Culture Shock
By Amy Dalness
Interactive Art
There are three criteria for a great video game: story line, game play and graphics. It's the trifecta of gaming brilliance all designers must perfect if they want their fish to dominate in a highly populated ocean. But in the world of webgames, a designer can hone one or two of these elements to create a successful product. In honor of our video game issue, here are a few casual games that have mastered the interactive art inherent in the genre.

The Sound of June
Chamber Music Albuquerque broadens its audience by diversifying its talent
By Simon McCormack
It began with a small group of volunteers bringing world-class musicians to their hometown 67 years ago. Since then, Chamber Music Albuquerque has watched classical music shrink from the consciousness of mainstream America. As the organization gradually expanded its season, the folks at Chamber Music Albuquerque felt the need to stem the tide of the nationwide trend. To this end, they brought in Executive Director Joseph Franklin and gave him a mission: Put new faces in the seats.

What likely happened to the Cardassian Union after the war
View Single Post
August 20 2012, 10:55 AM
Re: What likely happened to the Cardassian Union after the war
This I guess would depend on whether the original occupation force needed to be of significant military strength. In many cases, I could see a planet being kept subjugated by relatively weak forces that would never have been withdrawn from the world even during the height of the war. Although it could be argued that whenever the Alpha Axis powers observed such a world, they would have sent a small military unit of their own to help liberate the world, at very low cost to themselves but high cost to the Union...
Chiefly, though, I could see the campaign being waged much like the WWII Pacific one, with individual "islands" being denied strategic significance by controlling the shipping to and fro. This would reduce the value of fortresses, bases or raw material sources alike. In contrast, an actual attempt to conquer such a world might involve a high cost in lives, as there was some emphasis on bloody infantry-style warfare in the dialogue describing the Dominion War (even if we saw little of it on screen). In order to avoid the loss of life, the Alpha Axis might skip conquest, thus leaving the local infrastructure standing as well, and allowing the Union to resume exploitation operations unless the peace treaty specifically forbade them from doing so.
Of course, the UFP would be likely to insist on such a peace treaty on humanitarian grounds, even if the other Alpha partners would not. But the Feds might also decide to allow the Union to continue exploitation for humanitarian purposes (that is, to prevent mass starvation on Cardassia) if they just agreed to doing it more gently from now on.

The action taken such that when having sex in a car with a sun roof, the man thrusts upward so that the woman's (Jill) head emerges through the sunroof and moans in delight. Similar to the childrens toy the Jack in a Box especially when performed with random thrusts.
I was dogging in the park last night and whacked it while watching a Jill in the Box.

To watch a thousand lemmings plummet just because
The first one slipped
Lyric Meaning
Conformity in a group, "If your friends were jumping off a bridge would you follow them then?" A loss of identity and submission to group mentality even if it's clearly in a negative direction.
Additionally, if the first one slips, they initiate a series of reactions based on an initial mistake. He is also saying that people miss the reasoning behind their actions and just follow what they see.

Comment Re:Yep (Score 1) 166
Few politicians actually put out a platform these days. The ones from the two major parties (has anyone noticed one of them calls it a "brand" now?) in the US don't; for example, see Clinton's recent answer about approving the pipeline, or Trump's recent answer about whether Obama was born in the USA.
The few that do are usually one-issue candidates. Even if someone does publish a full platform, it's unlikely they're going to put out an opinion on every single law out there, even if they know it's somewhat controversial.

SARASOTA, Fla., Aug. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (NASDAQ: RCPI), a drug development company focused on chronic inflammatory disease and neurologic disorders, announced today that it filed with the Securities Exchange Commission its Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. The company has also announced a clinical and regulatory update.
Second Quarter, 2014:
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the company reported net sales of $0.7 million (gross sales less cash discounts, product discounts and product return allowance) compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease of 71% was attributable exclusively to decreased Anatabloc® sales volume driven by significantly reduced promotion and marketing expenditures associated with the administrative status of Anatabloc® during the period.
The company also reported positive gross profits of $0.4 million for second-quarter 2014, compared to a gross profit of $1.0 million for the same period in 2013. The decreased gross profit is attributable exclusively to the decreased Anatabloc® sales volume discussed above.
The company had a net loss of approximately $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to a net loss of approximately $8.7 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation and severance costs, offset by lower sales and marketing expenses and legal expenditures.
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the company had a basic and diluted loss per share of $(0.07), compared to a basic and diluted loss per share of $(0.05) for the comparable period in 2013.

