Lorna Bieber Images: Found and Lost
Lorna Bieber:
Images: Found and Lost
Photographs are forever engaged in the cyclical process of being lost and found. They are placeholders, indexical by their compositional referents as well as their keepers – their meaning continually altered by their context and viewers.
Artist Lorna Bieber seeks to find such "lost" photographs, those sandwiched amidst others in guidebooks, newspapers, brochures, training manuals, and textbooks. More illustrative than artistic in intent, the stock images she chooses depict cooler, coniferous biomes. In this series, images feature birds, trees, flowers, rocks, and other referents – environments resembling those visited and inhabited by Bieber. Whether or not we have experienced these places first-hand or in other mediated ways, the images she selects and manipulates are nostalgic journeys in time and space to environments that feel like we have been to before.
After finding an image, the Bieber intuitively engages abstraction to release its new meaning. In no particular order, she selects an area of each image to focus on, crops, enlarges, sketches or paints on it, re-photographs it, scans, or photocopies it. Each image is further photographed on film, printed on gelatin silver paper, and mounted. The process of reproduction elicits an alternate reality that is both "real" and manipulated.
The assemblage of images in the large-scale montages has cinematic storytelling qualities. We are called to engage in the cerebral exercise of recognizing similar pictures from the grid and then linking them together to form narratives. The series recollects English photographer Edweard Muybridge's 1878 groundbreaking locomotion project, in which a series of stereoscopic images placed into a circular hand-crank viewing machine animated a galloping horse. Bieber's kaleidoscopic montages are post-modern incarnations of early cinematic photographs like Muybridge's; without the aid of optical magic lanterns to define a beginning, an end, and the connections between, we create our own fractured narratives in isolation.
Trained as a painter, Bieber studied at Boston University, Goddard College in Vermont, and Kent State University. She began working with appropriation and alternative photographic processes in 1988 from her studio on Broadway in New York, where she continues to create. Her work is in numerous public and private collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Fogg Art Museum.

the review, i havent heard anything from it
I don't mind the vocals when he's really belting it out, it's actually more when he's taking it easy like on the verse in Here, It's Over (listening to Promo 1 vid). Still going to listen to the album though, as the music sounds good.
Album art is kinda lulzy

Dude almost all prog art is crap
It just looks like they've taken elements from like 10 different DT albums (or any other prog rock/metal outfit)
A Willie review! Nice read sir. Digging: Covenant - Leaving Babylon
Digging: Covenant - Leaving Babylon
Album Rating: 4.0Yeah. My reviews have slowed down alot because I just don't have the time. I have a few half finished reviews, but as soon as the release date is a week over-due I lose interest. This review just seemed to flow out, though.
Album Rating: 3.5"Driving Home" sounded pretty good. The keyboards in the intro were awesome. Is there more of that? Was kind of disappointed that they didn't play a bigger role throughout. The whole intro was probably the most enjoyable part of the song actually. The singer is just alright. The verses are cool, but I didn't really like the chorus, especially those backing vocals. I'll check this out when it's released. New melodic prog metal isn't a bad thing.
Album Rating: 4.0There's more of everything that was on "Driving Home" just in varying amounts. The keyboards play a larger role on some songs and lesser role on others. I'm not trying to be a smartass, it's just the answer ;) The vocalist will probably be a sticking point for some, but I like Voivod and Mudvayne so other than a few random moments, his vocals are just fine.

Book Description:The first book to explore Stanley Kubrick's archives and the most comprehensive study of the filmmaker to date, divided into 2 parts.Part 1: The films In 1968, when Stanley Kubrick was asked to comment on the metaphysical significance of 2001: A Space Odyssey, he replied: It s not a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experience.... I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. The philosophy behind Part 1 borrows from this line of thinking: from the opening sequence of Killer s Kiss to the final frames of Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick s complete films will be presented chronologically and wordlessly via frame enlargements. A completely nonverbal experience. Part 2: The Creative Process Divided into chapters chronologically by film, Part 2 brings to life the creative process of Kubrick s filmmaking by presenting a remarkable collection of material from his archives, including photographs, props, posters, artwork, set designs, sketches, correspondence, documents, screenplays, drafts, notes, and shooting schedules. Accompanying the visual material are essays by noted Kubrick scholars, articles written by and about Kubrick, and a selection of Kubrick s best interviews. Special features Part 1 features 800 film stills scanned directly from the original prints and interpositives Part 2 presents about 800 items from the archives, most of which have never been published before essays by Kubrick scholars Gene D. Phillips, Michel Ciment, and Rodney Hill selected articles and essays, including interviews with and essays by Stanley Kubrick illustrated Kubrick chronology

