ISEA2014 – Dubai United Arab Emirates
20th International Symposium on Electronic Art
October 30 to November 8 2014
ISEA2014 will be hosted by Zayed University in collaboration with the Dubai Convention Bureau and will engage with a range of cultural and creative partners in the Middle East.
The overarching theme of ISEA2014 'Location' will explore strands such as Technology; Science & Art East Meets West; Emerging Economies/Emerging Identities; Nomadic Shifts and Digital Archaeology and Collaborative Spaces.
ISEA Dubai 2014, Oct. 30-Nov. 8, 2014
CFP for the Panel: "Responsive Environments – On the Interrelation between Location, Atmosphere, and Digital Media"
Deadline for Abstracts: July 15, 2014
Chair: Dr. Christiane Heibach / Andreas Simon / Jan-Lewe Torpus
Institute of Experimental Design- and Media Cultures, Basel, www.ixdm.ch
Responsive/Sensitive Environment, Embodied Interaction, Holistic Experience, Atmosphere, Extended Human Senses, Affective Computing, Media Art, Artistic/Design Research, Adaptive Architecture
Since the emergence of computer technologies the notion of "location" has been expanded. From the beginning, digital media were seen as world-generating technologies being able to create alternative forms of "locations", e.g. virtual environments. Currently, tendencies like ubiquitous computing and wearable computing point to a further dimension of "location": hybrid spaces in which moving, multi-sensing, and interacting may reach new levels of intensity. This causes a paradigm shift in digital technologies, because the simulation of virtual spaces is substituted by experiments with interaction and digitally expanded perception in physical space. Thus, mobile and pervasive technologies will change the future design and artistic opportunities of Human-Computer-Interfaces. Furthermore, their extended responsiveness will modify the individual's perception and notion of the self.
The panel aims to discuss different artistic approaches to hybrid spaces and the notion of "location", starting with our own project of a responsive environment, which is designed as physical space, composed of different materials and changing atmospheric components like shapes, light, sound, smell, temperature or airflow. Using sensory and feedback technologies we aim to establish a close relation between the humans and this environment to question the idea of an immediate experience as it is currently discussed in phenomenological approaches like those of Brian Massumi and Mark B.N. Hansen.
We want to invite artists and researchers working in similar directions to generate an interdisciplinary approach which promises to match theory, art and holistic experience. By this we also aim to critically reflect the consequences of current technological developments heading towards an "interfaceless" connectivity between humans and machines (like in biofeedback technologies) and/or the design of an 'intelligent' environment (as intedend e.g. by ubiquitous computing applications).

A New Web Comic - Wandering Viola
Wandering Viola is a new ongoing comic story written by me and drawn by Nadine Feghaly.
It's the story of Viola: a girl who comes from a world where everyone has their eyes closed in search of inner truth. Viola opens her eyes, however, and for this crime she is banished.
Now she travels the universe one planet at a time.
Would love to hear what you think.

Re: A New Web Comic - Wandering Viola
It is very different from most webcomics and looks a lot like a children's book. I actually enjoy it, it has a feeling like Saint Exupery to it.
I have never seen something like this published on the Net, if you keep going in this direction it could actually be more adapt as a reading book for the elementary school.BEAUTIFUL COLOURS!!!

Now we know the answer to the question which has come up during my Tuesday chats recently: No, J.J. Abrams' "Alcatraz" won't be renewed. Also gone is "The Finder" after one season, says the Hollywood Reporter.
But Fox has ordered a fifth and final season for Abrams' "Fringe" (only 13 episodes), and a second season for Kiefer Sutherland's "Touch" from "Heroes" creator Tim Kring.
Fox will make these official on Monday, when it announces its fall TV lineup. Fox already has renewed "The X Factor," "The Simpsons," "Glee," "New Girl," "American Dad," "Bones," "The Cleveland Show," "Kitchen Nightmares" and "Raising Hope."
NBC also announces its fall TV lineup Monday.

The DNA of a �miracle baby� which an evangelist claims was conceived through the power of prayer does not match those of her alleged parents, a coroner has ruled.
Dr William Dolman, of Hornsey Coroner�s Court, yesterday said Sarah, who died three weeks after she was born, was not related in any way to the couple claiming to be her parents, BBC Radio 4 programme You and Yours reported.
The child was one of many babies who Gilbert Deya, head of controversial religious sect Gilbert Deya Ministries, claims were conceived through the power of prayer.
It was the first time in eight centuries that an English coroner has had to decide whether a miracle has taken place.
Dr Dolman returned an open verdict into Sarah�s death � which he said was the most difficult case in his career � saying he was unsure how the baby died.
The mother, from north London, was told she was infertile and travelled to Nairobi where she claimed to have given birth last September, the programme said.
Dr Dolman told the programme: �For 800 years coroners have been investigating unnatural deaths and this is the first time that we�ve been asked to look into a miracle.�
�I am quite clear that no miracle took place and the scientific evidence is absolutely clear on this.
�This woman claims she travelled to Nairobi to give birth to this baby and she describes that birth in some detail. I�m convinced that that birth never took place and that baby Sarah is not her child.�
Dr Dolman told the programme the tragedy was that the real parents of baby Sarah had still not been traced and knew nothing of her death.
�We�ve done everything we can to find the real parents of this girl and I now fear that we will never know who she is,� he said.
�Even how she died is still unclear, although we�ve been able to rule out an attack or assault.�
The court heard evidence from the alleged mother�s local GP and hospital doctors that confirmed the woman was unable fall pregnant.
Dr Dolman said it was not up to him to decide if the parents had been tricked or something far more sinister was going on.
�A coroner has to ask four basic questions about the deceased. The first is who they were, usually the easiest to answer. In this case it�s the most difficult and I fear we shall never know,� he told the programme.
Dr Dolman is making arrangements for Sarah to be buried by Haringey Social Services.
Deya claims to help infertile couples in his congregation � now estimated to be 36,000 strong � have miracle babies but is wanted in his native Kenya over allegations that he traffics in children.
The Charity Commission has begun an investigation into the Gilbert Deya Ministries, which has churches in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Nottingham.
Last week, a High Court judge ruled that an infertile mother who gave birth to a so-called miracle baby was the victim of a �cruel deception by child traffickers�.
The boy, believed to be about one-year-old, was taken into care after tests revealed his DNA did not match either of its alleged parents.

