The Blur of the Otherworldly: Contemporary Art, Technology, and the Paranormal
Center for Art and Visual Culture, UMBC, Baltimore, MD
Curated by Mark Alice Durant and Jane D. Marsching
October 20, 2005 -- December 17, 2005,
Opening Reception October 20th from 5 - 7pm
Organized by the Center for Art and Visual Culture, The Blur of the Otherworldly: Contemporary Art, Technology, and the Paranormal is a major traveling exhibition featuring twenty eight contemporary artists whose work employs modern communication technologies (photography, film, video, computers, radio, internet, and digital media) to explore culturally inbred questions / superstitions concerning parallel worlds to our own.
Today, the amount of attention devoted to paranormal phenomena such as UFOs, demonic possession, psychics, and ghosts in the media indicates that photography 's early fascinations have not disappeared. Millennial angst, bewildering leaps of science, wildly improbable technological inventions, and ever-decreasing wilderness as human sprawl grows exponentially, makes other worlds once again appear possible, even probable, and definitely alluring. Our escalating desire to prove the existence of another dimension (no matter which one) is linked to photography, with its history of providing us with our proofs. Seduced by the invisible in the face of the medium's relentless and dull dependence upon the physical, photography as a tool of fact (in science), fantasy (in spirit photography), and invention (in the hands of artists) is exploring new frontiers once again.
Included in the exhibition are: Mark Amerika, Zoe Beloff, Diane Bertolo, Jeremy Blake, Corrine May Botz, Susan Collins, Gregory Crewdson, Paul DeMarinis, Spencer Finch, Ken Goldberg, Susan Hiller, Marko Maetamm, Miya Masaoka, Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, Mariko Mori, Maria Miranda and Norie Neumark, Paul Pfeiffer, Fred Ressler, John Roach, Ted Serios, Leslie Sharpe, Chrysanne Stathacos, Thomson & Craighead, Suzanne Treister, and Anne Walsh & Chris Kubick
Blur of the Otherworldly: Contemporary Art, Technology, and the Paranormal will be accompanied by a 200 page fully illustrated catalogue with essays on the significance of paranormal and the supernatural in contemporary culture by Lynne Tillman, associate professor and writer-in-residence at the University at Albany, and Marina Warner, novelist and former scholar at the Getty Center for History of Art and Humanities. Mark Alice Durant and Jane D. Marsching, co-curators of the exhibition, will contribute extensive essays on the interplay between science, art, and the occult as it relates to the artworks in the exhibition. The publication will contain over eighty illustrations in color and black and white as well as a checklist for the exhibition, illustrated timeline, and a bibliography. Published by the Center for Art and Visual Culture, as the ninth title of its Issues in Cultural Theory series, Blur of the Otherworldly: Contemporary Art, Technology, and the Paranormal will be distributed internationally by Distributed Art Publishers (DAP), in New York (http://www.artbook.com/)

RJ (registered jack) adapters are devices used to convert registered jack connections from one type to another. RJ25 connectors are a standardised connection used in telecommunications applications.
What are RJ adapters used for?
RJ adapters can cover a range of purposes, depending on what type of adapter they are.
- Couplers join two different connectors together, using two input ports
- Extensions increase the range of transmission by adding to the length of cable
- Adapters proper allow different connections to be joined, such as an M12 cable joining to an RJ45 connection
Types of RJ adapters
RJ adapters mainly differ in how many ports they have. They may have between one and six ports, allowing them to connect up to six cables. They can also differ in their wiring configuration, and indeed there are many different types of adapters, from feedthrough connectors to junction boxes to couplers, depending on what you need to convert between. They can be shielded or unshielded.

Let's see... Homeward commute was windy as hell. I had to go to my wife's Dr. Appointment which was basically across the street from our place. Got home, went to the Trek Ride... and that's when things got goofy. Photo: Singlespeed Road bike...
Our group was approaching a steep grassy hill as we took a shortcut from a parking lot to a residential road. Genius boy over here decides to throw it down into the lowest gear possible and hammer it while LOGICAL people tackle the hill at an angle. Genius boy is also a Clydesdale. That means when I use a low gear then get out of the saddle to stand on the pedals, there is a LOT OF FREAKING TORQUE on things. Well, Mr. Derailleur hanger promptly BENT, then BROKE, and then to make matters even more delightful, my RD got tangled up in the spokes pretty good, jamming chain, derailleur, and spokes against the chainstay. Of course, this all happened 5 miles or so from where we started.
At first, I thought my chain just fell off the small ring. It does that on occasion in the rare cases I have to drop down that low. It took about 5 seconds to realize I was wrong.
I'd left my MTB-3 back in the Explorer, but someone had a chain tool with them. I cut the chain, pulled it out of the RD, loosened the derailleur cable, tied the RD off around my bottle cages, then went to work finding a gear ratio that didn't suck, didn't put lots of excess slack in the chain, and had a somewhat straight chainline.
Anyhow, the other riders were patient while the hacker within me engineered a workable solution to the problem. My chain slipped out of gear two more times on our way back, but the fix was as easy as stopping, spinning the chain backwards and guiding it back onto the right cog.
When I got back to the start point, I cleaned up for the first time using the Zogics CitraWipes. I've got to say they do a really good job for roadside clean up. The FinishLine wax is tenacious if not all-out brutal. Even with soap and hot water, cleaning up after fussing with the chain like this can be a chore. The CitraWipes worked really well, exceeding my expectations. They're not quite as good as hot, soapy water, but you can't exactly keep hot soapy water in your seat wedge, either. Full review tomorrow.
SPEAKING of tomorrow... No work tomorrow. I'm taking a day off. My wife has another medical appointment that I want to be there for. To top things off, I've obviously got to send The Twelve off to the shop. Then there's taxes to do. So I'll be plenty busy, just not at work.

