I can't use the Actiontec router. I need to have an external, routable address on my firewall for StS VPN access. I haven't had any other provider decline the request, but Verizon flat out refused - numerous times.
For a static IP, you need the business plan.
If you don't need a static IP, you can set up the Actiontec as a bridge to the router you want to use. That's not officially supported by Verizon, but there are enough tutorials on the Web on how to do it.
You need the Actiontec router to work as a MoCA router and bridge to the Ethernet. The backs of the FIOS boxes don't have an Ethernet jack, but they all have MoCA built-in.

I have a great desk, but I have always been lacking in the chair department. I know many people are going to recommend "investing" in a chair, but at this point in time I'd rather find the best bang for my buck instead of buying a Herman Miller Aeron or something akin to that. What's the best inexpensive desk chair? I'm 6'3" and weigh around 190, in case that matters. It doesn't have to be wheeled, but I imagine 99% of them are. I am also not that picky, but would prefer something that wasn't an eyesore. Any thoughts? What about good resources for finding/buying a chair locally? asked Sep 17 '11 at 12:26 oliver After trying out the Ikea Markus, and my neighbors exercise ball, I ended up looking a bit further afield. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Herman Miller Mirra used. I was won over by its easy customizability, backward and forward-tilt, and the fact that unlike the Aeron it's a one-size adapts to all deal so my fiancee can use it when she's home. It doesn't hurt that it still has 9-years of warranty left. Thanks for all the help!

Re: Are there good alternatives besides standing? Read the article at the Cornell University Ergonomics website, which makes the case that while neither sitting nor standing are perfect, sitting is better PROVIDED you take a break every 20-30 minutes and move around actively for about 2 minutes during your break. linkanswered Sep 18 '11 at 22:32 dorkypants This is actually why I got a Geek Desk (a motorized standing desk that can easily switch between the two positions). With that being said, the chair I use with it is terrible and definitely in need of replacing. -- OH

I'm a big fan of my blue Ikea Markus chair. It has a high back, headrest at the right height, and it won't lean back too far like a lot of office chairs. Also, this chair is built with a lot more metal in it than similarly priced chairs I've seen, and it feels a lot sturdier as a result. If you have an Ikea near you, I recommend checking it out. linkanswered Sep 18 '11 at 22:34 SnappyCrunch |
I'm about your size, and I've been recovering from a fairly serious back injury, so I've become rather picky about chairs. I have two favorites, but neither one is what most people now days would think of as a "desk chair". I like a solid chair that doesn't move around, no wheels, no tilt, just a place to sit. If your willing to do a little thrift shopping you can get a Wooden library chair for about $20, or you can buy one new for about $150. If you want a similar feel, but don't care as much about the appearance, a Lifetime plastic folding chair will sit about the same. It's surprising how comfortable an old fashioned chair is. You won't get that immediate "wow" feeling when you first sit down, but I find myself using better posture and varying my sitting position more frequently than with a typical modern desk chair. Also, with no moving parts, they really do last forever. linkanswered Sep 19 '11 at 00:15 Blueluck |
I have found I prefer a firm exercise ball instead of a traditional chair.For $20 I get a chair I have found to be strangely comfortable, keeps me alert while I am at the computer (or I fall off of it) and helps me develop better core muscles. It is all I use for an office chair now. Oh and for offices with limited space it is smaller than an traditional office chair. linkanswered Sep 19 '11 at 04:54 admorgan |
i recently had a back injury and had to make a change to my workstation. i got the Ergotron Workfit-s sit/stand workstation - http://www.ergotron.com/Products/tabid/65/PRDID/380/language/en-US/Default.aspx it is a desk attachment that mounts your keyboard/monitor/mouse + laptop to a stand that easily raises and lowers between sitting and standing positions. it literally takes 2 seconds to switch from one position to another. i now switch between sitting and standing several times a day. it is so easy with the Ergotron that I hardly think about it, there is no hesitation. a really nice bonus is it positions the laptop in a way that it can be used as a second monitor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV_i_mi---w&feature=player_embedded linkanswered Sep 19 '11 at 06:22 |
Hacker News dealt with this question a couple years ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=585693 and most submitters don't think there is a good inexpensive chair. The closest you can probably get is a used Aeron; those run about $500 and can be found at office supply companies or on Craigslist. linkanswered Sep 20 '11 at 23:55 jseliger |
I had the same question about 2 years ago and settled on the CB2 Studio Office Chair. I'm about the same weight/height as you and it has worked out great for me. At only $189, it's much cheaper than an Aeron or equivalent. Though it doesn't have much in the way of adjustments (just up/down, recline locked/free), it's quite comfortable. The reviews on the CB2 site rate it pretty highly and I have to concur. My one niggle is that the platform under the seat collects dust and grimblies which are quite visible through the seat's bungie cords. linkanswered Sep 27 '11 at 12:19 |

