We all have memories of our childhood. Some good, and some not so positive. It's likely that all of us have faced bullies at one time or another throughout our childhood and even into our adult lives. People that wanted to assert their power over us and demonstrate that their idea, approach or lifestyle was superior to our own. People who wanted to feel better about themselves, and chose the path of demeaning others to make themselves feel good.
Recognize your power. Choose not to feel harmed and you cannot be harmed.

1. I'm talking about the weather again. It's what I do. Finally, after that gruesome blistering 90+ degree weather last week, spring rolled in this week with some beautiful sunny days. Yeah, we got some rain too, but those gorgeous sun-filled blue-skied days? EXCELLENT.
2. School has been out a week almost, and so far we are…surviving. Sure, the kids are bored. I'm not great with coming up with activities – seems like locally there's not much to do but get in the car and go not local. A trip to our nearby library yesterday (not my library of choice) evolved into a game of "dodge the yelling boys who don't seem to have a parent nearby paying attention to them". No fun.
3. New music this week? After "The Book of Mormon" got lots of Tony attention, Amazon had the soundtrack on sale for under two bucks – so I picked it up. Admittedly, I haven't listened to it in its entirety – OR IN ORDER – but I will. I'll report back. I have a trip to NYC this fall – so, I'm not sure if this is worth checking out while I'm there.
4. I had my first interview yesterday – and I realized how much I hate the process of interviewing. Some people thrive on the whole interview experience, but… not me. It's hard for me to say, "I am pretty awesome and I would be an incredible asset to your organization and you would be seriously remiss in not snatching me from the jaws of unemployment and giving me a paycheck…pronto." But… I'm trying. Part of the whole unemployment process has made me realize there's a great deal of things I do well – and when I find the right place and they find me – work is going to be this productive, amazing experience. And not at all soul-sucking.
5. I'm sure you've seen this already – but it's been my biggest giggle of the week. Love "The Whole Foods Parking Lot" – you've probably seen it on Facebook, at least five times. But, yeah.
6. Pumpkin's reading skills are improving in leaps and bounds – it's amazing to see the difference from where she was a year ago. As she read to me in the car the other day, my mind was blown by the words she was sounding out. Yay! Another reader.
7. The best thing Netflix Instant has ever given me was the entire series of My So Called Life. I've been watching episode after episode the past few nights and it brings back so many memories! Oh! Jordan's dyslexic! This is when Rayanne ODs! Sigh. Love it.
8. Along those lines, it was way easier to be a teenager girl in the age of grunge when baggy jeans and flannel shirts were "the style". Way easier than low slung jeans and fitted tops. I'm glad I got to grow up being able to breathe in my clothing!
9. I bought a bottle of body wash at Target the other day. I won't tell you the brand because I'm about to tell you how weird it smells and I don't want to be mean. It's not its fault – someone probably really likes the way this smells. This bodywash, however, smells like someone took one of every color gumball in a gumball machine, half-chewed them all and stuck them together. Yeah. It's a weird fruity smell. That's how I smell right now: weird fruity.
10. In the spirit of summer and hobo-style, I have done my hair and worn make up exactly once this week (yep, for my interview). I should probably get it together and at least knock it off with the ponytail thing because I look a little bit like I've given up on being presentable in public… though it gives me a great deal more time to ref my daughters' arguments.
Now I can't go to a whole foods parking lot without getting real. Real broke.

Asked to direct a video for a large UK newspaper publisher, in order to highlight a department's media campaign and marketing strategy.
Recording slo-mo camera footage, and adding back projected images to display well known UK locations, we aimed to create a tongue in cheek video narrative, enhanced by having the legend that is Brian Blessed – apply the voice over to the final video.
The video went on to be shown in the media group's awards ceremony, and highlighted the department's campaign – giving free newspapers to all readers for one day, along with special promotions for all it's readers. It was a successful tool in presenting a window of the media department's activities, helping raise awareness, and was used as a platform for further discussions and presentations.

Embattled social development minister Bathabile Dlamini has procured a R1.3 million German sedan for her official use in Pretoria while her deputy has gone for a R1.1 million SUV.
The R2.4 million splurge on the luxury vehicles for Dlamini and her deputy minister' Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu' is at odds with the National Treasury's austerity measures introduced by axed finance minister Pravin Gordhan to curb wasteful and unnecessary spending of public funds in an environment where government revenue streams are dwindling.
Dlamini further stated that three months earlier' in July 2016' a premium luxury Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV was procured for Bogopane-Zulu.
She told parliament in the written reply that purchasing the vehicles was "unavoidable" because cars they had purchased in 2009 had aged and had travelled more than 120'000 km.
"The official Pretoria-based vehicles allocated to the Minister and the Deputy Minister in 2009 have far exceeded the prescribed 120'000 km and the five year period.
"The Minister's vehicle reached 161'523 km and the Deputy Minister's vehicle 143'652 km. As such the purchase of new official vehicles became unavoidable and needed replacement due to high maintenance costs and security reasons'" said Dlamini in her written reply.
The minister said procurement was guided by prescripts and regulations of the National Treasury and stipulations of the Ministerial Handbook.
The ministerial handbook says the purchase price of cars for a minister should not exceed 70% of their annual remuneration packages but these may be amended periodically by recommendations of the Independent Commission on the Remuneration of Public Office Bearers.
Ministers currently earn an annual salary of R2.3 million.
Dlamini also said it should be noted that she had delayed the purchase of another vehicle for her Cape Town office "in compliance" with the Treasury's cost cutting measures.
"Members at national level may be provided with one vehicle for use in Cape Town and one vehicle for use in Pretoria'" she said.
"One official vehicle in Cape Town has also far exceeded the prescribed 120'000 km (151'062 km for the Minister) and the five-year period. In compliance with the National Treasury's cost containment measures' the Department has delayed the purchase of official vehicles for Cape Town.
"Although the money for the purchase of the new official vehicles for the Deputy Minister and Minister was budgeted for in the 2014/15 financial year' the following official vehicles were only purchased in the 2016/2017 financial year'" she said.

