First-Time Ultra Finisher Turns Into YouTube Star
Amy Clark 02/24/2016
Editors Note: This video has been removed from YouTube. A note from Jesse follows
"Thank you to Navajo Nation for graciously sharing your heritage lands to be a part of the Antelope Canyon trail races, and I always look forward to amazing experiences here. Parts of this video were filmed on Tribal land without an appropriate Special Use Permit. All other regulations were respectfully followed throughout this event. No alcohol was transported or consumed within Tribal jurisdiction, only in the city of Page, AZ. Thank you to everyone who found entertainment and inspiration in this video. I plan to film more of my adventures and misadventures soon. Please visit UnwearyTraveler.com for a more complete explanation of the video and why I have taken it down."
Think back to your first ultra. For most of us, there was a lot of pain and struggle to continue those last few miles before crossing the finish line. Now, imagine carrying a video camera throughout the entire race and filming yourself during that raw, emotional journey. Jesse Weber did it and became an overnight YouTube sensation, with over 86,000 views of his video in just four days.
Signing up for the Antelope Canyone 50-miler wasn't something he had planned, but Jesse is an adventurous, 24-year-old student living in Flagstaff, Arizona. His impulsive entry had to do with wanting to see Antelope Canyon and the Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River, and also the fact that Ultra Adventures added 150 spots after initially selling out. Never mind that his longest run was 24 miles up until race day.
Adventure-seeking is nothing new for Jesse, who seems to have a worldly sense about him. Visit his website, Unwearytraveler.com, and you'll find stories of his recent travels. His first 5K was in Dublin on St. Patrick's Day, wearing a green tutu. If you're still reading this and haven't watched Jesse's video, please take an extra seven minutes to do so – it's worth your while. You'll also notice that he dressed in non-traditional running gear in this race, as well.
Jesse explains in the video that he decided to run in hiking boots, due to the extreme amount of sand on the course. What he didn't mention was that he had planned to wear running shoes, but the amount of sand filtering through the fabric the day before the race was overwhelming. Approximately 75% of the trails on the Antelope Canyon course are made up of fine sand. While the hiking boots were heavy, Jesse says that they protected his feet and he didn't experience any major problems. He stands behind his decision, saying he witnessed other runners frequently stopping because of the sand build-up in their shoes.
Throughout the video, Jesse offers commentary that adds touches of humor and realism – along with filming breathtaking views of the Colorado River and slot canyons that are only accessible because the Navajo Nation agreed to share their cultural landmarks as part of the course. He also popped open a PBR at mile 38.5 – and it should be noted that no alcohol was transported or consumed on tribal land.
What makes Jesse's story so inspiring is that he runs for the fun of it. An appreciation for sacred surroundings and his light-hearted nature bring us back to why we're all out there. Jesse crossed the finish line in 12 hours, and with a little help from Pabst Blue Ribbon and Elton John, he successfully created a film most of us would never, ever have the strength or humor to do on our own. Well done, Jesse.

Jesse Marchant, Two Dark Birds, Sandy Bell

Fri June 22nd
Jesse Marchant (formerly JBM)
with Two Dark Birds + Sandy Bell
$10 adv / $12 door | 18+ | 7:30 Doors / 8PM show
Tickets are on-sale now :: https://bit.ly/2jzhq6X
Also available locally (cash only, no fees) at
outdated: an antique café // Rocket Number Nine
Jack's Rhythms // Darkside Records // Woodstock Music Shop
It could almost be inferred that Jesse Marchant wrote the songs for his new album over a period of months in New York City during which a lot of his world had come out from under him, in what he has described as "a general period of falling outs, absence and abuse, both of self and of what should or could have been surrounding". But in the process of finding an end to that Marchant feels to have grown. One is not left to wonder why he chose to drop the moniker of his former releases (his initials JBM) for the use of his proper full name, nor why his voice and lyrics, recorded with a mouth-to-ear intimacy, emphasizing his deepening and wearying baritone, sit loud and naked atop the widescreen backdrop of the deep synthesizer and orchestral pads and arrangements, often reminiscent of "I'm on Fire" era Springsteen. There is a sense of wanting to take responsibility and a desire to have things seen and said clearly for what they are, directly.
Who Will Call You Home for the Night? // Two Dark Birds from Studio Midnight on Vimeo.
Bow is the third album from Two Dark Birds, the critically acclaimed band from Pakatakan Mountain in The Catskills. Bow is a cycle of songs about openings and awakenings, about the spirit of nature and the nature of spirit.
Sandy Bell is a songwriter, singer and musician who currently calls Woodstock, NY home. She has moved through a vibrant and textured musical constellation, playing most notably with the eternally brilliant Jeff Buckley, and contributed vocals on the Mercury Prize nominated 'Bat for Lashes' album. While Sandy's music is expressionistic and lush, she is most interested in the 'cathartic transmutation of grief into song'.