In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin (Large Print)by Erik Larson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"Larson is a marvelous writer...superb at creating characters with a few short strokes."—New York Times Book Review
Erik Larson has been widely acclaimed as a master of narrative non-fiction, and in his new book, the bestselling author of Devil in the White City turns his hand to a remarkable story set during Hitler's rise to power. The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history. A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the "New Germany," she has one affair after another, including with the suprisingly honorable first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels. But as evidence of Jewish persecution mounts, confirmed by chilling first-person testimony, her father telegraphs his concerns to a largely indifferent State Department back home. Dodd watches with alarm as Jews are attacked, the press is censored, and drafts of frightening new laws begin to circulate. As that first year unfolds and the shadows deepen, the Dodds experience days full of excitement, intrigue, romance—and ultimately, horror, when a climactic spasm of violence and murder reveals Hitler's true character and ruthless ambition. Suffused with the tense atmosphere of the period, and with unforgettable portraits of the bizarre Göring and the expectedly charming--yet wholly sinister--Goebbels, In the Garden of Beasts lends a stunning, eyewitness perspective on events as they unfold in real time, revealing an era of surprising nuance and complexity. The result is a dazzling, addictively readable work that speaks volumes about why the world did not recognize the grave threat posed by Hitler until Berlin, and Europe, were awash in blood and terror. About the AuthorERIK LARSON is the author of the national bestsellers Thunderstruck, The Devil in the White City, and Isaac's Storm. ErikLarsonBooks.com

Honora Dillon was born to James and Honora (Liddy) Dillon on July 28, 1849 in West Brookfield. She was the fifth of nine known children, and the first to be born in the United States. Her older siblings were born in County Galway, Ireland, and so, most likely were her parents.
Honora married Edward Slawson in May of 1870 and lived in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania at the time of the 1870 United States Census. A son Robert D. Slawson was born in Pennsylvania in February 1872. Sometime between 1880 and 1900 Edward Slawson died. Honora lived in Easton, PA probably until her son was married and then returned to West Brookfield for a time. She was enumerated in Chicago with her sister Mary in the 1910 census. Honora returned to Pennsylvania sometime between 1910 and 1920 and lived in Wilson with her sister Mary. Mary died sometime after 1926, and Honora died in July of 1936.
The Easton Area Public Library has an index of newspaper death notices and obituaries which are on microfilm there. I know from the index that there are newspaper notices for Honora Dillon Slawson, on July 23 and July 25, 1936. Mary Dillon on Oct. 22 and 24 of 1930, and Robert D. Slawson on Oct. 14,16, and 18th of 1909. The library will send copies of these notices for a fee of $5 each plus a SASE. There is no way to know ahead of time what information is contained in these notices.
The index can be found online at http://www.eastonpl.org/obituary_index.htm and there is a link to a downloadable request form.
Robert Slawson, an electrician, died in East Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Oct. 13, 1909 leaving his wife Sue and two children. Sue raised the children in Warren County, New Jersey.
I have more information on the family of James and Honora (Liddy) Dillon, and a family contact as well. I can share what I have if you click on the "Information Request Form" tab at the top of the blog, fill in the name of the person you have an interest in and your contact info, and submit.

By Hounds PR | 7/17/13 9:40 PM
Team 24/7 Lacrosse this past weekend hosted the Major League Lacrosse All-Star Game Youth Tournament in Charlotte, NC. The youth tournament featured 36 teams from across the country competing for championships at the U11, U13 and U15 levels. During the first day of competition on Saturday, the MLL All-Stars came out to the tournament to help coach, sign autographs and take pictures with the kids. "Having the All Stars out here, and the kids being able to get coached and goof around with them was awesome," said Top Left Loggerheads Director Tom Harris. "They don't get to do that a lot."
The U11 Championship featured the Top Left Loggerheads out of Charleston, S.C., and the Fort Mill Fury out of Fort Mill, S.C. The Fury controlled the game from the get go, putting up six goals before the Loggerheads were able to get on the board late in the second half. It would be the only goal scored by the team though, and the Fury added another tally in the game's final minute to secure a 7-1 victory.
The U13 Championship saw Valley Select Black out of Roanoke, VA, face off against the Old North State Cavs out of Greesnboro, N.C. The game was back-and-forth and locked at 3 all before the Cavs put together a three-goal run to pull ahead 6-3. But Valley responded with a four-goal run of its own to take a 7-6 advantage in to the half. The momentum stayed with Valley as they opened the second half with back to back tallies to extend their lead to 9-6. The Cavs were able to pull back within one, 9-8, but Valley went on another three-goal run to move comfortably ahead 12-8. The Cavs scored one more goal, but Valley matched it to take a 13-9 victory.
The U15 Championship also featured the Top Left Loggerheads, who were matched against Low And Away Lacrosse, the Pittsburgh-based program run by MLL All-Star Peet Poillon. The Loggerheads got on the board first, but Low And Away quickly responded with a goal of their own to tie to the game at 1-1. The Loggerheads tallied two straight to move ahead 3-1 before Low And Away scored to cut the lead back down to one, 3-2. However, that would be the last goal of the game for Low And Away. The Loggerheads notched one more goal in the closing minute of the first half, then shut out Low And Away in the second half while putting up another five goals of their own to cruise to a 10-2 victory.
All of the weekend's games were held at Elon Park in Charlotte. Harris after the tournament said, "They had great facilities, it well run and we had a good time. We'd definitely come back for another event like this."
Teams will have the opportunity to return to the Queen City and face some of the South's best this fall, as Team 24/7 Lacrosse has announced it will host The Team 24/7 Lacrosse Fall Throwdown the weekend of Oct. 19-20. The Fall Throwdown will be open to 48 teams at the U11, U13 and U15 levels. All teams will play five games over the course of two days in a championship format. All games will be held at the Mecklenburg Sportsplex in Charlotte, and each participant will receive a free T-shirt and admission to the Team 24/7 Lacrosse Clinic with MLL All-Star Ryan Flanagan of the Charlotte Hounds. To register for the 2013 Team 24/7 Lacrosse Fall Throwdown Tournament please visit www.Team247Lax.com.

