Across Leary Way from the Way Station a former machine shop underwent substantial construction last year to accommodate retail or restaurant tenants. As of the beginning of this year, the two available spaces have been filled with new restaurants.
Tray Kitchen moved in last fall and it's future neighbor the Frellard Pizza Company, Ethan Stowell's latest project, is due to arrive later this year. Read more about Tray Kitchen here on Fremont Universe.Looking across Leary Way at the open space for Frellard Pizza Company.
Facing south, two large garage doors open into the future pizzeria. Lately, the building and parking lot are filled with the hustle and bustle of creating the ideal space. The Frellard Pizza Company is the latest venture of Ethan Stowell Restaurants, run by Ethan and his wife Angela already has an impressive roster of restaurants. With 10 restaurants around Seattle, Ethan Stowell Restaurant's offers a variety of cuisine in some of Seattle's most popular neighborhoods.
A resident of Phinney Ridge, Ethan's upcoming addition keeps things closer to home and builds on the success of the Ballard Pizza Company, Ethan's original "casual pizza joint." Frellard Pizza Company will follow the same model as Ballard yet also compliment the busy Ballard Ave spot with expanded delivery service and plenty of space for groups and children.Inside Ballard Pizza Company on Ballard Ave. Image from Ballard Pizza Company
Opened in 2012 Ballard Pizza Co. stays busy serving slices, salads, and pints. So busy in fact, it became difficult to keep up with delivery service and currently only available in Ballard. Frellard Pizza Co will take over all delivery service and allow pies to travel far and wide. Well, at least west of Aurora and south of NW 85th Street. This covers the neighborhoods of Sunset Hill, Ballard, parts of Greenwood, Phinney Ridge, and Fremont. After Frellard Pizza Co. takes over delivery service whole pies can still be picked up at the Ballard location but all delivery will be based in Frellard.
As with Ballard Pizza Company, Ethan aims to reflect the surrounding community with Frellard Pizza Company. While it will be very similar to the Ballard location it also offers something all it's own to that "almost-Fremont" area.Pizza is available by the slice or full pie. Image from Ballard Pizza Company
The goal? A neighborhood pizza joint that connects with those in the actual neighborhood. This also includes families like Ethan's with young children. From his personal experience quick counter service is crucial with a two-year old. It's best "to get the food in front of them right away" he says. Meanwhile, adults can enjoy a beer and spend time with their family.
In some ways Frellard Pizza Co steps out even further into the neighborhood than Ballard with plans for an outside beer garden including a deck and fire pits. According to Ethan there will be a kids area and plenty of space for groups of all ages. The beer list will focus on nearby breweries in the Ballard/Frellard/Fremont area. Ethan is not trying to be "cutting edge" with the new pizza joint but rather "provide a good product in a cool environment."
In the lead up to opening, Frellard Pizza Co. will be hiring for various positions. Interested applicants can drop resumes off ahead of time at the Ballard Pizza Co.
Ethan is "stoked" to be joining the growing Frellard area and if all goes according to plan expects Frellard Pizza Company to open in the month of June. A family and pizza fan himself he will "definitely be there" with his family and making a beeline for those "fat slices."Frellard Pizza Company will offer delivery in Fremont, Phinneywood, Sunset Hill, and Ballard.

I took five minutes with one of my Form 5 groups today to reflect on where we were, one month into the school year.
The end of a month is a good time to do that, both in one's personal and professional life. It's hard to keep our eyes on our goals all the time. When the days are long and filled with class, sports, clubs, friends and family, when do we get the chance to focus our attention inwards and think about where we stand in relation to our own goals and priorities? And if we haven't taken the time to outline our own goals and priorities, how can we know how close we are to achieving them?
I asked my students to think about a few things:
- what were the targets they had set themselves at the start of the year? (we did a target-setting exercise in class)
- where did they stand in relation to that target?
- what was working for them with regard to achieving that target?
- what could they change to bring themselves closer to the path that would lead to achieving the target?
- has something small cropped up as a recurring issue that they (and their teachers) aren't happy about? Usually the small things are the most easily solved and they remove a potential source of conflict before it happens eg getting to class on time, not having chewing gum, wearing the uniform correctly.
For my students, this exercise also meant looking at the calendar and realising we have three and a half weeks to midterm, and then a three week run that brings us to the Christmas exams (a misnomer, as ours take place in November).
I suggested to my students that they take a few minutes this evening to think about what they can do in the three weeks that will bring us to midterm to make the return in November a simple lengthening of their stride rather than a struggle to get to where they want to be.
As students, as teachers, as people going through life, we don't want to wake up and realise too late that, as James Taylor so eloquently sings, we've been "riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song."
Think about your own priorities, set targets for yourself and then sing your own song and dance your own dance! (you might surprise yourself…and everybody else)

I am also sort of waiting until we are fully finished with working on our house. I feel like it will make a HUGE difference once we have a kitchen that works better for us. I crave a kitchen that is the heart of our home. Right now it is just the place that we make food. You cannot concregate there since there is no room. We can't even open the fridge door all the way. In fact, once we have that completed we will be so close to the end. Then we only have two more rooms to do. I am hoping as well to eliminate a lot of extra clutter in the next year or so as well. We are going to have a yard sale next spring to get rid of some furniture that we don't use anymore and also a lot of baby stuff. That will be so nice.
In the meantime, I was thinking since I am not really decorating for holidays, maybe I could just do one thing. Put a wreath or decoration on the door. So over the course of a year I am going to make that my crafting project. I plan to make some for each season or special holidays. And I figured I could start by at least coping some of my pin ideas onto the blog to get me started!
Fall Wreath Idea
Halloween Idea...I know it is a picture frame, but I thought I could use the same concept on a wreath!
Easter Wreath Idea, spray paint the eggs a robin's blue and glue them on. I love the idea!
Of course something patriotic during the 4th is important and I like that this ribbon wreath is something different.

