seesat5 - provides satellite visibility information.
seesat5 [ report ] [ go <Label> ] | [ <command> ... ]
This program uses the sgp4 algorithm provided by NORAD to produce position information on a satellite. Seesat5 can produce tracking information for one satellite over a period of several days, or for a collection of satellites over that period. By providing filter conditions seesat5 prints out only those satellites you might have a chance to see rather than all the satellites that pass above the horizon. Seesat5 is typically run by placing control commands into an init file called SEESAT5.INI. See seesat5 (7) for the description of these commands. If there is no init file Seesat5 will present the operator with a '>' prompt where commands can be entered. From the prompt seesat5 will begin analysis when sufficient parameters have been entered to begin the run. Seesat5 uses selection conditions to filter the data so that only high and bright satellites are printed. Note that the selection conditions are used to select whether or not the current passes data will be printed. If it is printed, then the complete pass data is printed. ie. all data from when the satellite comes over the horizon until it goes below. For lines that satisfied ALL the selection conditions, a "+" sign is printed as the first character. Options report This option will disable printing of report records in the output of the run. These include all command lines found in SEESAT5.INI or entered from the command line or the prompt. go Followed by a label, this option causes branching within the SEESAT5.INI to begin execution at the line following label. Branching occurs when the cmdline command is executed in the SEESAT5.INI file. command Most of the commands that can be found in SEESAT5.INI can be entered on the command line. If you desire the SEESAT5.INI file to execute after the command line be sure to make the last command RET.
SEESAT5.INI The control file for seesat5 *.tle Two line element files used by seesat5.
seesat5(7), SEESAT5.INI(5), tle(5), cr(1)
Seesat5 is not always able to check data integrity. Since computation and output is driven by the data in the two line element, subtle errors in a tle can cause floating point exceptions. In addition there are several commands that do not work well together, like SHOWTLE and RUNTIME. Please report any problems with seesat5 to Dale Scheetz <firstname.lastname@example.com>.

