You hold a pistol popper and just pull the trigger. It pops and shoots out colored confetti and paper streamers. Same kind of pull-string item as "champagne poppers", but more fun to use because you can do it with one hand.

"I Like to Watch the Smoke"


In mythology and religion, smoke is full of meaning. Its floating intangibility and unreal character have made it possible for imaginative man to see therein mystery and magic. Even for us moderns, smoke has a strong fascination. To the cigarette smoker, the clouds he puffs out seem to represent a part of himself. Just as most people like to watch their own breath on cold winter days, so they like to watch cigarette smoke, which similarly makes one's breath visible. This explains the emotional attitudes of many toward smoke. "Smoke is fascinating," said one of the people we interviewed. "I like to watch the smoke. On a rainy day, I sort of lie in a haze in the middle of the room and let my thoughts wander while I smoke and wonder where the smoke goes."
The desire to make things is deep-rooted -- and smoke is manufactured by the smoker himself. Smoking provides satisfaction because it is a playful, creative activity. This fact was well stated by one cigarette devotee as follows: "It's a fascinating thing to watch the smoke take shape. The smoke, like clouds, can form different shapes.... You like to sit back and blow rings and then blow another rings through the first ones. You are perfectly relaxed."


Burning Issues

[Ed. 12/2002 -This is an extremely strange report: Chocolate has anti-oxidents also as probably most plant material could have. Chocolate might be an even better and cleaner heating fuel, but do sane people want to use it? This report focuses on anti-oxidents but seem not to take into account the deadly fine particulate and gases that are emmitted from all wood burning. Ms Kjallstrand seems in favor of wood as a cooking fuel and heating fuel. We presume Ms. Kjallstrand has measured this new technology in the field? She has extracted her magic protective bullets with syringes, they are not human lungs subject to the scaring and severe inflammation that wood smoke does elicit. How much benzene or dioxin is a 'safe' amount. Excuse me, we could have to have the body do the math. Poison + poison + carcinogens + fine particulate + current age + current health - all those antioxidents! Voila - wood smoke is wonderful again. This paper has been seized upon by even government scientists who love wood smoke.]

Phenolic antioxidants in wood smoke.

Kjallstrand J, Petersson G.

Department of Chemical Environmental Science, Chalmers University of Technology,
Goteborg, Sweden.

Ten prominent dimethoxyphenols were determined in birchwood smoke from choked
and open laboratory burning and in chimney smoke from a tiled stove. The
structures of the methoxyphenols are similar to those of the well-known
tocopherol and ubiquinol antioxidants. The 2,6-dimethoxyphenols characterising
hardwood smoke are stronger antioxidants than the corresponding 2-methoxyphenols
present mainly in softwood smoke. The antioxidant activity is highest for the
2,6-dimethoxyphenols with 4-alkenyl and 4-alkyl groups, which constitute 60-70%
of the total amount of dimethoxyphenols. Phenolic antioxidants are scavengers of
oxygen radicals and should be considered when health hazards of small-scale
incomplete biomass burning are estimated.

Smoke from residential wood burning constitutes a complex mixture of organic compounds with varying environmental and health effects. This thesis focuses on antioxidants and aromatic hydrocarbons emitted from small-scale burning. Smoke samples were collected from laboratory experiments and in chimney outlets from stoves, using gas-tight syringes or adsorbent cartridges. Specific components were assessed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
Primary thermal decomposition products from cellulose and lignin constituted a large part of the organic fraction from incomplete combustion of wood. The lignin-related methoxyphenols are, due to their varying chemical structures, more or less effective antioxidants. Smoke from hardwood burning contained the more efficient 2,6-dimethoxyphenols, whereas softwood smoke almost only contained 2-methoxyphenols. An alkenyl or alkyl side-chain renders the antioxidant stronger, while a carbonyl group reduces the effect. The presence of phenolic antioxidants should be considered when the health hazards of wood smoke are estimated. Antioxidative 2,6-dimethoxyphenols were the predominant aromatic compounds in smoke from birchwood burning as well as from low-temperature pyrolysis of alder chips, used for meat curing. They improve both the taste and the quality of the foods. [ ?Ed. I have lost my 'taste' for smoked foods I feel like I am becoming smoked meat myself]. Incomplete combustion of newsprint released coniferyl alcohol as the major methoxyphenol. Newsprint is often used to set wood on fire.
Methoxyphenols as well as 1,6-anhydroglucose from cellulose were released at inefficient burning. These compounds appear mainly condensed on particles at ambient temperatures. On more efficient burning, the total amount of organic compounds decreased in the smoke. However, the proportion of the hazardous polycyclic aromatic compounds increased. The carcinogenic benzene was assessed as a prominent aromatic compound in smoke from all studied types of biomass burning, although the ratio to other organic compounds increased with the combustion temperature.
A comparison was made between smoke from a tiled stove and a conventional wood boiler. Stove burning released methoxyphenols and 1,6-anhydroglucose, while the boiler emitted large proportions of benzene and polycyclic aromatic compounds. Oxidative pyrolysis of wood pellets released methoxyphenol antioxidants from the flaming combustion phase. Benzene was the predominant aromatic compound from glowing pellets. New available technology for residential wood burning, including wood pellets and eco-labelled boilers, drastically decreases the emissions of antioxidants as well as hazardous aromatic hydrocarbons through highly efficient combustion.

Britisk dokumentar på NRK.

