I read the article and I agree with you, in that this nation, its people, would do far better if we continued moving ahead, with space exploration, new technologies, and simpler and more efficient manners of taking care of our own citizens.
If we are to lead, then we need to lead and demonstrate our resolve to overcome adversity, including set backs.
Do not, for an instant, give up.
I salute you and all those at NASA and associated contractors.
Keep up the good work of Exploration!
I cannot imagine a world without NASA. There is almost nothing in today’s world that compares. Is there anywhere another government agency in the world like it? No. Similar but not the same. Lots of imitators and rightly so. Would we have the tech knowledge we enjoy today, to the extent of taking it for granted as many do. No. As I look around my house full of electronic and household gadgets I see a tiny blue ‘meatball’ emblazoned on them, if only in my mind because I know somewhere a NASA scientist or engineer has touched it or breathed life into it.
Are we lucky to have such dedication? You bet and we’d better not loose it to political infighting or neglect.
Count among your blessings the tiny but mighty agency called NASA. Encourage your kids and yourself to get involved or we just may loose the ‘meatball’ and all it means. Write your congressman or the president and tell them we need NASA to lead the ‘green’ revolution as strange as it may seem. Our tiny space agency is all ready going green in many ways. The obvious is the water recycling system on ISS. Remarkable, it recycles all moisture from the air and from human usage. Another obvious contribution is solar power. We have solar panels that can take us to Jupiter now. Amazing stuff! And there’s so much more. What we learn ‘out there’ directly impacts what we have and know here. Hubble, Chandra, Spitzer and many many other orbiting labs and Earth observers have enhanced our lives, warned of climate change and offered hope for tomorrow in these hard times.
NASA centers are cleaning themselves up in a green way as well. It’s a tough job, but needs to be done. Always a leader we need NASA. To the moon or to the grocery store. The ‘meatball’ is a sign of American quality we can all be proud of. Let’s not loose it.
PS: So many disrespect the Shuttle for being around for a long time with nowhere to go in low Earth orbit. I remember reading that an early proposal for the shuttle had it launched from a plane, and had a space station to be built by and for shuttle missions. Our first permanent steps to the stars. This was in the late 60s or early 70s. All of it was canned except the Shuttle. Why? Money? Lack of public support? Nixon? Anybody know?
Thanks for the blog. I count you Wayne Hale, as a teacher and as an asset to the entire US. I have space memorabilia I’d love you to sign. That is how much I respect all you have done for US. Thanks again.
This is all terribly depressing. What can I do, beyond the usual “write your Congressman”?
I am further depressed by how few comments there are, here. Still. Hopefully, all those people went and commented under the Derbyshire piece, instead. I haven’t checked. I’ve been thinking about this all week, and it’s bugging me. Thing I realized is, I’m confused. I can’t tell where this guy is coming from. Maybe he’s confused. Either ending human space flight would be a further sign of our country’s decrepitude and lack of spirit — or space flight was dumb and pointless, and those old-time Chinese were right to burn their fleet, because it was all folly. Was there a layer of sarcasm I’ve missed, even after 4 readings?
I have so much to say (I’ve written up notes! In the car!), and blog comments are awkward, because one doesn’t want to take up too much space and one isn’t even sure if anybody anywhere is reading them, so I’ll stop here for now.
I get very, very sad when I ponder how short the timeframe is before we retire the Space Shuttle. Granted, many people believe it was and has been a waste of time and money – but, really, what they don’t understand, is how difficult human spaceflight can be, as well as all we learn about living in space each time one launches. It takes a lot of practice to go from an “experimental vehicle” to one we depend on. Having spent the past twelve years or so in the aerospace industry, I’m still amazed at how people can live and work in space. And, all the while, they are not only learning about a new frontier, but continuing to teach us things about the earth where we currently live. I’m also amazed how so many take for granted our wonderful life on earth, while our astronauts put their lives at risk for those new discoveries, which will continue to benefit future generations. I think Americans have just become so jaded, indifferent, and apathetic about spaceflight, that eventually, unless they step up and offer support, they will be sadly disappointed when the contributions of spaceflight come from other countries. Wayne, you do such a good job of keeping us inspired, and for that, I am grateful.
I fear a dismantling of all things good at NASA. I have to say I was dismayed at the comments of the President’s nominee’s for administrator and associate administrator when asked how to to spark interest in NASA and its missions again. They were probably being political in their response, but chasing ones tail in orbit is not the way to spark interest! Don’t get me wrong, I think that the space station is a wonderful asset, but when I dream, I don’t dream of going to the space station to go to the space station. I dream of going to the space station to go to the Moon. I dream of going to the space station to go to Mars.
Sigh, I’m working on my Chinese.
No comments posted at the Derbyshire article…because there’s no comment mechanism.
My take on the Derbyshire article was, “Huh? What game are you watching?” It’s clear he and Wayne are looking at the same things…but not SEEING the same things.
To me Wayne’s position seems self-evident, so maybe I’m too wrapped up in that viewpoint myself, but it seems to me the only way you can take the same evidence and come to Derbyshire’s conclusions is willful blindness. A heaping helping of universal pessimism also helps. That may be the key factor–it’s evident in the title of Derbyshire’s book noted at the end of the article.
If we want our country (and our planet) to be great, it seems to me, we must be brave enough to be optimistic, even while being realistic and attentive to the situation at hand.
Mr. Buchner, I wrote a huge ginormous reply to your lament, however, it was not printed here. Maybe because it was ginormously huge.
Anyway, in short (for me) here are a few things you can do to promote NASA. Become involved with your local museum, school district or planetarium and bring an astronaut to town..Have a star party. The JSC website gives in real time ISS sightings and hints for star parties, food, etc. The ‘NASA Edge’ guys had a bar-b-que featuring an original foodie project: the Shuttledog and it was great fun! Get the kids involved and it’s even better.
Become a ‘Tiny Blogger’..whuzzat? It’s you and me sharing the good stuff NASA does for our country and the world, with our email buddies. I have sent so many Hubble pictures, Mars images and articles and Cassini images and articles about Saturn, to name only a few, that people have told me they would pay more taxes if they knew the money would go to NASA.
A little searching and you can find many spin-offs to tell people about. Today for example, and this is the truth, I had my teeth scaled with a tool that used ultrasound and water instead of brute force and a chisel to clean off that nasty tartar that sticks to your teeth. I heard about this tool on NASA tv (ever watch it?) and found a dentist with just that tool. Well worth the effort.
NASA tv has won an Emmy, the NASA portal has won a Webby, and so has the Cassini site. People are hustling to get the word out at NASA and the least I can do is help them, in my own small way. Some day I wish to be a NASA Ambassador, maybe you can do that, too. After all space is a pretty big place.
Don’t give up, and keep looking up!

