Talk:Space warfare in fiction
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
|This page was nominated for deletion on 2007 January 30. The result of the discussion was keep.
Merge with older versions[edit]
I made a copy of the older versions of this page (found here) that, although not completely sourced as of yet, contains information on Space Warfare in fiction not (yet) covered here. Any help with the merge would be welcome. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 06:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Referance fixes[edit]
Some of the referances go to Wikipedia, which is against policy. They need to be fixed. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 08:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes, according to Wikipedia policy "Articles and posts on Wikipedia, or other websites that mirror Wikipedia content, may not be used as sources."
I'll remove them. Debresser (talk) 00:08, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- The references you removed were not to Wikipedia articles, but to primary source material. For instance, the reference ""The Living Legend, Part 2". Battlestar Galactica 1978. Text "The Living Legend, Part 2" ignored (help)" is a reference to an episode entitled The Living Legen Part 2 which was part of the Battlestar Galactica TV series broadcast in 1978. It does also link to a wikipedia article, to give more information about the source, but this is not part of the reference. I have restored this and several other similar references, along with a {{fact}} tag that was removed without explanation. JulesH (talk) 23:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Reworking the TV & Movies section[edit]
I think this should be structured more as a history of developments, rather than subsections for each show. So, we'd need to answer questions like:
- What was the first depiction of a space battle in a film? On television?
- What were particularly influential depictions at various times?
- How has the development of special effects influenced what we've seen?
I'm not sure the flat, uninteresting descriptions of the various weapons that are employed that we have here is useful. JulesH 23:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Uninteresting is, of course, your opinion (which I don't share). Q1 would also more then likely be highly unverifiable. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 23:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- JulesH's suggestions would be a big step towards making that section appropriate for inclusion in an encyclopdeia. Pete.Hurd 03:47, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Reverted changes[edit]
Could somebody please explain to me:
- The relevance of star trek's handheld phasers to space warfare? I've never seen them used in the show for anything except hand-to-hand combat.
- Why the Enterprise's ability to stun targets on the surface of a planet is relevant. This is the only sentence that seems relevant to individual targets on a planet's surface, and it doesn't seem to fit to me.
- The relevance of the colour of photon torpedoes to anything.
- Why a link to the article about Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series) shouldn't be included in the main body text.
- Why a fair-use image that provides no useful information to the article and has no fair-use rationale provided for use on this page shouldn't be removed.
Or should I just put my changes back in? JulesH 13:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- To answer the last question, I believe that the photograph of the Death Star is very relivant to the section on the destruction of plants. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 01:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps so, although it still needs a fair use rationale before it can be used in the page, according to policy. And while it's relevant, I'm still not convinced it meets the requirement at Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy in section 8 of contributing significantly.
- OTOH, I was talking about the battlestar galactica image. This also lacks a fair-use rationale, and it's much less clear what it contributes. It's a picture of some guns. What does the reader learn by looking at it? JulesH 09:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I forgot about that part of Fair Use! As for the Battlestar Galactica picture, I'm sure a better one could be found and uploaded, but as of right now it is the best one I could find (although I must admit, I'm fairly certain that I didn't originally find it. I merely put it back). S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 02:47, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Merge from space combat[edit]
I don't think this merge should happen, for a variety of reasons:
- Space combat is about games, which are different to fiction (although related to it)
- All the content there is unsourced, and potentially OR.
- Category:Space trading and combat simulation games should have a main article, and currently doesn't. If Space combat were tidied up, sourced and renamed to a better name, it would be an appropriate article for this task.
