The Quickest Way To Irritate A Stand Up Comedian…fake laughter!

When was the last time that you laughed politely at something or someone? There are many times in life when faking it is expected. Whether you’re laughing at a trick performed by a child or a terrible joke being made by an important business client, you should always try make sure that you aren’t faking laughter in situations when you would be better off being real – such as at a live comedy event.

Research shows that as humans we laugh in one of two ways. The first kind of laughter is instinctively emotional and uncontrollable while the second is self-generated and used in social situations to promote better interactions and to make sure those around us are at ease.

Many people who attend comedy events feel that they need to react in a certain way, especially when the event is being recording and filmed – leading to polite and forced laughter.

David Steinberg is a popular Canadian stand-up comedian and performer. He believes that when it comes to performing live comedy, that “you can’t really get good unless you’re failing in front of a large number of people. That makes stand-up comedy unique: you need a tremendous amount of reserve within you to take the rejection from the audience, and without it, you can’t do anything.”

By forcing laughter you are doing the stand-up comic performing in front of you a great disservice. Great comics with many years of experience are able to use the genuine reaction of the audience as a way of reading the room and adjusting any jokes that aren’t hitting the mark. When we fake laughter it prevents them from doing this and also keeps others from laughing.

You see, genuine laughter is contagious, and when we hear laughter it activates the area in the brain concerned with emotion as well as the part of the brain that controls our facial muscle movements. When we hear genuine laughter these parts of the brain prepare to mimic this, and so we find it easier to laugh in crowds of people laughing with us.

So the next time you attend a live comedy event, leave the canned laughter for the sitcoms. Who knows, you might find you find it funnier this way.

The Sound of Leaves

I’m late to teach. I want to be there at 11:00 am, and it’s already 10:45, and I’m still twenty minutes away. I’m late, I’m not firing on all cylinders, and I’ve forgotten to eat something before I left the house. I decide to stop at Geppeto’s. I stop there often enough so that when I pull up, they start pouring coffee. Extra large and dark. I don’t have to say anything, I walk in, they pour, I give money and then leave. There’s a comfortable elegance in the simplicity of the exchange.

Some days we chat about books, small-talk, etc, but there is the freedom to be minimal. Today is a minimal day, I stop, get my coffee and I’m back at the car within two minutes. I’m holding the cup with one hand and fumbling for my keys with the other. I had been mulling over the day’s planned activities and was still processing the necessary requirements. I had an official “evaluation for tenure” classroom observation, I had two brand new lesson plans, and I had 45 application resumes to go through. A big day, I had a thousand things to do, and two thousand things that could go wrong. So I’m heading to my car with purpose and some urgency.

I’m parked across the street, next to the golf course, parallel with the out of bounds fence. The course property is edged with maple trees, the street is filled with fallen leaves, the sidewalk is likewise littered, and through the chain link fence I see that the fairway grass of the golf course is stippled with brown. The color very intense under the trees, and fading to the occasional lone spot in the middle of the fairway. I see this all in the momentary glance as I struggle to unlock the door. I pull the door handle and I hear the metallic click of the lock, but before I can pull the door open, I hear a second click. A slightly softer click.

At first I thought it was the door mechanism locking again, but then I realized that it was coming directly from my right. I looked but I didn’t see anything. Strange, then I heard it to my left, a little softer, but a distinct click. Still nothing there, and no movement to help identify the source. Since my eyes were of no use, I used my ears and then I began to hear a series of clicks, they were all around me, close, and also at some distance. It was unsettling to hear but not see the source.

I finally saw the movement of a falling leaf. Unseen and ignored before, I followed the spinning, whirling path, and I noticde that when it hit the pavement there was a soft muffled click. I heard it again from another leaf further to the left. I stood there mesmerized, listening to a symphony of clicks as leaf after leaf danced their way to the ground.

They float, sailing on the smallest of breeze, noiseless until their final landing. Click! Then it all stops. A season of movement, shuddering in storms, pelted by rain, quaking in stiff winds, and then barely moving in the soft summer breeze. Now winter approaches and there is this wrenching freedom before one last glorious flight. One chance to sail, one chance to scribe a path in the air, twisting, turning, flipping and then a reversing a spin. A gymnastic event for leaves.

At the end there is the subtle soft sound that tells the listening world that it is over. Click!

I stood there for a decade, in awe and wonder, my plans meaningless compared to the grace and courage all around me.

Tell Your Congress What Makes Financial Sense

November 30, 2010

The Congress Republicans are opposing extending unemployment benefits for the nearly 10% of the work force that doesn’t have a job. They say it’s too expensive to support the 2 million people whose benefits expire. They also oppose ending the 2003 tax cuts for those who make more than $250,000, the richest 2% of the country.

Unemployment payments extension will cost $60 billion if it lasts for an entire year. And it won’t last that long. The tax cuts for the rich will add $700 billion to the deficit over ten years. And the cuts will last that long.