Envisioning a more beautiful bypass
WINDHAM - With spring on the way, officials are planning ahead when it comes to keeping the town-owned island on the Route 111 bypass landscaped and maintained.
During the March 18 meeting of the Board of Selectmen, the question of who would be responsible for maintaining the landscaped byway was discussed in detail among board members.
During the recent budget process, the board agreed to meet with the town's existing contractors to figure out who would be responsible for the site's ongoing maintenance.
Town Administrator David Sullivan said he met with project officials earlier this month and during this week's meeting shared further details of the project's scope and anticipated bid process.
Last year the area wasn't maintained as it should have been, and Sullivan said the site is now in serious need of some litter removal, mowing, weeding and mulching.
"This year we're proposing the bypass be maintained four times per year," Sullivan said.
He said that in order to stay within the budget, the work should go to Boyden's Landscaping, a Pelham-based company that already does similar projects in town.
Sullivan said he expects the project to cost about $5,000 a year.
The budget allocates $16,000 for the sole purpose of landscaping various town-owned sites.
"We have to do something this year because that whole area looks horrible," Selectman Kathleen DiFruschia said of the bypass. "But I'd like to give (Boyden) the chance to remove the weeds and make the area look better."
Sullivan said this week's snowstorm would probably mean a later start for this year's beautifying, as April 1 was initially targeted as the project's starting point for the season.
The board agreed not to put the project to bid, and instead awarded a one-year contract to Boyden's Landscaping.

How to Cope with Information Overload
Walter G. Moss
Image via Shutterstock.In the 1840s, in his Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing, Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard wrote:A man .... steps out into the world's multiplicity, like one that comes from the country into the great noisy city, into the multiplicity where men engrossed in affairs hurry past one another, where each looks out for what belongs to him in the vast "back and forth," where everything is in passing ... For here one can experience everything possible, or that everything is possible. ... So this man stands there. He has in himself a susceptibility for the disease of double-mindedness. ... Swiftly, alas, swiftly he is infected -- one more victim. This is nothing new, but an old story. As it has happened to him, so it has happened with the double-minded ones who have gone before him.

Study of portait of Dorothy Day by Sarah Melici.

And it was primarily the saint's commitment to peace and helping the poor that influenced him. Since the new pope seems to have a good sense of humor, he might appreciate the following irony: Although the Catholic Church he now heads bars women from the priesthood and his church is often accused of gender bias, the twentieth-century person who most forcefully embraced the ideals of St. Francis was a woman -- Dorothy Day.

The Ready Position

The most frustrating part of fishing the saltwater flats with a fly rod, especially for someone new to this part of our sport, is the casting. I find that most new fly-casters, and even some intermediates, don't like to practice away from the water; they feel it's too much work. And it is a bit of work, at the beginning, but once we bypass that entry-level stage with saltwater tackle, say to the intermediate and up levels, casting is no work at all. Rather, it's pure pleasure. Personally, I love to cast.

Big Indian Creek is a small stream that originates in a glacial basin on the flank of a mountain in far-eastern Oregon. It runs high into July, holds its water well through summer, and finally subsides to mildness in autumn of the average year. The water gets thinner then, which is true of nearly all streams, small or otherwise: if the source is anything but a stable spring or tailwater release, the water is lowest late in the season.

Except for the angler, a fly reel is the only piece of fly-fishing equipment with any significant moving parts, and those of us with a weakness for fine reels appreciate them in part as machinery. Some offer the finely tuned elegance of a Ferrari, others the classic, understated solidity of a Rolls or Bentley. Hatch reels are a little different: their engineering appears to derive largely from a Brink's truck—a very handsomely crafted, precision-made, cleanly finished Brink's truck, to be sure. But their philosophical core clearly owes much to the armored car.

