I got nevermelting ice crystal on my fourth run in PoS and frankly after comparing specs I swapped out my previous trinket, which had been an emblem purchase. Despite it having a lower gear score and putting me 40 points further away from that magic 5K mark - the simple truth is it's an awesome trinket and it's specs are really good.
It's really one of the best ilevel 232 items in the game decent spellpower bonus on-equip and massive diminishing-returns crit bonus on use.
I contemplated the GS hit for a bit, I know it's not all that matters but a lot of people think it is (despite the fact that GS gives no consideration to class mechanics) so being 4950 is worse in their eyes than the 4970 I had before... but my guildies are smarter than that - and when I go into a raid, I want to rip out every single ounce of damage I can - it's what I'm there for - they know that I know my class, know my spec, know my rotation and my DoT renews - and that if I take a gearscore hit, it's with good reason.
So what if it means I miss out on a PuG here and there ?

Two cartoons from yesterday: in Doonesbury, the plants continue to talk; and in One Big Happy, Ruthie runs into the problems of correcting young language learners.
Archive for the 'Language acquisition' Category
Back from Memorial DayMay 28, 2014
Sunday melangeMarch 23, 2014
Four recent cartoons, from several sources and of very different tones: a Bizarro, a Zits, a Doonesbury, and a Paul Noth New Yorker cartoon:
English-Klingon bilingualismOctober 13, 2013
From a reader of this blog:
A linguist named d'Armond Speers has been in Colorado news lately because his wife is running for the school board in Denver. Some years ago, Speers decided to speak to his baby son only in Klingon, while his wife used English. This continued for five years until the kid refused to respond to Klingon. I am wondering what your opinion is of an experiment like this? Good for the kid, or just notorious for the dad?
Dinosaur language acquisitionAugust 26, 2013
Cul de SacApril 30, 2013
From Lynne Murphy on Facebook, this Cul de Sac cartoon, which reminded her of her daughter Grover:
The child in the cartoon, Alice, is 4; she's at the stage of bargaining about the exact choice of words.
The Bayloo puzzleMarch 1, 2013
Over in Facebook, in the midst of a rambling discussion of dialect differences, Arne Adolfsen presented a phonological puzzle:
My sister-in-law who's from here (the capital of Nowhere in northwestern Georgia) has a cat whose name she pronounces "Bayloo", but when I call it that she has no idea what I'm talking about since the cat's name is spelled "Betty Lou". It's really peculiar. My brother and I have to pronounce the name as three syllables with the TT (sounded like DD) in there or she and her sister and son have no idea that we mean the two-syllabled "Bayloo" they talk about.
Two issues here: where "Bayloo" (roughly [béylù], though the phonetic details will depend on fine details of Arne's sister-in-law's dialect) comes from; and why Arne's sister-in-law doesn't recognize his reproductions of her pronunciation (I'll assume that his reproductions are close enough to accurate). The first question is easy; the second has a more complex, and much cooler, answer.
(Re)name that bookFebruary 5, 2013
Back in September, Michael Erard approached his Facebook friends with this query:
The UK publisher that's putting out Babel No More [: The Search for the World's Most Extraordinary Language Learners] doesn't like the title, "Babel No More," so they want to change it, and "Superlinguists" is their suggestion. This presents a slight problem, as science-of-language linguists (to whom I have more than a small allegiance) often resent the other sense of the word (a person who speaks many languages, often professionally) because it muddies laypeople's perceptions of what they do. What do you think?
The technical term Michael uses in his book is hyperpolyglots. I gather that the UK publisher found the American title too opaque (fully comprehensible only through the subtitle) and balked at Hyperpolyglots because of its technicality. Michael's friends gave advice that was all over the map.
As of this morning, no decision had been made. Michael gave them alternatives and was concerned that they would try to get Superlinguists into the business somehow.
WuggianaJanuary 16, 2013
On Thomas Thurman's Facebook page, passed on by Bert Vaux this morning, a linguistics cartoon:
The cartoon alludes to the Wug Test in psycholinguistics.
Foreign language learning softwareJuly 12, 2012
A friend wrote me a few days ago about Paul Pimsleur's language-learning schemes, which were on sale; he said that this guy sold language-learning tapes. I pointed out that Pimsleur died in 1979, and that Simon and Schuster now ran the franchise. (This is no reflection on the software, which I haven't checked out.)
Then there's a Berlitz program, started by Maximilian B., who died in 1921, and continued in the family (eventually on-line) through his grandson Charles, who died in 2003.
And then there's Rosetta Stone, an indomitable lady, who lives quietly in Arlington VA, close to the cosmopolitan and multilingual precincts of D.C. She teaches many languages, all over the world. And advertises relentlessly.

