I have decided to replace the art for the main capital ship in the project.
The current ship is quite basic, and the interior textures especially are unfinished. I think I can improve this, but I need to redesign the layout of the ship.
The aim is to make it more visually interesting and complex.
I will hopefully be able to reuse at least some of the complex interior scenes that I have created, because some of my more recent ones are quite good. I will probably need to modify them though, so that then align properly with the different exterior layout.
With substance painters procedural texturing abilities, this should, hopefully, be possible.
I have completed a basic design for the outside of the ship, which I think looks ok. I next need to get a concept for the interior layout done, and I can then add detail to produce the final art, and begin unwrapping/texturing, etc.

The Giving Tree | Edgar Cayce's A.R.E.
Leaning on the deck rail of my little Sausalito house one spring day, straining to see through the upper leaves of a large tree obscuring the hill beyond, I wished idly that if only the top two feet of the tree were gone, my view could be restored. Within the next few days, leaves began dropping from the top of the tree, but only from the top two feet. A few days later the last leaf dropped from that area of the tree. I could once again see the hill across the valley.
It became apparent, a couple of weeks later that no more leaves were going to follow, that the remaining lower leaves were intact, healthy, and secured. Then it dawned on me that something utterly remarkable had happened. I caught my breath in confusion and amazement. Was this possible? There, indeed, was the view I had wished for. It was as if the tree had "understood" and granted my wish. A thrilling idea.
I was grateful. But as time passed, I became uneasy, for even though I couldn't have expected what happened, the tree had granted my wish at its own expense. I read once that a tree's topmost leaves are unique in that they protect it in some way, processing the sun's energy differently from its other leaves.
Pretty soon the novelty turned into concern for the tree's well-being.
I wanted those leaves back more than I wanted the view. I went out and pleaded with the tree to grow the leaves back and said that I was really sorry to have caused it any harm.
Slowly, to my great relief, buds started reappearing on the empty branches, tiny ones at first, only a scattering of green here and there. Then more and more popped open and stretched into leaves. Within a short time, the treetop was filled with beautiful new green leaves. I was weak with gratitude. Friends now marveled to see the perfectly normal tree. The rationalizers still rationalized. But I knew what I knew.
One of my friends, Francis Rath, who prior to becoming a bookstore owner had been a rather imposing law enforcement officer, found that in the course of his work, he could put his hands on people in trauma, and they would instantly stop convulsing and breathe normally. He was a true healer and a sensitive. About a year after the leaf-dropping incident, Francis was at my house for a party. He stepped outside for a breather and leaned against this tree. He later told me that he felt it to be remarkable; its emanations were compassionate and giving. He asked me if I knew that this was "one special tree." So I told him the story that I have just told you.

Home > History > People > Jim Russell
Jim Russell was born and lived most of his life in Downham Market, Norfolk. After serving with the RAF, he became a garage owner aided by his brother Peter. Jim came to motorsport fairly late in life, at the age of 32, when a friend invited him to go to Snetterton and he immediately made plans to join in. He began in 1952 with a new Cooper Mk VI fitted with a JAP engine and performed quite well within the JAP class, without troubling the established stars. Things improved when Jim persuaded a sceptical Steve Lancefield to provide and tune a Manx Norton which was fitted by Don Parker at Steve's insistence.
During 1953, he achieved a number of good performances including winning the handicap race at Brough on 3rd April, third in the Easter 20 and fifth in the handicap race at the Brands Hatch Easter Meeting, third in the Junior Final and second in the Juniors V Seniors handicap at Brands on the 24th May. At Snetterton, his local track, he took joint third with Les Leston on the 27th June, fourth on 11th July, with Ken Tyrrell winning, and finally a win of his own on the 1st of August. At the Commander Yorke Trophy meeting in August Jim took a respectable fourth in the Silverstone 100 Race.