The unemployment benefits will be spent in the economy as the money is needed for subsistence and that spending will save or create jobs. The rich will just invest their money in stocks and bonds or otherwise save it. They don’t need the money for subsistence and they won’t necessarily spend it.

It’s pretty simple math: On the one hand there’s $60 billion to be spent in the economy and on the other hand is $700 billion that won’t be.

Which makes financial sense? Let your Congressfolks know that you know.

Private VPN - Just how to Remain Anonymous On the web

A VPN (virtual personal network) is just a networking technology notion that utilizes often community or private networks to give rise to a protected research knowledge network connection. The mostly applied community network in this instance is the net, although private communities are usually leased lines from a service provider. It runs on layers 2 and 3 of the OSI coating, nevertheless multiprotocol brand switching (MPLS) efficiency makes both levels less distinct.
VPNs inter-connect distant websites over disparate ranges in an identical sense to a Broad Region Network (WAN).). The everyday raising customer base for data has taken with it the need to extend intranets beyond their local range to be able to enable dissemination of information and communication. Organizations with branches and practices disseminate beyond a common geographical region gain probably the most from this technology.
The VPN idea has been tapped to provide important price added services, at a somewhat low priced and increased quality on the other hand to companies made available from normal system providers. The latter presents infrastructural solutions, an illustration being knowledge center hosting and site-to-site connectivity. However, VPN services virtualized the company entity around the same infrastructure as much as possible. It practically gives methods such as for example system infrastructure, protection, rural and instant access. Each company is custom made for specific customers. The goal with this support is to meet their individual needs.
The current computing environment has a high concentrated risk of being violated by events prohibited to get into them. This concern with the possible violation of confidentiality has led persons to get precautions in the way they entry distant services.
These services defend them from probable intrusion, by reassigning IP addresses, hiding the geographic precise location of the individual, and privacyenbescherming information, also referred to as cover my IP. That presents solitude for an individual, since their data moves are encrypted. Test reasons why a person may possibly go for VPN services contain:-
Avoiding geographical Net limitations - Some organizations like TV businesses, might limit entry for their companies over the internet to just individuals in confirmed geographical area. Factors which could effect that include dilemmas to do with licensing. Utilizing a VPN support will make one appear like positioned in the exact same geographical region whilst the located area of the server.

Creativity, Inc. – Embracing Failure

Picked up Creativity, Inc. again last night. Came across the quote below while reading. I love how this explains so many things I’ve encountered in the work force.

There’s a quick way to determine if your company has embraced the negative definition of failure. Ask yourself what happens when an error is discovered. Do people shut down and turn inward, instead of coming together to untangle the causes of problems that might be avoided going forward? Is the question being asked: Whose fault was this? If so, your culture is one that vilifies failure. Failure is difficult enough without it being compounded by the search for a scapegoat.

In a fear-based, failure-averse culture, people will consciously or unconsciously avoid risk. They will seek instead to repeat something safe that’s been good enough in the past. Their work will be derivative, not innovative. But if you can foster a positive understanding of failure, the opposite will happen.

What discussion of horror can be complete without going into the works of HP Lovecraft?  Second only to Edgar Allan Poe in helping create the cornerstones of modern horror (Poe will be getting his own post later this week), HP Lovecraft’s stories have been the basis of countless horror and science-fiction movies, books and video games. Even if you don’t know it, you have read, watched or listened to something that was inspired or based off of the works of HP Lovecraft. Did you enjoy watching The Thing featuring Kurt Russel? A movie about a strange alien of an unknown origin and unknowable motives suddenly appearing on Earth and killing humans? Yeah, that has HP Lovecraft all over it. The Dead Space series of video games features strange alien forces and the insane humans who worship them, both primary themes in all of Lovecraft’s works. An even closer adaptation is the more recent Amnesia: Dark Descent, a game so god damn scary I didn’t even make it past the title screen.

So what makes Lovecraft stand out? What made his stories so different from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, HG Wells War of the Worlds or my forebear (okay not really, but shut up, I can dream if I want to!)Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde?

Where as so many horror movies focus on creatures or people actively hating and hunting the protagonist or humanity as a whole, HP Lovecraft’s monsters were often completely indifferent to human life. Don’t get me wrong, people die or lose their minds by the truckload in Lovecraft’s stories, but it was rarely ever driven by malevolence or cruelty. Take Cthulu for example, he (she? it?) would undoubtedly destroy the world if ever he were released from R’lyeh, but it’s not because Cthulu has a bone to pick with humanity, quite the opposite. Humanity is just so insignificant, so utterly unimportant in the cosmic scheme of things, that Cthulu wouldn’t even think twice about sweeping us away to make room for whatever plans he had. Do construction workers take any notice of the anthill they swept aside and buried under three feet of concrete? No they don’t. Do you take any time to consider how many millions of bacteria you heartlessly kill every day when you wash your hands, or bleach your dirty clothes? Of course not.

