|Why Conventional Mesh Networks Dont Scale
|2004-05-29 14:36:50
As founder and CTO of a Wireless Mesh networking company, I have pondered long and hard about whether or not I should write this article.
Showing messages 1 through 1 of 1.
Why Conventional Mesh Networks Dont Scale
2005-11-18 11:23:48 clone1701 [View]
In this model, it seems you assuming that the wireless access points are arranged in a strict hierarchy, based on locality. Does it follow, then, that your model assumes that wireless mesh access points would then connect to a single wlan to lan bridge (not so ad hoc anymore)? This seems to be the take Cisco is using for their Aeronet 1500 series mesh offering.
My question is, wouldn't aggregate bandwidth increase considerably if there were an even mix of strict wlan routers in addition to wired routers which could also function as wireless access points? In that scenario, since the 'top' end is in fact many different routers instead of just one large scale router, would not that effectively reduce the distance for anyone in terms of wireless hops? Furthermore, what about nonstandard routing algorithms which allow for multiple simultaneous paths based on demand? E.g. low priority transmissions (say ones that require a limited threshold of bandwidth, say like one a hand-held e-mail device might use) could be directed over longer paths to allow more demanding transmissions to take a shorter route?
I'm throwing this out there strictly from the position of network theory, but I can't see why such a solution isn't feasible, at least conceptually.

South east Cornwall legend holds that before the beginning of large scale mining in the area, the local landscape was littered with tors and outcrops, large and small, a world of climbing potential lost even before the sport was born. Armed with this new offering from The St Ives Printing & Publishing Company it's clear that despite the industrial carnage (and on occasion because of it) more than enough climbing remains in south east Cornwall, with arguably a far greater diversity of styles and venues than in any other corner of the county. For those familiar with the neighbouring delights of Devon the areas are perhaps comparable in terms of range of experience where traditional and sport climbing, deep water soloing and bouldering can all be found across the sea-cliffs, outcrops, moorland tors and woods of the area. It's just that, until now you couldn't find the bloody stuff!

More info about Cheesewring And South East Cornwall: A Climbers' Guide
Sean Hawken's 1st edition (1998) of Cheesewring and South East Cornwall set the scene, but to some extent was a victim of its time. The following years' booming interest in bouldering and deep water soloing and the continuing development of Cheesewring and neighbouring quarries as sport climbing venues has - through no fault of its own - left the 1st edition looking a bit dated and not to mention unavailable.Happily now Barnaby Carver and Sean Hawken have under the editorship of Toni Carver, pulled off a huge effort to fill that void with this the second edition of the guide. The result is as you would expect from two authors so well acquainted with Cornish climbing, an authoritative guidebook brimming with full colour photos and photo-topos throughout its 288 pages, clear descriptions, an extensive historical chapter and a few surprises. Despite a thriving local scene, south east Cornwall is often overlooked by the broader climbing public. This is due in part to lack of knowledge of existing routes and often simply because of the difficulty in finding one's way around – as unlike other areas of the county the venues are not always obvious. Several members of a voluntary woodland group remarked that they had absolutely no idea that climbing (a full six venues' worth) existed in the woods that they help to manage. If this was the situation amongst locals, then what chance did visitors have? This is where Cheesewring & South East Cornwall: A Climbers' Guide comes into its own. Gone is the necessity to trawl through a number of different web-pages to find new climbs or to cross reference hastily drawn diagrams with OS maps just to find the crag. Previously hard-to-find venues such as Carmears Rocks and Devil's Jump have had their approaches completely reviewed which together with the inclusion of detailed maps for every approach should eliminate the problem entirely.
So what is there to climb once you've actually found the venues?All the routes long established prior to the previous guide are included, from three star classics to no-star looseness, along with over 100 new routes and problems throughout the area. From easy to E6, F5+ to F7c, V0 toV9, XS and A3, it's all here. Trad shuffling sits side-by-side on the page with pushy new sports climbs and sea cliffs seem to have washed up overnight like so many beached whales. This is of course due in part to the steady attrition of climber versus rock in the area over the past 14 years but also thanks to the inclusion of previously unpublished details of historical routes in the area, most notably at places like Rame Head and Downderry. Lovers of the north coast adventure will not be disappointed here by the look of it. The guide's coverage of perennial bouldering favourite Helman Tor has had a full revamp and now features every worthwhile problem and variation with a grade range to keep most folk occupied for many an evening session. Aerial topos have been used to good effect with a great degree of accuracy and are particularly suitable for the complex nature of the ground here. Given its enduring popularity, it's only fitting then that the coverage in the second edition is as extensive as it is. Gone are the English tech only grades and the hedge-your-bets + symbol, in favour of V-gradings. Helman Tor has matured into a venue comparable with any of Dartmoor's best. Nearby Bodmin Moor's Trewortha and Kilmar Tors amongst others have had their bouldering and many of their ego-bruising routes documented for the very first time. Some of the lines here are stunning, and equal to the quality found at more established venues hereabouts. Whilst Bodmin Moor is not nearly as extensive as Dartmoor there is clearly a lot on offer and more potential surely remains? Staff at a local gear shop recently commented that their most asked for climbing guide was the nonexistent Cornwall Bouldering Guide. Whilst Cheesewring and South East Cornwall in no way claims to be this guide, it does go some way to fulfil that remit for this corner of the county, which for an essentially route based guidebook is some achievement. The area can now be considered as a worthwhile bouldering destination in its own right, from the multiple starred, reasonably graded, but pumpy classics of Downderry to the finger shredding V7s 8s and 9s of Helman Tor. Likewise, requests for Cornish deep water soloing venues are often met with mutterings about being in the wrong county, with such a long coast anyone familiar with the area would have found this surprising and with good reason it seems. Fill your sea boots at Nare Head and Pencarrow Head, with plentiful S0s at both venues it needn't be stressful, although it may feel it on the abseil in. For many the inclusion of Cheesewring Quarry will be the major motivation for buying this guide. At one time, a successful visit to this fantastic venue was largely reliant on local knowledge, with visiting climbers left pondering where lines of bolts led and what were the difficulties encountered en route. This premier venue has now been fully accounted for, with no less than 139 routes documented; trad, bouldering and the big draw for many, Cornish sport climbing! So what of the cons? Well, not much really. The guide's dimensions may be a little too large for some as at 135 x 190 mm, it doesn't fit easily in your pocket. Then again similar formats haven't done other publishers any harm and with the largely single pitch nature of the climbing, more often than not this shouldn't be a problem. Some of the inclusions are probably something of an acquired taste. You'd have to be a real enthusiast, (or desperate tourist!) to travel to visit Chapel Cliff for example. However, since this is a definitive guidebook, its omission would have been even stranger and the historical context that this chapter provides more than makes up for the lack of worthwhile climbing here. Some of the more comical quirks of the original guide have been scaled back, although the useful NP, PP, AP, WP acronyms remain for the protection on routes at Cheesewring quarry, likewise look out for the amusing Plymouth 5c scale in the bouldering grade table – covering a multitude of sins it seems. In all this is a well researched and presented modern guidebook, whether at home flicking through the glossy full page photos in your armchair or navigating your way around the autumn mists of Roughtor. The breadth and detail of the coverage is all the more laudable with an authorship and editorial team of just three dedicated locals – a true labour of love. So next time you're A30 westbound, arm yourself with this guide and on occasion a machete and take some time to experience some of the best routes in the county in some of its most stunning locations, the best weather in the south guaranteed and not a queue in sight - yet.
About Tom Last
Tom Last is probably the most excuse prone climber in Cornwall. An exiled Londoner, he is most often found covered in leeches, wandering the woods and moorland alone so that he doesn't actually have to climb anything. He is responsible for a number of insignificant climbs in the area, plus a couple of good'uns.