From the editor: Help us amplify your voice
Daniel Caudill, Editor in Chief|August 17, 2020
Daniel Caudill, former editor in chief
As fall classes are finally underway, you've probably had the point drilled in your head already: this semester is gonna be weird.
And while most of campus is adjusting its operations to be suited for a pandemic world, The Sunflower is no exception. Instead of printing twice a week, we'll be printing only on Mondays for a couple of reasons.
First, there will simply be fewer people on campus this semester at any given time. Second, producing one paper instead of two gives The Sunflower's staff more room to work from a distance and stay safe. Don't fret though — we'll still be doing daily coverage on our website, and you can expect each issue to be a bit more packed considering we'll have fewer issues overall.
During my time as editor, I want The Sunflower to continue to be a reliable, independent source of news for students at Wichita State, while growing its connection to the campus community.
As a student publication, I think one of The Sunflower's most important obligations is to provide a voice for the voiceless. We can serve our readers best when people from all backgrounds feel like they have a seat at the table. And as the university's historical record, how can we be accurate unless we're in tune with the struggles and triumphs of students from diverse backgrounds?
Whether it's writing a letter to the editor, sending a news tip, or applying for a position on staff, I want students to know that they can use The Sunflower to amplify their voices or shine light on issues that otherwise might not get noticed.
The biggest challenge for Wichita State in the coming year will be its response to the coronavirus outbreak and its human and economic impact. Many students may not be able to return to class, especially if they're facing their own hardships, and online learning has proved not to be a universal substitution for in-person instruction.
State universities, already facing tens of millions in lost revenue, will have to find funding elsewhere. Given WSU's track record and the fact that the state of Kansas will also be facing huge revenue losses in the coming year, it seems likely that the university will turn to private resources.
And while there can be some benefit to public-private partnerships, they're often obscured from public scrutiny and come with a lot of questions. That's where I think The Sunflower comes in.
As a student newspaper free of editorial oversight from the university, we can be the ones to ask tough questions and make sure the university's decisions are made in the best interest of the campus community.
The Sunflower also plays a critical role in preserving the stories from this historic point in time. Through the brand new Wichita Journalism Collaborative, The Sunflower will be cooperating with other local news organizations to cover the COVID-19 pandemic.
The project allows students journalists to pick up bylines in well established professional organizations, while also giving us the opportunity to pick up some high-quality coverage of the coronavirus.
Despite the big challenges we all face in the coming semesters, I'm optimistic about serving in this role. I have a passion for storytelling, and over the years since I joined The Sunflower's staff I've seen its ability to inform, connect and empower people. I hope I can lead the newspaper in a way that inspires other student journalists and helps establish truth in truly uncertain times.

How do Small and Medium Sized Enterprises, familiar and unfamiliar with Business Model Tooling, and different lifecycle stages, use Business Model Stress Testing in order to be more agile in responding market dynamics? In the continuously changing world, where Dynamic Markets demand Agile organisations that can cope with Disrupting Innovations, the European Union attempts to prepare Small and Medium sized Enterprises. The funded Envision platform aims to increase economic performance and innovativeness of organisations that are Familiar and Unfamiliar with Business Models, and in different Life Cycle stages, by using Business Model Innovation. In order to prepare Small and Medium sized Enterprises for the continuously changing world, the Business Model Stress Test could prepare the different types of users, by testing the Robustness of their Business Model. Improving the usability of Business Model Tools, i.e. Stress Testing, for the online platform of Envision, and thereby closing the discrepancy between users and tools, is essential when all type of users should be able to use Business Model Tools on the Envision platform.

Q: Using AppCenter, am I able to add user data to a unhandled crash report? We have a Xamarin.Android application for a client which is experiencing crashes on the field. They aren't reproducible when going through testing but we are able to handle the crash and add information like the user data to it. But when a crash that isn't handled happens, we just get an obscure log. I've been asked to try and get some user data into the unhandled crash to understand which user has caused it.
So, basically, am I able to add data to the log of an unhandled crash using AppCenters Library?
I've done some research and just found...
AndroidEnvironment.UnhandledExceptionRaiser += (sender, args) =>
{
    TraceWriter.WriteTrace(args.Exception);
    args.Handled = true;
};

This seems to be an overall exception handler. I read it would be just used to  get more info about the crash but can't handle it there as the Delvik machine on the device is already crashing. Is this something I could use to pass in more data to a crash?

A: You can add one binary and one text file to the crash report using Crashes.GetErrorAttachments. The file must be smaller than 7MB. There is more information available in the AppCenter Crashes documentation.
You can also set the user id in the AppCenter SDK using AppCenter.SetUserId so you can tell which user generated the crash report.

Now over to the bread.
If you are using sour dough starter or fresh yeast, mix this with the water first, preferably around 20 degrees C. If you are using dry yeast, mix it with the flour and add water. Mix/stir until you have a sticky, well-blended dough. Use plastic film, a clean hand towel or similar to cover the bowl and let it rest for 8-24 hours, depending on what suits you the best.
You can bake this in a cast iron casserole in the oven or in a bread form. If you are using a casserole, put in your oven with the lid on and set the oven to 230 degrees C. Let the casserole warm up with the oven. If not using a casserole, simply heat your oven to 230 degrees C.
Dust the kitchen counter or cutting board with lots of semolina flour and scrape the dough out of the bowl. Fold both sides of the wet dough into the middle, be careful not to squeeze all the gas out of the bread. Take the casserole out of the oven (wear mits please), and dust the bottom of it with semolina. Gently put the dough into the casserole, lid on and back in the oven. If using a bread form, apply same technique with the bread and put it in the oven.
Bake for approx. 30 minutes with the lid on and remove it for the last 5-10 minutes.

