'Doroga' helps connect actors, audiences with past
Troupe to give only Boston-area performance Saturday in the Shapiro Theater
Whether we know our family's history or not, it becomes a part of us.
The Lost & Found Project aims to reconnect Russian Jews with their history, so they can better understand themselves. By proxy, they help audiences do the same.
"We have to carry on whatever we're being passed," says Anna Zicer of the Lost & Found Project. "We end up carrying all these stories."
Using theater as its primary tool, the project has collected a group of 10 Jewish actors born in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and '80s who are on a search for their own families' history. The goal is to discover those stories and help audiences reflect on how the past affects the present through an experimental, interactive theater project.
The result is a play called, "Doroga," the Russian word for "journey," which uses vignettes to depict immigration experiences during the Soviet rule and after its collapse. Written collaboratively by the cast, produced by Zicer and directed by Ben Sargent, it features stories of love, friendship, family, relationships, discoveries, journeys and dreams. It premiered to a sold-out crowd in New York City in March.
"Even if you are not a Russian Jew, or even if you yourself didn't immigrate here, North America is such a melting pot of immigration," Zicer says. "You might think, 'Oh, now I understand where my grandmother came from' or 'that's where that trait came from.' It helps you understand yourself better."
The only Boston-area performance of the play will be at Brandeis, on Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Carl J. Shapiro Theater in the Shapiro Campus Center. A Q & A will follow with Bryna Wasserman, the play's artistic director and executive director of the National Yiddish Theatre – Folksbiene.
"When you're a leader, you can't move people forward without knowing where they came from," says Victor Vitkin, executive director of the Brandeis-Genesis Institute for Russian Jewry, which is bringing "Doroga" to campus as one of a series of cultural events and performances this semester.
Vitkin says the show is not exclusively for a Russian or Jewish audience, and Zicer stresses that it can be especially meaningful for students.
"For the elders it's very special, but they already went through this experience," Zicer says. "For students, it can really help them figure out who they are and how they got here."
Tickets can be purchased for $18 ($5 for students) online at Brandeis Tickets or by calling (781) 736-3400.

I'm proud to announce and release my A-M-V.org app to the masses. It's been a good couple of months developing it and I hope those of you with Android devices will find it useful (those with iOS or Windows Mobile are shit out of luck at the moment unless someone wants to donate hardware/money for me to get devices to develop on ).
With this app you can search the database, watch videos, then rate them and give QCs! Be aware that if you have an older device you might have trouble watching the videos. If that's the case, try installing a 3rd party software based video player such as Rock Player.
That said, I want to recognize those who helped me:
Moonlight Soldier
These guys (and gal) came up with some great ideas and provided excellent feedback (and a little stress >:|). This app is, to a degree, as much their creation as it is mine. Also thanks to Brad for making the Icon and the assets I used for the buttons and such. Also:
That's gotta count for somethingPhade wrote:it has the Phade seal of approval.
At the time of this post it hasn't shown up via searching the marketplace yet but you can click the image above to be sent directly to the app's page to install. I'm open to all suggestions and comments for future updates and features so feel free to use the marketplace, e-mail, irc, or PM to let me know what you think. Above all, enjoy the app and don't be shy to show it off at cons

I would agree with nginx, we've found significant increases to our magento hosting platforms over apache. But as everyone else has mentioned it's about fine tuning almost every part of the installation and site to get the best performance.
The other point is monitoring modules and rogue scripts etc - this can be where the profiler comes to hand (as long as the modules are setup to use this).

That's two Assassin Creed titles down for the count. Saturday and Sunday saw me glued to my television as I devoured Assassin's Creed II. The last assassination sequence seemed a bit rushed, but beyond that I completely understand the praise for the title. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is next, though I may hold off on it until playing through the last Walking Dead episode on Wednesday. I'm really excited to see how Telltale ends the first season!

The Perfect gDNA Blood Mini Kit is an efficient way to purify genomic DNA from 200 l of whole blood as described in the product manual. In addition, it has been shown that the kit can also be used to effectively purify genomic DNA from buffy coat after the whole blood has been separated into its components. Using this method provides obvious benefits to the researcher because the gDNA isolated from buffy coat is higher in concentration and yield than the corresponding whole blood sample. Best results are found when an entire vial of blood is separated into its component parts, but it has also been proven that the buffy coat, from as little as 1.5 ml of whole blood, gives good results.
The versatile Perfect gDNA Blood Mini Kit allows the researcher to isolate gDNA from a variety of biological samples, including buffy coat. The purification method is based on Proteinase K lysis followed by collection of the crude high molecular weight gDNA on a membrane. The gDNA is then washed to remove contaminants and eluted in a buffer suitable for common downstream applications such as PCR and restriction digest. The method is spin-column-based and simply requires the use of a standard microcentrifuge. No additional purification is required.
Buffy coat is the component of whole blood that contains leukocytes and platelets and makes up only 1% of the entire whole blood composition. Separating out this particular component enables the researcher to enrich the DNA-containing leukocytes and eliminate the heme-containing red blood cells. The buffy coat layer is difficult to see and pipette. It is viscous and is present as a thin milky layer above the lower red blood cell layer. Although separating the blood into its components requires an additional step, the benefits of higher gDNA concentration and yield out-weigh the extra effort.Materials
Several experiments were carried out to validate the performance of the kit when using buffy coat. Volumes ranging from 20 l to 200 l of buffy coat were taken from an entire vial (3 ml) of blood and tested for handling, yield, concentration, and purity as well as downstream applications such as PCR1. The method outlined below provides a step-by-step procedure for separation of buffy coat and isolation of gDNA from either a whole vial of blood or an aliquot of blood.
Entire vial of blood:
The term vial refers to the tubes typically used for collection of the blood. Vacutainer (Becton Dickinson, USA) is an example of this type of vial. These vials are usually glass and may hold various amounts of blood with 1.5 ml being the minimum amount required for this procedure.
g DNA was isolated from the buffy coat of three individuals. 50 ng of template was used for each individual in 30 l PCR reactions. The following Eppendorf PCR reagents were used in the concentrations or amounts specified in parenthesis:
Taq DNA Polymerase (0.05 Units/l)
10x Taq DNA Polymerase Buffer (1x)
25 mM MgCl2 (0.5 mM)
dNTP Mix (0.2 mM)
Primers (Integrated DNA Technologies) specific to the human beta-globin gene were used for all reactions at a final concentration of 0.1 M.
PCR reactions were performed on the Eppendorf Mastercycler gradient
using the following cycling conditions:
94C for 5 minutes; initial denaturation
35 cycles:
94C for 1 minute denaturation
69.6C for 20 seconds annealing
72C for 2 minutes extension
72C for 5 minutes final extension
15C hold
Results and Discussion
The Perfect gDNA Blood Mini Kit is an effective method for the isolation
of high molecular weight gDNA from buffy coat in higher concentrations
than using whole blood samples. With only one additional handling step
the researcher can isolate pure, high molecular weight gDNA (see Fig.
1). Even decreasing the buffy coat sample to 100 l leads to an
increase in concentration over whole blood. The average concentration
observed from 200 l of buffy coat is about 3 times higher than
of gDNA isolated from 200 l of whole blood (see Table. 1). Heme-containing
red blood cells are removed in the buffy coat application, lowering the
risk of heme contamination and increasing the e
fficiency of downstream
applications such as PCR (see Fig. 2).