That’s what sets Lovecraft apart from the multitudes of horror writers, he was one of the first modern writers to tap into one of our darkest and most secret fear: the fear of being unimportant, of being insignificant. We all want to matter, it’s why we have friends and form relationships, and fall in love. It’s why people go into politics, and forge multibillion dollar companies. It’s also why some people go on a shooting spree or become serial killers. We want to be remembered, to be important, to know that our time here wasn’t just a huge cosmic joke. It’s a fear that is very rarely discussed, and that’s not a surprise. Our delusion of importance is really the only thing that keeps us sane, because if we were to acknowledge just  how utterly insignificant we are in the grand scope of the universe, we’d all curl up in the fetal position and cry until we starved to death.

And you’ll notice that’s exactly what many of Lovecraft’s characters do, they simply lose their minds and die of shock. Whereas many horror stories rely on straight up murder and mayhem, Lovecraft took a much more subtle approach. Oh you occasionally get the gruesome, turned-inside-out bodies of unfortunate souls, but more often than not, the characters simply lose their minds and their will to live. In The Call of Cthulu many of the sailors that look on Cthulu immediately lose their minds and leap into the ocean or fall into a catatonic state. Cthulu doesn’t need to kill them, all he has to do is show his face and they do the job for him.

What, are you trying to say I’m ugly?

Of course Lovecraft’s work wasn’t without its faults. He often said he thought he should have been born in the 18th century, and was a huge fan of authors like Jonathan Swift and, obviously, Edgar Allan Poe. There’s nothing wrong with that of course, I love Mark Twain and Charles Dickens’s work myself, but unfortunately his admiration for Swift and Poe translated into using the same vocabulary and cadence as them in his writing. That’s part of what made his stories so good, his narrative voice is extremely unique and the often archaic terminology lends a great sense of “otherness” and oldness to the story. Unfortunately that doesn’t come across so well in his dialogue, which is perhaps the worst you’re likely to find outside of Hollywood horror movies.

Frequently in Lovecraft’s work the main character will come across someone who knows about whatever horror is lurking in the darkness, and then go about trying to describe it. The problem here is often that the people don’t sound authentic, like I can’ t imagine anyone speaking like Lovecraft’s characters do. If I had just looked upon the face of a twisted elder god bent on destruction, I wouldn’t be getting all flowery with the descriptions. I’d be saying something more along the lines of “ARRRRGGGHHH! MMOOOMMMMMYYY!” along with a lot of whimpering and crying. Lovecraft often had the bad habit of abusing the ellipsis as well, especially when his characters were dying or losing their minds. You’ll see this quite a bit on the internet nowadays, unfortunately, people…using…those…three…little…periods…to…make…their…statements…seem…more…intelligent. As you can see though, actually reading something with that many ellipses makes for a stilted and stuttering experience. An ellipses is a strategic weapon for writers, something to be used sparingly and only when the time is right. Lovecraft carpet bombed his dialogue with the little bastards, making all of his dying, insane or whispering characters seem like a group speech-therapy session.

None of this is to say that HP Lovecraft wasn’t a great writer, however. He’s one of the best, one of the great writers of the 20th century and reading his stories is like reading the origin of species of horror writing. You can see the beginnings of writers like Stephen King and Phillip Pullman, who built their own great stories on top of the foundations laid by Lovecraft. If you like something scary, you can thank HP Lovecraft’s twisted imagination for thinking it up. He loved scaring people, and that was something he was exceedingly good at.

Which isn’t surprising since he had a face that could frighten small children.

Later this week I’ll be covering the scary, sexy topic of sex and its paradoxically close relationship with horror. Safe for work as always. Keep your eyes peeled!

  1. Yeehaa, youve heard our longing for Lovecraft 😀
    I read only a few of his short stories but i loved them ^^ And im definitely about to read more of them in near future 😉 After ive read through that awkward pile of books behind me ^^ but maybe now, during the dark part of the year, winter, i will show some credit to one of the grandmasters of my belovehated horror genre 😀

    Really, you didnt make it through the title in amnesia? 😉
    Oh i can tell you it was the same to me when i first started the game 😀 Well, id suggest you give it another try once in a while, and to encourage you, ill give you a small tip: Try to make it through the first two “sections”. There are doors which limit the levels. So, play the game until you get to the second loading screen. If you think you can handle more, go for more. The game starts out slowly, keep that in mind 😀 I had to tell that myself all the time to not mash my keyboard to pieces with my shaky hand xD I have to admit i enjoyed the first quarter of the game the most…its really something special 😉

    1. Full disclosure, I did make it through more than the title screen of Amnesia :P, that was for comic effect. I didn’t actually make it through the whole game though. My poor heart only made it through half of the game at most.

