Maui and Sith – together at last
So Revenge of the Sulky sucked big monkeys. But it looked pretty and stuff blew up.
Maui, on the other hand, was most fantastic and spectacular. Go see. Go see now!
And compiled on the way home, theatre projects that just wouldn't work:
- Computer Programming – The Musical
- A Civil Engineering Extravaganza!
- The Tour de France – On Stage At Last!
- An Intimate Evening with Don Brash
- Andrea and Her Amazing Troupe of Performing Fruit Flies!
Its a little frightening when you're googling for something utterly random1, something pops up and you think:
"hmm… looks interesting"
And then you read it and think:
"this looks familiar"
And then you remember that you wrote it, six months ago.
Anyway, have had enough of maintaining a dialoging process to enhance the ongoing strategic redefinition of the evaluative exercise2, ama going to K shortly.
1 – "FA-SIFT nz", if you must know.
2 – yes, I'm taking the mick here, but several other people are not.
David Hasselhoff calls his agent and demands, "I want everyone to call me The Hoff from now on."
His agent replies "Sure! No hassle."
Anyway, no aerials practise this saturday, coz most of Wellington's professional aerialists are performing in Maui. So go see Maui instead!
Or do lots of press-ups.
Going native
You know that you're going native when you find yourself at a seminar on innovation in electric fencing. And you find it really interesting.
*slaps head, goes off to drink warm beer and watch cricket*
Wonking away!
You know you're getting old and sad, pipe and slippers styleee, when you're really pleased to get the Budget. The whole thing, all 3000 plus pages. Its exciting, really, it is. Lots of money for scientists and universities. It is a good budget, with much carrots and satisfaction.
Though sadly no special rapid-response fund for supporting masters students in religious studies. Treasury probably caned that one, coz Treasury are evil and drink the blood of kittens.
Pen shops in Wellington
Both my beloved Pilot Hi-Tecpoint V5 Extra Fine green pens are dying, consumed by my lust, or something dubious like that.
But where in town to get new ones? Whitcoulls on Lambton Q has many pens but no green, the Whitcoulls in Reading doesn't have any Hi-Tecpoints, curse their tinsel-draped souls. The busy magazine shop at the station end of Lambton Q has a surprising variety of pens for a tiny shop, but still no green. Can anyone give me some pointers to the best pen shops in town?
Wire walking workshop
Coz hard things are fun, though this wasn't too hard, just a case of get on, fall off, get on again.
Strangely, I can balance with arms and legs everywhere but where they're supposed to be. Anyway, both managed walking backwards and stepping through 180. Pulled off a 180 without stepping my feet, but that was more desperate failing than grace. Me wobbles lots.
But it is fun, and shall do more tomorrow.
Best cup of tea ever
You know those things that you've always wanted to do, but didn't realise that desire until after you'd done it? Well, I'd always wanted to have a cup of tea at a Nick Cave concert.
Randomness, as notabouthim hasn't yet:
We need more like John Francis. The no-cars thing, not the silence, that is.
*is tempted*
*thinks of snowboarding*
Aside from that, no aerials class tomorrow for you budding aerialists. But there is a wire-walking workshop this weekend, for anyone interested. The wire is very low. I am hoping flu goes away for tomorrow, or I shall be livid.
Blame fuvenusrs
1) True or false: Jez gets all the girls?
False. Jez is entirely unaware of the effect he has on people, and is thus desired for that. Were he to become aware, he might try to take advantage of it, and then it would have entirely the opposite effect. Just like Cassandra's, this is a spectacularly useless superpower.
2) Are you really Batman?
If I was, I wouldn't want to blow my cover, so I would deny it. So yes, I am Batman. Now, where's my black leather codpiece gone?
3) Why did you decide to join the circus?
Coz doing hard things is fun. And no-one's going to be that impressed by your awesome sofa-sitting skills.
4) What exactly IS your job? (Under 100 words, please)
Three words:
Scientists <---> Me <---> Government
5) And did you, in your formative years, learn to love the bomb?
In the 1980s, the Soviets had somewhere between six and nine targets within 15 km of my home. Targets worth a megaton nuke each, which gives an 'everybody dead' radius of nearly 3 km, and a 'most people dead' radius of 7 km. So bit of an overlap there.
Love isn't quite the right word, how about learned to expect evaporation if lucky, tedious and agonising death of self and everyone I'd known if not.
Don't know how you love, honey, but if love involves an expectation of the gravest consequences, then you can keep it.
Wire walking workshop
This weekend, a tightwire walking workshop. Coz doing hard things is fun.
In Newtown, 10-4, sat and sun, $20 per day. Email me if you're interested. You'll need shoes and stubbornness.
The UK election is turning out to be more interesting than expected1, but still pretty dull, the BBC's UK election coverage is fantastic, and in particular, the news announcer's2 ability to pronounce the names of constituencies like Caerphilly, Na h-Eilean an Iar, Blaenau Gwent, and Keighley, fills me with joy. And the regional accents from all over the country. Ooh, yes…
1 – the nazi scum of the British National Party doing worryingly well, but not a hope of winning any seats. Thank fvck, for once, for the first-past-the-post system.
2 – Peter Donaldson, doing this for 30 years, bless
My editorial on carbon taxes
This week the Government gave more details about the planned carbon tax, aimed at putting a price on carbon dioxide emissions.
The awareness of climate change in governments across the globe is a clear example of governments responding to rigorous work and solid evidence from the natural sciences.
However, will responses like the carbon tax work in practise? Here, we are on far less firm ground. The planet's responses to our emissions are becoming fairly well understood. We are beginning to be able to say that if we double the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, then we can predict the chances of particular climate changes. However, the responses of people and the economy to mitigative actions are far less well known. The understanding of these responses among social scientists and economists requires more research. This makes up the flip side of the coin in how humanity and the global climate interact and is just as serious a problem as the natural problem.
Because of this lack of understanding, researchers are limited in their ability to guide policy makers. There are many questions to be studied: around changing land use, measuring the nation's carbon cycle, what changes people's desires and their behaviour, and markets for emissions.
And for a specifically New Zealand research question – unlike most western nations, almost half of our greenhouse gas emissions are methane and nitrous oxides from agriculture, not carbon dioxide. Can we reduce this, aside from just getting rid of all our cows? NZ is supporting research into different pasture species, and possible additions to animal foods to reduce methane emissions, all questions for natural scientists. If this approach does work, then how should the costs and benefits of these solutions be distributed? That is another question for social scientists and economists.
Four, FOUR cents on a litre of petrol. Oh ffs! That's going to make bugger all difference. No, we need something with muscle. Try UK petrol prices, $2 per litre. That might shift things a tad.
Fings wot i earned today
C20C is a subproject in ACC which is a stream in CLIVAR which is run by the WCRP which is a part of the WMO which is a body of the UN.
Damn climatologists, for doing important stuff but making it boring and incomprehensible.
George Farthing, an expatriate British man living in America, was recently diagnosed as clinically depressed, tanked up on anti depressants and scheduled for controversial Shock Therapy when doctors realized he wasn't depressed at all – only British.
'Not depressed, just British' Mr Farthing, a British man whose characteristic pessimism and gloomy perspective were interpreted as serious clinical depression, was led on a nightmare journey through the American psychiatric system. Doctors described Farthing as suffering with Pervasive Negative Anticipation – a belief that everything will turn out for the worst, whether it's trains arriving late, England's chances at winning any international sports event or even his own prospects to get ahead in life and achieve his dreams.
"The satisfaction Mr Farthing seemed to get from his pessimism seemed particularly pathological," reported the doctors.
"They put me on everything – Lithium, Prozac, St John's Wort," said Mr Farthing. "They even told me to sit in front of a big light for an hour a day or I'd become suicidal. I kept telling them this was all pointless and they said that it was exactly that sort of attitude that got me here in the first place."
Running out of ideas, his doctors finally resorted to a course of "weapons grade MDMA", the only noticeable effect of which was six hours of speedy repetitions of the phrases "mustn't grumble" and "not too bad, really".
It was then that Mr Farthing was referred to a psychotherapist.
"Suicidal?" Dr Isaac Horney explored Mr Farthing's family history and couldn't believe his ears. "His story of a childhood growing up in a grey little town where it rained every day, treeless streets of identical houses and passionately backing a football team who never won, seemed to be typical depressive ideation or false memory. Mr Farthing had six months of therapy but seemed to mainly want to talk about the weather – how miserable and cold it was in winter and later how difficult and hot it was in summer. I felt he wasn't responding to therapy at all and so I recommended drastic action – namely ECT or shock treatment".
"Hopeless case"
"I was all strapped down on the table and they were about to put the rubber bit in my mouth when the psychiatric nurse picked up on my accent," said Mr Farthing. "I remember her saying 'Oh my God, I think we're making a terrible mistake'."
Nurse Alice Sheen was a big fan of British comedy giving her an understanding of the British psyche. "Classic comedy characters like Tony Hancock, Albert Steptoe and Frank Spencer are all hopeless cases with no chance of ever doing well or escaping their circumstances," she explained to the baffled US medics. "That's funny in Britain and is not seen as pathological at all."
Identifying Mr Farthing as British changed his diagnosis from 'clinical depression' to 'rather quaint and charming' and he was immediately discharged from hospital, with a selection of brightly coloured leaflets and an "I love New York" T-shirt.
Found on the web, made me laugh.