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
At Santa's Pub, a double-wide trailer that houses a dive bar with a devoted fan base amongst Nashville locals, the Christmas season is not limited to the margin between Thanksgiving and December 25th. From the bar's decor – which is filled to the brim with Christmas decorations, including an always-lit tree – to the images of Santa Claus on his sleigh painted on the front of the bar and the man with the jolly white beard behind the bar (that would be Santa's co-owner, Denzel Stillings), the holiday season knows no bounds at Santa's.

On an average day, you may not put much thought into the relative luxuriousness of the bathrooms that you use. At Nashville's Hermitage Hotel, however, the men's bathroom is so sumptuous that in 2008, it was awarded the distinction of America's Best Restroom. Sure, the Hermitage Hotel is worth a visit in its own right – it is named after Andrew Jackson's Hermitage estate and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places – but visitors continue to flock to the men's room of this legendary building. Your preferred gender identity aside, take a sneak peak at the white-and-green glass tiles, shoeshine station, and terrazzo floor that set this restroom apart.

At Dixieland Delights, located in the heart of downtown on Broadway, you'll find more Music City souvenirs than you could ever possibly need. Get your fill of candies packed in guitar-shaped tins and pose for a photo with the Elvis statue out front. Before you leave though, be sure to have your fortune handed down to you by Willie Nelson. Okay, so the fortune might be printed on a card, and the psychic may be a machine, not the country music megastar himself, but where else can you get your future delineated to you by a major celebrity for just one dollar?
Dixieland Delights, 325 Broadway, Nashville, TN, USA, +1 (615) 313 9926
Just a few doors down from Dixieland Delight is Ernest Tubb Record Shop, founded by legendary country music singer Ernest Tubb – the 'Texas Troubadour' himself. This Broadway shop offers a large selection of country music records and memorabilia, but you may not know that this popular tourist attraction is also home to a piece of almost-history: a bronze bust of one of the first Americans killed during the Vietnam War. Local legend has it that David McCormick, then-owner of the shop, erected a bust of who he believed to have been the first soldier to perish in the conflict, in 1961. Later evidence proved that he was not, but the bust continues to stand in the shop.
Ernest Tubb Record Shop, 417 Broadway, Nashville, TN, USA, +1 (615) 255 7503
Minority inaccurate bronze busts, petting zoos – if you're searching for one-of-a-kind records stores in Nashville, you won't be disappointed. And Fond Object, a charming white-brick record store/boutique/performance space/petting zoo in East Nashville is no exception. Browse the shop's wide selection of music and antiques, stick around for an early-evening show, or pet a rescued animal in the backyard.
Fond Object Records, 1313 McGavock Pike, Nashville, TN, USA, +1 (615) 499 4498
Nashville is home to more than a few recording studios, including RCA Studio B, where music legends such as Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Chet Atkins have recorded songs. But the list does not stop there: Elvis Presley recorded the majority of his albums at RCA, including his 1957 Elvis' Christmas Album. The story goes that the King of Rock & Roll could not quite muster enough holiday spirit while recording the album in the middle of the summer, so Christmas string lights were hung up in the studio – and were never taken down. See for yourself on one of the studio's daily tours.

Taxidermied squirrels. Jewelry made of animal skeletons. Fetal pigs in a jar. Decades-old medical syringes. This may sound like a list of props for a horror film. They are, in fact, examples of trinkets you can purchase at Hail, Dark Aesthetics, one of Nashville's most unforgettable boutiques (if you can justly call a store that sells animal skulls a 'boutique'). While the prices for these novelties may be a bit steeper than your average pair of shopping mall earrings, the selection here, not to mention the dark, almost haunted atmosphere, will fulfill any latent craving for creepiness that you may be harboring.

Class of 92 back in FA Cup spotlight with Salford
United legends Gary and Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt, who all won the FA Cup in their illustrious Old Trafford playing careers, have helped revive the fortunes of the Evo-Stik League Northern Premier side since buying them last year.
Now they will be back in the FA Cup spotlight after Monday's draw paired their seventh tier non-league outfit against fourth tier Notts County, who won the competition in 1894, at Moor Lane on the weekend of November 6-9.
Asked for his thoughts about the draw on Twitter, Gary Neville, who now works as a television pundit and a member of England's coaching staff, responded: "Delighted! A big game at Moor Lane!"
Neville also responded to a tweet from Notts County's official account, suggesting Salford will need to make some changes to be ready for the encounter.
"How many fans do you have travelling? We need more toilets and burger vans!" he tweeted.
Salford average around 500 fans for their home games, although there were 1,019 present for the win over Southport in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round last weekend.
"I'm delighted for everybody at the club for all the work that's been put in," Salford striker Danny Webber said after the draw on BBC Two.
"It was important we got a league club and it will be great for the lads to pit their wits against a league club to see where we stand.
"It's exciting for everybody at Salford."
Salford's neighbours FC United of Manchester, founded in 2005 by Manchester United supporters who had grown disillusioned with the Premier League club's owners the Glazer family, also made it to the first round.
Currently playing in the National League North, the sixth tier of English football, FC United have an opportunity to cause an upset after being handed a home tie against third tier Chesterfield.
Draw for the first round of the English FA Cup made on Monday:
Burton Albion v Peterborough

