Someone You Love: Coming to a Gulag Near YouPosted on Apr 2, 2012By Chris Hedges (Page 3) "You are unable to say that [such a book] consisting of political speech could not be captured under [NDAA section] 1021?" the judge asked. "We can't say that," Torrance answered. "Are you telling me that no U.S. citizen can be detained under 1021?" Forest asked. "That's not a reasonable fear," the government lawyer said. Advertisement Square, Site wide "We have not said anything about that …" Torrance answered. "What do you think it means?" the judge asked. "Give me an example that distinguishes between direct and indirect support. Give me a single example." "We have not come to a position on that," he said. "So assume you are a U.S. citizen trying not to run afoul of this law. What does it [the phrase] mean to you?" the judge said. "I couldn't offer any specific language," Torrance answered. "I don't have a specific example." There are now 1,271 government agencies and 1,931 private companies that work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States, The Washington Post reported in a 2010 series by Dana Priest and William M. Arken. There are 854,000 people with top-secret security clearances, the reporters wrote, and in Washington, D.C., and the surrounding area 33 building complexes for top-secret intelligence work are under construction or have been built since September 2011. Investigative reporter James Bamford wrote in the latest issue of Wired magazine that the National Security Agency is building the largest spy center in the country in Bluffdale, Utah, as part of a secret NSA surveillance program code-named "Stellar Wind." Bamford noted that the NSA has established listening posts throughout the country to collect, store and examine billions of email messages and phone calls. If we lose this case it will hand to the vast network of operatives and agencies that investigate and demonize anyone who is not subservient to the corporate state the power to detain citizens and strip them of due process. It will permit the security and surveillance state to brand as terrorists any nonviolent protesters and movements, along with social and political critics, that in the government's imagination have any trace of connection to al-Qaida or "associated forces." If the National Defense Authorization Act is not reversed it will plunge us into despotism, leaving us without a voice, trapped in eddies of fear and terror, unsure of what small comment, what small action, could be misinterpreted to push us out of our jobs or send us to jail. This is the future before us. And we better fight back now while we can.

By DHFabian, April 2, 2012 at 8:13 pm Link to this comment All lofty speeches aside, America is its economic system. Using social and economic policies, the Republican Party has a attacked the US, shredding the social safety net, effectively pitting Americans against each other while redistributing our collective wealth upward. We have spent over 30 years paying corporations to export our jobs, and instituted a survival-of-the-fittest national policy. These policies, combined with our government's zeal for attacking foreign countries, have caused more damage to the US than any foreign terrorist organizations could hope to achieve. Isn't it time to declare Republicans, or at least the richest few, terrorists? |

Via FrumForum, fun stuff from the Washington Post:
Asked for single-word characterizations of the budget negotiations, the top words in the poll — conducted in the days before an apparent deal was struck — were "ridiculous," "disgusting" and "stupid." Overall, nearly three-quarters of Americans offered a negative word; just 2 percent had anything nice to say.
"Ridiculous" was the most frequently mentioned word among Democrats, Republicans and independents alike. It was also No. 1 in an April poll about the just-averted government shutdown. In the new poll, the top 27 words are negative ones, with "frustrating," "poor," "terrible," "disappointing," "childish," "messy" and "joke" rounding out the top 10.
Let's tie this into our recent discussions of how the media reports the news:
You shouldn't have to follow politics obsessively to know the objective fact that the Republican Party is full of resentments but devoid of policy views, while the Democratic Party is a centrist, empiricist, reactive party.
Alas, that's what our media demands of its consumers.
rule #1 of MSM punditry is that critiquing the choreography and possible electoral consequences & motivations of political actors always takes precedence over policy consequences. (Rule #2: "Both sides are too extreme." This rule holds regardless of how many sides there are, and regardless of how extreme any given sides actually are).
Republicans have been blatantly and unrelentingly unreasonable for the better part of a decade or three. Walker claims blithely that they "look[] unreasonable to independents" because of the debt ceiling, but I kind of doubt that's true. People live busy lives; they shouldn't have to pore over press statements and newspaper articles in order to determine that the GOP is engaged in an insane, perhaps unconstitutional jihad to crater federal spending for no good reason.
What's more, if you rely only on the best, most respected newspapers in the country for your news, you probably still don't realize that's what's going on. Newspapers long ago abandoned reporting accurate facts for reporting what press people from "both sides" say.
So, yes, "Washington" looks silly and bad. But we know that people have better stuff to do than to parse out exactly who's doing what in Washington, and that whoever's holding the presidency gets punished for a weak economy.
In that context– and given that, as we know from the past decade-plus, that Republicans have no policy beliefs, just partisanship– they have every incentive to continue to take hostages and almost blow up the world, over and over again, as long as there's a Democrat in the White House.
The takeaway, from Mose Allison:

Mark Moseley has enjoyed a brilliant football career. In 1982, he was voted the National Football League's Most Valuable Player – the first time in the NFL's 75-year history that a kicker has ever been nominated or elected to such a prestigious position. The holder of numerous NFL kicking records, he has recently become eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame.
Mark began his football career in 1970, when he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. He played for the Eagles for one year before returning to his home state of Texas, where he played for the Houston Oilers for nearly two years.
Mark Moseley came to the Washington Redskins in 1974, where he became an All-Pro and was so honored four times. In 1983, he set a single season scoring record of 161 points. He led the NFL in scoring four separate seasons, which placed him sixth on the all-time scoring list at that time. Mark also kicked 300 field goals in his career, placing him fifth on the NFL's ALL-TIME scoring list.
After leaving Washington in 1985, Mark Moseley finished his career in Cleveland...

