Limited Creative

Limited Creative

prevents any way of creative player to pass items to survival-mode, without need of a separate creative-world.

Scenario: You're starting your first survival server, just finished the spawn, the first players join and one asks: "hey sup, g1v3 me cr3at1v3. i made u teh imba *whatever*-building". Well, if you really decide to say okay to that, 5 minutes later, that players has stacks of diamondblocks, -armor and -tools in there bags. Next step? Reset your world and completely start over, which is never fun!
But Limited Creative is here to save you.

So how does Limited Creative prevents players from abusing creative-mode within your world:

  • Switching back to survival? previous survival-inventory restored
  • Trying to put items in a chest? denied
  • Trying to drop something on the ground or hopper? denied
  • Trying to put items into storage-carts or sell to villagers or similar? denied
  • Using commands not intended for creative players? denied
  • Using economy to sell for plugins? denied
  • Wants to go anywhere in creative mode? denied
  • Trying to place expensive blocks somewhere? allowed, for sure, that's what creative is for, but the block won't drop anything if destroyed in survival!

The restrictions aren't only for restricted players. I also like to have some of them as the owner. For example separated inventories: No need to rearrange your quick-bar after switching back to survival mode. No more bother because you thrown away a stack of grilled steaks for a single wool-block on switching back ;)
Or building a minecart track as op. While breaking blocks often carts, rails torches, redstone and much more fall to ground... no longer! LC prevents all that drops, or just removes them when you walk over.

  • Inventories-Module
    • Display configured armor on creative players for visual distinction
    • Remember creative inventory or not
    • Separate adventure from survival or not
  • Limit-Module
    • prevent dropping of items in creative mode (even on death)
    • prevent access to all types of chests in creative mode
    • prevent usage of interactive signs (to stop economy in creative)
    • prevent dealing or retrieving damage to/from other players (that means: no PvP between creative and survival player)
    • blacklisting the use/create of items/blocks as well as breaking blocks
    • blacklisting the interaction with selected entities
    • optional prevent pick up of items in creative mode or remove items on pick up
  • WorldGuard Region-Module
    • that means: enable automatic creative-mode for selected players in regions you want
    • blocks in creative regions never drop anything (independent who placed it or which game mode the destroyer is in)
    • prevents pistons from getting blocks out of creative areas
    • optional: let player switch game mode in creative-area (/lc creative/survival) without permission
  • Command Blocker-Module
    • While in creative mode, certain commands can blocked for users via configuration
    • Either blocks simple strings or complex regular expressions
    • Bypass certain parameter commands via permission
  • GameMode-Permissions-Module
    • Adds players to a configured permission-group as long as they are in creative
    • This allows you to negate all permissions that creative players shouldn't use, like economic features
    • Requires Vault and a Permission-Plugin supported by Vault
  • BlockState-Module Disabled by default in config.yml
    • Remembers if blocks are set by creative players
    • Prevents the drop of blocks created by creative players, even if it is not in a region
    • Works with pistons, tnt, item frames, falling sand/gravel and attached items like redstone/torches
    • Supports MySQL and SQLite (definition form bukkit.yml)
    • A tool (wood pickaxe by default; right-click) tells an op who created the block in which gamemode.
    • A command (/lc bs) to modify the saved state in the database, via WorldEdit-Selections

All features are optional and can be independent disabled in config.

Utilizing the only for LC developed library plib, LC provides easy usability for admins:

  • Self explaining config.yml, with every setting documented
  • Full configurable from commandline/ingame commands
  • Detailed command explanation for every (sub-)command (/lc help)
  • On the fly module enable- and disabling via configuration-commands

Bug #3085

Unwanted closures

Added by andythenorth over 3 years ago. Updated about 3 years ago.

Assignee:-% Done:

Target version:0.7.3

(also reported by Macee in dev thread)

Simon Smith wrote:

Unwanted shutdowns: Coal (only) to a steel mill, the steel mill still shut down. Unfortunately I can't prove that one. Second, building materials to a builders yard, I've had three shutdowns (so far) in one game! The first two times a builders yard went I thought it was just insufficiently frequent supply delivery. Third time, I had a lorry delivering transferred cargo at a rate of around two shipments a month, and the yard /still/ went. And to rub salt in the wound I'd bought a second lorry to deal with the supply backlog days before the yard disappeared. I'm using OTTDr22855 and FIRS 0.7.0 beta1. Unfortunately the savegame exceeds the upload size limit. If you'd like me to try recreating the problem in a fresh game that isn't >7Mb please ask.