Diabolical: The Shooter has just reached a significant milestone... The Aliens can now shoot back.
It's taken over two and a half years of evenings and weekends, a lot of frustration mixed in with some fun but at last I can start to see something that resembles a game.
Perhaps I spoke too soon. That hurt!

In January of 1850, police arrested John McFeaing in Newburyport, Massachusetts, for stealing wood from the wharves. McFeaing pleaded necessity and a public investigation was conducted. Investigators found McFeaing's wife and four children living "in the extremity of misery. The children were all scantily supplied with clothing and not one had a shoe to his feet. There was not a stick of firewood or scarcely a morsel of food in the house, and everything betokened the most abject want and misery."
The quickening pace of trade and finance during the early 19th century not only increased the demand for middle-class clerks and shopkeepers, it also dramatically increased demand for unskilled workers, such as carters, coal heavers, day laborers, delivery people, dockworkers, draymen, longshoremen, packers, and porters. Such unskilled workers earned extremely low incomes and led difficult lives. In many of these families, wives and children were forced to work to maintain even a low standard of living. In 1851 Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, estimated the minimum weekly budget needed to support a family of five. Essential expenditures for rent, food, fuel, and clothing amounted to $10.37 a week. In that year, a shoemaker or a printer earned just $4 to $6 a week, a male textile operative $6.50 a week, and an unskilled laborer just $1 a week. The only manual laborers able to earn Greeley's minimum were blacksmiths and machinists.
Frequent unemployment compounded the problems of the unskilled. In Massachusetts upward of 40 percent of all workers were out of a job for part of a year, usually for four months or more. Fluctuations in demand, inclement weather, interruptions in transportation, technological displacement, fire, injury, and illness all could leave workers jobless.
Typically, a male laborer earned just two-thirds of his family's income. The other third was earned by wives and children. Many married women performed work in the home, such as embroidery and making artificial flowers, tailoring garments, or doing laundry. The wages of children were critical for a family's standard of living. Children under the age of 15 contributed 20 percent of the income of many working-class families. These children worked, not because their parents were heartless, but because children's earnings were absolutely essential to the family's survival.
To provide protection against temporary unemployment, many working-class families scrimped and saved in order to buy a house or maintain a garden. In Newburyport, Massachusetts, many workers bought farm property on the edge of town. On New York City's East Side, many families kept goats and pigs. Ownership of a house was a particularly valuable source of security, since a family could always obtain extra income by taking in boarders and lodgers.

