Tracey Morgan Gallery is pleased to present landmarks, an exhibition of new work by photographer Colby Caldwell. On view are large-scale, wax coated color photographic prints of elements from the natural world abstracted by digital interventions. Paired with these are small, meditative photographs taken from the forest floor of bright skies framed by treetops. In his most recent work, Caldwell explores the forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains collecting what could be thought of as visual "field recordings." Using a flatbed scanner as a makeshift camera, Caldwell documents what he encounters on his wanderings: decomposing leaves, moss, lichen, tree bark. The resulting images are punctuated by digital interferences – unnatural hues of pinks, reds, and greens, swaths of pixilation, and large streaks where the scanner attempts and fails to "accurately" record information. Caldwell asks us to examine often overlooked details from the forest floor in a new view, not shying from the digital idiosyncrasies inherent in the process of scanning 3-dimensional objects on a flat surface. Where much of Caldwell's previous work has included bringing nature into his studio, this series flips the script in a unique examination of technology's place in the natural world. The work pushes at the parameters of traditional, photo historical nature specimen documentation. Caldwell is less interested in precisely cataloging samples, and more interested in investigating which tools we use to do so. The work additionally looks at how history is held within the landscape, and the ways humans have appropriated the land, contested its ownership, and used it for sustenance. Caldwell's unconventional, experimental methodology of documentation seems to be pointing to the many ways these histories have been obscured, and the way our connection to nature has changed in the contemporary digital era. Colby Caldwell (American, born 1965), once a student of history, has tested virtually every avenue of the personal uses of photography as an instrument of memory. While his early work replicated the theatrical feeling of 19th Century "drawing with light," his most recent efforts deconstruct the very elements of digital photography. Caldwell has held teaching positions at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC; St. Mary's College of Maryland; and currently at Warren Wilson College, Swannanoa, NC. His work is included in the collections of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC; and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, LA. Caldwell received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in 1990. Recent solo exhibitions include Selu Songs at the Radford Art Museum in early 2022. He was featured in the book Art of the State, published November 2022, which surveys contemporary art in his home state of North Carolina. He currently lives and works in Asheville, NC.

Lydia Lunch , née Lydia Anne Koch le  à Rochester (États-Unis) est une chanteuse, poétesse, écrivaine, et actrice américaine.  Sa carrière musicale débute au sein du groupe Teenage Jesus and the Jerks sur l'album anthologique de Brian Eno paru en 1977 : , considéré comme l'acte fondateur du mouvement . Égérie du mouvement  et  new-yorkais, auteure de plus de trente albums, elle a également enregistré avec Sonic Youth et Nick Cave, a publié en collaboration avec Exene Cervenka l'album  et collabore avec Rowland S. Howard. Actrice du cinéma underground, elle a participé à de nombreux films. Artiste de la mouvance underground, Lydia mène une carrière faite de nombreuses collaborations. Elle réside actuellement à Brooklyn après 10 années passées à Barcelone.

Biographie

Lydia Lunch a raconté son arrivée à New York et ses premières expériences dans son livre autobiographique Paradoxia, journal d'une prédatrice, dont elle assume dans ses interviews la crudité et la violence. Victime d'inceste, elle quitte à seize ans le foyer familial pour connaître la rue et les bas-fonds de New York : alcool, drogue et diverses expériences sexuelles.

C'est Willy DeVille qui lui donna son surnom, « Lunch » (repas, en anglais) car elle dérobait souvent les repas des Dead Boys. Après s'être liée d'amitié avec Alan Vega et Martin Rev (fondateurs du groupe Suicide) au Max's Kansas City, elle a fondé l'éphémère mais influent groupe no wave Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, avec James Chance. Teenage Jesus and the Jerks de même que The Contortions, groupe fondé ultérieurement par James Chance, apparaissent tous deux sur la compilation no wave No New York, produite par Brian Eno. Lydia Lunch participa aussi à deux morceaux à l'album Off-White de James White and the Blacks (James White est un autre pseudonyme de James Chance). Novövision d'Yves Adrien évoque fréquemment la figure de Lydia Lunch et les quatre vers suivants, traduits par Y. Adrien dans la chanson The Closet de Teenage Jesus and the Jerks sur No New York, résument assez bien l'ambiance de cette période :

Après tout, qui a besoin d'un cerveau?
Qu'on me tire une balle dans les yeux
Qu'on me crève les yeux
Et l'on verra bien si j'en meurs...

Lunch joue dans deux films de Scott B and Beth B. Dans Black Box (1978) elle est une dominatrice, et dans Vortex (1983) elle joue le rôle d'une détective privée appelée Angel Powers. À cette époque, elle a aussi joué dans plusieurs films de Vivienne Dick, en particulier She Had Her Gun All Ready (1978) et Beauty Becomes The Beast (1979), avec Pat Place.

Au milieu des années 80 elle a créé sa propre compagnie de disque, Widowspeak, sur laquelle elle a continué à enregistrer son propre matériel, qu'il s'agisse de musique ou de poésie orale («  »).

La carrière solo de Lydia Lunch a comporté de très nombreuses collaborations avec des musiciens tels que J. G. Thirlwell, Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, Nick Cave, Marc Almond, Billy Ver Planck, Steven Severin, Robert Quine, Sadie Mae, Rowland S. Howard, Michael Gira, The Birthday Party, Einstürzende Neubauten, Sonic Youth, Oxbow, Die Haut, Omar Rodríguez-López, Black Sun Productions, ainsi que le groupe Français Sibyl Vane, qui a mis en musique un de ses poèmes. Elle a aussi été active dans le domaine du cinéma underground, en tant que scénariste, réalisatrice ou actrice, collaborant en particulier avec le cinéaste et photographe underground Richard Kern. Plus récemment, elle a produit des enregistrements et des spectacles de poésie orale, collaborant avec des artistes tels que Exene Cervenka, Henry Rollins, Juan Azulay, Don Bajema, Hubert Selby Jr., et Emilio Cubeiro, organisant entre autres une performance nocturne de poésie orale, The Unhappy hour, au Parlour Club. Elle est l'auteur de plusieurs livres et d'un comic book en partenariat avec Ted McKeever.