Deep Shade necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 47 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
My name is Valerie Van Balen, i am a jewelry designer on the island of Kauai. I travel directly to the pearl farms of french Polynesia to collect the rare South Sea pearl, and then i make all the jewelry in Hawaii myself. I have been in business for 14 years, I am 33. I have just been asked to show my jewelry at the St. Regis resort, and am l really looking forward to it! I love working for myself, creating wearable art, and allowing others to feel abundant and special for wearing my pieces. I have been called smart, elegant & generous.
My main market is upper class tourists who visit Kauai. The demographic is mostly couples who are 40-60ish. They do want to bring home a special gift to remember their trip, or bring a surprise home for someone they love.
They usually travel often, and are worldly people. I am hoping to attract more international clients with this new opportunity at the St. Regis.
I want a logo that really attracts the eye and stand out. I really want something modern and clean, that i could be reconized as a strong brand from New York, to Paris & back. Such as "Chanel" and "Cartier"
I would like to se the name "Van Balen" spelled out.
But I am also interested in seeing some symbols and abbreviations..?
**Also this logo might need to be condensed into a very small space
(think size of a pea) if i want to do custom gold jewelry tags that will attach to the necklaces ~ defining my brand.
..There is some part of me that would like to sneak in some native Tahitian motifs, but i understand this might be hard to make "elegant".
I am open to most colors - staying away from browns and yellows.

As-Salaam alaikum,
In Hadith Qudsi, Allahu Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says:--
"For Me, the most blessed of My Friends is the person of faith who is unburdened (by possessions),
who takes pleasure in prayer, who carries out well his devotion to his Lord and eagerly serves Him
in secret. He is concealed among the people; no one points him out. His sustenance is barely
sufficient, and he is content with that... His death comes quickly, there are few mourners, and his
estate is small."
This Noble Hadith is included, with minor variations, in the canonical collections of Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Ibn Hanbal.

With mud from my toes to my nose and sloshing through my shoes, I waded through waist deep mud and over heaps of slippery dirt with only one thing on my mind, finishing. Exhaustion setting in and my knees splitting from an old injury…and falling on my face around mile 5, the cold mud for once in the course felt oddly and momentarily refreshing. "We are almost there," I thought as I sludged my mud-caked Nikes out of the pit. But as two of my teammates pulled me out of the pond of goop and I hobbled (broken pirate style) around the last bend, there it was…the mountain of all obstacles – literally. Everest, a greased half-pipe, and Electroshock therapy, dangling electrified wires, were the last two obstacles that stood in my way. "Bring it on!"
Dubbed as one of the toughest obstacle course races, the Tough Mudder is an intense 11-mile, 25 obstacle race. Designed by British Special Forces to test your strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie, the course has you climbing walls, swimming through fields of mud, squirming under barbed (and sometimes electrified) wire, running almost a marathon and dunking your body into ice tanks, among other things. It's a race that gives you the opportunity to prove yourself, not only to your teammates and the other competitors but also to yourself, that you truly are tough enough – or just crazy enough!
The highlights of the Tough Mudder, Las Vegas race for me were:
- Kiss of mud – crawling under barbed wire through muddy water
- Arctic Enema – a quick dip into ice-cold (and I mean ice-cold) water.
- Funky Monkey – a monkey bar challenge that brought me back to the good old days on the play ground
- The Wounded Warrior run – I hopped a free ride on a random dude's back for half of it!
- Berlin Walls – scaling 3 sets of wooden walls that progressively got taller
- And of course, Everest. It took me four very painful attempts to grab my teammates' hands, but I did successfully scale the half-pipe.
Check out all the obstacles here and our race day video here.
However, when they say that Tough Mudder is a race that you can't finish alone – nor would you want to – they mean it. The best part about competing in this race was running it with my co-workers. The camaraderie, support and energy everyone brought to the course made the event. From running buddies to helpful boosts over the obstacles, my co-workers and all the other competitors are what got me through the race, up the walls, through the mud and across the finish line. (Plus it's amazing what a little peer pressure and a bunch of stubbornness will get you through as well!)
Are you tough enough?

Gloucester's Fort Square: Familiar Faces at BreakfastPosted: February 26th, 2010 | Author: JR | Filed under: Breakfast, Cafe, Fort Square Café, Fort Square Cafe, Gloucester | Tags: Breakfast, Diner, Fort Square Café, Gloucester Restaurants, Good Morning Gloucester, Joey C., Mudiga Steak | 3 Comments »
The ever-so-charming Joey C. of Good Morning Gloucester steered us to Fort Square Café last weekend when we were looking for a casual place for breakfast. Not surprisingly, he was right on the money. With great food, local specialties, and counter staff that greets you like a long-lost sibling, this place is right up our alley.
The breakfast menu at tiny Fort Square is extensive and served all day. It includes eggs, omelets, and pancakes served with various breakfast meats and choice of hash browns or home fries. We tried two specials that day and loved them both. Crispy french toast ($5.50) was coated in crushed Honey Bunches of Oats and perfectly cooked. A side of bacon was crispy and flavorful. The tasty Portugese scramble with peppers, onions, and chorizo, home fries, and toast is $8.50, but we guarantee you won't need another meal that day.
We also sampled mudiga steak, a local favorite consisting of thin slices of beef that have been breaded and fried. For fisherman, or those who like to eat breakfast like one, the steak is served with eggs, hash browns, and a toasted roll. Those not quite as adventurous might enjoy it more for lunch. We saw a steak sandwich with roasted peppers and melted provolone go by that looked delicious. Many other sandwiches are available for lunch ($4.50 to $6), and we're hoping to return to check out the chowder.

Earlier today Omnigamer posted an article talking about what they think the 15 Xbox One Exclusives are, and in that list they stated that Crackdown 3 is among those titles in development. Microsoft pretty much teased it at there Xbox One event when they showed a Crackdown 3 Agility Orb on the Xbox One's home screen. So it really does seem like we will see Crackdown 3, but who's leading the development.
Along with RARE's e3 reveal, Crackdown 3 is one of the games I'm definitely excited to see.
I sunk in countless hours with Crackdown 1 and I just hope that Crackdown 3 gives the main character more toys and powers to work with.
But yeah, thank god it isn't Ruffian Games..
I'd love to see Crackdown 3. An actual sequel to the original crackdown.
I see no hint of a Crackdown 3. All I see is the game blade for Crackdown showing the orb and it was right next to the Halo 3 game blade. This means no more than an old account snapshot used for Microsofts crapping reveal and yes I mean crapping. They took a big, fat, meaty, steaming, crap all over their core fans.
I really didn't expect Microsoft to bring this franchise back, so glad that they're. One of my favourite open world games.

