David Mitchell's 2004 novel "Cloud Atlas" was ambitious, sometimes confounding, and absolutely riveting. Viewers are likely to find the film "Cloud Atlas" — written and directed by Tom Tykwer ("Run Lola Run") and Lana and Andy Wachowski ("The Matrix") — even more ambitious, possibly more confounding, and very nearly as riveting.
It's more ambitious because the structure of the book, its trademark peculiarity, simply wouldn't work onscreen. It comprises six stories, each within a different genre, set in a different time and place, with a different group of characters. The stories are presented in what has been called a "nesting doll" order: With the exception of the central tale, their first halves are presented in chronological order, followed by their second halves in reverse order. Designated by year, it would look like this: 1849 (I), 1937 (I), 1973 (I), 2012 (I), 2144 (I), a post-apocalyptic adventure in its entirety, 2144 (II), 2012 (II), 1973 (II), 1937 (II), 1849 (II).
The five split stories are a sea yarn, a melodrama, a mystery, a comedy and a science fiction piece, loosely interrelated only by a recurring comet-shaped birthmark and a thread of nested connections — i.e., the hero of the post-apocalyptic tale watches a holographic record that is the 2144 story; the heroine of that story is affected by a film version of the 2012 story; and so on, back to the 1937 guy reading the journal of the 1849 sea voyage.
That each of the first five sections only tells half of its story is one of the reasons readers are driven to keep going. The film's writer/directors knew that this simply wouldn't work on screen, so they decided to splinter all six stories and intercut them. This also helps underline the book's fuzzy thematic subtext — all things are connected, all moments and places are part of the fabric of existence — and other notions that, depending on your mood and beliefs, are either Buddhist wisdom or shallow New Age nonsense.
Does this make the material more confusing? Hard for me to say. I had no problem because I'd read the book a couple of years ago and already knew how each plot would unfold.
It doesn't help matters that the filmmakers decided to have all the stars and some non-stars appear as different characters in each time frame. Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess and Hugh Grant appear in all the stories; Jim Broadbent, Doona Bae, Ben Whishaw, Keith David, Susan Sarandon and James D'Arcy appear in four or five. Some of the casting is amusingly cross-gender, cross-ethnicity and cross-type. I've waited for decades to see Hanks play a full-on villain; and, in one section, he finally does, clearly delighted at a chance to chew the scenery. He's not his usual Mr. Nice Guy in at least two other sections, as well.
Luckily, in most incarnations, the players are buried in so much makeup or appear so briefly in the background that the confusion isn't as bad as it might have been. The protagonist of each story is played by a different actor, the rest becoming supporting players; their roles sometimes are significant, but often are no more than placeholders in a single shot.
This makes the game "Who is Hanks [or whomever] playing this time?" a lot more challenging; it'll be great fun to play when the home video release comes out. But right now, to the extent that it's irresistible, it damages one's absorption in the film's worlds. In your head, you're likelier to think not of Dr. Goose or Isaac Sachs, but of "the Tom Hanks character."
The casting strategy may be justified as an extension of the film's themes, but that doesn't make it any less disruptive to a viewer's attention. Anyone old enough to remember John Huston's "The List of Adrian Messenger" (1963) probably thinks of it as "that gimmick movie where you had to identify five big stars doing cameos under thick makeup"; people were so busy with this task that few had time to notice what a very good thriller it was.
If you have no trouble distinguishing the different stories, "Cloud Atlas" is almost always absorbing. Despite the direction having been divvied up between Tykwer (the 1937, 1973 and 2012 material) and the Wachowskis (1849, 2144 and post-apocalypse), the style is remarkably consistent. The design and cinematography are top-drawer, but due to the nature of the project, it's the editing which grabs the most attention. Transitions between stories are cleverly designed to underline thematic resonances. And it is assembled so that the pace quickens as it goes on; like the first two hours of "Magnolia," there is a sense of relentless forward motion.
That, and the narrative complexity, makes "Cloud Atlas" require more than usual attentiveness; and, at 2 hours and 43 minutes (not counting the closing credits), this may prove exhausting for some viewers. But it's worth signing up for, as long as you remember that it's an ocean voyage, not a ride to Catalina.

In reviewing Catholic publications, I came across an article that takes a perspective on the Epiphany I had never considered.
In "Celebrating the other Christmas holiday" in the Dec. 26 issue of the National Catholic Reporter, author Karen O'Brien discusses how she discovered Irish traditions of Jan. 6 in which women are given a special day to relax from the holiday work they have endured during the holiday season.
It's an interesting read and provides an insight of how different cultures celebrate the holidays, Jan. 6, and the role of women in society.

To earn his Eagle Scout badge, Ned Coltman built a 65-foot handicap access ramp out of renewable materials for a conservation center in Reading. In 10 years as a Boy Scout, he learned how to lead, endure hardship, and live honestly.
But now he is quitting the Scouts.
He is among dozens of Scouts from Massachusetts and across the country who are returning their Eagle Scout awards to protest the organization's longtime policy that bars openly gay members.
"This is absolute bigotry and ignorance," said Coltman, 21, who became an Eagle Scout in 2009 with Troop 728 in Reading. "They have to know there are Eagles out there who are angry at this."
Coltman sent a letter to the Boy Scouts of America Aug. 24 that rescinded his affiliation with the organization, accompanied by his Eagle Scout medal and badges.
"To be involved in an organization that displays this blind hatred is one of the most terrible feelings I have ever had," he wrote. "The leaders that you have created will never let this stand."
There are more than 2 million Eagle Scouts, the highest honor in Boy Scouts, and the number of protesters is difficult to determine.
Locally, Eagle Scouts from Somerville, Swampscott, Fitchburg, and Reading have complained, in some cases sending back their awards or writing letters expressing their sadness and frustration over the policy. Around the United States, at least 148 Eagle Scouts shared their protest letters on "Eagle Scouts Returning Our Badges," a Tumblr blog organized by a Seattle Scout, and more protests have appeared on other social media sites.
In a statement, a spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America confirmed that some Eagle Scouts have returned their awards, but pointed out the number of scouts publicly protesting is relatively small compared with the total membership.
"Each year more than 50,000 young men earn the rank of Eagle Scout, totaling to over 2 million," said Boy Scouts national spokesman Deron Smith. "We don't have an exact count of medals returned recently, but we have received a few. Although we are disappointed to learn of anyone who feels compelled to return his Eagle medal, we respect their right to express an opinion."
The reaffirmation of the Boy Scouts' ban on openly gay Scouts and adult leaders, announced last month, came after a two-year evaluation by a specially appointed committee of 11 "volunteers and professional leaders," and "reflects the beliefs and perspectives" of the organization, according to a statement on the Boy Scouts of America website.
"While a majority of our membership agrees with our policy, we fully understand that no single policy will accommodate the many diverse views among our membership or society," said Bob Mazzuca, chief scout executive of Boy Scouts of America, according to the statement.
The official membership policy reads: "While the B.S.A. does not proactively inquire about the sexual orientation of employees, volunteers, or members, we do not grant membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals or who engage in behavior that would become a distraction to the mission of the B.S.A."
To become an Eagle Scout, a candidate must earn 21 merit badges and spearhead an extensive community service project.
'Although we are disappointed to learn of anyone who feels compelled to return his Eagle medal, we respect their right to express an opinion.'
Jerry Hegarty, the scoutmaster in Reading, said that many of his Scouts do not support the policy on gays.
"It's at odds with some of the points of the Scout oath," he said, and, by sending back their awards, Eagle Scouts are "exposing an archaic perspective on certain policies."
He added: "I'm not disappointed in them. It's to be applauded."
Leo A.P. Giannini, who became an Eagle Scout with Troop 1 in Pittsfield in 2005, called the policy a "serious contradiction" of Scout teachings.
Giannini, who moved to New York City last year, has been working with Eagle Scout and activist Zach Wahls to create a way for people to share videos of their thoughts on the policy on Scouts for Equality, a website Wahls cofounded.
More than 400,000 people have signed two of the online petitions championed by Scouts for Equality, according to Wahl. One of the petitions, which calls for the reinstatement of Jennifer Tyrrell, a Cub Scout leader from Ohio who says she was removed from her position for being gay, has more than 300,000 signatures.
But Wahl said he doesn't think that sending back Eagle Scout awards is the best way to protest the policy. Instead, he wants each Boy Scout council in the country to be allowed to vote on the policy.
"Sending back your badge is an act of passion, not an effective long-term tactic," Wahl said.
Many of the protests have surfaced on social media sites and Facebook pages. A protest letter from a Somerville scout, for example, was among those received by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which is collecting some of the protest letters. Separately, a Swampscott Eagle Scout announced he was returning his Eagle Scout award on his Facebook page.
A.J. Chalifour, who became an Eagle Scout in 2002 with Troop 6 in Beverly, sent a six-page letter to the Boy Scouts National Council urging its members to reconsider the policy. He has not returned his badge.
"Until this policy is erased, myself and many of my fellow Eagle Scouts, scouters, and peers will work to get the National Council to wake up and support a policy of inclusion rather than a policy of active discrimination which fails to live up to the tenants of the Scout oath and law," he wrote.
Another scout, Bill Thomas, who became an Eagle Scout in 2003 with Troop 702 in Reading, added: "The first point of the Scout oath is "Trustworthy" and they're not allowing people to be open and true to themselves and true to others."
Thomas, who moved to Virginia in 2008, said he plans to write a letter to Boy Scouts of America to express his desire for policy change within the organization. He has not decided whether to return his Eagle Scout award, he said.
A Seattle man, Burke Stansbury, started the "Eagle Scouts Returning Our Badges" Tumblr site late last month after sending back his award, accompanied by a letter cutting his ties to Boy Scouts of America.
Stansbury, who earned his Eagle Scout award in 1995, said he was filled with disgust when he learned that the Boy Scouts would stick by its ban on gays. "I think this time around, it was the last straw for a lot of people who wanted to see change happen," he said.Liam O'Kennedy can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Oh my gosh...I just got home and Toby and Brooky have escaped the pen I have them in for Toby's patella recovery - and I found them asleep on the couch (meaning Toby walked up and down stairs and JUMPED up on the couch!!)...and my dried starfish in the living room has been EATEN!
This has never happened before. And I freaking about Toby's knee as he is supposed to be on crate rest (no running, jumping or stairs)! He is 4 weeks post opp now, but still supposed to be rested until 6 weeks....anyone ever had this happen after patella surgery? I wonder if he did something to his knee...we have come so far. He does not seem to be walking any different, maybe a bit more ginger, but who knows what could happen on the inside.
And already called the vet on the star fish, we are just waiting for who gets sick to find out the culprit and hope this wont lead to an obstruction or gut issue And my two always are left alone free ranging (with bedroom doors/office doors shut etc) in the house and never in nearly 3 years have we had an issue with them touching anything. Ugh.
I feel horrible about Toby - so much guilt if he hurt or messed up something...how did this happen after 4 weeks of recovery perfection with Toby?! I will just die if he has messed up the surgery
Feeling gutted and so worried. He has x-rays in a week and 2 days from now as his final x-rays, otherwise not sure.

