WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Thursday,federal contract workers at McDonald's in the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum walked off their jobs. They then rallied outside the museum, calling for President Obama to sign an executive order ensuring companies doing business with the federal government pay a livable wage.
Their efforts arepart of a 100-city strike regarding living wages.
The strike marks the first time Good Jobs Nation workers have joined the fast-food workers strikes.
"While McDonald's rakes in tons of money from its contract with the federal government, I have to walk to work because I can't even afford the bus fare," said Alexis Vasquez, a striking federal contract worker at the McDonald's inside the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in a press release."The President says he wants to reduce inequality and create good jobs - he should start by paying the two million federally-contracted workers like me a decent wage."
Federally contracted Union Station, Smithsonian Museum, and Ronald Reagan Building workers have gone on strike five times since May. Ronald Reagan workers alsofiled a formal complaint with the Department of Labor alleging wage theft, including wages below the minimum wage and forcing workers to put in well over 40 hours per week without overtime pay. The Labor Department opened an investigation into wage theft.

Sickening, beyond words. Who are these monsters that do this to these horses? Names would be nice. Time they were held accountable for their abuse. I cannot bring myself to watch the video, knowing I will lose my stomach. I am sobbing just reading the story.
~~~~~I understand the feeling. The reality of it is that it is part of the cycle of nature that animals eat other animals. And humans are part of that animal cycle. And horses are prey animals – translated that means they are food. Temple Grandin has spent her life's work to make it as humanley possible in the treatment of those animals destine for human consumption. While I have nothing against the concept of horse meat for humans (or dogs or cats), I do have issues with how the animals are treated, be they horse or cow or chicken or sheep, or lambs or calves. Horses and dogs and cats are special to us in the western civilaztion – to look into the eyes of an animal as soulful as a horse and to not treat it with love……it must be difficult.

This post is part of a series by Robert Munson called North America's Train Stations: What Makes Them Sustainable – or Not? See the series introduction for more.
Photo by the author to celebrate GCT's 100th anniversary
In today's tale, Grand Central Terminal is The Beauty. Admired also for her goodness, she touches souls in ways most civic buildings cannot. Many souls, such as this author, find her exquisite. So when our mid-Century trend of destroying beautiful buildings put GCT on the demolition list, the public's stored-up admiration stopped her assailants. And this inspired a preservation movement across the nation. Better yet, her Beauty also runs deep with a brilliant design that faithfully works 100 years later; distributing people better and seemingly with social graces that other hubs can only wonder how she does it.
However, our storyline has a dark side. For the past century, suburban passengers — who prefer her east-side location — have been forced to ride past her to the west-side Penn Station; often adding 30 minutes to the daily commute and congesting Midtown surface traffic further.
Who would conspire this denial? As in our tale, it is Beauty's mean sisters who run the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the Long Island Railroad. And like Beauty's sisters, these bureaucracies seemingly are statues who — to have life again and solve this problem — merely had to admit their mistakes.

Of course, today's Penn Station is The Beast. Its ugliness is visceral and personal; defying description. Most who enter its maw sense what true ugliness does; instinctually aware of the cramped quarters and negative energy generated by masses of irritated humans. To manage their discomfort, most learn how to get out as quickly as possible. It is hard to imagine how this guy can become Beauty's Prince.
The fable's richest lesson tells us that transformation only happens if one changes one's ways. Today's real life Beast cannot transform because the governments of New Jersey and New York have self-interested priorities; unconcerned with the collaboration required for the region to benefit from sustainable solutions. Yet, some agent of the public must have the authority to bring transit into the next era.The consequences of not creating suitable authority are immediate and darken the mid-term.
As an immediate (and recurring) problem, Midtown has hellish crosstown traffic. Because trains do not connect both stations, too many commuters surface and add unnecessary street congestion. While surface congestion was reduced by making subway trains interconnect six decades ago, that vital lesson still has not been applied to interconnect suburban service.
Similarly a result of ineffective regional authority, through-routing New York suburbanites to New Jersey (and vice versa) will benefit commuters and employers. Yet, this mid-term economic collaboration is a pipedream. Analyzing each station objectively gives us reasoned premises from which to shape solutions. Let's start with Her, the fun one.

Grand Central Terminal: The Beauty As Secular Cement
Score: 81 (see full scorecard)
Category: Likely Sustainables
When GCT was threatened, prominent architect Phillip Johnson joined the civic movement to protect it with this statement: "Europe has its cathedrals and we have Grand Central."
Also active in the movement to save GCT, the prestige lent by Jackie Kennedy Onassis helped revive the glamor of trains as GCT established a national standard that stations could be great again. After the nation's Supreme Court decided in favor of GCT in 1977, the preservation movement had an icon and the law to grow its success.
More inspiring and exhilarating than the finest 21st Century airports (yet without the technological building advances of the past 80 years), it is hard to understand how GCT touches the human soul while smoothly handling its daily flurry of 1 million people hurriedly going places. As a museum piece, elegant shopping mall and transit's single most efficient infrastructure piece, GCT's magic is completed by generating constant fascination; serving as the sixth most visited tourist attraction with 21,600,000 visitors annually.