So apologies for my long silence everyone, but exciting things have been afoot. About three weeks ago I applied for a job with Microsoft as a Game Writer, which has pretty much been my dream job since I began writing professionally. I didn’t actually take it that seriously at first so I slapped together a sample piece of writing in about fifteen minutes, and sent it in,  figuring there’d be a long line of qualified writers with years of previous game writing experience behind them. Compared to industry veterans, what chance would I have? Well it turns out I had a really good chance, because I heard back from the recruiter almost immediately.  After talking with him over the phone, he said I sounded like a great candidate and he’d forward my name on to the project lead at Microsoft. All of that took place over the course of about two weeks, two weeks of delirious happiness. Had I finally made it as a writer?

I spoke with the team leader at Microsoft last Monday and was, unfortunately, completely unprepared for the kinds of questions he was asking. He asked me to describe my creative process and… well I couldn’t really give a coherent answer. I told him I make a general outline, and there are usually a couple of drafts I go through, but that’s it. I can’t describe how I write, I just sit down and do it. The rest of the questions were similar, how would I interact with the team? How would I work side by side with a graphic artist? How would I interact with stakeholders? I did my best to give coherent answers, but I think most it was just rambling. How would I interact with these people? I have no idea, I won’t know until I meet them and get a clearer picture of what kind of work I’m doing. That’s why I was really hoping to get an in-person interview, where it’s easier to get a feel for people thanks to all those subtle, subconscious clues we get like body language.

A firm handshake can be the key to getting a job... also a bribe never hurts.
A firm handshake can be the key to getting a job… also a bribe never hurts.

Unfortunately last Thursday I found out that I didn’t get the job. I’ll admit, this was a crushing disappointment and I’ve spent much of the last week just moping around feeling bad for myself. After mentally regrouping however, I’ve taken stock of what I accomplished; I manage to impress enough people that I got to talk with the project lead at Microsoft! Not only that, but the guy read my blog and revealed he worked on Bioshock: Infinite before Irrational Games closed and that he really enjoyed my articles on the subject. Microsoft is a notoriously difficult company to get a job with, and I managed to get a phone interview with a project leader! Most people don’t even get past the job application.

That’s not meant to be a boast, but rather my own realization that I have real talent. I didn’t attract attention through a long, impressive resume or an impressive educational pedigree, it was entirely my writing. A piece of writing I wasn’t even taking seriously because I figured there wasn’t an ice cube’s chance in hell I’d get the job. Clearly I’m doing something right, the last twenty years I’ve spent writing haven’t been for nothing. Scribbling stories out as a little kid about dinosaurs and ninjas, the aborted novels I tried writing as a teenager, and the four years I’ve been working on this blog have all been contributing to my future. Part of me is always doubting, maybe I’m at talentless hack and I’ve been merely deluding myself for all these years. Attracting the attention of a huge company like Microsoft though, that’s not just a fluke. I didn’t make it through four levels of interviews because of dumb luck.

So no, I didn’t get the job, but holy shit I came so close! And next time I get an opportunity I’ll be more prepared for the questions they’ll ask, and I’ll spend more time on the writing sample, because now I know… I’m a good writer. And for someone who lives to tell stories, that means everything to me.

“Write without pay until someone offers pay. If nobody offers within three years, the candidate may look upon this as a sign that sawing wood is what he was intended for.” – Mark Twain

Mark Twain's quote on writing.

No wood chopping for this writer, no sir. I’m going places.

And the first place I’ll be going is a little blue box that travels through space and time. Keep an eye out for it later this week.

Fuzzy multiattribute consumer choice among health insurance options

    Cengiz Kahraman Affiliation
    ; Asli Suder Affiliation
    ; Ebru Turanoglu Bekar Affiliation

People buy insurance to protect themselves against possible financial loss in the future. Health insurance provides protection against the possibility of financial loss due to health care use. A selection among health insurance options is a multiattribute decision making problem including many conflicting criteria. This problem can be better solved using the fuzzy set theory since human decision making is generally based on vague and linguistic data. We propose an integrated methodology composed of fuzzy AHP and fuzzy TOPSIS to select the best health insurance option. The considered option types, Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), and Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) are evaluated using eight different criteria under fuzziness. A sensitivity analysis is also realized.

We know there's a concept for all Jewish men (in the times of the Beis Hamikdash) to go to Jerusalem for the 3 holidays of sukkos Pesach and Shavuos.

Is there any source to go for Rosh Hashona or Yom Kippur?

If not, is there a reason why not? (And people should specifically stay home or there's just no Mitzvah to go.)

  • 1
    "If not, why not?" Why should there be? If you reason to suspect such an obligation ought exist, please edit to clarify – Double AA Sep 17 '15 at 0:04

As DanF already answered, the Torah only commands us to go for the 3 festivals.

However, if you look in the Mishna in Yoma, 7:2, and its commentators, you will learn that there were people who attended the Yom Kippur services in the Bet HaMikdash - and that it was a Mitzva to do so.

