A collective of freelancers from diverse scientific, artistic and cultural backgrounds: ranging from designers, cinematographers to engineers and programmers, yet united under the study of Digital Media. Equipped with broad range of expertise and skills each one of us is finding a way to participate in the fast-paced digital era. After being exposed as individuals and as group to different applications, participating and exhibiting projects in different academic events, we began to apprehend and sense the immense possibilities still to be explored. Investigating the area of moving image and narration, we came closer to serving research in a domain of passion; cinema.
At that point we built enough dedication and enthusiasm to put all knowledge, ideas and knacks to combine art, science and passion in one line of research. Our analysis is at its genesis, therefore to maintain its fair continuity there is always a necessity to share and receive concepts and viewpoints.


8mm takes "noir" literally
8mm A Film Review By Michael Redman Copyright 1999 By Michael Redman
*** (Out of ****)
People do weird stuff. This is one of the few indisputable facts about human beings.
 Your son's teacher dresses in an outlandish costume and screams with a frantic rock and roll band. Your waiter is preparing for the end of civilization. No matter where you are, some of your neighbors are involved in practices most people would consider bizarre if they only knew about them.

Most of these are harmless. Some are even beneficial. But then, there's that rich industrialist on the other side of town who's making snuff films.
Private investigator Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage) runs into that situation when a wealthy just-widowed woman hires him. She's found a reel of film in her husband's secret safe that seemingly depicts the actual killing of a young girl. She wants to know if it's real and what it's doing there.
This begins Tom's journey into the seamy world of hard-core fetish porn. He hires Max California (Joaquin Phoenix), an adult bookstore clerk who reads Norman Mailer hidden behind an X-rated novel, as a guide through the strange land.
Snuff films are the urban legend of pornography. Extreme S&M movies, they end with the authentic death of one of the participants. Rumored to exist for decades, not a single genuine example has ever been found. The one Tom is investigating appears to be the real McCoy.
Each stop on the tour of the grotesque takes him one step closer to the producers of the depravity. And one step closer to total obsession with avenging the girl he's never met. Even after learning of the extreme danger he's in, he can't give up the case.
Director Joel Schumacher takes the term "noir" literally. Not only is this a very gloomy story, it's an extremely dark screen. The predominate color in every scene is black. At times the dimly lighted film resembles the garish grainy film stock of its title.
Although his life with his wife and infant daughter presumably illustrate Tom's "normal" side, you wouldn't be surprised to find Hannibal Lecter behind the bedroom door. Like the rest of the film, even Tom calmly raking leaves in his front yard feels creepy.
His supposedly loving relationship with his wife is an odd one. He limps in bleeding from a head wound, having narrowly escaped being murdered, and her first reaction is "How can you treat me like this?" If his home life is Tom's reason to live, it's no wonder he spends most of his time at work.
The highly stylized episodes searching for the killers fare better. When Tom and Max voyage into the underground basement flea market of vendors selling "Way beyond XXX" wares, the scenes could have come from Fellini's "Satyricon". There's so much going on that it's difficult to take it all in.
When the investigator finally tracks down the director of the film in a decrepit warehouse, the images are some of the most disturbing since "Blue Velvet". This is not a "feel-good" movie. It may even define the tiny genre of "anti-date film".
As well-crafted as the visuals are, the film has some problems. Tom's character isn't very defined and some of his actions seem out of place. For some reason, there are two different times where the suspense depends upon him straining to get to a gun out of reach.
Cage is well-casted as the placid detective with obsession just below the surface. He has a reputation for playing offbeat characters and can add Tom to the list. It's certainly not one of his more recent action hero roles.
Phoenix adds a needed comedic touch to a film that otherwise might have drowned in its own bleakness. James Gandolfini and Peter Stormare are stand-outs as the vile but fascinating smut producers. Watching them is like driving by the proverbial car wreck.
I don't think I'll ever want to see this film again.  It is worth a viewing if you want to deal with it. Sometimes art isn't pretty.

To Create, You Must De-Story
To Create, You Must De-story
In this weekly series, I opine on how language and content affect the way we understand the products and services around us. I do this for your entertainment and education (and, of course, to remind you that if you’re looking for a freelance copy, content, product, or technical writer… yada yada, hire me).
I have a shameful confession to make.
As a person working in the tech biz, I’ve grown complacent and numb in the wanton reappropriation and reinvention of certain words.
I, like my contemporaries, draw shamelessly from a shared lexicon of sad terms and turns of phrase that permeate the walls of our opulent open-concept offices.
I’ve taken things offline. I’ve circled back. I’ve sidebar’d. I’ve huddled. I’ve even run things up the flagpole to ensure we’ve got buy-in and that all of the stakeholders are heard. I’ve aligned on action items, I’ve collab’d on board decks, and I’ve post-mortem’d more punted OKRs than there are agile coaches who’ve missed stand-ups to host grooming sessions. I even CICD with the best of them.