Escape to the Movies: Halo Legends
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 . . . 15 NEXT
Charlie Brown reference = My excessive laughter.
I would like to agree with you thank you.
There's nothing wrong with Halo fans, they're not all foaming at the mouth, must kill things now, type idiots. I really enjoyed the Halo games, I'm not going to argue that they're particularly original, but I do like a bit of space opera every now and then and I do think the music is incredible. Plus the gameplay suits my playstyle for multiplayer better than COD4. I will admit that I haven't played it recently and I didn't buy ODST because, apart from the Fireflyness, I found it difficult to get excited about.
About Halo:Legends I wasn't particularly hyped about it before and after seeing this review I still am not hyped about it, probably something to do with me disliking anime really, I kinda get why people like it, but I've yet to find anything of that sort that I can enjoy.
Then you sir, need to watch Baccano! right the hell now. The dub (which in deference to tradition, is not only good, it's better than the original audio) is up on Hulu for free. It's only 16 episodes long too.
Also rememer: Anime is not a genre. It's a medium.
I agree, but if you just look at the protagonist for Bioshock, he is mute and not massively fleshed out, but Rapture is a work of art. I think that Bioshock is one of the most beautiful games out there, just because of the way the art direction has been done.
Sorry for being slow, but what do you mean by a medium in this case?
So you've never seen his Game Overthinker series on Screwattack? Where he doesn't review games but looks at the issues around them, such as portrayal of women, lack of minority characters, and even criticizing his own precious Nintendo?
On another note, Bob, your thoughts on the Iron Man and Wolverine anime projects? Produced by Madhouse, and I've yet to hear anything recent, but hey, it's still on the table.
I mean it's no different than books, movies, or games. It's just another medium for storytelling. There's lots of different genres for it, where everyone seems to think they are all about little girls with breasts larger than their bodies in giant robots.
To contrast: Baccano is about mobsters. Oh, and the first episode is a bit confusing, so don't be turned off by it.
So basically this is The Animatrix. Nothing special and totally worth missing out on except for one, maybe two shorts. Oh and by the way, the Duel sucked xD It looked pretty in the beginning, but it only got more and more confusing until it was ridiculous. Not to mention the story is a rehash of every samurai cliché ever invented.
This has officially made me interested in seeing Halo Legends...
Good job, M-Bob...
Quoted for truth. Here's another way to think about it:
Imagine filling a burlap sack with every single cliche you've come to accept about anime: giant robots, superpowered samurai, teenagers wielding weapons of mass destruction, legions of women fawning over sexually inert men, gratuitous and unecessary diversions to the beach/pool, etc. Then, imagine a show that takes that sack, ties it to a cinder block, and then throws it off the end of a pier. That show is basically Baccano!
I can't wait to see it. As soon as I get home from work tonight, I'll scope it out on netflix.
b-b-b-but Valve is over-rated.
Sadly, western character designs are largely generic macho space marines. These days it seems to be either that or custom characters a la Mass Effect. (I know which one I prefer.) The only fallout I think you'll get there would be of the "but I like generic macho space marines!!" variety.
I do object, though, to the assertion that Japanese designs are any more varied. Few recently introduced japanese game characters don't fall into the "spunky, hair-gelled pubescent" or "anthropomorphic cartoon fantasy animal" categories. (Keep in mind that legacy characters like Mario don't count.)
With due respect, animation is the medium. You could argue that anime is a movement rather than a genre (which is kind of a silly distinction to make), but it's demonstrably not a new medium.
good job MB, you made me care enough about Legends to actually take a look at it when it comes out in the UK (assuming there's a delay in release as per usual)
my argument for "b-b-b-b-but FPS" is "i play FPSs to shoot up, kill, destroy and otherwise bring ruin to shit" i don't give two tugs of a dead dogs cock about story in an FPS, be it in single or multiplayer
Genre refers to storytelling, not style. Granted, movement is more accurate, but even in anime there's numerous different styles. And that's not even getting into the numerous different artstyles in manga.
Moviebob, I officially love you now. Granted, I loved your videos before, but your absolutely dead-on commentary on the "ghey anime will ruin our Haloz" brouhaha, not to mention the general East vs. West thing, is nothing short of brilliant, even moreso a much-needed necessity.
As for Halo Legends, I wasn't interested before, but I kinda am now since it seems to take the piss out of the aforementioned Halo fanboys.
TimeSplitters 2, buddy. That's all I'm sayin'.
Also, please use the picture that accompanied "you mean there's a single player" every chance you get. It adds to my happy.
you obviously don;t know much about moviebob, he has a whole other blog and series of videos on screw attack called "The game overthinker" you're kinda late to tell him to stay out of games by about, 2 years or so.
I have to admit, I've seen Halo: Legends and, really, I enjoyed the hell out of most of it. Yeah, there were a couple duds in there. For me, one of them was The Duel. I was interesting and had interesting concepts, but the art style just didn't work for me. Plus, I find it rather odd that apparently the Sangheili had a society who armored its warriors exactly the same as Japan did a couple hundred years ago. But maybe that's just me.
And if you think Halo is all about a bunch of super manly men grunting super manly thing and being the manly epitome of manliness whilst wielding manly guns and giving each other manly man pats on the ass like manly football players at the MANLIEST SPORTING EVENT IN THE WORLD, then you've not read either of the books that Eric Nylund wrote. They're both all about the humanity of the whole thing and, really, the paradoxical tragedy and salvation that was the SPARTAN-II project.
As a note to all of you itching to call me a rabid fanboy: I loved Halo:CE. Halo 2 was bad. Halo 3 was meh. They'd both been done before, and better, by their progenitor.
It was really hard to hear what he was saying over the sound of Japan's balls furiously smacking against his chin.
But however, in all seriousness, Fuck Japan.
oh ho? what excatly are your problems with the country from which half of my family comes from? awfully chauvinistic statement you're making there buddy
I love that you use the term "Halo trolls" in the same point as an image of someone crying with the whole "waah" thing going on, which is pretty much the biggest example I can think of being a troll. Only you're doing it to the people you call trolls. I love the sense of irony you are conjouring up. Hilarious.
Of course, I've never actually seen one of these mythical Halo trolls, which leads me to believe that you're talking about the anti-Halo trolls who pop up so regularly and with the tedious inevitability of a dick joke in a Zero Punctuation episode. With that in mind, I can at least see how you connected trolls and Halo, but I thought you were smart enough to work out that all the trolls think hating Halo is cool, not the other way round.
Wait Wait Wait....
Halo has a single Player!!
I do not accept your challenge!
Ugh, my two least favourite things. Halo story telling, and Japanese art direction. God I hate anime. And Halo is boring in the extreme. It just goes to show you how far personal opinion can differ. Someone who enjoyed Halo AND anime could not be further from me on any scale.
Sorry if this comment didn't add much to the discussion, but I think its amazing that someone out there enjoyed this.
[quote="wildcard9" post="6.177289.5122133"I think that would be a little more to your likings Moviebob, as I can personally tell you that if XBOX live is full of imature trolls, at least PC online is a bit better.[/quote]
Counter-Strike begs to differ.
Anyway, I'm renting Halo Legends from Netflix after I've shown my family Citizen Kane. I've got a minor interest in it, but considering I only really liked one story out of the Batman shorts I'm not going to assume this is going to be all that good.
Halo does have the opportunity for some great story-telling. The plot for the marines is, for the most part, boring as opposed to the more interesting Covenant (the side that, for some reason, no one ever wants to explore and in fact hated seeing explored in Halo 2). Halo 3 completely dropped the ball and had an ass for a story altogether.
What gets me is that whoever they get to do the commercials captures the real potential of the franchise better. I absolutely love the full advertisement for ODST, how it begins with the funeral of a young man's father, shows him training, going to war, nearly dying, and then the very last shot that says it all without words. He's older, buried yet another of his friends in an endless fight. Gun fire is heard in the distance, and the man dons his helmet as if to say "same old song and dance" while the younger marine, not yet embittered by the experience, gears up with purpose, believing that they can still make a difference.
It's a series of depressing emotions that the Halo universe COULD capture incredibly well, and the ODST game ALMOST captures (seriously, ODST >>>>>> Halo 3). Unfortunately, the game has to instead focus on the Master Chief being some sort of bad ass.
Holy shit I just realized they didn't just steal the Halo Ring from Larry Niven's Ringworld, but even that one chick's "special ability" being how incredibly lucky she is. Wow, good job Bungie. You didn't even make good use of that plagiarization.
>Implying there is only one Japanese art direction
Really, this comment said it the best for me.
Anyway, i'll probably pick this up, mainly since Halo holds a special place in my heart, and partly becuase alot of these stories seem rather interesting. (Although some seem, Bleh...)
I don't like that trend started by Animatrix and followed by Gotham Knight.
I don't think you mean "Chauvinistic"... prejudiced maybe, or racist even. I think Chauvinist only refers to an assumed superiority of one's own nation, not an irrational dislike of another culture. I would like to throw it out there though, that Japan is one of the most Chauvinist nations going, which makes your statement pleasingly ironic.
Also, I think Moviebob was fairly clear in his bias, it doesn't necessarily act as a detriment to a piece rooted so firmly in his personal opinion to begin with.
Personally, I agree with an anti-japan sentiment mostly, their entire culture scares the shit out of me. Then again, I don't hold my personal opinion to be the end all, be all. More than likely, I'm just too set in my western ways to "get it".
Anime certainly does contain different storytelling styles! But give genres some credit; many are quite broad. "Action" is a genre which encompasses everything from bare-knuckle beat-em-ups to balletic wire choreography. I'd go so far as to say that the nice thing about the word "genre" is that it can refer to something as specific as "German abstract impressionism" or as all-encompassing as "romance." It's just a way of finding connections between different works of art.
I guess the reason I bring this up is because it's unnecessary to set certain kinds of work apart and say "this is special and different; it warrants unique consideration." It's much more interesting to treat everything as interconnected, regardless of the quirks of style, story, geographic origin, and what-have-you.
Now that's not fair. I've been exposed to a LOT of this shit. I am a gamer after all. And it's not as though I haven't given anime a fair shake. Trigun, a couple Gundam series, and that weird World War one where all the countries are personified? DBZ, if that counts? The point is, I don't like it. And that's ok man. That's my whole point. Obviously someone likes it, and that's enough to justify its existence.
The fact that I hate it is completely irrelevant.
And I wholeheartedly agree. My point is that a lot of people think that just because something comes from Japan, it's going to be pedophilia or about giant robots (also apparently there are people that consider the latter a bad thing).
But those are all more or less the same genre, except Hetalia (which I can only wonder how you saw it). Try Tokyo Godfathers, Metropolis, Baccano, or Princess Mononoke.
I didn't expect a glowing review, since you don't like Halo. To each his own there.
But, honestly, have you been lighting up schoolgirl panties and smoking them? The West's preoccupation with preposterone is huge and unforgiving, but the idea that Japan is the hero of "everything else" is nauseatingly extreme.
Though I suppose "everything else" DOES include pedophiliac cartoon porn, uniformly heinous voice acting, and raising a generation of youth so obsessed with cosplaying that they forget to fuck and end up shrinking the national population.
My outrage strikes me as a bit ironic, since literally everything you liked or did not like about Halo Legends matches my objective opinion without exception. But I'm not going to ignore your decision to paint Japan as the champion of all thing cerebral while ignoring its glaring and unsettling faults, and highlighting your own culture's missteps while omitting its tremendous successes.
Such a small offhand comment on your part. Yet so loaded, and so telling. Maybe I haven't always agreed with you Mr. Chipman, but this is an opinion I can't even respect.
Roger Ebert, is that you?

Rice, edible starchy cereal grain and the plant by which it is produced. Roughly one-half of the world population, including virtually all of East and Southeast Asia, is wholly dependent upon rice as a staple food; 95 percent of the world's rice crop is eaten by humans.
The cultivated rice plant, Oryza sativa, is an annual grass of the Gramineae family. It grows to about 1.2 metres (4 feet) in height. The leaves are long and flattened, and its panicle, or inflorescence, is made up of spikelets bearing flowers that produce the fruit, or grain.
Many cultures have evidence of early rice cultivation, including China, India, and the civilizations of Southeast Asia. However, the earliest archaeological evidence comes from central and eastern China and dates to 7000–5000 bce. With the exception of the type called upland rice, the plant is grown on submerged land in the coastal plains, tidal deltas, and river basins of tropical, semitropical, and temperate regions. The seeds are sown in prepared beds, and when the seedlings are 25 to 50 days old, they are transplanted to a field, or paddy, that has been enclosed by levees and submerged under 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) of water, remaining submerged during the growing season.
The harvested rice kernel, known as paddy, or rough, rice, is enclosed by the hull, or husk. Milling usually removes both the hull and bran layers of the kernel, and a coating of glucose and talc is sometimes applied to give the kernel a glossy finish. Rice that is processed to remove only the husks, called brown rice, contains about 8 percent protein and small amounts of fats and is a source of thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, iron, and calcium. Rice that is milled to remove the bran as well is called white rice and is greatly diminished in nutrients. When white rice forms a major portion of the diet, there is a risk of beriberi, a disease resulting from a deficiency of thiamine and minerals. Parboiled white rice is processed before milling to retain most of the nutrients, and enriched rice has iron and B vitamins added to it. Rice is cooked by boiling. It is eaten alone and in a great variety of soups, side dishes, and main dishes in Oriental, Middle Eastern, and many other cuisines.
The by-products of milling, including bran and rice polish (finely powdered bran and starch resulting from polishing), are used as livestock feed. Oil is processed from the bran for both food and industrial uses. Broken rice is used in brewing, distilling, and in the manufacture of starch and rice flour. Hulls are used for fuel, packing material, industrial grinding, fertilizer manufacture, and in the manufacture of an industrial chemical called furfural. The straw is used for feed, livestock bedding, roof thatching, mats, garments, packing material, and broomstraws.
In the 1960s, the so-called Green Revolution, an international scientific effort to diminish the threat of world hunger, produced improved strains of numerous food crops, including that known as miracle rice. Bred for disease resistance and increased productivity, this variety is characterized by a short, sturdy stalk that minimizes loss from drooping. Poor soil conditions and other factors, however, inhibited its anticipated widespread success.
The principal rice-producing countries are China, India, Japan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Thailand, and Myanmar (Burma). Other important producers are Vietnam, Brazil, South Korea, the Philippines, and the United States. In the late 20th century the world rice crop averaged between 800 billion and 950 billion pounds annually and was cultivated on an average of about 358 million acres (145 million hectares). See also wild rice.