Any other comments? JulesH 12:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Videogame section[edit]
Space war is a major theme to videogame plots, especially in star wars. I presume make a videogame section on spacewar eg masseffect 3, halo etc. It helps differentiate between the mess the americans made of differing scifi fantasy from sci-fi genres. Alot of directors in america seem to start series off with traditional sci-fi and close it with sci-fi fantasy. This is the case with videogames as well. You can see the remarkable transitions americans make in Star wars to Halo to even Star trek. The character is in the centre role in sci-fi fantasy of which he is an underdog in scifi. However science fiction usually starts its theme with the underdog which sequels seem to slowly transition into as a major role. Starwars was different, the prequels were all sci-fi fantasy but the traditional 2 were pure science fiction. Some may contend rotj was sci-fi fantasy, however it was not, due to the canadian film industry having strong fantasy elements in sci-fi and sci-fi fantasy, empire strikes back was closer to this role (of which was not directed by lucas). I consider return of the jedi more scifi than sci-fi fantasy though not because of the strong magic theme, and love story around the centre character, but because the character never deviated from his role as an underdog..and the movie was just bad. I conjure that russian sci-fi has strong magical elements with a weak theme, it is very much on the borderline as empire strikes back was. Sci-fi fantasy in videogames is no different then the film industry at times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asfd666 (talk • contribs) 00:18, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- Good point, It's not that we americans hav a 'go get em' type of att, its that we have a 'its our turn' type of attitude, because of history and culture all coming into one place from around the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asfd666 (talk • contribs) 01:31, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Halo science fantasy themes: It seems like sci-fi, the first one actually is...but if you delve deeper into the halo universe it turns into starship troopers, its believable to a certain extant, halo 1-scifi, halo 2-scifi fantasy, halo 3-scifi adventure, halo 4 scifi fantasy because the themes are aliens whom mastered to created planets via halo rings. Halo for instance is about an evil galactic empire who has a primitive religion? An alien race that spans the galaxy and removes all hostile races with the most superior advanced technology, destroyed their homeworld, has a caste system akin to a aristocracy or a patriarch, is somehow praying to a primitive god? During mohamet's time, gods were a set of rules to control populations during great migrations (see the quran). No organism can create a planet or become god-like unless its a case of forgery. Major themes like the human ship just navigating to the alien homeworld is very unusual indeed. Other themes include the fact that the alien race can become god-like and create multiple planets, or make a type of human ai with emotions and feelings...the flood themselves are zombies am i right? Def sci-fi fantasy. Alot of american movies tend to do this, they go their seperate ways in other genres. A prime example is the alien/predator series which is like sci-fi horror or sci-fi adventure. Avatar to is more like sci-fi fantasy then sci-fi adventure because life on other moons is not theoretically possible. Not really science fiction. this is like star trek next generation, instead of star trek..star trek did the same thing, star wars even, went into scifi adventure then scifi fantasy (see prequels). Predator and aliens is a case of flipping inbetween the scifi horror and scifi adventure themes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asfd666 (talk • contribs) 09:39, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Joss Whedon's Firefly features no sound in space battles (as it would be, with no medium to carry the sound). Is this the first show to do so, and, if not, what is and should it be included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 08:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- I believe Babylon 5 preceded it. There may be others. JulesH (talk) 23:48, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- Didn't the original Battlestar also feature soundless space?'''Aryeonos''' (talk) 09:39, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
Proposal to Merge with Space battle[edit]
As many of the topics covered, if not the actual content itself, are similar or the same, I propose a merge into this article in order to keep the redundancy to a minimum. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 14:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- Support - the two are identical, or at least very similar. Space warfare in fiction is the better title. Cyclopaedic (talk) 15:56, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Blackmore and Tech[edit]
What's the point of the Blackmore quote, it doesn't seem to do anything or offer any insight or explanations. Its nothing more than a witty comment that lends little more to the article, so why is it here?'''Aryeonos''' (talk) 09:42, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
- Deleted. It wasn't even coherent, as far as I could see. Dementia13 (talk) 16:02, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Future war? Say what?[edit]
What does Future War even mean? There is no definition and the examples given seem to indicate the editors are talking about any fictional war that involves advanced technology in some form or another, which is the entire genre of SciFi. I assumed, from the article's title, Space warfare, that this would be about warfare occurring in space. Instead, it seems to be used as an umbrella phrase to talk about any random SciFi war that the editors assigned meaning to, all the while stating the obvious as if this were some sort of profound observation:
- "Some [who?] conclude that the human race will never be involved in actual space warfare because of the distances involved and logistical impracticalities."
We could say the same thing about any and all aspects of SciFi, because, by definition, ALL Science Fiction is beyond our current abilities ... if we had master it then it wouldn't be Science Fiction any more, it would just be Fiction.
- "The energy required to destroy a planet or star is without a doubt well beyond our current scientific means"
Oh really? So far not a single Wikipedia editor has read that sentence sober and found nothing problematic with it?
