The terms "Simple" and "Enterprise" are rarely spoken in the same breath, but at MobileDay we've learned how to bridge the gaps with our simple enterprise apps and infrastructure. We know first-hand that many enterprise apps can be a headache for users and even worse for IT, so from the beginning we set our sights on building simple enterprise apps that are easy on the end user, trivial for our customers' IT departments to manage, and cost effective for us to maintain while making changes rapidly.
It's not always easy being free
At the core of MobileDay's app strategy is that it's a free app for up to 10 calls per month available for iOS and Android. It syncs with the phone's existing calendar, and enables the user to start dialing into conference calls within seconds. With no purchase required, no separate enterprise version, no registration process or complex configurations, the simplicity of MobileDay probably seems straightforward, but in reality it has taken us a lot of work to accomplish this.
To make this possible, it's necessary to build intelligence into the cloud. We host everything with top-tier vendors like Amazon, MongoLab, and Redis Labs so that our infrastructure "just works" and we can focus on building features and deploying them quickly on a daily or weekly basis. We're obsessed with data so that we learn quickly and accurately from our mistakes as well as successes, capturing real-time app metrics with Localytics and Crittercism, and monitoring our cloud with New Relic, Pingdom, and JumpCloud. Dialing rules are pushed on the fly so that customers can take advantage of them without requiring an app update.
Being able to iterate quickly also enables quick reactions to customer and user feedback. We have a close-knit agile scrum team operating strict two week sprints with the option of multiple cloud and app deployments limited only by the Apple review cycle on the iOS side (typically around a week), and this means that an idea we get on a Wednesday can be planned that Friday, built the following week, tested, submitted, and released the week after. Doing this for a mobile app is great, but doing it for a widely deployed enterprise app is even better and is a welcome (if sometimes surprising!) relief to our customers who're used to cumbersome processes and lengthy turnaround times for the features from their typical "enterprise" apps and vendors.
Security & Privacy, our two best friends
Finally, security and privacy are both crucial for an enterprise app that both the user and IT can trust. Plenty of apps start out scraping and syncing every piece of data they can get their hands on and either bury it in legalese or then scale back with tricky configuration options in response to bad press. We took the opposite approach, taking a hard look at how much work we could accomplish on the device, the bare minimum data we could sync to our cloud to achieve the functionality we need, and then constantly refine and limit it further as our features evolve. We only send very basic dial-in number and aggregate usage metadata to our cloud to enable syncing the proper dialing configuration to a device and all the in-depth parsing of calendar events and contacts, use of location information, and any information about the actual calls made by a user remain securely in memory, in the app, on the device. This usually requires more work to build, but we know how critical it is to our customers.
Internal security is another top priority when developing an enterprise-ready app. We may do many things like a startup, but we put the jokes aside when it comes to privacy and customer data. We use strong two-factor authentication for all systems that touch customer information, perform regular audits and security scans of both our mobile apps and cloud. We run a very closed-loop DevOps program where the same engineers who build and test code also deploy it to production, maintain it, support it, participate in our on-call rotation, and see any issues through to resolution and future process improvement. For us DevOps is total synergy of development and operations under one team with the exact same priorities and ownership of the outcome.
We've done something pretty special by making simple apps with enterprise clout that users actually WANT to use and IT departments actually WANT to deploy. We're constantly learning and if you're a MobileDay user we'd love to hear what you think!

