Joe (2013)
Hard to keep a good man down.
Nicolas Cage is back and true to himself; gritty, witty and a man's man. Cage is Joe, a functioning alcoholic, who works as a supervisor for a lumber company. And as a true man from the deep south, he wakes up downing a slug of whiskey and saying goodbye to his dog named Dog. Joe picks up his crew each morning(that doesn't rain)at a small general store, buying his mostly black crew breakfast of coffee and Slim Jims. His job is deeply slicing unwanted trees before injecting them with poison. This makes it easier to cut down the trees, so young saplings of stronger trees, wanted by the company, can be planted.
Joe of course is a man with his demons. When his despair and anger begins to boil, his rage makes him a man you want to stay away from. He carries a reputation around of assaulting several cops while drunk. But still there is the practical and compassionate Joe that gives a job to a 14 year old boy(Tye Sheridan), who is suffering abuse from his drunken father(Gary Poulter). The community townsfolk are proud to know him without ever knowing his surname. Joe is just plain Joe.
This cast is rounded out by: Aj Wilson McPhaul, Sue Rock, Elbert Hill III, Bryan Mays and Andriene Mishler.
God's Not Dead (2014)
Would you stand up for your belief in God?
This is a Christian movie, a bit better than some in the same genre. The story line is important to the movie, well it is the movie; but just not enough for some expecting a real "lift me up". Josh Wheaton(Shane Harper)is a college student in the process of majoring in Law; he is required to take a philosophy class and it will challenge his morals and belief in God. Professor Radisson(Kevin Sorbo)is an atheist that insists his students sign a paper admitting that God is dead in order to pass the class. Josh balks and is challenged by Radisson to debate him and convince the members of the class that God is not dead! The arguments at first are pretty convincing that God is alive, but Radisson has his own agenda and proves to be very narrow minded and is so sure of himself that he doubts Wheaton can change his classmate's minds about the paper they signed.
The acting is a bit lacking and pedestrian. The gospel group Newsboys are featured at a concert as they sing "God's Not Dead" and "The King Is Coming". Willie and Korie Robertson of Duck Dynasty make brief cameos. Also in the cast: Dean Cain, Cassidy Gilford, David A.R. White, Trisha LaFache and Paul Kwo.
Truth or Dare (2012)
Truth or dare...just a way to get revenge.
This is a low budget independent British film that you best not pass over. Doubtful you'll find a character you'll like or even have sympathy for; but if you like your horror a little rough...you will feel good about watching this one. College students are enjoying themselves drinking and drugging at a big party. Feeling unwelcome, a nervous Felix(Tom Kane)is forced into a game of spin the bottle...truth or dare. When the bottle picks him, he is asked what female or MALE he'd choose to sleep with. This party game ends with Felix being humiliated and punched in the face.
A year later five of those college party goers are invited to a sprawling country estate for the birthday party of Felix. Yes, Felix. The five friends arrive and are told the party is not at the grand estate, but almost a mile down a muddy road to a cottage in back. Who knew that Felix came from money? Nevertheless the party guests are met by Justin(David Oakes), the brother of Felix, who is said to be in Chile. Justin convinces the group to stay for a little party anyway. What starts off innocent rapidly becomes dark and fatal. Spin the bottle...truth or dare will let Justin get revenge for his brother's humiliation. Payback will become most violent and gruesome.
Other players making up the cast: Jack Gordon, Florence Hall, Jennie Jacques, Jason Maza, Liam Boyle and David Sterne.
The Final (2010)
The school bullies get bullied!
An After Dark Horrorfest film worth watching. Hope you like them gruesome. THE FINAL has an unpopular high school teen Dane(Marc Donato)fed up with the years of being pushed and shoved around. He convinces Emily(Lindsay Seidel)and a group of other students that have reached that point to finally seek revenge on the so-called "cool" kids that have spent years humiliating them. A wild party is created for invitees only. It ends up with all the bullies ready to "party down" with no limitations. Thanks for the memories guys and gals. The group of outcasts are in disguise as the others, but they are not the ones in chains; and they are wielding weapons. The meek have summoned courage and are ready to carry out their plan of maiming and torture to make up for the years of torment. The bullies are now getting bullied. The gruesome means of torture have been learned in history class and watching horror flicks. See who is crying now! Not for the faint of heart. This is a bunch of sadistic teens getting their revenge. Even I had to turn my head a couple of times...its just that horribly good! The cast also features: Justin Arnold, Jascha Washinton, Travis Tedford, Laura Ashley Samuels, Eric Isenhower and Ravi Silochan.
In Fear (2013)
An excursion that will rattle your nerves.
A couple of friends, Tom(Iain De Caestecker) and Lucy(Alice Englert)are planning to meet friends at a music festival. They have yet to make it official that they are a couple and Tom decides to surprise Lucy by making reservations at a remote hotel to spend the night before the festival. This British road trip flick soon becomes pure torment. The young couple end up driving through a maze of country roads to get to the hotel. A relaxing getaway soon becomes a nightmare as Tom and Lucy realize they are lost. It is getter closer and closer to nightfall and the car is riding near empty.
There is really no decent scenery. A one lane muddy road that keeps twisting and turning. Signs giving directions have somehow been changed thus the couple, that is hard to like, are trapped. Nothing actually scary, but an atmosphere that will fray your nerve endings.
Valley of Terror (1937)
Old time western.
Early western hero Kermit Maynard plays Bob Wilson, who finds himself in jail on a trumped up charge of cattle rustling. Spud Hayes(Jack Ingram), actually a Wilson sidekick, figures he can help Wilson out of jail by forming a lynch mob. Wilson manages a getaway and leads the lynch mob on wild chase. Meanwhile back in town, a slick talking villain, Mark Flemming(John Merton) is trying to cheat the lovely Mary Scott(Haley Wood)out of her ranch. She takes Fleming's money and tries to leave town, with the bad guy holding worthless paper. Wilson tries to figure why there is all this new found interest in the lady's land...its not coal, gold or oil. But there is something of value to be had by the property's owner.
Rip roaring old time western full of chase scenes and flying lead. Plenty of action, enough to keep the smallest of buckaroos wanting to help the hero, Kermit Maynard. A lot of those that have deep interest in this genre feel that this may just be Maynard's best.
Old Sheriff Judson is played by Hank Bell; while Dick Curtis and Frank McCarroll play bad guys working for Mr. Fleming. Also in the cast: Roger Williams, Jack Casey and Blackie Whiteford. 59 minutes of rusty, dusty cowboy action.
The Last Rites of Ransom Pride (2010)
A brother for a brother.
Tiller Russell writes and directs this strange, but somewhat interesting western. Ransom Pride(Scott Speedman)in many ways is a man's man, in spite of being a criminal and gunfighter. This realistic and rather raw drama finds Ransom gunned down in Mexico and his partner Juliette Flowers(Lizzy Caplan)vows to keep the promise to her lover and take him back home to Glory, Texas to be buried next to his mother. One major problem is that Ransom's body is being held ransom by a mysterious woman, Bruja(Cote de Pablo); she wants Flowers dead. The Reverend Early Pride(Dwight Yoakam)wants his son's body brought back from Mexico as much as he too wants Miss Flowers dead. Flowers, not shy to stab, slice or shoot, decides to deceive Ransom's little brother, Champ(Jon Foster), in helping her bring back his brother's body. All along Flowers knows that she is actually trading Champ for Ransom; a live brother for a very dead one. Between Glory and Mexico there will be hell to pay.
How in the world they got Calgary, Alberta, Canada to look like Texas and Mexico is one of those magical things we go to the movies for...I guess. This flick does not go easy on the bloodshed and brutal violence. My main reason for viewing this movie is Miss Cote de Pablo, who you really have to look twice to recognize. Her character looks nothing like the beautiful NCIS agent she played on TV.
Others in the cast: Kris Kristofferson, W. Earl Brown, Jason Priestley, Peter Dinklage and Blu Mankuma.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
"Apes...do not want war!"
It has been ten years since their escape; a massive group of super-intelligent apes, led by Caesar(Andy Serkis), live deep in the woods and thrive in a hunting/gathering culture. A group of civilians not killed by the Simian Flu pandemic are gathered in San Francisco and have been degraded by civil unrest, economic collapse and a shortage of power. A small group of humans led by Malcolm(Jason Clarke)have found an abandon hydroelectric dam in the woods and being able to repair it and get it running again could provide much needed power to summon other survivors for help. But something has gone very wrong; an ape has discovered the group. An iffy peace agreement is reached between the humans and apes, but goes awry when a human gun is found that breaks the treaty. An all-out war is unable to avoid, with the conflict determining which species will dominate the planet.
This installment of the franchise seems to be written better and there is noticeable character development with the humans as well as the apes. Filmed in and around San Francisco, New Orleans and Canada...cinematography is outstanding. The CGI is awesome. There are intense sequences and images of violence which is understandable during brutal battle to the death.
The cast also includes: Gary Oldman, Terry Kebbell, Keri Russell, Nick Thurston, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Karin Konoval, Larramie Doc Shaw, Judy Greer and Kirk Acevedo.
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Outstanding war epic! A masterpiece!
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN is an instant American war epic. Directed by Steven Spielberg and deserving of its critical acclaim. The opening 27 minutes is a graphic and realistic depiction of the assault at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. An intensive and prolonged sequence featuring the brutality of combat. Captain John Miller(Tom Hanks)leads a Ranger Battalion ashore with intent of securing a beachhead. Graphic and intense images not for the faint of heart. Army Chief of Staff, George C. Marshall assigns Cpt. Miller and a select squad of six plus an interpretor to search for a paratrooper, Private James Francis Ryan(Matt Damon),the last surviving brother of four that have entered the war. At times Miller's squad wants to balk on the search, but pull together not in respect for Ryan, but Miller.
This movie was written by Robert Rodat and features a musical score by the acclaimed John Williams. Cinematography is more than outstanding and features amazing camera positioning. There is an all-star cast that also features: Tom Sizemore, Barry Pepper, Giovanni Ribisi, Edward Burns, Vin Diesel, Paul Giamatti, Adam Goldberg, Jeremy Davies, Ted Danson and Dennis Farina.
Jersey Boys (2014)
Street light harmony to the top.
Adapted from a very big hit on Broadway; Clint Eastwood directs this stroll down memory lane and gives a nostalgic peak in the makings of the group the Four Seasons. Four guys from the bad side of town make terrific harmony singing below street lights to cover for misdeeds going on. Not to say putting some criminal activity on the back burner, these running buddies could sing and sing they did. The Four Seasons, with Frankie Valli(John Lloyd Young)leading the act, became a powerhouse group of the 1960s and even fared well after the British Invasion fronted by The Beatles. Inside among the usual ups and downs of recording acts, member Tommy DeVito(Vincent Piazza)left when some of his shady deals came into the open and a tie to the Mob surfaced. Songwriter Bob Gaudio(Erich Bergen)teaming with Frankie were a guiding force. Producer Bob Crewe(Mike Doyle)was very influential to the sound that permeated concert venues and jukeboxes. Hits like "Rag Doll", "Walk Like A Man", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Dawn(Go Away)", "Sherry" and "Candy Girl" would cement the group in the history of Rock 'N' Roll. After bad times finally put a halt to the better times, Frankie Valli, full of his own personal heartbreak, would have to prove to himself he could continue making a living singing solo. A song called "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" showed the world he could.
This movie may never have the staying power the hit Broadway Musical had; but for people who dig this movie genre...JERSEY BOYS is a must see! Along side the great music, the cast also features: Michael Lomenda, Steve Schirripa, Christopher Walken, Lacey Hannah, Michael Patrick McGill, Johnny Cannizzaro and Kathrine Narducci.

