BBU presents the Gibson Brothers
I've never been disappointed by a performance by the Gibson Brothers since first hearing them at Pemi Valley Bluegrass Festival in New Hampshire back in 93 or 94 when brothers Leigh and Eric were backed by Mike Barber on bass and Mike's dad Junior Barber on resophonic guitar. They were already good performers back then and over the years they've just gotten better. So good that they won the prestigious IBMA "2012 Entertainers of the Year" award which surprised Leigh Gibson who thought it would take a little longer to reach that plateau. But it didn't surprise those of us who have been fans for years. Decades of hard touring have made the Gibson sound powerful, exciting and always fresh. Their songwriting skills have set them apart from many bands on the circuit today as most of their sets are populated with self written songs. Songs of hardship, struggles and overcoming the heavy loads many of us face in our journey through life. After listening to the Gibson Brothers one thing pops to mind: These guys are really good people who deserve the success they are enjoying of late. Last night's BBU sponsored concert at the beautiful "Museum of National Heritage" in Lexington, Mass. was sold out by ShowTime and with good reason. Opening for the Gibson's was Mike Compton picking Monroe style mandolin and Joe Newberry on the frailing banjo. Joe wrote two songs for the Gibson Brothers "Ring the Bell" album: "Jericho" and "I Know Whose Tears." The duo performed old timey tunes and were a big hit with the audience. The Gibson's followed with songs from their large collection of self written material and a few new songs from their new album to be released in late March. One of the new tunes, "I'm Dying to find Someone to Live For," written by Loretta Lynn and Shawn Camp sounds like a hit to me. The Gibson's are backed by top tier musicians Mike Barber on bass, Joe Walsh on mandolin, and Clayton Campbell on fiddle. These guys are such a huge part of the Gibson Brother sound, there solos are innovative and exciting and add to the experience of the Gibson Brothers. The band received standing ovations several times and two encores.

I'm a military voter
Active military voters are exempt from the photo ID requirement if they are voting by absentee ballot.
Military voters should visit https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/MilitaryOverseasVoters
You are a "Military Voter" if you are:
- A member of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard, the Commissioned Corps of the Federal Public Health Service or the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- A member of the merchant marine of the United States
- A civilian employee of the United States and civilians officially attached to the uniformed services who are serving outside the United States
- A Peace Corps volunteer
- A spouse or dependent of someone listed above, if you live with or accompany them
* Note: Military electors who are on active duty away from their primary residence ("active-away") are subject to a special procedure which allows them to request an absentee ballot until 5 p.m. on Election Day for elections with national office.
Requesting an Absentee Ballot
- Unlike a regular voter, a military voter can request and receive an absentee ballot online at My Vote WI: myvote.wi.gov
- You can also complete a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) and mail, fax or email it to your municipal clerk
- Or, you can notify your municipal clerk in writing (by mail, email, or fax) that you are a military voter and are requesting an absentee ballot
- Clerks must receive a military elector's absentee ballot request no later than 5 p.m. on the Friday before an election
- For elections containing a national office on the ballot, military electors who are on active duty away from their residence may request an absentee ballot until 5 p.m. on Election Day
- Military electors are exempt from registration. However, you will need to provide information similar to someone registering to ensure you get the correct ballot
Receiving Your Absentee Ballot
- Military electors can choose to receive their absentee ballot by mail, email, or fax. You may not return your voted ballot electronically.
- Starting on September 20, 2012, military electors can access their absentee ballots online at My Vote WI: myvote.wi.gov
- If a mailed absentee ballot does not arrive in time, you may use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB), which is available online, at U.S. embassies, and from Military Voting Assistance Officers
Voting and Returning Your Absentee Ballot
- You must mark your ballot in the presence of a witness (a military voter's witness need not be a U.S. Citizen)
- After you vote your ballot, place it in the envelope, and complete the absentee ballot certification
- Make sure you sign and date the certificate, provide your date of birth, have a person sign as a witness, and provide the witness' address
- Return your absentee ballot to your municipal clerk by mail
The absentee ballot must be received no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day. The U.S. Postal Service recommends absentee ballots be mailed one week before Election Day to arrive on time
Military voters do not need to provide a photo ID when voting by absentee ballot. However, if you vote in-person at the polls you will need to show an acceptable photo ID.