הָרוֹאֶה כֹהֵן גָּדוֹל כְּשֶׁהוּא קוֹרֵא, אֵינוֹ רוֹאֶה פַר וְשָׂעִיר הַנִּשְׂרָפִים. וְהָרוֹאֶה פַר וְשָׂעִיר הַנִּשְׂרָפִים, אֵינוֹ רוֹאֶה כֹהֵן גָּדוֹל כְּשֶׁהוּא קוֹרֵא. וְלֹא מִפְּנֵי שֶׁאֵינוֹ רַשַּׁאי, אֶלָּא שֶׁהָיְתָה דֶרֶךְ רְחוֹקָה, וּמְלֶאכֶת שְׁנֵיהֶן שָׁוָה כְאֶחָת

One who saw the High Priest reading the Torah couldn't see the goat and bull being burnt. And vice-versa. Not because it was forbidden, but because they happened simultaneously at 2 locations far away from each other.

The Bartenura there explains that watching the Yom Kippur service being performed is a Mitzva.

וּרְאִיַּת עֲבוֹדָה מִצְוָה הִיא מִשּׁוּם בְּרֹב עַם הַדְרַת מֶלֶךְ

From a practical aspect, keep in mind that between Yom Kippur and Sukkoth there are 4 days (and often one of them is Shabbat). So those that lived further away would probably plan to be in Jerusalem by Yom Kippur so as not to be "camping out" during the fast day.

Deuteronomy 16:16:

שָׁל֣וֹשׁ פְּעָמִ֣ים ׀ בַּשָּׁנָ֡ה יֵרָאֶ֨ה כָל־זְכוּרְךָ֜ אֶת־פְּנֵ֣י ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ בַּמָּקוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִבְחָ֔ר בְּחַ֧ג הַמַּצּ֛וֹת וּבְחַ֥ג הַשָּׁבֻע֖וֹת וּבְחַ֣ג הַסֻּכּ֑וֹת וְלֹ֧א יֵרָאֶ֛ה אֶת־פְּנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה רֵיקָֽם׃

Modified Sefaria.org translation:

Three times in a year shall all your males appear before the LORD your God in the place which He shall choose; on the feast of unleavened bread (Pesach), and on the feast of weeks (Shavu'ot), and on the feast of tabernacles (Succot); and they shall not appear before the LORD empty;

The Torah specifies the pilgrimage to Jersualem on only these 3 holidays, not Rosh Hashannah or Yom Kippur.

People don't need to stay home, but there is no mitzvah of pilgrimage (aliyah l'regel)on these other days. I'm surmising that the reason is that the 3 days mentioned, there is also a mitzvah of joy and celebration. (See surrounding verses in that section, Devarim ch. 16.) It is more difficult to feel complete joy and celebration when people are in awe and fear on the days of Judgement on Rosh Hashanna and Yom Kippur.

With Yom Kippur, in particular, it would be a contradiction as there is a mitzvah to eat and drink in Jerusalem during the pilgrimages - somethimng that you cannot do on Yom Kippur.

Description: The large-scale collage of sponge paintings and marks made from gel is arranged in a loose scatter that can simultaneously read mid-century and punk. Three colorways: gold on charcoal, celeste [blue] on cream, champagne on cream.

Shadows tell just part of the story. They withhold some too. The discipline of architecture that studies the shadows cast by or upon buildings is called sciography. Lawrence Weiner's PLACED UPON THE HORIZON (CASTING SHADOWS), 1990, is one of my favorite pieces of public art.
I remember seeing it, (caught unawares), and being confused and amazed by the building and the words. Thought: there must be bigger, secret worlds beyond me, or maybe there are bigger secret worlds for me.

This Cat Hitting A High Note Is All Anyone’s Talking About Today

We could have had it ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

cat memes

As we all know, the internet was invented purely as a means of digitally storing, sharing and editing images of cats. Everything else the internet can do or has done is secondary to cats.

So today it’s great to get back to the basics of this whole damn system of wires (?) with some A-grade feline-focused content.

Look at this cat! Look at this abnormally fluffy and rotund cat! YOU MUST LOOK AT THE CAT!

This cat is the internet’s favourite cat today with just one tweet of the fuzzball setting off a storm of semi-virality, all around people guessing what song she appears to be belting out.

Are we certain the cat is singing and not perhaps crying out in guttural anguish to the empty black abyss that is existence, performing a futile expression of its ceaseless ennui? No, we do not. But fuck it let’s all just pretend it’s definitely singing.

Some of the responses to the query of “what song is kitty singing” are as expected, with badass belters Whitney, Mariah and Adele all getting numerous votes as well as Queen, of course. It’s the more obscure guesses, such as ‘Smelly Cat’ and a particularly astute Brooklyn 99 reference that really tickled us.

Of course, the cat got memed as well, in the style of our very own Jimmy Barnes Screams From Behind A Mountain From That Weird Kirin J Callinan Music Video Meme. You know the one…

Thank you singing cat, for everything. Fingers crossed you don’t turn out to be a huge racist! I hate when that happens!

