Sobre mí
to explore and make music with various people / Climb things I shouldn't
Lets see... to start, this is the first profile update I've done in years.
I am a musician, a rock climber, and a web designer. Sometimes I train for climbing (read: bouldering) too much and hurt myself... (actually most of the time; damned weak tendons / ligaments!). In between I teach guitar and code websites :) Sometimes I think too much... sometimes I don't think enough.
I am usually, if not always, down for random adventures. I am not nearly traveled enough given my love of random adventures.
Summer days in Vancouver are usually spent on the beach with a guitar/book, in the boulder fields in Squamish, or consuming too much craft beer (or a combination thereof).
I enjoy discussions, debates, exploration, and generally anything thoughtful or arty.
I aim to continue learning as much as I can on a daily basis, be it music or history or current events or on a more personal level.
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
I have had tons of CS experience since I attended my first meeting in Montreal years ago. I've made many friends, hosted several people, and surfed many places. I've drank with, climbed with, hiked with, jammed music with, and much more, with may CS'ers in many different cities.
I even climbed a big mountain with fellow CS'ers after they were kind enough to include me in their rope team :)
CS introduced me to some of the most memorable people and experiences in my life. Lasting friendships, 1-off adventures, the kindness of strangers, and much more.
In other words, woot.
I like music, all kinds. I enjoy reading and conversation about things. I boulder a lot and occasionally try to remind myself to climb roped routes too. I also want to do more mountaineering.
Adventures are always a good thing too.
And finally, people... people with a passion for life and for other people...
urban centers and cities that are alive, and remote mountaintops untouched by most.

Música, películas y libros
I love most to all types of music... and play most of it as well! Jazz, funk, wordly, fusion, blues, rock, classical, metal, indie, and some less classifiable stuff.
For books my favorite would be engaging fiction with existential themes.. or good philosophy essays / aphorisms.
Movies - Depends on my mood... sometimes anything simply entertaining... though I do love a good doc. Big Lebowski is always classic too. And kungfu epics.
Algo increíble que he hecho
-Was in downtown Chicago when Obama got elected.
-Was on wall street when the market started crashing.
-Accidentally found my way into a private luthier's party at the jazz fest in montreal and ended up playing on stage for the worlds best guitar makers.
-While standing on the summit of Mt.Baker, saw steam and gas shooting out of the crater below us. (apparently its an active volcano... hahaha.. who knew?)
Enseña, aprende, comparte
I'm always happy to jam music with new people!
I can also educate people on our local climbing / bouldering areas around Vancouver. I have a healthy stash of crash pads, guides, and knowledge. (sorry no rope / draws but I do know tons of crags to climb at if you have the gear)
I am also happy to trade thoughts on various subjects concerning philosophy, history, world events... etc.
Currently I would like to learn more about alpine climbing / mountaineering / ice climbing.