Incidentally, I believe another industry (accepting goods) shut down in the same town within a month or two of the builders yard going. Probably just a coincidence, but might be a 'shut down this industry' flag not getting cleared correctly and nobbling the builders' yard as well.

This game has also had some Iron Works and Forges appearing way late in the timeline. I started in 1930 so I'd expect to see some, but shouldn't they tend to be supplanted by the steel mills when they appear?

I like the new FIRS a great deal; my only minor gripe is the rather grim graphic you use for the Hotel. It looks more like a borstal to me, I'm sorry to say

Edit: Now that's just taking the mickey. Seven months after the disappearance of the last yard, and just after I'd built track to a new yard, /and/ just after the last train transferring the remaining supplies pulled out of the old station, it's built a brand new yard so close to the site of the old one it's still in the station catchment area. Has someone added a sense of humour to the game as an Easter egg??

+ - Secession petitions flood White House website -> 1

Submitted by RNLockwood
RNLockwood writes: reports that several petitions to secede from the Union have been created at the White House site, We The People, for many states; all since Obama's re-election. Texas and Louisiana lead the list with Texas needing only 7,000 more signatures to qualify for a White House response, probably less now as more Americans have become aware of the petitions. (Probably there is no mapping to post election racist tweets Post Election Racist Tweets Map )

If the petitions spark the state legislatures to petition congress and the nation agrees to allow Louisiana and Texas to secede the we will save a LOT of money. For instance the Corps of Engineers will no longer be spend tax dollars to prevent flooding in Louisiana. Think of the savings if all the Federal buildings, bases, and facilities in Texas are closed! The residents of those states can take charge of their problems without federal interference at last. Since the citizens and businesses won't be paying Federa taxes, money saved will be used to create jobs, prosperity will follow, and show how just right Romney and Bush really were.

IMHO this is an experiment worth trying!! Slashdotters, get busy and sign as many of those petitions as you can.

Pesticide Investigations at WIL

Pesticide Investigations

In 2009, over 156 million pounds of pesticide active ingredients were used in California. While pesticides have contributed to the high quality of life enjoyed in California, their use has not come without cost to the fish and wildlife resources of the State. CDFW formed the Pesticide Investigations Unit in 1964 to address ongoing effects of fish and wildlife from pesticide use. This unit later became part of the Wildlife Investigations Laboratory. WIL continues to protect fish and wildlife from adverse pesticide impacts by investigation of pesticide-related fish and wildlife incidents, involvement in the pesticide registration process, participation in monitoring studies, and education of pesticide users on impacts to fish and wildlife.

Diabetes in Zero G

This past week I had the opportunity of a experience Zero G and 2 G on a NASA plane.  Three other teachers from my school and I were in Houston, Texas for 12 days.  Back in the winter, we created an experiment that our students at school could do and that would have different results in zero and 2 G.

NASA has a special plane (the weightless wonder) that we got to ride for 2 hours while testing our experiment.  I was nervous for a few reasons:

1.  In order to prevent motion sickness, you should take a pill or shot.  I hate needles.  However, I sucked it up and took the shot, which makes you dizzy.  In reality, I didn't get too dizzy and it was similar to getting a flu shot.

2.  I had no idea how my insulin pump would work in zero G and 2 G.  From my limited research, there has never been a diabetic astronaut.  My endocrinologist in Chicago didn't think it would be an issue, and the flight doctor told me I'd be fine.  In reality, I was.  When we took off, I was 134.  When we landed, I was 103.  I'd say I was successful.

It is hard to put into words the experience I had.  Being weightless was one of the neatest things I have ever experienced.  We also go to experience Martian and Lunar gravity, which made doing push-ups very easy.  If only it was like that in real life.

I can definitely say that I am more interested in space after this week, and had an amazing time.

  1. That's so awesome! I always wanted to go to Space Camp just to experience the weightlessness. So jealous!

  2. That is so cool! What a great experience.

Maybe or perhaps?

from English Grammar Today

Maybe and perhaps are adverbs that mean the same thing. We use them when we think something is possible, but we are not certain. We use maybe mostly in front or end position whereas perhaps is used in front, mid and end position:

Have you seen my glasses? I can’t find them anywhere.

Maybe you left them at work.

Do you think these shoes are too high?

They are perhaps. (it’s possible but I’m not certain)

As you perhaps remember, I worked as an interpreter for three years in the European Parliament.

Not: As you maybe remember

Perhaps is slightly more formal than maybe:

He was, perhaps, a little too smartly dressed for a holidaymaker.

Maybe I’ll finish work early tomorrow and go shopping with you.