old mouse in a robot or other device. PS2 mouse interface
A shield for Arduino boards that can either act as interface between your computer and the XBee wireless network, or as a wireless port for your Arduino boards. Designed by M. Yarza in collaboration with Arduino's team. (more)
The shield contains a SID-emulator, programmed on an ATMEGA168 chip, some electronic components to use the ATMEGA and a small amplifier and mini-jack out. The idea is to emulate the original SID chip from the Commodore 64, cos its hard to get, and have the whole interface-abilities from the arduino. The SID-emulator was programmed by C. Haberer, see Roboterclub Freiburg for details. The shield has been designed by dusjagr/SGMK and will be posted here soon. The systems allows you to create original 8-bit sounds programmed and controlled via the Arduino board. (More about SID-emulator?)

The ObsessionBook - 2016
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
I loved this book, and could not put it down! Yes, at times the story moves a little slowly while they discuss the house, etc., but I still HAD to know what was going to happen.
Long boring story about house renovation, lukewarm romance, endless discussions of
photography, interior design, cooking, and landscaping
Loved this book! Great characters and a wonderful story. Couldn't put it down.
Nora Roberts once again tells us a suspenseful tail that keeps you hooked. The romance as usual was a perfect blend of people meant for each other. You will enjoy this one.
This was a good suspense novel about a young girl who witnesses horrific things and still manages to turn her life around and find love and career.
I enjoyed this book by Nora Roberts. I like her light romance and mystery combinations. If you don't want anything too heavy and are looking for a fast read, I would recommend it.
It was good at first, but went downhill fast... In the end, I couldn't continue this. I got so sick of reading about the paint color choices for the walls, furniture, landscaping--like seriously, where is the evil guy already?!! There was just way too much emphasis on Naomi's home renovation and not enough "suspense," which is nonexistent since I already figured out the villain from the very beginning. Major disappointment.
The beginning of the book was bang on and the whole investigation process was pretty solid as well. I just feel that it was dragged on a little too much, and that the identity of the serial killer was a major let down. I was hoping for a stronger connection of 'the obsessor' with Naomi. In addition, despite Roberts writing being wonerful for the most part, there was still this disconnection that I had also felt with her as J.D. Robb in her In Death series.
An excellent read. The main character survived horrendous trauma, was saved by an estranged family member and built a tight family unit.
She moved around a lot as an adult to escape people finding out who she was until she found a place she could call home and started to build a life.
When echoes from the past show up in her new town she finds a support system to get through it one she'd never known outside her family and how the story plays out will; of course, surprise you.

Justin Bieber Eyeing Two L.A. Mansions for 18th Birthday
Justin Bieber is celebrating his birthday in a big -- and expensive -- way. TMZ reports that the newly-legal Bieber has his eyes on two new Los Angeles mansions.
Sources close to the Biebs report that he's finally narrowed down his real estate options to three houses. Two of the mansions are in Calabasas, Calif., home of fellow pop legend Britney Spears and some of the Jackson family members. One of the homes is priced at $8 million, the other at $6 million.
The third home Bieber's considering is in Hollywood and currently being rented by none other than Ashton Kutcher. The bachelor pad is listed at a cool $10 million.
Bieber's pals say that one of the houses will be for himself, and the other for his mom. Say it with us now: "Awwww!"
Those aren't the only birthday treats Bieber's gotten. His manager, Scooter Braun, gifted him with a new set of environmentally conscious wheels, and Ryan Seacrest announced he got Biebs a Costco membership for his birthday. (Uh, thanks?)
TMZ noted that the 'Boyfriend' singer went parachuting this afternoon, then plans on having an intimate dinner followed by a fancy party to celebrate his big 1-8. Sounds like a happy birthday to us!

