Euan Uglow
Euan Ernest Richard Uglow (10 March 1932 – 31 August 2000) was a British painter. He is famous for his nude and still life paintings.
Euan Uglow was born in 1932 in London. As a child, he lived in Tulse Hill in south London, where his father was an accountant. Uglow went to the local grammar school in Tulse Hill, Strand School. Afterwards he studied at Camberwell School of Art from 1948 to 1950, during a time when Camberwell students studied under artists such as Victor Pasmore, Lawrence Gowing, John Minton, Kenneth Martin and William Coldstream. Uglow was influenced by Coldstream whilst at Camberwell, although he believed that another tutor there, the painter Claude Rogers, was more significant in his development. Nonetheless, when Coldstream left Camberwell to teach at the Slade School of Art in 1951, Uglow followed him, and remained a student at the Slade until 1954.
Refusing compulsory military service, Uglow was registered as a conscientious objector in 1954, and spent two years undertaking community work, assisting in the restoration of a war-damaged church by Christopher Wren in the City of London, redecorating the house of the artist Patrick George, and helping on a farm in Surrey.
Success in art was not immediate, and he did not sell a painting until eight years after leaving art school. During this time he took a variety of part-time teaching jobs, most notably at the Slade from 1961, an institution with which he was to be associated for the rest of his life.
In 1962 he was at the centre of a storm at the municipal art gallery in Bradford, Yorkshire, when a local councillor, Horace Hird, had one of Uglow's paintings, German Girl, removed from an Arts Council exhibition at the gallery. Hird claimed the painting 'offended decency'.
Despite this, Uglow was generally a shy artist who shunned publicity as well as honours, including an offer to become a member of the Royal Academy in 1961. However, he did become a trustee of the National Gallery in London in 1991, although, in his own words, he was generally ignored by the other trustees.
Uglow's first solo show was in 1961 at the Beaux Arts Gallery, but his slow and methodical working method did not lead to a large number of solo shows. In 1969 he exhibited drawings at the Gardener Centre at Sussex University, in 1974 at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London and then periodically at the Browse & Darby Gallery in London. He also took part in numerous group shows, including exhibitions of the London Group and the annual John Moores Prize exhibitions in Liverpool. In 1981 he took part in the exhibition Eight Figurative Painters at the University of Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, and in 1984 in The Hard Won Image at the Tate Gallery, London. In 1992 he featured in the exhibition British Figurative Painting of the 20th Century at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and in 2000 in the exhibition Encounters at the National Gallery in London. In 2002 a posthumous retrospective was organised by the Arts Council for England, entitled Spotlight on Euan Uglow, which toured around Britain. In 2003 there was a retrospective Euan Uglow: Controlled Passion, Fifty Years of Painting at the Abbot Hall Gallery, in Kendal.
In 1980 Uglow was invited by the artist Stass Paraskos to become the first artist-in-residence at the new Cyprus College of Art arts centre in village of Lempa on the island of Cyprus.
He has work in the collections of the Arts Council of England, the British Council, the National Museum of Wales, the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull, Glasgow Art Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Southampton City Art Gallery, the British Government Art Collection, the Tate Gallery and The Hepworth in Wakefield.
Uglow died of liver cancer at his home in Wandsworth, London, in 2000.
The Estate of Uglow is represented by Marlborough Fine Art, London.