And while I won’t make myself a hypocrite in criticizing that use of language, there is one loaded word I’ve simply had enough of. Every time I hear it, I erupt into a volcano of opinion and conjecture and angst. Where it used to inspire, it now serves only to irritate, instigate, and infuriate me.
I’m talking about the word “story”.
Wait, What Are We Talking About?
If you’re in the software world, or you’ve watched the first season of Silicon Valley, you probably know what I’m talking about when I say “story”.
For everyone else, here’s the gist.
Not that long ago, software projects were predominantly managed like complex construction projects.
The basic manifest for the project would be established, and bit by bit a complete plan would be built: architecture, blueprints, timelines, budgets, contractors, sub-contractors, and, finally, the beautiful Gantt chart.
The Gantt chart in every way epitomizes this type of build-out: it depicts sequential, descending blocks of dependencies across a timeline which represents each of the major phases, and contributors, of the project.
As a critical artifact of the project, the Gantt chart’s flowing top-to-bottom cascade is the suitable visualization of the project management style aptly named “waterfall”.
Yet, building buildings is hard and takes a long time. That’s largely because missteps in the project can be incredibly dangerous, not just to financers but to human lives, as well.
With that in mind, waterfall in the context of construction makes a lot of sense: its command and control model, with the big design up front, saves not just time but money and potentially lives.
But an app is not a building, and managing software projects with that approach often instead results in other big problems — namely, launching a product into a market that has moved onto another app in the two years it took you to build it.
Avoiding this outcome was the goal of the alternate and more oft-referenced project management approaches of “agile” and “lean”. These methods focus on moving quickly, designing on-the-fly, and applying the scientific method to guess, test, and learn fast.
What Are You On About?
And so we come back to the “story”.
In many ways, the story is as emblematic of agile and lean as the Gantt chart is of waterfall.
A story is quite often the primary “blueprint” of agile development. It is meant to be a concise written summary of a specific user, a specific job to be done, and a specific set of acceptance criteria which encapsulate what the user must be able to accomplish with the software.
Sometimes, stories include mock-ups of a workflow. Sometimes, stories include technical details or test cases or edge scenarios. Sometimes, they may even include other details, like how a user will hear out about the new capability or how much money it will make the company building it.
As those “sometimes” become “all the times”, though, the original monicker of “story” is now quite deceiving.
Whereas the story first began life rooted in telling a simple “story” of a user’s goal, it has evolved into what it was never meant to be: a fully fleshed-out, detailed, bulletproofed, exacting specification.
What Happens
With this shift in the spirit of a story, our “agile” and “lean” processes tend to be more so just that in theory than in practice.
As our companies grow, as roles become more specialized, as we add designers and testers, dev-ops pipers and compliance officers, our stories bloat further.
We start to have approval processes for our stories or, worse yet, parts of our stories.  The “best” of us test our specification-heavy stories with interviews and discussions and debates.
But what is lost consequentially in this process of returning to a more waterfall-like approach to building software is exactly what was shed deliberately with the waterfall process itself: speed to market.
As though they were complex blueprints, we now spend tons of upfront time obsessing over the act of researching in a vacuum, poring over our insights and our sticky notes and our internal battles of bravado and buy-in.
In doing so, what we allegedly save in developer dollars we instead waste in time spent not learning in the real world. That costs our companies far more in the long run.
The Result
A Stanford University paper published in the journal Science found that publication bias in sciences is increasingly widespread. In other words, even scientists today tend to work on, value, and discuss experiments manufactured to succeed.
Many in the tech industry have developed our own “production bias”: we lean towards only shipping to production things we know will work — or, rather, things we think we know will work.
We seem to no longer apply the most fundamental principle of scientific theory: experimentation with raw materials, in the real world, with real consequences and real learning.
And you know what? We still produce bugs. We still build features no one uses or features used in ways we didn’t intend.
Rather, we argue about the design patterns of tables and lists. We argue based on one phone call or one screen share. We argue about “might nots” and “probably shouldn’ts”.
We argue out of motivation for that pat on the back from our CEO or terse commendation from our board or claps from our modest Medium audiences.
We argue for ourselves, not our customers: for what we want or what we think they want. We argue to be the one in the room who is “right”.
And through the glass of the white-boarded rooms in which we throw up our hands and lift our voices in the argument passes the very market we argue to serve.
The Takeaway
One of the truly amazing advantages that software enjoys over other types of products is one we seem to so seldom use to its fullest: the ability to split-test after we ship.
We have this incredible power given to us by technology: we can with but a modicum of engineering effort show a part our product to only a small fraction of our customer base.
