Capacitive sensors are an elegant way to control an Arduino using the Capacitive Sensing Library. But the sensitivity and error tolerance depend strongly on the hardware (sensor) design. I found a design guideline here and tested different setups which mostly work well if the Arduino was powered by battery. But the sensor signal changes dramatically if I connect the Arduino to a power supply.
Actually I found a design for five (and more) sensors which works well powered with battery and power supply.

Toumas decided to code his own capacitive touch sensors based on a closed source Atmel example where a single ADC pin is used for capacitive sensing. He reverse engineered it, and documented his results: [via]
I've been thinking of a project that needs a little bit more elegant user interface than your usual push buttons. Partly inspired by a video blog on Dave Jones' EEVblog, I decided to look into capacitive touch buttons. The big issue unfortunately for me was that you usually need a separate chip for capacitive touch sensing. With some tricks, you can however use a normal microcontroller to do the job. Even using only a single pin and resistor.

If you ever wanted to integrate touch sensitivity into your project, this board could just do the trick. It's a capacitive touch sensor. These sensors are used in our everyday consumer electronics like notebook trackpads, video game consoles, touchscreens…just to name a few.

This project is a capacitive touch sensing keypad with 6 buttons based on the QProx QT160 charge transfer proximity sensor chip. When a button is pressed the circuit provides some visual feedback, a clicking noise and translate the output into an i2c bus signal. Special mylar capacitors are required for it to work properly. Check details on the link below.

In the past, NerdKits has shown you a 14MHz freezer, a pseudo-random Valentine's Day card, and a USB-connected digital bathroom scale — so why not a haunted candy bowl? For this special spooky Halloween project, we've put together a Halloween Jack-O-Lantern that glows when you reach your hand in. The technology used for our proximity sensor is the same technology that is used in laptop trackpads and smartphone touch screens, just implemented with a somewhat more MacGyver twist. We use two sheets of aluminum foil to create a capacitive proximity sensor. The sensor trips when a hand is near, and lights go on to surprise and scare the unsuspecting trick-or-treater!

Granholm leads energy town hall in Saginaw
By Rick Pluta, Michigan Public Radio Network
SAGINAW, MI – Governor Granholm led an invitation-only town meeting in Saginaw on Wednesday. She was joined by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and White House officials to try and generate support for President Obama's energy plan.
The president's proposal for cap-and-trade credits as part of an energy policy overhaul has been controversial in manufacturing states, where big utility bills can stifle job growth.
But Governor Granholm and the White House say the long-term effect will be cleaner, less-expensive energy. And they say it could mean jobs for Michigan workers building wind turbines, next generation batteries, and energy conservation components.
Granholm says she hopes the final version of an energy package will have preferences for U.S. built products.
"And if they are, you gotta make em in a place that knows how to make things, and that's what we do," she says. "It's in our DNA."
The president's auto recovery czar, Ed Montgomery, was also here. He says a quarter of all the nation's manufacturing jobs have disappeared in recent years, and something needs to be done to recover them.

If I have a million Dilithium or a 1000 fm on hand(which sometimes I do have even more of at times) and its enough to finish a project on my own, I should be able to contribute it and finish that project regardless if I am in a large or small fleet. If I was able to take those same resources and be able to use it to finish a project in a small fleet but if I donated the same amount in my fleet and the project didn't get finished due to some silly scaling requirement I would be very angry and so would many of my other fleet mates.

An Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Committee, constituted by the Supreme Court to study the environmental fallout of mining in Bellary district made some startling revelations in its report submitted earlier this month.
The report quantified the enormous toll that mining had taken on human health, livelihood, forests and wildlife.
Poor agricultural productivity had turned over 600 farms fallow over the last 10 years.
Acute diarrhoea and respiratory diseases contributed to 42 per cent of all health-related problems in the three mining taluks (Bellary, Hospet and Sandur).
Fatal road accidents involving mining trucks had risen from 148 in 2000 to 370 in 2010, even as expenditure on road repair (due to the density of traffic) trebled from Rs. 1,436 lakh to Rs. 4,836 lakh.
Director-General of Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE) V.K. Bahuguna, who lead the EIA team to Bellary, spoke toThe Hinduabout the significance of these findings and his recommendations.
Was the extent of environmental damage in the form of air and water pollution, and impact on agriculture worse than you expected?
We did not go to Bellary with preconceived ideas. We were given a scientific task by the Supreme Court. We were, however, aware that there would be complaints of serious damages to the environment.
You have recommended 'sustainable' or 'scientific' mining. Could you elaborate on what you mean?
By sustainable mining we mean the exploitation of mineral resources in accordance with established scientific prescriptions with minimum environmental damage.
In nutshell, it is an activity related to extraction of mineral ores in a manner which is ecologically sustainable, socially acceptable, economically viable, and technically and administratively feasible.
If mining is carried out according to norms, how soon can the environment revive?
Fortunately, we found nature to be resilient here, and we noticed a lot of vegetation growing back after mining was halted. If the recommendations of the ICFRE report are implemented, mining operations can be carried out and a win-win situation would emerge not only in Bellary but also elsewhere in Karnataka and the country.
What was the most prominent impact on the quality of life?
The worst impact was on air quality.
Mining activity had pushed up the levels of suspended particulate matter significantly, leading to severe respiratory infections. Agricultural productivity was also impacted by mining dust, and therefore livelihoods endangered too.
You have suggested that iron ore exploitation be restricted for domestic use and not for export…
Yes. This is also a question of inter-generation equity. But the court and the government have to take a call on this matter.