Frantic is book 2 in the Frenzy Series! If you haven't seen Frenzy, I'll add the pic below! This is a unique take on vampires AND zombies and I hope you love it.

The Anniversary of Dark Bishop...Sale & Character Interviews!
Dark Bishop was a thrilling experience. Not only did I get to write with my best friend, I got to write from a male perspective. More specifically, I wrote from the perspective of Jake Bishop. Jake's one of the worst of the bad boys. And he was so FUN to write. This book is not intended for those under the age of eighteen, or for those with triggers that might be offended by adult themes.
Originally, Dark Bishop was published as a serial, five episodes of a whole. Now, with the anniversary edition, you can get the story in one cohesive book! It's exclusively on Amazon, free on prime.
You can get your copy for only 99 cents by clicking HERE!
Would you like to hear from Sydney and Jake? Well, Casey and I conducted a few interviews and here's what they had to say. First, I sat down with sweet, innocent Sydney.
Me: I'm sitting here with Sydney Coder. Sydney has agreed to answer a few questions for us. I know that you're all dying to ask about Jake so let's jump right in. Welcome Sydney.
Sydney: Thank you for having me. I was told Jake is in the other room being interrogated as well.
Me: Casey would never interrogate anyone. Well, maybe a little. So Sydney, what is your perfect Sunday like?
Sydney: I work most Sunday so a day off for starters. If I had the day off, though... hmmm. I guess I would try to explore the city more. New Orleans is a beautiful city, full of life and culture. I would love to see more of it. I don't have a ton of time these days, now that Jake's become a part of my life.
Me: You said that you work most Sundays. What do like most about being a waitress? What do you hate most?
Sydney: What do I like most? I would have to say the money. You can make great money if you're personable. I honestly enjoy taking care of people, I enjoy my job. As for what I like the least, working all the time. I need the money so I don't ask for time off but it feels like I'm always working.
Me: What sorts of relationships have you had in the past? Was there someone special in your life before Jake came along?
Sydney: I've had exactly one boyfriend before and we were both too young to realize what it meant to be dating I think. He was a nice guy, don't get me wrong, but Jake is completely different. There's something special about him. I'm so happy I met him.
Me: If you were to put yourself on Match.com, what would your profile look like? This is just in case you and Jake don't work out of course. Describe yourself for us.
Sydney: Well, I guess I would say that I'm tall and thin, not too tall, but taller than most females. I like to be outdoors. I prefer to wear jeans and a t-shirt over anything fancy. I'm a country girl at heart but I have big dreams. I think it's important to share that because they would need to understand that I have goals in life that I plan on accomplishing. Nothing is going to stop me from getting to Hollywood.
Me: Describe in detail your ideal man.
Sydney: Oooh! Can I describe Jake? (I shake my head at her.) Fine but he's damn near perfect. He would have to be a gentleman. Caring. Funny. Polite. Easy on the eyes. I know that sounds bad but I would need to find him attractive. What else? Oh! He has to be smart and driven. Goals are important. Well, mine are.
Me: Thank you so much Sydney for sitting down with me and talking. Good Luck with everything you have going on. Hopefully you won't need that Match.com profile. Things with Jake seems to be going well so far.
Sydney: Things are great. Thanks so much for having me.
Casey: Thanks for agreeing to speak with me today, Jake.
Jake: *smooths dress jacket and smiles* You’re most welcome, Mrs. Bond. Is it okay if I call you Mrs. Bond?
Casey: As long as you don’t ask if my husband’s name is James, that’s fine.
Casey: Sydney Coder is in the next room being interviewed. What is the nature of your relationship with her?
Jake: *grins* Well…the nature of our relationship is a private matter.
Casey: You don’t want to talk about Miss Coder?
Casey: Fair enough. Let’s touch on some basic information. Describe your perfect woman.
Jake: There are no perfect women, just as there are no perfect men. And it is in the imperfection that beauty is found. It would be boring if everyone was perfect, or the same. So the perfect woman, is every woman.
Casey: *smiles* Good answer. Do you enjoy being an attorney?
Jake: *sighs* Most days my answer would be yes. Some days it is an emphatic no. I’m sure most people feel the same way about their careers.
Casey: Describe yourself, your appearance, etcetera…as if you were listing yourself on a dating website.
Jake: Let me first say that I am not listed on any dating websites. But, my description would say that I’m six feet tall, medium, muscular build, dark hair, green eyes. Successful attorney in the great state of Louisiana. *grins* Enjoys long walks on the beach and beautiful women.
Casey: Are you sure you wouldn’t like to say anything about Sydney Coder?
Jake: *smirks* I am positive.
Casey: Thanks for joining us today, Mr. Bishop.
Jake: The pleasure is all mine.
Be prepared... Dark Bishop is recommended for readers 18 and up due to graphic content. When we say dark, we mean it. Enjoy!