Family Lore Clinic: What happens if you do not turn up to a family court hearing?
The answer is: it depends - upon a number of factors, including the type of proceedings, the purpose of the hearing and the party who does not attend.
If the party who does not attend is the one that made the application, then the court may refuse the application, or may proceed in their absence.
If the party who does not attend is the respondent to the application, then the court may proceed with the hearing, if it is satisfied that the respondent received reasonable notice of the hearing and if the circumstances of the case justify proceeding with the hearing.
If the court cannot proceed with a hearing because of the failure of a party to attend, then it may penalise that party by ordering them to pay the other party's costs of the hearing.
Where a party does not attend a hearing and the court makes an order against them, the party who failed to attend may apply for the order to be set aside. The court may set aside the order if that party acted promptly, had a good reason for not attending the hearing and has a reasonable prospect of success at the hearing.
Of course, if the court has ordered a party to attend a hearing, then failure to do so would be a contempt of court, which could be punishable with imprisonment.
The simple rule is, of course: you should attend any hearing, unless the court has stated that you do not need to do so.
As usual, if you require more details or specific advice, you should consult a specialist family lawyer.

In early 2013, Expedition PR was brought on board to help with the opening of Falansai Vietnamese Kitchen (pronounced faa-laan-sai) in Brooklyn. The restaurant opened its doors in May 2013 in a remote corner of Bushwick, an up-and-coming neighborhood in Brooklyn that is known for its galleries and street art. The goal was to position Falansai in the greater New York restaurant scene as a medium-priced restaurant whose dishes reflect the cross-pollinated culture of Vietnam, blending the heritage of Vietnamese street-food food with French flavors and Chinese cuisine, particularly from the ChaoZhou region. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients for its dishes.
Strategy & Program
The agency cooked up an integrated communications program to announce the opening of Falansai to diners and taste makers, combining media relations, social media marketing, events, advertising, and email marketing. Key activities included:
1. Let Diners Experience the Art of Vietnamese Food
- Attract diners: The team identified the most important social media channels for Falansai to engage with diners and "foodies". The agency created social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Foursquare for the restaurant and is using platforms such as Yelp and OpenTable for marketing activities and customer feedback. The agency place ads in neighborhood guides, including Brooklyn Now, Bushwick Daily and Wickbush.
- Engage diners: Using keywords, the team is monitoring discussions about food and art in Bushwick/Brooklyn for engagement via Twitter. Updates about dishes and drinks are posted across the social media channels and communicated via a monthly newsletter.
- Build a community: Falansai participated in the first Bushwick Restaurant Week 2013, an initiative to bring more diners from other neighborhoods to Bushwick.
- Education: At the end of the year, the restaurant hosted its first cooking class, teaching participants how to make Vietnamese Summer Rolls with Falansai's Auntie Luu. Class participants not only walked away with the know-how to make summer rolls, including the sauce, but also an understanding and appreciation of the process behind the dishes.
2. Establish Relationships with Bloggers & Restaurant Critics:
The opening of Falansai was first covered by Grubstreet. Time Out New York featured Falansai in the lead of its new restaurant column in the week of the opening. The agency distributed a press release to publications that are covering food and restaurants in New York and arranged meetings with local and food bloggers. After the restaurant was running for a couple of months, the team hosted its first group tasting for bloggers to introduce the 2013 fall dishes, along with a selection of Falansai's wines.
After six months up-and-running, the restaurant established close relationships with food and local bloggers and its Bushwick community, including art galleries and fellow business owners.
- Honors: L Magazine and Brooklyn Based listed Falansai as the best new Brooklyn restaurant in 2013; Brooklyn Magazine named Falansai's Clay-pot Catfish among the best 20 dishes in 2013. Village Voice named the Clay-pot Cat fish among the top 100 dishes in NYC; Falansai was listed in the 2014 Michelin Guide. Falansai's chef Henry Trieu was named among the best new chefs in 2013 by Brooklyn Magazine.
- Media: The Falansai opening was covered by several print and online publications including Time Out New York, The Village Voice WSJ, Grubstreet, Brooklyn Based, Brooklyn Exposed, The L Magazine, Bushwick Daily and Tasting Table.