Man convicted inSpringfield officers' slaying paroled
Juan Ortiz convicted in deaths of two police officers
A man convicted of second-degree murder in the slayings of two Springfield police officers in 1985 is getting out of prison.
The state Parole Board in a decision released Tuesday granted parole to 50-year-old Juan Ortiz. Ortiz will spend 18 months at a low-security facility before being freed. Upon release, he will be allowed to move to Chicago, where he has family.
The president of the Springfield police union tells The Republican newspaper he is "disappointed" and "surprised" by the decision.
Ortiz appeared before the parole board in September to make his case. He said he was genuinely remorseful and pointed out that it was actually his brother, Eduardo Ortiz, who fatally shot officers Alain Beauregard and Michael Schiavina.
Ortiz's lawyer says his client wants to contribute to society.

Long overdue sketches
Well, I started a project for myself awhile back: draw something on a daily basis. Yes, I draw every day at work, but as those who work in the animation biz know very well is that that doesn't count. That's drawing because you're supposed to draw. Which isn't that much fun, is it? (Well, sometimes. Okay, most of the time.) I promised myself that I would find the time each and every day to draw something in my sketchbook. I wanted to do something like this because it's supposed to make me a better artist, the idea that if you're constantly looking at things with an artistic eye and force yourself to put it onto paper (even if it's not looking good in your eyes), then eventually you'll have a better grasp on capturing your world around you.
It started out pretty well, but then... well, I faltered. But that happens. And I'm... okay with it. Really, I am. But hey -- I try not to focus on it. I just pick up a pencil and my Moleskine, and I do a sketch. It so easy when I take the morning bus ride into work. It's so difficult when I don't.
There's no "right" way to do this. I just start drawing. And I have several approaches as to how and what I draw. If you notice in these sketches I'm about to post for you, I have three distinctive approaches of drawing my subjects:
1. Draw from real life.
2. Draw from images (like from a magazine or photos)
3. Draw off the dome (from my head; freestyling)
Sometimes it's a combination of the two: I see a person walking by and since I can't capture them perfectly because of the short amount of time I have, I take some elements or characteristics that stuck out in my head and then go from there, creating an entirely different person. Doesn't have to be perfect. It gives me a chance to work on my imagination.
So here are some of my daily sketches. Most of them are small here, but you can view them larger by clicking on the image which takes you to its Flickr page. From there, you can click on "All sizes." (Also, you can see all of these, plus more in My Art photoset on Flickr. Sweet.)
The following were done before I decided to do daily sketches:
Bus ridin' gives me endless possibilities of subjects to draw from:
One last thing. I'd like to revisit some of my old sketches and breathe new life to them. Here's one guy I drew back in September of '06:
And here he is with color:
Okay, that should tide you over for awhile! More to come, I promise.

Very, very nice. I find this sort of thing very inspirational. Of course, you know very well I fall into the Marc Davis "I don't draw unless I'm being paid" camp, but looking at your nice sketches kinda makes me wish I didn't...."kinda." Swingin' post.ReplyDelete
I love them all, as usual, but the overhead umbrella crowd sketch really dazzled me!ReplyDelete
I also love the skewed way you wrote the word "hands" overlapping the art in the hands drawing. I don't know why little details like that make me happy, but they do. Nice decision.
It's hard to find time to draw for oneself.
YEAH! I've been waiting for you to post something new. How long has it been since we had an Ava Thursday (or whatever)?ReplyDelete
I'm a complete outsider to the industry, and I appreciate how you put the text and images together. I especially like when you decompose Ava's work (that *really* teaches me something).
Great work! I love the sketches, such a simplified, yet expressive quality to them. Your reel is also amazing...ReplyDelete
I like the quiet moment you captured of Ava looking through the glove compartment (quite a mysterious little hatch, if I remember right from my own childhood).ReplyDelete
I love the gestures you capture... rubbing an eye, stifling a laugh, reaching into the glove compartment. More, please! (but no pressure.)ReplyDelete
nice look, a little taste of the classics. do you color in photoshop, or the old way?ReplyDelete
It has been a while since we've seen some of those. Nice. It is tough when you are drawing all day to pick up the pencil in your own time. Setting a routine is good for that.
The paper in your Moleskin has a great look to it, which helps with the sketchbook look. Can I ask what you're drawing with? Is it the animation standard "Col-erase" crimson red?
- AnonymousAugust 30, 2007 9:01 AM
thanks for theseReplyDelete
really enjoyable and inspirational
Hi Ward - I've been lingering around your blog for some time now just as an onlooker but this post was really inspirational. Thanks for reminding artists out there that every drawing doesn't have to be a masterpiece waiting to be framed and hung, but that sketching is a regular exercise we shouldn't be afraid to tackle every day, even when we're having "off" days. I always enjoy your material so thanks again.ReplyDelete
Your sketches are so neat and clean, the lines are so sharp. Really cool. Pieces like Ava snooping are like little pieces of personal history in pencil.ReplyDelete
Yup. Inspirational as usual, Ward. You got me bloggin, too in my own messy way.
Hey, sweet stuff Ward. Really appealing and great style. It's awesome to see more of this from you and in such huge doses...i could get used to it.ReplyDelete
I especially dig seeing the colro version of one of them. Yummy stuff, man.
And say Ward--how come I'm never asked to these things: https://ottawa.awn.com/index.php?option=com_oiaf&task=showevent&i=170&Itemid=698
I mean Barrier doesn't even blog! (Just kidding-he does--whether he calls it that or not, and it's one of the best. Yours too).
*written in poorpoorpitiful-me-me-me mode. ; )
Glad you all like the sketches, guys! I promise to post some more, once I get the scanner up and running.ReplyDelete
And Jenny, just to let you know, I won't be able to attend Ottawa this year. The blogger panel was originally my idea, but unfortunately I won't be there to be a part of it! What are the odds? Oh well.