originally, dark bishop was published as a serial, five episodes of a whole. now, with the anniversary edition, you can get the story in one cohesive book! it's exclusively on amazon, free on prime.

would you like to hear from sydney and jake? well, casey and i conducted a few interviews and here's what they had to say. first, i sat down with sweet, innocent sydney.
me: i'm sitting here with sydney coder. sydney has agreed to answer a few questions for us. i know that you're all dying to ask about jake so let's jump right in. welcome sydney.
sydney: thank you for having me. i was told jake is in the other room being interrogated as well.
me: casey would never interrogate anyone. well, maybe a little. so sydney, what is your perfect sunday like?
sydney: i work most sunday so a day off for starters. if i had the day off, though... hmmm. i guess i would try to explore the city more. new orleans is a beautiful city, full of life and culture. i would love to see more of it. i don't have a ton of time these days, now that jake's become a part of my life.
me: you said that you work most sundays. what do like most about being a waitress? what do you hate most?
sydney: what do i like most? i would have to say the money. you can make great money if you're personable. i honestly enjoy taking care of people, i enjoy my job. as for what i like the least, working all the time. i need the money so i don't ask for time off but it feels like i'm always working.
me: what sorts of relationships have you had in the past? was there someone special in your life before jake came along?
sydney: i've had exactly one boyfriend before and we were both too young to realize what it meant to be dating i think. he was a nice guy, don't get me wrong, but jake is completely different. there's something special about him. i'm so happy i met him.
me: if you were to put yourself on match.com, what would your profile look like? this is just in case you and jake don't work out of course. describe yourself for us.
sydney: well, i guess i would say that i'm tall and thin, not too tall, but taller than most females. i like to be outdoors. i prefer to wear jeans and a t-shirt over anything fancy. i'm a country girl at heart but i have big dreams. i think it's important to share that because they would need to understand that i have goals in life that i plan on accomplishing. nothing is going to stop me from getting to hollywood.
me: describe in detail your ideal man.
sydney: oooh! can i describe jake? (i shake my head at her.) fine but he's damn near perfect. he would have to be a gentleman. caring. funny. polite. easy on the eyes. i know that sounds bad but i would need to find him attractive. what else? oh! he has to be smart and driven. goals are important. well, mine are.
me: thank you so much sydney for sitting down with me and talking. good luck with everything you have going on. hopefully you won't need that match.com profile. things with jake seems to be going well so far.
sydney: things are great. thanks so much for having me.
casey: thanks for agreeing to speak with me today, jake.
jake: *smooths dress jacket and smiles* you’re most welcome, mrs. bond. is it okay if i call you mrs. bond?
casey: as long as you don’t ask if my husband’s name is james, that’s fine.
casey: sydney coder is in the next room being interviewed. what is the nature of your relationship with her?
jake: *grins* well…the nature of our relationship is a private matter.
casey: you don’t want to talk about miss coder?
casey: fair enough. let’s touch on some basic information. describe your perfect woman.

