[Review] Legends Of Tomorrow Episode 2×14: "Moonshot"

SPOILER WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT
This week the Legends travel back in time to the days of the Apollo program and it's a race to the moon with the Legion Of Doom.
This one is going to give me a migraine, isn't it?
A pre-Legends Rip drops off Commander Henry Heywood in Manhattan, 1965. He instructs him to disappear and assume a new identity in order to protect his piece of the Spear Of Destiny. Henry is concerned about leaving his wife and newborn son behind, but Rip reminds him it's to save the world. Before they part, Henry gives Rip his dog tags to give to his family. A second later, the Legends arrive in the area looking for Henry. They don't find him, so they begin searching for him on the Waverider. Reasoning that he would get a military-related job and picking the space program as a likely candidate, they search historical records and find him working at Mission Control during the Apollo 13 incident.
I remember that. Weird as hell movie. The found footage stuff was weird and then when the moon rocks started coming to life it just– oh, sorry. I'm thinking of something else.
Rip walks in with some research of his own, but the Legends have already found Henry. He's shot down again when he suggests a plan, but Sara interrupts with her own: infiltrating NASA. Is that a subplot I'm sensing? At NASA in 1970, Rip and Ray find Henry at a press briefing and Rip gets punched in the jaw.
Welcome back, Rip. It's like you never left.
Rip is thrown into an interrogation room while Henry and Ray have a casual talk. Henry has issues with Rip, but doesn't want to talk about that. Also, Henry's look is a little less "1970s Mission Control" and a little more Falling Down. That's sort of a fine line to begin with. The rest of the team arrives and there's a warm reunion between Henry, Nate, and Amaya. They tell him about the Legion Of Doom and about Doctor Mid-Nite's death. Henry assures them his piece of the Spear is safe and Nate figures out that it's in the flag that Neil Armstrong planted on the moon. Henry has to get back to the control room and adds that the mission is going perfectly…except that's not what happened. History has already changed.
Aboard the command module, the crew goes radio silent as they cross over to the dark side of the moon. At that moment, Swigert knocks out Lovell and Haise before revealing himself to be Eobard Thawne!
So…wait, Thawne is aboard Apollo 13, a mission which never landed on the moon, so he can land on the moon and get the piece of the Spear. But if the fragment was planted there in 1969, why didn't he just take over Apollo 11, the successful mission without the catastrophic failure? Or why not use super-speed to swipe the flag kit as it's being loaded into Apollo 11? Also, was Neil Armstrong in on the whole thing? Because the flag was assembled on the moon.
There's going to be a lot of this throughout the review. Strap in.
Mick, Stein, and Jax infiltrate Mission Control as members of the British space program studying NASA's procedures. This tickles me since Jax's actor, Franz Drameh, is British, so he gets to use his real accent for once. The Waverider takes the rest of the team and Henry to space to track down Apollo 13. Henry still doesn't want to talk to Rip, but he has a heart-to-heart conversation with Nate, who says he doesn't have a great relationship with his dad. Henry wants to return to 1956 when this is all over and reunite with his family
They find Apollo 13 and Ray shrinks down and heads inside, where he finds the unconscious astronauts in the command module and Thawne entering the lander module. Thawne spots Ray and a zero-gravity scuffle breaks out. Neither really has the upper hand because Thawne can't use his speed without gravity…well, he can't run, but he should be able to move his body at super-speed regardless of whether he has gravity and/or friction. MOVING ON! During the scuffle, the big red button is pushed and the lunar module is released to the surface. Let me just add that to my list of ways history is irreparably fucked.
Back at Mission Control, the Legends need to cut the feed before NASA sees a guy in a futuristic suit crash on the moon. Jax tries to cut communications but needs more time, so it's up to Stein and Mick to create a distraction. Stein begins singing the Jamaican folk song "Day-O" (you've heard Harry Belafonte's version before) and Mick joins in.
Am I high? Is this what being high feels like?
A very confused Mission Control loses contact with Apollo 13, the command module starts spinning off-course, and Ray manages to land on the moon. Unfortunately, he's burned up all of his fuel and the fight with Thawne damaged his suit's thrusters, so he'll need the Waverider to pick him up if he wan' go home.
THAWNE: "Puns – the lowest form of humor."
Well fuck you too, Thawne.
Amaya tries to convince Nate not to let Henry return to 1956, but Nate thinks that if his dad had grown up with a father, maybe he wouldn't have been such a jackass and Nate himself could have had a better childhood. Amaya doesn't see the need to "fix three generations of Heywood men" since she likes Nate the way he is. They're interrupted by Gideon warning them of an imminent collision – they're pursuing the command module, but it's about to fly into some meteoroids. Rip says the tractor beam wouldn't work because the command module's velocity would just pull them in anyway. Really? The ship with all kinds of maneuverability and its own gravitational field can't slow the command module? Sara grabs the command module and puts the Waverider between it and the meteoroids. Rip argues that destroying the meteoroids is a far better plan. Sara recalls the time when the Waverider tanked a nuke. Rip retorts that he had the decency to time scatter them first, Sara complains about getting sent to a time period of witch hangings…
Mommy and Daddy are fighting. :(
The Waverider survives, but is critically damaged along with the jump ship…meaning not only is Ray not getting rescued any time soon, but the other Legends themselves are in trouble. Ray does get to do a moonwalk in the Atom suit to recover the piece of the Spear. Heh, the Atom on the moon. That's one really small step for a superhero.
…STFU, Thawne.
Ray has a plan to get off the moon! He's going to route dwarf star power from his suit to fuel the lunar module long enough to link up with the command module again.
