Trip through Turkey, Iran, Stans, Russia, Mongolia

I rode up to the border post of Bajgiran/Gaudan. It was a beautiful ride through the mountains. There were again a lot of trucks waiting. It took me about 30 minutes to get out of Iran. They stamped my passport and my carnet (important!). Nobody searched my luggage. I bought some Manat with the Iranian money that I had left. There are people who will ask you if you are interested in this transaction.
I drove on to the Turkmen post. It was lunchtime, so the customs officials had their 2-3 hour break. I was waiting in the company of some Turkish engineers, 2 Japanese tourists and local people. Waiting seemed to be a routine to them.
When there was some movement in the crowd, I queued in front of a counter hoping that this would lead to something. Unfortunately it didn't. The customs formalities were pretty confusing. I was sent here and there, officials were filling in forms for me, stamped them, I had to pay insurance for the bike, road tax, importation tax and so on. Everything was written by hand. They marked my route through Turkmenistan on a small map which I had to show in case of police checks and which I had to hand in at the border to Uzbekistan. It took me about 3 hours to get out of customs. I was very hungry and thirsty. Important for border crossings in this area: Never arrive on an empty stomach and a full bladder.
And on I went to Ashgabat.
This town is incredible. Large parts of it are new, it's clean, it's marble and glass and gold, but where are the crowds you would expect?
I was looking for a cheap guesthouse I had read about, but it was no more. There is much construction going on everywhere and entire blocks are pulled down.
This gentleman helped me to find a hotel in the centre of town. We agreed to meet later in the evening to have a beer together. BEER!!!
The driver who took us to the beer-garden. It's quite normal to wave down a private car in the street. You agree on the fare and it's your taxi.
Cold beer and spare ribs!
A lot of construction is going on in the whole city and a lot of Toyota Camry's. This is not a very common car in Europe.
This was in the Russian bazaar.
My bike was parked in front of the Hotel Ashgabat. I paid 50$ a night. It was worth it, with air-conditioning, private shower and bathroom, balcony and centrally located.
It was 40°C during the day and very warm till late at night. I knew I had to get up early in the morning to cover some kilometres before the sun was too high up.
Ashgabat is unique. The question remains, to what extent do all these empty palaces serve the common people? What about schools? hospitals? roads?
View from my balcony.

Customer Reviews of Chief-Art Rooney
It was like sitting down with Art himself3/27/2011
I purchased this film for a Christmas gift for the family. Not only being Steeler fans, but fans of the legendary Art Rooney and the history of the franchise. Watching the film felt like it was Art Rooney himself talking to us , gabbing about old times and inviting us in for a chat. Listening to old stories about his life, his experiences and his excitement and pride for the team and its players. We had completely forgotten that the man that was talking to us wasn't actually Art, but a fantastic recreation preformed by Tom Atkins . I definitely would recommend this movie to all fans of stage, sports, history, and more importantly , fans of the Steelers.

Installing baseboard receptacles
For this installation of baseboard receptacles throughout the 2nd floor of a 4-bedroom home on Kingsessing Ave. in West Philadelphia, I ran 1/2″ EMT out of basement foundation walls, up the 2-story twin's exterior and then branching via UF cable to individual baseboard locations to serve window air conditioning (window AC) units, or other high-priority grounding / high priority power quality loads, such as computers or entertainment systems to be protected by multi-outlet surge suppressors.
EMT tubular conduit (raceway) provides physical protection where the wiring method is exposed just above grade coming out of the basement. Type UF cable provides sunlight and weather resistance run exposed outside the 2nd floor. Although this wiring method minimizes intrusion (and possible plaster damage that can involve dust and dusty repairs), running exterior wiring also involves work on ladders, and can often cost more, even though it appears simpler.
Note the number of tools, some specialized, used in the installation. This task is not the trickiest electrical installation, but you might want to think twice about DIY, here, when an electrician using good tools can do it in 1/2 your time, cleaner, and probably for not much more money, once you count tool acquisition and runs to the hardware store for something you didn't remember or know you needed.