Nicholas Lemann was named dean of the Columbia School of Journalism in 2003. It's too soon to tell whether he is making Columbia a stronger school. It's not too soon to say that Lemann, the author of two good books and many compelling articles, has made himself a weaker writer. Evidence of this decline comes in the current New Yorker, where Lemann devotes 5,000 words to asking, "Why is everyone mad at the mainstream media?" without saying anything clear or consequential in response.
Lemann does give us this scoop: the "heads of several large news organizations...insisted that they try to present the news without bias." Lemann's interviews with these editors are devoted to addressing "the question of how, if the reality is what the editors say it is, the perception can be so different." Their surprising take on this anomaly? It's not our fault. We try so hard to do the right thing, and no one appreciates our contribution, or the difficulties we face. Our critics are mean, they don't care about the facts, they have this hysterical determination to find bias in the most innocuous places, and they've been brainwashed to hate us by cynics and zealots. Don Wycliff of the Chicago Tribune observes that the conservative critics of the mainstream media "do not have the governors on their behavior that we have in our industry. We may be liberals, but we have ideals of objectivity to which we aspire."
It would be interesting to learn whether Wycliff thinks that Dan Rather and Mary Mapes were aspiring to the ideal of objectivity when CBS aired its story about George Bush's National Guard service. Lemann never asks. No reporter for the Columbia student newspaper would turn in a feature story about media bias and the 2004 election without at least mentioning Memo-gate. But the dean of the Columbia J-school did.
Instead of racing across town to cover that five-alarm fire, Lemann prefers to remain seated, notebook open, until the meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary Committee on Parks and Beautification is adjourned. The editors he speaks with plead guilty to misdemeanors, journalistic transgressions one step up from spelling mistakes. The mainstream media "failed to appreciate fully the dimensions of the Republican organizing effort." They "misunderstood the way that the Republican Party's religious base lives and thinks," and now feel an "anthropological" duty to acquaint themselves with this surprisingly large tribe. Bill Keller, the executive editor of the New York Times, concedes more than his peers. Conservatives, he says, don't always "see their ideas taken seriously or treated respectfully" in the mainstream press, and "it's bad journalism to caricature anyone with reductionist portraits and crude shorthand."
Lemann himself offers the opinion that, "Conservatives are relativists when it comes to the press. In their view, nothing is neutral: there is no disinterested version of the news; everything reflects politics and relationships to power and cultural perspective." He may be right about that. Permit this conservative to suggest that the problem with Lemann's article is that the dean of the country's leading school of journalism has a very close relationship to the mainstream media, which obligates him to try much harder to be disinterested if he's going to write about it.
Instead, Lemann openly commiserates with the captains of the industry where his graduates will seek work. He notes that "newspapers and the network evening-news shows are losing their audiences at an alarming rate, while openly ideological, anti-mainstream-media, quasi-news programs like Rush Limbaugh's radio show have huge followings." He shares and voices the concerns of the country's media leaders: "Mainstream journalists want to think that the public is aware ofand respectsthe boundaries that separate real journalism from entertainment, and opinion, and propaganda, and marketing. If, instead, the public not only enjoys the quasi-journalistic pleasures that lie outside the boundaries, but also doesn't accept that what's inside really is distinct and superiorwell, that would sting." Lemann wonders, finally, whether there is still a large enough public to sustain journalism that is "inquisitive and intellectually honest, that surprises and unsettles."
This conclusion, that the mainstream press is suffering because people don't appreciate the nobility of its mission, would be easier to accept if Lemann and his subjects were less inclined to treat the intellectual honesty of the press as self-evident. It's hard for mere citizens to revere the boundary between journalism and propaganda, however, when the people who run CBS News disdain it. Americans may be more receptive to bracing journalism than Lemann fears, but they resent being enlightened by a press establishment that wants to have it both ways, to get credit for its ideal of objectivity while taking a "How dare you" posture to anyone who questions its political agenda. If it is good to be surprised and unsettled, then it's good for the editor of the New York Times to find out how deeply so many people distrust his newspaper. There is, unfortunately, very little in Lemann's article that would surprise and unsettle any of his fellow lodge members in the media establishment, anything that would force them to confront the disquieting possibility that the critics of the mainstream press are not all "wacky" and "paranoid"that a few of them really might be on to something.