No Escape from a Policy Breach Even Years Later
Case Study: Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia v. Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada, 2021 SCC 47
Jessica Grant,
By Jessica Grant
This article originally appeared on the OBA Insurance Law Section's articles page.
On November 18, 2021, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its decision on whereby an insurer may be allowed to deny coverage based on a policy breach discovered several years down the road.
In Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia v. Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada ("TLABC v. RSA"), Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada ("RSA"), defended an action arising out of a motor vehicle accident ("the accident") on behalf of its insured, the deceased, Steven Devecseri ("Devecseri"), commenced against his estate. RSA defended the estate in two lawsuits commenced by individuals who allegedly sustained injuries as a result of the accident, including Mr. Jeffrey Bradfield ("Bradfield"). Three years following the accident, RSA became aware that the deceased had consumed alcohol immediately prior to the accident, thereby breaching the terms of the insurance policy. As a result, RSA took an off-coverage position, leaving the claimants' collective entitlement to the statutory minimum limits of $200,000, rather than the $1,000,000 issued to Devecseri. Bradfield sought a declaration of entitlement to recover judgement against RSA.
One of the fundamental issues considered by the Court was whether RSA had waived Devecseri's breach of the policy, and whether RSA was estopped from denying coverage to Devecseri's estate.
Trial Court's Reasoning
At trial, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted Bradfield's declaration. The Court found RSA had waived its right to deny full coverage by failing to take an off-coverage position and by providing a defence to Devecseri's estate in the course of the litigation. The Court did not consider the applicability of the doctrine of promissory estoppel as Bradfield was successful in establishing waiver by conduct.
Court of Appeal for Ontario's Reasoning
...Ontario's Insurance Act... only recognized waiver in writing
The Ontario Court of Appeal permitted RSA's appeal and provided clarification on two issues raised. First, at the time, s. 131(1) of Ontario's Insurance Act did not include waiver by conduct and only recognized waiver in writing. Considering the waiver must be given in writing, the Court found RSA had not waived any rights in writing. Second, since RSA did not have knowledge of Devecseri's breach of the insurance policy at the time and RSA provided a defence to his estate, RSA's conduct could not be considered as a promise or assurance which would have affected the parties' legal relationship. The Court was not convinced that such knowledge could be imputed to RSA, or that Bradfield had successfully established detrimental reliance.
Bradfield appealed.
Eventually, settlement was reached with RSA and Bradfield's appeal was discontinued. Nonetheless, the Supreme Court of Canada heard the case in order to provide clarification to the bar on the issues raised. As such, Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia ("Trial Lawyers") were substituted as the appellant.
Supreme Court of Canada's Reasoning
The Supreme Court of Canada held that RSA had not waived its right to deny coverage, since waiver by conduct was precluded by statute at the relevant time. With respect to promissory estoppel, the Court found RSA to not have intended to alter its legal relationship with Bradfield, since it lacked knowledge of Devecseri's breach.
After upholding the Court of Appeal's decision on the issue of waiver by conduct, the sole issue before the Court was whether RSA was estopped from denying coverage, since it had responded to the claims against Devecseri's estate for a period of time after it could have discovered evidence of Devecseri's breach of the policy.
In reaching its decision, the SCC outlined the requirements for establishing the equitable defence of promissory estoppel, as stated in Maracle v. Travellers Indemnity Co. of Canada, [1991] 2 S.C.R. 50. In order for promissory estoppel to apply:
the parties be in a legal relationship at the time of the promise or assurance;
the promise or assurance be intended to affect that relationship and to be acted on; and
the other party in fact relied on the promise or assurance to its detriment
Within the insurance realm, the defence of promissory estoppel is applicable in circumstances where the insurer later denies coverage due to the insured's breach of a policy term or the insured's ineligibility for insurance, after conducting itself in a manner consistent with coverage.
...promise to refrain from acting on information that it does not possess.
Ultimately, the Court rejected Trial Lawyers' promissory estoppel argument finding that in order to use the defence of promissory estoppel, the promisor (insurer) must have knowledge of the facts that are said to give rise to that legal relationship. The Court clarified that intention rests upon what the promisor knows, and the intention of the words or conduct must be assessed objectively. This has to do with both what the insurer knew and what the insurer reasonably ought to have known. A promisor cannot intend to alter a relationship by promising to refrain from acting on information that it does not possess. In this case, RSA provided no promise or assurance intended to affect its legal relationship with Bradfield. Moreover, RSA did not have knowledge of Devecseri's breach, particularly that he had consumed alcohol immediately prior to the accident, when defending his estate. These factors were imperative in the Court's decision-making on the promissory estoppel argument.
However, circumstances would differ if an insurer was in possession of the facts demonstrating a breach but failed to appreciate its legal significance. Then, an inference could be drawn that the insurer had knowledge of its right to withhold coverage, but through its conduct, remained acting in a manner consistent with providing coverage. This would demonstrate an insurer's intention to alter its legal relationship.
Regarding Trial Lawyers' argument about RSA having imputed knowledge of the breach, the Court found that had RSA been aware of the breach and failed to appreciate its legal significance, an argument could be made that RSA had imputed knowledge of the legal significance. Nevertheless, the Court did not find that to be the case here since RSA lacked knowledge of Devecseri's consumption of alcohol prior to the accident. Moreover, even though the coroner's report was available shortly after the accident and RSA denied coverage approximately three years later, the Court still did not find RSA to have imputed knowledge of the insurance policy breach. The Court found it noteworthy to highlight that neither RSA nor Bradfield or any other party took steps to obtain the coroner's report, further solidifying lack of knowledge about the consumption of alcohol.
...the Court provided two reasons for rejecting the argument...
Responding to Trial Lawyers' argument of RSA's duty to investigate the claim which would have led to constructive knowledge of the facts demonstrating the breach, the Court provided two reasons for rejecting the argument:
First, in order to hold that RSA had constructive knowledge of the breach, there would need to be an unwise and unnecessary modification made to the duty of an insurer. The Court recognized an insurer's strong economic incentive to deny coverage. Insurers have a duty to investigate a claim fairly, in a balanced and reasonable manner, without engaging in relentless searches for insurance policy breaches. Furthermore, in attributing constructive knowledge to RSA, Trial Lawyers relied on RSA's duty to know all facts within its grasp. However, Trial Lawyers failed to consider that the coroner's report which would indicate Devecseri's consumption of alcohol prior to the accident was not in possession of any of the parties.
Second, an insurer's duty to investigate a claim in a fair, balanced, and reasonable manner is owed solely to the insured, and not to a third party. As such, this duty only extended to the insured, Devecseri in this case, and not Bradfield. Hence, the Court rejected Trial Lawyers' argument that RSA had constructive knowledge of the breach through their duty to investigate thoroughly and diligently.
Overall, the Court ruled that RSA's conduct could not be interpreted as an unequivocal assurance that RSA would continue to provide coverage, even under circumstances where the insurance policy was breached. RSA's conduct with regards to continuing coverage was not indicative of its intent to alter legal relations. Moreover, RSA lacked knowledge of Devecseri's consumption of alcohol prior to the accident. The defence of promissory estoppel could not be made in this case.
He then noted that the releases produced by the defendants included additional terms, such as confidentiality and a waiver of independent legal advice. He found that these terms should not be enforced and that they had no bearing on the applicability of the "essential" terms of the settlement (that the action would be dismissed and that there would be no costs).

Q: How do I configure git to use a folder on another network? I have a local git repository with two folders running on my windows machine. One of the folders has .net code, the other has php code.
What I'd like to do is have the php code stored on a Ubuntu installation I have running on VirtualBox and git would use that instead of the windows directory.
How would I go about setting that up? I tried to create a shortcut to the ubuntu folder but git didn't want to follow it.

A: Ideally, you install git on your Ubuntu guest, and activate git daemon.
That will allow you to push your repo from the Windows host to your Ubuntu guest.
Then, one solution would be to plit your repo in two repos, that you can keep joined in one global repo through submodules.
That would allow you to push only the one with php content to your Ubuntu.
Or, simpler: you push everything, and have a post-receive hook deploying your php code where you need it.


Karting track located in Chestertown Maryland.
Track is only .25 mi long so the laps go by very quickly.
Links to replay videos and real life videos.
This is my first track. What a learning experience!!!
Bros rFactor Dedicated server is currently hosting Nicholson For anyone that wants to attempt a Hot lap in the Intercontinental A mod.
Released v1.001 less than one day after v1.000 . Forgot to include loading screen. File was mistakenly packed into .mas file. Sorry for the beginner mistake.
If you have installed the beta or any version previous to 1.001 delete that version before installing the new version.
I hope to start work on a second track soon!!!
There are currently no setups for Nicholson Speedway. Add a Setup.
I like to learn normal option of my computer which I have according to the latest and new update information. Basically there are only few things online which describe about the help microsoft windows 10 . Some wrong option may be obstacle but after read it, you can learn you can prevent it.
Anyone that experiences a missing sky.mas error should watch this youtube video.
I explain in the video what is wrong and how to fix the problem.
Thanks for the track brings back memories as when I lived in America I raced there once in State Championship in Jnr Sportsman 1 I think it was called. Is there anybody out there who could make Sandy Hook Speedway as that was my home track and I would be really greatful.
Edit, seen the Sandy Hook thread, good work can't wait for it.
I'd like your permission to develop a wet version of the track. May I?