I started out with every intention of writing a stunningly funny and erudite essay to make a splash for my first post on the Romantic Journey site, Well, the best laid plans of mice and writers go aft awry, to misquote Robbie Burns (a nod to Burns' Night!) so you get this piece instead.
Sometimes I get very confused. Not just because I'm blonde, but because my writing life is split up into two different Realities.
Reality One: I write romantic suspense. Ok, so there are sometimes rather nasty, bloodthirsty scenes, but that's par for the course. You'd sort of expect it, right? But I also weave in a lot of humor into my work (I lived in Ireland for a few years; the humor sort of rubbed off) . Romance writing almost always has a happy ending, so that reality is all warm and fuzzy and Happy Ever After,
Reality Two: This is quite different. I write non-fiction books and ghostwritten biographies and novels. Hey, I was a journalist and this is a good way to pay the bills. But at any given time I may be translating a battered wife's memories of her brutally unhappy marriage; writing a dating manual for the unhappy and panicking lonesome souls; or using my training as a counselor to write about depression and its treatment. Soon, I may be plunged into researching and writing about Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, or rewriting a semi autobiographical novel a client has poured their heart and soul into.
Can you see what I mean about my two realities being confusing?
But if my working life is confusing, imagine the plight of the journalists who travel to foreign lands to cover wars and disasters. When I was a young journalist, my big ambition was to be a foreign correspondent. I thought it would be incredibly romantic and noble. Now I'm thankful my career path took a different turn.
But I have huge admiration for my journalist colleagues who regularly put their lives and sanity in jeopardy to look deep into the Abyss on our behalf and bring back the Truth that they find there.
Next time you hear or read reports about wars or disasters, about the terrible human suffering that plagues our planet, please send up a brief prayer for the dedicated professional writers who went out and gathered that information. Ask whatever Power you believe in to keep them safe so that we can continue to see, through their eyes, the truth.
Sometimes the writing I do leaves me sleepless. Yet I cannot imagine the sights and sounds that disturb their dreams.
I'd love to hear comments about your Realities and how you deal with the confusions that inevitably arise from the balancing acts of writing, earning a living, and Real Life!

Google Web Designer tool to make HTML5 on mobile a reality?
The industry does not need another mobile development platform, but instead, consolidation. Hopefully, Google Web Designer (GWD) will help consolidate the mobile industry on HTML5.
Not sure if you've heard the news, but Google is about to release a new HTML5/CSS3 web development tool. That's apparently the inside scoop, revealed with very little pomp and circumstance in Neal Mohan's official DoubleClick Advertiser blog. Don't ask what it will do, or what it will look like, or what features it will contain, because nobody who is allowed to speak on the matter definitively knows. But that doesn't mean we can't make up a bunch of stuff and prognosticate about things we don't know about.
Don't expect too much from the early versions of GWD, but do expect Google to keep improving it.
Bobby Kelly, Web Marketing Strategist
I don't have big expectations for this new tool. It's just going to be some simple, lightweight development tool that does a few neat things to help with HTML5 development on mobile devices. It will also undoubtedly make it easy to stick a bunch of Google ads into your mobile apps. Some help doing responsive design, like integration with scripting libraries like bootstrap.js would be nice. Or even an ability to use HTML5 flexible boxes to do responsive design, with an ability to degrade gracefully to a more globally supported JavaScript technology if the need arises would be slick too. Maybe even package a WYSIWYG editor into the mix to simplify the whole thing? Yeah, that's probably asking for far too much from a free IDE.
The incremental approach to feature delivery
I think Bobby Kelly, a web-marketing strategist with WebMarketingPro.ca, has it right when he says "Don't expect too much from the early versions of Google Web Designer." Of course, Kelly suspects that Google Web Designer will grow into something much more impressive with time. I, on the other hand, think it will wither and die like the vast majority of other failed projects Google embarks upon. Given, sometimes they hit one out of the park, like with Android or GWT, but more often than not, Google projects just wither and die.
For more on Bobby Kelly's take on Google Web Designer, take a look at his recently published article entitled: How Google Web Designer (GWD) plays a key role in Google's global marketing and advertising strategy.
Fixing the fragmentation fracas
What the industry really needs is a tool that gets people away from all of the various mobile device technologies, and gets the world's army of UI developers delivering content using standards based HTML5 and CSS3. This whole mess of having to develop different user interfaces for different handheld devices has gone on too long. Something needs to be done about it. Sadly, Google's focus will be more about pushing their AdClick revenue instead of doing something about Android fragmentation or the need for native application development. Still, a person can dream.
In one of my unusually optimistic moods, I put together a wish list of features that would make GWD a real leap forward in terms of HTML5 and CSS3 development. You get the full scoop in the following article entitled: Let's make the CSS3/HTML5 developers smile (The Google Web Designer GWD wish-list)
As I said before, the whole thing hasn't even been released yet, so at this point, everything is just speculation. Here's hoping that this IDE is a product that does more than just pad Google's bottom line, and is instead one that really makes a difference in terms of modern day, mobile and browser-based development.