If you ask Western anglers to paint the face of The Orvis Company, you might end up with an illustration of some stuffy Classics professor in tweed casting a bamboo rod on a manicured streambank, trying to lure some minuscule brook trout from the brush with 7X tippet and a standard Adams dry fly. Somewhere along the fly-fishing timeline, that's the vision my hard-core Western friends and I developed. Fortunately, that stereotype got quashed a few years ago when I attended a trade show and met Tom Rosenbauer.

After a full day of flats fishing out of Abaco's Sandy Point, it was time for a much-anticipated Bahamian après-fishing ritual. Our group—Stu and Jeaninne Apte, Jean Cochran, Clint Kemp and me—huddled around the dining-room table and dove into piping-hot conch fritters with tall, chilled Mojitos in hand. Our host, marine artist and Black Fly Lodge Bonefish Club partner Vaughn Cochran, eventually joined us. He cleared off half the table and unrolled a white canvas.

The B&B is located in the quarter of Cannaregio, a part of the city that offers an authentic taste of Venetian life and little-known artistic gems.
Only a five-minute walk from the train station, within fifteen minutes of Saint Mark's Square, and even closer to the ancient Jewish Ghetto, this lovely loft is a great base to explore the city on foot and by boat, and to embark towards the history-laden islands of Murano (with its world-famous glass makers), Burano and Torcello.
The apartment is on the top floor of a sixteenth-century building. The bed-room reserved for guests is spacious and bright, with its own private deck, air-conditioning, television set, radio, and an adjacent bathroom.
I take a particular care preparing the breakfast, you find always fresh bread, butter, marmalade, orange juice, yogurt, brioches, biscuits, müesli, corn flakes, and anything you need for a good breakfast. In the good season, if you like, the breakfast could be served on the terrace, and in the winter season, is served in the kitchen.

I contacted Antonio to check on availability for a 3 night stay in his apartment. His room was booked but offered a full apartment in the same building. The apartment was amazing. Overall it was very spacious, clean, nicely furnished with a well stocked kitchen. The apartment consisted of a large bedroom with plenty of storage, a smaller living room with a sitting area and book shelf, a bath and a nicely sized kitchen with everything you need including a washing machine. Antonio supplied us with cereal, toast, sweet bread, yogurt, milk, butter and jam for breakfast! Yummy!
The apartment is located within a short walking distance from the train station. Not too many steps either! It is just off a lively street down an alley way so it was fairly quiet at night. The location was great!
We contacted Antonio with any questions we had and he was always quick to respond. He advised us on the best option for getting to the airport (water bus). Gave us tips on restaurants and supplied us with a map. A great host! We loved staying in his apartment. It was nice having so much space after weeks of staying in single room B&B's! I would defiantly stay here again if I am fortunate enough to make it back to Italy!

In the admin, I would like the admin media url to be accessible from any javascript.
I already have it included in the request context.
But in order to be able to access it from an included javascript,
<script type="text/javascript">
window.__admin_media_prefix__ = "{{ ADMIN_MEDIA_URL }}";
Do I have to put something like that in a base template or is there a cleaner way to do that ?

Bob, Wowza! I feel like I am reading and watching a story unfold. Love this!! Here is what I Feel and See. Her eyes are showing the trees and landscapes that surround her in the darkness of those woods. She once feared life and her surroundings, but she broke free, and now she will overcome anything that comes in her path. She is saying Back off with the red lipstick, showing her strength with her broken walls and glass effects because she over came the fear. Yet her beauty leads her through the woods and the darkness, as she returns for revenge if you cross her path.. :)