+ - Britain Grants Request to Extradite Assange->
Submitted by Hugh Pickens writes
Hugh Pickens writes writes: "The NY Times reports that a British court has ordered Julian Assange to be extradited to Sweden to face accusations of sexual abuse. His lawyers have seven days to appeal the ruling and immediately indicated that they would so. Judge Howard Riddle, in his ruling, said that allegations brought by two women qualified as extraditable offenses and that the warrant seeking Mr. Assange's return to Sweden for questioning was valid. Judge Little says that if there have been abuses in Sweden, "the right place for these to be examined and remedied is in the Swedish trial system.""

Critical Essay by John W. Crowley
SOURCE: "From Psychologism to Psychic Romance," in The Mask of Fiction: Essays on W. D. Howells, The University of Massachusetts Press, 1989, pp. 133-55.
In the following excerpt, Crowley offers an overview of Howells's psychic stories.
In August 1900 Howells wrote to Richard Watson Gilder, editor of the Century, about two stories, both of which were ultimately to be included in Questionable Shapes. Howells described one as "the study of a man's state and relative conditions after having really seen a ghost, or something he can honestly explain as nothing else, and oddly enough it is rather humorous, and involves a prosperous love-affair" (SL, 4:248).18 As the story evolved, Howells became increasingly enchanted with it. "I think it is working out into something uncommon," he told Gilder. "I must keep myself from bragging about it, and perhaps the thing is merely...

Oz on Oz
Israel's wizard of fiction at 92Y
You may not think it at first, but the similarities between Amoz Oz and Woody Allen, two Jewish wordsmiths born between the two world wars who each have come to define specific eras and geographies of Jewish culture, are striking. When Oz was in New York for last night's 92nd Street Y event, he was definitely channeling Allen with an ode to one of Judaism's most famous traits: "As a Jew," he remarked, "I feel guilty about the invention of guilt."
Guilt wasn't the only emotion on Oz's mind while he joked about about his more than 40 years of work with New Republic senior editor Ruth Franklin. For one thing, he always came back to the theme of unhappiness. At one point he offered, "If you asked me to describe my work in one word, it would be 'families.' If you gave me two, it would be 'unhappy families.' " His latest work, Scenes From Village Life, recently translated into English, capitalizes on this Tolstoyan trope. It was born out of a dream, which he morphed into a novel-in-stories about the fictional village of Tel Ilan. Like many of his other books, it is about love, loss, and loneliness. (In one story, an Arab character, Adel, tells an Israeli character, Pesach, "Our unhappiness is partly our fault and partly your fault. But your unhappiness comes from your soul.")
The evening also centered around translation. Oz read long portions in both Hebrew and English; when asked whether he was happy with the English translation, he responded in the affirmative, saying that one must be "unfaithful in order to be loyal." He also told the now famous story of how one of his most successful books, A Tale of Love and Darkness, was translated into Arabic (the family of an Israeli Arab victim of anti-Semitic terrorism paid for it).
Oz is quick to separate his fiction from his politics: "I have two pens on my desk," he insisted (no, he doesn't use a computer), "one pen to tell stories and another pen to tell the government to go to hell." As Franklin pressed him, though, it became clear that truly decoupling these two things is almost impossible. Oz conceded as much, saying that, as an author, all he can do is disclaim that his fiction is not an allegory of Israeli life. "People will read it that way anyway," he sighed. "I can't help it."

