DARKNESS AT DAWN
Prepare at dawn to plunge into darkness
Oh, obsequious slaves to senseless traditions
For what shell game of countless wasted hours
do we acquiesce to such Impositions?
This be not dark prophecy
nor a madman's feverish ravings
Do not forget, my friend, to change the clock
Because it is Daylight Savings

Los Alamos Warns Employees About Daylight-Savings Impact On
Coffee Makers
The weapons laboratory joins tech vendors like Microsoft, IBM
and Novell in preparations for the March 11 spring forward.
Feb 26, 2007 - By Paul McDougall Courtesy of InformationWeek
The weapons laboratory that developed the Manhattan Project
issued an alert but is only mildly concerned about the impact of
early daylight-saving time on the computers that control its
sensitive nuclear technology.
Los Alamos National Laboratory's internal news bulletin is
warning employees that the March 11 switch to daylight-savings --
three weeks earlier than usual, thanks to a new federal law --
could impact "some computer programs and applications" that rely
on the correct time.
To deal with other computer complications arising from early
daylight-saving time, the Feb. 20 issue of the Los Alamos Daily
News Bulletin also offers this advice: "Employees should check
appliances, such as coffee makers

These consumers are always ordering mutant beverages with names
like ``mocha-almond-honey-vinaigrette lattespressacino,''
beverages that must be made one at a time via a lengthy and
complex process involving approximately one coffee bean, three
quarts of dairy products and what appears to be a small nuclear
reactor.

Another portable weapon is a "backpack" bomb. The Soviet nuclear
backpack system was made in the 1960s for use against NATO
targets in time of war and consists of three "coffee can-sized"
aluminum canisters in a bag. All three must be connected to make
a single unit in order to explode. The detonator is about 6
inches long. It has a 3-to-5 kiloton yield, depending on the
efficiency of the explosion. It's kept powered during storage by
a battery line connected to the canisters.

"Keep the coffee hot, Hugo": nuclear trauma in Lang's 'The Big
Heat.' (director Fritz Lang)
From: Film Criticism | Date: March 22, 1997 | Author: Metz, Walter
Violence in Fritz Lang's 'The Big Heat' reflected cultural
anxiety about nuclear proliferation. The film was released in
1953, eight years after the US destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki
in Japan with atomic bombs. Lang was attempting to remind
audiences of the consequences of nuclear warfare, most obviously
when a woman whose face was scarred by hot coffee rips off her
bandages. Hollywood and most Americans prefer, 50 years after
the bombing, to ignore that event.

Fritz Lang's The Big Heat (1953), ...

Das Coffeehaus, a brand new, chic coffeehouse chain, opens its
doors and becomes incredibly popular... literally overnight. The
chain's signature treat is a dip in the "Perkolator 9000," a
crazy machine that submerges patrons in a full-bodied coffee
bath. When perky patrons are suddenly reported missing, Jerry
sends the girls in to investigate. What they discover is an evil
Barista brewing up a mighty revenge from his underground beanery/
lair. In a b-story, Mandy discovers the spies' secret? and,
impressed by her tenacity, Jerry decides to make her a spy!

Nuclear engineer, Rusi Taleyarkhan led the research team at the
Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee that has proposed a
small table-top sized nuclear fusion invention. Taleyarkhan
described the project as true, "tabletop physics, using an
apparatus the size of three coffee cups stacked on top of the
other."
The researchers bombarded millimeter-sized bubbles of deuterated-
acetone vapor with sound waves (called acoustic cavitation) that
resulted in a burst of subatomic particles called neutrons and
the production of tritium, an isotope of hydrogen both evidence
of a nuclear fusion reaction.
The bubbles reached temperatures of 10 million degrees Kelvin,
the same as the center of the Sun. Sonoluminescence light
flashes were also observed. The experiment was dubbed "bubble
fusion."