It's time for that national "listening tour" on energy and climate, President Obama. Some evidence comes in a new survey from the Center for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University (seen via Tom Yulsman on Facebook). Here's an excerpt from the news release:
In a recent survey of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents conducted by the Center for Climate Change Communication (4C) at George Mason University, a majority of respondents (62 percent) said they feel America should take steps to address climate change. More than three out of four survey respondents (77 percent) said the United States should use more renewable energy sources, and of those, most believe that this change should begin immediately.
The national survey, conducted in January 2013, asked more than 700 people who self-identified as Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents about energy and climate change.
"Over the past few years, our surveys have shown that a growing number of Republicans want to see Congress do more to address climate change," said Mason professor Edward Maibach, director of 4C. "In this survey, we asked a broader set of questions to see if we could better understand how Republicans, and Independents who have a tendency to vote Republican, think about America's energy and climate change situation."
The reason a listening tour is the next step, and not a pre-packaged batch of legislation or other steps, is to build on the common ground across a wide range of Americans on energy thrift, innovation and fair play (meaning policies that distort the playing field, with mandated corn ethanol production and tax breaks for fossil fuel companies prime examples).
This might even lead to a new sense of mission in this country, something that's been lacking since the cold war and space race.
In Mother Jones, Chris Mooney has an interesting spin on the survey, noting that the way global warming was framed probably had an impact on the level of buy-in on the questions.
It's been clear for years that there are ways around the familiar partisan roadblocks on climate-smart energy policies. In 2009, the "Six Americas" survey by the same George Mason researchers and counterparts at Yale revealed this clearly. I distilled those findings into three slides here.
Here's a bit more on the survey from the George Mason Web site: Read more…

