Prince : 2013 Billboard Music Awards

Ronald McNair Was First Musician In Space

Editor's Corner

By Environment Man

 

I am troubled by the accolades being heaped upon space station astronaut Chris Hadfield, right, for his musical performace of David Bowie's "Space Oddity.' It is being touted as the first music video in space.

My trouble comes from Ronald McNair (left), who happens to be black, being overlooked as the first astronaut to record a song in space. Unfortunately, the song was 'accidently' recorded over, which is suspect to me. He was to record another song on his second space flight but the Challenger exploded after take off. We know you were first Ron, but this sort of thing has happened too often in America's past.

Gas Pump Couple Does Bon Jovi & Annie Lennox

"Tonight Show" prank, in which a talking head on a gas pump screen charmingly bantered with Will Sims. Sims took the prank in-stride and then, with the help of his wife, Monifa, the couple dipped into some impromptu karaoke with more charisma and musical talent than an episode of "American Idol."

Movie fiction or Hollywood secret?

Over the years we have seen many movies neglect the fact that it takes energy to get around. From the movie "Red" starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and John Malkovich where they seemingly drove to over 3-4 states on one tank of gas. To the remake of "Red Dawn" where gas was only used for explosions. The real question is are the writers just neglecting the fact that it takes some type of fuel to transport from place to place or have they figured out the secret and don`t want to share. I noticed while watching the movie "Looper" for the the third time that the cars were recycling the exhaust from the cars with a combination of solar panels.

This made me start to wonder is this what they do to make cars go to extreme lengths? Think about it when is the last time you saw a picture of a celebrity at a gas station and filled up. Even though with hydraulic fracturing there is no need for any of these systems it is always a mind teaser to think Hollywood is more then smoke and mirrors. Fossil fuels will always be the main way to feed your need for speed but there is nothing wrong with making every drop go farther. As movies progress hopefully writers and directors will finally figure out that you can keep a person into the story a little more with just one refuel scene.

Crystal Good - Affrilachian Poet

Crystal Good is a writer poet. Quantum Christian. Tunk player. Libra charmer. Underdog cheerleader.

 

 

Affrilachian Poet and native West Virginian Crystal Good reads "BOOM BOOM," a poem reflecting on strip mined mountains and women who take off their clothes for money. Good says, "I see the mountain as a woman. This poem is about strip mining as much as it is about gender. A heavy equipment operator working on an above ground mine site is doing what he feels he has to do -- sometimes life doesn't give us many options and sometimes the consequences of few employment options are more than we expected. It's hard for a stripper to reclaim her reputation -- it's impossible to put back a stream or a mountain top once it's gone." 

As a member of the Affrilachian (African-American- Appalachian) Poets, she has been a featured poet/speaker at several universities and colleges. “Valley Girl” is her first book of poetry. The poems explore themes in quantum physics, Appalachian culture, gender equality, and mountaintop removal. She is dedicated to growing opportunities and the quality of life for West Virginians with the hope of spreading the perseverance of a Mountaineer across America. Crystal Good lives in West Virginia with her three sons.

Oprah Seeks Trademarks For Organic Foods

Oprah Winfrey is reportedly getting into the organic foods and products business.  According to online filings for the US Patent and Trademark Organization, several applications for “Oprah’s Organics” were filed late last month. The filings are to use the name for bath soaps, sunscreen, massage oils, hair products — and also for organic salad dressings and frozen vegetables, soups, beverages and snack dips.

Applications for “Oprah’s Farm” for a beverage and catering service and “Oprah’s Harvest” were also submitted for this fall. The addresses for the applicant’s include the Wilshire Boulevard addresses of Winfrey’s business and the Chicago address of Winfrey’s Harpo Inc., offices.

Winfrey already owns hundreds of acres in Maui, which include a large farm and a bed and breakfast. The trademarks were filed for Oprah’s farm on Maui to enable the farm to grow and distribute produce on Maui and throughout the Hawaiian Islands. (New York Post, 11/11/2012)

Rolling Stones 'Gloom & Doom' Fracks

"Gloom and Doom," the Stones' first new song in six years (off their latest greatest hits compilation, GRRR!).  The Rolling Stones are are singing about zombies and fracking.  “Doom and Gloom,” their first new new single in six years, was released last week.

Around minute 2:25, there are lyrics on hydraulic fracturing:

“Fracking deep for oil, but there’s nothing in the sump/There’s kids all picking at the garbage dump/I’m running out of water so I better prime the pump/I am trying to stay sober but I end up drunk …”

We like the song.  Very strong backbeat.  And rocking guitar.  Don't know if the Stones are that informed about fracking though.