Deciding on a wedding photographer can be a little easier than finding some of your other vendors, because the end product is so easily viewable. It goes without saying, but please check out Hannah’s gallery; her photography is absolutely incredible, and we chose her because we loved the all-natural look and beautiful angles of her photos. We wanted to add to what is already obvious if you see her portfolio. Hannah is one of the nicest and most caring people you’ll ever meet. From our initial conversations with her on the phone, through the final picture she took on our wedding day, she was an absolute a delight to work with. She takes genuine interest in getting to know the couple, their story, and telling that story through pictures. We hired Hannah for our engagement shoot first, and we were so impressed at her ability to capture the right lighting, coach us on flattering poses, and center us in beautiful settings and scenery. Hannah didn’t disappoint again on our wedding day. Her experience and professionalism were self-evident, as she efficiently captured numerous permutations for our large family and bridal party, finding beautiful backdrops throughout our venue. Our photo shoots went very smoothly, and we had plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day, which Hannah also captured beautifully. On top of it all, Hannah was very quick in getting our photos back, which was a great bonus. She has a true talent. If you’re going to spend money on your wedding, this is the place to do it. Hannah will capture priceless memories of your special day that you will want to relive again and again, and show all over your house. We couldn’t be happier with our photos; we will cherish them forever. Thank you so much, Hannah!
Tim, thank you so so much!! I loved photographing your and Rachel's gorgeous Charleston wedding and you two are the sweetest. It was so wonderful getting to know you both over your engagement season and I know married life is already off to an amazing start! <3 Can't wait to see you both again!
My husband and I took selecting our photographer as the single most important task for our wedding. We wanted something soft and natural and a bit whimsical without being too edited. I went through so many profiles that were close, but not just right, until I stumbled across Hannah's Instagram page. I'm not even sure how I found it, but I immediately sent it to my then-fiancé and said, "this is her, she's perfect." We chatted a ton via email and had a few video chats to really make us feel comfortable. We signed without a doubt in our minds that she was the perfect fit for us!
A few months later, we had our engagement shoot scheduled. It almost got rained out, but Hannah was so great at communicating and giving her professional opinion on what to do based on the weather. When we did take the photos, she was great! She made both me and my fiancé feel so comfortable when we had never had our photos taken professionally before. The photos are stunning and we both walked away talking about how much fun we had.
Then the wedding came a few months later and Hannah again went above and beyond! She was so helpful and responsive in putting together our timeline and working with us for the shots we wanted. She was my go to for questions and always had answers! On the day of, she arrive on time and ready to rock and roll. She was so friendly and really a great personality and talent to hang out with on our day - getting beautiful pictures was a perk! She captured every moment we wanted and was willing to do whatever it would take to get us picture perfect shots! After the wedding, our guests were even raving about how sweet and unobtrusive and fun she was!
We just got our wedding pictures back and words cannot do them justice. They are so stunning and so amazing that we can't pick out even our top 10! I cannot recommend Hannah enough. Signing with her was one of the best decisions we made and there was absolutely nothing I would change. THANK YOU HANNAH!
Hannah was a god send! She went above and beyond for us and acted as so much more than our photographer! She was so extremely helpful on the day of our wedding (even when it started pouring during our first dance--OUTSIDE). I don't know what I would have done without her! Everyone called her the "MVP" of our wedding and our photos were absolutely beautiful. She captured so many beautiful moments and I could not be more pleased with the outcome of all of our photos. I would recommend her to every single bride out there!!
Hannah is hands down one of the best photographers that you could possibly ask to work with. Her attention to detail, caring personality and fun and unique shots make her a gem in the industry. Take one look at her portfolio and you can tell how much her clients love being on the other side of her lens. I would recommend HannahLane to any bride in a heartbeat!

Legume species nodulate and grow successfully in the Core Cape Subregion, a Mediterranean-climate ecosystem with fynbos vegetation found on infertile soils. The physiological mechanisms enabling tolerance of low availability of phosphorus (P) are yet to be reported in Cape legume species such as Aspalathus linearis and Podalyria calyptrata; species that demonstrated traits typical of plants from nutrient poor soils. In the three research chapters of the thesis, it was anticipated that low P supply would limit plant growth and increase expression of traits for P acquisition.