As I sit here typing, wafting all around me is the aroma of whole wheat bread baking. It smells SO GOOD, I want to take great big bites out of the air, although on second thought, that would probably just make me belch. And then Meelyn, who finds bodily noises unaccountably hilarious, would screech with laughter like a monkey and Aisling would loftily say to her "Were you born in a BARN?" and I just don't feel like getting into it.
Tonight for dinner, we are having the bread and beef-barley stew and I plan to close the curtains over the big dining room window and ask everyone to pretend it is a rainy, chilly night in mid-October.

Austin Pettis WR (11%): This guy just won't go away. After weeks of being pissed that Pettis is taking targets from the Rams more popular fantasy options (Austin, Cook, Givens), its time to realize that Pettis is the Rams #1 WR. He leads the team in targets and touchdowns after 5 weeks.
Max FAAB: $10
Keenan Allen WR (6%): Everyone forgot about Allen when he slipped to the 3rd round of the draft this year, but most draftniks had him near the end of the 1st round on their draft boards. So the talent is there, Rivers is in the midst of a bounce back year, the Chargers receiver group is fairly weak, and the Chargers D is really bad which should result in some high scoring games. There are many reasons to like Allen and I could see him being a decent flex play the rest of the season.
Max FAAB: $10
Rueben Randle WR (38%): I've already given up on Randle twice this year, but his big game in week 5 puts him back on the list (6-96-2). With the Giants 0-5, there is a decent chance Hakeem Nicks gets dealt before the trade deadline (10/29). If that happens, Randle's value will skyrocket. It's worth holding on to him for a couple of weeks.
Max FAAB: $7
Terrance Williams WR (18%): As long as Miles Austin is out, Williams is worth a spot on your roster. Over his two starts this year Williams is averaging 5.5 catches for 111 yards. The Cowboys #2 WR is a sweet gig and Austin has struggled to stay healthy the last few seasons. I expect Williams to get at least a few more starts before the season is over and he's worth a spot on your bench.
Max FAAB: $7
Robert Woods WR (31%): Woods led the Bills with 13 targets in week 5 and has averaged 11 targets per game over the last three weeks. Who knows what Bills new QB Thad Lewis brings to the table (probably not much) , but with the Bills porous D, they will have to throw the ball and Woods is looking like at least their #2 option.
Max FAAB: $5

How does a Top Notch Steakhouse ruin not one, but two $42 14oz filet mignons at the same table? Just ask the management at S&W, although I doubt they'll have an answer-other than duh, I dunno. We were a 4 top BTW. 50% is a bad batting average when it comes to cooking prime beef!
Two filets which were ordered medium came out brown all the way through! 5 minutes later one of the managers came to our table proclaiming they'd be out in 5 minutes or less. Ten minutes later, when we were alomost done with our $12 per side dishes, along came our steaks...really sad. Once delivered, the food was good, but we were practically full already. They then came out medium-rare. I don't get why they can't get it right after all these years and steaks served...it just doesen't make sense to me. They specialize in steak for heaven's sake!
On a bright note the collasal lump crab app was friggin' phenomenal, and the crab cakes were good too. The side dishes were also amazing and the view can't be beat during the daylight hours. But to screw up the temps of steaks in a steakhouse institution is really unforgivable. Moral of the story, don't get steak at this steak house!
Funny, that's pretty much how it was when I was last there for dinner over 2 years ago. In that case, there were about 8 of us. Filets ordered medium-rare came out purple and cool 1/8" in. I had a more flavorful cut ordered either medium or medium-rare that came out well.
I remember liking the creamed spinach.
The bar sure is lovely.
Hmph - I was just there recently for a big group dinner and everything came out just fine. Sounds like we got lucky. Pretty remarkable for a steakhouse to be unable to turn the steak out at the right doneness.
Speaking of steakhouses, I was at Morton's recently for lunch and was duly impressed by the scope and appeal of their lunch menu. Maybe I was just hungry, but everything sounded really good. Aside from the usual steakhouse stuff, there were at least a dozen lunch-sized items (several smaller steaks, a few lunch salads, a salmon eggs benedict, a burger, a couple different chicken dishes, crabcakes...) that made a really nice selection. Plus daily lunch specials - I had a $15 meatloaf & mashed potatoes which was an outrageous bargain, particularly because the slab of meatloaf was about the size of a manhole cover (and delicious too).
Yeah, lax and I have been saying S&W sucked for the longest time. This is nothing new, nor should it be shocking in any way. S&W is a great place to go for happy hour drinks, but I would not eat there. S&W's Miami location never was anything close to resembling a top notch steakhouse.
My new thing, next time I order steak, is not to order by doneness, but by color and temperature, after the discussions on this thread:
P.S. That's why I rave about the Lone Star Steakhouse near my home in Port Orange. I know it's a stupid chain -- but after a dozen or more meals there in the past year, every single goshdarned steak has come out exactly as ordered. I'll put up with peanuts on the floor just for that.
The above reviews of $42 improperly cooked steaks reinforces my long term stance that steak is best eaten at home ! Find a good source of beef, pull the cork on a nice bottle of wine, light the coals and save yourself $100 ! Granted, I have had a few Ruth's Chris "expense account" steaks that were fantastic but then again, I wasn't paying !
S&W's redeems itself, a bit, during wine week at lunch, where, for an extra $10, you are poured many good wines, unlimited. I like the cracklin' pork shank, and the snapper at those meals. Actually, never had their steak. Go earlier in the week, b/c if you wait until Friday, the wines are not as good, and the place more crowded. Try to sit near the window in the room on the western end of the building, and enjoy your afternoon off.
I'll agree with the assessments of the steak. We took some business clients there (trying to make a good impression, you know) and it was expensive as hell-- the sides and the wines were great -- and the steaks were only so-so. Next time (if there is ever a next time), forget the doggone steak!
re: tpigeon
you betcha! They are good!