Amphibico Phenom FX1 Video Samples
Wetpixel user wagsy has posted some sample videos of his first dive with the Sony FX1 HD camcorder in an Amphibico Phenom FX1 underwater housing. Videos range from a few megabytes to one that is nearly 200 megabytes! Grab 'em before his host shuts him down for excessive bandwidth usage. :)
Also on his website are images showing the resolution difference between HD and miniDV.
Seacam D2x spotted in the forums
In North America, Kasey Canton was the first person to take delivery of a Seacam Nikon D2x housing.
"The description of a "transparent" housing couldn't be more accurate. If you are comfortable with the D2 camera, you'll be shooting this housing with comfort in no time. The wheels an buttons are exactly where you'd expect them to be, and you never need to take your hands from the handles."
Join us in the forums to see photos and a first impression.
Adding USB Connectivity to your U/W Housing
It took only a couple liveaboard trips to convince me that there had to be an easier solution to downloading photos from the camera. Opening the housing after each dive, and either swapping out the memory card, or plugging in a USB cable to the side of the camera, was not only an inconvenience, but exposed the housing to an increased chance that a small hair or other contaminant might land on the main o-ring, leading to a flood. With the long battery life of the majority of dSLR cameras, the size of the memory card becomes the limiting factor, and with RAW files on some cameras breaking 15mb, one can only shoot so many pictures before the card fills up. Determined, I set about trying to find a way to transfer files over USB through the housing. This article describes the author's design (Matt Segal), which makes USB downloading of photos THROUGH the housing a reality.
Aquatica D2x Prototype Housing Photos
We have received 2 photos of the prototype Aquatica D2x housing. As you can see from this photos, this unit is machined from solid, much like units from Subal and UK-Germany. The photos show the unit after machining and assembly, but it is not painted yet. The housing is designed to work with all of the available Aquatica bayonet mount ports and other accessories. MSRP is reported to be $2,999

Confessions of a Nikon Traitor
I really didn't want to do it but I had no choice. I waited like a faithful puppy for Nikon to jump on the bandwagon and kick Canon's rear but it never happened. I just became an old dog while everyone else was shooting bigger and faster with their Canon cameras.
When Jim Watt showed up in Palau as one of the judges for the underwater photo contest this year with a 10-22mm zoom for his new Canon 20D camera, that was the last straw. The D100s were bid a fond farewell as they served me well. The wonderful 10.5mm lens found a good home as did the 12-24 Nikkor. I cleaned house and restocked with Canon 20D bodies.
So, this is a story of both switching from Nikon to Canon and my first experiences with the Aquatica A20…

Mark Twain's Speeches
Not available
moreIn his lifetime Samuel Langhorne Clemens was as well known for being Mark Twain the performer as he was for being Mark Twain the author of such works as Huckleberry Finn and Innocents Abroad<. The speeches in this volume, collected from 43 years of speechmaking all over the world, cover topics from the adventures of Stanley and Livingston to the author's brief career as a rebel, from Joan of Arc to Helen Keller to Queen Victoria, from the joys of theatre to the horrors of the German language (translated word-for-word from German, to hilarious effect).
These 103 examples of Mark Twain's genius as a speechmaker and entertainer are by turns thoughtful, dramatic, and wryly humorous, and reveal a side of Mark Twain his readers will enjoy discovering again and again.

A Jabberwock, a Jubjub bird and a Bandersnatch...complete nonsense, right? Right. They are characters from "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll. Made-up creatures, sure, but there is a story here. "Jabberwocky" is a tale of terrifying monsters, a daring hero, a ferocious battle, and a triumphant homecoming. To summarize: A boy is warned that there is a monster called a Jabberwock in the woods. He grabs his sword and searches for the dangerous beast. When the boy finally finds the Jabberwock, he slays him and returns home to tell his father of his accomplishment. His father is overjoyed.

The EU Ministers for Finance met on 18/05/2010 in Brussels, in the margins of the 3015th meeting of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (EcoFin).
They discussed new rules on financial services, and in particular the new directive on hedge funds and private equity, proposed by the European Commission, to enhance the transparency of those funds in the markets and hamper speculation.
On the agenda of the meeting, there were also the consolidation plans that Member States have agreed to put in place on the Euro zone Summit last week. In particular, the Ministers for Finance examined the measures announced by the two countries which are most exposed to the market after Greece: Spain and Portugal.
The Ministers discussed as well the proposal of the European Commission, after the Euro zone Summit last week, to enhance economic governance in the European Union, and to reform the Stability Pact.
Elena Salgado Méndez, Spanish Minister for Economy and Finance and President in office of the Council, Michel Barnier, Member of the EC in charge of Internal Market and Services, and Olli Rehn, Member of the EC in charge of Economic and Monetary Affairs, gave a common press conference after the meeting.

