Thousands of eyes on us
Our sci-fi short film NEW debuted online November 2, and the response has been very gratifying indeed. As I write this post, we're coming up on our 15,000th view. For a three-day period in early November, we were clocking around 3000 views per day! Those might not be spectacular numbers for, say, a 30-second kitten video, but for a quiet, 17-minute drama it's pretty damn great. Even better: the smart comments the film has received. More about that in a moment.
The film has been featured at sites like Film Shortage and Alltop. And I particularly enjoyed the generous selection of screen caps and long, English-as-a-second-language plot summary over at Singaporean short film site VidSee. Fun… but don't read it if you haven't seen the film yet!
Last week, I did an interview for a TV station in Switzerland called BeCurious TV – they'll be airing that interview soon, along with NEW and two of my other shorts.
Best of all, we've been covered at io9.com, the go-to site for all things science fiction. I've been trying to get them to write about NEW for over two years! They were my white whale. Back when we were crowdfunding the budget, I sent the editors emails brimming over with all the charm I could muster, detailing the sci-fi epic being cooked up in their very own backyard (the site is based in San Francisco). All to no response… until now. Fair enough. I imagine they wanted to have a finished film to show people before writing about us.
But write about us they did, last month, with a nice review that declared NEW "pretty heartbreaking." When their story was published, it shot our view count through the roof for a couple of days. A month later it's still a major driver of traffic to the film. Thank you, io9.
Yesterday, around noon, we hit our fundraising goal for our film, NEW.
Our heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who has donated and helped spread the word. Because of you, we'll now be able to make a film we've been burning to do for a year now! We plan to be shooting soon, and have a movie for you all to see before the end of the year.
USA Projects has extended our campaign through May 24, so if you've not yet supported us with a donation, you still have time! The $22K goal represented the minimum budget need to make the project – any additional funds will be put to good use. That's a promise!
Our deepest appreciation, from me, Sheila Harden, Don R. Lewis, Skot Christopherson and the entire NEW crew.

Writer/Director, NEW
The End is Near
These are the end times, friends: the campaign for our sci-fi film NEW concludes Wednesday night, May 15, at one minute to midnight, PST. If we fail to reach our goal of $22,000 by then, all shall be for naught. Everyone will have their donations refunded. And We. Get. Nothing!
That would be, as they say, a bummer.
To sweeten the pot and (for some reason) reward the procrastinators out there, we are now offering a choice of two BRAND NEW PERKS to anyone who can donate $200 or more! Please view the video above to learn more about how donating to the NEW campaign will bring total fulfillment to your life.
Once again, thank you for your support! Now, please share the link to this project with someone today. No, really, like, right now. Here's your cut and paste:
And check back for more updates soon!

