Chavez mocks critics with 'atomic bicycle'
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is mocking critics who question his close relationship with Iran by showing off what he calls an "atomic bicycle."
The bicycles are produced in Venezuela under a joint venture with an Iranian company.
Chavez rode one of the bikes during his Sunday TV program and joked about what he called the bicycle's "radioactivity" and offered one to U.S. President George W. Bush.
U.S. officials say Chavez is a destabilizing influence in Latin America and also express concern that Iran's nuclear research program could be aimed at weapons production.
Chavez says there is no cause for concern and says the new bicycle factory will eventually be able to manufacture 100,000 bikes a year.

MAKE: Blog: The Sciencebarge - NYC
Continuing on the list of things to do, MAKE and learn about in NYC for Makers, I visited the Sciencebarge in NYC, here's a bit about it and my photos!
The Science Barge is a prototype, sustainable urban farm and environmental education center. It is the only fully functioning demonstration of renewable energy supporting sustainable food production in New York City. The Science Barge grows tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce with zero net carbon emissions, zero chemical pesticides, and zero runoff.
The Science Barge Education Program focuses on sustainable food production and renewable energy resources. Following an introductory discussion on food systems and the concept of urban farming, students are led through an inquiry-based tour of the Science Barge, focusing on three main topics – food, water, and power. Topics on the tour include renewable energy, Hudson River ecology, reverse osmosis purification systems, pollination, integrative pest management, plant life cycles, hydroponics, greenhouse climate controls, aquaponics, vermiculture composting, oyster gardening, and constructed wetlands.
From May to October 2007, the Science Barge hosted over 3,000 schoolchildren from all five New York boroughs as well as surrounding counties as part of our environmental education program. In addition, over 6,000 adult visitors visited the facility along with press from around the world.

Bizarre Love Pentagram: "High Noon" (Episode 4)
This is a completed visual edit of a scene for my feature length directorial debut "Bizarre Love Pentagram." This was shot in Summer 2007 at Mt. Davidson in the heart of San Francisco. Sound is not complete and the music featured is not cleared. I will, however, write my own score for this scene.
The scene follows the epiphany of a confused and young absentee father, Venom, lamenting at the news of his own father's death who he hasn't seen since he was 9 years old. It's his 27th birthday and he received a video camera from his ex-girlfriend, Stella, mother of his child. He opens the camera and finds a recording of his 3 year old son.
Actor/Model: Beau Ballinger
Music: 1) Morningrunner "Oceans"; 2) Maximillian Hecker "Help Me"

W. Ross Wells, Film Director
When I was 5, my parents took me to Radio City where we saw Kubrick's masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. That was almost 40 years ago and I still remember that night as if it was yesterday. The colors, the design, the frosty performances by Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood...the first computer graphics. I think about some aspect of that film (and many others) almost everyday.

SMOKIN YOGI VISIONS is a Minneapolis-based Production Company dedicated to creating high-quality, unique, and forward-thinking Film, Literature, and Communications. Balancing a love of art with a passion for supporting women in commerce, SMOKIN YOGI provides products that are as meaningful as they are entertaining.
SMOKIN YOGI focuses on projects that offer the public an avenue to thoughtfully consider subjects that are prevalent everywhere, and yet remain taboo for manye.g., divorce, mental illness, sexuality, money, etc. Co-authored by Smokin Yogi founder, Julie Rappaport, along with her former husband of seventeen years and their teenage daughter, their newly published book, 'RELATIONAL SHIFTS, A Family Doesn't Have To End Just Because A Marriage Does,' details one such story--their own family's personal story of their journey through divorce to the other side of their 'relational shift.' (See BOOKS for more information and to order your copy today.)
As SMOKIN YOGI values projects that develop themes that have been unmentionable, SMOKIN YOGI also values the ability to create an open dialogue for discussion of these difficult subjects. As such, SMOKIN YOGI provides peer-to-peer social therapy as well as related links of interest to all through EZINE, where individuals can find important social, spiritual, and emotional resources.
In addition, SMOKIN YOGI is building a library of short films for distribution via the net, ipods, and cell phones. Please see FILM for more information regarding the upcoming Abnormally Normal, a series that parallels and highlights many of the issues discussed in the book, Relational Shifts. The demo-pilot for Abnormally Normal, Just Breathe, Part I, She Says... has been awarded a Fiscal Sponsorship by the IFP MN, as an Independent Feature Project. Abnormally Normal had its premiere screening at the Swansea Bay Film Festival, Wales, UK, June, 2007.