Thawne backseat engineers the whole situation, telling Ray what he's doing wrong since he's "a scientist from the future". Really, Thawne? Then how come you couldn't devise a way to fly to the moon and get the Spear fragment at any point in history after 1969? Why did you have to hitch a ride on a failed mission and alter history so badly? Whatever; I'll cover that more in a minute. Ray unties Thawne, since they have a mutual interest in getting off the moon.
Amaya tells Henry about time aberrations and how his return to 1956 could screw up Nate's life. Nate spills the beans about Amaya's own future to convince her that family is more important than history. Yeah, about that – remember one of the big time travel rules from Season 1? How when someone is in the Temporal Zone they don't technically have a future until they return to their own timeline? How does Amaya's granddaughter even exist? I know why Ray remembers Mari – he's in the Temporal Zone, so his memories aren't affected – but any descendant of a Legend shouldn't exist while they're time-traveling.
Henry reconciles with Rip, saying he's more angry at himself for his decision to go on the Spear mission than he is at Rip. For his part, Rip regrets not finding a better way to protect the Spear. Henry compliments Rip for making the Legends a better team than the one he originally met, but Rip can't take the credit for that.
My next headache comes when Thawne says he misses working with Caitlin and Cisco. Which is weird, because up to this point I assumed this Thawne was the one who had just finished killing Nora Allen after Barry fixed Flashpoint, but somehow this is a post-Flash Season 1 Thawne who never disappeared into nothingness when his ancestor shot himself. That makes no goddamn sense. Anyway, Thawne pulls that "we're not so different" crap with Ray, but also reveals that his sole motivation for getting the Spear is saving his own life, not personal glory. I've got to say, Thawne seems earnest when he says that. They launch the lunar module and dock with the command module, which is still in the Waverider's tractor beam. Ray and Thawne board the Waverider and the command module is released back on its course to Earth. Jax restores the feed.
JAX: "Let's get history back on track."
OH, I AM GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS.
Lovell and Haise wake up, answer Mission Control's call, and everyone cheers…but no one questions what the fuck just happened or why Apollo 13 is now missing its lunar module and command module pilot. But yaaaaay, happy times! Oh, except the Waverider is on reserve power and heading for Earth with very little chance of landing safely.
They need more power to activate the heat shields for re-entry, so Rip has them shut off heat and water filtration, which makes Nate sarcastically comment that it's not like they need clean water to survive. Well, not during atmospheric re-entry you don't! On the ground, Stein talks them through re-entry but also spies Hank Heywood (Nate's father and Henry's son) in Mission Control, who has won an essay-writing contest which Henry fixed so he'd get the chance to meet his son. All looks as good as it's going to get, but they need an angle for their descent, otherwise they'll either burn up or skip off the atmosphere. Thawne gives them the correct approach angle. Nobody is sure if they want to believe Thawne, so Rip leaves the decision in the hands of Captain Sara. She goes with Thawne's angle, but the thrusters go offline and they need another way to right the ship. While she and Rip argue about who's going to blow themselves out the airlock to force the ship into the correct angle, Henry runs off to do it himself, sacrificing himself so the Waverider can land safely.
Thawne escapes the brig, but Ray delays him long enough that his Black Flash timer goes off and he has to escape instead of searching the ship for the Spear. Nate finds his teenage father and gives him some cryptic advice along with Henry's last words. Sara and Rip have a talk that results in leaving Sara in command. Rip has realized Sara is a much better captain, and it's implied he's going to stay on as a Legend. Nate and Amaya make up, but as Nate leaves, Amaya asks Gideon the for the historical records of her village and her granddaughter.
Oh my god, where do I start? The episode was all right in plot, characters, and action. It had some funny moments and sad moments and there are some things I really like about it – namely Nate's interaction with Henry and even Thawne's conversation with Ray. The problems stem from the absolutely absurd ways history was fucked with in this episode that defy even the regular suspension of disbelief for this show. Apollo 13 was a real mission, a pretty famous one. It was well-covered and documented even in 1970, so there would have been massive aberrations caused in this episode which would have normally have Rip screaming.
In reality, the lunar module stayed with the craft until they made it back to Earth. Lovell, Haise, and Swigert actually spent much of the trip in it because the command module was shot to hell. Both the service and lunar modules were actually photographed after their separation, and these photos as well as the astronauts' observations contributed to figuring out what went wrong with the mission in the first place. The investigation, subsequent reports, and recommendations later went into improving future missions and preventing future catastrophes. I'm not great at explaining it, but there are several resources online where you can read about the mission. Or, if you like, you can watch the 1995 film Apollo 13, which was historically accurate…ish.
In this new history the Legends have created, the lunar module was separated from the command module and it landed on the moon. Jack Swigert was apparently never on the crew, and the command module splashed down with only James Lovell and Fred Haise onboard. Haise and Lovell also have no memory of the mission after "Swigert" stabbed them both with a needle moments before communication blackout. This would have led to huge aberrations and mysteries which would have continued to be investigated to this very day, yet somehow "history is back on track".
I thought the Pentagon incident and the couple of nukes the team set off in Season 1 were bad, but this takes the cake. When you're writing time travel stories which were "totally part of history all along", you have to have at least something plausible. Bend historical fact, don't break it. Otherwise you end up with a plot that functions like a goddamn cartoon. I'm not even much of a space program nerd, but when even I can't sit through the episode without rolling my eyes at this stuff, well…Houston, we have a problem.
Next time: the Legends are going to World War I for…reasons? Also a familiar face shows up and makes a bunch of fans happy.
Seriously, fuck you Eobard.