Web Applications with Java/JSP
Container Configuration
You may be wondering how the Servlet Container knows anything about the database. The answer is found in another configuration file, specific to each Servlet Container, that includes this information. You can look at the conf/context.xml file that comes with the sample Web application files for this article (see Resources), but you'll have to refer to the Apache Tomcat Web site for details on this Tomcat-specific configuration file format. If you want to deploy the sample application on a different application server, you need to write your own container-specific configuration file, which includes your database configuration.
Now that you have a sense of how the Web application is packaged and deployed, let's turn our attention to the real action in the Web application: the code.
Java is both a programming language and a runtime environment, much like Perl and PHP. In those cases, the compiler generally is invoked when the script is executed, while Java is always compiled beforehand. The Java programming language itself is object-oriented, procedural, block-structured and entirely familiar to anyone who has written in a C-like language. It has a number of explicitly defined primitive data types as well as reference types. All the Java code you write lives within the definition of a class, including servlet code.
Let's take a look at the source code for the GetTasksServlet (Listing 3), which implements the "get-tasks" servlet, which is mapped to the URL /tasks.
Listing 3. GetTasksServlet.java
package lj.timesheet; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Date; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.List; import java.util.Map; import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.PreparedStatement; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.SQLException; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; public class GetTasksServlet extends BaseServlet { public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { String username = request.getUserPrincipal().getName(); try { List<Client> clients = getClients(); // Convert client list to lookup table Map<Integer,Client> clientMap = new HashMap<Integer,Client>(clients.size()); for(Client client : clients) clientMap.put(client.getId(), client); request.setAttribute("clients", clients); request.setAttribute("clientMap", clientMap); request.setAttribute("tasks", getTasks(username)); getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/tasks.jsp") .forward(request, response); } catch (SQLException sqle) { throw new ServletException("Database error", sqle); } } ... }
The first line of the file declares the "package" in which the class is defined. Packages help keep code organized and have implications on variable, method, and class scope and visibility. The next set of lines are "imports" that indicate to the compiler which classes will be referenced by this class. Those classes beginning with java. are standard Java classes, while those beginning with javax.servlet are those provided by the Java Servlet Specification. Then, we define a class called GetTasksServlet that extends an existing class called HttpServlet, the basis for all HTTP-oriented servlets. The HttpServlet class defines a number of doXXX methods, where XXX is one of the HTTP methods, such as GET (doGet), POST (doPost), PUT (doPut) and so on. I have overridden the doGet method in order to respond to HTTP GET requests from clients.
The doGet method accepts two parameters: the request and the response, which provide hooks into the resources provided by the Servlet Container and to the information provided by the client for a particular HTTP request. I use two utility methods (defined later in the class) to obtain a list of clients and a list of tasks, and store them in the request object's "attributes", a location where data can be placed in order to pass them between stages of request processing. You'll see how to access this information next when I cover JSP files for generating content. Finally, I invoke the "request dispatcher's" forward method, which tells the container to forward the request to another resource: tasks.jsp.
Helpful article.
Thank you for bringing greater clarity to the Java Web world.
Cool article! Very insghtful.
This is an insightful article that expands horizons for Java users!
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Sindhis (Sindhi: سنڌي / सिन्धी / ) are a Sindhi-speaking ethnic group native to the Sindh province of Pakistan.
Following the partition of British India in 1947, most Hindu and Sikh Sindhis fled to modern-day India and other parts of the world, though, as of 1998, Hindus still constituted about 6% of the total Sindhi population in Pakistan.[4] Some Sindhi Hindus also believe in tenets of Sikhism but are predominantly Sahajdhari. As a result, this group of Sindhis can be regarded as concurrently following both Hinduism and Sikhism.
There are 35 million Sindhis living in Pakistan, with 33.5 million in Sindh, and 1.5 million in other provinces. 12.5% of Sindhis in Pakistan are Hindus. Most live in urban areas like Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, and Mirpur Khas. Hyderabad is the largest center of Sindhi Hindus in Pakistan who are numbered at about 350,000-500,000.[citation needed]
Prehistoric period[edit]
The original inhabitants of ancient Sindh were believed to be aboriginal tribes speaking languages of the Indus Valley civilization around 3300 BC.
The Indus Valley Civilization went into decline around the year 1700 BC for reasons that are not entirely known, though its downfall was probably precipitated by a massive earthquake or natural event that dried up the Ghaggar River. The Indo-Aryans are believed to have founded the Vedic civilization that existed between the Sarasvati River and Ganges river around 1500 BC. This civilization helped shape subsequent cultures in South Asia.
For several centuries in the first millennium B.C. and in the first five centuries of the first millennium A.D. western portions of Sindh, the regions on the western flank of the Indus river, were intermittently under Persian and Kushan rule, first during the Achaemenid dynasty (500-300 BC), then, from 150 BC under the Parthians, and still later under the Sassanids, before the Islamic invasion of Iran in the 7th century AD. Alexander the Great marched through Punjab and Sindh, down the Indus river, during his invasion of the eastern flank of the Persian empire.
Historical period[edit]
Because of its location at the western edge of South Asia, Sindh was one of the earliest regions to be influenced by Islam after 632 AD - as the Qu'ran was not written until then. Prior to this period, it was heavily Hindu, and Buddhist. After 632 AD, It was part of the Islamic empires of the Abbasids and Umayyids. Fundamentalist rulers played a pivotal role in forcibly converting millions of native Sindhis to Islam.[5][6] Habbari, Soomra, Samma, Arghun dynasties ruled Sindh. Many Baloch tribes migrated and settled in Sindh. These Baloch assimilated with Sindhis and now they constitute a significant population of Sindh.
Part of a series on |
The region received its name, Sindh, from the River Sindhu (Indus), and the people living in the region are referred to as Sindhi. The terms Hindi and Hindu are derived from the word Sindh and Sindhu, as the ancient Persians pronounced "s" as "h" (e.g. sarasvati as hrauvati). In the same way, Persians called the people of this region as Hindhi people, their language as Hindhi language and the region as Hindh, the name which is used for this region since ancient times and later for the whole northern part of the Indian sub-continent even today. India is also known as Hindustan.
The two main and highest ranked tribes of Sindh are: the Soomra - descendants of the Soomra Dynasty, who ruled Sindh during (970 - 1351 A.D.) and the second is Samma - descendants of the Samma Dynasty, who ruled Sindh during (1351 - 1521 A.D.). Both these tribes belong to the same blood line as well. Among other Sindhi Rajputs are the Bhachos, Bhuttos, Bhattis, Mahendros, Buriros, Lakha, Sahetas, Lohanas, Mohano, Dahars, Indhar, Gajani's, Kharals Chachar, Dhareja, Rathores, Dakhan, Langah, etc. The Sindhi-Sipahi of Rajasthan and the Sandhai Muslims of Gujarat are communities of Sindhi Rajputs settled in India. Closely related to the Sindhi Rajputs are the Jats of Sindh, who are found mainly in the Indus delta region. However, tribes are of little importance in Sindh as compared to in Punjab and Balochistan, and identity is mostly based on a common Sindhi ethnicity.
Another sub-group of the Sindhi population comprises the descendants of Muslim conquerors, administrators and missionaries who were Arabs, Persians, Afghans and Turks (including the Mughals)[citation needed]. They are a small minority settled in cities and towns and have largely blended with the other components of the population while maintaining something of a sub-culture; they are often referred to as Ashraf or the "noble". Of this third element, Muslim Arabs have possibly contributed the most to the development of the modern Sindhi language and literature and to the advancement of its intellectual and cultural activities.
Another group of people who are largely overlooked in any discussions about groups and culture of Sindh are the Haris, whose name is derived from the term "Harijan."[7] These people are generally believed to be the descendants of indigenous Dravidian populations that were enslaved by various invading people. Many are still living in abject poverty and under slave-like conditions in rural Sindh, because of the benign neglect and only nominal efforts by the government to improve the situation. The majority of Haris are nominally Muslims while practicing what is generally known as folk Hindu beliefs all over rural Pakistan like head tonsuring and sacred thread ceremonies. Many Haris continue to work as artisans and wage laborers and continue to be discriminated against due to their Dravidian heritage, different physical appearance from mainstream Sindhis and highly syncretic culture.
Nearly 14 million Muslims (Muhajirs) migrated from various parts of India and settled in Sindh after the creation of Pakistan, populating mostly urban centers of the province. They spoke Urdu, Gujarati, Bengali as well as other languages that reflect their different regions of origin.[8]
Sindhi Muslims[edit]
With Sindh's stable prosperity and its strategic geographical possession, it is not surprising that it was subject to successive conquests by foreign empires. In 712 A.D., Sindh was incorporated into the Caliphate, the Islamic Empire, and became the 'Arabian gateway' into India (later to become known as Bab-ul-Islam, the gate of Islam).
Sindhi culture also has certain Persian influences as Sindh was exposed to cultural, religious and linguistic influence from Islamic Persia. Most significantly, numerous Persian loanwords made their way into the Sindhi language along with the Nastaʿlīq script, in which modern Sindhi is written today.[citation needed]
Muslim Sindhis tend to follow the Sunni Hanafi fiqh with a substantial minority of Shia Ithna 'ashariyah. The Sufism has made a deep impact on Sindhi Muslims and Sufi shrines dot the landscape of Sindh.
Sindhi Hindus[edit]
Sindh is also home to some Hindus. It is notable that the ratio of Hindus was higher before the creation of Pakistan. Due to the persecution of Hindus in Pakistan, they are regarded as a minority in decline.
" | Before 1947 however, other than a few Gujarati speaking Parsees (Zorastrians) living in Karachi, virtually all the inhabitants were Sindhis, whether Muslim or Hindu at the time of Pakistan's creation, 75% of the population were Muslims and almost all the remaining 25% were Hindus.[9] | " |
Hindus in Sindh were concentrated in the cities before the partition of India in 1947, during which many had to flee to India to avoid being murdered according to Ahmad Hassan Dani, but in reality Hindus were spread over the length & breadth of Sindh. The Hindus of Kutch are also Sindhis but call themselves as Kutchi because they come from Kutch. Their new year is different from the Sindhi Hindus. Thari (a dialect of Sindhi) is spoken in both Sindh in Pakistan & Rajasthan in India.
" | The Cities and towns of Sindh were dominated by the Hindus. In 1941, for example, Hindus were 64% of the total urban population.[10] | " |
Sindhi names[edit]
Muslim Sindhis tend to have traditional Muslim first names, sometimes with localized variations. Most Sindhis have tribal and clan names as their surnames. Nearly forty percent of Sindhis have Baloch tribal names, like Jagiranis, Bijaranis, Gajanis of Sindh are mostly living in the upper sindh districts of Sukkur, Khairpur Mirs and Jacobabad. And these Sindhi Balochs are those peoples migrated from Balochistan since decades. Hindu Sindhis tend to have surnames that end in '-ani' (a variant of 'anshi', derived from the Sanskrit word 'ansh', which means 'descended from'). The first part of a Sindhi Hindu surname is usually derived from the name or location of an ancestor. In northern Sindh, surnames ending in 'ja' (meaning 'of') are also common. A person's surname would consist of the name of his or her native village, followed by 'ja'.

