Honorary… hmmby martin
One of my favourites on CBC radio has pretty well always been The Vinyl Cafe. I learned today his old stomping ground gave Stuart an Honorary Doctorate.
43 years after barely graduating, Stuart receives an honorary doctorate form his alma mater, Concordia University. (quote taken from The Vinyl Cafe Facebook feed)
Don't get me wrong, I love Stuart and I think it's a nice, and entirely appropriate thing for him to be honoured for all that he does in preserving Canadian identity in our country. We could use another few of him in various forms in our cultural landscape. If we spent a little more time lauding the people who truly make a difference for the good in the country, it'd be a better place for sure. My issue is in how we choose to do this lauding.
For the record, Loreena McKennitt was the honourary recipient of a degree at my commencement.
Well… okay.
I remember at the time I was tickled to have her there because she remains a favourite of mine to listen to on cold winter days, but I guess it was more that I was in the company of Canadian celebrity than I wanted to share my accomplishment. Something about celebrity=recognition as the highest level of academic achievement is… somehow wrong. It sticks in my gut. It sorta minimizes the idea of a commencement ceremony.
Way, way back, when I decided that I wanted to go back to school having dropped out at the start of my final year of high school, I went back to see my old guidance counselor about getting re-registered. At that time, I'd been out of the system for about three or four years, and I was told that I qualified for four "maturity credits". Basically, they were going to give me a free term. I didn't have to take those four credits to graduate, and no harm done. At the time, I was like, "Wouhou!", but it was a feeling that got replaced by a creeping unworthiness. I felt like I'd duped the system somehow. Or at least like I duped my system. And this wasn't any Doctorate. This was just a few totally insignificant credits. I got them presumably because I had earned them through the "school of hard knocks". Thing is, while it can be argued that what I'd done in those years resulted in learning that was equal or greater than the amount of learning I'd have done in the same time at school, the math doesn't work out even. Life accomplishment doesn't equate evenly with school accomplishment. They're two different things. I didn't pull all nighters and study madly and sacrifice social engagements and whatever they do these days to earn four high school credits. I just didn't.
Similarly, Stuart, Loreena and all the others like them (hell, Billy Joel, Steve Jobs, Fred Rogers, Neil Gaiman come immediately to mind) didn't do the work needed to get a PhD (or whatever degree they 'earned'). And believe me, I am well aware of how much work that can be having helped and watched my wife go through the process. It's no small thing. It comes at no small expense (and you can name your expense–time, money, stress, sacrifice). I don't think any recipient of an honourary doctorate deserves it. Maybe that's why they condition it with 'honourary'. The University knows that it's a bunch of hogwash. Hell, it seems some recipients know it too… Stuart must know it given that he acknowledges he "barely graduated" in the first place. I know he meant that remark as a lighthearted quip… that's how he rolls. But would he honestly have ever gotten a PhD the traditional way? Sure, maybe–he was, after all a professor for journalism at one point… somehow. Fact remains, he didn't do the PhD. These degrees go on record. They're there, and these folks stand with the other honoured graduates. In fact, they stand above. They're there to inspire those who are also commencing. And yet they didn't do the work.
Again, it could be argued, much as it was in my case, that all the work they've done, all the great deeds and accolades and contributions they've made in whatever way to the world they inhabit are worthy of a degree. Maybe they are. I still don't know. It just doesn't feel equal to me.
There's people out there who work ridiculously hard every day doing their thing. No one ever gives them an academic degree for it. There's no accolades for them, save what might exist in their own small corner of life. I'm sure they work every bit as hard as any of these celebrities at their craft–honing it, being the best they can be. They don't have degrees; we as a society think that's prefectly appropriate and right. After all, they didn't go through the system that bestows such an honour. Theirs is the honour of self-creation in the best possible way, acknowledged by the people nearest them. That's as it should be. Their honour is no less essential in a big picture kind of way, it's just not academic… so no degree.
Sigh. Maybe it's my cynicism. Maybe it's that my little Honours BA is the probably the best thing I'll ever do with myself, and the last thing anyone will ever offer me an accolade for, so I don't want it washed down in any way. Maybe these honourary degrees and doctorates are just an extension of their own journeys and they really did earn them. Someone thinks so.

John Harrigan: Got a nice fire going? Well, then cue the snow
First, the living room fireplace. I keep cedar kindling and finely split hardwood handy and had a good fire going in not more than a minute.
This is where the Marx Brothers act takes place. The Fish and Game Room stove and the stove in the back shop are on the same chimney, and the only way to kick the frigid air in the butt and move it up is to get fast and very hot fires going in both stoves. To do this, I stuff both fireboxes with crumpled-up newspapers and very fine kindling and attempt to light both at once - theoretically impossible - but I manage (envision Daffy Duck) and with a whoosh, Jack Frost takes a trip to the moon.
Why do we do these things?
Even with a good, fast fire it takes an hour to get the camp warmed up enough so we can take our heavy mitts off while we stand around like idiots our breaths almost obscuring the situation, the camp creaking and groaning as the frozen timbers struggle out of the cold's hold.

1. A camera comprising:
a charge-coupled device (CCD), the CCD having an anti-stokes phosphor bound to the light receiving surface thereof; and
a housing surrounding the CCD and defining an aperture through which, in use, light can pass and be received by the phosphor.