North Carolina State University makes teaching and learning more collaborative and creative
NC State previously used legacy email systems, Cyrus IMAP and GroupWise, that didn't meet students' and staff members' needs. Students couldn't do much with email because of the small storage quota, and faculty had scheduling problems because they used different calendar programs. "You couldn't easily schedule a meeting with someone if they weren't using the same calendar — you had to call them up and send email back and forth to check availability," says Stan North Martin, director of Outreach, Communications and Consulting in the Office of Information Technology at NC State.
Students and staff also ran into barriers when trying to collaborate. For example, administrators struggled to efficiently take and share notes during staff meetings. "With Microsoft Word you never knew if the version you had was the latest version or not. It was a clunky process," Martin says.
'That's one of the things that's transformed the campus the most – getting everyone on the same platform and using the same email and calendar system.'Stan North Martin, director of Outreach, Communications and Consulting in the Office of Information Technology at NC State University
Because of the frustrations over email space and calendaring, as well as limited collaborative abilities, the CIO asked a team to look at hosted options for students, including G Suite, Microsoft Live and Zimbra. They analyzed costs and benefits, then created student focus groups to narrow their options. After pilot testing the different tools, as well as receiving in-person demonstrations and feedback from students, the university decided to go with Google. The ability to integrate with different software and hardware played a significant role in NC State's decision. "At the time the Microsoft solution really only worked with Internet Explorer," says Sarah Noell, head of the Google Service Team and an assistant director in the Office of Information Technology. "We have a growing number of Macs on campus.
For the students, many of whom were already using Google, it really was a no-brainer." Meanwhile, the CIO asked another research group on campus to evaluate G Suite for faculty and staff. Their main criterion was a solution that would require little change in processes. Moving from an on-premise solution to a cloud-based one does require some alteration, but the perception of change was greater than the reality. Most faculty members embraced the move to Google, having seen it used so successfully by students. While some staff members were initially reluctant, their complaints have pretty much gone away since they actually started using G Suite, Noell recalls. Now, Noell's team manages 180,000 Google accounts, around 75,000 of which are active. NC State graduates are able to keep their accounts indefinitely, and many have inactive accounts.

Larry's Garden: What To Plant In Early Spring
Larry Moore Shares His Gardening Tips
There's been a lot of rain this week, but that doesn't mean you can't get out in your garden.
Longtime gardener Larry Moore said he's often asked what can be planted in early spring.
Larry said the first seeds you can put in the soil are radishes. He recommends Cherry Bomb II Hybrid.
Fresh green onions are also a treat. He recommends using plants instead of seeds or sets.
Picked romaine lettuce is also good. Larry said Burpee EZ will be ready within 65 days.
Potatoes can also be planted. Yukon Gold is a good one and there is still time to plant.
Peas can also go in the soil when it dries. Maesto is Larry's favorite variety.
Larry said it's too early to plant for everything else.
You can e-mail your gardening questions to Larry Moore at email@example.com