In the mid-1990s the Mega Power Project policy met with limited success. Hence, aligned with the objective of ´Power to all by 2012´, GoI started planning Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPP) in 2005. Each of the projects with an installed capacity of 4,000 MW was envisaged with the intent to make power available at minimum cost through economies of scale and superior, energy efficient and environment-friendly technology.
Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL), Tata Power´s wholly-owned subsidiary, has implemented the 4000 MW (800 x 5 units) UMPP near the port city of Mundra in the state of Gujarat in India. This UMPP is India´s first 800 MW unit thermal power plant using supercritical technology, and is arguably the most energy-efficient, coal-based thermal power plant in the country. As per the bidding norms, the project was designed to be run on imported coal.
It is expected to benefit close to 16 million domestic consumers apart from supplying cost competitive power to industry and agriculture. The project will supply power to five states namely Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra in western India and to Haryana and Punjab in northern India, which are currently facing shortage of electricity. It will provide a competitive source of power and help meet these states´ growing demand for electricity. Reliable power from the project will help improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing and services industries. Competitive pricing will also improve access to electricity in rural and urban areas.
The plant uses super-critical boiler technology, which when compared to other sub-critical plants in India, means that the Mundra UMPP use 1.7 million tonnes of less coal per year while generating the same quantum of power. Boilers are supplied by Doosan and turbines are supplied by Toshiba.
I wish to start pvc / pp electric wire unit in Delhi. What kind of information I can get if I subscribe for your magazine
Pls invite me all auction in gujarat
we are doing business developing for solar power ,thermal power , customer supporting and we have 45 mw splar power on hand needs investors.....
thanks lot

It got almost a year of financing problems, false dreams and protracted negotiations regarding two national providers but, in July -based flight BMI Regional was reborn being an independent provider.
That was the aspect that is straightforward, according to BMI Regional's new executive chairman, Ian Woodley. "We're needing to recreate the airline in its entirety," he says.
Ian Woodley BMI Local, alongside its budget cousin BMI Baby, was its landing locations, order of BMI's main operations –'s unwanted stepchild and, more importantly at Heathrow – from Lufthansa this season.
All factors were happy each time a consortium of Scottish businessmen directed by Mr Woodley walked in with £8m in money to take BMI Regional off IAG's arms – most of all BMI Regional's 330 team, of whom were situated in Aberdeen the bulk. BMI Baby wasn't so fortunate. Its ultimate flight flew earlier this month.
Reassembling BMI Regional, which operates some global avenues to northern Europe and domestic routes in britain, has demonstrated a sensitive operation.
Though IAG dismantles and integrates BMI's main organization at one finish, Mr Woodley and his colleagues are doing the same at the different – all as the remains of BMI keeps offering consumers. "Some people liken it to performing not close -heart-surgery," says Mr Woodley. "You have to maintain all the individuals transferring when the entire system." changes
After almost five months of rapid exercise, nevertheless, BMI Local will start soaring as an independent enterprise at the end of April.
The takeover represents a return of types for Mr Woodley, who sold his previous flight, Enterprise Air, to what turned BMI in 1996.
Air-travel has changed significantly for the time being using a decidedly harder limited- haul and domestic market.
Gasoline charges have rocketed, leaving businesses with mostly smaller jets – for example BMI Regional, whose jets take 50 guests or less – facing greater costs per-customer.
On top of this, individuals that are fewer now travel domestically in the UK with individual numbers down a fifth since 2005. Flying is down due to trains that are better, air passenger duty and safety trouble says Andrew Lobbenberg, analyst at HSBC.
Is just a double-whammy for flights in the united kingdom as, unlike worldwide flights, it's accessed on both legs of the quest. Therefore also have the participants, as the game has altered. Than they're now "BA were far, far tougher inside the localized industry subsequently," says Mr Woodley.
Different airlines for example easyJet currently master domestic routes in britain with both draining prices out and escalating pricing pressure on the market.
Ian Woodley BMI Mr Woodley is optimistic a small, impartial flight can endure on the market.
After struggling to find financing elsewhere, the offer was backed by Stephen and Peter Bond – the two siblings who used to own Attachment Flight, the helicopter corporation, and who own a spot in Loganair, the Scottish flight – causing the team in a comparatively robust budget. "We have if you take in the continued skepticism of the domestic marketplace no lender debt, which is hugely critical," says Mr Woodley.
He thinks that a nimble and modest organization, having a robust balance sheet, will be able to contend. "At the minute, our power lies in the fact that we could take over the business in a competitive value," he claims.
"It enables us to have a low cost structure. BMI Local was losing income in the perimeter because of key overhead costs."
BMI Regional dreams to be money-positive by June.
They should be liked by the federal government says Mr Woodley. "Unless you need every organization to be in and around Manchester, companies while in the regions must have access to airports."