4. A camera according to claims 1, comprising at least one filter positioned between the aperture and the phosphor on the CCD.
5. A camera according to
6. A camera according to
7. A camera according to
[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. � 119 to European application number 00309030.5, filed on Oct. 13, 2000.
[0002] 1. Field Of The Invention
[0003] This invention relates generally to a camera employing a charged coupled device (CCD).
[0004] 2. Background Of The Related Art
[0005] This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of art which may be related to various aspects of the present invention which are described and/or claimed below. This discussion is believed to be helpful in providing the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of the various aspects of the present invention. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art.
[0006] Many such cameras are available, however, very few are sensitive to particular wavelengths. For example, there is a need to provide a camera for use in the design and manufacture of optical communications high wavelength infra-red systems, but very few cameras which are sensitive to the wavelengths at which such systems work are presently available. The cameras that are available are usually bulky and expensive, making their application in many environments at best impractical, and at worst impossible.
[0007] The present invention may be directed to one or more of the problems set forth above.
[0008] Certain aspects commensurate in scope with the originally claimed invention are set forth below. It should be understood that these aspects are presented merely to provide the reader with a brief summary of certain forms the invention might take and that these aspects are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Indeed, the invention may encompass a variety of aspects that may not be set forth below.
[0009] There is a need to provide a camera that is inexpensive and small, yet which is sensitive to particular infrared wavelength ranges.
[0010] In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a camera comprising:
[0011] a charge-coupled device (CCD), the CCD having an antistokes phosphor bound to the light receiving surface thereof; and
[0012] a housing surrounding the CCD and defining an aperture through which, in use, light can pass and be received by the phosphor CCD.
[0013] The foregoing and other advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings in which:
[0014]FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a camera according to the present invention;
[0015]FIG. 2 is a schematic side view of a charge-coupled device (CCD) employed in the camera of FIG. 1; and
[0016]FIG. 3 is a graph showing the spectral response of an example camera according to the present invention.
[0017] One or more specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In an effort to provide a concise description of these embodiments, not all features of an actual implementation are described in the specification. It should be appreciated that in the development of any such actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developers' specific goals, such as compliance with system-related and business-related constraints, which may vary from one implementation to another. Moreover, it should be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking of design, fabrication, and manufacture for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure.
[0018] The term �anti-stokes� refers to an emission process which does not conform to Stoke's second law that a material's fluorescence emission is lower in photon energy than the absorbed photon energy. many instances of such effects have been observed in many material systems, but perhaps the most efficient of these are from pairs of non-identical triply ionized rare earth ions, e.g. Er3+, Yb3+ doped into a crystalline host.
[0019] The anti-stokes phosphor may be sensitive to light in the wavelength range of 1500 to 1610 nm and preferably emits in the range of 950 nm to 1075 nm. Anti-stokes phosphors of this type have high efficiency, and they can be married to relatively inexpensive CCD's which are sensitive to the aforementioned emitting wavelength range.
[0020] The camera may comprise one or more filters positioned between the aperture and the phosphor coating on the CCD in order to reject ambient light to which the CCD is normally sensitive. The phosphor may be Y2O2S:ErYb, YF3:ErYb, NaYF4:ErYb, La2O2S:ErYb, or a related up conversion matrix for example. The phosphor may be bound to the CCD by an adhesive such as an isobutyl/butyl acrylic copolymer.
[0021] Turning now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a camera 1 according to the present invention. The camera 1 has a housing 2 which contains a charge coupled device (CCD) 3 having a phosphor coating 4 attached thereto by a binder 5 (see FIG. 2). The camera housing 2 has an aperture 6 which receives light from an object to be viewed (not shown). The light then passes through one or more filters 7 and 8 which filter out unwanted incident light before it reaches the phosphor 4.
[0022] In this example, the phosphor is Y2O2S:ErYb and is particulate, having a particle size range in the range of 5 μm to 9 μm and a density of 4.1 g/cm3. This is an anti-stokes phosphor which has emission peaks which are excitation dependent, but which can either be in the visible range or at approximately 985 nm. The latter peak is a more dominant photon process that is of significantly higher efficiency, yet it still maintains a fast enough response time to complement that of the camera and provide a lag free image.
[0023]FIG. 3 is a graph showing the spectral response from the exemplary camera of FIGS. 1 and 2 using a system with a resolution of 4 nm. This is based upon the provision of a CCD sensitive to emissions from the phosphor in the range of 950 nm to 1075 nm. it can be seen that, although there is not a flat spectral response in the operating range of the camera, this is not important for imaging purposes. The level of detection is influenced by the non-linear response of the phosphor with respect to incident illumination. However, this response of the phosphor with respect to incident illumination has the benefit of emphasizing brighter regions of the image. The sensitivity of the camera can be as low as 2 μJ/cm2. The phosphor camera cannot be readily used as a measure of incident power or as a discriminator between adjacent laser wavelengths due to the non-uniform spectral response. The camera therefore can provide a good level of light detection in the general range of 1500 nm to 1610 nm, the operating range of many telecommunications devices such as optical fiber and free space optical communication networks as well as medical and biological imaging applications.
[0024] While the invention may be susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments have been shown by way of example in the drawings and have been described in detail herein. However, it should be understood that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular forms disclosed. Rather, the invention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following appended claims.

Check these out, too...
Your friend Mallory is crushing on Brad, who scored the
winning goal at last weekend's soccer game. Elizabeth's oohing and ahhing over
Ryan, a Justin Beiber look-alike. As for you? You've avoided spilling your
secret crush for weeks, but the pressure is on.
Will your friends flip when you 'fess that you've got a
thing for Jay—the tall, skinny, shy guy from your creative writing class?
Mallory and Elizabeth have always called him "Jay Bird," "Bird Boy" or just
But unlike them, you know that Jay is an amazing writer, a
competitive dirt bike racer and can quote every line from Meet the Parents
(your all-time favorite movie). He's not into varsity sports or social stuff at
school, so people think he's a loner. But he's totally not! Will your girls
give him a chance? Or will your rep be wrecked when they learn you dig a dork?
Do friends let friends date dorks?
First off, don't let your buds set limits on you—or the guys
you like. It's one thing if they're concerned your new dude is a real dud (he
holds the running record for most days in detention) or a total heartbreaker
(he's dumped his last six GFs like a bad habit).
But if he's nice as pie (despite being branded a geek), your
friends need to let you decide if he's worthy of your adoration. Friends look
out for each other—but friends also let friends crush on guys regardless of
their social status.
Going public with your crush
If your friends only know your crush as "Geekmeister,"
introductions are in order. Invite him to join you and your BFF at lunch or
walk home with you guys after school. Start slowly, and keep it simple. Don't
invite him to the huge Valentine's bash, where he doesn't know a soul, and expect
everything to be perfect. That's a lot of pressure on both of you.
Instead, introduce him to your most accepting, laid-back
bud. If they hit it off, she'll be able to pass along a positive word to your
other pals. Hopefully, word will spread faster than the story of him sitting on
PB&J and then…never mind.
If your friends give your geeky love god a chance but still
aren't into him, let it go. Balance outings with the gals and time with your
guy. Don't force him on your friends. And don't waste your time trying to
persuade them to like him. The more you try to "sell your crush, the more
suspicious your friends will probably become. If you have to continually tell
people how great someone is, they might think you're only trying to convince
As Jenna, 14, explains, "A relationship should be between a
girl and a guy. Not a girl, a guy and her friends!" But you can't go pushing
your friends away just because they don't think your guy is the catch of the
season. Alienating your friends for your heartthrob is never a good idea—geek
or no geek.
Do geeks rule?
As Julie, 12, says, "My friends think my crush is weird.
Like, at a dance, he grabbed strings of the paper star decorations and wore
them around his neck and danced around like a fool all night long. My friends
made fun of him, but I like that he knows how to have a good time without
worrying about what someone might say about him."
It's great to appreciate guys who don't give a rat's tail
about what people think. They tend to do different, fun stuff. And who knows?
You might find out you'd much rather spend Saturday afternoons sifting through
classic records in thrift shops than doing the same old mall thing with the
gang for the gazillionth weekend in a row.
Just remember, it's not like you have to marry the guy or
anything. Passing up the chance to hang with someone new (and nerdy) because
you're worried you won't look cool is, well, totally uncool. Go ahead—ask your
misunderstood crush to the homecoming dance. He just might be the next Joe Jonas….and
he just might be your new beau!