Word Origin and History for spring equinox

late 14c., from Old French equinoce (12c.) or directly from Medieval Latin equinoxium "equality of night (and day)," from Latin aequinoctium "the equinoxes," from aequus "equal" (see equal (adj.)) + nox (genitive noctis) "night" (see night). The Old English translation was efnniht. Related: Equinoctial.

spring equinox in Science
  1. Either of the two points on the celestial sphere where the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun) crosses the celestial equator. ◇ The point at which the Sun's path crosses the celestial equator moving from south to north is called the vernal equinox. The vernal equinox marks the zero point in both the equatorial and ecliptic coordinate systems; horizontal angular distances (right ascension in the equatorial system and celestial longitude in the ecliptic system) are measured eastward from this point. The vernal equinox is also known as the first point of Aries because when first devised some 2,000 years ago this point occurred at the beginning of Aries in the zodiac. Because of the westward precession of the equinoxes, the vernal equinox is now located at the beginning of Pisces. ◇ The point at which the Sun's path crosses the celestial equator moving from north to south is called the autumnal equinox.

  2. Either of the two corresponding moments of the year when the Sun is directly above the Earth's equator. The vernal equinox occurs on March 20 or 21 and the autumnal equinox on September 22 or 23, marking the beginning of spring and autumn, respectively, in the Northern Hemisphere (and the reverse in the Southern Hemisphere). The days on which an equinox falls have about equal periods of sunlight and darkness. Compare solstice.

Tombstone Tuesday - Seavey-Richardson Families at Sandy Creek

Sandy Creek Cemetery, on a hill beside Willett Brook, is located on the present Pinook Road, facing the road to South Bridgton.  According to the published history of Bridgton,* "most of those living in this area when Sandy Creek was a thriving industrial village are buried here.  All the stones were removed at one time and the entire cemetery regraded and the stones replaced, presumably near to their original locations."  In 1843, Jonathan Seavey was one of the committee members tasked to "lot the grounds."  He and Harriet are my Great-Great Grandparents.

This cemetery has no sign or fence.  I only remembered where it was from exploring with Dad several years ago.  It was a beautiful October day when I ventured up Rt. 302 to take these pictures.   There are child graves from all 3 unions.

A little time-line here:

  • 1824 Jonathan Seavey and Mary G. Blake wed.  They had 7-12 children, including a child born in Jefferson, NH and adopted (lists vary).

  • 1838 Eben Richardson and Harriet Cross Libby  wed.  They had 2 children.

  • 1844 Eben Richardson died at age 29.  He and Harriet were only married 6 years.

  • 1845 Mary Blake died at age 37, and Jonathan Seavey married Harriet C. Libby.  They had 7 children, and Jonathan adopted the two Richardson daughters.

"The widow of Eben Richardson married a widower Jonathan Seavey, 19 years her senior, and outlived him 32 years."

Hi everyone...

I'm new in Xbee and i need build a network like i show in the photo.

Your text to link here...

i think the module A is the coordinator and all the others are end devices. I need a permanently comunication between all them because, the idea is to report the errors in the system.

I have one xbee with the caracteristics:
Modem type: XB24C

do i need to change the firmware version?

I don't know the configuration of firmware the others xbee because they are connect directly to micro atmega640. But i know i can figure out it.

Thank you for help!

A Celebration of Women Writers

From: Robinson, Mrs. M. Poems. London: J. Bell, 1791. p. 172.

[Page 172]

'TIS NOT thy flowing hair of orient gold,
  Nor those bright eyes, like sapphire gems that glow;
  Nor cheek of blushing rose, nor breast of snow,
The varying passions of the heart could hold:

Those locks, too soon, shall own a silv'ry ray,
  Those radiant orbs their magic fires forego;
Insatiate TIME shall steal those tints away,
  Warp thy fine form, and bend thy beauties low:

But the rare wonders of thy polish'd MIND
  Shall mock the empty menace of decay;
The GEM, that in thy SPOTLESS BREAST enshrin'd,
  Glows with the light of intellectual ray;
Shall, like the Brilliant, scorn each borrow'd aid,
And deck'd with native lustre NEVER FADE!

The Duchess of Devonshire
From the Engraving by Bartolozzi, after J. Nixon.

St. Pat’s parades proceed amid tension over gays

(NEW YORK, AP) — A weekend of St. Patrick’s Day revelry and tensions over the exclusion of gays in some of the celebrations was culminating Monday in New York, where Guinness beer and the city’s new mayor planned to sit out the world’s largest parade celebrating Irish heritage.

Mayor Bill de Blasio held the traditional St. Patrick’s Day breakfast at Gracie Mansion with the Irish prime minister, Enda Kenny, but planned to boycott the parade, which doesn’t allow expressions of gay identity. Boston’s new mayor, Martin Walsh, also opted out of that city’s parade Sunday after talks broke down that would have allowed a gay veterans group to march.