California Artist Grace Hudson in Hawaii
Opening on Saturday, September 6, our current show is Days of Grace: California Artist Grace Hudson in Hawaii. This landmark exhibit brings together, for the first time ever, many of the existing paintings and sketches that the Museum's namesake artist made in 1901 during a restorative stay in Hawaii. It features Hudson's seldom-seen portraits of Native Hawaiian and Asian women and children, plus charming landscapes and seascapes. These are supplemented by Hawaiian artifacts Grace collected, her letters to and from family members during her sojourn, and photos she took of her surroundings.
Included are rare works from other painters in Hawaii that Grace met while there, including Helen Whitney Kelley; Theodore Wores; Charles Furneaux; D. Howard Hitchcock; illustrator Charles Bradford Hudson (no relation to Grace or her husband, John); and Harold Meade Mott-Smith. An extensive catalog will be available in the Museum Gift Shop. This exhibit is co-curated by Karen Holmes, Grace Hudson Museum Registrar & Carpenter Family Historian, and Sherrie Smith-Ferri, Grace Hudson Museum Director.

Days of Grace:
California Artist Grace Hudson in Hawaii
This exhibition explores California artist Grace Hudson's experiences, and the artwork she produced, during her 1901 sojourn in the Hawaiian Islands–a time she found to be both fascinating and restorative. For the first time ever, Hudson's Hawaiian paintings, drawn from numerous public and private collections, will be exhibited together, in conjunction with the photographs and letters that recorded her life in the Islands. Supplemented by Native Hawaiian artifacts which Grace collected, and paintings by fellow artists with whom Grace crossed paths in Honolulu and Hilo, this extensive exhibit will appeal to art, history, and anthropology enthusiasts alike. A catalog will be available. This traveling exhibit is organized by the Grace Hudson Museum and curated by Grace Hudson Museum Family Historian Karen Holmes and Director Sherrie Smith-Ferri.
Permanent Exhibits
Permanent exhibits on Grace Hudson's life, family, and professional work, and on Pomo basketry and culture, are available for viewing during regular Museum hours. The Sun House, the Hudsons' 1911 Craftsman home can be toured with Museum docents. See Sun House Tours for more information.
Hart Gallery
The Ivan B. and Elvira Hart Gallery houses a permanent exhibition dedicated to the artistic career of Grace Carpenter Hudson. Accompanied by text and photo panels giving extensive information about each phase and aspect of Grace's professional development, the gallery features numerous oils, watercolors, pen and ink drawings, charcoal, conte crayon, and graphite drawings, and mixed media works. Hudson's personal life is documented further in the Norma & Evert Person Gallery.
Person Gallery
The Norma and Evert Person Gallery features a permanent exhibit of informative text panels, photographs, textiles, and objects that interpret the history, and celebrate the legacy, of the memorable Carpenter-Hudson family. Organized by generations, each section of the gallery introduces the viewer to members of Grace Carpenter Hudson's illustrious family through descriptions of their lives, and displays of their belongings. Grace's own section expands upon her personal life, while her professional career is highlighted in the Ivan B. and Elvira Hart Gallery.
Stone Gallery
The J. Ralph and Lois Stone Gallery features a long-term exhibition showcasing Pomo baskety masterpieces woven between 1860-2003. The baskets come from the collections of the Grace Hudson Museum, other private institutions with significant ethnographic holdings, and private collections. Informative text panels explain the steps taken in cultivating, harvesting, and processing materials for basketmaking. Panels also discuss the history of Pomo basketweaving, and the forms and functions of various basket types.
The Sun House
The Sun House, a 1911 redwood Craftsman bungalow home, is situated immediately in front of the Museum and is available for tours. Grace and John Hudson, its owners, together with architect George Wilcox, set out to build a functional, custom Craftsman-style home scaled to the Hudsons' needs. Fairly modest in size, it nonetheless accommodated Grace's prodigious artistic output and John's sizeable ethnographic collections. Keeping in mind the Arts and Crafts goal of uniting designer and craftsperson, the Hudsons actively collaborated with Wilcox on the design of the house, while adding their own creative touches. These include the pink tulips that Grace stenciled on the bedroom walls, the distinctive hat rack built by John Hudson in the entryway, and the unusual pendant lighting fixtures throughout the home. As was often the case in Craftsman dwellings, the architect became the furniture maker as well, when Wilcox designed and built the beautiful sideboard in the dining room that he presented to the Hudsons as a housewarming present. It is believed they moved into the Sun House around New Year's Day, 1912.
While these personal touches make the Sun House unique (in keeping with the Arts and Crafts spirit), it also features many typical Craftsman details. The sloping gabled roof with overhang, the sleeping porch, the use of natural redwood and stone, the front veranda, board-and-batten walls, built-in cabinetry and window seats, curio shelves above the doorways, "honest" materials (such as burlap and monks cloth wall coverings), exposed timbers, and the home's overall sense of simplicity, are all classic Craftsman elements.
Though George Wilcox designed several other Craftsman homes in Ukiah, and a scattering of other Craftsman bungalows exist in the town, the Sun House remains its most famous example. This is in good part due, of course, to its distinctive inhabitants. Taken together, the Hudsons and the Sun House are the embodiment of Arts and Crafts ideals, and leave a local legacy of an international movement.