By Peggy Matthews Rose
Her kids gave her a hard time saying, "Mom, I want you to be there at my wedding," and "Mom, we want you to take better care of yourself." So when a co-worker invited her to attend The Daniel Plan launch in January, she decided to accept. Then, when Teri Miller heard Dr. Daniel Amen talk about dinosaurs, the light came on. Big time.
"What I got was that it isn't a 'diet,' " Teri said. "I had allowed myself to become overweight and not exercise, so I made those choices myself. And I knew it was hurting me in the job marketplace.
"But one thing I'd always had confidence in was that I was smart—the person others came to for advice. So when Dr. Amen spoke about the dinosaur syndrome, where the heavier you become the smaller your brain becomes, it was like a slap in the face! I can't be fat and dumb. Dumb simply isn't an option.
"My father had Alzheimer's, but I had not realized that obesity was a gateway to Alzheimer's. The way I was eating, I was destined to become a diabetic—I'm a sugar-aholic, a See's candy addict, a chocoholic. I'd never realized all that could bring on Alzheimer's too. That was what clicked for me."
Teri started The Daniel Plan the following Monday, after admittedly spending one day eating everything she liked most. "The hardest thing to give up was the leftover See's from Christmas!"
As she gave up unhealthy favorites, she added one more healthy choice—and it came the very next weekend, when Pastor Rick spoke on "The Prayer That Changes You." Using The Lord's Prayer as a model, Rick laid out a template for daily change that resonated with Teri and has since become her daily spiritual habit. "It's gotten me through those really tough times, like Easter with all that chocolate!"
When people notice the change in Teri, "they think I have will power. But I say, 'No, I have God's will power.' There's no way I could do this except that it's what He wants me to go through."
As evidence of God's presence, a few weeks into The Daniel Plan, Teri was in an automobile accident that sent her to the doctor for all those "tests"—the ones we usually don't want to know the answers to. Afraid her life of bad choices might now be catching up to her, Teri prayed that prayer of surrender and got ready for the bad news. "Everything looks good!" they told her. She thanked God and knew she had "dodged a bullet." And she dug into The Daniel Plan with renewed determination.
To date, Teri has lost over 50 pounds and is well on her way to her 130-pounds goal. Best of all, her new lifestyle is showing. Her own daughter was so impressed she also began implementing The Daniel Plan strategies and has lost over 20 pounds herself.
Teri's small group has supportive as well, saying "they've been very complimentary and in awe of what I am going through in my personal life and how God is in control with my Daniel Plan."
Co-worker Hanna Ahn is so proud of her friend, she submitted Teri's story for this site. "I am so happy and proud to say that her commitment to The Daniel Plan has inspired us all. I see her eating healthy snacks and lunches and making healthy choices when work lunches at restaurants are called for. Morning meetings will sometimes come with bagels and cream cheese that she will pass up. Sourdough pretzels loaded with sodium are in big buckets in the kitchen and they do not faze this woman."
If there's one area Teri feels she needs strengthening in, literally speaking, it's the exercise she knows is a critical part of The Daniel Plan. "I'd love to find someone to work out with me," she says, "someone who'd be willing to be my personal trainer, someone to hold me accountable for going out there five days a week and getting physical."
So if you need a boost in your own Daniel Plan program, maybe Teri's story is just what you needed to read. Of course, seeing is believing, and Hanna is here to testify that Teri, "has a new glow of happiness in her face and she deserves it. Thanks to God, Pastor Rick, and The Daniel Plan for transforming this woman's life!"
And if you're looking for a workout partner, we've got one for you.
Teri's tips for taking The Daniel Plan with you:
How are you doing on The Daniel Plan? We want your story to be an encouragement for others. Share with us your trials and successes.

Wooden wine racks and wooden wine boxes for versatile wine storage
Wine racks made of wood are unlike other materials made from a natural ressources. Wood is durable, easy to work with and stable. Wooden wine racks can consist of softwoods such as spruce, fir and pine. These conifer varieties are easy to process and therefore well suited for the production of unique and decorated design wine racks. Wine racks made of hardwoods such as oak, beech, walnut, cherry or teak are very robust. In addition, hardwoods are weather resistant.
Treatment of wooden wine racks
To protect the wood of the wine racks, glazes, stains or colors are commonly used. The colors are chosen according to the surrounding ambience and the location: from light natural-colored glazes on untreated wood, to rustic-brown stains or black-brown lacquers, to colorfully designed wine racks. Wood wine racks are made of both solid wood and wood-based materials such as hardboard, chipboard or medium density fiberboard (MDF). For humid wine cellars, wine racks made of MDF are best suited because they swell less quickly.
Expandable wooden bottle racks
Due to production possibilities, wooden wine racks are often available as modular wine racks. These (often square) models can be placed side by side or on top of each other. Thus, a wine rack system can be expanded as needed and grow with the wine collection.
Contemporary style: wooden wine boxes
Currently wine boxes are made of wood. These convey a more rustic atmosphere. Even wine crates can be stacked well and possibly arranged in different sizes to form a beautiful wall construction, in which not only bottles, but also accessories can be placed.

001. Last night I couldn't sleep and went through all my traffic sources, and read a ton of your blogs and the kind words you have to say about mine. Sometimes I feel so overwhelemed by this whole experience. To have people comment on how much I inspire them and how much they love my blog is just amazing, Its so hard to put into words how I feel. Sometimes I feel so under the radar when it comes to blogging, I think in regards to the fact LLYMLRS has grown so quickly and strongly over the last 6-7 months, I still find it hard to believe. I want to thank each and everyone on of you for being the best supporters and more importantly friends!
002. I've been drawing a little over the last few nights. Maybe some artwork might be creeping back in? I want a new background and header at some point! I'll probs update my Flickr with a few drawings and stuff soon!
003. The long awaited Ombre hair tutorial will be coming soon, this week if I have time. I promise! I think people are over thinking the whole Ombre process, Its so easy, and simple I'm sure you'll be kicking yourselves when I tell you how I did it! I literally get asked about this like 10 times a day! Some questions really annoy me, I'm not an expert on it, I don't know if it will suit you, I don't know how to ombre layered hair, I don't know how to dye already dyed hair. I'm not a professional and I wish people would stop bombarding me with a million questions I don't know the answers to, I will try and help but Im not an expert, and I know nothing about actually dying hair!
004. I've watched too much TV the last week. I guess thats what a week of work does to you. I've over indulged in Jeremy Kyle, Watched way too many teenage pregnancy programs, Contemplated getting a poof ala Snooki from Jersey Shore, and got angry at the fact The Hills ending was totally underwhelming!
005. Sorry for the crap picture, I hate doing photobooth versions of these! Sorry for the fact this is a bit rubbish this week! And Im sorry that the Ombre bit is a but moany. I promise Im not trying to keep things from you! Im in a rush and my sisters just had her new baby and I've been looking after her other child today and now Im off for a BBQ!

text: We are currently commissioning a job that has 16 VAV's with reheat using the FX-PCV controllers. We also have an FX16 controller running the AHU. We are supposed to be using a Warmup-Cooldown mode upon initial startup of the system. The FX16 is setup properly to do this, but we are having issues getting the VAV boxes to open wide up when the FX16 calls for either mode. I can see that the FX-PCV has Warmup-Cooldown settings, but we cannot seem to link this to the FX16 command. Is there a point that we are missing in the FX-PCV that I can link to my FX16 Warmup-Cooldown that will tell the boxes to go wide open. I do not want to override the dampers open. I would rather do it the "right" way. We are not too experienced with the PCV and I cannot find any technical literature on this particular feature. Any insight? Thanks.