I am at my wits end. I had a new GDO installed and the sensors will NOT stay aligned. I have tried everything, including a laser level. I was told that I could tape the sensors together, eye to eye, and that would allow them to "think" everything was aligned. This hasn't worked either. PLEASE HELP! I don't need the sensors as I have no children, etc. and will be happy to put them back on if I ever sell my house. Any thoughts? Thank you so much! Greg |
Follow-Up Postings:
There is absolutely no way to bypass the sensors. You are going to have to figure out what is happening. Are the brackets tight? Do you store anything next to the brackets? |
Hi Don, I have tried everything, the brackets are tight, there is absolutely nothing in the way, I have cleaned the sensor optics, etc. They re-aligned themselves one cold morning and then they were mis-aligned by the time I got home and that was the end of it. I have put them 6" apart to see if I could get the lights to come on and nothing happened. The light on the opener comes on occasionally when the door is open, as it would if the sensors were tripped, but that is as much action as I get. The keypad works fine and the openers work when I need to open the door. This is so very frustrating.....maybe I should contact the company for a warranty repair. I appreciate your comments and assistance! |
I have spoken to the company and they are sending me new sensors and bell wire.....keeping my fingers crossed! Greg |
Great. That should take care of your problem. Let us know if possible. It would sure be fun to find out which part was bad after you get everything working. You may be past the "fun" part though. |

12 Movies to Watch After You See 'The Shawshank Redemption'
Features By Christopher Campbell on September 12, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie ever made, right? That's what IMDb tells us, via the site's users and their voting power. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but it's definitely not the only movie in the world. And it wouldn't even be what it is had there not been movies made beforehand. In fact, the very title comes from that of a Stephen King novella with a movie-informed extension: "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption." The adaptation removes the Hollywood actress's name (apparently because people thought it was a biopic) but still prominently features her iconic face. In the 20 years since the release of Shawshank, other movies have been influenced or informed by Frank Darabont's Best Picture nominee. You won't find any of those on this week's list, though, not Dolores Clairborne with its mention of Shawshank Prison nor multiple Muppets movies with visual allusions nor Toy Story 3 with its admitted inspiration. These dozen titles are all precursors, some of them informing parts of the plot, others informing parts of the making of the movie, and others that are relevant. I don't think I give away too much that isn't common knowledge, but just in case you haven't seen Shawshank, you really should get on that already.
The Only Reason I Want to Tour the 'Shawshank Redemption' Prison
Features By Scott Beggs on September 3, 2014 | Be the First To CommentAccording to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (via Cinema Blend) the prison from Shawshank Redemption will be open to the cinephile public for tours within the next six months. The Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society has kept the Ohio State Reformatory alive through renovations and smart events that play off the spookier nature of the building (like ghost hunts and Halloween bashes). Over the weekend they held a 20th anniversary celebration of the movie's filming, but if the prison is opened for tours, there's only one thing I want to do when I go.
Required Reading: Get Busy Living or Get Busy Watching 'Shawshank'
Features By Scott Beggs on May 26, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe best movie culture writing from around the internet-o-sphere. There will be a quiz later. Just leave a tab open for us, will ya?
There's only a 7 year gap between Frank Darabont delivering A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and delivering The Shawshank Redemption. He wrote the script for the first and wrote and directed the second, but how ridiculously awesome is that combination? Darabont started out as a production assistant for the 1981 Linda Blair-starring Hell Night, which is as schlocky good as it gets, and has gone on to build an Oscar-nominated career based on his keen ability to adapt excellent books into excellent films. He's probably also a great guy to grab a beer with. So here's a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from the man who gave us the #1 film according to over 800,000 IMDB users.
12 Terrific Real Movies Shown In Other Films
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on June 14, 2012 | Comments (11)We rarely get to see movies being watched in other movies – probably because while it's fun to watch films, it's fairly boring to watch other people watch films. That being said – there are plenty of characters out there who would no doubt be a blast to watch movies with… Batman, for example. Anyway, when we do see a real life movie being watched in another movie it tends to be a film that most likely inspired the filmmakers either in their own upbringing or as a plot device in the film itself. Because of that one thing is certain – if you see a real movie being watched in the movie you're watching, there's a good chance that movie is awesome. Before anything though, I gotta shout out to Mr. Cole Abaius for coming up with the idea for this list. The man is a true demigod, and from what I hear the other half is pretty good too.
Exploring The Twilight Zone #118: On Thursday We Leave for Home
Exploring the Twilight Zone By Rob Hunter on December 8, 2011 | Comments (3)With the entire original run of The Twilight Zone available to watch instantly, we're partnering with Twitch Film to cover all of the show's 156 episodes. Are you brave enough to watch them all with us? The Twilight Zone (Episode #118): "On Thursday We Leave for Home" (airdate 5/2/63) The Plot: A group of settlers who landed on a desert planet thirty years ago wait for a rescue ship they believe is due any day. Their leader promises an Earth full of bounties, but when the ship actually arrives he begins to have second thoughts about letting them go. The Goods: 113 interplanetary settlers arrived on V9-Gamma in 1991 in the hopes of creating a new home for humanity to thrive, but the dry, dusty planet with its dual suns beating down would have none of that. Instead, the group was forced to struggle to survive while they waited for a rescue ship. Now, thirty years later, a radio communication has alerted them to the imminent arrival of that very ship. The group, now numbering over 180, has come close to losing faith in a rescue. Some have grown weary of the daily grind while others have given up on life and committed suicide, but through it all Captain William Benteen has kept them in line. Well, except for the ones who killed themselves. For three decades he's been their leader, their confessor, their disciplinarian, their shoulder to lean on, and he wouldn't have it any other way. But when […]
The Vintage Trailer of the Day is Headed to Zihuatanejo
Features By Scott Beggs on December 5, 2010 | Be the First To CommentEveryday, come rain or shine or internet tubes breaking, Film School Rejects showcases a trailer from the past. Today's trailer is from the recent past, but it's a reminder that hope is a good thing, we don't ever want to know what those Italian ladies were singing about, and that when they put you away for life – that's exactly what they take. Grab a rock and a Rita Hayworth poster, and watch the wrong man go to prison. Think you know what it is? Check out the trailer after the jump.
What Movie Changed Your Mind About a Cultural or Social Issue?

My new baby irises have arrived from Trail's End. Many thanks to Ann and Bob for the excellent quality and extras as usual. And thank you to my DH for his hard work digging the extension to my iris bed. I have babies to share with my neighbours and I have the whole weekend booked for planting here and at my GF's new house. Hopefully the weather has the same plans. :) |

The list is too long for this forum. I am a certified iris addict. I now have over 500 different cultivars and still collecting. |
OMG You truly are an addict. It must be absolutely stunning when they are in bloom. |
- Posted by nutsaboutflowers 2b/3a (My Page) on Fri, Aug 5, 11 at 9:09
Honalee, it's very good to know why your DH was doing all that digging =:) You could insert me into a picture like that. I've gotten very proficient with a lot of different shovels, and a wheelbarrow, as DH is never around when I need it done. I'm curious why you order from Trail's End instead of Chuck. He's been mentioned on here numerous times. I've just gotta get myself some new irises =:) |
NAF ~ Trail's End is only half of my order. The Chapman order hasn't arrived yet. Iris addiction is an art form with me. I have been ordering from both for a few years now and have NEVER been disappointed! And this year Ann and Bob are getting a baby of their own. Master Cash is going to live with them and the rest of their crew down in Ontario! I couldn't hand pick a better home for him! Beegood ~ This year was amazing with all the peonies and iris in bloom . And half of the irises are not even at the bloom stage yet. My neighbours and local dog walkers just love to stop and admire the "Goddess of the Rainbow" in all her glory! :) It is my pleasure as well as my passion and I am glad to share it!

