a merger of two Middle English verbs: 1. awaken, from Old English awæcnan (earlier onwæcnan; strong, past tense awoc, past participle awacen) "to awake, arise, originate," from a "on" + wacan "to arise, become awake" (see wake (v.)); and 2. awakien, from Old English awacian (weak, past participle awacode) "to awaken, revive; arise; originate, spring from," from a "on" (see a (2)) + wacian "to be awake, remain awake, watch" (see watch (v.)).
Both originally were intransitive only; the transitive sense being expressed by Middle English awecchen (from Old English aweccan) until later Middle English. In Modern English, the tendency has been to restrict the strong past tense and past participle (awoke, awoken) to the original intransitive sense and the weak inflection (awakened) to the transitive, but this never has been complete (see wake (v.); also cf. awaken).
"not asleep," c.1300, shortened from awaken, past participle of Old English awæcnan (see awaken).

There is'nt a deer here that would'nt get shot. Big or small. I'm affraid to let any deer without spots pass. QDM is but a dream here. I would welcome it if it were to come to a vote. But untill it does, you have to decide yourself. Nobody here is going to down you if you take him. Deer are food to me.FBSA Member

FYI I hunt a parcel of land that is mabey 200 acres. No less than 8 other guys are known to be in there through the fall. If I don't put it in the freezer, the next guy will. In my situation, I would'nt hesitate to take him.FBSA Member

Someone told me once, never pass on the first day what you would shoot on the last day. I have a 14 point buck behind my house this yeer it has great mass and split g1's. That is the deer I plan on shooting this year but if a good 8 point showes up at 15 yards broadside he is going to get it. Maybe the next yeer I will get that big boy, but this year at least i would have something to bring home.
Last year I passed on a small 8 point because I would see this great buck once a week but could never get him in range and was sure I would by the end of season. Long story short, never got hin under 40 and ended up shooting a 5 point buck in the last hours of the last day.
I think that when the game gods give you a chance on a deer that you would take on the last day you should take it Or be okay with going home empty handed.
QDM is a joke
Maybe cause I'm a meat hunter first and a horn hunter second.
QDM says if your a meat hunter, shoot does and let the bucks walk..... Common sense say if you shoot off the does they are not producing fawns, If they don't produce fawns the population goes down, bucks included.
Put it this way you can't raise chickens if you eat all the eggs, sooner or later you run out of eggs..
Don't get me wrong I get a little selective and let a few go by when I get down to my last tag but before that day i'm on a mission to fill the freezer.
To give you a idea of the hunting pressure put on the deer here and why QDM won't work in my area.
These are just gun season numbers
On my 30 acres there are 4 family member that hunt it.
Neighbors to the north they don't live here just hunt here, they have 40 acres. Last year opening day of gun season he had 7 guys hunting it.
the 40 acre lot to the north of him ( once again just hunt here) they have 4 guys hunting.
To the backside of me, guy lease a 50 acre lot and have 7 to 8 people hunting.
South of me the guy has a 90 acre lot and god only know how many people he has hunting they like driving around on 4 wheelers and try to push deer to each other.
Now each of these hunter has two buck tags and most have a couple does tag and we all have about 3 and half months of hunting to fill them. Now that's pressure, sometimes you wonder how anything lives through that. Open day around here sounds like WW3 breaking out all around.
That should give you a idea of why it's rare to see a 2.5 year old buck or even a older doe in this area.

I live next to a farm and my land backs up to about 1200 acres of woods that is owned by the farmer. He lets me and 3 others hunt it. There is no way qdm would work for me. There are just to many deer for us to make an impact. It is not unusual for me to see 10-15 doe a night and 8- 10 small buck a night. The wmu I live in is just over run with deer. last year PA put 92000 doe tags for wmu 5c this year it is 113000 an increase of 20 some %. The total doe tags put out in the state is only 800000. If the people that hunt where I hunt tried qmd we would have to take 20 deer a season per person just to make a dent.
I think qdm has its place but in some places it just will not work, or in my case it would take the period of my natural life to see my work have an affect.

Several Ways to look at same situation....
Now that's pressure, sometimes you wonder how anything lives through that.
With this you have answered the impossibilities of QDM. Hmmmmm how do the deer survive. With all those hunters how and the heck do they survive. Several reasons most of which most hunters are really not that good, even with a rifle. Most shoot first thing comes out, Then the pressure several will turn nocturnal or areas that the hunters do not trample in. This is excatly the point I have tried to make to the non believers. THEY DO SURVIVE......
NOT EVERY SINGLE BUCK GETS KILLED EVERY YEAR. The theory if meat hunters all start shooting does then no more eggs to hatch. Well if that were true all the years of all this pressure hunting when everyone was after just bucks, would that not be the same thing cause it does take two to tangle...
Yes what scenario you described sounds pretty tough. Yet to me you have great chance to have a safe place for deer. Your only hurdle to start is get the hunters on your place to dare try it. Create good cover with a good food base and Your group hunt smart and you have a great sanctuary for deer that will come running and want to live on your place.
I am not trying to say you can turn it into a DEERASSIC Park or nothing yet it can be Improved........BECAUSE EVEN WITH ALL THAT PRESSURE THEY STILL SURVIVE...... SO IF I PASS HE HAS A CHANCE...... HE MAY GET SHOT..... BUT HE STILL HAS A CHANCE........Some will SURVIVE....Believe it or not. I grew up in North Texas near Dallas with just one little public land that a lot of hunters has two solid months of rifle hunting. The public was nothing but 30 acres here 80 over there and rest of land all around leased up. Hunters like crazy and when my cousins and I finally learned to hunt we started finding some real good deer when we really thought it was hopeless. I will try to find couple pics and scan them. I only hunted with bow all year and just when getting good moved after high school. It was just getting good and for the cousins they have done pretty decent since.
I guess I ought to give up. I hope you guys enjoy yourselves out hunting this fall because it is a great sport. Good Luck to all even if you shoot young or old. If it makes you happy shoot them. I just started talking management to the ones who sounded like they would rather shoot bigger but just no hope. GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON.