"A PA without a walkie is a talking sandbag." – Unknown AD
As a PA, you are going to be on the walkie a lot. You will quickly find that there is a certain "walkie lingo" that you must learn, if you don't want to look and sound like a complete retard. Let me attempt to explain how some of this works. It's pretty straightforward. Also be sure to check out Set Lingo.
When you first get your walkie: If you are given a headset, plug it in. Turn the walkie on. You do this by turning the nob on top. Make sure you are on the right channel. Usually, you will be on channel 1, but be sure to check with your supervisor to confirm this. Hit the talk button and say: "Radio Check" or "Walkie Check". Someone will then respond: "Good Check" or "Check". This means everything is working properly. If you hear nothing, something isn't working.
Channels: Different departments can be on different channels, but the main channel will most likely be channel 1. Channel 2 is usually left open for one-on-one conversation. If you need to have a private conversation, or a conversation that lasts more than a few seconds, you should issue (or will be issued) the following instruction: "Switch to 2." Then, you (or the person you're speaking with) should respond with: "Switching" or "Copy, switching to 2." When the private conversation is over, one of you should issue the term: "Back to 1" to which the other person should respond with: "Copy that, switching back to 1." The reason it's done this way, is because only one person can be speaking on a channel, at a time. You don't want to be jamming up a main channel that people need, and you don't want to annoy people with conversations that they don't want to hear.
(Also, on that note – No goofing off over the walkie. Unless you want the AD to take it away from you, and make you look like a child in front of the whole crew.)
Frequently check to make sure you are on the right channel, and that your walkie is still working properly. If you don't hear anything over the radio for a long time, you should probably do a walkie check.
Remember to keep fresh batteries on you or somewhere close – at all times!
"Does anyone have eyes on _____" – Term used when trying to find someone who doesn't have a walkie.
"____ to ____" – Term used when requesting someone's attention: "John to Bill."
"Go for _____" – Term used when acknowledging a request: "Go for Bill."
"Copy/Copy that" – Term used t0 indicate that you understand the instructions, or tasks you've been given. Make sure to respond EVERY TIME, that way people know you actually heard them.
"10-1" – Term used when someone is in the restroom.
"What's your 20?" – Term used when attempting to locate someone: "Bill, what's your 20?"
"Flying in" – Term used when bringing someone, or something, to the set. The someone/something "flies in".
These are some of the more frequently used "walkie lingo" terms.
If anyone else has more on set walkie lingo let me know and I'll add it to the list!

Having your own residency in Las Vegas seems to be the latest pop music status symbol, with everyone from Britney Spears , Cee Lo Green and Boyz II Men scoring their own Sin City shows in the wake of the success of Celine Dion and Elton John 's extravaganzas. Now, word has it that the next star to hit the Vegas trip will be... Bruno Mars .
Robin Leach of the Las Vegas Sun reports that Bruno is "definitely" coming to Vegas for what Leach describes as a "mini-residency." According to Leach, he'll headline one of two new theaters that the Cosmopolitan Hotel will open by New Year's Eve. He'll do 15 to 20 shows at a time, and the whole plan will reportedly be announced this Saturday night.
There are no details on when the shows will begin, or for how many years Bruno will be doing them. All we know is that he definitely won't be doing a show on February 2 -- he's got a date with about 100 million TV viewers, as he performs during the halftime show at the Super Bowl in New Jersey.

