	BJ: The Wind from Nowhere
		Savour it as a relic from the time when Ballard was new and fresh, and when it wasn't apparently in the contract that no copy editor should come within a mile of a Ballard manuscript.
		This guy is seriously screwed — his idea of fun is to play the sound of the wind, transmitted live from outside the pyramid, into his office so that he can face the elements in the comfort and safety of his own home, as it were.
		Then when the wind has done its cleansing work, it dies down and you can believe that things can start over in a better way.

		The complete wind tunnel with its test chamber and attached shop area was housed within a small laboratory building that also served as the return passage for the air.
		Nowhere is this transition more evident than in the NACA wind tunnels of the Unitary Plan.
		Nowhere in wind tunnel design has change been more rapid than in the area of data acquisition systems.

		Cape Wind Associates is about to file preliminary permit requests for a plant to be built five miles off the coast of Cape Cod.
		Nowhere is this truer than in Europe and in the northeastern United States.
		The American Wind Energy Association, a group consisting of corporate members who are investing in land-based wind energy, claim that the cost of electricity from large, utility-scale wind systems has dropped from 38 cents per kilowatt hour to about 4 cents.

		The 120-foot-tall, 20-kilowatt wind turbine they erected six years ago not only meets their electricity needs, it also feeds excess to Lake Region for other customers’ use.
		"Wind is an intermittent resource; therefore, you have got to have a plan in place to fill in when all of a sudden wind stops," says Alders.
		Leading the way in wind energy growth will be the addition of large-scale turbines to meet new obligations taken on by Xcel Energy in recent months.

		They also say there is a chance that Cape Wind's power will be used elsewhere on the New England electricity grid, so their peninsula and islands might not benefit directly.
		Kennedy and the others say the Cape Wind project has revealed a weakness in federal law: The only agency that has final say on a precious ocean resource is the one that deals with dock and dam issues.
		He cites examples of communities in upstate New York that accepted smaller wind farms when residents saw something in it for them, such as payments to farmers who let the towers be built in their fields.

	Cycling in the wind (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It's amazing how much harder you can make yourself work when the wind is at your back and you are doing 28 mph like it was nothing, but when it is at your front and you are struggling to keep 15, you just want to quit, and it lessens the quality of your ride.
		What DOES really piss me off is when the wind is gusting because as soon as you get into the right gear the wind picks up and forces you to shift, then dies down and you have to shift again...etc. This greatly reduces efficiency and usually lowers my average by 2 mph.
		The first night the wind was really strong and I was actually forced to stop for breath for a few minutes once I'd cleared the steepest part of the ascent.

		Gone With The Wind, however, is nowhere near as openly resentful as Birth of a Nation.
		For better or worse, Gone With The Wind is one of the most American films ever made, in every respect, from the sense of bigness to the need to invent and improve to the complex and confounding cultural messages.
		Gone With The Wind was shot using three-strip Technicolor, a camera technology that used three different film strips to capture the red, blue and green portion of the spectrum separately.

	Airborne electricity/1
		Although wind has been generating electricity since the 1930s, the revival of interest in wind power dates to the oil crises of the 1970s.
		If wind generators worked at full output all the time, one megawatt of capacity would serve the average needs of about 380 people in the United States, together with their share of industry and agriculture.
		But wind turbines actually produce about 23 percent of their rated capacity when averaged over the year, says Michelle Montague, communications director of the American Wind Energy Association.

	A Darkness at Sethanon by Raymond Feist
		The captain, a tall old man with a scarred face and a white eye, paused as he was touched by the freshening wind.
		Farther to the north, the wind blew through the streets of a city, creating angry little dust swirls that danced a mad caper across the cobbles, skittering along like demented jesters.
		The wind swept northward until it struck a forest where little apelike beings, gentle and shy, huddled in the branches, seeking a warmth that only close physical contact can provide.