- It has been calculated [20][21] that overcoming the gravity holding together an Earth-sized planet takes on the order of 1032 joules of energy, or roughly the total output of the sun in a week. More detailed estimates place the violent destruction of Alderaan (appearing in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope) as requiring 1.0 × 1038[22] joules of energy, or on the order of millions of times more than necessary to permanently break the planet apart at a slower rate. This is the equivalent of a mass between 1.1 × 1018 to 1.3 × 1019 tonnes of resting matter converted directly into energy (by Albert Einstein's formula, E = mc²) with no losses. For reference, the mass of the moon is estimated to be 7.36 × 1022 kilograms (or roughly 7.36 × 1019 tonnes, only somewhat greater than the upper estimate of the mass needed to achieve the estimated energy).
What does this even mean? Why is this paragraph important to the article? The same goes for the last paragraph on Naval Warfare.
Personally, I would vote to delete this article. Failing that, I would suggest removing the entire Technology/Destruction of Planets and Stars/ Navy sections, since they are Original Research and uncited. I would keep the title of the article and focus entirely on warfare in space, or I would change the article's title to Future War, provide a working definition (whatever it means, I still have no idea other than wars in the future) and focus entirely on that instead. I would suggest not trying to do both. Again, I do not find any value in this article but I know it's policy to keep anything that might be fixable, so I offer these observations only as suggestions. Cheers! Chalchiuhtlatonal (talk) 12:59, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- The article is not perfect, but your assumptions do not constitute a rationale for deletion. From the context, it appears that "future war" is a historical literary concept that was a precursor to modern science fiction. This should be spelled out more clearly. (Edit: I hadn't noticed, but this is stated explicitly in the lead paragraph. It should still be explained in more detail in the article body, because the article as stands assumes that the reader knows what that is. I'm relatively knowledgeable on the subject, and had never seen the term). However, if you think that all of science fiction boils down to "any fictional war that involves advanced technology in some form or another", you would do well to learn why the genre is called "science" fiction and not "space fantasy" fiction. Also, the sections you claim are OR and uncited actually contain many citations, and they appear to already have been present when you posted this. If you have suggestions for improvement, make them. If you just want to gripe, find a web forum somewhere and flame away. Dementia13 (talk) 02:18, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Speaking of Economics
How to Get in the Conversation
Arjo Klamer
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Making sense of economists and their world in a persuasive and entertaining style, Arjo Klamer, the author of a number of influential books including Conversation with Economists and The Consequences of Economic Rhetoric, shows that economics is as much about how people interact as it is about the models, the mathematics, the econometrics, the theories and the ideas that come from the enormous aggregate of economics literature. Knowing and understanding economics requires both bookwork and mingling with other economists.
Viewing the subject as a collection of conversations, Klamer examines fundamental disagreements over the nature and purpose of the discipline, addressing how it is that a discipline that so permeates daily life is at once 'soft' and scientific, powerful and ignored, noble and disdained and in a reader-friendly style – without eschewing academic methodology demonstrates economics to be a living, breathing discipline rooted in the real world.
Whether you are a student, academician, journalist, practising economist or interested outsider, Speaking of Economics will get you interested in a conversation about economics.

On Fogo Island, where Canadian territory meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Shorefast Foundation has enlisted contemporary art and architecture as instruments in the revitalisation of the local economy. The latest chapter in this ongoing effort is the inauguration of Fogo Island Inn, designed by Todd Saunders.
Back Western Shore, DOMUS 968, Fogo Island, Fogo Island Inn, hospitality, hotel, Shorefast Foundation, Todd Saunders, Zita Cobb
This article was originally published in Domus 968 / April 2013
Before there were roads in Newfoundland there was the ocean, and houses were built facing its dark waters and thunderous waves. People came and went by boat; the sea could provide even small outports with an economic livelihood and a connection to the rest of the world. Todd Saunders's Fogo Island Inn acknowledges this tradition; each bed in its 29 guestrooms looks out towards the Atlantic Ocean. "You can't have people travel thousands of kilometres just to make them turn around and look backwards," Saunders explains. Beholding the ocean's vast expanse from the comfort of their beds, the inn's visitors witness first-hand the confrontation between the niceties of human culture and the inhospitable beauty of northern landscapes that lies at the heart of Saunders's architecture.