DOJ Threatens Apple, Book Publishers with Lawsuit Regarding E-Book Sales

Apple and five book publishers were using an agency sales model that raised the prices of e-books
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is planning to launch a lawsuit against Apple and five U.S. publishers for allegedly conspiring to raise e-book prices through an agency sales model.
Last December, the
European Commission opened a formal antitrust investigation
into whether five international e-book publishers had been practicing anti-competitive tactics with the help of Apple and its e-book store iBooks. Shortly after, the U.S. Justice Department climbed aboard the investigation as well.
After investigating the suspicious tactics, the DOJ has now warned Apple and the five book publishers that it plans to sue them for raising the prices of e-books. The five book publishers involved are
Hachette Livre (Lagardère Publishing France), Harper Collins (News Corp., U.S.A.), Simon & Schuster (CBS Corp., U.S.A.), Penguin (Pearson Group, United Kingdom) and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holzbrinck (owner of inter alia Macmillan, Germany).
Traditionally, publishers sell physical books to retailers for about half of the cover price, which is considered a wholesale model. Retailers then had the power to sell those books to customers for a lower price if they wanted to.
However, the e-book industry rocked this model and rubbed publishers the wrong way. Amazon started selling best sellers for as low as $9.99 in an effort to encourage Kindle sales. When Apple came along with iBooks, publishers were worried that the tech giant would take over the book industry the way it did the music industry with iTunes.
Apple then struck a deal with publishers in 2010, where they'd settle on an agency model instead. The agency model allowed publishers to set the price of the book and Apple would receive a 30 percent cut. However, publishers were not allowed to let rivals sell
the same book
for a lower price.
According to the DOJ, Apple and the five publishers did this to raise the prices of e-books, which violates federal antitrust laws. The publishers reacted to these claims, saying that the agency model was used to "enhance" competition in the e-book industry by helping e-book sellers to make some money out of the deal.
The DOJ isn't buying this excuse, though. The government is wondering how competition could have increased when prices were increasing.
Apple, the publishers and the DOJ are currently in talks regarding e-book prices. While the DOJ warned Apple and the publishers that it plans to sue them for allegedly conspiring to raise prices, some publishing executives associated with the talks have said that a settlement is being considered. Some solutions that have been passed around included the idea to keep the agency model, but allow booksellers to offer some discounts.
Apple has jumped heavily into the
book selling and publishing business
with the recent launch of iBooks 2, which is the sequel to the iBooks app that provides students with books they need as well as study features, and iBook Author, which is Mac software that allows textbook writers and publishers to create textbooks for the iPad.
Undoubtedly, e-books are an essential part of the iPad experience, and with the announcement of
the iPad 3 release
just yesterday, Apple likely wants to get this DOJ business figured out quickly.

RE: About Time!
LOL! No they won't! Have you been drinking the Anti-Kool Aid??
People will imitate whatever they think is "cool" so they can be part of the "in crowd", so they too can be cool, while failing to reason that genuinely "cool" people don't give a shit what the hoi polloi beneath them think... that's what makes them "cool" in the first place.
I've tried to express this to my baby sister in the past, who used to go around wearing the "cool" clothes, the "cool" shades, buying a "cool" iPod nano. In fact, the only thing she has bought in the past that wasn't "cool" is a Galaxy S phone... and those are cool now.
She finally came to terms with it when I came home for Christmas holidays 2 years ago and I went out with her and her friends to clubs and all her friends kept telling her, "Your big brother is really cool!" She was floored. She told me the next day what they were saying, and that she didn't understand why they thought I was cool. I told her its simple... I don't give a damn what anyone thinks about me. I dress how I want, I act how I want, I do what I want. That's why they think I'm cool, because I'm not doing what everyone else is doing to be "cool".
Same for these Apple zealots. You're "cool" if own an Apple. People are stupid, and they fall for marketing. Brands don't make you cool. Your style and attitude make you cool. Its a real shame people think some product they can buy will make them "cool".
"A lot of people pay zero for the cellphone ... That's what it's worth." -- Apple Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cook

Summary: The roller-coaster life of the flamboyant creator of General Motors William C. Durant did big things the big way: he overreached, but, until his final failure, he picked up the pieces time after time to confound his competitors. From a turbulent childhood in the small town of Flint, Michigan, to his phenomenal success in creating General Motors, Durant's meteoric career easily rivals the success stories of modern legends like Ted Turner, Rupert Murdoch, and Bill Gates. With his trademark smile and personal charisma, Durant assembled General Motors in a few short years, buying companies at the rate of one every thirty days. Durant's deal-making artistry even tempted Henry Ford, and had Durant upped his acquisition price Ford would be a division of GM today. Durant's story illuminates the conflict between innovation and control of innovation -of the uneasy alliances struck again and again between inventors and their sources of capital. His years of heady success building General Motors were marked by epic struggles with bankers. But he depended on only a few sources of big money to finance his exploding business, and pitted himself against forces he underestimated or refused to consider. Gambling on a run on GM stock, he was finally forced into a buyout that ousted him from his role in the GM empire. Into the dramatic tale of this early twentieth-century mogul come the fascinating automotive pioneers -Henry Ford, David Buick, Charles Nash, Albert Champion, Louis Chevrolet, and Alfred P. Sloan. On Wall Street, J. P. Morgan turned down Durant's request for a loan while Pierre du Pont invested in Durant's expansion. Tracing the fortunes of a man and his era, The Deal Maker is a fast-paced, rousing tale of Durant's dizzying success and ultimate failure.

