POP DISASTER
Nothing exists anymore. Everything changes. Evolves. What was once dangerous
is now harmless, sold to the masses. Expressive urgency, instead, is constantly
changing. It fluctuates and its boundaries are continously redefined. It surely
feeds on fantasy, and fantasy is nothing else than a face of memory unbound by
the order of time and space. This might be the reason those who feel like
artists always live between dream and reality. But a question arises
spontaneously: does art still exist, nowadays?
Pop Disaster will not answer that question. Pop Disaster was born to focus on
the great number of creative sources colliding against each other. To exhalt
the value of anomalous phenomena. To demonstrate that content overules form. To
prove that real art is a game and that there are no specific laws in our
culture to live new sensorial experiences. Pop Disaster proves that the
creative act is central to the world and that if you're looking for consolation
in lasting items, Pop Disaster will change your life!

POP DISASTER
Non esiste più nulla. Tutto cambia. Si evolve. Quello che un tempo era pericoloso, oggi è diventato innocuo e venduto alle masse. L'urgenza espressiva invece è sempre in divenire. Fluttua e i suoi confini vengono continuamente ridefiniti. Sicuramente si nutre di fantasia e la fantasia non è altro che un aspetto della memoria svincolata dall’ordine del tempo e dello spazio. Forse è per questo che chi si sente artista vive sempre diviso tra sogno e realtà. Ma la domanda sorge spontanea: Oggi, esiste ancora l’arte?
Pop Disaster, non vuole rispondere a questo quesito. Pop Disaster, nasce per dare risalto ad una grande quantità di spunti creativi in conflitto tra loro. Per dare valore a fenomeni anomali. Per dimostrare che il contenuto ha il sopravvento sulla forma. Per dimostrare che la vera arte è gioco e che non ci sono leggi precise per vivere nuove esperienze sensoriali legate alla nostra cultura. Pop Disaster, dimostra che l’atto creativo è al centro del mondo e che se cerchi consolazione nelle cose durevoli, Pop Disaster ti cambierà la vita!

I had a chance to shoot with the Apocalyptic Band Disaster Face and jumped at it. It's not a genre I have much experience with and I knew I had to figure out a unique way of processing the shots.
Here are my faves from the shoot.

This is not so much a disaster book as a how to book on reconstructing the world after one of those hyper scary and rather unlikely scenarios of complete collapse that many in the peak oil movement were so fond of early on. I like Cody's version because of his highly practical information and personal experimentation with this material. There are lots of craft type emergency prep instructions for making your own lighting, cooking gear and water sterilization set-ups.
He is also on the liberal side of the survivalist spectrum so leans towards self-examination and psychological readiness rather than xenophobic, gun toting, strike first, answer questions later attitude. His chapter on self-defense is thankfully gun free. He interviews a martial art teacher to explain the approaches and techniques useful in real world scenarios that begins with tips on avoiding conflict in the first place.
Given this non-conflict approach, Cody devotes his first few chapters to a rather spiritual, self-assessment of one's own ego, attitude and level of self-sufficiency. He addresses personal responsibility in terms of "creative cooperation" which is heartening and gives instructions on how to reach a consensus decision. He then gives parameters on how to determine what you actually physically need in life to survive.
Taking up where his first book on wilderness survival leaves off, Cody's book goes all out on setting up a post survival homesteading operation. Although he mentions options for apartment dwellers, the really hairy and fun stuff requires a more rural or large suburban size property, but it is why this book is more interesting in a non-survival setting. A lot of survival craft is simply a nostalgia for a simpler life.
His historical recap of what people attempted to eat during times of severe starvation scared me more than anything. He has pictures of roasted rat served on a bed of lettuce. This too was scary though I may try his falling book method of killing them. So besides the usual 6 months rotating food storage he also talks about the Mormon Four—whole wheat, powdered milk, honey and salt. He recommended the book "Passport to Survival" written by Esther Dickey in the 70s, for recipes. This simpler option is appealing for needing less inventory management.
An illuminating note on spoiled food. It's not the critters that kill you, it's their toxic poop. You can kill critters, but you can't clean the poop out.
Speaking of poop there is a complete instruction on making your own composting toilets with wonderful graphic illustrations on how to compost the contents or how to store poop for later disposal if you cannot compost it. And illustrations of rain water harvesting and lots of methods for sterilization of water. Also the more grim task of safely disposing of dead bodies.
As survival reading this book just about covers it and is worth having for all the practical information. He imparts details that often pester my mind when thinking about emergency scenarios and in so doing makes me far less cavalier about the more grim possibilities. A great deal of this information would be useful right now for my family in Thailand as they suffer through the flood. Indeed there is a very third world flavor to Cody's frugal, homemade approaches that speaks to me. And though I rather enjoyed his technique of bathing with only a small towel immersed in a pot of boiling water, I would be quite happy not to live through any emergency after reading his book.

I braved the rainy morning this Saturday and visited the Hindenburg disaster site at the Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst.
The Hindenberg went down on a wet and windy day much like Saturday. In 32 seconds.