The Art of Toshiba
The Art of Toshiba
For their 25th year in making notebooks, Toshiba decides to go straight for the glam factor and jazz up the notebook scene with some pretty looking notebooks. Art has come to Toshiba's notebooks folks, and pretty these notebooks definitely are. Held at the Art House on 09 June, Toshiba's launch event even had oil paintings of its notebooks!
Of course, the event is not without its 'stars' and so Toshiba trotted out its latest additions to its very formidable arsenal of notebooks. On one side, we have the top of the line Premier series of the Toshiba Satellite M500, while folks familiar with the Toshiba Portege M800 will love the refreshed M900. If you're the budget conscious sort but still in the market for something pretty, there's always the Toshiba Satellite L510, which should fit your budget quite nicely (updating the previous L310 series). Due to be launched in July, these notebooks look ready to sizzle with their affordable price points and overall looks. Stay tuned for our assessment of some of these models in the near future!

Welcome to the Mariposa Museum and History Center
The Mariposa area was said to have been named by a Spanish Priest under the direction of explorer, Gabriel Moraga. Moraga was the leader of a 25-man troop that explored central California in 1806. When he and his expedition came upon a creek laced with thousands of yellow butterflies, they named the area "Mariposa" which was the Spanish word for butterfly.
The Mariposa town site area was first the home to the Southern Miwok Indians. They have lived in the Central California area for untold generations before any Europeans arrived in the Americas.
Juan B. Alvarado Mexican governor of California (1836-1842,) was awarded the "Las Mariposas Grant". The "Las Mariposas Grant" was a "floating" grant which meant that it had no fixed boundaries. It was ten square leagues (approx. 44,400 acres) located generally on the Mariposa Creek between the San Joaquin, Chowchilla, and Merced rivers and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Crossroads Culinary Center really tried to cook plates from a variety of parts of the world and they did it very well. The food always tasted great! The meat at C3 often made me remember the churrasco I had at home and that was one of my favorite things there.
In addition to the wide variety of foods I could find there, I liked the appearance of C3. It looked nice and was really well organized. I felt comfortable there. It was a place that fits with the student way of being.

Bibliographic by Jason Godfrey
In the scholarly world of books about books, graphic designers and architects need love too. Just published by Laurence King, Jason Godfrey's Bibliographic is a must for the design conscious.
Bibliographic is not a comprehensive collection but a selection of 100 important books of fine graphic design. This cross-section includes many obviously influential works (Tschichold, Tolmer, Kepes, Moholy-Nagy) but also obscure titles such as two books from early type foundaries and Ben Shahn's Love and Joy about Letters. (The later I have owned for years and despite the title, I am embarrassed to have not spent more time to consider how great Shahn was as a designer and typographer.)
Bibliographic is organized into chapters of ; Typography, Sourcebooks, Instructional, Histories, Anthologies, and Monographs. Each double page spread is dedicated to the examination of one book at a time through short descriptions and many illustrations. Mouthwatering examples of typography in Manuale Typographicum (1954) from Hermann Zapf and Aaron Burns' Typography (1961) put their craft into practice with brilliance.
Like photobooks, several of these examples are so scarce that they are beyond the reach of most readers, Alfred Tolmer's Mise en Page from 1931 would be a welcome volume for a reprint with its impressive production techniques as would Gyorgy Kepes' influential Language of Vision from 1944. The designer's library, perhaps even more than a photographer's, is a working collection where education and influence should be importantly within arm's reach.
In his introduction, the most prolific of writers on design Steven Heller, makes mention of the now common feeling of "book envy" and the desire to own these books perhaps much like the Parr/ Badger series has done for hundreds of photobooks. Thankfully, Godfrey's gives us a guide through these examples along with an extensive bibliography supplied by today's leading designers. Bibliographic will certainly inspire many new book searches and additions to our already sagging bookshelves.
In Victor Hug's novel Notre Dame de Paris the archdeacon Claude Frollo warns of the danger that books could kill architecture. For hundreds of years repeated attempts to hammer out and interpret basic formal rules has inspired discussion and rebellion found in the most contemporary of design. The book Modern: Architecture Books from the Marzona Collection published in 2003 as a companion to a traveling exhibition (How to Build? The Modernist Book) features a couple hundred examples that have shaped this discussion.
Egidio Marzona is an art collector who's interest in Minimal Art, Atre Provera, Conceptual Art and Earthworks has amassed over 1000 works and thousands of books on various subjects. His interest in architecture and design led to this book and exhibition. This small format book is interesting for sure but its design and generally conservative use of illustrations (only two - three per book) will make readers wish for a deeper look into these amazing titles. The exhibition included several hundred examples where this catalog only includes a fraction.
Dan Graham's For Publication fits well within the Marzona collection's normal association with Concept or Minimal Art as will Gordon Matta-Clark's Wallspaper. Paola Navone and Bruno Orlandoni's Architettura "Radicale" (1974) looks to be a fascinating but difficult to find item which I wish was illustrated by more than one internal spread.
Three essays, one a discussion between Marzona and Elizabetta Bresciani (the show's curator), provide a good tour through the history of these books and the shifts in architectural approach and attitude. For me these essays were indispensable as there are no individual descriptions of each book. This void makes Modern mostly a volume of visual candy that will fascinate and frustrate fans of design, architecture and bookcraft. Perhaps a gifted author like a Jason Godfrey from the architecture world could be capable of compiling a great book on this worthy subject.

Legalities Of Brothels
The commercial sex industry is the largest and most lucrative of the legal industries in brothels. The brothels are generally bigger than most other businesses, with bigger staffs and high costs for operating a brothel.
Brothels generally follow national and international standards of law and trade. Many brothels require women to work in a small room without being able to leave. This is to prevent escapees from leaving the brothel.
When a brothel is completed, it usually attracts a big crowd of customers. The women there to sell their services to the customers in a bid to earn the money they need to live. Since most of the brothels are considered tourist destinations, they attract a high number of customers from far and wide. That is why even local government requires some sort of permits before brothels can open.
There are different types of brothels. They are classified as full service, part-time, privately owned and privately rented. In addition, each type has its own set of rules and regulations.
A privately owned brothel is a brothel that is not owned by a government or an institution. Private brothels must abide by the rules set by local governments. Private brothels do not enjoy the same high degree of freedom as they are not really brothels but safe houses of prostitution.
A privately owned brothel might have its own location or it might be situated in the midst of other brothels. A brothel owned by the government, however, is privately owned. It is not restricted by any governing body that is accountable to the local government.
Brothels in developing countries are usually those that are privately owned. The brothels there are usually run by the lady-entrepreneurs and they are very different from the ones in developed countries. In these countries the brothels are usually public and maintained by the state.
It is also quite typical for brothels to have their own establishment. Brothels are private establishments and they have their own board of directors. Private brothels are also normally regulated by law.
While brothels and brothel owners need permits, there are no such requirements for the prostitutes. All the brothel owners need to do is register with the local government to operate. Registered brothels can remain open all year round without fearing any problems from any government authorities.
Brothels are usually operated from various rooms. These rooms are not used to make deals, but they are used to sleep the prostitutes and supply them with a set of brothel uniform to wear while working. The brothels have their own separate bathrooms and women might be taken to them during the day.
Most brothels require the ladies to remain clean and stay in their rooms. Their clothes are washed by hand, using special machines and the bedrooms are cleaned by using disinfectants.
Brothels charge a monthly membership fee, which may vary according to the brothel. These fees are usually set by the brothel owner.