The stunning news that Devo guitarist Bob Casale passed away from heart failure earlier this week was as shocking to the band as it was to their fans. Nobody was as devastated as Jerry Casale, his brother and bandmate of 40 years. We spoke to Jerry on the phone about Bob's life and legacy.
Bob was one of the five gears of Devo that made the engine run. He helped create a body of work that put the new in new wave and changed the way a lot of people thought about music and a lot of ideas they had about culture.
Devo Guitarist Bob Casale Dead At 61
He was integral in the creation of our music. On our cover of "Satisfaction," he created that guitar line and then we all started contributing parts around it until it became "Satisfaction." But he started that. Mark Mothersbaugh had a five-chord progression on a clavinet that became "Gut Feeling," but Bob Casale came up with the arpeggiated, revolving, tingling guitar line that sounds like a twisted, devolved Byrds riff. He was constantly doing things like that. He was good at playing guitar lines like on our twisted rendition of "Secret Agent Man." He could play exactly like a machine.
In the later days of Devo, Bob was also instrumental because we used a lot of sequencers. Bob was very facile and adept at programming those early, tedious sequencers that we were forced to use. He made them sound good and he created plausible sounding note patterns that weren't too busy. He was very good at that. That's where he shined. He became more of a programmer and an engineer than a guitar player.
I had four siblings, but Bob was my closest brother in age. We were born four years apart and we bonded very, very early on. We also loved the same sort of music when we were young. We got really great radio stations out of Detroit, so we were listening to a lot of Motown and R&B and Chicago blues. That was our true love other than big pop music hits like the Rolling Stones and the Beatles and Kinks and James Brown.
Bob was a self-taught guitar player. I started playing bass when I was 17. He began playing guitar when he was 15 and I had gone onto college. His first band was a surf band called the Wipeouters. We didn't see each other much in that period.
We hooked up as musicians when I was in graduate school. We started talking about these Devo concepts and I started infecting him with the Devo bug. Mark Mothersbaugh and I got serious about our concepts so we enlisted our brothers. I talked my brother Bob into it and Mark talked his brother Bob into it. Suddenly, we were a real band. We never played together until we started jamming as Devo in 1974.
When Bob graduated from high school he went into radiology and became a radiologist technician. For the first three or so years of the band, he was leading a double life between Devo and his work as a radiologist. He even came into one of the gigs at The Crypt in his scrubs. A lot of people told Bob to stop playing in Devo in those early days. Luckily, he had trust. That's one of at the advantages of brothers. He didn't accept disrespectful assessments of our experiments. We were feared and objects of derision all at the same time. They felt sorry for us in a way. We couldn't even get a date
Devo was certainly, in the beginning, a true unit. We were the Five Musketeers. It took everyone's energy and everyone's contributions, whether or not they wre the primary songwriters. Of course, Mark and I wrote all the songs, but without Bob Mothersbaugh and Bob Casale those songs would have never been fleshed out into full Devo expressions. What people liked about us was that we were playing as if we were a machine. But we were playing for real with no click tracks, no sequencers or anything in the beginning. People didn't believe what they were hearing. It was so tight, like white robot versions of James Brown's Famous Flames. It really took Bob's style of guitar playing to complete that, both Bob's. They could play very staccato very exactly. They both had the willingness to play lines that no self-respecting guitar player would play because that's not how you use a guitar. They were with us, they trusted us.
Bob kept his day job until we got an invitation from A&M Records to travel out to California and showcase for them in the summer of 1977. He let his whole career go and we drove out in Bob's car plus an old equipment van. Our family was very concerned and disappointed when Bob decided to go with us. He was the guy with his head screwed on straight, the even-keeled and well-tempered one. I was the whack artist going off the rails. They were really afraid that he had been led astray.
There's a long history of brothers fighting in bands, but we didn't have any of those problems. I think that's because Bob Mothersbaugh and Bob Casale were just really, really solid team players. They weren't vying for any kind of takeover. They lent themselves to the enterprise to make it all work as a team.
Mark and I received the most attention, but Bob never minded being in the background. He knew we respected him. I set up the band as a corporation with publishing being held by the band. Other than songwriter royalties, the band shared evenly in every other aspect of income. That showed respect for anyone who was willing, in the lean years, to sit there for eight hours in a basement working on one lick over and over and getting nothing for it. They all deserved to share in the spoils. We had a fair system.
Bob did enjoy it when the band broke big in the early 1980s. It's always very nice to suddenly be recognized and rewarded for something you actually want to do and nobody knew they wanted until you made them want it. But of all of us in the band, Bob was the tamest. He got married pretty early on. He didn't have many wild years. By 1984 he had children, so he was more of a guy that was family oriented. He was content to be a grill master and stay home and cook for his family.
When Devo took a break in the early 1990s, Bob started to assist Mark at Mutato Muzika. All Mark wanted to do at that point was score TV shows. He was scoring Rugrats. He needed help and Bob had become a very good audio engineer and a great technician, so Bob started working for Mark. It never even occurred to him to go back to radiology. Too much time had passed and he just loved the music world.
In the mid-1990s, we began to play shows and festivals again. Bob just loved playing live. He was like me. We wanted to write songs, have a voice in the marketplace and play live as the payoff. We never lost our energy onstage and when we got older we made fewer mistakes and actually played better.
I last saw Bob three days before he died. I talked to him the night before he died. Nothing was wrong. He died of heart failure, but that was the end result, not the cause. He had some kind of a breach of his stomach lining where he started losing blood into his stomach. They had to get it out of him and give him new blood because once blood is in your stomach, it's useless. They couldn't stop the loss of blood in time, so his blood pressure went so low that his heart muscle couldn't handle severe low blood pressure.
I think he'd want Devo to carry on. I don't know what's going to happen, though. If it was was up to me, it would. I'd make sure a portion of our earnings went to his children, because they need help. The only time Devo ever played without him was back in 1973 when we did a one-off before he joined the band. We were only four guys. Any future shows without him will be the first time playing without him in forty years.
I have no idea what the future holds, but what we had planned for the 40th anniversary was to go out live and play all the early, experimental songs we wrote that appeared on Hardcore Devo, the ones we had well before we had a record deal. We haven't played those songs in 40 years. Songs like "Mechanical Man," "Space Girl Blues," "She Didn't Know I Was a Midget." We wanted to show people what we were doing at the time by using the same instruments, really hardcore and raw. We were the White Stripes and the Black Keys in an era before those guys. We wanted to show people what it was like to actually hear whacked-out parts being played together. All those plans are on hold, though. We could find a way to do it because the songs were so minimal.
A lot of the headlines I've seen have just said "'Whip It' Guitarist Dead." That's how this dumbed-down culture works. De-evolution is real and just getting worse.

