Effect of Noise and Transducer Variability on the Performance of Circular Microphone Arrays (PDF-806KB) | |
M. A. Poletti | 371 |
As a low-cost alternative for three-dimensional microphone arrays, circular arrays are appropriate for analyzing room acoustics, recording live sound fields, and providing teleconferencing applications. The ideal performance of such arrays is limited by additive noise and transducer variability. These two effects are quantitatively examined for the simple case of incident plane waves. The effective signal-to-noise ratio depends on the frequency, the area of the array, and the density of microphones. Variations in phase among microphones produce high-order polar response errors at low frequencies. | |
The Active Listening Room: A Novel Approach to Early Reflection Manipulation in Critical Listening Rooms (PDF-874KB) | |
Amber Naqvi and Francis Rumsey | 385 |
Rather than trying to change the natural acoustics of a space, adding active panels and loudspeakers creates an active listening area within an existing space. Simulations using a computer-based acoustic design package determine the required parameters for creating the target space. This approach is more flexible than standardized reference listening rooms. In effect, the acoustics of a small region within a large space is being controlled. | |
Audible Noise Suppression with a Real-Time Broad-Band and Superdirective Microphone Array (PDF-1.0MB) | |
Jose-Luis Sanchez-Bote, Joaquin Gonzalez-Rodriguez, and Javier Ortega-Garcia | 403 |
By extending algorithms used for noise suppression from a single microphone to a 15-microphone nested linear array, extra spatial information then contributes additional noise reduction. This extra information | |
Low-DC-Resistance, Low-Frequency Loudspeaker Enclosures (PDF-839KB) | |
Carlo Zuccatti | 419 |
By using loudspeaker drives with low voice-coil resistance, the sensitivity near resonance can be significantly increased. However at frequencies far from resonances, an additional passive filter provides safe impedance to the amplifier. The combination improves the sensitivity and power output in low-frequency enclosures. This approach has an extra degree of freedom not normally found with such enclosures. | |

As a comedienne, Aisha Tyler has thousands of funny stories stored up inside of her that she doles out on stage at her stand-up shows, on her Girl on Guy podcast, and daily on The Talk, as well.
There is a specific art to telling a story that encompasses one's own
shortcomings or missteps but does so with humility and humor. Tyler has
mastered that. But there is also a specific art telling such stories in
print, rather than verbally, and Tyler's newest book, "Self-Inflicted Wounds: Heartwarming Tales of Epic Humiliation," Tyler is not only exercising those slightly different muscles but mastering them as well.
"I hate reading books where it's just people talking about how awesome they are and aren't they fascinating?" Inspirational Women in the Entertainment Industry profilee Tyler, who is loath to call "Self-Inflicted Wounds" a memoir, said when I sat down with her in Los Angeles.
essentially 'Here's how I fucked up and what you can get out of it.' If
all it does is make people laugh, that's great, but if what it does is
make people feel better about the mistakes they've made, that's great.
If what it does is encourage people to not let their mistakes cripple
them, which is my goal—to make everybody brave—then [I've done it].
That's my ultimate goal."
Though Tyler released her first book
in 2004 and admitted to wanting to do another one since almost
immediately after her debut publishing, that is often easier said than
done. Not only does she have an extremely busy performing schedule (she
also hosts Whose Line Is It Anyway? on The CW and voices Lana Kane on FX' Archer),
but the kind of writer she is doesn't necessarily lend itself to
sitting down and banging out pages on a plane or in the make-up chair.
"Creatively for me, I have ideas swimming for a long time before [they] gel," Tyler said, crediting her podcast for why it all-- finally-- came together again.
had been doing the podcast for awhile; I was thinking about what was
working, and what started to instill from the podcast was that people
were really starting to connect with me. I wish I could say I came up
with some kind of grand scheme, but really it was just an idea that
people really loved. And it was time to turn the tables on myself
because I had been making people humiliate themselves for two years on
my podcast."
Being surrounded by funny, creative people all of
the time helped Tyler hone in on the areas of her life she wanted to
explore more in-depth in the book, noting the most important factor was
not to protect her friends and family whose stories were being told by
association but to ensure she wasn't making herself look too good
through hindsight or image-consciousness.
"I really didn't want any of the things to be naval-gazing self-indulgence," Tyler said.
"There are [certainly] some things I left out of the book that I was like, 'I can't bring myself to write about this now,' but maybe in "Self-Inflicted Wounds the Redux: The Woundening!"
Anything that was really painful, they say the more you digest and
process and look at it through more distance and experience, it scabs
over. For me this was maybe also an exercise in putting my own demons in
the light, and in doing so you render them harmless."

