Some see magic, some see it as just another 12
Thursday, December 13, 2012
DOVER — As Dec. 12, with the triple-digit date 12-12-12, came and went Wednesday, some evening restaurant-goers and downtown Dover window-shoppers said they were excited, while others were indifferent regarding the occasion.
"To me, it's just a special 'Happy birthday to mom,' and it's a day that you do something special. It's 12-12-12 and it will never happen again," Meyreles said, with a laugh. "(And) if I were ever to get married, today would definitely be the day for it."
Nicholas Munyan, also of Dover, said the existential aspects of the day donned on him earlier - this will be the last 12-12-12 date, or any triple date, he will ever experiences.
"We were talking today at work about how it's the last triple digit date of our entire lives because we'll definitely be dead by the next one which is pretty upsetting," he said. "My boss was there she said, 'Wow, we'll all be dead.'"
"For me it's just been crazy finals so it's been nothing but a passing thought, nothing but a passing thought," he said, adding jovially. "So, bad timing."

POSTED: Thursday, January 31, 2013 - 2:00am
UPDATED: Thursday, January 31, 2013 - 2:04am
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The future of once-mighty Research in Motion rests on its new Blackberry 10 operating system -- a fact RIM played up Wednesday by changing its name to BlackBerry.
The surprise move came as the company kicked off a series of around-the-world events unveiling BlackBerry 10, along with the first two devices to run on the new platform.
The Z10, which features an all-touch keyboard, is rolling out over the next several weeks. It hits the United Kingdom on Thursday, Canada on February 5, the United Arab Emirates on February 10. The United States won't see the Z10 until sometime in March.
The Z10 will cost about C$150 on a 3-year contract in Canada, but pricing wasn't announced for other countries. Pricing and release dates were also withheld for the Q10, the second BlackBerry 10 device, which features a classic BlackBerry tactile keyboard.
BlackBerry 10 is meant to be the linchpin of RIM's turnaround, and it's been a long time coming: The software was originally slated for release in early 2012. That was pushed to late 2012, and pushed again to the first quarter of 2013.
It was damning news for RIM, whose market share in the U.S. has plummeted. Now, RIM has to prove BlackBerry 10 was worth the long wait.
Before unveiling the software on Wednesday, CEO Thorsten Heins talked about the company's major changes over the past year.
"We have redefined ourselves inside and out," Heins said. "RIM becomes BlackBerry! It is one brand, it is one promise." The audience murmured loudly after the name-change announcement.
Heins discussed the company's struggles, referring to them as a "journey of transformation," after antics that included a man cutting off his ponytail in the middle of the audience. "CrackBerry Kevin," an avid fan, had pledged not to cut his hair until BlackBerry 10 launched.
BlackBerry 10 will run on a smaller number of devices and include essential smartphone features like a much-improved camera, a modern Web browser and social-networking integration.
BlackBerry 10 will launch with 70,000 apps, which RIM executives said is "by far" the most for a first-generation platform. RIM called out Skype, Amazon Kindle, Angry Birds, Box and more as app highlights. Some popular apps are missing at launch, though, including Netflix, Spotify, Pandora and Google Maps.
Heins started with the consumer-friendly features. The BlackBerry Hub is a catchall for communications like email, texts, and Facebook. BlackBerry Flow lets users toggle between apps by swiping, rather than using the home button.
But RIM is still focusing on its bread and butter: the workplace. The software lets users access e-mail with one swipe from any app, and shift between personal and corporate modes.
Executives pushed hard Wednesday on that work/life divide, the foundation for a feature called BlackBerry Balance. It lets users keep their corporate and personal information completely separate. Users can toggle between the two modes, but they're not able to copy a message, for example, from the corporate mode and paste it into the personal.
Balance is clearly a bid to make corporate folks happy. A major part of BlackBerry's decline comes from its losses in the enterprise market. Companies have been increasingly willing to let employees work on phones they choose -- a phenomenon known as Bring Your Own Device -- and they're overwhelmingly selecting hardware from rivals.
Meanwhile, BlackBerry competitors like Apple, Google and Microsoft have worked hard to improve their security and e-mail delivery capabilities. As a result, corporate IT departments have opened their once-restrictive gates to non-BlackBerry devices.
Other BlackBerry 10 features include BBM video calling, which also lets users share screens with each other, and a Story Maker app that automatically stitches photos into a video clip and sets them to music.