David Shields in Conversation: Notes from the Highly Self-conscious Rat LabPosted by Catherine Lacey @ 10:45 am on February 22nd, 2013
-David Shields = highly self-conscious lab rat; David Shields = Canada
-Will the internet ever save anyone's life?
-Bret Easton Ellis's twitter feed
Catherine Lacey: I read How Literature Saved My Life during a two-week period when my only exposure to the internet was responding to a few emails on my phone. I read almost a book a day. It felt like it was saving my life. Since then my disdain/distrust of the internet seems to grow every day and your book made me remember, in a way, why. When I got to the list of fifty-five works you swear by, I realized that of all the works I find the most admirable, very few of them came to be online. And yet I have spent a lot of time reading things online, disproportionate to the enjoyment or worth I've found here. In light of this book and Reality Hunger, I'm curious about how you use the internet.
David Shields: I use the internet as a tool to figure out where the war is being waged that day on our individual and collective minds.
Catherine: Specifically, what websites and what kind of content? News? I'm assuming you still read books, too?
David: I read books almost entirely offline. Stuff online: I just follow what links come in to me and I explore them. There are no websites I return to in any predictable way.
Catherine: When I read Reality Hunger in 2009 I think I was feeling more positive about the possibilities and influence that the internet was having on literature, but now I'm not so sure. Am I just turning into a crank? I am starting to get the feeling that the brevity and quick turnaround time of internet publishing is not our friend. Do you think it is our friend?
David: Hmm. Internet publishing. Not sure I even know what that is. You mean the way you can write an article and it will be up on the web within minutes?
Catherine: I mean exactly that. The immediacy of online magazines.
David: Not hugely crucial to me—this aspect. I'm not running a newspaper. I'm trying to write books that will alter how people think in 20 years. Seems to me that we're not quite there yet with internet publishing. I'm virtually certain that within a generation—if not much sooner—publishing as we know it will be no longer, and my sense is that any decentralization of publishing, any removal of the middleman, is good. It's more chaos-making, but it's largely for the good. I gather you were/are writing a book about religion, and you may have religious impulses that I don't have. I have zero drive toward anything beyond this; there is nothing beyond the world of humans as nature and animals—and so if this is the particular chaos that we occupy now, it's no more and no less "meaningful" than the chaos occupied by our ancient amoeba-ancestors.
Catherine: I am doing the research for a project of some sort on religion, but I'm probably closer to your stance on caring about the here and now and the chaos that always has been and always will be. What I am concerned with is missing the slowness of books. I feel a tension between being a part of the global conversation that happens online and the vastly decelerated conversation that happens in books and literature, which take more time and thought to make and are generally edited more thoughtfully. I've been thinking of this a lot in the past year or so and How Literature Saved My Life made me think of it even more.
David: I'm offline a huge amount, I am mainly reading books, but when I am online I'm thinking as hard as I can about what this water is in which we're all swimming.
Catherine: As a culture we seem to be bingeing on ideas or the ideas of others constantly with no filter, no standards, no awareness. Information decadence. Social media is not what bothers me (it seems benign at least in this context.) I'm more concerned with the things that are being presented as news or guideposts in our conversations. Of course I don't want anyone to be censored, but do you ever feel like there is too much internet?
David: That's a funny idea to me. I wonder what are our age differences are, and how that is part of it. I'm 56.
Catherine: I'm 27, but I get the sense I may not have the most popular stance on this issue in my generation.
David: I feel like I implicitly have immense distance toward the entire phenomenon. I'm Canada, looking across the border at all the shootings going on in the US and thinking about it all. I'm not actively invested in the web as a place where I forge anything. (All puns intended.) It's more that I just know and think that it is entirely the air we breathe—you know it, I know it, even John McCain knows it—and so I dip my toe into it constantly and relatively briefly to feel what it is that has completely taken over our consciousness. I keep on thinking of myself walking up a hill in Seattle many years ago and having what felt like an epiphany of some kind. I just remember thinking how much everything I respond to has some velocity built into it—stand-up, prose-poem, literary collage, etc. One could protest this or recoil from this, but I feel like ever since that moment I've tried to watch my mind "getting faster," and I'm trying to write off of that velocity. That is, I'm trying not to push back against that speed. I could deplug and figure out a way that I could reread Proust in all 7 volumes with the attention and devotion I gave to in graduate school, but I feel like there is value in submitting myself to the whirlwind of the web and social media and trying to feel what it is like, what is it doing to our nerve endings, and trying to write about that. I'm a highly self-conscious lab rat, still unable to get out of the lab.
Catherine: That's beautiful. I feel like a highly self-conscious lab rat, too. You know, a lot of people would be surprised to hear you say that you even have a passing interest in reading Proust again. When I heard the title of your latest book I wondered if, in some way, it was an apology for Reality Hunger. Like you were saying, "Hey, wait! I don't hate novels! I'm not dancing on their graves! I love(d) them deeply!"
David: Reality Hunger burned literature down to the ground for me—How Literature Saved is my attempt to reconstitute it for myself. As Minna Proctor said generously in Bookforum, the heart to the manifesto's mind. Practice to the theory. Pam Houston called it something like rapturousness to the earlier crankiness.
Catherine: What I really want is there to be a book 30 year from now written by 2043's version of David Shields titled "How the Internet Saved My Life." How do we get there?
David: That is a great question. Steven Soderbergh is looking for "a new grammar"; he's weary of narrative prison of films. He's seeking a new language by which to express himself. Hey, join the fucking club. How do we get there? You just know it's out there, don't you? Someone is going to make of a million Facebook posts or Twitter feeds an astonishing collage. See Christian Marclay's The Clock. If that isn't a model, I don't know what is. You probably know The Clock, don't you, Catherine?
Catherine: I do. You talk about it in the book, too.
David: The 24-hour-long video made up of the briefest scraps of other people's films, transformed into a harrowing contemplation of time itself. That is a model. The Grey Album is a model. James Blake is a model. Bret Ellis's Twitter feed is a model.
Catherine: Why Bret Ellis's Twitter in particular? Is Bret Ellis's Twitter saving your (or anyone's) life?
David: He actually is. I think his twitter feed is utterly brilliant. It's my favorite work of his. He is actively trying to figure out how to live, how to think, how to feel, post-Empire. He's on it. He gets it, completely. He gets how to push back, how to be part of the culture and how to push back against ferociously it at the same time, to ignore it and transform it. He is a hugely catalyzing force for me.
Catherine: A few months ago I was describing this problem: I want to know what is culturally relevant and I want to know what is happening politically in the world and I want to know what topics are being discussed in the public arena. Yet I can rarely read an article beginning to end without wondering if I should be reading something else instead or clicking some link away from the piece or whatever, which seems like a thoroughly modern problem and one I'm not alone in. What I really need is someone to curate the 10 things each week I need to know about, yet I don't trust anyone (at least not any editor I know of) to tell me what those 10 things are. I have Reality Fatigue. Do you have any remedies?
David: I think this is a nearly universal condition, and Dr. Dave has no remedies. I feel like you are describing what it is I've been writing about since Remote (in 1996) onward. I like that line by Virginia Woolf, "On or about Dec 1, 1910, the world changed forever." I have the line not quite right. It's close to that. But it's hard not to think that on or about December 1, 1990 (or 2000 or 2010) or somewhere in that 20 year period, the world changed forever. It seems inarguable. As massive a change as the Guttenberg press. We might not like it, but to ignore it seems willed ignorance.
Catherine: Absolutely. Ignoring it would be much worse.
David: In some ways I think of my whole life as being a conversation between three parts of my study: the computer where all this internet activity happens, my chair in which I write on my yellow legal pad, and my day-bed on which I lie down and read books that take the top of my head off. I want to only be lying on that bed reading, or maybe sitting in my chair writing on my yellow legal pad, but it seems to me crucial to also be hugely tapped into the evolving human consciousness as it develops and deploys on the much-maligned and –bookmarked web. On the plane from Seattle to DC, I read Annie Ernaux's Things Seen in its beautiful little University of Nebraska Press paperback, and it saved my life every step of the way.
Catherine: What in particular about that book was life-saving? Would you add it to the list of the other fifty-five things?
David: It's very short, but I am loving it to death. It is unbelievably great. I've read it before, and I'm loving reading it again. What is so great about it? I'd say how she creates what Wayne Koestenbaum calls "an emergency out of sensibility." The whole book is AE describing external things: things in her Paris suburb, things seen on the metro, on TV, in film, in the newspaper. And it slowly emerges how much the book is about the intersection of internal psychic violence and outward public and political violence. .She is tracing the lineaments of that connection very subtly. By book's end, if I remember correctly, it all comes together in one extraordinary image involving a poster of a vagina, onto which someone has splashed red paint. An utterly, utterly great book. Brian Evenson in the intro gets the book wrong—he says it exists at some halfway point between life and art. Hardly. One would be hard-pressed to imagine a more complete, exciting, and contemporary work of art. It makes immense sense of contemporary being. "A great painting comes together, just barely." Collage is not a refuge for the compositionally disabled.