http://www.who2.com/starbuck.html
Starbuck is a character in the 1851 novel Moby-Dick by author
Herman Melville. Strong and steady, Starbuck serves as first
mate on the whaling ship Pequod under the command of the mad
Captain Ahab. Starbuck tries to stop Ahab's obsessive hunt for
Moby-Dick, but loyal at the last, he dies at sea with Ahab and
his crew after a final battle with the great while whale. The
Starbucks coffee chain took its name from the character.
------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.scifi.com/sfw/cool/sfw2238.html
Lt. Starbuck, Warrior-grade viper pilot, wears the standard
Colonial Viper pilot uniform, beige pants, beige jersey, brown
suede flight jacket and black boots. He has a low-slung holster
with a blaster pistol. He also has a communications pad.
One of the most jarring changes is the changing of perhaps the
most popular character, Starbuck, from a man to a woman.
------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.intraa.org/blog/nclarkson/firstday
Today was my first day at Starbucks. I started at 8am, but I was
happy anyway. For the most part, it went really well, but this
one thing really overfigures the experience. I'm still pretty
uncomfortable.
Towards the end of the day when the manager was entering me into
their system, she asked for my gender rather than just checking
male. Fine. I answered male and she selected it. She turned a
little towards me and, trying to excuse the question said,
"We had a girl working at the Broad Ripple store and a week after
she quit we found out it was a guy." I didn't say anything then.
We finished that. I stood around for a while waiting for her to
have some free time again, heart thumping, rehearsing what I
needed to say. When she came back and started scheduling me for
the next couple weeks, I said, "So you had an MTF at the Broad
Ripple store?" She didn't understand what I meant, so I
explained, "male-to-female. transsexual." She then explained how
this woman had moved up here from Georgia to be with some guy
she met on the internet, how she was so much drama, how they
didn't know she was trans. My manager said, "I didn't even
notice the Adam's apple." She finished with her relatively
matter-of-fact though problematic explanation and I asked,
"So it wasn't a problem?"
"Oh no! Are you kidding?"
I said, "Well, I wouldn't think so at Starbucks, but I wanted to
check."
Her face got gravely serious and she said, "And it shouldn't be
anywhere."
We'll see. I feel good about the fact that I actually confronted
her about that. It's not really like me to do that. But this is
definitely not the way I wanted to start this job. I haven't
been out at work--there weren't any incidents at all during my
eight months at the library--but I also didn't really talk to
anyone. I would like to be more social and better integrated in
to things here, but I realized, standing there mulling over what
to say, that if she'd been transphobic after I'd confronted her,
I would've come out and quit rather than putting up with it.

BUBBLEGUM CRASH 3:
Melt Down
ADP Heavy Choppers approach, but are met by I-beam throwing
construction boomers. One of the choppers is hit and brought
down by the beams, but another manages to put its troop cargo
onto the building elevation where the boomers are rioting. They
open fire and manage to bring down all but one of the workers.
Construction boomer 3-6 emerges from the smoke, yelling "All
power to the Boomer Revolution!" A few well-placed shots bring
him down as well too.
The days news, as reported by DJ Tommy, opens with a report of
the boomer riot at the construction site. He reports that the
number of recent boomer-related complaints to the AD Police has
risen to 3000. "Is your boomer all right?"
The crowd at the Piss Coffee Shop, watching the report with
interest, is distracted by the sight of the Coffee Boomer
grabbing the manager by the throat, telling him that she's "sick
and tired of making coffee." He cries out for someone to call AD
Police, just before she pours hot coffee down his throat.
The Voice tells them that he's "been waiting for you. It's been
a while, hasn't it, Knight Sabers. I'm delighted to fight you
again." The Knight Sabers are stunned. It's Largo (see BGC 5-6),
alive, and there are three of him. Sylia tells her friends that
they're all copies, and the real Largo is somewhere else. When
one of the Largo's tries to goad her by telling her that he
gives thanks to her father for his immortal body and wonderful
AI, Sylia shoots back that she's going to take them back, both
the body and the AI. With that exchange, the trio of Largos
attacks, and the Knights Sabers fire back.
The explosions resulting from the exchange are impressive, but
neither side has taken any damage. The Largos reveal themselves
to be boomers, but not like any boomers the Knight Sabers have
ever faced before. Largo's mind was transferred into the new AI
and placed into these hyperBoomer bodies.
Back at the control room, the security monitors reveal that Brum-
Bar has already breached the fourth and third defensive bulkheads.
The chief scientist is still reluctant to shut the reactor down
because it would throw the city into a complete panic. More
importantly, though, it takes three hours to shut it down, and
they don't have that much time

Early this spring, Florida Power threw a party to mark the 25th
anniversary of its nuclear plant in Crystal River.
Rock music blared from under a big white tent, where workers ate
barbecue chicken and baked beans.
Commemorative coffee mugs were handed out, veteran employees
honored with plaques.
"I think the future is bright for Crystal River," said Scotty
Hinnant, chief nuclear official for Florida Power's parent
company, Progress Energy.
