Today, April 2, is World Autism Awareness Day. The month of April is Autism Awareness Month.
Autism is a complex neurological developmental disability that is lifelong. Recent news shows that the rate of autism has increased yet again. It is currently at 1 in 88, nearly doubled the rate in 2007. When the first of my 2 sons that are on the spectrum was diagnosed, the rate was 1 in 1,000. Work towards finding a cause and improved treatment still has a long way to go.
One of the best things that can be done right now, by everyone, is to increase awareness and improve acceptance of those on the spectrum. There is so much information to learn about autism, more than I can fit on one blog post. So I'm just going to share some information about the signs of autism, as well as some behavioral aspects of autism.
Signs of Autism
People with Autism Spectrum Disorders may have problems with social, emotional, and communication skills. They might repeat certain behaviors and might not want change in their daily activities. Many people with ASDs also have different ways of learning, paying attention, or reacting to things. ASDs begin during early childhood and last throughout a person's life.
A child or adult with an ASD might:
- not play "pretend" games
- not point at objects to show interest
- not look at objects when another person points at them
- have a lack of appropriate eye gaze
- avoid eye contact and want to be alone
- have trouble relating to others or not have an interest in other people at all
- lack warm, joyful expressions
- have trouble understanding other people's feelings or talking about their own feelings
- not share interest or enjoyment with others
- prefer not to be held or cuddled or might cuddle only when they want to
- appear to be unaware when other people talk to them but respond to other sounds
- lack response to their name
- be very interested in people, but not know how to talk, play, or relate to them
- repeat or echo words or phrases said to them, or repeat words or phrases in place of normal language (echolalia)
- have unusual prosody in verbal communication (little variation in pitch, odd intonation, irregular rhythm, unusual voice quality)
- have trouble expressing their needs using typical words or motions
- repeat actions over and over again
- have trouble adapting when a routine changes
- have unusual reactions to the way things smell, taste, look, feel, or sound
- lose skills they once had (for instance, stop saying words they had been using, regress in toileting skills)
Repetitive Behaviors in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Although people with autism usually appear physically normal, odd repetitive motions may set them apart from other children and adults. These behaviors might be extreme and highly apparent or more subtle. Some children and older individuals repeatedly flap their arms or walk on their toes. Some suddenly freeze in a position. Some will hum, some like to rock in a chair, on a swing or on their feet. These behaviors are referred to as 'self-stimming" behaviors.
Many children with autism need, and demand, absolute consistency in their environment. A slight change in routines, such as mealtimes, dressing, taking a bath, and going to school at a certain time or by the same route, can be extremely stressful.
By learning more about autism, and understanding the individuals on the spectrum, we can be more understanding and accepting. We can open the world to the many talents and wonders of people diagnosed with autism. And when you do, your world will be instantly improved!

As I understand it Antiochians use Byzantine chant, what do they do with thier choirs....the GOA could learn from them.
... but to be 100% honest most GOA choirs are awful and need an organ to play the melody in order to match pitch.
As I understand it Antiochians use Byzantine chant, what do they do with thier choirs....the GOA could learn from them
I noticed a few weeks back when I had to "attend" services via the internet that St. Barbara's in CT (GOA) was using their organ only to give a lead key to the choir which sang a capella - VERY nice. Maybe this will spread. (Hint: Greeks- join choir, then agitate to unplug the organ )Demetri
OK, TomS, what about the organs?Demetri
I have an easier solution. Americans join the choir then agitate that ALL chanting and and singing be in ENGLISH!THAT would solve the problem of having to go to Greece to find a chanter.
If you don't know how to chant, it doesn't matter what language you're chanting!
You missed the point of what I was saying....once you can chant in Greek you can also chant in English almost as easily. The problem of un-trained chanters is the skill level of chanters in America, not language. I agree language is a problem in the GOA, but this is time it is not the main culprit.
Okay. Sorry -- However, I still disagree with you. I took chanting lessons for a year and although it is hard to learn how to chant, the major problem is that 90% of the chants are only in Greek. They have not been converted (for lack of a better term) into an English style that fits the chant notes. And this is because the GOA has not felt the need to foster this or underwrite the cost which, I feel, is the responsibility of the GOA.
at St. Sophia the chanter, instead of an organ, has started to use this machine that just does the ison (the single note that you hear the background male choir members doing in the background). He got it from Greece. It only has 16 keys for the upper and lower scale (Ne Pa Vu Ga De Ke Zo Nii) and is basically a recording of a person doing the ison which is constant when you hold down the key.Wow! An Ison "machine"! What will they think of next? LOL
hehehe this is kinda funny the only 2 GOA churches i have been to neither one used organs. Although oddly the parish I am in has an organ but I have never seen it used.
Dare I ask this question? LOL Do any of the Greek Orthodox Churches with organs give organ concerts?
Should we make a rule Demetri, that you have to have served a year in the GOA before you can bash them?
The GREEK traditional is absoultly amazing, and I prefer it to the Slav one in all ways. But the GOA (for the most part) has little to do with traditional Greek Orthodoxy, alas. Now if the entire GOA were run like one of Geronda's monasteries....
At first it seemed like the rule of thumb was "all vowels are pronounced like English "e" but of course it isn't that simple. Dipthongs with upsilon are particularly confusing. Epsilon upsilon I know is "ev" or "ef," but then omicron upsilon is "oo." I'm still not clear on alpha upsilon. Is it "ow" or "af"?
Here's what I find strangest of all: The GOA is quite possibly the most "modernist" of the jurisdictions in the US. They've accepted organs and pews, their clergy generally no longer appear as Orthodox clergy, they have downplayed the importance of confession, communion and fasting...all, presumably, in an attempt to "fit in" with the West. Yet, at the same time, this jurisdiction holds more foreign language services than any other. Whose idea was it to do away with the important things which help make us Orthodox, but keep the old language which helps no one? oh, let me guess...because they're more interested in being Greek, maybe?