There is no way you can say QDM is a joke. It has proven itself across the nation. Shooting does is one of the best ways to manage a deer herd. We shoot 25-30 does a year off of our place and only 5-8 bucks a year. On our spot light counts this year we are still seeing alot of does but almost all of them have twins. 6 years ago when we started our counts we seen alot more does but most of them didnt even have any fawns. Our buck doe ratio is around 2 does to 1 buck. We would like it to be 1 to 1. Just makes the bucks work harder to breed and therefore we see alot more mature bucks in the day light hours. On an average a mature buck will only breed 3 does a year. Now take that into account. You have 25 does and 3 bucks on your place. No more than 10 of those does are getting bread. So killing a few of them every year and letting the younger bucks walk would not hurt a thing only help your over all health of your deer. Not only that are you gonna mount that little young buck. Probably not. If its a trophy to you and you are proud to kill then thats awesome and your God given right to do so.
All of you guys in your area need to get a little more QDM educated.
One of the farms I hunt in KY has the doe ratio way out of whack. The property belongs to my friends in laws; the 2 of us and the boys are about the only ones who hunt it and there is a little more land there maybe 4-500 acres still not nearly big enough to really contain a herd but everyone seems to be interested in leaving the really small ones alone - what doesn't happen is getting enough does taken to keep a good ratio. I've tried to make it a point to take a few does out of there the last few years once I realized how far it was off. I probably should just take does when I'm on that land for a few years.Bear Grizzly, Beman Centershot/Steelforce , Legacy Quiver

Probably the best source on the web would be here
So this is a typical post from me, senile old sot that I am. No need to go through rehashing my miseries learning Linux and BT, suffice to say that I've been up and (somewhat) operational for a few weeks now.
But Wireshark capture filters (NOT display filters) are beating me down. I get that they use the tcpdump language, but I can't seem to get anything but the simplest possible filters to work (e.g. capturing for one IP works fine, but more complex expressions I can't get to function).
The logic of what I am trying to do is simple - I want to capture traffic on a wireless network, but exclude certain devices (my dork roommates playing endless online games, which make the cap files enormous). I want to exclude traffic based on mac address rather than IP, because DHCP (duh) means that even when I filter on IPs, if the roomies turn off their game boxes and then log back on they (sometimes) get a different IP and my capture gets swamped.
Display filters work fine, but I want to be able to capture for extended periods of time and eventually pick up who else (sneaky bastards) is occasionally using our net. By excluding all of the game traffic by using a not-equal-to mac filter I can capture for long enough to do that. If I could get the damn CAPTURE filter to work on more than one mac address... I can't even find good examples of capture filters on the net, just the most basic stuff that I can already do.
Help? Pointers? Just some complicated examples would probably be enough for me to figure out how to write my own filter correctly.
Thanks from a Grumpy Old Guy
Probably the best source on the web would be here
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
if you know MAC of gamer guy you can filter his traffic out quite easy
go to Display filter, click NEW to create new filter, name it something like no gamers here
and in second line type
replace zeros with MAC of your friend and you will filter his traffic out.
hope this help
Not sure if this actually works but looking at the syntax in the page Amael posted i think you are looking for something like:
!eth.addr==00:00:00:00:00:00 & !eth.addr==00:00:00:00:00:00
(not this MAC AND not this MAC)
Hope it helps?
You might try a book on wireshark my Laura Chappell. I plan to buy the book.
I'll post back with some specifics and maybe someone can work out what I'm doing wrong syntactically... because the logic is really simple.
Don't use "&" and "!". Use "and" and "not". Look at the examples that are on the page Archangel-Amael posted. Again: http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureFilters
It should be
Code:not dst eth.addr==00:00:00:00:00:00 and not dst eth.addr==00:00:00:00:00:00
Laura Chappell's Wireshark University offers some free online sessions. http://www.wiresharktraining.com/
Get her book. It's a great reference, and well worth the price. http://www.wiresharkbook.com/
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
Well, I figured it out. I hate it when that happens. I finally crack and post here, then figure it out on my own. Duh.
Anyway, it's pretty dumb, but I'll 'fess up. Basically, I was going to the "Capture Filters" dialogue box, where you create and manage Capture Filters, and filling one out, then hitting "ok." I thought that then APPLIED the filter.
Well, it doesn't. It just creates it. To actually apply a capture filter in Wireshark you have to:
CAPTURE > INTERFACES select OPTIONS next to the one you want to use, then from the options dialogue box, select CAPTURE FILTERS, select the capture filter you want, hit ok, then hit START for the interface you picked (and for which you just designated a filter). Voila, the capture will start and the selected capture filter will actually be applied. Go figure.
And for what it's worth, once I worked out the correct sequence to apply the filter, using '&&' and '!' as part of the filter actually worked fine. Now if I can just figure out why the version of Wireshark on my BT4r2 installation won't apply WEP keys I'll be golden... but that's another post.
Thanks to all who weighed in on this!

Docket Management
Docket: 95N-0304 - Dietary Supplements Containing Ephedrine Alkaloids
Comment Number: EC -80
Accepted - Volume 298
Comment Record
Dr. LINDA Pacioretty
2003-03-07 13:54:03
Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
March 7, 2003 Dear Sir/Madam, I own a dietary supplement company in Ithaca, New York and have been in the natural products industry for several years. Both my customers and I appreciate how the passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 improved consumer access to dietary supplements and information about them, while increasing consumer protection against unsafe products and false and misleading claims. I am concerned that FDA has only just begun to initiate aggressive enforcement actions under DSHEA, yet is calling for suggestions for increased legislative authority in order to better regulate the supplement industry. Shouldn't you first give these recent efforts a chance to work, and perhaps even issue good manufacturing practices for supplements, before calling for new laws? Simply put, I believe the agency can regualte ephedra without dismantling DSHEA. It is also my understanding that DSHEA increased FDA's enforcement powers and the FDA can seize a dietary supplement if it presents an unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury. Furthermore, the government can stop the sale of an entire class of dietary supplements if they pose an imminent public health hazard. The former FDA commissioner, Dr. Jane Henney, has even stated before Congress that she believes that DSHEA provides FDA with the necessary legal authority to protect the public health. I agree with Dr. Henney, strongly support DSHEA, and do not think any additional legislative authority is necessary. Sincerely, Linda M. Pacioretty, Ph.D. President and CEO BIOnexus, Ltd.