Conano: Tiny Barbarian DX
The original Tiny Barbarian was a splendid little platformer, with secrets to discover and monsters to be barbaric toward. Based on The Frost Giant's Daughter, an original Conan story, it was lovely and free. StarQuail are working on a semi-sequel, Tiny Barbarian DX, and it looks even more lovely and there's no indication that it will be any less free. Barbarians riding on top of animonsters immediately reminds me of Golden Axe and the way that arrows are chopped out of the air immediately reminds me of awesome, so I'm now referring to Tiny Barbarian DX as Awesome Axe. Or Golden Awesome, but that sounds like a rubbish wrestler or the most incredible apple ever grown. Video below.
I do not know what happened to the audio. It wasn't there earlier either.
Thanks to Chris Priestman for the tip.

Q&A: Arizona in the spring, Kenny Powers & Magglio
Hey, everyone! I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving and ate a lot of turkey and mashed potatoes! Here are some more of your questions answered:
Q: Ozzie, what do you think about Arizona? Do you have any favorite restaurants down there, and how do you like having Spring Training there?
A: Arizona has great weather, even though it's kind of weird because in the morning it's freezing and then gets very, very warm during the day. I love the amazing golf courses they have out there, even though I need to get a lot better! Our Spring Training facilities are very good and convenient for the managers and players because they are all so close. It allows us to take batting practice in Glendale and then travel to our road games and back quickly. "Mastro's" and "Mariscos Chihuahua" are my two favorite places to eat, and I go there often. In fact, I take the Arizona grounds-crew guys out to eat every year at one of those places. I love those guys.
Q: Will you invite Kenny Powers to camp next spring?
A: I would love to have Kenny Powers in camp. I also want that YouTube kid, Keenan Cahill — the little guy with the glasses. That guy is great!
Q: Are A.J. Pierzynski and Paul Konerko staying?
A: When you guys ask me questions about players, you guys are asking the wrong man.
Q: As a former resident of Berwyn, Ill., do you ever get a chance to make it back? Any favorite restaurants?
A: Yes, I have some good friends in the Berwyn Police — Jimmy Sassetti is my guy! My favorite place to go eat is :Mr. Tacos," and I remember Orlando the Barber.
Q: Is there still heat between you and Magglio Ordonez?
A: No, me and Magglio did what we had to do. We moved on and respect one another. I'm happy when he does well.
Q: What are your thoughts on global warming?
A: To be honest, I really don't know that much about global warming. I do know that we need to try and take a little better care of our environment, no matter what you believe.
Thanks for all the questions, and remember to keep them coming!
— Ozzie

I love that you continue to blog Ozzie!
How do you like sharing the Spring Training facitily with the Dodgers? I am a huge Dodger fan and have gone to Spring Training in Vero Beach and now go to Arizona. I also have Dodger season tickets. Two years ago I went to see the Dodgers at Wrigley but the schedule did not workout to see a White Sox game. Maybe next time.
Do you ever go out to dinner with Fernando, Pepe and or Jaime Jarrin? I love our Dodger broacasters and adore Vin Scully. Vin turned 83 yesterday.
Ozzie, If you could know the date of your death would you want to know?
What can I do to help the people in Venezuela?
They are in my prayers.

The various discussion of epic fantasy play off one another particularly well--there are enough disparate viewpoints on this particular topic to give a sense of the varied attitudes in the field. Alas, I was not as impressed by the treatment of urban fantasy in its varied forms, although Roz Kaveny's paper on dark fantasy was nuanced and interesting--other than that, I don't think there was enough breadth in discussion of the subgenre to balance out the inevitable biases of any one author.
Overall, recommended.

Species guidance
The Endangered Resources Program has developed avoidance measures and management guidelines for plants on the Natural Heritage Working List. These are a work in progress, and we welcome your suggestions and feedback. Sources used in developing this information can be found here.
Avoidance measures
These are specific actions designed to avoid "take" (mortality) of this species.
- Avoid known individual plant locations and conduct operations elsewhere when they are least likely to cause damage. Ideally, this would involve frozen, snow-covered ground. However, in areas of the state where frozen conditions are unreliable, very dry soils late in the growing season might be the best available alternative. Consult with a biologist, if needed.
- Avoid broadcast spraying of herbicides; use care with spot spraying.
Management guidance
Management guidelines are additional considerations that may help maintain or enhance habitat for this species
- Maintain open to partially open canopy; avoid closed canopy conditions.
- Prescribed burns and/or brushing may be beneficial (dependent on local site conditions).