Notable Sindhis[edit]
Famous Sindhis include Pir Hisamudin Rashidi,[11] G. M. Syed, Shaikh Ayaz, Amar Jaleel, Sabeer Bhatia, Hassan Ali Effendi, Ghulam Ali Allana and Imdad Ali Imam Ali Kazi.

Arc Tech Pro Home Surge Protector
Has anybody had any experience with BTU Research Arc-Tech Pro. List price is around $250. I called one of the local Siemens distributors and pretty much got stonewalled. I am considering a Home Surge Protector since the area where I live in Texas experiences rather frequent power surges which affects the TV, Microwave, Oven and computer. I have heard the Good, The Bad, The Ugly regarding Home Surge Protectors so don't know if this is a "Feel Good Remedy" which frankly I don't need. Would really be interested if some of the more knowledgeable would look at the company web site, and see what you think of the ARC-Tech. If you have any other suggestions regarding a similar or better product I would be interested.
Lastly, if I do install a Home Surge Protector at the outside power source do I still need to install surge protectors at the inside sources of power i.e. microwave, oven, television, etc? |

Arc Tech Pro Home Surge Protector
Can't say that they are a major player in the surge industry. First I had ever heard of them. When you compare the specs on their site to what is in their UL file there are some noticeable discrepancies.
Their UL file: http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/t...288&sequence=1 Their clamping performance, L-N 800volts, isn't anything to rave about. I am not at all surprised that the Siemens distributor blew you off on sourcing this for you. Didn't they offer you the SPD4Home (file part #TPSA9040)? It has a lower clamping voltage(L-N 700volts), a Ground integrity monitoring circuit and an audible alarm. Siemens UL file: http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/t...288&sequence=1 Every surge manufacturer recommends staging surge so yes utilize point-of-use plug in devices to supplement the panel protector.

