And while many such unbuilt concepts are technically viable, others are wacky, fanciful or downright bizarre. These 13 retro urban design ideas for the future, from perfectly symmetrical egalitarian communities to the egotistical demands of a deranged dictator, will probably never become reality – and in many cases, we’re better off that way. Gillette’s Metropolis (images via: io9http://io9.com/5570345/how-an-imaginary-city-changed-the-twentieth-century ) Before his name was inextricably connected to safety razors, King Camp Gillette had a utopian vision for the future which revolved around a waterfall-powered tiered city he dubbed ‘Metropolis’. All residents of this imagined city would have access to the same amenities including rooftop gardens in the perfectly round, precisely divided multi-functional buildings in which they would live, work, play and eat. Like many of Gillette’s ideas, the design never went anywhere, but it’s notably similar to many very modern 21st-century concepts for sustainable urban centers. Broadacre City (images via: mediaarchitecture.athttp://www.mediaarchitecture.at/architekturtheorie/broadacre_city/2009_broadacre_city_en.shtml ) Like Gillette’s Metropolis, Broadacre City was meant to be an urban utopia. But when renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright imagined the picture-perfect society of tomorrow, he saw not highly compact and efficient high-rises, but sprawling self-sustainable homesteads. Originally conceived in 1932, Broadacre City puts each homeowner in a self-built single-family home on an entire acre of land brimming with gardens. Complete with multiple carshttp://weburbanist.com/transportationper family, it would almost be an accurate prediction of future suburbia if not for the airplane in every front yard. Atomurbia (image via: io9http://io9.com/5534528/atomurbia-the-most-spaced-out-neighborhood-in-america ) If giving each and every family in America an acre of land seems impossible, imagine what life would be like if ‘Atomurbia’ had come to pass. This concept, published in a 1947 issue of Life magazine, detailed how to atomic bomb-proof America by spreading the population across the land in a geometric grid and relocating all industry into underground structures so that any single bomb would do a minimum of damage. The whole plan would have cost a measly 5 trillion dollars in today’s currency, and the authors – atomic scientists from Chicago – thought it could be pulled off within a decade. Hotel Attraction (images via: wikimedia commonshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Attraction ) Antoni Gaudi’s architecture defines Barcelona, Spain even today with its fluid curves, reflective surfaces and organic shapes – but it would stick out like a sore thumb in the comparatively staid cityscape of Manhattan. Perhaps that’s what he had in mind for ‘Hotel Attraction’, commissioned in 1908 and also known as the Grand Hotel. The rounded, spaceship-like form would have risen in the exact spot where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were later built, but the idea was ultimately abandoned. Gaudi’s unrealized design was actually considered as a possibilityhttp://www.sinehead.com/Gaudi2.htmlfor the Ground Zero memorial after the attacks of September 11th, 2001. Welthauptstadt (images via: wikimedia commonshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welthauptstadt_Germania ) We all know that Adolf Hitler had many an ambitious plan that (thankfully) never came to pass – but few are aware of ‘Welthauptstadt’ (German for ‘World Capital’), the Fuhrer’s design for a new Berlin to be constructed after his expected victory in World War II. Taking elements from other empires around the world, Hitler imagined a broad ‘Avenue of Victory’ down the center as well as his very own ‘Arch of Triumph’. A test structure constructed in 1938 to determine whether Berlin’s marshy ground could have even held up such heavy Romanesque architecture (verdict: nope) still stands today.

The women, ranging in age from 15 to 21 are part of a gang called the Lady Maccz. Police say they dressed in pink and most met while attending Las Vegas High School. They operated as a group for added force. They used it to their advantage, says Sgt. Anthony Longo of Metro's gang detail. They used that wolf pack mentality and overcame the victims in a brutal way. The female gang allegedly stole an SUV on May 14 and then over the next several days, used the SUV in a string of violent robberies and burglaries. Metro says they walked into several clothing stores, grabbing clothes and then forcing their way passed clerks to their stolen getaway vehicle. One clerk says he was punched and choked. In another instance, an eight month old pregnant woman says she was shoved to the ground. These girls were willing to punch and knock over a visibly pregnant woman causing her to have to go to the hospital for monitoring for several hours, says Metro officer Dan Woodard. These girls were obviously willing to raise the level of violence to accomplish their goal. Police call them a hybrid gang.

