The buzz over apps is overshadowing the good old browser.
Well you could've knocked me over with a feather.
According to new data from Forrester Research Inc., 39% of tablet owners spend more time using a tablet's web browser than using the various apps they seek out and download. Meanwhile, a mere 16% say they spend more time using apps than the web browser. The rest use the two about evenly.
This data, the first of its kind on tablet use that I've seen since Apple Inc. debuted the game-changing iPad last April, came as a surprise to me. I guess because I'm among the 16%. I probably use apps on my iPad 90% of the time and the web browser 10%. I mean, aren't apps what the iPad is all about? I guess not.
To me, apps—on tablets and smartphones—present a superior experience to the web because they are optimized to make full use of the device for which they are created. The app experience is a visual feast, and highly functional.
Whether its reading the New York Times, following folks on Twitter, buying movie tickets from Fandango or purchasing DVDs on Amazon.com, I'm using the app, not the site. The pages of the New York Times come vividly to life in its iPad app. No need for page refreshes or potentially slow page loads on the Twitter app, as is the case with all apps. And when the Twitter app does lead to a web site, it keeps the web experience within the app and lets you go back into the comfy world of app functionality with just one touch. Fandango's app is filled with stunning posters and videos and is as smooth a ride as you could want. And Amazon makes things big, colorful and easy.
I believe one or two things are happening. First, tablets are really only as old as the iPad, which created the first significant demand for the form factor one year ago this month. Perhaps people have not explored the app stores much yet and instead are falling on the habit of using the Internet. And, second, many people seem to be buying tablets specifically as a replacement tool for Internet browsing when away from a desktop or find it simply more comfortable when on the couch (they sure present a more visually appealing experience than a laptop, and are easier to hold when sitting or reclining). One way or another, it seems the browser is the mode of choice in using the Internet on a tablet, not the app.
The lesson here is a simple one: Even if your customer base seems ripe for an app, you should consider optimizing your web site for use on tablets—namely the iPad for the time being—before you dive too deeply into creating an app. According to Forrester Research and Harris Interactive, 20% of U.S. consumers will own a tablet by 2014. That's a lot of browsing on a lot of tablets.

> Connie Slagle: Need a House? Get a Shovel
Connie Slagle: Need a House? Get a Shovel
Michael Dresdner
Most woodworkers start small, perhaps building a jewelry box, and in a sense Connie Slagle started that way, too. She built one for her mother, with the help of a neighbor, when she was six years old. After that, woodworking pretty much disappeared from her life until after she was married.
"At that point," Connie recounted, "I did not have the money for new cabinets. Since it was cheaper to buy the lumber, I bought pine and remodeled my kitchen." If fact, she remodeled it several times over the next seven or eight years, and I suppose that was what convinced her to do something most of us would regard as mildly insane for a person with absolutely no experience in the field. I'll let her explain.
"Around 1986, I decided we needed a larger house," Connie told me, "so I went out, marked off a spot, and, with nothing more than a shovel and wheelbarrow, started digging a basement. This time my husband helped, but both of us had full-time jobs. We worked in the evenings, and about a year later we had a new house. The basement of that house became my first shop."
She made good use of it, and in turn, it nudged her into business. "Over the years, I built pieces for friends," she explained, "including building a cradle for a friend's new baby. When my daughter got pregnant in 1999, I called and asked if I could buy the cradle back, and she said flat-out no. That tipped me off to the fact that my work actually had some value.
"I quit my job and opened a business making and selling raised dog feeders and dog beds. I am really an animal person, and I wanted to test the water to see if I was good enough. That's because I lacked the confidence to be a furniture maker. After all, when you make things for friends, they are always well received and it's easy to get compliments.
"I listed my first dog feeder on eBay and was immediately blasted with orders. I created the
Superior Feeders
web site and, working alone out of my garage, started building and selling several Mission style oak feeders per day. A year later, I moved the shop into a converted pole barn that was on our property.
"I started by buying rough sawn, four quarter red oak lumber, but have since moved on to white oak. About 80 percent of my work is now in white oak. To be honest, though, I still only pay about two dollars a board foot even for flatsawn white oak, and about $2.40 a board foot for quartersawn white oak. I buy from a couple of sources that are so old-fashioned that neither will take credit cards. And, of course, I'm also a good negotiator."
It was out of spite, though, that she got the courage to jump from furniture for dogs to furniture for people. "One day I went to the mill to buy oak," she explained. "I wanted five boards, but the vendor made a joke about me buying the whole bunk, so to spite him, I bought the whole thing: 1,400 board feet. It was about 2,800 dollars. By the time I got home, I was horrified, thinking 'What did I just do?' I decided then and there that I needed to make something I could sell for more money than a $40 dog feeder.
"I started building Mission style end tables and magazine racks and selling them for $80 each on eBay, and orders just flowed in. Within a year, I opened the
Mission Time Designs
web site and started experimenting with making all sorts of other pieces. Almost immediately, I started getting calls asking for custom work.
"To this day ,I work alone and always have, and still make each piece one at a time. Of course, if I have two orders for the same thing at the same time I will make them together, but the fact that I primarily build one piece at a time means that custom orders are no more difficult for me than standard pieces. As a result, I do not charge extra for custom work. At this point, about 80 percent of my work is from custom orders.
"Over the years, I have made tables, chairs, stools, desks, entertainment centers, just about any furniture you would find in a house, for both people and their pets. However, about 45 percent of my work is making bar stools and frankly, I like doing them the best. I especially like designing them, in part because there are so many ways to do them and everyone's interpretation is so different. I would make chairs all day long if I could.
"As sales increased, I started offering work to my son-in-law, who was a private contractor, and to other members of my family. I talked to customers, took orders, worked on the web site and built furniture with whatever time remained. Four other family members working in two other shops were also building to fill orders. In essence, the web site became the core of an extended family cottage industry making one-off furniture.
"Last year, I decided to focus specifically on quartersawn oak and solid cherry. I turned the Mission Time business over to my son-in-law and started
Mission Oak Designs
, going back to the 'one-woman shop' format. The primary difference is that Mission Time builds from flatsawn wood, but I build from quartersawn oak and cherry."
Her love of Mission style stems, curiously enough, from literature and television, and from one place in particular. "Honestly," she admits, "my love of Mission furniture and its style influence came from my adoration of Laura Ingalls Wilder's 'Little House on the Prairie.' Those stories describe my ideal of life, and I'd love to be living in them."
That "Little House" attitude influences her take on customer service as well, and results in her offering something few of us are lucky enough to enjoy outside of a boutique coffee shop.
"I believe that if you buy something, you should be able to talk to the person who made it. That's my definition of customer service, and that is what I offer to my customers. They can talk to the actual person who crafted the wood on their furniture."
I'll drink to that.

Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready says that he's going to do his best to make sure that the band's tenth studio album gets released sometime before the end of the year.
"I don't know that everyone in the band feels that way, but I'm going to do my damndest to move it along if I can have any kind of say in it," he tells Premier Guitar . "I would really like to get it out this year because we would really like to do some touring and things like that."
McCready adds that an upcoming recording session with the guys next month will determine whether or not the album drops in 2013. "We all decided to pull back a little bit after we had done about seven songs, which I think are going to be on the next record," he explains. "I'm not really sure. It all depends upon how this next session goes."

GeForce GTX Titan preview -
Hardware setup | Power consumption
Hardware Installation
Installation of any of the NVIDIA GeForce cards is really easy. Once the card is seated in the PC make sure you hook up the monitor and of course any external power connectors like 6 and/or 8-pin PEG power connectors. Preferably get yourself a power supply that has these PCIe PEG connectors native (converting them from a Molex Peripheral connector anno 2013 we feel is a no-go).
Once done, we boot into Windows, install the latest drivers and after a reboot all should be working.
No further configuration is required or needed unless you like to tweak the settings, for which you can open the NVIDIA control panel.
Power Consumption
Let's have a look at how much power draw we measure with this graphics card installed.
The methodology: We have a device constantly monitoring the power draw from the PC. We simply stress the GPU, not the processor. The before and after wattage will tell us roughly how much power a graphics card is consuming under load.
Our test system is based on a power hungry Core i7 - X58 system. This setup is overclocked to 3.80 GHz on all cores. Next to that we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). On average we are using roughly 50 to 100 Watts more than a standard PC due to higher CPU clock settings, water-cooling, additional cold cathode lights etc.
We'll be calculating the GPU power consumption here, not the total PC power consumption.
Measured power consumption single GeForce GTX Titan
- System in IDLE = 136W
- System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 372W
- Difference (GPU load) = 236W
- Add average IDLE wattage ~15W
- Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 251 Watts
Mind you that the system wattage is measured at the wall socket side and there are other variables like PSU power efficiency. So this is a calculated value, albeit a very good one.
Above, a chart of relative power consumption. Again, the Wattage shown is the card with the GPU(s) stressed 100%, showing only the peak GPU power draw, not the power consumption of the entire PC and not the average gaming power consumption.
Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:
- GeForce GTX Titan - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
- GeForce GTX Titan 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
- GeForce GTX Titan 3-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 1200 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.
There are many good PSUs out there, please do have a look at our many PSU reviews as we have loads of recommended PSUs for you to check out in there. What would happen if your PSU can't cope with the load:
- bad 3D performance
- crashing games
- spontaneous reset or imminent shutdown of the PC
- freezing during gameplay
- PSU overload can cause it to break down
Let's move to the next page where we'll look into GPU heat levels and noise levels coming from this graphics card.
In this review we take the Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti KalmX. Palit's offering is the most slinet of them all, as it uses passive cooling. That's right, just a big heatsink is being used. The KalmX ru...