Celebrating Diversity #2Welcome to the 2nd edition of Celebrating Diversity! This series of articles aims to bring you outside of your comfort zone in terms of Art and showcase from a wider range of galleries to embrace the diverse nature of the submissions to deviantART. Not only are we stepping you outside your normal 'go to' galleries - but we as the writers of this fantastic series, are visiting places that we wouldn't normally go to as well.
As humans , we are all different. We have so many types of all sorts of things in the world such as cars, jobs, flavours of crisps, hair colours and so on - as Charles De Gualle once said, " How can you govern a country that has 246 different types of cheese?" It's a challenge to embrace so many things, but one that we should try hard to accept.
Urban Exploration #5 Urban Exploration: The Motives?
Back in November, Bradley Garrett discussed the motives and politics behind urban exploration at a talk in Brighton. The article afterwards opened up my eyes when I read it, whilst Bradley's views are strong and many disagree with them - he does have an underlying point. "We have a right to explore public infrastructure. Anything funded or maintained (or not maintained) by tax money belongs to us and we should be able to use it as we like as long as we don't permanently damage it or cause harm to the citizen body." What are your thoughts on the legalities and permissions of Urban Exploration? Do you agree or disagree with Bradley? Have you been 'caught out' Urban exploring in the past?

In the news this week there has been a spotlight on Karren Brady, a photographer who has won a copyright ruling. The news article itself is interesting but the cautions that it turfs up for the future and current generations of photographers are slightly more concerning. The general feeling that has started to develop is that if you have assistance with setting up a shot, making a scene, posing a model and making up a person for example, those people may well have rights to your work. This is also being debated with regards to post-production and if you get somebody else to edit your work. What are your thoughts on this? And when attributing this to the deviantART community, what

Photography Troubleshooting: How to work with MistGetting the camera out, and the scarf, hat and gloves, and heading into a misty morning or hazy evening can result in the best kind of photographs. Atmospheric, moody and ultimately a fine example of whatever current season you're in - these kinds of shots present themselves at awkward moments so it's vitally important to be prepared. In previous years I've got up at the crack of dawn and ventured out with all the excitement of a young child on their first day of school - only to come home with a grazed knee and broken felt tip pens. Or rather, washed out, blurred and altogether rubbish photographs.
Fog is a popular mist - we often get confused and just term it all as fog or all as mist. It's not quite like that. It's all about the visibility, if we can see less than 1km through it then it's fog. If we can see between 1 - 2 km then it's mist. So when is the best time to catch these ground level clouds at their best? Fo

If you're like me, Autumn often arrives all at once and it can be tricky to know how to make the best of the season before it's over. A couple of days of high winds and rain can ruin the best Autumnal captures by ripping the leaves down before you've even got the chance to snap - so it's great to be prepared for the season.
Leading lines are particularly useful. Yet so many people quote ' Look for leading lines...' or 'You've captured the leading lines here perfectly' and really do we even know properly what they are? The purpose of a leading line is to draw a viewers eye into the photograph and then on a journey - through it. Think of it as a visual narrative. They can be intentional and ind
Photography Troubleshooting:How to Photograph FoodMany of us lament about a lack of subjects to Photograph - and almost just as many of us create something on a daily basis that with a bit of presentation, can look like a masterpiece. Food is one of the most accessible Photographic subjects and if you've no idea where to start, hopefully this article will give you a few pointers. Firstly, you don't need an expensive D-SLR in order to capture some of the food masterpieces you see around.
By PaSt1978
The above was taken with a Sony Cybershot which is a good quality point and shoot camera. As you can see, the focus is crisp, the quality is good and the lighting is adequate. It works well - and it's easy enough to achieve whether you have a D-SLR or something smaller.
Before you start cooking - get prepared. It's the simplest easiest thing to say and you'll likely roll your eyes at such a mundane instruction but there have been many times when I've found mysel

"Creativity is knowing how to hide your sources"
- Albert Einstein
I don't know about you, but Light Painting has to be really unique and awesome in order to impress me. So when I stumbled across the work of Darren Pearson aka Darren Twin - I was astounded at the creativity and simple methods used to create his conceptual photographic pieces. Darren creates LED pictures of Skeletons Skateboarding, dancing and living - exploring what the Mail Online has termed as the bare bones of our daily lives. And it really is precisely that. Darren takes the ordinary, the mundane and the normal of everyday life and lights it up by night by painting bones. Check it out for yourself. That prompted me to go searching for some of my favourite light painted pieces here

Darkroom Exposed: Digital OverlaysDarkroom Exposed is a series of articles highlighting talented deviants, noteworthy art and helpful information all about the Photography > Darkroom gallery on dA.
This issue features digital overlays, which are created by layering two or more images (including but not limited to texture and colour layers) to create a final image, mimicking the effect of exposing photographic paper to two or more negatives and/or filters during printing. This differs from photomanipulations, where elements of numerous images are separately extracted and combined to make a final image.