text: Originally from New York, the hip-hop duo Kane & Abel moved to New Orleans as teenagers. When they arrived in New Orleans, they met Mia X, who eventually hooked the duo up with Master P, who helped Kane & Abel land a deal with No Limit Records. Their first album, 1996's 7 Sins, was produced by KLC and Mo B. Dick, who formerly worked with Down South Hustlers and Tru. Am I My Brother's Keeper followed in 1998. The next year, the duo broke from No Limit, starting their own label, Most Wanted, which was distributed through EastWest. Their first effort for the label was Rise to Power, which was released in the fall of 1999. Preceding the release, the twin brothers were arrested in May 1999 for conspiring to distribute cocaine with a convicted drug dealer named Richard Pena. This served as good publicity for their album, particularly as they argued that the bust was a conspiracy that was ultimately aimed at getting the two to testify against Master P. In the end, they ended up plea bargaining and released Most Wanted in late 2000. The album featured "Shake It Like a Dog," a popular club hit that eventual became such a success for the underground Southern duo that they re-released the album in summer 2001. The re-release of Most Wanted featured four new bonus tracks, including "Show Dat Work (Shake It Like a Dog, Pt. 2)" featuring Mystikal. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
Luke 2:1-7 (ESV)
The account of the birth of Jesus in Luke 2:1-7 reveals much about three attributes and the character of God.
- God is sovereign: the mighty emperor of the Roman empire became the unwitting servant of God to fulfill prophecy (Micah 5:2).
- God is faithful: every detail foretold concerning the birth of the Messiah came to pass.
- God is humble: Christ came to our world, to seek and save the lost.

Jubilee Christian Church (JCC) Rev. Kathy Kiuna has opened up about her husband's struggle with cancer.
In an Instagram post, Kathy indicated that Bishop Allan Kiuna was diagnosed with cancer last year but has since been cured.
"His hair has grown back, he is physically fit, he can run, jump, stand for hours and when I see this, it is a reminder that all glory is to God," she said.
The televangelist described how Bishop Kiuna lost hair and gained weight as a result of chemotherapy treatment.
During the time, he was also unable to stand or walk for long and would sometime be forced to tiptoe due to severe pain in his legs, Mrs. Kiuna noted.
"Chemotherapy had him losing hair, gaining weight and unable to do much physically; he was unable to stand or walk for long and had to tiptoe around from the immense pain in his legs," noted Kathy without disclosing the type of cancer he was battling.
She further recounted the difficulty she faced having to preach while Bishop Kiuna tussled the disease.
"Chemotherapy had him at his lowest. What was most difficult for me, was having to be home preaching most of the time and not by his side physically and honestly speaking it took all of me to even stand and preach," she said
"Most of what I preached last year, was more for me than anyone else, it was God speaking to me at the same time using me to get to someone. Regardless of how I felt, I had to show my husband that we would get through this and show strength even when it was hard," she added.
Bishop Kiuna first revealed his battle with cancer in August this year while condoling with the families of Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso and Kibra MP Ken Okoth. The two leaders succumbed to cancer in July.
"I am so grateful to God for having seen me through a difficult battle with cancer last year. My heart goes out to the families of all who have lost their loved ones to the scourge," he wrote.
Bishop Kiuna condoled with the families and friends of the late Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso and Kibra Member of Parliament Ken Okoth.
He gained weight during chemo. That was luckier than most. A typical symptom of cancer is unexplained weight loss.
unless you had no cancer but you wanted to fake a disease and then show people how well you can pray it out, to get more followers, your story don't add up. a truthful person like Bob Collymore involves people in the process of healing..or stop telling us about it- and if you are true you really had cancer.. your doctor would have told you that you didn't not get cured you went on REMISSION.IT'S OBVIOUS YOU ARE LYING....

According to Metal Israel: "The goal of this film is to discover what is happening in metal scenes around the world," co-directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn beforehand said in a statement, "Metal has spread throughout Asia, South America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and even Africa. We want to discover what metal means to musicians and fans that come from these diverse cultures."
"Global Metal" is expected to include interviews with Israel's Orphaned Land and Melechesh as well as live footage from Orphaned Land's November 25, 2006 show at the Theatre Club in Tel-Aviv, Israel and Melechesh's concert at The Opera House in Toronto on September 23, 2006.
"Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" explored metal's impact and controversy over the past 35 years and featured interviews with Tony Iommi, Bruce Dickinson, Alice Cooper, Ronnie James Dio, Slayer, Dee Snider, Arch Enemy, Lamb of God, Cannibal Corpse, Emperor and many more. The two-disc DVD set was released in North America in May 2006 and includes extended interviews, an interactive metal history chart, and a mini-doc on Norwegian black metal.