CARB's Economic Analysis Helps Make the Case to Reject Proposition 23
Last Thursday, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) published details on the proposed greenhouse gas trading program to be implemented under state law AB 32. AB 32, as our blog readers know, is under threat from Proposition 23 – which would forestall (perhaps indefinitely) meaningful action to reduce greenhouse gases in California. The analyses done by CARB in association with the development of the proposed program bolster the case for rejecting Prop 23.
These CARB analyses show that the trading program under AB 32 will "shift investment and growth within the overall economy toward those sectors driven by the production of cleaner and more-efficient technologies." The importance of this targeted growth should not be understated – by moving toward energy technologies that are both home-grown and energy efficient, we reduce our economic exposure to the price volatility of global energy markets. Since the world is using more and more of what are ultimately finite quantities of fossil energy, protecting ourselves by transitioning the economy toward energy systems that are not subject to global supply and demand imbalances is important to protecting our future economic growth.
While transitioning to new and different systems for energy production and use will necessarily result in some temporary economic dislocation, the market mechanisms included in CARB's regulatory program minimize these impacts. Taken directly from the CARB economic analysis appendix: "Overall, staff finds no significant adverse impacts on California business or consumers as a whole as a result of the proposed regulation."
With climate change legislation stalled on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., for the foreseeable future, maintaining the critical environmental legislation of AB 32 is extremely important for advancing the nation's climate policy. Even absent action by other states, California is the world's 8th largest economy and a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. Action taken through policy in California is a huge step forward in addressing the global climate crisis.
Much of the rest of the world is waiting for the United States to take a leadership role on the issue of global climate change. With political gridlock in D.C., the best chance for the nation to make significant progress on this issue starts in California. AB 32 is the start of California's transition to a 21st century economy of clean, green, homegrown energy – and represents an opportunity for the state, and the nation, to retake a leadership position in what will be some of the most important industries of the coming decades.
Russell Meyer is the Senior Fellow for Economics and Policy

Ownership vs. rental: Pasco County
A mixture of home owners and renters has long been common in Florida neighborhoods. But the balance shifted after the housing boom, a St. Petersburg Times analysis of property records shows. From urban streets to gated communities, the percentage of single-family homes without homestead exemptions has increased in Pasco County. That means more homes are owned by nonresidents, likely to be rented or remain vacant.
Understanding the data
Neighborhoods tinted red have seen an increase in nonhomesteaded single-family homes of more than 10 percent between 2003 and 2008. Purple is used for neighborhoods that showed an increase of 10 percent or less, or an decrease of 10 percent or less. Blue represents neighborhoods with a decrease in non-homesteaded single family homes of more than 10 percent.

Brevard, N.C. – Brevard College blew a 19-point second half lead but recovered to defeat Montreat College, 96-90 in overtime, Monday night at Boshamer Gymnasium. The Tornados move to 7-3 with the win, while Montreat falls to 5-10.
Michael Jones' squad fell behind 6-0 in the game's first 38 seconds but took firm control of the contest with a well-orchestrated 16-0 run over the next 8:33. Nathan Whitmire (
After Darin Dellinger (Stanley, N.C.) canned a trifecta to stretch Brevard's lead to 31-15, the Tornados pushed the advantage to 17 on a free throw from Sam Carlisle (Raleigh, N.C.) with 4:23 left in the half, making the score 32-15. But a 9-2 Montreat spurt, finished by a Matt Rushing (Mt. Holly, N.C.) basket with 1:09 left in the period, brought Montreat back to within ten at 34-24. Joseph Chilton (Brasstown, N.C.) hit the half's final shot, a three-pointer on Brevard's last possession, the send the teams to the locker room with Brevard up 37-24.
After two free throws from Timmy Harper (Catawba, N.C.) brought Montreat back within ten, 41-31 at the 16:55 mark of the second half, Brevard looked to have put the game away with an 11-2 run over the next 2:52. Back-to-back baskets from Whitmire gave the Tornados a 52-33 lead with 14:03 to play. The teams traded baskets for the next several minutes, with Brevard again assuming a 19-point gap, 62-43, with 9:49 left after a lay-up by Dellinger.
But facing a seemingly insurmountable deficit, the Cavaliers shook off the rust associated with a 23-day Christmas break to make the game a classic. A 10-0 run, ended by an M.J. Njoku (
The Tornados made just two field goals in the final 3:46 of regulation, and Montreat used the offensive miscues as well as free throws to claw back into contention. The Cavaliers hit their final eight free throws, six of them from Njoku, to make the score 77-75 with :24 to play and possession of the ball.
After Njoku missed a shot but collected his own offensive rebound with :14 left, Montreat ran a set that saw the ball find Kevin Hanlon's hands in the right side corner with time winding down. Hanlon (
The veteran Tornados responded like champions in the extra period, despite the fact that momentum rested in the Montreat camp. Brevard scored the first four points of extra time on a basket by Whitson and two freebies from Whitmire, then ran the lead to eight on a four-point play from Chilton to make the score 87-79 with 2:50 left.
The Cavaliers refused to concede, as Njoku hit six more free throws down the stretch, but the gap was never closer than four the rest of the way and Brevard finished on top, 96-90.
"We didn't play well tonight, especially in the second half, but we made plays down the stretch and that is encouraging," Jones said after the battle was won. "I'm happy with the balanced offense, but there's no doubt we will need to be better in our next game."
Just hours after being named South Atlantic Conference Player of the Week, Whitson led Brevard with 17 points. Chilton finished with 15 points, Whitmire added 14, Dellinger chipped in 13 and Siniard was the fifth player in double figures with ten. Whitmire, Siniard, Sean Ferretti (
Montreat was led by Njoku, who hit 17 of 24 free throws and scored 27. Rushing added 21, A.J. Smith scored 13 off the bench and Harper scored 11. The Cavaliers were the first team all season to shoot 40% from the floor against Brevard, hitting 26 of 65 field goal attempts.
Brevard will return to SAC play Wednesday against Lenoir-Rhyne, with tip scheduled for 8 p.m. Montreat will host King Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

Support the Troth Yeddha' Park at UAF
Every day the University of Alaska Fairbanks' faculty and staff show their support to UAF through their hard work and dedication to its students. The Annual Giving Program would like to give a special thanks to employees who supported UAF last fiscal year, or already this fiscal year, through gifts to the areas of the university they love the most.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I support UAF?
Giving is a personal decision, and we each have our own answer to that question. In addition to your daily contributions of energy and effort, a financial contribution is a different and important way to
demonstrate your investment in sustaining UAF and its students. The number of reasons for giving are diverse, but all reflect a sincere belief in the work being done here at UAF. Ultimately, your participation is a vote of confidence in the university and its future.
How much should I give?
You determine the size and designation of your gift according to your own charitable interests, your
personal willingness to give and your financial capacity. No gift is too small. It's your participation that matters.
What can I give to?
You have many choices, but we could not begin to list them all. Many donors choose to make an unrestricted gift, those not restricted for a specific purpose and therefore directed to our area of greatest need. Unrestricted gifts also enable the university to take advantage of unexpected opportunities. Some donors choose a specific department or program, while others might give to support technology improvements, the library, athletics or one of the many scholarships available to UAF students.
How can I give?
There are many easy ways to make a gift to UAF. You can contact the UAF Development Office at
firstname.lastname@example.com for information about making a gift via:

- online with a credit card
How does payroll deduction work?
Payroll deduction is one of the fastest, easiest and most convenient ways to make a gift. By completing the payroll deduction section on the UAF pledge form, you specify the amount you would like automatically deducted from each paycheck, the start date, and where your support should be designated. You can have an amount deducted until further notice or until a specific total has been reached.