Oh it is terrific!!!!!! I am so VERY HAPPY for you (and more than a wee bit envious... of all but the snake. LOL)
May you and your family enjoy many wonderful years in your new home, making new discoveries, treasured memories, and sharing happy times!
Thank you for sharing! These were worth the wait (and I KNOW my girls will love Gabby and Chloe's bedroom! It turned out perfect!)
P.S. I'm betting as the weather cools and the pool and creek aren't as much of an option that the trampoline will gain more use!
We just moved too, big pain in the butt!! Where did you move to? PM me

Where there's one turkey, there should be tons more!!!
That looks like a brown snake. Completely harmless and eats mice and large bugs.
Snapping turtle - my absolute favourite! I could show you how to safely carry them - not by the tail (could break it). They are also very neat to watch nest. You probably have other turtles too - painted and blandings likely.

A preliminary study of 150 people aged 20 to 35 has shown that more than one in 10 are suffering from severe problems with their memory.
Tiny study, actually, not even a study, a preliminary study, shows some people are stupid, and all of a sudden this is the headline I read... \"Computer-mad generation has a memory crash\" There are so many things wrong with this story I will not waste my time with it.
Please read the entire story critically, and make up your own mind.
Someone writes \"This is kind of interesting. Sirsi and Sagebrush Corporation have partnered to give Sagebrush a multiuser system to sell to the school market. Sagebrush has been buying marketshare for two years now and this allows them a slice of the pie that normally goes to the larger multiuser systems like Sirsi. None of the major vendors have shown any real talent in targeting this market. Whatt does this mean for Follet and Sirs? My guess is it doesn\'t hurt the bread and butter part of the business for Follet, the single school. To be truthful they could never win thoughs to begin with. However it does make Sagebrush more interesting to the multi-site school installations which are gravey to the larger vendors. So Sirsi now has someone dedicated to this market so that the other large vendors will have to fight for the large sites with the handicap of not really knowing the market.

Got these as end table lamps and am not disappointed! They add a nice look to the room and provide plenty of light when both bulbs are on. They were packed well and easy to assemble.

AMD Demonstrates Upcoming Fusion Chips at Computex
AMD Demonstrates Upcoming Fusion Chips at Computex
Jeffrey Burt
Posted 2010-06-02
AMD officials at Computex showed off one of the company's upcoming Fusion APUs, which combine a CPU, GPU and various accelerators on a single die, and which will be available for use in desktops and notebooks in the first half of 2011.
Advanced Micro Devices officials June 1 gave Computex attendees the first public demonstration of a Fusion processor, technology that is scheduled for release in the first half of 2011. Fusion is AMD's effort to create what the company is calling APUs (accelerated processing units), which bring together "CPU, GPU, video processing and other accelerator capabilities" on a single die.
AMD is integrating its x86 CPU expertise with the GPU technology acquired when it bought ATI for $5.4 billion in 2006.
During his address at the Computex show in Taipei, Taiwan, Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of AMD's Product Group, ran a clip of the recent film "Alien vs. Predator" on a system powered by a Fusion APU, according to reports. Bergman also showed off a wafer holding Fusion chips, though he reportedly would not let the media take photos of it. AMD officials have said the company is readying two versions of the Fusion APU-"Llanno" and a low-power model called "Ontario"-for release in the first half of 2011. The chip vendor already has sent out samples to certain customers. The goal is to create technology that can handle the visual and data-intensive workloads that are becoming more commonplace. AMD is not the only tech vendor seeing the trend. Cisco Systems officials June 2 predicted that
91 percent of all global consumer IP traffic will be video-based
by 2014.
AMD's representatives were joined onstage at Computex by Microsoft officials who talked about how the Fusion APUs would benefit users of Windows 7 and DirectX 11. In addition, AMD is working to expand the base of manufacturers that will incorporate Fusion chips into their systems. The company unveiled the AMD Fusion Fund, which will financially help companies that want to build systems that will run on the APUs. Projects that can be considered for funding include those involving application and tool development, device designs, and PC components. In late May,
AMD hired Manju Hegde,
vice president of rival Nvidia's CUDA technical marketing business, to run the Fusion program.