En , Lydia Lunch a sorti l'album studio Smoke in the Shadows sur Atavistic Records et Breakin Beats après six ans d'interruption de ses activités musicales. Nels Cline, le guitariste du groupe de rock alternatif Wilco, a participé à cet album. En 2009, Lydia Lunch a créé le groupe Big Sexy Noise. Elle en assure le chant, avec James Johnston (guitare), Terry Edwards (orgue, saxophone et guitare) et Ian White (batterie). Johnston et Edwards sont membres du groupe Gallon Drunk. Un premier EP homonyme de six titres est sorti en  sur Sartorial Records. Cet EP comporte une reprise du morceau de Lou Reed Kill Your Sons ainsi que The Gospel Singer, un morceau coécrit avec Kim Gordon. En 2010, elle a enregistré avec Big Sexy Noise leur premier album, lui aussi homonyme et en 2011 le second, intitulé Trust The Witch. Pour accompagner ces deux sorties, Lydia Lunch et son groupe ont fait une tournée de concerts internationale.

En 2010, le Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project a sorti We Are Only Riders, le premier d'une série de trois albums comportant des travaux en cours inédits de Jeffrey Lee Pierce. L'album comporte des interprétations de morceaux de Pierce par des amis et des collaborateurs, dont Lydia Lunch. Celle-ci a aussi participé au deuxième album de la série, The Journey is Long, enregistré en  et devrait aussi faire partie du quatrième et dernier album, The Task Has Overwhelmed Us, dont la sortie originellement prévue pour fin 2012 a été repoussée sine die.

En 2011, Lydia Lunch apparait dans Mutantes (Féminisme Porno Punk), film réalisé par Virginie Despentes, auquel participent entre beaucoup d'autres Annie Sprinkle et Catherine Breillat.

"The work contained here is a collection of papers dealing with metal/mold interactions in net shaped cast steels. These unwanted interactions lead to surface defects that warrant extensive rework or in extreme cases, scrapped casting. The overall goal of these papers was to understand the mechanisms behind the surface defects that form in investment casting and no-bake casting. Even though the molding media may be different, the underlying goal of understanding why coating breaches occur and identifying approaches to prevent metal penetration and casting surface defects is the same.
The first two papers deal with measurement of factors such as thermal conductivity change of the shell, the mechanisms of condensation and effects of drain angle on the heat of condensation as well as documentation of autoclave and boilerclave conditions. The first of the two papers is an overview of the design of a data acquisition system to measure the aforementioned properties. The second paper contains the collected data, detailed explanations of the results and conclusions.
The third paper is a study of thermal and structure properties of various investment casting waxes. Four foundries submitted commonly molded, filled virgin wax patterns and identically shaped filled reclaimed wax patterns for comparison. These samples and a pure polyvinyl ether wax were analyzed for crystallinity using x-ray diffraction. Additionally, each wax was subjected to differential scanning calorimetry to examine the heat capacity, heat of fusion, melting temperature and glass transition temperature (Tg) for various heating rates. This information is useful when comparing foundry to foundry and when evaluating the efficiency of each foundry's reclamation process.
The last paper is the culmination of several designed experiments on the mechanisms behind burn-in, bum-on and penetration in no-bake molding systems. These designed experiments explore the effects of several process factors such as sand composition, sand reclamation process, molding techniques and coating application on adhering sand defects. It also presents the resulting conclusions based on the outcomes of the various trials"--Abstract, page iv.

On October 12, 1938, Frank Lloyd Wright submitted an application to the United States Patent Office for a "new, original, and ornamental Design for a Dwelling". The application was accompanied by two drawings – a perspective view of the dwelling showing flat roofs and slatted facades (fig. 1), and a top, plan view drawing. The plan drawing shows a pinwheel arrangement of four rooftops separated by crossing walls, and at the bottom of the page, Frank Lloyd Wright is indicated as "inventor" (fig. 2). The patent was granted and issued in April of 1939. At some point that year, Otto Tod Mallery commissioned Wright to build a prototype house for his Suntop Homes development in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. It was better known as The Ardmore Experiment but was referred to as "quadruple house" or the "quadruple home" by Frank Lloyd Wright and it was part of Wright's ongoing ideas about affordable group dwellings, assembled around a central point. Although Mallery built one dwelling out of the set of four, and the patent was only effective for seven years, Wright regarded the built unit as a model for his future housing projects.
In our project for a low-income dwelling in rural Mexico, the idea of the "quadruple house" is reintroduced not only as a notion to group together dwellings for extended family units, but also to formulate an idea about housing expansion in a rural territory through circular zoning. To respond to the way in which a family in rural Mexico would add-on to an existing small house, our project starts with crossing concrete block party walls and a single house in one quadrant. This is unlike Wright's quadruple scheme, which was about the initial co-existence of four units. The open quadrants in our project are therefore defined as outdoor spaces to accommodate lifestyles of rural Mexican families – such as dining, clothes washing, gardening and playing, and the concrete block walls provide a backdrop for these activities through their figural outlines. Additional dwellings could replace up to two other outdoor quadrants for a total of three houses and a single shared outdoor quadrant. As the property is defined by its center where the adjoining corners of the cross-walls meet, the rest of the property extends radially into the agricultural plot. Multiple circular zones of homes are envisioned to allow for expansive massing surrounded by rural landscape. Frank Lloyd Wright's "invention" of the quadruple house arrangement provides new ways to consider group housing and domestic living, which is taken as a precedent in our project for a house in rural Mexico.