Poison Pill Stalking Horse Attack By the Empire?
S.3767, New Companion Bill to S. 510 Introduces Severe Criminal Penalties
For "Adulterating" Food, Which To FDA Means… Selling Supplements!
Food Fascism Battle is Far From Over
1. Must Take Revised Action Item Each Day; CLICK THE LINK RIGHT HERE:
2. Must send viral! Please forward this item, urging contacts to take th
Action Item and then send it to their contact with the same request.
3. Check http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm to Find Your Senators' Phone Numbers.
Call Your Senators and Leave a Strongly Worded Message Like This One, Two, Three, Four:
1. S.510 is a CONTROVERSIAL BILL, adding criminal penalties to it through S.3767 is more controversial —
2. Please, Senator, put a HOLD on ALL "FOOD SAFETY" bills!
3. Senator, don't let it be pushed through the Senate immediately by parliamentary means as a non-controversial bill.
4. The bill can be reintroduced in January when hearings can held to allow groups which are opposed to the bill to tell how it will affect them and the American food supply.
Update on S.510 – S.3767
Food Fascism is on the march and it WILL destroy your legal access to clean, unadulterated food (S. 510). Food Fascism is on a stampede and it WILL destroy your legal right to learn or share information about what food (and food supplements) can do for your health (S. 3767).
If you are among the people responsible for more than 225,000 emails in the last few days, thank you. But if you are among the "Let George Do It" contingent, I have two questions for you:
1. What do you not understand about the concept of food fascism? Europe, which is much farther along the Code compliance Super Highway than the US, has lost the right to have, make, purchase or use Colloidal or Nano Silver. They have already lost the right to use most herbs for health purposes. In Germany, any patient who wants a nutrient IV must have his doctor travel to one of two special sites, spend the day making a SINGLE IV dose for them under the view of a camera with a date and time stamp and then may administer the drip. If another drip is needed, then the doctor must repeat the process. What do you think that costs? How many doctors are willing to do this for a single patient?
Of course, if the doctor wants to give the patient nutritional therapy at all, the Federal Republic of Germany must provide prior approval after the doctor submits the entire history of the patient, and the doctors own credentials, to receive PERMISSION TO USE NUTRIENTS.
GMO food must no longer be labled as such in Europe.
Growing GMOs is becoming legal in more and more states of EU countries as it is legal, without restrictions, in the US.
2. What are you waiting for? How much time and effort is require from you to go to LINK and enter your information and click "submit"?
More than you have? Well, just think how much time and effort it will take to deal with the cancer, cardiovascular disease, stoke, diabetes, obesity, MS, arthritis, environmental sensitivity, allergies, asthma, infertility, fetal loss, depression, hypertension, schizophrenia and other food borne illnesses and environmental diseases which bad food will cost you. Now consider the balance: a bit of time now to take the Action Item once for every member of your family and send it out to the people you can reach or what follows when S. 510 eliminates all clean food growing, including your backyard garden.
So here's the deal: take some time to take some actions and become part of the campaign to defend your health, your food and your freedom or don't and take the consequences.
Once again, here is the Action Item:
You are either in the parade or wondering if it will crush you. You pick. You act.
I cannot guarantee you that the globalist food fascism parade will not crush you. But I can guarantee that it will crush you and your family and everyone you love, all the useless eaters in your family and neighborhood.
But I can guarantee that it will crush you and your family and everyone you love, all the useless eaters in your family and neighborhood unless we put forth the effort necessary to halt this globalist juggernaught here, at this beach head.
Is that the end of the battle? Of course not. Will it be a seminal victory for us when we turn this tide of fascism and domination aside? You bet. And that's what we are after: enough protest to make sure that the US Senate does not dare to pass this bill for fear of us.
Fear? Yes, for fear of the recall petitions that aboug 75% of the States allow when a member of Congress violates their oath and their public trust.
Fear? Yes, for fear of what small groups of irate voters can do in the primary season when we, not the voting machines, own the tally.
Fear? Yes, for frear of what a suitably angered electorate can do to create new parties to take over the political process.
Fear, in short, of the power of We, the Power People. We have it, they know it, they fear it and we know how to use it peacefully, lawfully and effectively

Vaccine Mandates On the Way Back
The Judge Said We Won the First Two Rounds. Let's Go for a KO in the Third!
Donate to Support the Stop the Shot3 Federal Law Suit
Just when you thought you could trust the medical community… NOT!
"Based on expert medical opinion, we urge all pregnant women, and women who expect to become pregnant, to get their influenza immunization because the flu poses a serious risk of illness and death during pregnancy," said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes. "The flu vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective. As an added bonus, during pregnancy, mothers pass on their immunity, protecting babies until they are old enough to receive their own vaccinations."
Dr. Rima's comment: Clearly, there are those who think Pregnant Women have a Flu Vaccine Deficiency!
I think a Vitamin D3 deficit is more likely to weaken the immune system so that influenza can manifest.
Nor does Dr. Howse address the over 165 miscarriages that happened to women after receiving the Swine Flu Vaccine during the non-pandemic last year. That is 165 dead children, Doctor. During a "normal" flu year, between 0 and 7 women have such reactions, resulting in the "expected" number of dead children. Of course, what the FDA concedes is a "novel" flu virus, nonetheless not requiring safety testing, namely the Swine Flu Virus, is being added to this year's seasonal flu vax. How many more dead children should we expect, Doctor?
Dr. Howse, you should be ashamed of yourself for promoting this witches' brew posing as science! You know vaccines are an uninsurable risk, nonetheless you violate your solemn oath to Do No Harm by becoming a shill for the Syringe of Death!
We wish we did not have to say it, but deadly vaccine mandates, starting, but certainly NOT ending, with the H1N1 Swine Flu vaccines, now inserted into the seasonal vaccines are back. Not only are states like New York and employers all over the country working up to mandate vaccinations for health care workers, the Department of Defense has issued a vaccine mandate for the teachers in its overseas schools for DOD dependents AND for the children in them.
This week, the CDC's Advisory Committee on Imunization Practices (ACIP) whose recommendations generally become mandates, discussed in a day long meeting, how to make many, many vaccines mandatory for children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. Vaccines (and re-vacciantions) like Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR of Andrew Wakefield, MD and autism fame), Hepatitis B, Chicken Pox and on and on and on.
Fascism is fascism. Freedom starts with owning your own body. If the State controls what happens to your body, you are a slave, a vaccine slave in this case. Is that what you are? We say "NO!" and it is for that reason that the Natural Solutions Foundation is suing the FDA in Federal Court AGAIN to prevent the use of these untested, unsafe, unnecessary and uninsurable poisons.
Remember, there is not a single – NOT A SINGLE – placebo controlled, double blind study showing that vaccines are either safe or effective. Vaccine "trials" are conducted using the shoddiest of shoddy science, as for example, when a vaccine trial uses a non-mercury containing version, shows no immediate ill effects and proceeds to market the same brew but with mercury dumped in.
What do we need from you? Two things:
1. Your donations to make this legal avenue possible, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189, and
2. Your participation if you are a teacher, health care worker, student, employee, etc., whose health and well-being are being threatened by a mandate requiring you to accept a vaccine or suffer the serious consequences of dismissal or other reprisal by the system itself. If that is your situation, please contact me at email@example.com. Put "VACCINE" in the subject line and we WILL get back to you!
Thursday Update:
"The Constitutional Alliance has released a new book and DVD both titled "Your Body is Your ID". The book addresses many issues but focuses on the surveillance society being created by the federal government. Many citizens are confusing lifestyle with freedom and are unaware of how much control states and citizens are giving the federal government. Many citizens, if not most citizens have no idea what laws are in place, what legislation is being considered or what technologies are incorporated into the laws and legislation being considered that all add up to the creation of a surveillance society. We must all be cognizant of the fact that information is power and power is control. The federal government has an addiction; the addiction is to the personal information of all citizens including citizen's biometrics. No more than we would feed a child's addiction to sweets, should we feed the federal government's addiction to our personal information. In "Your Body Is Your ID" we not only document the problem of creating a surveillance society but also offer an alternative to our government's flawed strategy. Our proposed solution is being supported by many elected leaders and state/national groups/organizations. Our proposed solution addresses key issues such as terrorism and immigration." Mark Lerner will be a guest on Dr. Rima Reports, October 17, 2010.
Wednesday Updates:
[A] "By MARILYNN MARCHIONE, AP Medical Writer Marilynn Marchione, Ap Medical Writer – Mon Sep 13, 7:10 pm ET
BOSTON – An infectious-disease nightmare is unfolding: Bacteria that have been made resistant to nearly all antibiotics by an alarming new gene have sickened people in three states and are popping up all over the world, health officials reported Monday. The U.S. cases and two others in Canada all involve people who had recently received medical care in India, where the problem is widespread. A British medical journal revealed the risk last month in an article describing dozens of cases in Britain in people who had gone to India for medical procedures.
How many deaths the gene may have caused is unknown; there is no central tracking of such cases. So far, the gene has mostly been found in bacteria that cause gut or urinary infections. Scientists have long feared this – a very adaptable gene that hitches onto many types of common germs and confers broad drug resistance, creating dangerous 'superbugs.'"
[B] We want to congratulate Dowsize DC for bringing their supporters up to speed and demanding that their Senators place a hopld on S. 510. We urge all Downsize DC supporters to do that AND to take our action item, LINK, so that their Senators hear it twice! At the same time, they will be urging those Senators NOT to support the draconian (and, frankly, quite mad) S. 3767 which criminalizes selling supplmeents with ACCURATE SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED claims that the FDA does not like!