There's a lot more to the world we live in that what we can see with our eyes. The colours of the world that we see are merely a subset of the wide spectrum of available light, one that extends out in both directions in an infinite expanse of wavelengths. Beyond that there are countless other things happening around us which eyes simply can't perceive, that is until we construct something that allows us to see the world that's invisible to us. One such device is called a Cloud Chamber which allows us to see the streams of ionizing radiation that permeate throughout our world. The video below is probably the best example I've seen of one and it makes for some extremely soothing viewing:
It's striking to see the chamber light up constantly with just the background radiation that's ever present here on earth. Even if you're familiar with the idea of the world having a constant source of radioactivity it's still another thing to see it in action, the ionizing particles whizzing through the space at an incredibly rapid pace. Adding in a radioactive source is a great way to visualize what radioactive decay is and how various materials decay at different rates and in different ways.
Cloud Chambers played an important role in the early days of particle physics with the discovery of the positron (the anti-electron) and the muon. There have been numerous improvements to the devices in the time since they were first used with the modern day equivalents being solid state devices, typically cooled to cryogenic temperatures. Unfortunately the modern versions don't provide as good of a show as their historic counterparts did but we're able to do much better science with them than we ever were with a cloud chamber.
Looking at the ingredients labels on food can be both an insightful and frightening affair. I've long been in a habit of doing it and I always find it fun to research some of the more esoteric ingredients, well that is right up until I find out where some of them come from. It's the old adage of not finding out how the sausage is made, although in reality you should probably consider that with all things that you put in your body. Still when I watched the following video I was honestly surprised to see the outcome, as I didn't think the effect of extracting iron from cereal would be so dramatic:
The first half of the video explores the idea that there's elemental iron within cereal which can then be attracted by a magnet. Whilst this is true to some degree, the iron within the cereal will feel an attraction to a magnet, you can actually perform the exact same experiment with cereal that is bereft of any elemental iron content. This is because water is a diamagnetic material which is a fancy way of saying that in response to a magnetic field it will create its own inverse field in response. For the cereal and magnet experiment this means the water actually divots around the magnetic field which the piece of cereal then falls into. The iron in the cereal helps this process along of course, but it's not the only force at play here.
However the extraction of the iron from the cereal was pretty astonishing, especially considering just how simple it was to do. Trying to extract other elements from the cereal would prove a much harder endeavour which is why I think an experiment like this is such a powerful visual aid. You're literally seeing the iron being pulled from the food you eat which, in turn, makes you think about all the other things that are listed on the ingredients label. It might not be a particularly pretty picture that you end up with, but at least you'll be far more aware.
I wish I knew about these kinds of science experiments when I was a kid!
The war against bullshit is asymmetrical. I couldn't tell you how many times I've had someone stumble across my blog post and rattle off a paragraph or two which then took me 10 times as long to debunk. It's not so much that I don't have the evidence, they are always demonstrably wrong, however the amount of time required to provide the proof to debunk them always outweighs the time it takes for them to spout it. Thus whenever I come across something that can aid me and my fellow crusaders against bullshit I feel compelled to share it, in the hopes that one day we can turn the asymmetry over to our side so that, one day, spouting bullshit becomes the harder proposition.
And to that end I share with you the below video:
I've come across pretty much every argument in that video before however I've often struggled to find an answers that are succinct as his. Of course I'm under no delusions that this video would turn a hardcore denier around, they're a different breed of stubborn, however it does a great job of highlight the faults in the arguments that many more reasonable people make. His previous videos showed just how scattered the public's knowledge is on this subject and so this follow video will hopefully go a ways to improving that.
There's still a long fight ahead to convince the right people that proper action needs to be taken, something which us Australians should hopefully be able to rectify at the next election.
Ever since I can remember my joints have always been prone to popping and cracking. It was the worst when I was a child as I couldn't really sneak around anywhere without my ankles loudly announcing my presence, thwarting my attempt at whatever shenanigans I was up to. Soon after I discovered the joy of cracking my knuckles and most other joints in my body, much to the chagrin of those around me. However even though I was warned of health effects (which I'm pretty sure is bunk) I never looked up the actual mechanism behind the signature sound and honestly it's actually quite interesting:
Interestingly though whilst cavitation in the synovial fluid is one of the better explanations for where the sound originates there's still some other mechanisms which can cause similar audible effects. Rapid stretching of ligaments can also result in similar noises, usually due to tendons snapping from one position to another. Some sounds are also the result of less benign activities like tearing of intra-articular adhesions tearing, although that usually goes hand in hand with a not-so-minor injury to the joint.
There's also been a little more investigation into the health effects of cracking your knuckles than what the video alludes to. A recent study of 215 patients in the age range of 50 to 89 showed that, regardless of how long a person had been cracking their knuckles, there was no relationship between cracking and osteoarthritis in those joints. Now this was a retrospective study (in terms of people telling the researchers of how much they cracked their knuckles) so there's potential for biases to slip in there but they did use radiographs to determine if they had arthritis or not. There's no studies around other joints however, although I'd wager that the mechanisms, and thus their effects, are very similar throughout the body.
And now if you'll excuse me I'll be off to disgust my wife by cracking every joint in my body
Ever since I first saw a 3D printer I wondered how long it'd be before they'd start scaling up in size. Now I'm not talking about incremental size improvements that we see every so often (like with the new Makerbot Z18), no I was wondering when we'd get industrial scale 3D printers that could construct large structures. The steps between your run of the mill desktop 3D printer and something of that magnitude isn't a simple matter of scaling up the various components as many of the assumptions made at that size simply don't apply when you get into large scale construction. It seems that day has finally come as Suzhou Yingchuang Science and Trade Development Co has developed a 3D printer capable of creating full size houses:
Details the makeup of the material used, as well as its structural properties, aren't currently forthcoming however the company behind them claims that it's about 5 times as hard as traditional building materials. They're apparently using a few of these 3D printed buildings as offices for some of their employees so you'd figure they're somewhat habitable although I'm sure they're in a much more finished state than the ones shown above. Still for a first generation product they seem pretty good and if the company's claims hold up then they'd become an attractive way to provide low cost housing to a lot of people.
What I'd really be interested to see is how the cost and materials used compares to that of traditional construction. It's a well known fact that building new housing is an incredibly inefficient process with a lot of materials wasted in during construction. Methods like this provide a great opportunity to reduce the amount of waste generated as there's no excess material left over once construction has completed. Further refinement of the process could also ensure that post-construction work, like cabling and wiring, are also done in a much more efficient manner.
I'm interested to see how inventive they can get with this as there's potentially a world of new housing designs out there to exploited using this new method. That will likely be a long time coming however as not everyone will have access to one of these things to fiddle around with but I'm sure just the possibility of a printer of this magnitude has a few people thinking about it already.