The two black men who were arrested in a Philadelphia Starbucks settled with the coffee chain for an undisclosed amount.
They also settled with the city for $1 each and a $200,000 pledge fromPhiladelphia to fund a program for young entrepreneurs.
The arrest of the two men, who weren't charged with a crime, started a national conversation about racial profiling.
Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson, who were attested in a Philadelphia Starbucks last month without being charged for a crime, are settling with Starbucks for an undisclosed amount, according to the Associated Pres s.
The amount was not disclosed, but the company said that Robinson and Nelson, who are both 23 years old, would be able to complete their undergraduate degrees through Starbucks's partnership with Arizona State University. Their tuition will be fully covered.
Starbucks is also arranging a meeting between the two and Eric Holder, a former Attorney General during the Obama administration. Holder recently criticized Philadelphia police for the arrest and praised Starbucks for its commitment to diversity efforts following the scandal.
The city of Philadelphia also announced a settlement with the two men for a symbolic $1 each, according to the Associated Press.
Additionally, at their request, the city of Philadelphia has promised to spend $200,000 on an entrepreneurial program for high school students.
"We thought long and hard about it and we feel like this is the best way to see that change that we want to see," Robinson told the Associated Press. "It's not a right-now thing that's good for right now, but I feel like we will see the true change over time."
A Starbucks coffee cup with "Stop Calling Cops!" written on the side sits on a table as police monitor protesters on April 16.
The arrest started a national controversy over racial profiling. Donte and Robinson were in the Starbucks for a business meeting and waiting for a third party, they said. The store manager claimed he called the police after Robinson and Nelson refused to buy anything. When police arrived, they arrested the two and took them out in handcuffs. They spent hours in jail before being released, and police didn't charge them with anything.
Kevin Johnson, Starbucks's CEO, apologized for the scandal. The company is planning to close thousands of stores on May 29 so its employees can undergo racial bias training.
Jim Kenney, the mayor of Philadelphia, said he is ready to see the city move on.
"I am pleased to have resolved the potential claims against the city in this productive manner," he told the Associated Press. "This was an incident that evoked a lot of pain in our city and put us under a national spotlight for unwanted reasons."

Backing Gainsborough with the Communities Secretary
I met with the Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick yesterday putting the case for Gainsborough to get better funding.
We need to tackle pockets of deprivation like the South West Ward but WLDC also have well-thought-out plans for the whole town and its surrounding communities.
The Communities Secretary was very encouraging and urged West Lindsey to use the new Levelling Up Fund to apply for support from central government. I have been liaising with the district council to see how best to help.
Sir Edward Leigh, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Gainsborough, has welcomed the announcement of more than £10 million in Levelling Up funding for the town following West Lindsey District Council's successful bid to the Treasury.

"Can't you find something else to talk about? Is this song the only one you sing? Makes you look better when you put things down?
Value your opinion! Don't criticize my friends. Criticize my ideas. Don't criticize my life style. I'm fed up 'cause all you want to do is criticize." As many words that pretty much describe how the one under the spotlights may happen to feel at times. Certainly enjoying glory, but also its counterpart in the meantime. In other words, the pressure. Besides, I'm not even thinkin' as to how it can be nowadays with the social networks. With anybody in the position to say anything almost without control.
Alexander O'Neal first saw the light of the day back on Nov. 15, 1953 in Natchez, MS, a few months after his father got killed. He attended Alcorn State University after graduating from high school in his hometown. And at age of 20, he relocated to Minneapolis, where he started working as a petrol-pump attendant. He also happened to be a keen football player before venturing into singing. Believing in his vocal abilities, he sang with local group The Philadelphia Stories before forming his own bands. First with The Black Market Band then The Mystics.
1987 saw him gettin' a new status with the release of his 'Hearsay' album. An effort which yelded a bunch of classics for him. From 'Fake' to 'Criticize'. But also '(What Can I Say) To Make You Love Me', 'The Lovers' and 'Never Knew Love Like This'. Eventually enjoying greater success in the UK than he was in his native US. Such as he brilliantly demonstrated it with six sold out nights at Wembley Arena. 'Hearsay' reapparing the year after as a part of an 'All Mixed Up' remix album.
Alexander O'Neal released his fourth album – 'All True Man' – by the beginning of 1991. But although it featured extra charting singles such as its title cut and 'What Is This Thing Called Love' (with remixes courtesy of David Morales and Frankie Knuckles), its sales did not reach the level of 'Hearsay'. No more than its follow-up – 'Love Makes No Sense' – which was his first without without production from Jam and Lewis and his last for Tabu back in 1993. Eventually marking O'Neal's progressive fall along with time. Such as his signature with Motown although no singles or albums saw the light at the time.


This is a big Unit, but also the most rewarding. Expect it to take about 4. To demonstrate what you should have at the end of this Unit, check out the Demo for Unit 10.
We're going to need to talk a bit about some math concepts.


Saks Fifth Avenue was the brainchild of Horace Saks and Bernard Gimbel, who operated independent retail stores on New York's 34th Street at Herald Square in the early 1900s. Their dream was to construct a unique specialty store that would become synonymous with fashionable, gracious living.
On November 4, 2013, Saks Incorporated was acquired by Hudson's Bay Company (HBC), North America's longest continually operated company, joining a portfolio of iconic brands including Hudson's Bay and Lord & Taylor.

Cheshire, United Kingdom (8th April 2013) – Digital agency Click Consult is excited at the prospect of Facebook's new 'Home' programme for Android smartphones.
In an announcement on its Newsroom section on 4 April, the California based organisation introduced its new programme, Facebook Home, which "lets you see the world through people, not apps." Facebook says that Home is designed so that users can have their smartphone based around the social networking site, rather than having to access an app to access their notifications. Instead, a cover feed will replace a phone's home lock screen and will be used to stream updates and news from Facebook. Home will also have 'chat heads' at every point, allowing users to chat with their Facebook friends even when using other apps.
Home will be available on the Google Play Store from 12 April and can be used on the HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung GALAXY S III and Samsung GALAXY Note II.
Digital agency Click Consult has a dedicated social media marketing team that can help brands to raise their profiles on sites such as Facebook. In December 2012, Facebook had one billion monthly active users, making it an extremely powerful tool with which businesses can use to promote their goods and services.

