Author: undercurrentspaulo 4 Aces ClubFor over thirty years Dalston resident Newton Dunbar ran The Four Aces Club. The Club started its life in 1966 at 12 Dalston Lane in the entrance halls of the original 1886 Dalston circus and theatre buildings. It became north London's home of international black music and a second home to black musicians. With increasing success in the 1980s Newton expanded the business, as the Labrynth, which regularly packed out the whole of Dalston Theatre. At weekends Dalston Lane was heaving until the early hours. Filmmaker Winstan Whitter grew up in Dalston and his brilliant documentary film, containing historic footage, about The Four Aces is now out. You can visit http://thefouracesclub.com to watch the film's trailer and learn more about the history of the club and its relationship with the police and the Council.

Author: undercurrentspaulo Rhetorical Visualization of Palin's Supreme Court Non-AnswerAudio waveform overlaid with animated motion graphics of Palin's Supreme Court non-answer. COURIC: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with? PALIN: Mmmmm -- [lip smack] -- Well -- Let's see. There's -- [deep breath] [sigh] -- Of course, in -- in the great history of America, there have been rulings, that um -- There's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and -- Um -- There are those issues -- again, like Roe v. Wade where I believe are best [pause] held on a state level and addressed there. So -- Um, you know, going through the history of -- America, there -- there would be others. But, um -- COURIC: Can you think of any? PALIN: Well, I -- I would think of -- of any again, that could best be dealt with on a more local level -- maybe I would take issue with. But -- um -- You know, as, uh -- as a mayor, and then as a governor, and -- even as a vice president, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things, but in supporting the law of the land as it -- as it reads today. Personally, I think that Couric should have let Palin finish the first part of her answer.

Author: undercurrentspaulo Wake Up, Freak Out – then Get a GripIt’s much, much later than you think Tipping point ahead. This really isn’t about polar bears any more. At this very moment, the fate of civilization itself hangs in the balance. It turns out that the way we have been calculating the future impacts of climate change up to now has been missing a really important piece of the picture.