FRIDAY, Aug. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Despite the current lull in
H1N1 influenza activity, experts say it's likely that the Northern
Hemisphere will see a new, but still mild, wave of the virus this
flu season.
The virus will continue to circulate, said Dr. Scott
Lillibridge, executive director of the National Center for
Emergency Medical Preparedness and Response, but he hasn't "seen
anything to suggest it's going to come back bigger or worse."
Others agreed.
"A conservative view would be that we will see a predominance of H1N1 [as opposed to other strains] this year, that the size of the outbreak will be a little smaller than last year, that the viruses will have some changes in it -- some mutations -- and that it will not be particularly worse than it was last year," said Dr. Edward Walsh, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, N.Y.
As to when it might appear, "maybe towards a more normal winter,
meaning peaking in January rather than in October, moving towards
its usual seasonal time," Walsh said.
The H1N1 "swine" flu first appeared in Mexico in 2009,
surprising everyone with its various quirks. Notably, this flu
started infecting people in the spring as opposed to the normal
fall/winter pattern of the "regular" flu.
H1N1 also primarily affected younger people and caused
relatively mild illness, except in pregnant women, obese people and
those who already had vulnerable immune systems.
After peaking last October, the virus has kept a low profile,
except for an uptick in the number of cases in several southeastern
states this spring.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, the public health emergency first declared in the
United States in 2009 "expired" on June 23. Just this week, the
World Health Organization officially noted that the 2009 worldwide
pandemic was over.
H1N1 is likely lurking in some animal reservoir right now. "It's
probably in an animal host that is not pathogenic to the animal,"
said Dr. Len Horovitz, a pulmonary specialist with Lenox Hill
Hospital in New York City.
In recent weeks, outbreaks of a different strain of influenza --
H3N2 -- have been spotted in Iowa.
And it's possible that will be a dominant strain this year. The
Southern Hemisphere, which is wintering right now, is seeing a
mixture of H1N1 and H3N2, Walsh said.
"We might see very little H1N1 and more H3N2 or Influenza B, although I think the chances of that should be significantly less than [a season dominated by H1N1]," he noted.
With H1N1, there's a good possibility that much of the U.S.
population will be immune, either because they were sick last year
or because they received the vaccine, Walsh added.
The flu is notorious for mutating each year, however.
"Very often, let's say if two . . . flu viruses are in the same host and they do a reassortment of genetic material where they sort of exchange genetic material and therefore genetic character, it's possible that H1N1 will take on more virulence," Horovitz said.
Still, "we can't predict if H1N1 will evolve in such a way that
it circumvents the immunity that has developed and also cause a big
outbreak," Walsh cautioned.

for Disease Control and Prevention has more on H1N1.

python-brisa requires the following:
- Python 2.5 or 2.6, python-setuptools
- Only one of the following:
- Python-circuits (recommended)

- Python-paste

- Python-cherrypy (at least version 3.1.1)

First of all, install the dependencies listed above. That is, python and one of the listed webservers. You may use the most convenient way you wish for installing those, e.g. if you're on Ubuntu simply use apt-get:
sudo apt-get install python python-circuits
Secondly and last, get a python-brisa release (.deb or .tar.gz) here. BRisa developers recommend you to always download the latest releases.
Installing a BRisa .deb release
sudo dpkg -i python2.6-brisa_0.10.1maemo0_all.deb
Installing a BRisa .tar.gz release
tar zxvf python-brisa_0.10.1maemo0.tar.gz
cd python-brisa_0.10.1maemo0
sudo python setup.py install

An Arizona congresswoman says she'll work to revive a stalled land exchange that would allow for the expansion of a copper mine.
U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick recently visited Superior to express support for the expansion project. She says she'll work to introduce new legislation in Congress that includes environmental protections.
Under a proposal that has been pending since 2005, Resolution Copper Mining would swap 5,300 acres of land for conservation purposes for 2,400 acres of national forest land that holds one of the largest undeveloped copper resources in the world.
Opposition by conservationists and some American Indian groups has helped stall the exchange.
Resolution Copper has said it will invest more than $6 billion in the proposed mine.

The 25-year-old may now postpone her next concert, scheduled to take place at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London on May 31. "She's not ready for it," a friend tells the paper
Last month Amy was admitted to the medical facility after fainting at her villa. Her spokesman said she was suffering from dehydration.

