comparison, donde se ven las diferencias entre cuatro mastodentes del aire: un
Boeing 747-8, un Airbus A380-800, un An-225 Mriya y un Hugues H4 Spruce Goose.
El otro día viendo un reportaje sobre es crucero bestialmente grande llamado Independence of the Seas que
pasó por Barcelona me quedaba la duda de si era más grande que el Titanic o no, y
sabiendo que es más grande que el Queen Mary 2, queda claro que sí, y por
mucho.

File this one under "Tell us something we don't know."
On Friday, the UK's Royal National Institute for the Deaf reported that 80 percent of the 1,700
concert-goers it polled complained of hearing damage or trouble. The RNID's solution? Don't stand
so close to the speakers.
Dude, who pays for these things?
The RNID's data set included festival attendees from Glastonbury, Leeds, Rise, Reading and more.
It found that Glastonbury fans came a bit more prepared, while the Leeds crowds were lost causes.
Same probably goes for the Reading hordes who saw the Rage Against the Machine play "Testify" in
2000, viewable at right.
"Volume levels at festivals can reach levels over 110 decibels," the RNID's Emma Harrison told BBC News. "That's the same
as a jet plane taking off."
Of course it is. That's what we're paying for.
Sure, we may pay a different price later, but the same can be said of sipping sugar, eating beef
or walking to work, especially in Los Angeles. Memo to scientists and other interested parties:
Get to work on building cranial implants that can take care of the problem.
As for the problem, we already know what it is, and it's not a problem. It's the point.

Acting
couple Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly must have decided that life would be
too calm after November 2008 -- so they have signed to play Charles and Emma Darwin in
Creation. Yes, the Darwins. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will be directed by Jon Amiel, from a script penned by John Collee, and based on Randal Keynes' book Annie's
Box. (Keynes is Darwin's great-great grandson.) The film will portray Charles Darwin as a man
torn between his love for his deeply religious wife, and his growing belief in a world where God
has no place.
I hope that they explore Darwin's personal struggles and belief more deeply than the plot
description suggests. To sell him as an athiest smacks of wanting to stir up controversy -- Darwin
always called himself an agonostic, and his rejection of Christianity stemmed as much from the
tragic death of his daughter, Annie, as his research. It's a complex and fascinating biography, one
that, as a lover of science and the history of it, I would love to see done with real justice.
The cast is certainly more than capable -- Bettany and Connelly are both wonderful, and they'll be
joined by Jeremy Northam, Toby Jones, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Annie Darwin has yet to be cast. (I
can't help but be amused by the fact that Bettany and Northam have played Darwin-inspired
characters before, in Master and Commander and Possession, respectively. Pet
interest, perhaps?)
I know the merest mention of Charles Darwin is enough to cause an epic flame war in the comments.
If it's possible, try to keep discussion only to the film, the actors, the book, and Darwin's
biography. That may be too much to hope for, but I beg you to remain respectful and tolerant of one
another.

Fourth in the annual urbanism exhibition series curated by Emma Wilcox
September 27 - November 22, 2008
Opening Reception September 27, 7-10 PM
Gallery Aferro 73 Market St Newark NJ aferro.org
Alone and Together: Tintype Portrait Studio by Keliy Anderson-Staley
October 3 + 4th, 1-7 PM
[i]Will Work for Food[/i] by KH Jeron
Bring a can of food to barter with robots. All proceeds to be donated to Newark food banks
Performance by artist October 23rd, 7 PM
[i]
Outside Over There[/i] is an exhibition, as well as a food drive and a portrait studio. It is
inspired by the signals traveling in the airspace of cities worldwide, and the ability of these
signals to penetrate structures, by transmissions, codings and exchanges of ideology and consumer
goods, interactions real and imagined, between more and less industrialized nations, including the
cargo cult and the syndication of TV programming.

The impending end of nondigital TV has evoked for some class and cultural divisions within America.
By repairing TVs with reed thatch from the NJ meadowlands, Anne Percoco suggests such divisions, as
well as the complexity of a globalized economy. Charles Huntley Nelson’s video, [i]Why Not on
TV[/i] questions the presentations of African Americans on television in relationship to their
actual history and present realities, and is narrated by an omniscient visitor who may be a space
alien.
Photographer Keliy Anderson-Staley will be operating a tintype portrait studio in the gallery on
Oct 3rd and 4th. Sitters can come solo or with a loved one. The sittings are free. A print of the
image is $10. Made with the wet plate collodion process, the leading mode of photography in the
1850's and 1860's, the portraits echo downtown Newark’s past density of commercial portrait
studio’s, while picturing the diversity of modern urban NJ.

The second leg of competition in Tour Britannia provided yet more high speed
action and the leaders in two of the three categories have maintained their advantages. In
Competition, Sean Lockyear and Roy Stephenson have extended their lead to 41 seconds, while the
all-female crew of Emma Henchoz and Jeanne Taylor holds a 12.2 second advantage in Regularity. In
the battle for overall honours - based on index of performance - Malcolm Ricketts has moved into
the lead of Tour Britannia.
Today, the crews left Coombe Abbey and headed straight to Mallory Park, before a further four
stages, two each at Arbury Hall and Cornbury Park. After lunch in the Orangery at Blenheim Palace,
the route took the crews to Silverstone for the closing action of the day around the
Historic Grand Prix circuit.
Roger Wills, in the Bizzarrini 5300 GT, led the field at Mallory Park, winning the
second race from start to finish and taking overall honours at the Leicestershire circuit. Chris
Chiles finished just under four seconds adrift in second in the AC Cobra with Eric Woolley (Austin
Healy 3000) third. However, as the crews moved to Arbury Hall, Lockyear and Wills took stage
victories, with Wills also winning Cornbury 1 and Paul Howells in the Porsche 911
ST taking his first stage win of the event at Cornbury 2. At Silverstone,
this afternoon, Mike Dowd - driving the car he shares with Jeremy Cooke - won after a fantastic
battle with Lockyear and Chiles. It was only his third ever race. On the overall leaderboard,
status quo is maintained by Lockyear, Chiles and Mike Anderson respectively.
The Tour Britannia Trophy - based on Index of Performance - is now being led by Malcolm Ricketts in
his nimble Lotus Elite. Mike Anderson maintains second ahead of third placed Sean Lockyear.
In the Regularity category the men fought back today and claimed wins in six of the eight
competitive sections, including road regularity. The close-fought nature of the category is
demonstrated by the seven different winners today, including Marc Vandendijk, Nick Gatehouse, Ding
Boston and his crew of three students, Joey Beale, Emma Henchoz, Nigel Lax and Hamish Cooke.
However, it is the all female crew of Henchoz and Jeanne Taylor who maintain their lead in the
Volvo P544.
Tomorrow's final day of competition kicks off with two stages at Swynnerton before the racing takes
centre stage, this time at Cheshire's Oulton Park circuit. Before lunch at the Cholmondeley Arms,
there are a further two stages in the grounds of Cholmondeley Castle. The final competitive action
takes the competitors back to Swynnerton for two more stages, before returning to Coombe Abbey for
the finish, prize-giving and Gala Dinner.