Church Sex Abuse Cases Dismissed
A 7th Judicial Circuit Court judge has thrown out a number of civil lawsuits against the Catholic Church that allege past sexual and physical abuse in Native American boarding schools.
One case included a series of detailed letters written by clergy that plaintiffs say clearly show the church knew about sexual abuse of minors decades ago but covered it up.
The lawsuits were thrown out in part due to an added statute of limitations passed by the legislature in 2010. That law limited the amount of time those who suffer alleged abuse can bring a lawsuit against the church.
You can hear the rest of the story by clicking the play button below.
Here is a longer SDPB series of stories that aired in 2012 on these cases.

The tour price includes:
•All meals from dinner on day 1 of the tour to breakfast on day 18;
•Drinking water throughout the tour;
•All lodgings as per the itinerary;
•Ground transportation;
•All reserve entrance fees;
•All guiding services; and
•Tips for local guides and services.
…and excludes:
•Any airfares, taxes and visa costs;
•Alcoholic beverages;
•Special gratuities; and
•Telephone calls, laundry and items of a personal nature.
a) Due to constantly fluctuating exchange rates, we now quote our tours in 4 currencies (see website for all 4 currencies). The tour price is however fixed only in the currency printed in bold (ZAR South African Rands), and the actual cost in the other currencies listed will be adjusted according to prevailing exchange rates at the time of final invoicing (usually 3 months before the tour.) The same applies to approximate domestic flight (where applicable) and single supplement rates, which are also quoted in the respective fixed currency.
b) Rates are based upon group tariffs; if the tour does not have sufficient registration (a minimum of 6 paying participants) a small party supplement will have to be charged.
c) Furthermore, these costs are subject to unforeseen increases in tour related costs and may have to be adjusted as a result.
d) Lastly, we may be forced to change or alter the itinerary and / or the designated leader at short or no notice due to unforeseen circumstances; please be aware that we will attempt to adhere as close to the original program as possible.
This tour does not include any international airfares. Day 1 is essentially an arrival day in Windhoek, Namibia. However, should you arrive before 11am on day 1, we have some local birding we will do in the afternoon around Windhoek. Further meeting details in this regard will be forwarded to you in due course. The tour will conclude by 11am at Livingstone International Airport, Zambia on the day 18. If you wish to arrive early and/or depart late and would like assistance in this regard kindly contact the office.
Windhoek (Hosea Kutako International Airport) is the main port of entry for international flights into Namibia. The more reliable airlines with the most direct routing for these flights are Air Namibia and South African Airways. For departure from Livingstone (Zambia), the best routing is through Johannesburg (OR Tambo International Airport). We have the capacity to advise you on the best route according to your preferences, but your local travel agent will best be able to book these flights for you. If you would like further assistance kindly contact the office, we have a full-time in-house travel consultant that will happily help you plan your route. However, please DO NOT book your international flights until you have consulted the office for confirmation on the status of the tour.
As noted above, gratuities (drivers, hotel staff, porters and restaurants) are included on this tour. However, this does NOT include your leader/s. If, therefore, you feel that he/they have given you excellent service, it is entirely appropriate to tip them.
•Much of our time is spent in a specially converted overland Toyota Dyna Truck, as we do have to cover long distances in order to get to the best areas for birds and animals. However, the vehicle is fairly spacious with large windows and pop-up rooftops which allows for great bird and mammal viewing. Despite this, we recommend that you do not over-pack for the comfort of your fellow travellers and yourself. Kindly stick to 20kg (44lb) for check in luggage and 8kg (+-18lb) for hand luggage.
•Please be aware that the vehicle does not have air-conditioning. However, the windows are large and will remain open for most of the time, while the front windscreen also folds down completely, providing a pleasant through-flow of air.
•During the tour, we visit several national parks and game reserves which contain potentially dangerous animals and therefore you are confined to the vehicle and are, quite understandably, not allowed to exit except at designated viewing and picnic sites.
•Temperatures in Namibia, Botswana and Zambia can be very high at this time of year, especially when compared to the cooler winter months. If you suffer easily from heat exposure, please do contact the RBT office for more information.