Grand Central sets this standard for every station: to serve as a complete destination, somewhere for tourist and commuter alike to benefit and enjoy travel again.
Now celebrating its 100th year, GCT's excellent design remains an engineering marvel; flexible enough to accommodate ten times more people today than when it was completed at the start of World War One.

Excellence starts in the basement with gates to the tracks that are welcoming, elegant and functional; all promising a pleasant commute. To accommodate rush hour traffic, platforms are wide; certainly the widest I've seen for a large terminus. Since platforms easily become choke-points as ridership grows, this shows GCT's capacity to adapt.

Also adding to more fluid flow, ramps move people between the main, dining and lower concourses. The walk is far more spacious and pleasant than the usual cramped escalators… and wondrously less expensive to maintain or make handicap accessible.
Great design also helps GCT fulfill retail's formula of location, location, location. Accommodating a variety of retail shops, GCT is unmatched perhaps anywhere; possibly except Tokyo hubs that have Macys-like department stores. But no where are shopping choices more elegantly arranged than GCT. Ranging from a cool Apple Store to upscale specialty boutiques to even a store for the New York Transit Museum to fascinate the inner subway rider of people like this author. And the shopping tour is not complete without a visit to the vast Grand Central Market (below) that ranks near the top of anyone's list of gourmet cornucopias.

Unlike any station in the western world, GCT's 40 stores for shopping exceeds the 36 for dining. GCT's Dining Concourse and famed Oyster Bar plus the upper level lounges and dining rooms all combine to rival any station on the planet for quality. Also unlike the fast food dominance of other stations, GCT finds ways to offer a more healthful "grab 'n go." (GCT's leasing decisions should be compared to Penn Station's whose criteria seem to heavily favor impulse-buy foods that are fattening and, generally, lack intrinsic nutritional value; all consistent with the quality of Penn's public service.)
Shifting from destination-making-made-easier to the general genius of Grand Central's original design, its long-term value must be compared to today's addition when the government builds stations. Here is the MTA's schematic for the East Side Access project.
It will take a century to correct the obvious mistake of bringing all LIRR passengers to Penn Station and their surfacing and over-crowding Manhattan's streets for the last leg of a commute. But, government finally is making progress. This MTA project will bring about 20% of weekday LIRR passengers into GCT. As the immediate area redevelops under new zoning laws, the influx of new pedestrians and taxi-users probably will compound today's congestion; in some ways, defeating the purpose of the East Side Access… and causing its expense, in the judgment of history, to eventually appear as unproductive.
I offer two items as a half-time critique of the East Side Access.
First, ridiculous cost-overruns clearly make the MTA inappropriate to direct future improvements. This project to serve the public is starting to look more like a perversion of tax dollars. The 1999 federal budget had the price at $2.2 billion. Functioning as a slow motion lure that promises the public a solution, it took eight long eight years until ground-breaking; creating lots of opportunities for the politically connected to get their piece of the public's treasury and for bureaucratic battles to work their woe.
By the time digging started, the project cost almost tripled to $6.4B and completion was projected to end this year. Now in 2013, completion has been bumped to 2019 and tagged at $8.4B, a 382% increase since politics got involved. With a performance like this, intuition tells me that we have not seen the end of this fiscal travesty.
There are acceptable explanations for some cost-overruns. But, there are no excuses as far as the taxpayers' bottom-line is concerned. If the MTA cannot protect its funding source, the MTA should be replaced with an authority that has a core financial discipline.
If there is to be any accountability moving forward to complete the East Side Access or any current MTA project (or any future project such as remaking Penn Station), the accountability process should start this year with inspector generals of New York City, New York State, Connecticut and, possibly, the federal government making an expanded report. Better yet, a joint report will help taxpayers understand what has happened to their money and suggest ways to help restore the public's trust.
It will be curious to see if reports indicate the lack of cooperation between MTA subsidiaries (LIRR and Metro-North) led to these ridiculous cost-over-runs. For example, why did the LIRR platforms have to go 91 feet under Metro-North's?
As a separate item, how are these cost-overruns related to the shared tunnel on 63rd Street ? (See map below.) Didn't that two decade construction project — starting in 1969 — also end in a fiasco in which it wasn't useful until the 21st Century when subway connections were made ?
From this tunnel fiasco that so far spans half a century, what are the lessons from this overall lack of authority so that taxpayers can be protected in the future?
And in the Big Picture, would a through-routing strategy have made a lot of these costs unnecessary and still improve the chances to achieve the objective of reducing congestion?
But alas, all this money does not contribute to the strategic solution of through-routing. (Don't forget, the "marriage" in this piece's title refers, in part, to the sustainable benefits of through-routing.) Future capacity of Penn and Grand Central can be increased by trains running through it. Yet, the East Side Access project terminates these LIRR trains along with GCT's 67+ other tracks. The future needs through-routes to contribute to sustainable regional solutions.

Easier to grasp than this mind-boggling waste of tax dollars, my second criticism starts more micro. The East Side addition is too far below the standard of GCT's elegant design; largely resulting from an inability to reconcile differing systems. While more passengers will be able to enjoy GCT (an improvement over Penn's discomfort), they first get pinched (as in the red pressure points above.) There appears to be a poorly designed exit from the the East Side Access into GCT's lower level concourse.