The Unborn Child (Review)
Netflix Streaming: No
Amazon Prime: No
"...there is a disappointing lack of horror..."
(Somchai Kemglad), Phim (Pitchanart Sakakorn), and their daughter,
Yaimai, begin to experience a haunting when Yaimai brings a toy home
from a temple...
The Unborn Child also follows a young teenage
couple who unexpectedly get pregnant and hire an illegal abortionist to
help, and a young woman who is pregnant -- this third subplot is very
obscure throughout most of the film. So, all three groups begin to
experience hauntings seemingly from children ghosts. There really isn't
much to discuss on the plot. The final act briefly gets lost in itself
with some bizarre, out-of-place scenes. However, the ending does
delivers some satisfying, albeit dark, closure.
The Unborn Child
is a film with a familiar yet interesting concept, and an unfortunate
lack of scares. The predictable plot could've been excusable if it had a
bit more content and horror. Instead, the film feels like it's dragging
its feet to an inevitably predictable ending. Okay, there are some
frights to be had. A couple of loud jump-scares and creepy visuals are
spread throughout, like a scene with a bloody, crying ghost, but not
enough to justify the already short runtime. There is some suspense,
too, but it is very light and underused. I would be lying if I said I
wasn't entertained, but I would also be lying if I said I was petrified.
Also, the film makes its intentions clear at the end where it
almost turns into a PSA -- well, almost clear. In a sense, this is an
anti-abortion film as it clearly states that the film is dedicated to
the dead babies and it hopes there won't be anymore. At the same time,
it may be an anti-illegal abortion film since it drops statistics about
the issue and its relevancy to Thailand. It even states it's part of a
campaign to raise awareness. (obviously all of the above is not
verbatim, but that's what it's stating.) Regardless, The Unborn Child
never really preaches, at least not until the final 2 or so minutes, I
just felt I should let you know if you're against this type of stuff in
The acting is good, nothing spectacular but far from bad.
If it adds any weight, Pitchanart Sakakorn is stupendously gorgeous to
look at. The cinematography is good, a couple of scenes feel cluttered,
though. The music is great, I really enjoyed the soundtrack. I purchased
and viewed the Hong Kong Region A Blu-ray; the picture and audio
quality are great, the English subs are more than adequate. Poj Arnon
directs The Unborn Child with only competent skills, never really striving to master his direction; he doesn't seem to
build suspense well, and there are problems in storytelling and
Overall, The Unborn Child is a serviceable horror
film. It's just barely decent, but entertaining, nonetheless. The story
is interesting, despite being generic, there are some good jump-scares
and eerie visuals, and Pitchanart Sakakorn... well, she's just
beautiful! (the movie's not really getting points for her beauty,
though.) However, there is a disappointing lack of horror in this film,
and some story and storytelling elements are sloppy.
Score: 5/10
Parental Guide: Some violence and blood, including abortions and dead fetuses.

23 tips to guide you through your next VC deal [Infographic]
Raising capital is often seen as one of the biggest challenges startups have growing up. And rightfully so, getting your hands on runway capital is tricky business, though it doesn't have to be. Y Combinator founder Paul Graham once jotted down the top characteristics of venture capitalists, coining it the Hackers Guide to Investors.
Although Graham's pointers are nearly a decade old, he does make a few good ones you can take learn from.
For instance, he explains that while money is important, it's not as important as the expertise that comes with it. "What separates the great investors from the mediocre ones is the quality of their advice. Most investors give advice, but the top ones give good advice," he wrote.
Some other golden nuggets of advice are the ability for entrepreneurs to sell their teams. As Clive Butkow from Grovest explained, Investors want to invest in brilliant people — it's that simple. Also, it's crucial to not only prove and demonstrate your product market fit, but the ability to keep selling that product.

Below are 23 easy-to-remember tips you should keep in your pocket (or your office wall) if you're looking to close your next deal.
For the full lowdown behind Graham's reasoning, check out his blog here.

We're supposed to support our troops. That's what good Americans do, but what exactly does that mean?
I've talked to several vets about Chris Kyle. Once they hear my opinion, pretty much every single one of them decides I'm an asshole. You see, every soldier is a hero, that's what we're told right? When a soldier comes back from the war, we're supposed to hold them up as the greatest human beings ever. Even when we discover that maybe these guys aren't the greatest, we're supposed to look past their flaws because of their sacrifice to the nation for our freedom.
Except this doesn't always hold true.
Take Chris Kyle for instance. He was the most prolific sniper in US history. He was a great soldier. You pointed him at an enemy, and he killed them. I am not questioning his ability as a sniper, nor am I saying that he did not potentially save hundreds or thousands of lives by killing lots of enemy soldiers before they could kill us. I'm not even going to question any racist comments he may have made while overseas, when you are killing people, one way to deal is to dehumanize the enemy. What I am questioning, are his actions when he returned home.
He made millions off of a broken promise to give it back to wounded vets, and lies about a fellow soldier. These are not things that a hero does. And yet, if you were to bring them up, people will tell you it doesn't matter. I was actually told by someone who it doesn't matter that all those vets Chris Kyle promised money to are quite possibly suffering, going without food or possibly even shelter, because they are alive, and Chris Kyle saved them all with his sniper rifle. I really wish I was making this up, but that was someone's actual reply.
Likewise, somehow, Jesse Ventura is not a hero, even though he was a soldier. What exactly did he do other than try to clear his name. All Chris Kyle had to do was admit it was all a lie, and retract those statements, and the suit would have been dropped. But Kyle saw his image as a hero above all else, so we all decided that Jesse Ventura is now the villain. He's taking all that money away from Kyle's widow. We don't care that its money she wasn't supposed to have in the first place since it was already promised to others, it's hers now because Chris Kyle was a hero.
And what about Eddie Ray Routh? He's got to be a villain, after all, he killed our hero. But he was also a Marine, which makes also makes him a hero, right? But if you look at any articles about him, they won't mention any heroism during his time in the corps, except to ask whether he picked up any Muslim sympathies while in Iraq. Why can't we just leave it at him being a diagnosed schizophrenic with PTSD? Why do we have to make him out to be some kind of cold-blooded terrorist? Is it because he didn't kill as many people in the war? If he was more of a cold-blooded killer in Iraq, like our hero Kyle was, would we instead be blaming the US government for their poor treatment of our vets?
Isn't' that what we should be doing anyway? Shouldn't we be supporting our troops by demanding that they aren't brought back from hellish conditions and then just dumped into civilian life? Shouldn't we be making sure that they are mentally, physically, and financially able to start their life as a civilian again?
But that takes more work that just slapping a magnetic ribbon on the back of your car.