[2] Blood mercury levels in autism spectrum disorder: Is there a threshold level?
Geier DA, Audhya T, Kern JK, Geier MR. – Institute of Chronic Illnesses, Inc., Silver Spring, MD, USA. Abstract
Mercury (Hg) may significantly impact the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Lab results generated by Vitamin Diagnostics (CLIA-approved) from 2003-2007, were examined among subjects diagnosed with an ASD (n=83) in comparison to neurotypical controls (n=89). Blood Hg levels were determined by analyzing Hg content in red blood cells (RBC) using cold vapor analysis, and consistent Hg measurements were observed between Vitamin Diagnostics and the University of Rochester. Adjusted (age, gender, and date of collection) mean Hg levels were 1.9-fold significantly (P<.0001) increased among subjects diagnosed with an ASD (21.4 microg/L) in comparison to controls (11.4 microg/L). Further, an adjusted significant (P<.0005) threshold effect >15 microg/L) was observed for Hg levels on the risk of a subject being diagnosed with an ASD in comparison to controls (odds ratio=6.4). The weight of scientific evidence supports Hg as a causal factor in subjects diagnosed with an ASD.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Presentation & Marketing' started by Aggie, Apr 30, 2003.

QUOTE (Aggie @ Apr 30 2003, 06:54 AM)

I am told that metal is the only way to go. Wood is not archival and will ruin your prints.

this is not generally true. It depends on how the wood was treated and whether it is real wood or just pressed from wood shavings. The glue of the latter contains formaldehyd, which ist not only harmful to your prints.
Wooden frames are usually thicker than metal frames. it depends once more on your taste and the style of your pictures. Regard the frame as part of your artwork.
Many years ago I purchased a number of metal frames, having been influenced by the fashion or trend of the day. I quickly got tired of them at least for my exhibition prints and just used them to frame photographs to hang at home. Although I have been careful with them when moving them they do not stand up well and are now being confined to the dump for they are really badly marked. On the other hand I have about 100 wooden frames, light ash and American oak which is light brown, and despite having hung several exhibtions and sent them to a number of galleries they are still in very good condition. If there is a small mark it can be rubbed out on wood but not on metal. For that reason alone I would now always go for wood.
Choosing frames is very personal and aesthetics have to be considered so I hesitate to insist that one is better than the other for your work. I relate my experience mainly to point out one of the likely long term problems with metal frames. I have had both colour and black and white photographs on my wall in wood frames for many years and have noticed no deterioration at all.
As long as they are the right shape, rectangle.
I tried to resisit by just could not.
I see those Nielsen metal frame kits around, but I haven't really seen wood frames for sale. Where is a good place to get them? And for those who get many, like Les, do you buy them as kits or whole?
David, APUG member mvjim apparently runs an archival supplies business. He has wooden frames at competitive prices. At least compared to light impressions. I think his frames are $5 less than LI prices. Check him out.
Did anyone answer the question about wood frames being less archival?
Technicaly wooden frames are not "archival", but then again many excepted forms of presentation are not exactly archival either. For example - putting your prints in metal frames and keeping then on display 24/7, 365 days a year is also considered to be an "archival" no-no. It is generally advised that you rotate prints in and out of display to extend their life, as enviromental polutation is now considered to be the greatest enemy to preservation. There are some standards (that for the average person/photographer) are almost impossiable to meet when it comes to exacting preservation standards of your photographic prints. But if you do suffer from "archival paranoia" then your photographs should be stored away in a light tight vault at proper temp and humidity. If you are a photographer (not a collector) your first archival concern should be the proper storage of your negatives. We are always surprised to see how many experienced photographers store and handle their negatives completely improperly. At our gallery all work is displayed in wooden frames (primarly for the reasons stated by Les McLean) and under UV plexi, but the work is only kept in these frames for the length of the exhibit and then removed and put in proper storage. It should be remembered that the archival standards that most of us know or have read of are based on the idea of long term inactive preservation storage (as opposed to an active archive in which the negatives and prints are in continuous use)