Review: IK Multimedia ARC System (Mac/Win)
Fig. 1: The ARC plug-in EQ''s your playback system to give it a flat response based on the curve generated by the measurement application and the optional Target Curve.
Wouldn't it be great to trust the acoustics in your studio? To be able to do a mix where you didn't have to take a copy of your song, burn it to a CD, and then listen to it in your car, on your boombox, and even on your living room stereo to see how it translates? The reason why so many personal-studio owners often must do so much referencing during the mix process — even if they have excellent monitors — is that their studios have not been acoustically treated and tuned. As a result, sonic gremlins such as first-order reflections and standing waves wreak havoc with the sound and make it impossible to mix with confidence.
A big impediment to studios' getting treated is an economic one: custom acoustic treatments can be expensive. And many recordists would rather allocate their equipment budget to something sexier, like a new plug-in or microphone. But what if there were a relatively inexpensive way to use computer-based DSP to compensate for those acoustic anomalies? IK Multimedia's ARC System offers just such a solution, using Audyssey's MultEQ technology (see "Tech Page: Got Modes?" in the September issue, available at emusician.com), which was originally invented for the high-end home-audio and home-theater markets. The system is designed to correct both frequency- and time-based (phase) problems.
Process It
Can EQ alone cure your acoustic problems? I asked acoustic consultant Bob Hodas about it, and he told me that EQ is typically the icing on the cake of a treated room, used for final finishing-touch tweaks after all the absorbers, diffusers, and bass traps have been installed.
Other products on the market besides ARC use DSP as the primary tool for room tuning, including JBL's LSR-series speakers and KRK's ERGO system. One way in which these three products differ is that they all put their processing in different parts of the signal chain. For the LSR system, it's in the monitor cabinets themselves. For ERGO, it's in a dedicated box that's placed between the audio interface and the monitors. ARC does its processing as a VST, AU, or RTAS plug-in within your DAW (see Fig. 1).
Checking — One, Two
ARC is composed of a standalone measurement application (see Fig. 2), a plug-in for implementing the EQ curves, and a measurement microphone. This omni-pattern condenser (see Fig. 3) is specifically tailored for ARC, and the system won't work correctly if you substitute another measurement mic. The mic comes in a padded black plastic carrying case, and a windscreen and custom clip are included. An IK spokesperson told me that it's of good-enough quality to also use as a recording mic. I tested it out on acoustic guitar, resonator guitar, and shaker, and the results were solid if not inspiring. (To hear it in action as a recording mic, see Web Clip 1.)
After installing the ARC software, the next step is to take measurements in your studio. You start by putting the measurement mic on a stand, pointing it straight up at the ceiling, and placing it at ear height at your listening position, centered between the monitors. You then launch the measurement software, and it prompts you to press the Test button to make sure you're getting enough level through your monitors (it emits a series of test tones). Once your levels are set, you're ready to start measuring.
The software guides you through the testing process and for each measurement emits a series of ten tones each for the left and right speaker. (Currently the ARC System doesn't support surround.) The manual recommends taking at least 13 measurements, preferably 14 to 16 for every set of monitors in your studio. After each measurement, you move the mic to a different spot in and around your listening position. Suggested measurement positions are indicated graphically in the manual. (Kudos to IK for including a printed manual, not just a PDF.) According to IK, the Audyssey MultEQ technology is capable of correcting your room for multiple listening positions (for example, a main position with a client couch behind it).
If you have more than one pair of monitors, you need to take separate measurements for each type. That's because they have different frequency responses and interact differently with the room.
The measurement process goes fairly quickly, and once you've completed it, the software calculates an EQ curve and prompts you to name the preset. It then lets you select a speaker icon to graphically represent your speaker type when you call up a preset. (The graphic reminder is helpful if you have multiple monitors in your studio, because you have to change ARC presets each time you switch speakers.)
Open the DAW
To put your measurements to work, you open the ARC System plug-in within your DAW and insert it either on the master bus or, preferably, on a dedicated monitor bus, assuming you have a multioutput interface and your DAW allows it. I'll explain why in a moment.
The plug-in opens in a large window featuring a level meter, a trim control, a correction on/off switch, and several pull-down menus. The Measurement menu lets you choose the EQ preset that resulted from your measurement process. The Target Curve menu provides several additional presets to further tweak the room response if desired. Besides the default Flat setting, you can choose high-frequency rolloff, midrange compensation, and a curve that offers both.
The plug-in also displays a graph that shows helpful comparative data from the measurements: the original EQ curve of your monitors, the new curve with the ARC processing applied, and the frequency response after the Target Curve is enabled.
Once you've found the best setting for your room, the idea is to do your mixing while monitoring through the ARC plug-in with the correction on. When you're ready to bounce your mix down, you turn the correction off (assuming you have the ARC plug-in on the master bus; if you have it on a monitor bus, you can leave it on because it won't affect your mix).
Although turning off ARC before bouncing seems counterintuitive, it actually makes sense. By mixing while listening through ARC's processing, you're setting levels, EQ'ing, and adding effects with the corrected acoustics as your guide. You're making mixing decisions with ARC's processing compensating for the acoustic inaccuracies of your space. In a sense, ARC's EQ curves are fooling you into mixing as if you were in a "flat" room. That's why, if you're using ARC on your master bus, you must remember to bypass the plug-in before bouncing. Otherwise, you'd be redundantly adding the ARC processing, and you'd totally skew your mix.
One problem I ran into is that it's easy to forget to turn the ARC processing off when it's time to bounce. That's because it's basically a set-and-forget system. You don't need to interact with it except at the beginning of a session when you're opening the plug-in and getting levels set, unless you're switching between monitor pairs. When I first began mixing with ARC, I found that I often left it on by mistake and had to rerun my mix. My life was made easier after I inserted the ARC plug-in on an aux bus that fed a separate output pair — other than the main L and R — for monitoring.
Another awkward aspect of the ARC System's architecture — specifically the fact that it does its processing from within your DAW — is that once you've bounced your mix and you want to listen back to it in your studio, you need to import your mixed track back into your DAW (or into a 2-track editor that lets you monitor through plug-ins) with the ARC plug-in turned on. This is necessary in order to hear the music as you mixed it; that is, with ARC compensating for your room's acoustics. (According to IK, a solution to this problem is in development.)
Into the ARC
Those issues aside, the most important question about the ARC System is: how well does it work at flattening the response of your studio? To help answer this, I tested the system both in my studio, which has acoustic treatment (both absorber panels and bass traps), and in another room in my house that's completely untreated.
Not surprisingly, the differences in my treated studio were mostly subtle ones. There was a little less tubbiness in the monitors, and slightly more present highs when listening with the ARC processing on. The stereo image seemed to shrink a tiny bit when the processing was engaged.
In the untreated room, the sonic differences were much more dramatic. That room is of medium size and has a rectangular shape, and the speaker system in it is an inexpensive consumer 2.1 setup.
In that room, the comparative graph in the ARC plug-in showed that the room had a significant bump in the low end and lower midrange. With the ARC processing switched on, that bump went away. To compare the difference, I listened to mixes of songs that I was very familiar with. Sure enough, with it on, everything sounded clearer, less muddy, and more open. According to IK, one of ARC's strong points is its ability to make a bad-sounding room usable, and this was born out in my testing.
Mix and Match
I did quite a bit of mixing through the ARC System in both the treated and untreated rooms, and I was a little surprised to find that I didn't hear a major change in how those mixes translated to other speaker systems. Oddly, in my treated space, ARC's reduction of bass, which aimed to flatten the response, actually helped cause me to put too much bass into several mixes. Even in the untreated room, the differences between mixes done with and without ARC were less dramatic than I had expected.
Although I was surprised that ARC wasn't immediately improving my mixes, my contact at IK wasn't. He said that my ears were accustomed to my room's normal acoustics, and that it would take a while for me to get used to ARC's corrected sound.
Magic Bullet?
Overall, my opinion of the ARC System is mixed. I was impressed with its ability to apparently clean up the sound in a room, but I was disappointed when that didn't translate into substantial mix improvement. To be fair, there are other factors that affect how a mix turns out (mixing skill, ear fatigue, lack of objectivity, and so on), which certainly could have come into play. Still, I mixed close to ten full-length songs with ARC, over a number of weeks, and never saw significant changes in how my mixes translated.
A key question you have to ask yourself is: would you rather put the money you'd spend on the ARC System toward traditional acoustic treatment? If you're on a relatively tight budget and have a really bad-sounding room, ARC might be a cost-effective way to quickly improve the sound in your studio. But if you can afford physical acoustic treatment, I still think that's the best way to go.

room correction system
PROS: Can substantially improve playback in an untreated room. Good documentation. Target Curves allow further sound tailoring. Measurement process easy to complete. Allows for wide sweet spot.
CONS: Must turn off ARC processing before bouncing on some systems. Playing back bounced mix through ARC processing requires extra steps. Must switch EQ curves when switching monitors.