I appreciate your purchase! I realize that some people may feel like $16 is steep, but it is a reflection of the amount of time it saves developers, the amount of development and support time and effort it has taken me to get the plugin to the point where it is today.
In terms of the issue with reconnecting after a disconnection, can you turn on debug logging (firstname.lastname@example.com? Please be sure to include the platform you are running on and the version of Sublime you are using. If I can reproduce this (so that I can confirm that I can fix it) I will try to include a fix in the next release.
Hi wbond
Thank you for adding the "SFTP" under a submenu on sidebar. Much appreciated.
I'm starting to use the package frequently and I want to mention:
Bug: For some reason, when selecting "SFTP -> map to remote" on sidebar. The application freeze and I had to kill sublime text. however when I restart the file "sftp-config.json" is created correctly.Windows XP, sublime 2175, SFTP 1.8.3
Clarification needed please:I can't figure out how to upload only modified files. Looks like "synch" browses and checks the entire server making the upload super slow.
Ideal: will be to "cache an id" of every uploaded file and when the user selects "Upload file/folder" only the modified files of the selection will be uploaded. Probably this will need a menuitem "clear cache of uploaded files", if you can make the "cache" persistent between sessions that will be awesome.
I just got a confirmation of this yesterday and I am working on a fix. Thanks for the note!
Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, Sublime SFTP provides this exact functionality, provided that your code is inside of a Mercurial, Git or SVN working copy. It uses the version control system to track changes, and the Upload Changed Files command (wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp/ ... y_Bindings) uploads those files.
Thanks for clarification!
I'm afraid this will not work for me. I work with people that don't use VCS, and I also don't use it for some projects.There is also complex setups on which I have repos inside repos, such simil and *real *submodules..There is also files I don't want to put on repos but maybe I upload these to servers.. there is also the opposite.. why not..
Is to much to request a preference to add what I described before? such "remember_uploaded_files"
May I don't understand how it works.
Some little things I saw:
1) I have on Sublime a project folder with path "\cat-pc\htdocs\"
When I request via sidebar "STP -> browse remote" on subfolder "docs" this error pop-ups:
2012-02-08 13:30:30
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./sftp/threads.py", line 16, in run_with_except_hook
File "./sftp/threads.py", line 101, in handler

File "./sftp/commands.py", line 373, in do_operation
File "./sftp/ftp_transport.py", line 347, in lcd
NotFoundError: Folder not found
2)When trying to use the function "Upload VCS changed File" this error popups:
The git.exe binary could not be found on your system. Please edit "C:\Documents and Settings\tito\Datos de programa\Sublime Text 2\Packages\User\SFTP.sublime-settings" and set "git_binary_path" or install git.
I'm sure git is on path.
Last time i used this feature (upload changed files), I wasn't able to upload files that i staged & commited.If nothing had changed, there is a way to something like "upload files from revision" ?
The solution you are proposing sounds like the "upload_on_save" feature might do what you want. In a future release I may be able to keep a list of saved files and if there is no VCS then upload the files in the saved list and reset the list after uploading. Would this work for you?
If you could shoot me an email with those two bugs, I can file it with the other bug emails so I ensure they get fixed in the next release.
I understand what you are looking for, but really this starts getting real complex real fast to support 3 different VCSes and their different models for revisions and an interface to browse and retrieve the versions of files for those revisions. To do this there would need to be pretty tight integration with a more full-featured VCS plugin for the VCS you are looking for.
That said, all of the SFTP commands are documented in the key bindings file, so it should be possible to create your own plugin to do all of the introspection of the VCS and export the appropriate files, then use the SFTP plugin to upload them.
Mail sent
Yes please, it would be very good to keep track of already uploaded files. And when selecting "upload folder/file" only modified files gets uploaded.(besides whatever there is git or not on project )It would be very good too, if you can save the list of already uploaded files on a session file ( internal if possible, not on project directories. )Handy probably is to add a "clean uploaded file cache" menuitem, to forget these entries.
This way upload command will work very fast in a very practical manner.Regards,
Hell I've been using this plugin for a few weeks and it's recently started crashing my installation of ST2 on upload. Not always and from what I can tell there really is not pattern but it happens consistently, say, 20% of the time now. Seems to be worse the longer I go without making an upload.
Version 1.9.0 is out, and it should fix this crashing issue you've experienced.
Does this plugin have the functionality that informs me if the file has been changed since my last upload? This is the only thing I need to work out in order to move from Dreamweaver to Sublime.
You will want to use the confirm_overwrite_newer setting in your sftp-config.json file. wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp/ ... rite_newer
I have done this but it doesn't cover all situations. I work on a project with 2 other people. All machines have the same synchronized clock times in windows and it works only for the first or second minute. If I save after 5-10 minutes and upload it overwrites my colleague's file without telling me that it has been changed since my last upload.
In Dreamweaver this works perfectly!
I have "confirm_overwrite_newer": trueand also tried "preserve_modification_times" with all possible values but it doesn't seem to be working like DW!
If you turn on debug logging (wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp/support) and set it to level 2, the console will contain info about what is going on.
It is only possible to detect the file modification time down to the minute - seconds are reported in the file listing. It may be possible that if you are writing the file in the same minute that the plugin may not be considering the server "newer" in that situation. You should be able to confirm this with the debug log, but I will also do some tests on my end.
I believe in giving credit where credit is due; this is an amazing tool for Sublime Text 2. I probably wouldn't - couldn't, even - use Sublime without it. Great job! I'll definately throw a few dollars your way, if that helps you keeping up the good work!
I'm confused. Does this allow me to browse through a remote directory on the sidebar like a local directory? Browse Server just seems to list the folders and let me navigate but only in a popup each time
Unfortunately Sublime does not currently have an API to manipulate the sidebar, so server browsing happens through the quick panel. If you want to try and treat a remote project as a local project you should try out expandrive.com/ or if you are on a Mac, Transit also has a mount option.
Alternatively you can download the whole project and use the Sync Remote -> Local functionality to look for changes. This can take some time depending on the side of the remote folder structure and how fast your connection is.
Hmm, that's a shame. The way I currently work is on a remote server where the directory is very large to download and changes regularly, so it's been easier to browse and edit files directly. I guess I can try to get used to the quick bar or try one of those mounting options. Do you know if a sidebar API is coming in a future release?
edit: Expandrive works great!
It keeps crashing when uploading even more than 10 files on linux/Ubuntu.

Argentine Bishop Fernando Marie Bargallo of Merlo-Moreno was pleased to see the relaunch of the Catholics Confront Global Poverty initiative yesterday during the annual Catholic Social Ministry Gathering in Washington.
As bishop of a diocese in the suburbs of Buenos Aries where one-third of the people live in poverty, Bishop Bargallo said the effort will help people "understand the situation of the poor."
"It is an important stimulus for us to see that the Catholic Church in the United States has an open mind and an open heart to commit herself to fight against poverty, recognizing another world is possible," Bishop Bargallo told Catholic News Service.
"Sometimes we have the temptation to think that poverty is a reality that cannot be beaten," he said. "But when you open your mind and heart you discover that there is an ethical imperative that pushes yourself as a person, your family, your nation, to discover that you cannot live isolated from all human beings, that we share the same home, the same planet."
A joint project between Catholic Relief Services and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the initiative is seeking 1 million Catholics to join the effort, which is designed to show that the difficulties Americans are facing during the current economic crisis are intricately intertwined with the plight of poor people around the world.
Both agencies have worked together to relieve global poverty over the years but see new opportunities to implement initiatives that promote human development under a new Congress and a new administration.
The effort also will work with Catholic Charities USA's poverty campaign showing the connection between the needs of the poor in the U.S. and around the world.
The initiative went live with a new Web site as well. More information can be found at www.usccb.org/globalpoverty and www.crs.org/globalpoverty.

Help for a friend!?
A friend posted this question on another forum.
I thought I would pass it on to the TFL forum & see if I could get him some info.
I only load a couple of hand gun rounds so this is waaay above my pay scale!
Thanks for any help!

Most of the sizing that is done to surplus "pulled" bullets is just to iron down the raised marks caused by the bullet puller. Some may actually be slightly out of round by the clamping of the bullet puller. As with any sizing operation there will be slight expansion after going thru the sizer die. It's said that the
.5095 sizer will iron down the marks making the sized round closer to .510" after coming thru the die. However a lot of people use a .510 sizer and it is perfectly adequate for sizing 50 caliber pulled bullets. If you have a huge press with lots of leverage a .5095 would be ok but a regular press, I'd prefer a .510" sizer die to reduce the force needed. If you measure across the raised pull marks you just ironed down in your .510" die the reading might be a little above .510" but the majority of the bullet will be .510". They will be safe to load after going thru a .510 sizer. It takes some force to push the big bullets thru a sizer and they may be really tight in a .5095 sizer? You need to use lube on the bullets when pushing them thru your sizer. I use Dillions case lube on a lube pad and roll each bullet before sizing. A lot of 50 people use the inexpensive Lee .510 bullet sizer die which is meant to size lead bullets. You won't need the Alox lube or the plastic hopper to catch the bullets. Push it up thru the die and catch it with your fingers. Make sure the sizer you buy has the right thread and diameter for your press and use lube or you'll get a stuck bullet in your die. Like I said, mostly you're just ironing down the pull marks but by sizing every pulled bullet you're making sure that one won't slip through slightly out of round. Some will say the barrel will size it for you but I feel much better shooting military surplus pulled bullets after a trip thru the sizer for a quality check of EVERY one. Some of them will slip thru the sizer with very little resistance but occasionally one will be pretty tight. The tight ones get rotated and sent thru the sizer a second time. Use constant force when pushing the bullet thru, don't start and stop, and apply constant hard force until the bullet comes out the top.
And as you know, if you do accidently get one stuck in the bullet sizing die, don't hammer, punch, or hit the nose of an incendiary bullet or they could ignite. Only the APIT or API would ignite if hit hard on the nose.