Where the Villages Have No Name
In a land with no electricity, children use digital cameras to document their environmental heritage.
He may not be the king of beasts, but Roshan Patel seems to have found his place in the circle of life.
"Kenya literally felt like The Lion King every day, with a big sunrise behind the acacia tree and lions and elephants everywhere," said Patel.
Patel, a member of the class of 2008 at the College of William and Mary, spent seven weeks of the summer of 2007 in the middle of this untamed scenery, teaching Maasai elementary children the basics of digital photography in the hopes that they will continue to document their richly biodiverse, almost untouched environment. Combining his love of biology with his passion for photography, Patel taught children in the third to fifth grades to take wildlife portraits and expansive, 360-degree landscape shots with digital cameras. He also showed older children, in the sixth to eighth grades, how to record locations of wildlife sightings using global positioning systems. In his down time, Patel tagged along with elephant researchers and captured stunning and intensely personal portraits of elephants, lions, cheetahs and goshawks.
Self-taught photographer
A biology major, Patel's photography skills are entirely self-taught. During his family's frequent visits to relatives in India, Patel began experimenting with photography, and soon realized how much he enjoyed it. Patel's interest in photography began to take a serious turn after he came to William and Mary. Constantly snapping photos of wildlife in his biology courses, Patel's work drew notice from his professors, and his photographs began popping up in lectures and presentations. Then he began selling his images. With the proceeds of selling his wildlife shots, some business school event gigs and a few portraits, Patel invested in a digital SLR camera, and began to seriously consider the role of photography in his life. In January 2007 Patel approached faculty advisor Dan Cristol, associate professor of biology, with the idea for a summer conservation project.
"I knew that I really just felt passionate about trying to work with education programs to do conservation, and I wanted to try really hard to make photography fit," Patel said. "I wanted to work on a conservation project in a country that was relatively untouched and pretty receptive to conservation work. And I do photography. So I said, 'How do I incorporate that into it?'"
Patel says he was inspired in part by the documentary Born into Brothels, which depicts how director Zana Briski gave cameras to a number of children in Calcutta's red light district and taught them to expand their world through photography.
Patel wanted to get kids involved in seeing their own world through a camera lens, perhaps noticing the changing landscape and considering the value of the fauna and flora surrounding them every day. "The idea of giving them a new way to look at what they typically wouldn't notice—it was an exciting thought," said Patel.
"Originally, I was skeptical that he could pull it off, but I didn't let on—I hope," Cristol said. "I can't take much credit for this. It was completely Roshan's idea and he executed it all by himself. In my experience, student projects usually work out less wonderfully than originally envisioned, but this case was very much the opposite."
Fueled by the Charles Center
Awarded a $3,000 International Summer Research Grant from the College's Roy R. Charles Center, Patel began to look for sites for his project. He wanted to work in a place with fairly untouched habitats in a nation with an environmentally-friendly attitude. Focusing on Africa and Brazil, Patel contacted elephant researcher Hamisi Mutindo, who worked with a small Maasai village in the Rombo region of southern Kenya. Mutindo put Patel in contact with the villagers, and the local school agreed to participate in the project.
"Kenya ended up a good location because they already have a pretty good emphasis on wildlife management," Patel said. "As far as convincing people to do a conservation project, it would be a lot easier there than perhaps working with public school systems in America."
The easy part: getting cameras