By law, half of California's electricity is required to come from renewable sources by the year 2030. That is a big win. The vast majority of people want cleaner energy and less pollution. They want fewer toxins floating through the air, stealing the breath from their children. Many also want to make an impact on climate-changing greenhouse gases.
There is a problem though. Shifting to higher levels of pollution-free electricity requires addressing the issue of intermittent energy production. Intermittency is the biggest weakness of solar power and wind power.
The basic concept of intermittency being: the sun is not always shining, and the wind is not always blowing.
The good news is that the problem has many solutions, with more emerging every day. However, various advocates, including large-scale energy developers, industry groups, Governor Brown, and even some environmental groups, have been lobbying for a particularly risky approach for solving the problem of renewable energy intermittency. Their preferred strategy for addressing the problem is the formation of a regional grid operating authority. This operating authority concept is often referred to as regionalization.
California's electricity grid is a state grid run by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) – a private corporation regulated by a board which is appointed by the California governor. The system operator runs a wholesale market for electricity, balancing supply and demand around the state. It serves approximately 80 percent of California.
Western regionalization, commonly referred to simply as regionalization, is the concept of dissolving the state operator, CAISO and forming a new expanded grid operator with a larger footprint. The new region, illustrated in the diagram above, would include the majority of an additional 10 western states. Assembly Bill 813 (or AB 726), would put in motion the steps needed to accomplish that end.
If formed, that new entity would run a multi-state wholesale electricity market as a Regional Transmission Operator (RTO). The RTO would be guided by input from each of the 11 states in the west. California would be giving up its ability to choose the grid operator's governing board and its ability to reliably enforce its renewable portfolio requirements.
A larger geographic area provides a greater diversity of resources. In the southwest, there are greater solar resources than elsewhere. New Mexico and Wyoming have some of the best wind. Sharing those resources provides a more consistent renewable power output from the system as a whole.
Regionalization advocates say that geographically diverse siting of wind and solar, connected to population centers by large transmission infrastructure, is the only way to achieve a future without fossil fuels. They say that using the other options available will not suffice.
Luckily for California and the rest of the west, today's problem of intermittency has many solutions. And many of them can be accomplished without additional costs. Several even provide cost savings. States should pursue the best and lowest cost solutions first.
California has a wealth of renewable resources, including some of the best solar in the country.
GTM research noted that, as of 2018, "A residential solar-plus-[battery] system installed today in California can break even within seven years." Manufacturers provide standard 25-year warranties, meaning that Californians would receive 18 years of free electricity under warranty.
Commercial scale solar is even cheaper than residential solar. Commercial scale solar-plus-battery systems are leading the way to greater local resilience and efficiency while saving businesses money.
The fact that rooftop solar is much cheaper than utility-provided power is appealing, but better yet, the system GTM described includes batteries and thus addresses various intermittency issues.
In addition to local stationary batteries, the following are some other approaches to addressing the intermittency of renewable energy with California-based solutions. These approaches produce savings or incur lower costs than building thousands of miles of new electrical transmission lines – new transmission being a key feature of the RTO based solution.
Instead of one solution to intermittency, there are many, with options growing every day. Each of these options could be used individually or in combination. They are most powerful when combined and could be integral in solving one piece of the problem – that of renewable energy curtailment.
Renewable curtailment refers to the actions taken by the grid operator to shut down solar or wind production due to system imbalances. This happens in spite of the fact that California has never achieved 100 percent clean energy production. To date, any time solar has been curtailed in the state, fossil fuel power plants have continued to run. That points to a problem with the overall system within which the grid operator has to work.
Electric Vehicles (EVs): Time-of-Use electricity rates for EVs incentivize EV owners to charge in the middle of the night when the grid is primarily using fossil fuel-based electricity instead of the middle of the day when a much higher percentage of renewable energy is available. The pricing needs to change so that electric vehicle owners are more likely to charge when renewable electricity generation is abundant.
Transmission charges are added to all electricity. The point where the transmission access charge is assessed should be changed from the distribution/end-user interface to the transmission/distribution interface. If that happened, transmission fees would only be attached to electricity that uses the transmission system, and renewable energy production within the distribution grid would no longer be forced to subsidize distant power plants' infrastructure. A point worth noting is that most of those distant power plants, receiving transmission subsidies, run on fossil fuels.
Fixing these problems would reduce congestion on the system, especially the transmission system, and allow renewable energy to displace fossil fuels on the grid. They would provide a more balanced and fair market instead of a market tilted in favor of fossil fuels. Both fixes are nearly free to implement. The goal is to never have a renewable energy source sitting unused if fossil fuel plants are running.
The following is a more detailed look at the positive impact electric vehicles can have on the grid.
Each of those vehicles will use batteries to store electricity.
Since cars are parked 95% of the time, their batteries can frequently be used to balance supply and demand of intermittent renewable electricity. Cars are also fairly evenly spread throughout the grid – providing battery resources where they are needed. Those batteries can combat curtailment of renewable energy production.
Recently the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) studied how much supply/demand flexibility California would need in order to eliminate renewable energy curtailment when the state finally achieves 50% renewable energy in the electricity sector (fig. ES-3). The UCS study concluded that 9 gigawatts of battery storage could reduce renewable curtailment to one-tenth-of-one-percent.
The governor's executive order for five million electric vehicles (also with a 2030 target) can provide 55 gigawatts of electricity draw – six times the amount of instantaneous electricity demand required to eliminate renewable curtailment.
In combination, the UCS research and the governor's executive order show that California will have all the tools needed to ramp up to 50 percent renewable energy by 2030 without resorting to renewable curtailment.
Those findings allow California a significant amount of time to more carefully evaluate its options. That additional time is absolutely needed because the benefits of regionalization are questionable, and there are plenty of risks.
Advocates for regionalization promote it as a boon to renewable energy. However, PacifiCorp, a giant western utility which generates 61% of its electricity from coal, has advocated for regionalization from the beginning. It's hard to understand why a utility that plans to continue operating its coal power plants for decades would favor regionalization if a regional grid actually benefited clean energy.
The proposed legislation does nothing to limit participation in a newly formed Regional Transmission Operator. As proposed, any state or utility would be able to join.
PacifiCorp isn't the only champion of fossil fuel in the west. Five of the eleven western states sued the EPA over the Clean Power Plan and the eight landlocked western states produce 500 times more electricity from coal than California does.
In a regional grid, coal power has access to the California market to a much greater degree than it does today.
As soon as electricity leaves a power plant and enters the grid, it becomes anonymous. Coal power plants and solar panel arrays create identical electrons. There is no gate or technology which can restrict dirty electrons from being sold to California customers if the entire west falls under the same umbrella. Electricity buyers such as utilities must buy the market energy mix. They cannot limit their market purchases to just clean power.
A regional grid would shackle California to staunchly fossil fuel states. As stakeholders, those fossil fuel advocates would have seats on the board of the Regional Transmission Operator. And any disputes among the board members would be arbitrated by the federal government.
A little over a year ago, there were some changes in the White House with wide-ranging consequences in energy markets.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), with four of its five commissioners appointed by President Trump, oversees wholesale electricity markets. That oversight includes CAISO, California's grid operator. However, California does have some powers unique to its market.
California won a 2004 court battle against FERC (ISO v. FERC) cementing the state's right to a governor-appointed board to direct CAISO. Joining a regional grid operator would eliminate that board, and severely impair California's authority to determine the content of its energy portfolio.
That authority would fall to the RTO entity, representing primarily fossil fuel entrenched states, and FERC's commissioners. So it is worth looking at the commissioners' track records.
Kevin McIntyre, FERC's Chairman, spent the last 30 years defending big energy companies in their dealings with FERC. Commissioner Powelson called New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo a real "Debbie Downer," for not allowing hydraulic fracturing within New York and compared anti-pipeline activists to jihadists. Commissioner Chatterjee has already proposed subsidizing coal power plants.
The FERC commissioners are not likely to be friends of California's energy policies.
Regional grid advocates themselves say that the plan would eliminate 23,000 wind and solar jobs (fig. 5) and that 3,000 miles of new, out-of-state transmission would be needed for importing out-of-state energy (table 2.8).
Replacement costs of transmission lines are approximately one million dollars per mile (p 4). New lines are even more costly. Thus the initial cost for the out-of-state transmission alone would be well over three billion dollars. When adding up the total lifetime costs of those projects, they could be almost triple the initial project costs, similar to the Sunrise Powerlink.
Instead of spending billions on out-of-state transmission lines, those dollars could be directed to incentivizing in-state solar and battery buildout. That would keep the renewable energy jobs in the state. It would also reinforce and strengthen our local economies for decades through energy payments to local companies.
Down the road, it might be possible that regionalization will be required to displace the last five to ten percent of the remaining fossil fuels supplying the grid. However, it is at least a decade too early to even make a guess at the best way to eliminate the final few percentages of fossil fuel on the grid. In 2016 California's power mix had barely even crested 25% renewable energy.
Solar-plus-storage and electric vehicle-based demand response provide two options for fully integrating renewable energy well into the future. Other options are also preferable to regionalization.
In fact, it is possible that solar panel and battery technologies will allow California and other states to proceed all the way to 100% clean energy without regionalization. Since 2010, battery costs have decreased 80% and solar costs have fallen by 70%. Costs are still falling rapidly. Ten years from now, regionalization-required transmission lines could seem as quaint and outdated as a black and white television.
Instead of investing California's future renewable energy hopes in the risky and expensive proposition of regionalization, prudence dictates that the state keep its options open and allow renewable energy technology to continue its rapid advancement.
California may never need to join a regional grid. It definitely does not need to join one within the next decade.
California ratepayers should not get stuck with the bill for needless, expensive, out-of-state transmission projects. Make a call to your state legislators to make your voice heard. You can find your legislators here.
Let them know that you Oppose AB 813 and AB 726 (both regionalization bills). Be polite and make sure to note the specific bills. You can reinforce your position with any of the following.
Do not eliminate 23,000 California based wind and solar jobs.
Renewable energy is cheaper when it is local.
Keep coal out of California.
California dollars to provide California energy should result in California jobs… not out-of-state boondoggles.
Retain California's ability to select its own grid operator oversight board.