Willits Charter School is making a change next year. Sixth-grade students at WCS will have their own self-contained program allowing them time to adjust to the transition from elementary school.
Sixth-graders will remain in a single classroom and have one core-teacher. This is a change from the schedule used now where all students at the sixth-grade through 12th-grade campus rotate through different classrooms during the school day.
The charter school made the decision to offer the self-contained program after making the determination sixth-graders still needed to develop, according to Gaea Reid who will teach the sixth-grade class.
"There just hasn't been anything in this town that allows sixth-graders that are a little emotionally younger, a little socially younger," Reid said. "It's a transition year at the same school they'll be continuing at so they can get used to the routines in a place where they then can feel comfortable."
Reid describes middle school as "a kind of jaded time for kids" as they figure out where they are in the social pecking order and what they want to do academically. On top of all that, they have to adapt to the new responsibilities that come with being a middle-school student. Insulating them from the older students helps retain their sense of wonder about learning, according to Reid.
"We send them from fifth grade, where they have the same teacher all day into a situation where they're switching through six classes and they have four or five different teachers and each of those teachers has different expectations," Reid said. "Now we're preparing them for that transition and introducing them to the way different teachers do things."
Reid says the transition time may benefit boys in particular, who traditionally take longer to develop organizational skills than girls.
The new sixth-grade design will give the class their own brunch, lunch and an extra break during the day, giving them time to adjust to their new surroundings. They will have separate teachers for physical education and for their instruction in Spanish. All students at WCS take part in bi-lingual education.
The sixth-grade class will also take part in the school's Friday Academy to give sixth-graders their first taste of switching classes. Friday Academy offers a shorter day of learning with three long classes instead of six shorter ones.
Friday classes include novel-writing, forensic science, and wilderness survival. Students can attend homework help classes, study film or take part in music programs.
The new sixth-grade configuration will offer students the opportunity to take charge of their academic future.
"They're learning basic skills that adults use all the time," Reid said. "So that they own their education, I'm not giving it to them."