So summer doesn't officially start until the end of June, but in Louisiana, summer weather seems to come a little earlier. I'm already suffering from heat stroke. Not really, but I'm sweating all the freaking time. Super cute, I know.
While I'm on my way to and from Gulf Shores and Europe this summer, I'm excited to get in some summer reading. These are a few books on my to-read list next season.
To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
I adore Jenny Han. She's adorable, sweet and an incredibly talented writer. To All the Boys I've Loved Before is her latest novel, and it's about a girl whose secret box of letters that she's written to all of her past crushes is discovered and distributed. She is forced to face each of them individually. This book sounds right up my alley, and I just have a feeling I'm going to l-o-v-e it. Not to mention, I just won this book in a giveaway hosted by Mochi Magazine. I can't wait to get it in the mail!
The Giver by Lois Lowry
When I saw the preview for this movie when I went to see Divergent, I was so intrigued by the concept. I know this book was released ages ago, but I never read it. Now that the movie is coming out, naturally I need to read the book before I go see it.
The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line (Veronica Mars #1) by Rob Thomas
Rob Thomas is one of my favorite people. He's so talented and so funny, and I cannot wait to read this book. It picks up right where the Veronica Mars movie leaves off.
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
I loved Eleanor & Park, which is the first book that I read by Rainbow Rowell. I've heard great things about Fangirl, and I can't wait to dive into this book.
A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
I've heard great things about this book and can't believe that I haven't read it yet. It's been recommended to me by several people. The book is actually the first of a trilogy, so if it's as good as people are saying it is, perhaps I'll read all three.
What books are you looking forward to reading this summer?
Meet one of my May sponsors, Claire!
I'm Claire, the blogger behind Refining Bliss! I'm a graduate public health student living in the midwest, and I love to de-stress with crafts, baking and blogging. Refining Bliss is a lifestyle blog where I write about family, food, and daily goings on. Enjoy, blissfully.

