Vampire Kisses begins with a chance meeting of our heroine and hero at
a college library, but their encounter is short-lived as our main man suddenly
vanishes... leaving our heroine lusting for more.
Their next unexpected rendezvous occurs at a campus alumni party, and after
some clever repartee the hook is set, but once again our hero mysteriously
disappears. Not to be outdone, our heroine and her best friend decide to hunt for

and it's not long before cupid's arrows find their mark and they fall in love.
The plot thickens when our hero's unnatural habits give him away, and our
boisterous beauty discovers that the man she loves has a bite that is definitely
worse than his bark. They are forced apart; he by his worry of turning his
beloved into one of his own, and she by the unsavory thought of becoming her
love's next meal.

hero make her his mate for life and forever after? Vampire Kisses

[Student Shows 2013] Essay 6: Penny Lewis
There is a commonly held prejudice that architecture students are still nurtured on a diet of the Masters. It is imagined that they are subjected to hours of history lectures dominated by the canon of Dead White Men: Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Louis Kahn. The truth is that the canon is long gone. We have no agreed consensus as to what constitutes the important lessons of history for contemporary students. As a consequence, students often see their history courses as little more than a basic studio source book. Rewriting history to include the 'excluded' is not going to solve this problem.
As a lecturer, I devote time explaining Le Corbusier's work (buildings and texts), but my belief that a serious personal exploration of his work is essential study is frequently undermined by others who like to dismiss 'Corb' with a single gag. He is repeatedly discredited: there is the Villa Savoye's leaking roof, his treatment of Eileen Gray and (for the most philistine) the miserable residential output of authoritarian regimes. I am repeatedly reminded that Mies stayed too long in Berlin under the Nazis, that FLW's arrogance knew no bounds and that Kahn was a philanderer. It's very unfashionable to talk about 'pioneers' and it's very rare to see the word 'Masters' used without the obligatory quotation marks.
We appear to have arrived at a moment at which the 'critical' impulse that began life as a scholarly and healthy engagement with the past (Tafuri et al) has degenerated into a destructive cynicism. There is no shortage of scholarly and interesting history books, journals and conferences but they launched into a world in which we struggle to convey the value of history as part of a student's specific knowledge and broader education. The difficulty stems from the fact that, while we might admire Michelangelo's drawings in a focused, instrumental way, in general we are pretty indifferent to our ancestors and their achievements.
Cicero wrote that 'not to know what has been transacted in former times is to continue always as a child'. Are we in turn in danger of infantilising architecture students? As Andrew Leach explains in his excellent book What is Architectural History? contemporary architectural history is not canonical, but chaotic. Today, the history of the discipline is not packaged as a story of 'great men'. It may be organised according to style, period and biography, but it's often structured around culture, type, technique, geography, theme or analogy - the content depends upon the teacher. There are 'conservatives' -teachers who persevered through the years of 'critical' and 'post-' theory and continue to teach the survey of important buildings and architects - but they struggle to communicate the value of their surveys in the broader culture of relativism. On the other side, there are the critics who have constructed 'the other tradition' and the accounts of those excluded (due to gender or geography) from the old 'grand narrative'. All of these approaches have academic value.
The aspiration to 'open up the canon with post-structuralist and post-colonialist theory' could be useful, were it not for the fact that it coincides with a broader culture that sees little value in the past. Much of contemporary history teaching involves a public display of our insecurities and doubts about the 'canon'. In this context it's not difficult to understand why students find it hard to study the achievements of the past, whether it is Mies or Palladio, with any conviction or passion.
Our problems are compounded by historiography. As Leach says, 'the emergence of … architectural historiography is symptomatic of a desire to understand the transition from the sureties of modernism and the modernist project to the absolute relativity of knowledge.'
Historiography is valuable - but it is in danger of becoming a means of recycling our insecurities. The understanding of the 'relativity of knowledge' should not mean that we abandon the task of identifying the achievements of the past and passing them on with a sense of conviction.
Some imagine that the current difficulties with teaching stem from that fact that 'History' can be understood in a variety of ways: as a tool for practice, an art form, or a cultural mirror. However, this rich heterogeneity does not explain why we fail collectively to give students a real sense of why history is important. The difficulties could be connected to broader approaches to education.
We are constantly reminded that we live in an ever-changing world and that all knowledge is provisional. Educational theory stresses the importance of developing students' research skills, rather than their understanding, and teachers are urged to make their lectures 'relevant'. But the drive to be relevant and to develop transferable skills undermines the argument for history. The ARB/RIBA criteria for the education of the architect describe the knowledge and skills needed by the contemporary architect, and these include an appreciation of the relevance of history and theory to the discipline. The aspiration is genuine, but do we have any idea what this actually means in practice? In his book Wasted: Why Education Isn't Educating (2009) Frank Furedi argues that 'properly understood history is the subject that probably contributes most to the broadening out of our imagination'. He also argues that 'probably the single most important driver of educational philistinism is the compulsive impulse to render education more and more relevant'. In a bid to make education relevant to the current generation we place undue emphasis on what is new and changing and little time explaining what has gone before.
Hannah Arendt, in The Crisis of Education (1968) explains that it is the responsibility of teachers to pass on their accumulated knowledge to the next generation, who, being young, will make sense of that understanding for their new world. Arendt argues that all teaching is fundamentally an act of 'conservation', not to conserve the past for nostalgic reasons, but because the conservation of the old provides the basis for renewal and innovation.
Penny Lewis is a lecturer at Scott Sutherland School of Architecture in Aberdeen and a founder of the AE foundation (www.aefoundation.co.uk)
Who should be taught in the architectural canon?