Great info, thanks for sharing! I will pass it along to my friend! One of his concerns was setting off one of the incendiary rounds with the increased pressure with the smaller die. Thanks again!

JJ, just don't hold a match to the heel of the bullet. A Phosphorus burn to the skin is extreemly painful. I would tell your friend not to use them because he could accidently start a brush fire. I understand it is illegal to use a BBQ grill right now in Texas, because it is so dry. That's hard for us to believe, living in the land of flooded basements.(LOL)

Believe it. It's really bad all across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona right now. I've had to reconfigure a lot of my shooting ammo right now because I do shoot some tracer and API ammo, but not this summer. It's even dangerous to pull off the road and park in the grass because the catalytic converter on cars will start a grass fire.

1. Re: LCCS Alternativestinylion_uk Mar 20, 2012 3:05 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
HI Jeff,
Thanks for your continued help with this. I fully understand many of these issues are totally out of your hands.
We do have an FMS Server, used in a different part of our company, and it's as yet not something Ive been able to look at. There are others that are in charge of it.
What Im looking for is some understanding of how I would go about transferring our LCCS functionality onto the FMS server.
Bearing in mind that as of this moment I am starting from a point of zero FMS knowledge, apart from knowing it's there and available for me to use.
The current FMS server in our company is used to with pre-built modules and we don't have an FMS developer in house. It looks like Im about to become that person
Where do I even start lol
Initially, I would need to translate what we've been able to do with LCCS via our FMS Server.
Im really looking for any help, I can with this.
Bear in mind that today is effectively day one of my R&D time regarding this, and I thought contacting you could be a good start.
We have several projects that were due to be based around LCCS services that I now need to look at again with a view to running them via FMS.
My basic question, where do I even start J
Anything would be helpful, even a list of resources or possibly to make contact with others here who are about to start the same journey.
Thanks as always Jeff