Passover is in about 2 weeks 1 week 2 days tomorrow tonight, and for many people this is a time of year that they dread. I try to think of it as a fun challenge. I mean, look, I'm not that pollyanna, but it's only 8 days, so why not embrace it? Use this opportunity to get back to basics, cook simply, and use fresh ingredients whenever possible.
I hosted the seders for my family for 3 (or maybe it was only 2?) years in a row and developed a few guiding principles to get me through the ordeal family gathering. We had a lot of the food catered, but I made many salads, soups, and desserts. And I vowed to never buy a boxed pesadik cake mix again!
My Passover philosophy is pretty simple:
- fresh fruits
- roasted veggies
- interesting salads
- recipes that are normally made flour-free
- forget the matzah once the seders are over
Over the next 2 weeks, I will introduce you to my favorite Passover recipes but I wanted to compile the recipes already on my site that you can use as you plan your not-so-traditional seders.
I am Ashkenazi, therefore, I have not included any recipes that include kitniot (translated as legumes and includes beans, peas, peanuts, corn, rice). As the old joke goes, if anyone knows a Sephardic Dutch man (eats kitniot + only waits 1 hour between meat and milk…) who is tall, brilliant, sensitive …you know what to do.
I have color coded the recipes the traditional colors for dairy, meat, or parve. And pink for fancy cocktails (who gets to make cocktails over Passover unless you're in South Beach?)
Main Courses:
- Meatballs with Saffron Sunset Sauce/Chems al Aachi/Boulettes de Viande et Sauce Crépuscule – a Moroccan dish with a saffron-infusion that is in the meatballs and in the sauce; make with matzah meal instead of bread crumbs for Passover. NOTE – I have seen on one website that saffron is listed as kitniot under the category of seeds, but this does not make sense, since saffron is the dried stigma of a crocus flower. Check with your rabbi if you are unsure.
- Baked Brie sans Croûte with Caramelized Onions — great for a lunch with friends (just make with a smaller brie — Les Petites Fermieres – "the little farmgirls" makes an O-K hechshered brie that is specifically kosher for Pesach) — thank you to Caroline in Atlanta for pointing out that this would make a great Passover dish
- Parmesan Crisps - these crisps are great to add to a soup to make it seem fancier than it is; NOTE, the Kale and White Bean Soup that I made these to accompany is NOT kosher for Passover for Askenazim and others who do not eat kitniot
- Spinach Salad with Slow-Roasted Tomatoes and Mushrooms
- Salade Mira-Noa - the only adaptation required to make this pesadik is to leave out the za'atar since it contains hyssop and sesame (seeds) and therefore kitniot; a reader, Ariela, shared her preference for cilantro in this type of salad and I think it sounds perfect!
- Monochromatic Fennel and Pistachio Salad - This is the salad that opened me up to anise flavors. From a Passover standpoint, I believe it's OK, but there's one little glitch that I believe is just a little nomenclature mix-up. "Fennel" is listed as kitniot, but this must be referring to fennel seeds, NOT fennel bulbs, fronds, etc. So, I'm fairly comfortable putting this salad up here. After all, the whole seeds as kitniot is largely a ma'arat eyin (inspiring a false visual impression – since seeds can look like grains; eyin means eye) issue, not "ma'arat oznayim" (my made-up terminology… inspiring a false auditory impression; oznayim means ears). But, double check with your rabbi.
- Carrot-Coriander-Cilantro Soup - Just leave out the coriander (a seed and therefore kitniot). Note, does require an immersion blender, but you can buy an inexpensive one for Passover only (I keep mine parve) and this will really transform your culinary experience for the whole week
- Chocolate & Zucchini's Cauliflower Soup with Turmeric and Hazelnuts/Soupe de Chou-Fleur, Curcuma, et Noisette - I made this for my "noodles and nuggets" meal and it was a big hit with some of the kids; again, requires an immersion blender
Cocktails: we might have 4 cups of wine at the seder, but who doesn't need a good cocktail later in the week?
- Lavender Cosmopolitan – try it with a splash of some fresh juice (cranberry juice is usually not K for P becuase it contains corn syrup)
- Basil Lemon Drop – all fresh fruits, herbs – perfect for Passover!
Here's the deal – both of these drinks use vodka which can be found for Passover (made from potatoes). The following brands can be found with an OU-P for passover: Binyamina, Carmel, Yikvei Zion, and Kedem. Make a simple syrup (bring to boil water and sugar in 2:1 ratio until dissolves) and infuse with whatever herbs you desire.
- Roasted Squash Seeds - if you make something with squash, don't throw out the seeds, but clean and roast them
- Sugared and Spiced Nuts – make these with sugar and cinnamon which is easy to find in Passover and thrown on salad, or just keep in a bowl on the table and serve with dessert
Also, I have found that Passover is a great time to stock up on some pantry basics because many grocery stores carry more than their usual supply of kosher ingredients. For example, Passover 2008 was the first year that I ever saw Traverso white balsamic vinegar from Chile (see Resources). And many olive oils and balsamics emerge from the woodwork as well. Think of this as a time to explore (while you're bemoaning everything else…)
Here is a picture of the K for P spices I saw on a recent trip to Kosher Marketplace in NYC:
The spices on display here are made by Pereg and are, in alphabetical order:
(ground) allspice
basil leaves
bay leaves
(whole) chile peppers
(Mexican) chili powder
cinnamon sticks and ground cinnamon
coriander leaves
(ground) cumin – ONLY FOR THOSE WHO EAT KITNIOT
(green) dill
garlic powder
(granulated) garlic
(ground) ginger
mint leaves
(ground) nutmeg
(hot red) paprika
(sweet red) paprika
(ground black) pepper
(whole black) pepper
(ground white) pepper
(ground) turmeric
various spice mixes