"it is the responsibility of teachers to pass on their accumulated knowledge to the next generation, who, being young, will make sense of that understanding for their new world. Arendt argues that all teaching is fundamentally an act of 'conservation', not to conserve the past for nostalgic reasons, but because the conservation of the old provides the basis for renewal and innovation."
damn straight!
We should be embarrassed as a profession that too many practing architects are not able to talk about the architecture of the past with any real knowledge. Our excuse? It doesn't matter because it's really old and we live in modern times now! The trouble is that you can keep applying this principle of the 'superceded canon' suceessively as time passes, to such a degree that nothing learned is perceived as having any real value anymore, and this is exactly where we are as a profession right now. If anything goes, why do you need architects?
When I was at the Mac this kind of stuff (viz. 'who' or 'what' should be taught) was left up to the students to read up on, i.e. via a booklist: e.g. Frampton's Modern Architecture: a Critical History.
When a tutor/lecturer talks with the same language (conviction) as in these literary works, it's time for either: the student (training architect) to choose a different course provider; or for the course to be invalidated/un-prescribed by the RIBA/ARB.
Dissemination/debriefing from the lectern, studio &/or crit-space shouldn't involve too many syllables/letters per word per sentence. I was lucky in getting exactly this, excepting one part time studio tutor whom I didn't mind.
If I didn't read up*, then my loss!
If conversely - for instance in the language to be found in this article, which I hope and trust is specifically reader orientated jargon - was ever to be found in class, i.e. regurgitating, substituting or even supplementing that expected to be found in booklist textbooks, students wouldn't then bother to read or absorb important critical awareness within actual architecture discourse on their own account/accord.
Discourse simply provides hymn-sheets for all of us to make what we will of it. Students shouldn't ever be distracted/de-railed from this quite adequate resource – a good booklist and library suffices.
This frees up the teacher to teach: a good thing these days given the increased admin duties etc. Students are at school to learn, not there to clone the teachers scripted understanding or knowledge! They are not apprentices of budding or would-be theorists/discourse-makers.
The RIBA/ARB should again not be accrediting/prescribing this type of training/schooling for architects. A Masters, Diploma, PgDip, MSc, etc. is fine to support for this kind of education, but it must not be confused with the BArch and DipArch awards that are ascribed as actual architects' qualifications, but instead as research courses.
Where dissemination does take the form of such jargon it simply replaces actual teaching time on a genuine BArch/DipArch course.
I therefore disagree with the sentiment behind the quoted passages that 'teachers should pass on their understanding of discourse with conviction'. Passing on knowledge of discourse in terms of references is fine, but nothing much more to promote/maintain the learning faculties of potential architects?
A teacher's own understanding of discourse, even where tremendously scholarly, should quite simply not come between that of a developing architect's.
It looks like the RIBA/ARB now have to seriously see where this kind of - research orientated - teaching is present and disassociate it with the accredited architecture degree/diploma for architects.
I'm sure this has already happened to an extent (given the breadth of courses that schools are now beginning to offer) in recent times. There's obviously a market for research based architecture, but again, the profession of architecture must understand what courses are developing 1) architects & 2) researchers. I'd help them differentiate if my fees weren't so high (£50/hr)!
* The irony is IMO that for a better grasp of architecture discourse and theory, the best thing is to be schooled as an architect rather than as an architecture academic/researcher. That said, a developing architect can easily forgo any academic prowess at his/her disposal, whereas a developing academic/researcher can't, unless of course it's their motive is to be architects getting in through the back door of an accredited architecture course in disguise.
RIBA give me a call: £50/hr will get things sorted out across the country; £150 if you want me abroad too!
ps: I'd have edited this, but Friday night calls!