Friday Design
Happy Friday, dear readers! I hope you've had a good week and that you have lovely plans for the weekend. This is the last week of classes before final exam week here so it has been a bit of a crazy rush and I'm glad for a couple of days off. But before we hit the weekend, I wanted to share some fun design sources with you that may inspire you to finally clean up your photo organization or go take some beautiful photos this weekend.
This article by Lifehacker on 10 ways to improve your messy photo collection is chocked full of great tips to get a handle on your digital photos. As an archivist, I can't tell you how much I dread getting digital records that have no coherent filing system. For your own piece of mind and for your own ability to access your photos, find an organizational system that works for you and clean your photo files. For me, I still love printing out photos and putting them in albums to share, but I'm old fashioned that way.
Also in the realm of photography, check out Gizmodo's article on how to take better photos using your camera's mode dial. While I love the convenience of the camera on my phone, nothing beats having a DSLR for taking photos. Also, while it can be intimidating at first, it is also a lot of fun to learn and don't let anyone ever make you feel bad when you are learning. (Last bit because I unwisely looked at a few of the comments and was annoyed at people being rude about beginners learning photography.)
I have to say that I love having new desktop backgrounds and so I'm always excited to see the new crop of designs over at Smashing Magazine each month. Check out the June 2015 desktop wallpaper calendars to freshen your desktop. I love the owl one. :)
Finally, because most things I design aren't complete without some use of type, I had to share this month in typography by I Love Typography. So much inspiration in this post!
I hope you have a lovely weekend full of inspiring things to do and people to see. I'll be back soon with more. Allons-y!
Work, Goals, and the Light at the End of the Term
Happy Friday, dear readers! I hope that your week has gone well, you've accomplished what you've set out to do, and you have something fun planned for the weekend. At my university, we can see the light at the end of the quarter as we are done to the final week of classes and then the hurdle of finals week. Summer is almost here, even though it looks like January outside with all the fog and high clouds, and we can almost taste it. So today, I just wanted to share a few thoughts and links on work, goals, and the light at the end of the term.
I'm exhausted and I don't think I'm the only one. I love teaching at a university, but by the end of the spring quarter I'm pretty much spent. Spring quarter is when all the annual reports are due and everyone is trying to wrap up every project all at once. It is enough to make anyone exhausted and overwhelmed. When I came across this post, It's not just about working harder, you also need to work faster, I thought I couldn't have read it at a better time. We don't just need to work longer, we need to work faster. And to me faster doesn't mean we run around it a panicked miasma, making everyone around us feel panicked, too. Instead, we channel all our energy, remove all the drama and distractions, and just get work done. Be efficient. Don't complain about having to do work. Just do the work. It works. I'm not saying I can work full throttle all the time, but it does help to crank out the work at the end of the quarter, especially when I can see the light at the end of the term. (Yay, summer break!)
Doing this at work means we have more time for outside projects, although we have to remember that you can't achieve your goals if you're never working towards them. Great, short post by Lifehacker. It reminds me that it is easy to have a goal in my head, but much harder to continue to work towards that goal. But it is worth it because who doesn't like to level up in achievements? And we all define those achievements in different ways, which is the fun part. Dream big, then get working. Just don't forget to take a nap once in a while, too.
On the design front, I'm having way too much fun playing with Coolors: the super fast colour schemes generator for cool designers! (Their words, not mine.) It is easy, fast, and a lot of fun to play around with different color schemes. A great tool for those who feel overwhelmed by color choices when designing something new. I'm thinking this might be great for designing our new exhibit color palettes and marketing materials for the library.
And, because it will be summer soon, I just had to share two Joy the Baker recipes that sound amazing: blueberry cheesecake ice cream and strawberry cookies and cream cake. I will have to make these for summer parties this year.
I hope you have a lovely weekend, dear readers, full of fun and play and whatever you want. I'll be back soon with some more news and notes. Allons-y!
Tuesday Fun
Happy Tuesday, dear readers! It has been a gloomy few days in the Bay Area, but no rain, so I think we definitely need some fun. Today I have a few links to things that I think will give you a nice break during your work day.