When the tears run dry, so many spent.
When the pain hurts more, it won't relent.
Hold on tight to the love of all.
To catch us when we scream and fall.
Raging angels work behind the scenes.
Anonymous souls on TV screens.
Through humble help, they comfort all.
To catch us as we scream and fall.
The days ahead are darker still.
The loss, deep grief – a bitter pill.
Love your neighbour, love them all.
Through hatred, we do scream and fall.

text: 24th Jun 10:50 Two years ago at the first Microsoft Professional Developers Conference, dedicated to Longhorn, Microsoft officials showed how Microsoft planned to support RSS in Longhorn. Today, the software mogul is set to provide an update on its plans for baking RSS (Really Simple Syndication) into the forthcoming operating system. Microsoft is expected to take the wraps off its updated strategy at the Gnomedex conference, which kicks off today in Seattle. Dean Hachamovitch, general manager of Microsoft's Internet Explorer team, will deliver one of keynotes at Gnomedex. While some industry watchers were speculating over the past couple of weeks that Microsoft might use the conference to launch the first beta of IE 7.0, it seems more likely that Hachamovitch instead will discuss how the company plans to build RSS support directly into the version of IE that will be integrated into Longhorn. Dave Winer, who runs the Scripting News Weblog and also is set to keynote at Gnomedex, provided some of the back story on Microsoft's RSS plans on his site Wednesday. "On Friday, you'll see how deeply integrated RSS is in the architecture of the browser. But that's just the tip of what may turn out to be a very big iceberg," Winer said.

Bartolomeo Eustachi
Eustachi, Bartolomeo
Eustachi, Bartolomeo
(b. San Severino, Ancona, Italy, ca. 1500–1510; d. on the Via Flaminia en route to Fossombrone, Italy, 27 August 1574)
Bartolomeo was the son of Mariano, a physician, and Francesca (Benvenuti) Eustachi. He had a good humanistic education, in the course of which he acquired such an excellent knowledge of Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic that he was able to edit an edition of the Hippocratic glossary of Erotian (1566) and is said to have made his own translations of Avicenna (Ibn Sīnā) from the Arabic. He appears to have studied medicine at the Archiginnasio della Sapienza in Rome, but it is not known precisely when. He began to practice medicine in his native land about 1540. He was thence invited to be physician first to the duke of Urbino, and then, in 1547, to the duke's brother, Cardinal Giulio della Rovere, whom Eustachi followed to Rome in 1549. There he was invited to join the medical faculty of the Sapienza as the equivalent of professor of anatomy, and to this end he was permitted to obtain cadavers for dissection from the hospitals of Santo Spirito and Consolazione. With advancing years Eustachi was so severely afflicted by gout that he was compelled to resign his chair. He continued, however, to serve Cardinal della Rovere, and it was in response to the cardinal's summons to Fossombrone in 1574 that he set forth, only to die on the way.
Eustachi's first works were Ossium examen and Demotu capitis, both written in 1561 and directed against the anti-Galenism of Vesalius, for whom he had developed a unilateral hostility. Otherwise his researches had a more unbiased scientific purpose and displayed his notable ability as an anatomist.
In 1562 and 1563 Eustachi produced a remarkable series of treatises on the kidney, De renum structura; the auditory organ, De auditus organis; the venous system, De vena quae azygos graecis dicitur; and the teeth, De dentibus. These were published, together with the two earlier defenses of Galen, in Opuscula anatomica (1564), although the De dentibus has a separate title page bearing the date 1563. The treatise on the kidney was the first work specifically dedicated to that organ—it displays a detailed knowledge of the kidney superior to that of any earlier work and contains the first account of the suprarenal gland and a correct determination of the relative levels of the kidneys. It was also in this treatise that Eustachi for the first time emphasized the problem of anatomical variation, which had been previously touched upon briefly by Vesalius.
The second treatise on the auditory organ provides a correct account of the tube (tuba auditiua) that is still referred to eponymously by Eustachi's name, and contains a description of the tensor tympani and stapedius muscles. Eustachi's claim to discovery of the stapes is inadmissible, however, since it was mentioned orally by Giovanni Filippo Ingrassia in 1546 and in print by Pedro Jimeno (1549), Luis Collado (1555), and Falloppio (1561).
Eustachi, basing his work on the dissection of fetuses and newborn children, was also the first to make a study of the teeth in any considerable detail. He provided an important description of the first and second dentitions and, in some respects preceded by the account of Falloppio, described the hard outer tissue and soft inner structure of the teeth. He further attempted an explanation of the problem, not yet completely solved, of the sensitivity of the tooth's hard structure. In his work on the azygos vein and its ramifications Eustachi described the thoracic duct and indicated a careful and relatively advanced knowledge of the heart's structure.
In 1552 Eustachi, with the help of Pier Matteo Pini, a relative and an artist, prepared a series of forty-seven anatomical illustrations; these were engraved, two on the obverse and reverse of a single copper plate, by Giulio de' Musi of Rome. The illustrations were prepared for a book entitled De dissensionibus ac controversiis anatomicis but were never published. The first eight large octavo plates, labeled Tabula Prima-Octava, were used in the Opuscula anatomica to portray aspects of the kidneys, the azygos vein and its ramifications, the veins of the arm, the heart, and the Eustachian valve (valvula venae cavae in the right auricle) which is illustrated in Tabula Octava. Somewhat curiously the stapes is illustrated on Tabula Septima with the kidney, perhaps a last-minute addition since this ossicle is also portrayed and more correctly located on one of the plates (XXXXI) discussed below.
Since Eustachi mentioned forty-seven plates (that is, forty-seven copperplate engravings) in the Opuscula anatomica but actually made use of only eight of them in that work, the remainder seemed to have been lost after his death and were sought for long and unsuccessfully—by Marcello Malpighi, among others. Ultimately the missing thirty-nine engravings (in folio size and differently labeled Tabula IX-XXXXVII) were discovered in the early eighteenth century in the possession of a descendant of Pier Matteo Pini, to whom Eustachi had, as it was learned, bequeathed them. They were purchased by Pope Clement XI for 600 scudi and presented to Giovanni Maria Lancisi, his physician and a successor to Eustachi in the chair of anatomy at the Sapienza. Lancisi published the plates, together with the eight smaller ones that had already appeared in 1564, under the title Tabulae anaiomicae Bartholomaei Eustachi quas a tenebris tandem vindicatas (1714). Although devoid of Eustachi's planned text, the plates alone assure him a distinguished position in the history of anatomy. They are not the first copper-engraved anatomical illustrations to be produced, as has sometimes been declared, however, but rather the third, following those of Giambattista Canano (1541?) and those of Thomas Geminus, Compendiosa totius anatomie delineatio aere exarata (1545). Nevertheless, they are strikingly modern in appearance, clearly produced without decorative accompaniment. Sometimes, as in the instance of the "musclemen," they display both sides of the body in juxtaposition, with a numbered rule on three sides of the figures to which numbered references are made in the text for identification of detail.
Despite such modern effects the plates are, oddly enough, arranged in a way that suggests the pattern of dissection that had been followed from medieval times up to that of Vesalius, that is, beginning with the most corruptible parts and continuing thence to the least corruptible. Thus the Eustachian plates begin with the abdominal structures, then those of the thorax, followed by the nervous system, vascular system, muscles, and finally the bones. Despite the apparent detail and precision of representation within the illustrations, their arrangement suggests some sparsity of dissection material—unlike the relative wealth of it available to Vesalius which permitted him to discard the traditional organization of anatomical treatises.
A possible paucity of cadavers is also suggested by a kind of economy of detail in some of the Eustachian figures of the whole body, such as the "musclemen," except in those areas meant expressly for representation of a specific structure. Lack of information on Eustachi's activities prevents more than such surmise of limited dissection material. Whatever the case, examination of the individual plates reveals him to have had remarkable powers of observation. As an example, Tabula XVIII, displaying the base of the brain and in particular the sympathetic nervous system, surpasses in accuracy any similar delineation produced during the sixteenth century. In fact, the illustration of the sympathetic system is generally considered to be one of the best ever produced. The other illustrations of the nervous system are, however, of lesser quality, perhaps inferior to those of Vesalius. Similarly Tabula XXVI, illustrating the vascular system and the relationships of vessels to muscles, is also of notably superior quality, and this may likewise be said of Tabula XXXXII, which represents the dissection of the laryngeal structures. Had the Eustachian anatomical illustrations not been lost to the medical world for over a century, it seems likely that anatomical studies would have reached maturity in the seventeenth rather than the eighteenth century.
The Opuscula anatomica (Venice, 1564) is an exceedingly rare book; it was reprinted in Leiden, 1707, and Delft, 1726. The Tabulae anatomicae (Rome, 1714) was republished in Amsterdam, 1722, but with copies of the original plates; in Rome, 1728, with the original plates again used; in Leiden, 1744, with newly engraved copies of the plates accompanied by separate outline plates of equal size on which explanatory letters were engraved. This edition, edited by B. S. Albinus, is the most desirable one for purposes of study. Further editions of the Tabulae were published in Venice, 1769; Amsterdam, 1798, in German translation; and Amsterdam, 1800. Finally, there is a commentary as well as an edition of the plates by Gaetano Petrioli, to whom Lancisi bequeathed them, Riflessioni anatomiche sulle note di Lancisi fatte sopra le tavole del cel. B. Eustachio (Rome, 1740). It is chiefly of significance for the attached biography study of Eustachi by Barnardo Gentili.
There is a biographical study of Eustachi by G. Bilancioni, Bartolomeo Eustachi (Florence, 1913), and a collection of documents, Memorie e documenti riguardanti Bartolomeo Eustachio pubblicati (Fabriano, 1913), and a collection of documents, Memorie e documenti riguardanti Bartolomeo Eustachio pubblicati nel quarto centenario dalla nascita (Fabriano, 1913). The plates as anatomical illustrations are discussed by Ludwig Choulant, Mortimer Frank, trans., History and Bibliography of Anatomic Illustration (Chicago, 1920), pp. 200–204, and by Robert Herrlinger, Geschichte der medizinischen Abbildung (Munich, 1967), pp. 133–137.