Hello Jeff,
I am sad to learn about LCCS. Can you please tell me how we can continue to use screensharing on standard FMS?
3. Re: LCCS AlternativesJamie Ho Mar 20, 2012 9:13 AM (in response to tinylion_uk)
Hi Glen,
I would first start here and check if any of the FMS examples would help:
If you bought FMS, check their forum and see if there is support for developing some of the features you need.
4. Re: LCCS AlternativesJamie Ho Mar 20, 2012 9:24 AM (in response to alecsmart)
Hi Alec,
I don't have any advice on implementing screen sharing but would this help you?
5. Re: LCCS AlternativesAdobe_ejs Mar 20, 2012 10:08 AM (in response to tinylion_uk)
Hi Glen,
I've pinged the FMS team for any additonal resources on getting started with FMS.
I'll post them as soon as I receive them.
6. Re: LCCS AlternativesiBr3nt Mar 20, 2012 12:05 PM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Hi Jeff,
Yes, anything that would give a one-to-one (or as close as can be) for using/creating components that fulfill the same functionality on FMS as LCCS would be great.
For example, what are the FMS equivelents to the LCCS SDK Navigator app that explains all the components we can use.
7. Re: LCCS AlternativesSandy_Lerman Mar 20, 2012 12:18 PM (in response to iBr3nt)
As far as I can tell, LCCS was built on FMS and an XMPP server. ( google XEP-60 for more detail on the XMPP angle )
My current plan is to use FMS or Red5 with Openfire or eJabberd. It'll also need some glue to tie authentication and screenshare into it.
I think with a bit of effort, I'll be able to reuse most of the LCCS client code and have a pretty stable, maintainable system.
Does any one else have any plans yet?
8. Re: LCCS Alternativesalecsmart Mar 20, 2012 11:48 PM (in response to Jamie Ho)
Hello Jamie,
I have implemented the screensharing feature for many customers of mine. And now am absolutely stuck. I don't mind using FMS 4.5 (Influxis etc.), but does screensharing work on them? This is going to be a huge loss for me
I don't know Java or any other language.
9. Re: LCCS AlternativesjoeflashTO2 Mar 21, 2012 12:47 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
A few months ago at the Flex Summit, Adobe announced that it would donate LCCS to the Spoon project.
"Adobe will do the following…
Open source contribution of related technologies:
blazeds.net, server-side AS, LCDS, LCCS, TLF, Gravity, FXG, OSMF"
Is Adobe still going according to this plan, or this yet another broken promise from Adobe?
Because quite franklly, replacing hundreds of thousands of dollars of code is not a feasible solution. And considering Adobe's recent track record at taking care of its customer base, neither is reverse-engineering something that works perfectly well to work with another Abode product (FMS) with a now very questionable lifespan. Either find a way to migrate it to Spoon, or sell it as a standalone product like FMS so that the millions of dollars the industry has spent developing for this technology will not go to waste. Anything less is simply abysmally irresponsible.
Please Adobe, I am begging you, do not shut this down without migrating it to spoon or offering it as a standalone product like FMS.
10. Re: LCCS Alternativesadam+k Mar 21, 2012 12:07 PM (in response to joeflashTO2)
+1 for joeflashTO2 . this is astonishing. hundreds of thousands indeed. i'm too stunned to respond properly right now.
this is *so* incredibly irresponsible. at least migrate to spoon. that's the very, very least that adobe could do. please, jeff, can you speak to this?
11. Re: LCCS AlternativesAdobe_ejs Mar 21, 2012 12:20 PM (in response to adam+k)
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to find out more about the posting from Spoon and will respond when I know more.
12. Re: LCCS AlternativesAdobe_ejs Mar 21, 2012 8:16 PM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
I don't know anymore about the authors or context of the Spoon remarks. However, the Flex whitepaper published by Adobe states that we are not contributing LCCS to apache:
""Adobe will not be contributing the AIR for Linux SDK, LCDS, or LCCS to Apache. Adobe is still investigating the viability of contributing TLF, BlazeDS.NET, Gravity, FXG, Squiggles, and OSMF.""
Whitepaper -- http://www.adobe.com/go/flex_whitepaper
I'll post again when I know more about the Spoon statements.
13. Re: LCCS Alternativesalecsmart Mar 22, 2012 4:43 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Jeff, what should I do about screen sharing? You need to provide us with an alternative. I have thousands of sites using my code which uses screensharing. Now what should I do? This is a disaster.
14. Re: LCCS Alternativesphaseblue Mar 22, 2012 7:59 PM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
I appreciate your ongiong help in trying to find an alternative for us. I think going through an FMS hosting service would be the best option. My only question is how do we set up the backend so that it can talk to the client and allow all the features we currently enjoy (i.e. video, chat, whiteboard, etc...) as well as room provisioning? I do not want to go through ten different 3rd party solutions to get all the feratures LCCS supports. It's not only a waste of time/money on our end, it's also a waste of thousands of man hours of coding by the Adobe engineers. I want to use the LCCS front end as is! Will you be offering the code/installation instructions so that we can get this set up on FMS? I don't need account management or billing, just the LCCS functionality.
15. Re: LCCS AlternativesjoeflashTO2 Mar 22, 2012 10:01 PM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Thanks for the clarification Jeff. Oh well, for a while there was hope.
Personally I have absolutely no interest in alternatives. The is no reason nor excuse good enough to can a perfectly good technology which many companies have invested millions developing for. Adobe, please find a way for someone to take up the torch. You owe us, your loyal customers and clients, that much.
16. Re: LCCS Alternativescoulix Mar 23, 2012 1:31 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Hello I am the creator of edoboard.com
For us it will be the end of the product I have no time to reinvest to find & develop an alternative solution.
However I found that UC engine may matches some of the features needed http://ucengine.af83.com/ to do a porting.
In the meantime I will prepare a 'memorial page' with videos of the product .
17. Re: LCCS Alternativesalecsmart Mar 23, 2012 1:36 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Jeff, atleast allow us to create accounts for 3 more months. We have clients who use their own accounts for using our component. Now without account creation option, they are stuck and our component is rendered USELESS.
Adobe is ruining our business completely. We are really small and now we can no longer sell our component. I'm at loss of words. How can you have a migration plan so sudden. Google and all other companies offer a plan of atleast 6 months.
18. Re: LCCS Alternativeskorosif Mar 23, 2012 3:49 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Hi Jeff,
would Adobe consider selling or licensing the LCCS source if a company would be interested in carrying the LCCS business forward?
I don't talk about my company, but there seems to be quite an interrest for LCCS, so maybe a company like Influxis would be interested to take over.
It would be a win/win for everybody because some have invested a lot in LCCS...
If it could be an option, and you announce that, we could forward the message to potential acquirer.
Dimitri K.
19. Re: LCCS Alternativesmlabriola Mar 23, 2012 9:04 AM (in response to joeflashTO2)
Just a clarification from someone in the room that day. Adobe didn't say they would donate LCCS to Spoon.
First, Spoon is not the recipient of any code donations at all. Any code that Adobe has donated is to Apache, not to Spoon.
Now, the post being refered to is badly worded. It is actually not so much a post as just a live blogging of the events and slides of the summit as they were appearing. Here is the wording from that post and I added some clarification in square brackets [].
Adobe will do the following…
- [Determine] Whether FalconJS can be contributed before Falcon AS is complete
- Plan for when we contribute Falcon AS via Apache
- [Establisn the] Duration of runtime support commitment for Flex applications
- [Decide upon the] Availability and duration of new and renewed Adobe Flex SDK support contracts
- [Evaluate whether they will make] Open source contribution of related technologies:
blazeds.net, server-side AS, LCDS, LCCS, TLF, Gravity, FXG, OSMF
The audience asked about LCDS, LCCS, TLF, FXG, OSMF, etc. on Day 1 and Adobe didn't have an answer. On Day 2 Adobe came back and said they still could not answer. However, they made a todo list of things they would do... that is the list you see above. So, it was on their to-do list to get us final answers on these items, but they didn't say they would give it to Spoon or Apache.
On that list so far, they have finsihed the first 4 tasks as of the Flex whitepaper. For the 5th task, the open source one, they made a commitment on BlazeDS, however, no final answer has been given on the others to the best of my knowledge.
If you want to see it yourself, I believe this is all in the last 45 minutes or so of the videos from day 2.
20. Re: LCCS AlternativesAdobe_ejs Mar 23, 2012 6:22 PM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Thank you all for your candid feedback. I hear you and Adobe hears you and we are taking a look at some other possible options to ease your transition from LCCS. This research will take some time but we will work as quickly as possible. I will post additional information as soon as it is available. Thanks for your continued patience. If you want to have a 1 on 1 conversation with me you can reach me at email@example.com. I would be happy to setup a time to discuss with you.
21. Re: LCCS AlternativesBARRYC16 Mar 23, 2012 6:37 PM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Thanks Jeff,
The fact that you are looking at possible options is great news. This is wholeheartedly appreciated.
One additional aspect I'd like to add to the conversation is that if Adobe has costs/losses associated with keeping the service up and running, the developement community should be polled about our willingness to pay more for the service. I'm sure there are people in the same position as myself who had planned for much greater use of the service once our products have gone into production. There may be other cost structures, including a simple rate increase, that would enable Adobe to keep it running for an extension of the currently planned shutdown schedule without that cost burden.
I'm not sure how relevant this suggestion is, but my point is that if bottom line cost is an issue, we should explore solutions.
22. Re: LCCS AlternativesAdobe_ejs Mar 24, 2012 9:00 AM (in response to BARRYC16)
Thanks for this. I may want to pick your brain later in the week.
Can you send me your email address. I'm email@example.com
23. Re: LCCS Alternativesadam+k Mar 24, 2012 11:23 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
thank you jeff for some encouraging news. it's good to know that some discussion is still possible here.
24. Re: LCCS Alternativesamma-adobe Mar 26, 2012 1:49 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for starting this thread.
Are you saying that LCCS is built on top of FMS "ALONE" ?
Or is it that FMS is one of the peices in the puzzle?
For supporting large number of user, one node solution will be a no no for us.
We definitely need to have some clustered solution.
My first impression was that there is LCDS/BlazeDS also somewhere in the puzzle and you
use that to cluster your servers.
Anyway, I would like to know how we can do the clustering, load balancing and failovers?
25. Re: LCCS Alternativesphaseblue Mar 26, 2012 7:33 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Thanks for the reassuring news Jeff! When you say "ease the transition from LCCS", you mean transition from the brand and not the functionality, right?
And I would have no problem paying more for the service bandwidth as well!
26. Re: LCCS AlternativesBARRYC16 Mar 26, 2012 10:20 AM (in response to amma-adobe)
In response to amma-adobe,
FMS is just one component of LCCS, but FMS does not do it's own load balancing and fail over.
Some of the components required for LCCS fail-over are technologies that require a license. This is another complication as far as open sourcing is concerned I would think.
27. Re: LCCS Alternativesmattcom Mar 26, 2012 10:58 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
I have been developing for a while on a new project with LCCS. Having heard on the potential demise of it, I have a few pointers for potential alternatives.
If you just need shared data (not video, not screen sharing), I really like union server: http://www.unionplatform.com/
If you want free, open source (I haven't found much on the flex side, but a lot on the server side) : http://www.bigbluebutton.org/ <- This has some awesome possibilities for a good LCCS migration. I think if we all pitch in, we could probably convert it straight across with the Flex LCCS libraries we have. Red5 does not do RTMFP, however.
Last but not least is Wowza & FMS. An excellent comparison chart can be found here: http://askmeflash.com/article/10/comparison-wowza-vs-fms-vs-red5
28. Re: LCCS Alternativesmattcom Mar 26, 2012 11:03 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Is there any way you think you can talk Adobe into allowing us to use the LCCS libraries on the flex side? So we can ignore:

29. Re: LCCS Alternativesphilswe Mar 26, 2012 1:32 PM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
The only reason my company decided to invest in LCCS was the ability to do remote viewing and controling. Does anyone know of an alternative that allows for this?
30. Re: LCCS Alternativesphaseblue Mar 26, 2012 9:03 PM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
Thanks mattcom.
I was looking at BigBlueButton too! It does seem like a workable alternative. Do they allow for room provisioning and external authentication?
The problem with every alternative I've looked at is that they all lack some feature(s) that LCCS has and which are absolutely needed for my site.
31. Re: LCCS Alternativesamma-adobe Mar 27, 2012 4:05 AM (in response to BARRYC16)
Hi Barry,
Thanks for your response.
Are you saying that Adobe has licensed that technology from someone else?
I am wondering what that technology stack is, that is used to do LCCS
We could also possibly buy the license then, given that Adobe is not going
to support it any longer.
Is LCDS/BlazeDS part of LCCS or not?
32. Re: LCCS Alternativesmattcom Mar 27, 2012 5:31 AM (in response to phaseblue)
BBB does not do room provisioning, nor does it do authentication.
External authentication is easy enough. You can build one against your own server in less than 100 lines of code, or use other authentication services like OAuth against a number of sites like facebook, google, yahoo etc.
So, for those interested, I have decided to create server-side code that will be cross-platform for LCCS to resolve to Red5, FMS, or Wowza. It will ulitimately require some tweaking of the Flex side libraries, but it should be able to keep most of our existing LCCS projects intact.
A few caveats though:
1.) I will be doing this so that you can purchase your own server license & hardware & internet services, I will not be creating an Adobe server cloud. I am definately a novice when it comes to hardware.
2.) I will try my very best to have the first set of code ready by August on demo servers.
3.) It's going to take a lot of work, so anyone interested in helping either financially or through coding please contact me. mattcommark [ at ] yahoo.com
33. Re: LCCS AlternativesMario Rodrigues Mar 27, 2012 7:16 AM (in response to mattcom)
This sounds great @mattcom. I would be very interested. I've been looking at Wowza - if we can simply replace the RTC components to interact with Wowza, that would save most of the time for developers. We could simply change the room URLs to point to another service and at least for whiteboarding, video, audio and chat, that could work. Screen sharing is another beast.
34. Re: LCCS AlternativesGustavo Scanferla Mar 27, 2012 11:22 AM (in response to Adobe_ejs)
We are using the Screen sharing from LCCS but as soon as we discovered that Adobe will end it, we started developing our own. So maybe in a near future we will be able to provide it to anyone who needs.
The good news is that, right now, we already provide our real-time technology to developers and corporations. We don't have pre-built components as LCCS does, but we do offer highly scalable real-time technology so you can build your own synchronized components or anything you want. It is easy to provision rooms / groups where members can send and receive real-time messages and synchronize changes and events.
This technology can also be used to push notifications, realtime data, live dashboards, etc...
We also offer live audio/video out-of-the-box so you can integrate a webconference to your app pretty quickly. It is low-latency and high quality audio and video.
You can see our B2C product that uses our technology at http://www.pligus.com (please notice that it this product is running on a Brazilian server, videoconference quality will be much higher if we were to deploy near your customers).
Those who are interested can contact me at email@example.com I think we are an excelent alternative!
35. Re: LCCS Alternativesphilswe Mar 27, 2012 12:21 PM (in response to Gustavo Scanferla)
When you say you are creating your own screen sharing, I am wondering if this would involve some kind of 3rd party plug in, are you simply capturing the Flash Player's display and sending it across the wire (I have found this to be quite slow) or have you managed to leverage the "builtin" adobe plugin that LCCS activates? I ask because for what I am doing, the first solution is not an option as most of my users do not have rights to install new software (while the current LCCS solution worked fine). Thanks in advance!
P.S. Does anyone know if Adobe is monitoring this thread? I have not seen them respond to much here and there are a lot of paying customers who are just looking for some kind of guidance.

Hi philswe,
We are in a very early-stage of our screen sharing development. But I can say that, as of now, the users will have to install a plug in. You think that your users would have the rights to run a Java Applet instead?
I didn't know it was possible to capture the Flash Player's display. How do you do that, it captures the entire desktop? Is the image quality good? You think that is possible to make it fast enough?
And I guess it's not possible or legal to leverage the builtin adobe plugin, so we didn't even try this path.
Adobe has heard it before but here it goes again: it would be great if the user's screen was available as a webcam is, so we could get and broadcast it ourselves.
37. Re: LCCS Alternativesphilswe Mar 27, 2012 1:04 PM (in response to Gustavo Scanferla)
Not too sure about the Java Applet but these would be some very locked down corporate type PCs.
You can capture an image of the stage but not the desktop so that is pretty limited. I messed around with it awhile back and the problem was one of compression. To do effective screen streaming you need a codec that simply sends compressed differences in the images and key frames (as the webcam does) and I never got past sending 4 frames a second. Also, there was no remote control. In all, unusable.
I was hoping that someone from Adobe would say, "Since we are cutting all you customers off, here is a way to leverage our built in technology". Since they are leaving us out in the cold, I don't see what harm that could do.

I can't say what Adobe uses for cluster management and failover of FMS servers, but I don't think this forum is the place to coordinate an effort to rebuild this or other components of the LCCS platform. I don't believe components of LCCS can be plugged in piecemeal. It's a complex platform with some components that could be open sourced easily but other components that are either proprietary to Adobe(screen sharing), tied into internal Adobe systems(payments) or licensed from 3rd parties. Any effort to replace LCCS in it's entirety would require a lot of coordination, cooperation from Adobe engineers and time. The members of the LCCS team are the only people who are in a position to put some kind of an estimate on the full scale of this.

text: Actress and film-maker Isabella Rossellini (daughter of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini) has a series of campy K-9 bio class instructional videos titled "Green Porno" (though it's far from being pornographic, really) featuring her acting out the copulations of various insects, crustaceans, and other assorted creatures that you don't normally think about doing the horizontal tango. "In each one, Rossellini matter-of-factly describes, then demonstrates using extremely low-budget special effects, how – if she were, say, a dragonfly, or a mantis, or a starfish – she would copulate and reproduce with her animal mate. In the film beginning 'If I were a snail…', for instance, Rossellini explains: 'I can withdraw my entire body into my shell, where I can hide my vagina and my penis,' then gleefully whispers to the camera, 'I have both!' and retreats into her giant snail shell made of cardboard."

The current Philadelphia Fringe Festival has, as it does every year, numerous performances that amuse, entertain and enlighten, but it is doubtful that any are as compelling and powerful as four-year Germantown resident Cymande ("Mandy") Lewis' "My Name is Sam Johnson," a one-woman autobiographical portrait of strength overcoming adversity.
Lewis, now 37, has a most unusual personal history. Named for a rock group, Cymande was born in Abington, but her mother was unable to care for her and her brother, so they were sent to Vermont to be raised by a family friend. "It was hard fitting in with a name like Cymande," she recalled, "so I changed my name to Sam for short. After my brother left, I was the only African American kid in the school. It often felt like I was the only one in the entire state!"
Much worse than feeling alone and lost in school because of her race was the treatment she received at home from "Auntie," her caregiver who resented her presence. "Auntie was a hard woman who believed in 'spare the rod will spoil the child,' so she was both physically and emotionally abusive.
"That was just how she 'raised' kids except for her own precious son, whom she never hit. When she raised us, she was already well into her late 60s or early 70s. She was from the deep south and from a large family. She was short, fat and chewed tobacco. We spent most of our years with Auntie in Vermont."
Mandy and her brother were both abused, but Mandy does not talk much about his experiences out of respect for him. "One morning," said Mandy, "Auntie threatened to cut his hand off with a meat cleaver before school because he grabbed a glass wrong."
The cruel abuse continued until Mandy was a freshman in high school. "I reported it to school officials, but after speaking with the principal, nurse and social worker, nothing was done. My voice was lost, yet again."
The long-term effects of the abuse on Mandy, now a divorced single mother, have been incalculable. Besides being riddled with self doubt, depression and low self-esteem, she worries that her scars will impact her sons, Cyncere Jeramiah, 6, a student at Philadelphia Christian Academy, and Chandler Michael, 1.
"So I try to do everything in my power to protect them from the world, and I make sure they know how much they are loved. I talk to them a lot about what to expect in life and how they should be treated. At some point I stopped blaming Auntie and recognized that my choices are my own; however, it is important to me to understand why I do things so that I can continue to grow."
After returning to the Delaware Valley at age 14, Mandy went on to graduate from Upper Moreland High School and then from Temple University in 1998, after which she toured the U.S. with a children's theatre.
"I was able to see a lot of the country, and I actually was paid to perform, which was amazing, but after four years I began to miss my family, so I came home to Philadelphia."
Mandy has continued to work as an actress and playwright, but that does not pay the bills, so for the last two years she has been a Health Service Specialist at Bravo Health Insurance Company. She helps insured clients after they are released from hospital stays. The job has afforded her the opportunity to go back to school to work towards an MBA degree.
Mandy's theatrical projects have included "Tenderheaded Diaries," "Jersey Girl," "A Raisin in the Sun" and "Life with Alicia." She wrote monologues for "Tenderheaded Diaries," which was originally performed at The Painted Bride and was later staged at several colleges.
She was in "A Raisin in the Sun" at the Ritz Theatre in Oaklyn, NJ. "Life with Alicia" is a television concept for which Mandy was the co-creator, co-writer, producer and actor. "Jersey Girl" was Mandy's only motion picture "day player" role. "It was great being on the set with Ben Affleck," she said, "but I discovered that my passion was still the stage."
"My Name is Sam Johnson," Lewis' first project as a playwright, was aided by a $2,500 grant from the Leeway Foundation. (It was her second grant.) The play took her six months to write, and it was first performed last year at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival and then again this February at Temple University's Ambler campus, where it was very well received.
Mandy has been invited to Chicago to perform it and possibly San Diego as well. As part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, it will be staged Sept. 20, 21, 22, 8 p.m., at the Tree House Books, 1430 West Susquehanna Ave.
Mandy's brother, by the way, whose name is being withheld, is doing well. He lives in Williamsport, PA, has a beautiful family and is "an amazing father." He is a corrections officer, "and I am so proud of him," said Mandy.
"My Name is Sam Johnson" chronicles the life of an African-American girl growing up in an abusive family. The audience meets Cymande as an adult who has recently become a mother for the second time. She finds herself revisiting an abusive childhood, recounting stories that are funny and heartbreaking but full of hope.
"It's about someone who wants and needs to be heard, someone who wants to be believed, someone who is at a point in her life where she is still trying to find her voice," Lewis said. "I have found my own voice through this piece."
Mandy's ultimate hope for "Sam Johnson" is to be able to take it on tour here in the tri-state area and eventually to Broadway. "I want this play to be a vehicle for change," she said. "We need to start talking about the pain our children are facing at the hands of some adults. If we talk about it, then maybe we can begin to help them and stop the abuse!
"Just this week a two-year-old lost his life at the hands of a parent. That child had no voice and now will never be able to find one. Maybe my story can help someone like that before it is too late. It's uncomfortable to talk about this subject, but we have to talk about it if we are going to affect change. Art has the power to heal."
For more information about the three performances this week, email email@example.com or visit www.MyNameIsSamJohnson.com.
Do to the recent storm, the location of the play was changed from the historic Germantown Theater to the Tree House Books. This article was updated Sept. 20.