"On the highway, with all the safety systems activated, the JX35 basically drives itself."
With the cold weather coming, we wanted to get winter tires on the Infiniti. But Tire Rack, official wheel and tire supplier to Automobile Magazine, didn't yet have measurements for the JX, so we took our car down to their headquarters in Indiana so they could get some. The process is actually quite involved: they use a mapping arm to locate the touch points inside the wheel well, which they use to make a CAD model. They measure wheel offset, suspension travel, and brake caliper size, among other things. The brake calipers, for instance, are measured fully such that brake pads with more compound don't interfere with an aftermarket wheel. In the end, after the measuring and calculating were done, they recommended Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 tires for our JX, which were mounted on a new set of 18-inch wheels, to the tune of $1599.69. Resetting the tire pressure monitoring system at the dealership added another $62.49.
Two weeks later, road test editor Christopher Nelson loaded up his family for a trip down to the Big Easy. Leaving from Ann Arbor, Nelson swung over to Chicago to collect his passengers and then headed south. Unfortunately, the JX was coming up on the 15,000-mile mark, so at an overnight stop in Memphis, he had the Infiniti's second factory-scheduled service done. Basically an oil and filter change, it was done for $57.62 at Infiniti of Memphis.
On to New Orleans. The 2500-mile round trip provided more than ample opportunity to try out the JX35's myriad of safety systems. Well, most of them at least. "I never tested Blind Spot Intervention because I'm not that much of a jerk to intentionally scare the crap out of some guy in the next lane," he says. "Forward Assist is helpful. It pushes the accelerator pedal back at your foot when you're approaching a slower moving vehicle. And then there's the often-hated adaptive cruise control. While I'm usually one of the haters, I have to admit that ACC was welcome on this trip. We encountered heavy fog on our way south, but I had faith in the ACC. I set it for maximum distance, kept right at the speed limit, and trucked on. Every once in a while, the ACC would brake lightly before a slower car even came into view. I'd move into the left lane, pass him, and carry on. This went on for about an hour before the fog finally lifted. The ACC impressed everyone in the car."
They were less impressed with the navigation system. "Although the physical inputs are straightforward, the address lookup is tedious. First you must choose your region; why not start with state? Next it asks for the house number, which is stupid. At least the POI function works well, and gives a long list of places."
Comfort is a major issue on any mega road trip, and here the Infiniti got mixed reviews. "The driver's seat has a lot of adjustability, and the steering column tilts and telescopes. The front center armrest and door armrests are extremely well padded," he reports. The problem was in the back seats: "Second-row comfort is atrocious. I couldn't sleep a single second when I was back there and, boy, did I want to." Traveling four up, they did not use the third row, which was folded down to make room for luggage.
And then there was the driving experience. "On the highway, with all the safety systems activated, the JX35 basically drives itself," he says. "And it's a nice, cushy drive. But when you take control again, the car shows its cards. It rolls through turns, the steering feels disconnected, and the CVT has the engine groaning. Basically, I disliked the driving experience everywhere but on the highway."
There's lots more highway miles in the JX35's future, but lots of other driving as well. Check back to see how it fares next month.

Honeywell said this week that it has debuted the latest version of the Lynx Touch self-contained security system. The system includes a pair of industry firsts: Wi-Fi capability and a 4G alarm radio.
"The new Lynx Touch truly represents what today's homeowners expect from a security system – it's easy to use, it's fast to install, it has the broadest breadth of communication options and it can do a lot more than just security," Rob Puric , director of product management, Honeywell Security & Communications, said as part of the announcement.

A homeowner called Audio Impact in San Diego, asking us to please come out and take a look as to why he could not close his low voltage panel doors in his closet. He also mentioned that he experienced intermittent telephone and internet problems.
When Audio Impact System Designer, Ryan Lipkovicius, arrived on site, the homeowner was only too happy. None of the Master Suite closet space in this immediate area could be used. At first glance it was obvious why the panels would not close. Upon further inspection there were notable cable patches and splices. The modem and router were dangling in place by the cat5e ethernet cable that was connected to them.
Audio Impact Technician, Ernesto Vega, was scheduled to return to organize the smart panel and verify all systems relating to it. Ernesto cleaned up all the wiring and added an additional network switch to activate all the data jacks in the home. He labeled all the cable room names and a surge protected powerstip was added to aid the equipment. The homeowner mentioned he was experiencing poor wireless reception. To fix this issue, Audio Impact installed an Apple Airport Extreme, as a wireless access point and flush mounted it to the outside cover with a custom bracket. This allows the wifi to penetrate the entire Master Suite.
The end result is another happy and satisfied customer, who no longer has network or phone issues, and a transformed smart low voltage panel that closes!