One Life to Live showed me something last week that I haven't seen in 30 years of soap viewing: A mass wedding of two dozen gay couples. This show has pushed the envelope in a number of crazy ways since the '70s, sending its characters to heaven, to an underground city and careening through time. What a pleasure it was
OLTL's comedic elements are greatly appreciated and should not be taken for granted. Daytime executives and show-runners seem to have forgotten that funny characters and comic set pieces were de rigueur during the glory years of General Hospital and Days of Our Lives, the two soaps that commanded the largest young audiences (while keeping veteran viewers engaged, as well) during the genre's heyday.
to see the show execute a storyline that was out of the ordinary without being out of this world. It was a stunt, to be sure, but despite [Read more…]

Television's night of nights is also Spelunky's night of nights, it seems, with the brutal platformer making a surprise appearance during the awards show.
The Colbert Report won for Best Writing In A Variety Series, and when they cut to one of those writers, Rob Dubbin (who also writes about games sometimes) he was...playing Spelunky. No reason. Just because it's awesome.

Tastings: Upcoming EventsPosted: April 30th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Event, Uncategorized | Tags: Chocolate, Chocolate Tour of Newburyport, Forks and Corks, Gnocchi Demonstration, North of Boston, North Shore, Salem Wine Imports, Shubie's Market Place, The Blue Ox, Wine Tasting | 12 Comments »
Wine, cheese, chocolate, and pasta: those are the four food groups, right? Actually, they are the focus of a handful of upcoming food events on the North Shore that we're excited about, so read on and mark your calendars for a tasty spring!
First off, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., on May 9th, Shubie's in Marblehead is hosting what they are calling Corks and Forks; their first annual food and wine festival. The event will feature a variety of more than 50 wines, with samples being poured from France, Spain, Argentina, South Africa, Chile, Italy and California. Also on hand will be an array of cheeses and charcuterie from local and national artisans, as well as Tapas tastes from Chef Lynne Aronson. Admission is free, and on Saturday only many of the wines featured will be heavily discounted.
Shubie's Market Place
16 Atlantic Ave., Marblehead
If relaxing with cold wine and cool jazz is more up your alley, head on over to Salem Wine Imports at 32 Church St. in Salem. Also on the 9th, from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m., North Shore local Ed Barker will be there to present vintages from the New Zealand winery Barkers Marque, which he co-owns with his brother Simon.
As an added draw, they will have a representative from Verve Records on hand, who will be spinning Diana Krall's new release, "Quiet Nights" and a hosting a drawing to give away copies of the CD.

If you are like us, always looking for a good excuse to indulge in chocolate, have we got an event for you! On Saturday May 16th from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Newburyport will once again be hosting the Chocolate Tour of Newburyport.
This event is win-win; visitors stroll around checking out the shops in Newburyport while sampling a chocolate taste treat at each location, and all the proceeds go to benefit the Red Cross Foundation of the North Shore.
More than 20 stores will be participating, including Ballotin Chocolate Boutique and Café, Greta's Great Grains, Life is Good, Ruby Slipper, Talbots and Valentines. A wide range of goodies will be served, including chocolates from Lake Champlain, New England Chocolate Company and Willy's Candy Shop in Salisbury as well as treats like Barefoot Contessa brownies, chocolate martinis, and gourmet hot chocolate with a splash of your choice of liqueur.
Visitors can pre-purchase tickets ($15, cash or check only) at Valentine's at 27 Water Street, The Ruby Slipper at 50 Water Street, Ballotin Chocolates at 16 Unicorn Street, or First National Bank of Ipswich at 155 State Street. On the day of the event, the tickets can be picked up at the Unitarian Church on Pleasant Street, where there will be a booth in the Market Square Plaza.
Shopping, chocolate, helping the Red Cross; what's not to love?

I am somewhat embarrassed that you have found your cartoons always hanging in the loo. I shall have to find a space of much greater prominence for the next ones!
For us old timers in Gstaad, Oliver Preston's humour really captures the essence of the village.
"Oliver Preston has the joyful skill of reminding us that we remain the world's funniest nation."
"Like Michael McIntyre on paper"
"Oliver Preston's cartoons are perfectly observed with visual jokes in every corner."
Oliver's cartoons bring a smile to my face no matter how often I look at them. The themes are as achingly funny as the drawings are exquisite.
Oliver Preston is a wise man. He gave up bond-dealing to draw cartoons. Anyone can be a bond-dealer but to be a cartoonist you need not only a gift for...

The Gosport Diving Museum, the first diving museum in the UK, recently opened. The BBC has an audio slideshow showcasing some of the exhibits. The new museum claims to have the best range of scuba diving equipment on display in all of Europe. Have you been to the Gosport museum? Is it worth the high praise?