- Wiring Simplified is an outstanding book for both veteran electrical installers and new homeowners looking to save a bit by tackling easier projects, including the installation of receptacles in existing and new locations in all manner of finish surface materials. I got my copy at Home Depot ten years ago and I'm still using techniques learned from it.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
As an Israeli psychoanalyst once noted with bitter irony, the Germans will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz. The corollary to this observation is that Europeans will never forgive the Israelis and the Jews for Auschwitz.
How can one explain the latest outbreak of European loathing for the Jewish state after it intercepted a flotilla heading for Gaza in open violation of a naval blockade? The widespread condemnation Europeans have expressed toward Israel after its commandos boarded the so-called peace flotilla on May 31 – and used force only when threatened with death – signals a desire to turn every Israeli action of self-defense into absolution for the crimes of the Holocaust.
While the European Union and the UN Human Rights Council somehow manage to contain their displeasure over brutal human rights violations in Libya, Iran, Turkey, China and Russia, both organizations reacted in their standard Pavlovian way to Israel's justified measures of self-defense aboard the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara.
The UN Human Rights Council – chaired by none other than Colonel Khaddafi's government – issued a resolution condemning Israel. Meanwhile, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom blasted Israel's "disproportionate" response, and their handmaidens in the European media turned Israel into a punching bag.
The Europeans' vicious attacks on Israel are animated less by the Jewish state's foreign policy than by Europe's ongoing fixation on the Holocaust. What else could explain the presence of posters equating Israel with Nazi Germany at pro-Hamas demonstrations in Vienna? According to one recent German university study, 45.7 percent of the European respondents supported the contention that "Israel is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians." Advertisement
In their eyes, apparently, maintaining a naval blockade against a government sworn to destroy you – while providing the unfortunate people living under that government with tens of thousands of tons of supplies and humanitarian aid – now equates to looting and butchering six million people.
Wolfgang Benz, the controversial director of the Berlin Center for the study of anti-Semitism, neatly summed up this incongruity on German television when he insisted that "anti-Semitism is different from anti-Zionism."
Benz embodies the European wish to alleviate guilt by denying the weight of the Holocaust. (As the head of a center for the study of anti-Semitism, he's a particularly strange case; the German political scientist Dr. Clemens Heni discovered that Benz's beloved academic mentor was the now-deceased Karl Bosl, an outspoken Nazi who contributed enormously to spreading Hitler's ideology.)
Of course, nothing Israel has ever done can even begin to compare to the crimes of the Shoah. But to help alleviate their feelings of guilt, Europeans delegitimize Israel, ignore modern anti-Semitism, and portray Muslims – who number over one billion and whom no one seeks to eradicate from the earth – as the new persecuted Jews of Europe.
Israel's measures against the phony peace flotilla also provided Europeans an opportunity to demonstrate their hypocrisy when it comes to Jews flexing some muscle. Many of these same Europeans, after all, have attempted to shift at least some blame to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust for their own suffering, arguing that the Jews allowed themselves to be carted off to extermination camps without resistance.
That helps explain the crude theory of Ekkehart Krippendorff, a Berlin Free University professor in the 1990s, who wrote in the left-liberal Tagesszeitung, "Imagine if no German Jews had followed orders to assemble at the designated collection points for group transports – a few dozen, a few hundred, maybe a few thousand, the Germans could have dragged individually from their homes and loaded on trucks; but hundreds of thousands? Or imagine that the colonies of hundreds and thousands on the way to the train stations had simply sat down, we call them 'sit-down' strikes today ."
Europe is infatuated with passive Jews and memorial events for dead ones. When Jews actually strike back, Europeans cry that they have reacted disproportionately and failed to engage in diplomacy with the terrorist entities that seek their demise.
Europeans also vent pathological guilt about the Shoah by elevating Jewish conduct to a higher standard because of it. The standard European posture toward Israel is to present Auschwitz as a cynical form of cognitive and behavioral therapy. This particular European view has caught on with Turkey's Foreign Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, who recently told The New York Times that the Israelis are uniquely positioned to be reminded about the "the dangers and inhumanity of ghettoes [such] as the one we currently witness in occupied Gaza."
The equation of Gaza with the Warsaw ghetto is perhaps the most prevalent analogy used by Europeans in their attempts to shake off guilt about the Holocaust. Consider the German Catholic bishops Gregor Maria Hanke and Walter Mixa, who, while visiting Israel in March 2007, equated it with Nazi Germany.
"This morning we saw pictures of the Warsaw Ghetto at Yad Vashem and this evening we are going to the Ramallah ghetto," Hanke said. To Mixa, Ramallah was "ghetto-like" and "almost racism." While Pope Benedict XVI sacked his Bavarian friend Mixa in April on the basis of financial and sexual improprieties, that view enjoys many proponents across Europe.
The shoddy one-sided accounts of the flotilla raid with which Europeans have comforted themselves, and the continual denial of any Jewish right to self-defense, reveal exactly what the psychoanalyst observed: a Europe that will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz.

What is this global celebrity outburst targeting Jews all about?
As an Israeli psychoanalyst once noted with bitter irony, the Germans will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz. The corollary to this observation is that Europeans will never forgive the Israelis and the Jews for Auschwitz.
Germany needs an Israel Lobby. That was the thrust of Alan Posener's commentary on Deutschland Radio in late May. Posener, chief columnist for Germany's largest circulating Sunday newspaper, Welt am Sonntag, attended the yearly AIPAC conference in Washington and posits U.S pro-Israel solidarity as a model for Germany, where "Israel's Lobby's consists of six million dead Jews."
There is a kind of obsessive national pastime among certain mainstream and left-of-center German dailies that involves, wittingly or unwittingly, anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiments. The charged debates within American Jewry, ranging from the role of American Jewish organizations to the controversy surrounding intellectual provocateurs like Tony Judt, serve to provide new fodder to those looking to exploit the anti-Israel card in central Europe.