For the second year running, Dublin’s major parade was including groups from Ireland’s gay rights groups, Dublin Pride and BeLonG To. Gay groups are a big part of the Dublin community dance groups, which wear flamboyant outfits and feature in each year’s Dublin parade.

While New York’s Irish, their descendants and the Irish for a day planned to revel in the celebration of culture on Monday, de Blasio’s decision to skip the parade underscores lingering political tensions over gay rights issues in the United States. Kenny, however, refused to be sidelined, saying he’d join the procession Monday in Manhattan because the holiday is about Irishness, not sexuality.

De Blasio, in one of the first major events that Gracie Mansion has hosted under the new mayor, addressed several hundred people at the breakfast, many of Irish descent.

Sporting a green tie, de Blasio, who is not Irish, recalled his roots growing up in Massachusetts, living in congressional district once represented by Irish-American political greats John F. Kennedy and Tip O’Neill. “I also grew up in an atmosphere so rich in Irish culture,” the mayor said.

He called Irish immigrants a “foundational” part of what made New York what it is today. He concluded with a toast, saying “in this city of immigrants we never forget where we came from.”

In Boston, thousands of green-clad spectators came out to watch bagpipers and marchers on Sunday, and organizers of a float intended to promote diversity threw Mardi Gras-type beads to onlookers. A similar scene played out in downtown Philadelphia.

In Michigan, parades were Sunday held in Bay City and Detroit, and on Monday, a St. Patrick’s Day Parade was scheduled in Cleveland. Cities from Savannah, Ga., to Montreal also hosted festivities over the weekend, and throughout the world, landmarks were bathed in green floodlights.

Kenny, Ireland’s head of government, on Sunday became the first Irish prime minister to attend Boston’s annual St. Patrick’s Day breakfast. He has resisted pressure, in both Ireland and America, to support the gay rights lobby’s demand to have equal rights to participate in parades on St. Patrick’s Day.

“The St. Patrick’s Day parade (in New York) is a parade about our Irishness and not about sexuality, and I would be happy to participate in it,” Kenny said in Dublin before leaving for a six-day trip to the U.S.

In Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day provides the launch of the country’s annual push for tourism, a big part of the rural economy. Virtually the entire Irish government left the Emerald Isle for the holiday. Of the government’s 28 ministers, 27 are overseas, seeking to boost economic and cultural ties from Beijing to Buenos Aires.

“To Irish people by birth or descent, wherever they may be in the world, and to those who simply consider themselves to be friends of Ireland, I wish each and every one of you a happy, peaceful and authentically Irish St. Patrick’s Day,” Irish President Michael D. Higgins, the ceremonial head of state and guest of honor at Monday’s parade in Dublin, said in a statement.

Parade organizers in New York have said gay groups are not prohibited from marching, but are not allowed to carry gay-friendly signs or identify themselves as LGBT.

Some LGBT groups were to protest the parade along the parade route on Fifth Avenue on Monday. Others had planned to dump Guinness beer from the shelves of the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of the gay rights movement, in protest of the brewer’s plan to sponsor the parade, but that demonstration was canceled late Sunday after Guinness said in a statement that it had dropped its sponsorship.

Other beer companies joined the boycotts earlier, with Sam Adams withdrawing its sponsorship of Boston’s parade and Heineken following suit in New York.

New York’s parade, a tradition that predates the city itself, draws more than 1 million spectators and about 200,000 participants every March 17. It has long been a mandatory stop on the city’s political trail, and includes marching bands, traditional Irish dancers and thousands of uniformed city workers.

Associated Press writer Shawn Pogatchnik in Dublin contributed to this report.

Small mammals face especially severe thermoregulatory challenges at high altitude because the reduced O2 availability constrains the capacity for aerobic thermogenesis. Adaptive enhancement of thermogenic performance under hypoxic conditions may be achieved via physiological adjustments that occur within the lifetime of individuals (phenotypic plasticity) and/or genetically based changes that occur across generations, but their relative contributions to performance differences between highland and lowland natives are unclear. Here, we examined potentially evolved differences in thermogenic performance between populations of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) that are native to different altitudes. The purpose of the study was to assess the contribution of phenotypic plasticity to population differences in thermogenic performance under hypoxia. We used a common-garden deacclimation experiment to demonstrate that highland deer mice have enhanced thermogenic capacities under hypoxia, and that performance differences between highland and lowland mice persist when individuals are born and reared under common-garden conditions, suggesting that differences in thermogenic capacity have a genetic basis. Conversely, population differences in thermogenic endurance appear to be entirely attributable to physiological plasticity during adulthood. These combined results reveal distinct sources of phenotypic plasticity for different aspects of thermogenic performance, and suggest that thermogenic capacity and endurance may have different mechanistic underpinnings.