CONGRATS on the new babies!!! :) I would love to see a pic of that garden!! :) :) I have some irises too, but they only last for about a weekish in the beginning of summer. Is this normal for irises?? It's one of my favorite flowers for sure, I just love the smell of them. I was thinking of ordering more for fall planting. I should do that soon, but there are definitely too many varieties to choose from that I LOVE the looks of!! |
Sweety ~ I think most of the iris orders have gone out for your growing zone for this season. You might try Chapman's in Guelph. He may still ship out a late order. Iris only bloom in the spring in your area and mine. I think I've only had one or two fall reblooms on Supreme Sultan and Victoria Falls or Breakers. I grew up close to the exhibition grounds here in Edmonton and the Ice Capades, Shrine Circus and Exhibition fireworks only came once a year for a week or so but OH what a show they put on!! That is what made it so exciting! I guess that is why I have peonies, irises, and daylilies.:) |
- Posted by nutsaboutflowers 2b/3a (My Page) on Sat, Aug 6, 11 at 10:35
Oh No ! I didn't realize it would already be too late to order for this year. Maybe I should call Chuck on Monday. Sweety2002 - When you talk of the blooms only lasting a short while, remember that the leftover foliage is green and attractive for the rest of the season, unlike the mess that tulips leave behind =:) Honalee we need pictures......... |
Ewwwww! Cold, wet and windy! Unbelievable storm last night and what a downpour! I guess I won't be planting irises this weekend! :( |
- Posted by nutsaboutflowers 2b/3a (My Page) on Tue, Aug 9, 11 at 23:36
How disappointing. We're almost half way to next weekend though =:) Will your babies bloom next year? I've never planted new irises, but I've sent an email to Trail's End to see if a few things I want are still available. |

Breakfast Topic: Goodbye Hallow's End, hello Day of the Dead
Are you participating in the Day of the Dead today? Also, did you reach your Hallow's End goals? What do you think of the drop rate of the Horseman's reins? What would you change about the holiday? Personally, I would like there to be a way to douse the fires with fewer people toward the end of the holiday. I think it would be nice if an NPC stepped in to help out after so many failed attempts in a row. That way I could still parade my alts through Brill on a daily basis, rather than scheduling an onslaught of guildies to get it done in a few seconds. What do you think?

Hello all. I was wondering if you could help me out on a hoop house question. I'm going to be building a HH this summer, preferably 20 ft wide by 50ft long. I would like the height inside to be at least 15 feet high. How do I go about calculating this? I grow some pretty big plants and want to make sure I have enough space in case I need it or if I want to hang fans to push the air out of the top. M thinking of adding in sidewalls and roll up curtains to allow airflow. I'm not sure how tall they should be and how much pvc I will need to obtain my goal of 15ft high. I plan on using schedule 80 electrical conduit |

That is very high for conduit. Wind will be your worst enemy with a structure that high so you'll need to reinforce well. My recommendation would be to settle on 10-11 ft with what materials you are working with. I didn't even go that high with 2 3/8" dia. steel pipe.The rollup sides are an excellent choice. As a rule, you can figure on half of a circle laying on its side so splitting 15 ft (height) and 20ft (width) or about 17.5 ft is the guestimate radius. Diameter of the imaginary circle is 35 ft. Since the perimeter of a circle= pi * diameter (3.14 * 35), your arches (half perimeter) would be close to 55 ft. |
Unless you are snow free and wind never exceeds 30 mph your design is way too weak. Even at 10-11ft it's too weak. For 15ft tall you need a strong steel frame. Mine is 16ft tall and built to 70 mph wind load. When the wind gets up it shakes not violently but it vibrates. This with 2.5 to 3.5 inch steel frame that's strongly braced. Here's the other thing about a high tunnel. The top half depending on your climate may be too hot for your crops. That part of a high tunnel is basically just a place to exhaust hot air. The bottom half is for cool air intake and growing your crop. Also I'm skeptical of using fans to help exhaust the hot air. It might help but then again it might just disturb the natural draft. If your crops are heat sensitive you'd be better off with a wet wall opposite large exhaust fans in a full out greenhouse. |

I made my 18.5' wide tunnel 8' high at the center. Above 8', wind load becomes a concern. I think it increases exponentially with each foot higher that you build. Steep roofs catch wind, low and wide roofs are great for shedding wind, but are the worst about holding snow and collapsing. 20' wide and 15' tall is more of a gothic arch design than a hoophouse. You can also make an a-frame with straight walls and a 45 degree roof to get similar dimensions. |
I have a friend that used 1.5 inch PVC and had 30 foot bows. He added 3 interior braces, one down the middle and one on each side. While it is still in use, it moves a whole lot! He also had a bad storm and the wind sheared off 7 or 8 bows near the ground! He was able to add some couplers and drove some longer metal pipe in the ground and was able to salvage it. 55 foot hoop would be a disaster, imo. I have two steel framed high tunnels and the are 12 feet 9 inches tall and I know they flex, can't imagine a 3 foot taller one make with PVC. I also have 2 PVC ones. They are 18 wide, 45 long and 8.5 tall. Another idea, it you really want that tall, what about going down? You could build a 10 foot tall structure and dig out the middle 5 feet and then you would have your 15 feet. Jay |

Hoop houses are cheap to build and unless they are big and tall they overheat rapidly and ventilate poorly. From a growers standpoint they are a lousy greenhouse design, plus they are usually glazed with pvc...one of the worst and trashiest of all human polluting materials. Check out building a greenhouse with 2 x 4 construction, nice and tall with lots of ventilation top, bottom and sides so you don't have to run a big fan. Check out used window glass and you'll be amazed at how cheaply you can build a good greenhouse. |
Window glass in a greenhouse would have a useful life of 1-2 yrs here due to hail. Is it really that much better in OK? Plus I won't feel safe under window glass anytime the wind got up. Is this tempered window glass you are talking about? Is that safe? Still don't see it lasting in the hail. |