MovemberAbout Movember
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the broken relationships between men and their razors. Donning their mustaches, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men's health - specifically prostate cancer.
Since its humble beginnings in Melbourne, Australia, Movember has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.9 Million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to participate with formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and the Czech Republic. In addition, Movember is aware of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas supporting the campaign and men's health cause across the globe, from Russia to Dubai, Hong Kong to Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, and everywhere in between.
No matter the country or city, Movember will continue to work to change established habits and attitudes men have about their health, to ed
Celebrating Diversity #13In this issue of Celebrating Diversity, I would like to remind you of an amazing feeling...when you see a piece of art created in a medium or genre that you have little or no experience of working in, and it feels like you're witnessing something magical, something beyond your comprehension.
It's wonderful to revel in the joy of How do they do that? and find inspiration in the creations of other artists. So I challenge you to take a step outside of the galleries that you regularly browse and immerse yourself in the experience of indulging in something new.
How do you celebrate diversity?
Do you regularly browse, comment on and collect art that's wildly different from what you create?
Do you watch artists who use mediums that you don't use in your own

Lol no trauma only fun with firearms. I will try the caffeine idea though. I am not trying to strangle anything and I can hit anything short range no problem as well as skeet. It is the long range I can't seem to get
Try 60/40 w weak hand - ensure clean release. firm but not to the point of shaking if that makes sense. W fixed sights, I was amazed how much my grip influenced point of impact.
Some times it's the simple things, when was the last time your vision was checked ? It may not be you...
I am a total wacko, so I had to learn to weave to counter act the shake. Now I can hit the bullseye every time. Confidence plays an important part in steadiness. Start with closer targets for a while and at each shoot move the target out a few extra feet. Soon, you will be hitting them at 1000 feet with a deadly eye and a steady hold.
It isn't gripping too tight I don't think. Are there ways to generally slow down the body for longer distances? I know I wont be perfect but anything is better than nothing.
Insert witty comment here......
Veritas Aequitas
Vincit Omnia Veritas
Vincere est Vivere
"When I shoot bullseye pistol matches, for example, I breath twice between each shot. As the second breath is being let out, I raise the pistol and bring the sights into alignment. As soon as the breath is out, I perfect the sight alignment as I break the trigger. Then I inhale and lower the pistol. There is a similar pattern for most shooting that requires more accuracy than speed."http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110812164747AAPuiiI
Movement or wobble while holding the gun has nothing to do with jerking the trigger. FIGHTING the movement has everything to do with jerking the trigger. The wobble is probably less an issue than you want to make it out to be. Relax, breathe, sight picture, sight alignment, trigger squeeze, trigger control, proper follow through. The shot will be pretty darn accurate when you let it happen. Forcing the shot will really screw up your accuracy.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.

Browser anonymization functions compared
Setting Boundaries
Firefox developers have equipped the browser with a completion feature for forms; it stores 10 values by default. Users can disable this function completely in the configuration dialog if needed. This is also where you can tell Konqueror to send do-not-track messages. On request, the KDE browser draws a frame around incompletely loaded images and prevents automatic reloading of pages and redirection to other websites. An ad filter blocks URLs that are on a blacklist. Users can maintain a blacklist themselves or reference a list on the web.
Konqueror only accepts cookies signed by the server, but it can also reject cookies completely, prompt the user, and delete cookies on exiting. Session cookies are blocked separately for selected pages; exceptions are allowed. Cookies are managed so that stored data is grouped neatly by domain name; a search box helps locate a candidate. Just one click lets you view all the data for a cookie; however, users can only delete a single cookie, or all at once.
In the somewhat rudimentary extension management feature, users can switch extensions on and off and set up special rules. During operation, Konqueror also alternates between the KHTML and WebKit engines, and the spell checker relies exclusively on local dictionaries. The browser cannot delete web storage and loads web fonts as a matter of principle. It does not have a geolocation API or a privacy mode.
Fear of Persecution
The default state of all the test candidates is frightening. To surf fairly anonymously, users themselves have to work their way through a jungle of setup dialogs. Even if you have defined all possible restrictions, the browser will still readily reveal a huge amount of information, and privacy mode does not earn that name in any of the programs: In general, the browsers simply delete all data on exit. Some browsers can camouflage the underlying technologies or rename them.
Chrome turned out to be particularly talkative. It is difficult to stop it from phoning home. Epiphany lags behind the competition; with so few configuration options, users will find it difficult to keep the browser quiet.
Although Firefox offers much more in the settings dialogs, it does not impress with its clarity. On the plus side, Firefox does have thousands of add-ons that help harden the browser. Konqueror in particular lacks particular settings for newer web technologies, such as web storage.
Users who want to surf anonymously, should resort to Firefox and spend some time setting it up with native features and installing anonymizing add-ons.

adidas Men's USA Anthem Navy T-Shirt 3 3
Sizing is off - by a whole lot! I ordered a mens XL. This was supposed to be a mens X-Large, that is what the tag said. It looked small when I took it out of the package.I put it over my head, peeled it past my shoulders and it barely reached my waist.I showed my wife and daughter - that got a good laugh from them. Didn't want to bother with the hassle of returning it, so I gave it to my teenage daughter, she enjoys it as a night shirt. This is the first time I had a problem with an adidas clothing product, this is something that I normally only encountered with Nike merchandise. Adidas better do a better job of QC. July 13, 2014
Which team? This is supposed to be a US Team shirt, but the description says there is an 'Italy' wordmark across the front. Doesn't make sense to me. June 26, 2014
GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Team USA Like the T-shirt, high quality and good poly-cotton mix... should stand up well. June 22, 2014

/// Voice: West Coast, Meet East Coast
October 1, 2012 | Media Week
This summer, I hosted a trip for Madison Avenue's digital elite— and Brooklyn's too—to meet the leaders of Silicon Valley on the tech industry's Northern California turf. The idea was to foster a closer relationship between influential ad buyers, strategists, creators, innovators and sellers separated by 3,000 miles and distinct cultural histories, yet united by a dedication to engage and improve the lives of consumers. The excursion was delightful. Tom Bedecarr

My car has a hard time keeping traction already as it is, launching it at the strip is not only dangerous but most likely will be spinning tires the whole way down on street tires.
People can take that as a "excuse" but I'm over the whole pissing match with other companies. I'll give credit when due and I'll post results/dynos/runs when I want. My car isn't going to be apples to apples to any company car so from my point of view, I frankly don't care.
Yeah, it took a while but it's done. That's all I care about. I'm sure other companies will come out with a setup like mine but I like being the first. There is TONS and TONS of work that goes into my build, it's not a simple "hey lets lower the compression and bump up the boost" If it was, You would see a bunch of these little monsters flying around. I'm happy with the choices I have made with the car and I hope people can respect that.
I built the car for myself, my own enjoyment, not anyone elses. Do I have dynos? Yes. Do I have 60-130 runs? Yes. Do I footage of my car killing other cars? Yes.
Am I going to post any of them.. Nope.
Good for you. However I'd be anything you would be posting results of your car if they were impressive.