Teapot Mottoware Longpark Torquay
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
Beautifully decorated and glazed, this Torquay teapot gives the advice, "Dawntee be fraid aut now." The teapot measures almost 5" high and 8" across at the widest points. The colors are so vivid against the cream background and contrasted to the chocolate brown of the handle, spout, and lid. There is a small chip in the rim just above the word, "now". You will notice a spot at the place on the photo, but that is a larger reflection. A tiny bit of matching brown would take care of the chip very nicely. Otherwise, the teapot is in very good condition. The strip you see in the photo going from the rim to the top of the lid is tape that is securing the lid to the pot for safety sake while displayed in the shop. This is a beautiful example of Torquay pottery.

The paint that binds
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 08/09/12
If your last artistic endeavor was a childhood paint-by-number or a high school art class, a new Henrico business provides the opportunity to uncork your inner artist and fuel your creative spirit – with 30 or 40 friends if you so desire.
Open since November, Spirited Art is located in West Broad Village, adjacent to The Wine Loft. That's where the "spirit" comes in.
Individuals and groups who attend painting sessions or classes during Wine Loft hours can order from a menu of flatbreads, sliders, cheese boards and beverages to enjoy while they create.
And the creations? Depending on the night, participants paint may anything from flowers and trees to animals to (the most popular) the Richmond skyline.
No artistic experience is needed; as promotional literature emphasizes, all that painters need to know are their shapes, letters and colors. And it helps to bring a friend and a sense of humor.
On a recent evening, Spirited Art hosted a record crowd of about 65 primarily-amateur artists gathered to paint blue crabs while they raised funds for the non-profit organization Boaz & Ruth, which has transformed the Highland Park community of Richmond by creating jobs, renovating buildings and starting businesses.
Before buckling down to their masterpieces, the painters heard from a Boaz & Ruth spokesperson, who described the organization's job training sessions, conflict resolution classes and coaching and counseling programs and their empowering effects for participants who had struggled with homelessness, prison and addiction.
"We rebuild [not just] stores and houses," said the spokesperson, who like most graduates of Boaz and Ruth programs was once incarcerated. "We rebuild lives."
Family time
After a brief explanation of the process from a Spirited Art guide, and turns with the crab template to outline paintings, 65 heads bent over their canvases and the color-mixing began in earnest. Among the varied groups tackling the task were several residents of Wellesley, members of Christ Church Episcopal (a supporter of Boaz & Ruth), and employees of Free Agents Marketing. Many were encouraged to come by Marilyn Wayland of Free Agents, who organized the fundraising event.
But others who attended independently included the team of Stephanie Evans and her 12-year-old daughter Sarah, who decided to share one canvas and paint their crustacean as a collaborative effort. Their cousin and friend, Tracey Papas, was on her fourth trip to Spirited Art and had invited the Evans to join her for some family bonding.
"It's a good summer outing," said Stephanie Evans, as she and Sarah fine-tuned the shade of pink that would form the crab's background.
"And nice mother-daughter time."
On another recent afternoon, a group of 30 employees from Capital One gathered in the Spirited Art studio to paint one of the most popular subjects – the Richmond skyline – while doing some corporate team-building.
The atmosphere at the studio lends itself easily to team-building activities, say the owners, because it gets colleagues outside the comfort zone of their offices, breaks down workplace barriers and puts everyone on a more-or-less equal footing -- not to mention building camaraderie and injecting fun and humor into the mix.
In addition, participants finish the session with a memento to take home or back to the office – typically the skyline painting, but sometimes a corporate symbol or abstract piece of art. A group of 40 employees from University of Richmond, for example, all contributed to the same masterpiece: a multiple-paneled portrayal of the UR gazebo.
And after a visit by the Bon Secours Memorial School of Nursing, faculty member Trina Gardner told the Spirited Art staff, "We had no idea what to expect of this adventure, but we ended up with some excellent paintings – and insight into our true personalities!"
Among other Henrico groups and corporations that have visited Spirited Art for team-building events, said co-owner Dami Snyder, are Snagajob, Henrico County Schools, AmeriFinancial and CapTech. And although the Capital One group decided to focus on the social aspects for their experience, groups can also choose to add a challenging exercise or two. In one such exercise, explained Snyder, colleagues reach the halfway point of the session and take their communal break – only to hear the announcement that after the break, everyone will
move three seats over and resume painting on someone else's canvas.
"It's a good lesson," said Snyder, pointing out that the exercise highlights surprises and setbacks that can occur in the typical workplace. "You don't always get the project you want," she noted as one example. "You may get a project better than you thought you'd get. And you may walk into a hot mess!"
'I missed art in my life'
Although Spirited Art is new to the Richmond area, the concept is based on similar successful programs in Huntsville, Little Rock and Knoxville. Lauren McCormick, who is Snyder's sister and one of four co-owners of the Richmond site, said that once she visited the Alabama location, she could hardly wait to open a similar spot back home in Richmond. When she had become a mother, said McCormick, her artistic pursuits had fallen by the wayside. "I missed art in my
life," she said.
Despite the obstacles posed by restrictive Virginia ABC laws, which forbade the BYOB format of other Spirited Art sites, the owners persevered. Learning that the space next door to The Wine Loft was available, she approached Jeff Ottaviano of The Wine Loft about a partnership. By Thanksgiving 2011, Spirited Art Richmond was off and running, with little more than word-of-mouth advertising.
As the Boaz and Ruth event wound to a close July 24 – at $1,120 in proceeds, Spirited Art's biggest fundraiser to date – it was clear that the session had not only made a substantial sum for charity, but had also made a substantial number of memories.
Tracey Papas, in fact, made a point of flipping her canvas over and telling the Evanses that she had recorded their names for posterity. "I always write on the back of it," Papas told them, "about who I was with."
Across the room, 90-year-old Irma Rich beamed for the camera held by her daughter-in-law Adrienne Rich of Free Agents, while noisy groups of co-workers and neighbors posed proudly with their paintings for photos for the Spirited Art Facebook page. And next to the Evanses, a professional artist from Chesterfield wrapped up her fourth crab painting and speculated on which charity might be the recipient of her latest effort.
A frequent studio visitor, Sally Valentine has already painted a half dozen projects for the purpose of donating them to silent auctions at charity events. The last time she painted a crab, it raised $85 for a fundraiser for the Cape Charles Museum; another Spirited Art painting made $185 at a separate silent auction.
But generating money for charity, said Valentine, is not the only thing she enjoys about her visits to Spirited Art. The evening sessions allow her a chance to get out and meet interesting people, while also freeing her from distractions and enforcing a built-in time limit.
"It's great," said Valentine, "that you can come here and and sit down and paint – and it forces you to finish it!"