[scifinoir2] The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
I am going to a reading by Rebecca Skloot tonight. Skloot is the author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. The Immortal Life is the fascinating tale of Henrietta Lacks, a black woman who died impoverished and in horrific pain from her cervical cancer (and the treatment she received in the segregated ward at John Hopkins University), her life, her death but especially her remarkable HeLa cells that have become the go-to line for scientific research: HeLa cells have been used to help develop polio vaccine, cancer medication, cloning and genetic hybrids. Before the HeLa cells came along, scientists could not keep a continuous cell line alive in the lab. The HeLa cells not only survive - they strive. These cells are so aggressive they hitch rides on dust in the air. One strand of Skloot's book is about her efforts to locate Lacks' relatives. Lack's daughter, Deborah, could not comprehend the notion that her dead mother's cells had been cloned and was troubled by notions of thousands of replicants of her mother alive and about in the world. Millions have been made from the HeLa cells but, alas, none by the Lack Family. A movie by the dream team of Oprah Winfrey and Alan Ball (True Blood) is in the works.
Re: [scifinoir2] Geek time!
Right. Some of the newest, top-of-the-line LCD TVs from Sony and Samsung come with the LED backlights that help reduce the light bleed through, and hence give them darker blacks. But even then, all but the absolute newest (and most expensive) still can't match the blacks of plasma. And you're right that the 240 mhz refresh rate is the best LCDs can do. I also find that, like audiophiles who prefer the warmer sound of older equipment, I like the warmer look of plasmas. Some LCDs look almost too sharp, too artificial. - Original Message - From: Sammie A jazzynupe...@yahoo.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 1, 2010 7:31:16 AM Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Geek time!

To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, September 1, 2010, 6:38 PM Right. Some of the newest, top-of-the-line LCD TVs from Sony and Samsung come with the LED backlights that help reduce the light bleed through, and hence give them darker blacks. But even then, all but the absolute newest (and most expensive) still can't match the blacks of plasma. And you're right that the 240 mhz refresh rate is the best LCDs can do. I also find that, like audiophiles who prefer the warmer sound of older equipment, I like the warmer look of plasmas.

Re: [scifinoir2] The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Its about time that this movie was done. There are others out there that have benefited from poor souls like Henrietta Lacks. On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 11:18 AM, Kelwyn ravena...@yahoo.com wrote: I am going to a reading by Rebecca Skloot tonight. Skloot is the author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. The Immortal Life is the fascinating tale of Henrietta Lacks, a black woman who died impoverished and in horrific pain from her cervical cancer (and the treatment she received in the segregated ward at John Hopkins University), her life, her death but especially her remarkable HeLa cells that have become the go-to line for scientific research: HeLa cells have been used to help develop polio vaccine, cancer medication, cloning and genetic hybrids. Before the HeLa cells came along, scientists could not keep a continuous cell line alive in the lab. The HeLa cells not only survive - they strive. These cells are so aggressive they hitch rides on dust in the air. One strand of Skloot's book is about her efforts to locate Lacks' relatives. Lack's daughter, Deborah, could not comprehend the notion that her dead mother's cells had been cloned and was troubled by notions of thousands of replicants of her mother alive and about in the world. Millions have been made from the HeLa cells but, alas, none by the Lack Family. A movie by the dream team of Oprah Winfrey and Alan Ball (True Blood) is in the works.

[scifinoir2] Robot Tattoos: Awesome Mechanical Body Art
Web Urbanist http://weburbanist.com http://fusion.google.com/add?source=atgsfeedurl=http://feeds.feedburner.com/WebUrbanist -- Robot Tattoos: Awesome Mechanical Body Arthttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WebUrbanist/~3/fNEth43qCAo/?utm_source=feedburnerutm_medium=email Posted: 31 Aug 2010 10:00 AM PDT [ By Marc http://weburbanist.com/marc in Gadgets Geek Arthttp://weburbanist.com/category/geek-art/, Technology Futurism http://weburbanist.com/category/technology/. ] Robots are intrinsically fascinating, especially now that we almost have the technological http://weburbanist.com/technology capability to create what once was only a science fiction fan’s dream. We’re not quite there, however, and so we continue to give life to our imaginations of a robot inhabited world through the most permanent means at our disposal: ink. Here are some of the most creative and well done robot tattoos around: *Toy Robots* (Images via robotliving http://www.robotliving.com/tatoos-2/piston-robot/ , hopegallerytattoohttp://hopegallerytattoo.com/tattoos/Movie_Sci_Fi_Tattoos/tattoos_11706.html , robotliving http://www.robotliving.com/tatoos-2/robot_tattoo/, esimpsonphoto http://esimpsonphoto.com/html/everythingelse.html) Vintage http://weburbanist.com/vintageretro toy robots are sparking fountains of nostalgia, and it’s quite popular to use these childhood inspirations to good use, as foundations for a robust and creative robot tattoo. Biomechanical Tattoos (Images via sepiamutinyhttp://www.sepiamutiny.com/sepia/archives/002593.html , fandumbhttp://fandumb.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/tats-now-even-more-embarrassing/, pets-patch http://pets-patch.blogspot.com/2010/05/3d-tattoo-designs.html, amitbhawanihttp://www.amitbhawani.com/tattoo/biomechanical-tattoo-designs/ , geekologie http://www.geekologie.com/mt/mt-search.cgi?tag=tattoo) For those who feel more than just an affinity with androids, there are ways to make you seem a bit more mechanical, and all it takes is a little peek under the skin. These realistic biomechanical tattoos are intense and extremely well done.