Cloud Atlas


"Cloud Atlas" ia a movie directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski that explores how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution. The movie is based on the 2004 novel Cloud Atlas, the third book by British author David Mitchell. With six storylines (ranging from the 19th century to the post-apocalyptic future), actors like Tom Hanks and Halle Berry in multiple roles. 

The movie, like the novel consists of six stories that take the reader from the remote South Pacific in the nineteenth century to a distant, post-apocalyptic future. Each tale is revealed to be a story that is read (or observed) by the main character in the next. All stories but the last are interrupted at some moment, and after the sixth story concludes at the center of the book, the novel "goes back" in time, "closing" each story as the book progresses in terms of pages but regresses in terms of the historical period in which the action takes place. Eventually, readers end where they started, with Adam Ewing in the Pacific Ocean, circa 1850.

The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing
Pacific Ocean, circa 1850. Adam Ewing, an American notary's account of a voyage home from the remote Chatham Islands, east of New Zealand. The next character discovers this story as a diary on his patron's bookshelf.

Letters from Zedelghem
Zedelgem, Belgium, 1931. Robert Frobisher, a penniless young English musician, finds work as an a composer living in Belgium. This story is saved in the form of letters to his friend (and implied lover) Rufus Sixsmith, which the next character discovers after meeting Sixsmith.

Half-Lives: The First Luisa Rey Mystery.
Buenas Yerbas, California, 1975. Luisa Rey, a journalist, investigates reports that a new nuclear power plant is unsafe, with the help of Sixsmith who as a respected nuclear physicist has become a whistleblower. The next character is sent this story in the mail, in the form of a manuscript for a novel.

The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish
United Kingdom, early 21st century. Timothy Cavendish, a vanity press publisher, flees the brothers of his gangster client. He gets confined against his will in a nursing home from which he cannot escape. The next character watches a movie dramatisation of this story.

An Orison of Sonmi~451
Nea So Copros (Korea), near future. Sonmi~451, a genetically-engineered fabricant (clone) server at Papa Song's diner (a proxy for large fast-dining chains), is interviewed before her execution after she rebels against the totalitarian society that created and exploited her kind. The next character watches Sonmi's story projected holographically in an "orison," a futuristic recording device.

Sloosha's Crossin' an' Ev'rythin' After
Hawaii, post-apocalyptic distant future. Zachry, a tribesman living a primitive life after most of humanity dies during "the Fall," is visited by Meronym, a member of the last remnants of technologically-advanced civilization. This story is told when the protagonist is an old man, to seemingly random strangers around a campfire. (Wiki)



Revolution - Electricity Analysis

In this Fall's new NBC TV series "Revolution," every single piece of technology - computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights - has mysteriously blacked out forever. "Revolution" is also about family that ultimately must re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if - or how - it will ever return.  Our interest is in examining how and why the electricity stopped functioning.

First it could not happend by accident. Some nefarious technology definitely cause the total global outage. Wow.  What a weapon.  But something went wrong.  Kind of like the first nuclear bomb test when the scientists were not sure that it wouldn't ignite the entire atmosphere.  They set it off anyway.  Fortunately the entire atmosphere did not ignite.  In the case of the electricity neutralization weapon, it screwed up 'electricity.'  Let us speculate about how this could be done.

We suspect the neutralization process somehow involved magnetism.  For to produce electricity you have to spin copper around a magnet or a magnet around copper.  Eliminate magnetism and you would eliminate the possibility of producing electricity.  How is magnetism created?  It is theorized that magnetism is produced by electron spin.  So we suspect that some scientist created a weapon that could neutralize spin, thus neutralizing magnetism, and the possibility of producing electricity.  And mahybe electron spin is  not needed for the atom to continue to otherwise function properly.  But we are amazed that anyone would 'ignite' such a weapon, because if it had damaged atoms, all matter would collapse.  Or otherwise the material world would cease to function properly.

Finally, various electromagnetic pulses (EMP) would not neutralize electricity on Earth forever.  Thus our electron spin neutralization theory is a better explanation than an EMP. (NBC)

Batman Air Vehicle Would Not Work

The Bat is a prototype helicopter-type air vehicle that Wayne Enterprises was developing for the Department of Defense.  It has a helicopter rotor beneath the craft that would not provide lift.

The problem is no air can pass through the blades to provide lift via the Bernoulli Principle.  It would never get off the ground.  Moreover, it doesn't have a tail rotor to offset the torque from the main rotor.  There are some kind of rotors in the front left and right of the aircraft, but they appear to be pointing in the wrong direction to serve as stablizing rotors.

Nice look for the movies, but would not work in the real world.