A Canadian architect who founded his office in Bergen, Norway, in 1998, Saunders has been acclaimed for his projects that display strong yet simple forms as well as a sensitive use of materials. He is best known for the award-winning Aurland Lookout (see Domus no. 890). Elegantly clad in pinewood, the lookout's viewing platform is projected far out above a steep fjord. Only a glass balustrade prevents the visitor from following its curving form as it plunges to anchor itself in the ground far below. Although it is a far more complex endeavour, the Fogo Island Inn shares the lookout's capacity to function as an elegant yet precarious register of human presence in a wild landscape.
The client for the Fogo Island Inn is Zita Cobb's Shorefast Foundation, an organisation that seeks to establish cultural production and geotourism as an economic motor for Fogo, Cobb's native island, which was devastated by the closure of Newfoundland's cod fishery in the 1992. Cobb returned to the island having made her fortune in the tech industry, and began looking for ways to set the island's dwindling population on a more sustainable course. As part of this effort, Cobb commissioned Saunders's earlier Fogo Island Studios (see Domus no. 938 and no. 950). The inn is meant to serve as a point of interaction where visitors from afar can participate in Shorefast's local initiatives while contributing to Fogo's economic revival.
Cobb, together with Saunders and a local fisherman, Peter Decker, chose the site for the inn on Fogo's "Back Western Shore", near the village of Joe Batt's Arm, but not quite in it. The inn is placed as close to the shore as possible while respecting local regulations that require it to be at least 100 metres from the high-tide mark. From this vantage point it surveys the fishing grounds of the Labrador Current, whose rich waters first attracted European settlers to Fogo Island.
Four stories tall, the inn's X-shaped plan is formed by the superposition of two elongated bars. On each floor, guestrooms are arranged along a single-loaded corridor so that each may face north, towards the ocean. The ground floor contains an art gallery showcasing the work of the visiting artists residing in the Fogo Island Studios and a restaurant serving locally sourced dishes. The second floor includes conference facilities, a gym and a cinema with a direct link to the archives of Canada's National Film Board. A sauna designed by Rintala Eggertsson Architects occupies the roof above the third floor. Mechanical services are placed in a separate outbuilding.
Buildings in coastal Newfoundland traditionally sit upon wooden piles, which are either left exposed or else hidden behind the clapboard facades of "saltbox" houses. The province's rocky ground and its turbulent coastal waters are so unyielding that buildings cannot sit upon the land; they must be tethered in this fashion, lest they be swept away. In Newfoundland, such an acceptance of precariousness is a prerequisite for permanence.
The Fogo Island Inn follows this same tradition. It bears upon steel columns that have been drilled into the bedrock. At the inn's eastern end, the tall columns supporting the upper bar are angled, providing a visual reminder of the challenge of building in these conditions. In the building's centre, the facade has been extended directly to the ground, its wooden boards cut precisely to within ten centimetres of the land.
Saunders first deployed such a detailed and conscientious connection between building and nature at his Hardanger Retreat in Kjepsø, Norway, where the terrace is painstakingly designed so as to integrate the existing trees. At the Fogo Island Inn, this barely perceptible joint between building and ground reveals the care the architects and builders have taken in positioning the inn upon its site.
As the building is approached, its appearance changes subtly, as strong form gives way to a tactile, material effect. From afar, the long, white bars are an abstract and self-contained form: a crisp, if somewhat unreal presence amid Fogo's changing atmospheric conditions. As the visitor comes closer, the ghostly white shape becomes comprehensible as an aggregation of black spruce siding, milled on nearby Cottle's Island. Relying upon the region's skilled carpenters, Saunders and his team designed the facades using an inventive pattern of horizontal shiplap and vertical tongue-and-groove boards. This use of local building methods continues with the inn's interior, which seeks to provide the warmth and hospitality of a Newfoundland living room for its jet-set visitors. Ineke Hans, Donna Wilson and other international artists have reworked traditional furnishings such as rocking chairs and knitted textiles, which are now being produced by local craftsmen. Together with Saunders's architecture, they have produced beautiful objects that carry a heavy burden, navigating between the traditional rhythms of outport life and the hyper-connectedness of global tourism.
Seen from certain angles and in certain weather, the inn appears to be a lumbering ship, only temporarily at rest while waiting out a storm. Above all, it is a work of strong architecture, carefully attuned to its mission yet autonomous in its presence in this strange and wondrous place. It is an act of human culture that helps us to try and situate our own existence within a sublime landscape that defies comprehension.