text: The Christian-themed punk-pop outfit MxPx formed in 1993 in Bremerton, WA. Originally dubbed Magnified Plaid, the group launched while its three members -- vocalist/bassist Mike Herrera, drummer Yuri Ruley, and guitarist Andy Husted -- were still attending high school. The moniker was later shortened to MxPx after Ruley abbreviated the name on some show flyers; poor handwriting saw the periods being interpreted as x's instead, and the name stuck. Wielding an energetic sound that was inspired by the Descendents, NOFX, the group's own Christian faith, and California's skateboard culture, the band wasted little time attracting a local following. By the time Ruley and his bandmates received their driver's licenses, the trio had already released several 7" singles and a debut album, Pokinatcha, for Tooth & Nail Records in 1994. It quickly became the label's best-seller and prompted the release of the band's sophomore effort, Teenage Politics, late the next year. By this time, Husted had been replaced by guitarist Tom Wisniewski, and the group quickly followed the release of Teenage Politics with a short collection of cover songs entitled On the Cover. Popular with the skate/surf community as well as the punk underground (with a snowboard sponsorship to their name), MxPx ultimately broke out of the underground in 1996 with their classic third LP, Life in General. The album included such fan favorites as "Chick Magnet" and "Move to Bremerton." Though dubbed a Christian punk band, religious themes were never an overbearingly dominant force in the band's songs, as they usually relied on such universal themes as growing up. Furthermore, as MxPx progressed in their career, their songs gravitated toward the secular side of things even further. Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo, the band's debut for major label A&M, appeared in 1998. That fall, they also released the compilation album Let It Happen on their old Tooth & Nail label; the odds-and-sods collection contained B-sides, demos, and other stray tracks. The live recording At the Show showed MxPx's ability to re-create their spunky music in concert, and The Broken Bones EP appeared 2000 before their next full-length, The Ever Passing Moment, arrived in the spring. Another effort, The Renaissance EP, was followed two years later with the band's first greatest-hits release, Ten Years and Running. Their next official studio effort came in the form of 2003's Before Everything & After, an album that alienated some fans with its slick, pop-oriented nature. Late 2004 saw the release of a career retrospective DVD, B-Movie, and the guys passed the following summer by returning to the Vans Warped Tour. MxPx then returned to form (and back to the indie leagues) with their seventh studio album, Panic, which surfaced in June 2005 on the Side One Dummy label. MxPx spent summer 2006 on the road with ska-punkers Reel Big Fish before dropping their next record, Let's Rock, that October. Let's Rock was comprised of previously unreleased tracks from recording sessions dating back to 2000. The next month, Tooth & Nail reissued a deluxe version of MxPx's 1998 rarities compilation Let It Happen, including a bonus DVD and several unreleased songs. MxPx then confirmed in early 2007 that they had re-signed with Tooth & Nail with the intention of releasing their new album that summer, and release it they did, with Secret Weapon hitting stores in the middle of that year. They remained on the roster for the 2009 release of On the Cover II, another covers album that paid tribute to the band's early days while showing appreciation for the likes of the Clash, Ramones, and the Go-Go's. Late that year, MxPx issued the EP Left Coast Punk on their own label, Rock City Recording Company; for the holidays, they issued Punk Rawk Christmas digitally and in several limited-edition packages. MxPx marked their 20th anniversary with ninth studio album Plans Within Plans, which arrived in spring 2012 for the Rock City label. ~ John Bush & Corey Apar

Sub tropical storm Andrea was named yesterday (wed. may 9) afternoon, and has since been downgraded to a tropical depression.

Tipster Glenn T. just sent in this link to what's described as "nearly 150 students burst(ing) into seemingly spontaneous song and dance" during Texas A&M Foundation's annual Legacy Society Gala at the Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium.
For context, the Legacy Society "recognizes Texas A&M's most generous benefactors: individuals, corporations and organizations whose cumulative, current giving totals $100,000 or more, and also individuals who plan to make future gifts through their estates. Membership results from giving through any of four A&M entities: the Texas A&M Foundation, The Association of Former Students, the 12th Man Foundation and the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation."
As of this writing, spoil-sport OptimusZ has the top YouTube comment with, "Please take this video down. I know that this was probably 'cool' while performing it but it really looks bad on video. Please, for all Aggies, take this down. I don't care how many friends said it was good, it's not. Trust me."
Good luck to dear old Texas Aggies. They are the boys who show the real old fight. The eyes of Texas are upon you.

I thought some of you would like an update on a sort of miracle in the family. Some old photos have surfaced in March and April of 2010 some of you will probably be very interested in. (I republished this page because the links have all changed, so I just uploaded the pictures to avoid the link changes again.) I also replaced the photos with fresh scans of the photos in February 2011. If you downloaded the photos, you may want to download the newer scans.
Ethel Sharp was born in 1898 in Plain City, Utah to Milo Riley and Mary Ann Stoker Sharp. Here is a photo of Ethel we found.
You can click on the photos for a closer look.
Another photo of Ethel and another friend, Gertrude Terry. Ethel is on the right.
Another photo of Ethel and a cousin, Richard Thomas Stoker.
Many of you are probably aware that Ethel Sharp was injured on the old electric train that went from Plain City in to Ogden. After recuperating she took her insurance money, moved to Paul, Idaho, and opened a confectionery. Here are two photos that recently surfaced of that little store in Paul, Idaho. Obviously construction is not completed in this photo but the store was still open for business.
We don't know the exact time frame when she purchased the confectionery, but some of the old checks, order sheets, and other paperwork call it the Streeter Confectionery. We don't know the location of this store, if she built it, or what happened to it afterward.
We do assume that she opened it while married to Mark Lewis Streeter who she married 7 May 1917 in Ogden, Utah. We don't know the exact date of the train wreck yet, but while in Paul she gave birth to a daughter 4 June 1918 named June Streeter. Mark and Ethel couldn't make things work and were divorced. She remarried to Jack (John William) Ross 12 Jan 1920 at Fort Logan in Colorado. Here is a photo of Jack and Ethel holding little June Streeter.
I have written more about Jack and Ethel at this link: Ross-Sharp Wedding.
4 Feb 1921, Milo James Ross was born in Plain City.
14 Feb 1922, Paul Ross was born in Paul, Idaho. 7 Nov 1923, John Harold Ross (Harold) was born in Burley, Idaho.
This is probably one of the last photos of Ethel Sharp Ross with baby Harold.
Here are some new photos of June, Milo, Paul, and Harold. The first seems to be about 1925 and the later two around 1926 or 1927.
Ethel died of blood poisoning at 600 Cross Street in Ogden, Utah on 6 Aug 1925 after giving birth to Ernest Jackson on 16 Jul 1925 (he died 20 Sep 1925). We don't know why the family was in Plain City when she gave birth and passed away. However, some time after the funeral Jack loaded up the children and took them to Rupert, Idaho to be with his parents for a time. We don't know where he went (find work, find a mother, who knows?). However, after some time, we don't know exactly how long, Jack's parents could not take care of the 4 children anymore and asked the Sharp Family to come get them.
Os Richardson drove up to pick them up. Eventually, June was raised by her Streeter grandparents; Milo was raised by Uncle Ed Sharp; Paul was raised by Aunt Vic Hunt; and Harold by Uncle Del Sharp.
Here is a picture of a bunch of Sharp cousins in a wagon in Plain City.
And another photo of Paul (R) and Harold (L).
Paul would die after falling out of a barn in 1932 just over 10 years old.
Now comes the story from the new photographs. For reasons we do not know, the Sharp family did not like Jack Ross. They did not allow him to visit his children. All the mail received by any of the Sharp family for the Ross children was kept from them. When Ethel's mother (Mary Ann aka Lillie M Sharp) passed away, a photo album given to her passed to Vic Hunt. Vic Hunt kept in her possession all the letters mailed from Jack Ross to the Ross boys as well as the photo album from which these photos come. The photos and letters then passed to Vic Hunt's son, Harold Hunt. When Harold passed away in 2002, these passed to Harold's nephew, Archie Hunt. Archie just went through some of the stuff and found these items about March 2010 and gave them to Grandpa Milo Ross.
Milo James Ross went to visit Jack Ross in 1948 after receiving a telegram that Jack was dying in Livermore, California. Jack mentioned to Grandpa that he had written after the boys went back to Utah, but Grandpa didn't believe him. Here we are, 70-80 years after the letters were written, and almost 90 years since some of the photos were taken. Jack was vindicated to his own son 62 years later! It was the first time Grandpa had seen the photos and letters he did not know existed. How is that for a sort of miracle? I hope at some point I can type up the letters and also make them available on here. I know some of Grandpa's family will have seen the photos, but know extended family will be interested in this find as well.
If anyone else has photos they would like to share, please let me know. If you can fill any of the story, please let me know.
Oh, Grandpa finally answered one question he had when he visited his father in 1948. One day working in the fields at Ed Sharp's house as a kid, he saw a car at the end of the field. The occupants did not leave the car but he could see a man watching him from the back window. The car left and not until 1948 was it revealed to him that it was his own father looking at him across the field that day. I can only guess what is going through Grandpa's heart and mind as he reconciles his understanding of his own history in these letters.