PADRES (23-22) at DIAMONDBACKS (19-26)
TV: 4 San Diego, 6:40 p.m.
Radio: 1090-AM, 17-AM; 860-AM (Spanish)
It was back on May 15 that Kevin Correia took the mound at Petco Park trying to halt several Padres skids.
Correia was pitching in the opener of a nine-game homestand with the Padres wallowing at rock bottom.
Fresh from a 0-6 road trip, the Padres were mired in a 5-19 run. And no starting pitcher had won a game for the Padres in 25 games since April 16.
And as Correia walked off the mound for the last time on May 15, nothing had seemed to change – although Correia had pitched well enough to win. He had allowed only three runs on five hits over seven innings. But the Padres were trailing the Cincinnati Reds 3-2.
That's were the fortunes reversed. The Padres scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh. The Padres won. So did Correia.
The Padres haven't lost since.
Tuesday night in Phoenix, the Padres will face the Arizona Diamondbacks going for an 11th straight win. The Padres starter will be Correia, who, like Jake Peavy and Chris Young, has picked up two wins during the winning streak.
In his past three starts, Correia has allowed six runs on 15 hits and five walks in 19 1/3 innings – a 2.79 ERA. The secret has been doing more with less. Correia had benefited from taking the upper edge off his emotions when on the mound.
"You don't always know when you are over-throwing until they point it out to you," Correia said recently of the work he's done with pitching coach Darren Balsley.
Facing Correia will be Max Scherzer, the Diamondbacks' first-round pick (11th overall) in the 2007 draft.
Scherzer, who opened the season on the disabled list with shoulder soreness, is making his ninth start. Arizona is 4-4 when he starts compared to 15-22 for the rest of the staff.
Padres RHP Kevin Correia (1-2, 4.53 ERA)
Correia vs. Diamondbacks: 0-3 career, 4.08 ERA in 13 appearances, four starts (0-2, 5.79 ERA in three appearances, two starts).
Correia at Chase Field: 0-2, 3.74 ERA in eight appearances (two starts).

You know, johnny, I read in a post in another thread a very good argument why we shouldn't bring back Ron Artest. And you know the funny thing? It was you that posted it:

Nothing, and I mean nothing, that the fanbase "wouldn't go for" is going to be in the interest of the Pacers. This isn't a fantasy league, and they need fans. The players are an expense; the fans are the source of profit.

BEtween this thread and the trade thread suggesting that we trade for half the knicks team including Starbuy, I think severa of our posters have gone off the deep end.
Are you sure you guys aren't sharing the "positive test results" with David Harrison?
We need to let Ron complete the total destruction of this franchise.

Follow my twitter:
I don't give a **** about our fanbase this year (see my NYK trade thread). They're not going to support the team unless we bring in LeBron, or D-Wade, or Reggie Miller from a 1986 time machine. Since none of that is possible, we might as well trade for some unlikable players with bad contracts (hopefully accompanied with some picks) now so we can let them go in a year or two and use that cap money and those picks to bring the fans back.
I really don't see any other way to go.
The fickle fans will have to wait a couple of years.
Is that a joke or true?
I am used to seeing a crazy post about getting a guy another team says is available, but this is getting out of control. We need to get rid of our headcases, not bring in someone else who is out of control. Ron is just plain nuts.
The best Pacer game I have ever been to was the first game after the brawl. Those six guys never played harder in their lives. We lost a close game, but every fan was giving a standing ovation for the players as they left the court. Indiana likes to see players giving their all, no matter the talent.
We do need a trade, but we need to get rid of some bad contracts, and get draft picks. That requires giving away some talent to get rid of players like Troy.
You don't reload a gun that doesn't shoot straight, you get a new one.