I have been using this recipe (or variants of it) since it was published. Always turns out terrific. The accompanying 4 pepper salsa is a must. It takes time, but is well worth it. Even though this is supposed to be all healthy which is why they make you use mozzarella, I highly recommend sprinkling a little bit of Mexican Cojita cheese at the end. You don't need a lot, just a little. Makes a difference.

Your headcanon is not actual canon.
A showrunner does not have an obligation (legal, moral, or otherwise) to not contradict your fic. If the show is still airing, you will probably be jossed to hell and back. This is not a new concept. Stop acting like it is.
New canon is still canon and until you join the show's writing staff it is still more true than your meta posts. Canon gives no shits about your reblogs.
Characterization that does not fit in neatly with your preconceived notions of the character is not "bad characterization" nor "wrong". Characters, like actual people you know in real life, can be both a cocky asshole one minute and a heartbreaking puddle of tears the next. Remember how you were a total jerk and cut in line at the grocery store without asking but then you went home to cuddle your dog? This is like that, only on TV the trauma will get amped up tenfold and the person you cut in front of would be plotting your death.
Fans and fandom exist in spaces beyond tumblr. Do not assume that a circle-jerk of reblogs from your followers counts as a good sample size for a fandom as a whole. It really, really doesn't.
A kind character is not the same as a boring character. Believe it or not, some people can enjoy a hero who emphatically isn't an antihero. (Does the world need another show about a morally grey dude tormented by his past mistakes? Personally, I am really sick of shows trying their best to manipulate me into sympathizing with their incredibly suspect antihero dudes as said antihero does horrific things over and over but it's OKAY because he has FEELINGS and STARES EMOTIONALLY INTO THE HORIZON sometimes. I get enough of that shit on Mad Men, okay. And even then I still really hate Don Draper as a fictional person.)
Teen Wolf is still a genre show and it is very aware of this fact. Nobody outside of fandom is going to claim it's the best shit since The Wire, and I doubt fans would even go that far. That said, the people who still claim to watch Teen Wolf because it's "so bad" just come off as people who have literally never watched genre television with any regularity. Until a racist truck gets caught in a sharknado that wipes out half of Beacon Hills, I will hold firm that this show is not even remotely embarrassing for genre tv.
(I am not even going to go into the trend of "a show's problems can only be addressed via aggressive rhetoric on the Internet" because that is a thing I can't be bothered with right now. Gotta love tumblr fandom, y'all.)

The first trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation has landed online, and as you might have expected, it's very big and very loud. What you might not have expected however, is that it's also a lot of fun!
The film sees the G.I. Joes terminated bar a few survivors (including Adrianne Palicki and Dwayne Johnson), who must go head to head with the evil Zartan in order to clear their names.
Check out the new trailer below…
Despite the plot appearing to bear more than a slight resemblance to that of Ghost Protocol, we're cautiously optimistic about this one. The action looks very solid indeed (how about that mountainside sequence?), The Rock is suitably badass and Bruce Willis is on hand to supply some extra cool points.
Top marks also for that electro treatment of The White Stripes' Seven Nation Army. We'll be hoping the film can live up to this action-packed teaser when it arrives in UK cinemas on 22 June 2012.

TEAMS: Louisville Cardinals
Why should he stay? Anyone would be crazy to not have a guy return that was in many Player of the Year conversations. Louisville needs him. The incoming class has some good guards and guys who can create, but you never truly know what you are going to get until they get on campus (see UK last season). So, with that, you would have a great sense of security going into season at the two guard position. Leadership. While Smith has a lighthearted fun personality, I believe he still has the intangibles to be a leader for this team, and I think they are going to need it. With the exit of Peyton Siva and the likely exit of Gorgui Dieng, you lose a great deal of leadership. Free throw shooting (one of the best in recent Louisville history). Defensive tenacity (especially in the press). To keep it simple, Russ Smith is one of the best in college basketball at creating his shot and getting to the basket…you never turn that away. Why should he go? Russ Smiths numbers…will drop next s...

Today the Supreme
Court hears yet another corporate first amendment rights case:
Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. This case is not about
free speech, which has recently captured the outrage of Americans with
Citizens United and the pending McCutcheon case. It is about religious
freedom. Who would have thought that we'd see
the day corporate lawyers would argue that for-profit corporations can
practice spirituality?
The Greens, who own the chain of 500 arts and crafts
stores employing more than 13,000 people, mostly women, are
evangelical Christians. They claim their corporation is being
discriminated against on religious grounds. The
Greens find fault with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provision
providing contraceptives to women. They have a beef with the morning
after pill, claiming it is an abortive, and that their religion
prohibits its use. Because of their personal beliefs, the Greens don't
believe their corporation should be forced to provide insurance to
their employees, who might access the pill through the coverage for
which Hobby Lobby pays. The Greens have a right to
religious freedom, but their corporation does not.
If this case goes the wrong way, an avenue would open to
the owners of corporations that would allow religious
objections to myriad laws, perhaps even hiring, based on religious
In the article "Divine Incorporation", Move to Amend Team
member Sabina Kahn takes a more in depth look at the implications of
the case.
It is hard to know which idea is more
preposterous, that for-profit corporations are spiritual
beings and practice religion, that corporations are entitled to
Constitutional rights, or that money is protected political speech.Join the fight against Corporate Personhood and all of