Arlington, Va.-based Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) recently approved the addition of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) Addendum to the ConsensusDOCS catalog. The BIM contract is the first and only industry standard document to globally address the legal uncertainties associated with using BIM. Twenty-one leading associations representing owners, contractors, subcontractors, sureties, and designers that are actively supporting ConsensusDOCS have endorsed or are anticipated to endorse this standard document.
The BIM Addendum will be published in the first half of 2008 as part of the Consensus DOCS comprehenstive catalog of contracts and forms, which address all project delivery methods. The contract provides a tool to utilize BIM from start to finish, thereby allowing contractors to more closely integrate project delivery with owners and design professionals. It is also flexible enough to be used as an addendum in more traditional contracting methods.

Larisa Fraser in Frederick's of Hollywood Lingerie
If you're a MLB or a Milwaukee Brewers fan then you may know who Larisa Fraser is. She and Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun were recently engaged in November. But I'm sure many of you could give a rat's ass (including me). That's why I'll leave it at that and let you enjoy the new photos of Larisa in lingerie for Frederick's of Hollywood. You can admire the POA that Ryan Braun is banging every night…that lucky SOB!

Something is afoot at Foot Traffic Endurance Sport Coaching
We are excited to announce some enhancements to Foot Traffic Endurance Sport Coaching … The Foot Traffic Training Lab … a subscription based method of delivering training programs to athletes who for whatever reason feel having a personal coach is not a priority for them at this point in time.The Lab has everything you need to be a training and racing Triathlete, Runner or Multisport athlete. Training Lab members get access to our bank of articles, tips, videos and other useful resources, and each month our expert coaches develop new swim, indoor trainer and core sessions so your training is always refreshed and exciting. Lab members also have access to the Foot Traffic coaching team through apps within the platform and through our exclusive member forum. This forum is also a great opportunity for members to connect, share their own advice, tips and stories. And members will receive exclusive offers on our training, racing and après race apparel and from our partner companies as well. The Lab has pre-set training plans open for use, from a beginner 5km run plan, right up to an advanced Iron distance triathlon plan, with all levels and distances catered for in between. There are maintenance plans for those athletes without a specific goal or race in mind, and plans for those who are just new to training and want something to get them started. We have an Android and iOs Mobile app available so your training programme and resources are right at your fingertips. And athletes have the ability to shift sessions around the calendar to suit their individual needs. There is also the ability to link to your TrainingPeaks account so you can take advantage of the analysis features offered there. The Foot Traffic Training Lab option is not a replacement to our Custom Coaching, it is an added bonus. Our Custom Coached athletes get automatic access to the Training Lab included in their personalized coaching experience and programs. That means, bigger and better access to more training sessions, tips, articles, information and resources, with more excitement and interaction with a greater team. We also encourage athletes to switch between Custom Coaching and the Training Lab at certain times of the year when they may not require the commitment of Custom Coaching.This is the first stage of our upgrade and we have many more exciting ideas and additions planned, so we hope you enjoy the ride.As mentioned if you are a custom coached athlete you need do nothing, you will automatically have access to the Training Lab and you will see the changes when you log in. For everyone else we are offering a special opening membership rate for the first 50 people who sign up to the Foot Traffic Training Lab of $USD 9.95/month. (And $USD 29.95/month for the first 10 people who sign up for the Foot Traffic Training Lab Data+, see our signup page for the Data+ option). Welcome to The Lab!

Oriental Motor USA is proud to announce we have expanded our partner network to now include to Fuji Electric Frenic-Mini Series (C2) Compact Inverters. This inverter series can be used with standard Three-Phase AC motors for controlling speed, saving energy or utilizing many of the additional features for a tailored application. This Frenic-Mini (C2) Compact Inverter (Frenic Mini) is available in Single-Phase 115 VAC or 230 VAC, Three-Phase 230 VAC or Three-Phase 460 VAC with motor HP ranging from 1/8 HP up to 3 HP. This Frenic Mini is a perfect complement to our KIIS series (90W – 200W), FPW (90 W) and the Brother Gearmotor line (1/2 HP – 3 HP). 60W (1/12 HP) motors are possible as well.
Many AC Motors utilize an inverter for speed control or other motor monitoring PID functions. To further penetrate this market, Oriental Motor USA has partnered with Fuji Electric to offer an advanced solution to meet these needs. The Frenic Mini series, available worldwide, meets and exceeds in performance and price within this market. Fuji Electric is a trusted, high quality, Japanese manufacturer well known in the energy
management market. The Frenic Mini is a feature rich, affordable inverter widely used in the USA. Lead times are short and pricing is very attractive.
The Frenic Mini's features, pricing, accessories and leadtimes are industry leading. With the front panel keypad or free software (available for download and included with each purchase via CD) basic controls are easily accessible. When considering existing applications, the Frenic Mini can offer superior motor control and performance due to its top-of-the line Dynamic Torque Vector Control, V/f Control (Voltage and frequency pattern control) and RS-485 serial networking capability, supported by and industry leading 64 MHz CPU.
Product (Key Feature) Overview:
• 20 models able to control 1/8 HP (90W) up to 3 HP, with input Power Supply Voltages ranging from:
1/8 HP up to 1/2 HP contain 100-120 VAC Input Voltages, 380-480 VAC starts at 1/2 HP and up.
Auto-Tuning – Most popular for basic operation
Using the front pendant or software, the inverter automatically detects the motor constants and saves them as parameters in its internal memory. The auto-tuning function enables the dynamic torque vector control, automatic energy saving operation, and other advanced motor controls to be applied.
For advanced function control, manual input of motor parameters is possible by
enabling the software functions.
Advanced Functions:
Dynamic Torque Vector Control System
To get the maximal torque out of a motor, this control calculates the motor torque matched to the load applied and uses it to optimize the voltage and current vector output. Selecting this control automatically enables the auto torque boost and slip compensation function and disables auto energy saving operation.
Slip Compensation Shortens Setting Time
The inverter's slip compensation function first presumes the slip value of the motor based on the motor torque generated and raises the output frequency to compensate for the decrease in motor rotation. This prevents the motor from decreasing the rotation due to the slip.
V/f Control
Offers a variety of V/f patterns (Variable frequency) and torque boosts, which include V/f patterns suitable for variable torque load such as general fans and pumps or for special pump load requiring high starting torque.
• Fastest CPU Processor (64 MHz) in its Class