Yes, it sounds crazy, but just try not to smile while watching CGI Giraffes dive into a pool. It is wonderful and relaxing.
Also, as we inch closer to summertime, at least around here, I feel the itch to travel. Since I can't do that right now, I have to instead get my fix by looking at these amazing botanical mazes. They're pretty fantastic.
Also, I had to share the last Fashionable Friday post from The Well-Appointed Desk: Fast and Furious edition. This is especially for my friend, Hanna, and one of our biology faculty members on campus who happens to share my enjoyment of the Fast and Furious movies.
While not strictly as fun as CGI giraffes, I had to share this short article on Lifehacker about saying no to yourself. So important to remember not to fill our time with more stuff just because we are rocking at time management. I totally have to remember this and was happy to see an article on the topic.
I hope you have a lovely week, dear readers. I'll be back soon with more news and notes. Allons-y!
Organization and Creativity as Partners
Happy Friday, dear readers! I hope your week has been lovely and you have some fun planned for the weekend. Before we get to the weekend, however, I wanted to take a few minutes to share some ideas about organization and creativity that I've been thinking about this week. I have numerous projects going on at the moment so I've been thinking a lot about how to be organized to get everything done, but I've also been thinking a lot about how to partner organization with creativity and how that works in my life and work.
So I didn't want to talk about creative organization. I think there are enough blogs out there writing about that. Instead I just wanted to share a few observations about how organization and creativity, at least for me, are partners instead of head-butting opposites. I know that there are people out there who believe that creativity has to be messy and I'd agree. But having a messy creativity process, like getting paint on the floor or ink on your wrists from all the edits on your manuscript are not the same as being unorganized. Sure, creativity is messy, just look at my kitchen table when I'm writing or my work desk when I'm creating a new tutorial or video for my classes. It's a super-big mess, maybe one that I'll share sometime with pictures. It's messy, but it isn't unorganized.
Being organized for me is a way of saving time and headspace so I can devote more energy to being creative. If my stuff is organized (and I have less of it to organize), then I don't waste precious minutes or hours searching for what I need, be it some more fountain pen ink, my audio recorder, or a stack of notes for a video script. I'm a firm believer in putting things away, in the same place, every time. It not only keeps it organized, but then I don't have to try to remember where I last saw something. I know where it is.
This, in turn, allows me to free up space in my head to organize thoughts and projects. Do you ever have days when it feels like the index cards or files in your brain are all hodge-podge on the floor? That each thought you have scurries away before you can link it to the next? I feel like that sometimes, but notice that I feel that way a lot less if I've been diligent about organizing my stuff, my time, and my projects. Then I actually have the room in my head to make connections I'd otherwise miss in the noise and I'm calm enough to get something new done. And, I like that.
One of the projects I'm currently working on is a poster session for ALA Annual. I'll be there on Sunday, June 28th, from 2:30 to 4:00 pm in the Exhibit Hall. You can see details about the poster session here. I'd love it if you'd stop by. We can talk graphic design and libraries. It will be fun or at least hopefully not awkward. I'll be posting more about poster design as I continue to work on them in the coming weeks.
I hope you have a wonderful spring weekend. I'll be back soon. Allons-y!
Tuesday Fun
Happy Tuesday, dear readers! Is it just me, or does the world seem to be spinning faster? I swear I don't have as many hours in the day as I did a few months ago and the days are getting longer and that just makes absolutely no sense to me. Then again, it could just be we are getting to the end of the quarter and there is too much to do. So in honor of all of that, let's take some time to have some fun because Tuesday needs some love, too.
If you teach, I'm sure you've gotten an email from a student at some point that started with the lovely salutation of "Hey, Prof!" If so, enjoy this wonderful comic from PhD Comics How to Write an Email to your Instructor or T.A.. Yeah, it is like that sometimes, though this quarter my class is fantastic so I've not had to deal with this particular brand of fun communication.
I love design and typography and am continually blown away by artists who hand-letter their designs. So please, give yourself a delightful break and watch Seb Lester draw logos by hand. Incredible!
xkcd is one of my favorite web comics and I'm so happy there's been a new biology comic I can share with students. Degree-off is wonderful. Enjoy.
I hope you have a wonderful, productive, fun, and awesome day, dear readers. Or, at least a day that is not super-stressful and worrisome. I'll be back soon with some thoughts on designing posters as I work towards completing mine for ALA Annual. :) Allons-y!