Christopher Hitchens at his finest - some of my favorite moments by the writer who has inspired the ideals of skepticism, free inquiry, and rational thought in so many. I believe Hitchslap is now the proper term for the unflinching intellectual prowess displayed in these exchanges.
Views: 1324
That's the best collation I've seen of Hitch - and I thought I had seen them all.
I like the video too Robert.
He was a giant. His only blunder was agreeing with GWB on the "War On Terror"
I agree but he defended his position til his death didn't he? - Well, I forgive him. He has provided me with such inspiration in my life. I love the quote "Jesus, is Santa Claus for adults" and many more. Hitch alone gave me the courage to come-out, so enamoured I was by his courage, eloquence and ability to destroy anyone he debated. I love that he was pissed most of the time too! He didn't care what people thought of him. Even God misses The Hitch.
Hitch had the knowledge and literacy and chutzpah to go head-to-head with the likes of William Lane Craig and Deepak Chopra and too many others to count and plainly and simply call them on their bullshit. More than anything else right now, we need more like him to let the theists out there know that there is indeed another opinion out there, that theirs is questionable at best and a ludicrous fabrication at worst ... and that the days of superstition and myth are numbered.
Hitch, I've said this many times, but I'll say it again: we ALL owe you. Thanks ... a LOT.
Thank you Loren - I do agree he really helped go against theist BS.
We do need more like him. Loren, you need to start making some videos for You Tube. : )
Me?!? Get serious! I am no more in Hitch's league than a hole in the head! If there is one A|N member who (at least in my mind) has the chops and the analytical skills, never mind the cojones, it would be Steve Shives ... and he is GOOD.
Vous êtes trop modeste !
Let's just say I know my limits and leave it at that, okay?
Naploeon can make some You Tube videos : )
Somebody subtitled it for the Spanish speakers:
Gracias, Hitch.

We have a wide range of customers. Orders range from $300, to $100,000 plus. We serve customers across numerous industries, including defense suppliers, education, healthcare, government, manufacturing, and consumer goods. Our largest markets (Applications) are outlined below. This landing page should focus on the general 'asset tags' market - please refer 'Target Audience.pdf' for more information on our audiences.
Website: http://www.camcod.com
Current Landing Page: http://info.camcod.com/asset-tags/
We need an unbounce landing page template for the asset tag market that is highly focused on conversion. The design should pay homage to our web site (http://www.camcod.com) but does not need to be a clone of it - we want to focus on conversion optimization so do what you think is best! We'd like to have a sense of continuity from landing page to site but use creative license as you see fit.
Our visitors have a wide range of knowledge and we need to cater to all stages of the buying cycle. Our primary conversion goals are:
- Quote Requests
- Samples Requests
- Online Orders (not primary since so many people need specialized help and are not prepared to order online)
- Contact Requests
The page you design will primarily be used for PPC traffic but will also be occasionally (if rarely) used for email marketing. The page must allow for flexible heading, sub-heading, body copy and button text lengths. We will be dynamically inserting search terms and the design must allow text to 'scale' while still maintaining a good layout.
The template you create will also be used in other markets so should be flexible enough to be adapted to a varying number of products and varying content lengths. Since we have so many potential Calls to Action we are open to pages that link to our web registration forms as well as pages that have a flexible adaptable form inline/on page. Again we're looking for your expertise and guidance here. For example a headline might be "Quality Asset Tags to Identify & Track Your Property" Be sure to allow for headlines of differing lengths (twice as long or half as short) as well as insertion of longer search terms. If a visitor searches for "metal foil asset tags" the above headline would be shown as "Quality Metal Foil Asset Tags to Identify & Track Your Property".
Suggested (not required) copy and product images are in the attached zip. We have also included a psds of our home and product pages.