Liquid nitrogen is a scientific staple that I'm sure we're pretty much all familiar with. It's a great demonstration of how the melting and boiling points can vary wildly and, of course, everyone loves shattering a frozen banana or two. However seeing the other stages of elemental gases is typically impossible as getting the required temperature is beyond the reach of most high school science labs. However there is a trick that we can use to, in essence, trick nitrogen into forming a solid: reducing the pressure to a near vacuum. The results of doing so are just incredible with the nitrogen behaving in some really peculiar ways:
The initial stages of the nitrogen transitioning into a solid is pretty standard with the reduced pressure resulting in the superheated boiling, plunging the temperature of the remaining liquid. The initial freezing is also something many will be familiar with as it closely mimics what happens when water freezes (although lacking water's peculiar property of expanding when freezing). The sudden, and rather explosive, crystalline formation after that however took me by surprise as I've never really seen anything of that nature before. The closest thing I could think of was the fracturing of a Prince Rupert's Drop although the propagation of the nitrogen crystalline structure seems to be an order of magnitude or two slower than that.
What really got me about this video is that it wasn't done by a science channel or vlogger, it's done by a bunch of chefs. Liquid nitrogen has been used in various culinary activities for over a century, mostly due to its extreme low temperatures which form much smaller ice crystals in the food that it chills. It should come as no surprise really as there's been a huge surge in the science behind cooking with the field of molecular gastronomy taking off in recent decades. It just goes to show that interesting science can be done almost anywhere you care to look and its applications are likely far more wide reaching than you'd first think.
I remember attending an exhibition about Leonardo Da Vinci a couple years ago and I was astounded by the complexity of some of the machines he created. It wasn't just that he'd figured out these things where no one else had, more it was some of the things that he designed didn't seem possible to me, at least with the technology he had available to him at the time. Ever since then I've had something of a fascination with mechanical structures, marvelling at creations that seem like they should be impossible. My favourite example of this is Theo Jansen's Strandbeests, a new form of life that he has been striving to create for the better part of 25 years.
All of his designs are essentially tensegrity structures (I.E. all parts of the structure are under constant tension) arranged in such a way that when an outside force, in this case the wind at a beach, acts on them they're able to walk. His initial designs only functioned when the wind was blowing however further designs, many of which you can see in the video, are able to store wind energy and then use it later through some rather clever mechanical engineering. Unfortunately I couldn't find the best video which has Theo explaining how they work as that one also shows another Strandbeest he created that would avoid walking itself into the ocean (something which I'm still not sure I understand how it works completely).
The idea of creating a new form of life, even if it doesn't meet the 7 rules for biological life, is a pretty exciting idea and one that's found an unlikely form of replication: 3D printing. After many people made their own versions of his Strandbeests (I even printed a simple one off, although it broke multiple times during assembly) Theo has made the designs available through Shapeways, essentially giving the Strandbeests a way to procreate. Sure it's not as elegant as what us biological entities have but the idea does have a cool sci fi bent to it that tickles me in all the right places.
Taken to its logical extreme I guess a Reprap that printed Strandbeests that assembled other Repraps would be the ultimate end goal, although that's both exciting and horrifying at the same time.
Nature is full of patterns. For the most part these all have an organic feel to them, usually due to the soft curves or seeming randomness that's inherent in it. Artificial things, like those constructed by man, have the opposite feel to them. Nothing highlights this more than when you compare the view of areas like sand dunes or dense forests against that of a city skyline. However every so often the lines between these two worlds seem to blur together with nature producing something that looks like it was forged by hand rather than by the natural processes of the world. One such example of this, and one I wasn't aware of until I saw this video, was the creation of salt cubes in the Dead Sea:
There are many processes by which things like this can occur, Bismuth is a great example of this, taking on shapes that look down right otherworldly in origin, unlike many other minerals that take on much more organic shapes in their natural form. However in the case of Bismuth as well as these salt cubes there's a simple explanation behind why they end up looking the way they do. For these salt cubes it comes down to the microscopic nature of the molecule, namely sodium chloride (table salt), manifesting itself in macro form.
The Dead Sea is a giant salt lake with an average salt content of around 35%. This is the perfect environment for salt crystals to form and since the solution is so saturated with salt the amount of impurities that make it into the crystal are relatively low. Thus the crystal structure grows in the most idyllic way which just so happens to be a square lattice. Whilst the cubes shown in the video are relatively small the limit on their size is no where near that, with square crystals able to grow up to several kilograms in size. If you were so inclined you could probably grow one several meters in size in a laboratory although the usefulness of such an activity would be highly questionable.
But you would have a giant cube of salt, no one could argue with that
Our spacecraft have reached nearly every corner of our solar system, from the barren sun baked world of Mercury to the (soon to be visited) frigid ice ball of Pluto. We've gazed at all of them from afar many times but there are precious few we have made even robotic footfall on, with only a single other heavenly body having human footprints on it. Still from those few where we've been able to punch through the atmosphere the scenery we've been greeted with has been both strangely familiar yet completely alien. Mars is most famous of these but few are aware of the descent video from the Huygens probe that it made on its way down to Titan's surface:
Titan gets its thick orange atmosphere from its mostly nitrogen atmosphere being tainted by methane which is thought to be constantly refreshed by cryovolcanoes on its surface. Whilst the mountain ranges and valleys you see were formed in much the same way as they were here on Earth those lakes you see in between them aren't water, but hydrocarbons. Indeed much of Titan's surface is covered in what is essentially crude oil although making use of it for future missions would likely be more trouble than its worth.
Still it's amazing to see worlds that are so like ours in one aspect yet completely foreign in so many other ways. This rare insight into what Titan looks like from on high is not only amazing to see but it has also provided invaluable insight into what Titan's world actually is. I honestly could watch videos like this for hours as it's just so mesmerizing to see the surface of worlds other than our own.
I loved Sonic the Hedgehog as a kid mostly because I could simply point myself in a single direction, mash the spin button and then watch as he flitted from one side of the screen to the other at breakneck speed. Whilst the physics of that particular game aren't rooted in reality some of the principles were namely the forces of momentum, inertia and, most importantly centripetal force. That last one is the force responsible for keeping objects pinned down when going through loop the loops although you usually only see it in action on roller coasters or special stunt vehicles. I honestly didn't think it'd be possible for a human to accomplish what our speedy blue friend did but it seems that, like many other things, I was wrong.
I was surprised to learn that the required speed to get around the loop safely was so low, well within the reach of anyone with a modicum of fitness. The real key here though is the technique as the way we humans generate force is vastly different to that of more traditional vehicles that can accomplish this feat. You see the force we generate isn't in line with the surface we're on, it's at something of a 45 degree angle, which means that as you get to the higher parts of the loop you'll actually be pushing yourself off it with your face heading directly towards the floor.
This becomes evident when you see the initial trial runs where he has to flip himself over at the peak of the loop. In the final, successful run you can see that when his foot hits the peak he doesn't actually use that to generate any force. Instead he's doing something like an upside down split kick with one foot travelling from one side of the loop to the other. It's incredibly impressive to say the least and just goes to show that given enough practice, persistence and good old fashioned science the impossible can be achieved.