Flab Mag: Interview with Matthew Embree about ME&LP
Chez Raymond, an EP by ME&LP of six disparate but complimentary songs crafted by Matthew Embree (RX Bandits) and Lisa Papineau (Big Sir), is a sentimental homage to the joys of collaboration and musical experimentation. The styles veer from lilting Flamenco on the EP opener Quatro to rolling country-folk on EP closer – a tune Embree calls "a joke" (it's not) – Right On Down the Line with some pseudo Afro-pop and indie balladeering in between. Understand, there are no false notes to be found anywhere on this EP. This is owed in part to Lisa Papineau's vast body of work traversing many genres and her obvious skill at creating compelling vocal instrumentations. Add to the mix the soulful voice of Matt Embree and you have a satisfying first beginning to what I hope is a long-term project.
I sat down with Matthew Embree for a brief Q&A when RX Bandits played in Sacramento on the farewell tour. I had no idea who he was or that he is very much loved and his band is popular with the kids. But I had listened to Chez Raymond at least 100 times by then so this interview is about that project.
FLABmag: I heard you met Lisa at an art opening and immediately knew you had to collaborate with her, but what was the context? Did you hear her sing or did you shake hands and it was an immediate connection?
Matthew Embree: No, I heard her sing first in the band Big Sir with Juan (Aldrete) from The Mars Volta and I thought she was just amazing and is obviously incredibly talented. Her voice just struck me, you know?
COS Reviews: ME&LP "Chez Raymond"
ME & LP is a pretty straightforward name for a band, considering the members' names are Matthew Embree and Lisa Papineau. Taking into consideration the duo's respective backgrounds, Rx Bandits and Big Sir (with work on Air and M83 records as well), though, the situation becomes a little less direct. What kind of sound could be expected from mixing a member of The Sound of Animals Fighting and an ethereal vocalist/film scorer? Minimalist, restrained, and mellow probably were not the first words to come to mind, but that's what the delightful Chez Raymond EP gives us, and as it progresses through its six tracks, it proves to be the gift that keeps on giving.

Lisa Papineau & Tyler Bates: Two Perfect Moments
They used to be in band called Pet together in the 90's. Now Lisa Papineau (Me&LP, Big Sir) works with her old time band mate Tyler Bates on the incredible Soundtracks he does. Here is a great tune they did for the movie "Super".
ME&LP debut New Track "Bonnie Says.." DL On RCRD LBL
Matthew Embree and Lisa Papineau, two musicians with quite the pedigree between them (Rx Bandits and Big Sir, plus contributions to Air and M83, respectively), have joined forces in the shape of ME & LP. An unexpected pairing with backgrounds that could have landed them anywhere on the map, the surprising result is all the more satisfying. "Bonnie Says (No Shitty Ride)" has a dance groove at its core, maracas and some well-placed plucking creating a nice foil to Embree's seasoned crooning. Papineau's part does much the same, offering an airy, playful flair with parallels to Thao & Mirah's latest at times. And just as with that dream team, ME & LP showcase the mark of a worthy match-up, pushing each other successfully into new terrain. The LP, Chez Raymond, is out August 9 on Sargent House.

Songwriters On Process Interview : Matthew Embree
Matthew Embree, RX Bandits, Love You Moon, ME&LP
The RX Bandits sound fuses elements of rock, reggae, ska, and jazz. Their multi-dimensional approach should come as no surprise, though, once you understand the creative process of songwriter Matt Embree. He writes all the time, and not just songs: Embree is an avid poet. And like any good poet, he finds inspiration everywhere. He doesn't necessarily seek out inspiration, but he puts himself in situations where it comes easily: he's gone on a 2,000 mile motorcycle ride, and he's hitchhiked all throughout Central America. When you engage with your environment as much as Embree does - whether it's the physical environment of the wilderness or the people in a small village in Costa Rica - inspiration is easy to come by. And the songs that are the product of that creative process are rich in their influences.
RX Bandits are now on their farewell summer tour, though according to band member Steve Choi, they aren't breaking up. Rather, they are just doing their last tour. So have no fear, RX Bandits fans, they will not disappear. Read my interview with Matt Embree after the video.
What other creative outlets do you have besides songwriting?
I do a lot of writing. I write poetry and short stories and just a lot of stream of consciousness stuff. I've written a bunch of books of poetry that I mainly read to friends or women I'm in love with who will appreciate it. But most of it is just for me. I've been approached to have one of the books published, and a few of my poems have been published in compilations.

Rising Domestic Power Demand to Boost Alternative Energy Projects in KSA
Power demand in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is rising by eight percent per year and is expected to triple in the coming years[i]. Power consumption is expected to increase from an estimated 179TWh in 2009 to 208TWh by the end of 2014, with a growing power generation surplus, assuming 5.1 percent average annual growth (2010-2014) in electricity generation[ii]. These factors have propelled the expansion of numerous power projects, which includes the use of alternative energy resources.
The King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KACARE), based in Riyadh, is one of the key developments in the region that supports renewable energy projects. The recent launch is the National Solar Systems 2 MW solar park, on the roof of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
"Solar energy is best suited for the region because of high solar irradiation in KSA and vast unutilized desert space. In addition to the KAUST project, other projects in the range of 5MW and 10MW are currently underway," said Abdulhadi Al-Mureeh, Managing Director, National Solar Systems and speaker at the first Saudi Arabian Infrastructure Congress 2010.
Addressing key infrastructure issues within the region, the first Saudi Arabian Infrastructure Congress 2010 will provide the requisite platform for delegates across the region to interact with key government developers and clinch deals. The congress is scheduled to be held from October 23rd – 25th, 2010, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Congress will witness an attendance of around 40 percent delegates from Saudi and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. High-level government organizations such as Saudi Electricity Company, Saudi Ports Authority and Saudi Railway Company among others will present updates on on-going projects.

