East Lothian Nocturne 12 Nov 08
November 13, 2008, 12:35:28 AM »
This is it – the real McChoy. None of this Tuesday night pish. Its just wrong, if God wanted us to ride bikes on a Tuesday night in winter he wouldn't have created Le Patron to found the WNRW. I foresee a split in ERC of Reformation proportions, Sunni vs Shi'ite, Liverpool –v- Everton, Corrie –v- Brookside, People's Front of Judea –v- Judean Popular Front (c.f. Life of Brian) if the one true Wednesday Night Ride is sullied by heretical backsliders kow-towing to the false gods of a Tuesday – get thee behind me Angus (no change there then …. ). I do believe that "Outraged" of Joppa is to lodge a motion at the forthcoming AGM to call for a ban on such deviant practices.
23 WNRW (record attendance so far for season 08-09) gathered at the bogs in Eastern Joppastan for the Return of the Prodigal Sun – yes the Prince of the Pyrenees Mr Andy Broon himself finally graced us with his presence, complete with Berghaus rucksack no less. His too-casual "Its just work stuff" bluff was called when the contents were revealed to include Dyson and Electrolux hoover brochures, a DVD of the complete Kim & Aggie "How Clean is Your House" first series and what looked like the outcome of a smash'n'grab at Remnant Kings with enough swatches of material to make a second coat for Joseph (of technicolour fame).
Le Patron chose another hilly 50 miles for us tonight. Can't understand all this recent fascination with hill training (Ed. note - see
The fairly civil start, punctuated only by uncontested sprint primes for Messrs, Finlati, Roosselli & Brunokourov, was rudely interrupted when we headed up Garleton Hill. Stollers' insistence that he was "tete de la course" was rudely ignored as the BIG UNITS swamped him and scampered up the climb at Tuesday night "brisk" pace, ignoring the usual left & going on for a second climb towards the wee yak.
We regrouped at what looked like a lorry park for a breather and to answer the call of nature. This prompted the resident of the nearby house to rush out & investigate all the flashing lights – obviously thought it was a UFO or something, good job he was in his land rover to cover the 200 m from his door to where the bunch were located or he might have recorded a new Max HR.
On the descent into Haddington I took advantage of the relative lack of interest in the 30 to sneak round on the inside and secure the prime points. Some jealous types were complaining but too bad – nobody remembers who came second.
On towards historic Lennoxlove House (available for weddings – recommended by the Big G no less – Lennoxlove that is, and weddings too come to that or at least 2nd ones, which is good news for some of us at any rate) and then a little-used left turn for the ascent of the Galibier of East Lothian complete with several hundred meters of cyclo-cross over some well-dodgy surfaces. Despite some false calls of "puncture" (I think Sumo was just looking for a rest), amazingly the night was puncture-free.
Prize for newbie of the night goes to the Big Zee, Monsieur Zoosh Alors, for a spectacular attack and equally spectacular grinding to a halt shortly thereafter on the way up. The climb was long and pretty steep in places but plenty of people took it in their stride, not least the "Morningside Falcon", Andre Le Bruin, the old magic still there despite all that overtime at work and Sunday outings to I*** (sorry I can't bear to name it).
We then descended into Gifford- fast dark and a bit grubby, and that's the road surface not the locals. I dunno who got the sprint as I was "hangin" wid Puff Daddy Dave Mojo Moran at the back chillin and talking, shi' y'know?
With such a large crowd of newbies it was unanimously agreed between Sumo & Le Patron that they would be given the Full Dale Winton experience, a sneaky 30 round the corner into Pencaitland for The Man & a noisy fast traverse of the Dale Winton estate complete with speed bumps and every road surface known to East Lothian (except tarmac) before a somewhat steady approach to the terrors of the Tranentular townies. There must have been footie on the telly or some other chavtastic entertainment as the lads & lasses weren't out in force but nevertherless those that were there did us proud with the usual grunting squealing and yelling.
The usual fast descent towards Wallyford but surprisingly no final K attack from Tom der Wobbelmeister who was too far down the string, but Eric Easton (Team Cracker Barrel) tried his luck but to no avail. The gruppo going around Ma Formans was surprisingly and somewhat scarily large and I confess to sitting up and just enjoying the sight of 15 or so riders going full tilt for the sprint which was an awesome spectacle. Equipe Velo Ecosse took the honours with the top 2 spots going to Lewis Oliphant and Ben Abrahams, and it was the big man again, Andy Slim Shady Sim who salvaged ERC honour with 3rd place. Team orders will be issued and lead out practice will henceforth take place on Tuesday nights (waddayamean there's another ride? No there isn't) to ensure no repetition.
Great to see Matt the Smithsonian riding into town having missed the turn for the Haddies toun. Turns out he was staying with his mother in law. I was out shopping the other day when I saw six women beating my mother in law up. As I stood there and watched, her neighbor, who knew me, said, "Well, aren't you going to help?" I replied, "No. Six of them is enough".

The lawyer cabled his client overseas: "Your mother-in-law passed away in her sleep. Shall we order burial, embalming or cremation?"
Back came the reply, "Take no chances -- order all three."