Since we moved to Florida, I've noticed that people keep donkeys. I'm one of those people who never thought that a donkey was worth a whole lot, but I've since learned that I have been mistaken on that subject.
Many people in this state have realized that donkeys can perform a valuable service.

Student Code of Conduct
Pacific University is an academic community – a community where the pursuit of knowledge, understanding and skills are the common ideals, which unite us as its members. An academic community in which students, faculty and staff members come together in voluntary association is based upon the fundamental respect members maintain for themselves and for others. Personal integrity is valued above all else, and each community member is expected to maintain integrity in every situation no matter how trivial. Students are required to engage in responsible social conduct that reflects credit upon the University community and to model good citizenship at all times. Preserving the safety and security of students, faculty, staff, and guests is one of the paramount duties of the University. Responsible membership in the community is exemplified by close attention to the safety of one's fellow members. Toward these ends, the University has established policies, standards and guidelines that collectively define the Student Code of Conduct.
Nothing in these policies or guidelines is designed, nor should be construed to inhibit students' abilities to strive for true academic freedom or to think, care, create, and pursue justice in our world.

Best Of :: La Vida
At this family-owned buffet — brimming with home-style Cuban dishes like arroz con pollo, ropa vieja (shredded beef), fricasé de puerco (super-tender pork), and apporeado de pescado (shredded fish with vegetables) — it seems kind of indulgent to order an extra dessert, especially since there are puddings, fresh fruits, and pastries included in the all-you-can-eat spread. But seriously, who can say no to flan this good? Not us, now that we crave this creamy dessert all the time. Sabor Cubano has spoiled us with its superb rendition of a classic. Some places serve flan that's as light and wiggly as a blob of Jell-O (to be fair, we like that stuff too), while this flan is denser and silkier, with a deep golden glaze of delicious caramel sauce. It's sweet, but not cloyingly so, which makes it that much easier to scarf down a whole serving by ourselves. You could argue that this portion is really meant for two, but we prefer to think of it, simply, as more to love.
This party-supply store is located on the same block as some of our other south-of-the-border staples — across the street from Realeza Michoacana, a bakery and paleta (Mexican popsicle) shop; and Tortas El Güero, a torta shop; and next door to Llantera del Norte. But Dulcería Pico Rico can easily stand alone. It's pretty much a one-stop shop if you're throwing a kid's birthday party (they'll even rent you a jumping castle), but the real reason to go here is the candy. The sweet, tummy-ache-inducing candy. The back of the store is almost entirely devoted to it. Mexican candy has a certain something that makes us want to buy enough to fill several piñatas (also available in abundance here). We think it's probably the packaging — so bright and full of the promise of fun. This place makes it hard to narrow our selection down to a few packages. The candy is divided up into savory (churarzo, in tamarind flavor — a buck and some change will get you 20 pieces), sour, hot (and they carry about a million varieties of the Mexican staple pico), and sweet. We're partial to the sweet. De La Rosa's peanut confections melt in our mouths and remind us of childhood trips across the border, back before you needed a thousand kinds of security clearance to come home.
There are lots of reasons to stop by this colorful Mexican sweet shop, from ice cream to fruit cocktails, paletas to pastries (the fruit-filled smiley-face cookies never fail to cheer us up). Even the atmosphere's a hoot, with bright murals of fruit and an eye-popping pink-and-yellow-checkered floor. But usually we just swing by for a refreshing raspado, Mexico's answer to the slushie. Practically overflowing from a tall Styrofoam cup, these babies are chock-full of shaved ice, fruit chunks, and flavored syrups. Order a Diablito, and you'll get a spicy-sweet drink jazzed up with chile powder and saladitos (salted plums) and a chewy candy swizzle stick made with chile and tamarind. Or get one straight up, in one of half a dozen flavors: mango, tamarind, plum, vanilla, strawberry, pineapple, or rompope, a milky-sweet flavor reminiscent of eggnog. In a city where the summer lasts half the year, a regular raspado pit stop makes it much easier to handle the heat.
Leave it to longtime downtown arts advocates/developers Beatrice Moore and Tony Zahn to turn a crusty old pie factory into a showcase for genetically modified art. In early April, their latest historic restoration, Bragg's Pie Factory, was filled with description-defying, literally pie-in-the-sky piñatas dangling from the rafters of what was once a state-of-the-art pie-production plant built in 1947 in classic Machine Age "streamline Moderne" style.
Rest assured that the Pie Factory's piñatas are about as far as you can get from those traditional rainbow-decorated donkeys or ones patently inspired by Spider-Man, Hello Kitty and Tickle Me Elmo. Look for next year's call for entries, which is open to all ages and artistic bents. (The "bear" we scored was made by a teenager with autism.) Our other favorites from last year's bizarre-but-beautiful mixed-media offerings include a ginormous spiked blowfish made of scalloped felt and a maniacally grinning and drooling crocodile creature. At least we think it was a crocodile — it's hard to tell with the genetically modified.
Past the handmade wooden sign marking the entrada, you'll find an outdoor market lined with booths of colorful Mexican pottery, religious statuary, clothing, and Spanish-language cassette tapes. Locals dance to Mexican pop music, sipping cerveza and chowing down on roasted corn with goat cheese. Sounds like a wonderful vacation find, but this isn't Guadalajara — it's SoPo. El Gran Mercado at 35th and Buckeye is the closest thing to a Mexican carnival you'll find north of the border. Think of it as the granddaddy of weekend swap meets. We're talking 300-plus vendors including used car dealers, grocers, and an outdoor barber. You'll have to speak español — at least un poco — to haggle with the merchants; but if you're willing to pay sticker price, you'll do fine without.
So, perhaps the closest to Mexico many members of Friends of Mexican Art (FOMA) have been is Nogales. That doesn't stop this dedicated group of Mexican art-philes, founded more than 45 years ago in Phoenix, from generously donating their time, effort, and funds to promote all aspects of Mexican culture throughout Arizona.
FOMA is the forward-looking organization that had the vision years ago to give the Phoenix Art Museum, among other important artworks, its now-famous Rufino Tamayo painting Dos figuras en rojo (Two Figures in Red) (1973), as well as significant contemporary Mexican fine and folk art to other Arizona cultural institutions, including ASU Art Museum and Tucson Museum of Art. It has sponsored numerous exhibitions of Mexican art and brought working folk artisans stateside. FOMA raised funds for the moving and restoration of Diego Rivera's famous Del Prado Hotel mural painting after Mexico City's 1985 earthquake. It's also contributed to the restoration of frescos in the church of Atotonilco, the very spot where Father Hidalgo first raised the banner of Guadalupe to kick off the movement for Mexican independence from Spain. Known as the Sistine Chapel of the Americas, this church made the World Monuments Fund's list of the 100 most endangered world monuments.
Recently, FOMA ponied up bucks to help underwrite a historically critical issue on Mexican tourist pottery by Mexico's most prestigious arts publication, Artes de Mexico. The group's primary source of fundraising is its annual springtime Hacienda Home Tour and Mercado, which showcases elegant homes with mostly Mexican art collections and sells folk art that's cherry-picked for its quality. For gringos, this group's got it going on when it comes to putting its money where its heart is.