UNTAPABLE (No. 1) – Winchell Thoroughbreds' Untapable galloped two miles shortly after 6 o'clock Saturday morning with Angel Garcia aboard for trainer Steve Asmussen.
The undefeated filly continued to impress Saturday as Executiveprivilege pulled away from the field in the Grade 1, $250,000 Chandelier at Santa Anita. The Kentucky-bred daughter of First Samurai overcame a slight bobble at the start to add another victory to her resume.
Godolphin's unbeaten Certify stormed clear in Friday's Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket, the first race on the new "Road to the Kentucky Oaks" scoring system.
Trained by Mahmood al Zarooni and confidently ridden by Mickael Barzalona, the daughter of Elusive Quality was nestled near the rear, angled to the inside for room, and unleashed a powerful late kick.
Certify drew off by 4 1/2 lengths, extending her record to a perfect four-for-four. In the process, she earned 10 points on the Road to the Kentucky Oaks.
The official event logos for Kentucky Derby 139 and Kentucky Oaks 139 were released Tuesday (Sept. 18) by Churchill Downs, and officially licensed apparel and headwear featuring the new marks are now available for purchase online at www.KentuckyDerbyStore.com.
Brereton Jones' homebred Believe You Can wore down pace-setting Broadway's Alibi inside the eighth pole and drew off to win the 138th running of the $1 million Kentucky Oaks by three-quarters of a length before a crowd of 112,552 on Friday afternoon at Churchill Downs.The attendance was the second largest in Oaks history, surpassed by only the 116,046 on hand for the 2010 running.The Kentucky Oaks victory was the second for Brereton Jones and trainer Larry Jones, who teamed to win the 2008 Run for the Lilies with Proud Spell.
A history-making 138th running of the $1 million Kentucky Oaks (Grade I) at Churchill Downs Racetrack on Friday, May 4, concluded with record total wagering, near-record attendance of 112,552 and an historic victory by jockey Rosie Napravnik, who rode Brereton C. Jones's Believe You Can to victory to become the first woman to win America's premier race for 3-year-old fillies.
JOHN VELAZQUEZ (Broadway's Alibi, second) – "I think she handled the track OK but the first time over a track, she paddles a lot. She lost some momentum. The ground broke away from her. I don't think the distance hurt her, I think the track didn't help. She still ran a huge race."JAVIER CASTELLANO (Grace Hall, third) – "The track was playing for speed today. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for me. They didn't come back to me. I was third best today."
WINNER'S QUOTESROSIE NAPRAVNIK (Jockey) – "It's unbelievable. I'm just so happy and so grateful to be here. There's a lot of people that are a big part of me getting to this and winning this race and I just can't thank everybody enough. "I cried a little but I don't think I'm done crying yet. "Dream trip, absolutely.
Mark Bacon and Dana Wells' Silver Max went to the front early and never was threatened in winning the 21st running of the $238,200 American Turf Presented by RAM (Grade II) by 2 ¾ lengths over Travel Advisory on Friday afternoon at Churchill Downs. Ridden by Rafael Bejarano and trained by Dale Romans, Silver Max won his third consecutive race on turf, including a score in the Transylvania (GIII) last month at Keeneland.
Morton Fink's Successful Dan wore down Fort Larned in deep stretch to win the ninth running of the $337,800 Alysheba Presented by Besilu Stables (Grade II) by a length in track record time Friday afternoon at Churchill Downs. Successful Dan ran the 1 1/16 miles on a fast main track in 1:41.04 to break the track record of 1:41.27 established by Brass Hat on July 8, 2007 and shattered the stakes record of 1:42.32 established by Limehouse in 2005.
Jockey Rosie Napravnik became the first woman rider to win the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks on Friday when piloting Believe You Can to victory over a stubborn Broadway's Alibi at Churchill Downs.
Jill Baffert's Contested swept past Good Deed in upper stretch and romped to a 4 ¾-length victory in stakes record time to win the 57th running of the $110,000 Eight Belles Presented by Xerox (Grade III) for 3-year-old fillies on Friday afternoon at Churchill Downs. Contested, a Kentucky-bred daughter of Ghostzapper out of the Arch mare Gold Vault, ran the seven furlongs on a fast main track in 1:21.19. The previous stakes record was established by Roxelana (1:21.97) in 2000.
William S. and Graydon Patterson's Juanita ran past 2-5 favorite Plum Pretty at the head the stretch and then held off St. John's River by two lengths to win the 27th running of the $327,000 La Troienne Presented by Steelcase and ORI (Grade II) for fillies and mares Friday afternoon.
BELIEVE YOU CAN – Brereton Jones' homebred Kentucky Oaks heroine Believe You Can came out of the race in great shape, trainer Larry Jones said while accepting congratulations at his barn early on Kentucky Derby Day.
"Boy, she's wanting treats and she thinks she deserves some reward!" Jones said as his filly poked her head out of her stall. "She gets all kind of peppermints, carrots, sweet potatoes, you name it. Whatever she wants she's pretty well going to get.
AMIE'S DINI – While she may be a blue-collar $3,000 sales purchase, Oaks contender Amie's Dini is a bit of a princess. Following today's 1 ½ mile gallop, the Ron Moquett trainee hit the spa and was bedded down for breakfast. "She really enjoys the spa," Moquett said. "Actually, she likes all the finer things, the spa, the respiratory treatments, the massages. She likes all the things a lady likes." Jon Court will have the mount in Friday's Oaks from post 13.
AMIE'S DINI – Co-owner Mike Walker said the Fantasy Stakes (GII) runner-up Amie's Dini had an easy jog this morning after the renovation break and will school in the paddock during Thursday's program at Churchill Downs. The $3,000 sales purchase drew post 13 of 14 for the Oaks.
The Fantasy Stakes (GII) runner-up Amie's Dini galloped 1 ½ miles this morning for trainer Ron Moquett, the third trainer who has been part of the filly's development. She began her career with Bernell Rhone in Oklahoma last fall and was conditioned by Kellyn Gorder in her first Churchill attempt in October.
"I was happy to get her in our barn and she keeps improving," Moquett said. "All the guys who trained her before me had a hand in her being what she is today. I give them credit, too."
The $3,000 rags-to-riches story of the 2012 Oaks lineup Amie's Dini jogged a mile and galloped 1 3/8 miles this morning after the renovation break following a day off Sunday. Arkansas-based trainer Ron Moquett said the morning's warmer temperatures were right up their alley.
"We're from the South," he joked. "We live for the heat."
Co-owner Mike Walker was on hand this morning to watch his star filly and noted, "This filly has been a real thrill. Up to this point, she really hasn't been pushed on at all."
The Martha Washington winner Amie's Dini walked the shedrow today following Saturday's five-furlong workout in 1:05.40. "Full speed ahead now," trainer Ron Moquett said now that her serious training is complete. "It's our job to keep her happy between now and Friday."
Moquett orchestrated a 96-1 upset in the 2006 Stephen Foster (GI) at Churchill Downs with Seek Gold, and appreciates the chance to be back in the limelight.
Mike Walker and Lou Sutterfield's Amie's Dini, working in company with the 3-year-old maiden Cahoots, worked five furlongs in 1:05.40 under jockey Jon Court.
Cahoots, ridden by Greta Kuntzweiler, broke a length in front with Amie's Dini finishing in front at the finish. Fractions for the work were :14, :27.20, :40.80, :53.20 and out in 1:18.40.
Mike Walker and Lou Sutterfield's Amie's Dini galloped 1 ½ miles around the Churchill Downs oval prior to the renovation break Friday. Trainer Ron Moquett said the dark bay daughter of Bandini, who was most recently second behind Mamma Kimbo in the Fantasy (GII) at Oaklawn Park, is scheduled to work Saturday under Jon Court, who will have the mount in the $1 million Kentucky Oaks (GI).