When I started writing this blog 6 months ago, my wish was that my 'foodie ramblings' would give a bit of a shout out to the independents of the restaurant industry. As I always say, I am a big fan of businesses that are run with passion and an insatiable desire to offer people a different dining experience, value for money and just great food. And while this is pretty much the norm in most indie establishments, there are a few restaurants which exceed these expectations, simply because they go over and above in one or more of these aspects.
Located opposite Victoria Park on Cowbridge Road East in Cardiff, (which I have to say is rapidly becoming a foodie heaven hub – try saying that after a few!); Mangla's Spice of Life is an example of one of these establishments.
Originally from the State of Gujarat in Western India, it had always been the dream of Mangla Dodiya to open her own restaurant. With the dream very clearly now a reality, Mangla's Spice of Life offers authentic home-style vegetarian and vegan Gujarati dishes.
A cosy and relaxed dining atmosphere awaits you on entering the open plan restaurant. Large windows let the light flood in, while house plants, bright flowers and candles add a 'homely' touch. Put simply, if it wasn't for the slightly more industrial style kitchen in the corner, you could imagine that you had been welcomed into someone's own dining room. All it really needed was a few bar stools at the pass, and I would have quite happily grabbed my glass of wine, and sat there watching and chatting to Mangla while she busied herself around the kitchen!
With a large group of us dining, we had pre-ordered to ensure that preparation for the dishes could start prior to us arriving. Now I'm not sure about anyone else, but one of two things always happens when I do this 1) I either fancy the dish on the day I order, however really wish I had gone for an alternative on arrival, or 2) spend the time between ordering and arrival, suppressing a yearning for the dish that I have chosen. Needless to say with 'curry cravings' in full swing, the 10 day lead in time had certainly not induced the former.
Taking our seats, it wasn't long before two small 'towers' of complimentary papadums arrived. Served with sambhara – a Gujerati-style cabbage with carrots, it made for a welcome change to the usual chutneys, pickles and yoghurt dips.
The menu offers a good choice of starters, priced at £4 each, choices included mixed vegetable samosa, sukhi bhajee and potato patri.
Potato Vada | £4.00
However being a big fan of Vada Pav (a spiced potato patty served in a bread roll, more commonly found in Mumbai), I was keen to experience the Potato Vada on the menu. Certainly not scrimping on portion size (in fact I ended up taking two home for lunch the next day!) – 4 beautifully fried vada of potato with green chillies, coriander, ginger and turmeric were delicious and delicately spiced with the heat pleasantly building in the mouth.
With many in our group opting for a variety of the main course dishes, which ranged from £6-£8 and included Pea and Spinach Paneer (never been a massive fan of paneer, but I am assured this was delicious), Moong Dal and Dhokra…naturally I went for the slightly different option!
Tucked away down at the base of the menu you can order The Thali Dish. Priced at £20, this is a sharing dish for two people and includes:
Onion bhajis and mixed vegetable pakoras
A choice of two saak dishes from:
Channa saak
Gujurati mixed vegetable saak
Chori (black eye beans) potato saak
2 roti
A portion of plain basmati rice
Yoghurt dip and tomato chutney
Onion Bhajis and Mixed Vegetable Pakoras
All beautifully fried and crispy, the bhajis and pakoras were well spiced with a good (not-overpowering) hit of green chili. The vegetable pakoras were particularly good with their mix of broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, carrot and potato. These combined with the yoghurt dip and what I can only describe as a stunning tomato chutney with a hint of mango, made for a delicious starter.
Yoghurt dip with cumin and coriander
Heading onto the main course, we had opted for the channa saak and Gujurati mixed vegetable saak, which were served with basmati rice and roti. Delicately spiced, I have to say both delivered on flavour with all the ingredients well cooked.
Channa Saak | Chickpeas and potatoes
Gujarati Mixed Vegetable Saak | Gavar Beans, Tindora, Cauliflower, Potato, Peas and Spinach
However, the standout dish was the Gujurati mixed vegetable saak – and while my personal preference would have been to have a touch more green chili thrown in, it was simply delicious. The vegetables and spices were perfectly cooked and combined with the basmati rice, it was a big bowl of comforting curry that you could happily fold your roti around.
Bonus Points
- Fresh ingredients and vegetables all 'home-cooked' to order, excellent portion sizes and fantastic value for money…what more could you want!
- There are a good selection of Indian beers on offer including Cobra, Kingfisher and Tiger. Wine is reasonably priced at £12 for a bottle – but note that a per glass option is not available (damn shame that I had to drink the whole bottle really – ha ha!)
- Mangla also offers a chilled take-away lunch menu. Available from 12pm-3pm (Tues-Sat) – you can pick up a range of delicious dishes starting from £5.50 to warm up at home.
- I love that Mangla's Spice of Life is the realisation of a dream to set up a restaurant in the heart of her community.
Would I go again?
I'll definitely be back – I have a bit of a soft spot for Indian cuisine, so my curry cravings need satisfying on a regular basis.
Would I recommend Mangla's Spice of Life?
100% yes – whether you are a vegetarian or not, if you enjoy authentic Indian cuisine, Mangla's Spice of Life is most definitely a contender for the top spot in Cardiff for this type of restaurant. Mangla is so welcoming and passionate about the restaurant; it was lovely to be able to speak to her after our meal.