We can experiment with raw materials, with real customers and real data. And yes, our changes may wind up being the vinegar to our customer’s baking soda; they may spill out of our beakers and make a mess on the floor.
But for those of us not designing MRI machines and guns, we should strive to make a mess from time to time if it helps us find the right solution faster.
That was the whole premise of “fail fast” in the first place.
We should be spending less time writing design specs and conducting wireframe-clad interviews and more on making informed assumptions, shipping software, and testing in the real world.
In other words, to create we must de-story.
TL;DR
Stories are a great tool for quickly encapsulating a user need and a job to be done, but they shouldn’t become exhaustive specs.
Do the homework to understand the user’s job and the underlying pain, but then build and ship something to at least a few real users in the real world in your real product.
Believe me: those users will tell you what you need to build, and how, faster than your product owners and designers will figure out what works and what doesn’t.
What about you? Any lessons you’ve drawn from this? Respond away. And if you’d like to learn more about me or my business, visit www.frankcaron.com.

New case of vaping-related illness in Quebec brings national total to 8
by The Canadian PressMONTREAL — Quebec's Health Department is confirming the province's third case of severe lung illness related to vaping.
Department spokeswoman Noemie Vanheuverzwijn said Friday the latest case was reported in Quebec's Outaouais region, adding that Health Canada has been notified.
She says the person who fell ill consumed a legal nicotine vaping product, as did the two other Quebecers, both from Montreal, who developed severe lung illness related to vaping.
As of Nov. 12, federal health authorities reported an additional five probable cases of severe lung illness related to vaping in the country -- two in New Brunswick and three in British Columbia.
A spokesman for Quebec Health Minister Danielle McCann says the minister is following the situation closely and is considering tightening the rules around vaping products.
McCann's office says authorities are working on a protocol for reporting cases of pulmonary disease related to vaping.

Lesson 1.1: The basic of Web and HTML
How does the Internet work?
There are three components as to how an individual interacts with the internet:
- The computer/Browser: A program that allows your computer to display files found on the web
- The internet: The world's largest network (often described as a cloud)
- Servers: Computers that host the files that make up the web
All of these are interconnected by HTML (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). This video explains this well.
Each file, or web page is a text document written in HTML, HyperText Markup Language. Browsers will in turn interpret HTML. This is made up of:
- Text content
- Mark up
- Reference to other documents, eg. videos, images,...
- Links
HTML Vocabulary
In order for the computer to understand the language one uses coding. Three key terms where presented during the introductory class.
- HTML Tags:is always contained within angled brackets and are composed of an opening tag and a closing tag. Though they are invisible on the Web page they are key. It is always contained within angled brackets. When they
do not have a closing tag they are are called a void tag. This applies to images or line breaks.
- HTML Element: Is what is called all that is between the HTML tags.
- HTML Attibute: This is a property of an HTML element, and is expressed inbetween brackets as href.For example, to set the href attribute of an anchor tag to the Udacity URL.
Inline vs. Block
An
inline tag groups content but not in box. Examples of such tags are:
- b: bold
- em: emphasis (italics)
- br: break
- strong
- image (img)
- span
A
block not only groups content, but also makes an invisible box around it, examples are:
Lets take a closer look at
"span" and
"div" elements.These help to give more structure and create richer texts, but are different. By this I mean, that
a span element is in-line and usually used for a small chunk of HTML
inside a line (such as inside a paragraph) whereas
a div (division) element is block-line (which is basically equivalent to having a line-break before and after it) and used to group larger chunks of code.
The structure of a HTML document
- Step 1 - Type of document
- Step 2 - Title of document including meta-data (java script, CSS,)
- Step 3 - Body, includes content
- Step 4 - End
Lesson 1.2.: Creating a structured document
Languages of the web
HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the three languages of web developers and the web. Each have a different purpose.
- HTML controls the "structure" of a web a page. Note that they have a tree-like structure. When programmers talk about the DOM (Document Object Model) they are referring to the tree-lie structure of a web page. HTML is governed by syntax
and rules.
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) controls the "style of a web page.
The relationship between indented HTML and boxes
When you read an HTML document as text, you see a what looks like "staircase" of from left to right. The more indented an element is, the more deeply nested its corresponding "box" is. Related not of importance a webpage is made up of numerous boxes.
Text Editors (for programming)
When writing code, programmers use special text editors (like Sublime Text, Scratchpad or CodePen). These editors make the programmer's life easier. For example, some text editors will automatically generate a closing HTML tag when you write an opening
tag.
The Inheritance principle
Inheritance is when an object or class is based on another object or class, using the same implementation (inheriting from a class) specifying implementation to maintain the same behavior (realizing an interface; inheriting behavior).