Acquiring cameras for the project was unexpectedly easy. "I basically wrote a letter to Canon and they followed up on it and said they would just give me discontinued cameras that weren't going to be sold anyway," said Patel. The digital cameras donated by Canon even came with a lifetime warranty. "It was actually really simple, and surprisingly less paperwork and meetings than I had thought it would take."
Armed with his ten Canon digital cameras, Patel boarded a plane for Africa in late June, eventually arriving in a mud-hut village near the Tanzania border, an hour and a half from the nearest electricity. The villagers, he said, are nomads and don't give names to their villages.
"It was literally the most middle of nowhere I'd ever been," he said. For the first two weeks of his project, Patel worked without the cameras, ensuring the village school's commitment to the project, but he said it didn't take much to get everyone completely on board and excited about the project.
The digital cameras introduced a very different experience for children who had never lived with electricity before. At first, the children were almost too excited about the project.
"Initially it was very hard to work with them, to be honest," Patel said. "We'd take the cameras out just to practice the actual features on the camera, and they would take six hundred, seven hundred pictures in a day, just firing it whenever they saw anything."
Focusing on focusing
Eventually, the novelty of the cameras began to wear off, and the children began to focus on the actual quality of the pictures they took. The group learned to take panoramic images from the tops of hills and practiced their photography techniques on a convenient (and patient) genet cat, a nocturnal animal that sat perfectly still in a tree most of the day.
The village school keeps possession of the cameras, the digital photographs and the specific GPS locations of wildlife encountered on field trips. Patel hopes that this data might allow the children to see firsthand the effects any future development or agriculture might have on wildlife populations and landscapes profiles. This project also gave the village a solid set of wildlife counts to support a petition for wildlife reserve status, should they choose.
"The other element of why I decided to do this project was because I think that people are disconnected from conservation efforts. Especially after talking to a lot of people down there, I realized that a lot of conservation is seen as 'white people's work,' where foreigners come in and tell the tribes what to do with their land," he said. It's not that they're questioning the importance of conservation itself, but there's a kind of lack of ownership over the process."
A question of conservation
Despite his hope that the Maasai village will embrace the cause of protection of their wild and relatively pristine surroundings, Patel intends to approach the rest of this project, and possible future projects, with a hands-off attitude.
"I don't think any individual can convince everybody that conservation is an important thing to do. It's something they have to understand for themselves. Hopefully I can assist them getting there, but I don't want to be overbearing in my role," said Patel.
The wider acceptance of environmentalism is a big focus for most scientists, and Patel is no exception. "Right now, I'm thrilled that on any given day on the news you'll see some environmental issue being brought up, because the push in general is to have people thinking about it, for them to have it on the forefront of their minds," he said. "I'd like to take environmentalism out of classrooms, or if it is involved in classrooms, it should be involved in a more fun and local way. I think ultimately people need to relate to the field if they're going to care about it."
When asked about his future plans, Patel expressed an interest in bringing his experience home. He had initially looked to initiate a similar program on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, but the logistics of the U.S. school system required a greater time commitment than he had to offer.
"Maybe next year," he said. "You don't necessarily have to go somewhere dramatic to be able to do something like this. I want to make the sciences more accessible, using a pretty straightforward tool."