I have no time to fiddle with the traditional "lobster claw" clasp. This product allows the individual to quickly put on or off most necklaces or jewelry. I have replaced the old school clasp with these and am VERY satisfied....and you will be too!
Absolutely wonderful
By pmhenry

I have arthritis in my hands and that makes fastening a necklace almost impossible. I have used these for years. I put a set on each necklace as I buy it.They last forever and hold well enough there is no threat of losing my necklace. I buy them whenever you advertise them to have on hand. Thank you so much

The economy is so powerful in determining the results of U.S. presidential elections that political scientists can predict winners and losers with amazing accuracy long before the campaigns start. But if it is true that "it's the economy, Stupid," why do incumbents in good economies sometimes lose? The reason, Lynn Vavreck argues, is that what matters is not just the state of the economy but how candidates react to it. By demonstrating more precisely than ever before how candidates and their campaigns affect the economic vote, The Message Matters provides a powerful new way of understanding past elections--and predicting future ones.
Vavreck examines the past sixty years of presidential elections and offers a new theory of campaigns that explains why electoral victory requires more than simply being the candidate favored by prevailing economic conditions. Using data from presidential elections since 1952, she reveals why, when, and how campaign messages make a difference--and when they can outweigh economic predictors of election outcomes.
The Message Matters does more than show why candidates favored by the economy must build their campaigns around economic messages. Vavreck's theory also explains why candidates disadvantaged by the economy must try to focus their elections on noneconomic issues that meet exacting criteria--and why this is so hard to do.