You are here: Sri Vaishnava Home Page : Bhakti List : Archives : March 2003 |
From: Rama Krishna K (kramakrishna_at_bhelrnd.co.in)
Date: Sun Mar 02 2003 - 09:02:31 PST
Priya Bhagawatas, Gitajyothi Week No. 47 discourse is ready at the following sites http://www.geocities.com/krk1961 http://gitajyoticurrentweek.tripod.com sarva dharma:n parithyajya ma:m e:kam saranam vraja | aham thva: sarva pa:pe:bhyo: mo:ksha yishya:mi ma:suchaha || 18-66 Lord SriKrishna says to Arjuna "Abandoning all righteous deeds, seek me as thy sole Refuge ; I will liberate thee from all sins ; do thou not grieve. Righteous deeds (dharma) ; including unrighteous deeds (adharma) also, since naishkarmya or freedom from all action is intended to be taught here. Here may be cited such passages of the sruti and the smriti as the following Not he who has not abstained from evil deed .can attain It.(KathaUp. 1224), abandon dharma and adharma So, the passage means renouncing all works. Me alone ; the Isvara, the Self of all, dwelling the same in all. Seek Me as thy sole Refuge: in the belief I myself am that Isvara ; i e, do thou understand that there is naught else except Me. When thou art firm in this faith, I shall liberate thee from all sins, from all bonds of dharma and adharma, by manifesting Myself as thy own Self. So it has been already said here, I destroy the darkness born of ignorance by the luminous lamp of wisdom, abiding in their self.(x. 11.) Wherefore do thou not grieve. " Notes: The compound word `Sarvadharman' in this verse denotes all those duties enjoined by the sastras, which have been prescribed for a particular man according to his grade in society, stage in life, temperament and circumstances, and which have been referred to in verse 6 of Chapter XII [[ But those who worship Me, renouncing all actions in Me regarding Me Supreme, meditating on Me with exclusive devotion (Yoga) ; for them whose thought is fixed on Me, I become ere long, O son of Pritha, the deliverer out of the ocean of the mortal sansara. ]] as `Sarvani Karmani' and by the term `Sarvakarmani' in verse 57 of the present chapter. [[ Mentally resigning all deeds to Me, regarding Me as the Supreme, resorting to mental concentration, do thou ever fix thy heart in Me. Mentally: with discriminative faith. All actions: producing visible and invisible results. Me: the Lord. As taught in ix. 27, do thou dedicate all thy actions to Me. Regarding: regarding Me, Vasudeva, as the highest goal ; his whole self centered in Me. Regarding, & resorting to the Buddhi·Yoga (samahitabuddhitva, steadymindedness, firm faith as thy sole refuge. ]] Laying down all these duties in God in the manner suggested in the commentary on the verses mentioned above is what is meant by the verb `Parityajya'. For, while discussing the conception of `Tyaga' in the course of this chapter, the Lord has unequivocally declared in verse 7 [[ But even those actions should be performed, setting aside attachment and the fruits ; this, O son of Pritha, is My firm and highest belief. Those actions, &c: the acts of worship, gift and austerity which have been said to be purifiers, should be performed, setting aside attachment for them and abandoning their fruits. ]] that it is not justifiable to abandon one's allotted duties, so that giving them up through ignorance is what has been characterized as Tamasika Tyaga. Therefore, by no stretch of imagination can the word `Parityajya' be interpreted in the sense of abandoning all duties. Besides this, the Lord has commanded Arjuna at more than one places III.3O; [[ 30. Renouncing all action in Me with thy thought resting on the Self, being free from hope, free from selfishness, devoid of fever, do thou fight. To Me, Vasudeva, the Divine Being, the Supreme Lord, the Omniscient, the Self of all, surrender all actions, with the wise thought that I, the agent, do this for the Isvaras sake as his liege: Fever: anguish, grief. ]] VIII. 7; [[ 7. Therefore at all times do thou mediate on Me and fight: with mind and reason fixed on Me thou shalt doubtless come to Me alone. Meditate: According to the Teaching (sastra). Fight: do thou perform thy proper duty of fighting. Vasudeva. Come to Me: as meditated upon by thee. The Divine Being to be meditated upon. ]] XI.34 [[ Drona and Bhishma, Jayadratha, Karna and other brave warriors,these, killed by Me, do thou kill ; fear not, fight, thou shalt conger the enemies. The lord speaks of these warriors whom Arjuna had any reason to fear as killed by Himself. Now it is evident why there should be any hesitation (on the part of Arjuna) concerning Drona and Bhishma Drona was his teacher in the science of archery, was possessed of celestial weapons and was especially his (Arjunas) own dear greatest Guru Bhishma had his death at his own command and was possessed of celestial weapons. He once entered into a single combat with ParasuRama and was not defeated. As to Jayadratha, his father was engaged in austerity firmly resolved that whoever causes my sons head to drop down on earth, his head too shall fall: Karna, too, was furnished with an unerring Sakti (missile) given him by Indra. He was a son of the sun, born of a maiden. Wherefore he is also mentioned by name. Enemies: such as Duryodhana. Arjunas adoration of the Universal Form Sanjaya said: ]] not to desist from fighting, which is a sacred duty with the Ksatriyas, but to participate in war resigning all duties to Him. And having carefully listened to the Gita, Arjuna himself not only expresses his willingness to do His bidding in verse 73 of the present chapter, [[ 73. Destroyed is delusion, and I have gained recognition through Thy Grace, O Achyuta. I am firm, with doubts gone. I will do Thy word. Delusion: born of ajnana or ignorance, the cause of the whole evil of samsara, hard to cross like the ocean, who have sought Thy Grace. Recognition: of the true nature of the Self. When this recognition is obtained, then will all the ties of the heart be loosened: This questioning and answering about the destruction of delusion shows conclusively, what the purpose of the knowledge of the teaching of the whole Sastra is, namely, the destruction of delusion and the attainment of a recognition of the Self. So the sruti begins with the words. Not knowing the Self, I grieve and then speaks of the loosening, of all ties by means to Selfknowledge. There