I do like to buy a book, pages all crisp and new. It is the front cover that attracts me to the book, not the title or the author, I look all along the shelf and immediately there are always two or three that will jump out at me. Then I read the title and what it is about and finally the author and if all that is a yes it goes in the basket.

I like a lot of authors work now so I tend to know what their books are about from the social media sites and then I go to the book shop and look for that one in particular. Most times ending up buying a couple while I am there.

It is a shame that small book stores are struggling now as they are so friendly and helpful, always having time to stop and have a chat about the latest releases. They cannot compete with the supermarkets doing deals like three for £10 and I think we are all guilty of putting some in the trolly with the monthly shopping. Lets face it that is a bargain and the choice is getting very varied now as demand is growing.

What about the ebooks? The choice is far and wide, selling for such small amounts or even free for a lot of the time. You can view them on almost anything now from your phone to iPad or laptop and if your memory is big enough you can keep them. But is it like a book, you hold it if its small enough, you turn the pages on it, it just does not have the smell of a nice new book or even an old book with memories of the people that have read it, sometimes writing their name in it. Do you get the same satisfaction from reading an ebook?

I have collected books that have been signed by the author, you cannot do that with an ebook. I like to see bookshelves in people’s homes, looking at their varied taste a bit like their music collection. But even the music has gone digital no need to buy CD’s now just buy it from iTunes, so we will not be able to see people’s music collection or their book collection. We will not need book shelves or CD racks, minimalistic homes we will become.

I have got some ebooks but not read any of them, I read a couple of pages and it just does not feel the same. Give me a book, old or new and I will read it and probably keep it until I have to get rid of some to the charity book shop so I can fit new ones on the shelves…..there is a limit to how many shelves you can fit in, I have four and no more room. I have some of my grandparents old books but I just cannot let them go, they are part of them and my history.

Lets all buy a book and support our brilliant authors!

My great Aunts poetry book, she even penciled in the ones she liked. I only ever had to learn one poem and that was The Brook by Tennyson. One of her cookery books.

Who used to read the comic Jackie? My Nan and Grandad had it delivered for me with the newspaper, I was always up early that morning. When I took Izzy to meet Jacqueline Wilson she was saying how she worked at the publishers that first printed Jackie and they took the name from her.

Beckenham Place Park ‘reopens’ – and looks great

Beckenham Place Park ‘reopens’ – and looks great

This Saturday (20 July) is the official opening of Beckenham Place Park, south-east London’s largest green space (well, before you get to Petts Wood). There’s a fantastic new 283-metre-long lake fed by water from an aquifer 50-odd metres down via a bore hole, which will be available for open-air swimming, canoeing and paddleboarding (swimming will be £3 per session). Aquatic plants around the lake should help to absorb nutrients, thus purifying the water, and oxygen pumps will help keep it clear of unwanted weeds and algae. A family of egyptian geese and another of mallards has already moved in and egrets have been spotted stalking around. Still loads of bloody noisy parakeets though.

It all looks fantastic, in an area lacking open air swimming facilities since the 1980s but, slightly worryingly, some people have jumped the gun and each evening push aside the barriers to take to the waters. Dogs are another issue with owners allowing their pooches to enter the water – this will not be permitted after the opening, which is good, much as I love dogs.

I’ve walked around lots lately and loved the feel of the place in Friday evening’s drizzle and low cloud. It was quiet, the meadows were gorgeous under the grey sky and there weren’t many in the delightful little bar that’s popped up in the mansion.

Triathlons will be held in the park from autumn onwards. A concert featuring Neneh Cherry and a host of DJs and pretty cool nu-jazz acts will take place in the park on 27 July, tickets (£45 adults) here.

More Dungeness dallying

More Dungeness dallying

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I usually visit Dungeness in winter for some reason. But on Saturday I chose the hottest day of the year to drop by the surreal headland jutting out into the English Channel. The place was awash with deep blue viper’s-bugloss flowers; very atmospheric and spectacular. The two-mile walk around the RSPB reserve was exceptional and we saw a bittern – a first for me – reed buntings, snipes and sedge warblers.

After a quick pint at the Britannia pub and a stroll in the shingle looking out for seals and porpoises, which everyone else sees but I don’t, we headed for the bedlam of Camber Sands. Miraculously a space became available in one of the car parks as we arrived (it was 6pm but as many people were arriving as leaving) and we got our cooling dip in. The water was particularly brown, however, perhaps because the tide was on the way in and picking up a lot of sediment. One hopes so. There was still time for a walk at Rye and a pizza before the drive up the A21 back to south-east London. Great day out but to squeeze all that in a car is needed really. You could take a train to Ashford then the connecting train to Rye, and a bus, I guess. You’d have to set off a lot earlier than we did though.