JBP Post Modernism – History and diagnosis
Video of discussion between Jordan and Stephen Hicks concerning Hicks' book "Explaining Post Modernism"
22:40 SH "Our having legitimate cognitive processes to understand the world, that is exactly what we are arguing about in the first place." That supposition does not seem to be challengable. If we do not have such a thing, then there can be no basis for communication or argument. The basis of language is communication about something.
Sure, that something may be our personal, imperfect, subconsciously generated, model of reality, rather than reality itself, and as such subject to all manner of social influences, errors and uncertainties; and unless one has at least that as a minimum, no communication is possible.
Acknowledging that our models and our understandings are subject to many different sorts of errors and limits of accuracy, is not at all the same thing as saying that all models have identical utility or accuracy (these are two very different and very important aspects).
22:58 "They will say that there is a circular reasoning problem that evolutionary epistemology finds itself trapped in."
In a sense, yes.
And in the same sense, all forms of epistemology are subject to exactly the same sort of circularity.
Evolutionary epistemology at least has evidence to back it up, which none of the others do.
And evolutionary epistemology is extremely complex, with many levels of very complex systems.
Simple explanations always miss important aspects, and all explanations are essentially incomplete in important yet subtle aspects. It really does seem to be that complex.
47:22 SH "Enlightenment humanism, where we are going to take power seriously, but we are going to constrain power in a way that respects the individual and simultaneously enables individuals to form mutually beneficial social networks across time and so on."
49:57 JBP "We shouldn't fall prey to the illusion that there is necessarily any unifying matrix that makes all those different forms of power importantly similar except for the terminology." … "A proclivity to collapse all these different modes of power into power itself. That's not reasonable, because it is reasonable to note that many of the forms of power that you just described contend against one another rather than mutually fortifying one another."
[Pumping the oscillator.]
51:01 SH "If you think by contrast, about the individual human rights respecting enlightenment vision that you are articulating and that I agree with as well, normatively that wants to devolve social power to the individual, and leave individuals with a great deal of self responsibility and control over their own domain."
51;50 JBP "It also means, and this is where I think the post modernists are open to you might say conceptual assault, is that in order to have that freedom devolve upon the individual in that manner, the individual has to take responsibility for acting as a locus of power in the world. Actual responsibility, and cannot conceive of themselves or act in a manner that only makes them an avatar of a social movement."
SH "Far left and right conceive as the individual as a vehicle through which social forces flow."
54:20 SH "The individualism that is built into enlightenment humanism, we start to see it developing in Renaissance humanism, is to take seriously the notion that individuals have some significant measure of control over their thoughts, over their actions, the shape of their own character, the shape of their own destiny, and that is fundamental to one's moral dignity as a human being. That view of human nature built into the ethics fundamentally, then all social relationships, have to be respectful of that individuality, and the consequently, when we start to turn to political theory, and we start to talk about very heavy duty uses of power such as the police and the military, then we want to have serious constraints on government power to make sure that we are respecting individual sovereignty."
59:30 JBP "There is a performative contradiction. …."
1:00:38 SH "So then we have a tension between what our intellectual theories are telling us, and what our empirical data is telling us. We don't yet have a way to put those two together."
That last statement is one I fundamentally disagree with.
We have evolutionary theory, which can account for the selection of systems that survive in different sorts of contexts – leading to all the diversity of life we see.
That same mechanism, in the realm of culture and human behaviour, seems to have selected the very complex sets of behaviours we call culture, language, and intellectual knowledge.
In software we have the possibility of declarative statements instantiating new entities, which is what we each seem to do to ourselves in the way we use language and declarative judgement to instantiate levels of higher awareness within ourselves.
We have Quantum mechanics telling us that at the scale of the very small things that are collected in vast collections to make us possible, that all is uncertain beyond Planck limits; that uncertainty seems to be a fundamental element of the fabric of being.
We have Wolfram and Turing and von Neumann and others exploring computational and strategic and complexity spaces that seems to be telling us that even very simple and fully deterministic systems can be beyond prediction (without allowing at all for quantum effects). Then we have the realms of probabilistic systems and chaos.
So it seems very clear to me that our empirical data and the theoretical frameworks referred to above are saying that we are very complex entities, with many aspects that will be forever beyond our full conscious awareness, and that at higher levels we can exert conscious influence on who we get to be, and what we do in the world, and that such choices matter.
It is the ability to choose, which embodies the ability to question (anything and everything), and to be responsible for the consequences of those choices, in an eternal dance of influences across many domains simultaneously, that seems to be this experience of being human.
Nothing can be beyond question in such profound uncertainty.
And some things can be known with great operational confidence – like the need to hold individual sapient life and the liberty of all such individuals, as our highest values – and that liberty demands of each and every one of us responsibility in both social and ecological contexts.
These things seem to be required if we wish survival as an outcome. There are far more ways not to exist than to continue to exist (it seems to be a far larger infinity).
And David Snowden's Cynefin Framework for the management of complexity is a very powerful simple framework that gives some useful ideas of how to respond to the profoundly different levels of complexity that seem (beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt) to exist in reality.
Morality matters.
Choices matter.
We matter.
Our freedom and our responsibility to act in reality matter!
Developing social structures and systems that both empower and enable individuals must be our highest priority.
It is not a matter of individuals or society.
It is a matter of individuals in society.
We are biological and social entities – entities of both matter and language.
We require both biology and social interaction.
We must exhibit responsibility in both ecological and social contexts.
We are profoundly complex in ways that very few have any real idea of, and my 50 years of interest in life, evolution, systems, computers, programming, cosmology, etc has given me some faint glimmer of an understanding of (a very broad brush stroke sketch, nothing more).
We need to honour our past and our present, and be open to profound change in our future.
And that does not mean that all things are equally valid.
Extinctions happen.
Reality does have very real rules and limits, even if they are defined in probability statements.
Peril is very real beyond certain limits.
Freedom must be valued, and it must be understood in the contexts of the physical, ecological and social limits that are currently in existence.
Avoiding the twin tyrannies (majority and minority) is not easy.
It requires responsible action from each and every one of us.
Responsibility in how we treat the environment, in what we release into it, in how we influence the biological systems we are so dependent upon, but few today have any real understanding of the profound connections and relationships present.
Responsibility in how we treat each other, in the need to provide everyone with a high minimum standard, and not ignore the problems that others face.
I have a personal desire to live a very long time (billions of years).
That has been a real possibility for me (if improbable) for over 42 years, since completing undergrad biochemistry studies and being confident beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt that indefinite life is the default cellular condition, and that the age related senescence we see in organisms like ourselves is an added layer of genetic control.
That means that with sufficient knowledge, control and life extension must be possible.
The real trick is all the other risk factors that are not cellular in origin.
Identifying and mitigating all other forms of existential risk has been the major focus of my life for the past 42 years.
The sort of "either or", rather than "both and", thinking embodied in this conversation are one of the very real sets of existential risk present; in terms of the intolerance generated by such thinking.
1:01:07 SH speaking of Enlightenment view "The big three: truth ideals and power"
1:03:28 SH "Power is then structured as a means to an end. And we want to empower people cognitively, teach them how to read, teach them how to think, (right) so that they themselves can understand the truth and discover new truth. So Power leads to Truth."
The idea of teaching people how to think can be a dangerous one if taken too far. We all use many different modes of thought normally.
What is powerful is teaching people about those different modes of thought, about the sorts of contexts that different modes are usually best used in, and the sorts of dangers one faces and benefits one can gain by using different combinations in different contexts. And beyond that, the modes of thought one actually uses must be a matter of personal choice.
1:05:55 SH "We don't believe that human beings are capable (right) of getting any sort of objective truth any more. So we are just left with power"
That view I challenge.
I certainly dismiss the notion of absolute truth, and I dismiss it in several different senses.
I dismiss it as a simplistic approximation to something – useful in certain contexts but prone to failure if pushed too far.
In that sense, QM seems to be telling us that there are very real limits to the degree to which the universe is knowable. It seems to be knowable only in the probabilistic sense, but since the smallest thing we can see with our unaided eyes contains many trillions of fundamental particles, they behave in very predictable fashions.
So the classical idea of Truth seems to have been falsified, beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt.
What we are left with is something much more powerful and useful, an idea of context sensitive dependability, and context sensitive creativity and freedom.
The sort of objective truth I have is one based in probability, where evidence sets and paradigms of interpretation contain uncertainties, and uncertainties are required in all things, yet in some things those uncertainties are so small as to be ignored in practical life – yet in intellectual life one must always be conscious of them.
If you think about it for just a very short time – even quite basic geometry points to such unknowability.
The ratio of the diameter to the circumference of a circle (Pi) is an irrational number. It cannot be known with certainty, only approximated to some useful degree.
If that doesn't tell you something fundamental about the idea of Truth, then you really haven't thought about it enough.
For someone like myself, with 50 years of interest in the biochemistry of life, in the structure and function of brains, in the concepts of information and algorithm and strategy, and the domain spaces resulting from the intersection of all the things I have investigated and contemplated; the idea of objective knowledge I have is based in uncertainties on dozens of different levels – yet because of that, it has a confidence in some areas that is a very close approximation to unity, while in other areas there remain profound unknowns and unknowables.
This seems to be the only sort of objective knowledge that reality has on offer, so we might as well accept it, and get on with life.
And that process of life, demands of us respect for the realities of existence.
Far more life forms are extinct than are living.
Reality seems to have its own rules.
We either learn them, or perish.
One of those rules comes out of the combination of evolutionary theory and strategy space, and that is that if we want a reasonable chance of surviving a long time, then we need to respect individual life and liberty, and we need to cooperate for our mutual benefit.
1:06:01 SH "We are just left with Power. And also, on the normative side, we don't believe in justice anymore. We don't believe that any sort of normative principle or ethical ideals can be objectively grounded. .. Power in the service of truth, power in the service of justice, that goes away – all we are left with is power."
I certainly don't believe that.
I do believe (based on vast evidence sets) that justice can be objectively grounded in survival of complex cooperatives.
I do believe (based on vast evidence sets) that ethics are based in the survival of complex cooperative social structures, and without them those structures will fail in catastrophic ways.
I don't believe in gods or revelations from god.
I do understand many levels of the power of our brains, our subconscious abilities, and how those must have seemed like revelations, voices of gods, to our ancestors.
Most of the teachings of Jesus, in the ways in which he suggested we relate to each other, seem to me to be clearly supported by our current best understanding of the strategies most likely to deliver individual security and individual liberty, in practice.
But the understanding I have is not common, and has taken me decades to acquire.
1:06:23 SH "So, power in the service of Truth, power in the service of justice, that goes away, and all we are left with is power."
That is a very simplistic understanding, and to my understanding has been falsified beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt – as outlined above.
1:14:40 JBP "If the objective facts are stacking up against your theory then it is time to mount an attack on objective facts."
When anyone gets attached to a belief, a truth, a faith, at any level, and they allow that belief to be greater than their respect for individual life or individual liberty, then they become a threat to the rest of us.
To that degree, they must be restrained in a way that mitigates the threat that they pose.
That applies to any belief, capitalist, socialist, religious, objectivist, whatever.
If it cannot tolerate the diversity that must result from freedom; then it is a threat to freedom itself.
In as much as actions resulting from any mode of thought pose a significant direct threat to the life or liberty (responsibly exercised) of anyone else, then we all have a responsibility to restrain such actions to whatever degree we reasonably can.
I make the strong claim that only in such a world, do any of us have any significant probability of living a very long time.
Reality does seem to be that complex, that sometimes the outliers do in fact see something important for the rest of us (even if most of the time they are wrong).