TRAMPLINE SIMON
This is a Simon game played on mini trampolines: the trampolines light up in a pattern, and the player jumps in response. This is actually Revenge of Trampoline Simon, I made the first version a few years ago for the Cyberbuss Costume Ball, but the police made me shut it down after like an hour. And not for the obvious reasons: they decided that of all the things going on at that party, the big fire hazard was the extension chord running to my Simon game. Boobs.
Anyway, that version was somewhat limited since I wired directly into an actual Simon game, connecting relays to the outputs to trigger my lights. It worked great, but it gave me no flexibility: if I wanted to change anything about the gameplay at all (for example, give people a bit more time to respond to the pattern), no dice.
Hence Revenge of Trampoline Simon, which I coded from scratch. Now I can set every aspect of the play, from how long the pattern is, to how fast the computer shows you it, to the various delays.
Thanks Glen for shooting these videos at our last party. The lighting is a little low but you can get the idea.
video 1 (me almost winning)
video 2 (teamwork)
Trampoline Simon is back from the 2006 Maker's Faire!
This just in: Simon discussed in a News.com article.
Whoa that was fun. Two days of the geekiest people you've ever seen and the people who love and/or hate them wandering around in a daze of bemused amazement. And of course kids, lots and lots of kids, all of whom gravitated to Simon like Steve Wozniak to a Segway.
In hindsight it seems ridiculous, but I really didn't anticipate kids using this. Most of my toys are for adults, but I guess there's something about kids and trampolines and lights:
There's lots of different factors when making stuff for kids. For starters they're incredibly rough on things, and they broke a couple of trampline sensors in no time with their wild jumps. I called Jameco to get more 2" lever switches, which are otherwise impossible to get locally, but they were closed for some mysterious holiday. Hmm.... So I put up my "back in 10 minutes" sign and drove to a hardware store to look for a solution. Stovetop grease pans! Perfect! You can see them here mounted all nice and tidy over the sensors to protect them, worked great, and they even have little holes to let me adjust the sensors:
Every now and again an adult would play, but it was rare:
So I dealt with the kids, some of whom weren't even heavy enough to register a jump on the trampolines. I wound up putting up a sign saying "You must be this heavy to go on this ride: 70 pounds". Heres the poster they put in front of my "exhibit", with my modifications:
Here's some god awful footage someone shot and uploaded to youtube. This first one became a "featured video" on youtube's homepage and got 100,000 views the first day. But this kid isn't even playing right, he's doing what I call "dosey doe" style, putting his left foot in and his left foot out, instead of jumping, hence he doesn't trigger the sensor every time. Kids!
His dad does a better job.
I became the crusty carny manning the game, and took to harassing my neighbors. Next to me was the amazing giraffe robot, so I taped this on for no reason at all:
And I made myself a t-shirt:
Here's me being interviewed for The Tonight Show, whoa:
If I may return to the kids issue for a moment: another big problem is they don't know how to play Simon. And you try explaining the rules to a 10 year old. Fifty times. Note the silly little sign:
And it was a bit much when some parent came by asking if I'd seen "the kid in the blue jacket who was just here a second ago", and seemed slightly pissed that I didn't know who he was talking about or where he went. As if I'm somehow differentiating between these little hooligans. I can see my project for next year already: RFIDs for all the kids.
But Trampoline Simon was a big success, and ran reasonably reliably, and the Faire was a gigantic hoot, so I'm not complaining.
And big props to Diamond Dave for cutting that center piece the night before the event, infinitely better than the old amoeba-like incarnation. He did an amazing job, we didn't have the trampolines at his shop, he made it just from the knowledge that each trampline is 40 inches diameter. Fits absolutely perfectly and, as one person said, "it looks pro".
The thriftshop briefcase containing the Simon brains was considerably less pro (the sign says "crappy laptop! don't steal!"):
There were lots and lots of other cool things at the Maker's Faire, this is just one, but man was I impressed. It's a school bus owned by Graffiti Research Lab, who as far as I know invented LED Throwies (note the illuminated colorful stuff on the roof), and they've taken it a step further with conductive paint and tape on the side of their bus so the exterior walls are basically a traced circuit board. It's hard to explain, but note the lit up dots in the big letters on the side of the bus: those are LEDs, lit in an animated pattern. Just awesome.
A closer look. Those faint lines are the painted on circuit running from the brain to the LEDs:
And the wheels, fully animated, the boys in the hood would be proud. I'm wondering how this handles driving speeds:
Then over to the Microsoft building where they were busily trying to co-opt the D.I.Y. spirit with their crappy & restrictive programming language:
I couldn't resist putting up this Silly Little Sign™ at the exit of their building. For the less geeky in the audience, Python is an open source programming language written by the folk for the folk, fantastically powerful, the exact opposite of Microsoft's Visual Basic aka VB :
This cracked me up. Everything here was so super modern and young, and then these older guys had a slide ruler exhibit. Just perfect.
More Silly Little Signs™ in no particular order. This one on a random wall:
Next to the mess we left behind (sorry about that, we couldn't find a garbage in the parking lot):
My shirt, updated for day 2, since everyone's shirt said something geeky:
And finally, here's the Trampline Simon champion in the under 16 division. One of the five people to win, meaning she completed a 10 hop pattern, which sounds much easier than it is.
But yeah, we came, we saw, we watched a lot of people hop, talked to some really interesting folks, met a lot of kindred souls, got a lot of good inspiration, talked to too many parents struggling to break out of parent mode, drank some shitty overpriced beer that tasted fantastic, saw some people who were amusingly over geeky, saw some hilarious Segway wipeouts and near wipeouts, saw a lot of amazing robots in various forms, fixed a lot of malfunctioning trampoline sensors, and once again thanked god I live in the Bay Area.
Wow, Ryan Junell took some amazing pics, if you're looking for a good overview of the Faire his are it. Here's his Simon pics, I wish mine were this good:
Pay no attention to the spaghetti beneath the tramplines:

Googling for Trampoline Simon is always interesting... a few mentions I've found:
Bernie DeKoven, Funsmith
Quick Blurb
Quick Video
Same Video, on Google Video
Video Workout
Earlier Incarnations:
Here's what Trampoline Simon looked like ten days before the Maker's Faire. Note the crappy amoeba-like centerpiece, the unmatched trampolines, the exposed sensors, and the very bad Simon player standing on it (just kidding).
A pic showing some of my other toys in the background. A few Mame cabinets in the background, and my photoboof to the right of those.
Here's the pic that they put on the Maker's Faire poster:
And here's some pics from Simon's opening night, about a month earlier, a none too smooth opening night:
A closeup view of the sensors, which is predictably the weak point in the design. Here I'm using 2" lever switch mounted at the end of a 6" metal rod, and when the trampoline is at rest the switch is closed. When someone jumps, the trampoline pulls away from the switch and the "normally open" output of the switch closes:
Here's an earlier incarnation, before I found the 2" lever switches at Jameco. I'm sure it's a surprise to no one that glueing wire to a regular lever switch didn't work.
Here's the intermediary between the trampolines and the laptop . The green board is a Phidget, which is communicating with my Simon program through the excellent Midas socket server. And the Phidget is triggering the relays in the Radio Shack project board. Things are much tidier now, I built everything into an old spy-style briefcase, but alas I'm lazy so no updated pictures yet:
Some more action shots:


Avalonia -- n. A separate plate in the Early Paleozoic consisting of much of Northern Europe, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and some coastal parts of New England.