What is the place of nonprofit communications in the wake of disaster, particularly when this most recent crisis of epic proportions—the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami disasters in Japan—is rightly dominating our minds and conversations, as well as the media?
For a nonprofit, the answer lies in the way (if any) your organization is involved in the relief effort. The following guidelines derive from an analysis of news of, and fundraising for, recovery efforts around the Japanese earthquake and Pacific tsunami disasters. Note that relief donations are far below those for the Haitian earthquake relief effort, and some groups are questioning whether Japanese relief giving is beneficial or necessary.
It's likely that your nonprofit is facing one or more of these challenges right now. Read the full article for more practical guidance on how to move your marketing forward, despite the troubled times.
For organizations providing disaster relief services in Japan
- Make it clear why your organization is well-equipped to help. Be as specific as possible.
- Communicate broadly, clearly and visually (if possible) about how donations are managed, where they are going and what your organization's relief effort is achieving.
For organizations fundraising for relief efforts, but not directly providing help
- Be proactive and specific in conveying the process for distributing donations and where/how/when the money will be spent.
- Explain why your organization has chosen to get involved as a pass through for donations.
- Be sensitive to inappropriate pitches.
- Relate your work to relief work when relevant—but don't distort or overstate.

"Big Big Love is a ginormous blessing to people everywhere. Not only is it a superb sex manual, it's positively radical, fun to read, and life affirming—big time. We know that "people of size" enjoy sex as much as anyone, but to talk about it so frankly, to show it, and give explicit details about the ins and outs of it, is as transgressive as it gets in our culture of "thin is sexy." This book is well worth its weight in gold."
—Annie Sprinkle, PhD, Ecosex Educator, Sexologist
"Part of enjoying sex is being comfortable with your body. Big Big Love dispels myths related to fat sexuality and helps people learn to take pleasure in their bodies, regardless of size."
—Bruce Sturgell, Founder, Chubstr.com
"Fat people have sex—and thanks to Hanne Blank's updated and unabashedly unashamed guide to sex and relationships, fat people can have better, more satisfying sex. This book is vitally important for anyone who shops in the plus-size department. Thanks to Hanne, we're all a little luckier when it comes to getting lucky."

Grimm Switzerland
Grimm Switzerland
Turning bucolic Switzerland into a dark, mythological landscape has often struck me as a little impolite. After all, my Swiss grandmother taught me to sing goofy, patriotic folk songs while hiking the mountains, and to think of this beautiful country with simple, upbeat pride. Maybe that's why I've generally shied away from photographing my motherland with black and white film, which easily turns any subject into something dark and foreboding.
But it wasn't so long ago that Switzerland, like much of rural Europe, was in fact poor, dark, and, mythological — a far cry from the affluent and pristine country we know today. Until Rousseau and then the Romantics rehabilitated their reputation, the Swiss alps were viewed as a hellish landscape inhabited by demons. In the high mountains, where villages were cut off from the lower valleys for months at a time during the winter (see the terrific Swiss movie "Alpine Fire"), farmers kept totemic masks made from gnarled branches and cow's teeth over their doors to ward off the evil spirits that visited their homes during fierce winter storms. There are any number of traditional Swiss festivals that still include frightening monsters and ancient mythologies (see Carsten Peter's photography book, "Alpendämonen," or "Demons of the Alps"). This was not just culture as entertainment — this was a response to the fears of everyday living, to the spirits howling in every gust of wind.
Mary Shelly famously wrote Frankenstein on the shores of lake Geneva, drawing inspiration for the dark novel from her experience in the nearby mountains. Wind and rain, thunder and lightning, and barren, rocky glaciers provide the dramatic landscape for a story of confrontation between man and monster.
Even Tolkien, who traveled to Switzerland in 1911 on a wave of British tourism that began with the Romantics, found inspiration in the Swiss Alps for his mythological Middle Earth. He explored Wengen and Grindelwald — just across the deep Lauterbrunnen valley from Gimmelwald (see my photos) and was so taken with the region that, according to at least one author, some of the names that populate Middle Earth have their beginnings in this landscape.
My friend Erika suggested these black and white images of Switzerland are kind of Grimm's fairy tales meets the Blair Witch Project. I've never had the stomach for horror movies so I can't speak to the Blair Witch comparison, but I like the Brothers Grimm association. Scratch the surface of any bucolic Swiss landscape and you find all the dark woods, evil stepmothers, witches, wolves, and trolls you could hope for.

Great Article! I didn't know about Tolkien's inspiration. Also the indigenous nature spirit masks and rituals, most interesting! Beautiful photograph!Erin on Dec 17, 2013
Your photo is beautiful. Thank your for some fascinating background on the dark mythology of the alps. I saw a photo of a Alpendämonen on a German National geographic cover and so far this is the most information I've been able to find in English. Thank you!Andy Marino on Dec 19, 2012
Thanks so much for the wonderful history lesson. I had no idea Tolkien drew from his experiences in the Alps to write create middle earth as the setting for LOTRs. Makes perfect sense after reading your piece.
Great Photos! Brings out the "mystery" in the mountains!

This rule allows a member to request to file separately from
the combined taxpayer group if the group member agrees to
certain conditions. This rule is now final and
effective. Please direct any questions to the Commercial
Activity Tax Division of the Ohio Department of Taxation at
Rule 5703-29-08 Request for member of a combined
taxpayer group to file separately.
(A) This rule provides the procedure that a member of a
combined taxpayer group under section 5751.012 of the Revised
Code must follow to file as a separate taxpayer and not as
part of the combined group.
(B)(1) A member that is not the primary taxpayer of a
combined taxpayer group, together with the primary taxpayer
of the group, may contact the tax commissioner and request
approval that the member be allowed to file separately from
the group. For the member to file separately, the
member and the primary taxpayer must agree to all of the
(a) The member will not claim any of the group's exclusion of
one million dollars for calendar year taxpayers or two
hundred fifty thousand dollars for calendar quarter
taxpayers, and is not entitled to claim any exclusion of the
member's taxable gross receipts on its own behalf.
(b) The member will file as a separate taxpayer and will be
subject to the applicable tax rate on all of the member's
taxable gross receipts without any exclusion. For example,
for the semiannual period July 1, 2005 through December 31,
2005, if a member had thirty thousand dollars of taxable
gross receipts, the tax would be eighteen dollars, the rate
of six one-hundredths percent times the entire thirty
thousand dollars of taxable gross receipts.
(c) The member is financially sound and currently able to pay
the commercial activity tax and other obligations as
determined by the commissioner.
(d) The member remains jointly and severally liable for the
group's tax liability.
(2) The commissioner shall provide a copy of the
commissioner's written denial or approval to both the member
requesting to file separately and to the primary taxpayer of
the combined group. If approved, the separate filing
shall start at the beginning of the next tax period for the
combined taxpayer, absent special approval to the
contrary. The commissioner, upon request, may grant
special approval for the separate filing to begin with the
current tax period.
(3) The commissioner may prescribe a form to apply to file
separately from the group as provided by this rule.
(C) The tax commissioner may revoke separate filing approval
at any time.