Pingback: [Review] Legends Of Tomorrow Episode 3×01: "Aruba-Con" | Made of Fail Productions


Pulling the turbocharger on a 1994 - 1997 "OBS" and early 1999 Super Duty is quite a headache the first time around - don't be discouraged, you'll be an expert by the time you're done. And if you happen to forget the tricks and tips you taught yourself the first time, the procedures below will walk you through it. The problem with removing the turbo on these model year pickups is not only that access is relatively difficult, but we're talking about trucks that are 20+ years old and thus many of the bolts/nuts are likely frozen. Exhaust hardware is stubborn in general, and it doesn't help that the up-pipe to turbine flange is difficult to reach with normal hand tools.
Note - These procedures are relevant for 1994 - EARLY 1999 pickup models with a TP38 turbocharger. See related links in sidebar for late 1999.5+ turbocharger removal/installation.
• Remove the intake tubing from the turbocharger inlet to the air filter assembly.
• Remove the intake Y pipe and intake boots. Cover the intake manifold openings with clean rags to protect from debris.
• Disconnect the EBPV solenoid electrical connector located at the face of the compressor housing.
• Loosen the downpipe Marman clamp with an 11 mm deep socket and separate the downpipe from the turbocharger turbine outlet. Push the downpipe downwards and away from the turbo.
• Disconnect the exhaust backpressure valve actuator latch from the EBPV linkage by sliding the latch down the rod towards the driver side of the vehicle. Once the latch has been released, pull the rod end downwards to disconnect.
• Remove the EBPV. It is held in place by (3) bolts that require an 8 mm, 12 point socket; a six point socket will not fit.
• The first bolt is located in plain view at the front of the turbine housing.
• The second bolt is towards the rear of the turbine housing (towards the firewall) near the top of the EBPV.
• The third bolt is located towards the rear of the turbine housing (towards the firewall) and towards the bottom of the EBPV. Feel for it - you won't be able to see it without an inspection mirror.
A 1/4 in drive socket and deep 8 mm, 12 pt socket are able to reach all (3) bolts without an extension.
• Remove the (2) bolts and (2) nuts securing the turbine housing inlet to the up-pipe flange. The bolts have 13 mm heads, the nuts have 15 mm heads (if they have been changed previously, the head size may differ). You may find them easier to remove if you spray them with a penetrating fluid and let it soak first.
The two top bolts are straight forward and easy to access. The driver side nut can be removed with a box end wrench. You can also break the nut loose with a wrench and then remove it with a 15 mm swivel socket.
• The passenger side bottom nut is difficult to access. A standard wrench is too long and will hit the downpipe and firewall. A socket will not fit between the flange and turbine housing. A short wrench will fit but provides insufficient leverage to break the nut loose in most cases.
• One solution is to fabricate a short wrench with a 1/2 in drive socket welded to it. Therefore, the nut can be broken loose with a breaker bar or 1/2 in drive ratchet and then removed with the shortened wrench. See image at left for details. The overall length of the wrench once cut is 4.5 inches. The 1/2" drive socket is welded 2 inches from the center of the socket to the center of the box end; worked perfectly.
• Remove the front (2) turbocharger pedestal bolts with a 10 mm socket.
• Remove the rear turbocharger pedestal bolts. With the turbocharger installed, it is impossible to capture images of the bolts, therefore we've provided a photo of the pedestal removed from the engine. The passenger side bolt can be removed with a 10 mm wrench. The driver side bolt is hidden behind the EBPV actuator and can only be accessed with a 10 mm swivel socket. You will not be able to see the head of the bolt - feel for it. It may take several tries to get the socket on the bolt. Refer to the image for bolt locations.
• Lift the turbocharger/pedestal assembly upwards and towards the front of the vehicle to remove from the engine. Discard the the oil supply and return port o-rings, then cover with a clean rag to keep debris out. Remove and discard the up-pipe collector gasket.
• If the EBPV is not removed from the turbine housing we recommend removing it and installing it once the turbocharger is mounted to the engine - it makes installation much simpler by increasing access to the pedestal and up-pipe flange bolts.
• Liberally coat the new oil supply and return o-rings (pedestal to engine block) in clean motor oil and install them on the engine flange.
• Install the new gasket on the up-pipe collector flange.
• Install the rear pedestal bolts onto the turbocharger pedestal. Use electrical tape to hold them in place and keep them from falling. The threaded tip of the bolt must be above the bottom of the pedestal or they will catch during installation. Leave the tape long so that it can be removed once the turbocharger is in place.
• Slide the turbocharger onto the up-pipe collector flange and downwards onto the engine block. Be extremely careful not to loose the o-rings as you slide the turbocharger into place.
• Remove the tape being used to hold the rear pedestal bolts in place.
• Start all (4) turbocharger pedestal bolts loosely, then torque down in a criss cross fashion. Tighten snug to ensure the oil supply/return o-rings seat properly.
The driver side rear bolt may take some patience in order to get it started. Do not use a ratchet - turn you're extension/swivel socket by hand to get it started.
• Install the up-pipe collector flange nuts and bolts. If desired, lightly coat them with high temperature anti-seize so that they will be less difficult remove in the future.
• Once all (4) nuts/bolts are installed hand tight, torque them down. You may need to re-tighten these after the engine has run a few times.
• Reconnect the EBPV solenoid to the engine harness (connector at face of turbocharger).
• Reinstall the EBPV and reconnect the EBPV actuator rod latch to the EBPV linkage. You may wish to use high temp anti-seize on the EBPV bolts.
• Reinstall the downpipe. Ensure that the Marman clamp completely seats around both the downpipe and EBPV flanges. You may need to completely remove the Marman clamp nut to get a positive seal. If the Marman clamp is disfigured, consider replacing it (see part number list above).
• Reinstall the intake Y pipe and all intake tubing.
• Start the engine and check for air/oil leaks.


The Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE) has launched a new DoC applicable for both the NHS Flu Vaccination Service and locally commissioned influenza services. We spoke to Lesley Grimes, CPPE lead pharmacist, learning development, to find out more.
CPPE has updated its Declaration of Competence (DoC) framework for vaccinations.
Previously, there have been two separate DoC frameworks for vaccinations; the NHS Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Advanced Service and other locally commissioned Immunisation services. This meant that those providing the NHS service along with a locally commissioned influenza service were required to complete two DoCs.
Those two DoCs have now been merged into a new single DoC framework for all vaccination services. It is recommended that you revisit the DoC every two years, so some people may not need to complete the new, merged DoC if they completed the practical training and DoC for the 2017/18 influenza season.
As the new DoC covers all vaccinations, the competency framework should be revisited and the statement of declaration re-signed whenever a service for a different vaccination is introduced.
In addition to completing the DoC, the requirement for healthcare professionals to complete an annual update, which can be self-directed learning rather than face-to face training, remains.
The 2018 National Minimum Standards and Core Curriculum for Immunisation Training for Registered Healthcare Practitioners include a new requirement for supervised clinical practice following training. Both the merged DoC and statement of declaration have been amended to include a clause relating to this.
PSNC has developed some frequently asked questions relating to the supervision clause.

People who try to be environmentally-friendly by buying less stuff are happier, study claims
Unsurprisingly, the results showed that the more materialistic a person was, the less likely they were to engage in reduced consumption.

With an ever-increasing focus on environmental sustainability, more and more of us are changing how — and what — we consume.
We're encouraged to recycle; charges on plastic mean we take our own shopping bags to the supermarket; and market research suggests that campaigns against fast fashion have been partly responsible for a rising interest in second-hand clothing. But how do these kinds of behaviours relate to our well-being? New research in Young Consumers suggests that buying green may not be the way to personal bliss, and that instead we should be focused on curbing our materialistic urges altogether.
To understand how our consumer choices affect our well-being, Sabrina Helm at the University of Arizona and her team looked at the "culturally entrenched materialistic values" that influence millennials. The researchers were interested in two specific kinds of behaviour: "green buying", which refers to buying products that limit impact on the environment, and reduced consumption, which involves repairing or reusing things rather than buying replacements.
The team started with data from a longitudinal research program in which almost 1,000 college students completed online surveys, initially during their first year, aged 18 to 21, and subsequently three and five years later. The students completed scales measuring their level of materialism, and how often they engaged in proactive financial behaviours such as saving. The team also constructed a 7-item scale to measure proactive environmental behaviours, including both green buying — such as purchasing items made from recycled materials — and reduced consumption behaviours. Personal well-being, life satisfaction, financial satisfaction and psychological distress were also measured.
Unsurprisingly, the results showed that the more materialistic a person was, the less likely they were to engage in reduced consumption. But they were still likely to engage in green buying — perhaps because it still involved obtaining new items.
"There is evidence that there are 'green materialists,'" says Helm. "If you are able to buy environmentally friendly products, you can still live your materialist values. You're acquiring new things, and that fits into the mainstream consumption pattern in our consumer culture."
These materialists should think twice, however: those with lower levels of consumption also reported higher personal well-being and lower psychological distress, but green buying had no link to well-being at all.
"We thought it might satisfy people that they participated in being more environmentally conscious through green buying patterns, but it doesn't seem to be that way," Helm said. "Reduced consumption has effects on increased well-being and decreased psychological distress, but we don't see that with green consumption."
It's important to note that the data gleaned from the research was not causal, but merely correlational. People with higher levels of materialism may be less happy for other reasons, or happy people may be more likely to engage in reduced consumption, not the other way around. And it's also possible that those with high levels of materialism are unlikely to be made any happier by reducing their consumption — after all, the factors influencing that materialism are complex and often deeply embedded in the social and cultural fabric of our lives, and undoing these desires may be slightly less straightforward than we might hope.
Changes in consumer habits are obviously not going to be the tipping point when it comes to climate change — as we probably all know by now, 71% of global emissions are caused by just 100 companies. So whilst Helm notes that reduced consumption is "more important from a sustainability perspective," how much single use plastic we purchase on a daily basis is unlikely to make a significant impact.
But how we feel about these issues will undoubtedly develop as the clock ticks on climate change: understanding how to navigate our role in environmental issues is only going to get more pressing.