Bits and Bobs
Happy Friday, dear readers! Do you ever feel like all you have to talk about are bits and bobs that somehow make sense in your brain, but don't really seem to have a common thread that would make sense to anyone else? Yeah, this post is kinda like that. I just have a few things to share with you that may or may not be useful for you or your patrons, but they made sense to me, so I'm sharing them now.
I love books. No surprise there. I'm also a fan of adorable and useful infographics, so I had to share this one from BookPal. Yay, books!
Presented By BookPal
If you are trying to teach students that all websites that end in .edu, .org, or .gov are not necessarily great sources of up-to-date, accurate information, you might like this post from Gizmodo on a hidden treasure trove of dead .gov websites. Both fun to look at from a design/history standpoint and as a potential resource for teaching. Also, wow for some of those URLs.
As we get into the weekend, I felt like I had to share this Lifehacker article on the need to stop working on your day off. Like, really, just stop it and go out and do something fun. It will make you more productive at work, promise. I for one am looking forward to napping, reading some new books I just got from the library, and maybe even some baking this weekend. What are you looking forward to this weekend?
I hope you have a lovely weekend full of fun and relaxation. In the coming weeks, I'll be posting about graphic design and libraries. Hopefully you'll find some of it useful. Allons-y!
Creativity and One Design Tip
Happy Friday, dear readers! I hope you've had a lovely week and are looking forward to a lovely weekend. Also, Happy National Library Week! We've had a week of events here at the library, which has made for a fun (and busy) week. I enjoyed designing posters and flyers for our events so I wanted to talk a bit about creativity today as well as start talking about design. Since one of my new research areas is looking at graphic design and libraries, I wanted to start sharing some of that on this blog. So let's get into it.
First, I had to share this article from Lifehacker on How You're Sabotaging Your Creativity Every Day. Go ahead and read it; I'll wait for you here. I really like this article. It is a good reminder that we shouldn't feel like we need to copy someone else's schedule to be more creative. It is about what works best for us. And, if you need one, the article gives you the excuse to keep working on side projects, which I think is great. I would also add that we have to give up the myth that we just wait around for the muse to strike to be creative or that we have to keep a totally rigid schedule to be creative. I think it is great to have a schedule and figure out your best times to work. It helps to be consistent and work consistently as you are more likely to train your brain to know when you are "being creative." But, on the flip side, not all of us can always keep a consistent schedule for our creative work. I'll give you an example.
While not the most creative work I do, I would argue that writing up research articles takes a measure of creativity. You have to synthesize literature, you have to be creative in spotting where you can make a contribution, and you have to ultimately write up your findings in a way that will get accepted for publication if you want to share out your results in the peer-reviewed literature. Being in a position where publication is expected, I do this quite often and it is definitely a creative and at times exhausting process. When I first started in my position, I could only write in the mornings and only if I had long, uninterrupted stretches of time. When I first started, I also had fewer commitments on campus which made this possible. Shutting the door actually worked and I could get work done. But now, almost 7 years on, I rarely am able to take a day away from campus (or even a half day) to dedicate to writing. It's kinda sad, but at the same time, I'm much better now at using 15, 20 minute breaks in my day to write and revise articles. My last article, which I'm currently revising, was written completely in small time pockets at work. So while I'm a huge fan of scheduling writing/drawing/creating time, I think it is also important to maintain flexibility to still be creative (and productive) when scheduling problems throw a kink in our best laid plans. Life happens, but we can still create.
On that note, I just wanted to share one design tip today. If you are interested in graphic design and are a librarian, look for inspiration and experience outside of the library field. Don't confine yourself to literature, webinars, courses, etc. that are written only within our field. One of the best, fondational books I just read for graphic design was Best Practices for Graphic Designers: Grids and Page Layouts. It is an excellent introduction to using grids to organize your designs and the importance of planning before creating designs. I highly recommend it.
I hope you have a lovely weekend planned full of everything that makes you happy. I'll be back next week with more news and notes. Allons-y!