The Chesapeake Bay Small Watershed Grants (SWG) Program awards grants of $20,000 to $200,000 to organizations and local governments that work on community-based projects to improve the condition of their local watershed while building stewardship among residents. Small Watershed Grants support local restoration and protection actions that help restore healthy waters, habitats and wildlife in the Chesapeake Bay region.
Since 2000, the Small Watershed Grants Program has provided more than $27 million to support 626 projects throughout the Bay watershed. These grants have been used by recipients to leverage close to $90 million in matching funds, for a total of more than $115 million supporting local community restoration projects.
The Small Watershed Grants Program is administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and primarily funded by the U.S. EPA Chesapeake Bay Program. Additional funding partners vary annually, but have included the U.S. Forest Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano didn't break any NFL kneel-down rules and still isn't apologizing for his aggressive tactics of going after the New York Giants when they were lined up in victory formation.
"To me it's a clean, hard, tough, finish-the-game play," Schiano said on Monday. "Some people disagree with that. That's certainly what makes the world go round. Everybody has opinions. I don't have any remorse or regret. It's clean hard football. It was no sneak attack. We were down ready to go, and that's how we do it all the time."
What the first-year NFL coach did against the Giants -- instructing his defensive lineman to plow into the Giants' offensive line with Eli Manning lined up in victory formation with 5 seconds left on the clock in New York's 41-34 victory-- sparked a debate on whether the Bucs crossed the line when it comes to kneel-down etiquette.
The NFL said the Bucs didn't break any league rules and doesn't plan to take any action against Schiano or the team.
"There were no penalties called on the play and it is not illegal for the defence to make contact on a kneel-down," league spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email to The Associated Press.
What was less clear if any players might be subject to fines. There was pushing and shoving in the pile, and punches appeared to be thrown at the end of the play.
"Conduct that took place during the play that may warrant discipline will be reviewed under our normal process," Aiello said.
After Sunday's game, Coughlin said he felt such plays have no place in the NFL. Manning called it "a little bit of a cheap shot," and both said it unnecessarily increased the risk of injuries on the final play.
The Giants coach had little to say on the subject Monday, saying it was up to the league.
"I said what I said and I believe it to be accurate with regards to the number of years that I've been in this league, and I've said my piece about it," Coughlin said.
Reaction around the NFL was mixed, although a lot of people sided with the rookie head coach with one NFL victory over Coughlin, who has guided the Giants to two Super Bowl titles.
"The game wasn't over," Arizona defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said. "I don't see why Coughlin was ... complaining."
Schiano arrived in Tampa Bay after 11 years at Rutgers with a reputation for being a tough-nosed disciplinarian, and his players have bought into his philosophy of playing until the final whistle.
"I'll do anything for the coach. I believe in everything he coaches," Bucs defensive tackle Roy Miller said, adding that Schiano prepares the team "for every single thing that can come up in a game. ... That's our No. 1 advantage."
Schiano said the play against the Giants worked several times during his tenure at Rutgers.
"We've caused a fumble four times in the last five years with that play, and it's something that we practice," he said.
Asked if he would have asked his players to do the same thing against the Giants if it had not been a one-score game, the coach declined to speculate.
"I'm not going to deal in" what ifs, the coach said. "I'm the one who makes the decision to call that. We have that in our play book, and if I choose to call it, then I call it. If I don't, I don't."
The Giants also choose to kneel on the final play of the opening half at their own 8 yard-line, and the Bucs -- leading 24-13 at that point -- did not try to knock the ball loose from Manning.
"Think about the question. At the end of the game, if they throw the ball down and score, we lose anyway," Schiano said. "At halftime, if they do it they get seven points and the game goes on."
Dockett said whether he'd go after an opposing team taking a knee "depends on who you're playing against," citing NFC West division rivals San Francisco and Seattle as teams that would come after the Cardinals.
Quarterbacks Philip Rivers of San Diego and Christian Ponder of Minnesota said they aren't sure there's really any protocol for how defences should approach kneel-down situations.
"I mean, the ball's getting snapped. If we're going to go back there and hand it off, you'd expect them to come back and get it," Rivers said.
"I know there are times when I've kind of held the ball a little bit like when we're trying to run a little more clock before I take a knee. That kind of gets defences riled up: 'Go down, go down. If you're going to stand back there, we're coming,"' Rivers added.
"As a defence, you'd expect them to play until the very last second of the game," Ponder said. "Also, taking a knee, you want to be careful. As a quarterback, you want to feel safe. I don't know. It's a thin line. I see why Tampa Bay did it."
Miller said he didn't see future opponents targeting Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman when Tampa Bay finds itself kneeling at the end of a victory.
The Giants "just responded to what they perceived the situation. They didn't see it the way we saw it," Miller said. "We had a chance at the end of the game to get the ball back and it just didn't happen. But if you look at it the way you should, you understand and move on."
Tampa Bay travels to Dallas Sunday.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he was not concerned about the way Sunday's game ended.
"I don't want to speak to that situation. That was between Tampa Bay and the Giants. Certainly, there's a style of football they're trying to implement down there in Tampa and feel like that's in some ways indicative of how they want to play, how they're going to handle an end-of -the-game situation," Garrett said. "We're going to focus on our team and the things that we've got to get better at, and preparing for that ball game."