An Imaging Example
A bitmap can be represented as a vector of pixels, with additional attributes describing height, width, pixel format, the color palette, and so on. As you can see, expression generics can optimize operations OR, AND, XOR, or taking the one's complement. To illustrate the idea, I wrote a sample program. Class Vector is replaced by class Bitmap that initializes its container from a JPEG file. When using WPF classes, a plain byte array is better suited for bitmap manipulations than a List<> that I used in the Vector class. Consequently, class Bitmap needs its own iterator implementation. I also need to carry image attributes from the leaves to the root where they are used to render the resulting image on the screen. Struct BitmapParams serves this purpose and interface IIter is replaced with IBitmap that knows about BitmapParams. All expression nodes implement this interface, and the BitmapParams instances are copied from the leaves to the root. To simplify the illustration, all input images have the same attributes. The expression is evaluated when the root node is converted back to a Bitmap.
High-level languages offer greater productivity, but writing efficient code is challenging, since the programmers are farther removed from the machine. Sometimes we have to trade productivity for the runtime advantages of a lower-level language, or accept performance limitations. Expression templates and similar techniques give us a chance to avoid this compromise and write faster and more compact code.

Folding sweet jumbo lump crabmeat and chopped scallions into the classic batter of cornmeal and buttermilk dresses up these pups for a party. They're crisp, fluffy, and, truth be told, dangerously easy to eat, especially after a dip in a lemony homemade tartar sauce speckled with parsley, sweet pickles, and capers.

Pastors push to remove "slavery" from state constitution
They want the reference to slavery edited out of the state constitution, which was written in 1877.
"To equate incarceration as a punishment for a crime with the abhorrent. immoral and ungodly institution of slavery is an affront to both the dignity of incarcerated persons as well as to the dignity of people whose ancestors were subject to the cruelty of slavery in our country," said the Rev. Nelson Bock of Together Colorado, the multi-faith, multi-racial organization pushing the measure.

A while ago I committed the linuxulator D‑Trace probes I talked about earlier. I waited a little bit for this announcement to make sure I have not broken anything. Nobody complained so far, so I assume nothing obviously bad crept in.
The >500 probes I committed do not cover the entire linuxulator, but are a good start. Adding new ones is straight forward, if someone is interested in a junior-kernel-hacker task, this would be one. Just ask me (or ask on emulation@), and I can guide you through it.

I have never used this method to feed my bees so I had a few questions about it
1. Can open feeding start a robbing feeding or can it help stop one?
2. How much syrup do you put out at one time and how often do you refil your barrels (currently I have about 150 hives in some locations and I was thinking of using 55 gal barrels to feed out of)?
3. What are some other pro and cons on open feeding?