For 1954, Jim acquired a Cooper Mk VIII and started to make his mark, beginning with a win in the Open Challenge and a fourth in the Senior Race at Brands on Easter Monday, second to Les Leston in the works car at Snetterton on the 2nd April. In May, he gave best to Moss and Leston in the Daily Express race, Silverstone, third again at Aintree on the 29th, this time to Moss and Don Parker. Second to Don at Snetterton on the 5th June and again on Whit Monday, Brands Hatch and finally a pair of wins in the USAF Trophy on 19th June.
July brought a second to Les in the Open Challenge at Brands, second to Parker in the Beart Trophy at Oulton Park on the10th and a slightly disappointing sixth in the Grand Prix on the 17th.
The Daily Telegraph meeting at Brands on the 2nd August brought third in the Open Challenge and a win over Moss in the International Challenge. A week later at Oulton for the Gold Cup, Jim took a fine second in the 75 Mile Race, only losing out to Moss when rain fell, and returning to Snetterton, he beat Parker and Ivor Bueb then won the Commander Yorke Trophy on the 21st and finished a busy month with second in the Seniors at Castle Combe. Finally, at Brands on the 5th September Jim took a double win in the Open and Senior races. All in, a fine year which would be rewarded with a works Cooper for the following year. Jim sold his Mk VIII to new boy David Heath for '55.

A portrait of Jim, by Ian Frost, taken on the grid at Brands Hatch in 1955.
From 1955 he received works support and a Mk IX, although he generally built and maintained his own cars at the Downham Market garage. Jim maintains that he actually preferred the Mk VIII Cooper, never being entirely happy with the rear only disk brake. Jim's team mate and good friend would be Ivor Bueb and between them, they would dominate the year. Ivor took first blood at Kirkistown on 19th March and Jim responded with a win at Snetterton on the 26th. They both lost out to new boy Cliff Allison at Brough, then Jim finished second to Don Parker at Castle Combe on the 9th April. On the 11th, Ivor went to Goodwood to win the Earl of March Trophy while Jim took the Senior win at Brands, this time beating Allison. The pair dominated at Ibsley, Jim coming out on top, then Ivor returned the compliment in the 50 Mile Race at Silverstone on the last lap. Russell won again at Snetterton on 30th but only after Allison spun off on the last lap, and the prestigious Grand Prix at Aintree on the 16th July after a dual with Stuart Lewis-Evans, Ivor failing to finish. On the 30th, he beat Bueb, Allison, Dennis Taylor, Lewis-Evans and Parker in a thrilling Senior Race at Crystal Palace and two days later, took the Daily Telegraph Trophy, fending off Les Leston. Jim won at Aintree on the 3rd of September, beating David Boshier-Jones and Allison, and the Francis Beart Trophy at Brands the following day. Honours were even for the works drivers in the Avon Trophy at Castle Combe with a win a piece on the 3rd of October then Jim took the Sporting Record Trophy at Brands a week later. Ivor won the Yuletide Trophy to complete the year but it was not enough and Jim Russell became the Formula 3 Champion for 1955. At Montlhéry in October 1955, Jim also set new class G records for 50, 100 and 200 km, 50 and 100 miles and 1 hour, all in an 1,100cc Cooper Climax.

Things continued in a similar vein in '56, while Coopers had introduced a Mk X, it was almost identical to the Mk IX so Jim continued with the older car for most of the year and Ivor ran his under the Ecurie Demi-Litre banner. Nearly all the top contenders were running Coopers by now including Stuart-Lewis-Evans, Tommy Bridger, Cliff Allison, George Wicken and David Boshier-Jones. Even Don Parker adopted a Cooper mid season, a combination which made for a very competitive season where every place counted. Jim took a win at Kirkistown in March, then suffered a number of DNFs before winning the First Final at Brands on 29th April and taking the Daily Express International Trophy at Silverstone on the 5th May. He won again at his local Snetterton on the 19th, travelled down to Brands to win the Sporting Record Trophy the following day and on to Goodwood for a final win of the weekend!
Russell won the Midsummer 100 at Aintree on 23rd June, was awarded joint first with Lewis-Evans at Mallory on the 7th July and a week later took the Grand Prix at Silverstone, then Snetterton on the 22nd. August brought the Daily Telegraph Trophy at Brands, a second to Stuart in the John Bull Trophy, Oulton Park. To Jim's favourite Snetterton for a win on 2nd September, again at Goodwood on the 8th, storming through after a poor start, and a second to George Wicken in the Rochester Cup at Brands the following day. In the Oulton Park Gold Cup meeting, Jim won the People Challenge from Lewis-Evans and Bridger then another win at Snetterton on the 7th October and finally a second to Stuart at Brands on the 14th. Russell's second Formula 3 Championship was won.
Also in 1956, Jim set up the first motor racing school at Snetterton, his local circuit. It was a huge success and the Jim Russell Racing Driver Schools have played a major role in the development of many young drivers including World Champion, Emerson Fittipaldi, Indianapolis 500 Winner, Danny Sullivan and TV personality Tiff Needell. The school was also responsible for fostering the career of Ralph Firman and his Van Diemen concern. Ralph was a school mechanic and Jim's brother in law. The Jim Russell Racing Driver School was the first major customer for Van Diemen cars.