So I finally got my primary care office to start a real work up of my irregular cycles after initially being told that it was probably just me stressing, etc. and I would probably get pg soon. But with only one period that was the "normal" length over 1 year (most have been between 40-60 days) they started drawing some more labs. So far I have these results:
LH/FSH ratio: 2.66
Testosterone: 27 (~18-70)
Free testosterone: pending
Prolactin: 6.6 (0.2-24.5)
Random Glucose: 83 (70-99)
I apparently do not look like a "typical" pcos pt, why they didn't start a real work up a few months ago My BMI is ~21-22, I do not have excessive acne or hair.
So it looks to me like I have PCOS because I have oligomenorrhea and a LH/FSH ratio >2. But I am still waiting to hear back from the NP. They are waiting for my free testosterone, and maybe do an ultrasound, but I do not know if that is needed. What do you guys think?
What has worked for you for treatment? For normal and thin PCOSers? I heard metformin works pretty well, even though it has yucky side effects.
Oh, and when I called the office today to ask if they still wanted to do the trans-vaginal ultrasound or start medication, the nurse who I talked to for a few seconds called me "very anxious" Made me kinda mad bc I was totally calm and nice, and had these labs drawn almost a week ago, so I don't think it was crazy of me to call!

On your tumblr, you quote Phillip K. Dick's "How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later," wherein he presents his thoughts on "reality" from his perspective of a science-fiction writer whose job is to create universes in his novels and stories. Does your video work represent the reality you see? Are you attempting to make the viewer see reality as you see it?
I believe that Philip K. Dick is a master at questioning reality as we see it. When I first read Ubik, I was fascinated by the way Philip K. Dick would call in to question the basic structure of reality and disturb the meaning that we give to our everyday life. Diving into his world can cause a huge life crisis! It made me realize that we need to take certain things for granted or have faith in a « reality » that we choose in order to go on. (While being aware at the same time that this is only one choice among an infinity of others.) Doubting that we live in 2011, or being unsure if we are dead or alive can be very dangerous - and yet these questions can lead to very interesting lands if well managed. Philip K. Dick is dangerous in that sense. Are we in someone's mind ? Are we dead ? Are the objects around us really concrete or can they melt in another dimension? Will this elevator go back in time if I step in it? The fact that he writes these ideas into a science fiction context allowes him to go further into his reflexions and gives him the opportunity to build these incredibly complex and convincing ...
Community Campaign 2012: The Download features Ryder Ripps
In-process screenshot of Ryder Ripps's Facebook, courtsey of the artist
Last week, we kicked off our annual Community Campaign with the announcement of a new program for Rhizome members called The Download. Through The Download, Rhizome members are invited to get a first look at a new and significant artwork by one artist every month. Artworks will come in a variety of ubiquitous file formats such as .gifs, .html, .mov, and .jpegs. All works will be delivered as a .zip via The Download page. Once the artwork is downloaded, it is yours to collect, share with friends, and display on the screen of any suitable device. The Download is a premier opportunity to become a collector of great digital art!
For the first Download, we are highlighting a new work by conceptual artist Ryder Ripps (Internet Archaeology, dump.fm and OKFocus). Ryder Ripps's Facebook (2011) is a copy of his entire personal Facebook history including all of his photos, private messages, chats, and wall posts. The viewer is invited to explore all of Ripps's Facebook activity, exposing some of the most intimate and private information. As with previous works, this project confronts issues of privacy, Facebook, and fetishization of technology. Read more about Ripps's work on The Download page.
Next month, we will feature a new work by video artist Sabrina Ratté including music by Roger Tellier-Craig, aka Le Révélateur. Look out for more information about upcoming featured artists in the next few months.
The Download is supported by the Artist Fund, a pool of financial support generated by our members that is divided evenly among the participating artists. You can learn more about The Download and the Artist Fund on the FAQ page.
If you would like to be able to receive The Download first-hand and directly support artists, please contribute to Rhizome's Community Campaign and the Artists Fund today!
Intern Roundup part 2 of 3
For part two of our intern roundup, we would like to introduce you to another new member of the team: Ross Leonardy. Ross is studying Fashion Design at Parsons, and is filling the crucial role of general intern. Ross supports day to day operations at Rhizome headquarters, doing everything from conducting research to helping out with events to organizing to photo editing. Let's hear it for the general intern - Welcome, Ross!
The Physical Archive
Last Thursday, Ben and I took a field trip to check out Rhizome's physical archive. Tara Hart, the New Museum's Digital Archivist, showed us where the Rhizome files are stored in the museum's archive located next door at 231. We had about an hour before we needed to get back to work, so we took couple of boxes and dug right in. This was fun departure from the usual day to day activities around the office. Here are some gems we found from our trip:
In a binder labeled "Rhizome Ads", a record of advertisements from various art and technology publications.
(from Leonardo, Vol. 33 Number 2, 2000)
I love the selling points here. Starrynight search interface -- Amazing!
We also found a bunch of folders labeled by month and year which held articles about various artists involved with Rhizome, new media art calls, opening invitations and other ephemera. Flipping through, I came across this great hand written postcard from Mouchette.
(Found in a folder labeled October 2001)
In another folder, I found this Xeroxed announcement for Cory Arcangel's Whitney Artport commission.
(circa 2002)
There are over twenty-something boxes to go through, who knows what we'll find next. I promise to keep you updated!
The Exquisite Contraption (February 2014)
Flux Factory invites artists, designers, engineers, hackers, and makers to collaborate on an elaborate, exquisite corpse-style Rube Goldberg machine that will span multiple rooms and floors throughout Flux Factory to accomplish a simple chore.
Inspired by Rube Goldberg's cartoons that depict overly complex machines; chindōgu, the Japanese art of "unuseless" inventions; and the growing popularity of producing these objects and machines as an art practice; The Exquisite Contraption will result in a massive, interactive, kinetic sculpture that is activated once a week for the duration of 2014 to perform its task.
Participants will work together to collectively identify the machine's task and individually build pieces of the chain reaction. The final contraption will be created from a wide array of materials and methods and become a long term addition to Flux Factory's architecture. In an age of consumerism that worships the invisible and efficient, The Exquisite Contraption is an experiment not only in the spectacle of visible automation and the aestheticization of externalities, but in living daily life surrounded by a conspicuous machine.
Tell us your idea for a task or chore to be automated and a section you would like to build (max 1 page). Applications are due December 16th to email@example.com and applicants will be notified by January 6th.
Emoji Art & Design Show at Eyebeam
United States of America
In today's visually oriented culture, which increasingly communicates through images rather than text, emoji comprise a kind of "visual vernacular," a language that conveys humor, ambiguity and personality as well as meaning.