My Dear Mother

This is the 7th day since our arrival here, and believe me it is the first oppirtunity [opportunity] that I have had of writing since that time — My constant engagements in the discharge of my duties, now that I belong to "Uncle Sam", which have so far been very laborious, has only give me time to [unclear: not ] at night — And now, My Dear Mother, that I have seated myself for the purpose of writing you, I do not know where to commence, for I have so much to speak of, and so little time to do it in, that it leaves me in doubt as to what I shall communicate first.

Tide PODs

The package itself is a sheet of laundry pods stitched together, printed using soap-soluble ink. The POD plastic is, just like in the existing product, water-soluble. Consumers tear off each POD and use one-by-one. With the last POD, the package itself is gone.

The primary packaging is a flexible plastic bag that, while product remains, serves as re-usable container. However, it becomes totally worthless when empty and will be tossed.

PODs, instead of being stored loose, are stitched together into a perforated sheet. Product details and brand information are then printed directly onto this sheet. All inks are water-soluble, and dissolve in the wash (just like soap dyes).

The customer tears off PODs one-at-a-time as needed, simply tossing the POD directly into the wash. All parts of the packaging dissolve safely. When the last POD has been used, the package is gone. No waste to throw away.

Every solution features an insignia that both identifies it as a Disappearing Package (building brand recognition) and clearly instructs the consumer on how to disappear it.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf

I had an exciting thought the other day when was talking to my brother-in-law, who is a designer for Merrell (a division of Wolverine that specializes in hiking apparel). I told him how cool it would be if Merrell made disc golf shoes, since myself and a slue of other disc golfers I know use Merrell (or other similar brands) as their preferred disc golf foot attire. Since I cannot think of a single disc golf shoe in existence, I told him Merrell could have a strong chance of cornering that market niche. Since Merrell is a quality brand and based out of Rockford, MI, I would defiantly welcome a disc golf shoe and use it religiously. We continued our discussion with shoe tread ideas and other suggestions. He said he talk about with Merrell's VP, but I want to know my fellow disc golfers' thoughts...

Here is what i currently use. I think it's the chameleon 2, made by Merrell though. I know the picture kind of silly, but It's the best example I could muster up in a short time.
I currently just use tennis shoes because I have been in search of the best disc golf shoe. Here is my problem though:

I wear a Size: 15 Wide!!!!!

Please pass this along as there are some of us that have large feet and can never find boots, let alone shoes to fit right and be comfortable.
Bite footwear made a line of disc golf shoes. I don't know how they turned out as I never bought any, but surely, you could find some feedback on-line somewhere.
Sounds good to me! I'm a shoe nut, so I would give it a try. However unless they stopped making them. There is a company that does make a disc golf shoe. Never tried it though, since I like the trail runner type of shoes and it was more of a light hiking boot.
I know exactly which shoe you are talking about. My buddy has a pair and he rarely uses them. They quite bulky, more like an over glorified hiking boot. I know I like to have something lite on my foot so I'm not slowing down the foot work.

I think we are talking about this shoe. I haven't heard any positive feed back about them, only complaints. I defiantly think a better design can be executed.
There was a company called Turntech that marketed a shoe for disc golf. I think it was actually a softball/baseball shoe. Under the toes, it had a circular cleat design that made sense for golfers that plant and twist when they throw. Id like to see this on a hiker from Merrell, great shoes.
I LOVE MERRELL. I've used Merrell hiking boots for as long as I can remember for my backpacking weekends, and I love my Merrell slip on clogs. In fact if they made shoes for all of the activities I would likely use only Merrell shoes. I think the Five Finger shoes would be a nice Disc Golfing shoe, but Merrell can out do that.

Some nice light full sole disc golfing sandal much like the Keen and Teva full toe sandals, and a nice lightweight trail runner type shoe with more sole sensitivity, and a pair of light hikers for disc golf. People have different preferences on footwear, I love full toe sandals like my Teva Narmadas, and on cool days I really like my Merrell Clogs. I can't see myself throwing well with a light hiker. Just too much grip I think.

I like my Nike Trail Runners. Light weight and you can play all day. Cost , about $ 50.00
I've been through soooooo may tennis shoes. My first problem was a toe-dragging issue. At one point I had 10 pairs of tennis shoes, all with the left toe area blown out. The next pair of tennis shoes I bought fell apart at the seams, I think they were Adidas. I gave up on tennis shoes; they seem to only have about a 3 month life span for me.