Hi: 10° Lo:5°
By Chris Willmott Thursday 22 November 2012 Updated: 22/11 09:59
DEVASTATED workers at the Hovis plant in Garretts Green have spoken of their heartache at discovering their jobs are to be axed.
The owner of Hovis - Premier Foods - is to close two bakeries and cut 900 jobs as part of plans to overhaul the struggling bread business.
And the biggest impact will be felt in Garretts Green, where 511 jobs are to be lost with the closure of the factory and distribution operation.
Hovis operations at Greenford, west London, will also close, costing 196 jobs, while Premier Foods is also preparing to shut distribution sites at Plymouth and Mendlesham, Suffolk.
The closures are subject to consultation with employees but are scheduled to take place during the course of 2013.
One devastated employee told The Observer the news had left a black cloud over their family.
"Losing your job at any time is devastating, but there is something especially heartbreaking about it being at Christmas - the one time of the year where you try to forget all about your worries and just enjoy yourself," they said.
"That plan is out of the window now - I'm going to be spending most of it stressing and worrying about how I will pay the bills next year."
Another worker, who did not wish to be named, said staff had been expecting some sort of cuts after losing the supermarket deal, but not the closure of the entire factory.
"We can't believe it," he said.
"You go into work one day without a care and come home with a whole bag of them.
"I'm no spring chicken so getting another job at my age is going to be really difficult - I have no idea what I'm going to do to get by."
St Albans-based Premier, which also makes Mr Kipling cakes and Bisto gravy, has seen its Hovis division hit by intense competition in the bread market and a surge in wheat price inflation caused by poor weather.
It is set to lose a £75m-a-year contract with a major grocery chain from the middle of next year after failing to agree a new deal and is cutting 130 distribution routes and closing the supply centres to take into account the expected reduction in volumes.
The area's links with the Hovis brand, which began in 1886, are set to be cut.

Heatstroke, Scene #02
Hot House Video
- 8.4/10
Johnny Ryder spends the afternoon doing his two favorite things: swimming and fucking his boyfriend Brandon Jones. The muscular hunk jumps out of the pool and goes to his room where he finds Brandon asleep and naked on the bed. Johnny wakes him by massaging Brandon's big bubble-butt and sucking on his fat uncut cock. Now wide awake, Brandon pushes Johnny onto his back so he can feast on Ryder's big dick. The juicy blow job drives Johnny to the edge but he's not ready to blow yet; he needs to get his fuck on. He throws Brandon on all fours and eats his ass then stands up and shoves his hard cock deep into his lover's hungry hole. Johnny fucks a load out of Brandon then drains his nuts all over Brandon's washboard abs.

First stand.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Been biking for a long time! Finally pulled the trigger on a stand (tired of maintenance/cleaning being a chore). I'm glad I did, this is a quality stand and extremely sturdy. Several friends recommended this particular one. I concur.
First repair stand I ever owned
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have never owned a repair stand before but always wanted one, usually when I was in the middle of something working on the bike. This is a solid, well made, well thought out stand that is functional and easy to use. Rock solid base, quality machining. Just a fine piece of equipment. I am obsessive about my bike and the tools I own. I just can't find anything to complain about. Super bike stand.
Ben C
Awesome all-around stand
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
We use these for our shop. They fold easily for transit on backpacks or in the bike trailer, and setup in a few seconds. Sturdy clamping mechanisms isn't quite our shop vice, but will hold plenty steady. Tripod legs not out of the way as much as some of the 2-leg versions are, but not bad. Look for it on sale and you won't regret.

I just received the black sport mechanic stand (bought from you guys) as a gift. It has a simple spin clamp. Does Feedback Sports make the Pro Classic or the Pro Elite slider-style clamps available separately as an upgrade if I ever want to get one in the future? Thanks.
Laura K Stewart
We can special order you a clamp head or arrange a drop ship direct from Feedback. Please feel free to contact us for more question: email@example.com
Thank you.