Need a quick refresher about Verdi's A Masked Ball (Un ballo in maschera) before you attend your performance? Look no further! Here are the top ten things you need to know about this opera, and our production.
1. MAKING THE OLD NEW It was the first and only time in Verdi's career that he adapted an already existing libretto, Gustave III, ou Le bal masqué by Eugène Scribe. Scribe's libretto had been set to music by French composer Daniel Auber in 1833 and enjoyed great success at its premiere in Paris.
2. A HISTORICAL OPERA The libretto was based on the 1792 assassination of the progressive and widely adored King Gustav III of Sweden. Gustav was shot at a masked ball in Stockholm and died several days later.
3. STOCKHOLM TO BOSTON As Verdi worked on the opera with his translator and librettist, Antonio Somma, the royal censors in Naples demanded a number of changes. The opera went through three different titles, and just as many historical periods and locations (18th-century Stockholm, 17th-century Pomerania, 14th-century Florence), before ending up at the centre of a legal dispute between Verdi and the management of the Teatro San Carlo. The courts released Verdi from his contract in Naples, and the composer took his opera to another theatre in Rome. There, the original Swedish setting was also rejected, but Verdi proposed 17th-century Boston as an alternative, with a governor instead of a king, which satisfied all parties involved. It was in this version that A Masked Ball finally premiered in Rome in 1859. The Boston setting was the standard version throughout Europe in Verdi's life-time, though within two years of the opera's premiere, a production in Paris had set the action in Italy.
4. EXTERNAL DETAILS WEREN'T OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE The opera's genesis shows that what was critical for Verdi in Masked Ball was not so much the outer detail — a particular city or a nobleman's rank — but the universal structures that govern our most private and public relationships.
5. A COMPLEX LOVE TRIANGLE A Masked Ball marked Verdi's move away from melodrama toward subjects of greater emotional complexity. The characters here are multi-faceted, experiencing intense conflicts of the heart and mind. The Governor Riccardo is in love with his best friend's wife, Amelia, but realizes that unchecked ardour would only compromise her marriage and lead to misery. Similarly, Amelia feels real passion for Riccardo but can't bring herself to betray her husband Renato. Meanwhile Renato – probably the most complex baritone part Verdi ever wrote – is devastated when he discovers what appears to be an affair between Amelia and Riccardo, the man he has sworn to protect with his life against a brewing conspiracy. Remarkably, Renato never turns into a one-dimensional villain and Verdi gives him a broad spectrum of conflicting emotions, from vengeful bloodlust, to grief at the breakdown of his marriage, and from pain at being betrayed to sorrow at the loss of a friend he loved and admired.
6. BLENDING COMEDY AND TRAGEDY This opera is Verdi's most successful fusion of light and dark styles. The commingling of tragedy and comedy is most striking during the opera's final scene when the stage band at the masked ball, apparently unaware that the Governor has been shot, continues to play upbeat dance music while Riccardo succumbs to his wounds.
7. VERDI LOOKS TO FRENCH MODELS In composing to a French libretto, Verdi opted to use musical forms associated with 19th-century French opera. This is especially true of the music he wrote for the page Oscar, who often sings in straight-forward French couplets (two-versed songs) that lighten the mood with fun and mischief. The part of Oscar is traditionally performed as a pants role (a male character played by a female singer), but in this production Oscar's character is presented as a young woman.
8. A MODERN AMERICAN SETTING This production takes place in an America of the 50s and 60s, but makes references to symbols and iconography outside that epoch – for example the extravagant outfit Oscar wears to the masked ball is a theatrical wink citing Björk's "swan dress" at the 2001 Oscars. In drawing from a broad spectrum of real and mythic American tropes, this production presents a completely invented "modern America," reinforcing Verdi's artistic recommendation that "to copy reality can be a good thing, but to invent reality is much, much better."
9. A VERSATILE HOTEL The set is a hotel ballroom that can transform seamlessly into different locales of the opera. During Act II, for example, when Amelia is in a cemetery by the gallows, the lighting dims, the columns of the ballroom suddenly become transparent to reveal vine-like plants crawling upward, and chandeliers lower to create the illusion of treetops that rustle and sway in the wind. The single set complements the action of A Masked Ball, one of Verdi's most compact and propulsive operas.
10. A RENOWNED DIRECTORIAL TEAM Two-time winners of the "Directorial Team of the Year" recognition (2002 and 2012), selected by an international panel of 50 critics contributing to the magazine Opernwelt, Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito have also been the recipients of "Der Faust" – a major German theatre award – for best opera staging (2006 and 2012). They are renowned for immersing themselves deeply in the score and following the nexus of text and music to arrive at their production's aesthetic and thematic focus. When Jossi Wieler was recently appointed head of the Stuttgart Opera, the Financial Times noted that it meant a welcome return to "productions based firmly on score and text" and praised him and Morabito for their "unshakeable faith in the score." When it premiered in 2008, this production of A Masked Ball was hailed by Bloomberg for being "unashamedly entertaining" and having the "cinematic dynamism and the velocity of a good thriller."
A Masked Ball runs from February 2 to February 22 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. To learn more and to purchase tickets, click here.