Paris and Singapore - April 26, 2001 - Alcatel (Paris: CGEP.PA, NYSE: ALA) and Flextronics (NASDAQ: FLEX) today announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to outsource the European manufacturing of Alcatel's GSM handsets to Flextronics. The agreement calls for Alcatel to transfer its Laval GSM manufacturing facility to Flextronics. No financial details were announced.
Flextronics will acquire the assets of the Laval manufacturing plant, and 830 Alcatel employees will be transferred to Flextronics. As part of the agreement, the companies will build a strong partnership in terms of the industrialization engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, logistics management.
The announcement is one part of Alcatel's strategy to consolidate its European GSM handset manufacturing which has been presented today to Alcatel workers councils. Both Alcatel's and Flextronics' objective is to sign the final agreement by the end of June. The company also announced today that it will phase out GSM manufacturing at its plant in Illkirch, France. That plant will be organized to manufacture components for the fast growing Alcatel Optronics business. (See separate press release).
"The GSM handsets market is maturing and Alcatel must adapt its processes to remain competitive and regain profitability," said Olivier Houssin, President Alcatel e-Business Group. "This agreement is an extension of our successful relationship with Flextronics and gives us increased flexibility and lower costs, while strengthening the future of the operations."
"We are delighted to have this opportunity to strengthen our partnership with Alcatel. The agreement is another step in our ongoing commitment to our customers which includes having manufacturing capabilities close to their existing operations and close to their key markets. Our longterm partnership now allows us to not only manufacture their products, but to also cooperate in the areas of industrialization, purchasing and logistics", said Humphrey Porter, President, Flextronics Central and Eastern Europe. "The Laval factory provides us with a very experienced, state-of-the-art facility, and with a team of very dedicated employees. This will contribute to our growing mobile phone and 3G phone manufacturing capabilities."
In the GSM mobile phone market, Alcatel has grown very successfully over the past three years to reach a market share of 10% in Europe. This partnership is a key element in Alcatel's strategy to consolidate this market share profitably in the coming years.
Flextronics has grown rapidly in the last four years to become the second largest electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider in the world. The company will offer Alcatel its full range of services, including advanced Web-based tools for order management, production control, design and industrialization, and logistics management. The company also features a complete line of vertically integrated services including engineering and design, plastics, and PCB fabrication, which are important in reducing costs in the telecom industry.
This is another phase of a long-standing partnership between Alcatel and Flextronics.
This agreement does not affect the Alcatel's GSM manufacturing plants in China.

Thousands turn out to see hummingbirds
By SUE WATSON
Governor Haley Barbour attended Audubon Under The Stars and helped officially open the Hummingbird Migration Celebration Thursday of last week with the release of a banded bird.
This year's celebration drew over 8,000 visitors, matching or exceeding last year's attendance at the four-day event held at Strawberry Plains Audubon Center.
About 240 birds were banded, according to Madge Lindsay, executive director of the Mississippi Audubon Society.
Mississippi's Bob Bowen, board chairman of the Strawberry Plains Audubon Center, introduced Barbour.
"It is an honor to introduce one of Mississippi's most influential leaders, Gov. Haley Barbour, who is no stranger to Audubon," he said. "He has given his personal endorsement of the master planning grant for the center at Moss Point and to the Native Plants Cooperative grant at Strawberry Plains and for an Appalachian Regional Commission grant to build an entrance at Strawberry Plains."
Strawberry Plains Audubon in Holly Springs serves as the headquarters for Audubon Mississippi.
Bowen cited Barbour's recognized role in leading recovery efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.
"The governor received national recognition for his leadership of our state in post-Katrina recovery, particularly on the Gulf Coast," Bowen said. "As the governor has said, 'adversity doesn't reveal character, it builds character.' "
Mississippi's first lady, Marsha Barbour, was slated to release this year's hummingbird again, but was not able to attend due to an illness in the family, the governor said.
So he assumed the duties for his wife, by releasing a tiny bird which lingered in his hand for a long while. Barbour was deeply touched by the heartbeat and the soft feathers of this tiny creature.
"I saw the picture of my wife holding the hummingbird and thought it was a trick of photography," he said.
It was the governor's first time to ever touch a hummingbird and feel its rapid heartbeat of several hundred beats per minute when resting and about 1,200 beats per minute in flight.
"We're coming back next year, whether I'm governor or not," he said at a gathering of over 100 under the tent Thursday night. "What's not to love? It's a great thing."
In attendance was Larry Jarrod, director of the Natural Resources Initiative For Mississippi, who sat on the front row when the governor addressed guests.
"We grew up bird shooting, not bird watching," Barbour quipped. "But when you see this, you realize the bird watching industry is a tens of million dollars industry. Audubon Society recognizes the value of it and the value of educating our children.
"The other side of this is economic development and the tourism side. The hospitality industry employs more people world-wide than any other industry."
Barbour said the industry provides entry level jobs which are important to Mississippians and are very entrepreneurial.
"A lot of people confuse this (the hospitality industry) with casinos, but I see it as good for our economy and job creating," he said. "What a treat for me. Things like this (Hummingbird Migration Celebration) require volunteers and donors. Everybody can write a check, and this is worth writing a check for."
Lindsay introduced Don McKee, newly nominated to the board of directors of the National Audubon Society to represent the states of Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
McKee served with Audubon Chapters on the Gulf Coast and is the first Mississippian to serve in this important position, Lindsay said.
Lindsay introduced Bob Sargent whom she called "the gentle giant, who knows so much about these tiny birds than anybody I know."
Sargent returns to the celebration every year with other members of the Hummer Bird Study Group to band the tiny migratory birds.
Now retired, Bob and Martha Sargent have turned their energies to studying birds of migration - particularly the smaller variety.
"It's something we really love and a non-paying job," Sargent said. "The hummingbirds are all heading to Southern Mexico and Central America for the winter.
Bird banding is a useful way to study the longevity and direction of travel of migratory birds, he said. And it helps unravel the life habits of the bird.
The Hummer Bird Study Group helps raise the awareness of the need to plant nectar producing flowers and to put out sugar-water feeders to help build the population of hummingbirds back up. A decade or so ago, the populations were on the decline.
Special tiny, light-weight bands are used for the delicate hummingbird, so light that it takes 5,500 bands to weigh an ounce. The band has one letter and five numbers on it.
The hummingbird population was diminishing until the Audubon Society and people like the Sargents took an interest in helping increase their populations through education and public banding programs like Audubon's. The correct ratio for a feeder is four parts water to one part sugar. Nothing else, Sargent said.
Strawberry Plains Audubon is an ideal place for the Hummer Bird Study Group to gather and both band and educate.
When feeders and nectar bearing flowers are available hummingbirds return to them during the spring migration and again on their way back south in the fall.
The hummingbirds at Strawberry Plains have already begun fall migration and require lots of natural nectars, insects, and other foods to build up a sufficient storage of subcutaneous fat for their 500-mile flight across the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Sargent asks people who see a hummingbird after November 15 at their sugar-water feeder to call him. Contact Strawberry Plains Audubon at 662-252-1155 and ask them for Sargent's number or to relay the message.
Top flight ranges between 25 to 35 miles per hour for the Ruby-throated hummingbird. But hummingbirds have super-quick reflexes allowing them to hover and fly in the blink of an eye.
The hummingbird has to have enough stored fat to fly non-stop for 18-24 hours over the Gulf of Mexico after leaving land. Wind currents help, provided they are in the right direction.
Sargent said about 80 percent of all hummers that hatch this year will die by the time they would be one year old. But those that live are really tough and live longer, some on record as old as eight years old, according to the study groups records.
Mother Nature is not kind to the birds that get tired, Sargent added. But those that do survive the trip across the Gulf of Mexico have the genetic makeup to survive the long flights over and again, he said.
The birds make two migrations a year, one south in the fall and one north in the spring.
And hummingbirds do not make the long migration alone, but come into the United States embedded in huge flocks containing many species.
They fly as low as 3,000 feet and as high as 9,000 feet during migration, he said. The large flocks of migrating birds can be seen on doppler radar and are pointed out by television weather casters.
Many millions of birds migrate out together every night headed to Southern Mexico and Central America and embedded in these flights are millions of hummers, he said.
Banded birds make up a tiny fraction of the total hummer population. Sargent said he bands about 800 of them a year and catches about 175 in their own yard that were banded in previous years.
The migrating birds tend to return at the same time or nearly the same day every year, he said.
The annual Hummingbird Migration Celebration at Strawberry Plains in Holly Springs is the main annual fund-raiser for Mississippi Audubon and one of the largest Audubon-sponsored festivals in the United States. It is set to coincide with the Ruby-throated hummingbird's southward migration.