Can't go wrong.
Great repair stand. Really good quality. Wished I had bought one of these years ago. Pick one up on sale and save some $$
Damon Salter
Way better than I expected
It a fact fact once you use a repair stand it is hard to use the old flip the bike over method to clean and work on your bikes. After borrowing my brothers Park PRS-25 stand over the winter I knew I needed one of my own.
I really liked the Park stand and had no complaints about it except the $300 price tag and the fact that I blew the stand over when power washing my cross bike more that once.
When I saw the Feedback Sports Pro Classic the features and the price looked competitive so I gambled and bought it. Was I in for a treat. The Pro Classic stand is super light, 11 pounds on my scale. It folds down way smaller than the park too.
One thing I love about the stand is that it is solid as hell. The three legs are ideal compared to two because I provides a huge surface that stays upright and handles uneven surfaces well. The legs can be folder out all the way for a wide base for bottom bracket of heavy bikes our can be left only partially open if you need the space to maneuver around, like in a cyclocross pit.
The method jaws are convenient and secure, but work best on seatpost and round tubes. Aero posts and frame tubes are a bit funky to work with. THis is one place the PRS-25 has an advantage. The jaws on the park are super quick to engage and disengage on various tube shapes. Taking the bike off the stand is a little slower on this stand also. The step up feedback pro elite stand has a push button release which would be nice if you are constantly taking bikes on and off the stand.
Overall I am happy I tried the Feedback Pro Classic stand and I am super impressed on the quality and functionality. It look pretty sweet as well.
Is this repair stand made in the USA or...
Is this repair stand made in the USA or elsewhere?
If elsewhere, where?
Damon Salter
It didn't say anywhere on the stand itself but on the box it says "made in taiwan".
Why didn't I buy a stand years ago?
This thing rocks, and breaks down fast / easy and extremely portable.
Worth every penny.
A sure bet
I recently purchased this bike stand and I find set up smooth and effortless. It sure makes my routine maintenance a breeze.
Love it
This stand was recommended to me by a friend and savvy bike mechanic. I can find nothing that I dislike about this stand. It is sturdy but lightweight and suites my needs perfectly. Also the shipping was super fast. I have an APO address and usually expect to wait weeks for things that I order online to show up; turnaround this time was about a week.
Quick and solid.
Sets up fast and easy. More sturdy than I expected. Keep in my van next to my bike. Handy for the rash of flats I've had lately. I'm sold.
Yup, it really is that good.
Rock-solid sturdy, easy to use, stores conveniently in any corner. Holds the frame securely (sometimes takes an extra crank after you've been tinkering with it for a bit, like someone else noted, but I don't think this is a big deal), and it's super easy to rotate the bike around and change the height even after you've mounted it on the stand, which is major plus. And that zippy red finish...rowr. It even looks good in the living room.
repair stand
best stand i ever used & owned. light weight,strong, very good design
Great review on MTBR
Check it! With Video!
Cru Jones
The Feedback Sports pro bicycle repair stand is amazing
This thing is awesome, way better than the "blue" ones out there. It is very easy to use, very sturdy and the anodized red is gorgeous. It was worth every penny and now I just need some more tools to match it ;)
Stephen Darcy
I use this everyday...
This is one of the stands we have here at the shop. I know it seems crazy that a stand at a bike shop isn't one of those huge heavy monsters that you normally see. Well we have one of those industrial size things but I choose to use our "portable" guy which happens to be this here Feedback Pro Bike Stand. It is just so light and user friendly. The clamp is the best I've ever seen and you can adjust the height from little kid to Andre the Giant.
Sturdy - Functional
Nice bike stand!
It's sturdy for both road and mountain bikes.
Fully rotational bike positioning. Easy adjustments for height, swivel with quick release. Bike/Seatpost clamp easily adjustable with a large knob.
Nice anodized red. I wish I had gotten the Elite model for the storage bag. Would leave it open if I had room.
No packinging. Just came in a shipping box. Mine was damaged where the clamp fold rubbed the quick release. Wore off the paint and indented the underside of the clamp arm.
Packaging for shipping is poor. To much of a hassle to exchange. Product is outstanding. Still lovin' it.
Outstanding Home Mechanic Bike Stand
I've had this stand for 3 weeks, and I'm very impressed. I've been biking for years, but recently became interested in doing my own bike maintenance. The tripod base keeps it very stable while working on my full suspension mountain bike. The construction is excellent, product is very well-designed, and I expect it to last for years.

Get Up Stand Up
I have two. I've had the original for almost 10 years, and the updated version an improvement all around. Replacement parts, which I've needed twice, were easy to get and reasonably priced. I can't say the same for some blue stands out there. My other stands(Park and Pedros) just sit in the corner and wish they were this stand.