CHATEAULIN, France – Doux is seeking court protection from its creditors after failing to reach an agreement with bankers, according to Reuters.
The company's debt totals 340 million euros ($420.39 million). This includes 200 million euros in Brazil where it bought Frangosul and 140 million euros the company owes to Barclays. Reuters reported that court protection would help convince Barclays to turn some or all of the debt into an equity stake. The move would also absolve the company of Frangosul's debts.
In early May, the company leased Frangosul's poultry processing plants to JBS SA in a renewable 10-year contract.

2 Bedroom, 1 Bath Apartment, Fully Equipped Kitchen, Washer/dryer
Please check out some great rates for December 2014 Only $60 per night or $350 weekly or $800 for a 28 day stay! This cozy and comfortable two bedroom/one bath apartment is attached to my home. I live in the historic district in Apalachicola and a steamboat builder built my house in the late 1800's. In the south, homes were built with the kitchens not part of the main house to prevent the heat going into the home. This apartment at one time was the original kitchen and later attached to the main house. My Mother-In-Law lived in the apartment until she went into nursing care. The apartment has been painted and has new carpet. There is a Queen bed (with new mattress) in the master bedroom. The second bedroom has a full size bed. The bathroom has a walk-in shower. There is also a Queen sleeper sofa in the living room. There is basic cable TV and a DVD player. Free WiFi. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with dishes, pots and pans, flatware, full size refrigerator, stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender. (Sorry, no dishwasher). There is a washer/dryer unit in the apartment. You will have a small private screened in porch. Plenty of free parking, plus there is room to park your boat/trailer. You are minutes to our Battery Park Marina and one block to the beautiful Apalachicola Bay. This is an extremely safe community and the apartment is in a very quiet residential neighborhood. This is a great area to take walks and to ride bikes. It is about a five-minute walk to our quaint downtown shopping area. We have absolutely fantastic restaurants! Our beautiful St. George Island is less than a 15-minute drive. Extra amenities can be provided for reasonable fees; such as daily housekeeping.

About Judi Stokowski
I initially moved to Apalachicola in 1984 and have really enjoyed living here. It is a beautiful area and a very safe community. I have lived in Illinois, South Florida, Central Florida, Washington DC and Atlanta, and I love this part of North Florida. We only have one traffic light in our entire County and very light traffic.
Judi Stokowski purchased this apartment in 1985
Why Judi Stokowski chose Apalachicola
I have traveled frequently for fun and for business. My best memories are places I have stayed that are not so typical. VRBO offers unique places to stay. When we have visitors to our area, they will ask, "where to the locals eat?", or they will comment, "I wish I lived here". I think staying in an apartment gives our guests an opportunity to what it feels like to live in a quaint, quiet and laid back community.
What makes this apartment unique
There are many nice places to stay within my community. My goal is for my guests to have a nice pleasant stay and have a memorable experience. Our beaches are beautiful, our restaurants are fantastic, our Apalachicola Oysters are the best oysters in the World!

LOMBARD, Ill. — The uphill Democratic effort to reclaim the House majority got a boost Thursday as three nominees in key Illinois districts began a coordinated campaign against the GOP budget, led by a legless Iraq war veteran who barrels around Chicago's western suburbs in her Ford F-150 truck trumpeting an economic-fairness agenda.
Tammy Duckworth, whose near-miss campaign for Congress in 2006 made her an icon in the antiwar movement, secured the Democratic nomination for a new congressional district that some argue was drawn specifically for her, part of an aggressive effort by Illinois Democrats to net as many as five seats with the new lines. With a hometown hero, President Obama, at the top of the ticket, Democrats hope that their down-ballot candidates in the Land of Lincoln can draft off of him and collect up to 20 percent of the 25 seats they needed to return the speaker's gavel to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