Identix Reports Fiscal Third Quarter Results
Biometrics identity company reports net loss for fiscal 2006 third quarter
MINNETONKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2006--Identix Incorporated (Nasdaq:IDNX) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2006 third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2006. Fiscal 2006 third quarter revenues were $20.8 million, compared to year-earlier third quarter revenues of $20.3 million. Overall fiscal 2006 third quarter gross margin improved to 37% of revenues, compared to the year earlier gross margin of 34%. The net loss for the fiscal 2006 third quarter was $3.8 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss for the fiscal 2005 third quarter of $1.9 million, or $0.02 per share. The fiscal 2006 third quarter net loss includes $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share, in expenses related to the Company's pending merger with Viisage Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:VISG), severance expense of $0.2 million associated with the previously announced reduction in field services staff, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million due to the Company's July 1, 2005 adoption of Statement No. 123R related to the expensing of employee stock options.
Fiscal 2006 third quarter product revenue grew 13%, to $13.7 million, compared to year earlier third quarter product revenues of $12.1 million. Higher software revenue contribution and expanding hardware margins led to fiscal 2006 third quarter product gross margin increasing to 46% of product revenues, compared to year-earlier product gross margin of 40%. As expected, services revenues for the 2006 third quarter declined to $7.1 million, with gross margin of 18% of services revenue, compared to year-earlier services revenues of $8.1 million and services gross margin of 25%. The Company continues to replace the older legacy Identix Live Scan systems that currently require extensive field service costs. The majority of these systems are expected to be replaced in calendar 2006.
The Company's balance sheet remains solid with no debt and $35.1 million in cash, restricted cash and marketable securities as of March 31, 2006, up $2.2 million from December 31, 2005.
Identix President & CEO Dr. Joseph J. Atick commented, "During our fiscal 2006 third quarter, we significantly increased the breadth and depth of our product offerings. The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) testing report identified Identix' newest fingerprint matching technology offering, BioEngine(R) 6, as a top performing, AFIS-Grade algorithm. NIST tested a total of 21 algorithms from 10 vendors on large scale, existing, real-world databases, including U.S. VISIT airport captures, Mexico/U.S. land crossings, and worldwide U.S. Visa applications. We submitted one algorithm, which was shown by NIST to be in the top three in performance in all of the tests. We expect to incorporate our AFIS-Grade algorithm into a complete suite of applications and work flow engines that will enable us to begin to deliver end-to-end criminal and civil AFIS capabilities during the third calendar quarter of 2006. With the addition of a full suite of AFIS offerings, Identix will be even better positioned to compete head to head with the established AFIS companies for some of the largest opportunities in the biometrics space both in terms of revenue dollars and profitability.