Take a closer look at iHome's Wi-Fi-enabled, HomeKit-compatible plug.
The 2014 Honda Accord Plug-in keeps up with the competition in some ways, but the overall package lacks cohesion, and quirky features such as the right-side camera don't add much.
The Cel-Fi is an effective solution to extend T-Mobile or AT&T signal to where you couldn't get it before, but it's cost-prohibitive for homes and hence suitable mostly or business users.
Mercedes-Benz will bring 10 PHEVs to market by 2017. The C350e is one of the first.
Pricing not available
With a built-in environmental sensors, smart USB ports, and promises of IFTTT-compatibility, these crowdfunded plugs could put some pressure on WeMo.
The FI9826P's unnecessarily tedious setup process, old-school Web interface and lack of push notifications seriously stunt this otherwise impressive Wi-Fi camera.
D-Link needs to partner with IFTTT and fix performance inconsistencies to match the versatility and convenience of Belkin's WeMo Switch and WeMo Insight Switch.
D-Link's latest Wi-Fi Smart Plug delivers Belkin WeMo Switch functionality for less.
The 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in vastly improves the flexibility and potential economy of the standard Prius formula with the simple addition of a power cable and larger, more efficient battery pack.
With its compact design and glowing reviews, this dual-port charge may not last long. Plus: best deal to date on a Phantom quadcopter!

"So, um, can I eat them now?" King Shark asked sheepishly, folding his arms behind his back.
"...No," came the growled reply. Nanaue let out a deep, disappointed huff and crossed his arms with a bit of a pout.
"And why not? They've been here for two days and you don't have the lung."
"Heart," King Shark admitted.
Killer Frost slowly turned her head to face the hulking monster of a man, causing her hired arm to take a respectful step back. "I haven't even begun to show them pain yet… and I have quite a bit of enjoyment to wring from them." She slowly smiled, her dark lips barely curling up in a sinister grin that spoke volumes about the woman and her… tastes.
"Well. How about when all of that's done, then I eat them."
Killer Frost chuckled quietly and turned away, opening the door that the girls were behind. "We'll see."
"S-s-s-s-s—so... coold..d…." Charlie whispered. She had been stripped down when she woke up, along with Terra – for some reason, some sort of cruel joke, Killer Frost had left her with her goggles and mask, along with the simple white sports bra and panties that she wore beneath her suit. It was as if she cared not for the pain she could inflict by learning her secret identity – it didn't matter. Charlie was a super-powered teen, and Killer Frost had no intention of letting her escape this dungeon of ice. Letting Charlie – Misfit – cling to the hope of returning to her life, the cruelty of giving her that, was worth not taking every last scrap.
"C-c-c-c-can you… b-b-b-b-ounce…?" Atlee whispered. She had not been so lucky when it came to clothes. Under her super-suit she had kept only her pair of black ladybug panties, and even now she was sitting on the ice-slicked steel floor, hugging her arms around her breasts in a feeble attempt to retain her modesty, and, more importantly, keep the cold away from such a… sensitive place.
"…N-n-n-n-ope…" Charlie whimpered, closing her eyes and trying to focus, trying to… to use her powers, any power, even to teleport a foot away. "T-t-too cold, c-can't… concentrate…." The redhead was showing that she was physically taking the toll of the cold – her skin was paler than usual, a bluish tinge overtaking her lips and fingertips. Atlee at least had the fact that she was a terran to fall back on, and her body was naturally resilient to temperatures in ways that a normal metahuman like Misfit had no hope to emulate.
Atlee drew a little closer, crawling forward with one hand and her knees. She leaned her head against Charlie's freckled shoulder, shivering against the other teen and finally wrapping her arms around her. "Don't… d-don't… ddd-don't leave me, Ch-Charlie… I need you…" the stratan whispered, holding her breath as Misfit's eyes began to roll back slightly. She was barely holding on to life, unable to use her powers or even struggle away from this chamber.
When King Shark had taken the two back to Crystal's lair, she'd had him put them in a special chamber, kept cold by cryogenics technology that had been perfected, and subsequently borrowed, from Dr. Victor Fries. After all, despite her powers having waned, she had to keep up the illusion of being an unstoppable creature of the cold – Fries's tech had made it all too possible for Frost to emulate exactly that, keeping the two teens unable to escape, and more importantly, in pain.
Now, she strolled casually into the room in all of her glory – she had eschewed the cane she'd been using earlier, even if it meant that she would get exhausted after this brief exhaustion.
"I can make all of this end, you know…" she purred as she walked inside, her eyes lingering on the frozen, contorted figures of the two girls with a sadistic smile. "And I think you know exactly how to make that happen."
Atlee turned her face up to the ivory-skinned woman, her modesty hidden by Charlie's body as she hugged the human girl close to her. "Please… stop this. I… I can't… I can't…." She couldn't access the earth beneath the steel of this chamber, couldn't feel it the way she was supposed to. But she couldn't say that… could she?
"Can't what, beautiful little thing?" Frost's sinister smile widened, and she crouched carefully beside Atlee. Despite the fact that she was conscious and functional, she didn't consider the stratan a threat – her muscles were contracted visibly, her skin covered in pale goosebumps. She caressed a few chalk-white fingers along the girl's shoulder, her touch both sensual, teasing, and cruel – agonizing in the cold of this chamber.
"I can't… I c-can't watch her freeze… y-you're killing her!" Atlee shut her eyes, trying to ignore the older woman's touch and squeezing her arms around her friend, clinging against her and shivering, hopeless to warm her up in the deathly chill of their room. "Please, I'll do whatever you want… just get her somewhere warm, please don't hurt her. She d-doesn't deserve this!" Atlee's teeth rattled between words, every limb tightened and shivering against the cold.
"No… she doesn't. But you can end her pain, little alien. Tell me… where to find the Heart of Ice." That sinister, predatory grin persisted as the woman drew closer, her free hand cupping Misfit's chin and tilting it up, the redhead having lost consciousness some time ago. "And this beautiful little thing can have a nice robe and a cup of hot cocoa, just the way you want. Hell – you can go too, if you want. Though – you could always stay in the cold, here, and let me keep you warm…." Killer Frost nuzzled Charlie's cold cheek suggestively, her dark, icy eyes never leaving Atlee's purple ones for an instant.
"…In her apartment… I saw a little lead box in one of the cupboards. That's got to be it." Terra thought her vertebrae would shake loose, as hard as she was shivering. Frost's icy fingers on her skin only brought spikes of burning sensation amidst the sub-zero chill of the steel chamber. "Please, just let us out of here."
Killer Frost's eyes flashed with malicious glee. "Wonderful. Nanaue?"
A disgruntled cough of acknowledgment came from outside the chamber, that of King Shark.
"Bring them to the prisoner's suite… keep a close watch on them."
"Are you sure?" King Shark grunted. "One can teleport I think."
"They'll be fine. By the time they've recovered, I'll have the Heart of Ice." She leaned in, placing a soft, crisp kiss on Atlee's lips, plumes of steam sizzling up from between their mouths for just a moment before Crystal pulled away. "And then they'll be no threat. Hmhmhmhm… heheheheheheheh."