'Burb cluelessness
It's nice that letter writer Larry Duncan ("Your Responsibility," Feb. 17) was able to adequately prepare for the light dusting we received. Too bad his recommendations for all us "selfish, egotistical, ignorant degenerates" are entirely ridiculous given the circumstances of the affected people.
Suburban life must be great. Just a little inconvenience for you. Just go out to the garage and grab some firewood. Too bad those of us in Mount Washington, Shadyside and Oakland don't have fireplaces. I'll be sure to stock up on kerosene and a new kerosene heater, once my landlord allows them. Oh, and while we're at it, we'll have to remember to ask him to add some extra closets and cupboards to store my gallons of drinking water in my apartment, and pots of stockpiled water to flush my toilet.
Those of us in Pittsburgh proper pay an exorbitant amount of income, property and sales taxes, and I think we have a right to expect our utilities to work and roads to be plowed. Safety issues extend beyond just having power out and no running water.
When ambulances and police can't respond to health emergencies, related to the weather or not, that is a big issue. But thanks for your condescending suggestions from the 'burbs.

JERUSALEM, June 20, 2013 - UEFA European U21 Championships is now history. The next tournament in 2015 will be held in the Czech Republic. So what can players and visitors expect? Some warm hospitality, solid organization, good conditions at the stadiums and decent hotels.
The Championship in 2015 will be held across four stadiums. One group will play in Prague, the others in Olomouc and Uherske Hradiste. The final will surely be held in Prague, but it has not been decided yet whether the match will be played at Letna or Eden (both stadiums have capacity around 20 000 seats).
"We want to enhance the organizational scheme and make the tournament a prestigious event, a must-see for everyone, no matter who would play," said the chief of the organizing committee Petr Fousek.
The Czech Republic has been a member of the European Union since 2004. More than ten million people live there and the national language is Czech.
The capital city Prague with almost 1.5 million inhabitants is world-famous for its magnificent sights like Prague Castle, Charles Bridge or National Theatre and for its vibrant night life.
The tourists especially praise the Czech gastronomy and yes the Czech beer. The well-known beer is produced in the city of Pilsen, which gave its name to the whole type of beer, and is known under the Pilsner Urquel brand.
The other host cities are in Moravia (Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia are the main regions in the country). Olomouc has around 100 thousand inhabitants and only 25 thousand people live in Uherske Hradiste.
The qualifications to this Championship have already started and will end in the autumn of 2014.

Before I added my "Top Of Page" button, I would compose my posts in "Edit HTML" mode, and at the end of each post, I would add
>> Top
>> Top
That gave me a link to the top of the page, since I included an anchor link "Top" inside an HTML gadget, at the top of the page.

That's simple enough, once you get used to adding the code.
There's a caveat here, though.
Having added the code
I have learned, the hard way that I cannot ever edit the post using Compose mode. Any time that I edit the post using Compose mode,>> Top
becomes>> Top
>> Top
The only solution was, that any time I created a post, I would add
last. Then, stay in "Edit HTML" for any more editing.>> Top
Blogger Engineering has been shown this problem a few times. It's possible that it is deeply embedded in the Blogger code base, and will require much work to be diagnosed.
In my case, I eliminated the need to add anchor links, by adding my "Top Of Page" button. That eliminates 99% of the anchor links, that I add to my posts.
This may be a problem which we have to know about, and avoid causing. Compose and install anchor links, after you finish using Compose mode - and beware toggling between Compose and HTML modes.