West Fork area of Christian County, KY
(For background, please read the posts that are labeled "Barkers Mill.")
Glenburnie, the home of Chiles T. Barker, prominent landowner in the West Fork area during the 19th century, and his wife, Mary Louise Hutchinson Barker, is still standing.
Glenburnie is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. According to Hopkinsville & Christian County Historic Sites by Kenneth Turney Gibbs and Carolyn Torma, it was constructed in about 1820 (when Chiles was about 4 years old). The name of the builder and original owner is not given.
Glenburnie is a brick house. Gibbs and Torma say it is one of the best example of Federal style architecture in Christian county. They also report that the woodwork in the house is exceptionally fine and very well preserved.
I believe Glenburnie is the house that is barely visible at the end of the road in the photo below. Carneal Lane turns into a private lane at the point where I stopped and snapped the picture. I didn't go any farther down the road because I respect private property. However, I would have loved to see Glenburnie a bit closer.
The large old home in the photo below is also in the area of Barker's Mill. I don't recognize this house in Hopkinsville & Christian County Historic Sites, but it still has its history -- a history that I am curious about.
The photo above was taken in April, so there are fewer leaves on the trees. This home is near the Chapel Hill Church. I believe it is the Massie House, which is pictured in Hopkinsville & Christian County Historic Sites. The Massie House was built in 1878 and is said to be "a typical Greek Revival I-house of the mid-nineteenth century."
The Chapel Hill Church and Cemetery are just to the right of this photo. The large trees are on the edge of the church grounds. This is a remote-controlled gate with a TV camera. Down the road at left is a log house, and beyond that, a large home. I don't know if it is one of the historic homes listed in Hopkinsville & Christian County Historic Sites.

The kitchen is an integral part of any Indian house, a place which is the source of our day long energy. To enhance the aura of the kitchen the science of Vastu cannot be overlooked.
Every little appliance that you place in your kitchen has some or the other importance and if it is placed according to the Vastu, positive vibes are sure to prevail.
The doors, windows, gas cylinder, gadgets, refrigerator, as well as the sink, all of it should be placed in accordance to Vastu, but not all of us have the idea of what is that exact placement.
To help you make some small yet significant changes while maintaining the decor in your house, here we have a brief guide for you:
The gas stove should be placed in the southeast corner of the kitchen. Being the fire element in the kitchen, it should be in the corner where the lord of fire exists.
Cook to face only towards the East, hence, your gas stove should be placed towards the east. It is said that if the chef of the house faces west, while cooking, it can lead to severe health issues.
And facing south may lead to financial problems. Also, you have to ensure that there should not be any closet or shelve right above the gas as this is the place for the chimney. You can follow this kitchen's design for a better placement.
According to Vastu, the lord of fire, Agni prevails in the southeast direction of the home, which means the ideal placement of kitchen is in the southeast direction of your house.
If you can't find a suitable space in the southeast direction, the northwest direction will work just as well.
For refrigerators, there are four suitable directions, southeast, west, south or north direction. One direction, you should surely avoid is the northeast. In case, you have found a suitable space in the southwest direction, keep it a feet away from the corner to bring good fortune to your house.
Vastu says that there should be at least one or two windows in the kitchen. Large or small, the kitchen window should always face east. For ventilators, you can count on the southern direction of the house. As for Vastu, the more ventilated your kitchen is, the better it is. Just like the huge windows facing outwards in this room.
Storage is an important part of the kitchen as we need to store food, grains, as well as utensils without creating any mess. The storage cupboards are better fitted to the southern and western wall of the kitchen. Avoid placing them in the north and east walls. A clutter free arrangement is preferred the most in this case, just like the kitchen here.
Water bottle, filters, or any related vessels are the water element of the house and for this, there cannot be a better place than the north-east side.
Vibrant colors are preferred more when it comes to the wall of the kitchen. Go for vibrant colors like rose, yellow, green, red, orange, and chocolate brown. Even the vibrant colors of this kitchen are appreciable and the kitchen planners have definitely nailed it.
A modern kitchen is said to be incomplete without electronic appliances and there is so much to place like ovens, heaters, and microwaves. As all these appliances are somewhere related to light and fire, they should be cornered in the east-south direction. Just like the other elements of the kitchen, here also you should avoid the north-east direction.

Striving together for climate justice
Climate justice requires sustainable, local solutions that allow a good life for all. At the same time, climate justice means assuming responsibility together – fairness and sustainability instead of injustice and exploitation. We need to acknowledge existing global relationships and interdependencies as per the principle of joint but differentiated responsibility with a focus on achieving on equitable systemic change. A sustainable transformation must be based on cooperation of all actors.
Climate Alliance facilitates global partnerships as one way of shouldering global responsibility. Additionally, Climate Alliance members have the opportunity to actively shape the transformation of our world through both long-term projects and ad hoc support. The result is long-lasting partnerships and mutual learning effects from which both sides can benefit.

Home care providers and home health care providers are a unique breed. While training is needed to meet job requirements, home health care providers must also possess other innate qualities that enable them to compassionately perform job functions, as per patient wishes and the wishes of their families. These special qualities are what make all the difference between average home care providers and excellent senior care providers. This article examines caregiver characteristics that are necessary for providing invaluable services within homes and communities everywhere.
Senior home health care providers must be able to perform all of the following job functions, including:
Assisting clients, seniors, and care recipients with daily living activities.
Preparing meals for clients.
Any necessary assistance with ambulation.
Light housekeeping tasks, cleaning, laundry, trash removal, tidying up.
Attending to all safety needs, ensuring a safe environment for patients and care recipients.
Effective and compassionate communication with patients, family, coworkers, and all interested parties.
Confidentiality, as per the wishes of family and patients.
Understanding and following through on all requirements for the care of the patient or senior loved one, including special needs and patient wishes.
Beyond those basic functions and responsibilities lie the real substance of a home health care provider's role; that of the compassionate personal attendant. Caregivers must go beyond handling the needs of care recipients and responding appropriately to certain job situations, but demonstrate compassion, love, caring, and thoughtfulness. When those qualities are present, you'll know you have a caregiver who not only loves their job, but love those they provide care for. Caregivers, home health care providers, and senior caregivers are dedicated individuals who have a passion for helping people, and are selfless in their desire to improve the quality of life for senior loved ones. Home health care providers work as facilitators to achieve a better quality of life for elders in need of support.
Other characteristics of exceptional home care providers include:
Commitment and dedication. Families and elderly individuals in need of home care should rely on workers to be available when needed, honor their commitments, and carry out all job related responsibilities in a highly professional manner. When a family chooses to bring a home health care provider into their environment, the caregiver should be respectful of the situation, as well as any hardships the family or patient faces on an everyday basis.
Creativity. Great home care providers are always thinking of new activities and ideas to introduce to clients, designed to better their quality of life or improve a situation, helping them gain comfort and independence. Additionally, they should focus on creating new ways elderly individuals can carry out tasks and learn new skills.
Judgment. Home health caregivers should always exercise good judgment, and maintain confidentiality, but not when a patient or client is in danger.
Senior home care providers find their careers very rewarding, and perform invaluable services in homes and communities everywhere. A home health care provider with willingness to help elderly patients and loved ones in need and a caregiving individual who chooses to make themselves available as relief for families is invaluable.
Home care is an excellent option for seniors who wish to continue living in their community and home to feel secure, despite difficulties they may be experiencing. Home care and assisted living care providers work with you and your loved one to create a specially tailored plan to meet the personalized needs and services required—and this plan can be adjusted at any point in time to ensure the proper care is provided, as conditions can change. Learn more about home health care services and find out if that type of support would benefit your loved one and improve their safety, health, and well being.

Villa Properties
I have started my own real estate company. The company is based in San Jose CA but we service the entier bay area and also the central valley. Our main goal is to provide the best possible service to our clients while maintaining the highest level of honesty and integrity. We care about what we do, and we care about our clients. We know that trust is one of the biggest issues for people when buying or selling their home, and we will make sure that all of our clients feel that sense of trust, and know that they can count on us to be the best.
Anyone interested in purchasing or selling real estate.
I am looking for a simple design preferably with the initials VP as the main focus of the graphic along with our name underneath it. The graphic should incorporate some kind of reference to home ownership. Eg: picture of a house, outline of a house. I have attached a very poorly created logo of my own (Now you can see why i am doing this!) to give you an idea of what i am thinking about. I want it to look professional, have strength and stand out. I also like the fact that VP eludes to the idea of VIP. It does not need a ton of different colors one or two is fine (i prefer blue) That being said these are just guidelines, I am not set on this so please feel free to be creative and take it in any direction you would like. As long at it looks professional and grabs my attention then we are on the right track. Thank you very much for your help.