Riding in europe next few weeks. .
Hi All. . .
I'm planning to jump on my bike in southern uk early to mid next week and head over to europe for a few weeks riding before the winter sets in and am wondering if anyone out there might want to join me for any of my trip? very very loose plan, based on where i have friends to visit. . . but hoping to head through france. into spain, prob do some germany and maybe head through poland(?) into the ukraine to see friends in kiev. . . (prob before heading south if i do it. . .)
have any of you been through eastern europe at all and could you give me any advice esp re safety and border crossings in the region? i am solo female rider used to covering long distances alone in australia and new zealand, but have not travelled at all in eastern europe. . . all advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone might be out on the road in the next few weeks perhaps i'll see you there to compare notes over a cold beer!

Border crossings on your route are gone except for UK -> mainland Europe and Poland/Slovakia -> Ukraine. Entering Ukraine might take a little bit of time and be sure to have proper insurance coverage for Ukraine. All the countries you mention are easy to travel in using the usual precautions. In Ukraine, there might be some cops trying to earn some extra cash, but that's about it.
What might be a little problem is this thing called winter. The route you mention would at least take 6 weeks and this brings you to the beginning of November, where pass roads might be closed, there could be snow, you have short and very cool days.
So maybe it's better to concentrate on one part of your trip, say Spain, and really enjoy that instead of rushing all across Europe in potentially miserable conditions.
If you however pass by Vienna, let me know and I can show you around!
Have a safe and cool trip!