The Dream arrested for felony assault of ex-girlfriend
The-Dream turned himself into cops this morning for an alleged attack on his ex-girlfriend. TMZ is reporting that the super-producer has been booked for 2 felonies, assault and strangulation.
Law enforcement sources say that Dream walked into an NYPD precinct at 8:30 A.M. ET Wednesday morning after he had been wanted by police for questioning in connection with an alleged assault on the mother of his child, Lydia Nam in April 2013.
Nam claims he punched, kicked, and strangled her while she was pregnant with his son. However, she didn't report the incident to police until 7 months later.
According to law enforcement sources, the Dream been booked for the 2 felonies as well as 3 misdemeanors including assault, reckless endangerment, and child endangerment. He remains in custody.

When I heard that Senco was introducing a new cordless finish nailer, I was both excited and skeptical — excited because I dislike using hoses, and skeptical because as a long-time user of cordless finish guns I am aware of their shortcomings. This new gun is the first in a family of tools called Fusion, and Senco claims that it will do away with most of the problems associated with cordless guns.
For the last few months I have been using the 15-gauge model, the FN65DA. An 18-gauge Fusion, the FN55AZ, is scheduled to be released around the time this story is published, and Senco says that other models are in the works.
Senco FN65DA
Nail type: 15-gauge DA
Nail length: 1 1/4 to 2 1/2 inches
Capacity: 110 nails
Weight*: 6.5 pounds (* By JLC; includes battery)
Size (H x L x W): 13.5" x 13" x 3"
Includes: gun, battery, charger, and case
Street price: $450
Replacement battery: $95
Cordless Technology
Before the Fusion was introduced, there were two kinds of cordless nailers, gas and electro-mechanical.
A gas nailer is powered by an internal combustion engine that burns liquefied petroleum gas; the force of the exploding fuel propels the driver into the head of the fastener. I have been using Paslode gas nailers for 10 years. They work well but have some issues: They consume fuel cells, emit smelly combustion gases, and require regular cleaning to function properly.
An electro-mechanical gun uses a battery-powered motor to spin a flywheel. When the carpenter presses the trigger, the flywheel transfers power to the driver, causing it to strike the nail. I've used the electro-mechanical finish guns from DeWalt and Senco, and they simply don't measure up to gas models. They work, but there's a delay while the flywheel comes up to speed — plus they're heavy, bulky, and poorly balanced.
A third way. The Fusion gun uses a battery-powered motor to compress nitrogen gas in a sealed cylinder by lifting a piston against it. Squeezing the trigger releases the piston, allowing the compressed gas to propel the driver into the nail — same as in a pneumatic tool. As soon as the nail is driven, the motor retracts the driver, which recompresses the nitrogen. The entire cycle takes a fraction of a second.
Using the Gun
According to Senco, the Fusion combines the power and feel of a pneumatic nailer with the convenience of a cordless tool. I agree: When you shoot this gun it has the instantaneous pop of a pneumatic nailer — but without the blast of air at the end of the cycle. The nitrogen is sealed inside the drive cylinder and gets used over and over, like the gas in an air-shock or door lifter. The tool is quieter than a gas nailer, but I still wear ear protection.
We used the Fusion to drive fasteners up to 2 1/2 inches long in plywood, poplar, cherry, MDF, pine, and Douglas fir framing material. There was no issue with power — it drove as well as our pneumatics.
The 15-gauge Fusion is very well-balanced, so even though it's heavier than a gas finish nailer, using it is not a hardship. A rubberized grip and body make the gun comfortable to hold and protect the surfaces it's placed on. Most nailers will only lie on their sides, but this one can be placed upright on the magazine, making it easy to grab and go.
Firing modes. The gun has a dry-fire lockout that prevents it from firing when empty and putting unnecessary holes in the material. A three-position switch on the side of the housing allows the user to turn the tool on or off and set it to single-shot or bump-fire mode. I use the single-shot mode for finish work; it forces me to be deliberate about fastener placement, so I don't overnail the trim. The only time I use bump-fire is for fastening blocking. The gun is capable of driving about one nail per second, which is more than enough speed for finish carpentry.
A three-position switch can be set to bump-fire, off, or single-shot mode. Leaving the tool on for long periods of time can deplete the battery, even if the gun isn't fired.
Battery. The 18-volt lithium-ion battery has excellent runtime — we can often work all day on a single charge. A gauge on the back of the battery shows the remaining charge; if it's running low we charge the battery during a break. It takes 45 minutes to fully charge and empty the battery, but only 15 minutes to get an 80 percent charge.
A gauge on the 18-volt battery indicates the remaining charge.
The Fusion drives nails until the battery is no longer able to lift the driver, at which point the tool won't fire. There is no stair-stepping as the battery runs down — it drives at full power or not at all. The first time this happened, we thought the gun was broken. We took off the magazine, saw that the driver had not retracted, and realized the battery was depleted. Since the battery can be charged hot, we threw it in the charger and within five minutes it was sufficiently charged to drive 30 more nails, which was enough to finish the job. According to the manufacturer, the battery can drive up to 600 nails per charge.
The gun comes with a stiff wire belt hook that can be flipped to either side of the handle. Depth-of-drive is controlled by a thumb-wheel on the front of the housing. The setting shows up on an incremental scale further down the nose.
A scale below the thumb-wheel provides a quick visual reference for the depth-of-drive setting.
The aluminum magazine is held in place by a spring-loaded lever and can be quickly removed to ease the clearing of jammed fasteners. This is an improvement over existing cordless models, which can be difficult to unjam.
An LED light built into the front of the tool comes on whenever the trigger is squeezed or the contact element compressed.
When the trigger is squeezed or the contact element depressed, a light comes on in the nose. It provides just enough illumination to help in low-light conditions.
Durability. There's no way of knowing how long this tool will last, though it feels well-made. The manufacturer claims that the drive cylinder can cycle more than 100,000 times without losing so much nitrogen it can no longer set nails. If the cylinder fails, it can be replaced but not repaired.
The Bottom Line
I am completely impressed with the 15-gauge Fusion. Comfortable and convenient to use, it's the first cordless finish nailer that can match the power and performance of a pneumatic gun. It's more expensive than a gas finish nailer, but I would happily buy it anyway to avoid the smell of exhaust gas, the cost of fuel cells, and the hassle of regular cleanings.