Many people have stepped up in many ways, to give of their time and money and effort to support our cinematic aspirations. Here are just some of them:
The Arts Council of Sonoma County
We would not be here on USA Projects at all, if not for the seminal support of our local arts organization. Thanks to John Moran and Jennifer Sloan and everyone at the council.
USA Projects, and Rose Kuo from the Film Society of Lincoln Center
It's a honor to be invited to use the USA Projects platform to promote and fundraise for my work. USA Projects has supported us in many ways, notably by choosing NEW to receive April's Creative Vision Award: $5,000 in matching funds that have helped us immensely in approaching our goal. The guest judge who selected us to receive the award was Rose Kuo, so our deep appreciation goes to Rose as well.
Armstrong Creates
My boss, Tom Armstrong has been generous with his time, money, and resources to help me realize my dream of making NEW. It's all really quite counter-productive, because he knows if this project takes off in a big way I might have to quit working for him to go make the feature film version of NEW. That's just the kind of guy he is.
The American Cryonics Society
Is cryonic preservation right for you? If you've been thinking it over, these are the folks you want to talk to. Edgar Swank, president of the society, has read the script for NEW and ACS has been a supporter of our efforts from early on. An article about NEW will be forthcoming in the next issue of their magazine, Long Life.
David Brin
Deep appreciation to this friend of NEW, the noted futurist and Hugo-award winning science fiction author, for great endorsements on his Facebook page and his blog, Contrary Brin. You should totally buy all his books. In hardcover!
I'm floating on air
As you may or may not know, I'm making a sci-fi movie called NEW, set a couple of hundred years in the future. The particular future that you'll see in my film is not perfect — because nothing is — but it's darned close. All the big problems have been solved, and the whole human race has pretty much checked into the Hilton, metaphorically speaking. They're all just basically chillin'.
There are no post-apocalyptic wars over food or fuel. No bullet-time kung-fu battles against evil robot overlords. My future is gentle. This allows me to tell the story I want to tell, challenging my main characters (thawed-out cryonics patients from the present day) with softer, more internal conflicts. Like culture shock. And identity crisis. You know, the kind you might suffer when you suddenly find yourself to be a healthy 20-year old rather than a cancer-ridden 70-year-old.
Depicting a utopia also suits me because I'm just so utterly bored with dystopia. It's become the stock solution for Hollywood sci-fi movies. Over and over, we are presented with bleak, dreary, and interchangeable futures. It's always crowded, everything's dirty, and everything's blue. (Or sometimes, olive drab.) And often, for some reason, everybody lives in what looks like a big factory. Why does everyone live in a fucking factory?!
Not in my future! In my future, people will live in gleaming white buildings, under bright blue skies, surrounded by gardens and trees. And furthermore, there will be airships. Yes, I definitely want airships in my future. Not preposterous Victorian steampunk zeppelins. No: we must have something hi-tech, something plausible. And I've recently figured out the technology-slash-justification for having them.
WARNING: The remainder of this blog post will be completely devoted to a discussion of sci-fi airships. The proceedings have been pretty geeky thus far, but from this point forward we are ratcheting things up exponentially to unprecedented levels of dorkitude. Buckle in.
OK: we know the design for your standard blimp or dirigible is about 95% big bag of gas, all for lifting that wee payload underneath. My airships will keep the ratio, but the big airtight lifty spheroid part isn't full of gas: it's completely solid, filled with some futuristic nano-fiber foam stuff – like styrofoam, but way stronger and waaaaay lighter. See, it's a lattice, composed mostly of empty space – but unlike styrofoam, where the empty space is filled with air, this is vacuum. It's a solid that's mostly nothing. So per-cubic-foot, the stuff has way more lift than hydrogen, the lightest element. It's a super energy-efficient way to travel. You expend zero fuel for lift, and unlike helium, you don't have to use power to compress and store and ship the nano-fiber. And, unlike helium, it never need replenishing. Once it's manufactured it lasts pretty much forever. You just chain it to the ground until you need it, so it doesn't float away.
Superlight materials already exist, and they are pretty cool. Check out this recent article on io9.com, touting the latest-and-lightest development, a carbon nanofiber called graphene.
The idea of using a confined vacuum for lift is hardly new, either. My good friend and sometimes writing partner Skot Christopherson pointed this out in an email to me:
"The idea of a vacuum lifted vehicle is over 300 years old! It would take some powerful sci-fi materials to solve the pressure barrier problem, but it's conceptually sound."
He sent along the wikipedia link to 17th-century plans for a "vacuum airship," as first proposed by Italian monk Francesco Lana de Terzi. In this craft, lift would be provided by hollow spheres of thin copper, evacuated of air. The flaw in the design is one of material strength. A metal "vacuum balloon" thin and light enough to be buoyant would also be crushed flat by external air pressure.
I responded to Skots email: I had known of Lana-Terzi's design. I'd seen that drawing somewhere when I was a kid, and thought of it again when thinking about my airships. Yes, my super-foam would have to be super-duper-strong to resist being crushed by the air outside it, and of course, sealed somehow, since it would be by nature porous.
As often happens in these exchanges, Skot got the final word:
"As long as we're running this gedanken* experiment, we're making a foamed substance with vacuum in the voids. You'd want to make it in outer space (lots of free vacuum there, no gravity making the foam settle) and out of a very light alloy, like lithium or beryllium. The PROBLEM here is you need to inject something to make this alloy "foam." You'd probably end up using very low-pressure helium (it lifts all by itself, is inert) unless the alloy is so radical it makes vacuum voids as it cools or something."
"The fun part is getting the large vacuum lifting body you made it back down to Earth. De-orbit it, and in vacuum it will fall FAST– then it will gently skip on the upper atmosphere and settle at it's own buoyancy level like a cork in water. Somebody will need to grab it and tie weights on."
Cool! Kudos to Skot, for some good gedanken.
*If you, like I, tried to suss the definition of gedanken from Skot's context, you might very well have decided it to be some kind of German epithet. As it turns out, it actually means "thought." A classic example of a gedanken experiment, in physics, is the one that has us imagine a man in an elevator accelerating through space in order to explain relativity theory.
DIY Sci-Fi
Sci-fi fans! Hollywood got you down? Are you drowning in the mainstream? Weary of TRANSFORMERS transforming? Of mugging movie stars dressed as superheroes? Do you despair at what passes for science fiction on the big screen?
Hell, maybe I'm projecting. Maybe you think all that stuff is awesome. It takes all kinds to make a world. That's why they make more than one flavor of ice cream.
Love or hate it, or love it and hate it, you can be more than a passive consumer of sci-fi film. Do what these guys did, and make some of your own!
Some of these films are unabashedly inspired by the mainstream aesthetic of Hollywood and Lucasfilm. Others serve as reactionary rebuttals. All substitute sweat and ingenuity for blockbuster budgets. Some are charmingly home-made in their look, others are polished productions that give Lucas a run for his money. This is DIY sci-fi.
These are labors of love: no studios and no investors. Budgets are shoestring, and often crowdfunded. Labor is often volunteer.
This article isn't a comprehensive list of DIY sci-fi, not by a long shot – just some interesting projects I happen to know of. I'd like to know about yours, too. My intention is to append this list over time. Feel free to add your links in the comments.
All I Think Of Is You (Short, 2012)
In this stylish and moody short, a widow is hounded by a stranger claiming to be her dead husband. It's currently doing well on the festival circuit, but you can see the first two minutes at writer/director Shad Clark's website. Poke around and you'll find some of his other videos, including an unsettling little diversion involving misuse of a safety razor. Shudder.
The American Astronaut (Feature, 2001)
Director Cory McAbee (lead singer of San Francisco cult musical act The Billy Nayer Show) cast himself as the lead in what RottenTomatoes.com described as "ERASERHEAD meets BUCK ROGERS by way of an MGM musical." See the trailer here. McAbee's singular vision took him to the Sundance Film Festival. Although, like McAbee, I live in the Bay Area, I've managed to miss every chance to see his film. What can I say? It's in the Netflix queue. [Update, April 4, 2014: It's also now available online for free from online distributor SnagFilms. Search the SnagFilms site or watch it here in this article on Indiewire.]
Bellflower (Feature, 2011)
This hallucinatory bromance depicts two guys preparing for an apocalypse they seem convinced is coming. How? By building a souped-up super car and a fucking FLAMETHROWER of course. It's broken hearts and brain injuries, it's geek culture meets machismo, and it will get under your skin. This debut feature played Sundance, is distributed by Oscilloscope and is probably a bit high-profile for this list. But the DIY aesthetic on display is undeniable, both in front of the camera and inside it: the filmmakers shot Bellflower on a home-made digital camera pieced together from vintage camera parts and Russian lenses.
La vie d'un chien (The Life of a Dog) (Short, 2005)
Would I be blogging about DIY sci-fi if I wasn't making some of my own? My story of a scientist and the serum that turns him into a canine is told in a montage of black-and-white stills. This technique allowed me to depict biological transformation and societal upheaval for a pittance, while serving as homage to Chris Marker's masterpiece La Jetée (DIY sci-fi from 1962!).
Microgravity (Short, 2006)
A tense, surreal thriller about an astronaut alone in orbit. Loneliness and boredom turn on a dime into claustrophobia, panic and fear of that cold, hard vacuum just outside the bulkhead. Beautifully, expressively shot. Great set design too. Watch the entire film, below:
Pig (Feature, 2011)
Pig begins with a somewhat familiar movie premise: amnesia. As the lead character tries to unravel the mystery of his own identity writer/director Henry Barrial demonstrates that sometimes it's less about premise and more about execution. Strong performances from the leads keep this slow-burner absorbing, right through to the revelatory final scenes. [Update, April 4, 2014: PIG is now available via many outlets including iTunes and Amazon. Or cut out the middleman and get it from the filmmakers.]
Primer (Feature, 2004)
Shane Carruth's debut feature marked the first time a science fiction film took the top prize at Sundance. It's very self-assured filmmaking. What begins as a low-key, brainy story of engineers who accidently invent a time machine becomes increasingly strange and confusing as the plot begins to loop back on itself. I have yet to meet anyone who claims to fully understand it. Rent it. Or go to Carruth's website for a digital download, and a preview of his second film, which looks to be even more disorienting.
Project Arbiter (Short, 2013)
It's World War II. The Nazis have invented an invisibility suit, and the Allies have to steal it! Who wouldn't want to see that movie? They just wrapped post, so you might be able to, very soon. Meanwhile, here's the trailer and the website.
Project London (Feature, 2013)
It doesn't get more DIY than this! Chockablock with cool vehicles and giant robots, this futuristic feature out of Seattle, Washington was birthed by an all-volunteer crew using Blender, a free, open-source 3D software. Currently in post. Will it be any good?! Check out the trailer and Project London website and see what you think.
The Third Letter (Short, 2010)
Both director Grzegorz Jonkajtys and producer Bastiann Koch are SFX pros with serious industry credentials. It bleeds from every frame of this tale of futuristic dystopia.
Radio Free Steve (Feature, 2000)
This "1980s vision of the future" is like BELLFLOWER's idiot trailer-trash cousin. It's your basic post-apocalyptic road comedy, with nods to DAMNATION ALLEY and containing a crazy "lost film" backstory about the supposed director, one "Lars Von Biers." Loose, profane and occasionally quite funny. The producer somehow managed to secure songs for a soundtrack that includes tracks by Luna and Boards of Canada. Watch the NSFW trailer here.
Radio Free Albemuth (Feature, 2010)
This indie feature based on one Philip K. Dick novel which is apparently so weird Hollywood hasn't found a way to make an action movie out of it. I have yet to see it but it should be noted RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH has earned the approval of hardcore Dick fans and the Dick family estate.
They're Made Out Of Meat (Short, 2005)
After an extensive survey of planet Earth's dominant species, an alien reports his astonishing findings. A clever staging of the clever (and much-circulated) short story by author Terry Bisson. Watch it!