The Interview in it's entirety:
TBB: Where are you from?
PSW: I'm originally from Goshen, NY, a small town upstate in Orange County. It's an idyllic little village that's been around since before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I've also lived in several states including Northern and Southern California, North Carolina, and Hawaii and have traveled extensively in Mexico, Europe and Northern Africa. My dad had wanderlust and I guess I have it to. After my son turns 18, I'll be on the road again.
TBB: When and why did you begin writing?
PSW:The first thing I remember writing was a re-working of the Easter Bunny story back in 2nd or 3rd grade. My mother was good with helping me to write poems early on as well. Throughout my life I just wanted to write longer and longer pieces. Clicking on the "word count" button gives me a strange thrill when I realize I've stacked up a lot of words. And not just any words, the thrill comes from knowing I've arranged them differently than they've ever been arranged before. Why did I start writing? It was just something that was in me to do, some kind of ailment that I can't get rid of. It was and is my way of relating to the world. I don't mean to be so vague, but there's no other way to say it. Maybe I'm just delusional.
TBB: When did you first consider yourself a writer?
PSW: I suppose it must have been in high school. I wrote love poems for girlfriends and awful surfing stories which I sent to Surfer Magazine. None of them got published, however, my friends enjoyed them and I was known among them as "the writer." It was better than having to buy a bunch of clothes to look "Goth" or "Mod" or whatever. A much less expensive image. A couple of pens and a notebook and I was instantly cool, no matter whether anyone read my stuff or not. I always wished I needed glasses so I would look smarter.
TBB: What inspired you to write your first book?
PSW: My first book began as a short story entitled Tradewinds. My intentions were to create a piece that defined the rite-of-passage from adolescence into early adulthood. My feeling is that nowadays young men and women have very little to guide them in their coming-of-age. I picked it up and put it down for years and it eventually became a novella which, combined with a second novella, became Ticket to Ride. I'm embarrassed to say how long it took to write.
TBB: Do you have a specific writing style?
PSW: I like to think that my writing style is wholly my own but I will say that I emulated Kerouac, Hemingway and Dylan Thomas. I believe that by doing this long enough my own style eventually emerged. Like Bono from U2 said, "every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief."
TBB: How did you come up with the title?
PSW: I have a literary manager in New York who came up with the most recent title, Ticket to Ride. However, as I mentioned earlier, my first novella was called The Tradewinds, named for the winds that blow daily in Hawaii. I like the idea that one could follow the winds around the world, experience unfettered freedom, and get lost in the breeze (more evidence of my congenital wanderlust).
The second novella Just Another Day was written as a companion piece to The Tradewinds. In The Tradewinds I had introduced a female protagonist but hadn't developed her story. Just Another Day is, for the most part, about her. It's based on a Paul McCartney and Wings song entitled "Another Day" which tells the story of a lonely working girl. Livy Tinsley, my female protagonist, is a devoted fan of the Beatles and Paul McCartney and, since my two main characters meet on a train in Portugal, my literary manager felt Ticket to Ride (also the name of a Beatles song) was fitting as the title of the two novellas combined. Confused yet?
TBB: Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
PSW: Read something else, anything else. Honestly, I guess I wanted people to be able to walk away from this book and feel that there were no obstacles they couldn't overcome. All things can be gotten through. It's a coming-of-age novel and I wanted to, at least attempt to, re-define our rites of passage and try to clarify the transition from adolescence to young adulthood. Both characters deal with their father's alcoholism, poor parenting, extreme peer pressure, and self doubt, among other things. I also wanted it to be sort of a fun yet thoughtful romp through a crazy period of time. I believe it can be read either way. It might best not to read it at all. it could scar you for life.
TBB: How much of the book is realistic?
PSW: I'm a firm believer in writing what you know. I read a lot of historical fiction and I can see right through an author who hasn't done his homework. My characters are both ten years older than me but since I've always been an "old soul" or just old, it wasn't much of a leap to add a few years to my own person. What I didn't experience myself I either garnered through the stories of friends, or pushed myself deep into my imagination to arrive at something entirely believable. I guess I'd have to say that it's 75% me, 15% other people, and 10% imagination. Honestly, it's all plagiarized.
TBB: Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
PSW: I think I answered this one in the last question. But I will add the following as examples: Most of the European portion is all me, however, I didn't travel alone. I went to Europe with my best friend. And I never actually slept with a prostitute in Lisbon but I did stay in a pensione there. A large portion of Livy's experiences are my own, however, I made my best effort to feminize them. I believe I've had enough girlfriends, and a sister and a mother, to help me to write from a feminine point-of-view. If I've failed in any way in this book it might be in grasping the fullness of the feminine experience. Do you think that last line might get me some dates?
TBB: What books have most influenced your life?
PSW: Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, The Red and the Black by Stendhal, The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway, The Bone People by Keri Hulme, and On The Road by Jack Kerouac. Maybe even Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne. His sense of humor is phenomenal.
TBB: If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
PSW: The guy who writes Hallmark cards. Actually, Dylan Thomas literally set me on fire. Quite Early One Morning showed me that words could have a life all their own.
TBB: What book are you reading now?
PSW: I'm re-reading Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises and am finding it quite different from when I first read it 20 years ago. I'm actually quite disappointed with it in that it's almost entirely devoid of feeling. I think I read a lot into it when I was 19. I think I also assumed that since it was Hemingway it had to be good. Who do I think I am, right? He's one of the great "masters."
TBB: If you had to choose one book to read the rest of your life, and nothing else, what book would it be and why?
PSW: It's a toss up between Catcher in the Rye and The Fountainhead. Catcher in the Rye because I never tire of Holden Caulfield's cynicism and no nonsense approach to life, and The Fountainhead for it's definition of the true artist and being true to your convictions. I wish I was more like Howard Roark. He's so damned cool.
TBB: Do you have something you are working on at the moment that you'd like to share with us?
PSW: How much abuse can people take? But seriously, I'm mostly writing bits for my blog but I'm also working on a sequel to Ticket to Ride. The sequel will chronicle the life of Dylan Blake, the son of my two main characters from Ticket to Ride. I'm only half-way through it. I have a million little notes I've written on scraps of paper that sometime soon I hope to add into that book. I'm finding it much harder to make sense of the decades of the 90s and this most recent one than I did with the 70s. I'm considering a collection of my blog posts as well. I've had some good feedback there. I also recently bought my first guitar and am hoping to spend some time with it soon. Then I can annoy people with songs instead of stories.
TBB: If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your latest book?
PSW: Whatever it takes to make it a bestseller. Really though, there's a typo in Chapter 15 wherein there's a poem I wrote for a real-life woman and I included a line about having a son. I meant to change the line to "the sun" instead of "my son." Everyone who proofread it missed that. I also might have made it more sort of PG rated so it would be more appropriate for the YA crowd. My thirteen-year-old son wants to read it but, as street-wise as he is, I'd rather he wait a few years.
TBB: Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?
PSW: I think it was always there waiting for me to discover it. I don't remember not being interested in writers and writing. I suppose it might have been a disease I was born with and I don't believe anyone has found a cure.
TBB: Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
PSW: Writing, or, at least feeling like I'm writing something that has never been written in quite the same way. I'm terrified of being redundant. There's a famous quote that says something like writers have only one story to tell and they tell it over and over again. I suppose some readers enjoy this because they know what to expect of their favorite writers. I like to be surprised with something new.
TBB: Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?
PSW: I named my son after Dylan Thomas for the reasons I mentioned above. He literally set me on fire.
TBB: Who designed the covers?
PSW: I designed them myself. I'm a graphic designer by trade. For better or for worse, I don't think I could have had anyone else design them. I guess I'm a bit of a control freak that way.
TBB: What was the hardest part of writing your book?
PSW: Returning to the place I left off. Getting back into character time and again to maintain consistency. I can be a bit of a chameleon. Being a chameleon keeps me from getting bored with myself and keeps me from being stuck in any kind of mindset or even caricature. I think a lot of people become caricatures of themselves by being always the same about everything day in and day out. I like to surprise myself with some new way of looking at things. It can be challenging to turn it off and be a consistent me when I need to for writing. Maybe some lithium would help.
TBB: Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?
PSW: I should probably stick to graphic design. Honestly though, writing only "what you know" can be a hinderance. Sometimes you have to settle for less than 100% on that one. Imagination can be a wonderful thing. I might better put in a call to the Wizard of Oz.
TBB: Do you have any advice for other writers?
PSW: Become an accountant or something where everything always adds up. Honestly? Read, read, read. Read what you love, read often and don't expect to find your way as a writer until you've read a small library of books. Reading establishes patterns of thought that will translate later to words on paper.
TBB: Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
PSW: Mom, go easy on me. Seriously though, to future readers: Be patient with me. I may not hand you the story in boldface print but if you spend some time with me you might find something you can use. To current readers: Thanks for taking the risk. Choosing to read a new novelist is a gamble that many don't feel they can afford. Books aren't cheap these days unless of course you've managed to get a hold of some form of e-reader.
TBB: If you could mirror the career of any other author, who would it be and why?
PSW: I'm torn between living like J.D. Salinger and Bono from U2. Of course I'd have to be as famous as either one of them before I'd actually be faced with that dilemma. What a fine dilemma that would be.
TBB: (If writing is your main occupation) If you had to choose something besides writing, what career would you choose and why?
PSW: I'd like to be Adam Sandler. He seems to be having a great time all the time.
I find great joy in creating. If not in writing then in graphic design. So far, graphic design pays a lot better. Perhaps if I spent more time writing I'd find more opportunities to make it my livelihood. Although I'm afraid of any kind of writing career other than being a novelist. I believe novelists have the best opportunities for creativity. Deadlines can quickly snuff out inspiration. In newspapers, this morning's headline is this evening's trash. I admire those who write for newspapers because there's a great need for them but I like things with lasting significance. I actually did some news writing in the past. Woodward and Bernstein are 2 of my heroes but I don't foresee anyone breaking stories like theirs ever again. With government and all that, it's kind of been done, people are desensitized or immune to that sort of thing now. I know I'm going to step on some toes here but I think the big news stories have all been written. But what do I know, right?
TBB: Do you have a muse? (a person, type of music, location you love)
PSW: Muses come from anywhere and everywhere. I wish I had one that would never fail me but I find that eventually I have to move on to new sources of inspiration. Just like I hate to write the same thing twice, I don't think I can tap the same fountain more than once. I never know where it's going to come from, I just hope that it does. Today I went to the store and a beautiful Latina woman asked me what I was doing for fun on my day off and that question sent me to my laptop where I wrote my blog post for the day. It's all very random. Knowing I might have something to share is one of my motivations. Writing for yourself is one thing and writing for the sake of writing is another. I've heard it said that we write to know that we're not alone. I suppose it's good to feel you have an audience and that you're not "screaming into the void." Did I say something or was that an echo?
TBB: What is the interview question you always dread being asked? Can you give us the answer?
PSW: I fear no question. It may be my vanity but I love this process.
TBB: What is your favorite interview question, and what is the answer?
PSW: It would have to be what I am trying to accomplish through my writing because I like to feel that I have something to say. Sometimes I wish I was like Stephen King or James Michener with respect to their ability to crank out one giant book after another. But I don't write that way. I'd like to be like an exclusive vintner, creating limited edition wines as opposed to going the Gallo route. At this point, I might even settle for fermented cider, as long as people can hold it down. What's the old saying, "what doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger." Drink Ticket to Ride at your own risk.
TBB: If you were to assign an MPAA rating (PG, PG-13, etc.) to your book, what rating would you give it and why?
PSW: Rated R for a sex scene, some drug use and some inappropriate language.