Understanding extreme weather events and how to prepare your home
Extreme weather events can cause serious damage to homes. The damage can be extensive and expensive to repair. Prepare your home for future extreme weather events such as hurricanes by installing closed cell spray foam insulation into your home. Closed cell spray foam can help reject bulk water and help you be preapare for future hurricanes and flooding. FEMA recognizes closed cell spray foam insulation, like that available from Icynene, as a flood resistant material.
The infographic below provides a quick snapshot on the costs associated with extreme weather events, hurricanes and flooding. Plus, get an insight into how spray foam insulation, like that available from Icynene, can play a role in helping to repair and protect your home.

wasp, name applied to many winged insects of the order Hymenoptera, which also includes ants and bees. Most wasps are carnivorous, feeding on insects, grubs, or spiders. They have biting mouthparts, and the females have stings with which they paralyze their prey. The sting can be used repeatedly. The thorax of a wasp is attached to the abdomen by a narrow stalk (hence the term
wasp-waisted). Some wasps are solid black or dark blue, but most have red, orange, or yellow wings or markings. Stripes are common. The great majority of the 20,000 species are solitary, but one family (the Vespidae) includes both social forms (the paper wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets) and solitary forms (e.g., the potter wasps).

Can anyone identify any silly mistakes I am making?
Due to the nature of this setup i'm finding it really hard to debug as the serial port is being used constantly. As my processing sketch is printing to the port I am having to process it on the arduino and then re-write it to the port and print it from processing :s
Is anyone aware of how arduino interprets the port.write(int); method in processing... ie does it recognise the byte as an integer or do I have to convert it with atoi?
if i type a 1 first its fine... if i then type 33 the next number is 13... then a 3 will pop up. Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

Toni Collette
- Medium
- oil on linen on canvas
- Read label text
Actor Toni Collette has appeared in numerous films including Muriel's wedding, The sixth sense, About a boy and Hitchcock. She won an Emmy and a Golden Globe Award for her portrayal of a suburban housewife coping with dissociative identity disorder in the US television series United states of Tara. She also starred on Broadway in the musical The wild party.
'For me it is important to find a connection with my subject in order to paint them,' says artist Alexander McKenzie. 'I feel there is a relationship between all artists, whichever medium or field they work in, and this became the impetus behind the idea for the portrait.
'The island is symbolic of an artist's ambition: an idealised destination, an imagined future that we aim for with our work, keeping us moving forward: unattainable perhaps, but looming large in all artists' psyches. By contrast the lifeboat is a reference to the more vulnerable side of an artist's personality – the one that struggles with confidence, self-doubt and self-belief.'
Born in Sydney in 1971, McKenzie is predominantly a landscape painter known for his luminous paintings, which recall both the themes of Western symbolist painting and the techniques of the 15th-century Dutch old masters. Increasingly his paintings evoke a strong narrative content. This is his sixth time as a finalist in the Archibald Prize. He has also been represented seven times in the Wynne Prize.

UW regents, lawmakers to discuss relationships
Republican legislators had criticized system leaders for $650M reserve
MADISON, Wis. — University of Wisconsin System regents are set to meet with lawmakers this week to discuss rebuilding their relationships.
Republican lawmakers have heaped criticism on system leaders for building a $650 million reserve while raising tuition every year. The state budget Republican Gov. Scott Walker signed in June froze tuition levels and system President Kevin Reilly resigned last month. A search committee has started looking for a replacement.
The Board of Regents and other higher-education leaders plan to meet Thursday with a quartet of Republican legislators, including Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, Sens. Alberta Darling and Sheila Harsdorf and Rep. Pat Strachota. Rep. Jill Billings, a La Crosse Democrat, also will attend the meeting.

Sortie le: 2010-10-15
With their current longplayer "The Frozen Tears Of Angels" RHAPSODY OF FIRE made a brilliant comeback and entered the charts in twelve countries: from their homecountry Italy (#31), Germany (#33) up to Japan (#41), Korea (#69) – which resulted on a great #59 at the European Billboard charts. Both fans and medias were talking about one of the best and strongest releases of the band. As their world tour was set to start from Winter 2010 until Spring 2011, the creative bandmates were composing another milestone in the history of RHAPSODY OF FIRE: an epic monument called: "The Cold Embrace Of Fear – A Dark Romantic Symphony", which takes 35 minutes in total. Parts of it were already composed while the recordings of "The Frozen Tears Of Angels" took place, but a song of this particular length needed more time in the studio, so the focus on it was set after the release of their full length. " For this special CD we composed a unique song of around 35 minutes divided in 7 "acts". Looking at the title you can easily imagine that such long and epic song will show the most cinematic and orchestral side of our band, all our passion for the world of cinema we love so much and that always represented our main influence while composing the RHAPSODY's music", says Luca Turilli and adds: "Essentially it is a long huge song, sounding very symphonic, full of orchestral sections very soundtrack oriented, narrations and spoken parts. More than in other cases we tried to create a real movie atmosphere with very dynamic musical results, also thanks to the help of the English actors that gave voice to different charachters. You will just need to close your eyes and explore those new emotional dimensions we wrote the music for." The lyrics of this monumental, epic symphony is based on the "dark secret saga" and represent a new chapter, directly connected with "The Frozen Tears Of Angels". Luca explains: "After the long journey to the icy frozen northlands at the borders of the known world, while facing concrete natural obstacles and the inner demons lying in the depths of their conscience, the five main charachters reach the ancient gothic fortress of Har-Kuun, a real monument of evil trapped between ice and snow, the mystic place where the Erian's book could be finally found. "The Cold Embrace Of Fear" tells about the entrance of those bravehearts in the ancestral world of Har-Kuun and the dramatic search for the holy book of the angels, only possible way to understand something more about the dark secret threatening the whole known world. Also in this case I liked to create particular "bridges" connecting the new chapter of the saga with our modern life on the basis of symbolism, ancient wisdom and spiritual evolution. To someone who knows something about modern psychology and the study of the different "self", the hidden geometries and gothic labyrinths of Har-Kuun will reveal themselves very clearly." Once again Christopher Lee was chosen for the spoken parts as a main narrator. "We couldn't imagine to release something like this without his fundamental partecipation. Sir Lee is one member of the RHAPSODY OF FIRE's family since a lot of time and we love him not only as an actor but also as a friend. Because of his great and majestic personality he has surely the aura of a king of the ancient times. This extraordinary release will hit the stores on October 15th for a special price.