Say that you need me, and that you're my friend.
I must hear it each day, the best words you can say.
I love you, I need you, you are my friend.
Comments for Tell me you love me, tell me again.
Never know why i know this song... but always look to find out.


Two things I rarely, if ever, think about. Sin or the devil.
I actually believe sin was dealt with over 2,000 years ago on the Cross. I have reckoned myself dead to it. I no longer have to beg God to forgive me for anything, because He already did. Completely.
I don't go through my day trying not to sin. I wake up as a son of my Papa. So washed clean that I squeak when I walk. Lol. I used to live in guilt, condemnation and shame, because I focused solely on everything I did wrong. What a hellish way to go through life.
I was dead, but now I'm alive.
I WAS a sinner, but now I'm a saint.
And the devil? Pfffft. He is a cut off, withering branch that can't amount to anything. He's not omnipresent, so I can't blame all the bad things that happen in life on him. Stuff happens. It's really that simple. Car battery dies…I don't start "putting on the armour" and prepare for battle. I go to the auto parts store and get a new battery. Problem solved.
I have submitted to God. That in itself resists the devil. I don't even think about him.
It's amazing the growth I've experienced in my relationship with Father since I began to focus on who I am. Who I was created to be. Why I'm on this planet.
And it all began when the revelation of His unconditional love for me, and all of humanity, became much more than head knowledge. It became a heart reality.
What an adventure this has been.

Disc Golf Tramp
Tyler "Treetop" Turnmeyer steps out of his dusty van and sets up his portable disc golf basket. He stretches his hands to the sky and falls into a yoga squat, rotating his torso up and down and warming up his shoulders. He's 28, a transplant from South Carolina who decided to stay in Nevada County five years ago after spending a day at the Yuba. His arms are sinewy from years of disc golfing and rock climbing. He's calm and reflective and looks you in the eyes when he talks. His shirt is emblazoned with a custom graphic: two overlapping "T's" that form the shape of a disc golf basket.
He tells me to get a picture of his shirt before I leave. "You have to do everything to get your name out there if you want to go pro," he says.
As he warms up, number one world-ranked player Ricky Wysocki is on his mind.
"I watch him play and all I think is: 'How am I going to beat him? How am I going to do what he does, but better?'"
Daniel (last name withheld), a friend of Turnmeyer's and a local cannabis grower, parks next to the van and they immediately start to chat. He's wearing cargo shorts, a psychedelic pink ball cap, and Teva sandals; a standard outfit among the arriving competitors. They take turns practicing their short game on the basket. Daniel's young son runs between them, pitching in perfect shots from ten to twenty feet. He smiles sheepishly as Treetop congratulates him on his recent tournament victory.
Turnmeyer points to a middle-aged man in sagging basketball shorts across the parking lot, warming up on his own basket
"That's Chappy," says Turnmeyer. "If I had to pick a favorite to win it'd be him. He's played this course more than anyone here."
His tone is resigned, and a little reverent. You've gotta respect your elders, and there are many out today.
Turnmeyer and his crew are just a handful of the serious disc golfers who regularly compete at Condon Park. The Grass Valley course has long been considered one of the best in the state for its open fairways and technical angles through pine forests. Recently, it was expanded from 18 to 27 holes. The Hanging Oak Tournament, held May 15th-16th, was the first time the new course was used in competition, attracting 127 of the region's most serious players.
For the layperson, disc golf is "frisbee golf," viewed chiefly as an excuse to drink beer in a public park. But for the crowd at Condon, an event like the Hanging Oak represents so much more. Some, like Turnmeyer, view it as a stepping stone to sponsorship and a shot at the big time. Other players just want to become local legends. A morning spent with the competitors on day one of the tournament reveals just how intense they can get.
John is nervous. It's his first tournament. Frank from Oroville, wearing a polo shirt, is worried that his fingers are going to stick to his disc after having smoked a blunt in his car. Turnmeyer is furiously networking, shouting greetings to other players walking by the registration tent.
"Yo, Bro, where are you?" Turnmeyer shouts, "Last call for tee time!" The fourth player in their assigned group has not shown up. After a few more minutes they take off for their first hole, Treetop and John both carry large specialized backpacks containing over a dozen different discs. Frank bounces behind them with his rolling caddy bag that retails for over 200 dollars.
They rotate who's keeping score on the card, and Treetop volunteers to keep tallies through the first nine. Like ball golf, it's almost impossible to get a hole in one, so the goal is to get as many birdies as you can; a hole that only takes two throws
The first hole runs downhill behind the bathrooms, the basket tucked into a grove of large pine trees.
Turnmeyer lands his driver disc less than ten feet from the basket.
"Fucking shaved that tree!" he shouts.
Half a minute later, Turnmeyer marks down two birdies and a par (three throws, in this case.) And they're off to hole number two.
City of Champions
The West Coast has always been a major hub of disc golf. The first permanent disc golf course was built in the mid 70's at San Diego's Morley Field, having evolved from ultimate frisbee teams at UC Berkeley. The sport quickly expanded beyond California, with the 1976 formation of the Professional Disc Golfers Association (PDGA), the sport's primary organizational body.
While outside observers may see the sport as fringe, Nevada County has cultivated a number of world renowned disc golfers. Grass Valley native Gregg Barsby won first place and $10,000 in the 2018 World Championship in Jeffersonville, Vermont. Jessica Weese, another Grass Valley native, is currently ranked in the global top 10 for women disc golfers. Both of them grew up playing in Condon Park and at Western Gateway Park in Penn Valley.
"The city has been incredibly supportive of the disc golf community here," says Gold Country Disc Golf Association Treasurer Mike "Woody" Woodman, one of the organizers of the Hanging Oak Classic. The GCDGA recently got the city to donate $10,000 for the expansion of the Condon Course, and Grass Valley's Hansen Brothers Concrete donated $5,000 worth of concrete for the baskets and tees to sit on.
"These courses add defensible fire space to the park. And the players alert local law enforcement of any squatting or camping," says Woodman.
The disc golf community is growing. A total of 127 players registered for this year's Hanging Oak, nearly tripling the number from 2019. Competitors come from all over California, looking to build experience and compete for a cash prize of up to $250.
Turnmeyer recently moved into his van which he plans to drive up and down the west coast, competing in tournaments every other weekend. He won't need much – friends may feed him, and the registration at tournaments is never more than $100. In order to make money doing this, you've got to find a sponsor, such as a disc company or bag manufacturer. And in order to find a sponsor, players have to compete in bigger, pro-level tournaments. Hanging Oak is an amateur tournament, but there's still an opportunity to increase one's player rating and get noticed.
"You have to be constantly playing," says Turnmeyer. "I play a full 18 holes at least six days a week all over the state. All different types of courses."
As the group moves through the game, they discuss the expanded course.
"The new holes are fairly technical," says Turnmeyer. "Hole fifteen, especially. You have to be very precise off the tee or else you can get lost in the undergrowth and have a real shitty time digging yourself out."
When they get there, they can't even see the basket. Turnmeyer throws a "sidearm" (like a curveball in baseball), through a stand of trees to reach it. He finishes the challenging hole with a birdie.
Then it all goes downhill.
Turnmeyer in a happy moment.
After a confident showing on the first twenty holes — including a near hole in one — Turnmeyer's game starts to slide. Later, he confesses he doesn't know what happened. And yet, he still shoots pretty well compared to the other players. He winds up fifth place in his division, barely making up his registration fee in prize money, leaving a net surplus of two dollars.
After the tournament, he shakes out his man bun, folds up his disc golf basket, and climbs back in his van.
"It's not the result I was hoping for," he admits later. "But on to the next one."
He'll be hitting tournaments in Oroville, Brownsville, Tahoe, and then eventually Oregon, crashing with a "homie" there. In October, he'll be traveling to Austin, Texas for the Amateur Nationals Championship. Thank goodness for that two dollar win – he'll need all the gas money he can get.