There is an even more serious constriction of customers seeking to transfer to the subway, the primary solution to Midtown's street congestion. MTA also supposedly has authority to manage the subways. (On page 51 of the Foster proposal's link above, a solution is offered; but, of course, the MTA has no money given its cost-overruns.)
So, we see yet again the weakness of MTA's authority upon entering the subway system. Lines 4 and 5 (in the lower right corner) already are the nation's most over-burdened. The ESA will bring some 12,000 more riders from the LIRR. And if the MTA plans to relieve this congestion by finishing the 2nd Avenue subway one long block away, I remind everyone that the Elevated was torn down and used as scrap in the war against facism… and east-side Manhattan riders have been waiting ever since.
Back to belief in today, these problematic transit connections are reviewed starting on page 31 of a study released for GCT's 100th anniversary, A Bold Vision for Midtown. Prepared by the Municipal Arts Society, MAS has served as the primary civic organization and Guardian Angel throughout Beauty's life. Opening yet another chapter of great public service, this excellent 65-page publication analyzes GCT. Particular attention is paid to public spaces and mobility within its original surrounds that sprung up in the 1920s. Known as the Terminal City, it remains NYC's best contribution to the City Beautiful movement. Terminal City also is the original application of the "value capture" concept being talked about by cities today. For a relevant primer on value capture, refer to this 2012 post in "Urbanophile." And for a longer discussion, see this recent post.
Using the rezoning of GCT's surrounds, "Bold Vision" turns the coming redevelopment into an opportunity to evolve East Midtown. (The booklet also is a bit of a pre-emptive strike to prevent the surrounds from further reducing Beauty's prominence.) I certainly hope MAS successfully guides and monitors deals between developers and City planning agencies to improve public spaces, streets and sidewalks to cope better with Midtown's congestion.
But, all of these real estate updates beg several questions. First of all, why focus municipal attention on a center that, on a relative basis, works pretty well now? Instead, shouldn't all these plans of increasing density be preceded by solving the congestion caused when commuters surface to get to their destinations?
And given that the MTA will be ridiculously over-budget and decades late in getting the LIRR to stop at GCT, should it be the agency to through-route GCT's trains? Through-routing makes several contributions to regional sustainability. For GCT to advance in that direction, some lines need to go through.
Photo taken by author while riding the Lexington Ave subway
It is not my intent to challenge MTA's competence. Per the photo above as an example of many improved efforts to serve the public, MTA is trying. (And relative to Chicagoland's agencies, MTA gets an "A".) But, here is the real question: is MTA the correct agent to solve problems economically?
Here also follow bigger questions for the sustainable era; most are so far beyond MTA's purview that a true authority will be needed if the future is to look better than today.
But….. As beautiful as GCT is and as positive as the MAS influence on land use agencies and developers seems to be, how does remaking a 21st Century Terminal City fit into a strategy for regional redevelopment? Offering the more objective perspective of someone who lives in the nation's second densest city, I ask: isn't Manhattan's problem really that it has too many people? Don't Midtown's insanely high land costs drive even more density that we currently cannot afford infrastructure for?
Let's face the Big Picture. Manhattan bound trains serve its CBDs, but also congest these districts. Terminating commuter lines merely compounds connections to other transit and, thereby, raises the cost for everyone.
If our governments cannot follow a de-congestion strategy such as through-routing that European cities solve almost as a matter of course, then how can current agencies ever guide something as complex as the much talked-about goal of economically rational regional redevelopment? Fundamental to our economic competitiveness, this topic is explored in later articles. But for now, truly sustainable stations — of which GCT could lead the way — must also contribute to systems that guide rational redevelopment.
To end where we began our story….. In my personal opinion, The Beauty is doing just fine. She can age more gracefully with better streets and sidewalks. But giving her implants in the form of bigger buildings will just make her sag… or at least cause her to lose her shape… if you don't mind my metaphor.
As for marrying her off to a Beast… we have to believe in miracles. Specifically, New York must try through-routing and other transit connection methods to relieve congestion… or else the marriage fails to improve the household's economics. These methods are explored in the remake of Penn Station… the next article in this series on how stations can support truly sustainable transit.

David Mamet spoofs the White House in 'November'
2008 Broadway play makes its L.A. debut at the Taper
October hasn't even begun, but "November" is here already. Get used to it.
The David Mamet play, which bowed on Broadway just as the primary season was beginning in the 2008 presidential election, could well become a theatrical staple during election years. It's onstage now at the Mark Taper Forum, where it's making its Los Angeles debut.
The piece broadly spoofs American politics — in particular the race for the White House — and that makes it perfect fodder for this once-every-four-years season when the country is up to its ears in polls and politicking. There never seems to be a shortage of anger directed at the White House, no matter who is in office, so a play ruffling political feathers should never go out of style.
In Mamet's "November," political correctness runs amok as an unpopular president desperately tries to get re-elected. Ed Begley Jr. stars as the president, Felicity Huffman plays his speechwriter and Rod McLachlan portrays his chief of staff.