Alfresco Powers TravelMuse.com Web Content Management
Leading Open Source WCM Solution Supports Redesign and Upgrade of Award-Winning Interactive Travel Planning Site for Enhanced User Experience
LONDON, UK June 15, 2009 —Alfresco Software, Inc., the leader in open source enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, today announced that the company's Web content management solution has been selected to power content management on TravelMuse.com, a next-generation interactive travel planning site. As part of a Web site re-design launched in April 2009, TravelMuse has upgraded to Alfresco WCM in order to more easily manage a large database of content and expedite delivery of new services to users.
Tweet this: Alfresco News - #Alfresco WCM powers another Web 2.0 site, #TravelMuse. http://tinyurl.com/kq8k26
The online travel destination for finding inspiration and planning trips with friends and family,TraveMuse.com manages more than 350,000 documents and a wide range of content including original editorial, travel destination guides, point-of-interest information, reviews and compelling photography. TravelMuse wanted a cost-effective yet highly scalable WCM solution to manage large volumes of XML content, run on a Java-application server, and integrate seamlessly with Apache Lucene full-text search technology. Alfresco WCM was the only tool to meet all of these criteria, and as a result, played a key role in the redesign and upgrade of Travelmuse.com.
"We chose the Alfresco WCM solution while in the start-up stages and are pleased with the runtime performance, scalability and functionality that has been delivered at such low costs," said Cyril Bouteille, vice president of engineering at TravelMuse, Inc. "Beyond its content management capabilities, Alfresco was the clear choice based on its ability to extract document metadata for use by our back-end systems and improve the functionality of TravelMuse.com for consumers."
By utilizing Alfresco as part of its recent site redesign, TravelMuse is now able to bring original content to consumers in a more timely manner due to streamlined editing, versioning and publishing processes. With the increased ease of editing content outside of the software release cycle afforded by the Alfresco WCM system, TravelMuse can now also perform A/B testing of messaging, layouts and images on its landing pages.
"We are proud to be the WCM solution behind such an innovative and exciting Web venture," said John Powell, CEO of Alfresco Software. "We built our WCM platform with interactive, community driven Web 2.0 sites like TravelMuse.com in mind. To hear of the successes with this leading site is a testament to our solution's proficiency in laying the foundations for the Web sites and online communities of tomorrow."
Alfresco is the leading open source alternative for enterprise content management and the choice of Global 5000 with customers such as FedEx, Fox Broadcasting and Virgin Mobile. The Alfresco WCM solution allows companies to bring advanced user experiences to their Web sites and create rich communities around their products, all at a dramatically lower cost through the benefits of open source. Alfresco's WCM allows for rapid deployment of community-oriented sites, delivering highly scalable support for rich media and user-generated content, as well as rapid content updates to provide a fresh customer experience.
For more information about the cost advantages of Alfresco, please download the TCO Whitepaper.