By Real Simple Magazine Aug 16, 2012 7:04PM
If you avoid doing laundry in the evening because you don't want to wait up for it before you go to bed, this tip will change the way you do the wash. Experts agree that it's actually OK to let your clothes sit in the washing machine overnight. That way you can transfer them to the dryer first thing in the morning, and fold your clothes while watching the "Today" show.
If you can get them to the dryer before hitting the hay, use this trick to steam away any wrinkles that have settled overnight. And get more solutions to your laundry conundrums.

An Interagency Transportation, Land Use, and Climate Change Initiative
Planning for a rapidly growing region like Central New Mexico in an arid climate means addressing challenges of congestion, sprawl, energy use, vehicle emissions, and water scarcity exacerbated by climate change. With funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), National Park Service (NPS), and Bureau of Land Management (BLM), a group of federal agencies and the Mid-Region Council of Governments (MRCOG), located in Albuquerque, NM, is embarking on a project to help the region address these intertwined challenges using scenario planning. This project builds off of and complements an earlier scenario planning and climate change pilot in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The one-pager below summarizes the project.
Central New Mexico Project One-Pager (PDF, 212 KB)
Central New Mexico Project Study Area Map (PDF, 1.38 MB)
Anticipated Timeline and Products
The project launched in July 2013 after the selection of the Albuquerque region from a pool of several applicants. The project is anticipated to be completed by December 2014. Working with its partners, Volpe will develop several products, including the following:
- Climate change futures for the region.
- Integration Plans for MRCOG, BLM, and FWS on how to best incorporate the project results and final scenario into project proposals and short- and long-range plans.
- Guidebook that describes the phases of the project as well as challenges encountered and lessons learned throughout the course of the project. The focus of the guidebook will be on the steps another region of the country should follow if they choose to initiate a climate change scenario planning process.
If you are interested in pursuing a process similar to that which this project and the Cape Cod Pilot Project employed, please contact the project manager (see right column).

The eWeek article, MapQuest Founder Chases Local Search Crown, offers a look at a new local search technology player, Local Matters, and its founder Perry Evans.
Evans was also the founder of MapQuest and a co-founder of Jabber, IM technology. We first blogged about Local Matters in May. The company plans to license its local search technology platform to providers of Yellow Pages.
By returning search results for small businesses that do not have Web sites, Evans argues that his company can outperform local search services from Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corp., America Online Inc. and Amazon.com's A9 engine..."Local search is a booming business, but Google and Yahoo are offering a very limited experience. The content they provide is not pervasive about local business and that gives us a big advantage. There's no better place to find local business data than the Yellow Pages," Evans said.
The article goes on to say that Local Matters will offer mobile search (via SMS) and the ability to "shuttle" results to wireless devices. This sounds similar to how you can quickly send results from Yahoo Local to a mobile phone. Perry Evans also tells eWeek that future versions of the Local Matters platform will include the use of "widget" technology like what's seen from Apple and Yahoo's Konfabulator.
We're already playing with widgets quite a bit and we think we can do something there to present personal local lists on demand. That's an exciting area for us."
Postscript: For more about Perry Evans and Local Matters check out this interview he did with Adena Schutzberg and Joe Francica in Directions Magazine. We've also learned that Evans will be the keynote speaker at the Location Intelligence Conference in April.