Ivy is beautiful. It's hardy and gives cover and privacy. It brings warmth and colour to the darkest of winter days. The fast growing varieties, such as English Ivy (Hedera Helix) are very popular when establishing a garden. Added to which it is great for attracting wildlife. Bumblebees and butterflies drink the nectar and many birds including blackbirds and thrushes eat the berries. However, ivy is also well known for its invasiveness, and with good cause. It can grow rampantly with sometimes disastrous effect, which is why ivy removal needs to be done with due care and consideration.
Ivy makes bare expanses look stunning, such as the sides of buildings, fences, walls and sheds. The most important thing to bear in mind is that the ivy should be planted against trellis that is cited a good few inches away from the structure to avoid the roots embedding themselves into the sides.
It is also wise to keep an eye on its growth as it can play havoc with your mortar and undermine your pointing. High reaching ivy can also become a threat to telephone wires and electricity cables.
Ivy attaches itself with suction-cup-like roots called 'hold fasts'. They are known for their tenacious grip and are very difficult to remove – sometimes taking a sandblaster to remove the roots completely.
There is a common misconception that ivy kills trees if it establishes itself around them. This is not strictly true; it is rather that the resulting actions can.
The competition for nutrients, sunlight and water can undermine the tree, making it weaker and more prone to disease.
Ivy adds moisture around the bark which attracts pests and rot.
Where ivy climbs a tree, the tree's lower branches die back. This causes an imbalance of branches. This and the added weight at the top of the tree can make the tree more at risk of falling in gale conditions.
If you suspect that your ivy is becoming out of control there is much that can be done to remediate the problem. As it is so tenacious and invasive care needs to be taken with ivy removal. Regular maintenance can help keep your ivy healthy without it becoming a pest.

The Many Facets of Chinese Translation Projects
By Alessia Petrucci on October 29, 2013
Category: Translation Services
If you're translating a website for Chinese-speaking audiences, it's worth learning a lesson from one of the most-accessed websites in the world: Wikipedia. A recent New York Times article covering the subject of political and cultural debates raging on Chinese Wikipedia highlighted the complex language and localization issues companies face when Chinese is their target language.
When Chinese Wikipedia debuted in 2002, the site offered dual-versions of content using two different writing systems. A merge between the two versions backfired when linguistic differences caused strife between users. The site now uses language conversion software to permit users to choose their preferred version of Chinese.
Wikipedia affords us a great lesson in the complexities of Chinese. While English doesn't make a distinction between spoken and written versions, Chinese languages do, and Mandarin can be written in either Simplified or Traditional Chinese. Simplified Chinese began in the 1950s in Mainland China as a movement to make the language easier to read by reducing the number of strokes in traditional Chinese characters. Users in Mainland China, Singapore, and Malaysia primarily utilize simplified Chinese. In Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, traditional Chinese tends to be the preference (with Taiwan's government identifying traditional Chinese as "orthodox").
In terms of spoken Chinese, there are many "dialects" (a term which some linguists argue doesn't go far enough to delineate how different these spoken varieties can be). Depending on your business' geographic focus in China, you may need to translate audio components of your site into one or more spoken versions.
Choosing the right version is a regional choice. Mandarin is the official spoken language of the People's Republic of China and is the largest in China (estimated 1.3 billion speakers), common in Northern and Southwestern China. Wu (90 million) is common in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. Yue, also commonly known as "Cantonese" is spoken in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Macau, parts of Southeast Asia (70 million). Min is prevalent in Fujian, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, (especially Malaysia, Philippines, and Singapore). Xiang, also known as "Hunanese" dominates in Hunan, with new Hunanese heavily influenced by Mandarin. Hakka is spoken across southern China, Taiwan, and regions of Southeast Asia as well. Similar to Hakka is Gan, spoken in Jiangxi. (It helps if you have a map!)
Effectively translating your business communications for Chinese customers means selecting the right written and spoken forms for your target audience. While you may not be navigating controversial historical and political topics, there's plenty of complexity to keep you entertained!