So, the Con-Dems have announced that they are going to sell the forests they 'own'* (through the Forestry Commission) to private, I assume mostly profit-making, companies. To get you up to speed:
- Guardian article by John Vidal: 'UK government confirms forest sell-off plans'
- The Government's letter to MPs
- EcoEarth's 'Action Alert', urging readers to 'Stop UK Government's Grand Forest Sell-off, Urge Protection and Restoration for the People's Old Forests'
Info that stood out to me from the above:
1) – 72% of UK woodland is already in private ownership – the FC only 'own' 18%.
2) – Total UK woodland cover has gotten more extensive over the last century – from 4% in 1919 to 12% currently. This compares to 33% (EcoEarth ibid.) – 44% (Woodland Trust) for the European average†. However, we still have to ask what kind of woodland…
[…] only a small proportion of [the UK landscape's 12% woodland cover], around 40 per cent, is native woodland.
Ancient woodland, land which has been continuously wooded since at least 1600AD and is our closest link with the original wildwood, now covers only 2 per cent* of the UK's land area.
(*This varies from 4.2 per cent in Scotland to 3.2 per cent in Wales, 2.45 per cent in England and less than 0.1 per cent in Northern Ireland.)
Sadly, nearly 50 per cent of the ancient woodland that survived until the 1930s has since been lost or damaged by agriculture, development or planting by non-native conifers for commercial forestry. (Woodland Trust, 'Why has woodland in the UK declined?' – ibid.)
Further, the 2% of ancient woodland land area splits into the categories of 'Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland' (ASNW) which 'is composed of native tree species that have not obviously been planted' and 'Planted Ancient Woodland Sites' (PAWS) – 'ancient woods in which the former tree cover has been replaced, often with non-native trees' (Wikipedia). So it isn't clear how much – if any – woodland has survived the onslaught of the agricultural/industrial culture in this country over the last 6,000 years; how much of it in any way resembles its previous form.
3) – 75% of wood used ('consumed') in the UK is imported from abroad.
On 1) I suppose the issue is that, in theory, the public can exercise rights of access on government-owned land, whereas doing so on private land would involve jumping a few fences and operating outside the law (policemen backing up property 'rights' with force). I'm waiting to hear back from the FC about what percentage of their land is actually open to the public. This snippet suggests not all of it, but that there might at least be the possibility of some legal redress:
The commission, says Lees ['recreation and public affairs manager' for the FC in SW England], now aims to make as much of its woodland accessible to the public as possible. In fact, it is obliged to; the Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act 2000 ensures the public can walk freely on mapped areas. (link)
(Of course, if you consider the law unjust or that those dictating its terms have no legitimacy, then you can declare it irrelevant and go about your business as you please. However, I would advise you to do so either invisibly or in numbers substantial enough to ward off attacks from dedicated enforcers…‡)
2) feels like waters receding before a tidal wave, explained by 3) – as I guessed before timber companies currently find it more economical to operate abroad for the usual reasons of lax regulations, greater abundance of exploitable 'resources', and the cheap energy (oil) which allows them to ship their products (the carcasses of trees) to any receptive market, no matter how far away. Another Guardian article informs us that '[b]oth the Thatcher and Major governments tried to privatise the Forestry Commission in the 1980s and 1990s but failed following intense pressure from conservation groups and lack of interest by industry' – funny how the successes of environmentalists always seem to coincide with industry disinterest in this way… How long are things going to stay that way though? The article mentions that:
[…]land has become more valuable, not just for timber but for providing "environmental services" such as flood control, climate change measures and amenity.
In England the commission is subsidised by £30m a year, but generates an additional £63m a year in income. A government economic study released earlier this year calculated that it provides £2,100 in value per hectare per year if benefits such as erosion protection, pollution absorption, carbon sequestration, health provision are included. (ibid.)
… and we have similar barf-inducement from the RSPB spokesman talking about 'our natural capital' – all of which views the environment as a subsidiary of the capitalist economy (it's the other way round), and assumes that the best way to preserve something is to put a price tag on it. For the moment the industrialists aren't acting too impressed:
Prices today reflect a very different market, says Clegg ['senior partner at John Clegg that handles the sale of about two-thirds of the woods sold in the UK each year']: "High-quality broadleaf woodland is the most valuable. A small, southern England wood costs about £10,000 an acre. Whereas, in Northumberland, a large commercial forest larger than 100 acres might expect to fetch £1,750-£3,000 an acre. Consider that farmland is currently worth £4,000-£6,000 an acre and many might see planting trees as a way to devalue your land, even with the subsidies available. It's very hard work to make a forest commercially viable. And, perversely, it's a real struggle to get planning permission to plant a new forest.
"Back in the 1980s when the tax relief was available, we had about 23,000 acres being planted a year. So the idea – as has been suggested this week – that someone will want to buy, say, the New Forest for commercial reasons just isn't viable. It's just not a commercial proposition. And even the major overseas buyers are not going to be interested, because our forests are just too small for them to consider. The biggest forests that typically come on the market today are worth no more than £500,000. Even talk of their future value as 'carbon sinks' [forests commercially maintained due to their tradable worth as absorbers of carbon dioxide] is hugely overrated. There is lots of talk at the moment about the 'carbon rights' of forests, but it is still a really undefined market in this country. I can't think of a sale yet where we've put a value on the carbon rights." (ibid.)
… but give it a few years and they might be talking differently, especially if, by then, the land is already out of notional public ownership, and higher import prices start to make 'indigenous resources' look more attractive…
Meanwhile, I read in last week's SchNEWS an example of what happens to Our Precious Ancient Woodland even before the proposed sell-off:
In 2009, West Sussex County Council granted permission to Northern Petroleum to test drill for oil in the ancient woodland at Markwells Wood, near Chichester (see SchNEWS 631).