What bike are you riding on?
Long distance riding in Europe is not the same as in Australia. For starters in Italy/France/Spain and many others, expect to pay very high prices for tolls if you want to travel ion the motorways - between 5-10 Euro per 100k's travelled on the motorway. This alone severely dints how fast you can travel. As you get further east, the quality of the roads deteriorates, it's no big deal, but it means you can't do the 700-900k days that you might be used to back home :)
I could easily ride out 800-1200k days in Australia where the roads are built to cover distance, but here that seems so much harder to do, and plus, so unnecessary given the proximity of everything to everything else.
Also, in the cooler weather over here it is much harder to do long days. Make sure you are well equipped. If I could do it again, I would get heated pants/vest/socks that run off the bike.
Plan to get the other stuff done first then finish up in Spain where it will be warmer.
I felt safer in Eastern Europe than I did in Western Europe, I felt less worried about my bike being stolen in Romania and Bulgaria than I did in London.
As said already, hard to give tips on where to go as the winter will be bearing down. Realistically though, I agree with previous poster, that you might be better off trying to do a smaller amount. Maybe cut straight through France to the alps in Switzerland and get some nice Alpine riding in before it gets too cold and before they close the roads for the end of the season. Then head to Romania/Bulgaria and if it starts to get too cold you can head straight away south for Albania/Montenegro/Macedonia etc. then make your way back up along the coast through the Balkans, Croatia/Bosnia etc. maybe take a ferry to the south of Italy and then follow the coast from Rome around to Barcelona and then you will be back in Spain before it gets too cold.
TBH The lower part of Europe was more interesting than Germany/Poland/Hungary etc. The Baltics were great, but too far out I think for you in your time frame.
Add me on FB as per the link in my sig, we will be in Salamanca in Spain as of the end of next week and staying there for a few weeks. Towards the 20th of October we will be making our way up the west coast of France to Belgium before riding back to London. Not exactly sure on our time frame/route yet though.

and thanks for the responses and advice - duely noted!. . .
yes, i know its a little late in the year to be starting a trip but i didn't really know i'd be here til i got here!! and so now here i am and as always, itchy feet and a need to ride!!!
all things considered it would seem that kiev might be a bit of a pipe-dream on the bike at this stage! perhaps a fly in visit and then leave it by bike til the spring if i'm still on this side of the world!!!
yeah i covered quite a lot of france plus tour de mont blanc with a friend a few years ago, tho i was pillion, and it was fantastic - quite a different way of riding to aus, i'd agree jet!
so rudl, thank you for your advice and invite to vienna - thats a place i have never been so perhaps a place to visit with a guide to show me round now thank you!!
and jet, thanks for your advice too - i will check out the weather charts for as far ahead as they dare guess. . . and then i'll take it from there! but yes i'd fully agree that riding cold and wet unnecessarily is no fun at all! perhaps i should just hang out for the east next year and maybe keep on going and ride this bike back to aus. . . . oh i'm on a 96 speed triple btw!
i will keep you posted - i definitely want to get to barcelona to see a mate there so timing could just work out to head back to uk. . .
happy adventures! xx

If you've just a few weeks starting this week or so, you can still enjoy most of France, but drifting south would probably be a good bet. I just came back from a quick four day trip in the southern areas of the Massif Central, the Lozere and Aveyron. It's a little known area that doesn't attract hordes of tourists, has some of the best riding roads, and lots of wilderness.
This is season change weather but it's not yet severe. Just carry a mix of gear for rain or sun. Some of the plateaus can get around 4000 feet but there are numerous gorges to see and ride as well. And, it's dead on your way to Barcelona!

We already have an Australian coming along on the strength of this thread along with two other UK riders,riding down...and a French rider at present also...
You could return via Barcelona?
As usual anyone else reading this is welcome to come along too....

Oh, forgot one detail. Marseille is one of the worst cities in France due to the mafias (yes, plural), illegals, bent cops and bought gov't officials. So don't even think about riding in or around the city if you can avoid it. On the other hand, the calanques (cliffs on the Med) near Cassis are beautiful and the roads in the hills NE of Aubaine are ripe for 'spirited' riding.
Bonne route!

"Dreams" was made in collaboration with Barry Bermange (who originally recorded the narrations). Bermange put together The Dreams (1964), a collage of people describing their dreams, set to a background of electronic sound. Dreams is a collection of spliced/reassembled interviews with people describing their dreams, particularly recurring elements. The program of sounds and voices attempts to represent, in five movements, some sensations of dreaming: running away, falling, landscape, underwater, and colour.

Max Mathews (1926–2011) Interview with Geeta Dayal for Frieze
Max Mathews Radio Baton Demonstration
Rhizome contributor Geeta Dayal recently interviewed Max Mathews for Frieze magazine. Sadly the pioneer of digital music (creating MUSIC in 1957) passed away three weeks later. It's a fascinating conversation going over the history of computer music and Mathew's many high profile collaborations, while explaining the creative energy at Bell Labs at the time.
Your boss actually encouraged you to take time off from work to write MUSIC? Bell Labs sounds like it was an amazing place.
Bell Labs was a golden era. Golden for several things. One was that the research money to support it was gotten as a tax on the earnings or the profits of the telephone companies. We got it as a lump sum. The vice president in charge of research, William O. Baker, insisted that there be no strings attached to the money and that we could use it in the way we thought was best. So a lot of very important things were done with this support, or byproducts of things that were used in telephony. There were the radio telescopes, and the measurement of the background radiation with the very low-noise antennas that we developed that supported the Big Bang theory, and there was of course the transistor. And there were all sorts of speech codings that are still very important, and error correcting codes. The departments originally only hired Ph.D. physicists, mathematicians, and maybe a few chemists. Then they gradually let in some engineers. The whole research department, the position you took was a member of staff – MTS, member of technical staff. That was the highest position in the research department! [laughs]...
What's your attitude about how difficult it was for you in the 1950s to make computer music, versus making computer music ...