Hello Fruitnut. Haven't had any serious hail here since I put the house up. The house isn't a large one: 8' x 26', so the glass on the roof is steeply angled. It would take some serious hailstones to break the glass that's in aluminum frames, but some of the steepest part are old single pane glass, but in four sections so each piece is only about 6" x 24". the house has already stood up to 50 mph winds and a snowstorm that collapsed my friends tubular steel greenhouse. If a big storm is happening I an not to be found in the greenhouse. By the way I am a big fan of citrus in the greenhouse and have sprouted a bunch of poncirus tri-foliate seed (hardy orange) for rootstock down the road. |

Technological Developments — More Changes Reshaping the Industry
January 2008 By William C. LamparterAnother interesting product, but one that we have not seen, is the Lexmark Mustang printer, which is said to use 2˝-wide thermal printheads that can be stitched together to give an 8˝ print width. While the HP approach is designed to add process color to applications, the Lexmark approach is basically a black printer with some spot color capability.
Both of these products are interesting because they expand digital printing capability at what is generally the under-the-radar low end of applications.
Wide-Format Printing
Digital ink-jet wide-format printing is another market segment that was not covered in the PI print version analysis. Digital wide-format equipment from 24 inches to several feet wide, using six or more colors producing images that are better than photographic quality, have become relatively commonplace in the United Staes. It is anticipated that the number of manufacturers offering a proliferating variety of wide-format brands and models will peak at Drupa '08. As the market becomes saturated and gradually but globally becomes a replacement market subject to digital electronic and e-paper substitution, look for a shakeout and manufacturer consolidation starting in 2009.
Disruptive Technologies
Two potentially disruptive technologies were unveiled at Graph Expo '07—Pantone's new color matching system and a new file format from Microsoft, which is a part of the Windows Vista structure. Both are somewhat controversial. While both intend to overcome limitations of current approaches, their implementation could result in as many new problems as the old problems they intend to cure.
Color Specifying
Pantone's new system for specifying color, the first major change since the introduction of its spot color matching system 45 years ago, took the printing industry by surprise. The aftermath of the announcement leaves some doubt as to the broad acceptance of the expanded approach to color specifying. Designers polled after Graph Expo said they like the fact that the new system is based on 2,058 colors as compared to the 1,114 colors in the old Pantone system. Designers also like the fact that the new system gives them more color specificity and, at the same time, more color flexibility, as well as an improved color communications tool.
Designers seemed to be better informed about the new system; some printers queried after Graph Expo were not aware of the existence of Goe. Few printers seemed to understand it and those that did questioned its bottom line value. The fact that the number of stock inks required for Pantone color matching is reduced from the old system's 14 to Goe's 10 received a "ho hum" reaction.
Printers are questioning whether or not a new system is needed, the benefits to them if any, and the prospects of having to maintain two color specifying systems: the new Goe and the old or classic entrenched Pantone system. Although Pantone says there is an approximately 40 percent crossover match from the old system to the new one, printers are concerned about the 60 percent for which there is no crossover color. Although Pantone contends the differences are minimal, skeptics noted that this has yet to be proven. Some have also questioned the Pantone claim that because the system is designed for printing uniform ink film thickness, it results in equal drying times, less use of spray powders and more control when matching color on-press.
While the new color matching system appears to offer potential advantages in color communications and perhaps in printers' operations, PrintCom's take is that because the design community sees advantages in the new system, it will be adopted. But because printers see little advantage in it for them, printers will resist adding the new system and slow down its adoption. For the next several years, it appears likely that there will be two spot color matching and specifying systems: classic Pantone and the new Pantone Goe.
Or maybe there will be three—at least in the packaging arena. Following Graph Expo, in early October Sun Chemical entered the color specifying arena with SmartColor, a color suite of tools targeted at segments of the packaging industries with the claimed virtue of taking the guesswork out of predicting brand colors or packaging dress colors. The colors will reproduce across a variety of substrates, ranging from brown corrugated to clear film to white polypropylene as reproduced by several printing processes.
The Sun chemical suite consists of four components.
• SmartColor Digibase, a brand-specific digital database generated from physical standards proofed using different processes and substrates.
• SmartColor DigiGuide, a technology for generating and developing digital printing of hard copy physical color standards using brand and category color pallets.
• SmartColor DigiProof, a digitally printed color reference.
Unlike Pantone, which provides swatchbooks to specify color, DigiGuides and DigiProofs are printed by the printer on a multi-color ink-jet proofing system as specified by Sun Chemical.
The fourth component of the system is SmartColor iVue operating as an Adobe PhotoShop plug-in. SmartColor IVue allows packaging creators to access the Sun Chemical database so as to see claimed real color as it might be printed by offset, flexo or gravure any time in the preparation workflow. Sun Chemical claims a massive database of real ink colors on common packaging substrates printed by all processes will allow users to consider multiple alternatives to deliver a specified brand color on one or more packaging materials.
This approach might provide a designer with an advantage over the Pantone color matching system, which does not provide the ability to see how a defined Pantone color will look on a range of substrates. Sun's SmartColor approach enables color to be selected based on specific inks, defined substrates and specific printing processes.
The Sun Chemical approach appears to be well-suited for packaging applications where color matching of six or eight colors might be utilized across a variety of substrates printed by different processes. Its limitation is that it is a supplier-specific system, which appears to ignore the ICC device- and supplier-independent color standards developed over the past decade. From a creative designer perspective, the Sun system seems to overlook the fact that packaging design is primarily done in Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and perhaps Quark, while SmartColor iVue uses Adobe PhotoShop software rarely used by package designers. Nevertheless, Sun Chemical's approach to color specifying has intriguing potential for the packaging designer and printer.
XPS—A New File Format
The other potentially disruptive technology touted at Graph Expo was XPS, a new file format specification promulgated by Microsoft. "XPS" stands for XML Paper Specification, which is a core printing technology in Microsoft's new Vista operating system. XPS claims to be a complete XML-based specification for a printer page description language based on a new print path, a color management device-independent and resolution-independent vector-based format, which is an exact representation of printed output and supports printing features such as gradients, transparencies, CMYK color space, named colors, printer calibration and print schemas.
The specification describes the appearance of fixed format documents by using a structured XML document format. The XPS document format consists of XML markup that defines the layout of a document and the visual appearance of each page along with rendering rules for distributing, archiving, rendering, processing and printing the documents.
XPS is a serious Microsoft effort to enter the commercial-quality printing output marketplace and as such could prove disruptive to the almost universally used PDF format and the established protocols of commercial prepress.
Working with Microsoft and demonstrating XPS at Graph Expo were Quality Logic, Quark, Konica-Minolta, Xerox, Global Graphics, Screen, Xitron, Software Imaging and Zoran. While many of the industry's big players were not represented in Graph Expo's XPS showcase, the initial level of support indicates that the technology may have legs and disrupt Postscript and PDF, the legacy Adobe file formats that are deeply entrenched in the professional print production arena.
What appears likely to PrintCom is that since XPS is the default print mechanism for Vista, it will gradually penetrate the high-end printing market through corporate document preparers that currently use files like Word and PowerPoint to prepare files for commercial printing output. While it appears that XPS could be a significant improvement over Word-type files, our best take is that it will not be a cure-all.
The approach is too new and minimally tried to know what the real impact of this new file format will be. However, any printer that is now receiving files in Word or PowerPoint would be prudent to consider XPS as a likely file input from enterprise customers that lack professional commercial creative and prepress personnel. It would be wise to be prepared before the files start showing up, since we believe that they inevitably will.
Proofing, a keystone element in the success of color producing commercial printers, has been and continues to undergo a continuum of technological change. A printer's internal proofs assist in achieving customer required color. Contract proof sign-offs are a customer satisfaction tool and the legal bedrock of proving that customer requirements have been met.
These proofing functions remain a vital part of print production, but the technology of achieving them is undergoing change. As film has been replaced by digital technology, it has also faded as the primary proofing medium. The majority of proofs in 2007 were produced by digital ink-jet output. A growing portion of ink-jet proofs are being done through remote links—printer to customer and, in some cases, customer to printer. Lithographic press proofs and in-plant press checks are declining.
Some printers have been able to calibrate color digital printing output to their offset litho output, enabling digital production presses to be used to generate proofs for offset. Starting in 2005, proofs produced on digital production equipment are included in the press proofing category. The net growth in this category is a result of the growth in production digital printing as an offset proofing method less the decline in litho press proofs and press checks.
Even as these newest proofing changes take root, the seeds have been planted for the next generation of proofing technology—soft on-screen paperless proofing. Proofing screens are now beginning to appear on press consoles. PrintCom believes that ink-jet proofing either peaked in 2007 or will peak in 2008 as it is replaced by soft on-screen proofing and, to a much smaller degree by, production digital color proofing. The accompanying table shows lithographic proofing trends to 2012.
The technology race is on!
Profit leader printers will become participants and not just spectators. PI