LOLA 3, etc.
Adrian Martin and I have just released the third issue of LOLA. The theme of the issue is "Masks".
As we did last time, we have put up a first group of pieces, and we will roll out the rest of the issue this month. The centerpiece of LOLA 3 is a large section devoted to Leos Carax's Holy Motors. The first part of this dossier, featuring ten writers, is up now. We will close the issue in a few weeks with the final part.
Also up now are essays by film scholars Erika Balsom (on a trip to Greece to see Gregory Markopoulos' films at Temenos), Philip Brophy (on the cinema of Crispin Hellion Glover), and Yvette Bíró (on Pietro Germi's 1962 film Numbered Days).
Update: Five more articles are now up: by Cristina Álvarez López, Dana Linssen, Luc Moullet, Tom O'Regan and me (it's my first long-form piece for LOLA, and it's on the Toronto International Film Festival).
I will make sure to announce the rest of the issue here as we roll it out. Happy New Year -- and happy reading!
I'm in Madras, India, visiting my parents over the holiday break, and have had a chance to catch up on a goodly amount of recent cinema reading. Let me share links to it here:
-- A great Tony Scott tribute at MUBI with entries by a couple of dozen critics.
-- Unearthing a great two-year-old interview with Tom Gunning at Tableau: "There's this quote that I often inflict on my students, that I heard from a Romanian scholar under Ceauşescu, the last Stalinist government that would rewrite history every morning: "The future is what we put our faith in, because the past is always changing and is so unreliable." Although for them it was a joke about government policy, for me it's a profound statement about history. History keeps on changing; our image of the past transforms."
-- Best-of-the-Year Lists: David Hudson's personal "best of 2012"; Desistfilm; Film Comment (released and unreleased films); BFI's "best DVDs and Blu-rays of the year"; Village Voice; Reverse Shot; Independencia (France); Srikanth Srinivasan at The Seventh Art; Filipe Furtado, 1 and 2; Kevin Lee's "Essential Online Videos of 2012"; and Steve Erickson's "best political documentaries of the year".
-- New issues of: Screening the Past; Cinema Scope; Artforum with a special focus on Chris Marker; NECSUS journal; Cineaste; and Vertigo (UK).
-- Jonathan Rosenbaum: A post with links to about 25 pieces available on the web that are not yet on his website; reviews of two recent film books, on Tarkovsky's Stalker and Ozu's Late Spring, at Film Comment; on Kenneth Lonergan's Margaret at the FIPRESCI website; an exchange on Citizen Kane originally published in Cinema Journal in 1987; and an essay-post on the best movies of 1996.
-- Catherine Grant's great, new essay "Déjà-Viewing: Videographic Experiments in Intertextual Film Studies" is in the latest issue of Mediascape. Also, she has many links-filled entries at Film Studies for Free: A post collecting the online pieces of Christian Keathley; rounding up links to Frames journal issues 1 and 2 (the previous links to issue 1 are no longer valid); "A Stocking Full of eReading and Viewing"; "Chronicle of an Auteur: More Antonioni Goodness!"; and "New Senses of Cinema".
-- An hour-long video interview with Adrian Martin on the subject of the "figural" in cinema; and his new Filmkrant column on OOO (object-oriented ontology) and cinema.
-- Ignatiy Vishnevetsky: A collection of capsule reviews he wrote in 2012 for Cine-File; and a half-dozen new pieces in the last month at MUBI.
-- Farran Smith Nehme on the French film Razzia sur la Chnouf (1955), one of the Siren's recent favorites.
-- Roland François-Lack, aka The Cine-Tourist, meticulously identifies the locations in Holy Motors.
-- Interviews: William Klein in Sight & Sound; Pier Paolo Pasolini interviewed by James Blue in 1965; Christian Petzold on Barbara; and Miguel Gomes, 1 and 2.
-- via Cinetrix: Mark Fisher has a tumblr page. Most recent: a post on Cronenberg's eXistenZ.
-- Dennis Lim in Artforum on the recent Rome film festival.
-- Michael Sicinski's epic TIFF reviews page.
-- Gwendolyn Audrey Foster: "Fifties Hysteria Returns: Doomsday Prepping in a Culture of Fear, Death, and Automatic Weapons".

-- via Trevor Link: "A Working Guide to 1960s Japanese Cinema".
-- Electric Sheep magazine honors the late Koji Wakamatsu in a special issue.
-- From the archives of Screening the Past: Chika Kinoshita's "Choreography of desire: analysing Kinuyo Tanaka's acting in Mizoguchi's films": "The most fascinating aspect of the penultimate scene of The life of Oharu is the way in which Tanaka scurries through the palace, chasing after her son. How can we account for the fascination generated by her steps?" (Thanks, Dan Morgan.)

November 2009
25 November 2009
Nature is such a beautiful thing, but it becomes even more exceptional when you see the smiles it brings to people's faces. This is something staff at Australia Zoo are lucky enough to experience on a daily basis. A particular moment that will always remain prominent in our memory was the day Freddo visited the Wonder Factory at the Royal Children's Hospital.
Freddo is one of our gorgeous Major Mitchell Cockatoos named after the explorer Major Sir Thomas Mitchell. They have a soft- textured white and salmon pink plumage with a bright red and yellow crest and are generally recognised as one of the most beautiful cockatoos. It is not just their appearance that captures your attention it is their charming personalities that captivate your heart. This was certainly the case when Australia Zoo was invited to visit to the Children's Hospital.
Everything was packed and ready for the journey. Almost like he knew, Freddo moved quickly into his travelpak and started whistling a very happy tune. He sung the whole way to the hospital and we soon realised his musical favourites.
Cockatoos have the ability to mimic speech, respond to musical sounds and can synchronise their body moves to a musical beat. Freddo courts the ladies at the Zoo with an extensive repertoire of movements, but his signature sprinkler move certainly wins us all over. So, he had warmed up and was ready to perform to the children at the hospital.
Perform, he did. The children's eyes lit up as they caught the vision of this striking pink bird and they were engaged as he performed his many tricks.
Nothing was spared, Freddo showed how he could shake, the beauty of his wings and even progressed to show his signature move. All the while, he whistled to the children creating a harmonious atmosphere.
The smiles warmed our heart and everyone, including Freddo knew that this was a very special journey.