Same-sex marriage politics: How will it influence the court?
After the first day of Supreme Court deliberations over same-sex marriage, it's unclear exactly where the justices come down on the issue. It is clear, however, where public opinion is headed: A CBS News poll released this week provides the latest evidence that voters are increasingly accepting of same-sex marriages.
The tide of public opinion could arguably work in the favor of gay rights activists as they await decisions from the Supreme Court on two different cases relating to same-sex marriage. At the same time, the quickly changing public sentiment on gay rights goes to the heart of the conservative argument in both cases -- that the issue of marriage should be left up to voters and the legislative branches of government.
- Poll: 60% think federal gov't should recognize same-sex marriages
- Some believe atmosphere is safe for gay NFL player to come out
The conservative case
Yesterday, the court heard arguments in Hollingsworth v. Perry, which challenges the constitutionality of Proposition 8, California's same-sex marriage ban.
Charles Cooper, the attorney for Prop. 8's supporters, did not open his argument with any mention of protecting traditional marriage or its role in society -- rather, he began by urging the justices to protect the democratic process.
"The accepted truth...is one that is changing and changing rapidly in this country as people throughout the country engage in an earnest debate over whether the age-old definition of marriage should be changed to include same-sex couples," he said. "The question before this court is whether the Constitution puts a stop to that ongoing democratic debate and answers this question for all 50 States."
Today, the court hears arguments in United States v. Windsor, the case against a section of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that denies legally married same-sex couples federal benefits, such as Social Security benefits.
In its brief defending the law on behalf of House Republicans, the Bipartisan Leadership Advisory Group (BLAG) argues, "DOMA permitted states to perform their role as 'laboratories of democracy,' while at the same time ensuring that no one state's experiment would be imposed on other states or on the federal government. DOMA thus reflects an interest in ensuring that, at a time of unprecedented reconsideration of the traditional definition of marriage, each sovereign in our federal system may decide this important issue for itself."
Given the vigor of the ongoing debate over same-sex marriage, some gay rights activists were at first concerned taking California's Prop. 8 to the Supreme Court could backfire. "They were fearful it was too early, too soon and that an adverse decision on gay rights could set back the cause for years," explained UCLA School of Law professor Adam Winkler.
To a certain extent, the justices yesterday did seem to suggest it may be too early for a broad, national ruling on same-sex marriage.
"The one thing that the parties in this case seem to agree on is that marriage is very important," Justice Samuel Alito said. "It's thought to be a fundamental building block of society and its preservation essential for the preservation of society. Traditional marriage has been around for thousands of years. Same-sex marriage is very new... So there isn't a lot of data about its effect. And it may turn out to be a -- a good thing; it may turn out not to be a good thing, as the supporters of Proposition 8 apparently believe. But you want us to step in and render a decision based on an assessment of the effects of this institution which is newer than cell phones or the Internet?"
Justice Anthony Kennedy, who may be the swing vote in the Prop. 8 case, seemed to agree "there's substance to the point that sociological information is new."
The case for change
On the other hand, Kennedy seemed sympathetic to the fact that, in spite of existing same-sex marriage bans, same-sex couples are well accepted in places like California. They run households and start families just as opposite-sex couples do.
"There are some 40,000 children in California... that live with same-sex parents, and they want their parents to have full recognition and full status," Kennedy said. "The voice of those children is important in this case, don't you think?"
- Supreme Court proceeds cautiously on same-sex marriage
- 5 possible outcomes of the Supreme Court Prop. 8 case
In the latest CBS News poll, one-fifth of Americans who have come around to supporting same-sex marriage said they changed their minds after getting to know someone who is gay. Personal connections to gays and lesbians are also prompting leaders and public officials -- like Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, whose son is gay -- to come out in support of same-sex marriage. A number of other politicians including Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va.; and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.; and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have also recently declared their support for same-sex marriage. Even President Obama came around on the issue just last year.
With same-sex marriage quickly gaining support among the public and political leaders, the Supreme Court justices may not want to be left behind.
"Justice Anthony Kennedy and Chief Justice John Roberts may be very concerned about how their votes contribute to their legacy," Winkler said. The relatively young Roberts may be on the court for another 25 years, Winkler noted. "He must know that by the time he resigns, gay rights will be much stronger than they are today. Does he want to be on the wrong side of history? His vote to uphold Obamacare may be a sign that he is cognizant of the judgment of history."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor seemed open to the idea that banning same-sex marriage was simply discriminatory.
"Outside of the marriage context, can you think of any other rational basis, reason, for a state using sexual orientation as a factor in denying homosexuals benefits or imposing burdens on them?" she asked. "Is there any other rational decision-making that the government could make?"

Ben Affleck Takes Daughter Seraphina To Breakfast — Cute Pic
How cute! Seraphina got some quality time in with her daddy on a breakfast date!
After a huge winning Oscar weekend, Ben Affleck, 40, spent some down time relaxing with his daughter 4-year-old Seraphina! Ben and Sera ditched mom Jennifer Garner, and siblings Violet and Samuel at home to spend some one-on-one time at the Brentwood County Mart on March 1 in Brentwood, CA.
The Oscar winner left the breakfast with his daughter's hand in one hand and two coffees in the other (maybe taking one home for Jen?). Seraphina sported a somewhat mismatched pink ensemble including adorable green tights with pink hearts! We cannot get over how adorable the Garner/Affleck family is!
Ben Affleck Tearfully Thanks Children During His Oscar Acceptance Speech
According to Ben, he owes all his good fortune this awards show season to his three children. Before several awards shows, Seraphina and Violet performed a ritual of writing their good luck wishes all over Ben's hands. When Ben raked in a Best Picture Oscar for his film Argo at the 85th Annual Academy Awards, he delivered a very emotional and heartfelt thank you to his family.
Ben first thanked his wife Jennifer and joked, "I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases." At the end of his speech, a choked up Ben stated, "Violet, Sam, and Sera this is for you." It was clear from Ben's extremely moving speech just how important his family is to him.
HollyMoms, do YOU think Ben is a great day? Vote below!

Build your own meals popular in Asian cuisine
While many an American table is familiar with occasional meals where personalized tastes make up a plate (think Taco Tuesday), in Asian cuisine that idea is common. Rather than rely on the one-dimensional family-style dishes we're familiar with, in Korean Barbecue, Japanese Shabu Shabu, and Ramen noodle bars, the taste of the person eating dictates the outcome.
Lovers of Korean Barbeque will head to local award-winner Dae Gee. The Westminster restaurant, whose porcine logo is its namesake, is opening another location in September. Per tradition, Galbee ribs are made to order on a tabletop grill, while a flurry of tiny side dishes known as banchan dot the table. The sides vary from spicy Korean sauerkraut (kim chee) to garlicky broccoli kissed with sesame oil, potato salad, and tofu in chili sauce that can be sampled as the meat cooks or enjoyed over rice as desired. 7570 Sheridan Blvd., Westminster; 720-540-0700 daegee.com

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
Throughout all of our Scriptures we see God breaking into human history,
telling us that He loves us. Yes, for sure, there are times when God
presents a moral code to us. That way of living is not meant to kill us
but it is meant to guide us so that we can have truly happy and joyful
lives. Far too often we can misunderstand the intent of moral codes.
The focus of the first reading today, from the Prophet Isaiah, is that God
Himself will send the Savior to us. We might be afraid to ask God for what
we need and for what could help us. This is a very different kind of
praying. Perhaps too often we ask for material help, for good things, for
whatever. The prayer that we can have today is very simple: God, send me
what I need to live a life of joy in your presence. Or we can pray as a
community: God, send us what we need so that we can respond to your love
with our own love.
The reading from the Letter to the Romans instructs us about the obedience
of faith: doing whatever God invites us to do. This continues the joy of
thinking of the birth of the Lord. Mary conceived by obedience to God's
word. You and I will have our lives changed by obedience to that same
word. We want to listen and to respond.
The Gospel today is about the response of Joseph to God's word. Once again
this is a model of how we can respond: listen, believe and act. We listen
by reading the Scriptures. We listen by paying attention to the teachings
of the Church. We listen by loving one another. In all of this we choose
to believe that God is present in a special way. The word to which we
listen must become alive in our lives and we must act on that word.
May our love for God transform us! May the contemplation of His Word help
us understand how to love others more! May our hearts go out to others and
be transformed by that love! May Christ be born in our world and in our
hearts and in every aspect of our human life!