1957 began with a home win at Snetterton on 31st March but he failed to finish the Earl of March Trophy on the 22nd April then bounced back with a hat trick of wins at Snetterton on the 18th and 19th of May. June brought the Sporting Record Trophy at Brands, a second to Lewis-Evans in the Redex Trophy at Crystal Palace, then third to Trevor Taylor and David Boshier-Jones at Mallory on the 6th July, a win in the Commander Yorke Trophy on the 27th and Snetterton on the 28th. On 5th August, Jim took second to Stuart in the Daily Telegraph Trophy, Brands Hatch followed by the inevitable win at Snetterton on 1st September then second to Lewis-Evans in the International Trophy, Silverstone and the same result at Goodwood on the 28th. He turned the tables in the Gold Cup at Oulton to take his third and final Formula 3 Championship.
Jim won the Daily Express Trophy in May 1958, in front of 100,000 spectators and Snetterton on 1st June but he was very much involved in the senior categories and the school by this time. Between 1953 and 1959 he won 64 Formula 3, 11 Formula 2 and 6 sports car races. He also took 22 second places and 19 third places resulting in an overall record of 121 top three places out of 135 starts. Jim set over 50 fastest laps and 20 lap records.
Jim Russell's career in the cockpit was effectively over in 1959 when his Cooper Monaco crashed at Le Mans. He returned briefly to the cockpit in 1961 and, after proving that he could still match the youngsters, quit.
In 1966, Jim and his crew was responsible for the cars and much of the action in John Frankenheimer's film, Grand Prix, starring Yves Montand and James Garner. The team followed the real Formula 1 circus for the season using modified Formula Juniors made to look like Formula 1 cars. The result was a successful film which has become a classic.