German shepherd dog
Took Lily to dog school last week. She completed a six hundred foot track over blacktop, ice plant, concrete, and dirt at Fort Ord. She tracked the bad guy to a building where I sent her on a building search. She cleared the first floor and found him on the second. All this in about four minutes. GSD's noses are amazing.

International Viola Congress 2017
44th International Viola Congress
September 1-5, 2017 Wellington, New Zealand
Hosted by the Australian and New Zealand Viola Society

Eric D. Green, a Boston University law professor and a specialist in the field of resolving disputes out of court, has been named as the mediator in the Microsoft antitrust case.
The order from Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly was issued late Friday night and received by the parties in the case yesterday morning. Her order came after Microsoft, the Justice Department and the 18 states that have joined the suit failed to reach a settlement on their own by the Oct. 12 deadline set by Judge Kollar-Kotelly.
Mr. Green is a recognized expert in a branch of the law known as alternative dispute resolution, or finding ways to settle legal conflicts outside the courtroom. He is the founder of two Boston alternative dispute resolution firms, JAMS/Endispute Inc. and Resolutions L.L.C., and has served as a court-appointed special master in asbestos injury cases.
''He is a prominent figure in alternative dispute resolution, he's a very smart guy and his skills are as a mediator rather than in antitrust,'' said Stephen D. Houck, a former lead counsel for the State of New York in the Microsoft case who was a classmate of Mr. Green's at Harvard Law School.
At this stage in the long-running Microsoft case, Mr. Houck said, having an expert in the process of mediation would probably be more valuable than having an antitrust expert. By now, he said, all sides in the case have gone over the points of antitrust law again and again, and they fully understand where they disagree.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Green faces a huge challenge. Three previous rounds of settlement talks have broken off without agreement. The most ambitious effort was a four-month negotiation mediated by Richard A. Posner, a federal appeals court judge and a leading antitrust authority, that collapsed in April 2000.
In her order, Judge Kollar-Kotelly urged Microsoft and the government to ''remain steadfast in their efforts to reach a mutually agreeable resolution.'' And she praised the sides for jointly proposing Mr. Green as a mediator.
Mr. Green could not be reached for comment yesterday.
With Mr. Green as a mediator, Microsoft, the Justice Department and the states have until Nov. 2 to reach an out-of-court settlement. If they do not, Judge Kollar-Kotelly will preside over hearings to determine what remedies to order in the case, starting next spring. A federal appeals court in June ruled that Microsoft was a monopolist that had repeatedly violated the nation's antitrust laws, although it did reverse part of a lower court decision against Microsoft.
The appeals court also strongly suggested that Microsoft's violations did not justify a breakup of the big software company, which the lower court had ordered but stayed pending appeals. In early September, the Justice Department said that it would not seek to split the company in two, but that it would seek basic changes in Microsoft's business practices.
In the settlement talks so far, Microsoft has resisted such steps as freely sharing technical information with other software companies and any sanctions that would force it to alter the design of its Windows operating system, the industry standard and Microsoft's monopoly product.Continue reading the main story

Kids in need are often portrayed as victims – helpless and hopeless in the face of dire circumstances.
Our digital and social campaign encouraged potential donors to make Kids Help Phone their charity of choice by drawing attention to the courage it takes for a kid to call. We then called on viewers to help ensure that call is answered.
What changed? Online engagement with the campaign exceeded expectations with a 2.40% conversation rate on video views (exceeding the industry average of 0.5-1%) helping build a new base of monthly donors.


text: Woo-hoo! ↑Equilibrium has reached it's 100th post! I don't really have much planned for it, but I thought I'd just mention it. Basically, my entire weekend has been spent in training for Vector Marketing. I learned in agonizing detail, 6 hours a day, each day, on homecoming weekend… exactly how to sell knives. I mean they're knives. You'd think they'd sell themselves, right. Anyway, after day one of training I was already sick of it. We have to roleplay with partners over and over and over for hours. I then found out that you don't get paid for training, and we then have ADVANCED TRAINING 3 days in a row starting Tuesday. Friday night I went over to Bryan's house because Alex was staying over for the weekend to visit the campus/dorms. He had fun. We watched Austin Powers II and talked for a while. Saturday…more training basically…Today I finally finished my training and set up some appointments!! Woo! My very first customer was Kathy and my dog Sierra was staying at her house. So, I got to see Sierra when I went to give her a demo! She loved the knives and she ordered a pizza. It was pretty cool. No sale, but lots of fun. After that, I went to Monica's house to give her mom a demo. They both had a lot of fun with the knives. No sale, though. All together, I made 24 dollars. Pretty good day! Can't wait to get some more appointments and sell some. Oh, and Waldenbooks called. I think they want to hire me since I've already done an interview there. I'll call them Monday and hopefully get a job there too. With Vector I can set my own hours… So I can have a steady job and then sneak in knife selling on the side to get lots of money. Kathy offered to make my business cards. That would be pretty cool.