Rural Vermont Raw Milk Meetings
and 2012 Raw Milk Producer Survey
Dear Members & Friends,
Rural Vermont is reaching out to our entire network to help us locate all raw milk producers in Vermont. Rural Vermont is seeking input for the 2012 Raw Milk Producer Survey, described below, which will greatly help us move forward in our campaign to advocate for improvements to the Raw Milk Law (Act 62).
In the coming weeks, we will be hosting regional "Milk Meetings" to help raw milk producers prepare for inspection by the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, voice their opinions about ways in which the raw milk law could be improved, and to network and share a meal with other raw dairy farmers. The first gathering is on January 31st in Hinesburg, followed by four additional meetings around the state. Scroll down for additional dates and details.
If you are a raw milk consumer, please make sure that your farmer is aware of Rural Vermont's upcoming surveys and meetings.
Raw Milk Producers Survey Information Needed
Rural Vermont has been at the forefront of advancing farmers' right to sell raw milk and has been given the responsibility of reporting raw milk sales data to the Vermont Legislature. Now we need your help. The survey includes questions about 2012 sales, as well as issues related to the current raw milk law. Please complete the Rural Vermont 2012 Raw Milk Producers Survey today.
No matter the size of your milking operation or the length of time you have been milking, we want to hear from you. Also, if you have just recently stopped selling raw milk, we're especially interested to hear about any impediments you may have experienced. All identifying information included in the survey will remain confidential.
Your information will help us communicate to Vermont legislators that raw milk provides significant economic opportunities for Vermont farmers. We realize that there are many challenges that still need to be addressed, so please complete your survey today and help us bring attention to these issues.
Rural Vermont Raw Milk Meetings
Rural Vermont has been informed by the Vermont Agency of Agriculture's Dairy Section and Animal Health Division that they will be resuming inspections of farms selling raw milk direct to consumers. The agency's stated purpose is "to ensure that they are in compliance with the statutes enacted several years ago" when the Raw Milk Law (Act 62) was passed in 2009. You can read materials related to the Agency of Agriculture's inspection protocol and animal health requirements on the Agency's website.
In response to the Agency of Agriculture's plans to ramp up inspections of raw milk dairies, we will be hosting several regional milk meetings. Farmers can expect to learn tips for simple and inexpensive ways to comply with the law, as well as the opportunity to offer input about what changes to the current raw milk law would be most helpful to raw dairy producers.
The first meeting will be held in Hinesburg from 11am – 3pm on Thursday, January 31st with a potluck lunch. Rural Vermont members attend at no charge, $5 fee for non-members. For exact location, RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com or call (802) 223-7222.
Similar meetings will be held on February 7th in Randolph Center, February 21st in South Wheelock, and dates to-be-determined in southeastern Vermont and Poultney. Stay tuned for more info at http://www.ruralvermont.org.