Fairlight: "The Rolls Royce of synthesizers"
The Register covers the history of Fairlight synthesizers. "An Australian-made music production system based on the Motorola 6800 processor, the Fairlight was - at well over £20,000 – a stupendously pricey piece of kit." Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel were early adopters...
How Large is an Atom of Music? A Tour through Today's Spectral Music and Software at UCSD
Well, the short answer is .093 seconds. That's about the shortest amount of time mathematicians need to generate a full analysis of a sound's component frequencies.
On an even smaller scale, computers typically store sound information in 44100 samples per second. This makes up the typical waveform view of sound that most are accustomed to seeing. However, each sample only gives information about amplitude (or volume), which is a pale portrait of sound. Sound in the physical world is essentially an unfolding of waves over time. Therefore, when translating from physical to digital, frequency information over time is essential to give a meaningful atomic definition of any sound.
Armed with the calculus technique of the Fast Fourier transform, mathematicians typically take the amplitude values from a mere .093 seconds of sound and draw a complete audio portrait. This portrait consists of the volumes of each component frequency that makes up a complex sound.
Thus, the Fourier transform is the key tool for spectralists, a loosely related group of composers and scientists whose goal is to analyze and resynthesize sound using sound's most basic digital elements. Spectralists literally rip apart sound into its tiniest grains and develop diverse strategies to reconfigure those microsounds into a new sound barely resembling its original form. Between the two poles of granular analysis and synthesis, musicians have only begun to chart a new world of expression.

Video Roundup: Severed Heads
Originally founded in 1979 by Richard Fielding, Andrew Wright and Tom Ellard, Severed Heads was an electronic group based in Sydney. They used synthesizers, tape loops, and an array of electronics to yield a distinctive sound, one which could most easily be described as industrial music, which later developed into abstract pop. While the lineup changed over the years, Tom Ellard has been the main continuing force in the group, up until his announcement of its end in 2008. In 1983, Severed Heads began integrating live video in their performances, which became a mainstay in their work. This post collects videos of the group, the majority of which date from the early 1980s, and many of which document their use of video synthesizers.

Interview with James Voorhies of Bureau for Open Culture
James Voorhies is the Director and Chief Curator of Bureau for Open Culture (BOC). BOC operates through exhibitions, screenings, performances, and informal discussions that happen in and outside of the gallery space. Working with a variety of collaborators, Voorhies has sought to question the role of institutions in the dissemination of various art practices. I got to know Voorhies when we collaborated on the BOC's The New Administration of a Fine Arts Education, a conversation series with leading individuals of contemporary art that took place at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio. This spring and summer, BOC will present two projects. Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven, from April 5-29th at Bennington College, and I Am Searching for Field Character, presented at Mass MoCA this summer. Incorporating a series of public conversations, performances, installations, workshops and a beer garden, BOC will be bringing artists, writers, designers and thinkers to North Adams, Massachusetts to explore the economic and social character of the cultural laborer. I took this opportunity to talk to him about BOC and his hopes for the future of his organization.
How would you describe the mission of Bureau for Open Culture?
The mission is to reconsider the art exhibition as a new kind of learning site. We don't necessarily prioritize the gallery as a site for engaging with art or seek to provide an absolute conclusion to the ideas exhibitions raise. To do this, BOC welcomes people from disciplines outside of the usual visual arts⎯landscape architecture, literature, philosophy, design and activism⎯to intermingle. We produce projects that take place in storefronts, gardens, libraries and unused industrial spaces within a wider consideration of the nature of contemporary art and culture.
The exhibitions are made with an awareness of the effect that an art institution⎯as a physical space and a concept⎯has on how art is produced and how people experience it. A lot of my interests in the structural behavior of the art institution come out of watching organizations like Office of Contemporary Art Norway, Shedhalle in Zurich and IASPIS in Stockholm. These are institutions of critique that have taken up the kind investigations of institutions found in artistic practices like those of Michael Asher, Hans Haacke and Andrea Fraser. These institutions were not long ago categorized loosely within a term called "New Institutionalism." But, I don't think that term is used so much today.
Using alternative spaces, Bureau for Open Culture tends to mediate more strongly or maybe less didactically between visitors and art. Moving the action out of the gallery is one way we do this, but I also care about what viewers will get out of a connection with a visiting artist or a talk. For example, the collective artist Claire Fontaine participated in the exhibition Descent to Revolution. Part of their contribution to the exhibition was to give a talk related to Lyotard's Libidinal Economy. I organized a weekly reading group for Lyotard's book with about 10 to 12 participants who discussed the book, which is really difficult to grasp, alongside images of work by Claire Fontaine. We had participants from all sorts of backgrounds⎯students of philosophy and comparative studies, activists and visual artists. We did this over the course of five to six weeks in a kind of preparation for Claire Fontaine's visit to Columbus. While we did not devour the book as much as one could, the reading group created an investment and interest in Claire Fontaine. We had an incredible turnout for their talk, a great conversation. The talk took place in an unused storefront space where other projects and actions were occurring during the course of the exhibition. It was late October and the rundown space with its leaking ceiling and lack of heat helped reduce the formal effect of the institution to put audience and artists on closer levels. I really liked the whole experience.
There are also lots of private moments between visiting artists and the community. Those moments, to me, are as important as the public engagement. So, all of this combined is what I mean by rethinking the exhibition as a new kind of learning site.