Amazing stand!
I have been a bike mechanic for three years and have used many different types of repair stands. Since I live in an apartment, I cannot purchase a bolt-in-the-ground, type 100% secure stand; however, with the ultimate pro stand, I need not even look into any other type of stand. The wide base keeps things from tipping over. To make sure, I just tossed a few 10 lbs bags of beans on two of the legs, and I need not worry about anything moving. The clamp is 100% secure. The stand is compact and light enough to be hauled to any bike race or other cycling/tri event. I purchased mine when it was on sale and then I used a 20% off coupon from backcountry.com. You cannot beat that type of deal anywhere! Oh yes, and there was free UPS shipping as well.

Lackmond TK4CHP - PRODUCTS TKCHP Series 4"x.250x7/8" Tuck Pointing Blade
Tuck pointing blades typically have a .250" width and have a harder bond to allow use in more abrasive materials. The .250" width makes the tuck point ideal for use in cleaning traditional mortar joints. These blades are very popular in the masonry, waterproofing, and restoration trades. Due to the sheer width and diamond volume of the tuck point blades, the price of this design is typically double to quadrouple the price of traditional segmented dry blade. These blades are also useful in scoring or crack chasing applications and should be used in very shallow cutting. Tuck points generally have a longer life-span than other small-diameter segmented blades. The TKCHP series is our most economically priced tuck point, and is the blade of choice when low cost is a priority.

Dreams In The Deep
1. Dreams In The Deep
Somewhere, deep in the darkest, deepest shadows, I stir.
I can feel It moving again.
It is far, far away, granted…
…but still I can feel It.
It sings to me in my slumber- sings the same old sweet siren nothings It has sung to me since It's creation, begs me to wake, whispers that the time of my return is now, that the time of my triumph is at hand, that I must rise from my abyssal sleep and return roaring to the land of the living...
But I do not- I cannot.
It has been too long- my dreams are black and bloody, savage and sweet…
…and I am loathe to leave them.
Dreams of slaughter, they are- dreams of sorrow, dreams of death and destruction…
…yet still, though the screams of a people incinerated echo through my brain, though a kingdom become furnace drowns out everything with it's tumult…
…still I can hear It.
It calls to me through the miles as It has called to me throughout the ages.
It demands my attention; It pleads my presence; It begs for my aid.
It has been too long, though- too long was It's song drowned under rock, imprisoned under water, trapped and tortured and tormented, separated from It's Master by cruel fate and crueller fingers.
Somewhere out there in the dark, It stirs.
It is far, far away, granted…
…but still I feel It.
It sings to me in my slumber- sings low and lovely of vengeance, lustful and long of mangling and murder and mayhem.
It sings, and I listen, and one day soon I shall rise in all my majesty, shall rise in all my malevolence, shall rise in fire and blood and shadow and tear It from It's captors, tear It from their cold, lifeless fingers and rise like the most dreadful star imaginable, rise in horror and might and rage, rise like a burning, blackened, boiling mountain of monstrous, molten anger and return It to where It belongs…
…with It's Master.
On that day none shall stand before me.
On that day the very Heavens themselves shall split asunder, and all of creation shall echo with the sound of my victory.
On that day all the world shall kneel before It, It whispers to me, on that day all the world shall abase themselves before It and It's Master, and they shall cry and beg and weep for mercy, for pity, for salvation…
…but It knows not those words.
It has never known them.
It can never know them.
On that day, all the world- the skies, the seas, even the very stones themselves…
…they shall all weep bloody tears at our magnificence, our vengeance, our victory.
One day, It whispers to me, one day…
…but It is far, far away, and my sleep too, too deep.
I dream of a kingdom destroyed, and I sleep a little deeper, and I dream of a people dying and damned and diminished, and I dream a little longer, and I dream of the World as it was before the coming of the Sun or of the Moon, before the coming of the Trees or even of the Lamps, and It's voice grows a little quieter.
It does not care.
I do not care.
It cannot care.
I cannot care.
It has waited an Age.
I have waited an Age.
It can wait a little longer.