These pictures were - as usual - taken while walking around the neighborhood and running some errands. I especially enjoyed taking a nice walk in Winter Park where I haven't been for quite a while. The Christmas lights and decorations are off already everywhere though, and it does feel a little sad, doesn't it? Can you believe we're almost at the end of January? Where is that crazy time going? Enjoy your new week and make these days count!

The NES Classic Edition was released on November 11, 2016 and the world almost burned. Well, OK, that's quite the exaggeration BUT they did fly off the shelf faster than the Cabbage Patch Kids in the early 80's. So fast in fact that prices soon skyrocketed to well over $200.00 USD when the masses tried to find them on the open market. With the original price tag of $59.99 USD, no doubt nostalgic gamers felt angered and slighted.
Enter the SNES Mini. Built with the same concept in mind the SNES Mini will feature many of the same features: preloaded games, miniscule hardware footprint and affordable base price. The console is set to begin the pre-order phase of launch in August.
With the demand already reaching a fever pitch for this retro console, if your inner-90's kid wishes to buy one, you will no doubt have to pre-order or play the odds in finding one.
Does this guarantee you'll get one? Maybe, maybe not. Nintendo has promised that due to the popularity of the NES Classic, more units of the SNES Mini are being shipped with this launch to your nearest big box retailer.
Now you're playing with power. Well, not exactly. Now, you're playing the waiting game.

I have a Variability chart with two x-axis items (i.e. NomAxisBox and NomAxisBox(2)). I need to rotate the x-axis item names perpendicular/vertical in NomAxisBox(2) in order to properly display the item names vertically. However, JMP seems to auto-truncate the perpendicular item names beyond 11 characters long (truncate meaning 3 asterisks in the middle of the name). In my case, the names are 14 characters long.
Question: anyone know if it's possible to send a NomAxisBox a message to control its height (or size)?
What's odd, is that the NomAxisBox's height can easily be made longer/taller using a mouse and then of course the vertical names display fine. Seems like a NomAxisBox's height should be scriptable. I've even tried NomAxisBox(size(500,180)) as shown in JSL 9.0.3 manual page 205. No luck. thx... dj
I might add: JMP 9.0.3 knows to auto scale the font inside the NomAxisBox dependent on the number of items being displayed (nice feature). However, if you have less items, the font naturally gets larger, and as it does the NomAxisBox's height does not auto increase to display the item's full length if more than 11 characters long (and hence one gets this truncation effect).
There are no labels assigned to this post.