Sold Out $22.99
2014 vintage is available for $22.99
Felsina Berardenga Chianti Classico 2009
Sangiovese from Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Ruby red with deep intensity and hue. Fruity, fine and elegant aromas dominated by wild berries accompanied by various spicy notes. Fruity on the palate with good tannins and a lingering finish.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "In a darker, balsamic vein, this red evokes tar, black cherry, underbrush and tobacco flavors. They're all held together by the dense, fine tannins. Oak spice emerges on the taut finish. Felsina Berardenga Chianti Classico."
The Wine Advocate - "The 2009 Chianti Classico shows excellent weight and depth to match its expressive dark red fruit. This is an especially open vintage for the Chianti Classico. The 2009 is probably not destined for a super long life, but will drink beautifully for at least a handful of years. Hints of earthiness and tar add to an impression of gravitas in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021."
Fattoria di Felsina Winery
In the 17 published editions of Gambero Rosso, Italy's acclaimed wine rating guide, this Tuscan estate has won the coveted Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award 17 times. They are a favorite of IWM, Robert Parker, and any Tuscan wine enthusiast. And they did it by revealing the true essence of the Sangiovese grape and the Chianti Classico terroir. What this tells us is that this is a winery of consistency, producing Chianti Classicos with the ability to age up to two decades for the right vintage. Much like the great Brunello estates, it is the marriage of an ideal microclimate and the uncompromising commitment of a dedicated staff that educes the full character of Tuscany's noble grape, even in off vintages. Even more importantly, this is a producer who creates compelling wines and releases them at contained prices, making Felsina accessible to all wine enthusiasts and one of Italy's greatest values!