are also scriptural passages such as The tie of the heart is broken (Mund. Up. 228) and To him who sees unity, what delusion is there, what grief ? (Isa. Up· 7), I am firm: in Thy command. Do thy word: Arjuna means to say Through Thy Grace I have achieved the end of life: I have naught to do. ]] ' but actually participated in the Mahabharata war and thus discharged his sacred obligation. `Sarvadharman parityajya' should, therefore, be taken to mean laying down all one's duties in the Lord, and not actually giving them up. And the man who has laid down his duties in the Lord regards everything as belonging to Him; and completely renouncing the feeling of `I' and `mine', as well as attachment and desire in respect of his mind, senses and body and with regard to all actions performed by them as well as to their fruit, continues to perform such duties only for His sake and according to His behest's and prompting like a mere tool in His hands. Having resigned all his duties to God in the above manner, the devotee who has solely taken refuge in the Lord regards Him as his supreme goal, safest retreat, chief support, dearest object of love, greatest well-wisher, most intimate friend and nearest relative, and looks upon Him as his supporter, lord and guardian. He constantly thinks of Him at all times with supreme reverence and exclusive love even while sitting or standing, awake or asleep, eating and drinking, walking and moving from one place to another and carrying out His behest's in every way. He ever remains contented with His dispensation and like the celebrated devotee, Prahlada, entirely depends on Him and Him alone. All this is covered by taking refuge in the Lord. The idea has been clearly brought out in the commentary on verse 6 of Chapter XII, the concluding verse of Chapter X [[ But, of what avail to thee is this vast things being known, O Arjuna ? I stand sustaining this whole world by one part (of Myself). Of what avail to you can be this .knowledge of vast but imperfect details Listen, I will tell you completely of it. I stand sustaining firmly this whole world by one part, by one limb, by one foot ; i.e one part of Myself constitutes all beings. ]] and verse 57 of this very chapter. The word `Papa' forming part of the compound word `Sarvapapebhyah' in this verse stands for the bondage of action in the shape of fruits of good and evil deeds, under which this Jiva or embodied soul has been revolving from birth to birth through different species of life; and the absolution from sins referred to here consists in freeing one from the above bondage. Therefore, the idea underlying the freedom from sins promised by the Lord is the same as has been conveyed in verse 31 of Chapter III [[ Men who constantly practice this teaching of Mine with faith and without caviling, they too are liberated from actions. Men who always follow this teaching of Mine without caviling, i.e without cherishing any feeling of envy towards Me, Vasudeva, the Supreme Master (ParamaGuru)they too are released from actions, i,e from dharma and adharma, from the merit and demerit of actions. ]] by the words `Karmabhih mucyante' by the words `Mrtyusamsarasagarat samuddharta bhavami, in verse 7 of Chapter XII, and by the words `Matprasadat sarvadurgani tarisyasi' in verse 58 of the present chapter. [[ Fixing thy heart in Me, thou shalt, by My Grace, cross over all difficulties ; but if from egotism thou will not hear (Me), thou shalt perish. Difficulties: the impassable obstacles arising from (avidya), the cause of samsara. Egotism: the idea that thou art a learned man. If thou wilt not abide by my advice, then thou shalt be ruined. Neither shouldst thou think, I am independent ; why should I obey the dictates of another ? The Lord winds up the teaching of the Gita by comforting Arjuna in the words "Ma Sucah" (worry not). Concluding with these words the teaching which He commenced in verse 11 of Chapter II with the words `Asocyan'(not worth grieving for), the Lord exhorts Arjuna, who had already betaken himself to Him, to urrender himself completely and thereby be rid of all worries, and having shed all grief and fear, abandon himself to His care for ever. This total absence of sorrow and realization of God form the principal theme of the Gita.

The latest bit of Iron Man 3 promotional material showcases Guy Pearce's character, who has been mostly out of the spotlight up til now. His poster features him dramatically removing his sunglasses, which may be dangerous, what with all those sparks flying about.
Pearce plays Aldrich Killian, a very minor character in the Extremis arc of the Iron Man comic, which the film's story is partially based on. In the comic, Killian is a scientist who develops the eponymous Extremis, a nanotech serum, and then sells it to terrorists before killing himself out of guilt. | Full Story

Top 10 Legendary Giants
Few beings capture the imagination more completely than the giant; mankind's earliest legends are rife with tales of Titans and Nephilim, with hulking trolls whose heads scraped the clouds. Christian, Islam, Hindu and even more ancient mythologies all speak of the great beasts that once were, and may be again.
An ancient race of giants characterized by a single eye in the middle of their heads, the Cyclopes were prominent in both Greek and Roman mythology. Written about in Homer's The Odyssey and Virgil's The Aeneid, the legend of the Cyclops may have some origin in fact. It has been surmised that the discovery of elephant skulls by primitive people led to the creation of the myth – the hole for the nasal cavity (supporting the trunk) is enormous and could easily lead to misidentification as the crater for a single eye.
Hailing from five interconnected novels written in the 16th century by French author Francois Rabelais, Gargantua and Pantagruel are father and son, respectively. The books are written in the style of lewd satire, full of explicit language and bathroom humor, which was all the more vile given the religious prudery of the day. These giants do not conform to any particular size; indeed their height varies dramatically throughout the series to facilitate elements of the plot. Despite the questionable subject matter, these books are still hugely popular today, being taught in many universities as one of the cornerstones of modern literature.