In an age in which superlatives such as "unforgettable," "legendary" and "greatest" are thrown about indiscriminately, few would argue Sir Thomas Allen's status as the pre-eminent lyric baritone of his generation. He has earned this title most especially for his iconic interpretations of Mozart's Don Giovanni, Count Almaviva, Figaro, Papageno, Guglielmo and Don Alfonso, both onstage and in the recording studio. Following his appearances at the Glyndebourne Festival in Sir Peter Hall's legendary production, EMI recorded his Don Giovanni in 1984 – now considered the definitive account of Mozart's notorious womanizer. For close to four decades he has been the baritone of choice for star conductors such as James Levine, Riccardo Muti, Georg Solti, John Eliot Gardiner, Colin Davis and Simon Rattle. Allen has not only mastered the fine balance between singing and acting needed to be a great opera singer, but stands as a master interpreter of the art song, especially in the English and French repertoire. He now passes on his expertise to the next generation of artists, giving masterclasses worldwide including, since 1996, at his own Samling Academy, located in Allen's beloved native country in North East England.
Sir Thomas Allen's association with Mozart's Così fan tutte goes as far back as his student days in the 1960s when he came to the attention of the great British vocal pedagogue, James Lockhart. "One of the things I worked on with him was how to go through a score. He taught me how to do that and read it as a singer, prepare and pencil it up and do the things that all singers do. And the score chosen was Così, though I didn't learn the role [Guglielmo] at the time, maybe just one of the arias perhaps. After that he [Lockhart] became music director at Welsh National Opera and one of the first things I did with them was a touring version of Così. That goes back to 1970 or something like that." Allen's first Così role, Guglielmo, is often regarded as a rite of passage for the budding lyric baritone. "I think the reason why we as a breed feel that way is that it doesn't seem to have the emotional maturity of a role like that of Ferrando [with whom Guglielmo schemes to prove the infidelity of their respective fiancées]. The relationship Guglielmo enjoys with Dorabella is one of pure pleasure rather than the [more emotionally deep] way Ferrando latches onto Fiordiligi. Musically as well, of all the Così roles, Guglielmo is the one that tends most towards the buffo [comic]." The other three young leads sing some of the most sublime, grand and emotional music Mozart ever wrote but Guglielmo's "vocal opportunities are just not on the same level."
On the other hand, Allen relishes the entirely different demands made of Don Alfonso, Così's philosopher and cynic, and the role which brings him to the COC this winter. He draws some fascinating parallels between Alfonso and Don Giovanni, the Mozart role with which he has the closest association. "It's a strange thing about Mozart. If one looks at Don Giovanni musically, he isn't all that demanding – it's an endurance test and you have to sing very loudly at the end of the piece. But you've not been asked great musical questions during the course of it in the way Donna Anna has, or had to sing the long-breath lines that Don Ottavio has. And similarly, Don Alfonso doesn't have those great [vocal] demands made of him. The thing is to use those moments when you've seemingly not been asked to do much… when in fact you are actually doing a lot. Then it's a question of listening to what others are doing, and causing action and reaction in them by just being there; by setting a plan in motion, sowing a seed of doubt or whatever it might be. A lot of it is just sitting down, crossing your legs comfortably, having a cup of coffee whilst you're watching everything going on. That's the way it often pans out. I have no qualms about that – I don't crave great lengthy stentorian arias – I'm very happy to just pull the strings and watch the others dance to my tune!"
Having mastered Così's two low-voiced male roles, Allen has taken the next logical step and can now be found directing Mozart's effervescent comedy in addition to Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute for companies such as Scottish Opera, Arizona Opera and Boston Lyric Opera. For the latter he not only directed Così but simultaneously played Don Alfonso, an undertaking which required "eyes in the back of your head. It's not easy, but not impossible either." In Boston he opted to perform the opera in English, wanting the text to have an immediate impact on the audience. For Allen, communication through music – its actual sounds, pitches and dynamics – are definitely the singer's responsibility, but even more important is the performer's ability to personally connect to the text and enliven it for the audience. By using an English translation for his Boston Così, he wished the singers to experience the words first, rather than second-hand. "Using one's own language is a distinct advantage. I don't care how seriously and intensely you work with a second or third language – there's nothing like getting back to one's own – it's in your DNA. Also, the colours that become available to a singer for expression are that much more telling. It's a much more advanced process when you're learning a role that's not your native language." That, says Allen, is "a lifetime study. I'm still doing it."
Just as director Atom Egoyan will re-envision Mozart's "school for lovers" for our audiences, Allen will also be looking at it afresh. "The main thing is not to come with anything assumed. Listen to what [the director] gives you and then respond to that rather than relying on the process you've used for years and years. I keep on saying this to singers – listen to what you're hearing and respond to that, not to the thing you've learned like a parrot from several recordings." Having lived with Così for over 40 years, Allen has witnessed a huge sea change in attitude with respect to the piece. There might have been a time when critical opinion denigrated the opera for its perceived immorality and frivolity, but in a post-Freudian world fascinating avenues have opened up to explore the "lessons of love" which lie beneath its undeniably frothy exterior. As Allen reasons, "It's no longer possible to regard these characters simplistically, as no more than decorative 18th-century porcelain figurines." This is especially true of the opera's ambiguous ending – do the original couples "kiss and make up," returning to their original partners, or are their relationships damaged forever? Allen feels the answer is found in Mozart's score itself: "You start thinking surely [the two couples] can't just return to everyday life as a result of the lessons that have been learned. In a way, Mozart indicates this in the finale which is in the very basic key of C major. It's music that's so simplistic, almost as though he's deliberately trying to show us that [the wedding between the two "original" couples] is a façade – they're clearly going through the motions here – it's very superficial when you think of all the glorious music that went before." How will things end up for the lovers in Toronto this winter? Allen and his fellow cast members will no doubt have fun playing with the possibilities when they meet on stage for the COC's new production of Così.