	The Wind From Nowhere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wind from Nowhere (1961, ISBN 014002591X) is the debut novel by J.G. Ballard, although he has since tended to disown the book.
		The novel was the first of a series of Ballard novels dealing with scenarios of 'natural disaster', in this case seeing civilization reduced to ruins by prolonged worldwide hurricane force winds.
		As an added, and interesting, dimension Ballard explores the ways in which disaster and tragedy can bond people together in ways that no normal experiences ever could.

		Laying in bed in the middle of the night all is quiet, at first.
		Nowhere have I found absolute silence like that of the desert, especially desert canyons.
		Mountains are great for their spectacular vistas, but they are not quiet - the wind is always there, the trees creaking or snow settling, the rustle of birds and animals.

		During the game, the Vikings crashed and burned as well, as Kansas City's Jan Stenerud battled the winds and nailed three FG's while Len Dawson, the Chiefs' QB who was renowned for his pin-point passes, (and his gambling), tamed the elements in completing 12 of 17 passes for 142 yards and a TD.
		So, if it is logical to assume teams accustomed to playing in the wind perform better in the wind, then it must also be true that teams who are not accustomed to playing in the wind, struggle badly in that environment.
		Brett Farve was the most proficient passer in the wind, completing 67% of his passes and carrying a 2-0 record.

		In the end, they swung me into her by a rope (for they had no stern ladder), and then they cut me adrift.
		In a kind of stupor I watched all hands take to the rigging, and slowly but surely she came round to the wind; the sails fluttered, and then bellied out as the wind came into them.

		Wendesday night, the wind howled all night and it was still screaming on Thursday morning.
		So today's weather was truly awesome, but then, out of nowhere, the wind returned during our picnic dinner and so we ended up picking up stuff from all over the picnic grounds before we aborted the whole thing.
		Anyhow, the wind has been an interesting addition, but this place is truly awesome from a scenery standpoint (as you will see in the linked Photo Album pages).

		The wind from nowhere made him tremble as did the thought of all these who felt it before and will feel it yet.

		The runway was narrow, only 45', slightly uphill, and the wind was gusting and variable, and a too strong for me to handle in my plane under these conditions.
		The extra reasons that made it a no-go were the fact that the plane was very heavy with the passenger, gear, luggage and fuel, and on top of it all, the density altitude was over 7000'.

	J. G. Ballard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He wrote his first novel, The Wind from Nowhere, over a two-week holiday simply to gain a foothold as a professional writer, not as a "serious novel".
		When it was successfully published in January of 1962, he quit his job at Chemistry and Industry, and from then on supported himself and his family as a writer.
		Several of Ballard's earlier works deal with scenarios of 'natural disaster'; most notably a quartet thematically based on the four Classical Elements of Aristotle, featuring The Wind From Nowhere (Air), The Drowned World (Water), The Crystal World (Earth), and The Drought (Fire).

		Sides are squaring off -- with Democratic dynasties like the Kennedys pitted against environmental groups, and some organizations that promote bird, wildlife and ocean preservation cautiously disagreeing with their broader-based brethren who promote alternative energy.
		His group and others see the Cape Wind project as potentially groundbreaking, noting that other East Coast wind-farm proposals have since sprung up, though some are speculative.

	Literary Encyclopedia: J. G. Ballard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Ballards thematic and stylistic overhaul of the science fiction genre set the precedent for the emerging strain of science-fiction writing called “New Wave Speculative Fiction” (1962-78) which was to hit both sides of the Atlantic in the 1960s and in which Ballard was a prominent British voice.
		A conventional piece of disaster fiction, The Wind from Nowhere was, on the author's admission, a piece of hackwork which allowed him to make the transition to becoming a full-time writer.
		The Wind from Nowhere, The Drowned World, The Drought and The Crystal World, which are often referred to as the “Global Disaster Quartet”, meditate upon the physical and psychological metamorphoses of man in the face of environmental apocalypse.