Art and Technology Clash Center Stage
I've often pondered the distinction between designers who know technology and technologists who know design. I've watched as the two disciplines — once polar opposites — have come together since the introduction of the computer to the design and production process. Like two rivers — one icy clear, rushing from mountain peaks, the other muddy brown, meandering across the plains — they have merged to form a single, vegetation-rich, free-flowing source of inspiration.
That's the image I have in my mind, at any rate.
But often I stumble across evidence that confirms that there are indeed strong differences between artists and geeks. My most recent observations arose from attending the recent HOW Design Conference in San Francisco. Now I know it's dangerous to make generalizations, but I'm going to anyway. Feel free to disagree.
The Stage
Throughout my professional career, I've been to a lot of trade shows and conferences, and to be frank, most of them were tailored to buyers and sellers of personal computers, its software and services. And not once during 13 years have I seen a conference open with a woman wearing a 6-foot hat bedecked with the skyline of San Francisco and belting out "San Francisco, Open Your Golden Gates…" as it did at the HOW conference (Bay Area folk will recognize this visual from the long-running cabaret act "Beach Blanket Babylon.") Not to be outdone, the next morning's session opened with a concert played by Those Darn Accordions who memorably covered War's "Low Rider," among other classics. Most tech trade shows I've been to open with recorded inoffensive pop like Sting warbling "Fields of Gold" or with hired community theater players brightly singing marketing jingles.
It wasn't just the entertainment, either. The stage setup was visually pleasing. Elegantly lit simple scrims flanked the stage. Flat-panel screens seemed to float in space. As for technology, it was one G4, one Powerbook. Very designerly in that minimal chic kind of way. By contrast, at most tech conferences I go to, the stage holds at least four complete systems, both Mac and PC, wires and cables snaking across the stage like a pit of vipers.
But also by contrast, when HOW's projection system acted up, leaving frustrated presenters to plead for technical help (more on this topic later), help was not immediately visible (at least from my vantage point). After repeated entreaties a technician reset the projector, only slightly improving the focus. True, technical glitches always happen, but at a tech trade show, at least a dozen IT geeks in the audience would have been screaming solutions and storming the stage to save the day and earn bragging rights. Here the designers let the technicians do their thing. Maybe that stems from the division of labor in design studios, but it was more likely because the accordions had stunned them into a state of submission.
The Screen
It wasn't just the setting that added fuel to my intellectual fire about designers and technologists. The presentations themselves seemed to underscore my thesis. The slides shown by the designers just looked better: readable type, strong color schemes, clear organization, great graphics. I suppose that shouldn't be surprising coming from people who make their livings doing just that for clients. But during presentations by a couple of more technologically savvy people on the HOW docket, I couldn't help but be surprised by the contrast. I would have thought a tech-savvy presenter would have the know-how to put compelling slides together; heck, PowerPoint virtually does it for you.
Two people whom I admire very much and whom I've seen speak on numerous occasions at tech conferences — Nathan Shedroff and Lynda Weinman — seemed like fish out of water here, at least in terms of their visual styles on screen. Small type crowded the screens, and the organization was somewhat lackadaisical, especially Nathan's which was served up in a Web browser. To be charitable, using a browser as presentation software may have limited his design choices, but still…
It's not that I'm trying to bash these two for some snobby aesthetic reason. It's just that: (a) as seasoned presenters, you'd think they'd know what works visually for large crowds, and (2) as technologically savvy folks I'd have thought they'd know that type projected on screen is difficult to read at the best of times. Lynda's presentation — with its menu-style hierarchy — looked like some design thought had gone into it, but it was impossible to read. What looked good on a high-resolution monitor in the office didn't translate to the big screen in the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
And that got me to thinking. These are smart people. Really smart people. So smart they jumped on the Internet early enough to both own domains that are just their first names (www.nathan.com and www.lynda.com). Perhaps they get their heads so wrapped up in the technical accuracy of what they want to say that the visual stuff just slips by the wayside. It is better to be smart or to look smart? I don't know the answer to that one.
The Headspace
But what made me so darn convinced that my premise is correct — that there is indeed a big difference between those who approach design from technology and those who approach technology from design — was the kind of psychological quirk I saw in back-to-back presentations by World Famous Designer Paula Scher and Lynda Weinman.
It was during Scher's retrospective presentation of her work that it became clear that the screen wasn't — that is, that the projector was out of focus. Scher called for technical help a few times, but when it wasn't forthcoming, she just soldiered on. She talked about her early work for CBS Records through her current gig at Pentagram to her pro bono work for The Public Theater in New York. Even though her work appeared somewhat compromised by the fuzzy screen, she didn't let it distract her. The work spoke for itself and her polished narrative enhanced the visuals and kept the presentation on track.
By the time Lynda took the stage, the fuzz factor had become a real issue. Of course the lack of focus rendered the aforementioned small type nearly unreadable. But unlike Scher, Weinman clearly seemed rattled. Technology let her down and she referred to its shortcoming over and over again. "If this were in focus… If you could read this… It's too bad you can't see this…" I felt for her, but then again I also wanted to say: "It is what it is, just keep going. Explain your points well enough and we'll still get the gist of it even if the screen is a blur." But she couldn't, and what had been an interesting talk about trends in Web site design fell apart (I'll share her trenchant observations with you in another column).
It was as if Scher, a designer's designer in every sense of the word, knew that computers are nothing more than a tool on her drafting table. It's the expression of the thought that counts. For Weinman, the technology is the main means of expression, and when it let her down, she couldn't get past it. Or at least that's the way it seemed from my vantage point.
The Battle
Those of us who spend most of our days pirouetting at the intersection of design and technology yearn for those times when the two disciplines dance together in harmony. It's that moment when you don't think about which keyboard shortcut manually kerns letter pairs. Your fingers go there, instinctively because your mind is engaged in the pure expression of your vision. Of course, your fingers fly to the right keys because you've spent six months toiling in front of a monitor mastering the latest version of the software. And that's only if your system stops crashing long enough for you to install the software in the first place. That's the conundrum.
But some of us — and I have been there — are such slaves to our computers that we let the technology dictate what we do and how we do it. I recently finished a small personal piece and was slightly aghast at how the scan turned out when printed. For a moment, a brief moment, I despaired about redoing the entire piece. Then I realized that this piece said what I wanted it to say. That's what's important. I let it go.
For once the designer in me met the technologist head on — and won. It feels good.Tags