Lesson 1.3: Adding CSS style and HTML Structure
The C in CSS is by far the most important part of this phrase, as you can have several sheets in one HTML document.
But how does CSS work? When coding CSS you start with a selector, for example h3. After the selector there is a left curly brace { and at the bottom there is a matching right curly brace }. Everything between these curly braces
will be interpreted as a "rule" that should be applied to every element of chosen selector.
Line with this, the Line of code that says that says background-color:black; is a declaration. "Background-color" is a property and "black" is the value of that property.
How to include CSS in your webpage
There are three different methods to include CSS in your webpage.
- Method 1: write CSS in the head section of your HTML
- Method 2: Link your HTML to a separate CSS file by creating two separate documents, one for HTML and the other for CSS. These are then linked together by using a link tag (note that this is a void tag).
- Method 3: Write your style inline with your HTML this is more complex and little confusing. However it is often used so important keep in mind.
Using semantic tags
Header tags can be used as one would use header in Microsoft word.
The Box Model
As mentioned above, each HTML element on a web page is made up of four boxes or components. Each box is made up of the following (see figure 1):
- Margin
- Border
- Padding
- Content
As there are so many components to each box, it can be often difficult to get the size of box as you want it. There are two techniques to deal with this:
- Set sizes in terms of percentage rather than pixels.
- Set the box-sizing attribute to border-box for ever element.
Note that browsers work differently, this may cause one browser to display something else than coded.
Box positioning
As said in lesson 1.1 divs are block elements (as opposed to inline elements), so by default they take up the entire width of a webpage. This as such can make things difficult if you want to reposition a "box".
Thankfully, by adding the rule in CSS element "display:flex;", the CSS will override the static box behaivour and let the divs appear next to each other. This is called the FlexBox layout.
Remember Mantra when coding: Code, Test, Refine!
This is important to apply in the thought and implementation of coding:
- Look for natural boxes>
- Look for repeated styles and semantic elements
- Write your HTML
- Apply styles
- Fix what needs to be!
Thinking like a programmer
A key part of this course is to learn to think like a programmer. Five guiding principles for this are:
- Procedural thinking: involves creating perfectly clear and unambiguous instructions for a computer to follow.
- Abstract thinking: finding similarity, or as programmers would say, generality amongst seemingly different things.
- Systematic debugging:systematic process of relentlessly identifying the cause of a computer program that doesn't work.
- Technological empathy:understand what a computer is, how it works and what it's good and bad at doing.
- Systems thinking: break a big problem down into smaller pieces. Programmers do this when they create a plan (often on paper) for how a program will work. It involves big-picture thinking and decision-making about a problem and how different
pieces of a program can work together to solve it.
Don't Repeat Yourself!
Another key aspect of coding is to avoid repetition or to copy/paste code. As this may lead to numerous errors. This is the so-called "Don't Repeat Yourself" principle in which each knowledge must have a single representation within a system.
If this is applied correctly, a modification of any single element of a system does not require a change in other logically unrelated elements. Additionally, elements that are logically related all change predictably and uniformly

Our Cosmic Neighborhood From our small world we have gazed upon the cosmic ocean for thousands of years. Ancient astronomers observed points of light that appeared to move among the stars. They called these objects "planets," meaning wanderers, and named them after Roman deities—Jupiter, king of the gods; Mars, the god of war; Venus, the goddes of love and beauty, and Saturn, father of Jupiter and god of agriculture. The stargazers also observed comets with sparkling tails, and meteors or shooting stars apparently falling from the sky. Since the invention of the telescope, three more planets have been discovered in our solar system: Uranus (1781), Neptune (1846), and, now downgraded to a dwarf planet, Pluto (1930). In addition, there are thousands of asteroids and comets. Most of the asteroids orbit in a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, while the home of comets lies far beyond the orbit of Pluto, in the Oort Cloud.


The representations we provide to machines are meaningful but the meanings are exogenous, they live in our heads, not in the minds of machines. The Robot Baby project develops algorithms for robots to learn representations that are meaningful to them. As meanings must ground out in the time-series data provided to the robot from its sensors, the talk will ask what kinds of meanings can be learned by a robot and whether they are sufficient for learning human language.

reLuxe Round Up - March 21, 2015
by Tasha
We’ve Got Kids!
Part 1 – Birth and Death
After 148 days of anxiously waiting and preparing myself for goat birthing - on March 3, Phoebe snuck off and quietly had her babies without me. I went to the barn to find her and saw three perfect mini goats standing in the middle of the kidding stall. Mama was still cleaning up the last one.