The Ever Present Debate – Linking Out From Your Website
Now here is a topic I have been meaning to write about for quite some time, linking out. I probably mentioned it somewhere on this blog, but I'm sure I haven't given it the required attention. So we are talking about linking out, the thing that a great number of bloggers and webmaster fear. Well I am here to shatter those fears and those illusions.
If you are active with keeping up on new happenings and news from noted SEO websites like SEOmoz, Search Engine Journal, or even keeping track on Sphinn (note how many links out in once sentence are here) you probably know everything there is to know about linking building and linking out, but if you don't, it's time to start, and you will start here by learning why you should link out from your website.
Now the fear of linking out mostly comes from few SEO myths going around, like linking to sites can harm your rankings, can get you penalized by the search engines and can hurt your PR. While the PR claim may have some truth behind it when I put everything on scale linking out far overweight's with benefits.
The first argument, and one that cannot be disputed, is that no blog, no matter how old and how big can have all the needed info on it, not to mention tools, which is why we need to link out. Here on Practical SEO blog everything revolves around SEO, but even if I write every day for years I won't be able to cover everything or to say it as good as someone else, which is why I link out. In other words I want my readers to appreciate me thinking of them, which is why I point them out to a more valuable resource or a resource that can help in areas where I can't. So don't worry about people leaving your site, they will appreciate it and they will remember who pointed this resource to them and they will come back to find more.
The next part why you should link out is because search engines know how to value that type of behavior. While linking to spam sites can get your rankings down, linking to quality websites and resources can raise your authority in the eyes of the search engines. According to the rule of thumb, good sites link to good sites and crappy sites link to crappy sites. This is not true 100% of the time, but in most cases it is how it is.
Probably the reason why most people link out, and I totally agree with their angle, is to get links back. In most cases when you link out the link will be noticed, in some cases you can even say hey, I mentioned you on my blog, check it out. So when a link is noticed there is a high chance that the webowners will appreciated and sometimes link back to your site if he or she finds it useful, or maybe just out of common courtesy.
I think you are beginning to see the value of linking out from your blog. So start brainstorming, what type of websites and blogs can you link out to and why would you. I mean you don't have to link out only from relative content, so don't do it just for the sake of linking out, but when you want to link out of your blog you should consider who you are actually linking out to. Charity and non-profit websites and free tools are always a great thing to link out to, as well as any authority in your niche, be that a website, a blog or a person, even twitter accounts count.
Keep all this in mind when writing your next post, and in the end you should keep an eye out for the total number of outgoing links, you don't want them to reach the sky, that alone will hurt you. Roundups are a great way to link out, but I'm not a big fan of those without a reason, a weekly roundup is more like an automatic way to link to others and fill in the hole for content. Don't get me wrong, some do it because that is how their websites work and what their visitors are used to, so why change it, for me I like to link naturally where due, and for no other reason. If I want to thank someone I will do it from my post, speaking of which I will now recommend a girl that has nothing to do with my industry but is very cute and helped me a lot in one of my last working projects.
So guys and girls I present to you lovely Stephanie, a girl who runs Cinnamon Kitten blog and who was originally the inspiration for this linking out post. So if you are a cosmetic or fashion addict and you live in Canada this is a place to go. Stephanie thanks for your help last week and I hope you got used to my blog before your batteries ran out. For the rest of you, keep in mind the network of blogs around you and make sure you respect them not only by visiting their blogs and commenting from time to time, but also giving a link here and there, even if it is a thank you not inside a niche topic like this one. The best way to end this post is by saying, link unto others as you would have them link unto you!

Some bloggers are really afraid to link out because they think that readers will find them insufficient or something but like you said, that is not the case. We cannot live alone in this world so its best to link or branch out and find useful information that can help both you and your readers. Linking out is one way of supporting and helping each other, for bloggers that is.
Kyle @ FinallyFast.com on February 10, 2011
I really appreciate you covering this topic in an in-depth way. I've often heard that you deplete your PR by linking out a lot. You're post has a great point and I'll definitely be sure to share the link love a bit more liberally from now on.
Alex@gifts for wife on February 17, 2011
My only problem with linking inside articles is that you have to actually place the link on the word, and if you link out 10 times in 500 words, well, that just feels like a waste of time. For me. Because i have absolutely no patience

For some bloggers, they think that linking out is a bit risky on their part because they are pushing their readers to other sites. Chances are for their readers to shift their interest to these sites especially if the owner writes more useful information. The act of sharing is much appreciated by readers than being selfish anyway.

I'd like to be happy :) I'd like to have started a family, preferably not living in Cape Town, or if in Cape Town, a beautiful place with amazing views.
I want to be with people who make me happy, whether that includes people which are in my life at the moment. I'd like to be with the person I'm with right now (We all do, don't we?) and I want to have no complications.
I understand that life will have it's curves and bumps but I want to be able to get through them with my loved ones,
That's what I see in 10 years.
Just because a person is a good actor, doesn't mean they'd be good in any role.