Eliminating 23,000 California based wind and solar jobs is a really bad idea!


Lansing, MI – Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that car buyers can enjoy the convenience of driving off the lot with new license plates and registration tabs in place, under a program with participating auto dealers.
The Dealer Direct program gives vehicle buyers the ease of one-stop shopping at new car dealerships. Participating dealers can issue new plates and tabs on site, saving customers a return trip. It also eliminates the need to wait for new plates and tabs to arrive by mail. Vehicle titles can be processed at the dealership as well, though they will still be mailed by the Department of State.
Easily calculating taxes and fees for titles, registrations and permits so that customers can see the total cost of their purchase.
Fewer dealer title and registration transactions that need to go to a Secretary of State office, which speeds up service for other customers.
The Dealer Direct concept had been considered by the department for more than 10 years, though it stalled due to cost and technology issues. Upon taking office, Land explored alternatives that resulted in a successful pilot program with interested dealers last year. Nearly 20 new car dealerships across Michigan are participating. Thirty-one more are expected to be up and running in the coming months and about 120 others have signed up.
The Michigan Automobile Dealers Association shared its expertise with the department during the program's development. It is enthusiastic about the opportunities for dealers and their customers, according to Terry Burns, executive vice president.
Participating dealers use software provided by CVR, a company specializing in computerized vehicle registration systems. CVR currently serves 20 other states in addition to Michigan. Visit michigan.gov/sos for more information about other Department of State programs, services and requirements.