The O Antiphons
Tonight is the first of the seven "Golden Nights" of Advent (Dec. 17-23) in which the O Antiphons are traditionally prayed.  Known in English primarily by their versification in O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, the O Antiphons (so-called because each begins with "O") each address Jesus with a unique Messianic title from Old Testament prophecy.  Each antiphon is prayed--chanted or spoken--on its corresponding night this week:
Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Reclaiming the Church Year
Sunday begins the season of Advent, and with it a new year in the Church's liturgical calendar.  Through the Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, and Easter seasons the Church centers its focus on the life of Christ, from his birth in Bethlehem to his sacrificial death, resurrection, and ascension to glory.  At Pentecost, attention turns to the life of the Church and its mission to the world--proclaiming Christ's saving Gospel to a sinful race.

William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition
In 1921 William Lowell Putnam printed an article in the December issue of the Harvard Graduates Magazine. In it he wrote:-
The idealism of the undergraduate student, his eagerness to achieve something for his college, for his country, or for any cause that fills him with enthusiasm, is constantly referred to with admiration by those in charge of the universities. This unselfish impulse is recognised as one of the strongest forces in a student's life, and great results have been and are being accomplished by appealing to it. ... But it is a curious fact that no effort has ever been made to organise contesting teams in regular college studies. All rewards for scholarship are strictly individual and are given in money, or in prizes, or in honourable mentions. No opportunity is offered a student by diligence and high marks in examinations to win or help in winning honour for his college. All that is offered to him is the chance of personal reward. Little appeal is made to high ideals or to unselfish motives.So who was William Lowell Putnam? He had been born on 22 November 1861 and studied mathematics at Harvard being a member of the class of 1882. He made a career as a lawyer and banker and in 1888 he had married Elizabeth Lowell. Elizabeth was the sister of Percival Lowell, the astronomer who founded the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Abbott Lawrence Lowell, who became President of Harvard, and Amy Lowell, who became a famous poet. Now the reader may wonder why William Lowell Putnam and his wife shared the name of 'Lowell'. The answer is that they were related before marriage, being third cousins. Putnam was already handling the financial affairs of Lowell family before his marriage and he continued in this role. Putnam died in June 1924. His wife Elizabeth and her brother Abbott Lawrence Lowell, at that time President of Harvard, both shared Putnam's ideas about education and Elizabeth Putnam made provision in her will to created a trust fund known as the William Lowell Putnam Intercollegiate Memorial Fund. Two of the Putnam's sons were to be trustees of the Memorial Fund.
Elizabeth Putnam died in 1935 but moves had been made to begin competitions before her death. The first was in 1928 when Harvard and Yale competed in an English Competition. This first contest was won by Harvard but attempts to encourage Yale and Princeton to take part in a second contest met with refusals. The next competition was in fact a mathematics competition in 1933 between Harvard and West Point Juniors. Problems were set on calculus, analytic geometry, and differential equations and West Point Cadets were victorious. Again the winners were enthusiastic to continue the series and again the losers (this time Harvard) declined the challenge.
Abbott Lawrence Lowell retired as President of Harvard in 1933 and, as we noted above, Elizabeth Putnam died two years later. Now the family had a tradition of mathematics, William Lowell Putnam being a mathematics graduate as was Abbott Lawrence Lowell and one of the two sons who were now Trustees of the William Lowell Putnam Intercollegiate Memorial Fund. The two trustees approached their friend, the Harvard mathematician George David Birkhoff. The example of Hungary with the Loránd Eötvös problems established in 1882 was an example which they all felt showed the extremely positive effect of problem solving on the mathematical life of a country. All agreed that a mathematics competition was the most appropriate to organise for North America. They set up some principles from the beginning:
1. The competition would be open to 3-person teams selected by a university to represent them. It would also be open to individuals from any college in the United States or Canada.
2. The competition would be administered by the Mathematical Association of America.
3. There would be prizes and honourable mentions for several teams and individuals.
4. A graduate fellowship for Harvard would be offered to one of the top five competitors. (This was done deliberately so that other factors could be used to distinguish between the best problem solvers as to which was likely to make the vest researcher.)
Birkhoff was largely responsible for setting the first paper which was sat in 1938. As Harvard set the paper, no team from Harvard was allowed to compete. The university of Toronto won the first competition and they were asked to set the next paper and not participate. Irving Kaplansky was chosen for the Harvard fellowship - clearly a superb choice. The second competition was won by Brooklyn College, with Richard P Feynmann (MIT) an individual winner. The third competition was won by the University of Toronto, Brooklyn College won the fourth, and the University of Toronto the fifth which was in 1942. How long these two would have alternated as winners had the competition not been halted for World War II, it is impossible to tell. No competition was held in 1943, 1944 and 1945 but it was restarted in 1946.
After the restart in 1946 some changes were made to the way the competition was run. A committee set up by the President of the Mathematical Association of America set the papers, each committee serving for three years. The 1946 competition was administered by Harvard (actually by Garrett Birkhoff) and the competition was held on 1 June. With the changes to the setting of the papers, every college was allowed to compete including those from which someone was serving on the committee which set the papers. It was agreed, however, that those setting papers would not be involved in coaching students. Among those who served on the committee to set the papers was Tibor Radó, Mark Kac, Irving Kaplansky, Andrew M Gleason, L M Kelly, Leo Moser, Gian-Carlo Rota, and H S M Coxeter.
In 1948 the Mathematical Association of America resumed its administrative duties. It was decided that a Director would be appointed for a five year term. L E Bush was appointed and served for 5 terms of five years each. By 1958 the syllabus was given as follows:-
The questions will be taken from the fields of calculus (elementary and advanced) with applications to geometry and mechanics not involving techniques beyond the usual applications, higher algebra (determinants and the theory of equations), elementary differential equations and geometry (advanced plane and solid analytic geometry).Here are two sample questions from the 1954 paper:-
1. Prove there are no integers x, y for which x2 + 3xy - 2y2 =122.
2. Prove that every positive rational number is the sum of a finite number of distinct terms of the series
1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + ... + 1/n + ... .Notes. To solve the first complete we would like to complete the square but this would lead to quarters. So first multiply by 4, then complete the square to get
(2x + 3y)2 - 17y2 = 488.Put u = 2x + 3y to get u2 - 17y2 = 488. Reduce mod 17 to now find that u2 = 12 mod 17 which is easily seen to be impossible (just check the possibilities).
The second problem has particular historical interest since the ancient Egyptians knew how to do it! In fact every rational has infinitely many different such decompositions or, thought of another way, one can omit any finite number of terms of the series and a decomposition (even infinitely many) is still possible.
The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is still an annual event with the Sixty-Fifth taking place on Saturday, 3 December, 2005. In its present format the competition takes place on the first Saturday in December every year. There are 12 problems and contestants have two sessions of three hours each in which to solve them.