Aftershock did alright when it was initially released, but sales were hurt by the lack of touring Motorhead did behind the album. The health of their front-man came first, and rightly so. Lemmy got himself an exercise bike and has been getting healthier. It looks like Motorhead is getting ready to finally push the new album.
They just released this Electronic Press Kit below. The video goes song by song through the album. Band members talk about the different tunes and we get to hear clips of the songs. If you want to get a better idea of what Aftershock is all about, watch the video.

This packages is ideal to give [or sell "on the spot"] to new muslims while doing street Dawah. It is not very expensive and we can be sure that a new muslim will get a nice "big picture" of Islam after going through the books. Small books are great to bring at work or school. The CD/tape is also nice to listen in the car [it has about 15 surat on it at the end of the explanation for Salah].

How PYYRAMIDS Turned An Online Friendship Into a Band
PYYRAMIDS dropped their EP, Human Beings, this fall, following a lengthy email friendship that only very recently became IRL.
The band comprises OK Go's Tim Nordwind and singer Drea Smith. They released their debut disc — laden with moody, yet dancey tracks that are nothing like OK Go's poppy beats — on the indie pop band's label, Paracadute.
Both members now reside in sunny LA — Smith left Chicago to work on music with Nordwind — which means they no longer require the technological trappings of a long-distance band relationship. Still, old habits die hard, as you'll discover in our Q&A with the band below:
So you guys made friends over email?
Tim: I was living in LA at the time and Drea was living in Chicago and our mutual friend lived in Chicago as well.
Drea: She thought that we would be a good fit for each other so she gave Tim my email. We wrote back and forth basically bonded over a couple of bands like Joy Division and the Cure and this new band that I sent over to Tim called Micachu and the Shapes. And we just discovered that we liked all the same music. And then he sent me over some tracks that had no vocal information on them, so I decided to write over them and send them back over. That's how the first songs were done.
Tim: Our story is definitely a testament to the modern age and all the different ways that you can collaborate nowadays. I think Drea and I had three or four songs together before we had ever met face-to-face. We didn't meet for eight or nine months after being introduced online through email. Luckily, it just happens to be that we actually like each other in person, too. It is kind of interesting that we were able to make a musical connection without having met face-to-face.
How did the musical process work?
Tim: I was sending a lot of bits and pieces; nothing was fully finished. And all of it was just kind of beat-heavy, moody, minor-sounding music that doesn't really sound like [OK Go] at all. But it was all stuff that I really liked and thought definitely had reason to live in the world. And just based on email conversations that Drea and I had, it seemed like she might actually like some of these tracks. Because of all the music we were talking about — The Cure, The Smiths, Blur, things like that. It's all just sort of moody British music that we both really relate to.
I think the reason why this project works on a human level — neverminding the technology for a second — is I just happened to like what Drea does and she just happened to like what I do. I think the real reason why I even initially decided to write to Drea after our friend had recommended her was I just went and listened to some of her old band and her voice and really felt like, 'Man, what a super unique and interesting voice.' And having heard that she wanted to something that was, for lack of a better word, indie-r than what she had been doing, I got very excited to mix her voice with this moody Brit pop that we both liked.
I think I read in the Tina Fey book [Bossy Pants] recently that the way that she liked to be in charge of things is to pick the people whose work she loved the most and then let them do their thing and not get in their way. And not to imply that I'm in charge of this, but on a human level, it's like 'I like this girl's voice' and then after having sent her a couple beats and getting stuff back, I really liked her ideas and thought that this would be a good collaboration. And we don't even need to be in the same room in order to get along or agree on things, which is why the Internet works so well for us.
What tools did you use when you were working on this long-distance?
Drea: I would sit on my bed in my headphones with my laptop and use GarageBand and just record into the computer. I was still just learning to use it, because I worked two jobs to get a computer. I went so long without a computer. We had known each other for a while before we really got super started because I had to hustle up the dough to get a computer to make it work.
Tim: I suppose it was GarageBand. I guess we used YouSendIt to send files back and forth. I used Pro Tools — I write in Pro Tools for the most part. It was like two computers, a file-sharing website and some music software was all we really needed. And a lot of imagination and ideas.
What about lyrically? Who writes the songs?
Drea: It was mostly me. But on some of the songs, [Tim] would give me vocal references and then I would borrow from the vocal references and build off of those. For example, 'Animal.' 'Animal' came to me with the catchy 'oh, oh, oh's in it and then I filled in the spaces. The 'animal!' part was already in there. So I built the song off of what was in the demo.
Tim: That was an interesting one, because the word 'animal' was just sort of a placeholder lyric when I originally demo'd the music. That was just a melody idea I had. Drea took that and made an entire song out of it. I never expected the song to end up being called 'Animal.' Drea does the majority of the lyrics. I guess we sometimes have what resembles a therapist session where she's talking to me about what she's trying to write about and we'll sort of discuss what's going on. But as far as pen hitting the paper, that's mostly Drea.
And now you guys both live in LA. What's that like?
Drea: It's cool. I live like 10 minutes away.
Tim: We share a few more meals now that we used to. We go out get pizza a little bit more than when she lived in Chicago and I lived in LA. I like living in the same city. It certainly made finishing this first EP a lot easier because she was living so close. For everything that's great about communicating online, there's a certain thing about looking at someone's eyes and knowing: 'This [song] isn't right yet.'
So you're not going to continue to compose in separate rooms over email?
Drea: No.
Tim: To be honest, usually even when she is in LA, if I got an idea late at night, I'll record it at home and send it over to her. That is how we begin mostly. I guess the nice thing about doing stuff online is that it does allow us some space to our own things before we actually come together. It does create a good space for us, initially, where I can send Drea something and she doesn't have to react to it right away — she can think about it. Which I think is helpful.
Drea, do you have another band or another project right now?
Drea: I had a band called He Say, She Say and we're kind of on an indefinite hiatus. My bandmate is now Kanye West's DJ, so he's on the Watch the Throne tour. We're probably going to pick up at some point and try to do a couple of more songs, but for now we're just like doing our own thing. Also, I just got the email, Doc McKinney who [works] on The Weeknd project, he's going to be in LA for a month, so I'm going to knock out a solo project with him. But PYYRAMIDS is my main priority.
And Tim, you're still going strong with OK Go?
Tim: Yeah, still going with OK Go. We're going to make a new record — we're going to start writing in January or February and go record in the spring. We're finishing up a couple of projects that are connected to our latest record — Of The Blue Color of the Sky. We're making a video at the end of the month for one of the last few songs that still needs a video.
With regard to PYYRAMIDS, we're going to get started on some new stuff soon and will put something out again later in the year or this time next year. We'll see how it works. PYYRAMIDS has a couple videos in the works as well.
You already make an interactive video for "That Ain't Right." Any plans to get creative on future videos?
Tim: We actually have another idea for a video that would be highly interactive for a song called "Human Beings," which is a brand new idea.