Senior Design Expo 2010
On April 28, 2010, Stevens' annual Senior Design Expo showcased an array of more than 80 innovative projects across all disciplines.
As part of their degree fulfillment, teams of graduating seniors demonstrate projects they have jointly engineered, often involving complex mechanical and electronic devices, as well as virtual prototypes.
Project teams of typically two to six students (and sometimes larger groups) work together over two academic semesters. Many of these projects are sponsored or mentored in collaboration with an industrial partner. In addition, many of the projects represent cross-disciplinary collaboration among teams.
Among this year's projects:
The Lift of Faith is a hoist device designed to help disabled individuals to be more independent during water sports. Designed by Pietro Vardaro, Kostas Gatanis and Mahmoud Altayeb, the project is designed to facilitate a water skiing clinic for paraplegics.
"Paraplegics water ski for health reasons because their cardiovascular systems don't get enough exercise. So this project helps them be lifted out of the water and then places them into their wheelchairs," said Gatanis.
The project also addressed the size, shape and conditions of the dock.
"There isn't a whole lot of room on the dock so we needed to have a small base. In order to do that, we used a double base plate and that sandwiches the wood and gives it more stability. That was necessary because along with paraplegics, there are blind people on the dock who also need to move around," said Vardaro.
The Digital Triage Assistant is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between ECE and Biomedical Engineering students. This integrated, scalable, smart system is capable of patient registration, vital sign monitoring and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) connectivity. Team members included Malika Bhargava, Leticia Ennist, Rosemary Garofalo, S. Raza Husain, Vaida Jakimaviciute, Cameron Abt, Szymon Butryn and Glenn Shevach.
"We've developed a mobile vital signs recorder for the emergency room," said team member Peter Backeris. "The purpose is to streamline triage by allowing vital signs to be recorded simultaneously on one device and to allow those signs to be automatically documented by saving them to a database. We've come up with a PDA that operates the device and a barcode scanner that's used to link a wristband ID to a patient."
The smart system can be operated by technicians, freeing up nurses to do more specialized tasks, while providing a full set of initial vital signs for all patients to support triage assessment and clinical evaluation.
"The problem is that triage takes a really long time. Just measuring vital signs takes about seven minutes," explained Vaida Jakimaviciute.
"Also, when you press record, the signs are sent to the central monitoring station, so nurses or technicians don't have to record them manually," said Jakimaviciute.
The Biomedical Engineering project Immunoclue is a handheld diagnostic device for point of care use in antigen detection. The device was developed by team members Marc van de Rijn, Zoe Folchman-Wagner, Jen McGuire, Steven DeFroda and Peter Movilla.
"This is a rapid diagnostic test for Chlamydia," said DeFroda. "We start Chlamydia in tubes and then we add colored polystyrene beads that turn the solution blue. The beads have a high affinity to bind to the Chlamydia, so we have the colored bead that will attach to Chlamydia if it is present."
The solution sits for three minutes so it fully attaches. Then a magnetic bead, which is conjugated with an antibody specific for the Chlamydia, is added.
"If there's Chlamydia present, the magnetic bead will attach to the Chlamydia, which is already attached to the colored aspect," said DeFroda.
The mixture is then loaded into the diagnostic device.
"The device has a magnet, which can pull the magnetic beads to one end, so if Chlamydia is present, the colored part that was attached to the Chlamydia and attached to the magnetic bead would get pulled to the end, and we'd see a color change," said DeFroda.
All told, the entire test and wait time is less than 12 minutes.
"You could put a test like this in a doctor's office. A patient can give a sample and after 10 minutes, that person would know if they need to begin treatment or not," said DeFroda.
Gravtrav, developed by Michael Gallo, Roxanne Le and Kyle Seppala, is a door-to-door travel integration focused on connecting livery services to airport travel. This is the link between the travel agency, car service and traveler. It consists of three fronts: A module that would exist into existing travel sites, an independent website through which a traveler could book a car service, and a mobile application to book a car service from any location.
"We came up with an idea for an app for a phone – iPhone, Droid or Blackberry – where you click a button and it locates the nearest taxi services or car services. It tells you how far they are and how much they cost," said Seppala.
Easy Keys is a mechanical and electrical self-tuning system for an upright piano. The device, aimed at music studios, schools and conservatories, was developed by team members Victoria Theese, Tom Oliphant, Russel Jones, Pat Rienzo and Kieran Walters.
"A piano costs about $100 for a professional tuner come and tune it. You can't really do it yourself. It's hard and it's a skill acquired over a lifetime," explained Russel Jones.
Piano tunings also have to be scheduled in advance.
"With our system, you can just install it on your piano, turn it on and walk away while it works," said Jones. "It has a tuning mechanism that's suspended on guide rails above the tuning pegs. It moves autonomously based on a preset algorithm to the peg you want to tune. It sits down on the peg, engages it with a socket head, strikes the string, and a microphone picks it up. The microphone determines whether it's sharp or flat and directs the motor to take the correct action. When it verifies that it's in tune, it moves on to the next string."
The Rescue Me Phone is a downloadable application available to anyone who owns an iPhone or an iPod Touch. The proposed system will allow rescue workers to locate and identify victims buried in rubble after a natural or man-made disaster with a significantly greater degree of accuracy than is currently possible. This Proof of Concept joint project between Business and Technology and Computer Science students was developed by Richard Girouard, James McEve, Haoyun Wan, Rui Xiong, Ryan Barnes, Javier Brion, Brian Donohue, Daniel Fleming and Andrij Kuzyszyn.
"When you're trapped because of an earthquake, 95 percent of the time, there's no way of communicating with the surface, because there's no cell service," said Richard Girouard. "We've come up with an app that doesn't involve any wireless connection of cell phone service. It works through percussive messages, like banging on a pipe, banging debris or blowing a whistle."
With the application, the trapped person would enter the message he or she wants to send to rescuers. The app counts down to zero and then signals to the trapped person to make a percussive noise.
"At the surface, you have the rescue team, who would also have the application. The application on the receive side would decode the message and turn it back into the text or numeric message," said Girouard. "This is something that we can install on any cell phone."
Tabulate IT, developed by David Arvelo, Brandon Langley, Dario Torres and Raymond Lopez, serves to create a powerful interface for both novice and expert guitarists. It will provide through computer software a means for guitarists to compose music by charting, in tablature and sheet music format, notes played in real time.
"When I started playing guitar, I would come up with melodies but I would have to stop playing to write them down," said Arvelo. "Because your brain is in a different mode of thinking, sometimes you forget what you're writing. This group came together to develop something that will write your music automatically as you play the guitar. Right it will recognize which frets you play."
Though the device is still under development, Arvelo said only a few more steps are needed before a guitarist could use it to write his or her music.
The Wave Energy Power Generator generates power from the energy present in water waves. Mechanical Engineering students Joe Arena, Morgan De Sena, Burke Reynolds and Keenan Slobodzian designed a buoy to harvest the energy present.
"This buoy sits in the water and as waves go past it, pushing the buoy up and down, it oscillates on a guide pole with a magnet inside," said Reynolds. "There are wire coils in the buoy and as it passes through the magnetic field, it generates current."
The current produced from the linear magnet is converted from AC to DC via the use of a simple circuit.
The US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon project was a multi-disciplinary team effort composed of engineers from Stevens and architects and designers from Parsons The New School for Design. The project, sponsored by Viessmann and the US Department of Energy, is part of is a collegiate competition where 20 teams are selected to compete with fully functional, net-zero-energy homes of their own design that are then judged and scored in 10 diverse contests.
Mechanical Engineering students Miryam Dreyfuss, Erich Rau and Stephen Yanczura were the members of the Stevens team.
"One house is actually going straight to the site in D.C. and the other house is going to a competition on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in 2011," said Dreyfuss. "After the competition, the two houses will be joined together to become a duplex for two families."
The house will maximize the passive systems in a home, resulting in more efficiency, less energy used and a lower heating or cooling costs to the homeowner or resident.
"We're also working with Habitat for Humanity on this, because they really like the idea of a passive house. They liked the idea so much that they're interested in integrating it into all their builds across the country," said Dreyfuss.