"November" doesn't throb with anger like "Glengarry Glen Ross," Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. It's more of a broad comedy, which isn't what people usually expect from him. USA Today called the play a "breezy and ultimately tame" satire.
McLachlan loves the fact that he's getting to act in one of Mamet's lighter works.
"I always enjoy comedies," McLachlan said, "and to do one that has the tremendous technical demands of Mamet is the best of all possible worlds."
Mamet's plays are packed with his distinctive brand of rapid-fire dialogue. The style is catnip to his fans, but often a turnoff to others. But "November" is a bit different. Ben Brantley, writing in The New York Times, called "November" a "David Mamet play for people who don't like David Mamet."
Scott Zigler, who has directed several Mamet works, is helming the Ahmanson production. He thinks audiences and critics get too caught up in what constitutes a Mamet play.
"I read a review once. I can't remember who wrote it or even what play was about, but the critic wrote something like, 'This would be a good play if it wasn't written by David Mamet,' " Zigler said.
In contrast, the director said, some people won't like a Mamet work if it doesn't have the sound or the feel they have come to expect.
"But that's what is great about a living playwright," Zigler said. "They can change a great deal over the years. It's fun to see what they come up with next."
To Zigler, Mamet is more than a playwright. When they first met, Zigler was a young student who trained with Mamet and actor William H. Macy. When he first directed a Mamet play, "The Woods," which starred Huffman, who also was a student, both were nervous.
"That hasn't changed," Zigler said. "There's still trepidation. But over the years he has influenced the way I direct. I try to direct as clearly and directly as possible. There's a minimalist approach to my directing."
Despite his expertise, Zigler doesn't believe there are actors or directors who specialize in the Mamet style. "I think it's more a matter of having done a lot of Mamet than (being) suited for it," he said. "The same can be said for actors who have done a lot of August Wilson plays."
Since Zigler and Huffman are both Mamet veterans, there exists between a shorthand that saves time and energy. At times, Zigler said, he only needs to look or to motion at Huffman to suggest to the actress that she try something different.
Whether he is working with Mamet vets or first-timers, Zigler said what's important is not to worry how the play is labeled, or who wrote it.
"Instead you find the genre in each moment," he said.
Still, Zigler and McLachlan are expecting big laughs for "November."
"We didn't know until we got into rehearsal that it's still really topical," McLachlan said. "What's going on in the play regarding politics is even more true today than it was four years ago."

Did you know that the most expensive movie flop in the history is Cutthroat Island (from 1995), total cost was $115.000.000 but it only earned back around $18.500.000!

Talk about wasting money! I'm still gonna watch this movie online though ;)
Did you know that the movie Paranormal Activity only cost $15.000 to create but generated an huge $197.000.000 of gross revenue! Talk about good investment! I don't like horror movies so I haven't seen any of them (there are five)
Big news! It has just been announced that in June 2015 the first movie in a new TERMINATOR trilogy will be released! This is specially awesome since Arnold Schwarzenegger will have a part in it!

Pennsylvania-based power company PPL is promoting a pair of webinars aimed at helping small business owners reduce their energy consumption.
The webinars will give business owners information on the utility company's various e-power programs that can help them reduce their electric bills, such as system tune-ups and rebates for those who buy energy-efficient equipment. The programs will also include time for company officials to take questions.
"Customers can pick from one of two dates and get valuable information without having to leave their offices. This is a virtual town meeting of sorts on energy efficiency. We're excited to be able to offer it," said Ray W. Murphy, manager of Major Accounts for PPL Electric Utilities.
The Morning Call reports that 80 businesses have already signed up for the first webinar.
PPL's e-power program offers energy-saving rebates and tips for businesses, industrial facilities and households. In addition to appliance rebates and other standard programs, customers can also get money back if they repair an inefficient heating or cooling system or change a manufacturing process to reduce energy consumption.

We can vigorously defend your rights! Get the help you deserve.
Have you been arrested for drunk driving in Westchester County or a surrounding
area? If you have been charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI), you
are facing serious penalties that can impact your life for years. Having
a proven DWI defense lawyer on your side will dramatically reduce the
probability that you will face serious legal consequences such as:
The DWI attorneys at
Riebling, Proto & Sachs, LLP can provide you with a personalized legal defense to vigorously defend
and protect your rights. We will help you understand the drunk driving
license implications throughout the pendency of your case and what effect
a DWI conviction will have on your
driver's license.
Our DWI lawyers make the following commitments to their clients
A Cup of Coffee with 10 of the Top DUI Attorneys in the United States
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)
Misdemeanor vs. Felony DWI
Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) by Alcohol
Driving While Ability Impaired
by Drugs
Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated
Driving While Ability Impaired by Drugs & Alcohol
The Child Passenger Protection Act or "Leandra's Law" provides
stiff prison penalties for someone convicted of a DWI when a child under
age 16 is in a car at the time of the offense. If a child passenger was
injured or killed because the driver was intoxicated or impaired by drugs,
the driver may face 15-25 years in prison. Leandra's Law made New
York's consequences for drunk driving among the strictest in the nation.