This site has now been superseeded by the new Shakinda Productions Website, This one will remain live here for those who still want to read posts etc. You may also be intersted in the Quartz Composer Book Site and We would love you to come say hello on the Shakinda Facebook or you can follow us on twitter thanks for all who supported the vj gigs and here's to the future!
Shakinda was commissioned by Blade Kites and Kite Surf Warehouse to create a Uk scene promo video for the 2011 Kites. We produced the video from original ideas though, story-boarding, shooting, edit, post, grade and titles. Its well on its way to 2000 views with just a couple of days online.
Shakinda will be returning to the LPM this year to present a Quartz Composer Workshop, the new Learning Quartz Composer Book soon to be published by Pearson and a unique performance!
To book your place on the workshop please visit the LPM website
To vote on what topics should be covered hear over to the Vj Forums
Iomart Hosting one of the Uk's leading hosting groups came to Shakinda to produce a killer promo video to explain their services and drive traffic to their website. The results can be seen below:
At Shakinda we deliver engaging and powerful motion graphics for your brand. From broadcast, viral to live events and interactive displays we ensure your image is cutting edge and creating a buzz.
Motion treatments are one part of our comprehensive visual services. We also offer HD video production, Large scale building projection and interactive programming have a look around the site or get in touch to find out what we can do for you.
Shakinda's content is the first choice of all the best parties in Ireland. Yello, Lush! and all the other nights and locations where our content is shown and performed adds up to roughly 5000 people are exposed to the Shakinda goodness weekly! Viva the Vj revolution
Shakinda has been in control of all that goes on the screens at Belfast finest club Yello since 2008. Since then it has picked up a top 6 spot in the UK according to mixmag and just generally been awesome.
So for the 4th birthday Shakinda gave them a little something extra
Recently another great night continued into its second year with exclusive visual content from Shakinda.
At Shakinda we have a triple bottom line philosophy we don't just want to create incredible motion graphics, moives and interactive experiences we want to try and make the world a better place.
Over the last few months we have been working with Stand Out International to create a video to promote their charity and to provoke a concert crowd to get involved in helping end child sex exploitation.
The brief was wide open and Shakinda devised the video from original concept, through script writing, filming to post-production, special effects and delivery. It was shown last night to a crowd of just over 2500 people and they raised an impressive 10,000! The money will be going straight into projects on the ground in Thailand and Cambodia for more info check out the Stand Out website.
Shakinda will once again be delivering a 2 day introduction to Vjing and Live Video Art as part of the highly successful Trans Urban Arts Academy. This Belfast City Council initiative presents a wide range of courses to equip Belfast's young creatives to take the world by storm. So whether you are a Dj who wants to add visuals to his set or a film maker who wants to learn some non-linear story telling, or just wonder what this whole vj thing is Book a place for July 10th & 11th and get down!
This is a short video made from a recent piece of subtle outdoor projections, for a festival Belfast City Council put on for Valentines. The concept was for people in the city to be surprised by pieces of art and performance hidden around the city.
In light of the Beloved theme and recent political developments I chose to try and communicate unconditional love and the amazing things that can be achieved when people choose love as their first priority.
Thanks to 3rd sorce, Adam Turkington, Victoria Square and the other Belfast Vjs who contributed; Christian S, Vj Yaygo and Vj Phoenix
Music: Bluetree : Your Love (Alt version Shakinda re-edit)
Its been very busy at Shakinda recently and hard to know where to start on the news front. Great workshops at the Urban Arts Academy in Belfast, Fun gigs with Nakatomi towers at Stiff Kitten and continued residencies at Lush! and Yello. More production work for the new Yello visuals and DVD and Play and Wired and Belfast Exposed. We have now launched vj equipment rental services in response to popular demand!
Realtime Motion Graphics with Quartz Composer is a book and DVD project authored by Shakinda & Surya Buchwald, to be published by Pearson. Started nine months ago, this project aims to introduce Quartz Composer as a very powerful and fun graphical programming environment. Despite its massive potential for real-time audio reactive solutions, Quartz Composer is still mainly publicized for the creation screensaver, and remains woefully under-used as a visualization tool. The Mastering Quartz Composer book could change this forever.
This book and DVD shows the full potential of Quatz Composer, from taking a complete novice through the software setup process and getting to grips its interface, all the way to enabling the modelization of complex 3d audio reactive environments, midi interaction, to retrieving online database information.
Shakinda will be giving a world exclusive 4 day workshop at the famous Live Performers Meeting in Rome this year. From Thurs 28th to Sun 31st May you will get the opportunity to learn Quartz Composer from scratch and come out the other side a guaranteed quartz guru. He will be using this workshop to test out some of the material in the upcoming Pearson Education Book on Quartz he is writing and will we getting some input from other quartz legends who will be in Rome for the meeting. The first session is free and then if you want to carry on the cost is 40 euro Sign up here
The LPM will see over 200 live visual performers in the same space and so will be a great place for transfer of ideas etc and Shakinda is proud to represent ireland on this european stage.