Waterloo. Lord Byron. Appreciation by P.S.Remesh Chandran.
Editor, Sahyadri Books & Bloom Books, Trivandrum.
By PSRemeshChandra, 26th Apr 2011. Short URL http://nut.bz/3.ub8mva/
Posted in Wikinut Poetry
The maps of Europe were drawn and redrawn many times during the Eighteenth and the Nineteenth centuries. Countries became nations and empires which in no time were reverted back to nations and countries. It was not uncommon for people of those times to lay down spoons and forks in the dead of night and take muskets and pistols to brave war. Lord Byron in his famous poem portrays such a scene from the European arena.
Political thought should be followed by political action.
George Gordon Noel Lord Byron was born in England in the Eighteenth century and lived through the Nineteenth century. He was a lame person and so he could not take part in the active moments of his nation. Because of this handicap, he possessed exceptional vigour, strength, courage and force at least in his writings. He believed that political thought should immediately be followed by political action. He had firm political opinions which could not be uttered in his century which naturally made him to turn himself into an irresistible revolutionary poet. His name stands brilliant and great among the star line of English poets. The Vision of Judgment, The Prisoner of Chillon and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage are his most famous poems.
Spoon and fork lain down to take musket and pistol.
Vast Belgian halls where rich and famous assembled
Childe Harold means the child of Harrow University which was the poet himself. Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a long poem in which Byron describes his European travels. There are perhaps only two other famous poems of the like in English literature. They are Matthew Arnold's 'The Scholar Gipsy' and William Wordsworth's 'Tintern Abbey Revisited'. These three constitute the University Trio in English poetry. Waterloo is a famous section from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.
The war of English and the French enters Belgium in the dead of night.
In Belgium he attended a midnight ball of the rich and famous in Brussels, the capital city. It was at that time that the French and English opened war which soon reached Belgium. The midnight revelry was broke down by cannon fire but instead of the expected chaos, Byron could not help but admire what he saw of the quickness with which the Scottish soldiers there responded to the sudden attack. Due to graphic descriptions of contradicting scenes before and after the outbreak of sudden war, this part of the poem became memorably fine and specially noted in the poem.
Heavy cannon fire shatters the sound of midnight revelry.
Battle in Brussels. Formed in ranks of war.
All the brave and beautiful in Brussels were assembled in that ball room in a large mansion to celebrate night. There were not less than a thousand people gathered in that vast hall. Lamps shone bright everywhere and soft music filled the atmosphere. It was not just opulence and extravaganza of the rich and powerful. Belgians thought and did everything great and magnificent. Electricity in the atmosphere could be touched with hands. Loving eyes exchanged glances. All went merry as a marriage bell until the deep sound of a cannon struck.
Youth and Pleasure chase the night with flying feet.
Austro-Bavarian-French Battery Charge.
In the midst of the revelry, most of them did not recognize it to be sound of French guns. Some said it was wind and some said it was chariot passing through the stony street. The midnight revelry continued. People had decided to sleep not till morn. Youth and Pleasure had decided to chase the night with flying feet. Personification of Pleasure here is delightful and apt, resembling Milton's personification of Laughter in his University poem L'Allegro. The aristocrats, government officers, soldiers, students, lovers and lazy personages all reverted back to merriment and carnal festivity. Then the heavy sound was heard once again, this time nearer and louder. Now there was no doubt it was the opening roar of cannons.
Midnight carnival turns into a carnelian carnage.
The noble Duke of Brunswick was sitting in a niche in the festivity hall, passively nursing his drinks. He was fighting on the part of the English and had anger towards the French for taking away his power and authority. He was a soldier head to heel, was always alert and was the first to recognize the sound as a cannon's roar. When he said it and said it was near, the others laughed. But he knew the sound too well which had stretched his father, a great Chieftain, on a bed of blood years ago. His desire for long awaited vengeance was immediately roused; he rushed into the field outside and fell fighting foremost as a hero. The Duke of Brunswick's reaction to the sound of cannon heard in the distance was a forewarning to the massacre and carnelian carnage that was to follow. War was at their door step. Byron's description of the reverberating din of merriment in the hall and the heart-rending rush to his death by the Duke of Brunswick are equally classical.
Love or lust or wine, the Scottish soldiers are duty-bound.
Byron Abroad. His Reception at Missolonghi.
It is interesting to note how this sudden crisis affected the Scottish soldiers present. Death of the Duke of Brunswick confirmed that it was not a joke but actual war. No one had thought such awful a morn could rise upon such sweet a night. Dancing stopped and partners parted. Some wept, some trembled, some sighed and all were pale. Many doubted whether they would ever meet again. The civilians all were dumb struck and silent, but the Scottish soldiers in the assembling were the first to recover. Love or lust or wine, they proved once more that they were duty-bound.
Squadrons and chariots swiftly forming in ranks of war.
Reenactment of Battle of Waterloo 1815.
They soon began to prepare for the war. There were hurried movements everywhere. Horses were quickly mounted; squadrons and chariots rode out with impetuous speed and all swiftly formed in ranks of war. Horns and trumpets were sounded which roused all soldiers into action. Famous Scottish war songs trumpeted through Scottish bagpipes resounded through the columns and ranks of the armies and thrilled even the enemies. The famous song, 'Cameron's Gathering' rose high and wild and echoing through the Albion's Hills, and reached the Anglo-Saxons as well as the French. In no time the soldiers were marching away to the battle field.
The Ardennes Great Woods shed tear drops over the unreturning brave.
Ardennes shed tears over the unreturning brave.
Byron stood apart and watched the soldiers marching away to Waterloo. This last part of this portion of the poem is his reflections on the soldiers marching away to their death and glory. It is not possible that many of them may return alive to their land. As the English army marched away through the Ardennes Great Woods, trees waved their branches and shed tear drops over the unreturning brave. It was nature's send-off and lamentation for her dearest of sons.
Morning noon and night, and morning day again.
Artificial hill raised on the spot of Waterloo.
This lamentation of the woods is a fine and memorable scene in the poem, an achievement of Byron's poetical diction and imagination. The brave soldiers who are now treading the grass might be dead and lying cold and low beneath the same grass before evening. The descriptions go through the calendar of activities of the day: Morning, evening, midnight, morning and day again; how quick and unexpected was the transformation from the peak of happiness to the depth of distress! But death would show no distinctions to man or beast. When the thunder clouds of the war clear away, the Earth would be uniformly covered with dead soldiers from both sides. Nature shows her kindness and justice by allowing the rider and horse and friend and foe to share and enjoy the same red burial ground which is grand and majestic after a war.

Bolt takes 100m at Jamaican Trials
World record holder Usain Bolt cruised to victory in the men's 100m at the Jamaica Senior Athletics Championships in Kingston on Friday evening.
Bolt who posted 10.03 seconds in winning the first of the semi-finals pulled ahead mid-race to post 9.94 seconds for victory ahead of his Racer's Track Club team mate Kemar Bailey-Cole in 9.98 seconds and Nickel Ashmeade in 9.99 seconds.
The story of the evening however was former world record holder Asafa Powell who failed to make a Jamaican Worl Championships team for the first time in his career after finishing seventh in the event in a time of 10.22 secnds.
Powell has been struggling with a hamstring injury since last year's Olympic Games in London where he pulled up in the men's 100m final.
The athlete had earlier run 10.05 seconds to finish third in his semifinal heat.
Kerron Stewart won the 100m at the Jamaican championships for the first time after a brilliant run pulling away from MVP's Sherone Simpson in the final metres to win in a time of 10.96 ahead of Simpson's 11.03.
Schillonie Calvert of Racers was third in a time of 11.07 seconds.

Maya Angelou's poem "Still I Rise" is a type of lyric poetry. The lyric poem expresses the speaker's feelings about a situation or subject and may or may not rhyme. In "Still I Rise," Angelou writes about themes of blackness, femininity and resilience.
Angelou's "Still I Rise" is considered to be one of her most beloved poems. The poem explores issues of race, issues of sexism and finding strength from adversity and failure. The rhythms of the poem are deeply influenced by Angelou's experiences with the Southern African-American churches of her youth. In 1994, decades after it was published, the poem was featured in a television commercial for the United Negro College Fund's 50th anniversary.