Typical daytime summer temps range from 65 to 80 degrees.There are also other fabulous courses in the area: Golf Courses
We love to hike and have hiked most of the trails around Breckenridge, Frisco, and Vail. We keep several books on hikes at the house that have trail maps and driving details.

The Fourth of July in Breckenridge is amazing.The Main Street Parade usually starts with the Red, White & Blue Color Guard and ends with the reading of the Declaration of Independence by George Washington in the Blue River Plaza. Lots of activities for the kids following the parade . There is usually a Fourth of July Patriotic Concert with the National Repository Orchestra at the Riverwalk Center and at dusk, a huge fireworks display will be held which can be seen from many vantage points around town.
August in Breckenridge
August brings new varieties of wildflowers to the area. Look for wild raspberries and strawberries on your hikes.
The USA Pro Cycling Challenge takes place in August, and usually one of the stages will bring the cyclists into Breckenridge. This is a huge event (think of it as the American version of the Tour de France) and all of Breckenridge turns out to watch the riders come into town down Main Street. Lots of activities afterwards for kids and adults following the event.
Of course the biggest reason that people come to Breckenridge in the winter is to ski! Peak 6 just opened the winter of 2013 and is getting rave reviews. If you're going to be renting your skis, you might want to avoid the lines and call Black Tie Ski Rentals. (http://www.blacktieskis.com) They will come to your home and fit you with skis and boots, service the skis on the slopes if you have problems, and then come pick up the equipment after you're done skiing.
Another option is to reserve ski equipment in advance from Christy Sports at the top of Peak 8 or Peak 9. They will store your skis and boots overnight and you don't have to worry about carrying them.
Christy Sports has been a presence in Breckenridge for years and gives excellent service.

If you have a multi-resort ski pass, you can opt to ski for a day at Keystone or Copper and stay to go tubing. It's one of the favorites of winter activities! Grab a tube, ride a lift to the top of the multi-lane tubing hill and then let your tube whisk you down the hill and do it again – all of the fun of sledding but none of the work. This will keep kids and adults entertained for hours. Most hills have several lanes, allowing for multiple sledders to race down the hill simultaneously and more safely than an open field. You cannot bring your own tube to these established tubing hills, as only certain models can be safely attached to the hitch on the lift. Always call ahead, as the tubing hills have set hours of operation, and tubing is weather dependent. Also check for policies on children tubing: height and age restrictions, and parents usually must accompany young children.

Testimony of Kesh Ladduwahetty, Chair, DC for Democracy before the Committee of the Whole, Council of the District of Columbia regarding B21-826 (Constitution for the State of New Columbia Approval Amendment Act of 2016 on September 27, 2016.
My name is Kesh Ladduwahetty, and I am testifying on behalf of DC for Democracy, which has been working to advance democracy and good governance in the District of Columbia since 2005. We have also been an active member of the DC Statehood Coalition since 2009. Our members are committed to achieving statehood and making our new state a model of democracy in the Union.
We are heartened by the new momentum in the statehood movement and excited at the prospect of our leading elected officials petitioning Congress for statehood next year. We need the DC Council to be deeply invested in the statehood movement and to lend your considerable resources to this effort. At the same time, we are here to join with many others to urge the Council to set the statehood initiative on a solid democratic foundation, while preserving the essence of the Mayor's proposal.
It is no accident that many of us who are most concerned about the lack of adherence to basic democratic principles in the drafting of this constitution are those who have devoted so much of our time and energies to statehood. We have worked so hard for statehood because we are so committed to democracy. We cannot conceive of one without the other.
We appreciate that given the constraints of the current process, the Council must act quickly to draft a constitution well before the November referendum. The voters surely need to know what they are approving. But there is no reason that the constitution cannot be further improved after the November referendum.