Northern Gorehouse: Vampires and Zombies and Brexit
This entry was posted in Brexit Northern Gorehouse Vampire zombies on March 26, 2019 by Ian Pattinson
The 'Brexit novel' is a thing, but they tend to be literary works, which aren't really my thing. I would like to make the case for Northern Gorehouse being not only a fun alternative, but also one of the first to be published
The novel was finished in April or May of 2017, but it didn't feel right to release it so soon after the Arena bombing, given the violent ending of the story. So it came out for Halloween of that year.
The book was written as an action horror story. The ability to map the stupid politics of the last few years onto it is a bonus. Indeed, the B word is only mentioned once in the story, right at the beginning, to establish the run down state of the nation, and show how the vampires have come in to take advantage of it.
Vampires as a stand in for capitalists and the ruling elite is not a new metaphor, but as I've established it's post Brexit, I'm going to call them the disaster capitalists who caused, and benefit from, all the pain. Being vampires, they, of course, take advantage of the homeless the country has abandoned. And have corrupt servants in the political system, covering up for them, and pushing policies that aid them. Again, not new tropes in vampire fiction, but ones that map perfectly well onto the Brexit theme.
Of course, the political allegory was never the main aim of the story, and it's harder to map metaphor onto it once the action really starts. The zombies are created by the vampires but (spoiler) it's an accident. In a true Brexit allegory, they would be a deliberate method for distracting people at street level and keeping them away from turning on the elite.
Similarly, the fact that vampires exist wouldn't be such a shock in a more pointed Brexit take. Everyone would have at least an inkling they were there, but their bought politicians and the media would be demanding that people look the other way.
Since I wrote the book, I've discovered another character who wasn't included- the Brave Warrior claiming to be from a long line of vampire hunters, who has actually betrayed the people they pretend to be protecting, for reasons that don't make any sense. There's no Lexit Van Helsing in Northern Gorehouse.
I think you should read my accidental Brexit novel. If nothing else, you can pretend the vampires are Farage, Gove, Johnson et al. (It won't be any stretch at all with Rees Mogg.)
B-Movie Night: "Zombies! Thousands of them!"
This entry was posted in B Movie Night zombies on October 31, 2017 by Ian Pattinson
In the run up to the launch of Northern Gorehouse, and then for the week until Halloween, I've watched a few zombie films. I shuffled over 70 of them to the top of my rental list at Cinema Paradiso (my chosen, and recommended replacement for Lovefilm). Obviously, I ddn't get through all of them, but maybe I'll keep adding undead reviews to this post as they arrive.
Zombie Creeping Flesh (AKA Hell of the Living Dead, in the print used for this disc)
Something called the Hope Project is working to solve the problems of overpopulation and food shortages. Of course, they're doing this by creating a eugenics gas that will be used to kill off the world's poor. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't work, and has unforeseen side effects (can you guess what they are?)
After a couple of establishing scenes- a gas leak at the Hope plant, involving a cool zombie rat moment, and a hostage situation at the US consulate in an unnamed country- we get into the action proper. Four special forces operatives, previously seen gunning down the hostage takers, are in Papua, New Guinea on a secret mission. Pretty soon, they stumble upon a reporter, her cameraman, and their unfortunate guides. The guides have brought their seven year old son along, and he's been attacked by a "crazed native", and will soon die. Cue the soldiers' first encounter with zombies, and an undead toddler who was genuinely creepy.
After this, the group stumbles around the jungle, meeting zombies everywhere and, each time, forgetting the lesson they've learnt about shooting them in the head. The best sequence is when they come upon a native village. The reporter says she spent nearly a year with local tribes, and knows how to gain their trust, promptly stripping off and daubing on body paint. The villagers are carrying out funeral rituals for their dead, who have all succumbed to a mysterious disease in the last few days. When the corpses come back to life, the soldiers and their passengers take off and abandon them.
One by one, the group are picked off by the undead, the soldiers proving too highly strung and incompetent to save themselves, let alone the rest of the world. They find the chemical plant and…. do nothing. The epilogue shows us how the gas has carried to the rest of the world and the true zombie apocalypse has begun.
This Italian production was one of the 'video nasties' banned in the UK in the early eighties. It certainly has the gore effects to merit that, all appropriately gruesome, backed up by stock footage for scene setting. It wanders from one bloody set piece to the next, lacking a coherent plot, But, be honest, it's the blood that the story's all about.
Not a classic of the genre, but a fun time capsule of blood and entrails.
Zombie Undead
Low-to-no budget efforts such as this should be applauded for seeing the project through to the end. However, a participation medal is all I'm willing to give out to this uninspired film.
The tautologically twisted title hints at the lack of invention inside. A dirty bomb has gone off in a British city, and a bunch of survivors are trapped in a provincial hospital filled with undead and with only one way out. They go nowhere for most of the film. Stilted acting struggles with a clumsy script, shot with little thought to production design and no obvious colour correction or grading to pump up the flat imagery.
Gore effects are good, and the mini movie in the closing titles is better than the rest of the film put together. So there's hope. Best of luck to the team behind this, and I hope they come up with a more original idea next time, do a few more drafts of the script, and take the time to frame better shots.
Zombi Holocaust
Very few zombies in this one, despite the title. The ones who do show up are more brain damaged slaves than shambling undead. This is actually a cannibal film.
After a bunch of cannibal attacks across the US, a team of anthropologists is sent to the place the protagonists all came from. This place is the mysterious island of Kito in the not-at-all-insultingly-named Mullato chain. Along the way, they drop in on a famous surgeon who's dropped out to do missionary service in the islands. Following his directions to the wrong island, they end up on Kito nonetheless.
Soon enough, their guides are being picked off and eaten by the natives. Whittled down to a final two, they eventually find out why one of this film's alternate titles was Doctor Butcher M.D. (Medical Deviant).
The gore effects are mostly well done, there's some gratuitous nudity, and the evil doctor gets his deserved comeuppance. But the storytelling is disjointed, the way so many Italian horrors of the era could be, and the racism inherent in the sub-genre.
Bonus material on the disc included a documentary about the short-lived cannibal genre, which produced few great works of art, but was well represented on the video nasties list.
Zombie Virus On Mulberry Street
Another case of false advertising, because it's actually a were-rat virus. As the infection takes hold across Manhattan, the occupants of an apartment block on teh eponymous street fight to survive.
It's another low budget effort, but not as low as Zombie Undead, and definitely more better scripted and directed. It also helps that it takes place in the Big Apple, rather than some non-descript English market town.
Similar in many ways to Mulberry Street, this Spanish horror is even more tightly paced and chilling. Its creatures are closer to the traditional zombie as well.
A two person film crew from a local television station is shooting a night in the life of a fire station. Responding to a call in an apartment block, they're soon out of their depth as an unknown infection turns the occupants into flesh eating monsters.
With its found footage technique of viewing everything through the news cameraman's lens, and the characters trapped in the block for most of the film, it's more effectively claustrophobic than Mulberry Street. In that one, at least they got to pop to the bar next door. There aren't many occupants in the block, but the confined space means that each one that changes increases the threat level immensely.
Vampire Apocalypse
This one sneaked in as a last gasp from Lovefilm. A low budget vampire romantic dark comedy, it stars Jason Mewes, who's initially unrecognisable without the long hair he sports as Jay in all those Kevin Smith films. He plays Jack, a lovelorn paramedic trapped on the night shift with his arse (well, ass, as this is a US/Canadian productio- but I can't bring myself to say ass) obsessed co-driver and only friend.
When Jack meets Danica, she's covered in blood down a dodgy alley near his home. Trying to help her out, and clean her up, he falls in love almost immediately. Things are going great, until he comes home to find she has taken a big chunk out of his ex-girlfriend's neck.
Desperate to sate his vampire girlfriend's thirst, Jack initially helps her feast on the local drug dealers and hide their bodies. But things soon get out of his control.
Not a masterpiece, but I'd definitely call this a little known gem. The Apocalypse part of the name is a bit off, and it seems the original name was Bitten, which is more appropriate.
Zombie Hunters
This one hits the new low, taking the prize away from Zombie Undead. On top of the poor script, direction and acting, there's also some really bad CGI as well.
In the future, everyone lives on walled cities, spending all their time in virtual reality. Five wannabe real-life hunters break out, intent on bagging a deer. Unfortunately, the place they've chosen is just over the hill from a secret military research establishment which has just created, and leaked, a magical wound healer that also raises the dead. Cue boring, tension-free, useless zombie killing.
Another little gem, this one is full of inventively gory Aussie humour. After meteor chunks and/or aliens- it's kept nicely ambiguous, right to the end- land in an outback town, people start turning into white eyed walking corpses. A slowly dwindling bunch of survivors tries to fight their way out of the town. I won't try to break down the action for you, but recommend going off and watch it yourself.
Zombies Versus Vampires, part 1 1
This entry was posted in Northern Gorehouse Vampire zombies on October 15, 2016 by Ian Pattinson
Now available as Northern Gorehouse!
The black tower was a stake driven into the heart of the city. Overbearing and ugly, it loomed over the pale sandstone and red brick of the lower rise buildings cowering under it.
Terry knew the story- a version of it, anyway. The development had been proposed by a pair of footballers, looking to invest in property for lucrative retirements. But post-Brexit decline meant all the floors remained unsold, and the sportsmen wanted out of the project. Mysterious partners and backers- Russians, everyone agreed- stepped in to buy out the famous faces and finish the buildings themselves.
No-one got into the tower. No-one that anyone knew, anyway. It was a mystery. A slab of darkness looking down on the city centre. There were shops at ground level, then two storeys of offices, but, above those, the dark windows swallowed sunlight during the day, and never lit up at night. So it was surprising- and thrilling and frightening- that Glenn said he could get in.
Terry wavered between being wary of Glenn, and being in awe of him. The older man- only a few years, but it seemed to count for so much- gave the impression he had decided to be Terry's protector. It didn't feel like the other times men had taken an interest in him, Glenn didn't look at him the way they had. And he wouldn't let anyone else. There were plenty of predators around Tent Town, prowling for a piece of fresh meat who looked as young as Terry did. But Glenn wouldn't allow them the chance. So far, he hadn't asked anything in return. Perhaps he was truly a good person.
They were in an alley behind the towers, where the goods for the ground floor shops were delivered. In front of them was a heavy door, clad in pale grey metal, and with a large shiny handle and security grade brass lock. To the right were the roller shutters protecting the windows of one of the shops. Left of the door was a galvanised fence, to keep them from falling into the bottom of the ramp that ran down to another large roller shutter. This lower shutter blocked the entrance to the tower's exclusive underground parking.
Glenn put his hand on the door handle and turned to grin at Terry. "Wait'll you see inside here! It's mad." He pressed down on the handle and pushed at the door.
The door didn't open. Glenn's confident smile faltered, until they heard a click, and the door opened.
It was dark on the other side of the threshold. Much darker than under the bright security light outside. Terry waited on the threshold, unsure, until Glenn grasped his cuff and pulled him in. The tug was more violent than Terry had come to expect from his protector. He was too shocked to pull back, though, and quickly found himself inside.
The door closed with an ominous thud. Terry flinched at the sound, then again as a light in the ceiling turned on. The glow was only around them, the rest of the space wasn't illuminated yet. The darkness was thick, and the detail revealed by lamplight fell off quickly. Terry could see the door, the wall either side of it, and a short way along the narrow corridor. There was no handle on this side of the door, just a vertical pull bar from top to bottom of it, and a brushed steel number pad on the wall.
Glenn was his smiling, reassuring self again, the flashes of impatience and anger gone. He beckoned Terry to follow him. As he strode into the dark, another light came on above him, revealing more of the corridor.
The floor was marble, Terry thought, looking down at the blood red veins marking the shiny off-white surface. A stone stuck in the tread of Glenn's boots clicked against the floor with each step.
The space wasn't very large, but it was lavish. The marble of the floor extended halfway up the walls, where a narrow gilt band separated it from the dark wood of the upper half and the ceiling. The lights were set in the cornice at the top of the wall on alternate sides, and activated by movement. The sections behind went dark as they left them. When the fourth set of lights turned on, they were at the far end of the hall, standing before the polished brass of an elevator's door.
Glenn pressed a button on the wall and, with a ping, the door opened. He stepped in, beckoning Terry after him. "Come on. Come on. He's expecting us." Terry worried about what that meant, but stepped in anyway.
The floor and lower wall of the elevator was the same sort of marble as the hallway. There was a wide band of pleated and padded red leather at waist height, and flat brass above that. The metal gave the appearance of having been polished to a gleam, then brushed with a stiffer metal to take the shine off and distort the reflections until they were matt shadows.
Terry stroked, then pressed, the leather, and found it surprisingly soft and supple. He looked to Glenn for some explanation of what came next.
There was a polished panel of buttons set in the brass. As the door closed, Glenn pressed the top one.
The box rose up its shaft rapidly. Terry felt the acceleration in the soles of his feet and the pit of his empty stomach. Glenn had promised him food if he came along, but had said nothing about someone waiting for them. Terry knew, now, that he should have questioned Glenn more. The hunger was stronger than the worry, though, so he leant back against the soft leather and waited to reach the top floor.
Suddenly feeling light, Terry knew the lift had halted. How high up were they, he wondered, as the door opened. He couldn't remember how many floors the tower had, but he knew they were above anywhere else in the city when he looked across the wide space that had been revealed, and took in the view through the dark tinted windows. "Penthouse suite." Glenn told him.
Terry walked toward the windows, drawn by the view. The floor was the same marble again, but he couldn't make out many other details. The room was dark, lit only by small lights in the ceiling. Reaching the window, Terry touched fingertips to the glass, finding it warmer than he expected, and looked down at the Town Hall. A long way down.
The lights that illuminated the Gothic façade of the Town Hall were muted, made a strange grey by whatever coated the floor to ceiling window. This must be the tint that kept the building dark, no matter what time of day it was.
"Life in the sky, mate. Innit brilliant. We can have this view as long as you keep him happy. He does like pretty boys like you, he said."
Terry didn't turn round to look at Glenn. He just had to look up to see the reflection in the glass. Glenn was about halfway across the floor, under one of the lights, the lower half of his face shadowed, so Terry couldn't properly see his grin. The top half of his face, however, showed greed. Terry was going to fight his expression back to passivity before he turned. He wouldn't show Glenn his disappointment. The older man wasn't his friend, but his pimp.
"Lap of luxury, am I right? You'll let him do what he wants, and we'll be set." Glenn wasn't asking. He expected Terry's compliance.
Focussing on his own reflection in the glass, Terry forced the down turned edges of his mouth flat. This was just another betrayal in a lifetime of betrayals. He was angry at himself for having thought Glenn wouldn't let him down.
"He should be here soon. I mean, he said he'd…." Glenn's words were cut short, and he made a sucking sound, then a strange, pained whistling.
Still, Terry couldn't bring himself to turn. He shifted his gaze to Glenn's reflection, and fought down a cry. Glenn's head was tilted to the left, an expression of wide eyed surprise on his face. The skin down the right side of his neck was torn open in a jagged U, from which blood flowed profusely.
The more powerful spurts leapt out into the air, then disappeared. They were going into a red rimmed hole, which might have been in the shape of a mouth, ringed with sharp, even serrations that could be teeth. Two of the teeth, at the top of the circle, were longer than the others.
Glenn managed to move, finally. His right hand reached into a pocket, and drew out a knife. The blade flipped open with an instinctive move of his thumb, then came up and back. Most of the determination drained away, however, before the knife reached the top of its arc. It struck something, slid to the side, then dropped from Glenn's hand. There may have been the hint of a line of blood, raised by the blade, hanging in the air.
The bloody mouth closed, then opened in a grimace to let out a little sound of disgust. Glenn collapsed, a soft bag of flesh and loosely connected bones.
"Do let me see you, little one. Are you as pretty as he promised?" the floating lips of blood said.
There was something about the voice that could not be ignored. Terry turned slowly. What he saw made him take a frightened step back, until he was pressed against the glass.
Standing over Glenn's body was a woman. She was tall and slim, with long, jet black hair, wearing a tight sheath dress, split on the left to reveal a shapely thigh, and with wide sleeves that hung down from her arms like limp wings. She reached down, and tore a strip from Glenn's shirt, using it to wipe the blood from around her mouth. Running it across her forehead, she dabbed up the blood from the wound that Glenn had inflicted. The skin under the thin red line had already closed. Done with the rag, she dropped it so that it draped itself over Glenn's face.
"You are lovely. Yes, you are. He was a horrible little man, and he tasted foul, but at least he was honest about that." The woman took a step toward Terry. She was beautiful, even in the unforgiving light directly above her. Terry felt himself relaxing, when he was sure he should be running. His limbs weren't under his control, it seemed.
Just as Terry felt happy to succumb to this stunning woman, her expression changed. She was hungry, looking at him like a delicious meal. Somehow, without lines appearing on the perfect, pale skin of her face, she appeared ancient. Centuries showed themselves for the briefest of moments.
Terry could do nothing as the woman drew right up to him. His head tilted to the left, exposing his neck to her. "You will taste so much better than your friend. And I will not tear at this perfect skin, no. No. And you can take a taste in return. You shall be so much more than just one meal."
The teeth entered Terry's neck so gently he didn't know his skin had been penetrated. An ecstasy he had never before felt flowed out from the wounds and filled his body.
Then it all went black.