There's really no other way to put this. Despite my thorough enjoyment from front to back of King of the Ring: The Harley Race Story, I came away at the end disappointed. The lifestory of the eight-time world champion Race deserved far more than 200 pages.
It's got a rushed feel to it, like it was thrown out to the world before it was honed and polished into the best book possible. I supposed that's the publisher's perogative, but in this case, you can spend your $24.95 for a short book put out by a significant publisher -- Sports Publishing -- or you can hunt down similar books by Jack Brisco or Ole Anderson that offer way more info for the same price or less. (The press material for King of the Ring had promised 250 pages.)
What do you get in The Harley Race Story? You get the basics, well-told with a few anecdotes:
It all moves along quickly, and is decently-written by Gerry Tritz, an editor at the Jefferson City News Tribune in Missouri. The photo insert approaches greatness, but is out of proportion to the rest of the book at a hefty 16 pages.
What you really don't get is a lot of insight into the people and personalities that wrestling is made up of. There are a few stories here and there, but so many people hardly get any time at all, like his business partners in the K.C. promotion Bob Geigel and Pat O'Connor. And what is there is completely watered down, made PG, and appropriate for a wider audience. (And I seem to say this every time with these books, but why no index? It's not like it was a long book!)
Hardcore fans are left hanging; unanswered questions from years gone past, like the phantom NWA title change with Ric Flair in New Zealand, the whole short title reign of Tommy Rich, and the politics behind WWWF-NWA title vs. title bouts are, well, left unanswered.
The best -- and freshest -- insights come when Race talks about the last days of the territories, and his thoughts on Vince McMahon and the expanding WWF. That Vince tried to lure the active NWA champ Race to jump before the first Starrcade was a shocker, and well explained. Race lays figures on the table, both what he was offered by the WWF, but also what his investment in the doomed Heart of America promotion cost him.
Still, any true fan is going to own this book. As well they should. But after reading it, don't be surprised to find yourself asking where the rest of it was -- kind of like summing up Race's career based on one title reign rather than a whole career.

Hi Fredrikp,
Thanks for posting! That looks like out-of-band interference, or interference from a device that is unintentionally causing interference in the 2.4 GHz band. The first thing I would check is your laptop. I had a laptop with a 2.4 GHz processor that caused a similar signature (although not this loud) towards the top of the band. Try moving the Wi-Spy away from your laptop with a longer USB cable, or testing it with a different laptop altogether. You could also take the laptop to another location (like home) to see if the signature is visible there too.
If it doesn't seem to be tied to your laptop, then I would start thinking about other out-of-band interferers such as cell towers and heavy industrial equipment. This knowledgebase article talks about out-of-band interference and might be of some help.
Let us know what you find, or if you have any more questions!
thanks for informations

Savannah Frazier
Class of 2011
Major/Minor: Political Science / Chemistry
Plenty of college students juggle work and class schedules, but few are holding down full-time jobs while pursuing a full academic course load geared toward a career in medicine.
Savannah Frazier '11, a political science major with a minor in chemistry, works 45 hours a week as an assistant store manager with Michael Kors, an upscale retail outlet in Queenstown. She paid her way through the first three years of college working full-time at BCBG, a women's clothing store that caters to those with a high fashion IQ.
"I love fashion," Savannah says. "I like picking out the perfect items that will look great on my customers, and I know I could continue to do well in the retail fashion business. But I also want to get an education and to be the person my siblings look up to, to be the person who demonstrates that achieving something great is possible. I'm actually considering a career in plastic surgery."
One of seven children, Savannah is the first in her family on track to complete a college degree. Her younger brother Jeremiah was recruited to play lacrosse at Washington College—they both enrolled in 2007, in fact—but he withdrew from school after his first year. Savannah stuck with it, despite the long hours at work and the sleepless nights spent studying.
"College has given me a foundation of knowledge so I can see the big picture and apply the concepts I've learned from different disciplines to everything I do," she says. "Political science has given me an understanding of what's happening in the world around me. Chemistry has given me the ability to take everything apart and look at the tiniest elements. That's how you deal with people too. It all works together."
At 23, Savannah is older than most of her classmates and has been supporting herself for the past seven years. "I moved out of the family home at age 16," she says. "Did I mention I have five younger siblings?
"I wanted the fast life," Savannah recalls. "I went to cosmetology school and had a good-paying job. I was driving a brand-new Acura and living in a townhouse at age 18. Then reality hit. I had everything but an education. I saw how hard my mom had to work to put us all through private high school, and she never had the chance to finish college."
For Savannah, Washington College has become a second family—a community of people who motivate and encourage her when she needs it most. "Because it's small, I have people who truly care about me," she says. "I'm worried about meeting the demands of work and labs in my final year, but my professors know that I'm willing to do what it takes."

It seems that the Playboy magazine's June edition that is expected to hit the newsstands tomorrow will come bundled with a pair of anaglyph red-cyan 3D glasses (the USA edition). They will only serve to for the reader to view the images of the centerfold Hope Dworaczyk in 3D, the whole magazine will net get the 3D treatment. Playboy is certainly not the first printed press that decided to do something in 3D, by hoping to draw more attention and increase the sales due to the fact that currently everyone is interested in just about everything that has the magic work "3D" on it. The paper anaglyph 3D glasses however still remain the easiest and cheapest method to distribute 3D content on paper, but the problem is that they are not the best way to view 3D content and this might create a negative perception about 3D not being so nice and impressive in some people's minds.
"What would people most like to see in 3D?" asked Hugh Hefner. "Probably a naked lady."
It is interesting to note that nowadays 3D may be really popular, but it seems that Hugh Hefner first thought of taking advantage of that technology when he launched his magazine in the 1950s (the previous big craze about 3D was back at that time). However back then making 3D content even in anaglyph format on print was much more expensive and harder than nowadays, with the anaglyph glasses even in large quantities that needed to be bundled with the magazine being the reason not to go 3D in the 50s. But even now producing about 1.5 million anaglyph glasses to bundle with the Playboy's June issue is not an easy and inexpensive thing to do, so Playboy is getting some help from HBO that is using the moment to promote their new series called True Blood, and that is why the glasses bundled with the magazine has the weird-looking text printed on them.
And so what is your opinion about the idea of Playboy going to have 3D anaglyph photos of naked girls?