text: Good morning ladies! I am in the process of organizing a co-op preschool and I need some help coming up with the weekly theme for a few letters. Each week gets assigned a letter, bible theme for that letter and a bible verse that goes with the bible theme. For example, U is God Made Me Unique and P is God Provides. I still need a theme for the following letters: Q, Z, D and C. (I have a few ideas for C, but I wanted to see if anyone could come up with something better).

Georgia Theatre
663 Mississippi Boulevard,
No one has favorited this theater yet
There is no description available for this theater. If you know anything about this theater, please email us!
Recent comments (view all 3 comments)
The Georgia Theatre must be the project mentioned in the August 17, 1940, issue of Boxoffice. Headed "625-Seat Negro Theatre Planned in Memphis," the item gave the location as the corner of Georgia and Mississippi avenues. Designed by architect Raymond B. Spencer, the new house was slated to cost $35,000.
My dad and his brother owned and operated this theater from the time it opened until it closed, probably in the wake of the MLK assassination. It plus the Ace and the Harlem were all part of the orginal group which they owned and all were in black neighborhoods that could be pretty rough on weekends.
A very nice gentleman from the Royal Knights, headquartered in the building, let me look inside. It is a bar with a low ceiling supported by posts. It can be seen where the lobby wall was, otherwise no trace of the interior. He said that it had been a bar since the mid-1970s but also said he would look up more information. Dave Lebovitz owned and operated several "Colored" movie theaters: Ace, Harlem, and Georgia. He and his brother also owned and operated three Drive-In movies: Sky-Vue, Lamar, and Sunset (West Memphis).