The firm reckons it has uncovered a stash of between 35 and 61 million barrels of joy beneath the wood and has now decided to start bringing in heavy equipment and begin drilling.
The firm's boss announced: "The commercial case for drilling Markwells Wood is compelling when the price level of oil is above $80 per barrel." i.e. At $80 a pop that's some haul with a street value in the billions. Yee-haw!
My rule: Ignore what they say; look at what they do and the priorities become clear. Some more media reports:
- 'Rush for oil reaches Britain's fields' – Katie Hunt, Business Reporter, BBC News
- 'Search for the South East's oil' – Peter Sherlock, BBC News
- 'The South(fork) Downs: Outrage as oil barons bid to drill in Sussex beauty spot' – Sam Greenhill, The Daily Mail
- 'Anger over South Downs oil rig' – Paul Eccleston, The Telegraph
And more take-away info:
1) Northern Petroleum plan to fell 1 hectare (approx. 2.5 acres) of PAWS woodland in an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and 'England's newest National Park' – the South Downs.
2) Onshore drilling in the UK is becoming more 'commercially viable' (ie: attractively profitable) since North Sea oil passed its peak in 2009 and imports are getting more expensive. Only 1.5% of the 1.6 million barrels of oil extracted every day from UK territory comes from onshore wells, but 97 new licences for oil/gas exploration were granted in 2008, compared to just 8 five years previously.
3) The council doesn't even own the land, and, unless there are undisclosed kickbacks (Daily Mail commenter 'Pete, UK' has a 'good friend who works for a council planning department' who says that 'back handers are rife in the planning process' – good enough for me 😉 ), the profits get split 50:50 between the oil company and the central government treasury, leaving locals with the questionable benefits of temporary, transient 'jobs in the haulage and service maintenance sector' (the best NP could come up with).
I followed the link in the second BBC article to the Chichester District Council Planning Commitee Report of May '08 (PDF) which declares a 'clear and overriding need for oil exploration', backing this up with referrals to the 'National Minerals Policy' and their own 'Development Plan Policies' (1 – 'Promote competitive markets in the UK and beyond', 2 – 'Maximise the potential of the UK's conventional oil and gas reserves in an environmentally acceptable manner' and 3 – 'Maintain the reliability of energy supplies') before quoting this piss-weak justification repeatedly in the subsequent text, as if they've made an adequate case.
See if you can make sense of this paragraph:
The loss of ancient woodland should not be permitted unless the need for, and benefits of the development in that location outweigh the loss of the woodland habitat also taking into account the habitat/amenity value of that woodland. The need for the development is clear. [Because we say so.] The benefits of the development in this location are two fold; achieving acceptable noise levels at sensitive receptors and excellent natural screening. Although there is a clear desire to retain ancient woodland it is considered that, given the visual/amenity benefits of siting the development therein, measures proposed to retain ancient features where possible, restoration to structured woodland, substantial compensatory woodland/hedgerow planting, and the relatively limited quality of the woodland, its loss is acceptable. (p.3)
Have they really decided to cut down an ancient woodland because it is surrounded by trees?? Also, 'its loss is acceptable' – disturbing, huh? Acceptable to you, maybe…
Point 8.3 really scrapes the barrel:
Exploration wells are an invaluable source of data on the sub-surface geological structure of Britain and greatly extend our knowledge of the nation's resources.
A knowledge which will be used … to extract more resources!
Neither Natural England or the Environment Agency raised any objections to these plans, only 'conditions' about groundwater pollution (4.8), 'mitigation measures' for 'badger protection, reptile relocation and bat boxes' (11.6) and soil and subsoil being 'permanently retained on site and used in restoration' (Appendix 1.18). Objections to the loss of ancient woodland were raised by the Woodland Trust (4.20), the South Downs Joint Committee (4.22) and the West Sussex County Council 'Landscape' (who also raised concerns about 'setting a precedent' – 4.12) and 'Ecology' (4.14) consultees, but it's not clear if they plan to do anything about it after having their views noted and ignored. Like Jeff Buckley sang: 'We know you're useless like cops at the scene of the crime'. Practically the first thing you learn about ancient woodland is that it takes centuries to mature, and you can't kill the trees, scoop out the soil and expect it to grow back the way it was before.
I find it all very depressing. The word 'need' or 'needs' comes up 46 times in the 32-page document, most of which instances refer at base to the 'need' of the agrarian/industrial/capitalist/civilised economy to bleed the Earth dry of all materials useful for its project of neverending expansion. You could more honestly substitute the word with 'want(s)', 'desire(s)' or 'demand(s)'. I'm reminded of the husband's traditional 'need' (in patriarchal societies) for sexual gratification, with or without his wife's consent. Lianne at 'We Left Marks' points out that the estimated 35 million barrels of oil under Markwells Wood 'would only last the country just over three weeks at our current rate of consumption', and puts the news in the context of Peak Oil (crucial background which mainstream media still don't provide), asking the multi-billion-dollar question:
Is it worth destroying a hectare of ancient woodland to get at? Well Northern Petroleum says it is. But I would question the long-term usefulness of energy companies (though admittedly their long-term logic tends to defer to short-term profitability) and government continuing to focus upon energy-intensive and harder-to-acquire sources, like tar sands or Iraq's oil fields, when we could be getting ahead of the game.
'Northern Petroleum says it is' – quite. Do we** agree with them? Do we agree with the law which 'allows exploration for valuable minerals such as oil even in national parks if the potential benefits outweigh the destruction caused' (Daily Mail, ibid.) – a totally subjective judgement? I for one don't buy the argument that 'they're just giving us what we want'; I think the Resource Extractors in effect force us into dependency on their products through the large scale of their operations, which rapidly inundate any alternatives. Refusal to buy the product (eg: trains, roads/cars, computers, mobile phones, and the raw materials from which these are built) becomes a tactic relegated to 'eccentrics' and 'misanthropes' on the margins of society, once the product is common enough to form a social 'expectation'. And if it's there, you may as well use it, right? Or, as George Monbiot put it: 'if fossil fuels are extracted, they will be used' – supply generates demand. His solution? 'Leave [them] in the ground'.