For me, and countless other music lovers, I'm sure, it's useless to resist the Dark Side known as streaming. I really want to hold a disc (and its packaging) in my hand while listening to an album, but those days are quickly coming to a close. The death knell of physical media is likely to be hastened by products such as the new integrated amplifiers from NAD. The C 375DAC and C 356DAC (really NAD's C 375BEE and C 356BEE with MDC DACs factory installed) have been designed with streaming in mind.
Hook a Squeezebox or Sonos system up to one of these bad boys (or heck, just a plain old PC or Mac) and get ready to stream 24/96 HD music. Users will benefit from the lower levels of distortion and NAD's PowerDrive Amplifier Technology, designed for high dynamic power and low impedance drive capability.

Sweet sounds take center stage in this theater, thanks to Monitor Audio speakers, an Integra preamp and a powerful Crestron amp.
May 01, 2012 by Lisa Montgomery

It's obvious when entering this grand, custom-crafted theater, which part of its design took priority: the audio. A contact sensor on the door that leads into the 27-by-16-foot space triggers an array of small LED fixtures, showcasing a pair of high-grade Monitor Audio Platinum tower speakers. Most people would have chosen to let the huge reference speakers stay hidden behind the acoustical fabric that covers each of two speaker cavities built into custom cabinetry at the front of the room. But not this homeowner. "On a scale from 1 to 10, his passion for audio is a 20," says Ryan Lipkovicius of Audio Impact, the San Diego–based custom electronics design and installation fi rm hired to build this theater.
Several small, energy-efficient LED lights were carefully positioned within each of the cabinet's two speaker cavities. When the door to the room opens, they illuminate so the speakers can be seen through the acoustical fabric. Part of Monitor Audio's Platinum line, the speakers are the company's top performers and this theater's crowning jewel.
It would take plenty of horsepower to drive these freestanding giants, plus the rest of the Monitor Audio 9.2-channel surround-sound system. Audio Impact chose an Integra DHC-80.2 preamp for its ability to work well with other A/V components and numerous audio decoding options, and a Crestron Procise Proamp-7X400 amplifier for its pure, raw output of power.
Another important part of the audio design was the engineering of a carefully constructed and acoustically treated shell. "Sam Cavitt of Paradise Theater in San Diego calculated all of the parameters, including the room dimensions, number of seats and size and position of the screen, and the software (from Kinetics Noise Control) figured where we needed to put acoustical materials, how to position the speakers, and where to put the seats so the audio reproduction was true and smooth," says Lipkovicius. To further enhance the acoustical performance, Audio Impact and Paradise Theater instructed the contractors to "float" the room so none of its walls or ceiling would touch the walls of adjacent rooms or the floor of the room above it. Air conditioning vents, light fixtures and electrical outlets were treated with special isolation materials so that no sound would escape from the theater.

Audio Impact is proud to announce that it has won the 2012 Gold Best Theater from Electronic House.
The stage was set during the client discovery. When asked, "How would you describe your dream theater?" the client paused to reflect, then said "A special place. A room that draws us in, that brings us together as a family and where we can experience amazing sound and vision in comfort and serenity. A special room that creates an emotional bond as soon as we enter". A tall order to be sure but attainable since the team was assembled early enough in the process to design and engineer excellence.
It starts with the room; the foundation of the performance theater environment. Room ratios and construction techniques were addressed to create an ideal scenario for quiet room construction and smooth acoustical performance. Subsystems were engineered, including mechanical, electrical and lighting to assure no unwanted sound entered or propagated through them. A detailed set of construction documents guided the project contractors through each step. The result was a theater "chassis" that would support the profound performance.
The engineering continues in the design of the system. The engine that provides the horsepower for our clients envisioned experiences. Monitor Platinum PL 300 reference towers and PL 350 center are perfectly matched with 6 of the newly developed Platinum In Wall PLIW for side and rear surrounds while 2 PLW-15 Subwoofers provide the prodigious bass. These superb components are precisely matched with the rooms acoustical environment resulting in accurate sound reproduction whatever the source. Powered and processed by the Integra THX Ultra 2 DHC-80 with Audyssey and Crestron PROAMP-7X400 amplifier there is no shortage of power and enveloping quality sound. The visual elements of the theater features the Runco LS-10 1080p projector driving a 135" 1.78:1 micro-perforated Stewart Filmscreen. The LS-10 complemented with Runco's video processing provides plenty of visual excitement which is accurately rendered on the Stewart screen surface.
All the theater, house-wide audio and Crestron control systems are housed in 2 Middle Atlantic ERK racks concealed in ventilated cabinets in the rear of the room. The equipment rack cabinets and Projector compartment are constantly monitored by Crestron temperature C2N-RTHS sensors and turn on ultra quit exhaust fans if needed. The System features Crestron ADMS Intermedia Delivery System that brings movies from a Sony 400 Disk Blu-ray changer, Netflix, Hulu, The homes computers, Youtube to life at the touch of one button. There is a HD Cable box along with an Apple TV. The entire Theater Audio/Video, Lighting and HVAC is easily controlled via an in-wall removable TPS-6x wireless touchscreen remote. There are quick assess to lighting scenes and even a virtual keyboard for the ADMS.
Finally comes the blend of performance and aesthetics. The theaters acoustical components, which were specified as a result of an acoustical modeling process were integrated with the interior design artfully. The screen wall features display columns where the beautiful Platinum towers are nestled in an ideal acoustical surrounding and illuminated by concealed lighting. Behind the perforated screen sits, not only the PL350 center but custom engineered baffles to provide both expansive sound stage and accurate imaging. The whole assembly housed in a furniture grade cabinet design. Walls and ceilings feature concealed Kinetics acoustical devices behind a stretch fabric system which is complemented by pilasters, housing the surround speakers and gorgeous millwork trim throughout.
The impact upon entry is stunning, the serenity of the space is enchanting but when the system is fired up the experience is astonishing. Whether seated in the first row or the third get ready to "suspend your disbelief" for the home theater ride of your life.