Awesome orchid wonderland

Awesome orchid wonderland

I was bowled over by the wildflowers on the Fackenden Down walk yesterday. I’ve never seen so many orchids; with yellow trefoil and tall ox-eye daisies blazing away as a background some of the meadows were mesmerising. Full credit to those managing the sites of special scientific interest at Magpie Bottom, Austin Spring and Fackenden Down along to White Hill (Kent Wildlife Trust in conjunction with local landowners?). Their hard work has produced a superb return. I’m not good at identifying orchids beyond the pyramidal variety, but I’ll give it a shot for the photos.

To strike a more negative note, I got the feeling there should still be more insects enjoying this abundance; there were plenty of bees around but not a lot else (a few marbled white butterflies, the odd peacock butterfly and red admiral notwithstanding). There was a distinct lack of swallows, martins and swifts, too. These species haven’t made it to these shores in great numbers this year it seems and that could be because of the effect of insecticides. But anyway, a beautiful and memorable walk.

And remember, this wonderland is only 50 minutes direct on the train from Peckham Rye, with the walk starting opposite Shoreham station.

Downe Downe deeper Downe

Downe Downe deeper Downe

I’ve always liked that Status Quo song ever since I was a young teenager. I’m no headbanger but it’s got energy and drive – which Kent walkers have in abundance of course.

GPX dodgy and iffy instructions

I did both Downe walks this weekend. The weather was distinctly iffy so I couldn’t be bothered to go far. So I did the new longer Downe walk on Saturday and the usual shorter one on Sunday with my wife. She was not too impressed by my instructions; “too wordy” she said in a slightly irritated fashion after about 50 yards. My attention was somewhat distracted by a B-17 Flying Fortress flying low overhead, but then she pointed out I had omitted to mention any stiles and gates and thought my ‘line of trees’ was really a wood. It made me realise that we all see things a bit differently and that I’m so familiar with the walk that I was imagining rather than actually seeing. That’s quite a phenomenon – try describing your walk to the station or to the office… it’s so obvious to you but you suddenly realise that you’ve completely misdescribed a house or a shop.

Compounding the unclear directions is the uncomfortable fact that the GPX tracks I’m pointing people to on the website are distinctly dodgy. On Saturday it was only right 50% of the time; often the blue dot marking your ‘live’ location would linger unhappily in a nearby road or layby. No idea why. Could be a signal thing or a sign you are running out of data, a position I’m very familiar with. Today, on the short Downe walk, the GPX was inaccurate the whole time. I’ll have to redo the track, maybe using a different website but then there might just be something about Downe, deeper Downe.

Here’s the pdf for the new instructions for Walk 1 Downe Circular. Gratitude to my wife for opening my eyes and apologies to anyone I’ve misled. And here is, hopefully, a more reliable GPX track.

By the way, I’ve learnt a new wildflower name and I’m going to use it. Birds-foot-trefoil. It’s small and yellow and spectacular at Downe, particularly in the meadows close to Darwin’s house (of course!). Apparently the plant is a staple in the diet of caterpillars of common blue, silver-studded blue and wood white butterflies. There are also pyramidal orchids at the moment in the the hillside fields that end the walk.

Hillside field point 7-8, Downe

A longer Downe route – my walk 20

A longer Downe route – my walk 20

Here’s a longer Downe route to follow; double the length of the existing Downe walk at 4.2 miles, so a pleasant 90-minute walk. See, download pdf or use GPX track from this page

It can be viewed on the GPSies site where a GPX track is available for you to download and follow on your smartphone (to get your real-time location tap the bottom-most button on the left of the screen).

The route starts and finishes at the same locations as the original Downe walk. The extension misses out on the lovely fields by Charles Darwin’s garden (although they are an easy detour away) and the Sandwalk but gains the superb ancient woods of Blackbush and Twenty Acre Shaw Woods with its superb April bluebells then orchids and gentians.

Last bluebells, Downe

Ancient woods: Blackbush and Twenty Acre Shaw

Yesterday the trees were rich with the calls of song thrush, chaffinch and wrens (so loud… and weird!). A sharp thundery looking storm slipped by to the south, on its way to Tonbridge and Sevenoaks (pictured). After the woods the walk joins the valley on the eastern border of the historic Biggin Hill airfield. Hedgerows, giant beeches and wild meadows make this a really rich looking habitat for flora and fauna; yesterday I saw nuthatches, greater spotted woodpeckers and a wonderful large tortoiseshell butterfly. Full description of walk here, but the GPX track should get you round easily enough.

Next walk to be added to this site: Knockholt Pound/Chevening circular. By end of June.

Bough Beech – the lake you can’t quite get to

Bough Beech – the lake you can’t quite get to

From the heights of Emmett’s Gardens, perched on the Greensand Ridge by Ide Hill, the reservoir at Bough Beech off to the south looks so inviting on a hot summer’s day – a cool dash of blue among shades of green, dotted with the white of small sailing dinghies breezily tacking this way and that.