The SchNEWS crew hope for 'a Sussex rabble yet to make the whole project go a little less smoothly' (ibid.), and that's something I'd like to see too. However, to really ignite opposition I think we need better reasons than the ones given by conservationists. It comes back to the fundamental problem: we don't depend on the forests for our survival. Therefore you can talk all you want about recreation, environmental 'services', mental health benefits, etc. – ultimately we're farming people: our (not-so-)livelihoods come from cutting the trees down and planting rows of grain where they once stood. The 'natural capitalists' have a point in a way – our culture perceives value in terms of £££s, so if we see no value in the woods; if we prize the minerals underneath them more than the living communities on the surface, then they are doomed. It's an old, sad story which Guy Hand tells in 'The Forest of Forgetting' (PDF):
Like most indigenous cultures, theirs [the 'Gaelic speaking Celts"] developed through a long and close connection to land. The early Scots saw the lives of trees interlocked with their own. Whether innate or hard-won, they perfected a balanced, reciprocal relationship with forest, and took from it knowing their own health depended on its preservation. Highland historian James Hunter believes their environmental awareness was unique, predating any other in Europe by hundreds of years.
With the coming of the English and the Industrial Revolution everything changed. Sixteenth century England was hungry for wood. Empire building had depleted their forests, and as English woodsmen worked their way north, into the Highlands, they brought with them not only axes, but a profoundly different philosophy of nature—a view aggressively and breathtakingly anthropomorphic, a view that pictured everything on earth as intended for "the benefit and pleasure of man," and untamed woodland as something to be feared, exploited, and, if necessary, erased. Literature of the time bristled with references to "degenerated nature," the "deformed chaos" of woodland, and odes to trees far different from those of the Celts:
…haughty trees, that sour
The shaded grass, that weaken thorn-set mounds
And harbour villain crows…
The English saw, in the Highlands, not only land darkened with trees, but incivility. They called the native Highlanders "savages" (from the Latin root silva, meaning forest), and their trees "an excrescence of the earth, provided by God for the payment of debts." Through the axe, the Highlands and its people were to be cleansed of chaos and shown the path to culture. (via)
We know the corporate/government priorities – what will we allow to shape ours? I'm going to direct my energies toward developing a co-dependent relationship (based variously on food, medicine, fuel & building materials, as well as space to walk, recuperate and 'commune') with the woods that remain. For your own good I suggest you do the same.
My comment on the 'save our forests' petition (which I signed, with a few misgivings):
Nobody can 'own' land, but some peoples' delusions that they do can bring about more destruction than others'. Especially the psycopaths (whose 'personhood' the law recognises) we know as corporations.
The land gives us life. Kill it and we kill ourselves.
* – of course nobody can 'own' land. I remember this quote from Crocodile Dundee:
Well, you see, Aborigines don't own the land.They belong to it. It's like their mother. See those rocks? Been standing there for 600 million years. Still be there when you and I are gone. So arguing over who owns them is like two fleas arguing over who owns the dog they live on. (link)
Also, another Jensenism: land ownership exists only as a collective delusion, backed up by force and/or the threat of force. Nobody really owns any land, just pieces of paper which we all agree means they do.
† – the FC's 'Forestry Facts & Figures 2010' (PDF) give 37% for the EU, which goes up to 45% if Russia's 49% forest coverage is included (Table 14). They agree on the UK's 12% overall coverage.
‡ **Update** – the FC's David Edwards pointed me to these pages which refer to total accessible woodland in the UK, regardless of ownership (figures gathered by 'Woods For People', a Woodland Trust project). The 73% 'accessibility for recreation' in the UK's 'total forest area' (2005) from the first page appears to have been revised downwards to 49% (2004, 2009) because the results 'were based in part on total land areas, rather than woodland areas' (link – table, note 2). So about half, then. The second page provides an interesting footnote to the CRoW issue:
Under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, most state woodland in England and Wales has been dedicated, but access to private woodland is permissive, not a legal right. In Scotland, the Land Reform Act 2003 gives a statutory right of responsible access, which in principle applies to almost all woodland […] even if there are considerable access difficulties in practice.
For FC-owned woodland, I eventually tracked down these informative paragraphs from the results (PDF) to the Woodland Trust's 2004 'Space For People' report:
Role of the public forest estate
The public forest estate, owned and/or managed by the Forestry Commission in Great Britain and Forest Service in Northern Ireland, is crucially important for access across the UK. The Forestry Commission's estate (by area) as a proportion of all accessible woodland is: England 66 per cent, Scotland 86 per cent and Wales 91 per cent. In Northern Ireland over 90 per cent of accessible woodland (by area) is Forest Service estate. Any proposed rationalisation of, or changes to, the status of the public forest estate could be potentially disastrous unless it is recognised that existing access should be protected, through binding agreements.
Role of the private woodland owner
Space for People demonstrates the deficit in accessible woods near to where people live and the extent to which this deficit can be offset by opening existing woods to the public. There is clearly a need to look more widely than publicly owned woods. Much of the available woodland is privately owned and is not currently permissively open to the public. If it were, the situation would be transformed. For example, if all privately owned woodland in England were accessible, the percentage of the population with access to a 20-hectare wood within 4 kilometres would increase from 55 per cent to 82 per cent. The corresponding figures for the other countries are: Wales 72 per cent to 98 per cent, Scotland 54 per cent to 95 per cent and Northern Ireland 50 per cent to 66 per cent. (p.22)
Phew! So I think I'm right in saying that if the FC sell off half of their land as proposed, and assuming all the private buyers put up fences and signs saying 'trespassers will be prosecuted', We The Public could lose legal access to between 33 (England) and 45.5 per cent (Wales) of the already minimal woodland coverage which landowners have granted us permission to visit.
** – sorry about all the 'we's – my inner propagandist wants to spread his views & attitudes!