true stuff...
OMG, First!!!!!!
This is a difficult situation to work out. The ever present media is no help. What use to be private family matters are now fodder for gossip sites.
You might forgive him for the transgressions against your mother and family but THE VOTERS DO NOT NEED TO FORGIVE HIM FOR REPEATEDLY LYING TO THEM WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.
Your father lacks morals and accountability and is now a "girly man" hiding behind his daughter.
Sad for all involved. I for one do not think Maria accepted the truth about this child until recently. She looks pretty bad.
Hope she does NOT take him back, if she does she should stop lecturing at Women's Empowerment conferences. She would be (and in fact has been because of her denial) a horrible example/role model.
Love and lust really scramble the brain.
Actually, it is not a private family matter because he repeatedly lied to the voters and citizens of California and tried to pull the wool over their eyes too. People do care about moral character, for instance a narcisstic, blatant cheater might think its ok to PARDON HIS PAL'S MURDERING SON!
These things matter and he prevented the voters from making an informed choice.
I am with Roseanne Barr on Arnold.
Gretchen please. The voters of California were in such a rush to get rid of Gray Davis they would have elected Satan himself. Everyone knew Arnold was a womanizer but the Republican party was willing to look the other way because they knew with his name recognition the recall effort against Gray Davis would be successful.
Why do people feel the need to let the world know their every thought?
Translation: Daddy controls the trust fund.
Let's see her forgive her boyfriend or husband that cheats on her. She won't.
Dummy, it's better off not saying anything. Now, you're just alienating your mom by being rather unsympathetic. And no, not "everything happens for a reason"! Some people are just greedy, selfish sinners, like ole Arnie.
It is a wonderful attitude to have. He is your father. And the new brother you have also accqired also.
I would imagine this is an a lot for your mother to understand, feels betrayed and so much more. My heart and soul just bleed for your mother. She is just such a wonderful woman.
Done so much for so many others. She did not deserve this. I too hope at some time she will feel as you do. But, remember this was her husband, soulmate. Her trust is completely ****tered. She will need time to heal herself, before she can forgive you father. He has a lot to correct with her.
May God bless you and your family and bring you much comfort and peace in this most difficult and painful time.
****tered is the word above.
Well, girl, I don't wish on anyone what your mother is going through, but maybe if it happens to you, you would understand more of the humiliation and the world of pain your mother is going through. I don't think you would be that forgiving if your husband and or boyfriend (girlfriend?) cheated on you the way your father did.
This matter is between one man and one woman who are married and have ran into a bump in the road, if she forgives him and takes him back good for her...too many people rush for divorce and that's more damaging for everyone. Everyone deserves a second chance if they are repentant.
Dealing with a father's betrayal in a situation like this is a nightmare (believe me, I've been in Katherine's shoes), but nothing changes the fact that he's still your father and loves a daughter unconditionally.
As for husbands and boyfriends, they don't have the same emotional committment to you as a father; besides, it's a different type of relationship.
As for Maria, forgiving Arnold is the right thing to do. By forgiving him, she can heal and move on with her life (with or without him). If I were in her shoes, I would forgive him (for my own benefit) but I would not stay married to him. Arnold can't be trusted.
I hope Arnold can live with what he's done; he has no other choice.
I had a family of my ex do a lot of bad things to be--tie me up in court for years, play tricks on my kids instead of promoting
visitation with their son. Years later, I found out the mother
spent time photoshopping my picture into their family gatherings. Later she took a picture of my grandaughter with a birthmark on her face and photoshopped it out and gave it back to my daughter-in-law.
In their old age I saw them again as I moved to S.D. county, and all was well. The grandfather died, and the mother is in a resthome and I see her now and then or am invited to the home.
So, I don't see them for 40 some years, and my picture is photoshopped into their family dinners--boy I didn't miss those! Be a bigger person and forgive which doesn't mean you have to forget.

Republicans in the Wisconsin State Assembly appear to be doing the right thing after apparently having done the wrong thing. GOP Assembly leadership is moving quickly to strip Representative Bill Kramer of his leadership position after reports of his alleged inappropriate behavior during a recent trip to Washington, D.C. But Kramer is hardly an unanticipated problem for Republicans.
State Representaive Chris Kapenga, a Delafield Republican, raised concerns about Kramer when he was being considered for Assembly Majority leader, and it was specifically this type of behavior Kapenga referenced. Republicans ignored Kapenga's concerns and went with Kramer. And talk show host Charlie Sykes reports at Right Wisconsin (subscription) that Kramer's issues were hardly a secret among Republicans, calling it "the least surprising scandal, ever.
Unlike Democrats in time of scandal, Republicans aren't circling the wagons, they're doing the right thing and moving to remove Kramer from power. But that doesn't excuse the fact that they put him there in the first place. This was a completely unforced error, and not a small one.