This visual form of communication isn't necessarily new—from cave paintings, to hieroglyphics, to religious and mythological symbols encoded in traditional painting and sculpture, we've been communicating through images since the dawn of mankind—but its dominance in culture today, especially among millennials, seems to indicate a greater shift in our approach to self-expression.
Emoji are everywhere. The little pictographic characters from Japan have become one of our favorite causal modes of communication and their influence has permeated popular culture and personal expression.
If you're an artist or designer working with emoji, send us your work. We're looking for a diverse array of interpretations and appropriations of the emoji that exist both on and offline. The show welcomes new and existing works from a variety of mediums ranging from net art, to painting and sculpture, video and performance.
Designers looking to sell their emoji-themed products should apply to participate in the pop-up market. Please note that all pop-up market vendors should be local to NYC or able to staff their own booth.
Learn more & submit your work now through November 8th.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: All applications must be received by 12PM (noon) on September 13, 2013. Applicants will be informed of their application status by late November, 2013.
RESIDENCY SUMMARY: The 5-month residency will begin in mid January (negotiable start date) of 2014 and run through June of 2014, the first half of the time will be spent at The White Building, London and the second half at Eyebeam, New York. The resident will receive a stipend to be paid out over the course of the residency in connection with the achievement of specific milestones. In addition, travel between London and New York will be covered, and housing will be provided in London. The resident will not receive automatic housing in New York but will receive assistance in locating temporary housing.
OVERVIEW: The SPACE-run art centre, The White Building and Eyebeam are seeking applications from artists, engineers, designers, and creative technologists interested in being the inaugural resident in our joint residency program. The purpose of The White Building/Eyebeam Artist Residency is to support creation of new work that addresses the Focus Areas of this residency call. The new work, and the process of its creation, will be presented both at Eyebeam and The White Building, with opportunities for public presentation and discussion at both organizations.
RESIDENCY FOCUS AREAS: The resident is expected to respond to at least one of the following inquiries in their project:
1.What is the role of authenticity in the current creative situation? Digital technologies are built to reproduce themselves in perfect copies -- this is antithetical to notions of single authorship. What is authentic; can there be a single author anymore?
2. What is the place of discussion around aesthetic beauty and form in contemporary technological art? Particularly, how do the formal aspects of work on the internet affect how we 'appreciate' and understand art? How are platforms such S[edition] and art.sy re-configuring what is digital and physical practice? Moreover, what do we say to skeptics who argue that native art produced on the internet, does not boast the same social, aesthetic, or political value as traditional forms?
3. What is the relationship of queerness to the internet? Are there implied queer trajectories in what the internet enables?
4. How is storytelling evolving across cinema and ebooks, digital novels, hyperlinked narratives etc? Or is it evolving?
5. What does it mean to collaborate across geographies? What does it mean to be close to people?
PARTICIPATION: There is a single residency available under this program, though it may be shared by more than one person. The resident should be prepared to document, in both London and New York, the learning and development process for the project. This documentation, which may take any number of forms, will further engage the public by increasing understanding of the project itself. This documentation may include public-facing reports and updates designed to engage the public with the project and shed light on the artist's creative and educational process.
The resident is also encouraged to participate in both formal and informal learning opportunities within the The White Building and Eyebeam community.
DETAILS: The selected resident will be expected to start the residency at The White Building's London facilities in January, remaining in regular contact with Eyebeam. In London, the artist will be expected to spend at least 3 days a week developing their project at The White Building residency studio, where they will contribute actively to the culture of The White Building and its public program. After the first two months, the resident will be given working space at Eyebeam's Chelsea, New York City space and have 24/7 access to Eyebeam's facilities and equipment. The resident will also be expected to play an active role in the Eyebeam community by taking part in Eyebeam's weekly residents & fellows meetings, monthly Stop Work critique sessions, and annual Exhibition of artists' work.
In New York, the resident will bring their experience and expertise to Eyebeam where they will finalize the creation of the project(s). Residents are expected to contribute to the Eyebeam community as collaborative partners to other residents and fellows. Eyebeam may offer program support in developing work for public or educational programming within its space during the term of the residency.
ABOUT EYEBEAM: A belief in progress and openness are core values of Eyebeam. This has been demonstrated through 16 years of experimentation via the creative use and misuse of technology with the goal to innovate and develop better relationships between people and tools. Eyebeam believes that all creative work begins with a commitment to sustainability, equality, diversity, and concern for a better future. Across all research initiatives and focus areas, Eyebeam primarily supports projects that have real-world impact -- Eyebeam maintains that cultural progress is possible and encourages work that is paradigm shifting within a large spectrum of genres.
ABOUT THE WHITE BUILDING: The White Building is London's new centre for art, technology and sustainability. An incubator for big ideas and innovation, it serves as a creative lab for artists whose work engages with technology. Run by SPACE, The White Building's aim is to act as an international beacon for the creative industries in Hackney Wick, as well as a resource and venue for residential and educational communities in the area. The centre is anchored by a residency program that is unique among UK public institutions, offering opportunities for emerging and mid-career artists to produce new work on an international platform. The centre comprises a residency studio, which doubles up as a temporary exhibition space, a flexible event space, studios for creative practitioners.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS: Applicants are only accepted via the online application system at http://apply.eyebeam.org. Applications received after the deadline of 12:00 (EST) PM (noon), September 13, 2013, will not be accepted. All applications and work samples must be submitted through the online form. No exceptions will be made.
Applications must not be currently enrolled in degree-granting academic programs. Individuals and collaborative teams are invited to apply. In either case, please detail in your application how technical and creative responsibilities will be met. If applying as a collaborative team, please include information about team members' relevant prior experience and combine CVs into a single document before uploading.
Please read the guidelines carefully, should you still wish to make an enquiry before making an application, then please contact Omar Kholeif, Head of Programming at The White Building, London on firstname.lastname@example.com.