The Four is a TVB costume action series broadcasted in September 2008.The series has been adapted from a popular martial arts novel, The Four Great Constables, written by Wen Ruian. The novel tells the story about the four great constables: Heartless, Iron Fist, Chaser, and Cold Blood.Hardhearted and smart Mo Ching (Raymond Lam) became a crippled when he was young. Fortunately Ching has met Chu Kot Ching Ngo (Dominic Lam Ka Wah), the Head of the Sheriff Bureau, and has learnt from him his unparalleled skills of using concealed weapons. Chu has once helped the Sung Emperor recover an invaluable piece of article that the empire has long lost. To reward Chu, the Emperor reopened the Sheriff Bureau. In addition to Ching, Chu has recruited Zeoi Ming (Sammul Chan), a cunning swindler, Tit Sau (Kenneth Ma), an honest guy and the cold-blooded Lang Huyt(Ron Ng), and called them The FourThe Sheriff Bureau has cracked many difficult cases under the leadership of Chu. After having gone through thick and thin with the others, Ching has become a lot less arrogant. He has fallen in love with Song Chi Yin (Kate Tsui), a herb doctor, but she is only using him to sow dissension amongst The Four, furthermore deepens the hatred between him and Sau. The King of Qi Chiu Cheong (Savio Tsang Wai Kuen) and the treacherous minister Choi King(Lau Kong) are plotting to revolt against the Sung Dynasty. Chu risks his life to ruin their plan but by doing this, he is also driving the bond between him and The Four to the verge of disintegration.

not your average bbq
Most of us associate summertime with lazy weekends, laid-back outdoor get-togethers and wearing flip-flops 24-7 – or at least during waking hours. Summer is also synonymous with our favorite past time — the BBQ. This year we challenge you to take it up a notch.
This 4th of July, don't just grill, make it an extraordinary event to remember. Choose a theme and party on in serious style.
Old School Clam Bake
Not in the mood for hot dogs and beer? Add a pinch of panache to your 4th by shelving the grill and hosting a clam bake. And don't worry; you don't have to dig the clams.

Thread: Reboot the Biosphere Project?
August 29th, 2012, 12:01 PM #1
Reboot the Biosphere Project?
A recent article in IO9.com advises that the Biosphere projects should be revived.
I agree: We have no hope to establish sustainable bases in space or on other planets unless we understand how to create a sustainable biosphere... and so far, we do not. The Biosphere experiments here and in the Soviet Union have demonstrated that we don't have the environmental, agricultural or biodiversity specs down. Further, the hardships of living in a struggling or failing biosphere space creates dysfunctional co-workers. We need to figure out the psychological and sociological needs and parameters of the crew in such a system.
Or maybe, the idea of creating an Earth-like biosphere in a place other than Earth is sheer lunacy, and we need to start thinking of systems that are totally unlike "transplanted Earth" but still sustainable.
This is an area that could use some fresh investigations and approaches in SF lit (see the "What's missing in SF" thread); I may even write one myself. Any thoughts from the gallery?
August 29th, 2012, 12:56 PM #2
Thats interesting. I'd fogotten about the Biosphere project. Perhaps it was too grandious to work right and we should start from the bottom up.
I remember seeing a glass sphere that had water, 1 plant and some kind of minor animal in it (sorry this is vague). It was claimed that as long as the sphere got normal light it would continue in equilibrium. It was sold as a novelty. [can anyone help my fading memory here as to what these are called].
Assuming I am remembering correctly perhaps we start with something like that, make it a bit bigger and add a new couple of things to it and see if it can be sustainable. Keep at this looking for where things break down. It is a lot easier debugging a small system than a large complex one and you learn things in a incremental fashion.
August 29th, 2012, 02:53 PM #3
I agree that working small and scaling up as you go would be a good way to continue the experiment... possibly even multiple parallel experiments, each investigating a different biological system/aspect, to be combined later to see how they work together. And it could be that some isolation of bio-projects is essential to their success in an artificially-closed system.
August 30th, 2012, 09:37 AM #4
Have you ever read The Biological Time Bomb?
That book covers everything from biological warfare to sending robots in space to introduce new chemistry to planets to make them more suitable for human life.
If such a biosphere was to be built for space, it would also need artificial gravity and shielding from radiation.
August 30th, 2012, 11:43 AM #5
In the case of radiation, I think investigation is not necessary, we just need to develop physical or energy-based shielding methods that will work from large structures down to space suits (or else make all EVA activity the domain of robots... not a horrible idea, but clearly less romantic than heroic astronauts on EVAs).
August 30th, 2012, 12:13 PM #6
I am working with biospheres in my series. I watched Aeon Fluxx the live action movie and The Starlost as references and I read The Biological Time Bomb years ago.
Biospheres became mandatory after World War III on Earth that was a nuclear war that ended all human life. Three military cyborgs survived the human race. They left Earth to go to an Earth-like planet in another solar system where one of the cyborgs was built. From there, they send back spaceships to Earth with cyborgs who built biospheres and cloned humans to live inside the biospheres to give the human race a second chance with one major change; the cyborgs took over world security to prevent the humans from repeating the history that ended them the first time.
So, biospheres is something I am researching myself.