You're probably thinking what I was thinking when I saw the subject line of that press release: "What the heck is an atomic preamp?" No, it doesn't replace vacuum tubes with little nuclear reactors. (Although, seriously, how long before someone does?) The "atomic" designation comes from the fact that the Rubicon integrates Antelope Audio's renowned 10M Rubidium atomic clock, which promises to be "100,000 times more stable than a traditional crystal oscillator." Combine that with the company's 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking technology, and the preamp boasts unprecedented levels of jitter management.
What does it actually do, though? As the rest of its name implies, Rubicon isn't merely a Digital-to-Analog converter; it's actually an Analog-to-Digital/Digital-to-Analog converter. Plug your turntable into the JFET phono preamp, and it samples your vinyl digitally, applying all of the same of the same digitally clockery that was used in the recording of the score for Avatar. Incoming audio from a PC or Network Attached Storage (yep, it's a streamer, too, complete with DLNA capabilities) skips the Analog-to-Digital stage and heads straight for the 384 kHz DAC (the same technology used in the company's flagship Zodiac Gold DAC).

Panasonic likes to truck their immense plasma screens around the country in semi trucks, but in this case, they may just need a bigger boat. The monster 145 inch self-illuminating flat-panel delivers IMAX levels of resolution to your local…. side of your house.
A new drive system eliminates the flicker plasma generates at high resolutions, and is definitely not designed for home use. At 16X the resolution of 1080p, you simply cannot comfortably sit close enough to the thing to see the advantage over 4K (and 4K requires you to have at least an 85″ set to see any gains over 1080p at average sitting distances), and the primary applications are going to be large public displays, and not private use.