Act I: Poor little BP lives a quiet life on a cool, dark shelf. Enter The Baker, who introduces BP to Wet. Bubbles appear.
Act II: The Baker, sensing something dramatic might be happening, then introduces BP and Wet to Heat, and kaboom! Bubbles appear again. The Baker encourages BP, Wet and Heat to travel together to Cookie Land, and they have adventures along the way.
Act III: Out of the oven the Baker pulls beautiful cookies, all puffed up and proud, thanks to BP's double-bubble action.
Actually, except for The Baker, they all get eaten in the end...which, of course, is a happy ending for us!
I'm no scientist, which is perhaps why I'm not a good baker, and I'm always a bit confused about the baking powder/baking soda thing. Baking powder is a chemical -- more precisely, a mix of chemicals, usually cream of tartar and either sodium aluminum sulfate or anhydrous monocalcium phosphate -- that produces a controlled reaction when combined with liquids and heat. Nearly all baking powder sold today is double acting, which means that it contains two acids that react at two different times; the quick-acting acid dissolves first, when mixed with liquid, and the slower-acting acid reacts when activated by heat. These reactions release carbon dioxide gas, which causes the batter that's carrying the baking powder to rise.
Rumford (which used to be made right here in Rhode Island) is the best-known aluminum-free brand of baking powder; check your market for others. There are also sodium-free baking powders; if you use them, be sure to double the amount called for in your recipe, as these products are less powderful.
As a rule, baking powder will last 4-6 months if stored in a cool, dry place. To test the viability of your baking powder, drop a generous pinch in some hot water. If it fizzes, it's still good; if it sinks in a blob to the bottom of the bowl, throw it away.
From the pantry, you'll need: rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, butter, baking powder.
Makes 2 dozen or more.
Dump all ingredients into a large bowl. Mash! Knead! Pound! The longer and harder you mix, the better the cookies will taste!
Roll dough into small balls. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
So glad that you discovered such a funny little gem of a recipe in the yard sale find!
Maybe you can confirm for me: Is Davis Baking Powder available only on the east coast?
Tom, welcome to The Perfect Pantry. Davis, which started in New England, was bought by Nabisco but is now owned by Clabber Girl, which is based in Terre Haute, Indiana. So I'd be surprised if their distribution isn't nationwide. The other brand I use is Rumford.
If I'm not mistaken, I think that's a Peg Bracken recipe - she of the popular "I Hate to Cook Book". There are some great recipes in there.
Thanks, Sixty-Five, and welcome to The Perfect Pantry. (I am also year of the dragon, by the way.) I'm thrilled to know the origin of this recipe. Hooray for Peg Bracken -- her book was a staple in my mother's kitchen.
Can I purchase sodium and aluminum free baking powder in Michigan. I cannot have these items because of health reasons but every recipe calls for baking powder so I barely bake anymore.
I believe the Aggression Cookies recipe was printed in the late Peg Bracken's "I Hate to Cook Book." My Mastercook copy of the recipe has this in the notes "Peg Bracken: 'However, these are the best-tasting as well as the fastest, easiest and cheapest cookies I ever ran into, and I wouldn't say such a thing unless I meant it. The Community Mental Health Center at St. Lawrence Hospital in Lansing, Michigan, printed it, in the hope of channeling some energies away from throwing bricks, or snarling at Santa Claus. The more you knead, mash, squeeze and beat the bejunior out of the dough, the better you feel and the better the cookies taste.'"
I still have yet to try them.. maybe today, since it's so dreary outside!
Geekymom, thank you! Mystery solved!


There is growing confidence that Costa Rica could be one of the first South American property markets to show recovery – just ask the IMF.
Like many countries on the continent it has experienced real estate price declines and a falling off of foreign investment, particularly from US investors.
More doom and gloom this week from economists in the US has not helped encourage many retirees who made up a large percentage of the number of investors in the country but positive predictions from the International Monetary Fund has renewed confidence.
Miquel Savastano, Assistant Director of the IMF Western Hemisphere region predicted that Costa Rica will be one of the first countries whose economies will recover in 2010 based on the financial and fiscal policies of the Costa Rican Government and the country's Central Bank.
His boss Nicolas Eyazaguirre, Director of the IMF, is also confident about the area in general. 'Latin America will experience a quicker recovery than the larger economies because many countries in the region have responded to the crises with policies that boost production and employment,' he told a meeting of US bankers.
'The outstanding feature is that more than six months after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, no Latin American financial system has experienced a banking crisis. Liquidity is good and Latin American banks have little dependence on foreign financing,' he added.
The comments have been welcomed by the real estate industry. 'The IMF's endorsement of the Costa Rica's fiscal policies and their predictions for an early emergence from the current global downturn is great news for investors,' said James Cahill, managing director of Costa Rica Invest, which specialises in investment in development land.
Les Nunez, a real estate consultant in Guanacaste, who has over 12 years experience in the property market, said that he believes prices will show strong returns in coming years as foreign investors realise the strength of the country's economy compared with other popular investment locations.