"If you can look up into the night sky and recognize what lies above you can never, no matter where your travels take you, feel lonely or lost again." These words, spoken by astronomy Professor Aileen O'Donoghue, came to mind as I stared out the window on January 14th, 2010 at the unfamiliar dark sky stretching eastwards toward Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and a semester-long journey of becoming familiar with East African skies.
Through the generosity of the CIIS Office and the Giltz Family Fund I received a Travel Enrichment grant that allowed me to conduct a semester-long research project observing the night sky in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda and engaging in conversations with East Africans in hopes of gaining a better understanding of the role the celestial heavens plays in the everyday livelihoods of different communities.
Every chance I had I would grab my binoculars and field guide and head out into an open field and look up into skies virtually free of light pollution. From January to June I spent nights in the Meru country side, a-top boulders in Tanzania's Yaeda valley, along the Nile River familiarizing myself with the Southern sky. Seeing the Big Dipper hanging upside down for the first time above the roof of my rural home stay house was unreal. The excitement that came with spotting the Southern Hemisphere-specific Large Magellenic Cloud, the Jewel Box Nebulae, and the infamous Southern Cross made all the early 3am mornings and mosquito bites worth the wait. Having the opportunity to share my joy and knowledge of the night sky with other students on my program and new friends I met along the way was extremely gratifying.
Wherever the semester would take us I would ask people about the stars. On a trip to Tanzania we spent a week living along side the Hadza, one of the last hunter-gatherer communities in Africa, learning about their way of life. Through translators I asked a group of men about the stars. When my questions got translated huge smiles spread across their faces and they all looked up at the sky (still daytime) and pointed at things, discussing in Hadza, their native language. One of the men started gesturing directly above his head and making three marks with his fingers and saying "Misebe." Orion's belt! I knew it before the translation came through (Orion is directly overhead in East Africa). In Hadza stars are called Ntsapehe, and moon is Seta.
In an interview with a farmer who lived on the outskirts of the Amboseli National park he explained how important the stars are in providing light during the night when he has to stay up to guard his crops from wildlife. In Kikamba, the language of his tribe, star is ndata and moon is mwei. During a visit to a Maasai cultural boma I spoke with a young member of the community who explained that in his culture it is the belief that stars are God's eyes watching his people. Shooting starts signify someone's death so when you see one you must cover your eyes. Traditionally when the Seven Sisters, the Pleiades, are rising it signifies to the Maasai that the rainy season is beginning. In Maa star is keleken and moon is alapa.
My only set-back came at the end of my semester. My final observations, bringing together everything I had learned throughout the semester, were to take place during a four-day trek up Mt. Elgon in Northeastern Uganda in the hopes of capturing a 360-degree view of the night sky. The hike itself was incredible, however, being as it was the start of the rainy season, the sky was perpetually thick with dark clouds making observations impossible. While this was a huge disappointment it didn't detract from the overall purpose of my research.
As I boarded the plane at the end of June, homeward bound, I looked up from the tarmac into a night sky that held all the familiar faces that I had come to know throughout my semester in East Africa.

I know the early bird catches the worm, but I can't imagine what these robins are expecting to find two months before the arrival of spring. Apparently they are content to feast on a few berries they've discovered along Partridge Hill Road in the Town of Russia. Proudly perched in the trees next to the West Canada Creek, they permitted this photogenic moment.

500 mL can in recent mixed pack (don't have the exact date, but fresh.)
A - Medium brown with a small, rapidly dissipating and almost white head. On the pale side for a porter but not shocking.
S - Sweet malts, hint of roast malt, and perhaps (?) a tiny bit of noble hop aroma.
T - Massive worty sweetness, what the heck? The finish is a little better, with mellow chocolate malt and a smallish dose of hop bitterness.
M - Pretty thin, above-average carbonation.
O - Not at all to porter style. A mediocre, overly sweet brown ale that doesn't really come together.

Fetched a bottle from a Rickards mixed pack along with a Blonde. I used to drink a fair quantity of Rickards and this was probably my favorite of the brood, a brew that satisfied my craving for dark beers long before I really knew anything about dark beers. Returning to it now was prompted by a semi-sober quaff at a Halloween party and my managing to recall that there were some mellow pleasant caramel flavors lurking in there. Pours a dark reddish brown that sorta evokes a porter, but really not much else about this beer does. Its a dark mild or brown ale. Evaluation solely on the basis of style guidelines is therefore unfair, although one can fault Molson for marketing the beer as something its not. Blonde at least lands in the German pilsener ballpark. Dark is pretty foamy, probably around three inches of light tan head, and has a thinnish watery body that clashes with one's expectations. Aroma is mild, I get roasted malt, light toffee, maybe a little fruit like baked apple. I do not smell or taste much in the way of maple, which is probably just as well. Palate is light caramel/toffee, along with dry nuts and a roasted bitterness like weak cold coffee and what I swear is a light fruity note, almost citrus in character. Hmmm. Could be hops. Has the malty tang that one gets from brown ales and yes, porters. I also get a little cardboard or some other papery notes, a signature Rickards off-flavor along with metal. Make no mistake, though, the whole package is downplayed and falls well short of robust. The pleasant lingering caramel that I recalled from the aforementioned party was indeed present again and is a redeeming feature. If you shed your expectations and view this as a mild or brown rather than a porter its not too bad, if a little unsophisticated.

12 oz bottle was poured into a pint glass.
Appearance: This beer poured a one finger head that reduced to a thin layer. It is a brownish black color with some clarity when held up to light and slow bubbles seen coming up through the the glass.
Smell: Sweet caramel and toffee, a little bit of chocolate, but not much else going on here.
Taste: Sweet caramel and toffee, some chocolate, and some mild bitterness in the end.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, light bodied, low to medium carbonation, very drinkable, and a little bitterness.
Overall: Definitely not a porter, but a nice brown ale. Partially of what the style should be, but expecting more of the style.