A narrow road heads south for about 1km and there is a rather unimpressive concrete building to the left and lots of parking space. Was this it? No sign of a cave or temple, although I could see monks robes hanging on the balconies of the building. And a sign said "ถ้ำพญานาครา" .. We drove in and parked, then could see a stairway heading up the cliff.
The stairway was lined with bells. I am never quite sure if I should ring these bells. Best not unless you are sure of the spiritual significance. But I rang some anyway. Hope that is good luck. At the top of this stairway we passed a doorway with a sign saying "Please remove shoes" and found a Buddhist shrine, along with a desk staffed by a young guy (not a monk), a donation box and a table of temple items for sale, and stairways heading up in 2 different directions.
We took the stairs to the left of the shrine heading up the cliffside. No idea how many stairs there would be. Maybe 1,000 plus like the Tiger Cave Temple in Krabi? Luckily not so many!
(above) And up more steps .. not too many really! The whole place is built into the side of the cliff with giant stalactites hanging down and the jungle growing up into the cave. On this higher level you start to get some views across the valley. The floor here has been either tiled in some places or covered with sand in other places.
The path is not long, maybe 100 meters passing a small chedi before you get to the "big view" with another shrine and collection of Buddha statues. Now, this is a view I could sit and admire for a while.
This place is shown on the map as a monastery, or a meditation centre rather than a temple / Wat (วัด) and I think right here is a good place to meditate. And made the trip worthwhile!
At this viewpoint next to the shrine is a wooden bench and a giant snake-like creature, which could maybe be mistaken for a dragon (maybe why some tour companies say 'dragon cave temple'), but this is a Naga, and not just any Naga, this is Paya Naga, the king of the snakes, leading to the name of this temple/cave. The Naga is part of Hindu myth and also Buddhism (which is related to Hinduism). So this is the cave of the king of the snakes.
(above) My daughter with the king of the snakes, Paya Naga.
We walked back and down the steps to the first level again and then up a different stairway into a system of caves which went further back than I wanted to explore due to a very rickety looking bridge which I felt might not hold my weight! Inside the caves were shrines of Buddhist and Hindu origin.
A fascinating and beautiful place. I notice on Google Maps that the small road passing this temple seems to keep going south all the way back to the main Phang Nga - Thap Put road about 5km east of the Dairy Hut Seafood restaurant. A small potentially scenic road that I need to follow one day! Very glad to have found out about Tham Paya Nakarat. Sure you might not drive all the way from Phuket just to visit this one temple, but combined with lunch, visiting Wat Suwan Kuha or Wat Bang Riang (near Thap Put town) and maybe Wat Thamtapan in Phang Nga Town and you have a selection of interesting temples in this small area.

Ever since I first picked up the Dungen Masters Guide over 20 years ago, more often than not, I have been a Dungeon Master.
Being a Dungeon Master is a load of work and I never get to see my characters rise up in the ranks. So why be a Dungeon Master?
To me, building worlds and telling stories is grand entertainment not work. I really enjoy running games with lots of different people and seeing how those players differ wildly in solving the puzzles and riddles, overcoming beasts and monsters, evil villains and myriadother obstacles. As for seeing my character advance, well instead I watch as all the players advance. And I get to be a part of the background story and foundation as to why the characters all end up the way the do.
The real point of a game is to tell a story. As a DM, I write a portion of that story, the context and backdrop where the story will happen. The players, they “write” all their actions and dialogues, choices and reactions to the world I portray through encounters, settings and the people and creatures who populate the world. Between the two we should end up with a grand tale full of dramatic engagements, action and intrigue. That is what makes gaming great entertainment. Even for people who don’t consider themselves “Gamers”.
I have run games in all kinds of systems: D&D, AD&D, Boot Hill, Alternity, Shadowrun and Deadlands to name a few. Recently I began exploring the game system of Numenera by Monty Cook and it is amazing. I favor High Fantasy and Sci-fi but really anything is possible. I could write up a game with your specific input and requests, run a pregenerated module, or run a game completely on-the-fly off the cuff!
Roll up characters at the table or my personal favorite I can provide characters complete with background ready to go.
So what are you waiting for? Roll initiative!

ever since i first picked up the dungen masters guide over 20 years ago, more often than not, i have been a dungeon master.
being a dungeon master is a load of work and i never get to see my characters rise up in the ranks. so why be a dungeon master?
to me, building worlds and telling stories is grand entertainment not work. i really enjoy running games with lots of different people and seeing how those players differ wildly in solving the puzzles and riddles, overcoming beasts and monsters, evil villains and myriadother obstacles. as for seeing my character advance, well instead i watch as all the players advance. and i get to be a part of the background story and foundation as to why the characters all end up the way the do.