About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Jesse 'The Body' Wants to Give Money Away!
During his campaign for governor of the State of Minnesota, former professional wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura (later to become Jesse "The Mind" Ventura) promised to return to the taxpayers of Minnesota the budget surpluses that had been accumulating in the state.
Upon assuming office, Jesse "The Gov" Ventura (another adopted name) revealed that the budget surplus (taxes being greater than government spending) had been spent. Economic forecasters, however, predict that other surpluses will occur in the near future.
The forecasters base their predictions of huge budget surpluses on a booming state economy and a tax system that generates large tax revenues. They assume, of course, that spending will not increase and wipe out the new surpluses. Governor Ventura has vowed that he will not allow this to happen and that new surpluses will be returned to the taxpayers. Not all legislators agree with governor's proposal; and even some that agree differ with the specifics of the proposal.
The governor's proposal is one of three proposals that might be considered for dealing with the budget surpluses. The first, and one that will not be dealt with directly in this "Economics Minute," concerns itself with unsolved problems in Minnesota. The argument is that surpluses present a unique opportunity to deal with problems of poverty, low agricultural prices, education, road construction, and other unmet needs in the state. Consequently, surpluses should not be returned, but used to meet these needs. At the start of the debate, this option was not considered in the Minnesota legislature. Recently, it has appeared in the form of tax reductions and rebates to particular groups.
The other proposals call for returning excess tax revenues to the public. One of these is Governor Ventura's proposal to give the taxpayers back their money. The other is to return the money to those most "needing" the money, without regard for the amount they paid in taxes. Both of these proposals raise issues concerning the distribution of income and the nature of taxation. Both are concerned with issues of "fairness." Prior to discussing the issues surrounding Governor Ventura's tax rebate plan, some background information on income distribution, the nature of taxation, and related issues is important.
- Describe Governor Jesse Ventura's attempt to return Minnesota's budget surplus to its citizens.
- Describe and analyze the effects of progressive, proportional, and regressive taxes on the distribution of income.
- Identify and apply criteria for judging what constitutes a fair tax.
- Evaluate arguments for alternative means of using the surplus.
- Recognize the nature of philosophical differences among politicians and the difficulty of achieving a consensus on public policy.
Activity 1
Income Distribution
For reasons such as differences in education, age, skills, workers' preferences, heredity, marital status, and luck, incomes among individuals and households differ. The Bureau of the Census periodically publishes data on income distribution. The Share of Aggregate Income Received by Each Fifth and Top 5 Percent of Households is shown in this PDF of Table H-2.
If all households were to receive exactly the same income, each 20 percent (one fifth or quintile) of households would receive 20 percent of the national income. This clearly is not the case. For example, in 1997 the proportion of income received by the lowest 20 percent of households was 3.6 percent; the proportion received by the top 20 percent of households was 49.4 percent. The richest 5 percent of households received 21.7 percent of the national income.
For students interested in exploring issues concerning income inequality, such as the causes of changes in the distribution of income, consequences of these changes, and economic efficiency and income equality, see the following web site from the Federal Reserve Bank. It contains the Remarks Made by Chairman Alan Greenspan at their 1998 conference on Income Inequality: Issues and Policy Options.
Based on what you have learned about income inequality from this website, answer the following questions.
- Why is the distribution of income in the U.S. becoming more unequal?
- What are the consequences of these changes?
- Is the U.S. experience different from that of other industrial countries?
It is interesting to note what it means to be rich in the United States, and who pays the taxes. Two websites provide this information. Table H-1 on the Bureau of the Census website shows the upper limit of income for each 20 percent of households. Note that you do not need an extremely high income to be in the top 20 percent of income earners. A 1997 income of just over $71,500 puts a household in the top 20 percent of all earners, while an income of $126,500 puts a household in the top 5 percent of all income earners.
The Tax Foundation 's web site provides information about who pays income taxes.
The Tax Foundation reports that Internal Revenue Service (IRS) data show that in 1985 the top one percent of income tax-filers earned 10 percent of the total reported income and paid 21.8 percent of the federal income tax. They had a tax rate of 29.9 percent. In 1995, the same group earned 14.6 percent of the total reported income, paid 30.2 percent of the federal income tax, and had a tax rate of 28.5 percent. The lowest 50 percent of income earners in 1985 earned 17.3 percent of the reported income, paid 7.2 percent of the tax, and had a tax rate of 5.7 percent; the 1995 figures for the lowest 50 percent were 14.5 percent, 4.6 percent, and 4.4 percent, respectively. Clearly, the wealthier pay more income taxes and face a higher tax rate.
Is the income tax a fair tax? What is a fair tax? A tax is classified as progressive, proportional, or regressive depending upon the taxpayer's income level and the taxpayer's tax rate. The federal income tax is a progressive tax; i.e., the tax rate increases as incomes increase. A proportional tax is one in which all income groups face the same tax rate. A regressive tax is one in which the tax rate declines as incomes increase. The IRS has a terrific website on tax fairness, along with exercises about the nature of taxation. Go to Understanding Taxes , read the discussion of the nature of taxation, and complete the multiple choice tests at the end of the lesson.
Scroll to the banner at the bottom of this site. Start learning about taxes at Outer Mongolia. Proceed through Dead Man's Gulch, and Hamalot City. Complete the Detective's Challenge, and end the lesson at Solving the Case. By now, you should have a good understanding of the nature of taxes. Another excellent source for learning about taxes and a discussion of the fairness issue is: John Morton, Advanced Placement Economics: Student Activities. "Activity 72: What is a Fair Tax?" National Council on Economic Education, 1996, p. 257.
What does all of this have to do with Jesse Ventura's plan to give tax revenues back to the citizens of Minnesota? The debates raging over the plan revolve around fairness. Initially it was assumed that the budget surplus in Minnesota resulted from income tax collections being greater than projected. But increased sales tax collections also added to the surplus, as did a settlement with the tobacco industry. Philosophical differences among the liberal Democratic-Farm-Labor (DFL) party, the conservative Independent Republican (IR) party, and a governor belonging to neither party also have affected the debate.
Newspaper articles relating to the governor's tax rebate plan can be found on the Minneapolis Star Tribune 's web site.
Scroll to the SEARCH segment at the bottom of the home page and search the archives for "rebate." Of particular interest are five articles dealing with Governor Ventura's tax rebate plan.
March 5, 1999: Ventura's revised rebate plan
Activity 2
If progressive income taxes are ones in which the tax rate increases as income increases, then progressive tax rebates are those in which the rebate rate increases as income decreases. The March 5 article contains data on income levels and rebates under the governor's initial and revised rebate programs. Is the initial rebate progressive, proportional, or regressive? Provide evidence defending your position. (Hint: compute the rebate rate at the mid-point of each income category.) Is the revised rebate more progressive or less progressive than the initial rebate? Provide evidence defending your position.
April 12, 1999: Editorial: Tax cuts: Working poor need permanent relief also
April 14, 1999: House unites, overwhelmingly passes bill with tax cuts, rebate
April 15, 1999: New house tax-cut plan
Activity 3
From the April 14 article, you should recognize that the rebate debate has expanded to include tax cuts and reforms and that the two political parties differ with respect to who should receive the greatest benefit. The second article contains data relating to this issue. Is the sales tax rebate plan progressive or regressive? Compute the rebate as a percent of taxable income in various income groups (use the midpoint of the taxable income range).
Do married couples and heads of households benefit more than single individuals?
Determine whether the proposed reduction in income tax rates will benefit high, middle, or low income groups. Do the benefits of the proposed tax reductions affect married couples, single individuals, heads of households differently?
April 28, 1999: Senate Democrats release tax plan
Activity 4
The IR party controls The Minnesota House of Representatives; the DFL party controls the Senate.
- Which political party has argued for more progressive tax and rebate programs? What evidence can you provide supporting your position?

New York Ricans from the Hip Hop Zone
Palgrave Macmillan, Feb 8, 2003 - Art - 278 pages
"New York Ricans from the Hip Hop Zone" explores the history of hip hop music from the standpoint of the New York Puerto Rican community which has been instrumental in its development. New York Puerto Ricans have been an integral part of hip hop culture since day one - from 1970s pioneers like Rock Steady Crew's Jo Jo, to rap mega stars Big Punisher (R.I.P.) and Angie Martinez. Yet, Puerto Rican participation and contributions to hip hop have often been downplayed and even completely ignored. And when their presence has been acknowledged, it has frequently been misinterpreted as a defection from Puerto Rican culture and identity, into the African American camp. But nothing could be further from the truth. Through hip hop, Puerto Ricans have simply stretched the boundaries of Puerto Ricanness and latinidad. "New York Ricans from the Hip Hop Zone" explores the Puerto Rican dimension of the hip hop realm. The book breaks with the common assumption that, in terms of cultural history and artistic expression, Puerto Ricans share more with "Latinos" than with African Americans. Using hip hop culture as the focal point, Rivera draws past and present parallels between African Americans and Puerto Ricans by highlighting their shared New York City history and their both being part of the African Diaspora in the Americas.