B-Movie Night: Cockneys Vs Zombies
This entry was posted in B Movie Night Review zombies on April 11, 2013 by Ian Pattinson
Eventually, everyone will get to take on zombies. As a bonus, this film gives you OAPs versus zombies as well.
A pair of bumbling brothers want to carry out a bank job to get enough money to save their grandfather's old folks home from demolition. They rope in their multi-talented cousin, a bumbling crook and a psycho Gulf War veteran with a metal plate in his head
Despite a haul of £2million, things soon go horribly wrong, thanks partly to the psycho vet, but mostly because the building site next to the OAP home has unearthed a plague pit full of zombies. As the dead shamble through the East End, the gang take a couple of hostages and head off to rescue their granddad. The old chap and several of his chums- including Richard Briers in one of his last performances- are doing a good job of protecting themselves. Luckily for them, zombies don't move much faster than a man with a zimmer frame.
This is a fun addition to the zomcom subgenre. It uses Cockney cliches to comic effect- particularly the convoluted explanations for rhyming slang given by one of the old codgers- without overplaying them. There are some suitably gory zombie takedowns- the "mouth zombie" and undead baby being particularly funny. There's even an appearance by a Routemaster double decker, Boris Johnson's favourite type of bus. Digital effects allow for London as a burning wasteland and some neat zombie bisections.
There's a short section about halfway in- when the gang are holed up after the bank job and zombie outbreak- where the film loses its momentum for a while, but it gets back up to speed when they set off on their rescue mission. Apart from that, the film's fun and funny, with occasional laugh out loud moments and some enjoyable action. Providing you're not looking for anything too deep (or truly gory), then this is an enjoyable little film. Buy Cockneys Vs Zombies from Amazon.