Hundreds of Westchester County residents have been arrested under the
law, and it is vitally important that you contact our experienced DWI
defense lawyers to ensure that you are protected against these consequences.
Under Leandra's Law, all drivers with any DWI conviction are required
to use ignition interlock devices for at least six months. The devices
are mandatory even for first-time offenders, and also even if no child
was a passenger in the car.
Drivers must pay for the ignition interlock device installation and maintenance
An ignition interlock device is a breathalyzer instrument installed in
a vehicle. In order to start the car, the driver must breathe into the
device and provide a breath sample. The car will not start if alcohol
is detected. According to the New York State Department of Criminal Justice
Services (DCJS), installation of an interlock device costs between $75
and $100, and there also is a monthly fee that ranges from $70 to $100.
For more information about how a DWI charge affects your license, please visit the
Driver's License Implication section of this website for information about driver's license suspension
and revocation. In Westchester County, NY, the installation and monitoring
of this device is done by the Westchester County Department of Probation.

& Sachs, LLP have successfully handled countless DWI/DWAI cases throughout
Westchester County and surrounding counties. Our Westchester County DWI
attorneys are former prosecutors who are now dedicated to your defense.

Wafer Watch -- or, The Faithful Citizenship Coloring Book
By Diogenes (bio - articles ) | Apr 16, 2004
Ellen Goodman gives a synopsis of her monograph on Ecclesia de Eucharistia:
What next? Will we have a political reporter to cover John Forbes Kerry at each Sunday Mass from now to November? Will there be a Holy Communion beat? A wafer watch?
Dismissing concerns over political exploitation of the Eucharist as a "wafer watch" is clearly a great leap forward in inter-religious understanding. A prominent Catholic voice for dialogue concurs:
The whole thing, fumed Frances Kissling of Catholics for a Free Choice, turned us into a nation of "eucharistic Peeping Toms."Lest we forget, Ellen reminds us that we're sexist as well as stupid:
Twenty years ago, the bishops were annoyed by Mario Cuomo and apoplectic at Geraldine Ferraro when she spoke as a Catholic, a vice presidential candidate, and a woman. "I'm a weekly communicant," she says, remembering 1984. "But I have to tell you, every time I went up to the altar I was in a little bit of a panic about who might give you Communion and who might refuse."
Because she spoke as a woman.
By putting Kerry on wafer watch, conservatives in the church are running the Kennedy tape backward. Ferraro reminds them: "Kerry's not running for pope. He's running for president."
Moral: Miss Goodman believes in a caring God.

If a person cannot honor the committment that they make at their Confirmation-- to live as a Catholic who follows the laws of the Church they profess to believe in as the true faith, and by their actions show disrespect and distain for that religion, why should I belive that they would follow the laws of the country they swore allegience to by the oath of office of President of the US?

Even non-Catholic's concerned with good government should have reservations about voting for Kerry and many other Catholic politicians. The falsifying of one area of life in order to accommodate another shows a lack of integrity. It indicates a tendency to make decisions based on self-interest rather than the common good.

Goodman's irritation is chronic but always encouraging. Her stern, school-marmish discription of doctrinal vigilance regarding Kerry's sacramental participation is that it is "unseemly". This gaggle of feminist relics (Goodman, Kissling, Ferraro, et al.) have basked long enough in the glow of liberation tripe cooked up thirty years ago. Wake up, girls, and smell the papal latte -- to go with your wafers, of course.

In a wonderful bit of irony, Goodman's last words in her column concern her take on how the Lord will judge Kerry on the last day. Unintentionally echoing what many of us, fed up with the leftist media, have thought for years, Goodman says, "When that day comes, no reporters will be around to witness it." [my paraphrase] I think you're right, Ellen -- all the reporters will be safely held elsewhere.

Sorry that we view our candidates under a microscope, but a person's actions in one critical area of his life reveal much about his true values. If Senator Kerry is too stupid, too slick, or too cynical to not comprehend that he is abusing his faith in the Church, then can one trust him not to act the same way on important secular issues. I would not vote for an orthodox Jew who ate BLTs either.

Intro to Digital Audio
About Audio
Digital Audio and video are pretty similar things. Capturing (digitizing), editing, timelines, codecs are the same principles. Audio does take up less room than video and requires less PC power as well. Video is more powerful as a communication device, and therefore gets a little more press.
Best intros I know... www.mediacollege.com/audio/01/index.html & Digital Audio Primer from www.adobe.com/motion/primers.html
Some other nice links are:
- www.indiana.edu/%7Eemusic/etext/digital_audio/chapter5_digital.shtml
- www.teamcombooks.com/mp3handbook/11.htm
- audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/index.html
Understanding Sound
There are a few things that you need to know about sound to understand how it works. First, sound is created by vibrations that move air molocules, forcing these molocules together to create a higher pressure, and travel like this in waves.
dev.physicslab.org - WavesSound_IntroSound.xml
The 4 main parts of (analog) sound
- Wavelength - how long between two points with the same degree of phase
- Amplitude - reflects the change in pressure from the peak of the waveform to the trough. How high/low the waveform is.
- Cycle or Period - the amount of time it takes for a waveform to go from applitude peak to peak... .