On a hot day you might even think: “Cor, let’s get down there, hire a boat, a pedalo, splash about, perhaps a bit of waterskiing, finish off with a swim followed up by a nifty little sundowner in a trendy bar surrounded by people almost as slick as me.”

Crushing disappointment awaits you; none of these things are possible. True, there is a sailing club and it does have a bar (at the weekends at least) but its home page proclaims it is “run by the members for the members”. Which is lovely … for the members. Fair enough. All good.

Oh well, we can’t get on the lake to cool us off on a summer’s day, so how about a picnic in a delightful meadow with a spot of paddling in the softly lapping water?

Er… absolutely not! Much of the lake’s boundary is a nature reserve and you can’t get close to the water. Again … OK, fine. Nature is good, we love nature, even if we can’t touch it  – in fact it’s best if we don’t touch it.

Right, we can’t go in it or stop next to it. We’ll just have to walk or cycle round it while enjoying views across it, in the same way as you can at the extraordinarily pricey Bewl Water, an even larger reservoir not that far away. I suspect you may by now have worked out the format of this post and are anticipating me writing “Sorry, but you can’t walk round it”.

Sorry, but you can’t walk round it. I did try a couple of times with no real luck. Although there is a nice walk nearby that goes to Bore Place organic farm and takes in some nice little meadows and woods. You can even glimpse the reservoir if you crane your neck.

Where you can almost see the lake

Ah, here’s the Kent Wildlife Trust to the rescue. I read the KWT has a visitor centre in an oast house, a habitat reserve, nature trail and bird hides. There are picnic tables, and a car park. Big whoop! We’ve got our beautiful lakeside view after all, co-existing nicely with nature. Haven’t we?

Don’t be so naive, joker. It’s closed down. Now it’s an educational facility for some school or other. You can’t go in. Anyway, even when KWT ran it you could barely see the lake from the visitors’ centre. And the nature trail went for about a third of a mile close to the reservoir’s western edge without quite giving you a view of it. Well, it did at one point, but there’s a huge fence in the way to prevent people from messing with nature. Then you had to walk back on a country lane down which vast 4WD vehicles hurtle along at colossal speeds.

Bough Beech

There it is! Bough Beech

I’m told the ex-KWT site is still a great spot for birdwatching (even us dullards spotted greylag geese and great crested grebe) and you can indeed still use the bird hides and unleash your binocular power. Don’t expect any riveting conversation. It’ll most likely be “Seen the osprey?” Suspicious look, “who’s asking?”. Birdwatchers aren’t always the most communicative. (Not my mate Dave though, he’s brilliant.) Bough Beech does in fact have ospreys from time to time – not a beast fond of beautiful natural areas being opened up to the masses for frolicking.

Damn it. We’ll have to just drive around the lake on the adjacent country lanes, admiring it from various viewpoints. Off we go. We pass a sign that seems to be warning us about frogs. Oh I see, they cross the road here.

Ah, mmmmm, the lake should be over there … no – there’s woods, there’s fields… it’s over there somewhere, but now there’s a shallow hill in the way. Bloody hell, I give up – you can see it from Emmett’s but I’m beginning to think it was a mirage, it doesn’t exist. I’ll have to join the yacht people.

There it is!

Hold on though, what’s that? Suddenly there it is; a roadside vista of Bough Beech lake. And you can park up. In the northeast corner of the lake, close to the KWT reserve, there’s a causeway traversed by a lane; handily there’s a pavement so it’s a good spot to get out of the car and have a gaze and a twitch maybe. The photos here were taken from there.

Bough Beech reservoir

I suppose Bough Beech lake might be ruined if we were able to do what we want on it and around it. So really I’m glad I can’t organise a barbecue on a summer’s evening on the shoreline, and that there’s not a kiosk charging £7 to plonk one’s jam jar there with an ice cream van for company. I’m delighted not to be able to pedalo on it – disturbing the geese – or cycle round it – and risk squashing toads.

I rest easy at night knowing I haven’t had a snifter while watching the sun go down over this elusive but idyllic spot. But suddenly my sleep is broken; I jolt upright – did I just run over a frog?

Bough Beech/Bore Place walk

Fabulous Fackenden

Fabulous Fackenden

The Fackenden Down walk is such a winner at all times of year – and it’s so easy to get to from SE London, because it starts right outside Shoreham train station. In yesterday’s perfect weather wildflowers illuminated the hillsides and meadows; cirrus clouds offered a dramatic dreamscape high above and incessant birdsong filled the air. So many highlights on this walk: the bit when you leave the ancient beech wood and enter the timeless Magpie Bottom valley is my favourite. And the distant views of the City and the Shard from Romney Street are dramatic too. I was disappointed to see my team lose in the Champions League final later on (yet so thankful we got to the final) but the memories of the walk compensated. I created a GPX track of the walk too… so going off-route is now impossible (if you have a smartphone that is). The walk does have some steep sections though, so take it easy.

Interactive pdf of walk (to print or download on phone) is here.