"Blood, Sweat and Tear Gas: Challenges to Autocracy in Turkey and the Middle East" - The April 23, 2014, program featured a talk by John VanderLippe, associate professor of history at the New School for Social Research.
VanderLippe's work includes "The Politics of Turkish Democracy" (2005), as well as numerous articles on Turkish Republic. He is the former Editor of the Middle East Studies Association Bulletin and has received grants from the NCSEER, the Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center, the Hoover Institution, and the HR Guggenheim Foundation.
This event was sponsored by The Center for Middle Eastern Dialogue at SUNY New Paltz, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Campus Auxiliary Services.
"Challenges for American Foreign Policy in the Middle East" - The April 16, 2013, program explored the challenges for U.S. policy in the Middle East in 2013 and beyond. Dennis Ross, Ambassador and Counselor at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, examined the implications of the Arab Awakening for the region and U.S. policy; the U.S., Israel, and the Iranian nuclear issue; and what is possible for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Following the lecture, a question and answer session was moderated by Ottaway Fellow and NPR Middle East correspondent Deborah Amos. The program was a part of the university's Distinguished Speaker Series.
"A Passport to the Middle East: A Career of Revolution, Upheaval and Hope" - The April 18, 2013, program featured a talk by NPR Foreign Correspondent Deborah Amos, winner of the 2013 Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Award. Ms. Amos used experiences from her more than 20 years of reporting from the Middle East to reflect on the upheaval in Syria and the impact of the Arab Spring. She considered the monumental changes in the region as a generational event. (More than 60 percent of the population of the Middle East is under 30.) A book signing and reception followed.
"Voices from Iran: Contemporary Literature and Music" - The program focused on the many ways in which recent scholarship, works of fiction and memoirs from or about Iran, whether written originally in English or translated from Persian, is enhancing cultural dialogue between the peoples of the United States and Iran.
The program consisted of readings by Manijeh Nasrabadi from her memoir, "A Far Corner of the Revolution," followed by a lecture by Professor Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak titled, "In Search of Responsive Understanding: Iranians Bring their Story to the World." Celebrated pianist Ariana Barkeshli performed a number of piano pieces from Iranian composers.
Manijeh Nasrabadi is a doctoral student at New York University and Co-Director of the Association of Iranian-American Writers. She holds a B.A. from Brown University and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from Hunter College. Dr. Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak is Professor and Director of the Roshan Center for Persian Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. Ariana Barkeshli is a pianist, music educator, and scholar. She has performed at American universities and at numerous international conferences and cultural events.
Students and faculty in a variety of disciplines benefited from this program on contemporary Iranian Literature and music. In light of much negative political coverage of Iran, this program helped our students, faculty, and community members learn about Iranian people, their experiences, culture, and aspirations.
"Diversity in the Middle East: Commonalities and Polarities" - The conference, led by SUNY New Paltz faculty and students, aimed to deepen understanding of the region through in-depth analysis of economic, political and religious factors. Drawing on knowledge and experience of the region, participants challenged stereotypes and common perceptions. Particular attention focused on commonalities that unite "us" and "them" and on polarities that divide people in the region and create distance between "our" aspirations and theirs. Breakout sessions on the role of women, Turkey, economics and politics, religious diversity and an exhibition of student art and a student-led plenary on youth and the spreading revolution, helped interpret current and recent events. Concurrent sessions ran on the topics of "Upheaval in the Middle East: A Path to Development?" organized by Professors Mona Ali (Economics) and Lewis Brownstein (Political Science).
"Islam and a Just World Order" - The Center presented a talk by Professor Hamid Dabashi of Columbia University. The event included musical entertainment by Yemeni singer, percussionist (dumbek and frame drum) and oud player Ahamed Alrodini and Israeli percussionist Isaac Gutwilik.
"Recent and Future U.S. Policy in the Middle East" - The inaugural event in April 2009 featured a discussion between Professor Fawaz A. Gerges of Sarah Lawrence College and Professor Lewis Brownstein of SUNY New Paltz.

Video: Comedian Russell Peters Says the UFC 'Will Play Itself Out' Due to Oversaturation
(Props: @JayRussellMMA)
Standup comedy superstar and Last Comic Standing judge Russell Peters went on SiriusXM's Todd Shapiro Show last week, and spent a minute discussing his love of boxing and MMA. As Peters sees it, boxing is about to enjoy a resurgence, but the UFC brand is struggling due to oversaturation. I mean, we've been saying the same thing about UFC oversaturation since 2012, but we're just a bunch of keyboard warriors and haters, right? Russell Peters is a guy who's actually done something with his life. Here's what he had to say:
"I always said the UFC will play itself out, they'll oversaturate the market and they'll lose their event status. And that's what's happening lately. They've got a lot of cards on, but you don't know what you're watching. Am I watching an old fight, a rerun? Is this UFC, is this TUF, is this Fight Night? I don't know, they've changed it all, they've given it all these different titles, so you don't know what you're watching anymore…[it's on] every night, and you don't if it's old, new, live, taped. You don't know anymore."Read More DIGG THIS

How to find the right moisturiser for you
BY Suzanne Wangmann body+soul
Suzanne Wangmann reveals how to establish your skin type for the best moisturising results.
Before you choose a moisturiser, you need to establish your skin type: is it dry, oily or combination? Here's an easy test.
Wash your face with a mild cleanser, rinse with warm water, pat dry and leave for 15 minutes. It's normal for skin to feel a little tight for the first few minutes while it produces sebum to recoat the skin.
- You have dry skin if ... after 15 minutes skin is still tight. Use a dry-skin moisturiser.
- You have oily skin if ... after 15 minutes you can feel oil on your fingers after you touch your nose. Oily skin doesn't usually need moisturiser, only sun protection.
- You have combination skin if ... Skin feels oily down the centre of your face but the rest is normal. Apply light moisturiser only where you need it.