Thompson & Morgan is delighted to have been recognised in the prestigious Best New Plant 2017 category at this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show for a newly developed and very different type of hibiscus, HibisQs ® Petit™ Orange.
Chosen from an impressive list of finalists, HibisQs® Petit™ Orange had previously been awarded the 'IPM Innovation Award 2017' in the Flowering Pot Plant category at IPM Essen in January.
"Everyone at Thompson & Morgan is delighted that HibisQs® Petit™ Orange has been placed in the top three of the Best New Plant category. It's great to see a stunning exotic plant such as this being given the recognition it deserves. Its flowers really have to be seen to be believed!" said Paul Hansord, Thompson & Morgan's commercial director.
From new breeding and selected from tens of thousands of seedlings, HibisQs® Petit™ Orange differs from other traditional hibiscus with its smaller, vibrant orange, bicoloured flowers, its naturally compact habit and its small and shiny leaves. The plant is aimed at consumers who want a more minimalist, but still exotic product that is suitable for display in the home or on the patio or balcony during the summer months. Flowers are plentiful and long-lasting, blooming from May until the first frosts, while the shiny, dark green foliage provides the perfect backdrop and is an added decorative bonus.
'HibisQs® Petit™ Orange produces twice as many flowers as traditional Hibiscus and its blooms last for twice as long'

I say prisoners unite n let's have more disturbances cos grayling is fizzing people n it's time to unite or nothing changes. Hit them where it hurts. Their pockets cos conservatives r greedy n can't treat us like animals n expect changes. 23 he bang up is in humane n breeds hatred for got. I hope I never go jail but if I did I would riot to make point. Why r we so fizzing soft. We r English. VasReplyDelete
Thanks for your contribution, Vas. My main concern over prison riots is that it's usually the cons who get injured, either by fellow prisoners or during Tornado Team operations to restore order. The main issue is to improve conditions inside.Delete
My mate ran a guy over in weston over car space n looking at murder charge if guy dies. I can't get his number horfil won't give me it. Need his dob. It's mad. He is probably in a world of pain. I hasten to add the other guy bit his nose off first then John ran him over according to paper. I don't excuse his actions but it could be any of us. I have a temper n always said anyone can kill someone if provoked all it takes is a bad punch n an unlucky moment of madness.. vasReplyDelete
Hmp Bristol. Any advice vas. U can read about John in Bristol evening postReplyDelete
Hi Vas, you can try to Prisoner Location Service: https://www.gov.uk/find-prisoner. In fact, even if you don't have his date of birth it should still work. You apply, then the prison will ask your mate if he is happy to have you contact him. If he agrees, then you'll get his details.
To be honest, unless he has a very common name - ie John Smith - a letter addressed to him at the prison should get there even if you don't have his prison number.
OMFG...the book parcel ban has been lifted and deemed unlawful!ReplyDelete
I know!! Bloody brilliant!! I cheered when I heard it on the radio at work. Another victory over Failing Grayling.Delete
It's one more success in the battle to return real local discretion to governors - powers that Chris Grayling grabbed with the new IEP scheme. The blanket ban on steel string guitars has also gone, along with the crazy 12 book per prison limit. Lots more battles still to win, though!Delete
Thanks alexReplyDelete
Now artists must join the fight against daft prison bans.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment. I have come across several cases where talented visual artists have been banned from obtaining art supplies including canvas and painting materials.
In one case - in a Cat-D - a Koestler Trust awarding winning artist who had previously had paintings in exhibitions was suddenly informed that he was no longer permitted to purchase canvases. He was devastated and I just hoped that we weren't going to see some horror - as shown in the film Escape from Alcatraz - where he self-harmed. Fortunately he didn't, but the sheer sadism of the decision was shocking, especially in an open prison!
My son is currently in HMP Northumberland. The problem there seems to be understaffing. Prisoner's are locked up for most of the weekend with nothing to do.
"Disturbances" are taking place all the time because of the tension. Surely the government should concentrate on giving the prisoners worthwhile things to do even if its manual labour just to get rid of their boredom and give them some sort of exercise to relieve the depressing scenario of being incarcerated.
Thanks for your comments and for sharing your son's experiences with us. You are quite right when you raise the issue of understaffing. It is a curse across most of the prison estate at the moment. However, in my personal view that is made worse by the recruitment, especially in the private sector jails, of people with no experience of the prison environment. It is this process of 'de-professionalising' our public services - especially prisons - that is making a very bad situation into a potential catastrophe in which people risk being serious injured or even killed.
The present government made a great show of being 'tough' on prisoners a while ago and this was supposed to include making inmates do what was called "purposeful activities" rather than lying on their bunks all day watching TV. This turned out to be a whopping lie as they then proceeded to reduce frontline staff numbers to the point that many inmates can't access work or education, so what are they forced to do? Lie on their bunks and watch daytime TV all day!
In my experience, most prisoners (not all, it's true) would much prefer to be out of their cells doing something, even if that is working as a wing cleaner, in the laundry or serving food. Activities keep inmates occupied and really help to pass the time more quickly. The single greatest failure of the prison system at this moment is to have effectively abandoned any real pretence to be supporting rehabilitation in our jails. Being warehoused in a concrete box does nothing for anyone, except maybe the for-profit companies who run the private sector prisons on a shoestring.
your jails are a joke , you havent got a fucking clue !!!!!