Orbit Receives New Order in Excess of $2.1 M for Common Transponder Program
- Expects Additional Orders to be Placed By 2010 Year-End
Dennis Sunshine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orbit International, commented, "With this $2.1 million contract award, our customer has placed RCU orders well in excess of the amount initially contemplated under the terms of a prior long-term agreement (LTA). Over the life of our participation on this program, we have delivered more than 3,600 RCUs to support CXP Identification Friend or Foe ("IFF") critical program requirements. As noted, in addition to this order, we expect that the option to procure additional RCUs will be exercised by our customer by year-end 2010 with deliveries in 2011. In addition, due to ongoing demand for our RCUs in various configurations, we have provided our customer with pricing for out year requirements beyond 2012."

Sunshine concluded, "Our RCUs have been deployed and are operational as a critical part of the U.S. military operations in the Persian Gulf. Given the success and visibility of our RCU units in support of U.S. Navy, Marine (NAVICP) and U.S. Army IFF operations (CECOM), other prime contractors have inquired about modifications to our current mechanical and software configurations for a variety of cockpit applications that will require Mode 5 and Mode S capabilities. We are currently responding to a number of strategic opportunities for our qualified, base lined RCU."

Councilman Dingfelder Aims to Fix Ethical Dilemma
Council member aims to fix ethical dilemma
Developers' deals with neighborhoods have come under fire, so he wants the city to help.
By JANET ZINK, Times Staff Writer
Published August 2, 2007
TAMPA - With a debate under way about the ethics of neighborhood groups taking money from developers, one City Council member thinks he has the answer.
John Dingfelder wants the city to come up with a way to make it clearly kosher for developers to contribute to affordable housing, sidewalks, parks and street upgrades that go beyond the city's legal mandates when they are building a project.
"Our code has certain requirements, but a lot of times there are empty holes between the requirements," he said. "It would be nice if we would have some ability to be creative working with the developer and neighborhoods."
Neighborhood leaders welcome the idea, but some in the development community wonder if such a scheme would pave the way for unreasonable demands.
"It sounds good in theory, but it could have some negative unintended consequences," said real estate attorney Truett Gardner. "Each neighborhood association would develop its laundry list of items and in order to play ball in that neighborhood the developer would have to do one of those things."
On the other hand, he said, Dingfelder's proposal might "take away the appearance of impropriety."
Agreements between developers and neighborhood groups came under fire last month when it was revealed police were investigating whether neighborhood groups had asked for money in exchange for supporting developers' projects.
Rezoning plans submitted by Metropolitan Life Insurance showed the developer had committed to give $50,000 to the Lincoln Gardens/Carver City neighborhood association for improvements that would be identified with help from the city.
City attorneys ordered the provision removed from the plan because the city can require developers to pay only for improvements that offset the impacts of the projects based on technical studies.
The matter prompted a police investigation and a rant by council member Charlie Miranda, who questioned the appropriateness of what he called "side deals."
Miranda singled out a developer who had negotiated two contracts worth $750,000 with a community group that oversees affordable housing programs in West Tampa. The developer withdrew one offer, worth $225,000, after the controversy.
Dingfelder called it an "opportunity that's lost."
He asked the city staff to come up with a way to funnel such contributions through the city's affordable housing program. A report is due later this year.
Dingfelder said the idea could be expanded to include other neighborhood improvements.
"It's nice if a developer can do those types of things with the city instead of directly with the neighborhoods. Then it's a lot more out in the open," he said.
The contributions, though, would have to fund projects that have a clear relationship to the new development.
"It shouldn't just be kind of pie-in-the-sky," Dingfelder said.
Some neighborhood leaders, who worry the new scrutiny of negotiations between developers and neighborhood organizations will diminish their bargaining power, say Dingfelder's concept gives them a tidy way to continue talks with developers.
"We don't ... say 'If you do this, we will support you,' but we do say 'These are things that concern us. Can you address them in any way?' " said Vicki Pollyea, president of the Bayshore Gardens Neighborhood Association.
Yes, said Pollyea, city code dictates what improvements developers have to make to a neighborhood. But the code doesn't consider the complexities of each neighborhood.
"That includes the number of pedestrians, whether people commute, whether they have three cars in their driveway," Pollyea said. "That kind of thing is neighborhood specific."
Pollyea also doesn't trust transportation studies paid for by developers to gauge the effects of their projects.
Neighborhood activist Margaret Vizzi points out that money paid to accommodate cars generated by new developments goes to major roads, not small local streets where there may be cut-through traffic.
Two years ago, Vizzi's South Tampa neighborhood prompted the developer of a hotel to contribute $25,000 to improve neighborhood streets.
"There was no place to put the money," Vizzi said.
The hotel is on hold, but Vizzi and her neighbors are now urging the team behind a four-story office building on Kennedy Boulevard to help pay for traffic calming in Beach Park.
"That's going to be a similar situation," she said. "How is the city going to hold that money when it comes in?"