The Paintball Player and Accountability The time has come!
#1 Guest_MOATI_*
Posted 21 February 2011 - 12:31 PM
I had the opportunity to watch a college paintball tournament this past Saturday. I really enjoyed it for the most part. I got to see some very high level talent and I got to interact more with a players from a portion of the sport I haven't been around for a while.
I'll tell ya...there were a lot of penalties called and most of the ones I saw absolutely should have been called as the rules are laid out.
So everything wraps up, the players head home...and the trashing on the online paintball forums began.
One of the biggest complaints from people were that the refs were making too many calls. I don't understand this at all. I'm not going to quote anybody because I don't want this to be an angry, ranting, unloading on anyone in particular. This is directed to all paintballers (myself and my friends included)to hopefully just make us all stop and think for a moment.
I will generalize some of the justifications that some of the players made on various forums for why they thought the reffing was bad.
- Shooting hot penalties: Players thought they should be given more leeway. That if only 1 or 2 shots were over 300fps then that should be ok. That they shouldn't be penalized unless 1/3 to 1/2 of their shots are over 300 (keep in mind the FPS limit for the event was either 280 or 285). They also felt that they were chrono'd too often and that that wasn't fair.
- Rule enforcement: The refs should only be pulling people out that are shot and don't go out themselves. They shouldn't be enforcing obscure rules even if they are in the rulebook. Refs at previous events didn't enforce them so these refs should be consistent and not enforce them either.
- Penalties and their effect on the outcome of the game: No other sport ever has unsportsmanlike conduct determine the outcome of the game.
I have to be honest, I was appalled at some of the reactions and statements made by some of the paintball players that attended this event. Mind you, to my observations, every single one of these issues was brought up after the event and on forums as opposed to anything being said to the coordinator of the event or anyone else in charge. Let's take a look at each item and I will share my thoughts regarding personal accountability. I'm going to start with the last one.
- Penalties and their effect on the outcome of the game: No other sport ever has unsportsmanlike conduct determine the outcome of the game.
Really? No other sport? Hmmm. I've seen plenty of what looked to be game winning scores in all sorts of sports get called back or nullified due to even the tiniest infractions of the rules. I've seen successful game winners follow missed opportunities because the other team committed a penalty giving the scoring team another chance. I've seen fighters get disqualified instantly on many occasions instantly awarding the win the opponent. In fact, it happens in every single major sport I can think of. The rules are there for a reason and they ABSOLUTELY should be enforced every single time they are violated without regard to who committed the penalty or what it may mean to the outcome of the contest. The only way to be consistent is to call them every time. When we start giving breaks, that's when inconsistency starts.
- Rule enforcement: The refs should only be pulling people out that are shot and don't go out themselves. They shouldn't be enforcing obscure rules even if they are in the rulebook. Refs at previous events didn't enforce them so these refs should be consistent and not enforce them either.
Come on man (ESPN...don't sue me)! All I have to say is this...In anything you do in life...don't EVER lower your standards simply because others have in the past. It is the most foolish argument you will ever have for anything.
- Shooting hot penalties: Players thought they should be given more leeway. That if only 1 or 2 shots were over 300fps then that should be ok. That they shouldn't be penalized unless 1/3 to 1/2 of their shots are over 300 (keep in mind the FPS limit for the event was either 280 or 285). They also felt that they were chrono'd too often and that that wasn't fair.
I have to believe that nobody actually thinks this. That is must have been the anger or embarrassment of their day or something. How could anyone that participates in our sport or cares one bit about it continuing think this way? Safety will always be first and foremost...it must be. The fact is, none of their velocities should have been anywhere near 300fps so how can anyone possibly think that it should be ok if "only a couple" went over 300fps???
Personal accountability...that's what it all comes down to. Many of you will get a glimpse of my own personal philosophy on life here.
Absolutely everything in our lives is a choice. Every single choice we make in life has a reward and a cost. If the reward was bigger than the cost then we usually think of it as a "Good Choice". If the cost was greater than the reward, we often think of it as a "Bad Choice". Being accountable doesn't mean always making good choices and it doesn't mean beating ourselves up over bad choices. It simply means that we recognize that we made a choice. That we had control in the situation. The choice might not change...we may look at the reward, look at the cost, and decide that it's worth it. But it's foolish to believe that you can have just the reward,,,and then suddenly be faced with the cost and want to make it somebody elses fault.
If you don't want to risk shooting hot, then make the choice to not play so close to the limit that spikes can go too high. If you decide that that's not worth the cost...if you need that little extra for some reason, then you MUST accept that you MIGHT go over and that if you get caught you will get penalized. None of this BS about "They checked too much" or "They should give me a break" or "It's not fair".
This story is about tourney paintball...but this issue isn't confined to tourney paintball alone...so let's not get on our high horse about how much better we are. That's not the purpose of this. We all need to recognize the choices we make and take accountability in our lives. Make whatever choices you think are best for you...but when the cost becomes clear, remeber that it was you that made the choice. It will be better for paintball...and it will be better for everything else in your life as well.
Have a great day everyone!

I refed the super 7 NPPL at Tampa Fl. In 2004. I was the chrono judge at the chronic field. I never had the problems your attested to from this past weekend collage tourn. I can't understand why no one today, mostley younger players don't realize the rules are there for there safity and enjoyment of the game. I have seen exactly what your polst talks about in PSP/NPPL tourn. Maybe not a blatent but there are always thoes who will play the game and not say a thing till they got home and then come unglued online. Makes no sense to me. I think if you have a complaint you need to voice it a the time of the event. If I were reffing I would have abided by the rules that were set down at the begining.
I couldn't agree with you more. I did the super 7 NPPL at tampa because I wanted to learn more about tournement speedball. I did, I did such a good job running the chrono on the chronic field that they wanted me to chrono on the main NPPL field for the finals. It was such fun and I learned a lot. But I don't think I will ever want to do it again. Reffing is a hard enough and thankless job no matter how much you get paid for it. Players need to voice there complaints at the event and no after the fact thats kind of a cowards way to do, not honorable at all.

I think ultimatly the issues we see with player's having attitudes about getting called out is that they're embarrased about not being as good as someone else, or getting hit by a lucky shot, or simply making a poor decision on the field. Either way, this is where we need to step back to the roots. If you're playing with just you and your buddy out in the back yard... and if you're a morally good person, when you get hit, you're hit. If your friend say's he thinks you're shooting hot, you should (once again if you're a morally good person) crono your gun. People want to win, and want to say that they're the best, it's human nature to be the awesomest (yeah I made that word up) and best out there. But we're not, and when it's shown in how you play the game, you naturally want to blame the ref or the rules. Bottom line is, go out there, have fun, be honest and moral, and stop blaming the ref/rules for you deciding to run out of cover and get lit up, and please stop turning your marker up to shoot further, it's dumb and not safe.
EDIT add:
Oh, and while I can't change anyone else, I know when I go out on the field, I'm honest and enjoy the game enough to follow the rules.