Often the first concept of a giant children are exposed to, nearly everyone knows the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. The story's origin is somewhat murky, with some scholars pointing to early Norse tales. There are dozens of different versions of the story, but most include Jack climbing a magic beanstalk to steal golden treasure and, eventually, murder the giant that lives at the top, thus living happily ever after. Taken at face value, the story doesn't exactly paint Jack in the best light, but the giant doesn't seem like any kind of great guy either – he mentions smelling Jack's blood and promises to feast on his flesh.
The Bigfoot, or the Sasquatch, is somewhat different than the other entries on this list – he is considered a cryptic, an animal which might exist but for which little to no scientific evidence exists. Described as 'ape-like', this 'missing link' stands well over six feet tall, prowling the wilds of America, particularly the Pacific Northwest. Often the only clue left behind by the Bigfoot are the enormous impressions of his feet, many of which – if they are fake – are extremely realistic hoaxes. The most famous evidence of Bigfoot's existence is a snippet of footage shot in the forest of Bluff Creek, California, in 1967. The dimensions and locomotion of the creature featured therein are compelling, but to this day there is no solid proof that Bigfoot exists.
According to Norse mythology, Jotunheim is one of the Nine Worlds (other ones include Earth, for humans, and Asgard, for the gods). Jotunheim is the land of the giants. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes heinously ugly and disfigured, the giants often stand in opposition to mortals and gods, and can be destructive. Indeed, fire giants are seen as having an integral role in the Ragnarok apocalypse. Thor, in particular, is shown as slaying many giants, although he lets lust take over and at least once fathers a half giant offspring. Loki and Odin also have half giant children.
First documented in the stories of American journalist James McGillivray, and probably based on earlier tales bandied about by French-Canadians, Paul Bunyan is a giant lumberjack. A larger than life character in the tradition of many such tall tales, Paul played a role in various creation myths, such as dragging his axe behind him to cleave out the Grand Canyon. Bunyan is always accompanied by his pet, a blue ox named Babe, of equal enormity. Giant statues of Paul and Babe have become a roadside staple in dozens of towns around America.
The monster, which remains nameless throughout Mary Shelley's gothic masterpiece, is described as being eight feet tall and clad in transparent yellow skin, hideous beyond comprehension. Victor Frankenstein tacks his beast together out of spare parts taken from graveyards and slaughterhouses, and he is forced to make it huge because of the inherent difficulty of replicating the tiny, intricate parts of the human body. The subject of banishment and horror, the monster floats off into the Arctic wasteland at the end of the tale, promising to throw itself on a pyre and commit suicide.
The mascot of the Green Giant vegetable company (a subsidiary of General Mills), the Jolly Green Giant has been the subject of innumerable television commercials, concluding with his trademark "Ho ho ho." Upon his debut in 1928, the giant was a stooped, menacing creature, but subsequent versions have been increasingly genial, adopting a frock of leaves and an always present grin.
There is some debate regarding the existence of Robin Hood and his band of merry men, the most massive of whom was the legendary Little John. Most stories indicate he was at least seven feet tall, which would have been more massive by far than any of his 13th century countrymen. He seemed to have encountered Robin one day in Sherwood Forest, where they did battle on a narrow bridge. Little John knocked Robin into the river and thereupon decided to join up with the group. He was Robin's chief lieutenant, often coming to the rescue in situations of great peril, and was the only one of the merry men at Robin Hood's side when he died.
Arguably the most famous of all giants, Goliath was a massive Philistine warrior who faced off against the Israelite army in the Valley of Elah. Offering to defeat any Israeli in one-on-one combat, Goliath was rebuffed, until the challenge was taken up by young David. Eschewing armor, the smaller combatant knocked Goliath down with a stone hurled from his sling and then chopped off his head, securing victory for the Israelites and proving himself, by his valor and faith in God, to be the one true king. Little more is said of Goliath, and his height is somewhat debatable; some accounts place it in the 6"9 area and others put him at nearly 10 feet.

TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys
There is no other way to lead a recap of Sunday's games than with a discussion of Doug Martin's effort. I spent the week talking about how the loss of the best guard in football may have an impact on this line (lets give Tampa's o-line some credit, too) and the run game. Martin and his teammates proved me wrong on game day. Oakland fought valiantly to stay in this game, but, Martin's 2nd half response to their scores was unequivocal. He was not going to let Tampa lose this game, his response to Oakland's methodical, 12 play drives to try to get back into the games was – more than once – to slam the door shut with a 60+ yard score… an impressive effort, one which we all need to take notice of.

And, for years, we've joked that BOSE is "better sound through marketing."
But, now BOSE has joined forces with companies like JBL, Bosch, Shure, Yamaha and Peavey, albeit indirectly, with its new partnership with Audinate to license the company's Dante patented media networking technology. In case you've paid ZERO attention to the dozens of times we've written about and explained Audinate, it has patented the way that AV systems are connected and transport media over standard IT networks, calling it Dante. Over 80 companies have licensed it and it's a who's who in ProAV - besides all the above companies mentioned, it includes audio and video powerhouses like Extron, MediaMatrix, PreSonus, Soundcraft, Stewart Audio, Harman, Inter-M, Lectrosonics, Ashley, Digico and 70 other companies that have all decided to incorporate it as a networking AV standard. Dante is a killer technology - I stake my reputation on that as I've personally evaluated it.