Wireless assistant sucks, is buggy and reminds me of windows. You should learn to connect to a access point via the command line. It has been discussed on this forum alone hundreds of times.
Hello all...
i just got a Hama WireLess USB Stick wich works with RT73 Drivers.
I just installed the drivers like in this topic "Getting the rt73 driver to work in BT3final" written by 0tt0v0nc4t . I just disabled any WEP etc.. asking in my router to try if i can connect to my router via Back Track 3 easily. My Problem is, that i don't know how to connect to my router. I just tried to use Wireless Assistant 0.5.7. Sometimes the programm finds my router and sometime not.
Then i just scan my router via: airodump-ng rausb0. This programm finds my router and the ENC is Open. (NO WEP etc...). When i try to connect with Wireless Assistant it shows me, connection failed.. yesterday it worked one time but i dont know how i did it...
What settings do i have to make ?
ifwconfig shows me: RT73 Driver ESSID="xxx" Nickname="yyy" and some other Data's like Frequenzy etc...
Thx u !
Wireless assistant sucks, is buggy and reminds me of windows. You should learn to connect to a access point via the command line. It has been discussed on this forum alone hundreds of times.
if your Ap uses wpa encytion try reading this
I have never had a problem connecting to wep with wireless assistant but my card is different and that can be why. If you search around there is a command line way to do it but I am unsure of the exact commands since wireless assistant has always worked for me. I would look it up but college/homework is taking all my time atm.
When you find the commands post them in my thread and I will be happy to add them to the tutorial.
Either way connecting to wep will be the same and when I find the commands for connecting to wep I will add them to my tutorial as well as updating the driver suggestion....
I've just been to busy lately to get to it.
Hello !
At first, thank you very much for your answers !.
I solved the problem.. it was the distance... WireLess Assistant could find my Network, but could not connect to it. When i just get up to the second level of our house it worked very fine.
And today i just bought my own WireLess USB Stick... before i hat to used my dad's one but he needs it too. THe new Wirless Stick is D-Link G122, i use the RT73 driver for it... how can i find out wich drivers would work with that model ? I already tried google but could not find any information.
Last Question: Is the G++ Compiler of BackTrack3 ready to compile C programms ? I would realy begin go code in Linux...
Thank you very much! Sorry for my bad english and my noob questions.. i just beginn to learn that all. I used before SuSe Linux sometimes.. i don't have so much skills but i will learn.
Wish ya good day !
best wishes,

|Information for:
|Campus Communicators
The Bauhaus school, founded in Weimar, Germany, in 1919 just after World War I by Walter Gropius, has had a lasting impact on design. It introduced what are now seen as founding guidelines of modern architecture.
Clean, minimal lines with bold, simple pops of color on buildings, furniture and home goods reflect the Bauhaus principles. Gropius and his successors, Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, instilled a simple, minimalist design theory that is still an inspiration to architects.
After the school closed in 1933 due to political instability in Germany as well as financial problems, Bauhaus designers spread to other parts of the world including Mexico City, Boston, New York, Russia and Paris. Their design influence can be seen worldwide.
The Bauhaus style is now on display at the Auburn University Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art as the first stop in the United States for the exhibition, "Bauhaus twenty-21: An Ongoing Legacy – Photographs by Gordon Watkinson." The exhibit has toured internationally since 2009 and will be displayed in Auburn through May 4.
The exhibit features Gordon Watkinson's photographs of classic Bauhaus architecture, as well as up-and-coming and internationally renowned architects, showing a broad range of Bauhaus-influenced work. Bauhaus-designed furniture created before 1933, yet still manufactured today, is also on display.
Bauhaus, which means 'house for building' in German, also featured a focus on sustainability, well before it was a popular trend. Bauhaus furniture up-cycled bicycle tubes as the sleek framing for chairs. The architects took into consideration the available sunlight in the buildings and where people spend their time in the home, tailoring the buildings for function. The early Bauhaus-styled buildings were meant to be public spaces and included unemployment offices and public housing.
According to photographer Watkinson, Bauhaus founder Gropius was inspired by Henry Ford's assembly line. Gropius worked to have prefabricated housing pieces that could be assembled to build as many as six houses a week. Watkinson said he finds this level of productivity has been lost, but is something to aspire to in the future.
Watkinson's work features photographs of Bauhaus and Bauhaus-inspired buildings in a blue, black and white color scheme. Watkinson shot the images on Polaroid film until Polaroid closed, and switched to a computer program to filter the images. The point of using the same chromatic filter was to show the similarities of the historic and contemporary buildings. Watkinson explained that the background context is taken away to highlight the consistent design style, making the time period nearly indistinguishable.
Based out of New York, Watkinson, a former commercial photographer, along with Michael Siebenbrodt, director of the Bauhaus-Museum in Weimar, and professor Falk Jaeger in Berlin, chose specific buildings for the exhibit to display the evolution of the Bauhaus design philosophy. The contemporary buildings show how the style has remained classic and minimalist since its inception in the earlier renditions. Watkinson's next project is to explore expressions of modernism, including French Modernism and Midcentury American Modernism.
His complete work is available in a book for purchase in the Museum Shop.

Weighing in on SCALE 8x
Now I know what people mean when they say, when they're exausted, that "it's a good exhaustion."
After two days of the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 8x, attendance has been nothing short of phenomenal. Although the folks at registration will have the final number once registration has closed, but it inching past 1,500 as of Saturday.
It showed: Traffic on the Expo floor has been so heavy that several of the vendors had run out of their giveaway items by midafternoon Saturday.
Karsten Wade's keynote speech Saturday morning had an overflow crowd; between the Westin theater and the overflow into the Kennedy room, we counted about 275 people listening to Karsten talk about being a catalyst in communities. Not only this, most of the other sessions were some of the more popular sessions were standing-room only.
Has it been flawless? No. Bandwidth out to the Internet has been a problem, but when you have 700 licenses across the network, things are bound to bog down — Of course, no realistic amount of bandwidth would be sufficient for such a geekfest (it appears that four bonded DSL lines just don't cut it). SCALE is discussing how to improve that next year.
At the Fedora booth, I got to meet several teachers — folks who attended the Open Source Software in Education sessions on Friday — who attended Saturday, new to Linux and FOSS and full of curiosity. The folks staffing the booth — Ben Williams (Southern_Gentleman), Clint Savage (herlo), Karsten Wade (quaid), Scott Williams (vwbusguy), and me (lcafiero) — have been doing an outstanding job.
A recap of the event will follow. Watch this space.
(Fedora ambassador Larry Cafiero runs Redwood Digital Research in Felton, California, and is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation.)

You're kidding right?
There's no way it's been a whole year since your last SCALE report.
It is just once a year isn't it?
"…have been doing an outstanding job." What else would you expect? You rock.
Man, how time does go by.
Thanks for the report for those of us elsewhere.