2011 Innovative Product: Roland VR-5 AV Mixer & Recorder and VR-3 Moble AV Mixer
Dec 20, 2011 5:09 PM
Roland got it right with its all-in-one take on live production/recording/streaming. First the VR-5 (pictured right) debuted (5-channel video switcher, two mono/five stereo mixable audio channels, scan converter, a couple of LCD monitors, three video layers, plus a down stream keyer, MPEG-4 player/recorder, USB video/audio for web streaming). Last month, the company brought out the mobile VR-3 (pictured left) with a tiny footprint—at less than 5lbs., it can be powered by an external battery like Sanyo's Pedal Juice. You might have seen it tricked out on a motorcycle with a MacBook and GoPro HD Hero camera—the "world's smallest broadcast vehicle."

Newly available online!
- PhD Thesis: The Influence of High Harmonic Force on Fatigue Life and its Prediction via Coupled Inline-Crossflow VIV Modeling
- Journal Paper: On fatigue damage of long flexible cylinders due to the higher harmonic force components and chaotic vortex-induced vibrations
I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and Computation from MIT. I enjoy paper reading and would like to keep up with the latest research. If you need manuscripts review for your journal or conference, please contact me. My research interest includes:
- Fluid Structure Interaction, Vortex Induced Vibration
- Oceanographic Modeling and Adaptive Sampling in Coastal Zone Environment, Algorithms Develop, Modeling and Sea Trials
- Computational Solid Mechanics
- Welding Science and Technology
- Numerical Methods & Operation Research
My PhD research at MIT focuses on Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV), which is a major factor affecting all stages of development of offshore structures. My major contribution is the development of 2D VIV Hydrodynamics Coefficients Database "ZDMiT" and a coupled Inline-crossflow rigid cylinder response model to predict coupled Inline-Crossflow VIV motion and high harmonic VIV forces. I defended my PhD thesis "The Influence of High Harmonic Force on Fatigue Life and its Prediction via Coupled Inline-Crossflow VIV Modeling" in September 2013. My PhD advisor was Professor Michael S. Triantafyllou in the Center for Ocean Engineering at Mechanical Engineering Department of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
"ZDMiT", also known as the 2 Degree of Freedom (2DOF) VIV hydrodynamics coefficients database at MIT, is named after the research team under the supervision of Professor Michael S. Triantafyllou at MIT (Zheng ~Dahl ~ Modarres-Sadeghi ~ Triantafyllou) and based on Zheng 2011 and Dahl 2006 inline-crossflow forced vibration experiments at the MIT towing tank. The 2D VIV hydrodynamics coefficients database "ZDMiT" is expected to be widely used by semi-empirical programs to predict coupled inline-crossflow VIV in the field. I also created a coupled inline-crossflow VIV model of an elastically mounted rigid cylinder to predict the inline and crossflow motion frequency, amplitude, and the phase between the inline and crossflow motion and higher harmonic forces.
I had managed the VIV Data Repository, a joint project with major offshore companies and academia and hosted by MIT. It offers researchers and engineers extensive data sets from simplified laboratory experiment to full-scale for design, modeling and benchmarking.
I also worked with Prof. Nick Patrikalakis on developing and testing algorithms for planning cooperative adaptive sampling of the coastal zone ocean environment via multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and autonomous surface craft (ASCs). The sampling network includes oceanographic/chemical/biological sensors mounted on these vehicles, buoys and sea floor. I also participated in sea trials, data analysis and cooperating on data assimilation, numerical ocean modeling and forecasting.
I received my Master of Science in Computation for Design and Optimization, MIT, under the supervision of Professor Klaus-Jurgen Bathe from MIT Mechanical Engineering Department in September 2008. My MS thesis is "On the predictive capability and stability of rubber material models".
Prior to my graduate studies abroad, I obtained my dual Bachelor Degree of Mechanical Engineering & Automation and Computer Application from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), China.