Another movie to use the biosphere idea is Silent Running.

you know, this probably would have been a great project for NASA to pursue planetside right now, since we seem to be earth-bound for a while (not taking into account 3rd party/national hitchhiking, of course)...
August 31st, 2012, 01:48 PM #10
I was reading an article NASA published on Google Plus that SpaceX signed a $440 Million contract with them to make the spaceship that will replace the Shuttle. The articles did not specify if SpaceX picked up the Orion project.

August 31st, 2012, 04:46 PM #12
If you are interested in more advanced technologies for biospheres, there's force fields like done in The Outer Limits in the 1990s and my own ideas such as interdimensional biospheres created to exist within different wave frequencies than our physical world.
September 1st, 2012, 09:48 AM #13
Containers aren't really the problem with biospheres. The problem is successfully coordinating the biological processes and ecological balance of everything from independent animals (like men) to bacteria, and everything in-between. The more I think about it (and the lack of success we've had doing that on a planetary scale), the more I doubt our ability to maintain such a complex ecosystem.
The Biosphere projects should be dedicated to figuring out a limited-scale ecology that still sustains all biological organisms in an efficient way. It may be necessary to genetically engineer plants and animals specifically designed to function in such a limited ecosystem only, for the express purpose of providing a livable environment, and not to be "released into the wild." Their end form may be nothing like the plants and animals that exist today.
September 1st, 2012, 10:01 AM #14
The ideal system would be self .monitoring and self correcting.
Earth does not have that in place and human intervention is helping to destroy it.
Right now biosphere technology is like artificial consciousness, we just don't understand it yet. In time we will.
September 2nd, 2012, 04:39 PM #15
A Biosphere, despite its appearances, would be as artificial an environment as the inside of a space ship; just more invisibly elaborate, as complex natural elements would take place of simpler technological elements. You don't want a perfectly natural system, because it will evolve, as the Biosphere projects proved.
You want a stable and static environment... the antithesis of "natural." And you want an environment that can be adjusted to handle changes in demand... say, the loss, gain or significant change of crewmembers, the introduction (or evolution) of an invasive species, or a crop failure. Expecting a Biosphere to self-correct a system that extreme (and if you think about it, it's not that extreme) is expecting unnatural behavior in a supposedly natural system.

SPIN.com just posted an article on Gym Class Heroes' upcoming album, The Papercut Chronciles II - due out in September on Decaydance / Fueled By Ramen.
"We didn't want to worry about the formula that has been implanted into our brains -- this verse/pre-chorus/chorus format. When we were writing The Papercut Chronicles, we had no idea about any of that. We didn't know how to count bars or how to write what's considered a well-formatted pop song. I just rapped or sang until I felt like I got my point across. And there's something really special about that." - Travie McCoy

United States government
regulations require Salisbury University to verify the
availability of adequate funding for all individuals who plan to
apply for an F-1 student visa. This funding must cover tuition
and living expenses for the duration of studies. When it is
determined that a student is academically eligible for admission
and financially capable of supporting his/her education,
Salisbury University issues to the student an I-20 form
(Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status).
The student may use this form, along with other required
documentation, to apply for an F-1 student visa at a United

International students may work
on campus provided they are maintaining F-1 status, do not work
more than a total of 20 hours per week while school is in
session and do not displace a U. S. resident. International
students may be employed full time during holidays and vacation
periods, including summer vacations, provided they are eligible
and intend to register for the next school term. The
20-hour-per-week limit on employment while school is in session
applies to all types of on-campus employment, including graduate
assistantship. A 20-hour per-week graduate assistantship, for
example, would exhaust eligibility for academic year on-campus
work. To view current on campus job opportunities, please visit:

Rated 4 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by hotat40 GREAT FIT!!! these shorts are very flattering and don't ride up when working out! I got the black/Hawaii but I would love them in every color! May 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by Furby The color is not actually "pink" The color of these shorts is actually an orange/pinkish color. The color didn't appear the same as the picture online. They had a nice fit. An actual "pink" color would be a better choice for these shorts. March 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lacey101 Good quality shorts These shorts are so cute! They arent too short but when I run in them they do tend to slide up and go right under my butt. I love how smooth and soft they are, they fit perfectly. I have rather big hips for my weight/size, so I got a medium and it fits very well. I'm a size 28 or whatever in pants size if that helps. I would recommend these shorts to anyone :) March 9, 2013

Belichick not impressed by blowout win over Texans
Wednesday, January 9, 2013
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — To hear Bill Belichick glumly address reporters on Monday, you'd think the Houston Texans blew New England out in the regular season -- and not the other way around.
Houston lost three of its last four regular-season games to cede the No. 2 seed and the playoff bye to the Patriots. But the Texans beat the Cincinnati Bengals 19-13 in the opening round of the playoffs to earn a rematch in New England.
"I'm sure Coach will talk about that this week," he said. "I think that's a great example. The reason we lost that game wasn't because we beat them, whatever, four weeks before. It was because we (stunk) in the game."