What I've done is made a new folder at ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/Action Folders which houses a new empty folder for each script I want to run from the cron. I have then modified the shell script to hardcode that path so I only need to specify the empty folder name as the first argument. I've been advised it might have been a good idea to set that path as a shell variable to avoid typing it each time. In any case to record any radio stream now all I have to do is use this command
...or similar variant. Issuing STOP as the second argument stops the recording so now I have one script to start and stop which is a lot neater.

You Can Start Getting Out of Debt Now
- Wednesday, August 28, 2013
So if you know someone who has successfully gotten out of debt or is well on their way, enlist their support. Most of the time they will be willing to help. And remember, going against the grain and not being like everyone else has its benefits.
Normal people are in debt and will never get out.
Abnormal is a good place to be.
"The plan of the diligent leads surely to plenty, but those who are hasty surely to poverty"- Proverbs 21:5
"I'm Just Not Motivated Enough"
Ok, Ok, What does it take? Do you have to file bankruptcy, have your car repo'ed, or lose your home to finally get motivated enough to stop wasting your money being in debt? That's kind of like waiting 'till you have a heart attack before you decide to quit smoking. At that point, recovery is a much more difficult road.
Solution: You have to get mad! You have to get fed up with the fact that you're paying 20-30% more for your car because you financed it. You have to get angry with all the extra money that could be in your pocket but instead goes to the credit card company because you carry a balance. You have to get psycho because the stress of all the debt you have is sapping so much of the joy out of your life. You have to grow up, get a backbone and decided that you will no longer tolerate it and you will do something about it.
That's what it takes.
Yes, getting out of debt involves some amount of work and discipline, but I've never met anyone who took on that challenge and succeeded that regretted doing it. It's absolutely worth it and will make your life better.
I've also met many people who have been perpetually in debt for decades, who said they always knew they should get out of debt, but never did. They express regret over years of stress, wasted money, and wasted time. They regretted not doing what they knew was best for them because they just never took that step. Don't end up regretting in your later years the way you've lived your financial life.
Do something about it now.
Overcome the excuses.
You can do it.
My wife and I did and I've seen many others do it too. Your life will never be the same!

Feeling Somewhat January Lately Leave a comment
The start of this year has not proved a cold as last year.
Chilly, yes, and reaching subzero in the wee hours most nights, but at the moment very little ice occupies the asphalt streets and concrete pathways around my neighborhood, just in those few and occasional patches that are so situated so that they never get any direct sunshine.

Comparisons, both unapt and inept 8 comments
Interesting how things fall into place sometimes.
See, I'd taken part in an online discussion in the discussion section of another blogger living here in Korea, which I'll get to in a while, and a few few days later I came across an opinion piece in the Washington Post that touched on some of what we were going 'round and 'round about.

Staying Positive 4 comments
Sometimes it's not easy to do.
Let's face it, most parts of the world are pretty crappy places, most of the time, and a lot of the people that you meet spent too much time in the day being assholes, shits, and bastards. Hell, I'm not much better myself. But, if only to provide a bit of balance to the previous post here, we need to observe that the world also has some nice stuff going on, too.
Here is some of mine. Read the rest of this entry »

On the importance of a strong work ethic: "In the end, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and those you love and work hard. I mean, work like there's no tomorrow. Train. Strive. I mean, really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree. Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive. Use the tools of your trade, if it's books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it's yours."
On how best to cultivate your craft: "The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work."
On his life purpose: "I think…to give. In the best way I can, through song and through dance and through music. I mean, I am committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. I believe that to be the reason for the very existence of art. And I feel I was chosen as an instrument to just give music and love and harmony to the world."
On the importance of humility & always striving: "That's why I don't put awards of trophies in my house. You won't find a gold record anywhere in my house because it makes you feel you've accomplished 'look what I've done!' But I always want to feel 'no, I haven't done it yet.'
On his creative process: "I wrote "Will You Be There?" at my house….I didn't think about it hard. That's why it's hard to take credit for the songs that I write, because I just always feel that it's done from above. I feel fortunate for being that instrument through which music flows. I'm just the source through which it comes. I can't take credit for it because it's God's work. He's just using me as the messenger."
On his responsibility to humanity: "I've always believed that the real measure of celebrity success is not just how famous he becomes, but what he does with that fame and fortune."
"I hate to see suffering, I hate to see people in need, and I feel God gave me a gift, and I have to use it responsibly by giving back, and I'll do it until I have pennies left or the good Lord calls me home."
On the wisdom of the heart: "Sometimes the heart is so heavy that we turn away from it and forget that its throbbing is the wisest message of life, a wordless message that says, 'Live, be, move, rejoice, you are alive!' Without the heart's wise rhythm, we could not exist."'
The King of Pop, Michael Joseph Jackson (gifted unto the world on August 29, 1958)
Wow these are some powerful words.

The Minnesota Timberwolves losing streak ended at 4 games with a 100 to 92 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night. The Wolves also snapped an 8 game road losing streak, by rebounding in their 2nd game of their road back to backs with timely shooting down the stretch.
Minnesota, the worst 3 point shooting team in the league, erupted for an 8-14 performance beyond the arc, and a 39-75 overall shooting performance. Luke Ridnour went 9-14 on the night and scored 15 of his game high 21 in the 4th quarter. In a game that saw 9 lead changes and 4 ties throughout, the Wolves were actually ahead at every quarter break except the 1st quarter when they trailed 25-27.
The young Cavs squad never quit and had the game down to a 3 after a Tristan Thompson put back with 1:56 left in the 4th quarter. The Wolves answered on the next possession with a 3 point basket from Luke Ridnour, who came up huge for the Wolves down the stretch.
Both Nikola Pekovic and Ricky Rubio finished the night with double-doubles. Pek had a 16 point, 10 rebound night, while Ricky ended with 13 points and 10 assists.
The Cavs were led by Kyrie Irving, who finished the night with 20 points on 9 of 20 shooting. The Cavs overall shot 51% from the field, but on 28% from 3 point range as they lost their 3rd straight game.
The Wolves will look to extend their win streak to 2 game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night with a 7 o'clock tip at The Target Center. This will be the Wolves last game heading into the All Star Break.