Toronto, ON, March 6, 2019 – Food Allergy Canada welcomes the recommendations and “foundational elements” included in the Implementation of National Pharmacare’s interim report released yesterday by Dr. Eric Hoskins and Ministers Bill Morneau and Ginette Pettipas Taylor. These measures, if adopted, will greatly benefit many individuals and families who have children with food allergies and who might not be able to afford an epinephrine auto-injector (e.g. EpiPen®, AUVI-Q®).
Food allergies are a growing public health concern affecting more than 2.6 million Canadians. Given that even a small amount of an allergen, if ingested, could cause a serious allergic reaction and be potentially life-threatening, access to epinephrine auto injectors is essential. In the event of a reaction, research has shown that early administration of this medication can reduce the severity of symptoms and improve an individual’s outcome. Quick access and prompt administration of epinephrine may mean the difference between life and death.
Canadians at risk of an anaphylactic reaction should carry an epinephrine auto-injector with them at all times in case of an emergency. While we are fortunate to live in a country with a strong public health care system, we recognize that there are Canadians who are not covered by a private or public drug plan and may not be able to afford an auto-injector. For those who are covered by a drug plan, issues of deductible costs or annual limits on epinephrine auto-injectors may also cause financial challenges.
In addition to the issue of affordability, Food Allergy Canada looks forward to more details and discussion around the establishment of a national drug agency and national formulary, both of which could influence how Canadians with food allergies learn about, have access to, and afford current and future medications and treatments.
Food Allergy Canada recognizes this is an interim report, and that there are more details to be considered before Canadians enjoy the benefits of comprehensive, portable prescription drug coverage. We will continue to provide our input to the Task Force and work with the Minister of Health on implementation.
“We look forward to a federal drug policy that allows for greater access to epinephrine and any new or emerging therapies and treatments in the future, all of which would greatly help to improve the quality of life for individuals and families living with food allergy,” said Gerdts.

I say 'explaining' because I reckon the effect of vortex generators on aircraft wings was one of those innovations that was 'discovered' first and explained later.
Somewhat like the developement of dimples in golf balls. As I understand it, this came from golfers out on the fairways noticing that well-worn and battered golf balls went farther and truer than the new smooth ones of the day. Then the manufacturers did wind tunnel experiments to determine the best dimpled surface, and finally boffins applied aerodynamic theory to explain what was happening.
It's trully fascinating how such small devices can have such a dramatic effect on the aerodynamics of any wing! They aren't just a 'fix' for a sub-standard wing - they're an aerodynamic enhancement in their own right!
I won't try to explain the theory of how vortex generators do what they do - instead I'll refer you to an article already published that does it better than any I've found. Have a read of 'Vortex Generators: Band-Aids or Magic' by Mike Busch on AVweb. Scroll down to the section "How VGs Work".
This is an effect that I've noticed by experience with video tuft testing VGs in action.
This is a distinctly different effect from the commonly presented ".....retaining the boundary layer...."
In the first video you can see the tufts becoming slightly unstable as the angle of attack increases, then when a stall starts near the root it suddenly 'flashes' out to the rest of the wing, except the outer portion which has VGs applied.
In the second video with VGs along the entire wing, you can see the stall start at the root, then it just advances and retreats hesitantly, never spreading suddenly. And all at a much higher angle of attack than the first video.
The higher angle of attack is due to retaining the boundary layer, but the control of the spread of the stall is due to the 'Rip Stop' effect.
I call this the 'Rip Stop' effect as an analagy to nylon fabric. You'll note that when thin nylon fabric starts to tear, the rip will just zip right across the fabric very easily. So manufacturers add stronger threads about every 6mm, so that they'll stop the rip from progressing.
That appears to be exactly what the VGs do to a spreading stall disruption.
The vortexes seem to 'tie' the aiflow together like the stronger 'rip stop' threads, so that it stays in a coherent 'sheet flow', well attached to the wing surface, rather than allowing a stall disturbance to spread.
It's also important to point out that VGs don't improve a wing.
They just improve the airflow over that wing.
This 'Rip Stop' effect with the VGs, turns the stall from a sudden event that drops a wing, to a progressive event that just becomes gentle 'mush'.
That makes slow landings a lot more controllable and less risky.
The following photograph demonstrates the persistence of the vortexes generated by VGs.
Notice that they track all the way back to the trailing edge, and stay tight to the surface of the wing.
That wing has a layer of chalky unpolished paint, and the vortexes appear to cling so closely that they actually clean the surface.
The wing is on a Jetstream 41, and that's Mt Everest !