text: Just making the switch from my point and shoot digital to film SLR. When shooting indoors, I've heard that indoor lighting can mess up the color in color slides and color prints (although these seem to be more easily fixed). On the digital camera, it would be overly red in interior shots and I would simply adjust the white balance, which I can't do on the film SLR. So I was wondering what the best way is to deal with this issue. Filters? Are there different ones for incandescent and/or fluorescent? Or should you watch what type of film you're using. I really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Baddeley returns to familiar territory
By PGATOUR.COM Staff
Aaron Baddeley will be on familiar territory at this week's Emirates Australian Open at Royal Sydney Golf Club. Baddeley was an 18-year-old amateur when he won the 1999 Australian Open at the same course. He beat a field that included Greg Norman and Colin Montgomerie.
"It's pretty amazing that it's 14 years, that's just flown by,'' Baddeley told Golf Australia. "It was big week for me emotionally and career-wise, but then I didn't realise how big it was at the time."
He was a professional when he won the following year's Australian Open. Expectations were high for Baddeley after his back-to-back wins. He's won three times on the PGA TOUR (2006 RBC Heritage; 2007 Waste Management Phoenix Open; 2011 Northern Trust Open) but is coming off a trying TOUR season. He missed 14 of 24 cuts in 2013 and had just two top-10s. He ranked 178th (out of 180 players) in greens in regulation and second-to-last in driving accuracy.
He switched instructors recently to the team of former PGA TOUR winner Grant Waite and Chris Como, a Dallas-based biomechanics specialist. Baddeley has made three starts in the 2013-14 season, highlighted by a T-5 at the CIMB Classic. It was his first top-five finish since a fourth-place finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February 2012. He's
"I'm just trying to understand what works best for me, and just what I need to do to play good," Baddeley, 32, said. "I've made a couple of little changes, only small changes but major in the sense that they've made a big difference."

Rumor has it we are a disgruntled bunch, quite dysfunctional, with a City Council that fights among itself.
For those on the outside looking in, I suppose it would appear as such. Yet, how do we accomplish so much?
We have development occurring, fireworks, infrastructure improvements, a blighted area now budgeted for repairs and a functional teen center. We team up with different community service groups to provide city services for events, pushing forward on being self-sustainable, etc. Dixon has accomplished a true balanced budget, not a structural deficit budget balanced by using reserves to make up for revenue shortfalls. How many cities in Solano County can make this claim?
Two years ago, we were heading toward bankruptcy as other cities were. We knew there was a better way and together, as a community, we found it.
How does a dysfunctional town of people do this? Maybe appearances are not what they seem. Maybe we do things differently, maybe we debate, make concessions where needed, compromise and actually work issues out. To others, it may look like infighting; in actuality, "we" are just working out our differences to a mutual conclusion to the benefit of all.
I am proud of Dixon, our accomplishments, our people (even the grumpy ones, who give a different view). I am proud we have a town of people who work together and understand we are all in this together. We are a team.
Thank you, Dixon.
City Councilman Thom Bogue

QUADRATIC PEN's PARADES: SOME NEW RESULTS AND AN APPLICATION
In this paper we derive several new results with respect to the Gini index for a quadratic Pen's parade, building upon recent results by Mussard et al. (2011). To ensure that our results are relevant to many applied settings we impose only the parameter restrictions that guarantee the desirable property of convexity of the quadratic parade, which makes it in accord with the nature of many observed income distributions. We also account for the fact that the correlation between income and its rank is a function of the parameters of the parade. It turns out that for sufficiently large samples the reference value of the Gini index for a quadratic Pen's parade is 1/2. Whether the Gini index is equal to, less than or greater than 1/2 in these large sample situations depends on whether or not the quadratic parade passes through, above or below the origin, respectively. The problem of fitting a quadratic Pen's parade to observed income distributions is discussed and illustrated using Canadian data.