Building a Rogue Trader Vessel
Sam Stewart Discusses Ships in the Expanse |
Rogue Trader | Published 27 August 2009 |
Greetings, Rogue Trader fans!
This week I am pleased to present a guest designer diary by scribe Sam Stewart, the author of the Starships chapter in Rogue Trader.
Sam Stewart Speaks!
So the other day, Ross asked me if I could put together a designer diary going over how to construct a space ship in Rogue Trader. Well, I'll take any excuse to write about Rogue Trader's starships, so I pulled out a fresh sheet of parchment, fired up the ol' auto-quill, and got to work.
The first thing to determine is the 'budget' I'm working with. Rogue Trader has rules for determining your starting Profit Factor and Ship Points, with more of one meaning less than the other. To find out how much of each you start with, you roll a single 1d10 on Table 1-5: Starting Profit Factor and Ship Points (found on page 33 of the core rulebook). There are five possible results, ranging from wealthy Rogue Traders with small, modest ships, to impoverished Rogue Traders who still cling to the mighty vessels their dynasty possessed when it was wealthy.
I rolled a "7," giving me an average amount of Profit Factor and Ship Points. Apparently, the dynasty I'm building this ship for is a relatively new player on the galactic stage, with lots of resources to draw on. Those resources mean I have 50 Ship Points to play with when constructing this vessel. Now that I know how many Ship Points I have, I'll turn to Chapter 8: Starships to actually build the ship.
First I have to decide what kind of ship I'm going to build, and that means selecting a hull type. There are five different types of hulls, from slow and lumbering transports, fast and fragile raiders, multi-purpose frigates, long-range light cruisers, and heavy and powerful cruisers. The ship's hull is also what I'll be spending the most Ship Points on. A complete list of hulls can be found on pages 194-196.
I decide to go with a Sword-class frigate, a venerable mainstay of the Imperial Battlefleet. It has a good balance of Speed, Manoeverability, armour, and potential firepower. It also costs 40 Ship Points, leaving me 10 to purchase Components to augment the starship with. As we'll see, 10 Ship Points will be plenty to construct this starship (I would always make sure I have at least 5 left over after selecting a hull).
Before I go any further, I have to see what my new ship has gone through before ending up under my pen. That entails rolling on the two Complications tables found on page 197 and 198. The first table, Machine Spirit Oddities, determines some of the quirks my ship's machine spirit has picked up over its many years of service. There are 10 possibilities, and I roll "Resolute." My frigate is a bit slower than other ships, but is tougher and easier to repair.
Next, I roll on the second table, Past Histories. Starships in the 40k universe are very old, often owned by many owners, and rebuilt and refurbished countless times. This table suggests some of the activities the ship (and its crew) has been involved in in the past. I get the result "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," meaning this ship has sophisticated masking systems to conceal some of its weapons; perhaps it used to be a pirate vessel, or served time as a Q-ship in the Imperial Navy.
Next, I have to pick out my ship's Essential Components (listed on page 201). These are things the ship needs to run, like life sustainers and a bridge. There are seven categories of Essential Components, and every ship needs one Component from each category (no more, no less). However, since every ship is expected to have them, most Essential Components do not cost Ship Points. I will have to keep an eye on my ship's available Power and Space, however. Each component will take up some of each of these resources (which are provided by the ship's Plasma Drives and Hull, respectively). I'm starting with 45 Power and 40 Space, but my Past History takes up 2 Power right off the bat, and things like my Void Shields and Warp Drives take up even more. Most of the Components I select are the most basic, bare-bones versions, but I use a little extra Power, Space, and one of my remaining Ship Points to upgrade my Bridge to a combat oriented bridge, and buy a more powerful Augur Array. At the end I have 9 Ship Points, 14 Space, and 16 Power left over.
Now comes the really fun part—adding the Supplemental Components. These are things like cargo holds, augmented systems, and (of course) guns. Not essential, but you'll be glad you have them. (A list of Supplemental Components is found on page 204.)
First, weapons. A Sunsear Laser Battery and set of Mars Pattern Macrocannons for my two Weapon Component slots means my frigate hits hard at long range, and even harder up close. To beef them up even more, I'll install a Munitorium packed full of laser focusing crystals and macro-warheads. All three Components combined take up 12 Power, 9 Space, and 4 Ship Points. (As a side note, my ship's Past History will allow me to conceal all three Components from prying scans, giving my opponents a nasty surprise!)
Next, I'll take a Cargo Hold and Lighter Bay to ensure my frigate can participate in trading endeavors. I'll also add a Librarium Vault and a Trophy Room. The Librarium is full of accumulated lore on any number of topics, and what Rogue Trader wouldn't want a grand hall dedicated to his accomplishments? Finally, in the lowest reaches of the ship, I'll install a set of cryo-pods to store a cadre of Murder-Servitors, invaluable when conducting hit-and-run raids on other ships.
That's the last of my Power, Space, and Ship Points, and I'm left with a credible and dangerous ship to explore the Expanse with. All I need now is a name, and in honor of the brilliant novels by Patrick O'Brian, I think I'll call her the Surprise (it's certainly fitting).
And there you have it: a new ship ready for some plucky Rogue Trader to take into the Koronus Expanse.
Rogue Trader is a roleplaying game set in dark gothic far future of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe. Players take on the roles of explorers aboard a Rogue Trader's ship, searching for profit and adventure while discovering new alien cultures and threats in the uncharted regions of space.
I'm going to have list after list after list of ships. It will be glorious.
This sounds so cool. Can't wait! =)
mmmmmm broadside barrage abeam, from stern to stem.
I wonder if you can get a planet killer?
So when is this actually coming out then? As much as I love previews I'd rather know when I can actually buy this.
OMG, massive heart rate increase in response to awesomeness. Never really thought about detailed ship boarding actions, but murder-servitors makes me want to board an Ork Kill Kroozer in the name of Khor.... The God Emperor.
Me too!
(Hey BrookM - nice to see you here!)
Now that sounds like a nasty piece of work any intelligent pirate worth his salt would want dibs on
Oh crap, I can hardly wait!
Man let me tell you I'm going to love this book!!!!
Sweet! Thanks for that!
Don't have Rogue Trader but it sure sounds cool as hell!