Then I noticed a fourth one on the floor. I tried clearing it’s mouth and nose to get it breathing, but the baby could not be revived. As a new goat keeper, I was upset by the loss, but after consulting our wonderful vet, Jim Adams (veterinarian, adventurer, consultant), I have accepted that loss is an inevitable part of goat breeding. Phoebe was fertile when Pythagoras did his magic, so she made four babies. But in reality, her body is better suited to bringing two babies (or at best three) to maturity. And at least now we know why Phoebe looked like a dirigible for the last two months…
Phoebes’ three surviving babies are robust, good-natured goats. La Bandida, the girl (shown pouncing on her sleeping brothers below), looks like a little raccoon and loves to cuddle. She’s also our maverick - first at everything and just as tough as the boys. The boys are as gentle and sweet as can be, often pawing at your legs to be picked up and snuggled.
Fancy gave us fair warning on her “labor day.” In the morning on March 7th, she “told us” with a series of alarmed bleats that the babies were coming. Pye kept trying to mate her like she was “in season” and Phoebe kept sniffing at her with concern. Fancy told them both to get away with furious head butts. Until then, I had (naively) thought that Fancy and Phoebe could harmoniously share one large kidding stall, but Fancy made very clear that she needed a private suite. I stacked up some straw bales to split the stall in half.
After her “room” was ready Fancy settled down for several hours of labored breathing. Around 1:45, she gave her first labor scream (distinctly different from her earlier warning bleats). I sat in the straw next to her, petting her favorite spots and hand-feeding her treats. A few minutes later, she screamed again, got up, turned around and pointed her rear-end into the corner, and started pushing out a baby. It took about three pushes for half of the body to be out, then there was a short wait before the rest of the body followed. As soon as the baby was out, Fancy went to work cleaning up the “slime”. A few minutes later round two followed pretty much the same routine.
By round three, Fancy seemed over it. The baby hung half way out for several minutes before finally dropping to the ground. Fancy just kept cleaning up the other two, ignoring the goat attached to her rear. Once the baby was out, I used a clean towel to clear his nose and mouth and made sure he was breathing until Fancy could get to him. If it had been a cold day, I would have dried him off, but it was 65 degrees, so I let nature take its course. The third baby cried out and Fancy replied with a clear command. They repeated this conversation a couple times, then the baby boy stood up, shook himself loose from the after-birth, and walked (seriously) around to Fancy’s head so she could clean him. All three babies nursed right away and wobbled around getting their solid-ground legs.
Fancy’s little girl (shown nose to nose with her mama above) was born runty. I watched to make sure she ate as often as the other goats. She seemed to be eating fine and was energetic. She was less coordinated than her brothers, did not like to be held, and screamed like a banshee when separated from her mama. But she seemed healthy. The evening of March 10th, I noticed “monkey” - as I’d been calling her - was sleeping while the other babies played. I picked her up and she just laid in my lap without crying. That’s when I knew something was wrong. I stood her up. She stood still for a few minutes than laid back down. I did that a few more times with the same result. I bottle fed her twice that night before bed. I planned to take her to the vet the next morning if there was no improvement. When I opened the goat barn at 7:00 AM, she had already passed away.
Her loss was harder to take because we held her and watched her play. Although we don’t know for sure, she was likely not coordinated enough to get as much milk as she needed on her own. So over her few days of life, she became malnourished. There was no more than 16 hours between the deterioration in her condition and her passing. I thought a bit of bottle feeding would fix her up, but it wasn’t enough. If we have a runt again, I will supplement bottle feed the kid from birth.
The two boys are strapping blue-eyed beasts with Pye’s good body structure and Fancy’s elegant beauty.
Part 2 - Goat Growth
Goats kids mature fast. On day 1 they walk, nurse, and sleep. On day 2 they run and jump. By day 3, except when they nap, they have a constant goat dancing party. They jump straight up in the air like goat pogo sticks. They lock heads and run around in circles until one of them falls over dizzy. They try to mount each others’ sides, heads, rears, and fall over each other when they overshoot. They start eating a piece of two of timothy grass when their mamas eat. It’s incredible to see.
They also start growing horns. So, last Friday, March 13, we “disbudded” them - burned the just-forming horn buds from their skulls.
Yep - it’s as bad as it sounds. I planned to do this on my own, but after losing two kids in less than a week, my confidence was shaken. So, I loaded our five kids up in two laundry baskets in the back of my Honda Fit and drove them over to see Dr. Jim. His assistant shaved a patch of hair on their necks so he could see their carotid artery and Jim gave them an injection of anesthesia.  Jim and I then took each kid outside to a hot iron and did the deed. (You do this outside because the smell is horrendous.) Jim demonstrated the process on the first three kids and I used my newly learned skills on the last two.