We have invested in some really great reds over the years but also enjoy pinot noir and full-bodied whites. The three zone option is therefore perfect for us.

theWALL at ROOF
Justin Thompson co-created, concepted, designed and integrated a first-of-its-kind in hospitality permanent 3D projection mapping installation with San Jose's Dan Block, known simply as "theWall" at ROOF on theWit ranked Chicago's #1 nightclub and one of the top 3 rooftop nightclubs in the world. The ROOF installation features an Arkaos media server with DMX controls of theWall and 48 ColorKinetics LED panels were installed and customized with a library of custom content created by Justin and co-creator Dan Block. The installation includes a giant drop-down flat projection screen for presentations and HD sports games with input and output ranging from blu-ray to DirecTV to a client-ready DVI plug-in jack. The project was overseen by owner of theWit Scott Greenberg. Justin Thompson served as in-house content creator and resident VJ- live mixing visuals during live DJ performances. Dan Block remained consultant on the project. You can see the full press release (with a whole bunch of tech details) HERE.
This video was shot by Matt Kowynia and Justin Thompson, edited by Justin Thompson.
Content mixed and projected onto theWall in this video created by Justin Thompson… and yes- he's the tattooed guy setting up and running the system in this video. Justin is now looking to expand his installation base, seeking his next big project- permanent or temporary travelling 3D projection mapping installations and custom created content for clubs, hotels, touring acts, DJ's, and events, so if you are looking for an upgrade in the visuals department, email him at justin-at-subversivevids-dot-com.
And BONUS!- some content from the WALL:
The Ice Book- Super Intricate Projectionmapping Paper Models
When I was a kid, Saturdays were sometimes spent going to work with my Dad. He was an architect and since it was a weekend, we had the run of the place. I invariably would gravitate to the drafting room which, at his place, was huge! Lots of workstations, cabinets with every kind of colored pen/pencil/tip combo, electric erasers, all manner of paper, model making supplies, etc. Basically, everything that a small curious boy could get in trouble with! The thing that fascinated me the most though, were the scale models of all the buildings they were working on. Super intricate detail, all the way down to the little people cutouts and hand railings, as well as street signs and various decorative flora. So I was thrilled to come across the work of Davy and Kristin McGuire, an artistic duo out of the UK that does small-scale paper modeling combined with projection techniques. They form The Ice Book and direct, design, and perform their original video/model mashups for everything from installations to live theater shows, dance performances, interactive video performances and everything in between.
Their paper models are extremely detailed and exquisitely cut. Adding the element of projection just completely brings them to life. They use After Effects and Final Cut to render the final video, and (no surprise here) Madmapper to map the sets. So often on this site I focus on large-scale scale work, only to realize the really detailed stuff is every bit as intriguing!
A couple of their pieces stand out- 'Psycho- Homage to Hitchcock' as well as 'The Hunter'.
Here's some fascinating examples via their Vimeo page:

Gear of Olympic Proportions
The end of summer is a weird time around here. The theatre season and school are about to start, I try to spend more time with my family, and the olympics are on. The damn olympics have managed to make everything seem to grind to a halt. We watch religiously and the opening ceremonies are way up there on the list. So it was that I watched and wasn't that impressed. They had to top Beijing after all, and that's a tall order. The big star was LED however and there were a couple of effects that I think are harbingers of things to come in LED-land. One is the LED tiles that are permanently installed throughout the stands. Tait Technologies, a longtime provider of gear on a huge scale (U2, JayZ, Roger Waters), provided the LED tiles to extend the graphic mapping of the opening ceremonies into the stands at the olympic stadium. This type of technology is going to start becoming the norm with systems like this and also with the advent of gear like the Xyloband being deployed (see Coldplay's use HERE). But here's the official word: (more…)
d3 Technologies Dreams Big…
Artisan, part of UVA, used d3 to map, simulate and output content onto sculptural LED tunnels for USA telecom company Sprint's new cinema announcement. It's a great peek into what it takes to shoot a quality product. David Bajt and Luke Malcolm give some insight into the process….and I guess since I'm a Sprint user- at least I know my money is going towards something a little more than person's pocket. Plus- who doesn't love the sight of a crazy-huge jib poking a room chock full of technology with a pricey camera on the end? Keep an eye out for the super-fine Barco NX series LED panels……Check out the "making of" video and their press release:
May 29, 2012 – If your phone could truly "sleep," what would it dream? A new interactive on-screen cinema experience created by Sprint in partnership with "Team Sprint" encourages moviegoers to turn off their mobile device in exchange for a custom mobile phone "dream". More than 1,000 NCM Movie Theaters will show the experience on nearly 18,000 screens as part of Sprint's courtesy-message sponsorship that asks moviegoers to turn off their phones prior to the start of a movie. Artisan, the new sister division of UK based design company United Visual Artists, was taken on board (more…)
MeshWarpServer- My New Favorite Toy….
My Dad was an architect. Well, first he was a draftsman, then an architect. When I was a kid, I used to hang out in my Dad's office on the weekends (he pretty much worked ALL the time)….but I remember very clearly playing with all the models that were there. They had every imaginable scale of every kind of building- little cars, little people, tiny shrubs, fake grass, miniature trees. Combine this with all kinds of architectural drawing gadgets, erasers, and pens of every hue, and you had a little kid's dream world…or a parent's nightmare….
So it was with great pleasure that I came across this video of Martin Fröhlich's MeshWarpServer that shows projectionmapping in a whole new way. Well, you should watch the video first then read on….
So for all of you that want to absorb the technical details, the following video really goes into depth. MeshWarpServer is powerful stuff. There are many features beyond just mapping, as you'll soon see:
I plan on overdosing on MWS and doing a full write-up…(just as soon as I get time), but I seem to have inherited my Dad's work addiction. Make sure to check it out and give it a test drive!
Plus it's just fun to say "Meshwarpserver….Meshwarpserver…"