Lawmakers are nearing the deadline to propose revenue-raising measures to fill Oklahoma's $878 million budget hole. All budget and appropriations bills must be introduced before May 19.
What Happened At The Capitol This Week?
Lawmakers Continue To Search For Ways To Fill Budget Hole
"It looks like there's a working agreement of sorts between House Republicans and House Democrats that would bring in about $400 million," eCapitol news director Shawn Ashley said Friday in his weekly Capitol Insider conversation with Dick Pryor.
The agreement would include a cigarette tax increase of $1.50 per pack and get rid of a group of incentives for oil and gas companies. It would also include expansion of some tribal casino roulette and dice games, though that proposal later died in committee.
Sen. Mike Schulz, President pro tem of the state Senate, said he does not support an expansion of casino games on moral grounds. But members of the Senate Republican caucus said the idea should be considered.
State Rep. Mike Ritze Makes Proposal To Deport Immigrant Students
Oklahoma state representative Mike Ritze, R-Broken Arrow, drew national attention when he proposed Thursday that non-English speaking immigrant students in Oklahoma public schools be deported if they are not in the United States legally.
Ritze argued this would raise money for the state, and estimated there are about 82,000 illegal immigrant students in Oklahoma.
Several members of the newly formed Republican Platform Caucus, of which Rep. Ritze is a member, challenged Ritze's proposal. Rep. Chuck Strohm, R-Jenks, said the proposal was Ritze's own idea, not one of the conservative caucus' suggested revenue-raising measures.
Anti-Abortion Resolution Passes House
Lawmakers continue to take up legislation on social issues, including a House resolution passed the week of May 8 related to abortion.
If passed into law, the resolution would require courts in Oklahoma and other public officials to follow statutes and the will of the legislature on abortion. Anti-abortion activists in the state view the resolution as a move toward completely banning abortion in Oklahoma.
eCapitol's Shawn Ashley said he anticipates the state's Senate and House will continue to take up bills on social issues until the end of session May 26.
Special Session Question Looms
Legislators could face a special session if they cannot pass a state budget before the regular session deadline, but state Speaker of the House Charles McCall, R-Atoka, and Senate president pro tem Mike Schulz, R-Altus, say that scenario is unlikely.
"The part missing...is Gov. Mary Fallin," Ashley said.
Fallin has said she will veto a budget if it does not contain sufficient revenue-raising measures, and the current tentative agreement in the House and Senate only raises approximately $400 million of the needed $878 million.
To close that gap, legislators would have to make significant funding cuts to state agencies. Fallin has previously expressed opposition to continued agency cuts. If Fallin vetoes the proposed budget, lawmakers would have to hold special session.
Full Transcript Of This Week's Capitol Insider
Dick Pryor: Shawn, we're heading into the final week when revenue measures must be passed. Any agreement on revenue measures to help fill the state's $878 million budget hole?
Shawn Ashley: At the present time, it looks like there's a working agreement of sorts between House Republicans and House Democrats that would bring in about $400 million. What this would do would be to increase the cigarette tax by $1.50 per pack which would bring in $215 million. It would limit itemized deductions except for charitable contributions, generating another $100 million. And it would eliminate a group of oil and gas incentives that would produce about $45 million. The final component of that--and perhaps the most controversial--is an expansion of some class III games in Oklahoma which has posed a problem for the state Senate.
Pryor: Well, Senate president pro tem Mike Schulz has indicated moral objections to that.
Ashley: That's right. When the package was first presented to the Senate over the previous weekend, Sen. Schulz and his leadership team objected to the idea of expanding class III gaming in Oklahoma, and essentially said that they saw that as strings attached to the rest of this proposal.
However, as the week wore on, members of the Senate Republican Caucus said that that idea should be considered. And in the latter part of the week, they were discussing that and looking at it for possible inclusion. If that agreement could be reached, then you would have a three-way agreement between House Republicans, House Democrats and the Senate.
Pryor: What is the new gaming being considered?
Ashley: This would expand it to include dice and perhaps Roulette, additional games that would go on top of the slots and poker and other card games that are currently available.
Pryor: Broken Arrow State Rep. Mike Ritze had a novel proposal to raise money that generated a lot of reaction.
Ashley: Yes. Rep. Ritze is part of the OK GOP Platform caucus, a new caucus that was announced about a week ago made up of approximately 20 members. The caucus put forth a number of ideas for balancing the budget, and Rep. Ritze took that a little further as it related to immigrant students in Oklahoma public schools.
Specifically, he said those who are non-English speakers should be examined to determine if they should be here in Oklahoma and, if not, deported. He said that would be about 82,000 students.
Pryor: And there was a lot of pushback.
Ashley: There was a lot of pushback, including from some members of his own conservative caucus group, including Rep. Chuck Strohm, a Republican from Jenks, who said that was Rep. Ritze's own idea.
Pryor: Shawn, it appears there is more than expected talk about social issues late in the session, when legislators' thoughts normally are squarely focused on the budget.
Ashley: Well, nature abhors a vacuum and so does the legislature. When you get them on the floor, they're going to talk about something. And we saw this past week where a resolution related to abortion was on the floor, which essentially would say that the courts in Oklahoma and other public officials had to follow the statutes and the will of the legislature as it relates to that issue.
It is only a House resolution. It was approved; It does not carry the weight of law. But we have seen those discussions in other areas, like the the gambling issue related to the budget. So they will continue to rise all the way through May 26 when the legislature must adjourn.
Pryor: What are you hearing about a possible special session?
Ashley: It depends on who you talk to. Here we are, moving into that final period where they must approve revenue raising measures. Legislators like Senate president pro tem Mike Schulz are very confident. So is House Speaker Charles McCall as well as his second floor leader Jon Echols. They say they'll be able to get the work done. In simplest terms, they have to approve the revenue raising measures by May 19th. They then do have that final week in order to come up with a budget agreement.
The one part missing from that? Gov. Mary Fallin. Where does she stand in this? As we go back to our first question, the proposal that they seem to have a general agreement about only raises 400 of the $870 million. You would be looking at significant cuts as a result of that. And Gov. Mary Fallin has been very explicit in saying that she does not want to cut some of these agencies too much more in order to balance this budget.
Pryor: It truly is crunch time. Thanks, Shawn.
Ashley: You're very welcome.