Jeff Bezos to Create Charitable Foundation to Provide Childcare for the Homeless

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has announced that he will use some of his $160 billion fortune to establish a fund that provides early childcare and preschool to homeless and low-income families.
The fund, "Bezos Day One Fund," will start out with $2 billion, pledged from Bezos' personal wealth. Bezons explained on Twitter that the foundation will have two tiers: one that helps existing non-profits in providing for homeless families, and one that creates a network of new preschools and childcare centers for no or low-income families.
The announcement comes almost exactly a year after Bezos reported he was looking for a new philanthropic project, and it is his largest charitable donation to date.
Hurricane Florence Begins Life-Threatening Rainfall in North Carolina
The National Hurricane Center reported that Hurricane Florence has made its way into North Carolina, sweeping the state with powerful winds and "life-threatening" rainfall. According to the Washington Post, the storm made landfall around 7AM EST this morning.
Several structures have already collapsed in Morehead City and New Bern, with approximately 100 people left stranded as of this morning. More than 400,000 residents of the region have lost power in Morehead, New Bern, and Wilmington.
The storm is expected to continue wreaking havoc through today and the beginning of next week.
Truett McConnell University Cuts Ties With Nike After Kaepernick Commercial
Scraps of Nike symbols lay in the trash and Nike shoes lay burnt on American lawns as a result of Nike's latest "Just do it" commercial featuring NFL star and racial activist, Colin Kaepernick.
Christian colleges across the nation have broken ties with Nike including the most recent, Truett McConnell University. Truett's president, Dr. Emir Caner gave an explanation for the split, "For Nike to then hire Colin Kaepernick, a person known for wearing pigs on his socks, mocking law enforcement, kneeling against our flag, and mocking our troops, is reprehensible to my family and to the Truett McConnell family."
The school will sell the rest of their Nike apparel from the campus store and donate all of the funds to veterans, the Wounded Warrior Project and the Fraternal Order of Police. Regardless of the controversy and loss of business relationships, Nike has seen a 31% increase in sales since the commercial was aired.