One of the nation's foremost experts on the politics of the Muslim world will speak Feb. 19 at Wabash College.
Vali Nasr, professor in the the department of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Navy's Center for Contemporary Conflict, will talk at 8 p.m. in Baxter 101, Feb. 19.
Nasr's works on political Islam have been published in many international journals and reviews. He has served as a consultant to the Department of State and provided expert testimony to the United States Senate. He is the author of five books, including "Democracy in Iran and The Shia Revival: How Conflicts within Islam will Shape the Future."
He is a frequent contributor and commentator on Islamic affairs in many national media outlets. He contributes to a blog site called TPM Café: Politics, Ideas, & Lots of Caffeine. He recently wrote about President Bush's proposed troop surge in Iraq.
"New troops will be in Iraq not to police the streets and hold the line against the creeping violence, but to expand the war by taking on the Shia militias. This is an escalation strategy. Will it work; maybe, maybe not. But it runs the risk that it may very well provoke a Shia insurgency — something Iraq has not so far witnessed. Thus far the U.S. has faced a Sunni insurgency (which by most estimates continues to account for 80 percent of U.S. casualties), and sectarian violence in which Shias and Sunnis are killing each other. Shia militias are violent, destructive and radical, but Shia militias are a very different problem from the Sunni insurgency. Shia militias, unlike te insurgency, are not targeting American troops.
"But it looks like the administration is set to change that. Over the past year Washington and its Baghdad embassy have alienated the Shia and undermined the authority of the more moderate Ayatollah Sistani. Anti-Americanism has grown in Shia ranks as they accuse U.S. of favoring Sunnis by focusing on Shia militias rather than Sunni insurgency. By going to war with the increasingly popular Sadr Washington runs the danger of losing the Shia altogether."
Nasr's talk will be titled "The Politics of the Muslim World." His appearance is being sponsored by the Wabash College Lecture Committee.

More than 100 women dressed in their finest holiday attire came together in the Grand Ballroom of the Balboa Bay Club & Resort for a Christmas luncheon benefiting the 1221 Club student scholarship fund sponsored by the Balboa Bay Club.
Carole Pickup, the matriarch of the Pickup family, who are the new owners of the Coast Highway landmark, hosted the event created around a fashion show that was all about color and style for the season. Carole was joined by her daughter, Devon Martin, and son-in-law Kevin Martin, along with daughter-in-law Natalie Pickup and son Todd Pickup, greeting the upbeat crowd that has over the past 15 years raised and donated in excess of a half-million dollars in student grants for Newport-Mesa high school seniors headed for advanced studies in universities all across America.
The holiday event was a "friend-raiser" with the intention of initiating new members into the organization, which takes its name from the iconic street address of the Balboa Bay Club on Coast Highway.
Glamorous women in the crowd included the classy Anne Wortmann, wife of John Wortmann, chairman of the Board of Governors of the Balboa Bay Club; Kathy Hamilton, local community philanthropist and activist, wife of banker Noel Hamilton; newly appointed Balboa Bay Club Governor Jane Rivera, wife of entrepreneur Arthur Rivera; leading Newport philanthropist Catherine Thyen, respected columnist Link Mathewson with her stunning gal pal Donna Pickup, and the wife of the former president of the club, Marilyn Wooten.
We love Liza
Liza Minnelli came to town last week, appearing in a two-night sold-out concert performance in Segerstrom Hall. The diva joined Southern California's MenAlive chorus, led by artistic director Rich Cook, in what was billed as a "Winter Spectacular" concert. Minnelli poured her heart and soul into the performance, delivering a tour de force experience that had members of the audience on their feet offering standing ovations throughout the show.
We have become accustomed to what I hesitatingly label "mediocre entertainment" delivered by multiple television talent shows that fill the airwaves with the work of performers who might more suitably be found in high school singing contests.
Having the chance to experience the unique star quality of a performer like Minnelli underscores the realization that there is a vast difference between talent and superstardom. Her rendition of Charles Aznavour's "What Makes A Man A Man?" was a brilliant piece of musical performance that was nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Other highlights included songs such as "But the World Goes 'Round" and her signature, "New York, New York," which she shares with the late Frank Sinatra. Interaction with the MenAlive chorus had moments of excellence.
Minnelli's close affinity with the gay and lesbian audience, exemplified by the performance with the gay men's choral ensemble, has been part and parcel of her successful decades-long career, and it was clearly evident that they still adore her magic.
A Head for fashion history
The glamour of old Hollywood came back to life last week as actress Susan Claassen recreated the legend of fashion designer Edith Head for three nights of sold-out one-woman show performances benefiting Working Wardrobes in Orange County.
Debra Gunn Downing, executive director of marketing at South Coast Plaza, was charmed by the concept of rediscovering fashion history, so she organized a fabulous luncheon event at Marche Moderne, inviting fashion press and society hostesses to join as she dressed and acted as if she were the late Edith Head fronting the party. Working Wardrobes founder and CEO Jerri Rosen joined Downing in welcoming Sally Crockett, Suzan Paek, Irene Martino, Leslie Cancellieri, Kate Eastman, Michelle Rohe, Jamie Gwen, Ann Crawford, Delphine Lee, Dana Agamalian and Lana Sills to the party.
Following lunch, the crowd moved into the showroom of Valentino, where members were greeted by manager Vicki Beador and Valentino executive Kathy Gohari, in from Beverly Hills.
Six courses for the new year
One of Orange County's most celebrated dining rooms, AnQi, led by the incredible culinary talents of the An family, is planning an amazing feast for the evening of Dec. 31.
Ring in 2013 with an unforgettable New Year's Eve six-course prix fixe menu served from 8:30 p.m. on (5:30 to 7:30 p.m. seatings feature an a la carte menu). The creative fusion menu from Chef Helene An showcases osetra caviar, Australian lobster, Hawaiian opakapaka, veal rib, Wagyu beef ribeye and winter citrus parfait.
Cost is $152 per person, with a wine or champagne pairing for an additional $53. For reservations, call (714) 557-5679 or visit http://www.anqibistro.com.
THE CROWD runs Fridays. B.W. Cook is editor of the Bay Window, the official publication of the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.

We all make associations with people based off their names. For example, I don't think "handyman" when I am introduced to guys with names like Trevor or Preston. And I don't think "financial genius" when I meet a woman named Bambi or Sequoia. Am I instantaneously judging people based off their name without actually getting to know them first?
Yes. And I'm sorry, but it happens. (And, I suspect I am not alone in this.)
The study doesn't indicate whether this is equally true of first names as it is for last. I had a relatively hard-to-pronounce maiden name (at least, upon first glance). So, when I married and took my husband's last name did my perceived trustworthy factor rise a few degrees as well?
Last week I posted Time's fun baby name predictor which helps parents determine when their potential perfect baby name may hit peak popularity. I understand a parent wanting a unique name for their child, but maybe this research adds another layer. Can you have a one-of-a-kind name that is still easy enough to pronounce that it won't trip up every substitute teacher during roll call?
Everyone has a name story from when they were growing up: I recall that it was always easy for me to determine when a telemarketer was on the phone as their would be a pause before they attempted my last name. What's your name story? Share it with me in the comments.

I went to Spain once and they pronounced my name La-ooorr-en. But I kinda liked it, so I didn't correct anyone.
I have an easy name to pronounce, although it depends on who's pronouncing it. Think Brady Bunch and you'll know how to pronounce it. However, it also means I have a life time of, Marcia, Marcia Marcia. Well, a lifetime until all the Brady Bunch fans die off.
Since moving to Italian filled RI I've now learned how to pronounce many long Italian names. I find it funny that others can pronounce these names yet stumble over the simple name, Fowler (or Flower, as the man at the furniture store says).