5. Ambitions: To survive the next two years of medical school, and, after graduation, go on tour with the newly reformed Warrant as Jani's Occupational Therapist and become his 3rd ex-wife.
6. Turn-ons: heavy metal, long haired rocker guys, concerts, summertime, chocolate, Freaks and Geeks, the 70s and 80s (I prefer to live in the past), shopping, carnies, scary movies, classic rock, San Diego, good conversation, yoga, Metal Mania, power ballads, sunsets, a good makeout session, 80s cover bands, Napolean Dynomite, love, the outdoors, road trips, a good sense of humor, killer guitar solos, the Zipper, and yes, I am proud to admit it, Jani Lane
7. Turn-offs: dance clubs, drama, work, winter, know-it-alls, cockiness, excess body hair, rotten teeth, people who never shut up, breaking plans, no ambition
8. Favorite bands: Warrant (or Jani solo), Slaughter (Mark… yum), Motley Crue, Skid Row (Sebastian), Trixter, Tesla, Danger Danger, KISS, Cinderella, Whitesnake, Poison, Great White, Firehouse, Def Leppard, White Lion, Stryper, old school Metallica, Rush, Megadeth, Wildside, Ratt, Bon Jovi, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, VH, VVI… I could go on and on, but I think you get the drift
9. Least favorite bands: I'd have to say I'd rather have wooden screws drilled into my head, my finger nails slowly removed one by one, and my spleen removed with a soup spoon then be subjected to a night of dance/rap/hip hop music
10. How long have you been coming to Metal Sludge?
I discovered Metal Sludge about 3 years ago while doing a search on Kevin DuBrow (ya know, the wig mystery)… once I discovered it, though, I didn't leave my computer for weeks on end reading all the old backlogs
11. What exactly do you do for a living?
Right now, I am unemployed!! I'm taking a month off to do absolutely nada. But starting Sept. 6th I'll be joining the ranks of 20+ year olds and going Back To School. (And yes, at my age, I DO feel like Rodney Dangerfield). I'm making a change from Computer Programmer to Occupational Therapist!
12. Of the following, which do you prefer and why:
Jani Lane or Jaime St. James = Jani…who could resist a man in white leather fringe?
Growing Pains or Mr. Belvedere = Mr. Belvedere…Wesley was the coolest!
Blaze Radio or the Classic Metal Show = Blaze Radio – I always dreamed of being a Blaze girl back in the day
Nickelodean or Cartoon Network = I don't watch either, but I'll have to go with Cartoon Network
O'Hare or Midway airport = O'Hare – I'm getting to be an old pro at those electronic check-ins
Kung Fu movies or Westerns = sigh… how about Lifetime?
Cherry Pie or Dog Eat Dog = I'll take a combo of both… Dog Eat Dog overall, but "Blind Faith" is gonna be my wedding song
Enuff Z'Nuff or Supermercado = EZN – I'm ashamed to say I'm from Chicago and don't even know Supermercado
Bananas or gourds = Bananas are yummy
The Double Door or Exit = Exit hands down – better eye candy
13. If someone grabbed your purse and dumped it out on the floor at this exact moment, what contents would they find?
Lipstick, keys, camera, gum, cell phone, Caribou card, dental floss… typical girl stuff.
Laura captures the General Lee! Too bad she forget her Daisy Dukes at home.
14. Yes or no, have you ever:
Changed a tire = luckily I've always had someone to bail me out
Grown a Chia Pet = no but I've raised sea monkeys
Made out with Steven Adler = back in the day, that woulda so ruled
Taken a bath with Jerry Dixon soap = LOL can't say I've had the pleasure
Caught a ball at a Cubs game = I'm too busy drinking, socializing and getting a tan to actually watch the game
Mud-wrestled a dwarf = You up for a challenge, Jim Bob?
Stuck your finger down your throat and barfed = HA HA, haven't we all?
Killed a spider all by yourself = ah, the joys of living alone
Stolen a lawn ornament = probably back in my road sign stealing days
Shaved your head = No, I've pretty much had the same hairstyle since I was 10
15. Name 5 CDs you can't live without:
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath – Black Sabbath (reminds me of my old college days)
DRFSR – Warrant (high school days)
Boston – Boston (self-titled)
Great White (Best Of)
Heavy Metal Love (compilation)
16. The way to my heart is: 80s metal, long hair and a warm summer night
Laura travels back in time to capture a pre-Celebrity Fit Club 2 Jani Lane! It's amazing what technology can do these days.
17. How do you feel about being our August 2005 Sludgette of the Month?
It's about damn time! Just kidding, I'm absolutely elated – this is the highlight of my year
18. Personal motto:
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
You can check out more of Laura at her MySpace page, at http://www.myspace.com/blzgirl
Congratulations to Laura for being our August 2005 Sludgette of the Month!

It's a sunshiny day at Disney's Epcot this May. A camera-wielding mother watches her six-year-old nuzzle in the bosom of Minnie Mouse, who is crouching on the sidewalk in a way that ordinary mice cannot. "Look at the camera, Shannon!" Mom trills. Quickly pivoting to face Mom, Shannon bumps against Minnie's shiny, black nose. After the photo Shannon rubs her head and retreats Momward. "Minnie is a real mouse," Shannon reports, "but her nose is rubber."
Few would deny that we patronize theme parks for their attractions and rides, and their one-stop-shopping approach to vacationing. But the parks also hold a subconscious appeal for us: like two of today's dominant art forms—reality-based TV and the literary memoir—theme parks place us at the intersection of the real and the fabricated. Trying to parse what is actual and what is not can be great fun. Indeed, it is this activity—not the one where you rocket down a water slide to plunge into the waters of excited youth, and not the one where you try to get excited about something billed as "the World's Largest Miniature!"—that can perpetually replenish one's enthusiasm for amusement parks' inimitable offerings of trams, theme-appropriate fried food, and the presence of the Danskin crotch panel in a "historic" setting.
Over the years, since the opening of Disneyland in 1955 and Walt Disney World in 1971, theme-park developers have had to work harder and harder to create fantasy worlds that would allow patrons to suspend their disbelief. Jaded by sophisticated video games and movie special effects, today's park-goer requires total immersion.
Concurrent with this mind-set is the "cable televisionizing," or ever-more-specializing, of theme parks. New Orleans has Jazzland; Carlsbad, California, has Legoland; and Langhorne, Pennsylvania, has Sesame Place: the gauntlet has been cast down. The developers of the new Bonfante Gardens in Gilroy, California, spent $100 million to create a theme park that celebrates trees. Texas entrepreneurs are raising funds for Marianland, a Catholic-themed park; it's based on a Brazilian entertainment complex that weds the sacred to the profane by offering both fast-moving rides and life-sized computerized puppets performing the Nativity.
TWO HIGHLY SPECIALIZED PARKS THAT OPENED THIS YEAR are particularly good at allowing visitors to explore the nebulous intersection between the real and the trying-to-be-real. Disney's California Adventure, in Anaheim, is an attempt to condense all of California's natural splendors into one 55-acre compound: you can behold a concrete version of the Sierra Nevada or ride a virtual hang glider over a simulated landscape while a synthetic breeze scented with orange and redwood wafts over you. Orlando's Holy Land Experience re-creates Israel circa 1450 B.C. to A.D. 66. Even though there are no actual camels at the park, visitors—or, should we say, pilgrims—come away puzzled that the tiny, ride-free Holy Land features camel hoofprints in its sidewalks. They might also wonder whether God would emanate from the Ark of the Covenant in such a bold display of smoke and strobe lights.
"The packaged experiences offered in the future," Alvin Toffler wrote in his 1970 book, Future Shock, "will reach far beyond the imagination of the average consumer, filling the environment with endless novelties." Not only have amusement parks become, over time, more elaborate and heavily themed, more filled with Toffler's "endless novelties," but their influence has also spread to other pockets of our culture. It's difficult nowadays to discern between shopping malls and theme parks (many pedestrian plazas seem to harbor an implicit sign reading, YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO SHOP AT THIS STORE). In the climate of high interactivity and heavy theming, museum has become a dirty word; ours is the age of the exploratorium and the science center.