Sadly Ebay won't let me easily embed the image on here, you'll have to click through to see it in all its glory. You have one day to buy this unique bust.
Zombie Barbie Bust
"Retro 80's doll rises from the dead"
This resin bust was inspired by the "Walking Dead – Bicycle Girl Zombie" and has been sculpted, cast in resin and handpainted by myself.
The bust features some amazing detail including – Dead Kens head – with exposed brains, Barbies broken arm and hand, a Severed Barbie doll foot, exposed ribs, torn off jaw, skeletal backbone, torn and wrinkled flesh, Barbie hair, flocked base with swamp effect grass, dirt and sticks.
This is a truly amazing piece and features an outstanding paintjob, including zombie toned flesh, veins and blood splats etc.
Unfortunately the pictures do not do this piece justice as they show up very red for some reason, and also the gloss wet look varnish has a bit too much shine on camera.
This will make a great addition to any Horror Collection and I will only be making a limited number – and this is #1
"This thing is Gross, Get it off the kitchen table" – My girlfriend
"Awesome mate" – Chris from work
"I want one" – Everyone who has seen it so far!!

May is Zombie Awareness Month
This entry was posted in zombies on May 4, 2010 by Ian Pattinson
Why Not October?
Despite common misconceptions, zombies – and the threat they represent – are not connected with the late October pagan tradition of Halloween. Witches, ghouls and vampires, all Halloween staples, are otherworldly creatures of old, filled with mysticism and superstition.
Zombies, on the other hand, are biological entities, made of flesh and blood, and functioning under the same laws of science and reason that all worldly beings must.
I'm off to buy axes and chainsaws.

There are plans for a Captain America movie to be made in the next year or two. This isn't it.
Ip Man
. This one's actually from 2008, but I like a good martial arts epic. I've included a link to buy the DVD.
Micmacs.
Knight & Day. I'm conflicted. The trailer looks good, and suggests Cruise isn't taking himself too seriously. But it's still a film with Tom Cruise in it.
George A Romero's Survival of the Dead. Ah, zombies.
Splice. I'd say it could be the new Species

We need a bigger television
This entry was posted in Burnout Midnight Club video games zombies on December 3, 2008 by Ian Pattinson
A quick review of recent video game purchases in casa Spinneyhead.
Drive around a detailed Los Angeles, challenging other drivers to races and winning or buying cars and upgrades.
Good Mayhem, just like in Midnight Club 3. The customising is still fun, though I haven't yet found a car with the option of a roof chop.
Bad There don't seem to be as many hidden jumps as in MC3, such as over the aircraft carrier in San Diego or the huge one which gave you 20 to 30 seconds of air time as you flew over several city blocks. Also it doesn't seem to have a direction, or perhaps I just haven't challenged enough of the right drivers.
Also available for the Playstation 3.
Burnout: Paradise
Another entry in the Burnout franchise. In Paradise you have a city to explore, the same as in Midnight Club. Rather than challenging other drivers as you find them you can join races at most junctions. There's a variety of events- racing, survival, point scoring stunt runs and the lunacy of Takedowns. I haven't found any crash events yet. It would be a shame if one of the best parts of earlier iterations was missing from this one. There are also barriers to be broken down, billboards to smash and top jumps to make, so the fun rarely lets up.
Good Chaos, takedowns and so many things to break.
Bad Possibly no crash events. I write off my car too often (okay, that might be me). Navigation in races can be a pain.
Dead Rising
This has a lot of promise and I enjoy some features. But certain idiosyncracies make it infuriating. Perhaps if I'd played more survival horror games I wouldn't have so many problems with it. You play a photojournalist trapped in the biggest scoop of your career- a shopping mall full of zombies. All you have to do is be at the helipad when your three days are up. Along the way you can figure out what has happened, or just kill lots of zombies.
Good Almost anything you can pick up can be a weapon, apart from food which replenishes your lives. My favourites so far are the lawn mower and the hockey stick. The latter saw off nearly a hundred zombies I'd cornered in a narrow hallway.
Bad The controls. Specifically for the radio I'm supposed to use to get missions sent to me. I can never seem to answer it and usually end up dropping weapons instead. Aiming and firing guns is clumsy, making them possibly the least useful weapons.
Also available for the Wii, coming out next year. Maybe the Wiimote will make shooting easier. It should definitely make waving things around more entertaining.
All of these games would benefit from a bigger television to play them on. The racing games are so detailed that you can get overloaded and drive into a wall. Blowing them up would probably help that. Dead Rising has tiny text that I can't read for the mission briefings, often leaving me with little clue what's going on. A bigger screen would solve that as well.
Horrified B-Movie actors and other fun figure sets
This entry was posted in figures Odd zombies on October 29, 2008 by Ian Pattinson
There is no scale specified for these Horrified B-Movie Actors figures, which is a shame. With heights of 6.4cm to 7.6cm I'd guess at 1:20-something. You might be able to mix them up with model cars for a diorama- a 1950s Chevy, battered '40s Ford and a creeping blob maybe. Or you could replace the blob with glow in the dark zombies. Or, if the screamers are Creationists, the Evolving Darwin set.
Other sets include the Paparazzi and the Office Monkeys.

Notes from Joseph Chilton Pearce The Biology of Transcendence by Michael Mendizza All of us know intuitively that we are not by nature savage beasts. Fewer, however, are aware that we are driven to some fairly beastly behaviors by enculturation, despite the fact that the process itself is . This book has dozens, woven together in a powerful fabric to provide intelligent clothing for a new paradigm of transcendence. A major argument of this book is that transcendence, the ability to go beyond limitation and restraint, is our biological birthright, built into us genetically, and blocked by enculturation/5(53).