The babies were only separated from their mamas for just over an hour. For the couple hours they were under, they were like rag dolls with no muscle control. A few of them had their mouths open and their tongues out which looked really creepy. Seeing the goats in this floppy state was the most disturbing part of the procedure for me, but other than being whiny and groggy when they woke-up, there were no lasting effects from anesthesia. They all had swollen eyelids from the damage to their skulls. La Bandida - Phoebe’s girl - had one eye swollen completely shut. This is normal. Within 24 hours the swelling was gone and goats were tentatively bumping heads again.
Why would I subject our babies to this? Because goats butt heads with each other constantly. If I let their horn buds grow into horns, they could seriously hurt each other or the people around them. Horns have their place. If we were raising goats in open pasture and were not in constant contact with them, we might leave their horns for protection. But these are dairy goats, kept next to our house, so disbudding was necessary for us. Doing this as soon as the buds are obvious (around two weeks old or less) is easiest. The longer you wait, the bigger the buds, and the more damage you do when removing buds.
Now the kids have peach fuzz growing over their burned areas and they butt their imaginary horns together without hesitation. They’ve started taking short goat walks with us. We’re quite the posse - three grown goats, five baby goats, a host of chickens, and Honey and me.
Next up for goat boys - castration. But we’ve still got a few weeks before we have to tackle that…
Bring Home the Bacon
We’re bringing home the bacon… and the sausage… and the Boston pork butts…. We bought four Yorkshire piglets to pick up in mid-April and fatten up for fall butchering. Matt and I are both animal lovers and we are also meat eaters of “happy meat,” i.e., ethically and humanely raised on pasture, in fresh air, on farms we can visit. Now, the reLuxe Ranch will be one of those farms and we’ll get to learn first-hand about the life cycle of our own happy meat.
Mushroom Madness
Matt and I took a road trip to Easley, SC last Saturday to visit Tradd Cotter’s Mushroom Mountain farm. Tradd’s got lots of cool things going on in his lab related to mycelium-based pest control and medical remedies (e.g. a personally tailored cure for strep throat). While there, we picked up some winecap mushroom spawn and a new idea for how to use red wrigglers for compsting (more on that in the future).
On the way home, we stopped to have lunch at Bacon Brothers in Greenville. It’s a gem of a restaurant with an emphasis on farm-to-table food and preparing their own cured meats.
2015 Snow Siege - A Readiness Recap
Let me start by saying - we are not “preppers.” We don’t have a year’s supply of food and water in a bug-out bunker on our property (and we never will). But given that certain environmental factors have already been put into play, record breaking weather events are likely to continue to be the new norm for the foreseeable future. So, some preparation is not crazy, it’s just smart. Our unexpected 10-day snow siege at the end of February gave us a good opportunity to assess our readiness and set-up strategies to be better prepared in the future.
Here are some highlights:
-
Our front porch was a bit…rustic (read: rickety).  He spent about 10 hours buying supplies, scaffolding up the roof, and replacing some of the wood joists and beams to ensure the porch didn’t fall down on us. Just as he tightened the last of the bolts and took down his scaffolding, the snow started piling up. Would the roof have held without improvements? Probably, but why risk it? Better to weatherproof your property before the storm than to be sorry later. Chickens can walk in deep snow, but they didn’t seem to know that. They spent three days afraid to leave their open coop and squabbling over space since they aren’t normally confined. I finally got smart and cleared an area around their house and scattered some corn to lure them out. This relieved tensions and got the chickens more comfortable with snow. By the second storm, they braved the white sea eagerly. Who knew that you’d need to train chickens to snow walk?
-
Ducks can barely walk in snow. They have wide flat feet and short legs, so with six inches of snow, they were exhausting themselves to take a few steps. They could not make it to the spring where they normally drink when their pond freezes, so I filled my watering can with hot tap water and poured it into their bowl several times a day. I could have dug them a path to the spring, but I wanted to see how they weathered the snow as well. Other than being bored and dirty, the ducks managed just fine in prolonged cold. They sure were happy when their pond thawed though!
-
The goats were my close call. With two pregnant does weeks away from kidding, I seriously mis-calculated their food needs. Part of their daily diet is forage, even in winter. With the ground covered in snow, they only had access to pine needles and those are more of a garnish in their diet. Basically, with the girl’s increasing appetites and no good forage, their food supply dwindled quickly. We made it out before they ran out, but I will keep more food on hand in winter in the future.
-
Cats, dog, and people all had plenty. We had to ration our half & half and sour cream after the first week, but we made it work. I was very glad that I keep us so well stocked in luxury goods (coffee, tea, butter, wine, bacon…) because we managed to survive being stuck in the house for ten days without killing each other.
-
ALWAYS hide dad’s car keys before a storm. He managed to get his car stuck in the snow twice. The first time he nearly slid into the pond trying to get up the driveway. The second time we parked his car at the top of the drive, and when he came back from town, he tried to come down and got stuck half-way down.