Critical Review by Walter Sullivan
SOURCE: "Worlds Past and Future: A Christian and Several from the South," in The Sewanee Review, Vol. LXXIII, No. 4, October-December, 1965, pp. 719-26.
In the following excerpt, Sullivan discusses The Orchard Keeper and the triumph of technology over man in the novel.
The Orchard Keeper is Cormac McCarthy's first novel, but at thirty-three, McCarthy has a more mature mind and is a more finished craftsman than Miss Tyler. His prose is magnificent, full of energy and sharp detail and the sounds and smells of God's creation. The sense of fulfillment one gets from reading The Orchard Keeper is difficult to convey, because when the book is broken down to its bare bones it is likely to appear to be a trite contraption. It is written squarely in the middle of the agrarian influence, and reading it, one thinks of Faulkner here and Lytle there, or of Madison Jones or Marion Montgomery. But such impressions are fleeting and prove to be false. McCarthy is like nobody so much as he is like all the writers who have gone before him and had sense enough to see in the land a source of human salvation. He is a kind of anachronism who celebrates the traditional values in the traditional way.
His locale is the mountains around Knoxville, Tennessee; his people are the moonshiners and hunters and lawmen and farmers who live there. The action is the tapestry woven by the infinite crossings and recrossings among the inhabitants of a small community. McCarthy begins with a sequence about a thieving drifter who is killed while trying to commit murder and highway robbery against the man who has given him a ride. He ends two decades later with the son of the drifter standing beside his mother's recent grave. Within this mortal framework, the boy and the man who killed his father become loyal friends. This is, of course, a cliche, but McCarthy endows the situation with freshness by ignoring the irony, by insisting upon nothing. Rather, our attention is directed to the changing seasons, to the ceremonies of life and death, to the violations and accommodations wrought between man and nature. Men hunt and fish, endure flood and freeze, make love, get drunk, walk the ridges, run whisky, fight, and finally die. And they talk. And they display their affections. Or rather, they do not display them, and that is why so much of The Orchard Keeper seems significant.
Everything here is so low-keyed—and therefore typical of the mountaineer temperament—that to paraphrase McCarthy is to exaggerate him. The surge of the book is in its physical movements, in the cars that go careening over mountain roads, in the sound of the panther's cry at night, in the struggle between dogs and coons, or in the running of the trap line. Beneath this, piquant and almost pristine because they are never forced, are the old stories of betrayal and fidelity, of disappointment and fulfillment, of all the joy and anguish of life.
The orchard keeper is an old man, and what he keeps are the bones of Rattner, the murdered drifter. Marion Sylder, his own shoulder broken from the fight, dropped the body in the old spray-pit where it was later discovered by children. The old man does not know whose remains he tends. Certainly, he has no inclination to report their existence to the authorities. But out of his humanity, he tends what was once human, periodically dropping in a fresh evergreen to cover the skull: willingly he serves a memento mori. But he will not abide the encroachment of civilization, which comes in the form of a giant storage tank erected by some government agency on the mountain top. ("The great dome stood complacent, huge, seeming older than the very dirt, the rocks, as if it had spawned them of itself and stood surveying the world, clean and coldly gleaming and capable of infinite contempt.") The old man shoots holes in the tank, and when he refuses to come quietly the police go after him in force. They surround his house and shoot out his windows, finally shoot one of their own number and leave. But the old man is captured at last and turned over to the social workers.
As always, technology is finally triumphant. The old man is sent to the home for the aged. Sylder is caught running moonshine: there is water in the gasoline he bought at the country pump and his engine stops. The boy goes to the army and most of the others die. This is the ending.
They are gone now. Fled, banished in death or exile, lost, undone. Over the land sun and wind still move to burn and sway the trees, the grasses. No avatar, no scion, no vestige of that people remains. On the lips of the strange race that now dwells there their names are myth, legend, dust….

Adventurous illustrator by night and graphic design explorer by day. I've been a full-time freelancer ever since I finished my studies, and I'm still on a continuous learning curve. Here is where I post sketches, tidbits of bigger projects and other visual experiments of mine: http://endlessjellies.tumblr.com/ And here is where more solid projects are carefully showcased: https://www.behance.net/DianaNecsulescu I enjoy taking on projects that challenge me and I work hard for ideas I believe in. I've been working on comic books, graphic design, illustration and teaching drawing to kids for the past four years, so I'm constantly testing and improving my knowledge. I'm good with bringing ideas to life, figuring out concepts and understanding the bigger view. I love developing digital illustrations with a traditional feel, drawing animals, and experimenting with color and texture. Here's what some great clients with really fun projects had to say about their experience working with me: -after finishing a lovely project involving dressed up animals: "Diana has been an absolute joy to work with. She is very talented, meticulous and easy to talk to. She has great ideas and puts 100% into understanding your vision. " -after a short test job for a cute little robot character design: "Diana's style is absolutely world-class. Her drawings for this job were inspirational and made me think of aspiring to better branding and bigger goals. Diana was a solid communicator, approachable, and able to get her ideas across clearly. You need Diana on your team, it's that simple." -after I rendered a couple of pencil sketches in color, one the most heartwarming feedbacks I ever got: "SHe quickly finished the job with her great artistic skill.She made very hapy.A++" And there are more below. A final note: I work on projects that are exciting for me, and I need to know as much as possible about a job before starting it. That's why my application to your job might have been a question.

PORTLAND The Broadway Bridge in Portland will turn 100 next month and volunteers have come up with a creative way to honor it.
The volunteers have been knitting a huge banner to drape over the bridge. This practice is sometimes called yarn bombing and usually involves covering an object like a sign in yarn.
In this case, organizers hope to cover one whole side of the Broadway Bridge with their knitting handiwork. So far, 150 volunteers helped create one banner made of yarn that s already the city's largest knitted art installation in history.
The project will end with a block party on August 10, to celebrate the 100th anniversary.