Video: Sony NEX E-Mount Cameras
Sony's NEX cameras combine a large, DSLR-sized image sensor with a small body to give you an interchangeable-lens system that pumps out great images. Its small form factor makes it easy to carry, and an ever-growing family of lenses will help you capture your creative vision.
Read video transcript
Zak: I'm at the Sony booth at CES 2013 and Eldean, tell us why would somebody want to get into the Sony Alpha system.
Eldean: So, you know, we have two lines in the Alpha system. We have our, what we call our A-Mount cameras, and our E-Mount cameras. And there's a little difference between those two, but I'm going to start on the E-Mount because this is something that is really, really taking off. What makes the E-Mount cameras, or the Alpha NEX cameras, so exciting is that they have a very small flange back distance.
Now, there's a couple of things here. One, as you'll see, it has a full APS-C size sensor. Now this is the sensor size that's used probably on 95% of DSLRs on the market. So you're going to get exactly the same quality out of this camera as you are gonna get out of a regular size DSLR camera. Now because it has no mirror, it can make the camera extremely small. It makes it really easy to use so for somebody first, you know, stepping into the SLR market it's a really great camera.
But in addition to that, somebody who already owns a DSLR or maybe a working pro who would have a full-frame camera doesn't want to carry it with him all the time, but they insist on the best image quality.this again fits that need for the person who wants the best second camera that they can go out and shoot with.
So besides the large sensor — a large sensor gives you great color, great gradation — but it also gives you great control over depth of field, and also phenomenal low-light performance. Now with this flange back distance being so small, if you are already invested in a system, and we see people, everybody from, you know, Sony users, Minolta users, which, you know, we obviously, we took over Minolta many years ago in the camera division, but all the way up to Leica users who are taking really expensive, you know, eight- and ten-thousand dollar lenses and putting it onto the NEX system with a simple adapter. Now we can do that because this flange back distance is so far back. So an ultra-versatile camera that literally gives you limitless possibilities in terms of lens selection and choice.
Zak: Great. Thank you so much.

DJ Rollin Deep
This design project is for one of my clients who is an aspiring Mixtape DJ. The logo to be designed will be displayed on many different avenues: his website, promotional material, Mixtape and album covers, social media profiles, and many other places.
Clarification on the term Mixtape: for those who don't know, Mixtapes are CD's used in music as a promotional tool for new or already established musical artists. Mixtapes are usually free and contain music that will not be released on a regular studio album that will be sold in stores. These Mixtapes are usually hosted by DJs who are essentially co-signers of the CD. Musical artists are usually inclined to have their Mixtape "co-signed" by a DJ because the DJ's are well-known to the public.
The audience here is consumers of mixtapes. Mixtape consumers tend to be young (under 25), fans of hip-hop culture, essentially urban america.
DJ Rollin Deep's nickname is "The 5-Star Mixtape General" so the logo can easily reflect that by employing an army or military styled theme. I feel that military style themes tend to be dark, but don't let that tie you down to staying with a darker theme. While I am interested to see dark designs, I am equally interested in seeing colored designs as well. Also please keep in mind an army/military style is not final so feel free to use a different theme if a good idea pops up in your head. We are very open minded.
The nickname doesn't necessarily have to be included in the logo, but it would be interesting to see how it can be incorporated - perhaps by having 5 prominent stars. The entire phrase doesn't necessarily have to be included.
I have attached the logo of a fellow mixtape DJ who goes by the name "DJ Smallz." This should give you a good idea since logo's for mixtape DJ's are rare. Notice it doesn't have to be formatted like most company's will have their logo (horizontal rectangles.)
I have also attached a few army/military examples in case they can help you get the creative ideas flowing or serve as inspiration. Again, these are in no way intended to tie designers down to look like these designs.
Thank you all for taking time to read this project :) Good luck if you choose to participate. We will respond to each and every entry (promise.)

Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'N' Roll: The Sundance 2013 Documentaries You Absolutely Must See
It's sort of ironic that the documentaries are the stars of the Sundance Film Festival but, because there are no real stars in them, they usually go ignored by the public at large. Here is a round up of some of the best that we saw during this year's festival. They probably won't be coming to a theater near you, but all of them are worth hunting down. Here are our picks for the ones you have to watch out for:
Twenty Feet from Stardom: Back Up Singers Finally Get the Spotlight
We all know the oohs and aahs that accompany our favorite songs, but most of us don't give a second thought to the background vocalists who provided them. Finally legends like Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, and Lisa Fischer get their due for adding all the flavor on every song from "Gimme Shelter" to "The Monster Mash," and naturally interviews with stars like Mick Jagger and Sting abound. But really this is a brooding take on talent, fame, and the desire to use one to get to the other. Each of their stories is one of struggle, but when they finally get to sing, everything else just falls away. This is a heart-rending crowd pleaser that every music fan should see. – Brian Moylan
After Tiller: Taking the Abortion Debate to a Whole New Level
In 2009, Dr. George Tiller was shot twice in the chest while attending church. Tiller was the leading advocate for third-trimester abortions, a highly protested practice that only a few people in the country — all of whom studied under the late doctor — dare to practice. After Tiller follows these men and women, who struggle with deciding which patients to bring on all while knowing they could be murdered just like their mentor. The documentary thoroughly examines the moral complexity of third-trimester abortions and paints subjects as possessing a unique type of bravery. At screenings, Sundance added extra security after receiving threats from protests groups. This is not an issue that lives only on the movie screen. – Matt Patches
The Summit: A Horrifying Climbing Documentary Comes Out on Top
It's not very often that a documentary makes you so unsettled that you feel like you're not going to be able to make it through to the end, but hat is just what happens in this Irish documentary about the most deadly expedition to climb K2, the world's second tallest mountain. Told with original footage and recreation, the scenes of people falling off the mountain and surviving avalanches is enough to give you vertigo, and the stories of human loss and survival will take an even bigger toll. – Moylan
Valentine Road: A School Slaying Guaranteed to Break Your Heart
Many people know the story of Larry King, the eighth grader who was shot by a classmate for being gay and wearing women's clothing to school. This documentary looks at Larry's life and the life of his killer, Brandon McInerney, as well as their teachers, classmates, lawyers, families, and friends to get a complete picture of what caused the murder and the toll it took on everyone involved. It's the sort of story that will make you cry from start to finish and question everything you thought you knew about justice. – Moylan
Dirty Wars: What Is Our Military Really Up To?
When President Obama announced that we had taken out Osama bin Laden, the Joint Special Operations Command became a well known military entity, praised for their contribution to the War on Terror. Before that, JSOC carried out covert assassinations and drone strikes against world citizens deemed "potentially dangerous." Dirty Wars puts investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill on a high pedestal as he traverses the world, uncovering JSOC's shrouded operations, but only because the facts he finds are so shocking. The documentary doesn't hesitate to point fingers at Obama and military figureheads in its damning examination our loose, post-9/11 rules of doing business in the Middle East. – Patches
The World According to Dick Cheney: Feeling a Little Bad for George H.W. Bush
After his eight-year run as Vice President of the United States alongside Bush Jr., even Dick Cheney's supporters were distancing themselves from the legendary politco. Through a biting one-on-one interview with the former VP, Director R.J. Cutler (The September Issue) constructs a comprehensive talking heads biography that reveals the ups and downs of Cheney's career. From alcoholism to beting booted from Yale to his amazing recruitment into the offices of Nixon and Gerald Ford, Cutler's The World According to Dick Cheney reveals the ambitious, cunning side of Cheney that helped him rise to the top and become the most influential ear-whisperer of the 21st century. Wherever you stand on the two-terms of Bush/Cheney, your opinions will be complicated by Cutler's informative doc. – Patches
Sound City: Dave Grohl's Rock Doc Makes Lots of Noise
Anyone who is anyone with a guitar and a drum kit recorded at Sound City, a famous recording studio on the outskirts of LA. Everyone from Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks to Nirvana and Rick Springfield. This is the story of the studio's rise and eventual closing which is a fascinating slice of rock history. The last act slows down considerably as direct Dave Grohl (of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, you idiot) talks about saving the recording equipment from the studio and getting together Trent Reznor, Paul McCartney, Nicks, and others to record new songs on the old technology. – Moylan
Stories We Tell: A Heartbreaking Family Saga Like Nothing You've Ever Seen
There isn't really a category for director Sarah Polley's story of her family. Five years in the making, she interviewed her siblings and father about her mother's death from cancer when she was only 10 years old. It seems like it would be some awful narcissistic exploration, but thanks to the secrets her mother left behind, which are deftly revealed to the audience, it's a nail biter about the lies we tell to each other and the stories we tell that shape who we are.
Life According to Sam: A Real Life 'Jack' Won't Let Disease Keep Him Down
Out of the entire world population, approximately 250 people have Progeria. The disease accelerates aging, turning normal 14-year-old kids into 74-year-olds. There is no cure or even a treatment. When Leslie and Scott Berns discovered their son Sam had Progeria, they turned to doctors for help. The medical world came back empty handed. Instead of waiting for their child to die, the two sprung into action, starting the first research and testing initiative to find answers for Progeria. HBO's Life According to Sam manages to inspire in two distinct ways: Leslie's on-going quest to save both her son and the Progeria patients around the world through FDA approved drugs, and Sam's own existence, a battle to ignore his disease and live a normal middle schooler life. Both story lines will bring tears (of joy) to your eyes. – Patches
Who Is Dayani Crystal?: Humanizing America's Immigration Problem
The answer to the question of the title is revealed pretty quickly as co-director Gael García Bernal reenacts the journey that a Hondouran immigrant made through the Arizona desert to try to make it to the U.S. This is spliced together with the American authorities trying to determine the indentity of his body after it is found under a tree in the desert and his family remembering his life and his desire to get to America to make money from his family. Scattered and slow and not quite sure what it wants to be, the documentary sets out to put a face to the immigrants that come to this country and it achieves that goal spectacularly. – Moylan
99%: The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film: They're Not So Aimless After All
We went in depth to the riveting, crowdsourced documentary earlier this week, but the film's shocking imagery and call-to-arms message continues to haunt our memories. Interviewing everyone from OWS members to political analysts to struggling citizens of the United States completely removed from the protest movement, 99% digs to deep to find the true message of Occupy and put naysayers to rest. – Patches
Pussy Riot – A Punk Prayer: Russia's Most Famous Band Goes on Trial
Anyone who followed the story of Pussy Riot, the Russian feminist activist punk band that was imprisoned for performing in a Moscow church, will know just about everything already in this film. While it delves into the case and the fascinating politics that spurned it more deeply than the average news article, it doesn't offer any synthesis or observation beyond the factual. It's a good story but this documentary doesn't quite achieve greatness. – MoylanKink: A Walk on Porn's Wild Side
If you don't know what it is, don't go searching Kink.com right now. Wait until you're alone or at a computer where no one will mind that you're looking at porn. This look inside the world's leading purveyor of dominant/submissive and sadio/masochistic porn is sexually graphic, but is at its best when it's showing you that it is an average work place just like any other, but with a bunch of absurd problems that no one else would experience at their jobs. It's about 30 minutes too long (and only a 90 minute film) but if it were trimmed down for HBO (after midnight, of course) it would be a thrilling and titillating slice of life that many are curious about but few get to see. – Moylan

About Us
Transition 101
Transition Towns
Knowledge Hub
It was at my suggestion that our Transition Book Group read The Long Descent: A User's Guide to the End of the Industrial Age, by John Michael Greer. Known online for his blog the Archdruid Report (he is a high priest of the Druid Order) Greer belongs to a small group of thinkers that I would call "collapse-theorists" (others might say "doomers"), who dare to describe the future of energy descent, the massive crises of the economy, climate and peak oil. All of the material we read in the book group is difficult. Jokes are made about who we are sending our therapy bills to each month as we gather. Something about Greer proved extra-challenging, and although we all liked the book as much or more than anything else we have read, it brought up the unique grief of contemplating a grim future.
Though gentler, and more rational than many writers of his genre, Greer has a knack for formulating the truth in ways that are hard to dispute.
"Some people in debates about the future of industrial society have argued that attempting to cushion the decline instead of preventing it is morally wrong because this way of approaching our predicament accepts the unacceptable. This sort of thinking is understandable, but it misses the central point at issue. We don't necessarily have a choice about what we have to accept."
Greer and his colleagues are iconoclastic, private, quirky. They do not write for major publications, and they do not appear to mind. Dmitry Orlov lives on a sailboat, expecting to be safer there in the coming crash. Chris Martenson has a one-year stockpile of food on hand. Sharon Astyk practices, and advocates, subsistence farming. (You can find all of them, periodically, on the fantastic blog Energy Bulletin.)
I find their voices are powerful because they are uncompromising. Many pundits, academic and journalists approach the climate and peak oil crises offering policy solutions, or alternative energy ROIs. They have all their factual ducks in a row; their work perfectly researched and rife with citations. The sheer abundance of such books can be tiring, because all the solutions offered presume political and social will to change and address the crisis. The collapse-theorists tend to focus the readers' attention more on the scenarios that are actually unfolding. They differ in their tendencies to advocate solutions, but even when they do prescribe, the solutions are basic, often small: simplify, prepare, plant, scale back and skill up.
To read these writers and take them seriously is to admit that the culture is not with us, that although solutions exists, they are smothered by widespread denial. Therefore we work in darkness and we struggle with those forces of denial--sometimes in the form of our own friends and family.
No matter how hard it is to hear, there is a comfort in recognizing a vision of future that seems real. But right now the truth is very hard. So much so, that I think many activists also practice distraction and some lesser forms of denial, rather than risk breakdown.
"There is no brighter future ahead," John Michael Greer intones regularly on his blog, as a sort of mantra. He is referring to the "myth of progress" that drives our manic culture. Greer wants us to understand that this story will consistently fail to meet our needs in a time of grave crisis. The story of our survival is a different one, not found in the consumerist culture, but present in these odd, brave voices, if we choose to listen to them.

Performance of an air motor is dependent on the inlet pressure.
At a constant inlet pressure, air motors exhibit the characteristic linear output torque/ speed relationship. However, by simply regulating the air supply, using the techniques of throttling or pressure regulation, the output of an air motor can easily be modified. One of the features with air motors is that they can operate over the complete torque curve from free speed to standstill without any harm to the motor. The free speed* or idling speed is defined as the operating speed where there is no load on the output shaft.
*Free Speed = speed at which the outgoing shaft rotates when no load is applied.
The power that an air motor produces is simply the product of torque and speed. Air motors produce a characteristic power curve, with maximum power occurring at around 50 % of the free speed.
The torque produced at this point is often referred to as "torque at the maximum output."
Output formula:
P = (π x M x n) / 30
M = (30 x P) / (π x n)
n = (30 x P) / (π x M)
P = power [kW]
M = torque [Nm]
n = speed [rpm]
When selecting an air motor for an application the first step is to establish the "working point".
This is the combination of the desired operating speed for the motor and the torque required at that point.
Note: The point on the torque/ speed curve where the motor actually operates is called the working point.