Chapter summary things (in some published fiction)
I've noticed a very modern trend that's just taking off (that's what it seems like): that is, to put little summaries of what happens in each chapter, under the chapter heading. I just don't know what that's called. I'm not sure what to Google, though I tried "Scaffolding" which gave me something that seemed waaaaaaay too complicated to go in the 'summary goes here' space in published fiction.
I think my Uni lecturers mentioned it, and that it was actually an old-fashioned thing that some authors used to do but don't any more (with these exceptions). So maybe it's not new, just coming back into style.
For examples of what I mean, see The Book Thief by Markus Zusack or The Tales of the Ketty Jay by Chris Wooding (very awesome, fun Dieselpunk adventure series), or to a lesser extent The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (much briefer). It's where the book says 'In which x does y and z is discovered' etc.

Epigraph is what your a looking for I think.
September 26th, 2012, 01:14 PM #3
Dickens used them a great deal, something which Terry Pratchett lampooned in one of his Discworld books (might be 'Going Postal', can't look right now). They are effectively mini-teasers, a marketing tool back in the day when novels were sold chapter by chapter.
When I see them in modern books, it signals either 'Dickensian spoof' or 'pretentious author'...
September 26th, 2012, 06:34 PM #4
Personally, I wouldn't call Neal Stephenson a pretentious author, and I'd hardly call The Diamond Age a Dickensian spoof. (There is a parallel between that book and Dickens' work, but I won't reveal what it is here, so not to spoil the book.)
It's like any other tool of writing. Used well, it can create suspense, by making readers question how said events come about. Used poorly, it can reveal details too soon, spoiling the book.
September 27th, 2012, 12:27 PM #5
LOL, it's called a preamble. In this particular case, for fiction, it is also sometimes called "Dear Reader" writing. ("In which, Dear Reader, our hero finds himself lost and his friend is chased by a bear...") It's a structural technique and it's not a hot trend. It does sometimes show up in novels. For steampunk, it's a good fit for some sorts of stories. It's used sometimes in children's stories, like The Graveyard Book. But The Book Thief, which is not SFFH, was published in 2007, Graveyard in 2008, Retribution Falls in 2009 (and Diamond Age in 1995.) So I don't think there's a big rush to it.
It is a fun technique, especially for comic works or fairy tale works. It can be done with mystery works, though it's a bit trickier.

Actually, I like these. Wouldn't mind seeing more. Maybe I'll do it for my book(s).
Why do you think it is pretentious, Zach? It doesn't come across that way to me. I suppose, as CM said, it can be done poorly - like anything else.

Whenever I see one of those, I think of Winnie The Pooh! (Chapter three: in which Piglit hunts a Woozle)
September 27th, 2012, 05:14 PM #8
But the need for preambles - a blurb for the chapter - has passed, in the same way as other linguistic motifs (like, for instance, the quaint habit of referring to people and places as 'Miss N_____' and 'the town of _____'). Using such devices in a modern setting is an affectation. It's not something the author has come up with off their own back, either. It's a new Toyota with 50's tailfins.
That's just my opinion. But then I'm the kind of writer who would sign up for the literary equivalent of Lars Von Trier's Dogme manifesto, if it existed.

"I'm sorry sweetie, but I just don't get it." Other than her signature stink face, that was the harshest critique $15 million judge Britney Spears doled out on The X Factor this season. Her doting praise for her own contestants mainly consisted of three-syllable adjectives like "beautiful," "tremendous," and, of course, "amazing." So — after the highly buzzed outsters of Spears' predecessors Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger last year, is it all that surprising that Spears' Christmas gift may have been a cruel swing of the axe?
At least, that's what US Weekly reported this morning, after a source close to Simon Cowell told them that the proven to be harsh producer wanted her out. Fox declined Hollywood.com's request for comment, but we wouldn't be too surprised if the new year brought yet another high profile search for a buzzworthy judge. (Because that's what singing shows are all about now, right?) Of course, finding a replacement for Spears wouldn't be the show's only concern — judge L.A. Reid recently announced that he was leaving to focus on his own recording artists.
So, will a new name game begin? If so, that would leave The X Factor exactly where it found itself last year: In the news, struggling to find its feet, behind Idol and The Voice in ratings, and on the hunt for two big-name judges. And that, Britney says, is not particularly amazing.
UPDATE: On Thursday evening, an X Factor spokesperson gave the following statement: "No one has discussed next years judging panel yet — any reports otherwise are complete speculation."