The constitution that is before you now has been in the process of being drafted since April. While this constitution is being written, lobbying for the New Columbia Admission Act has continued. A few weeks ago, Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii signed on as a co-sponsor. Several House members have co-sponsored since April. Clearly, statehood is advancing in Congress while this constitution is being drafted.
Similarly, the DC Government can petition Congress for statehood starting next January while we further improve the constitution that the Council enacts this year, which will likely be termed the 2016 constitution. The 2016 constitution can be submitted to a Constitutional Convention of elected delegates who can adequately deliberate on the matter to an extent that the Council is unable to do, given the highly compressed timeline and competing priorities.
Even if the Council had the time and energies to fully consider this constitution, principles of good governance advise that a body other than the Council author the constitution. Councilmembers were not elected to draft a constitution and face significant conflicts of interest, including, most seriously, the question of the size of the House of Delegates. For these reasons, the quality and legitimacy of a constitution drafted by the Council will be questioned.
The Council can demonstrate its commitment to a constitution of the highest quality and legitimacy by requiring a Constitutional Convention composed of elected delegates to further improve the 2016 Constitution, and to establish the detailed procedures for this Constitutional Convention in separate legislation by early 2017. A Constitutional Convention is a multi-year process that includes the election of delegates, the drafting of the constitution, educating and obtaining input from the public, and approval through a referendum. By saving citizens the enormous effort and expense of a ballot initiative, the Council will go far towards demonstrating your commitment to democracy and good governance. Such a Constitutional Convention would serve the people of the District of Columbia well in either of the two possible scenarios before us.
The first scenario, a very optimistic one, is that admission is granted by the next Congress, in which case, the Constitutional Convention can continue its work after admission. This requires two amendments to the constitution:
First, Article VII, Section 3, "Constitution Amendment procedure" should delete the current language and replace it with language that allows amendment by a Constitutional Convention that is in session at the time of admission.
Second, Article VIII, Section 1, "Transfer of Offices" should include a new paragraph that allows a Constitutional Convention that is in session at the time of admission to be deemed a valid Constitutional Convention of the State of New Columbia.
The above changes would allow the Constitutional Convention to continue its work following admission, without further action by the House of Delegates.
The second scenario, which is far more likely, is that admission is not granted by the next Congress. In this case, a Constitutional Convention can begin the work of refining and improving the Constitution in 2017 or 2018, even while we press for statehood in Congress. By doing so, we avoid wasting valuable time.
By requiring a Constitutional Convention with elected delegates in separate legislation by early 2017, the Council will allow the DC Government to petition Congress for statehood, in accordance with the Mayor's proposal, and at the same time, demonstrate to the public that you will uphold basic principles of democracy and good governance.
Additionally, we urge the Council to do the following:
Pledge to finalize the constitution at least two weeks prior to the November, 2016 election to allow for the public to understand what they are approving; and
Article VII, Section 4, "Effective Date." Amend this section to specify that the constitution and boundaries must be formally ratified by voters after admission into the Union. There has been much confusion about the legal weight of the Advisory Referendum. It is our understanding that voter approval of the Advisory Referendum does not have legal weight. Furthermore, Congress may change the Constitution and/or the boundaries during the Admission process.
Thank you for your consideration.

Structured Query Language (SQL) has been added to the base SAS system in order to take advantage of this standardized structured coding language. No additional purchase is necessary for you to use this tool. PROC SQL is a natural for individuals who are already familiar with SQL coding as well as new users to whom it would be valuable to learn this emerging language. SQL allows ready access to many different file types and data bases with the same general metaphor of relational design and data representation of tables of rows and columns. This language also has the particular advantage in SAS of both a simpler and more efficient alternative to the match-merge.
This course focuses on using Structured Query Language (SQL) for data retrieval within SAS programs from SASdatasets. Emphasis will be placed on extracting and manipulating data from multiple files or tables with simple and concise queries.
Course objectives:
Upon completion, the student will be able to perform queries on data using:
Knowledge of basic SAS programming including:
This class is only offered privately for a group. There are no public sessions of this class.
The SAS workshops have all been developed in house by our consultant/instructors. Our instructors hold SAS Certifications in V8 and keep current through SAS Workshops and Consulting projects. We offer a wide variety of on-site training courses. All of our courses are modularized so the curriculum can be tailored to meet your training needs.