Q: Convert args to double in NodeJS addon I would like to convert the argument 0 to a long, to use it into a dll function.
The function is defined as long function(long)
long __stdcall VBVMR_GetVoicemeeterVersion(long * pVersion);

And the call is like
void Voicemeeter_run(const FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args){
  Isolate* isolate = Isolate::GetCurrent();

  if (args.Length() < 1) {
    isolate->ThrowException(Exception::TypeError(
        String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, "Run needs 1 argument")));
    return;
  }

  if (!args[0]->IsNumber()) {
    isolate->ThrowException(Exception::TypeError(
        String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, "Argument 1 must be a number")));
    return;
  }

  long type = args[0]->NumberValue();
  //long type = 2;
  long value = iVMR.VBVMR_RunVoicemeeter(type);
  Local<Number> num = Number::New(isolate, value);
  args.GetReturnValue().Set(num);
}

The I got the following warning :
..\vm-wrapper.cc(101): warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion de 'double' en 'long', perte possible de données [D:\Workspace\node-voicemeter\build\vm-wrapper.vcxproj]

Is there any other Node method? If I convert is to string then convert it to long via C native function I would not loose data, right? (I do not really care for the "data loss", but I would like to get rid of the warning)

A: You simply need to cast from double to long. You can do
double d = args[0]->NumberValue();
long l = static_cast<long>(d);

As for losing data, you will lose data if you receive a high value on output, but you can never enter a number big enough in javascript (double) to hit the upper limit of long.

Is another library required ?

A: From http://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_install.html :

Question: When I display a widget or interact, I just see some text,
  such as IntSlider(value=0) or interactive(children=(IntSlider(value=0,
  description='x', max=1), Output()),
  _dom_classes=('widget-interact',)). What is wrong?
Answer: A text representation of the widget is printed if the widget
  control is not available. It may mean the widget JavaScript is still
  loading. If the message persists in the Jupyter Notebook or
  JupyterLab, it likely means that the widgets JavaScript library is
  either not installed or not enabled. See the installation instructions
  above for setup instructions.

Page refresh fixed issue for me. I think installs referred to in my question were still required.

A: In my case I had to run again the cells in the jupyter notebook. In the tab Widgets, selecting Save Notebook Widgets State should render the widgets everytime you open the notebook again, without having to re run it.


I was pretty happy with NCLA started coming out with holographic polishes. You know how much I love my holos! I've been trying to work on my stash by posting more polishes that I've purchased, and this was one of them! Today I have Iridescent Dreams, a plum holographic. I used a base coat of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and finished with Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That. The formula was a little thin, but 2 coats did leave me opaque.
I took this first photo in my light box. You can see that the holographic properties are more scattered, meaning you get a slight cascade of rainbow versus linear where you'd see a straight line of holo. That's fine - I like all holos, but I was a little surprised by it at first.
You can really see the scatter in the sunlight. Again, not a bad thing, but not my favorite kind of holo. They all have their place!
Finally one photo in the shade, because like just about every holo ever, there is a duller side and that's when you have no sun. Boo hiss. It's still a pretty light purple/plum shade though!
NCLA [Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] [Tumblr] [Pinterest] [Instagram] is available on the website for $16.00 to $18.00 a bottle and in a variety of stores. The HOLOS line sells for $18.00.
I love this shade, I can wear it everyday!
What a pretty holo for Spring! I actually like it in the shade as well, even if you cannot see the holo.
Its VERY pretty! NCLA makes great polish!
What a pretty holo! The more holo the better!
Love this colour- even when the holo isn't in action!

McCain: Bush Administration Violated Geneva Conventions and Convention Against Torture
On Face the Nation this morning, Sen. John McCain became the latest figure to publicly state that the Bush Administration violated the Geneva Conventions and the U.N. Convention Against Torture. It is not clear how many international and domestic figures will have to publicly acknowledge these crimes before Attorney General Eric Holder will appoint a special prosecutor. I discussed the torture issue last night on this segment of MSNBC Countdown.
During the show, McCain stated "[Torture memo author Jay Bybee] falls into the same category as everybody else, as far as giving very bad advice and misinterpreting fundamentally what the United States is all about, much less things like the Geneva Conventions. Under President Reagan, we signed [the Convention] Against Torture. We were in violation of that."
Article 7 of the Convention Against Torture states:
1. The State Party in territory under whose jurisdiction a person alleged to have committed any offence referred to in article 4 is found, shall in the cases contemplated in article 5, if it does not extradite him, submit the case to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution.
2. These authorities shall take their decision in the same manner as in the case of any ordinary offence of a serious nature under the law of that State. In the cases referred to in article 5, paragraph 2, the standards of evidence required for prosecution and conviction shall in no way be less stringent than those which apply in the cases referred to in article 5, paragraph 1.
There is now Republican and Democratic leaders acknowledging the obvious: we violated these treaties and international law. What they are not being asked is how we reconcile our ongoing violation of these laws by not investigating and prosecuting such crimes. Once again, it is important to note that it is not the lawyers but the leaders who are the principle targets of such investigations: Bush, Cheney, Tenet, Gonzales and others. The lawyers may also be investigated but there is a clear effort to focus on the attorneys to avoid dealing with the obvious responsible parties at the top of the chain of command.