If you've noted with alarm the burgeoning '70s fashion trend in store for Spring 2015, you're not alone. From Gucci to Pucci, the '70s were everywhere on the spring runways, and not all who viewed the collections were convinced that of the fashion industry's sanity. However, the FIT Museum's new exhibit, Yves Saint Laurent + Halston: Fashioning the 70s may clarify exactly why neckerchiefs and ponchos are suddenly de rigueur again. The exhibit makes its debut on February 5, Women's Wear Daily reports, and turns an analytical eye on two of the decade's most distinguished designers.
Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the '70s or (American Hustle in their Netflix queue, for that matter) can list a number of the decade's most significant trends — plunging necklines, wide-leg trousers, jumpsuits, an excess of glitter — most of which can be attributed to Saint Laurent and Halston. In addition to a thoughtfully plotted timeline, the FIT Museum also provides an extensive array of roughly 80 swoon-worthy vintage pieces and 20 accessories which are meant to illustrate the manner in which each designer rendered the culture of the '70s. Women's Wear Daily's Bridget Foley astutely notes that while Saint Laurent and Halston created incredibly divergent aesthetics, there are parallels which become evident on viewing the exhibit. Key pieces include Saint Laurent's state-of-the-art Rive Gauche Le Smoking tuxedo, Halston's revolutionary shirt dress, and Halston's cream-colored sequined halter gown with its daringly dipped neckline. Both utilitarianism and luxury were in high demand during the decade, and could be found for the first time in the same pieces.
For fashion buffs, the exhibit provides an excellent opportunity to indulge in a bit of sartorial history and examine the decade's most breathtaking creations. And for those who find 2015's return to '70s fashion a painful and nonsensical fad, the exhibit will offer some measure of much-needed clarity. After a quick visit to the FIT Museum, you may even find yourself with an all-consuming craving for printed jumpsuits and suede mini skirts.

Ladies and gentleman, may we introduce Dax Shepard, feature film writer/director. The star of Idiocracy and Zathura has written and co-directed Brother’s Justice, a mockumentary in which he also stars as himself, shopping around a movie pitch in which he’ll play a martial arts action star. Featuring Tom Arnold, Jon Favreau, Ashton Kutcher and Bradley Cooper, the film is currently on the festival circuit and seeking distribution. Check out the trailer after the jump.
As a fan of films filled with inside Hollywood jokes, I think Brother’s Justice certainly has potential. If Shepard and co-director David Palmer are able to blend biting cultural commentary with the obvious physical goofs that the premise lends itself too, there’s no reason the film can’t be a hilarious exercise in meta.
What I find more fascinating, though, is how this film is another example of the cultural significance of Punk’d. In recent years, Ashton Kutcher’s MTV show has turned into a punchline, but it certainly was an incredible Hollywood springboard. B.J. Novak, for example, went from the candid camera show to writing and executive producing The Office and starring in Inglourious Basterds. Ryan Pinkston turned it into a nice little career with roles in Spy Kids 3D, Bad Santa and a bunch of TV. Shepard, however, was the breakout star, using the show to acquire starring roles in Idiocracy, Zathura, Employee of the Month and he even married his When In Rome co-star, Veronica Mars herself, Kristin Bell. He’s currently on the NBC show Parenthood.
And now he’s used all of those connection to make his own movie. And whether or not the film is good, the fact remains, the guy made a movie. You’ve got to give him respect for that, right?
What do you make of this trailer? Does it make you want to see it or do you feel the mockumentary genre is totally played out?