I did eventually get some Merrells. I had them for 2 years before they got uncomfortable. I heard Merrell will fix the shoes if you send them in. I inquired about this, but never received a response.
Those are the exact Nike's I also use disc golfin.
Dog poo.

Actual footwear. Some hiking boots from Walmart. Actually the best footwear I have found yet for playing. They are water tight, have a nice thick tread, and show very little wear after 4 months of play.

My Putting Game Improvements

I have been developing putting training games to help myself improve my short game and putting. It has been close to three weeks and my confidence as well as my accuracy and shot inventory has greatly improved already. Before I began reworking my putting i would make mostly all puts from 10' and in which is normal even for a one armed blind hooker. I would make about half of my shots outside of 20' which sucked royally. My 30' range was really struggling because I was making less than a quarter… Continue

Yes, He Has A Mandate

Andrew Sullivan —  Dec 12 2012 @ 1:30pm

Screen shot 2012-12-12 at 1.26.07 PM

That’s the overwhelming conclusion from the polling out there. Just look at the RCP graph above. The Bloomberg poll is also stunning in its view of how most Americans understood the election to be exactly a choice between one approach – Bush/Cheney/Romney – and another – Obama/Clinton – and chose the latter decisively. Money quote:

Sixty-five percent of Americans say the Nov. 6 results gave Obama a “mandate” on his proposal to raise tax rates on income over $250,000 and “to get it done.” Forty-five percent of Republicans agree.

My italics. The longer the Congressional Republicans remain in denial about this, the more isolated they will become. These quotes from voters leapt out at me:

The election “was basically a referendum that wealthy people could and would pay more,” said poll respondent Jim Johnson, 66, of Littleton, Colorado, a retired telecommunications executive and a Republican who voted for Mitt Romney. “It was perfectly clear. That was Obama’s stance throughout the election.” Poll respondent Gerald Watts, 75, of Lake Quivira, Kansas, a retired engineer and another Republican who voted for Romney, read the election results the same way. “Every time we listened to him on TV, he’d start talking about raising taxes on the rich — every news conference, every time he went up in front of a group,” said Watts. “He didn’t want to talk about anything else.”

These two men are smack in the middle of the GOP’s current demographics. And, unlike the foam-flecked mouth-pieces on Fox, they are admirably civic in their understanding of politics. Listen to them, Mr Speaker. And lead.

An Open Letter to TED

arrangementsKen Jordan, Publisher & Editorial Director, Evolver/Reality Sandwich, has written an open letter to TED’s Chris Anderson in an attempt to get the TED organization to stop squirming around for a minute and talk about the real issues at stake in their decision to cordon off large swaths of scientific inquiry:

“TED’s prominence has made it, perhaps inadvertently, into an forum that validates worthy intellectual progress. If a good idea gets momentum, it will most likely end up, one way or another, presented by TED or one of the TEDx offshoots.

That’s why the censure of the TEDx talks by Graham Hancock and Rupert Sheldrake is so dismaying. As you must know, to many of us the reasons behind their removal from the TED YouTube site are just not clear. On behalf of the Evolver community, I’d like to extend an invitation to you to help us understand the reasoning that led to TED’s actions, because we suspect that behind your decision is an uninformed prejudice against groundbreaking research in a critical area of study, the possibility that consciousness extends beyond the brain.”

The issue here is not one of censorship, it’s one of social engineering.… Read the rest

Embalming Time – The Photography of Invisible Things

It is an egregious,  unavoidable fact that much of the material evidence for unexplained experience is the result of easily explained technical glitches, intentionally or unintentionally invoked. Apparitional double exposures, pollen produced orbs, apophenial faces, and other replicable effects mar the minds of seekers and skeptics confronted with photographs, and other forms of ostensibly objective proof, said to contain traces of some transcendent order of nature.

The latest episode of The Midnight Archive, an award winning documentary series from film maker Ronni Thomas, features an interview with photographer Shannon Taggart  who takes this fact as given, and, moving beyond questions of real or unreal, uses it to capture a more narrative experience of the event. In the interview she discusses her art, and the broader history of Spiritualist spirit photography, in the process providing an alternative approach to understanding these areas of experience that steps past questions of proof:

As an artist and photojournalist Taggart is able to eschew issues of authenticity, in order to embrace the psychological and storytelling aspects of the event.… Read the rest

The Midnight Archive – Art & the Occult

If you enjoyed the recent conversation between Thad McKraken and Pam Grossman of Phantasmaphile, you might enjoy the latest episode of The Midnight Archive, which also features Grossman in a conversation about her inspirations, and the fascinating interstices of artistic inspiration and occult influences.