Den britiske gruppen Roxy Music eksploderte på musikkscenen i 1972 med sin kombinasjon av ulike musikalske påvirkninger sammen med sangeren Bryan Ferrys forkjærlighet for film, kunst og mote.

Men allerede året etter da album nummer to, «For Your Pleasure» ble utgitt, valgte sentralmedlemmet Brian Eno å forlate gruppen.

Men historien var langt fra slutt.

Vi følger historien om Roxy Music som til tross for solokarrierer og oppløsning av bandet flere ganger har blitt gjenforent.

Se «Roxy Music for your pleasure» på NRK1 kl. 23.55.

ARROGANCE ?
The act or habit of arrogating, or making undue claims in an overbearing manner; that species of pride which consists in exorbitant claims of rank, dignity, estimation, or power, or which exalts the worth or importance of the person to an undue degree; proud contempt of others; lordliness; haughtiness; self-assumption; presumption. Closely related to the act of arrogating.

Hubris (/hjuːbrɪs/) (ancient Greek ὕβρις) is a term used in modern English to indicate overweening pride, superciliousness, or arrogance, often resulting in fatal retribution or nemesis. In ancient Greece, hubris referred to actions which, intentionally or not, shamed and humiliated the victim, and frequently the perpetrator as well. It was most evident in the public and private actions of the powerful and rich. The word was also used to describe actions of those who challenged the gods or their laws, especially in Greek tragedy, resulting in the protagonist's downfall.

Hubris, though not specifically defined, was a legal term and was considered a crime in classical Athens. It was also considered the greatest sin of the ancient Greek world. That was so because it was not only proof of excessive pride, but also resulted in violent acts by or to those involved. The category of acts constituting hubris for the ancient Greeks apparently broadened from the original specific reference to mutilation of a corpse, or a humiliation of a defeated foe, or irreverent "outrageous treatment" in general.

The meaning was eventually further generalized in its modern English usage to apply to any outrageous act or exhibition of pride or disregard for basic moral laws. Such an act may be referred to as an "act of hubris", or the person committing the act may be said to be hubristic. Ate|Atë, ancient Greek for "ruin, folly, delusion," is the action performed by the hero, usually because of his/her hubris, or great pride, that leads to his/her death or downfall.

Don't stop the dance
(Ferry/Davies)

Mama says the truth is all that matters
Lying and deceiving is a sin
Drifting through a world torn and tattered
Every thought I have don't mean a thing

Don't stop, don't stop the dance
Don't, more music, stop the dance

Mama says love is all that matters
Beauty should be deeper than the skin
Living for the moment, lips and lashes
Will I ever find my way again

Don't stop, don't stop the dance

Mama says love is stormy weather
Don't know why there's no sun in the sky
Footsteps in the dark come together
Gotta keep on moving or I'll die

Don't stop, don't stop the dance
Don't, more music, don't stop the dance
Don't stop, don't stop the dance
Don't, more music, don't stop the dance
Don't stop, don't stop the dance

This Emperor on bipolar function

Bipolar function


What if bipolarity is a gift. An extra function.

An ability to confront life with extra intensity and openmindedness in order to try to improve ones outlook and inlook to help oneself and consequently probably others (and maybe even - since I'm feeling quite manic right now - in the long run, all humanity*)

What if when even a mania or psychosis doesn't seem to take you forward, maybe even makes you more confused, shifts into depression and total sense of meaninglessness, only in order for you to be able to start anew.

Maybe your next manic effort will take you a bit further than the last. Like trying to continue laying a very difficult puzzle (the foundation for your sense of judgment(?)) that needs all your skills in order to get clearer.

If even your psychotic abilities cannot help you grasp how to proceed - every new far-out way of looking at this puzzle fails - maybe the best way to continue is to leave it, get a rest, empty yourself of all granted, preconceived sense of outlook. Like in a depression.

Then try again, starting with the very simplest pieces of the puzzle, like food and sleep. Even having the feeling that this is enough and forget about the other pieces.

Is this maybe the best ground for trying again? Nothing to lose and slowly regaining your interest. Working the puzzle from other angles, maybe remembering some of the things that felt right and important the last time, trying to fit them in but maybe in a new way, in a new place.

Getting excited, overexcited, manic, psychotic. Not wanting to give up the most interesting and important task you have ever had.

Until you're too exhausted and have to leave it again. Hopefully not giving it all up forever, but to regain the strength to try again. With the knowledge that you can go back to the basic comforts whenever you fail.

The awesome happiness of finding an important piece and a foolproof place for it - knowing that this will almost automatically lead to many other minor revelations.
The awesome happiness.

*It's maybe this sense of the huge importance for mankind attached to my laying this puzzle that helps me not give it up.

. (A blind spot, also known as a scotoma, is an obscuration of the visual field. A particular blind spot known as the blind spot, or physiological blind spot, is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light-detecting photoreceptor cells on the optic disc of the retina where the optic nerve passes through it. Since there are no cells to detect light on the optic disc, a part of the field of vision is not perceived. The brain fills in with surrounding detail and with information from the other eye, so the blind spot is not normally perceived. Although all vertebrates have this blind spot, cephalopod eyes, which are only superficially similar, do not. In them, the optic nerve approaches the receptors from behind, so it does not create a break in the retina. The first documented observation of the phenomenon was in the 1660s by Edme Mariotte in France, at a time when it was generally thought that the point at which the optic nerve entered the eye should actually be the most sensitive portion of the retina. from Wikipedia)