Muker, St Mary's Church
HERITAGE HIGHLIGHTS: A rare Elizabethan church
St Mary's Church, Muker
Muker is a popular village in Swaledale, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The oldest historical building in Muker is the parish church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin and built around 1580.
St Mary's is one of just a few churches built during the reign of Elizabeth I. It was consecrated on 3 August 1580 by William Chatterton, the Bishop of Chester. It was not initially a parish church in its own right but a chapel of ease for the church of St Andrew in Grinton.
The arrangement was very unfair to the residents of Muker, who had to maintain the minister but pay all fees for church tithes, births, deaths, and marriages to the vicar of Grinton. This continued until 1750 when the inhabitants successfully petitioned the Archdeacon of Richmond to be freed of their obligations to Grinton.
The re-cut Elizabethan font
The Tudor church was extremely simple, with a stone floor covered in rushes where the parishioners sat or knelt. The chapel had a thatched roof until 1761 when it was replaced with tiles and pews were installed in the nave. Parishioners were charged for their pews according to their income. That Elizabethan church did not have a tower.
The tower you see today was added in 1793; look for a rainwater pipe with the inscription 'R Metcalfe, J Calvert, C. Wardens 1793'. In the tower are a pair of bells probably brought here from either Marrick Priory or Ellerton Priory at the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The clock in the tower was installed in 1911 to mark the coronation of George V. The clock has only two faces, on the south and west sides of the tower.
The east window, depicting Swaledale scenes
The church was heavily restored in 1890 by BH Metcalfe in honour of his father and mother. Metcalfe's grandfather had served as the minister for 24 years.
The south porch bears a datestone inscribed with the year 1849. The porch is certainly much older and the date simply refers to the year it was restored. look for grooves in the doorposts caused by residents sharpening arrows. Above the porch opening is a sundial with the initials 'YL' for Yvonne Loxley, a longtime friend of the church.
Inside the south door is an original Elizabethan font, which has quite clearly been recut. The result, though it certainly gives it a more modern appearance, unfortunately destroyed the original Tudor carvings. The font cover was made from the old triple-decker pulpit. The pews near the font came from the Muker Methodist Chapel, which closed down in 1861.
The 1793 west tower
Behind the font is a stained glass window installed in memory of Rev A Dungworth, who served as Vicar of Muker from 1935-1950.
The lectern was given in memory of William Raw, a churchwarden and organist who died in 1971. it was crafted by the famous Thompson woodcarving company of Kilburn. See if you can spot Thompson's trademark carved mouse on the pedestal.
The east window was installed in memory of Rev HB Wilson, Vicar of Muker from 1931-1935. Though the theme is Biblical the window depicts scenery from the Muker area; you can make out the River Swale and Cliff Falls. Even the sheep are the horned Swaledale breed.
The oldest memorial is a damaged wall tablet dated 1746, but perhaps the finest wall tablet is to Alexander Calvert of Richmond, a land agent who died in 1834.
Rules for using the parish bier, 1836
Also on the wall is a delightful set of rules for using the parish bier, dated 1836. The inscription reads:
Rules relating the Hearse May 25th 1836.
Any person who may use the same out of the
Township to pay 6p. Mile for the use thereof.
Persons not belonging the Township to pay
6p. Mile the whole distance used.
Any damage done to the Hearse or
Harness by negligence or otherwise to be
repaired by the Person hiring them.
St Mary's Church is on the B6270 (Gunning Lane). There is no dedicated parking area but there is a pay and display car park by the bridge at the eastern edge of Muker. From there simply cross the bridge, turn left, and you will see the church above on your right. The church was open when we visited and as far as can determine is regularly open daylight hours to visitors.

I need another day for a weekend. Saturday and Sunday were both busy days and not any rest. And surely with soccer season starting up again, it's not about to slow down any time soon :) But it's life and it's good to be doing and living.
Groundhog Day! Did you see your shadow when you walked outside this morning?
The sun was out in such a beautiful way this weekend and that was good. Not hot or cold, but just enough of a cool and a warmth to know that Spring is coming.
This song has a piece written up on it that makes you see it in a whole new light and try to weigh it.
"I think the most dangerous thing about the song is that it is not 'Ragga Ragga' neither is it bashment. The sound is a mellow, methodical, sweet soca but the lyrics make a mockery of women's right to safely negotiate the end of a relationship and to have the power of a 'done'.
I have to agree with you on that point Cathy.
I love the beat of the song but agree with you re: that the possessiveness is never good.
Thank you. I can see both sides of this.
This is the Barbadian one though. They sound a bit different from the Jamaican.
And so appreciate you putting my giveaways up!
Catchy song, but it broke my heart (a little) when I saw the little boy and then, later, the photograph showing he was the boy's father - thinking back on what was once happier days, it made me wonder what went wrong. The singer was so clueless he had no idea!
It does speak to many relationship without care and communication eh.
I like the sound. I think it's hard for any relationship to end if one person doesn't want to go. I didn't see anything awful here though in the way he was acting. He didn't get physical and he left. Did you find it offensive?
Oh I didn't find it offensive at all. Just a weighing on both sides of how things can fall.
Just glad to be around luv. Been struggling!
Very catchy, indeed! I had to go over to FB for the whole scoop, and can definitely see how it depicts problematic masculinity. But I also see it as Cathy and Stacy, and understand that it is hard for the person who doesn't do the ending. Of course, this is kind of personal to me right now because my (adult) son's girlfriend just broke up with him, and he is having the hardest time letting go. She ended it in a bad way, which his brother and I both saw coming. But he was blindsided and confused.
Men shouldn't badger women and refuse to leave them alone or not let them have their "done", but they also can't be expected to just be over the relationship and not even try to fight for it. (As long as it's not physical fighting/abuse, that is).
Kim, I agree with you and see both sides.