Last But Not Least: International Center for Academic Integrity to Host Day of Action Against Contract Cheating
Contract cheating occurs when students submit work produced for them by someone else. Turnitin reported at least 7% of students admitted to contract cheating in 2013. According to the ICAI, "As many as 16 million people could be receiving fraudulent certifications…as a result of contract cheating."
This fraudulent practice is a serious threat to the integrity of higher level education systems across the globe. Contract cheating contributes to nearly 1/5 of the plagiarism found in assignments submitted to Turnitin according to ICAI statistics.
ICAI encourages students, professors, administrators and entire institutions to stand against contact cheating on October 17 this year.

Silvery waves crashed gently on the shore, cockerels crowed, crabs scooted sideways, birds chirruped and whistled and bats snoozed motionless on their branches. Why would anyone want to go home?

Collective Bargaining Can Still Work
by Andrew Strom | Jan 23, 2017 | From Senior Contributors, Unions & Organizing
People have been writing the obituary of the labor movement at least since the 1980s. These doomsayers fall into two camps. One the one hand, there are those who are eager to squelch worker power. A typical example is Virginia Foxx, the new Chair of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, who recently grabbed headlines when she asserted that organized labor had "sort of lost its reason for being." Representative Foxx has never shown any interest in improving the lives of workers, so her comments are like a rabid Yankees' fan predicting a bad year for the Red Sox. Of course, she's not just a "fan," she holds a position of power where she will undoubtedly try to make it harder for workers to bargain collectively.
But, at the moment, I'm more interested in the other critics – the labor partisans who argue that a new model is necessary to reverse labor's long decline. Academics and outside observers have long tried to garner attention by promoting a shiny new toy that would replace the existing labor law regime. But it is more notable when a successful labor leader like David Rolf makes the same case. Rolf, a savvy strategist, who heads a home care workers' union in Washington State, was one of the driving forces behind a successful ballot measure that dramatically raised wages and won paid sick leave for thousands of workers in SeaTac, where Seattle's airport is located. Even though the Fight for Fifteen in Seattle could never have succeeded without support from unions that were the product of collective bargaining, Rolf is now going around the country arguing that collective bargaining is dead and unions need to find something new to replace it. In a post on this blog, Rolf set up a straw man by criticizing the status quo as based on "enterprise bargaining." Elsewhere, Rolf suggested that we need a new model to promote geographic and/or sectoral bargaining. While it's true that under current law, multiemployer bargaining is voluntary, unions already have a long history of engaging in geographic and/or sectoral bargaining. In some cases this has happened through formal multiemployer associations, while in other cases it happens informally on a de facto basis, but wherever unions have been successful, whether it is hospital workers in New York, supermarket workers in California, hotel workers in Las Vegas, or office cleaners in two dozen cities, this is what unions do now. And it's not just in "legacy" industries. In fact, just this month, my union, SEIU Local 32BJ, reached a first contract with eleven employers covering over 7,000 workers at New York City's three airports. Furthermore, even bargaining with a single employer can make a huge impact if the employer is large enough. For instance, the Teamsters represent over 250,000 workers who are employed by UPS. And if there were a successful campaign to organize Wal-Mart, that would cover over one million workers.
There's no doubt that unions need to figure out how to organize on a much larger scale. And if someone comes up with a plan to accomplish that, I'm all in. But passing a series of local ordinances is no substitute for collective bargaining. A law that raises wages is great, but no government has the resources to police every workplace to ensure compliance with labor standards. This is why independent investigators have often found widespread violations of labor and employment laws. And apart from minimum wage hikes, cities have only passed pro-worker legislation in places where unions have used their existing organizational strength to push for those laws. I have yet to see an alternative model that would effectively promote large-scale, self-funded organizations that are controlled by workers. And until someone comes up with that model, collective bargaining is still the best hope for workers.

What do we experience when we look inside? Where do we place our confidence? Do we believe that we have mind? In this episode Professor Thurman discusses the power of questioning, the necessity of digging deeper in order to understand mind and its power.
The episode is an excerpt from the the "Buddha and Yogis" retreat at Menla Mountain Retreat, taught by David Swenson, John Campbell & Robert Thurman on July 31, 2015.