Shopping in Ibiza
You'll have a great time discovering Ibiza's popular hippy markets, where you can still today find a real 70s feel. You'll love browsing in these open-air bazaars with their colourful, lively, multi-cultural atmosphere, and looking for that perfect and original gift. As they're open every day you don't need to rush, particularly in summer. The largest and oldest market on the island is on Wednesdays: it has 400 stalls and is known as the Es Canar market in Punta Arabí. On Saturdays there is another emblematic market, Las Dalias, in Sant Carles, which in winter becomes an alternative Christmas market.
Of course you'll want to dress in Ibiza's typical white natural-fibre fashions, known internationally as the Adlib style. The island also has markets selling typical crafts (baskets, table linen, ceramics, leather articles…), where you can even watch as they are being made. Examples include Santa Eularia, Ses Figueretes, San Antoni and the Patio de Armas square at Dalt Vila.

Former Gov. Gary Johnson joins effort to repeal Colorado gun law
Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, who ran for president last year on the Libertarian Party ticket, will serve as honorary chairman of a group trying to overturn a recently passed bill that limits ammunition magazines to 15 rounds.
The grassroots effort attempting to repeal the bill passed by the Democratic-controlled legislature and signed into law by Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is known as Save our Shotguns. The group is trying to put a measure on the 2014 ballot that would let voters decide whether to undo House Bill 1224.
The group released a poll conducted May 16 through 21 that shows Colorado voters favor repeal 52 percent to 44 percent, with 4 percent undecided. The study was conducted by NSON Opinion Strategy.
"Despite what some, including the Colorado legislature and Gov. Hickenlooper would have us believe, the Second Amendment is crystal clear," Johnson said, in a news release.
"Placing an arbitrary limit on the capacity of a gun magazine is an unacceptable restriction on the rights of gun owners, manufacturers and sellers, and I am anxious to help give voters an opportunity to restore those rights. … Restricting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens does not make anyone safer. Rather, it simply empowers those who have no regard for the law and who wish to do us harm."

Writing a follow-up seems necessary at this point, because my last post garnered more attention than I had anticipated, and the comments on it were much more, well, ridiculous than I think I can give justice to (thanks, hacker news!).
I thought I'd take the time to clarify a few points and respond generally.
The first thing I'd like to say is how shocked I was at two things:
- Respondents simply didn't appear to have read the post before commenting – infuriating, many are programmers being dicks (as if we needed more evidence of sexism and racism etc.).
- Respondents appear to still believe we live in a meritocracy, free from discrimination with complete equal opportunity.
Unfortunately, point two is bogus. Discrimination is a problem. I, personally, don't give a monkey's how many women or whoever are in our industry, as long as everyone who wanted to be here could and had free opportunity to do so, but sadly that is not the case and as such our community is not representative of all those that could be here if discrimination, from stereotyping roles to outright sexism/racism/agism/*ism, was not present. As such, we have a duty to address the problems that disable people's opportunities.
Comments from people who aren't living under rocks mostly took issue with the idea that I was letting conferences off the hook. That was my own poor writing skills, and I added a note to the end of the last post to clarify slightly. In short: Conferences can make changes that have the potential to improve diversity in our circles, but it's not the only place we can and should be putting pressure. And, in fact, if we can work on other ways to improve diversity we can help conferences achieve a more diverse voice.
Finally, .NET magazine asked my opinion on a couple of questions, and I responded. The article in it's completeness, unfortunately, created a platform for a ridiculous parody site that I believe not only denies the issues at hand but conflates and confuses matters even more. I apologise for that fact, as I was not aware of it before publish. Update: .NET have removed the link to the parody site I refer to, due to it's offensive nature.
My full responses for .NET are below, as I think they explain some more detail on my overall thoughts on diversity, but before that – if you can just take one thing away from this know that I believe: Equal opportunity matters more than anything else and we don't have it, which has resulted in a lack of diversity. We can fix that.
Q&A with Craig Grannell of .NET
Craig: Why did you feel the need to write the piece?
As I intimated at the start of the article, there have been various outbreaks of finger pointing at conferences over the last few months about lack of diversity, and I guess I was just getting bored of it.
I felt that conferences were being blamed somehow for creating a lack of diversity within our industry, which appeared to me as unfair considering that there simply are, relatively speaking, very few women within our industry (particularly in development circles) who are also at the level to be able to provide a relevant, expert opinion and then also have the relevant speaking experience (or even the desire to speak at all).
I simply wanted to add a differing view to the discussion that perhaps we should see the lack of diversity in conference line-ups as symptoms of much deeper issues, and as well as demanding the conferences fairly represent our interests and experts, we should also start looking at other ways to create and encourage diversity and develop a better representation of the world at large. That maybe it's time to start treating the lung cancer, instead of just the cough?
Craig: Do you think positive discrimination would in the long run do more harm than good to non-white men. If conferences started doing quotas, would that negatively impact on women in the industry, say?
It's difficult to say – I think if it was widely believed that positive discrimination was happening everywhere, as a given, it would cause us to eventually ask a lot of questions like "is that person on stage because they are the very best person to explain this to me, or are they fulfilling a quota?" (particularly if a talk goes badly, which can happen from time to time for a variety of reasons). No body wants to be the token member of a line-up (I certainly don't, and would turn down any opportunity that I thought that was the case). After everything is said and done, the only people we want to see on stage, regardless of what group they may represent, should be there on merit, and have the ability to give a good talk, inspire and educate, even if that comes at the cost of not fulfilling a desired quota sometimes.
As it stands, I don't think we're seeing positive discrimination in that obviously negative guise, rather it's something more akin to "I have two well placed, equally viable, experts, but one of these would help me to better represent a group of people I feel is underrepresented – so lets go with that one!", which seems quite reasonable to me. I think it's also really helpful when conferences make it very clear how they selected their speakers. Was it blind proposals? Did you hand select? How many submissions did you get? The more we understand about the process of finding speakers, the more we can make our own mind up about how well curated a set of talks is as audience members.
Long term, I think we should be aiming to not have to even consider whether one person should be chosen over another to help fulfil quotas or present more people of one type of group. Ideally, we'd like to be selecting from a pool of people that are *already* better representing the wealth and diversity of opinion in the world as a whole, so that it simply becomes a discussion of "which of these talks will have the most value?".
Craig: Should more developers rather than sharing with peers get involved with local schools, to encourage more girls to become designers and developers in the industry?
I don't think it's an either/or scenario. More developers from more walks of life should be speaking and sharing their views, opinions and experiences. Yes, please, more of that. It would also be great if more developers wanted to go back to school, as one example, and encourage the next generation of potential web creators. We have a lot of resources, expertise and generally really nice people in our community and we could put our collective abilities together to make some really lasting changes. We're already seeing such efforts popping up, such as various coding for kids movements.
Craig: Is there also a need to encourage more women in the industry to share their experiences and insight more often?
Again, more experiences shared is better no matter who you are or where you came from. If a group of people currently feel that they have no way or voice in the industry, then yes, we should be positively encouraging their participation, and perhaps that means creating new platforms for more people to find those opportunities to share their expertise