Religion and Social Change: Liberation Theologies, Part 2
Fireside Room
Liberation Theology sprang from Latin America, where priests, monks, nuns, and laypeople put Catholicism and Marxism together to create powerful alternatives for people living under oppression. It has since grown up in other cultural contexts (e.g., black United States, Palestine, India) and religious soils (e.g., Protestant, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu). It boldly declares that God has "a preferential option for the poor" and has helped put the needs of poor people and the environment closer to the center of religions, even as religious leaders opposed it due to its links with Communism and Marxism.

Old postcard of historic Durfee school building
The school has been located in two buildings. From its opening in 1886 until the new building was completed in 1978 the school was located in the historic B.M.C. Durfee High School building on Rock Street, The iconic building, with its tall red-capped clock tower and red-domed observatory tower, overlooks the Taunton River and gives rise to the Fall River school district's seal, the school's athletics nickname, the Hilltoppers, their school colors of black and red (for the two roof colors), the school newspaper, the Hilltop, and their school alumni newspaper, the Chimes. For several decades prior to moving, the school also occupied the former Technical High School building across the street.
Since 1978 the school has been located on Elsbree Street in the city's north end. Located in former swamp land, the school was built both to modernize the district and to alleviate the overcrowding at the former sites. The school also moved its athletic fields, which were nearby to the new school, to its new campus, as well as building the on-campus Luke Urban Field House, as the school had formerly used the Fall River Armory for indoor athletics. Since 2011, there has also been a modern recreation of the Durfee clock tower located at the new site.
Durfee's athletic teams are known as the Hilltoppers, a nod to the location of the old school building atop the Highland neighborhood hills overlooking the Taunton River, and their school colors are black and red. As of the 2018-2019 school year, their school mascot is Rocky the Hilltopper. The school fight song is sung to the tune of the Notre Dame Victory March. The school's chief rival has always been New Bedford High School, as the two cities share a deep rivalry in general. The school also has rivalries with Brockton High School, Taunton High School and, to a lesser extent, many of the other local school districts.

Edward F. Harrington
Edward Francis Harrington (born September 16, 1933) is a Senior United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
Fall River Public Schools (FRPS) is a school district headquartered in Fall River, Massachusetts.
Thanks to a long-term effort on the part of the city, the school system has been involved in a consolidation effort, bringing the total number of elementary schools down from twenty-eight as recently as the 1990s to nine today: Spencer Borden Elementary in the southern Highlands, John J. Doran Elementary in the downtown area, Mary L. Fonseca Elementary in the Flint, William S. Greene Elementary near the city's center, Alfred S. Letourneau in the Maplewood neighborhood, Frank M. Silvia Elementary in the far North End, James Tansey Elementary in the middle Highlands, Carlton M. Viveiros Elementary in the South End, and Samuel Watson Elementary in the lower Flint. Of the old twenty-eight, only Watson, Tansey and Doran remain in their original buildings; Silvia was relocated from its old location downtown to a new building in the northern part of the city, and the other five were rebuilt on the sites of their original schools. Also, most of the closed school names (except for Wiley and Dubuque) live on in the schools they were consolidated into. There are three middle schools: Matthew J. Kuss Middle School (which was relocated to the west side of the city), James Morton Middle School (serving the North End), and Edmond P. Talbot Middle School (serving the east side of the city). The site of the former Henry Lord Middle School now serves as an elementary and middle school named Henry Lord Community School.The city has one public high school, B.M.C. Durfee High School. The school was founded in 1886, replacing an older high school. The original grand school building was a gift of Mrs. Mary B. Young, in the name of Bradford Matthew Chaloner Durfee, her late son, whose name also graces a dormitory at Yale University. The current school building was opened in 1978, and it was recently announced that a replica of the Durfee Chimes, the original school's red-capped bell tower, will be recreated on the grounds.
Durfee's teams wear black and red (in honor of the old school's black roof and red observatory dome and tower spire), and are called the Hilltoppers, sometimes shortened to Toppers. The nickname dates back to the old school's perch on top of the hill north of the Quequechan River. The school is a member of the Big Three Conference, where it competes with Brockton High School and its longtime natural rival, New Bedford High School.
Fall River granite
Fall River granite is a Precambrian bedrock underlying the City of Fall River, Massachusetts and surrounding areas along the eastern shores of Narragansett Bay. It was formed 600 million years ago, as part of the Avalon terrane.During the 19th century, the City of Fall River, Massachusetts became famous for the granite rock on which much of the city is built. The ridge extends approximately 20 miles (32 km) from the village of Assonet in the north through Fall River and into Tiverton, Rhode Island in the south, along the edge of the basin that forms Narragansett Bay. The eastern edge of the underlying granite is the Hixville Fault near Dartmouth, Massachusetts.