"There is a misconception among people that cancer is incurable. It is curable when detected early, and both the doctor and the patient need to remain positive," said Dr. Anita Ramesh, Medical Oncology, Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, Sri Ramachandra University.
Speaking at 'Freedom From Cancer' – an event organised for cancer survivors to narrate their success battle with the disease on August 14, she said that one can lead a normal life after undergoing treatment for cancer.
The event was a perfect opportunity to bust myths and misconceptions related to cancer.
Many who have conquered the disease shared their experiences on the occasion. "There has been an improvement in cancer treatment due to rapid advances in medical sciences. Chemotherapy and radiation have helped many people overcome the disease. It is necessary not to miss the follow-up care appointments after the treatment ends," she added.
NAEYAM (Nidhi Alumni for Education of Youth and Advancement of Mankind), a Charitable Trust formed by Alumni of AJS Nidhi Higher Secondary School, Alandur, organised the Independence Day Festival 'ID Fest 2012' on August 14 and 15 in the school premises.
Various competitions such as fancy dress, skit, patriotic songs, exhibitions, face painting, speech with quiz, etc, were organised on August 14 to promote the feeling of patriotism among the students. P. Sanjay Gandhi, Additional Government Pleader, Chennai High Court, who was the guest of honour, distributed prizes and certificates to the winners of various competitions. Sanjay Gandhi, who is also the President of Intellectual Property Rights Attorney Association, gave an inspirational speech with highlights from his own life that motivated him to take up charitable services to the needy.
The highlight of the programme was the exhibition organised by the students themselves.