We meet people every day whose bodies are evidently those of men and women long dead, but whose appearance we know through their portraits.Samuel Butler
A gentleman opposed to their enfranchisement once said to me, women have never produced anything of any value to the world. I told him the chief product of the women had been the men, and left it to him to decide whether the product was of any value.Anna Howard Shaw

Women do not find it difficult nowadays to behave like men, but they often find it extremely difficult to behave like gentlemen.Compton Mackenzie
Gallantry to women - the sure road to their favor - is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and wishes, a delight in their satisfaction, and a confidence in yourself as being able to contribute toward it.William Hazlitt
What is this thing between women, like men are a joke that women all told each other long ago but men never get it.Orson Scott Card
God's hand is strange to us. He cares nothing for the moment, nothing for the feeble ambitions of men and women. He sees the road that flows onward forever.Orson Scott Card
I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.Dame Mary Barbara Hamilton Cartland,
Men and women whose early youth was shaped in the ordeal of the Great Depression showed the values formed in that crucible when tyranny threatened a world.Steve Buyer
The only tyrannies from which men, women and children are suffering in real life are the tyrannies of minorities.Theodore Roosevelt
Given the way these mutants treat women in their societies, the women are probably better off in U.S. custody. They treat women like furniture in those countries. If I was a woman, I think Id rather be in an American jail cell than I would be living with one of those-whatever they are over there.Jack Cafferty
I am not satisfied in making money for myself. I endeavor to provide employment for hundreds of the women of my race.Madam C.J. Walker
Women actually do quite well on Wall Street because so much of this business is intuitive.Elizabeth MacKay
One of the biggest mistakes women make in business is that they aren't friendly enough.Charlotte Beers
Peaceful nations must stand for the advance of democracy. No other system of government has done more to protect minorities, to secure the rights of labor, to raise the status of women, or to channel human energy to the pursuits of peace.George Walker Bush
The errors of women spring, almost always, from their faith in the good, or their confidence in the true.Honore de Balzac
I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary maxim. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.Susan B. Anthony
Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.Margaret Mead
My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share.Rita Mae Brown
I asked a Burmese why women, after centuries of following their men, now walk ahead. He said there were many unexploded land mines since the war.Robert Mueller
Men need rule books. Women want men to intuit what they want. And only about 2% of men can do that, and most of them are not heterosexual.Dennis Prager
Faithful women are all alike, they think only of their fidelity, never of their husbands.Jean Giraudoux
England is a paradise for women, and hell for horses: Italy is a paradise for horses, hell for women.Robert Burton
As records of courts and justice are admissible, it can easily be proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed and were a scourge to mankind. The evidence (including confession) upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable. The judges' decisions based on it were sound in logic and in law. Nothing in any existing court was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and sorcery for which so many suffered death. If there were no witches, human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value.Ambrose Bierce

What exactly does VMS do that's special so far as communication goes?
Even on older boxen its able to see tunnel traffic - where is it
pulling it from? Its not avialable via SNMP...
I'd like to avoid VMS and use all open-source tools. Not even for
management, really, just monitoring and such.

Basically, if you want anything other than logging/alerting remotely

Erie Vacation Rentals with Parking Included(19)

Recent Erie Reviews
This was our 3rd year that my sisters and brother and spouses have gone on a mini vacation and each year the place has gotten nicer. Upon arrival my brother in law said each year you top the last one, but I don't think you will top this place. It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room to visit together or go off to yourself if needed. The deck was big and there was enough seating for all of us. The notebook in the kitchen with places to see and places to eat was very helpful, it included menus and directions. We ate at the Freeport restaurant our first evening and was amazed at the quality and quantity of the food. We went back for breakfast the day we left and was also pleased. The owners were very helpful, answering any questions we had and responded quickly. We hope to visit again.
Amazing place to stay!
We found this place last minute for a bachelor party weekend and it was AWESOME! We couldn't ask for more in a place to stay. All we needed was food and beverages. Everything else was there. Full working kitchen was amazing when cooking for 20+ people. Huge fireplace, plenty of seating, and best of all 120 inch projection screen with surround sound for all the Penn State fans to watch the game! The place was clean, and very well maintained. Ryan, the owner, was amazing as well. He was there for whatever we needed, very accommodating, and really did a great job handling a big rowdy group like ours. While there we took advantage of the place as much as we could and ate all our meals at the lodge. We did go to Peak n Peak ski resort for the Zip Line which was also fun. I would highly recommend the Wilderness Lodge to anyone, especially a big group. It exceeded what i had expected for our group and i was greatfull for the hospitality we received. We have already talked about coming back and bringing the wives/kids/girlfriends. Great place, great people, good times. Joe DIvell
City Family
This was our first trip to Lake Erie as a family - I honestly don't know where to begin because we had such an amazing stay. Lynne was an amazing cottage host -she answered all of our questions immediately (I had a lot of them) and she made suggestions on activities tailored to our family. We had the most beautiful accommodations and scenery - it truly was the serene atmosphere we needed to escape the busy city life! My boys were begging us to stay forever, I wish we could've! Favorite activities: collecting beach glass, painting rocks on the picnic table at sunset, swimming in a creek next to lake, building sandcastles, walking to mazza winery and tasting fabulous wine (the kids tasted sparkling juice!), walking my baby to sleep along the shoreline, a private fishing charter and the best tasting fried fish for dinner that night, and the list goes on! Bottom line - rent from Lynne if you want a five-star feel on a private, rustic beach in the middle of wineries! Thanks Lynne!!!!

how can i get info about who did this and which program or prosses is using this port?
how can i get any inpho about the attacker??