I KNOW nobody but a preemie mom would even THINK this question, but do you guys think a baby can have too much excersise? devin has been eating and gaining weight well and was up to 15 lbs.9 oz last month. (3 months adjusted). hes now 4 months adjusted and we have a synagis/weigh in appt. tues and im afraid he hasnt gained much this month because of how much his activity level had increased.
he LOVES his jumperoo and will spend a long time in there if i let him. i usually take him out after 20 minutes. he goes in about 4-5 times a day. when hes in his bouncy seat, hes always kicking and bouncing like crazy, he rolls around during tummy time and is always doing mini baby crunches to get himself into a sitting position. he sits good on his own and hates being reclined now, so i imagine he'll have a 6 pack soon haha!!
he still eats good and has increased his volume by 1-2 ounces a feeding since last month, probably to make up for all te burned calories. i know i cant exactly STOP him from being active and its obviously a good thing that he is active but i just worry about his weight. should i worry, or just let him keeo jumping away? (i guess im most concerned about jumperoo time, sometimes its the only way hes happy, but i feel like it may give him too much excersise).

Attractive CSA Half, AU501861 50C Scott Restrike AU50 PCGS. Breen-8002. The New Orleans mint was the only Southern mint immediately capable of producing silver coinage. However, the provisional government closed the mint because of the "stern necessities of war" as Secretary of the Treasury Memminger phrased it. Only four original half dollars were struck. The restrikes were produced in 1879 from the CSA die on 1861-O halves that had the reverses planed off. As a result, all restrikes are weakly struck on the obverse. This particular piece shows the expected loss of detail on the obverse, while the reverse is strong as always. Probably carried briefly as a pocket piece, just a bit of friction can be made out. The fields are deep gray with bright high points on the devices. (PCGS# 340402)

Originally written on Fox Sports Ohio | Last updated 4/16/12
Ricky Rubio brought the Minnesota Timberwolves instant hope. Not just hope for the future, but for this season. Rubio teamed with Kevin Love, the self-proclaimed Best Power Forward in the Game. They were being groomed under Rick Adelman, the new coach with NBA Finals experience. They added No. 2 overall pick Derrick Williams. For a while, there was buzz. The T-Wolves, after having missed the playoffs for seven straight seasons, were relevant again. Then came the All-Star break. Then Rubio badly injured his knee and was lost for the season. Then Williams started playing mostly like a rookie. And considering hes indeed a rookie, you cant really blame him. Basically, within the past month or so, the Wolves began to look like the inexperienced bunch they are. But in their case, its really no big deal. Nobody expected them to contend for a playoff spot this season. You could even say that by doing so early, they overachieved. At the very least, they appear stable heading into the fu...

I work as a mental health clinician (but please don't email me just for a diagnosis)...actually you can because I need the practice. lol. I make friends easily and do a pretty good job keeping them around. Most of my close friends I've had for many many years. I have a small, but amazing family who doesn't live too far away- which is nice I guess most of all I just like to go out and have fun. It's important to not be serious all the time. Works serious...weekends shouldn't be! Who am I looking for? I do not have a "type." I DO know I am attracted to someone who can make me laugh, is smart, and can keep up with me ;) So if you know this guy send him my way and if you are this guy....I hope to hear from you soon