@ Cinéma Spoutnik /// 18-19/05
ETC pixelToy
ETC has released a beta of a potentially useful app for all the lighting Freaks out there. It's called 'pixelToy' and from the looks of it I think the squints have another tool for invading video world. With the lighting folks in mind, they've kept the user interface completely devoid of text and totally drag-and-drop. No excuses from the lampies about complexity please! It looks like a simple effects generator for lighting instruments, LED arrays, groups of dimmers, and the like. There's a Timeline with Tracks (more…)
VVVV to Map 3D Objects
I just came across a great tutorial on vvvv, the graphical toolkit for prototyping, and just HAD to add a link on the Tutorials for Projection page. This will give you a great understanding of the principles involved with complex projection- and while you're there, be sure to download it and give it a try. It can have a bit of a learning curve, but like all things- practicepracticepractice! Check it out HERE
The Visual Drugstore Mercedes Mapping
We love The Visual Drugstore here at Projectionfreak and came across this great vid featuring their work on the Mercedes Building in Stuttgart. In celebration of the remarkable 125th anniversary of Mercedes-Benz, the building of the former firm was taped from the center with mapping. The show was unusual (more…)

W3Fi at BMOCA
The W3Fi install at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art was launched in June 2011 during their exhibition "BIODOME- An Experiment in Diversity". From their website:
"On the walls you will can read an explanation of the W3FI philosophy lain out in a series of text and symbols moving from the S3LF wall, to the W3 wall and finally to the W3FI wall. The walls also feature statistics about national and international use of the internet, mobile phones, and social networks. On the S3LF and W3 walls you will also see live tweets from Boulder area residents who use the word "I" or "we." The right half of the W3FI wall is a space for people to add themselves to the W3FI network by having their face captured and added to an ever-growing forest of interconnected trees.
On the Boulder topographic table visitors can watch 3 sets of information about connectivity in the region. One is a display of all the registered cell towers in the region. Another is a display of each of nearly 10,000 discovered wifi routers in the region. (more…)
The MIDAS Project
A synesthetic exploration of traditional artistic performance and digital art, MIDASpaces was devised as an interactive projection mapped space for the Creative Arts. Using the latest tracking technology, the space learns and reacts to performance, allowing the artist to explore new improvised choreography live and in time. The team worked in tandem with dancer Tom O'Donnell. Given a narrative revolving around man's ever-changing relationship with technology; the movements challenge assumptions within performance and the evolving role of the performer within art.
An interactive projection mapped project- MIDASpaces employs a combination of light projection, sound and camera tracking to add a digital dimension to the Creative Arts in a real world space. The project made use of custom software written in openFrameworks (C++) running in conjunction with QuartzComposer (openGL) to create the visuals. (more…)
Avtek Maps the Micra
Projection/AV company Avtek Solutions did this six-projector show for a product launch of the Nissan Micra, in conjunction with Exhibit Designer and Another Avenue. It looks like the car got it's own 2 projectors and the walls were done with the remaining 4, but there's some great stuff going on!