SoHo Press, Inc., 2012, 336 Pages
ISBN No. 978-1616951818
Reviewed by Patricia E. Reid
DCI Andy Gilchrist became a new favorite for me just a few pages into "Hand For A Hand". A dismembered hand is found on the golf course in St. Andrews, Scotland. The hand grips a note addressed to Andy. This first note is only the beginning of the terrors that Andy must face as the body parts and the notes with the strange messages continue to make their appearances.
Andy is divorced with two grown children, Jack and Maureen. It is a puzzle as to why the murderer is targeting Andy with a personal note. Andy realizes that the victim could be someone close to him. He leaves an urgent message for his daughter Maureen requesting that she contact him immediately. When he reaches his son, Jack, Andy learns that Jack had a disagreement with his girlfriend, Chloe, and doesn't know where she is now.
To make matters even worse, Ronnie Watt is assigned to the case. Because of an incident in the past involving Ronnie and Andy's young daughter Maureen, Andy despises Ronnie, doesn't trust him, and feels that Ronnie will be a detriment rather than an asset in the investigation. Although Andy complains to his superior, he is told that Ronnie will remain on the case in spite of Andy's feelings.
When what appears to be paint on the severed hand Andy's fear increases. Jack's girlfriend Chloe is an artist. When the next body part is found along with a message for Andy, Andy becomes convinced that the victim must be Chloe.
With the assistance of DS Nancy Wilson, Andy works to decipher the meaning of the notes addressed to him but before he can come up with the answer his daughter Maureen disappears. So begins a race to find Maureen before the killer can deliver the final blow to Andy and his loved ones.
Any reader who enjoys Police Procedurals will instantly become a fan of T. Frank Muir. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.


text: Professor Bjork's Book PublishedProfessor Katharine Bjork's most recent book, "Prairie Imperialists: The Indian Country Origins of American Empire," was released this month. According to the publisher, University of Pennsylvania Press, " With rich biographical detail and ambitious historical scope, Prairie Imperialists makes fundamental connections between American colonialism and the racial dimensions of domestic political and social life—during peacetime and while at war. Ultimately, Bjork contends, the concept of "Indian Country" has served as the guiding force of American imperial expansion and nation building for the past two and a half centuries and endures to this day."

Welcome to Models by me, I hope you enjoy having a look around, these are all models I have built straight from the box over many years and the photography of them. Some information is included on each model including, the type, make, scale and actual build time. You will also find basic Exif data on the slides, showing some of the camera settings used when I photographed them….
I always build out of the box, I never use etched or third party enhancements so all additional detail is scratch built, i am not a purist so you will most likely find inaccuracies if you are, I do use an airbrush for most of the painting and yes I modelled the sea too.
Site navigation
To view all Models by Scale and Models by list, use the links at the top, or in the sidebar. On the model pages simply click on any thumbnail in a gallery to bring up a Lightbox, all images are a maximum 1100 pixels wide by a proportional height at 72 dpi (This keeps bandwidth usage down).
You are free to use the images, but in strict accordance with the license they are covered by. All the photographs on this site, unless otherwise stated are published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.
Every slide shows basic EXIF metadata, although you can only see it using the lightbox. The photographs have not and never will be 'photoshopped'.
The main camera used is a Canon PowerShot A3300 IS, although I do use custom settings on the shoot, it is essentially a point and shoot camera. I use a lot of lighting and filters, I like to use as much natural light as possible, and it can take a whole day to complete a shoot on just one model, HMS Victory took a whole weekend. I crop each image and occasionally add lighting post shot using lightroom by Adobe, this is brilliant to catalogue/archive all the shots and backs everything up just in case and as a photographer, this program is a life saver.