10. Using the Nexus Calendar
To view your Nexus calendar, click the
Calendar button on the left of
the screen.
You can change the calendar display by using the buttons in the top navigation bar: Day, Work Week, Week, Month.
Navigate between different dates by using the mini-calendar on the left of your screen. Appointments will be marked in the calendar against the relevant time slot. To view full information about a calendar entry, or to edit it, click on its title.
If you already have a calendar in Outlook 2003/2007 or Entourage 2008, you can upload it to Nexus so that you can access it via OWA. To do the upload, you will need to set up Outlook or Entourage to connect to your Nexus account. Please see Calendars for details.
10.1. Adding an appointment to your calendar
To add an appointment, click on the
New Appointment button in the
navigation bar above the calendar. When the new appointment window opens, add the
necessary information. Click on
Save and Close to add the appointment to
your calendar.
The level of detail you want to add to the appointment will depend on the specific circumstances. If the appointment is merely to act as a reminder to yourself, you will probably just want to put a suitable subject, and perhaps a location. In the example above, the main text has been filled in with a schedule for the day. You can use this free text area for any notes or comments, and can even attach files. This is most useful when the appointment or meeting is to be shared with others.
You can also choose whether to mark the duration of the new appointment as Free, Busy, Tentative, or Out of Office in your calendar. Other people can use this information to help them to schedule meetings with you.
10.2. Choosing Attendees and Scheduling
To invite people to the meeting or event, open the event by clicking on it in your
calendar (or create a new event). Click the
Invite Attendees
This activates the attendees fields: Required, Optional, and Resources. You can add
people to the Required and Optional fields in the same way as when sending an email
message - choose them from the list of recent recipients on the left of your screen, or
click the
Required or
Optional buttons to choose
people from the Global Address Book. You might also want to add a shared resource such
as a meeting room or a piece of equipment, if these have been set up in Nexus. In this
case, add them to the
Resources section. You do not need to add
yourself, as the meeting organiser is automatically included.
Once you have finished adding attendees, click on the
Assistant tab to view free/busy times.
You will now see a list of suggested times, and information about how many attendees are available. These start from the day you have selected for the meeting, and go forward for a week. However, within a given day, the suggested times are listed in reverse order. If an attendee has a conflicting appointment, this will be noted next to the suggested time. You can choose a new time by clicking on it
You can also choose whether or not your attendees are automatically prompted to send a
response, by checking or unchecking the box labelled
Request a response to this
invitation, on the
Appointment tab.
Once you have finished, click
Send at the top of the screen to send
the invitations.
Responses from your invitees will appear in your inbox, unless the attendee chooses not to send a response. You can check what responses have been received by opening the meeting/event in your calendar. At the top of the screen you will see a banner telling you how many attendees have accepted, how many declined, and how many tentatively accepted.
If you need to make any changes to the meeting, you can do so and then click
Send Update to inform the other attendees.
10.3. Creating a recurring event
If you have an event that occurs regularly, you can add the whole series at once, by using the recurrence options.
To add or edit recurrence options, open the event by clicking on it in your calendar, and click the recurrence icon as shown in Figure 32, Meeting Recurrence.
Use the buttons to select from a range of frequencies, and to set the date of the first
occurrence, and if desired, the end date. Click
Save when finished.
10.4. Responding to a meeting request
When you receive a meeting request, it appears in your inbox just like an email message.
OWA will inform you if the meeting time conflicts with (or is adjacent to) another
appointment in your Nexus calendar, as in the example above (Figure 34, Receive
Meeting Request). In this case, you can click the link
View the
conflicting appointments to see more details.
At the top of the message are buttons allowing you to Accept, Tentatively Accept, or
Decline the request. Before you click one of these, decide whether you want to
Send the response now,
Edit the response before sending,
Do not send a response. If you choose to send the response now, OWA
will send an automated response which appears in the organiser's inbox, telling them
whether you can attend. If you choose to edit the response, an email message will be
created which you can add your own text to. Finally, if you choose not to send a
response, the meeting organiser will still be able to tell whether you have accepted or
not, by looking at the Tracking tab of the meeting in their calendar. However, they will
not get a message in their inbox informing them of your decision.
When you respond, the meeting request message will be automatically moved to your deleted items folder. If you accept (even tentatively) the meeting request, the event will be saved in your calendar. If you want to change your response later, open the event by clicking on it, and you can send a new response.