I am wondering about the drag coefficient for a flow past a cylinder. I am reading this article.
I understand why the drag is high to begin with (point 2), when the boundary layer separates and the recirculations appear, the pressure behind the cylinder (where the wakes are located) will drop, creating a drag. This is similar to what happens when vortices appear at the end of an airplane wing, the result is a drag force.
However, I am wondering about the following:
1) Why does the drag decrease as the Re goes up?
2) Why does the drag coefficient take a dive at point 5
3) Why does it rise after point 5?
The text doesn't really explain why the drag coefficient is increasing or decreasing.

ZAZEN TOMORROW (March 24, 2007)
I haven't done this for a while, but I want to remind everyone that there is a Zazen class at the Hill Street Center in Santa Monica tomorrow morning. It's open to anyone who wants to show up. Not many ever do, so there's no worry about it being crowded.
I gave a talk at UCLA on Wednesday night. One girl who was there commented that my personality in "real life" was a lot different from what she'd imagined from reading my books and blog posts. In other words, I guess, I was not some fire breathing punk rock ogre. I dunno. I don't really see the difference so clearly. But I suppose when you read something, you tend to give it a specific voice in your head. Maybe the voice everyone gives me is Johnny Rotten crossed with Ian MacKaye (both very nice guys in person, I'm told, by the way).
I remember a bazillion years ago there was this band in Akron called Outerwear. When I first heard them, I thought their lyrics were really morbid and depressing. Then one day I was listening to a tape of them and I just burst out laughing. Their songs were actually hilarious. I told one of them about that later and she said that was always the point of their music. To them it was all very funny. Just goes to show you, I guess. Most of the stuff that gets lots of people angry here is hilarious to me.
Anyway, all this is just to say please don't be scared to show up for Zazen cuz you think I might yell and scream and vomit all over you or whatever, because I usually don't.

Shine before taking the helm at Lucky in 2011. And, she says, if you want to snag a top spot on a magazine masthead, you need to be a vocal and proactive voice for the brand. "I think people make a mistake when they wanna climb the masthead, and they assume the editor-in-chief should pay attention to them. And, now that I'm on the other side of the desk, I love people who come to me," Holley said in our Media Beat interview. Holley explained that she made a name for herself at GQ by giving "steady input without being annoying" to editor-in-chief Art Cooper. "I wasn't kissing ass, but I would write memos to him and say, 'I think this section could use this,' and 'I think we should start a new section that's this'… I'm a huge fan of memo writing." The EIC also debunked that rumor about Lucky going all-digital or scaling back its print frequency. "That was a weird misunderstanding of our mission," she said.

Story highlights
- Judge says it's a "realistic and fair date"
- Tsarnaev's lawyers requested that the trial start no earlier than September 2015
- Prosecutors say the trial will last about 12 weeks
- They will seek the death penalty
Rebuffing his lawyers' request, a federal judge has set the trial date for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for November 3.
The date was set during a status hearing in Boston federal court Wednesday.
On Monday, Tsarnaev's lawyers had filed a report requesting that the trial start no earlier than September 2015.
Tsarnaev's lawyers said they had not had a chance to review the many pieces of physical evidence, "including nearly 2,000 items that reportedly are still being analyzed by the FBI and items kept at additional locations."
They were unable to sway Judge George O'Toole.
"I think this is a realistic and fair date," he said Wednesday.
Judy Clarke,Tsarnaev's lead attorney, said "meeting the trial date will be impossible."
Prosecutors to seek death penalty
Prosecutors said they estimate the trial would last approximately 12 weeks.
If Tsarnaev is found guilty, prosecutors expect the sentencing hearing would last approximately six weeks.
Jurors will not only weigh whether he's guilty but also whether he deserves to die.
Federal prosecutors said last month they'll seek the death penalty against Tsarnaev, arguing that he acted in "an especially heinous, cruel and depraved manner" and lacks remorse.
Tsarnaev is charged with 30 federal counts stemming from the April 15 attack, which left three people dead and more than 250 others injured.
Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Authorities allege Tsarnaev, a Chechnya-born American, and his brother, Tamerlan, planted two homemade bombs near the finish line of the marathon, then killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer three days later.
The attacks triggered the massive manhunt that led to Tsarnaev's capture. Police shot and killed Tamerlan Tsarnaev during the manhunt.

A week after an Apple spokesman downplayed the lackluster Maps app in iOS 6 by saying, "We are just getting started," CEO Tim Cook has a few words of his own for disappointed Apple customers: We're sorry.
"At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers," Cook said in an open letter published on the Apple website. "With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better."
To that effect, Cook notes that over 100 million Apple devices have already made more than half a billion location searches with the new Maps app, and the company is using that gargantuan amount of data to fine-tune the Maps experience. Legions of unhappy iPhone 5 owners have complained that the Maps app is buggy and often unreliable.
Cook then took the extraordinary step of offering the names of competing mapping services that customers can use while Apple gets its Maps act together, suggesting apps from Bing, MapQuest and Waze and even going so far as to explain how to get Google or Nokia's web-based maps working as a selectable iOS icon.
Apple may have a reputation for keeping criticism at arm's length, but the company isn't afraid to address a concern head-on if it's an issue with product quality. Steve Jobs held a press conference to discuss the iPhone 4's "AntennaGate" issue and offered users a free case or $15 for their troubles, remember.
The full text of Cook's letter is below.
To our customers,
At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers. With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better.
We launched Maps initially with the first version of iOS. As time progressed, we wanted to provide our customers with even better Maps including features such as turn-by-turn directions, voice integration, Flyover and vector-based maps. In order to do this, we had to create a new version of Maps from the ground up.
There are already more than 100 million iOS devices using the new Apple Maps, with more and more joining us every day. In just over a week, iOS users with the new Maps have already searched for nearly half a billion locations. The more our customers use our Maps the better it will get and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback we have received from you.
While we're improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on your home screen to their web app.
Everything we do at Apple is aimed at making our products the best in the world. We know that you expect that from us, and we will keep working non-stop until Maps lives up to the same incredibly high standard.
Tim Cook
Apple's CEO