- Frequency - the number of cycles per second, 1,000 Hz = 1,000 cycles per second.
How sound waves Interact
When different waves collide (e.g. sound from different sources) they interfere with each other. This is called, unsurprisingly, wave interference. When waveforms are in phase with each other they add together, when 180 degree out of phase they cancel each other out, otherwise they create new complex wave patterns.
Digital Sound
Dgital sound works in a different way because, well, it is digital. All microphones capture audio in an analog way... by coverting pressure waves into voltage. In analog media (like tapes) these voltage changes were transfered to tape as magnetic changes. With digital sound, they have to be digitized or sampled.
3 Main digital processes that affect quality
- Sampling Rate (frequency resolution) - How often a sample of sound is turned into numbers. The higher the rate, the closer the digital sample can match the shape of the original analog curve. To be a decent sample, the rate must be at least twice the speed of the frequency of the sound.
- Bit Depth (amplitude resolution) - How much storage will be used for each sample. 1 bit can only keep track of the sound being on or off... while 32 bit can do much, much more.
- Compression (lossless/lossy) - also a function of the format and codec used - Once a sound is sampled, it must be saved to the computer. Usually, the uncompressed sound (like a .WAV) is really large, so it is compressed with a codec. The compression can be either lossless (not losing any quality) or lossy (losing quality). Almost all are lossy.
Categories of Audio
First off... when you need to use audio for a project, there are a few different catagories of audio you can deal with:
- Music - all different types
- Voice-overs - just voice alone. Usually added with music
- Sound Effects - doors shutting, bangs, pops... etc. Often cheeeeeeeezy!
- Loops - short snippets of music that you loop together with ACID or Garage Band
- MIDI - Musical Instrument Digital Interface - original music form on the computer
I guess you know what music is... so I'll go on.
Everyone has heard a voice-over before... whether it's cheezy radio commercials, books on tape, corporate videos, or the commercial for the latest Hollywood movie with the guy that has that really low and spooky voice. Voice-overs can be down as stand-alone audio, or combined with music, other voices, or even animated characters. Fun to do, but
Sound Effects
One tricky type of audio to use is sound effects. They can be encredible, and can add lots of ambiance, or depth to your projects.... or they can ruin them altogether! So many sound effects are cheeezzzzy. To take some for a test drive, check out the site: www.simplythebest.net/sounds/ On these sites you will find some sound effects... but also real music too.
Looping Music
Another type of music you may need is loops. Loop music creation is one of the newer trends in audio production. It started years ago, but become popular with the introduction of ACID a number of years back. Loop music sometimes has a distinctive sound, but after playing with the software, you can see how easy it is to generate pretty cool, complex and fun soundtracks.How To Make Free and Legal Soundtracks For YouTube Videos." What is SOOOO COOL is that the music is created on the www.splicemusic.com website.. you don't even have to download software!!!
Midi Audio
Last audio type you should know about use are MIDI files. The original audio format for the the computer (and the web). It's days are numbered. It's mathematical music in a way... and results in very small files. All you need to know is the what note it is, the length of the note, and the digital instrument to play it with, and there you have music. Some MIDI files are really amazing... but most on websites are really bad, and sound very dated. So... use at your own risk. They have many sites on the internet for midi files, but you can find some at www.simplythebest.net/sounds/ too.
Getting Audio onto your pc
Once you have the need for audio, you have the need for getting it on your pc. There are a few ways...
- Downloading
- Capturing (sampling/digitizing) from a source like a tape
- Converting from a cdrom (ripping) Note: A lot of people know how to stick a cd in their pc and use either iTunes or Windows Media Player to "rip" music off a cdrom and onto their pc (often into the "My Music" folder). Important thing to know for Microsoft users is that the default .wma file format is NOT compatible with most audio/video editors. The sound must usually be in WAV, AIFF, or MP3 formats to be used in various applications. You CAN set WMP to rip to the .mp3 format.
Downloading music
You may also download music from lots of different sites. There is only one that I know of where you can get really top notch royalty-free music for soundtracks for FREE. www.freeplaymusic.com Important thing about this site is that they have music available in all sorts of genres, and lengths. You can download a version of the same song from 10secs (for quick commercials) up to ~2mins (as soundtracks). This is a very common thing for professional music.
Another nice site for music is... www.newgrounds.com/audio and even better... www.megatune.com... creative commons music.
A somewhat inexpensive pc microphone can do a decent job sometimes, but for really good quality, you have to have really good equipment. A really good mic can cost hundreds! If you recorded the voice to tape, you will need to play the tape (or DAT) and have the signal go into your sound card. Then use softwaree like Audacity or even Premiere to record the audio. Once you have it one the pc, you can edit to your heart's content.
Ripping Audio
Be careful with this. Make sure you have rights to use the files, even though for PURELY educational projects you are protected somewhat under the "fair Use" policy. To Rip music off your cdrom to WAV or MP3, use Windows Media Player or iTunes, or try a utility such as www.audiograbber.com-us.net/ or www.mgshareware.com/frmmain.shtml or... one of the other 1000+ rippers out there.