Recent research on a citric acid-based food wash developed nine years ago for a California olive and almond grower showed the product can provide a chemical-free alternative to traditional additives for fresh produce wash water.
Merritt Erickson, chief operations officer for Orland, Calif.-based E3 Organics Inc., said the company's Organic CHICO Wash has the potential to cut costs for fresh produce operations by allowing for extended reuse of wash water.
The product, which is certified by the Washington State Department of Agriculture's Organic Program for use in organic production and harvesting, could further cut costs because spent wash water treated with it can be used for irrigation after being held for only three days, Erickson said during a Web presentation Dec. 12.
Food safety researcher Sadhana Ravishankar, University of Arizona, said she plans to publish results of her fall research project during the next academic semester in 2014. Her next step with Organic CHICO Wash will be to try to replicate her results in large-scale experiments that more closely represent real-world uses. She said she hopes to begin that project in January.
Produce industry standard practices still define the purpose of wash water additives to be the prevention of cross contamination, but Erickson said Organic CHICO Wash has the potential to be a kill step for pathogens on fresh produce during the wash process.
Trevor Suslow, a scientist with the University of California's Extension Service who regularly works with the Center for Produce Safety, said a wash water additive that can be used as a kill step is something many people have been working to develop for many years.
"Their work is encouraging," Suslow said of the E3 Organics. "All of us (in the food safety sector) look forward to seeing their data package for the efficacy of the product relative to other chemistries."
Suslow said substances with low pH factors, such as citric acid, are well known for doing well in terms of killing potential against foodborne pathogens.
Radishankar's recent research involved iceberg lettuce in small quantities. Previous studies with Organic CHICO Wash involved celery and leeks. The lettuce experiment this fall showed that wash water with CHICO Wash retained its killing power on "background microflora" even after 30 uses.
Erickson said Organic CHICO Wash has gained approval from the Food and Drug Administration as an accepted food wash against bacteria.
He said the California Department of Pesticide Regulation has approved the product to sanitize seeds and clean food equipment, including harvest equipment in fields and food contact surfaces. The California Department of Health Services has also approved it for a pH control process and it may be used in place of a thermal process.

Some memories can change: They are as fluid as their outcome and depend heavily on it. They can sway to the right or left with the brush of feather, a second of change, one tiny instant of uncertainty.
Thankfully for us, our memory is a good one.
Looking back through some old photos of the children, I came across some of Buddy's days in the Nicu. Buddy (formerly Baby O, see notes) was born nearly a month early. This isn't extreme by any standard and he was strong and fought for air. Literally. The nurses in the Nicu loved and cared for him while he learned to breath on his own and we watched from a rocking chair holding his tiny hand and snuggling his oxygen-masked... Read more

You have a good eye. It's a 2009 Vega Tempranillo. Cheap and amazing Rioja. I enjoy Malbec usually but I like to mix it up also. Savoring the subtle differences in wine is a beautiful thing.
I will be sure to look for the name. Thanks for the recommendation.
I wouldn't say it's sultry, it's my morning bender look. Some mornings a glass of wine sets the mood for the rest of the day.
You're actually REALLY attractive, MH.

Does anyone like a picture of them self? It's like hearing your voice on the answering machine; is that how I sound? This was taken a couple of weeks ago just after I moved to Santa Fe. So yes, it's how I look and sound.
Too kind. Thank you!
I have only recently started to get comfortable with taking photos. I used to feel very insecure about myself. I thought i was very ugly. I felt very uncomfortable taking pictures. It was a new years resolution to start taking more photos.
Yes Please. I think you look rather magnificent,

The Legend and Lore of Bachelor Gulch
From the Ute Indians who originally settled the western valleys of Colorado to the group of bachelors for whom the area is named, the vibrant legends surrounding Bachelor Gulch persist at our Rocky Mountain resort. Much of the lore centers around seven miners who arrived in the early 1900s: John Anderson, Gunder "Gundy" Berg, Ed Howard, Charley Mays, John Mertz, Ferdinand Smith and Carrothers – a man only recognized by his last name in historical references. The bachelors remained in the area until high-altitude lettuce farming, which found its ideal climate and soil in the area, took root in the 1920s. The venture proved profitable for the new homesteaders until the Great Depression when the farmers were compelled to sell the land, which was used for herding and grazing until the vision of Bachelor Gulch as a resort destination materialized about 40 years later. The legends of the bachelors continue to inspire the resort's décor: the rock-lined walls of The Bachelor Gulch Spa's signature Grotto are reminiscent of caves found throughout the Rocky Mountains; the seven meeting and hospitality rooms are named for the bachelors, as is the resort's café '7'; and our Raclette dining experience is offered at Anderson's Cabin, the original homestead of bachelor John Anderson. Historical legends come to life at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch

Learning all you can about the cancer and your treatment choices can help you take an active part in decisions about your medical care. Discuss these choices with your doctor, other health care professionals, and loved ones. Your doctor and nurses are the best people to answer your questions about treatment. Make sure you ask how the treatment will change your daily life, including your diet, and how you will look and feel after treatment. Ask how successful the treatment is expected to be, and what the risks and possible side effects are.
Doctors are always looking for new ways to treat melanoma. These new methods are tested in clinical trials. Before beginning treatment, ask your doctor if there are any trials you should consider.
At first, the information you receive about treatment options may seem overwhelming. If you have time, you may find it helpful to make a list of your questions before seeing your doctor. To make it easier to remember what the doctor says, you may want to take notes during meetings with your doctor or ask if you can record your conversations. It might also help to have a family member or friend with you to take part in discussion, to take notes, or just to listen. Use the list of questions below as a starting place for the questions you might ask:
What is the level and depth of my melanoma? Do I have melanoma in my lymph nodes?
Has the cancer spread anywhere else in my body?
Are there other tests that need to be done before we can decide on treatment?
How much experience do you have treating this type of cancer?
What are the treatment choices and which treatment do you think is best for me?
What is the risk of recurrence with this treatment?
Over what period of time will I get this treatment?
How long will each treatment take?
What should I do to get ready for the treatment?
Who will give me the treatment?
Does someone need to go with me during treatments?
What side effects might I have during and after treatment?
How long will side effects last?
What can I do to ease the side effects?
Will I have a scar?
Will I be able to go to work and be around my family?
Are there any clinical trials that I am eligible for?
What things can I do now to decrease my risk of recurrence?
Are there support groups nearby that I can join?
What type of follow-up will I need after treatment?

Marc Maron became one of my favorite radio hosts when he co-hosted Morning Sedition on Air America. Sadly, that show was canned by one idiot with a little bit of power just as it was gaining acceptance.
Since the demise of Morning Sedition, Maron has returned to his roots--stand-up comedy. Here's part one of his recent special aired on Comedy Central earlier this month.

EASE Modeling for a Multipurpose Venue, Part 1
Feb 14, 2012 10:32 AM, With Bennett Liles
Editor's note: For your convenience, this transcription of the podcast includes timestamps. If you are listening to the podcast and reading its accompanying transcription, you can use the timestamps to jump to any part of the audio podcast by simply dragging the slider on the podcast to the time indicated in the transcription.
North Carolina's Elon University had an auditorium designed for a its huge pipe organ, but Whitley Auditorium was being used for a lot of other events, so they needed a sound system that could cope with its multi-use role. They called Audio & Light for the job and Jim Hoyle is here to let us now how he tackled that project, coming up next on the SVC Podcast.
SVC: So Jim Hoyle from Audio & Light. Thanks for being with us on the SVC Podcast from Greensboro, N.C., and we're talking about the new sound system installation in Whitley Auditorium at Elon University. We've had Audio & Light on the podcast a while back, but refresh our memory on the company and tell me a little about what Audio & Light does.
Jim Hoyle: Well, Audio & Light was started in 1984. We are mostly involved in AV integration, but we also offer live production services and we have a rental department for rental projectors and small sound systems and things like that and portable equipment. [Timestamp: 1:20]
OK and you were called in to do a complete sound system upgrade on Whitley Auditorium, and there are some challenging acoustics in there and a lot of different events the place is used for. So what was the situation? What did they want you to do when they called you in?
Well, Whitely Auditorium is a multipurpose space on campus. It houses a pipe organ, and the acoustics of the room have been adjusted for that, but they also use the room for lectures, student performances, guest performances, small ensembles. So it has to do triple duty, and of course the acoustics desired for an organ don't really match up with the rest of those needs. The intelligibility—the room is very low and that's something that they've been fighting against for years. When they have lectures if the speaker is soft-spoken, it's almost impossible to hear them past the fifth or sixth row in the balcony even with the sound system they had. The former sound system had been in there for some time—10 years, I guess, at least. And was never adequate to really cover the whole room with sound, and of course they're fighting the intelligibility problem. The device they used was a very wide throw device, so the critical distance was very short at not making it to the seating. So we've been talking about changing this room for a long time, and Rick Earl, the technical director at Elon theater department, finally got interested in the projects and—if we're doing all these performances in Whitely, we need to fix this—and so we started talking about how would we fix it. And that's where the design process started. [Timestamp: 2:48]
OK and that place is, I think, it's something like 90ft. deep and 42ft. wide?
That's correct, approximately 90x40.
OK and they've got a huge pipe organ in there, and that place is of course built acoustically just for that.
It is, yes. It's a very live reverberant space. [Timestamp: 3:05]
OK, so you went in there and you had to get a handle on the exact acoustic situation and how did you go about analyzing the acoustics and the design of the room for this?
I created a model of the room in EASE, and it started playing speaker placements and using different devices and looking at coverage patterns and reflections and what was going on in the room. Rick Earl at Elon is a big fan of the DAS products, which we ended up using and we really liked the product as well. So we wanted to take a look at that, and we found one of their small line arrays that worked really well in EASE. It showed very even coverage from the floor even up into the balcony, so after modeling the room, and the room was not easy to model by the way; there are several architectural features there that are difficult: There's a large dome on the center of the ceiling, 5ft. to 8ft. forward of where the speaker cluster hangs. So there's a nice tool in EASE to help you design those kinds of shapes, but add a large reverberant space then putting a dome on top of it, you can imagine what we're dealing with there. So we're trying to keep energy out of the dome so that we don't get any of those reflections bouncing all over the room. So we found a location that worked really well using EASE 26ft. off the floor. Actually about 1ft. upstage of the down stage edge of the stage allowed us to cover from the very first seat all the way up to the back of the balcony with this DAS Variant 25 line array.