Darn you Gyges. Your memory is as good as your taste in comedy. Whoop, whoop!
FFLEO,
On the same off thread topic I've always been a sucker for Alamo movies, even though the history is not quite accurate. By the way Donovan, of all people has done the definitive Alamo song. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
"Either Obama has made an illegal request for Holder to not prosecute and the AG doesn't have the integity to resign and report the president or the AG should act as he is charged by enforcing our clear law on war crimes."
Context is everything and there's your context. My comment was addressing that contention.
Loved Froggy and the Rascals, particularly Alfalfa and Darla.
Loved Roy because of the Science fiction Serial he made, whose name I forget. Didn't like Mr. Ed, but loved the rest. Audie couldn't act but you had to love him for his war record. Buster Crabbe also was a favorite. Beside Davy C., I loved the Nine Lives of Elfego Vaca and Spin and Marty on the Disney Show. Always hated Mickey Mouse though because Donald Duck was my favorite. Liked Bugs Bunny better than anything Disney did, except for his great nature movies.
This is another take on what politics involves. It includes the view of other nations regarding our lack of prosecution and how this effects international politics. We tend to forget how the rest of the world sees the US. Perhaps this is a bad idea.
http://www.commondreams.org/video/2009/04/28
Well, I have to agree with the old hippie, I hated the 3 Stooges.
Froggy the Gremlin, and the Little Rascals were my heroes, along with Roy, Gene, Hoppy, Davy Crockett, the Beav (Leave it to Beaver), Audie Murphy, and above all, the Famous Mr. Ed.
"Mike Spindell,
Are you on Linkdn?"
AY,
What's that? Don't you realize your addressing an old codger here?
Mike S.,
My statement that an AG needs intergity should not be interpreted as Holder does not have intergrity. It means that that position is so important that the person in it needs to have strong intergrity. If a president askes that person to do something unlawful then that person should resign and report the request. That is true of Holder. It was true of Alberto Gonzales. It was true of Elliot Richardson under Nixon.
Nobody's perfect.
Gyges,
I've been a lifelong hater of the comedy of the Three Stooges. One of the worst afternoons of my childhood occurred when my projectionist Uncle took me to his theater and The Three Stooges Go to Mars was playing. I shudder as I think back to having to watch that movie twice and then give him a phony smile and thank him for a nice day. Humbug!
"That's why s/he needs to have integrity." re: the AG
I haven't seen anything, except for speculation based on word parsing that shows me any proof the AG Holder lacks integrity. If not moving speedily to prosecute means lacking integrity, then special Prosecutor FitzGerald may indeed lack same, only I didn't see many negative comments about him when he was going after Libby and took 2 1/2 years to do it, ending with nothing and covering up the real culprits. In fact there have been many on this site who have called for his being named Special Prosecutor in these matters.
I've actually worked in government and my last three years working for NYC were as Deputy Director of The Office of Fiscal and Program Integrity of the Human Resources Administration. We actually worked with legal entities to put people in jail, or have them fired for corruption. The expectation that 100 days into an Administration, with a DOJ rife with Bush holdovers, things aren't moving quickly enough is blindly unrealistic and seems more motivated by a need for instant gratification, than an understanding of how the law works.
Lest I be mis-characterized in this, please refer to my plethora of comments urging dissent from any suggestions of not prosecuting these crimes and my calls (many literally made to the WH by me)for people, like Jonathan and the ACLU, to keep the pressure on President Obama. The fact that I know from experience how Government works and the slow grind of the "wheels of justice" does not give me X Ray vision into this matter. If instead of the knee jerk reaction of: he's let me down, he's a phony, or he's one of them, perhaps really thinking about process in one's own mind might get someone to see this is not a matter easily or quickly disposed of.
Damn, how many years did it take to get Phil Spector's case tried and how many years between arrest and trial occur in the typical murder case? Humanity has no heroes, only flawed human beings that occasionally rise to a level of greatness.
My earliest hero Clarence Darrow was a lawyer who did great things, but had many personal flaws as I read up on him. I prefer people who are flawed because as the James Garner line went from the great 70's anti-war film "The Americanization of Emily"
"God save us from the idealists of the world…they're the ones who get everyone else's back broken."
I personally am someone who has lived up to most of my ideals in my life and trust me I'm not ready for canonization. There are many who've known me that will attest to this, including my wife. Sometimes the ideal solution turns out to be the horribly wrong one. i.e. Don't vote for sellout Humphrey, as we elect madman Nixon.
All I'm asking for is a little patience and a little reality and I'm immune to arguments about how can we go on when people are being tortured. If that's the case then damn it, nothing should be done until we eliminate genocide in Africa and the debilitation of world poverty, sickness and hunger. One person being tortured is tragic and wrong, billions of humans living the way they do is beyond conception. some people see triage as evil, having been very sick in many ER's I'm glad they treated me before the person with the compound fracture.