Compressing Audio
Just like video is compressed so that it doesn't take up as much room, audio is also compressed so that it is smaller. Problems arise when the sound is compressed so much that you start to lose quality and fidelity.
File Formats and Codecs (compressor/decompressor) are used to make the sounds smaller. Some of the most common are Windows Audio wav, mp3, mp4, m4a, Windows Media Audio (wma), Ogg Vorbis (ogg), Monkeys Audio (ma), flac, Apple's Advanced Audio Codec (aac) and many others.
Converting Audio
If you save out a WAV sound the file can be pretty large. I prefer to compress my audio with the Free Mp3 Wma Converter from koyotstar.free.fr/indexEn.html. Great software and very easy to use. Just drag the file into the "Files to convert" window where it will be listed, change the "Output configuration" settings, and Convert! Easy!
Almost all audio editors also have the ability to save or export audio in different formats and codecs.

Eye on ICT Blog
e-Waste Guidelines - Good news for a bad situation
Kenya's recently published guidelines for e-waste management tell us that increased use of technology especially in ICT, low initial cost, and unplanned obsolescence of electrical and electronic equipment has led to an e-waste generation problem for Kenya. The guidelines have been developed by the Ministry for Natural Resources and Minerals and the National Environment Management Agency with GESCI and other partners, with the strategic objective of providing a framework for the development of regulations and policies in Kenya that it is hoped will help to stymie the deluge of e-waste that is finding its way to landfills and dumpsites all over Kenya. In a country afflicted with many other pressing problems such as growing youth unemployment, a refugee crisis in the North East, and an estimated 1.5 million strong aids epidemic, how does the e-waste problem compare? Well, UNEP estimates the current e-waste generated annually in Kenya at 11,400 tonnes from refrigerators, 2,800 tonnes from TVs, 2,500 tonnes from personal computers, 500 tonnes from printers and 150 tonnes from mobile phones (Press Release UNEP, 2010). This high rate of accumulation of ewaste stems not only from the rapid pace of emerging technologies but also from e-waste disposal by developed countries in the form of used electronic equipment with short life-spans. I took the most modest tonnage of e-waste on the list and thought about what that might look like. After some web-scouring I found this image of 105 tonnes of seized marijuana to give me an idea of the scale of the problem in visual, if not visceral terms.

Kenya Daily Nation special report on GESCI & Government Skills Development Survey
The Kenya Daily Nation published a 'Special Report' today, July 6th, on the TIVET baseline survey produced by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science and Technology and GESCI. The full article can be found on the GESCI site – http://www.gesci.org/technical-vocational-education-training.html. It's little wonder that TIVET and youth skills and development are grabbing headlines. A determined government wishes to transform Kenya into a middle-income economy by 2030. They need a skilled workforce to master that transformation, and Technical and Vocational Education and Training institutions are part of the answer. The African Union concur, concluding at their summit last week that the AU and its partners should elaborate a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) framework, addressing specifically the domains of Agriculture and ICT, while accelerating the implementation of the Youth Decade Plan of Action. With a growing continental focus on youth empowerment driven by the African Union, Ministries of Education, Training, and Science Technology and a large body of European donors encouraging Knowledge Society development, GESCI can expect ongoing coverage of ICT and Skills Development from national, regional and continental media outlets.

Duncan unfazed by Kotoko assignment
New Hearts of Oak coach David Duncan says he is ready for Sunday's Ghana Premier League derby against Kotoko.
The former Ghana U23 coach was installed on Tuesday and has very little time to work on his players for the biggest league clash.
Duncan has confirmed he will be on the bench at the Baba Yara Stadium and pundits believe faces one of his difficult tasks.
But the former AshantiGold coach is positive he can raise a team to put up a good display.
"The opposition is the same, having handled clubs like Olympics, Hasaacas and AshGold against the same side over the years," Duncan said.
"The only difference is I am now working with entire new personnel which I hope to settle with soon."
Hearts have lost one of their last three league matches and lie 12th on the log sheet.

"Why Louis CK doesn't buy phones for his Children."{Video}
"Louis C.K.'s Girls Can't Have Cell Phones."
Amazing for a comedian to talk about that nervousness and fear and sadness and then true joy—in a way folks can hear and enjoy.
"We are threatened by the now so we jump to the past or the future." ~ Chogyam Trungpa
I'm starting to think Louis CK is just straight up Buddhist. Chogyam Trungpa (his meditation instruction, linked below under "appreciate") has talked about all of this eloquently: how our everyday nervousness masks fear, and is masked in turn by speediness, a lack of human connection, an inability to do nothing, fully, and just be human. if we can be present, and let hot boredom relax to cool boredom, we feel "the genuine heart of sadness." And from that, we can begin to finally, truly, fully, madly, deeply appreciate our life. And from that, we can smile.
As my favorite Buddhist quote goes, if we can feel sadness and pain of suffering and at the same time the vision and brilliance of fundamental goodness, we can live life properly (to paraphrase, actual quote here).
Speediness, which leads to lack of caring about small and large things, both, and lack of kindness to ourselves and others, and aggression.
Solution: whenever we have a gap of boringness, enjoy it instead of filling it, and we'll soon get through the hot boredom to what Trungpa Rinpoche called "cool boredom"–boredom that is relaxing, pleasant.