Former NFL Player George Nock on Art and Kaepernick
https://blackartinamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/BAIA-Talks-GeorgeNoch-9-25-17-6.20-PM.mp3
George Nock, former running back with the New York Jets & Washington Redskins was destined to become an artist. Introduced to drawing & sculpture very early in life, the self-taught, Nock has distinguished himself amongst the great sculptors of the 20th & 21st century due to an intrinsic ability to capture "the moment" with versatility in bronze often reflecting life's experiences. Inspired by two junior high school teachers, Mr. Tasker (sculptor) & Mr. Battle (painter) who both allowed Nock to etch, sketch, sculpt, draw & paint throughout high school. In 1964 on a sports scholalarship, the soft-spoken athlete attended Morgan State University where he majored in Psychology. After four great Championship years at Morgan, Nock was drafted by the Superbowl Champs, the New York Jets in 1969. Through hands-on practice, Nock devoted his life to formulating the Lord's materials into renditions of wildlife, warriors, Whymms & women, the culture bearers of any society. "I feel a responsibility to breathe life into untold stories & the images I depict". Much of Nock's work is derived from some indelible experience stored in the crevices of his mind. Whether sculpting a figure from world history, a forgotten people, or a famed athlete Nock posseses the uncanny ability to capture the essence of his subject with a characteristic pose or expression.

Q: Javascript callback hell with setTimeout(); Aloha. This is my first question here after eons of lurking. I apologize for the verbose but direct form of this question -- as well as the limitations on acceptable answers -- but I am here to contribute. I have a problem that other questions (for example How to avoid long nesting of asynchronous functions in Node.js or Chained callback readability in Javascript?) do not answer to my satisfaction.
I want to perform several Javascript callbacks so that I have a sequence of four actions occurring one after another. Here is the source:
var self = this;
fade(div, fadeIn, -20, function() {
  load(unload, dataOut, -10, function() {
    load(self, dataIn, 10, function() {
      fade(div, fadeOut, 20),0);
      unload = self;}
    );}
  );}
);

The load() and fade() functions are very similar except for internal semantic details, and they look something very similar to this:
function load(menuCategory, data, step, callback) {
  menuCategory.parentNode.style.width = data+"px";
  data += step;
  if(dataIn <= data && data <= dataOut) {
    setTimeout(function() { load(menuCategory,data,step,callback) }, 15);
  } else if(callback && (typeof(callback) == 'function')) {
    callback();}
}

I have several questions associated with this mess, but first let me give you the answers I am NOT looking for. Answers using jQuery are not acceptable. Answers using other timing or "synchronicity" frameworks or modules are not acceptable. Answers questioning the reason for blocking execution are not acceptable. Answers using languages other than Javascript are unacceptable. Non-abstract answers are acceptable, but the final solution will need to be as abstract as possible, meaning the answer must be able to act on a variety of similar but slightly different actions.
Here is my primary question:
Is there a function/object I could use to apply these actions sequentially, to cut down on the callback hell going on here? In other words, what would an object look like if the object/function were able to synchronously execute each action as it was individually iterated through it (i.e. passed to it)?
Secondary question:
Is anyone aware of how much this callback business looks like goto() in other languages? Meaning, this nesting of callbacks feels very awkward and inelegant to me. Is there a Javascript language construct either being developed or already developed that will reduce this crazy business? Callback nesting is some of the hardest logic flow to follow. It just feels awkward.
My goal here is a tight, elegant, attractive, homegrown Javascript object/function -- that I can call in a for() loop or equivalent -- to apply these operations on each action in sequence. If you've read this far I want to thank you for your time and consideration. :)

A:
using setTimeout(func(),0) in order to execute synchronously

No. Either use func() for a synchronous execution, or setTimeout(func, 0) to queue the execution (which makes it asynchronous).