Dante is built on IT standards, and is a complete media networking solution. Truth is (and this isn't marketing-speak), Dante delivers low-latency, tightly synchronized, sample-accurate playback, while simplifying installation and configuration of AV networks.
And, this BOSE deal means it will become a household name in a matter of time - much like THX did in the 1990s. Mark my words - May 22, 2013.
If you don't understand AV over a network, let me attempt to explain (with thanks to Audinate, technically):
In the old analog universe of sources (e.g., RCA line audio, composite video, etc), a key element of the system is that the logical and physical connections were one and the same. This means that most connections were point-to-point and individual cables represent each channel - sort of a "connect everything to a home-run switcher to manage all sources and switch them to the display or speakers" situation. Implementing a complex audio system required careful design that had to be undertaken in advance and a lot of converter, interface and standards boxes had to be used whenever one signal wasn't compatible with another. In other words, if you wanted to connect an s-video signal to a projector that only had component video inputs you'd have to convert that signal.
And, analog audio required a physical copper cable for routing signals, but these systems offer little flexibility to accommodate unplanned changes. Moving or adding equipment in a location will add significant costs as AV system integrators need to run separate conduits for signals of differing voltages and pull heavy copper wire through them. We all agree with that, right?
Well, digital media distribution significantly reduces implementation by separating the logical and physical connection attributes of the AV system. Thus, doing a digital network can offer significant costs saving in time and money, while providing better performance than analog wiring. Digital audio distribution eliminates masses of bulky, heavy, expensive and inflexible copper wires. Installation is made simple using digital networking; a single lightweight, inexpensive CAT5 cable can carry all the required inputs and outputs as digital audio data.
IP (Internet Protocol) over Ethernet is the most widely deployed approach to networking and represents the best available foundation technology for media networking. Cat5 cables, switches and other hardware components used to build such networks are mass-market items in the IT domain.
Audinate's patent-pending Dante technology is a flexible Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet-based digital AV network technology that eliminates the many bulky cables needed to provide point-to-point wiring for analog AV installations.
With Dante, existing infrastructure can be used for high performance audio as well as for ordinary control, monitoring or business data traffic. Digital networks utilize standard Ethernet over IP offering high bandwidth capable of transporting hundreds of high quality channels over 100MBs or 1 Gigabit Ethernet.
Set-up and configuring the system is made easy as well, saving enormous installation costs and long term cost of ownership on a digital network. The physical connecting point is irrelevant: Audio signals can be made available anywhere and everywhere. Patching and routing now become logical functions configured in software, not via physical wired links.
Dante delivers a no hassle, self configuring, true plug-and-play digital audio network that uses standard Internet Protocols over 100Mb and/or Gigabit Ethernet. Dante technology distributes digital audio plus integrated control data with sub millisecond latency, sample-accurate playback synchronization, extreme reliability and high channel counts.
This may sound like a Dante commercial, but, no dice -- they aren't an advertiser or sponsor of rAVe! I am writing this because I believe in the technology AND KNOW it will become the default-audio standard for networking. Just you wait, the other manufacturers who haven't adopted it -- it will.
What about AVB? Audio Video Bridging (AVB) is a common name for the set of technical standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Audio Video Bridging Task Group of the IEEE 802.1 standards committee. The charter of this organization is to "provide the specifications that will allow time-synchronized low latency streaming services through IEEE 802 networks."
Well, guess what? Dante will integrate AVB protocols, so they'll be interchangeable. Audinate has announced that Dante will be AVB-compliant as these standards are ratified, and is a Promoter Member of AVnu, an industry group that seeks to promote these new standards. Add a comment
Fast forward two years and now it comes in three models. The "high-end" $249 version includes 802.11abgn networking, has the capability to do multi-party calling (up to 25 people at a time) and delivers 720p video on both ends of the call (via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet.
Sure, it still sits on top of a TV, but now these features, along with a new wireless keyboard, a separate table-top microphone and clearly aiming itself at the videoconferencing market, Biscotti has to be bugging the heck out of companies like Polycom and Cisco. And, to top it off, they've now added XMPP and SIP. What's next? Skype compatibility?
Basically, what Biscotti is giving you is a glimpse into the future. Sure, it lacks a lot of the heavy-duty features of most professional VTC systems, but what it does do is show you how simple it is to take videoconferencing to the cloud. Basically, Biscotti is just a camera (5MP), mic and network connection to the Internet. Most of the codec functions are happening in the cloud through the company's servers. That's why it's so cheap ($150 - $250) with unlimited calling for a $25 per month plan (or free if you use less than 40 minutes a month on multi-party calls and all one-on-one calls are totally free). And, since it's completely in the cloud, they actually automatically record every VTC call for you and store it up to 30 days. Plus, you can then move the call to YouTube or download it at your convenience after that.
Now the company has officially decided the business videoconferencing market is something it wants a piece of. It's even launched a Biscotti for business site - here' a video that explains how it works: http://www.biscotti.com/business. If I were you, I'd go there and watch the two-minute video.
So, should the commercial VTC market be worried? Well, maybe a little. Biscotti is a small company and it's brand new technology. In fact, I'm betting one of the big boys of videoconferencing is already making a play to buy them. Or, if they aren't, they should.
It's only $150 for the home version. Oh, and by the way, that $150 one can handle connecting up to 25 people together on one screen, too, as long as you don't spend more than 40 minutes a month doing it -- or you'll have to pay the $25 per month fee. Why not buy one and try it? I think once you have, you'll see that this might not just be a thorn on the VTC market side -- it might be more like a stake.
