Signs
I'm not sure at this point how many people have made their return to
Fort McMurray but signs of the community coming back to life have been
everywhere. The biggest auditory hint of that is no doubt the sound of
the countless lawnmowers and trimmers I've been hearing the past couple
of days and they continue now even now as I type this. It's also hard
not to miss the many visual signs expressing
The Nature of the Beast
I suspect that this will be the last post I make before my hoped-for
scheduled return to Fort McMurray on Saturday. I'm trying my best to
prepare myself mentally for the next few days though I've seen enough
video online to help calm my nerves. The one thing video can't show is

unlock my front door. In my mind, I have an idea o

Years from now, when I recount the adventures of the past several weeks
to my son, grandchildren and anyone else who will listen, about how I

history, I know I will look back and see how I was prepared. I will
also see the way in which I was successfully prepared and, since I see
myself as a pretty honest guy, see a few things
Preparations
Slowly, I'm transitioning into the next phase of my little unexpected
summer adventure and starting to focus on my return to Fort McMurray
early next month. I have to admit that, thinking about all that this
entails, it has been a daunting task at times. I don't have an exact
return date nailed down yet though that will be the easy part. After
that comes a full inspection of my home, photos of a

New Insights into Ceres’ Bright Spots
One reason for catching up with recent planetary science here in the
Solar System is the upcoming arrival of Juno, which enters into polar
orbit around Jupiter on July 4. Juno’s arrival is a reminder that the
past year has been packed with interesting news from places like
Pluto/Charon (New Horizons), Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (Rosetta),
and the topic of today’s post, the intriguing dwarf pl
Looking Back: Pluto’s Twilight Landscape
Friday’s look at the possible composition of Pluto’s Sputnik Planum
took me into a deep enough dive on the two papers — Pluto gets my full
attention! — that I ran out of time. I had planned to include the images
below in that post, but we can do that this morning as a reminder that
New Horizons shows no signs of running out of data. What caught my eye
here was the possible presence of a cloud, whi
Explaining Sputnik Planum
It’s been a week spent catching up with space mission news, focusing on
Rosetta, Juno and today, New Horizons. Usually I ponder what I’m going
to write each day on Centauri Dreams while I’m having breakfast, a quiet
time to reflect on recent events. And if Jay Melosh (Purdue University)
is to be believed, I might have taken inspiration from the dish of
oatmeal sitting in front of me when it comes
Radio Map of Jupiter Anticipates Juno Findings
Interesting news about Jupiter this morning even as the Juno spacecraft
crosses into the realm of Jupiter’s gravity. It was six days ago that
Juno made the transition into Jupiter space, where the gravitational
influence of Jupiter now dominates over all other celestial bodies. And
it will be on July 4 of this year that Juno performs a 35-minute burn of
its main engine, imparting a 542 meters per

Back to the Fray
All is fine, thanks, I was just taking a few days to recharge my batteries. Will be back in harness shortly.

The Conservatives Will Be Protected From Their Election Fraud
It is hard to think of bigger news than that the Electoral Commission
is taking the governing party to court over alleged fraud in its
election accounts, with possible disqualifications that could cost the
government its majority. Yet the issue has received remarkably little
coverage apart from the very dogged work of Channel 4 News. Why is that?
There are a number of reasons. The first is that th
Proof Positive that David Cameron, the BBC, Guardian, New Statesman and
Entire Establishment are Peddling Blatant Untruths in the Kuenssberg
Affair
Here are all the comments on the scrapped Kuenssberg petition. You
know, the petition David Cameron condemned in the House of Commons today
because it was accompanied by a storm of sexist abuse? Well, here are
the comments in their entirety and out of 35,000 people who signed,
there is virtually nobody whose comment can be seen as remotely sexist.
See for yourselves. Can you spot the one sexist co
The Establishment Rallies Around Kuenssberg
The petition to sack Tory propagandist Laura Kuenssberg from her role
as BBC Political Editor has been scrapped by 38 Degrees after it gained
over 35,000 signatures. The reason given is sexist comments and tweets.
Having both signed and endorsed the petition myself, I was taken aback
by this. I had personally read through every single one of the comments
on the 38 Degrees site, when 26,000 people

Robert John Langdon - the sacred water sites - Stonehenge, Avebury, Old Sarem and Durrington Walls
at sites like Stonehenge, Avebury, Old Sarem and Durrington Walls you
hear this commentary from archeologists, "The ditch was inside the
bank," this is bad for defense but great for levelling off a water
course or circular canal or 'harbour', should you want to deliver stones
to a site that (at the time) was surrounded by water.But this has
implications, most importantly, that the Stone
Mike Philbin - INTROVERSIONS paintings - six new 20" x 16" canvases
the last set of 50x50cm paintings I did, I wasn't very happy with. To
say I wasn't pleased with them, would be an understatement. You know how
it is. One's investigating one's own syntax and grammar for a set of
abstract paintings, darling, and one pushes too f-ing hard. Tries to
hard to advance the f-ing form. Makes a f-ing mess. I had intended to
make a happy threesome of three-border, two-borde
Overwatch - The Movie - Every Story Cinematic
Oh. My. God. this is visually sexier than anything Disney/Pixar have
made in ages, the animation, the characters, the lighting and sfx... and
it's just the cinematics for a video game called OVERWATCH by Blizzard.
Giza plateau 20,000 BC - ancient Sphinx not a lion - Goat statue of God Khnum
prolongued rain-weathering of the solid-block lionine Sphinx statue at
the foot of the Giza Pyramid #2 (aka the Great Pyramid) suggests that it
was looking up at the sky when the last Age of Leo was around i.e.
10,000 BC. The Sphinx has been regularly repaired and amended throughout
Egyptian history. Many many facelifts and restructurings and reworkings
that reflects the egomaniacal desires and wi