October 13, 2012: The International Day for Disaster Reduction is a day to celebrate how people and communities are reducing their risk to disasters and raising awareness about the importance of DRR.
The theme for 2012 is "Women and Girls: the [in]Visible Force of Resilience".
There's a reason why I haven't posted much since BrickCon. Actually, there are quite a few reasons--including the entire family fighting off two different colds, weeks of job hell, and the fact that I still haven't unpacked from the con.
But the biggest reason is that my workspace reached a point where it was outright unusable. A combination of my general aversion to sorting and months of binge building left a two-inch layer of Lego on pretty much every horizontal surface. In fact, pretty much the only surface in the den which was NOT covered in either Lego or containers of Lego was the dwindling area in which Jess has her computer desk.
This has since been dealt with. For the most part.
DOCUMENTED PREDICTION OF A DISASTER
On June 15th 2005 the Astropsychologist and seer Dr. Louis Turi, gave an interview on CoasttoCoast AM hosted by George Noory where he recounted his UFO abduction experiences and also shared some new predictions. Here a snap shot on his background: Through hypnosis, he was able to recall being "sucked into the belly of a flying saucer," in August of 1991 during a Southern California highway trip. Turi said he witnessed "greys" as well as the blonde "Nordics" on the craft. His wife, who was also abducted, had a fetus removed from her, he reported, and a laser-like scar appeared afterwards that was not there before. Further, he noted that a "helmet" was dropped from the ceiling and placed onto his head, causing him to download a massive amount of cosmic information in a fraction of a second. Subsequent to that experience, Turi said his life path changed, and he began to have the ability to make accurate predictions, which are documented in his yearly Moon Power Starguide books.
Among many of his predictions for 2005 I would like to point out one in particular that for me was very relevant as I wrote a note in my Dreamspell/and Gregorian Diary back 2 months ago:
>> August 29th-30th, 2005—Thousands of people will be forced to relocate.
NOTE: For some reason, I wrote in my diary the following on August 28th, 2005 date instead (Dreamspell date: Red Resonant Earth), followed by arrows pointing to the Dr Turi's window dates of 29-30 Aug >> See picture above:

August 29, 2005 (White Galactic Mirror) >> KATRINA MAKES LANDFALL
Katrina made landfall this morning at 6:10 AM in southern Plaquemines Parish, just south of Buras, which is near Grand Isle, Louisiana. The storm weakened slightly to a Category 4 with sustained winds of 140 MPH, still bringing potentially catastrophic winds across southeast Louisiana. About 70 miles off the coast of Alabama a bouy measured a 48 foot wave as Katrina was making landfall. This very broad storm is affecting the entire central Gulf Coast, from Louisiana to Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
New Orleans sits below sea level, and a direct hit Katrina is going to produce tremendous damage. While storms have came within 60 miles of the city in the past, and some smaller storms have made direct hits, it has been 25 years since a major hurricane hit The Big Easy. The city has never felt a direct hit from a Category 4 or 5 storm.

August 30, 2005 (Blue Solar STORM) >> Katrina Continues To Weaken, Widespread Devastation
Katrina made a slight turn toward the north yesterday, sparing New Orleans the full brunt of its right-front quadrant at landfall. The Gulf Coast of Mississippi took the full force, in the same area where Hurricane Camille struck in 1969.
There is widespread flooding, hundreds of buildings are destroyed, and the power is out for thousands. Even though the hurricane passed through early yesterday, the weather has just improved to the point where helicopters are able to fly, giving us a true firsthand look at the devastation.
Well, the rest on this prediction is now History and we all know what happened!

"Hey, Zaphod," said Ford, grabbing for his arm and, on account of the third Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, missing. He pointed a swaying finger.
"There's an old mate of mine," he said, "Hotblack Desiato! See the man at the platinum table with the platinum suit on?"
Zaphod tried to follow Ford's finger with his eyes but it made him feel dizzy. Finally he saw.
"Oh yeah," he said, then recognition came a moment later. "Hey," he said, "did that guy ever make it megabig! Wow, bigger than the biggest thing ever. Other than me."
"Who's he supposed to be?" asked Trillian.
"Hotblack Desiato?" said Zaphod in astonishment, "you don't know? You never heard of Disaster Area?"
"No," said Trillian, who hadn't.
"The biggest," said Ford, "loudest ..."
"Richest ..." suggested Zaphod.
"... rock band in the history of ..." he searched for the word.
"... history itself," said Zaphod.
"No," said Trillian.
"Zowee," said Zaphod, "here we are at the End of the Universe and you haven't even lived yet. Did you miss out."
He led her off to where the waiter had been waiting all this time at the table. Arthur followed them feeling very lost and alone.

Dawson is a ghost town in Colfax County, New Mexico. It was a mining town, and suffered two mine disasters killing 376.
The first on October 22, 1913, was an explosion that killed 263 miners. The second, also an explosion, on February 13, 1923, killed 123 miners - many of them children of the men who died in the 1913 explosion.
Its cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery is filled with iron crosses marking the graves of miners, many who died in the two explosions.

I had already gone to bed and was drifting off to sleep when I realized I hadn't taken any photos for the day. Oh no! And I was doing so well this year. Fortunately, it was not yet midnight, so I got up and snapped a few shots.
