- Psychedelics' bejewelled sledgehammer | Robert Dobbs
An LSD trip brings a restless insistence on recategorising and recontextualising anything that catches your attentionThe question: Did the drugs work at all?At 14, I was much taken by phenomenology. The idea that certainty was an illusion, our experiences and logical conclusions forever trapped behind imperfect senses, gelled with my distrust of religious dogma and fondness for science's inbuilt doubts. These things are important, at 14.Ten years later, flat on my back beneath an orange east-London night sky, with Elgar on the headphones and illegal indole groups rewiring my brain, phenomenology went from a nice idea to case proven.As photography's true pleasure is in the taking of the picture rather than the printing of it afterwards, the point of the psychedelic experience isn't in its recollection – let alone in that direst of hippy pastimes, the recounting of how fried we were, man. (Although to the startled Japanese tourist seeking directions whose shoes were vomited over in Kew Gardens one eternal afternoon: sincere apologies. Man, we got that dose wrong.)The value is in the view suddenly revealed, the mundane perception revealed as an interplay of elements each with their own unique existence, combined for an instant into something with its own being. We think, necessarily, in cliche, in tested metaphors, but cliche get stale and metaphors only work by hiding detail. It was profoundly arresting to find myself in a place where none of that applied and to be forced to deal for a few hours with rude novelty at every level.You can't, in general, do much while you're there apart from go along for the ride. Yet acid's restless insistence on recategorising, recontextualising and generally mucking around with anything that catches your attention leaves the world you retu LSDの旅行はrecategorisingとattentionThe質問をキャッチし何かをrecontextualisingで落ち着きの主張をもたらします：？薬は14で、私は多くの現象によって撮影されたすべての仕事でした

- Bailouts, Bankruptcy, and the Revival of Saab Automobile
Sitting in a movie theater a few weeks ago sleepily waiting for the previews to begin, a sleek add jolted me to my senses. It was an advertisement for the latest cars built by Saab, supposedly the automobile brand that had vanished due to bankruptcy. 眠た開始するプレビューを待って数週間前に映画館に座って、洗練された、私の感覚に私を揺れました追加します

- 2012 US election calendar begins to take shape | Richard Adams
Republicans choose the city of Tampa in Florida as the site of the party's 2012 presidential nominating conventionJust to show that it's never too soon to be thinking about the 2012 presidential elections, the Republican party today named Tampa as the site of its 2012 convention – meaning that the GOP convention will be hot stuff in all senses.The Republican convention will take place in the St Pete Times Forum on the week beginning 27 August. Florida in August? Tampa has an average daytime temperature of a toasty 90 degrees in August, with high humidity. It's also reputed to be the lap-dancing capital of America.Another major contender was Phoenix, Arizona, and the heat there in August is furnace-like, so between that and the immigration law controversy the RNC made a smart call.Conventional wisdom has it that the site of its convention gives that party a boost in that state during the following election, although the evidence is mixed. But Florida remains hugely important in US politics and is a genuine swing state, so it's worth a shot.The Democratic party convention – a far less exciting prospect with a sitting president – is the following week, from 3 September, but the DNC hasn't decided on a venue yet. The contenders are said to be St Louis, Cleveland, Houston and Charlotte, according to various reports. Houston in August would make Tampa seem bracing. Being in Ohio, Cleveland would match Florida in the crucial swing-state stakes.The Republican primary calendar is the one to watch, and the party's sexily-named temporary delegate selection committee is said to be recommending that no contests be held prior to 1 February, and that only Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina be allowed to hold their primaries and caucuses before the start of March.