Dr. Qian Wu is a Project Scientist in the High Altitude Observatory of the National Center for Atmospheric Research specializing in observations of mesospheric and thermospheric winds. His balloon-borne, space-borne, and ground based Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) instruments are designed and built to study gravity waves and tides.
Dr. Wu is the PI for the NASA high altitude balloon FPI project called HIWIND, which is the first balloon-borne instrument for thermospheric wind measurements. HIWIND had a very sucessful flight in June 2011 and obtained critically needed daytime thermospheric winds. The results from HIWIND have changed the our view of the high latitude thermosphere circulation. He will fly the HIWIND again in Antarctica in coming years with support from NASA.
Dr. Wu also operates ground based FPI from the Artic to the Antarctica to measure mesospheric and thermospheric winds and study upper atmsopheric dynamics. He is also a PI for an FPI project to deploy instrument in Africa, Canada, China (in collaboration with Chinese Insittutes), and Antarctica.
Dr. Wu also is the PI for the NASA project to develope a new lower boundary condition for the NCAR-HAO Thermospheric Ionosphere Electrodynamic General Criculation Model (TIEGCM). TIEGCM is a community model which is wider used by researchers around the world. The new lower boundary condition is based TIMED satellite observations of the lower thermosphere migrating and nonmigrating tide variations. The new lower boundary condition provides more realistic forcing of the tides from the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. New study of by Yamazaki et al. [2013] has shown great improvement of the TIEGCM simulation of the ionospheric current due to tides.

"Doomsday Scenario" Looming for Colorado Higher Education?
DENVER - Higher tuition bills, crowded classes and fewer course options. That's one scenario facing students in Colorado's state-funded universities and colleges if state aid to the schools is cut in half. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education calls it the "doomsday scenario" - a worst-case outline of the potential impacts of further budget cuts.
Terry Scanlon with the Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute says colleges - especially community colleges - are seeing higher enrollment during the recession, increasing the need for more instructors and classes.
"The math doesn't add up on operating our public colleges and universities. Something has to change. If we want to continue to keep the doors open and serve the number of students we're serving, the solution needs to be more revenue."
This fiscal year, higher education received just over $700 million in state and federal funds. The commission will make its case supporting Gov. Ritter's proposed 2011-2012 budget, which limits higher education cuts to about $89 million, at a meeting with lawmakers on Nov. 30.
This month, the commission recommended actually increasing state aid - even in a time of revenue shortfalls - to help make college more affordable to minority and low-income students. Scanlon says that higher education can be an economic catalyst.
"What interest groups are most interested in seeing a well-funded higher education system? The Chamber and large business interests. They see the connection between having a high-quality college and university system and the growth of high-quality jobs in Colorado."
He points out that this is part of a larger revenue crisis facing all aspects of state government, and warns that cutting higher education funding further could devastate communities where colleges are located, such as Alamosa, Lamar or Fort Collins.
"We'd be laying off people in communities all across Colorado. These colleges and universities are the economic engines of those communities."
More than a 250,000 students attend public colleges and universities at 26 campuses throughout Colorado.

Fixed rate loans have guaranteed interest rates, which means your budget won't be impacted by fluctuations in the market. So if you like Queensland Country Credit Union's competitive rates, then one of its car loans could be for you.
Like many fixed rate products out there, these loans don't have a redraw facility to dip into extra repayments. On the plus side, you can pay off your debt early without being charged a penalty fee. Sound like your match? Read on to find out next whether you should opt for the secured or unsecured version...
Secured loans have lower interest rates, so if you want to pay less in interest and don't mind signing extra paperwork, then go for it! Keep in mind, it will cast a smaller net on the car you can buy though, as you'll be looking at vehicles aged under 3 years only. If you'd rather own an older vehicle (with a price tag of up to $20k), pick the Queensland Country Credit Union unsecured loan instead.
A few factors come into this, like what you earn and your history of handling credit. With Queensland Country Credit Union, secured loans can range from $1k to $50k. If you want to borrow more than that, have a chat with them and they may agree to lend you more, on a loan term of 5+ years. When it comes to unsecured car loans, you can only borrow up to $20k.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Choose a frequency that will match your budget nicely.
From 1 to 7 years with a secured loan, and up to 5 if your loan is unsecured. Don't let these numbers slow you down, as you can always repay your debt early without incurring a penalty fee.
That's right, you can make as many extra repayments as you like! Just be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. After all, you won't have access to the funds via a redraw facility.
Yep, another nifty thing about Queensland Country Credit Union car loans, is that you don't get penalised in fees for wiping off your debt earlier than required.
Good question...there isn't one. If that's a dealbreaker, we can help. Use our car loan hub and browse through up to 200 products in the market!
Absolutely, you can even finance a car under 3 years old using its new car loan. Older vehicles must be purchased with an unsecured loan instead.
You may be charged a late payment fee. But the stakes are higher if you miss too many. You could tarnish your credit rep, default on the loan, and your car could even get repossessed (with secured loans). Avoid this happening by setting up direct payments from a bank account that gets topped up regularly, so you can "set and forget". If it so happens that you begin to experience financial hardship while paying off your loan, let Queensland Country Credit Union know ASAP.
Simple really. You can apply online, over the phone, or at a branch. To give you every chance of car loan approval, have the following things ready to supply Queensland Country Credit Union:
Once you've applied, the turnaround should be quick. Sit tight, and within a couple of business days, your shiny new wheels could be the talk of your street!

Bell jury has been out nearly as long as corruption trial itself
The amount of time jurors in the Bell corruption case have spent behind closed doors is approaching the length of the criminal trial for the six former council members accused in the case.
Tuesday marks the 17th day of juror deliberations, and there has been no indication that a verdict is near.
The panel of seven women and five men is attempting to determine whether Luis Artiga, Victor Bello, George Cole, Oscar Hernandez, Teresa Jacobo and George Mirabal misappropriated public funds by taking salaries of up to $100,000, paychecks that were beefed up by serving on city boards and authorities that rarely met.
FULL COVERAGE: Bell corruption trial
Handed the case Feb. 22, the jury appears to have struggled to determine whether the salaries, although excessive, were legal.
On Friday, jurors requested a read-back of testimony that appeared to show they were attempting to consider the defendants as individuals.
After the four-week trial, jury deliberations were slowed when a juror was dismissed for misconduct and the panel appeared deadlocked. An alternate juror was named, and since then the panel has had multiple questions and requested testimony read-backs.
Legal experts say the general rule of thumb when it comes to deliberations tends to be one day for every week of testimony. Anything longer, veteran defense attorney Paul Wallin said, is a strong sign of a hung jury or at least a deadlock on some counts.