London – The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) on Monday said they would meet Oscar Pistorius in the coming days to hear his concerns about prostheses, after he sensationally lost his T44 200m title.
The 25-year-old South African hit out at his fellow competitors after he was beaten at the line by Brazil's Alan Oliveira at the Olympics Stadium late on Sunday, claiming that he was at a disadvantage due to artificial leg length.
Pistorius, dubbed the "Blade Runner" because he runs on carbon fibre blades, himself had to fight to have the J-shaped "Cheetah" blades he uses sanctioned so he could run against non-disabled athletes, including at the Olympics.
IPC media and communications director Craig Spence said there were regulations regarding the length of prostheses for amputee athletes in T42 (above-the-knee), T43 (double below-the-knee) and T44 (single leg below-the knee) track races.
"Since 2010 we have had rules in place whereby in international competition we measure athletes in the call room prior to a race," he told a news conference at Olympic Park in east London.
"Last night (Sunday) we measured all eight athletes in the call room prior to competition. This was done by an international classifier. They were measured, we had the signature of the classifier and all eight were legitimate to race."
Pistorius, the first double amputee to compete at the Olympics who was defending his three Paralympic T44 sprint titles from Beijing in 2008, looked odds-on to win the race after he stormed round the bend.
But Oliveira, 20, came back at him in the home straight, winning the race at the line in 21.45sec, seven-hundredths of a second ahead of Pistorius.
Pistorius then complained in a television interview that his fellow competitors were "a lot taller" and he was unable to compete with their stride length.
"You saw how far he (Oliveira) came back (down the home straight). We aren't racing a fair race... The regulations allow that athletes can make themselves unbelievably high," he said.
He added that he had raised the issue with the IPC but it had fallen "on deaf ears".
Spence said Pistorius had telephoned him directly six weeks ago about the blade length of his competitors but had told him that there were no infringements.
He attributed Pistorius' comments to the disappointment of losing his first 200m race in nine years and said they were "more than willing" to hear his concerns "in a less hostile environment than a packed Olympic Stadium". – Sapa-AFP

Flawless layout. Not frustratingly hard but still very challenging. Throws every possible scenario at you throughout it's 27 holes. Course has it's share of long holes (700ft+) and nice serving of aceable holes as well. Very clean, well mapped out and well maintained. I've only played two courses that I would rank at A+, this one and Golden Gate.
Thanks again for letting us play on your awesome course

Challenging w/o being frustrating. I love that this course is in my hometown. All the regulars are very friendly and helpful. The only reason this course doesn't earn an A+ is due to the hole signs not having layout diagrams for first-time players to know where the basket is.

MOSCOW, September 18 (RIA Novosti) - Agricultural and food cooperation agreements are likely to be signed following talks between the Russian president and the Hungarian prime minister Monday, a Kremlin source said.
Russian-Hungarian relations have considerably improved after a liberal coalition came to power in Budapest in 2002, and a landmark visit by Putin to Hungary in February-March 2006.
"Our commodity turnover increased to a record high of $6 billion last year, and this year it has already grown 40% to $3.6 billion," Putin said during his meeting with Ferenc Gyurcsany. "Hungary's exports to Russia rose 74% in the first half of the year."
The countries are implementing a number of bilateral projects, particularly in the fuel and energy sector. A gas transportation junction of European significance will be created in Hungary under bilateral projects. Hungary's MOL Group, a leading integrated group of oil and gas companies in Central and Eastern Europe, is participating in West Siberian oil projects.
Gyurcsany said Russian-Hungarian energy cooperation went beyond bilateral relations, being of European importance.
Putin said a project to create a railway transportation corridor with junctions in Zahony, on the Hungarian-Ukrainian border, in the Moscow Region and Yekaterinburg in the Urals was being developed.
A pilot project is being implemented to set up a nanotechnology research and production center in Miskolc, in northern Hungary.
"The Hungarian side is seeking to participate in priority national projects in Russia, first of all in agriculture, housing and healthcare," the Kremlin source said.
Meetings between the two countries' leaders are frequent. President Putin's visit to Hungary February 28-March 1 was preceded by five meetings with the Hungarian premier.

What the Barrymore Theatre lacked in size, it made up for in
energy Saturday. Despite the theatre's high school auditorium size, the John
Butler Trio rocked the crowd with a combination of improvised solos and fan
participation, and was well worth the price of admission. By infusing
improvised solos into his most popular songs, the Australian jam band left the
crowd with fulfilled expectations, as well as something new.
The emphasis of the concert seemed to be on individual
performances. Shannon Birchall, who usually plays an upright bass, had a long
solo, and drummer Michael Barker. Barker had a solo that was more than 10
minutes long. However, the highlight of the show was John Butler. In the middle
of the concert, Birchall and Barker left the stage, and Butler took over. Although
he only played two songs alone, they were most enthusiastically received of the
concert. The first song of the solo performance was "Fire in the Sky," a
popular among his fans with the words, "I don't understand/ How one can kill a
man/ In the name of peace."
However, the highlight of the show had to be "Ocean," an improvisational song
that Butler wrote when he was performing as a youth at the Fremantle Market in
Australia. Although it has no words, the song is quintessentially Butler's,
showing his creativity and skill. "It keeps me very close to who I am; it's a
foundation song," Butler said. "As I change, it changes with me." The song
captivated the audience, stopping for a moment the raucous dancing and shouting.
When Butler finished, the audience cheered for about a minute consecutively.
After the applause, the band came back out to play for about an hour. The final
part of the play was when the trio played many of their hits, such as "Zebra,"
"Better Than" and "Funky Tonight," the last song that the band played. Toward
the conclusion of the song, both Birchall and Butler set their instruments down
to play on the drums with Barker. The creative finish was a fitting conclusion
to a man who played on the streets until he was able to fund the recording of
his first CD.
The two-hour concert was a testament to the growing popularity of the trio, who
couldn't sell out the Barrymore Theatre two years ago. Fans know the trio's appeal
stretches far beyond its catchy singles; their improvisational genius makes
every performance exhilarating. The only off-key note of the concert was a girl
in front of the stage, crying hysterically at the greatness of John Butler.