The new Fujitsu IdeaBoxx is a fully self-contained, graphics-centric SDK that delivers everything a user needs to create a complete graphical sub-system in minutes. Crank's Storyboard Suite plays a major role by simplifying the development process with its highly intuitive user interface.
IdeaBoxx reduces the development timeline by incorporating all necessary hardware and software in an optimized bundle so users don't need to source anything. Every element in the IdeaBoxx has been designed and tested to work in a plug and play method that lets users focus completely on the creative elements of the design right out of the box.
"The principal concept behind IdeaBoxx is to provide a fast, easy-to-use and reliable real-world embedded environment that provides a view of how graphics would appear on the finished product," said Dan Landeck, Fujitsu Semiconductor America's Director of Product Marketing.
Simplifying the User Interface
One of the most difficult tasks in developing graphics for an embedded application is dealing with the complexities of the user interface (UI). Graphics designers have struggled continually with environments that require working in multiple stages, each with specific tools and skill sets, then attempting to synthesize these disparate operations into a finished environment. Artists who worked on desktops using Adobe Photoshop® typically pass files to the coding engineers for integration into the embedded systems. Usually during the process the image or animation quality changes and the results differ from the original concept, an interactive process that is time-consuming and often disruptive. The result: missed deadlines and countless delays.
"When the FSA team discovered Crank Software's Storyboard Suite, we realized it was a perfect fit for the IdeaBoxx concept," said Landeck. "Even within our graphics development operation, where our engineers have many years of experience in developing graphics for embedded targeted markets, working with Crank software was a revelation. The highly intuitive user interface is instantly comprehensible and the seamless relationship with Photoshop PST files enable our artists to generate prototypes almost instantaneously." Most important, artists can view their work instantly on the target display using the actual embedded hardware. Removing the artist/ engineer dependency liberates the artists to explore new ideas and concepts without having to secure and potentially waste the time of the engineers.
"When Fujitsu approached us and discussed what they are looking for, we were confident that Storyboard Suite would be a great complement to their IdeaBoxx series, providing designers and developers the tools to quickly prototype, develop, and deploy user interfaces," said Brian Edmond, President, Crank Software. "We are very excited to be a partner of Fujitsu and we look forward to a successful business relationship."
Crank Software's Storyboard Suite brings IdeaBoxx to fruition and certifies the concept of a 'quickstart' environment that reflects true embedded system.

BRASILIA, Brazil, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- Regulators in Brazil confirmed that Apple's iPhone trademark in the country belonged to Gradiente Electronica, which had registered the name in 2000.
CBS News reported that the Institute of Industry Property ruled in favor of Gradiente Electronica, which meant Apple could not use the name iPhone in Brazil.
The ruling applies to handsets only, CBS reported.
Gradiente began selling what it calls iPhones last December, years after it filed for the trademark, which Apple argued validated Gradiente's claim to the brand name.
Gradiente's product runs on an Android operating system.
Apple has settled two other lawsuits related to brand names. It settled a case with Cisco Systems, which was the original owner of the iPhone name, and also with Proview, a Chinese company that gave up the rights to the name iPad for $60 million.
The future of the name in Brazil is uncertain. A Gradiente official said last week the company was willing to discuss a settlement with Apple over the trademark.

The Mohawk Trail in western Massachusetts was an improved road suitable for automobile use by the time the state legislature voted to make it a scenic route in 1914. The Trail connected the towns in the western part of the state with the Connecticut River Valley. It runs from Greenfield, in the east, to the town of North Adams, to the west. Building, grading and maintaining this 41-mile road was costly and difficult. This postcard view of a car traveling alongside the Cold River reveals how the mountainous terrain there made a retaining wall necessary.

Awesome Stuff: Making Travel Better
from the or-just-more-bizarre deptI've been trying to travel less often these days, but I still do way too much of it. Over the past few years, though, I've become more and more obsessed with perfecting my "travel gear" so that I can do things conveniently on the go. This week's awesome stuff post covers three new crowdfunding projects that attempt (some better than others) to create products for travelers that... are quite different than what's come before. Whether or not you agree that any of these are particularly useful, they're the kinds of ideas that will certainly surprise people.
- First up is the Aero-Tray -- a foldup stand mainly for laptops to actually make it easier/more convenient to work on airplanes. I'm often my most productive on airplanes, where I can just sit and focus for hours on end, but the cramped quarters and the fear of the person in front of you pushing their seat back (ugh!) can be quite a pain. The Aero-Tray looks like a pretty cool and unique way of trying to tackle that, while also making your "workspace" on a plane more usable. Of course, it doesn't just have to be for airplanes either. I see this as a possible replacement for the current travel laptop stand that I travel with already. They're also promoting this as a way to take a nap, though that looks kind of goofy. (Disclaimer: I've already backed this project myself, even though I'm a bit nervous about the weight and size of the thing -- but the possibility of being more productive on planes is really tempting).
- Speaking of looking goofy during naps, last year, the really wacky "ostrich pillow" which let you stick your head into a giant pillow-like... thing in order to sleep damn well anywhere you please (if you can get over the embarrassment factor) got a ridiculous amount of attention, and ended up raising about $200,000 on Kickstarter. It looks like a gag gift, but apparently it's real. Either way, the folks behind it have now created the Ostrich Pillow Light. Honestly, if there had never been an Ostrich Pillow in the first place, I think most people would think the Ostrich Pillow Light looks insanely goofy. But, when you compare the two, the new Light one looks way less goofy. Thank goodness for relative goofiness. (Disclaimer: I wouldn't want to be caught dead in one of these, no matter how comfy they might be).
- Finally, the folks at Triposo, who make travel apps for mobile phones are offering a wacky travel belt. Basically, it's a belt that has little buzzers in four equally spaced places around the belt. You program into your mobile app where it is you want to go... and as you walk around some new city, it'll buzz you to tell you which way to go -- so you don't (1) look like a lost tourist and (2) miss all the sights while staring into the little map on your phone trying to figure out where to go. Conceptually, that's kind of neat. I'm one of those people who hates looking like a tourist somewhere, and almost always tries to memorize maps before heading out, rather than have to stand around looking lost (sometimes this works... sometimes... it doesn't). Still, the idea of a belt that guides you around still seems a bit far out there for me. (Disclaimer: I actually don't have a disclaimer on this one, but since I did one on the other two items, I felt the need to say something).