I know I don't mean this, and I'm going to regret it the moment I hit "post", but sometimes I wish we had Toronto media in the room to ask point blank, even purposefully incendiary questions of the coach like "Coach, AA seemed to have a lot of energy out there, create scoring chances, and carry play, what was behind your decision to play Tatar/Nyquist/Richard more while he rode the bench?"
One of Nyquist or Tatar should be gone by next year. This team does not need either of those two soft bums, let alone both. Trade them while you can still get decent return, after next season they'll be exposed to all, if they haven't been already. Blashill was a complete disappointment in his first year coaching. How does someone watch game after game at ice-level, and still give Tatar Nyquist & Richards that much time while AA cools his heels on the bench? Unbelievable misuse of young talent; totally not as advertised. Ken Holland needs to do some serious soul-searching, realize that doing the same thing for the past 8 years has wasted great careers and driven us to complete mediocrity. If he is as incapable of adaptation as he has proven to be, we need to find someone who is worthy of the seat. Its made all the worse by watching Yzerman and Nill head for greener pastures while Kenny squats in the Wings GM chair and rests on his laurels.
Goodbye, Pasha :'( Sorry we wasted the best years of your career on Todd Bertuzzi and Dan Cleary.
Oh good..... a powerplay. Fitting we should end the season on the futile powerplay that sunk us.
SHOOOOOOT!!!!!..... We have no chance if everyone passes up the shot.
Its disheartening to watch this team perform as poorly as they are. I don't buy that we are still adjusting to Blashill's system, or that injuries and slumps are causing a momentary dip in production. This team seems too talented to produce at these meager rates. Unfortunately, it appears that the young guys who are supposed to be taking the reins - Tatar, Nyquist, and Sheahan in particular - have reached their ceiling and are not the heirs to Datsyuk and Zetterberg they were originally hoped to be. They are tweeners, more in the mold of Franzen. I'm hoping they power through and prove me wrong in the months and years to come, but right now it appears to be a clear case of a fumble in passing the torch. Zetterberg and Datsyuk are on the back nine and their replacements aren't fit to tie their skates.
Haha this reminds me of when we were struggling to make the playoffs in the last few games of the season and he reached out from the bench and knocked down a live puck late in a game to give us a bench penalty. When he was scratched the next game or two and he was interviewed, he shared some delusion about "coach resting veterans before the playoffs", nothing to do with his brain fart almost costing the team the season. Haha this kid is a riot!
It really has been a chore to watch the Red Wings play this season. As others have said ad nauseam, we can't handle the puck or complete a pass the majority of the time. It rolls, it hops a stick blade, its too fast, its too slow, it surprises the receiving player, its too far in front, its too far behind, etc. etc. The team for the most part looks lost. For me there are three major causes: our back-end is absolute garbage, our set plays are predictable and leave little margin for error, and our forward lines change by the shift. All of these are problems this team has had to some degree for the last several seasons, but the third has been a constant source of frustration I feel is seldom mentioned. Hockey is a game of chemistry and timing. You need to have an understanding of linemates' tenancies, speed, role, and skillset. Comfort with linemates can sometimes take time, and when a team is slumping as a whole, all the more. Few things are more infuriating than to see our guys practice with particular line combinations for a few days, get into a game situation, and after a bad first 10 minutes, we shuffle everyone hoping for a spark. Am I the only one who finds this practice absolutely absurd? Lines need time to gel, and teammates need to work themselves out of their slumps together. Shuffling lines at the rate Blashill has been doing, and Babcock used to do, would seem to throw off timing from shift to shift and frustrate players to no end. Its all the more infuriating to watch us break up the lines that are producing to lift underperforming players. Why can't we complete a pass? Our centermen are playing with upwards of 6 different wingers every game. I have to imagine its all the worse trying to break out of a rut when you are constantly hitting the reset button on your chemistry and having to adjust your attack, all while your defense is allowing the opposition to gain momentum on the other side of the ice.
I'm glad to see Larkin back with Z. They have been our most (read: only) consistently positive players thus far this season, and more so when they've been together. Let them do their thing and control play. I'm obviously not an NHL coach, but as a fan I've never subscribed to the method of breaking up linemates that are rolling to pick up the play of their under-performing teammates. Good players when given enough time will and should learn to play through their slumps, especially when its players with a past history of success together (i.e. Tatar and Nyquist). Shuffling lines too frequently tends to do more harm than good. Let the players that are carrying the play continue to build on their momentum. Allow those players in a rut to work their way out of it together and rebuild that chemistry for the long-term good. Don't hide their inadequate play behind the few players that are providing both effort and results. All that does is disrupt things and mask underlying issues. Babcock did that far too much, and so has Blashill thus far.
Should have paid him $950,000 to work concessions or shovel sidewalks at the Joe. It couldn't be any more of a cap circumvention, and at least you'd get something out of the deal.
When I first heard the Wings were approaching Brad Richards, I was repulsed. When I heard one-year term, I actually got a bit excited. It is very unlikely the Wings will want to rush Larkin unless they absolutely have to. We are down our best center until November with Pavel out. Helm is preferred on the wing and could use a serviceable 3rd liner while Larkin seasons another year in the A. We have some money to spend as long as its only for this season. This would also all-but guarantee Cleary is out. I still think we need to trade a defensemen or two for picks/prospects, but Richards for one year in a limited role would be a marked improvement at center. Also hoping Andersson was signed to sweeten the pot when moving some of our extra D.

Q: Line number during cross-referencing. No Line number appears I read these two questions: 1 and 2, but I am still in a trouble.
So, I have two files:
test1.tex:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[nopar]{lipsum}
\usepackage[pagewise]{lineno}
\begin{document}
    \linenumbers  % enable line numbering
    \lipsum[1-6]
    \\ \\
    \label{important}IMPORTANT INFORMATION
    \\ \\
    \lipsum[1-6]
\end{document}

and test2.tex:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[nopar]{lipsum}
\usepackage{xr}
\externaldocument{test1}
\begin{document}
    Important information was given on line \ref{important} of page~\pageref{important}.
\end{document}

But line number did not appear.
Could you help me to have referencing with line number?

A: You can refer with \ref to the number of a line, which has been marked with \linelabel{lne:item}. The command \lineref does something completely different, see the manual.
So you get your reference with:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[nopar]{lipsum}
\usepackage[pagewise]{lineno}
\begin{document}
    \linenumbers  % enable line numbering
    \lipsum[1-6]

    \linelabel{lne:important}IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    \lipsum[1-6]

    The IMPORTANT INFORMATION ist given in line no. \ref{lne:important} on page
    \pageref{lne:important}

\end{document}

The result ist something like »The IMPORTANT INFORMATION ist given in line no. 12 on page 2« in the PDF.

In 2008, the original Specials (minus founding member Jerry Dammers) performed at Bestival. The event was quickly heralded by fans as an amazing experience and the following year, the band embarked upon a massive tour. For many, it was the ultimate nostalgia trip; for younger fans, a very welcome – and unexpected – chance to see the band fronted by the legendary Terry Hall, something unseen since the very early 80s. Sure, the band had made albums with varying line-ups throughout the years and even put on a great live show fronted by Neville Staple in the late 90s, but the classic line up of the Specials was special for a reason. A second full tour in 2011 was captured for posterity on the double disc 'More or Less…The Specials Live', giving those who couldn't make the shows in person their own chance to hear Terry "enjoying himself first".
Most would've predicted the reunion would then fizzle, but over the next few years, other live shows followed. Finally, in 2018, almost a decade on from the big reunion, there were mumblings of a new album on the horizon.

Juraj Jakubisko (Kojšov, 30 de abril de 1938-Praga, 24 de febrero de 2023) fue un director de cine eslovaco. Dirigió quince películas entre 1967 y 2008. A menudo asumía el doble papel de director de fotografía y también se le acredita como guionista, ya que generalmente coescribe o escribe los guiones de sus películas. En 2000 fue nombrado Mejor Director Eslovaco del siglo  por críticos de cine y periodistas. Su trabajo se ha descrito habitualmente como realismo mágico.

Carrera
Antes de entrar en la industria cinematográfica, Jakubisko estudió fotografía en Bratislava, y trabajó para la televisión en Košice. En 1960 se trasladó a Praga donde ingresó en la Escuela de Cine y Televisión de la Academia de Artes Escénicas en Praga (FAMU), estudiando dirección bajo la tutela de Václav Wasserman. Se graduó en 1965 y comenzó a trabajar para Alfréd Radok en el teatro Laterna Magika de Prague. Cosechó sus primeros éxitos internacionales con cortos experimetales antes de debutar con su primer film Los años de Cristo () en 1967. Este film ganó el premio FIPRESCI y el Premio Josef von Sternberg en Mannheim, Alemania. His next film, Deserters and Pilgrims, won the Little Lion award for young artists at the Venice Film Festival.