Article from the 1894 opening of the
Old Central Fire Station
The Aurora Daily Beacon News
Aurora Illinois, Monday November 19, 1894
One morning a short time ago, when a BEACON man dropped into the structure near the foot of Main Street, used as a hose house, he found the members of the department circled closely around the stove, endeavoring to keep warm. The task seemed hopeless, as the wind whistled through the countless crevices and as it was raining there were numerous drizzling streams coming down through the sieve which took the place of a roof, and life was being made miserable for the occupants of the shell. But they were happy, for only a few steps away the new building for their use was rapidly approaching completion. They were filled with joyous anticipation of the comfort which should be theirs when once they were ensconced in their splendid new quarters.
Today, they are exceedingly happy, for the beautiful and commodious building stands completed, a model of its kind and a home of which they may justly feel proud. If there are any finer structures for the purpose in the state of Illinois, Aurora people don't know where they are located. In respect to cost, finish, appearance, convenience and good taste, there is nothing additional to wish for. The building, which everybody has watched grow to its present graceful proportions, might be the pride of any city. It stands on the site of the old No. 1 house and patrol barn, which had come to be as disgraceful shanties as public buildings ever degenerate into and the improvement in that particular spot of Broadway is wonderful.
The combination feature of the structure is what is seldom found in buildings of the kind. The original plans were drawn in the rough by Alderman George James, chairman of the police committee of the council, and were practically followed by architect, J. E. Minott. The contract for the building was let to Nicholas Frisch, an Aurora contractor and builder, for $9,040, and the heating apparatus, and a few other extras will swell the total figure to about $10,000.
The painting has been done by George H. Cassidy. Bigler & Danahy furnish all the hardware and metal work. Zack & Mylius have done the plumbing, and Corbett & Stadler have supplied the steam boiler and heating outfit. The committees on the fire and water and police have done a great amount of hard work in pushing the matter to a successful completion and have saved the city nearly or quite $2,000. The chairman of these committees are Aldermen John Coughlin and George James, the latter being member of both.
The building is a fine two-story brick structure, surmounted at the front with a mosque like tower, from the apex of which stretches a flag staff,.and on this the national colors floated proudly in Saturday's breeze and sunshine. At the rear is a box shaped tower, 55 feet high, for drying and washing hose. The center space, on the first floor front, is occupied by a small room for the use of the patrol driver and police. This will be furnished by Denney & Denney. A few feet back of it is a handsome stairway, in the rear of which are ten lockers, with another under the stairs.
The north apartment will be occupied by the patrol wagon and a hook and ladder truck, while on the south side will be the other hook and ladder truck, a hose cart, and the chemical engine. Back of these are eight stalls for horses, four on each side, with two extra stalls still further back on the south side. In the rear is the big boiler room, occupying the northeast corner, while opposite is a back stairway leading to the second floor. A water closet and such cupboards as are necessary are also on this floor. The two brass sliding poles reaching down from the upper story are in the front corners.
The second floor is admirably arranged. The chief of the fire department has a fine room at the front center, with large sleeping rooms on either side, the latter fitted with the requisite number of lockers. There are separate bath rooms for the police and firemen. Light is admitted through six skylights, and a big center shaft affords both light and ventilation. In the rear of this floor is a roomy hay loft and an oat bin which will hold several hundred bushels. Every bit of room is utilized, and in all respects the building is one of the utmost convenience. The finish is admirable, and its appearance, inside and out, is attractive. Over the three front entrances, in the big cut stone caps, are the letters A. F. D., so that no one need mistake the character of the building.
The department moved out of the old buildings July 17, and work was begun on the foundation of the new one shortly after. The departments hope to get moved today.

This week, the podcast team tackle the failure of abstinence education. Be warned there's some salty language and uncomfortable moments, a must when discussing sex education of any kind.
One thought on "PODCAST 9 – 4/23/2015: Abstinence Only Education a Failure"
Hi there everybody, here every person is sharing these kinds of knowledge, so it's good to read this web site, and I used to pay a visit this blog daily.