3.14/5 rDev +3.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
Purchased from The Beer Store for $2.45 CDN. Served cold into a pint glass.
Appearance - Dark, murky brown color with 1.5 fingers of off-white head that doesn't linger. reddish hues in the beer with sparse lacing and few bubbles.
Smell - Not much, definitely not like many of the porters I've grown accustomed to. Some faint caramel and molasses aromas, but really there isn't much here. Fortunately no off-smells.
Taste - Decent flavor, nothing on some of the good English porters (looking at you Fuller's) but decent malty flavor with caramel and molasses again coming through. Not a ton of anything else, but maybe a bit of dark chocolate hidden in there as well. Not great for a porter but more acceptable for a mild or brown English Ale.
Mouthfeel - Here's the main reason why I think this is misclassified. While it does retain somewhat of a creamy and rich feel, it's far too watery to be a porter. Medium finish and surprisingly smooth, so while t actually has a good mouthfeel, it's really light for a porter.
Overall - More like a mild English ale, so keeping the style in mind this score is a bit lower than it would be otherwise. Not a bad beer, but not the most impressive from Rickard's and only fair as a porter.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Almost a clear filtered deep mahogany brown hue with a big khaki tan head, big bubbles form thick. Mild hints of coffee they mentioned a touch of maple syrup added in here, mild cocoa very pleasant mass produced porter. Flavors meld nicely a hint of cherry or other dark fruits, mild cocoa, hints of maple syrup without coming off too sweet. A bit watery maybe, I wish there were more substantial flavors but for something from Rickard's aka Molson it's pretty enjoyable and effortless to drink. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied range, with even carbonation nothing cloying on the palate a hint of roasted malt bitterness hangs around between sips. Overall I'm glad my cousin shared his sampler of the Rickard's 12 pack he got coming back from Canada. He happened to drink all of the Rickard's Blonde, happy to try the White and Dark and revisit the Red.

473 mL can poured into a conical pint glass.
Huge, 4-finger head (in this narrow glass). Dark brown appearance, though not as dark as could be. You could see some light passing through still.
Head had only faint aromas. Hints of coffee, metal, and perhaps some honey-like scent. Some breadiness. Unfortunately, the smell remained weak after the head went away. However, after the beer warmed up a bit, the scents began to strengthen.
Taste: Cocoa and coffee flavours, with vague maple notes. Some grainy bitterness and faintly metallic taste in the finish. Bitterness and metal faded away as I progressed down the glass.
Thinnish mouthfeel, with significant carbonation.
I like porters in general, so that compels me to give a nice overall mark. Not as good as other porters and darks I've had, so I don't think I'd buy this again.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
Smaller sized light brown head quickly dies into a nice lacing above a dark amber brownish colored beer.
A light dark roasted malt aroma.
Dark roasted lightly caramel grain malt taste with a touch of some hops sneaking in. The taste is on the lighter side but still very evident.
A light almost dry aftertaste with just a bit of the dark tastes remaining with this medium bodied dark.
This dark beer is a bit on the lighter side but I would think given that it would pair with food very well, I think it would enhance the food and thus enhance itself some.

Hi all i'm using cs5 to edit 1 picture into 12 variations for a canvas print ad , so i have the original image , which is
(1) reduced in size from approx 30mb @300dpi to approx 7mb @100dpi my action for the 3d canvas requires it to be 40-60 dpi at approx 80"
(2) actioned into a 3d canvas
(3) then reduced back to approx 6" @100dpi
(4) then grouped layers named 1 to 12 are turned on save as then 2 save as then 3 save as etc etc etc etc
i'm up to 107 folders of 12 images as you can imagine its getting borring lol
is there a way via a script (which i've never used) so i can have lets say an image in a folder called "108"
and i can run a script so it does what it does and saves the 12 image variations from that 1 image.
any help will be appreciated i can go through about 10 to 15 a day before i start losing the will to live .
regards ken
I bet you wanted more then a Yes. The good new is you don't even have to write the script its been writen for you. Go to Russell Brown Web site and download X's script Image Processor Pro. Once installed you will find it under menu File>Automate>Image Processor Pro. You can configure it to save as many image files for an imags as you need. The script is very flexable you can include an action for each image you need to save. The script has plug-in support so you can even recorde its use in an action. Actions are easier then scripts to make you can recoed and edit these. For Scripts need to program with a programming scripting language on a PC the choices are Javascript and VBS, on a Mac Javascript and Apple Script. Javascript as you see works on both platforms.
The outer frame is a blank template so i open the original (shutterstock) image then resize it ,run the studio gallery wrap action , this gives a 3d look and rotates the image slightly , then i run an action ( i recorded) to copy that layer , reduce size 10 times (10 layers) to give the 10 colour variations around the outside , this is saved as colourmix.jpg
then where the large image is (layer 1bdg) i have the same colour filters in grouped layers so i end up with 12 pictures as follows
Untouched no filter as original image
i have over a thousand to get through and then i intend to do 7 or 8 frame variations , so this is gonna take a longggg time this is why i thought i come to the experts
JJMACK thanks for the help will take a look at that now.
very best regards ken