Robot Love (Images via robotlivinghttp://www.robotliving.com/tatoos-2/green_robot_tattoo/ , odditytattoohttp://www.odditytattoo.com/index.cfm?go=main.portfolioTattoocatid=7 , fullyrobotic http://www.fullyrobotic.com/, fuckyeahtattooshttp://fuckyeahtattoos.tumblr.com/post/516902821/started-as-just-a-doodle-from-one-of-my-old ) Much of popular culture involving robots deals with the differences between man and machine, with a main focus being emotion. Can robots learn to feel? Whether they can or not in reality, they certainly can in our tattoos. Creative Robots (Images via lhblk http://www.lhblk.com/, sunnybuickhttp://sunnybuick.typepad.com/mon-blog/2009/12/page/2/ , nickbaxterhttp://www.nickbaxter.com/tattoos/Custom_Tattoos/tattoos_26905.html , boingboinghttp://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/01/21/20-awesome-robot-tat.html , icorners http://www.icorners.com/cms/taxonomy/term/568?page=5) Some robot artists choose to take the clunky robot to another level, using their artistic skill and creative vision to create something unique and wonderful.

Full of mechanical power and intimidating height and strength, it’s natural that you’d want your robot tattoo to have the same larger than life presence.

Right now we have an unconfirmed number of hostages, a small number of hostages that are with the suspect at this point, Tom Manger, Montgomery County police chief, told reporters. The man entered the building wearing what appeared to be metallic canister devices on his front and back and he pulled out a hand gun, Manger said. The man told everyone to just stay still, and he has remained on the first floor area, he said. It was unconfirmed whether a shot had been fired or whether there were any injuries, Manger said. A U.S. law enforcement official said he believed the hostage-taker was named James Lee. A man called James Lee of San Diego was arrested in February 2008 after throwing money into the air in a protest outside the Discovery building, the Montgomery County Gazette reported that year. Police sealed off the area around the building and SWAT teams were at the scene in the suburb of Silver Spring, Maryland. The building was ordered evacuated and children were removed from a day-care center. He appears to have some sort of explosive device on his person, police Captain Paul Starks told reporters. He said the police were in contact with the suspect, who had made some demands that police would not go into. Police were watching the suspect on the building's closed-circuit security system. ENVIRONMENTAL DEMANDS Discovery employees posted updates on the situation on Twitter including a link to a website,savetheplanetprotest.com/, in which demands are made against Discovery to cover environmental issues. It was not confirmed that these demands were made by the man barricaded in the building. Police in nearby Takoma Park, Maryland, sent out an e-mail to residents that said, an unknown, armed Asian male (is) barricaded in the building with at least one hostage. Montgomery County Police Corporal Dan Friz said of the suspect: His concerns are with the Discovery Corporation right now. He would not go into further details. A reporter from the local ABC affiliate said he saw an ambulance crew wheel a gurney into the building about an hour after the incident began at 1 p.m. EDT, but there was no official word of casualties. Discovery Communications says it reaches 1.5 billion subscribers in more than 180 countries with the Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, Science Channel and Planet Green networks. Among the demands to Discovery on savetheplanetprotest.com were calls for an end to programs promoting War and those encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants. Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population, the website said.

Right now we have an unconfirmed number of hostages, a small number of hostages that are with the suspect at this point, Tom Manger, Montgomery County police chief, told reporters. The man entered the building wearing what appeared to be metallic canister devices on his front and back and he pulled out a hand gun, Manger said. The man told everyone to just stay still, and he has remained on the first floor area, he said. It was unconfirmed whether a shot had been fired or whether there were any injuries, Manger said. A U.S. law enforcement official said he believed the hostage-taker was named James Lee. A man called James Lee of San Diego was arrested in February 2008 after throwing money into the air in a protest outside the Discovery building, the Montgomery County Gazette reported that year. Police sealed off the area around the building and SWAT teams were at the scene in the suburb of Silver Spring, Maryland. The building was ordered evacuated and children were removed from a day-care center. He appears to have some sort of explosive device on his person, police Captain Paul Starks told reporters. He said the police were in contact with the suspect, who had made some demands that police would not go into. Police were watching the suspect on the building's closed-circuit security system. ENVIRONMENTAL DEMANDS Discovery employees posted updates on the situation on Twitter including a link to a website,savetheplanetprotest.com/, in which demands are made against Discovery to cover environmental issues. It was not confirmed that these demands were made by the man barricaded in the building. Police in nearby Takoma Park, Maryland, sent out an e-mail to residents that said, an unknown, armed Asian male (is) barricaded in the building with at least one hostage. Montgomery County Police Corporal Dan Friz said of the suspect: His concerns are with the Discovery Corporation right now. He would not go into further details. A reporter from the local ABC affiliate said he saw an ambulance crew wheel a gurney into the building about an hour after the incident began at 1 p.m. EDT, but there was no official word of casualties. Discovery Communications says it reaches 1.5 billion subscribers in more than 180 countries with the Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, Science Channel and Planet Green networks. Among the demands to Discovery on savetheplanetprotest.com were calls for an end to programs promoting War and those encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants. Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population, the website said.

[scifinoir2] Best female villain?
In your opinion which character is the best movie and or comic / book character?
Re: [scifinoir2] Best female villain?
I've always been partial to Mystique. She got hosed in the X-Men films, but in the comics she was always a very Machiavellian manipulator. Justin On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 6:25 PM, Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.com wrote: -- Read the Bitter Guide to the Bitter Guy. http://thebitterguy.livejournal.com