Encase hash files
From ForensicsWiki
Please help to improve this article by expanding it.
Although EnCase can import a variety of MD5 hash file formats, it uses a proprietary format to store its hashes. Metadata is stored at the hash set level. That is, individual hashes do not contain any information specific to them, but the set as a whole can contain some information. No filenames are stored with the hashsets.
Version 3 of EnCase used a slightly different format than versions 4 and 5. The format for version 6 is not known. Both versions start with the header, in hexadecimal:
48 41 53 48 0d 0a ff 00
In ASCII, this looks like HASH followed by a newline.
The hashes begin at offset 0x480 in the file.

In Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin City, this extraordinary and intricately carved tombstone stands over the grave of Admiral Burton MacNamara and his wife Jane, Lady MacNamara. The heavily shrouded and perfectly crafted mooring post is replete with rope and an anchor.
The stone reads:
In Memory Of
Of Tromoro Co. Clare
Who Died 12th Decr. 1876
In his 83rd year
Also of
His Wife
Who Died 16th APRIL 1875
A rather curious story surrounds the death of Admiral Burton MacNamara. In Westropp's Folklore Survey of County Clare, 1913, the following is recorded:
"On the night of December 11th, 1876, a servant of the MacNamaras was going his rounds at Ennistymon [the family home], a beautiful spot in a wooded glen, with a broad stream falling in a series of cascades. In the dark he heard the rumbling of wheels on the back avenue, and, knowing from the hour and place that no 'mortal vehicle' could be coming, concluded that it was the death coach and ran on, opening the gates before it. He had just time to open the third gate and throw himself on his face beside it, at the bank, before he 'heard a coach go clanking past.' It did not stop at the house, but passed on, and the sound died away. On the following day Admiral Sir Burton MacNamara suddenly died in London."
In Irish folklore of the 19th century, the appearance of the cóiste bodhar — The Death Coach — is a harbinger of sudden death. Manifestations of these death coaches have been described as black as night, and either highly stylized or very plain. They are said to be drawn by a team of ebony stallions without a driver on board to command their pace, or else driven by a headless coachman brandishing a huge whip to coax a gallop of breakneck speed. This ghostly vehicle, which appears only as a nighttime phenomenon, has been typically observed speeding toward, and then passing by, the residence of a person who is about to die.
Did a death coach serve as a harbinger of Admiral MacNamara's demise? Was it simply a coincidence that a speeding coach passed the MacNamara residence in the dead of night on the eve of the Master's death? One also has to wonder if the appearance of this omen of death was perhaps the result of the overactive imagination of a devoted servant.

Place matters: metropolitics for the twenty-first century
University Press of Kansas, 2001 - Business & Economics - 349 pages
Three distinguished scholars challenge us to put the urban crisis back on the national agenda, both as a moral challenge to our conscience and an economic challenge to America's prosperity and our families' pocketbooks. Focusing on the growing concentration of poverty in our cities and older suburbs and the mounting costs of suburban sprawl, they argue that these problems have political origins and can thus be resolved through political means -- but only if we fully understand the power of place.Despite modern telecommunications -- faxes, linked computers, etc. -- where we live shapes our lives and fortunes as much as ever. Place affects our access to jobs and public services (especially education), our access to shopping and culture, our level of personal security, the availability of medical services, and even the air we breathe. Economic segregation is increasing in American metropolitan areas -- the rich and poor continue to move apart from one another. This has devastating effects on those who are forced to live in areas of concentrated poverty. But it also imposes costs, often unrecognized, on middle class and rich families who in their effort to escape the problems of concentrated poverty, undermine the quality of their own lives by suffering the effects of unrestricted sprawl.The central thesis of Place Matters is that economic segregation between rich and poor and the growing sprawl of American cities and suburbs are not solely the result of individual choices in free markets. Rather, these problems have been powerfully shaped by short-sighted government policies. The first order of business must be to overhaul those policies. In the process, both urban and suburbancitizens will gain a keener awareness that they are all ultimately bound by common interests and share a common fate.Not simply another polemic on the plight of the inner-city poor, Place Matters provides a practical road map