The curious case of Jody Gerut
Baseball November 2nd, 2009
As the Phillies gift wrap a World Series for the Yankees, the time for offseason moves is approaching. The Hot Stove League is one of the best times of the year. Lots to think about, lots to talk about, tons of speculation and none of those pesky losses to agonize over. As the days roll on, I become more and more convinced that my favorite player, Mike Cameron, won't be back. Rumors of him signing with the Cubs swirl and all of the sudden I start to feel like this guy:
"It's like going into church on Sunday and the priest says, `Everybody go home, Jesus has now sided with the devil,"' [Packers fan Mark Fields, who was wearing a Favre jersey with "JUDAS" written on the back] said.
(It's okay, buddy. Have some milk and cookies then go take a nap. Everything is going to be all right.)
The consensus seems to be that Mike Cameron will not be back and that the Brewers starting center fielder for 2010 will be none other than Jody Gerut. He's cheaper, he's under team control and he could put up roughly the same numbers. To prepare for this seemingly inevitable move I keep looking at Gerut's stats, his projections, his Wikipedia page and I just can't figure him out. He just doesn't make any sense. He's either going to be a great steal and an amazing asset or one of the biggest busts in team history. I haven't been this confused since my middle school thought the best way to teach kids about sex was by watching Degrassi episodes from the 80s. Not that I was complaining. (Hey Shane, if you think you are responsible enough to handle a kid when you are in middle school maybe you shouldn't eat acid and jump off a bridge a couple years later. Just a thought.)
Let's take a quick look at Jody Gerut's career: Read the rest of this entry »

Per today's Viacom deal, it's obvious that digital rights is key to any new deal most likely.
Sixto you bring up an interesting point, DIY and Cooking are two channels in SD I would love in HD, both of those channels currently are not streamed. So i would imagine the HD and online streaming are intertwined.
Also, with the Pac12 info that broke yesterday that you will need a TV provider aligned with them to watch streaming events things are starting to add up. Seems all new deals will include online access if at all possible.