You've heard the saying...if it ain't fixed...it's broke! I think you might like the single speed ;)

An old pair of socks in your bag will keep your hands clean and warm if you ever need to work on the bike on the road again.
Good fix on your part to get home.

I feel your pain. Oddly enough I haven't broken anything (Other than tubes) on my road bike in 20 years. Must be a quirk of Generation one Indexing and its very wide gear spacing.

Nice work improvising a fix good enough to eget back to the car. That's good stuff, right there.
You were riding on grass when this happened? I'm surprised your rear wheel didn't spin out before you could reach that level of torque. Could a stick have hit your derailleur, or something?

Badger: Well, technically it's not fixed. It's freewheeling. And no, I like my geary bike a lot. You don't know how badly I wanted to throw it into the hammer ring while it was rigged like this.
AMR: The Zogics worked pretty well, and I'd rather do that than perma-ruin some socks :D
Sirrus: I'm always breaking something. I didn't become a guru of fixing stuff through a lack of experience.
Apertome: I was on the grass when it happened, but it wasn't wet, moist, slippery grass. It was dry, post-winter grass. Nothing hit it.

It seems like drivetrains just aren't built for Big Guys. I once stfipped a freehub while popping wheelies on flat ground in front of my house. That was on my first mountain bike, a Diamond Back Sorrento (several years older than yours).
More recently, though I had a derailleur mishap similar to yours. I was climbing a STEEP hill on my current mountain bike, an old Gary Fisher, and began hearing a "tink---tink---tink---tink" sound. suddenly, instead of the rhythmic "tink" I heard a loud "crack". I stopped and found that the derailleur had been torn from the bike and the hanger was twisted about 45 degrees, mounting bolt still in place. I had no chain tool, so luckily I wasn't far from home.
Upon closer inspection, it looks as though one of the plates of the chain had pulled apart, but not let go. It made the "tink" sound as it passed through the derailleur cage until it finally deformed enough to grab on. Luckily, the Fisher is an old steel Hoo Koo E Koo and was good as new after a little torquing on the hanger.
Geez, long post. Sorry.

Do you remember the Bug's Bunny cartoon where he pops out of the ground
in the middle of the desert and says "I think that I should have turned
left at Albuquerque"?
Mistakes always happen; some because of stupidity, some because of greed;
some because the required knowledge was not available, and some because
we are just human beings.
We are currently experiencing a great many security problems due to
The basic computer design that makes this possible has a common program
and data buss. Hackers can cause their program to be loaded on the target
machine via this common buss.
In the late 1970's, there was a different computer design, the Harvard
Architecture with separate data and program busses. This architecture
cannot be hacked.
About 1985, the microprocessor became practical and the Harvard
Architecture became obsolete.
"Did we turn right at Albuquerque in error"? I believe so. Could
have avoided it? I think not. We could not have predict the future.
Should we re-vitalize the Harvard Architecture? I think the benefits
would greatly out-weigh the costs.

Watch the book trailer! (0:52)
First in an all-new series of mysteries that could happen only in Tokyo…
A young woman is found dead in an abandoned car, with a pair of strangers old enough to be her parents. Their suicide note apologizes for a disaster that hasn't yet happened. And someone is stalking the websites where lost souls go to make a date with death.
The more part-time English translator Yumi Hata learns about how her friend Rika died, the more she's convinced it was murder, and she plans to camp on Tokyo Detective Kenji Nakamura's doorstep until he agrees to help her hunt down the truth.
The evidence leads them deep into a maze of secret identities and underground clubs, where membership may have been the victims' last mistake. As they cut through the layers of lies and illusion, the only thing that's certain is that more will die unless they catch the killer who is targeting Tokyo's most desperate misfits.

Looking for love has never been more costly…or more deadly.
The #1 hostboy at Club Nova makes a handsome living, whispering sweet nothings in the ears of women who pay him a fortune for the privilege. But the party's over when Tokyo Detective Kenji Nakamura is assigned to investigate the death of one of Hoshi's customers, a young woman found dead after spending an evening with him.
While tracking down witnesses in Tokyo's red light district, Kenji crosses paths with his childhood friend Yumi Hata, who is trying to rescue her best friend from a host club entanglement. Yumi agrees to slip behind closed doors – where no men are allowed – to help Kenji catch the predator who's picking off Tokyo's loneliest women, one by one.
As they follow the killer's trail deep into a world where everyone has their price, they soon discover that everyone also has secrets they might kill to protect.