I moved here end of 2008 and stopped making payments to my loan and credit card. Did not hear from them at all until now, almost 4 years later. They have sent a final notice email and contacted a family member in Redondo Beach threatening INTERPOL action. I didn't think they had jurisdiction in the US to criminalize me, though I understood that I could never go back to the UAE. What can I do if I cannot pay back? Is it better to ignore any calls and deny my identity or should I hire a lawyer, and if so, what kind? And when does their right to pursue me expire?
They will have a difficult time suing you in California. First of all, non payment of a debt is a civil matter, not a criminal matter. Secondly, if the creditor is a business entity, it must be licensed and registered with the California Secretary of State in order to file a lawsuit in the courts of California. Third, if they sue you here, you can make a motion requiring them to post a bond under CCP 1030 to cover your court costs. Fourth, if they sue you here, you can counter sue them for violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by threatening criminal prosecution. Fifth, if they sue here, they will need to bring witnesses from Dubai or wherever.
This is a question for a lawyer in Dubai. An American lawyer is not familiar likely with Dubai laws of collection and enforcement unless he or she is an international lawyer. Further I believe that there are serious ramifications of owing money in Dubai from one article I read about a Ferrari Enzo left there in the desert because of a debt owed and it sat in the desert and deteriorated because of the rich guy had to leave the country because he owed a debt. You can likely look up about this on the Internet.

Current Insights On Treating Gangrenous, Odorous And Painful Wounds
- Volume 26 - Issue 11 - November 2013
- 5826 reads

For malodorous wounds, Dr. Suzuki prefers to use Xeroform (Covidien), a yellow petrolatum gauze with bismuth, which has mild antimicrobial and anti-odor properties. There are a few specialized pouch dressings with charcoal particles in them but he finds them hard to use. Dr. Suzuki has had good experiences with metronidazole gel (Metrogel), saying this works well for some odors coming from fungating tumors. He does note this is an off-label use. Dr. Suzuki says the brand name Metrogel product is expensive but notes that one can use a compound pharmacy to create a metronidazole gel for a fraction of the cost of Metrogel.
For Dr. Bell, whether the wound is draining or dry makes a difference in the management of odor as the type of odor can indicate what process is occurring in the wound. As he notes, strong odor is typically accompanied by the presence of infection and this can cover a wide range of organisms, from Pseudomonas colonization to the overpowering odor found with anaerobes. Ischemic (dry gangrene) wounds tend to have a rotting flesh odor. The intensity of the situation as well as the odor should determine what to apply to a malodorous wound, advises Dr. Bell. He has often used Dakin's solution as a way to get odor under control in many wounds and says iodoform gauze packing has the additional benefit of managing odor.
In contrast, Dr. McGuire says, "Solutions such as Betadine or Dakin's, which are sometimes appropriate for odor control in maintenance wounds, are a bit harsh for those wounds in which we want to maximize healing."
What do you use for a painful wound?
Dr. Suzuki prefers to manage wound pain with oral medications, saying a judicious use of narcotic pain medication such as hydrocodone bitartrate/acetaminophen (Norco, Actavis), hydrocodone/paracetamol (Vicodin, AbbVie), oxycodone/acetaminophen (Percocet, Endo Pharmaceuticals) and gabapentin (Neurontin, Pfizer) can help in managing most wound pain. That said, he has used a lidocaine patch (Lidoderm, Endo Pharmaceuticals) for exquisitely painful wounds that sometimes occur in sickle cell patients or patients with complex regional pain syndrome. Patients can change these lidocaine patches once every 12 hours as the instruction states but he prefers to keep the patches on for 24 hours for the sake of simplicity.
Dr. Bell has often used topical lidocaine 5% gel directly on some painful wounds. He says another trick is to saturate an alginate or even a gauze dressing with injectable 1 or 2% lidocaine and apply that to the wound. One can also apply topical pain patches containing lidocaine near a painful ulcer.
As Dr. McGuire opines, pain control is more complicated than simply using topical or injectable lidocaine for wound debridement and dressing changes. Although researchers have shown that topical anesthetics in high concentrations can inhibit collagen synthesis and delay healing in experimental wounds, Dr. McGuire feels the use of these modalities has little or no effect on wounds clinically.1 "Patients with truly painful wounds benefit a great deal from the use of topical anesthetics and we should not avoid using them when patients really need them," he says.
"Pain is obviously subjective and the presence of pain with a wound can be an indicator of serious underlying issues, especially infection and ischemia," says Dr. Bell. "Systemic pain management is a given but the use of topical agents for painful wounds can be an adjunctive therapeutic measure when the underlying cause of pain is being addressed."
Do you have any other pearls regarding dressings?
Almost every day, Dr. Suzuki sees new referral patients who say, "Hey, I have been doing wet-to-dry dressings for six months and I see no improvement." He emphasizes that "wet-to-dry" gauze dressing is good for mechanical debridement but is not a good wound care regimen.
"Today, we have literally thousands of wonderful wound dressings to choose from so there is absolutely no reason to use 'wet-to-dry' or 'vinegar soaks' that were commonly used 20 years ago," says Dr. Suzuki.