I'm in Yantai, in Shangdong province in China. A costal resort with 9 miles of golden beaches overlooking North Korea, equidistant between Shanghai and Beijing. A beautiful place, the wine area of this global Superpower at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. I've been to all of the awards since 2008. Sitting on a bus knowing not knowing the destination with the worlds best food writers is my idea of heaven, the fun, the intelligent conversations about food and more importantly the global networking is my idea of work and a holiday. But Chinese food in China, what is it?
Thats a very good question. I have been to this fabulous country many times. Many many times. I've presented over 20 hours of TV here, I've had audiences of 100 million watch my shows, I've launched AGA cookers here, I've seen the most amazing landscapes and every bit I have treasured. But it's taken me a while, one can not appreciate China through British eyes, one has to set aside all one knows from ones culture and realise that China has older and more history than the UK. That China is a country older than the UK and the history of that through the 24 Dynasties (Ming, Qing, Tang etc) and about 400 Emperors, right up to the modern day PRC (Peoples Republic of China).
After launching AGA in China in March past many comments were to be found on social media in the UK asking for Chinese recipes. I assure you, what the West knows as Chinese food is nothing but an insult to the Chinese. Food tells the story of a people, it's history, its celebrations. And China does that better than any of the 40 other countries I have visited during my time on this Earth.
As a basic guide, Monsieur Andre Cointreau, president of Le Cordon Bleu famously stated there are 2 types of cuisine in the world, French and Chinese. The only technique that is similar through the two cuisines is boiling. There are 10 cooking methods in Western cooking and 15 in China. they don't roast, bake or grill in China. But the level of skill here is stunning. Envious to even the highest levels of Western Cuisine. Where we eat for taste, the Chinese for texture. The Chinese eat for health and due to a poor past, quite rightly so waste nothing.
There are '8 cuisines' of China, each of them very different in how they are made, it's such a large place, that's why! Shangdong where I'm currently situated is considered the "foundation of Chinese cuisine" when a chef is training. The food is fresh, brightly coloured, served beautifully and dinners go on for a long time and are an event in themselves. Each Chinese dish tells a story of history and this is prized more than the flavour, the texture is next, the health benefits followed lastly by the flavour. Completely the opposite to the West.
Wine in China has a different culture to the West. At a formal meal everyone has a glass of wine, the size of a thimble, a toast is made to each person at the table in turn and the wine is drunk in one go. Then the next and so on. Small wine glasses are appreciated if its a large table! Chinese rice wine is "hard liquor" and I have seen it referred to as 3 parts petroleum, one part French perfume. That is kind. I have drunk it many times, but I struggle with the flavour.
Yantai where I am is the new wine region of China. The size of the bonded warehouses, the hectare upon hectare of vineyards, the Scottish Castle – Treaty Port (complete with AGA), the German Schloss and French Chateau. Wine culture will change due to Yantai, the Chinese are masters at planning ahead. It's a privilege to be here.
So back to sweet and sour? The future here is certainly not sour.

This blog will analyze plays in reference to their possible production in my local theatrical venues. What is acceptable, even expected, on Broadway stages and regional theatres in the last 20 years has fast outdistanced the acceptability equations of our community in both content and multiculturalism. With all this in mind, my goal is to find and produce theatre with which my community can identify and by which it can be inspired. . I am ALWAYS looking for suggestions of plays to read. I like to direct play's that are not stupid . I like cerebral. I'll take witty. I'll take well-crafted farce. I've got to get it produced here Pleasantville. That often means that nobody dies that anybody cares about. The language can't go as far as the F bomb (but I'm always pushing!). I refuse to censor scripts. I prefer casts of 10 and under. I prefer plays set ANYWHERE else but The Northeast. I prefer American playwrights. I prefer a time period of 1920 to the present. HERE WE GO!

Took me forever to get back to you, but I'd love to hear your take on "Arms and the Man" by George Bernard Shaw, "The Foreigner" by Larry Shue, "Moon Over Buffalo" by Ken Ludwig, and "The 39 Steps" adapted by Patrick Barlow. I know, they're all comedies, but that's kind of what I've been into recently. Anyway, I hope any of this helps and your season goes well!
I've seen three (Arms, Moon, 39) and was in rehearsals for Foreigner when I got a better job! It may be a while because I'm buried with work right now