Fans worshipped her. The tabloids loved her. Fame stalked her, even beyond the grave…
A Japanese pop star is swept away in the tsunami following a devastating earthquake, and her fans erupt in a frenzy of mourning. In the wake of the disaster, Detective Kenji Nakamura is sent to investigate a death at a local shrine, but amid the rubble he finds evidence that suggests the impossible: How could the head priest have been murdered by the dead idol?
It doesn't help that the star's body is still missing, and Kenji's childhood friend Yumi Hata refuses to believe that her favorite artist is dead. She launches her own investigation to convince Kenji he's on the wrong track. But by the time their race for the truth lands them backstage at a sold-out memorial concert for the dead guitarist, the one thing they've both learned is just how quickly the hunters can become the hunted.

Nine years. Nine death anniversaries. Tomorrow will be the tenth. He always comes to the graveyard early, so he won't cross paths with her family.
He always comes on the day he killed her.
When Tokyo Detective Kenji Nakamura's phone rings with the news that his mother's death ten years ago wasn't an accident, his world begins to unravel. New evidence links her to a young woman, whose body was found dolled up like a movie star and tossed in the gutter like an abandoned plaything.
With the help of part-time English translator Yumi Hata, Kenji begins to piece together what really happened the night his mother died. But the closer he gets to discovering who killed the Painted Doll, the more he fears that the truth will destroy all that's left of his fractured family.

Prince Harry's Angry Birds Hat Ruffles Feathers
Prince Harry appears to be back to his usual antics and was spotted wearing an angry bird on his head during a playful game at the Womad world music festival.
The Prince was spotted on Saturday during a playful game of ping pong as he and a companion both donned matching Angry Bird hats. He attended the 30th anniversary of the music festival alongside Cressida Bonas, 23, his cousin Princess Beatrice, and her boyfriend Jack Brooksbank. The Angry Bird hat resembled that of the birds that have become famous through the smart phone game. Some users however, were offended by the prince's jest.
"Are we paying them to be court jesters or sit on thrones and look regal? If they are just like everyone else then stop paying them because anyone can do this," Julie from Wales asked on the Mail Online blog.
Harry is allegedly now dating Bonas, according to reports, which have stated that the pair has been spotted out together more than once.

Manicure Monday: Sangria Nails with Bootie Babe Polish
Happy Manicure Monday! I bought some super duper adorable fruit nail art at Sally Beauty Supply last week, and I HAD to incorporate it in today's Mani Monday feature. I decided to rock a sangria look—because hey, the temps are rising, and mama's gettin' thirsty up in herrr.
I used 2 coats of Bootie Babe's Cushy Tushy vegan and cruelty-free polish (perfect plum/red wine-y color), and I topped it off with a strawberry half, a slice of lemon, and a slice of lime! BOOM! It's a juicy delight that just makes my eyeballs happy every time I glance at my digits. 🙂
Which vegan and cruelty free nail polish are you wearing this week?

How fun! Such a gorgeous color!

RickI wrote:Repost from Kent Marinkovic of Adventure Sports Miami:
"While I'm normally a Bimini guy (and still am), I like to get off the beaten path from time to time. I've been to many, many of the out islands of the Bahamas including the Abacos, Eleuthera, Bimini, Cat Island, Mores, and many more. I'd guess that I spend my time pretty evenly split between fishing, kiting, spearing, and exploring. Having traveled the Bahamas often, I find myself becoming more enamored with the Berry Islands, most notably Great Harbour Cay every time I go. I believe that it is truly the closest, "real" out island to my home port of Miami. What it misses in waves, it makes up for in feel and its proximity to Miami.
The photos below are compiled from 2 separate trips to GHC. During a summer spear and tuna trip aboard Sleepwalker, we made our way south toward Hoffman's and Ambergris Cays. At that point, I knew that I would have to visit this area during the windy season and down wind from GHC to Ambergris on my kite. As luck would have it, plans came together over New Years and my friends and I were able to make the hop over on a cool little Cherokee Six. Although the tide was much lower than I would have liked and the wind was a touch too much to the left, the ride was amazing!
I hope that you enjoy the pics. If you are ever looking for something new, take a bet on GHC. You won't be disappointed! Enjoy!!!
A kite mounted Go Pro shot of the small dotted islands and clear blue channels just south of Ambergris Cay
The famous Blue hole at Hoffman's Cay. It's about a 20 ft. dive from the top into the hole. Summer relaxing at its finest!
We had poor visibility during our first trip due to a previous storm, but we still managed to pick up a few nice fish and bugs
The South exit from Hoffman's going East to the deep water was amazing. We could have spend our entire time in this area
We had a killer pad in the Marina. Very unique and quite comfortable
Had the tide been higher and the winds more from the East, riding in the middle flats would have been a treat... it wasn't bad in any case!