La carrera de Jakubisko estuvo profundamente impactada por los acontecimientos políticos de Checoslovaquia de 1968, con su trabajo enfrentándose a la censura en el período posterior a la invasión del Pacto de Varsovia liderada por los soviéticos en respuesta a la Primavera de Praga. Durante el período de "normalización" que siguió, hizo algunos documentales, aunque ninguno de ellos importante. Filmó Tri vrecia cementu a zivy kohút  en 1976, pero no fue exhibido públicamente hasta 1978.

Regresó al mundo del largometraje en 1979 con Build a House, Plant a Tree (), que sin embargo estuvo prohibido por sus mensajes contra el régimen, pero no sin antes recibir una acogida positiva en un festival de cine en Ámsterdam. Su reconocimiento en Ámsterdam recobró el interés por el trabajo de Jakubisko, empezando un periodo fértil, culminando en 1983 con la épica La abeja milenaria (). Esta película fue un gran éxito, proyectándose en cines durante muchas semanas después de su estreno y ganando premios en festivales de cine en Sevilla y Venecia. Posteriormente, la película fue nombrada la mejor película de la década de 1980 por los periodistas checoslovacos.

En 1985, Jakubisko dirigió una película para niños, "La dama de las nieves", con Giulietta Masina, la esposa de Federico Fellini, con quien Jakubisko también tenía una estrecha amistad. Su película "Sentado en una rama, divirtiéndome", estrenada tres meses antes del fin del régimen comunista en Checoslovaquia, le valió a Jakubisko su aclamación más internacional, incluido el Gran Premio del Festival Internacional de Cine de Moscú en 1990. En 1990, enseñó su faceta de terror surrealista con See You In Hell, My Friends, un guion que había sido censurado por los censores comunistas durante 20 años.

Jakubisko y su esposa se trasladaron a Praga tras la disolución de Checoslovaquia en 1993, y fundaron una productora, Jakubisko films. El siguiente largometraje de Jakubisko sería Un informe ambiguo sobre el fin del mundo (1997), una comedia satírica basada en las profecías de Nostradamus. La película ganó cuatro premios León Checo.  En 1998, Jakubisko se unió a la Academia de Cine Europeo y también fue galardonado con el Premio Maverick por la Taos Talking Pictures Film Festival.  En el 2000, fue nombrado el Mejor Director Eslovaco del siglo XX por los escritores cinematográficos y ganó el Sello de Oro en Belgrado por su contribución al cine mundial.

En junio de 2001 fue nombrado profesor en FAMU, su alma mater, y la Academia de Arte Masaryk de Praga le otorgó un premio a toda su trayectoria.  En 2002 recibió un León Checo por sus logros artísticos y recibió la Pribina Cross del gobierno eslovaco, un premio especial otorgado a quienes han ayudado en el desarrollo económico, social o cultural de Eslovaquia.  Su siguiente largometraje fue Post Coitum (2004), una comedia sobre el amor protagonizada por Franco Nero.

Bathory
El 2008 vio el estreno de Bathory, protagonizada por Anna Friel como Isabel Báthory, una condesa húngara de los siglos -, a menudo afirmada como una de las nobles más sanguinarias de la historia. Tenía fama de haberse bañado en sangre de jóvenes eslovacas. Famke Janssen fue originalmente elegida para el papel principal.

Además de ser la primera película en inglés de Jakubisko, se informó que  Bathory  sería la producción cinematográfica más cara en la historia de cine de la República Checa, que implica la inversión de numerosas empresas de toda Europa.

En 2007 se informó que dos exmiembros del personal de producción, Jan Milic y Karel Lupomesky, habían robado una copia de la película de los estudios en Praga y amenazaban con publicarla en Internet si no se les entregaba £12000 esterlinas. Pronto fueron aprehendidos y la película fue recuperada, aparentemente sin ser lanzada. La pareja fue declarada culpable y recibió sentencias suspendidas de ocho y diez meses por intento de chantaje al productor Deana Jakubisková-Horváthová.

El estreno mundial de "Bathory" se celebró en el Festival de Cine de Karlovy Vary, República Checa el 10 de julio de 2008. La película fue nombrada la película más exitosa de todos los tiempos en Eslovaquia.

Últimas apariciones
En mayo de 2012 en Praga, a los 74 años, fue operado para el trasplante de corazón. En 2013, Jakubisko publicó la primera parte de su autobiografía, Živé stříbro.

After downloading 1.3 to my LampizatOr DSD Komputer music server, I got an error message saying that my iPhone app had to be upgraded, sending me scurrying to the Apple Apps store to update. After repeating this a handful of times, I was able to logon, but got no sound from my system.
LampizatOr's IT guy will be remote accessing my DSD Komputer later on today to help fix the problem.
I am looking forward to enjoying ROON 1.3!
@Support thank you for fixing this so quickly.
As a follow up I believe this issue may have been related to my use of Exclusive Mode since it doesn't hang when I disable exclusive mode. I'm at work now but when I get home I will post the logs.
OK so I have to admit it was my fault, my Essence HDACC was switched to the wrong input! I think my baby daughter has been playing with it. Nether the less I wouldn't expect it to hang Roon Core.
Good news! ROON is working again on my LampizatOr DSD Komputer music server! While I was tinkering with the ROON Remote controller on my iPhone last night, I got a message that a new update was available at roughly 10 PM CST. I downloaded it.
I had also deleted my ROON Remote and re-uploaded it, which erased my storage settings; it no longer saw my music library. However, I was able to listen to the radio. I started exploring the "Add folder" (or whatever it's called) option and, with trial and error, started re-connecting with the music files. I now have most of my music available. As of this morning, some albums were missing, but that may be due to some files still being re-scanned.
The IT person at LampizatOr seemed relieved to hear this. On checking to see if all my music files were uploaded, he said that he could help me sometime next week or so, as he's swamped with addressing other issues with ROON 1.3.