I've been reading a book called "The Atheist's Way: Living Well without Gods" by Eric Maisel. I recommend this book to anyone who has considered him or herself to be a 'spiritual atheist,' because I have found a concept in this book that has changed my mind about how atheists should address ideas of 'spirituality.
In exactly the same sense that there have been religious existentialists, individuals who embraced existential ideas about personal responsibility but then leapt in the next breath to gods, there can be — and there are spiritual atheists or new age atheists, individuals who take a pass on gods but who imbue the word spiritual with special meaning.
He then goes on to describe the situation where an atheist is going about her normal daily business but is suddenly struck at the thought of the strangeness and somewhat incomprehensibleness of the brute facts of reality. Struck by questions like "Why is there something instead of nothing?" Or being overwhelmed at an amazing sense of connectedness with the rest of the universe, a feeling I have experienced many times while walking though the woods or laying out on a clear night gazing at the stars. I've had the same type of feeling in yoga class too, usually while chanting or in the Savasanna pose at the end of the class.
I put that in bold because I think it is the crux of the issue. Since I've been an atheist I've always been a bit ambivalent about the word 'spiritual' but I stuck with it because I thought it was the only and best word there was to explain experiences like the ones I described above. Every now and then I would explain that I didn't think there was anything supernatural about the events, just that they invoked an emotional and thoughtful response in me. These experiences were deeply meaningful to me, and pulled me out of the normal mundanity of life for just a few moments at a time.
They were meaningful. This, in fact, is the word that Eric Maisel recommends that we use for these types of experiences. Which is great for me, since I don't have any reservations about the word 'meaningful.' It's one that I can use and not feel I need to backtrack and explain that what I mean by it is not exactly what is traditionally meant by it. It's one less mental tension in my life.
If you have any more questions about the concept, pick up the book and read it. It's a good and inspiring piece, and it's also fairly short as books go. I think that it is great that someone writes books like these for atheists in a situation where we have not had many examples and roll-models in our daily lives of how to 'live well' in the context of atheism.
EDIT: Another thing I thought of during the day today: Calling something 'spiritual' seems to endow it with a sense of virtue and 'holier-than-thou' feeling that 'meaningful' does not imply. That sense is not necessarily deserved–that something fills you with a special and inspired feeling doesn't necessarily mean that it is virtuous. The 'holy man' does not deserve a halo for just sitting around uttering more or less inspiring words. The activities that we label as 'spiritual' are not necessarily better or more important than anything else we do. Just an observation–anyone else get what I'm talking about?
I'm an atheist who uses the word "spiritual" to describe myself often. I too am ambivalent about using that term, but I use it because I want to convey a sense of seriousness that I don't think "meaningful" conveys. I find the word "spiritual" to be a more meaningful word. The irony doesn't escape me that it's only such a powerful word because religion is such a powerful force in society. "Spirituality" has a powerful meaning for most people, at a level that no other synonym can quite match.
To me, this falls along the same lines of classifying atheist groups and atheist books under the category "religion". It's not semantically correct, but it's functionally equivalent, and it's the only way they'll receive proper attention.
I don't think simply using the word spirituality is backsliding on our view of the universe. I definitely do not believe in anything supernatural, but my former christian faith does inform my current atheism, and calling myself spiritual is one of them. It's as much a cultural word as a religious one.
Anyway, this is a good post, and I'll be sure to check out the book.
I am a Christian, but the word spiritual does not always need to describe something supernatural even to me. For one thing, I don't see anything supernatural about the human spirit. It is a natural characteristic of humanity. The human mind is capable of having moments of ecstasy, that have little to do with religious belief or non-belief. Often these moments are the source of great creativity. A problem we are working on suddenly becomes clear.
As a Christian, I might call this an epiphany, but not for the reason you might think. Not that God intervened in my thinking and put the answer supernaturally into my mind, but that God is the ultimate source of life and intellect and so gets ultimate credit for it.
I don't think people should be ambivalent or paranoid of using words that seem to come from sources opposite their thinking. If we are afraid to use a word because it may cause us to start thinking in another direction we are probably not really convinced that our thinking is correct.
I believe we need to constantly seek truth and follow it where ever it leads. For me the search is the journey and the journey is life. I am a Christian because my journey has led me to this point. I will follow truth where ever I find it and if it leads me to be an atheist, so be it. I cannot imagine that at this point, but there was a time when I could not imagine myself as a Christian and yet….
The important thing is to never give up the search, and follow where it leads without fear of mere words.
I prefer to use "meaningful" because I think the word is more accurate to describe experiences that I previously described as "spiritual." Before Whenever I consider "spiritual" to be the more accurate and truthful word, I will not hesitate to use it.

I'm looking to see if anyone has a better handle on WMI than I do.... I have 200ish laptops in the field and Inventory gives me just about anything I could ask for on them with just one exception. I'm trying to find a way to have it automatically grab some of the Mobile Broadband data from the units as well. I'd love to just have it give the aircard's phone number, but even an IMEI and/or ICCID (SIM) number would be great.
It all comes down to having 5 different systems to update every time you give a new asset out to the field. If someone misses a step filling out the paperwork, you lose track of who has which thing or, in my case, which phone number belongs to which laptop.
Anyway, I know that I can grab that information using netsh, but I don't have a good way to record it automatically, and I'd love to just be able to have inventory scan for it so I can have it populate a custom field or even just have a report available.

English literature research, culture, Anthony Burgess, Enderby, analysis of artistic creativity concept, the image of an artist
Purpose of the study: Anthony Burgess (1917 – 1993) is an English writer, author of the intellectual novels and serious musical works. Being a talented and inventive person, he was very interested in art and its creative processes. Anthony Burgess's artistic creativity concept can be traced in many of his works about fictional and non-fictional writers
Methodology: The article uses the analysis of the fictional world created in the novels as a means of its consideration. The image of the artist is considered from the perspective of the writer's worldview reflected in the composition and the message of his works.
Results: The conducted analysis shows that in Anthony Burgess's opinion the artist is a craftsman whose artistic activity is closely connected with his sexual attraction. In addition, the writer is characterized by isolation as the main condition of the creative process and the total devotion to Art.
Applications of this study: This research can be used for the universities, teachers, and students.
Novelty/Originality of this study: Thus, the novelty of the paper consists in its first trial to present the artist's image thoroughly studied in the mentioned above novels. It is worthwhile mentioning that the research is conducted according to Anthony Burgess's creative concept.