Love's Labour's Lost **1/2 Rated PG Miramax Films 95 minutes starring Kenneth Branagh, Nathan Lane, Adrian Lester, Matthew Lillard, Natascha McElhone, Alessandro Nivola, Alicia Silverstone, Timothy Spall
based on the play by William Shakespeare written and directed by Kenneth Branagh
A Review by Akiva Gottlieb
To many fans of modern cinema, the name Kenneth Branagh is synonymous with Shakespeare, and rightly so. He has adapted the Bard's work in the films `Henry V', `Much Ado About Nothing' and `Hamlet' (which is widely considered to be the finest of many film versions of the play), and enjoyed major success with each. His devotees claim that Branagh is the only working filmmaker who truly understands Shakespeare, presenting it in a form that is simultaneously creative and faithful. I wonder what those folks will think of his latest foray into the Bard's creative genius, the amusing yet forgettable musical treatment of `Love's Labour's Lost'.
Shakespeare's play has been moved to the 1930's, on the heels of World War II, in fair Navarre. Four eligible bachelors, Berowne (Kenneth Branagh), Dumaine (Adrian Lester), Longeville (Matthew Lillard) and the King himself (Alessandro Nivola) have sworn off women and fine food in order to devote three years to the study of philosophy. But a diplomatic visit from the Princess of France (Alicia Silverstone) and her three beautiful attendants soon attempts to disprove the men's belief that they can live without love.
Each man, unbeknownst to the others, carefully breaks the pact and woos one of the women, setting off some genuinely Shakespearean wordplay and visual comedy. The main difference is that, in this production, the characters break into song at random moments of glee.
Branagh's decision, to make `Love's Labour's Lost' in the style of a 1930's musical (with classic songs by George Gershwin and Irving Berlin), is surely a welcome one, considering the lowly status of the modern movie musical. However, while the choreography and singing are top-notch (all the actors recorded the songs using their own voices, and did all the dancing as well), only a couple of the musical interludes add to the story. It is as if the characters are so bored with the material that they choose their own agenda.
This we should be thankful for, as the dramatic side of Branagh's film is underdeveloped. Shakespeare's characters often referred to women as the `weaker vessels', and this production does little to disprove that theory. Alicia Silverstone, attempting some kind of dramatic comeback, is severely miscast, showing Valley-girl type problems with her lines, and her three female companions fail to make any kind of impression. As a result, parts of the 95-minute running time drag, since the romance in `Love' is what's truly lost.
However, this comedy still has a lot going for it. The story is lighter than a feather, and the film's all-around joyfulness makes it a breath of fresh air, especially in the wake of recent angst-ridden Bard adaptations like Michael Almereyda's Gen-X `Hamlet'. Also, while `Love's Labour's Lost' retains much of Shakespeare's original language, it is relatively easy-to-follow and enjoy, the story being as straightforward as it is.
Kenneth Branagh's `Love's Labour's Lost' is certainly an intriguing project; one that refreshingly lacks the cynicism found in his earlier films. Sadly, though, it will not reinvent the movie musical, nor reinvigorate the work of Shakespeare. However, it's still more fun than you're likely to find in the multiplex.

Roland XP-50 Cleanup
In the late 90’s I had a few keyboard lessons with John Loose, centred around learning Billy Taylor’s “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free”. I brought a Roland XP-50 Music Workstation to play as my existing Yamaha PSS 680 had rubbish mini keys. It spent most of its subsequent life in the loft, though had a brief reprise when our daughter Keziah decided to learn Piano. I’ve just dusted it down to use for ear training pitch checking and a little tinkling with backing tracks for when I get back to bass.
After 40 years the internal battery was on it’s last legs, though seem to be just about working. Given the age there’s the usual risk of leaking electrolytic capacitors warranting an inspection. Plus there’s a few years of fluff to clear out.
The Roland XP-50 musical workstation was released in the mid 90’s, consisting of a JV-1080 sound module, a MRC Pro sequencer and a 61 key synth-style keyboard plus other controllers. I think I paid about £800 and they still appear on ebay for around £300 so was a good investment (as my tutor told me it would be).
The XP-50 Music Workstation is a powerful new instrument based on a 32-bit RISC processor with 8 Mb ROM waveforms. It is 64 note polyphonic, 16 part multitimbral, GM compatible, and contains 512 Preset Patches and 128 User Patches. Up to four SR-JV80 Wave Expansion boards can be installed, providing up to 40 Mb and 1,660 Patches. The XP-50 also includes Reverb, Chorus, and 40 other effects including Rotary, Distortion, Flanging, Phasing, and MultiTap Delays. Its MRC-Pro Sequencer features 16 Track linear and loop recording, plus 100 Patterns, real time nondestructive editing, event editing, and Direct from Disk song playback. The XP-50's Realtime Phrase Sequencer (RPS) allows recorded Patterns to be triggered from specific keys
The voices are Roland’s sample + subtractive synthesis which produces some great sounds. They were top of thir game then with many sounds being designed by Eric Persing. Some are definitely of the period having a strong techno feel. Expansion boards are available though I have none.