For the past 20 years, projection has been the driver of our industry's engine. And, the future of projection is bright -- literally. Pico projectors are now above 500 ANSI lumens (and will be over 1000 by this time next year), projection used in digital signage was up nearly 200 percent in 2012 and, there's a game-changing technology coming to projection later this year!
Yes, I'll be speaking at this year's Projection Summit (it's all about multi-projection -- and wireless tech) but, don't come for me. Speaker include a who's who of display, including a 4K session from Sony, a GreenAV session headlined by Mitsubishi, Panasonic and Optoma, a 3D projection session with Real D (THE 3D company 90 percent of theaters use) and a laser session led by laser manufacturers themselves - this is the tech of the future!
And, 100 percent of it will affect the future of AV. All of it.

So, what's their epiphany?
They need to sell stuff more like Apple does. They need their own retail stores.
LG has, as they nearly always do, decided to copy Samsung's recent expansion into Best Buy with their own "store-within-a-store" concept. And, this past week, the Wall Street Journal reported that they will also build more of their own stores around the world - stores that will exclusively sell LG gear. Sony's online presence is obvious with their popular SonyStyle.com site, but now they're getting into the retail spirit with more 3D demo centers and they are reported to be looking into expanding their mall-based branded stores. Microsoft's stores not only decided to copy Apple's strategy, but apparently used the same designer because their stores look like Apple clones.
Come on! Seriously! Look, just because Apple is successful in retail, doesn't mean they will be too.
Sure, Apple's stores have a clean, hip-like feel to them. You almost feel as though being a nerd is cool when you walk into one.
But, truth be told, it isn't the store that's selling gear. It's the gear that's selling the gear.
Microsoft, you blew it. You tablet is, well, like Windows on a touch screen. It's not user-friendly; it's like you are desperately trying to convince people that it's ok to jury-rig an OS and force it to work via a touch-screen. It's stupid. Your phone OS is cool, however. But, you're late to the phone game, so you've got a long way to go. Go back to the drawing board with the Surface.
Sony, you've made it so dang hard to buy your stuff. When I go to Best Buy and ask about a Sony HandiCam, they quickly tell me why I shouldn't buy one and try to either convince me I need to mount a GoPro to my head or take a look at the new line of JVC cameras. Check it out yourself. Go to a Best Buy this week and see. And, as for your TVs, they are being used to sell Samsung TVs. Bait and switch.
Sharp - what the heck happened to you? You had the best HDTVs on the market seven years ago, five years ago, three years ago and even two years ago. Now, not only does the image quality of nearly every Samsung TV look better, but they are way, way more aesthetically pleasing. Your TVs look like they did five years ago - like a thin, black box. Heck, even VIZIO's look better.
LG - you need to hope Samsung slips up. You're always going to be a follower to them. You're that other Korean company to most of us.
Where's the innovation? Maybe I'm giving Samsung too much credit as, in reality, they need to be thanking Google - their adoption of the Android platform for their phones and tablets was timing at its best. Kudos for that. But, they do deserve props for their SmartTV branding as it was marketing genius. They hijacked a term that everyone uses to describe a connected (to the Internet) TV.
But, none of you need your own retail stores to be successful. You need innovation, creativity and you need to listen to what the customers are asking for - and give it to them.
Yes, Sony, you need to seriously fix the relationship with Best Buy. I'm not sure who you've apparently pissed-off over there in Minneapolis, but you need to get that hole plugged because they're trying as hard as they can to not sell you.
But, short of that, you need to think outside the box. Here are some helpful facts that might help you catch up with, or maybe even leapfrog Apple:
1. People hate cable TV. Not watching TV -- people love watching TV. But they hate having it delivered to them by a cable TV or satellite company (and hate being forced to buy a "package" of channels when they only watch 10 of them). If you ask a hundred people, 95 of them would likely tell you they want to pick and choose TV shows they want to watch and pay a-la-carte. You want to innovate, fix that problem. And, for those of you who are stuck in hardware mode and thinking that this issue is one for Hollywood to fix, think again. Remember, Apple's iTunes Store sold all those iPods, not the iPod itself.
2. Mobile Entertainment. We want to watch stuff, seamlessly, anywhere. We want to be able to start watching a TV show in the living room, continue watching it on a tablet as we brush our teeth for bed and finish watching it in bed. The devices should communicate with each other so we don't have to tell the show where to start and stop as we switch devices.
3. Simplicity. Apple doesn't ship a user's manual with anything they sell. They want you to figure out how to use it on your own - they designed the product this way - so that even a kid can use it. Most of you out there have gear that's so complicated to use, you have to include a manual -- in four languages. Figure out how to stop that. If it's so complicated to use, redesign it not to be. Samsung, here's where you need help. The user-interface design of the Smart TV is, well, horrible. It's way, way too cluttered and the gesture control is pathetic.
4. Aesthetics. Well, this one's aimed at Microsoft (and Sharp). With all that money, you can't design something that doesn't look cool? Your stuff is, well, UGLY. Both of you. Even Target hired a professional designer for their $15 kitchen utensils. Can't you hire one for $1,000 TVs and $800 tablets? There are ways to make the shape of a rectangle look appealing (see: Apple).
I could go on and on. And, I suspect many of you out there reading this have all sorts of ideas too. Please feel free to post yours below. But, point is, opening your own store isn't the one and only solution.