Anyone who's a Ravens/Steelers/Jets fan can tell you otherwise in a heartbeat.
Its unfortunate that this kind of crap goes on at all, but its certainly not limited to paintball. Take anything competitive and this is what will happen somewhere along the line.
I reffed what was mainly a woodsball field a few years ago and this kind of attitude would appear every now and then, despite the fact that there really was no reward for playing except for the fun and to say "I/We Won". Thankfully, this was only an occasional thing. However, if there was a complaint with the way games were being run, players would say something to us.
When it came to safety though, none of us would budge an inch and we applied the same rules to everyone.
As Brian said about lower or different standards, if you cut breaks for certain things, they'll be expecting them in the future. Perhaps these tempers have been allowed elsewhere and it just so happens to rear its ugly self in a more public event. It makes the community and the sport as an indiscriminate whole look silly and I can't stand it.
If I were to ever be that passive aggressive, I'd hope someone would put a mirror to me.
Posted 21 February 2011 - 04:40 PM
This attitude has it roots in the culture of entitlement that seems to be part of society these days - everyone thinks they're special, that the rules dont apply to them (did anyone complain about penalties given to the OTHER teams? I doubt it...), that the ends justiyfy the means.
Point and click, drive up windows, instant video streaming...everyone wants it NOW, without working, without waiting.
If you dont like a particular rule, you have every right to critisize it or work to change it...you DONT have the right to ignore it... especially as a matter of convenience in the middle of a game.
Posted 21 February 2011 - 06:21 PM
Agree that many people complain in this game and ignore the rules. I absolutely love the campfire conversations with players Im meeting for the first time at big games and they inform me that unless they get gogged or convincingly lit up that the will keep playing when hit, because they drove 3 hours to get here and paid money to play. This is the same dumb philosophy that Stunt touched on, how one thinks they are special despite the fact that others paid the same entry fee and drove longer to get to the event.
All I can really say is that if your reading this and feel that we are being square rule lawyers then shame to you.
Glory is for the weak.
Posted 21 February 2011 - 09:24 PM
When you enter an event, the rules are laid out before you play. By playing, you agree to abide by them. When you don't, you agree to the terms of punishment for breaking them. I think these tournament people forget this fact.
Then again, what I really want to know is who's the loudest complainers of all this? I'm guessing anyone who finished out of the money / prizes. Pardon my cynicism, but I never, ever hear first place complain about the reffing.

Its not a woods thing, its not a tourney thing, its that young players are willing to cheat. A game like paintball works on the honor system... and if people aren't honorable, its just not gonna work.
I consider myself to be a more mature player than a 17 year old, but i will admit i have made a few hits disappear. Honestly, can anyone say they have never wiped a hit? Before condemning me, reflect if you ever have. I realize that its not the way to play, but thats the mentality among young players. When I watch games, and the few times i wiped, they are usually right off the break. We live in the generation of the instant respawn, of no consequences. People who get nailed right off the break think, "Oh, its so early, if I stay in it wont change the game" I have talked to many other kids about this, and most give me similar answers. We need strong players who are honest at the fields. But most of the 'cool guys' at my field are tourney players, and they spend time between games bragging about how easy it is to wipe.
I think in order to try and change the respawn, consequence-less, cheating culture, we have differentiate paintball and videogames in the young players minds. Next, we need the really good guys at the field to stop playing after they get shot, and stop talking about cheating. If we make it completely unacceptable to cheat on the field, or brag about it off the field, maybe the kids will have the guidance to play honestly.

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of our trip to the rockies. We were given a complimentary upgrade to a superior room as we had mentioned upon booking that it was our wedding anniversary.
We were in room 451, which although did not have a balcony as some others did, still had a nice view and was as very quiet, we didn't hear any noise at all during our stay here. Of the 5 hotels we stayed in during our Canada trip, our best nights sleep were had here. We could have slept right through the whole morning if we hadn't set our alarms as it was so quiet and the curtains blocked out all light.
The hotel facilities were great, lovely large jet pool and sauna which we used most evenings.
As mentioned on previous reviews the rooms are quite stuffy as there is no air conditioning but we asked for an extra fan and were brought one within minutes.
We also ate the keg restaurant one night and had a great meal, although it is slightly more expensive than some other restaurants in the area.
We left before the flood crisis occurred so were not affected by this whilst in Banff, however we were caught out in Jasper instead as we had planned on staying at the Chateau lake louise for our last night before travelling back to airport. However due to the road closures we couldn't go which was terribly disappointing.
On the plus side though we did see a mother grizzly bear with her 2 baby cubs on the drive from Banff to Jasper on the Bow Valley Parkway. They had been in the area for about a week or so look out for them just before Peyto lake. We also saw another grizzly bear during our stay and 6 black bears so we were vey happy!
Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Banff.

I received today an envelope, along with a check, from a master calligrapher, which I just had to share. This is the pinnacle of Copperplate/Spencerian lettering, the high art of calligraphic letter forms…… Suffice it to say I don't want … Continue reading

mathematics and art
If you're an artist who's inspired by maths and science, here's a chance to exhibit your work. Through its annual open exhibition opportunities, Orleans House Gallery in London helps artists both locally and nationally to showcase their work in group exhibitions. Each year, over 500 individual artists exhibit work in a range of open exhibitions across three galleries in London: Orleans and Stables Galleries, Twickenham and the Riverside Gallery in Richmond.
Fractals are a treat for your eyes, but what about your ears? Dmitry Kormann, a composer/keyboardist from São Paulo, Brazil, explains how he integrates fractal-like patterns in the very structure of his music, to obtain beautiful results.
Our sister site NRICH is celebrating the connections between maths and art with a special issue containing hands-on activities, challenges and articles to get your creative juices flowing
An unconventional perspective on an art show
In 1979 decorating work in a house in Vienna revealed a set of medieval frescoes depicting a cycle of songs by a 13th century poet, who was particularly fond of satirising the erotic relationships between knights and peasant maidens. The frescoes are of great historical significance, but they are badly damaged. In this article Carola Schönlieb explores how mathematicians use the heat equation to fill in the gaps.
Mathematics takes to the stage with A disappearing number, a work by Complicite, inspired by the mathematical collaboration of Hardy and Ramanujan. Rachel Thomas went to see the play, and explains some of the maths. You can also read her interview with Victoria Gould about how the show was created.
Victoria Gould has always known she would be an actor, and went straight from studying arts at school to running her own theatre company. But she eventually had to come clean about her guilty secret - she loves maths - and has since managed to combine a career as a research mathematician and teacher with a successful acting career on television and in theatre. She tells Plus why she needs to use both sides of her brain.
Peter Markowich is a mathematician who likes to take pictures. At first his two interests seemed completely separate to him, but then he realised that behind every picture there is a mathematical story to tell. Plus went to see him to find out more, and ended up with a pictorial introduction to partial differential equations.
Computer-generated art is on the rise, and with it comes a further blurring of the boundaries between maths and art. Lewis Dartnell looks at some stunning examples.
Exhibition design is not a career that the mathematically inclined tend to think about, let alone pursue. Barry Phipps is the first interdisciplinary fellow with the Kettle's Yard gallery in Cambridge. His remit is to develop projects of an interdisciplinary nature — "to find the common ground between things." Whilst most people think that art and science are two completely separate non-overlapping areas of human endeavour, Phipps does not see it this way.