Given all the different platforms that movies are available on, one might think their value as a form of programming for a cable network would be on the decline.
Not so for News Corp.'s FX, which has the rights to many of the top theatrical releases of 2013, including "Iron Man 3," which last week took in over $170 million in U.S. box office.
Other theatricals that will run on FX include "Pain & Gain," "Oblivion," "A Good Day to Die Hard" and "The Croods."
Although the titles will have been available on other outlets including HBO ("Oblivion"), Epix ("Pain & Gain") Starz ("Iron Man 3") and Netflix ("The Croods") prior to arriving on FX, the cable network still gets solid numbers for theatrical movies. Last Sunday, it ran "Iron Man 2," which averaged almost 3.3 million viewers.
When FX has a movie such as "Iron Man 2" in what is known as its window, that movie is not available on another TV network or a streaming service.
The price for the television rights to a movie is determined by its box-office performance. Deals typically run about four years and the license fee is generally 10% to 12% of the U.S. box-office take. Usually, there is a cap of $200 million on any one film in determining the price.
FX to launch sister channel FXX
FX goes on a movie-buying spree
Follow Joe Flint on Twitter @JBFlint.
For the record: This post was corrected to reflect that Starz, not Epix, has the pay-TV rights to "Iron Man 3."

Audi just released pricing and release information on the American version of the R8 V10. We've been waiting for this ever since Europe got it, and Audi said they'll be shipping the first R8 V10s to the States starting this week!
Pricing for the regular R8 (V8) stays at the same $114,200 for the 2010 model, with the V10 version coming in at $146,000 – a $32K price difference. Still not bad if you consider what you're getting dollar-for-performance. The 5.2-liter V10 engine in the R8 5.2 is the same powerhouse found in the R8 LMS GT3 racecar. It produces 525 horsepower, 391 lb/ft of torque, and can get you from 0-60 mph in only 3.7 seconds. That's fast.
The 2010 Audi R8 V10 gets some special equipment too, of course. Some unique exterior features include wider sideblades to catch more air, a shinier front grille, full-LED headlights, new 19-inch wheels, new oval-shaped exhaust tips, new rocker panel design, a larger rear diffuser, and "V10" badges all around, including on the instrument cluster. As expected, it has Audi's quattro AWD system, and comes standard with navigation, a 465 watt Bang & Olufen sound system, 10-way power heated sport seats, rear view camera with parking system, and a few other gadgets. "Sepang Blue Pearl" paint will be offered exclusively on the R8 V10. It looks fantastic, in case you were worried.
The first two 2010 R8 V10s bound for the States were sold to two rich bastards at the Boca Raton Concours d' Elegance charity auction who paid $500,000 and $450,000 for the cars. Good to know everyone isn't struggling financially right now.
I'm going to try to get into one of these soon, assuming there are any available. If I succeed, expect a full review posted here immediately afterwards. Many more pictures below:

First, let's consider what the picture is actually supposed to be about. "Young Women" is the LDS Church's organization for girls age 12 - 18. Christ and Young Women is supposed to be depicting Jesus' love for these girls. He's all nice and stuff and like it's OK to get close to him and he's approachable and whatever because he's our Elder Brother and all and omigosh he loves us so-o-o-o much. Or something like that.
So why does the painting fail so spectacularly? (Note to people who actually don't think it fails: It does. Trust me, 99.7 percent of people who aren't LDS and 87.6 percent of people who are see the picture exactly the way I do. And I know those statistics are accurate, because I made them up myself.)
So why does the painting fail so spectacularly? For a start, the pose is far too intimate. Imagine walking into a room and seeing a 30-year-old Sunday school teacher and four teenage girls sitting in exactly that pose. You'd think about calling the police, or at least having a serious talk with their parents.
There's the girl in back with the proprietary hand on Jesus' shoulder. Then there's the girl sitting next to him so closely that she's practically hugging him. Plus the two girls sitting at his feet. Three of the girls gaze at him adoringly. He smirks and reaches out his hand to the only girl actually leaning away from him. "Come closer, little darlin'." Ugh.
Then there are the roses (Alternate title: Valentine's Day Jesus). As my spouse said, "Well... maybe if they weren't holding flowers...." I have no idea what the artist had in mind, but flowers, roses especially, are symbols of romantic love. Even worse, but Jesus' rose stands manfully erect, while the girl's roses lie down submissively yet attentively.
And the white robes. I suppose these are meant to represent purity, which is fine, but they also have the unfortunate effect of making the girls look like brides. So much so that one blogger even asked if the painting was a representation of the old-time Mormon speculation that Jesus was a polygamist.
The sashes probably represent the "Young Women's Values," each of which is associated with a color. Unfortunately, people who don't know that may think that the different color sashes represent kung fu ranks or something. (Alternate title: Jesus and His Deadly Viper Assassination Squad Take a Break in the Park)
Finally, all the girls are skinny and beautiful with long flowing hair and lovely glowing skin. Of course Jesus loves girls like that. Who doesn't? That's why I don't think those are the girls who could be most helped by believing Jesus loves them. In all seriousness, if some or all of the girls in the picture were heavyset, with stringy hair and bad complexions, that might make a big difference. "Other people judge by what's on the outside, but Jesus knows you and loves you for what you really are." It couldn't hurt. And it might make the picture look a little less suggestive.
So how could anyone paint this picture and not recognize how it would look to most people? How could the artist be so spectacularly tone deaf? I have a theory: Some very religious people are so innocent that they are incapable of seeing what seems suggestive (especially sexually suggestive) to other people. They often don't realize when they've made an inadvertent double entendre -- at least not until someone points it out to them -- and they don't see (and will argue against) the sexual connotations of a picture like this one. They're just too sweet and innocent to "get" things that are obvious to dirtier minds. (See here and here [the part about Edward "eating" Bella] for other examples.)
Fortunately, this can be a rich source of comedy for the rest of us.
Hat tips: I first saw the picture here. There's a long discussion (300-plus comments) here.