The Shallows could be easily dismissed as a guilty pleasure if it weren't so competently constructed and self-serious.
Nancy (a believable and shockingly likable Blake Lively) is a med-student at a cross-roads in life wondering if she will or won't become a doctor? She's also still emotionally scarred by her mother's cancer-related death. Therefore, she does some soul-searching in Mexico where she successfully finds a secret cove and beautiful beach where her mother spent some time shortly after learning she was pregnant with Nancy. There she takes to the surf and stays out in the shallow waters just a little bit too long…accidentally stumbling upon one insatiable shark's feeding spot.
It's not often you get such depth in a character leading a monster movie. So when things get silly and over-the-top (especially in the deliciously inane third act), the viewer is invested enough in Nancy to not give a damn about how patently ridiculous her tete-a-tete with one nasty shark gets. I imagine some animal rights activists will not be happy with the unfair portrayal of sharks…though seaguls (in the form of Nancy's injured companion "Steve") certainly get a nice image make-over here.

Abstract and Keywords
Human experience of color results from a complex interplay of perceptual and linguistic systems. At the lowest level of perception, the human visual system transforms the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum into a rich, continuous three-dimensional experience of color. Despite our ability to perceptually discriminate millions of different color shades, most languages categorize color into a number of discrete color categories. While the meanings of color words are constrained by perception, perception does not fully define them. Once color words are acquired, they may in turn influence our memory and processing speed for color, although it is unlikely that language influences the lowest levels of color perception.
One approach to examining the relationship between perception and language in forming our experience of color is to study children as they acquire color language. Children produce color words in speech for many months before acquiring adult meanings for color words. Research in this area has focused on whether children's difficulties stem from (a) an inability to identify color properties as a likely candidate for word meanings, or alternatively (b) inductive learning of language-specific color word boundaries. Lending plausibility to the first account, there is evidence that children more readily attend to object traits like shape, rather than color, as likely candidates for word meanings. However, recent evidence has found that children have meanings for some color words before they begin to produce them in speech, indicating that in fact, they may be able to successfully identify color as a candidate for word meaning early in the color word learning process. There is also evidence that prelinguistic infants, like adults, perceive color categorically. While these perceptual categories likely constrain the meanings that children consider, they cannot fully define color word meanings because languages vary in both the number and location of color word boundaries. Recent evidence suggests that the delay in color word acquisition primarily stems from an inductive process of refining these boundaries.

Hours before meeting with the nation's top intelligence officials to discuss alleged Russian meddling in the U.S. election, President-elect Donald Trump took aim at Arnold Schwarzenegger and "The New Celebrity Apprentice."
"Wow, the ratings are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got 'swamped' (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT," Trump tweeted, referring to his initials in the third person.
Schwarzenegger replaced Trump as host of the "Celebrity Apprentice" franchise this season, but the president-elect remains an executive producer of the show.
The program saw a significant drop in ratings with Schwarzenegger at the helm, according to reports. The premiere notched a 1.3 rating in the prized 18 to 49 demographic, and 4.9 million viewers, down 35 percent from the last premiere with Trump as host in 2015. Trump's run on the show averaged a 2.4 rating among adults in the demo and 7.6 million viewers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Trump knocked Schwarzenegger in another Tweet for supporting a rival in the Republican primary. He also asserted that Schwarzenegger supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 general election. While Schwarzenegger said that he would "not vote for the Republican candidate," he did not in the waning days of the race indicate who he was voting for.
Schwarzenegger jabbed back at Trump on Twitter Friday, wishing him luck and saying he hopes he works for the American people "as aggressively as you worked for your ratings."
In recent days, Trump has aimed his Twitter cannon at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who he called a "head clown," and the media, among others.
Later Friday, Trump is expected to be briefed by intelligence agencies about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election through cyberattacks and other means.
U.S. & World
In recent weeks, Trump has also raised doubts about intelligence agencies and Russia's involvement in the cyberattacks on Twitter.
"The New Celebrity Apprentice" is produced and owned by MGM and appears on the NBC Television Network.