The newest Hybrid Metal Figuration series figure features Disney's iconic character, and you can pre-order him
HeroCross has a new figure in their Hybrid Metal Figuration series up for pre-order, and once more, it's a Disney character: the great Donald Duck (sorry, Mickey). The metal-ally poseable figure is 14 cm tall with 20 points of articulation, and comes with a removable hat, two different heads and a few extra sets of hands. The angry Donald face is my favorite of the two, and the sculptwork looks pretty darn good on this piece for such a small-scale poseable figure.
Donald is an April release, running you ¥5,524 at retail. I know nothing much of HeroCross' track record ... but a poseable Donald Duck figure is something I kind of maybe would like to have. How about you?

Stars bow in girls hockey
Alanna Herne scored twice and had an assist for the Buffalo Stars in an 8-3 loss to Keweenaw, Mich. in the USA Hockey Tier II 19-under girls national semifinal at Northtown Center at Amherst.
The Stars were the only Western New York team to reach a national semifinal among the area's boys and girls national tournament qualifiers this season.
Both Buffalo and Keweenaw reached the semis by posting quarterfinal wins earlier Saturday.
The Storm had a little more jump in the semi, though, bolting to a 6-0 lead. Herne scored twice in the second period to make things mildly interesting before the Storm pulled away.

I would gladly like to work with you and the local leadership of these events to make it happen. If you felt that we could make a go of it and host a separate event I would like to assist you with that as well.

Subject: CCOC national meet?
Mr, Reifert, thank you for your offer. Dayton is actually very convenient to many CCOC members and Crosley history is largely based in Ohio .
With about 350 current members, though, the CCOC is still building after years of dormancy and hasn't officially met as a group for years; CCOC members have instead been attending existing meets though some have expressed hope that this may change someday. In the meantime, if Dayton has a major vintage-car meet, perhaps we can discuss joining in as participating members.
Thanks again!

"I missed the fees other than the $65 for the Sat kick off. Were we to "show" our cars what would it cost and would we be part of the "concours"."
Right, Robert. I'm against "registration fees" on principal. $65.00, you say? Ouch.
"Before making a long term commitment I'd like to hear from the other members and offer that the Crystal Lake IL venue for micro cars was one of the best I've ever attended. I belive its organizer intends to hold a similar event annually and it would be my pick to "associate" if we came to terms.
Robert Kirk
I agree, Robert. It looks ideal. How about it, everyone? We had eight Crosleys there the last time.

"We always want to win and our podium successes this year seem to have made us all the more hungry to taste the champagne..." - Eric Boullier.
- Home
- MotoGP
- Championships
- Forums
- CrashTV
- Live
There is more to come from Lotus, that's the message from team principal, Eric Boullier in the countdown to the Spanish Grand Prix.
The Enstone-based outfit has made a strong start to the F1 2013 World Championship, with Kimi Raikkonen taking one victory and two runners-up spots, while team-mate Romain Grosjean got his first rostrum of the season in Bahrain last time out.
The team now sits second in the Constructors' Championship, just 16 points behind the leaders Red Bull Racing and Boullier is confident the squad can maintain its run of accomplishments during the rest of the year.
"We always want to win and our podium successes this year seem to have made us all the more hungry to taste the champagne," Boullier stated. "We know we are facing other equally competitive teams and only one team and driver get to stand on that top step at each race. But it would be fantastic to start our European season with a win."
"We have a strong development programme for the E21 and I'm confident we can continue to improve it through the year, just as we did with the E20 before it. Most teams tend to bring a fairly major upgrade package to the first European race of the season and we'll be no exception," he added. "I'm very pleased with how the development of this car is progressing and I think there's plenty more to come from us."
As for the secret to the team's success, Boullier said it is simply down to 'good strategy, a good car and two good drivers': "Achieving a one-off result is one thing, but keeping momentum is a far bigger challenge and I'm pleased to say we're doing a great job of that so far this year," he continued.
"It's such a finely balanced and competitive season. If we look to our most recent race in Bahrain, on Saturday it looked like maybe we had lost our edge having qualified below expectations. Fortunately, we were always confident in our race pace and that confidence proved to be well placed.
"To come away with a double podium when the top six would maybe have been a more realistic pre-race target was a great performance from everybody involved. There was a pretty special feeling in the race team and that was just magnified when I got back to Enstone to see everyone in the factory. It was a well-deserved result.
"Romain clearly enjoyed every second on track - making a solid start and pulling off some strong overtaking moves - and I think that enjoyment showed in his performance. Consistency has been there already for him in the first three races, but I think fighting at the front again will come as a big relief to him after a difficult start to the year. His season really starts now.
"[As for] Kimi [who is second in the Drivers' Championship], he is a fantastic driver and you can never rule him out in any race.
"In Bahrain, he drove a strong race to manage the tyres and was comfortable in second by the chequered flag. In Australia he won the race and said it was one of his easiest wins. We want to ensure he has more easy races in the future," Boullier concluded.

Bundaleer is such a perfect place to getaway on the far south coast! We loved the beautiful room, and had a blast in the games room! Waking up to the birds singing, having a cuppa outside in the morning sun and looking out on the native scenery was just perfection. We were lucky enough to experience the astronomy tours run by our hosts, it was amazing seeing the planets and clusters up so close, you should definitely not pass up the opportunity! We would definitely recommend Bundaleer to anyone who wants a peaceful country escape not too far from the coast.Monique2017-08-07T00:00:00Z