More and more businesses are looking to hire a meeting room to hold their meetings, rather than use a room on their own premises. Why do they do this when they technically don't need to leave their own building to do so? Here are just a few reasons why your business may want to hire a meeting room of their own.
To Create More Space
An established business may have the property and the space to have their own dedicated meeting rooms, but if you're a small business, or a startup, then that may not be possible for you. However, you've still got to have somewhere for those all-important meetings. Hiring a separate meeting room will help you look established and professional, even if you don't have the space to hold that meeting at your own office.
It's Easy to Do
These days, it's incredibly simple to find a room that fits your needs. Online services like Venue Finder have you covered. All you need to do is plug in what you need, and they'll give you results in your area. For example, type in meeting rooms Bristol and you'll be given all the rooms that you could possibly hire in Bristol to conduct your business. You'll get prices, size and equipment listed too, so you'll know exactly what's in that room before you hire from them.
A Room Can Be More Convenient
If your office isn't in a busy city centre or another convenient location, organising meetings can be tricky. The people you're meeting with may be coming from far away, and finding your office will eat into their valuable time. You can avoid that by simply hiring a room somewhere that's convenient for both of you, so you can both get down to the important things right away.
Perfect for Those Who Work from Home
Anyone who's self-employed and works from home knows that if you want to meet with anybody, it's not that professional to do it from your own home. Can you find somewhere else to meet with potential clients? Hiring a meeting room can be inexpensive, and easier than you'd think. Hire a room and you can put forth a professional front, which should help you snag that job or client.
Use Equipment That You Don't Have on Hand
Again, if you're a start-up or smaller business, you may not have the equipment you need to pull off a successful meeting. For example, you may need projectors, or sound systems including microphones if you're hosting a larger meeting. Hiring a meeting room means that you can get all that equipment in with the room. This makes it a lot less stressful when you're looking to get everything together for your meeting.
These are just a few of the reasons why you'd want to start looking for meeting rooms in your area. You'll find there's more out there than you'd think, all with amenities that will help you do what you need to do. Take advantage of them to get more from your meetings.

Happy Spring!
It has been a full and productive winter at the BFA this year, with much to report. After a very successful 6th Soil & Nutrition Conference in December, we have been touring the country giving two-day courses, offering lectures, speaking at conferences, and some very interesting meetings in between.
It feels like the BFA is really coming into its own at the national level as a grassroots organization. In addition to already existing and established Chapters, new groups are coalescing in Vermont, Delaware, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico and California. If you are interested in joining or even starting a chapter locally, don't hesitate to reach out to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you to all who have been involved in these efforts.
Beyond this organizational growth, we have been actively taking the necessary steps this winter to bring to fruition our vision of a handheld device for discerning crop quality. Many are aware of our goal to give consumers the ability to test quality at the point of purchase, and to use that as a driver to facilitate systemic evolution in harmony with biological systems. In our organizational retreat last August, we decided to stop just talking about this vision, and to set about creating it!
We subsequently spent last fall identifying the key components necessary, and laid out what we had put together to an assembled audience of members and allies on the third day of the Soil & Nutrition Conference in December. The consensus from that meeting was to move forward with the project, and that process has been proceeding this winter.
We have built a team of allies, and drafted the documents to achieve and explain the process, and have been sharing them across the country, engaging with very influential collaborators in the process.
I have been waiting until the proper time to publicly announce these developments, and feel that moment has arrived.
Our objective is multi-purpose: It is not only to develop a tool that can be used by consumers to choose the best quality crops with a flash of light at point of purchase, but to identify what the variation is in crop quality in the food supply, and to identify what environmental conditions are necessary to produce high quality crops.
This entire process is being performed in and for the commons, with no proprietary data or engineering.
We are in active conversation with foundations, agronomic and nutrition researchers, numerous organizations, companies, and thought leaders across the country about support for this project. Watch for public announcements of formal endorsement from these allies and others in the coming weeks.
We are looking to raise $10 million in the next 3-5 years to accomplish this effort, and we are very optimistic about the prospects of securing the necessary funding to manifest our vision.
This brings me to the "ask" part of this missive.
A final piece of this project, and in fact a primary one, is one where most of those reading this can be of assistance.
The BFA has thus far in its existence operated primarily through word of mouth, and has not had much of a presence in either the traditional media or social media.
As the time has come for us to actively take on the next stage of our mission, we are ready to change our relationship to media and the larger collective consciousness.
In the coming weeks, you will see a marked uptick in our presence on sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, as we prepare to launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise the initial funds to support this research/platform/tool project.
We plan to clearly lay out our vision, strategy and plan through these media and others, and expect that that process will greatly increase the broader public awareness and support for our objectives.
If you have social media accounts, and have not followed or friended the BFA, please consider doing so. If you see posts we put out that you would like to share and send on to your communities, please do.
When the crowdfunding campaign is launched please consider sharing with your networks. If you would like to suggest groups that we should follow or be linked with, let us know. Jessica Smith, Chapter leader from Virginia, has generously offered to coordinate this project, and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are interested in the larger project and would like to read the plan, and offer comment or support, please reach out to me. And of course, if there are introductions that you can offer, again, please reach out.
The time has come for this to be realized, and through the collective it flows effortlessly.