Healthcare Signups Up in WV
More people are signing up for health insurance in West Virginia through the new marketplace. Enrollment in the state has jumped to nearly 8,000 people. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says as of Feb. 1, 44 percent of those enrolled through the federal exchange in West Virginia were ages 55 to 64, 22 percent were ages 45 to 54 and 13 percent were ages 35 to 44. Nearly six in 10 of the state enrollees are female. Open enrollment in the health insurance marketplace and the state's expanded Medicaid program began Oct. 1 and will continue through March 31.
Nursing Program To Be Added to UC Beckley
The University of Charleston plans to establish an associate degree nursing program at its Beckley campus in response to area demand for more nurses. The program would fill a void left by the closure of Mountain State University. The University of Charleston took over Mountain State's campuses in Beckley and Martinsburg on Jan. 1, 2013, after Mountain State lost its accreditation. The nursing program would require board approval.
Trash Schedule Runs A Day Behind
Because of yesterday's weather, the trash pickup schedule in Charleston had to be adjusted. Thursday trash pickup routes will run today, and Friday routes will run on Saturday.
In-home Water Testing Underway
In-home water testing is underway in two Kanawha County homes, and eight other homes across the are impacted by the January 9th Freedom Industries chemical spill. The testing looks at drinking water quality including the odor, then in the next phase health-risks will be assessed with medical professionals. Results of the tests aren't available yet, but the testing has begun in Kanawha and Cabell Counties.
Musty Smell May Not Be Related to the Water Itself
Kanawha County Schools and members of the Kanawha Charleston Health Department looked into issues with bottled water Wednesday at three schools after there were complaints of a musty odor. The affected schools were Sharon Dawes Elementary, John Adams Middle School and Andrew Jackson Middle School. The musty smell may be confined to one particular brand of water, and tests have concluded the smell may be related to where the water was store prior to being shipped to the schools.
Slurry Cleanup Continues
It may be a week before all the evidence of Tuesday's coal slurry spill is gone, although crews have been making progress with the cleanup. The slurry spilled in Fields Creek and DEP Cabinet Secretary Randy Huffman said the spill did impact the Kanawha River. While the cleanup is happening, state mine inspectors have shut down Patriot Coal's Kanawha Eagle Prep Plant near Winifrede. Huffman says the slurry contains heavy metals and other toxins, but not Crude MCHM, which is what spilled at the Freedom Industries Plant January 9th.
Settlement Closed After Upper Big Branch Mine Explosion
Alpha Natural Resources says federal prosecutors have closed a $210 million settlement stemming from a West Virginia mine explosion that killed 29 workers in 2010. Under the settlement, Bristol, Va.-based Alpha would face no criminal charges in the Upper Big Branch explosion as long as it abided by the agreement's terms. The agreement required Alpha to compensate the miners' families, bankroll cutting-edge safety improvements and pay for years of violations by the mine's former owner, Massey Energy. Alpha executive vice president and general counsel Vaughn Groves says in a news release that the company has met or exceeded its obligations.
New Bill Protecting Water Supply Clears Another Hurdle
A legislative committee unanimously passed an amended bill Wednesday that proposes new regulations for above-ground storage tanks following last month's chemical spill. The latest version of the bill passed by the House health committee would require annual inspections for tanks like the one at Freedom Industries that leaked chemicals January 9th. The proposal also requires public water systems to have plans in place to protect their water from spills, and react quickly when they occur. The bill has two more House committee stops. The Senate already passed its own version.
Raleigh County Road Reopens
The state Division of Highways has reopened a section of road that had been closed for weeks because of a rock fall The section of West Virginia Route 3 in the Raleigh County area of Sundial has been closed since late December because of fallen rocks, according to a news release from the DOH. It's slow going though, and speeds are reduced to 15 mph until the road can be repaved this spring. But the hillside has been stabilized, and the repairs have been made to ensure it's safe for motorists.
Clendenin Firefighter Will Be Laid To Rest Today
Funeral services are happening today for a Clendenin Firefighter who passed away last weekend in a car accident. Volunteer firefighter Lt. Nathan Smith's funeral will be held at 2 p.m. today at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Elkview. Smith was a 13-year veteran of the Clendenin Fire Department.

On this episode of Reality Cast, RH Reality Check Reporting Fellow Teddy Wilson explains what's going on with anti-choice protests in New Orleans. Also, I discuss Todd Akin's comeback, and how the fallout from Hobby Lobby continues.
Last week activists interrupted a New Orleans Unitarian Universalist service to hector the congregants, demonstrating how the anti-choice movement is seeking to attack the long-standing American tradition of religious tolerance.
Operation Save America protesters have focused primarily on harassing the staff, volunteers, and patients of reproductive health-care clinics in New Orleans this week. They held a "wake" for what was said to be an aborted fetus in Jackson Square, and gathered at the home of a physician who is an abortion provider.
The protests appear to be motivated in part by the construction of a new Planned Parenthood facility in the city that will offer a full range of reproductive health services.

Welcome to Stokely.co.uk – the lifestyle blog
Here at Stokeley we're dedicated to documenting fun things that you can do to improve your lifestyle, or just general things we've done, or things that interest us.
There's no real rhyme nor reason to our ramblings, but we do hope that you will find them entertaining, and perhaps even amusing.
Our main interests include; music, keeping in shape, investments and home improvement, but we're not going to limit ourselves to those topics, and will most likely throw in the odd curve ball topic from time to time (just to keep you on your toes!).
Anyway, feel free to have a bit of a nose around, and we're happy to have you here!