Apperati Effimeri
Apperati Effimeri is a visual collective that started in Bologna, Italy in 2008. Taking a cue from the Ephemeral Arts which were quite popular in the Baroque period, Ephemeral means to be transient and short lasting – only existing for a little amount of time. In keeping with this tradition, Apperati Effimeri work on the urban environment in a non-invasive way, giving life to the pre-existing shapes. The architecture becomes a screen of live video projections as well as the subject itself. Love their work on trees!
And their impressive showreel:
The Macula
I came across a couple of fine examples of projection mapping from The Macula Project. They are out of the Czech Republic and have some great stuff on Vimeo. Here's a link to a video they were involved with on a project for Fanta. They did some of the animation work and we can't post the video or the story just yet, but here's a link to Christie Digital's writeup of the event. Give it a try!

text: Coming up on August 8, 7pm is the second of our Melbourne Recital Centre concerts for the year, and we are voyaging to mid-17th-century Europe, where the Barbarini family were bad, dangerous to know, and one of the most powerful families on the continent. From its ranks came patricians, a pope and a penchant for musical patronage that was on show both at home in Rome and in Parisian exile. Including works by Kapsberger, Galilei, Landi and Lambert, drawn from a world of luxury, excess and corruption, Exile is a seductive demonstration of the sort of music that can be bought when money is no object.

30 Day Book Meme….Day 16 - Favorite female character Candy Quackenbush Abarat by Clive BarkerI like Candy because all she ever dreamt of in Chickentown, Minnesota was that there was something more out there and she actually found it. But what I really love about her is the mystery surrounding her life and why she feels more at home in the strange world of the Abarat then she ever did in Chickentown. I also love how loyal she is to her friends even her abusive father and her ability to be strong in the face of so many problems.

Winter Warm up SYDBMA
not all styles are accepted. gotta love something different that works for them.
(via nicolas3298)
With the tag line, "There's no such thing as overkill", you know this company cuts no corners. Skingrowsback is an Australian bag company that manages to produce the gamut of bike soft products: full-size work bags, hip pouches, pedal straps, u-lock holders, to simplistically perfect radio hostlers, yet still maintains a hand-made craftsmanship that is apparent in each product.
Look forward to seeing lots of those indispensable u-lock loops and hip pouches (you know, those ones you keep procrastinating on buying but then use everyday after you finally do) as key prizes from Skingrowsback. And don't hesitate to discuss your next custom bag purchase with Jamie when you see him.
CMWC warsaw , see you in Lucerne
The European Cycle Messenger Championships are coming to Scotland in 2012. In the year of the 200th birthday of Kirkpatrick MacMillan, the father of the bicycle, Edinburgh has been chosen to host the 17th ECMC, a spectacular urban cycling event which has been gathering force over the last two decades.

A Trash Bags wallet, in exclusive color combinations, will be included in every racer packet. Ahem, every PRE-REGISTERED racer packet.

Housing Shortage Presents Challenges for Buyers
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) While the housing demand continues to outpace supply in various urban pockets around the U.S., potential homeowners are faced with competing bids from other buyers.
The pent-up demand has created bidding wars from New York to San Francisco, putting additional pressure on homebuyers, many who are buying their first home in an unprecedented climate.
Despite weaker job growth, there remains a shortage in housing supply to satisfy current demand, said Jeff Meyers, president of Meyers Research, a Beverly Hills, Calif. data provider for real estate. Job growth is expected to pick up throughout this year, which will only increase demand. Unemployment will finish at 6.4% in 2014, which will be its fourth consecutive year of improvement, according to a forecast from Zonda, a mobile application for the residential homebuilding industry.
While all local markets experience their own dynamics and quirks, areas such as San Mateo county in California have more demand for housing because of a strong job market and limited development activity compared to weak demand in Wayne County in Michigan due to poor labor market conditions and an embattled housing market, he said.
Consumers with extra cash have the upper hand in trying to win a bid, especially in markets such as Manhattan where demand for a two-to-three bedroom apartment has pushed prices up to the $1.5 million to $3 million range, said Kinnaird Fox, director of development at Fenwick Keats Real Estate in New York which specializes in residential properties.
"This fierce competition created bidding wars with nearly every new listing since the beginning of 2014," she said. "Cash rules for obvious reasons in a market like this."
The bidding war frenzy has turned off many qualified buyers who are wary of the increase in prices, Fox said.
"Despite what seems like a booming sellers' market, many qualified buyers may be looking, but choose not to jump in," she said. "With buyers losing out on their bids, buyer fatigue sets in and some withdraw from the market. One could say the lack of inventory masks the actual demand."
While some cities have a weak demand for housing, many have an even weaker supply, which yields in a housing shortage, said David Reiss, professor of law at Brooklyn Law School in New York.
"Some communities place severe restrictions on new housing construction so even modest upticks in demand can push rents and prices higher," he said.
Buyers should not forget the fundamental rule of real estate. Location can have far reaching effects, especially if you are moving a significant distance, said Reiss.
"Perhaps first and foremost, ask whether the house you are considering is the right one for your family," he said. "If the answer is yes, then you are probably on the right track because a house is first and foremost a home and secondly an investment."