CEDIA Preview
Aug 1, 2008 12:00 PM, By Jack Kontney
New technologies are making waves at the 2008 CEDIA Expo.
As the CEDIA Expo arrives at the Colorado Convention Center in early September, more than 25,000 designers, integrators, architects, and builders are expected to converge on Denver to see the latest products and technologies from 600 manufacturers — including 75 new exhibitors.
In recent years, the show has seen incredible advances in IP control and AV that enable elegant, functional residential installations and integration capabilities far beyond those from a decade ago. What's next? Which technologies and product areas will leap to the forefront of integrator consciousness at this year's expo?
CEDIA Senior Director of Technology Dave Pedigo is staff liaison to the CEDIA Technology Council, which is charged specifically with identifying and tracking the products and technologies that will have a growing impact on the industry. Formed about a year ago as a new association initiative, the Technology Council is driven by a panel of integrators with some manufacturer input. "Our mission is to gather information regarding the state of the industry — trying to predict what technologies are going to make an impact within the next 12 to 18 months and then out to five and 10 years, so that our members can start preparing their business models for future development," Pedigo says.
Armed with Technology Council data and his own perspective, Pedigo recently discussed with SVC some of the technology areas that are expected to make the biggest impact on the industry heading into this year's CEDIA Expo.
Every year, we see bigger, brighter flatpanel displays. This trend will no doubt continue. LCD designs will soon be available with a depth of 3/4in., with a 50-percent decrease in weight and reduced power consumption. This, in turn, means more creative mounting options without special infrastructure — especially with articulated and motorized designs. On the flip side is the development of even bigger direct-view televisions. With the 100in. barrier only recently broken, it was stunning to see a working 150in. plasma screen with 4K resolution at CES 2008.
Another advance slated for several years down the road is ultra-high-definition video (UHDV), also called Super Hi-vision. Currently under development by NHK in Japan, the proposed format has a resolution of 7680x4320 pixels — four times as wide and high or 16 times the pixel resolution as existing HDTV. Experts are not convinced the format will ever be suitable for home viewing because ultra-large screens must make the increased resolution capabilities discernable to the human eye. Many suggest it is likely to be more practical as a largescreen specialty format for rides, museums, and live events, rather than for home theaters.
Still, home screens are finding ways to grow. In the past couple years, 2.35:1 projection, for instance, has also really taken off — especially with the introduction of anamorphic lenses for home use. As a consequence, product trends include a move to curved screens for a more immersive experience. This means easier integration of bigger screens, to the point where the left-center-right loudspeakers can all be easily hidden behind an acoustically transparent screen.

Tim Shaffer, who has claimed the last four straight UNOH All Star titles and won the 2010 Knoxville Nationals, has 10 career wins at Attica. Stevie Smith, of Broken Arrow , Oklahoma , has two World of Outlaw wins at Attica – 1994 and 2005 – to has four career wins at the track. Jac Haudenschild and Sheldon Haudenschild of Wooster, Ohio. The father and son have both found success at Attica. Jac has one career win at Attica while Sheldon picked up his first career win at the track earlier this year and recently scored his first non-wing victory at Wayne County Speedway. Shane Stewart of Bixby, Oklahoma, scored his third career win at Attica a couple of weeks ago and finished second with the World of Outlaws Monday at Lawrenceburg, A two-time national ASCS champion, Stewart also posted a third place run Sunday at Fremont Speedway. There are many financial incentives for the local drivers to defeat the invading World of Outlaw teams Friday which will add to the excitement. The Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models will also be in competition. Gates will open Friday at 3:30 p.m. with racing underway at 7:45 p.m. Reserved seats are still available by going to www.atticaracewaypark.com or call 419-680-5606. You can mark seats prior to the event by taping plastic or blankets down to the bleachers and marking them with "Outlaws – May 31st" with a sharpie. You cannot just put tape directly on the bleacher or it will be removed prior to the event. No stadium chairs with backs will be allowed.
The truck and trailer will arrive at Attica Raceway Park around 2 p.m. on Friday to collect items and depart shortly after the races start. Of course race fans can also make monetary donations to the American Red Cross or donate $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief by texting "REDCROSS" to 90999. |

The Beat 'Em Up Resurgence
Fighting games like Tekken and SoulCalibur have enjoyed an unprecedented resurgence over the last two years. But before Mitsurugi's katana skills and Paul Phoenix's extreme hairstyle came into style, old-school gamers were playing The Way of the Exploding Fist and Yie Ar Kung-Fu on their humble ZX Spectrums and Commodore 64s. These early fighters - which were inspired by martial-arts films - then paved the way for the most important fighting game of all time. …

The state already has enacted a quarantine within a 5-mile radius of the Exeter find, according to a California Department of Food and Agriculture announcement. Similar actions are expected shortly around the Strathmore and Ducor finds.
Crews are currently conducting delimiting surveys in Strathmore and Ducor to determine if the pest has spread.
Barring additional psyllids, Blakley said he expected the state would quarantine an area within a 5-mile radius of the trap catches. The boundaries most likely will overlap existing ones set up when six psyllids were trapped last summer in Porterville and will create one large quarantine extending from Lindsay to Ducor.
Growers within the quarantine must remove all leaves and stems from citrus shipments before they leave the area.
Because it's labor-intensive, most growers in the Porterville quarantine area last season opted to spray groves with an approved insecticide and harvest within seven days of treatment, Blakely said.
Either way, the goal is to reduce the chances of psyllids hitchhiking on loads of citrus.
The quarantines also prohibit shipment of citrus plants outside the areas unless they're grown in a U.S. Department of Agriculture-approved structure. Homeowners also cannot move plants or fruit outside the boundaries.