Wasota African Cuisine
My only experience with African food before Tuesday afternoon was with Aster's Ethiopian (which is a great spot at I-35 and Dean Keeton with an awesome buffet,) but generally my culinary knowledge of the many varied foods from that continent is sadly lacking. Fortunately, Wasota African Cuisine has popped up on South First Street, and if you haven't been and expanded your culinary horizons yet, (or gotten a refresher in delicious Nigerian/West African food) you should make an effort to change that.
For those familiar with the old World Beat Café near the UT campus (I wasn't), Wasota is the new food stop from World Beat's former owner, Lawrence Osas Eguakun. Eguakun is a very nice man and great for recommendations and conversation, but watch out, because if you don't clean your plate, he will ask you why.
For me, the reason I couldn't finish everything on my plate was that I over ordered (a common occurrence for me.) I didn't have a dining partner this week for the first time in a while, and I thought the combination of an order of meat pies and a veggie plate would combine to make a good sized and varied meal. However, the meat pies are more like the large, hearty "pies" you would find in England and the veggie plates are clearly meant to be a meal and not a side dish.
The menu at Wasota has two sides: one devoted to Vegan-friendly veggie fare – and it's not small, so bring your vegan friends here – and one that includes traditional carnivore-friendly dishes like stewed goat with Egusi soup and mashed African yams. However, since I wanted to try one of the veggie plates and get some meat, I skipped the temptations of a hearty stew in favor of two dishes.
And while it was an overwhelming amount of food, man I'm glad I did. Wasota is going to be a regular stop for me, especially with adventurous out-of-town friends. Compared to Ethiopian food, the eats I got at Wasota were less smoky than I was expecting and more spicy and stewy. (Yes, I just used the word stewy. Sorry, but it's the best general description I could think up.)
The meat pies were large and fluffy, with a crust that was moist and only slightly flaky. The filling was good and, though the order of two pies was smothered in a heavy sauce, the chef doesn't use it as an excuse to let the filling be dry. The filling was mostly ground meat with a few stray potatoes and carrots thrown in, and the light heat and spice inside was combined with the strong spice of the tomato-based red Benin sauce on top. I had never encountered Benin sauce before Tuesday, but now I want to learn how to make it because it was the kind of spicy that fills your mouth with full heat instead of a concentrated attack of spicy.
The vegetable plate that I ordered came with sautéed spinach, black-eyed peas and fried plantains. The great thing about the dish was it was not like many veggie plates where everything blends together into a vegetable mush in your memory – every single item on the plate had its own personality and tasted like it was its own dish, even though everything was covered with a healthy scoop of the Benin sauce again.
In the past I haven't been a big fan of dishes like collard greens or stewed spinach, but I may have to change my approach after eating at Wasota because the spinach was my absolute favorite thing. It was overflowing with flavor, savory and quite spicy. The black-eyed peas had less flavor, but were perfect because of that as they made a nice foil and palate cleanser after all the spice of the other foods and sauce. The fried plantains ended up tasting like baked sweet potatoes crossed with plantains, which was another nice sweeter flavor to throw into the mix and balance the plate.
Overall, everything I had at Wasota was delicious, so I'll be giving the trailer five adventurous eater stars out of five. Try it out the next time you need something hearty and comforting that may take you outside your comfort zone.

Woodworker's Journal
Chris Marshall: The upside to spar varnish is its flexibility when cured, which helps it stand up to the elements on outdoor projects. But, like any finish that's exposed to sunlight and moisture, it's not a cure-all solution. I doubt you'd be able to strip just a portion of that damaged area without lightening the stain in the process outside the repair area, so the repair would look obvious...and probably bad. There would also be the issue of new finish bonding poorly to old finish around the edges of the repair, which would likely breach the waterproofing aspect of your finish all over again. Photos only show so much, but it appears that the spar varnish is cracking vertically in other places on that panel as well, and the water damage is extending from the right corner around to the top. I'd be inclined to strip the whole panel and start over. I'd also store the trailer out of sunlight when not using it and wipe it dry when it gets wet.
Tim Inman: Minwax Red Oak stain is an interior product, so performance outdoors or under sunlight and wet/dry conditions is questionable at best. I really doubt you will have long-term satisfaction from this. I'm seeing in the pictures you sent along what appears to be a possibility of a bigger issue. Sometimes stains react with things in the wood, and it changes their colors. Was the wood washed or sealed or cleaned with something prior to staining that might have left behind a stronger acid or basic surface? It looks like I can see marks left behind by a wiping action. The extreme red that I'm seeing looks more to me like an acid reaction than would be expected. Also, the word "silicone" just gives any finisher the heebie-jeebies. Silicone and finishes are NOT friends. I'm afraid I don't have any good news or better alternatives for you on this one.