The Midnight Archive’s past episodes feature a number of interesting guests including Mitch Horowitz, author of Occult America,  Evan Michelson, co-owner of Brooklyn purveyors of the odd  Obscura, and star of the Science Channel’s show Oddities,  Joanna Ebstein, curator of The Morbid Anatomy Library, and a number of other interesting organizations and individuals working on the edges of taboo and transgression.

‘As We See Sound: Explorations of Audible Color’ – Visual Music 101 Event in Chicago

“Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body.”

– Wassily Kandinsky

Musicians, philosophers, and artists have sought, for centuries, the ultimate translation of sound and vision, the ability to translate one sensual experience into another, from hearing to seeing and back again. This search for “audible color” has taken many forms, from early Pythagorean theories on the harmony of the celestial spheres to contemporary experiments with electronic music, rituals, and coordinated visual effects. Running through it all is a fascination with how existence is interwoven with relationships that often defy our understanding.

“On Sunday, February 17th at 3pm at the Spudnik Annex, Homeroom Chicago, Spudnik Press, and Access Contemporary Music present a public seminar exploring the relationship between color and sound.

As music became the inspiration for the movement towards abstraction in early 20th century European painting, artists searched for ever more meaningful ways to incorporate the language and gestures of music into their work.

The Inquisition Can be a Witch’s Best friend – An Open Letter to ‘Occult Experts’

This is a sort of rambling, open letter to all “occult experts” who find themselves in the position to promote panic among the community and law enforcement when something weird pops up in the woods, local cemetery or any other place with potential to be mytho-poetically relevant.  You’ve appeared again in the news, and your presence is as annoying and unnerving as ever. Did you know that the Inquisition can be a witch’s best friend? Well, let me be a bit more direct…by your own definition you are the witch in this situation.

“Oh no! I’m a god fearing scholar,  a concerned citizen doing my duty to inform the public about the nefarious doings of black magic and evil witchcraft!”

Really? If you honestly think so, please go and study some basic psychology before you start ranting to the public about spells and sorcerers. The more media attention that your crazy talk gets the more you’re priming the community for something to actually occur, and I’m not talking supernatural, I’m talking folks getting dumb ideas and getting violent.… Read the rest

Hunting for Unicorns – Skeptic Challenges & the Illusion of Scientific Inquiry

“The attacks on the million dollar challenge are likely to continue. This is a sign, in my opinion, of the success of the challenge. Con artists know they cannot beat the challenge, and so they have no choice but to try to discredit it. Those who truly believe they have abilities but fail the challenge almost universally make up post hoc excuses for their failure.”

Our writing is an interesting window into our beliefs and opinions, even when we may not be fully aware of what it shows. What does it say to end a critical piece with a manipulative double bind that leads the reader to conclude those who question the JREF Challenge are either gullible or cons?

The opening quote comes from a recent article by Steven Novella discussing Steve Volk’s critique of the James Randi Educational Foundation Challenge. As usually happens when the JREF is brought up, either positively or negatively, Volk has ignited a vigorous back and forth between skeptics and believers.… Read the rest

Viva la Muerte! Holy Death Comes to Brooklyn

Morbid Anatomy Library Acquisition Number 1,352: New Lot of Santa Muerte Related Materials from Mexico

The Morbid Anatomy Library’s most recent acquisition brings the Boney Lady to Brooklyn, NY:

“The Morbid Anatomy Library is delighted to announce the acquisition of a new lot of materials related to Santa Muerte, which is, depending on whom you ask, a Mexican-based “cult” or “new religion” which worships death as a female saint.

Santa Muerte,” which literally translates to “Holy Death” or “Saint Death,” is popular in Mexico and the United States with disenfranchised populations for whom conventional Catholicism has not provided a better or safer life. It is thought to have its roots in the rich syncretism of the beliefs of the native Latin Americans and the colonizing Spanish Catholics.

The artifacts donated to the library, many of which you see above, include sacred books and pamphlets, devotional statues, magical soaps and oils, charms, incense, and even “La Biblia de la Santa Muerte.” They were generously donated by Friends of Morbid Anatomy Tonya Hurley and Tracy Hurley Martin as found on their travels in Mexico.”