Ok, I have run into another problem. I am still trying to verify the paper trail from Robert Reece (Reese) to his father Oscar "Fritz" and his father. I orignally though it was James Alexander born 02/29/1843 in TN, died 12/30/1918. However, now I find a death cert. for an Alexander Lancaster with the same dates, father listed as Caleb Lancaster from TN and mother Geoma Golden from TN. I Also found a death cert. for John Lancaster born 08/29/1868, death 11/15/1929, parents Alex Sanford Lancaster from Tn and Talitha Thompson from TN. Could there really have been two Lancaster's that were born and died on the same days. Help! Notify Administrator about this message?

Gwinnett Daily Post
Exotic locales and beautiful maidens, a magical genie and all kinds of dance will fill the Suwanee Town Center Park stage this weekend as Suwanee Performing Arts Inc. presents "Aladdin" and "Ali Babba and the 40 Thieves." And it's free.
Spokesman Jeffrey Scott Bailey, fresh from filming on the set of the new Miley Cyrus movie, has a lot of enthusiasm for the two shows. "Our mission is to provide professional level musical performances to the Gwinnett public, and we are really delivering with these two shows," Bailey said. The performances will be tonight and Saturday. "Ali Babba" begins at 8 p.m. and "Aladdin" at 9 p.m. "The 'Aladdin' production will be very different from the Disney movie," Bailey, the show's director and choreographer, said. "We came at it from a totally different angle. I wanted to contemporize the show. Now it's more like a rock concert combined with a '70s disco." "Aladdin" has a cast of approximately 35 and "Ali Babba" approximately 30. Contemporary Christian Recording Artist Paul Tate serves as music director. Playing the leads will be a group of talented local teens. Steven Jones is Aladdin, Jordan Forte is Jasmine, while Kayla Humphries is the Genie. Abby Capri is Iago and Alex Cornell will play Jafar. The five narrators will be Lauren Dawidowicz, Emily McDonald, Christina Daves, Olivia Hyatt and Lucy Gross. "We knew we're not getting Robin Williams to play the Genie, but we have Kayla with this great voice. She's a terrific pop/gospel, Patti Labelle-type. And the dance numbers are off the page. They go from dream ballets, contemporary numbers, hip hop, to classic jazz," Bailey said. Another remarkable facet to the production is the special effects. "Our lighting and sound is by In Concert Productions who have created effects for every big name in the business," Bailey said. "Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keyes, even Cirque du Soliel. Their representative Jay Rabbitt has been an incredible partner with us. This fabulous company is bringing the most professional staff and designers to produce the highest quality performance." The young performers are being well prepared for a professional career as well. "They rehearse as if this is an Equity show," Bailey said. "They work hard six to seven hours a day and even vote when to take breaks, just as if they were on an Equity show." "Ali Babba and the 40 Thieves" is part of Suwanee Performing Arts' "Page to Stage" program where new writers and composers submit work that would compliment the theme of the planned program. "Ali Babba" definitely fits the bill thematically. Writers Teri Kahn, Patty Etherton and Berneta Bock Davis, along with Bailey, created the show. Although the performances are free to the public, 80 sponsor tables with catering by Ippolito's are available front and center. These special tables can be reserved by calling 678-482-6333.

From the moment that my fiancé and I stepped onto the Yacht ("Cocoon") to the "dulces (candy)" in the evening, we were consistently impressed with Villa Rolandi!
As we boarded Cocoon, we expected others to join us. But, after the crew pushed back from the dock, we realized that we were the only ones on the yacht for the trip from Cancun to Isla Mujeres! We immediately felt "especial!"
Victor (the Concierge) greeted us on the dock as we arrived at the hotel. He spoke English very well (educated in the USA). As we approached the hotel, we were given a refreshing drink (served in champagne glasses) and towels "to refresh ourselves." We sat in the lobby...amazed at the beauty of our surroundings.
Victor escorted us to our room. We booked a Jr. Suite on the third floor (Room 305). The view was unbelievable! We were overlooking the pool, a private beach, coconut trees, the Caribbean Sea and a priceless view of Cancun (on the other side of the Caribbean Sea). Each patio was extremely private for eating breakfast each morning and nights in the hot tub! We marveled at the design of the hotel in that the architect was very clever in how the rooms were arranged to maximize each guest's privacy.
We had dinner the first night in the restaurant. Everything we ordered was excellent! And, the wait staff was very attentive. We watched the sunset while we ate dinner....
The bed was EXTREMELY comfortable. I finally got a good night's sleep for the first time since my fiancé and I traveled to Burton, Texas to "get away from it all."
My fiancé enjoyed snorkeling in the water, while I watched crabs play in the sand. Juarez (waiter on the beach) was very attentive to us. We were never thirsty while sitting on our beach chairs under the umbrella. As we visited other parts of Isla Mujeres, I appreciated the private beach even more -- no extra charges for the chair/umbrella and not having to "fend off" solicitors while enjoying the sun and waves crashing against the shore.
Reason that I entitled my review "Fantasy Island?" We felt like we were in a fantasy land the entire time we were at this hotel. We wanted to ask Victor where "Tattoo" was...as we never saw Tattoo the entire time we were there. But, we did find this hotel to be a fantasy come true!
Thank you Hotel Villa Rolandi for a perfect vacation