Is setTimeout(func[…],0) the "most elegant" way to put this action onto the execution queue for rendered webpage objects? In other words, is there a "more elegant" way to block execution (i.e. do these things sequentially)?

Yes, this is the standard method. However, this does not block execution, and has nothing to do with sequencing. If the execution is synchronous, just execute it, if not you will have to deal with the callbacks and queuing a new task does not help.

Is anyone aware of how much this callback business looks like goto() in other languages? Meaning, this nesting of callbacks feels very awkward and inelegant to me. Is there a Javascript language construct either being developed or already developed that will reduce this crazy business?

No, I'm not aware of other languages, but afaik goto is a synchronous, control-flow-structuring statement as does not deal with asynchronous actions.
But no, there are no JavaScript language constructs ("syntactic sugar") that help us around the continuation-passing style with its callback hell.

Is there a function/object I could use to apply these actions sequentially, to cut down on the callback hell going on here? In other words, what would an object look like if the object/function were able to synchronously execute each action as it was individually iterated through it (i.e. passed to it)?
My goal here is a tight, elegant, attractive, homegrown Javascript object/function -- that I can call in a for() loop or equivalent -- to apply these operations on each action in sequence.

Again you want "sequencially" instead of "synchronous" :-) Yes, there are [handcoded/homegrown] solutions which make dealing with callbacks easier. As those callback organisation libraries you mentioned do not satisfy you, I'd recommend to look into the very elegant and attractive Promise Api and its Deferred objects (see futures and promises for the concept).

A: I'm unsure why you're using setTimeout at all here. Its not necessary to queue callbacks. The following structure will work, assuming that fade() and load() handle callback execution correctly.
fade(div, fadeIn, -20, function() {
    load(unload, dataOut, -10, function() {
        load(self, dataIn, 10, function() {
            fade(div, fadeOut, 20),0);
        });
    )};
)};

Another topic you should look into is Promises, also called deferreds and futures. Its essentially a coding pattern that specifically handles nested callbacks. At root, you create a Promise object that gets returned immediately, then when your method is done executing it fires a method on the promise that can then execute your next function. Its a different way of writing javascript, but easy to understand and very useful.

A: As it turns out, the practice that fits as the "best" answer to my question is events. In particular the practice I'm referring to is best described by EventEmitter on Node.js, or creating custom events and event listeners on client browsers. While the Promise API and its deference model is intriguing, it uses extensions to the language instead of core Javascript, which is what I was looking for here in particular (and thus why none of the previous answers -- despite their clarity -- support exactly what I was looking for).
This link (http://wekeroad.com/2012/04/05/cleaning-up-deep-callback-nesting-with-nodes-eventemitter) provides a very good example of what I was looking for. As well, I should mention the book "Async Javascript" by Trevor Burnham (http://www.amazon.com/Async-JavaScript-Trevor-Burnham/dp/1475247362), and "Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja" by John Resig and Bear Bibeault (http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-JavaScript-Ninja-John-Resig/dp/193398869X). These books provide extremely clear working examples of custom events and event handlers in client browsers that provide an elegant way around this "callback hell" I was referring to.