Technical analysts have been monitoring shares of Morphic Ethical Equities Fund Limited (MEC.AX) as of late. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of multiple popular technical indicators created by J. Welles Wilder. Wilder introduced RSI in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" which was published in 1978. RSI measures the magnitude and velocity of directional price movements. The data is represented graphically by fluctuating between a value of 0 and 100. The indicator is computed by using the average losses and gains of a stock over a certain time period. RSI can be used to help spot overbought or oversold conditions. An RSI reading over 70 would be considered overbought, and a reading under 30 would indicate oversold conditions. A level of 50 would indicate neutral market momentum. Presently, the 14-day RSI is standing at 44.14, the 7-day is 46.50, and the 3-day is resting at 55.87.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for Morphic Ethical Equities Fund Limited (MEC.AX) is sitting at 18.75. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
Investors have the ability to use technical indicators when completing stock research. At the time of writing, Morphic Ethical Equities Fund Limited (MEC.AX) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -95.71. Developed by Donald Lambert, the CCI is a versatile tool that may be used to help spot an emerging trend or provide warning of extreme conditions. In terms of Moving Averages, the 7-day is resting at 1.07. Moving averages have the ability to be used as a powerful indicator for technical stock analysis. Interested traders may be keeping an eye on the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. Williams %R is a popular technical indicator created by Larry Williams to help identify overbought and oversold situations. Morphic Ethical Equities Fund Limited (MEC.AX)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -66.67. In general, if the indicator goes above -20, the stock may be considered overbought. Alternately, if the indicator goes below -80, this may point to the stock being oversold.
Investors may be intent on creating unique strategies when approaching the equity markets. Individuals with longer-term mindsets may have completely different strategies than those who trade in the short-term. Whatever class they fall under, investors may have to decide how aggressive they want to be in order to capitalize on these strategies. Navigating the bull market may make things a bit easier for some and much harder for others. Many investors will set their sights on dips and corrections. This may prove to be a successful strategy, but this may also create many missed opportunities. Keeping track of key economic data along with market trends and earnings information typically seems to be a boon to any strategy. Highly active traders may keep close watch after the markets have a sleepy session or two. Investors staying the course might actually be relieved when activity cools a bit.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) Mike Caffey had 19 points and nine rebounds and James Ennis added 18 points to lead Long Beach State to a 77-70 victory against UC Santa Barbara on Saturday.
Tony Freeland scored 15 points and Dan Jennings 13 for the 49ers (6-8, 2-1 Big West), who shot 54.2 percent (32 of 59) from the field and got all but four of their points from the starting lineup.
Alan Williams had 16 points and eight rebounds and Michael Bryson added 15 points for the Gauchos (5-9, 1-2).
Williams' 3-pointer got UC Santa Barbara within 71-68 with 1:36 remaining. But after a Jennings dunk at the other end, Williams missed two free throws, and the Gauchos missed three of their last four shots from the floor.

As always, I want to buy almost everything at the Zulily site. They are my absolutely favorite kids/mom flash sale site! They have super cute items at a great discount everyday.
Unfortunately, Zulily very rarely offers coupon codes any more. (Basically almost never) I used to be able to find about 5 Zulily coupon codes a month. However, the deals are still great even without a coupon code. That is probably why they do not offer them anymore.