There are rumors doing the rounds that Russia is selling gold. My first reaction to this news was that is contradictory to what Putin stands for. Russia has been the most openly aggressive buyer of gold in the past years and Putin never made it a secret he wants to move away from the US dollar as the world reserve currency – gold potentially playing a role in a new monetary order. The last thing Russia wants to do is sell the asset they have demonstrated to value the most. Besides, the Russian central bank (CBR) also has other FX reserves that it could sell to support the Ruble, if it wants to intervene.
The rumors about Russia selling gold were spread by Yahoo, Business Insider, and Zero Hedge/SocGen. Two other bloggers already did the debunking for us; Market Update wrote about Yahoo's article and Bron Suchecki just published a must read on Zero Hedge/SocGen/Business Insider.
The final confirmation came from Vladimir himself. Yesterday the President of Russia gave his yearly press conference. When journalist Vyacheslav Terekhov (Interfax) asked about the crisis Russia currently is in, Putin made a clear statement:
VYACHESLAV TEREKHOV: There is something I would like to clarify, Mr President. Judging by the situation in the country, we are in the midst of a deep currency crisis, one that even Central Bank employees say they could not have foreseen in their worst nightmares.
Do you believe that things will get better in two years, as you mentioned, and we will recover from this financial and economic crisis? Criticism was piled on the Government and the Central Bank for the ruble's Black Monday and Tuesday. Do you agree with this criticism?
VLADIMIR PUTIN: I said that given the most unfavourable foreign economic situation this could last (approximately, because no one can say for certain) for about two years. However, it may not last that long and the situation could take a turn for the better sooner.continued bullionstar

There are actually TWO Barnhardt Axioms. The second Barnhardt Axiom is:
Seeking and/or holding office, especially national-level office, is today, in and of itself, proof that a given person is psychologically and morally unfit to hold public office.
The first, older Barnhardt Axiom is:
If you can't stand in front of something and physically defend it with a firearm, then you don't own it, and probably never did.
The fifth largest Commodity trading company (not a brokerage firm per se, but specializing in trading commodities in both the physical and on paper) just announced that they are ceasing ALL gold trading activity. Why? Because the PHYSICAL GOLD that is allegedly stored and/or backing the paper markets ISN'T THERE, everyone knows it, and they want out before the manure impacts the rapidly spinning airfoils.
This is called a "mokita", from a language in Papua New Guinea, meaning "a truth everybody knows but nobody speaks".
Yup. I've been saying this for years. COMEX warehouse receipts are a joke, as are ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds). I wonder what the factor is on "owners" of each serial number? Kyle Bass was beyond smart to get his physical gold out of COMEX years ago – essentially cashing out of the Ponzi super-early, before it collapsed, which is the one and only viable strategy when one finds oneself unwittingly in a Ponzi – as Bass did with regards to COMEX.
Kyle Bass says COMEX can't deliver ...video
Last month DeutscheBank also announced that it would cease all physical precious metals trading. Yup. The jig is up, methinks. The metal simply isn't there, and these people are getting out not out of a profound sense of moral responsibility, but rather like vermin exiting a sinking ship. How does one defend oneself when after taking delivery of a certain bar, or even just owning on paper, and fifty other claimants show up, each carrying a warehouse receipt with exactly the same serial number?

I've met privately with many central bankers. Don't ever think they know what they're doing, My 3-min video explains:
2.76 million views. Scam is still in full bloom. The shell game of open market operations is explained in detail, along with the fractional reserve ponzi scheme.
Perfect video for today's meeting.

As historic events unfold around us, and with markets moving so quickly around the globe, I thought we should try something different today. Hopefully this open thread provides a forum for the free exchange of ideas and opinions as well as headline updates for all the global markets.
My opinion is this:
With overt sanctions against Russia having minimal impact, the U.S. set out on a course of covert sanctions last summer. Among these was a plan to manipulate down the paper price of crude oil as Russia derives nearly 15% of its national income from the sale of crude.
Once price broke $90, the spec algos took over and the growing momentum of the trade has driven price well beyond what the central planners originally thought possible. Now closing in on $50, the decline has imperiled all sorts of economies, currencies and derivatives around the globe.
Chief among those imperiled is the original target, Putin's Russia, which has seen the ruble devalue by nearly 50% in past few months, 20% in just the past few days. The US and NATO are already fighting a proxy war versus Russia in Ukraine. How might these events intensify the battles there?
And there are all sorts of other "unknown unknowns" here:
The $4T in US TBTF bank commodity derivatives, the majority of which are linked to crude oil.
The collapsing currencies and equity markets of other crude oil producing nations.
The US high yield bond market with an abundance of debt issued by energy companies.
Might even Russia surprise the world by "thinking outside the box", if you get my drift?
So, anyway, please discuss all of this here and be sure to add your own ideas and theories. I'm going to make this a public thread so that anyone stopping by will have the opportunity to explore the collective wisdom of Turdville.

Citigroup is the Wall Street mega bank that forced the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999; blew itself up as a result of the repeal in 2008; was propped back up with the largest taxpayer bailout in the history of the world even though it was insolvent and didn't qualify for a bailout; has now written its own legislation to de-regulate itself; got the President of the United States to lobby for its passage; and received an up vote from both houses of Congress in less than a week.
And there is one more thing you should know at the outset about Citigroup: it didn't just have a hand in bringing the country to its knees in 2008; it was a key participant in the 1929 collapse under the moniker National City Bank. Both the U.S. Senate's investigation of the collapse of the financial system in 1929 and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) that investigated the 2008 collapse cited this bank as a key culprit.