Love the Cronenbergian final panel. Good stuff!
Great work Dean! "Human question marks" - nice!
Love that robot neighbor! The human question marks are nice touch as Natsch already pointed out.
Glad your neighbors are "normal" lately.
Well, I'll join the chorus proclaiming the genius of your "human question marks", but I'll distinguish myself by drawing attention to the particular bit about their one hoof. Damn good writing, son.
Dino—the way you've balanced your very realistic memories of Alphabet City (as perceived through your own five senses) against the fecund inner-workings of your imagination and skillfully managed to put it all down on paper for us to enjoy, continues to satisfy… and gather new advocates to the artform.
Dean! Stunning. I particularly like the tall, perfect neighbor.
that neighbor… damn!
good work, dean:)
more excellent work, dean. absolutely great stuff. i love (and am terrified of) the walls in particular. just gorgeous and grotesque all at once.
Holy fuck, man, this is awesome.
Love ya, Dino!
Ha, I lived right by there around that same time (though I was in high school)! That neighborhood was a lot weirder then. And cheaper.
Love it, Dino! Reminds me of when I used to live in Astoria by that huge ConEd building…. it sounded like a UFO was landing every night.
Seemingly drug-induced. Seemingly. Vivid and real.
I love the varying intensity - in pencil! This is my favorite type of art you do (b/w) and it really catches the whole "urban feel", almost like a blueprint gone wrong.
Fantastic work, Dean.
Very cool! I like the neighbor, sort of Silver Surfer-ish.
Gorgeous pencils! You were either living next to Klaatu or a golem.
Love those last words, too. "Threatening to break… my mind." Mwahahaha.
Before Alphabet City became a real estate developer's wet dream it was as depicted here; gritty, emphatic, unapologetic. The gray-scale in particular and the thick clefts of shadow provoke more than just a twinge of anxiety. Each page has a nice off-balance feel and angled views that make it seem a post-earthquake dystopia at twilight. The Picasso-esque addicts on page 2 are a nice touch. But the biggest reward is at the end; a homeowner's nightmare and the final tipping point for our paranoid, nerve-addled narrator: bulging sweating drywall, alive and menacing. Congratulations- you've managed to make the mid-1990's in NYC noteworthy.
Thx everyone for your kind thoughts and cheer. It means a lot to me.
Beautiful work! What is that… pencils on watercolor paper?
Thx, Stan. BINGO. Pencils on watercolor.
Oh, lovely! The writing is as beautiful as the art–I love your description of the sweat on your metallic neighbor.
You've also managed to quell all my nostalgia for the pre-gentrified Alphabet City.
Dean, the first I've seen of your wonderful drawings paired with your writing–excellent, yet dark, troubled. I want to see you again in the light. Visit Tom and me in the Catskills. We'll feed you well and set you to your pen by the stream. xx
Anxiety, dread, fear so well crafted. The writing is both visceral and smart and so beautifully paired with your grim, graphic yet engaging drawings. Thank you!
[...] week's installment of the biweekly Next-Door Neighbors series features Bzzt by the NDN series editor, Dean Haspiel. While I enjoyed Dean's tale of his former mid-1990s [...]
Dude! So good. I love this "new" look—even when its matched with my most hated nemesis, computer lettering. Here, it works. I visited that apartment many times, but you were kind enough to not call attention to the David Lynchian living conditions. I'm glad you eventually escaped to the safe confines of Carroll Gardens (provided you don't solicit rough sex via Craigslist). Great vignette!
So was the neighbor really a robot or was he just letting his big imagination run even further away from him?
What a fantastic and great site you have here. You have a big variety of topics and interesting subjects and it is a pleasure to read.
What a wonderful and fascinating location you have here. You have a big variety of topics and interesting subjects and it is a enchantment to read.
I feel so much more there is to know more.
I truly love your site.. Great colors & theme. Did you develop this website yourself? Please reply back as I'm trying to create my own blog and want to know where you got this from or exactly what the theme is called. Thanks!
Having read this I thought it was very enlightening. I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this information together. I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and posting comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
The AndYouMoan&GroanInWoeYouShouldaGotSomeCakeForjoey Z say:suh. wEEt :PLemme know how DODGEM LOGIC is. i see a copy of SECRET IDENTITY got into Yer sweaty palms as well–er… ;DGLAD Ye had a good 'un!
Wonder what does my neighbor do right now :v
I actually could feel my brain expanding when I read your article. Could you spare me an extra minutes of your time to address some questions? We just can not say thanks enough times for what you have done here. I will be sure to bookmark your blog because I'll definitely come back all of the time.
Great post, you have pointed out some excellent points, I likewise think this s a very wonderful website.

The American Way of Death
Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-in Dangers of the American Automobile
Safety Last: An Indictment of the Auto Industry
As so often happens, when the minds of many people have been silently brooding over the same subject, there has recently been an outbreak of books, articles, and legislative investigations, all devoted to assessing the mechanical defects, the bodily hazards, and the mounting social disadvantages of the motor car. The tone of this discussion has been critical, not to say sacrilegious. Some of the critics have dared to say that the Sacred Cow of the American Way of Life is overfed and bloated; that the daily milk she supplies is poisonous; that the pasturage this species requires wastes acres of land that could be used for more significant human purposes; and that the vast herds of sacred cows, allowed to roam everywhere, like their Hindu counterparts, are trampling down the vegetation, depleting wild life, and turning both urban and rural areas into a single smudgy wasteland, whose fancy sociological name is Megalopolis.
The priesthood of the Sacred Cow, very sensitive to the mildest heresy, now shows definite signs of alarm, alternating plaintive moos with savage bellows; for in their religion, the cult of the Sacred Cow is closely affiliated with an older object of worship, the Golden Calf. With justified trepidation, the priestly establishment feels religion itself (capitalized) is being challenged—that religion for whose evidences of power and glory the American people, with eyes devoutly closed, are prepared to sacrifice some 45,000 lives every year, and to million, often irreparably, more than a million and a half more. Only war can claim so many premature deaths; for the death rate from motor cars is greater than the combined death rate from falls, burnings, drownings, railroads, firearms, and poisonous gases, plus some two thousand other deaths from unidentifiable causes. And though only roughly half as many Americans were killed outright by autos in the last four-year period as were killed in our armed forces during a similar term in the Second World War, nearly three times as many were injured.
The current uprising against the miscarriage of the horseless carriage has long been brewing; John Keat's The Insolent Chariots broke the painful silence as far back as 1958. Only childish petulance on the part of the car manufacturers and their allies makes them attribute this spreading dissatisfaction with their product to the outspoken criticisms of a few mischievous critics, since the latter, till now a sorry few, have had none of the auto industry's facilities for commanding public attention and suppressing debate. The roots of the current revolt spread over a wide area, and they go much deeper than even the most impassioned advocates of safer motor car design yet realize.
IF THE TEMPLE of the Sacred Cow is crumbling, it is because the whole mode of existence for which it is the prime mover has become antagonistic to the genuine human needs it was once supposed to serve and enhance. The fact is that the great American dream of a nation on wheels, which began with the covered wagon,…