It uses Midi internally to connect the three components and also has comprehensive external MIDI support. Sadly, it uses 3.5 inch floppy disks for storage and I managed to throw out the demos discs with all my old redundant floppys and drives. Maybe MIDI sysex can be used or some sort of drive emulator might be available, Else saving and loading files is going to be difficult.
Decoding the XP-50’s serial number it appears it was made in Dec. 97. It has CPU version 1.01 and ROM firmware 1.03 but I don’t intend to look for firmware updates. Though it appears an update floppy might be available.
The strip down was easy enough. Just 24 self tapping screws on the bottom to remove enabling it to be lifted off, giving access. I was greeted by a long overdue sight of a couple of TTL logic ICs, which brought back memories of breadboarding circuits. I no longer have a can of compressed air for cleaning but it was not that bad and a good old fashioned blow and a brush shifted the worse muck. I decided not to strip the keys down as could clean them externally and didn’t want to risk causing playing problems. The keyboard feels OK if not brilliant and is velocity sensitive with after touch.
I popped in a new 2032 battery, the kind used in PC motherboards, and thankfully could find no leaking caps. There is a slight 100Hz-ish noise from the power supply, almost certainly transformer core lamination buzz. It’s only just noticeable though in a quiet room so not anything to fix .
After screwing the base back on a final wipe down with a brush and damp microfibre cloth made it look a good as new.
I had a slight panic when, on powering up, the screen remained blank though backlight. My hunch that the battery change might have caused the problem proved correct when a factory reset fixed it. Everything seems to work perfectly after a quick play and I ran most of the self test. Except, I have no floppies to use so will ask around to see if anyone has an unwanted stash.
Now to figure out how to record using the sequencer. Of course, I could just use a DAW with the MIDI but having an appliance is so much more satisfying then yet more work on a computer.


Cacti - T. Pachanoi
I have tried three different methods of ingesting mescaline from the San Pedro cactus (T. Pachanoi) with one major success, one minor victory, and a recent failure.
The first time I tried to prepare the cactus by removing the spines, the outer skin, and keeping only the green xylem, following the San Pedro Preparation One. Three of us shared a combined 36' in length and 4' in diameter cactus sections. We reached a Plus Two on the Shulgin scale. To me it seemed like a lot of work for little gain.
The next time we made sure we would get a good dose of mescaline. I used the same vendor and amount and added 28g of dried green tissue purchased from another vendor. I used San Pedro Preparation Five. I macerated the dried green tissue and added it to the mix one hour before straiing the mix. We also ingested a small amount of an MAOi (Syrian Rue) in order to stop the destruction of the mescaline and to potentiate its effect. Two of us had 12 hour trips and the third one (female, less mass) experienced the mescaline for approximately 17 hours. We all definitely experienced a Plus Four, and mescaline became my favorite of the psychoactives because it gave the feel and introspection associated with LSD with a serene quality I had never felt with LSD.
I gave 28g of the remaining dried green tissue to a friend. He then stuffed it into gel caps and had a great time, so I decided that three of us would do the same. I used a different vendor for the dried green tissue this time, and three of us ingested what seemed like over 50 pills. We experienced nothing, perhaps a Plus One for a short time. It should be noted that ingesting pills may sound like a better alternative to drinking a vile, bitter tea; however, swallowing 50 00 size pills isn't the easiest task in the world.
Conclusions: The first time I believe the dose wasn't enough and I had lost much of the mescaline and other alkyloids in the preparation. The second time worked well. I wish I had just used the cactus so I could definitely determine whether it was the preparation method and the effects of the MAOi that resulted in the different experiences. In light of my friend's experience with the third method I am unsure whether the third experience was due to a different vendor, the gel caps, or that we had eaten fish curry shortly before ingesting the pills. I plan to try using doses of 18' cactus sections in the future with Preparation Five. I also plan to vary whether I take the Syrian Rue prior to ingestion of the San Pedro brew.
It should be noted that these experiences spanned a year with several months between each experience.

Hi, Have a vm with a 60gb disk. Only done some migrations, and ROGUE. Quite new setup. Got Error: Error: Disk space is low!
on ROGUE and when investigating found tmpfs 9.9G 0 9.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock

Could this be related to migrations? I vaguely remember ^cing out of a larger migration loop at some point.