It looks like Jim Sinclair isn't going to get into a #$%$ match with a writer that refuses to give his name and is worried about being sued if he comes clean. From the comments section of his latest...
This article is designed to call out a CEO by name, shouldn't it work both ways? Thanks
You should focus on the analysis and conclusions and not my true identity. James Emerson is a pseudonym so of course SUNY hasn't heard of me.
Even Kramer Miller uses his name .. even a photo ! ... In my opinion JAMES EMERSON is an opportunistic short looking for liquidity thats all ...
Independent researcher Steve St. Angelo (SRSrocco)
Mr. Emerson says he doesn't use his real name because he could be sued by Jim Sinclair. Nice excuse, but still a lousy one at that.
Mr. Emerson isn't revealing his name because he's a fraud. Why else would he lie about working at a university? It's one thing to create an alias, but another to lie and make up false titles.
As for suing, the reason why Sinclair can't sue is because SeekingAlpha is based in Israel and is untouchable in terms of lawsuits.
My Dear Extended Family,
The blogger named James Emerson does not exist. He or she is writing under an assumed name, on a website operated by a company based offshore, and Tanzanian Royalty does not give credence to any commentator who refuses to be accountable. In addition, the company cannot by law give selective disclosure to reporters, but must disseminate the same information to all investors. Investors should refer to the company's news release dated December 9, 2014.
If you have any questions about the company, please feel free to phone Tanzanian Royalty directly. We aim to dispel any lies and to address any concerns you may have. You may also call me directly at my office or on my cell. The numbers are as follows:
Office: 844 364 1830
Cell: 860 671 0846
Respectfully yours,
He may have been referring to....
2) Why does Tanzanian Royalty believe that no payment is due to Stamico pursuant to Article 5.2(c) of the JV Agreement?
I copied and pasted some questions from the board and told him I thought it was a waste of time since you folks have been bashing TRX since 2011. He did thank me for trying.
You proved my point about getting answers from him. All you are going to do is pick things apart.
The answer I received about money being owed to Stamico was the same... In the contract is is clearly stated that if the time delay is a product of delay by the government that delay does not impact our time schedule. We are well in advance of that.
If you need to know something he is able to answer, call him like anyone else does, with the exception of AKA Emerson and folks that are playing the short side.
I am interested in the company and would like to know the answer to the following questions?
1) What is the 'Effective Date' as defined in the Joint Venture Agreement for the Re-Development of Buckreef Gold Mine?
A.. In the contract is is clearly stated that if the time delay is a product of delay by the government that delay does not impact our time schedule. We are well in advance of that.
Investor relations replied with an invitation to speak with Mr. Sinclair. I am somewhat surprised that they responded and not at all surprised that they didn't answer any questions. I guess I am going to have to get a burner phone. Hopefully, Mrs. Bochat won't find out out or she will be very suspicious
A.. communicating with the CEO of this company is quite easy. you just did.
JJ. Relbo didnt get any answers thats fact. Wrong! An invitation to speak with Mr. Sinclair is not an attempt at communication? Relbo's mission wasn't to get answers, it was to lie to his wife and mislead investor relations, using a burner phone. Alltför dåligt!

relbochat does have reason to worry about his wife finding his burner phone. Being a Title One Specialist and member of the amazing Walnut family, could hamper his lies to her. I do commend her for teaching and having the will to reside in the same house.
My name is Deedra Bochat and I am beyond thrilled to be part of the amazing Walnut family. This is my fourth year at Walnut and my second year teaching 4th grade, and first year in 5th. Previously, I worked in the CVUSD for six years as a Computer Specialist, Title One Specialist, and First grade teacher. I received my Teaching Credential and Masters through Cal Lutheran University.
You can't say, I didn't make an attempt at putting the parties together to get fact. AKA Emerson is another story. He writes articles on assumption, that are designed to help his short positions of the hedge fund he works for. He was quite capable of contacting Mr. Sinclair and getting the facts. I used the AKA Emerson model of assumption, locating relbochat's wife. That is how the model works.

And just like that, the list of countries who want to repatriate their gold just increased by one more, because after Venezuela, Germany, the Netherlands, sorry Switzerland, and rumors of Belgium, we now can add Austria to those nations for whom the "6000 year old barbarous relic bubble" is more than just "tradition."
From Bloomberg:
Austrian Central Bank Mulls Relocating London Gold: Standard
The Austrian state audit court says central bank should address concentration risk of storing 80% of its gold reserves with the Bank of England, Standard reports, citing draft audit report. Court advises central bank to diversify storage locations, contract partners.
Austrian central bank reviewing gold storage concept, doesn't rule out relocating some of its gold from London to Austria: Standard cites unidentified central ank officials. Austria has 280 tons gold reserves, according to 2013 annual report. Austrian Audit Court Will Review Nation's Gold Reserves in U.K.

SEC Chief Seeks Mutual Fund Stress Tests (link)
Is she worried about the large body of mutual funds that bloated up with derivatives? Is she worried about the lack of liquidity in the bond market? Did Mary Jo White see a burning bush that spoke to her about the system derivatives risk embedded in every crevice of the financial markets?
I warned everyone less than a year ago to get out of your bond mutual funds. Get out NOW. A good friend of mine who is a hedge fund consultant told me yesterday that he spoke to a big bond fund manager who is terrified about the lack of liquidity in the corporate bond market. This guy couldn't get a bid on some paper he wanted to sell this week. A year ago he could have moved it in one phone call.
The system is collapsing. We have seen several clear indications of that just this week…
Why have you not refuted 1 thing that emerson said? Are you in on it also?
Just for you...the company does not owe the money. If "AKA" Emerson, had called Sinclair before writing the article, he could have had an article with both sides of the situation told. Its like that Rolling Stone article that had to be retracted. I have been a shareholder TRE since it came out on the AMEX.
I have not been posting because of all the BS. "No, I am not in on anything". I learned how to use a telephone. Most on this board will not, because it goes against their agenda.
Performance clauses work both ways. There is no money owed.
Thanks for the smart #$%$ reply. I was working on getting your answers, but you just blew it with me.
Actually i emailed investor relations 7 questions. I have yet to receive an answer.
I mentioned to him, someone on this message board said they emailed him and hadn't received a reply. He said all his emails have been answered. You can call him.
There is no whisper date. They have used mega generators.