Oh, by the way, my mention of Target isn't by accident. They are the coolest discount retailer in the world. Everyone -- LG, Sony, Sharp and Samsung -- all seem to be hung up on Best Buy. I'd take a serious look at Target as a partner. They don't attract the Wal-Mart crowd (so it's a higher-end clientele) and they have plenty of space for consumer electronics store-within-a-store concept. But, that's only after you've fixed your gear.
I am writing to you to ask for your help. We are on a mission to make this year's InfoComm show the highest attended AV show, ever. And, there's no reason that it can't be.
Why do we care?
Well, at rAVe we spend a lot of time and money carefully tracking the industry trends, product impact, technological movements and the communication between people in AV. And, we've noticed a shift. And, a good one.
But, as timing has it, the shift of a giant wave of growth and expansion in AV happens to be timed (based on all our research and our knowledge-base) to happen this Fall. So?
Well, right now -- and heading into InfoComm -- that means that your boss, your manager and the owners of the big AV integration firms, design consulting firm partners, digital signage dealers and AV manufacturers are all moving very timidly. But, they don't see what we see. We are focused on ALL aspects of AV - not just the segment of the market they are in; you are in. We are seeing a shift -- and it's a good one. And, it's coming. But, the great majority of the shift will occur this fall -- well past InfoComm.
But, unfortunately those same leaders (your bosses) may not see it by the time they have to approve YOU attending InfoComm -- a show that ALL of you reading this NEED to attend.
So, we're going to try and HELP you convince them. Over the next few months through our writing, we'll point to specific trends that bode well for the health of the VA market and, especially, the positive shift we see this fall. And, you can watch for these articles and point them out to your manager, your boss, your owner -- your decision maker.
In the meantime, one BIG thing (and very simple step you can take) is to click here: http://bit.ly/13wYHNv and register for InfoComm using the code: MCTRA
Prepare to be there. Register for InfoComm NOW!
Add a commentBut, we got rid of it.
Why? Well, the truth is, free job listings have no incentive. The manufacturers or integrator lists a job, but once it's filled, there's no incentive to tell us and have us take it down. So, the job lived there even if it wasn't available. That's the same complaint everyone has about all the other job boards. And, with little or no management capability from the job poster, there was no way for them (the manufacturer or integrator looking to hire someone) had no way to track their listing.
Not any more.
We've spent four months launching a new service called rAVe Audio Visual Jobs: http://bit.ly/WJiWT3
It's new, brand new. And, we're looking for BOTH job seekers and companies looking to hire!
As a job seeker, you can upload your resume (or CV) and let people know you are available. You can do it as yourself, or anonymously!
As a company looking to hire, you can post a job that's available and tell the industry you are looking to hire.
For those looking to hire, we have a 90-day free trial for you to try it out risk-free. After that, we will start to charge you (but, you will like the quality of this so much, we think you'll pay). We get detailed reporting on what's going on. You job isn't just listed, it's tracked, managed and reported back to you...
Try it out - after you do, we're convinced this will be THE ONLY job board in AV within a year! And, you'll see why! Add a comment
But, as the saying goes, better late then never.
This year's Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) Expo Jan. 29 - 31, was, in a word, AWESOME.
And, kudos is in order for a host of people who made that show what it really was -- the world's largest AV show with a total attendance of more than 44,000 attendees.
For those of you who aren't familiar with ISE, imagine if InfoComm partnered with CEDIA and co-hosted their shows together - that's ISE. In fact, LITERALLY, that's what it is. Some 10 years or so ago, CEDIA and InfoComm got together and decided to do a show together that hosted both HomeAV and ProAV gear all in one place. And after stops in Belgium and a debut show in Switzerland, the show settled in Amsterdam - where it's going to stay at least through 2019.
Enter Michael Blackman. Now the managing director of Integrated Systems Events (the official name for Integrated Systems Europe's planning organization), Michael has been at the helm of ISE since its first year - 10 years ago - in Geneva, Switzerland, where the show attracted 120 exhibitors and just under 3,500 attendees. He's overseen it's growth and, more importantly, assembled a team that is simply amazing. Congratulations!!
But, as I said earlier, he's got a team behind him that deserves to be recognized, too. His press and marketing guru is a guy by the name of Dan Goldstein. You may know him as the guy you always see wearing bow ties and is likely the best dressed guy at both InfoComm and ISE. He's made it easy for the press to cover the show by giving us all stands on the show floor as well as giving us access to just about anything you'd need to cover a show. Thanks, Dan! And, finally, two others I persoanlly worked with to help organize our coverage of the ISE 2013 show, Danielle Inostroza and Stefanie Hanel -- two amazing women who seem to know every exhibitor by heart and who make participating fun and easy. Thank you!!
This year's show occupied 14 halls of the Amsterdam RAI convention center and not only had 44,161 attendees, but also had over 900 exhibitors and nearly 1,000 new product launches over the three day event. Michael has overseen flawless growth and has established the ISE show as the perfect European AV tradeshow. We covered the show with a custom MicroSite where you can watch all the videos we recorded, read all the blogs we wrote and see all the photos we to: http://www.rAVeNOWise.com
Kudos to all four of you and to the rest of the Integrated Systems Events team! Add a comment
At NAB, they'll demo that capability by showing movie footage in all sorts of frame rates. In addition, they'll have a 4K demo as well as show some new products in the U.S. for the first time. Watch this video so you'll be ready for what Christie's going to launch at NAB on April 8-11 in Las Vegas:

STEP was envisioned to encompass all low-voltage building and communication technologies into a phase-by-phase, sustainable deployment process. STEP not only accounts for the ongoing energy consumption of information technology systems but also for the reduction of raw materials in the deployment of information technology solutions and indoor environmental quality of technology-rich environments. STEP also encourages the use of information technologies to make buildings smarter and reduce paper consumption, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with travel.