The wind whipped her braids to her face. Whatever he'd just said had lazily reached her earbuds and evaporated into the trance track booming through her skull.
She sighed and languidly took an earbud out.
Placing the earbud back, she watched through drooped lids the way his mouth took on a warping ellipse, growling, snarling. Then he touched her, and she lost it.
She was alone on the roof when it happened, she'd say.
She was truly alone on the roof.
"These disappearances have happened more frequently over the past month," the news anchor read.
While her friend groaned, Sabine wiped her hands free of salt and again reached for the lavender-scented parchment paper.
You must think like her.
"We know it's a she," Sabine offered hopefully.
"Males have disappeared," Kira sighed.
"We don't know Kelsey High kids!" Kira whined.
"Can't we just end on, 'Those boys deserved it?'" Kira crossed her arms.
Kira's phone rang, jolting Sabine from her thoughts. After a few minutes of nodding and yessing, Kira hung up and gave Sabine a tight smile.
Magician's Rite Academy's Work Experience Program was basically a week of torture that Elite Scholars kids endured by silently counting volunteer hours like crosses against the soul-sucking remarks of spoiled rich kids, according to Kira. It didn't help that Kira and Sabine were among the few that wore impressive, albeit overly formal uniforms for the occasion of trying to show the world that Magician's Rite wasn't the rough, shady school that the Kelsey High kids so readily wrinkled their noses at.
Sabine smiled easily, hoping her dark face would be further obscured by blindingly white teeth. Kira levelled an even gaze at anyone who dared to size her up. Meanwhile, their student ambassador giddily showed them around the school before stopping in front of a door labelled 1A.
"These students really need your help and I mean really," the ambassador hushed.
"Of course!" The girl squealed. "But even they can't help them. I was going to mention that you have Mrs. Wilson as a supervisor, if ever you guys need help," she slyly added.
Suddenly, a girl bumped past Sabine's shoulder and reached for the door, knocking past the student ambassador as well.
She ignored the warning and entered the room, black earbuds embedded in her ears. Sabine's shoulder felt hollow where she was touched.
1A sprawled out like a computer lab with various circular tables scattered around where students in similar antisocial gear including headphones and bangs concentrated hard on their notebooks or snickered at their laptops. Once Sabine and Kira were introduced and started checking up on each student's work, Sabine patiently gathered her courage for an opportunity to approach earbud girl.
The girl's heavily mascaraed lashes never lifted. Sabine had to concentrate hard on her physical presence, for fear her all-black garb would turn her into an inconsequential shadow.
"Are you trying to disappear on me?" she asked.
The girl's hand, wielding a felt pen that steadily coloured black streaks against the margins of her paper, paused then resumed.
Meanwhile, Kira made the mistake of sitting next to a blast from the past, literally, judging by his air blown fro.
"Aww, come on, don't be like that," he pouted.
"Ms. Emo over there," he whispered, jerking his head in the direction of a table that Sabine was leaving.
At night she wandered the city. The wind whipped through her braids. Adrenaline pumped a healthy pink across her sallow cheeks. Again, she visited the roof. Again she wasn't alone.
Another shadow crouched in the moonlight, lit by a white jester's cosplay resonating with the bells on her three-pronged hat as she grinned beneath a white mask. "Jester at your service," the figure bowed.
Again, the girl lost the words they said, except for a snippet that finally reached her ears.
"We've come to help you disappear," Jester announced.
Suddenly, the girl's cheeks drained of pink and she shook her head. An earbud fell out and she tried to put it back in, but this proved unexpectedly hard as the earbud slipped and slipped again.
In a second, the roof was enveloped in black ink and Sceptre and Jester tumbled in its darkness.
"Now what?" Sceptre snapped, unable to glimpse her partner.
"We think like her," Jester swept her gaze around the darkness, searching for a way out.
"We're gonna die," another whined.
Sceptre paused, deep in thought.
"They touched her," Sceptre realised.
Taking a deep breath, Sceptre advanced in what she hoped was the direction she last saw the girl.
The darkness tremored. Jester's heart fluttered, suddenly wary of shifting ground.
Jester tripped as the ground became a wave that heaved her up and dropped her.
The air groaned like a beast in a cavern.
She reached forward and wrapped her arms around the space in front of her.
Suddenly the darkness became peppered with shimmering dots until it blended with the Kelsey skyline. Sceptre withdrew her arms from the girl's shoulders, allowing her to dry her tears with her sleeves.
Glancing at the five boys who either lay prone on the ground or blinked in bewilderment, Jester gave the signal and the three of them disappeared behind a screen of smoke.
The next day, Julie waved Kira over to her table, shyly murmuring for help with Maths. Beneath the black colouring of the previous day, the words 'Thank you' sprawled in generous cursive.
Great story! Love that you created such a strong narrative arc in such a small word count. It works really well!