In terms of intelligent modern pop records, it wouldn't seem that far-fetched to imagine Pip Brown's fine 2008 debut sitting having dinner with Annie's Anniemal, glowering through heavily mascaraed eyelashes and muttering 'Why the f**k aren't we massive when Ke$ha is?'. Though her self-titled debut as Ladyhawke certainly didn't slouch or sag in commercial terms; that seems a fair and pertinent question: the 2008 record was a genuine surprise package amongst a sea of dreck and derivatives bobbing aimlessly around at the time. But that's the way these things transpire and so undaunted, Brown returns for a second attempt at staking her territory in an electronic pop world which seems to grow somewhat stranger, more fractured and that bit more threatening by the day. In fitting with this, Anxiety is a record that never quite seems comfortable in its own skin… with that generally being meant in positive terms. It's jittery, nervous, and full of self-doubt and dilemma. But all underpinned by a swirling decadence and the tinge of chemical aplomb remaining amongst the morning-after blues.
First things come first: Anxiety sounds great. If anything, the electro influences are worn even more prominently on the sleeve, arriving as a gleefully seductive, fizzed up and high-octane collision of kaleidoscopic pop, indie and electroclash. And when the perfect storm does indeed come together, she's capable of brilliance. The dirty bass and breathless plotting of opener 'A Girl Like Me' is delicious, as is the glam-stomp plea of 'Sunday Drive' and the rattling, overdriven showdown of 'The Quick & The Dead'. But best of all is the quite magnificent 'Blue Eyes', which comes out swinging with clattering hi-hats, scabrous electro-synths and a dominating "nah nah" chorus, before being topped off with a wickedly sleazy guitar solo. It's the album's finest track by some way and if there's any logical sense prevailing, it'll surely be the next single. Actually, scrap that. It HAS to be.
Anxiety however, does have two nagging and wounding flaws. There's clearly a significant streak of self-doubt running through the album: from the vaguely disturbing cover are, to the CD design (a somewhat nonplussed cartoon demon face) and the continual pleas, paranoia and ever-present sadness that seems to penetrate deep into the cracks of the music. But the lyrics can eventually become somewhat wearisome and, at times, flirt dangerously with cliché. The title track is especially guilty in this regard with a selection of clunky rhyming couplets stacked awkwardly one after another. In all honesty, it isn't so much that there is anything truly abysmal to hold to account. It's more that the melancholia of the lyrics does eventually begin to drag its heels into the momentum and flow of the record. That being said, when the occasional moments of fight arise, the record genuinely shines: the excellent 'Cellophane' and the sneering kiss-off closer of 'Gone Gone Gone' being a particularly impressive climax to proceedings.
Possibly a touch more concerning in terms of the broader picture is that the album's less stellar moments do present as little more than a reshuffle of the sounds and structures of her debut. Which considering its respective merits alongside the best tracks showcased here on Anxiety, isn't necessarily a bad thing per se. But apart from the aforementioned 'Blue Eyes', you do struggle to identify any obvious hit single present among the ten (good as they are) tracks here that you can see advancing Ladyhawke's standing in the present musical social order.
But then again, do you dare to go about the risky business of transforming your sound dramatically and potentially alienating your core supporters? It's a dilemma that Pip hasn't fully resolved within herself or her music yet: in the words of opener 'Girl Like Me', she remains somewhat "between the devil and the deep blue sea". For now, that place is certainly pleasant (if somewhat twisted and stormy) destination to visit for a time. But in terms of a more permanent habitation, you're still looking for that little bit more; that sheer bloody-minded, blueprints-to-the-wind mentalism that mutates good electronic pop music into great and would surely afford the best opportunity of realising her undoubted talent.
Ultimately, for all its merits and charms, it's unlikely that Anxiety will draw in too many people who weren't smitten the first time around. But in its more luminous moments, it also contains enough to suggest that there is still a great album lurking somewhere underneath the Ladyhawke moniker. Time will tell.

It is indeed an effort and a task to pray the 15th raat washeq: to stand straight and focus on 'ibaadat for so long. The washeq is a manifestation of the effort required to stand firm in the walaayat and taa'at of Awliyaa'ullah and their Hudood.
On the occasion of Urus we are pleased to present this biographical article on Maulatuna Hurratul Malika. The article is written by Shz.

Editing videos always seems like such a mammoth task to me, because it's something I've not really done before. I've been putting it off and have video footage sitting waiting, but something else always come up.
Well I decided to just go for it and give it a go. I started with the video introducing the Guinea Pigs and then went straight into this one. I LOVED IT!! It's just like creating another piece of artwork as you play with it, piece it together and mould it just how you like it. I even contacted Trace Bundy and asked if I could use his music in my videos. I didn't even think he would reply but because this is what I listen to when I paint – I thought it would be nice for you to hear that too. He did reply – and said yes!! I'm off to see him in September LIVE! Can't wait.
So… getting off the point really (no change there then – oh shiny thing!) here is my first edited art video. I wanted to show you how to use "Altered Text" in a journal page.. Just in case you don't know "Altered Text" is where you use either a magazine page, page from a book, photocopy of a page etc… and you then find your own statement within that sheet of paper among the words… instead of you cutting out words and sticking them on in the order and sentiment you want – you have to search and let the page speak to you…
I really hope you enjoy it – and that it inspires you to give it a go! Also let me know what you think.. it's always good to get some feedback – even if it is just a "HIYA!!!!" – otherwise it's a bit of a lonely place, (and people think I'm strange when I leave the house because I've not had any adult interaction for a while… very strange!) 😀 This page was actually started late at night – then I left it and went to bed. I then had one of those days – one where I think I experience every single emotion all before 12pm. Joy, pride, excitement, sorrow, understanding, empathy, deep sadness, anger, rage then peace. It was a very busy morning. I felt overwhelmed and thought I was going to spiral into despair at the overload… so I picked up my journal and just did. This is the result. I wasn't thinking of the art.. just getting out of my own head.
There will be plenty more where this came from! Take care!
Hearts, hugs and giggles..

Angela Corey subject of George Zimmerman's newest painting
Zimmerman's brother tweets special prosecutor painting
George Zimmerman has a new painting for sale, according to his brother, and the subject of it is one of the prosecutors in his murder trial.
Robert Zimmerman Jr. posted a picture on Twitter on Wednesday of his brother's painting, which depicts the special prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin trial--Angela Corey.
"Very proud to introduce @TherealGeorgeZ's latest ... "Angie"." Robert Zimmerman said in the tweet.
Sale information and details will be available on Thursday, he continued.
Robert Zimmerman Jr. told WKMG-TV, "The painting is dedicated to Ronald Thompson who is serving what is in effect almost certainly a life sentence due to his advanced age and deteriorating health."
The station reached out to Corey's office for comment, but has not yet heard back.
George Zimmerman's last painting, depicting a U.S. flag in shades of blue with the words "God, One Nation, with Liberty and Justice for All," sold on eBay for $100,099.99 last month.
George Zimmerman was acquitted in July 2013 of second-degree murder in the 2012 shooting death of Martin.