To Whom It May Concern (or not):
I'm going to indulge in a bit of rambling today. It seems I'm feeling a little lost, no not lost, but disoriented. Sometimes the Earth seems to not be spinning just right on its axis so that I get a little topsy-turvy. In my reading about butterflies I learned that it's probably some kind of magnetic thing that guides Monarch butterflies in their sometimes thousands-of-miles-long migrations. Well, if a butterfly can have some kind of magnetic thing then why can't I? ;-) And though I don't really know much about any of that stuff I have read that the Earth's magnetic poles are shifting and that they have always done this. Anyway, whatever. Unfortunately, I'll probably never learn exactly why I feel this way sometimes.
I've had several posts started, but I can't seem to finish any of them yet. Primarily, I've been thinking about Cognitive Pyschology and Spirituality, Feminism (pros and cons, but mostly cons), the problems with Anthropic reasoning, Biological vs. Environmental Influences, Tricksters in History, and Magic Words and Alchemy. Is your head spinning yet? Mine is. LOL Maybe it's more than my poor little brain can handle.
Anyway, I just know there is some thread of something that will lead me back to my point. Whatever that is. You see, I'm so disoriented that I can't even decide if I need to go forewards, backwards, up, down, or what.
It's raining today. It's a nice steady rain, and while I was soaking in a hot bath (I hurt my back over the weekend) I opened the window over the tub so I could listen to the rainfall. I wish I could say it offered some relief or insight, but it didn't. It just sounded nice. Even Nature is ignoring me today.
And even writing this rambling piece of nothing I'm losing my way. David left very early this morning to go to Florida for a few days with his dad and brother. The disorientation isn't related to that because it was happening previous to that. I hope he has fun. He rarely gets to take any kind of break like that. And it's important now because his dad just had colon cancer surgery a few weeks ago. They got it all, but he's starting some chemo after he gets back as a precaution.
I've got some kind of spider or bug bite on my foot. It could be a brown recluse bite, but I didn't see what did it. I've had a couple of bites like this before. It's very painful and a little swollen. It will heal but leave a scar like the others. I wonder if I get bitten enough will I be like Spiderman? That would probably suck. Superheroes have hard lives. ;-) So does the Trickster. Both do tend to get beat up a lot, either from bad guys or people who don't like what you have for them. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, they say. I don't know if it's really possible not to. Be kind to your critics if you can shut them up that way, but if you can't, beat the shit out of them. LOL It doesn't pay to be moderate with some people because they'll just stab you in the back next chance they get. Et tu, Brute?
Well, it's time for me to go pick up the kids.

This summer has been great, and blogging has made it all the better. But the time has come for me to say goodbye and wish all who've come the best. It's off to school for me. Perhaps one day I'll revive DebaterBrawl in the spirit of free speech. For now, I'm sure there's another zealot just like me willing to run the torch.

I've lived in New York City just over two years now. And no matter what neighborhood I've actually held residence, I've always felt my home was Manhattan Chinatown. I get my groceries there, I volunteer there, I eat there, I hang out there... and yes, I even game there. Chinatown Fair Video Arcade, or more colloquially known as the Chinatown Arcade, has been a fixture of the lower Manhattan neighborhood for quite some time. In fact, it's purported to be the oldest arcade in New York City, and also one of the last old-school Japanese-style arcades on the east coast.
I've always enjoyed dropping into Chinatown Arcade after a meal or between grocery stops, and I've even met some of my best friends at that arcade. So it made me really happy when Kotaku posted a recent story on how the hole-in-the-wall arcade has slowly become a safe-haven for a burgeoning queer gaming population:
"It's a friendly environment," said Amir Santiago,18. Along with Gabriel Cortez, 17, and Pedro Villalta, 17, he frequents Chinatown Fair at least three times a week, often coming after all three finish school. Cortez and Villalta come to the arcade to play Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) though it could look more like a practice routine. They both are capable of breezing through songs on the highest difficulty. Santiago admitted that he comes for the fighting games, in particular Tekken 6, but doesn't mind watching his friends play DDR. In between games, Cortez often sits on Santiago's lap. His boyfriend embraces him lovingly. "Teens feel safe to be openly gay here," Cortez later informed me. They're not the only ones to take liberty with the arcade's open environment. Queer and transgender gamers express themselves without inhibition, even during the arcades busiest hours.While I can't definitely say that Chinatown Arcade is the font of queer acceptance that the post seems to suggest. I do know that I've hung out with almost all of my gaymer friends in New York at Chinatown Arcade. If you're a native New Yorker and never been, make a point to stop by and offer up some quarters as patronage. The age of the arcade is passing and these last outposts of geekdom need to be preserved, lest all we are left with are the Dave and Busters of the world... *shiver*

News Round-Up (1/10/10) – The Dangers of Detention: Illness and Death in U.S. Custody
January 10, 2010 3 comments
Sarah S. Willen
Just as we were dotting 'i's and crossing 't's for this latest news round-up, Nina Bernstein's front-page article in today's New York Times, "Officials Hid Truth About Immigrant Deaths in Jail," hammered home the risks and dangers of being ill or injured in a United States immigration prison. The piece foregrounds the 2007 deaths – in ICE custody – of Nery Romero, originally from El Salvador, and Boubacar Bah, originally from Guinea.
Bernstein's reporting was facilitated by the recent release of thousands of pages of confidential documents – among them memos, draft reports, "talking points," and Blackberry messages – to the NYT and the ACLU under the Freedom of Information Act. Read more…