Sort of done with this whole pregnancy thing

Cloth Diaper Burp Cloths
So, um, I've been a little busy lately.
Aside from growing a human being, I've been working hard at ALL my other jobs, one of which is with a non-profit that provides free postpartum support for families in the Hilltowns of Western Massachusetts. One of our services is the Village Closet, a donation site for baby items -- clothes, car-seats, swings, toys, diapers, anything you could need. We have a whole WALL of cloth diapers. One of our volunteers spent the day sorting through and organizing all of them, and left us with a bag of "un-suitable" pre-folds -- they are worn out and torn up. She said they might be good for "a craft project", so of course I couldn't throw them out.
Pinterest has plenty of ideas for how to use cloth diaper as burp cloths, but most of them involve purchasing new "cloth diapers" at Target and sewing on a nice border or panel.
The ones I have are not really nice enough to be saved by a simple border -- they need to be covered up completely. But since they're actual cloth diapers (not the fake ones from Target), even torn up they should be pretty absorbent.
I had some leftover fabric from another project, so I played around and found a really easy, but very slick-looking way to cover up the diapers and make some nice, big, absorbent burp cloths/changing pads/lap pads.
- a real* prefold cloth diaper -- about 12x18". The idea here is you're using an old junky one that's been washed and washed, so it's not going to shrink any more. *The ones from target are fine, but won't be as absorbent as real ones.
- 2x pieces of Cotton Fabric, 16x24" - one solid color, and one either complementary solid color or patterned. If your diapers are a different size, I just cut the fabric 2" more on each side, and 4" more on the top and bottom than the size of the diaper.
- Matching/Contrasting colored thread
- Pins
- Iron
- Ruler and/or cutting mat
- Rotary Cutter or scissors
- Pencil
Wash, dry, and iron fabric, and iron the diaper as flat as possible.
Cut fabric into 16x24" rectangles.
On the RIGHT side (as opposed to the WRONG side) of one of the rectangles, use a pencil or chalk and draw two straight lines down at 6" from each side.
Place one piece of fabric right side down, and place diaper in the middle of it. Try to center it as much as possible -- 2" from each side, and 3-4" from top and bottom. Place the other piece of fabric right side up on top and pin all three pieces together.
Starting at about 1" down from the top of the diaper, sew a line down each penciled line, ending about 1" before the bottom of the diaper.
With Solid side up, fold sides in and over and pin to create a 1" hem. Sew down sides, starting at about 1" down from the top of the diaper and ending about 1" before the bottom of the diaper.
With Solid side up, fold top and bottom in and over and pin to create a 2" hem. You may have to trim some of the excess fabric to get it so lie flat. Following the lines from the edge hem, sew around the top and bottom hems.
Trim threads, and gift to a new mama who has NO IDEA how many times she's about to puked on. Machine Wash and Dry.

Symptoms usually do not appear until ovarian cancer is in advanced stages. If you experience any symptoms, do not assume it is due to cancer. Many symptoms can be caused by other, less serious conditions. However, it is still important to discuss them with your doctor. Early detection and treatment improve outcomes for both cancer and other health conditions.
Symptoms for ovarian cancer are vague and in common with many noncancerous conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Over time, symptoms may become more frequent or persistent. The most common symptoms of ovarian cancer are:
- Abdominal discomfort and/or pain
- Gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, or cramps
- Nausea, diarrhea , constipation , or frequent or urgent urination
- Feeling of fullness even after only a light meal
- Abnormal bleeding from the vagina
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite, which can lead to unintended weight loss
- Increase in abdominal girth from fluid build-up— ascites
- Pain or sensation of a mass in the abdomen or lymph nodes near the collarbone, under the arm, or groin
- Difficulty breathing from fluid build-up in the lungs

They had these sets up on Toysrus.com very breifly this morning. I manage to get my order in for 1 Ewok set. Had the pilots in my cart for a moment before deciding against it for now. I kind of have a feeling that the pilots won't be that hard to come by once these things hit in force. That and it's kind of boring in comparison to the ewoks.