These items have joined the library’s other “curiosities, books, photographs, artworks, ephemera, and artifacts relating to medical museums, anatomical art, collectors and collecting, cabinets of curiosity, the history of medicine, death and society, natural history, arcane media, and curiosity and curiosities broadly considered,” and are now on display in their collection.… Read the rest

From Beyond the Grave – The Final Edition of Saucer Smear

The Men in Black never beat him, and death can’t either. Jim Moseley’s recent passing hasn’t stopped him from getting out one last issue of Saucer Smear.  Since the early 1950’s Moseley has been front and center for the development of the UFO culture. Officially named in 1981, Saucer Smear was the final iteration of a popular insider newsletter that he had been producing since the early ’70’s.

The newsletter has been a staple of UFOlogy, and provided an open forum to discuss every aspect of the field from classic cases to the latest arguments in the ranks of the UFOlogical elite. Dr. Tim Brigham, a personal friend of Moseley’s and a Contributing Editor at Saucer Smear, sent out the following brief communique to announce the digital release of the final issue:

Don’t let the MIB stop it. Download your copy of the Last issue of the longest running flying saucer zine in the galaxy: Jim Moseley’s ‘Saucer Smear.’ In loving memory (and free!)

Watch The Skies

Tim Brigham, Phd

Contributing Editor, Saucer Smear (Ret)

In true form this issue covers critical exchanges with Nick Redfern over the reality of MIB’s, Stanton Friedman over his credentials as a physicist, and the sad state of contemporary UFOlogy.… Read the rest

W. S. Burroughs Restored

Viruses are obligatory cellular parasites and are thus wholly dependant upon the integrity of the cellular systems they parasitize for their survival in an active state. It is something of a paradox that many viruses ultimately destroy the cells in which they are living…

- from “Virus Adaptibility and Host Resistance” by G. Belyavin, as qouted by William S. Burroughs in The Electronic Revolution: Feedback from Watergate to the Garden of Eden

“What we are up against: liars with no honesty or integrity or decency, just plain bastards…”

- William S. Burroughs, from Last Words

William S. Burroughs’ post-mortem existence is predicated on the maintenance of his mediated body, and one of his current hosts is in need of restoration. Howard Brookner’s documentary, Burroughs: The Movie, originally released in 1985 by Giorno Poetry Systems, has been out of print for quite some time. Long available only at a collectors price, and in the original VHS, Brookner’s nephew, Aaron Brookner, has created a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the release of a digitally re-mastered version taken from an original archival print of the documentary:

“Our aim is to remaster and re-release the first long feature documentary ever made about literary icon William S.

Expanding Our Experience of Psi – Biophysical and Clinical Approaches to Parapsychology

While much of the current debate around the existence of psi exists in the field of psychology and cultural studies, the history of psychical research is actually based as much, if not more, in the physical sciences and clinical medicine. In a recent piece for Reality Sandwich researcher Paul Devereux discusses the biophysical experiments of Dr. Michael Persinger and Blake Dotta at Laurentian University, Ontario, and how the evidence from experiments like these is bringing our attention back to the physical characteristics of the phenomena:

“Parapsychology generally provides its evidence in the form of statistics, and so is all too readily subject to the charge of “lies, damned lies and statistics” – how reliable is monitoring lots of subjective responses to laboratory tests, and why isn’t psi robustly repeatable in experimental conditions?  When it comes to actual, real-life psi experiences – telepathic or precognitive events, apparitions and so forth – critics tend to level accusations of misperception or dishonesty against the claimants, and point out that in any case such reports are merely anecdotal, and not acceptable as scientific evidence.

Answered Question - Disney Parks Moms Panel

  • I am staying at one of the Disney villas and I wanted to ship some snacks to my villa prior to my arrival to save a bit on food costs. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for me? I'm looking to ship water bottles and some snacks.
  • - Asked by Elizabeth from New York on 3/10/2009
  • Hi Elizabeth!

    Shipping items from home to your resort is a great way to save on those baggage fees at the airport!

    I would recommend shipping your package in enough time so that it arrives a day or two before you are scheduled to check in. I also suggest shipping via UPS or Fedex over regular mail as in my experience the USPS tracking and on-time delivery can be spotty.

    You will need to put some information on the shipping label so that the resort holds the package for you. Here is an example:

    Amber V.
    c/o Beach Club Villas
    Hold for guest arrival on: 4/10/09
    1800 Epcot Resorts Boulevard
    Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

    You can also include your reservation confirmation number on the label if you wish.

    If you are planning to mostly ship snacks and bottled water, you may be interested in a grocery delivery service like . They will deliver your grocery order to your resort. There is a minimum order of $40 and a delivery fee of $12. Shipping heavy items like bottled water could cost quite a bit - it may be more economical for you to consider a service like Garden Grocer. Visit their website and click on "Help" at the top of the page and follow the links to "FAQ - Grocery Delivery to Resorts & Hotels" to learn more.

    I hope this helps!