I spoke to InfoComm's STEP Foundation director, Allen Weidman, and he told me, "The STEP Foundation remains strong, despite the departure of one of its supporting members. CCCA, COMPTIA, InfoComm and TIA are strongly committed to continuing the mission of the STEP Foundation and advancing the mission of promoting sustainability in the built-environment.
The Foundation is grateful for the valuable contributions made by BICSI in the early years of the organization and we will continue to work with BICSI members and staff to find common points of interest and mutual support to help advance a smart and sustainable Information Communications Technology (ICT) industry."
And, in reality, with the convergence of AV and IT, the support of COMPTIA is way more important than BICSI. I'd like to have seen BICSI continue to support STEP, but we respect its decision.
Below is the letter that BICSI sent to its members regarding STEP:
Dear BICSI Members,
In November of 2011, BICSI's Board of Directors voted to become a Sustaining Member of the Sustainable Technologies Environment Program (STEP™) Foundation. At that time BICSI joined InfoComm, CompTIA, and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) as Sustaining Members in STEP. In 2012 the Communications Cable & Connectivity Association (CCCA) also joined STEP as a Supporting Member. Becoming a member of STEP was a continuation of BICSI's effort to leverage the increasing focus on sustainability that we began with the Green Building Technology Alliance, and had the promise of enabling BICSI to add programs, publications and services to our educational and credentialing portfolio.
The original STEP Foundation concept was a fairly simple one. Its Mission was to bring sustainability to the process of planning, designing, integrating and operating technology systems, as well as to reduce the long-term environmental impact from technology deployment. The fulcrum of STEP would be a STEP sustainability rating system, and STEP membership would require a manageable start-up investment by BICSI.
Over the past months the STEP Board of Directors has been involved in a series of long term strategic planning activities. During this process it has become evident to us that STEP's direction was changing and the new direction was significantly different from the original STEP concept and not consistent with our BICSI sustainability vision and not in the best interest of our members. Given these differing visions the BICSI Board voted during the Winter Conference to have BICSI withdraw from the STEP Foundation, effective immediately. Our partner associations in STEP have been notified. Although BICSI will no longer be a STEP member, early indications are that BICSI's withdrawal from STEP will not hurt our relationships with InfoComm, TIA, CompTIA and CCCA, and we intend to continue working with them in the future.
With our STEP withdrawal I have also suspended activity of the STEP Committee until we have a new direction for our sustainability efforts. Brian Hansen and the STEP Committee have worked very hard, and I wanted to express my personal thanks for Brian's leadership and the exemplary way he has represented BICSI on the STEP Board of Directors.
In the interim I have appointed U.S. Western Region Director Larry Gillen, RCDD, ESS, OSP, CTS, to head up a BICSI Sustainability Task Force, with the mission of exploring options that will enable BICSI to continue to provide industry leadership in the sustainability arena. I will provide updates on these efforts as they emerge.
More as I know it.

In explaining the decision to their channel, SMART said, "This decision was made based on how SMART can best utilize our budget and resources to deliver the best programs to you in 2013."
Unlike Extron, who also pulled out of the U.S. InfoComm show, SMART's leadership role in the interactive whiteboard market isn't increasing; it's declining. In fact, about 20 percent of classroom and meeting room projectors sold now are pre-integrated with built-in interactivity.
Here's a copy of the letter that went out this morning to their sales channel:
Dear valued channel member,
I am writing to advise you that SMART will not be exhibiting at InfoComm 2013 in Orlando, Florida. This decision was made based on how SMART can best utilize our budget and resources to deliver the best programs to you in 2013. We look forward to sharing these plans with you throughout the year.

It has become clear to me that if there is a Lib Dem meeting with food then something is going wrong if there's nothing spicy on the menu! This was clearly true for the Putney Spicy Politics session with fantastic food home cooked by local member Ushma Williams (the spicy lamb kebabs were the best I have ever had!). Along with the great food it was good to have a lively discussion with Andrew Stunell, MP for Hazel Grove.
Andrew talked on a variety of things ranging from his time as one of the negotiators during the formation of the coalition agreement through to his time as an ex-minister; it was only earlier that day that he had been reshuffled out of government. One of the big points that was talked about was the announcement about the homes expansions and the removal of local planning consent. Housing is often a contentious issue, with many people saying that they wanted more homes for their children or grandchildren to live in, but didn't want to see those new homes being built in their area. The idea of the change to planning consent was to open this conundrum up to the community so that now it is up to the community to say what goes where, not the council's planning department. The added impact that this will have in the short term on jobs and growth, giving an immediate boost to the economy will also be much appreciated at the moment.
After the meeting I had a chat with Andrew to find out how he managed to get so much Lib Dem policy into the coalition agreement, policies which have or will be enacted seeing the Lib Dems achieving over three quarters of their manifesto committments. He told me, when you enter negotiations with a desperate man you hold all the winning cards. David Cameron had been expected to win the General Election, and win it comfortably. When the poll turned out to not go in his favour he was desperate to make sure he entered government and was willing to move on a number of issues. Hence why as Mark Pack points out 75% of our manifesto is in the coalition agreement!