Muzzelite 10 / 22 Bullpup Rifle Stock is rated out of 5 by 6.Rated 5 out of 5 by DALE A from I have bought at least 6 of these bullpup stocks over the years, some to sell as custom rifles and others to keep. They are easy to install and I have had no problems with them.Date published: 2014-06-08Rated 5 out of 5 by ROGER from Fits well, looks great, and is an improvement over original design.Date published: 2013-06-18Rated 5 out of 5 by ROGER from Fits well, looks great, and is an improvement over original design.Date published: 2013-06-18Rated 1 out of 5 by JOSEPH from Sent this stock back. Wanted it for almost 2 years and once here noticed it was made extreamly cheap and the trigger system wasn't even strong enough to fire the gun. All it needed was a metal trigger system and would of been a decent purchase.Date published: 2012-12-12Rated 4 out of 5 by TRACY from could b a little more solid but overall not badDate published: 2011-09-12Rated 5 out of 5 by HOWARD from An interesting 10/22 stock set. I've always wanted one for many years, so I researched it before buying. I knew I'd need to modify it. As is, it works well with smaller mags ,but any banana mags 25rnd and bigger will need to modify the grip with a dremel tool. Added some small rails of my own for laser/lights on forward grip. All around nice stock, but as always, research it before you buy as it might not fit your needs.Date published: 2011-04-09

The readings, entitled Words to Comfort, took place at the New School Tischman Auditorium in New York City and at San Francisco's Main Library on October 17, 2001. Many of the poems read were selected from the enormous public outpouring of poetry posted at New York City fire stations, Union Square, and numerous other memorial sites around the city. The Word That Comfort benefit at San Francisco's Main Library featured San Francisco Poet Laureate Janice Mirikitani and award-winning poets Kim Addonizio, Chana Bloch, and Ruth Daigon. The reading Boston featured X.J. Kennedy, Frank Bidart, Boston Fire Commissoner Paul A. Christian, and others.
The New School reading was sponsored by the New School Writing Program and Rattapallax Press. The San Francisco Main Library was sponsored by Poets-for-Peace and the San Francisco Public Library. The Boston co-sponsors are William Joiner Center for the Study of War and Social Consequences, Tapestry of Voices and Rattapallax Press.
NYC School Children reading at the New School. The purpose of the World Trade Center Relief Fund is to assist the families and dependents of the victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks. This fund is for the benefit of all victims both injured and deceased, including innocent civilians, the dedicated firefighters, policemen, Port Authority officers, Emergency Medical Personnel and relief workers. After the monetary needs of these affected people have been addressed, consideration may be given to other related relief and recovery expenses.

Ref O.JA68791
After long consideration the Minister has decided that we should not be represented at the meeting in Dili. Please advise the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the decision, letting them know that we have informed no other governments.
- The decision has been taken essentially because we know that the procedures being followed in Dili do not match up to the standards which would be generally acceptable in Australia. It would not be possible for an Australian representative at the Dili meeting to report favourably on it, certainly not on the critical question as to the manner in which the 'representatives' were chosen. It can be argued that it would be better to attend and to report frankly on both the good and the bad aspects of the meeting, but the decision is, on balance, that it would be best not to associate the Government with it directly. The 'bad' aspects will undoubtedly be the most eye-catching in Australia, and, if we had observed the meeting, the Government would be under substantial pressure to comment on what it thought of it. Apart from the immediate problems with the Indonesians which this could cause, it could also reduce our freedom of action for the future. The absence of UN observers and the unsatisfactorily short program (three hours on the ground) are additional reasons against attendance.
- The Minister has therefore concluded that the advantages lie in avoiding attendance and 'eye witness' commentary at this time.
- We should like you to explain to the Indonesians that the Minister has considered the invitation, and Mr Malik's appeal, very carefully. It has not been an easy decision. You should say that, in deciding against attendance, we have had to take into account the absence of UN involvement and the shortness of the proposed program. We do not believe that a participant would be able to gain sufficient information or clear enough impression to allow the Minister to present a report that would satisfy Australian public opinion.2
- For the future, you should say that we continue to be interested in the process of self determination and in this connection see the 31 May meeting as one step in the process. Ideally we should hope that UN involvement might prove possible in the later stages. We know that this may not be easy but believe that it is most important in terms of international opinion that this avenue be pursued. As you know, our very strong preference here would be to encourage a return visit by Winspeare rather than engaging, say, the Committee of 24. Do the Indonesians see any possibility of persuading him to be present during the DPR fact-finding visit at the end of June? This could be justified in terms of his mandate to pursue consultations with the parties—the PGET clearly being one of the parties.
- We realize that the Indonesians will not be happy with our decision, but participation of an Australian representative may well have led-through commentaries on his report and through the need for the Government itself to define its position in regard to the report-to an increase in pressures on Indonesia/Australia relations. Public opinion in Australia is likely to be sceptical about any process which appears not to involve direct elections (except, perhaps, Dili).
- You may also wish to point out to the Indonesians that we do not wish by our negative response to influence the decision of others and that this is the reason why we have delayed replying to the invitation until the last moment and we will not be informing other governments of our decision until you have advised the Indonesians/PGET and in any event not before evening of 30 May.