The Motorola MC75 is the long awaited upgrade to the MC70 series mobile computer. A mid-sized mobile computer designed specifically for field mobility applications, the MC70 was released in 2006. Its popularity is reflected in over 450k units sold worldwide since its introduction. Motorola recognized the need to update the platform to include hardware required for future growth in the field mobility space.
Motorola MC75 Official Marketing
As with all new or revised Mobile Computers with an integrated barcode scanner, the Motorola MC75 incorporates changes that the manufacturer wants to emphasize - as evidenced in promotional materials. The long and short of the message is as follows:
Click here to download the Motorola MC75 datasheet.
As always, the official marketing materials don't necessarily give you an arbitrary comparison of the old vs. new. There's a big difference from reading marketing materials and holding the unit in your hand and collecting data with it.
The Wireless Network (WAN) Options
Symbol numbering nomenclature is complicated at best. Although the MC75 is the product line number, there are suffixes that designate the type of device. The major advantage of the Motorola MC75 upgrade is its ability to take advantage of the higher data rates of 3G (HSDPA 3.6) and EVDO (Rev A) cell networks. The nomenclature for the Motorola MC75 reflecting the specific WAN network options are below:
MC7508 - WAN / PAN (EVDO Rev A - Sprint & Verizon)
MC7598 - WAN / LAN / PAN (EVDO Rev A - Sprint & Verizon)
The HSDPA (3g) versions were available in July, with Sprint version due in late August, Verizon and Alltel available in September. Of note is that the HSDPA version allows simultaneous voice and data communication. That means you can take a voice call while using a data connected application.
802.11 Wireless Lan (WLAN)
The MC75 has the same 802.11 a/b/g capability as the previous model. Added in the MC75 is Cisco CCX v4 compatibility. This should lead to better performance and clarity of Bluetooth headsets and higher speed printing. The Motorola MC75 is VOIP ready.
Bluetooth Wireless (WPAN - wireless personal area network)
The Motorola MC75 has been upgraded to Bluetooth version 2.0, meaning that data transfer rates with Bluetooth devices will increase up to 3 times compared to the original Bluetooth
Look and Feel
Although you would think that the MC75 is physically the same as its brother, when you hold it in your hand, you get the distinct feeling that it's more substantive than the older unit. Considering this unit is to be used for high mobility applications, the Motorola MC75 is more than a quarter inch wider and almost a quarter inch thicker than the unit it would replace. A full 3 ounces of weight is added with the standard capacity battery. Although the unit feels more solid, but the key is that the device is getting larger and heavier instead of the expected smaller and lighter like the Treo vs Treo Centro. You could feel better about the size and weight of the device if its durability was improved. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
The ergonomics of the Motorola MC75 were expectedly underwhelming. The device is uncomfortable to hold, and it can still be a challenge to position your hand to comfortably hit one of the 3 scan buttons. With the extended capacity battery, the MC75 is almost painful in the hand. Its difficult to holster, operate and holster again. It doesn't appear that Motorola has and ergonomist as part of the Symbol MC75 team (or the MC90XX team). We wish they would hold any Honeywell Dolphin device, or even the Datalogic Scorpio. "How it feels" can be as important as "how it works".
The Motorola MC75 is available in a QWERTY and Numeric keypad. Unlike the MC90XX series, the keypad type is fixed and cannot be changed from the originally ordered configuration.
Processor and memory:
The MC75 still uses the same Bulverde processor as the MC70, clipping along at a max of 624 MHz. This is the same processor used in the beloved Dell X51V and widely used in top end Mobile Computers in the barcode / RFID space. Still, it would have been nice to see a "leading edge" mobile processor with this release, using something like the Marvel Monihan PXA320. Memory for the MC75 has received what we believe to be a critical update. It now has 128 meg ROM and 256 meg RAM in standard configurations. The number of applications on a device and database size has grown, available main memory has become more critical to the smooth operation of the device. The MC70 had 64/128 standard, with a 128/128 unit available at added cost. With the integrated GPS (and understanding that GPS turn-by-turn applications tax the memory of older devices), the new memory configuration should be ample to store and run multiple processor / memory intensive applications at the same time.
There is a user-accessible micro SD card slot built into the MC75. The device is still limited to 2GB of Storage Card capacity, so the use of SDHC cards is still prohibited. And, if you've ever loaded a 3rd party GPS program, you know that with a reasonable amount of map data on the card there will be little room for anything else. The access door for the micro SD takes up the same amount of space as it did on the old device, so we view the card slot as a disadvantage. You won't be able to use the SD cards you have laying around from your older units, and if you do data / application distribution on memory cards, you'll need 2 formats now if you're running MC70's and MC75's in the same deployment.
The full VGA resolution screen of the Motorola MC75 offers an unmistakable improvement over the QVGA screen. Images are sharper, and you can display a level of detail (with maps and other graphics) unattainable with QVGA resolution. Colors are crisp and adjusting the brightness settings gives you visibility vastly improved indoors and out over the MC70. This is one of the most exciting parts of the MC75 redesign. Hopefully, the increased resolution won't lead to more poor GUI design by ISV's. A comparison of the differences in display quality are in the picture below:
Data Collection (scanner / imager):
Motorola offers 2 configurations for integrated barcode scanners. Like its predessor, the MC75 can have the SE4000 imager installed. This is a very good imaging engine and allows omni-directional scanning of linear and 2-dimensional barcodes. The imager can also function as a low-resolution (640 x 480) monochrome camera for in-application, low storage overhead, picture taking.
The MC75 can also be configured with a laser line scanner. Motorola upgraded to the SE950 scan engine from the SE800HP. The 800HP goes all the way back to the PPT8800, so it was logical to upgrade the engine as the MC75 benefits from the smaller footprint and lighter electrical requirements of the SE950. Testing the engines side-by-side, the performance of the SE950 is a noticeable improvement. It has greater overall range and speed of decoding as it scans at twice the rate of the old SE800HP. Performance on higher density codes is greatly increased, as is its performance on damaged codes.
There is no word from Motorola as to if and when the Lorax extended long-range scanner will be available.
First, the bad news... the camera is $200 add-in outside the base configuration. Second, the camera is located right above the top anchor point for the hand-strap. When using the extended battery (and sometimes with the standard battery) and with your hand in the strap, there's a risk of the strap partially obstructing the camera lens.
That being said, the camera performance is what you'd expect from a 2mp camera currently featured in most smart phones and PDA's. The camera is controlled using the Windows Mobile "Pictures and Video" program or the manufacturer supplied program.
Notably, Motorola allows you to use the MC75 camera to decode barcodes. The camera decode utility is much improved over the MC35 version, which was difficult to gauge the distance needed from the code for the barcode decode algorithm to work. The new utility provides an "aiming circle" that starts out as a red circle, and changes to a green circle when the camera can see the barcode well enough to decode it.
The holy grail of barcode scanning applications has always been having consumers scan barcodes with a convenient device, and we've always thought that the most convenient device would be their cell phones. Standing by as other companies developed and deployed the QRCode for cell phone cameras, we were worried that the majors in the barcode mobile computer business would be left behind.
When the MC35 camera scanning program came out, we spoke to a host of Motorola technical types in about the suitability and improvement path of the utility and were consistently told "it was a mistake", "for occasional use only" and "it's a management device, managers don't scan a lot of barcodes". The reactions we got led us to believe that Motorola was going to walk away from this technology.
However, instead of abandoning the idea, Motorola expanded on and improved it in the MC75. Obviously, Motorola is demonstrating with the MC75 camera utility that they see the future. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/01/business/01code.html
From our perspective, the surprise inclusion of camera scanning in the Motorola MC75 is notable for the following reasons:
The Motorola MC75 promotional literature touts the camera as giving applications the ability to do OCR. We've yet to see an application where a picture is captured, and OCR takes place in the background with OCR values used to populate application program fields going to a database. It's a great idea whose time is long past due. We'll keep you posted.
Integrated GPS
The standard configuration Motorola MC75 is equipped with a SiRFstarIII GPS. GPS capability was offered in the MC70 unit in late 2007 as an option. Inclusion as standard equipment is long overdue, especially since this platform is considered by Motorola as the flagship for field mobility applications. No word on if this is the "LT" version, so we're assuming that it draws 60-65 milli-watts under continuous operation.
The SiRS starIII is notable for its ability to obtain a TTFF satellite lock quickly in normal environments, and can maintain its lock in city and rural environments with intermittent obstructions to the satellites. Able to process the signal from up to 20 satellites at the same time, the StarIII has regularly been observed to get a TTFF in less than 10 seconds.
Battery Capacity:The battery capacity, and presumably the operation time are increased on the MC75. With the standard battery having a 90% capacity increase over the model it replaces, it appears that the Motorola MC75 has ample power capacity to operate a full shift using phone, scanner, GPS and camera capabilities. The "extended capacity" battery offers a modest 26% increase over the prior extended battery.
Other than the integrated barcode scanner, a making a purchasing decision for one of these models of mobile computers is its durability over other Windows Mobile Smart Phones. The Motorola MC75 offers no improvement in durability over the prior model - the drop and tumble specifications are the same as is the IP54 sealing. Motorola's flagship MC90XX durability specifications are multiple 6-foot drops to concrete with 2k three foot tumbles so there is room for improvement in the MC75. But, the Motorola MC75 durability specification are half that, both in drop height and number of tumbles. One would think that in the redesign, Motorola engineers could have made the improvements necessary to make the unit more durable than the previous model.
Other Notes:
Motorola includes a screen protector with the MC35. That's a nice touch.
The utilities supplied with the Motorola MC75 are second to none. The Motorola Control Panel and other applications, along with MSP and DataWedge give IT departments the ability to control and easily update devices using a variety of methods and techniques.
There is a lot of detail in the Motorola MC75 User's Guide for the use of the Magnetic Stripe Reader and the new Debit Card Reader. Obviously, this represents Motorola seeing more sales available in the retail / merchant market.
Pros versus Cons
High Speed WAN Connectivity Ergonomics
SIRFIII Fast Lock GPS Weight
High Capacity Standard Battery Reliability
Full VGA Display MicroSD Storage Card
2 mp Camera with Decode Capability

I have an idea that has worked wonders for my dawdler and thought I'd share.
Toby (6, 1st grade) is a dawdler. He would literally take 8-12 minutes or more just to get his pajamas off in the mornings. DH asked me to come up with something to encourage him to get a move on! Truth be told, our first inclination was to punish for dawdling. I never really fleshed that out, but who wants to wake up to potential discipline every morning before school? So instead we're rewarding for being fast.
I created the "Toby's 10 and Under Time Sheet" and hung it on the wall. Toby has 10 minutes for each of three tasks (get dressed, eat breakfast, wash and brush) and then (because there were 4 slots on the premade sheet) he gets a bonus point if he does all three things under time. For the last two days Toby has been able to get his stuff done in far under the time allotted!! Added bonus? Aidan (8, 2nd grade) took it upon himself to run the timer and draw the stars on the chart. Aidan and Toby are my two who have the most friction. Aidan has been Toby's timekeeper AND chief cheerleader! Double bonus points for that! :) Most surprising thing? I didn't even specify an incentive. It's enough for Toby to get the points and stars on the chart.
So that's what works for me this week! See if you can find something that works for you at We Are That Family!