Or, as Louis CK described it…

Genius! Thank god we have these light figures and modern (or cursing) Buddhists if you want so around. Thanks for a link which I could open here in Turkey too.
Thanks for sharing. I'd post to my FB page but the image choices I'm given don't match the video.
if we take this seriously..
According to World Health Organization mobile phone radiation is more dangerous for children than for adults.
I would recommend the free application called "Talk Intact".

Soli Deo Gloria is being launched by the Turning Pointe School of Dance in Holland. It will begin its first season this fall.
Turning Pointe's artistic director, Lara Faucher, said the Soli Deo Gloria dancers are professional artists, but they primarily see themselves as missionaries who want to see hurting people refreshed.
"People can have their physical needs met and still be hurting," Faucher said. "In a world where most things are quantified by money and things, dance as an art has the ability to feed the heart, soul and mind."
Soli Deo Gloria is available for a variety of events. If your organization, school or church is interested in booking or partnering with them, visit turningpointedance.org information.

Making whole meat Jerky at home
100# USDA Choice de-fatted beef steak Slice 1/8" - ¼" thick with the grain
4 ounces of liquid smoke (dilute with 16oz. water).
8 oz. Black Pepper (depending on how hot you want it.)
2.5# Curing salt
Yields about 38# of beef jerky
- Select a good quality beef like USDA Choice grade top round. Another choice would be flat-iron steak or lean skirt steak.
- Remove all the outside fat and gristle.
- Slice it with the grain as thin as possible or less than ¼" thick. (your butcher can do this at the store for you) This is similar to fajita meat.
- Sprinkle with curing salt. (that should be table salt with sodium nitrite)
- Stack slices on top of each other as you salt the top side only.
- Put in container with a raised bottom so the salt water that drains off the meat doesn't set in the liquid. (this could cause the meat on the bottom to get too salty) Let set in the 39 to 32 F refrigerator for 3-5 days.
- Sprinkle with liquid smoke as desired, then sprinkle with black pepper or your favorite seasoning. More pepper just makes it hotter.
- Then cut each slice in 1 to 1½ inch wide strips.
- Lay the slices on a screen leaving the same space between slices as the width of them. You can use a Teflon coated, galvanized or stainless steel ¼" hail screen. If you use a pan, it may not dry as quick or as even.
- Your oven or smoker needs to have a small outlet at the top to have an outlet for the moisture because you will be loosing over 50% of the weight through evaporation.
- Dry for 1 hour at 165 F. and another 6 to 24 hours at 140 F. Yield will vary according to how long you dry it. The thinner the meat the quicker it dries. If you dry it too long, it will snap in two when you bend it.

Most individuals never believe until it occurs to them they'll want a locksmith. You normally just unlock your doorway. Just in case you would like to find out far more about locksmiths or want to rent one, this educational report will give data that's useful to you.
Before you decide to actually demand one, track down a locksmith. Local locksmiths can be found quite easily. Living in Carrollton, GA for example, just look up 24 hour locksmith Carrollton GA in a search engine. You may not have a lot of great alternatives of locksmiths obtainable, need to you just wait until you might have an emergency, like when you forgot your car keys or residence keys. The mystery to the residence could discover your self while in the improper fingers. Earlier mentioned correct is revealed a cylindrical key-in-knob lock. Down below, that is certainly the latch experience within the cylindrical lock, exactly where you can usually discover the model title. Under this part is an indication of a cylindrical key lock variety.
Presently the majority of the individuals driving vehicles experience Lock outs or other related issues for that reason this is an excellent selection to pick this career like a livelihood.

This certificate can assist in also attaining far more trustworthiness of on your work and boosting your gains.
Cylindrical locks are one of the most widespread varieties of locks, but can be challenging to remodel. Inside the celebration you desire to genuine stability, or if this will be the only true lock with your apartment doorway, you could think about just leaving it since a cylindrical lock materials primarily quite little resistance to theft, and installing a deadbolt above it.
The screws that keep within the interior cylinder are most likely hidden, in the event that the lock features a key interior and outside. The most typical manner they could be hidden is with drive-in handles, in other words, screw handles which could be tapped with a hammer into spot. These screw handles are sometimes hard to eliminate with out damaging them. Some double keyed deadbolts have a shutter during which turns if the key that is certainly inside is turned. Holes look which permit the lock to be taken out, when you switch the key right into a distinct volume. Following the lock is taken out, the cylinder will undoubtedly be clearly observable.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - The daughter of a 71-year-old Fort Myers woman shot by sheriff's deputies last week said her mother was "virtually inconsolable" over a personal matter just before the confrontation.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office said Friday that Patricia Mapes - according to her daughter - got some unspecified bad news earlier in the day and may have been suicidal when she threatened deputies with a gun March 23. She was shot and is in critical condition at a hospital.
The News-Press of Fort Myers reports that deputies were called to the residence by Mapes' daughter. They announced their presence before Mapes threatened to shoot them and stood in a doorway pointing a handgun.
Mapes exchanged shots with the deputies and crumpled to the ground. None of the deputies were injured.