I'm not too fond of this plan but am interested to see where it goes. I don't like Dingfelder too much since the first day of his term, but he's not as bad to me than some of the really corrupt politicians that we have here.

T.A. Waters, in his Encyclopedia of Magic and Magicians, said that dice stacking "looks more like magic than dexterity." This is particularly true when it's Jim "Zee" Zachary doing the stacking. What's more, it's surprisingly easy to learn when it's Jim Zee doing the teaching! While you may not be able to stack dice 15 high as Jim does right off (and take them down again!), you'll be stacking as many as four in less than an hour through his proven method - one that many of magic's top names have used to learn. Jim also performs his complete dice-stacking act and then teaches it in minute detail for L & L Publishing's broadcast-quality cameras.
If you're looking to add something to your close-up act that your spectators have probably never seen before, you're holding the key right now. It's expert dice stacking made easy - the Jim Zee way!

China's Huawei to set up India manufacturing plant
Post a comment
BANGALORE, India China's Huawei Technologies, which already has a software development center here, said Thursday (March 24) it is planning to set up a telecommunications manufacturing facility in India.
According to a Reuters report from New Delhi quoting a Huawei executive, the telecom company plans to invest about a $100 million in the manufacturing facility. Operations are expected to begin within the next two years, and production will focus on the Indian telecom market, the report said.
India's fast-growing telecommunications services market has spawned huge demand for infrastructure gear and wireless handsets, which in turn has attracted several global telecoms equipment and handset manufacturers to invest in manufacturing here.
Other investors include South Korea's LG and Finland's electronics manufacturing services firm, Elcoteq. Nokia and Samsung are also close to finalizing plans for manufacturing here, according to Indian officials.
Huawei's software development center here employs several hundred engineers.

Microsoft has announced that it will block games utilizing SafeDisc or Securom DRM on Windows 10, citing security concerns owing to a lack of support by the companies that made them.
Weird. I hope I don't have any games that use SecuROM and SafeDisc. I haven't delved much into my game collection since installing Windows 10 on my machine.
Thanks for that. I do have a few, such as Fable 3. I guess I'll have to figure something out if I ever want to play those again. . .

World Briefing | Europe: His Dimples, How Merry! His Cross -- Uh-Oh
By Elaine Sciolino (NYT)
Published: December 11, 2004
Christmas chocolates were recalled from schools in the northeast French town of Coudekerque-Branche because they violate the country's ban on religious symbols in schools, Le Figaro reported on its front page. The 1,300 chocolate figures, depicting St. Nicholas, were recalled earlier this month after an elementary school teacher unwrapped them only to discover that there was a cross on the miter worn by the saint. Christian crosses, as well as other religious symbols, including Islamic head scarves, Jewish yarmulkes and Sikh turbans have been banned since September. For more than a decade, the mainly Flemish region has celebrated the saint's day, Dec. 6, by delivering chocolates to schools. Andr?elattre, the mayor, called the incident ''a politically unhealthy incident,'' Agence France-Presse reported. He added: ''St. Nicholas was a bishop. He is always portrayed with his cross.''

Some of them we've hosted twice or more; some of them left the CS project OR changed the place of residence, OR decided to hide their profile(s), OR only used our couch without contacting us never more… Our oldest Cs guest was 89, our youngest – 18 years old. Fortunately, we keep in contact with most of our guests, they are friends of us and we are happy to have them around!

Tell your doctor or health care professional if your symptoms do not improve in 2 to 3 days.
If your eyes are more sensitive to light, wear sunglasses.
Stop using this medicine immediately if you notice signs of an allergic reaction.