To distill our list of the 20 most dangerous vehicles on the market, we looked at SCORE (Statistical Combination of Risk Elements) data from Informed for Life, a non-profit vehicle safety information organization, for 2007 model-year vehicles, including vehicles with a full range of crash-test results from NHTSA, the IIHS, or a combination of the two; to also consider the role of accident avoidance (or the lack thereof), we broke any ties with Consumer Reports' accident avoidance scores. CR first measures the vehicle's maximum stable speed through emergency handling, essentially simulating a quick swerve around an obstacle, then factors in driving position, visibility and seat comfort–all issues that the organization deems important in successfully avoiding an accident.
A score of 150 means that the relative risk of driver fatality is 50% higher than for the average passenger car, and in the group's 2007 ranking list, the most dangerous vehicle, the Buick Rendezvous, at 161, has more than three times the relative risk of fatality that the Hyundai Entourage and Kia Sedona minivans, at 51.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
As seen with some recent IPOs -- like (NYSE:NOW) and (NYSE:ET) -- the cloud space has been hot. To ride the wave, there are a new batch of companies looking to be the big players.
One is CliQr. The company recently completed a seed round of funding from Ventures and Foundation Capital.
And yes, I recently had a chance to talk to CliQr's CEO and co-founder, Gaurav Manglik. Here's what he had to say:
What was the inspiration for the company?
My co-founder Tenry Fu and I have worked for years on many of the foundational disciplines associated with cloud computing including virtualization, security and systems management at companies such as , McAfee, and Oracle and hold more than a dozen patents in these areas. We saw that for clouds to truly proliferate, there had to be a way to get applications and clouds to work together optimally and securely without either having to be changed. This next phase of cloud computing is what we refer to as "Cloud 2.0" – any app on any cloud.
Why is it so tough for companies to move to the cloud? What does your company do to make it better and quicker?
Most cloud providers today require specific rules and behaviors that define how they want to handle things such as initializing new compute resources, managing security or coordinating the network. For a business' existing application to work in the cloud, companies today need to develop code for their application.
CliQr has developed a capability to get different applications to work with different private, public or hybrid clouds without anything having to be modified. We are also able to do this in a manner that optimizes the way the application can scale up and down on the cloud, enabling it to realize the very best performance possible. Most of the time, instead of the months-to-years migration of the past, we can get on any cloud in a day.
There has been lots of consolidation in the cloud space, such as with Oracle and SAP. How might that impact the industry? Your business?
Some very large independent software vendors (ISV's) have been faced with both the challenge and realization that their customers are looking for a way to decouple data center resources from the applications and databases.
These customers are looking for a way to run these applications on the cloud in order to scale on-demand and in order to get off of the data center hardware roller coaster. So ISV's must decide: Do they become dependent on commercial cloud providers to host images of their software or do they create their own clouds? This issue actually highlights CliQr's strengths. In other words, we think that we'll be unaffected by some of the noise and consolidation in the cloud space.

Military families look forward to being together after a long deployment with many mixed emotions. Each family member will have different expectations. Every family situation is different. However it is important to remember the needs and feelings of the returning family member, the adult at home and the children.
Understanding the Returning Family Member
Understanding the Adult that Stayed at Home
Understanding the Children
Understanding the Family
Give Everyone Time
Reunion of a military family after a long deployment is a cause for celebration. Some patience and understanding will go a long way to help the whole family successfully reunite with a minimum of problems. While most families cope successfully with the stress of the deployment and following reunion, problems can develop. If significant problems develop, the family should seek help from a qualified mental health professional.

(MCT) LOS ANGELES — People don't have time to wait for conclusive information about nutrition and cancer, says an advocacy group that has issued six dietary recommendations to help prevent cancer.
The guidance to emphasize fruits and vegetables hardly will raise an eyebrow, when even the federal government's My Plate graphic recommendation is half produce. But the paper, published Monday in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, also recommends little or no dairy, red or processed meat, and avoiding meat that's fried, grilled or broiled.
The evidence is "sufficiently compelling" if not conclusive in six areas, say the authors from several institutions, including the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which advocates for vegetarian or vegan diets and opposes animal experiments.
Evidence for the guidelines, the researchers wrote, comes from the 2007 report of the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research and other sources.
The report suggests that limiting or avoiding dairy products may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. It cites studies showing an association between diets high in calcium — from dairy and other sources — and the disease.
The researchers note that reducing dairy also may reduce calcium intake, which is important for bone health and for prevention of colorectal cancer. They suggest getting calcium from green leafy vegetables and other foods.
The second recommendation is to limit or avoid alcohol, which may reduce risk of several cancers including of the mouth, esophagus, colon and rectum. The researchers do note that a drink a day for women and two for men are associated with reduced risk of heart and Alzheimer's disease.
The third guideline is that avoiding red and processed meat may reduce colon and rectal cancer risk. Citing the cancer research fund report, the authors said "findings were consistent and dose related, with every 120 grams of red meat consumed on a daily basis increasing risk by an estimated 28 percent."
A disadvantage of avoiding red meat, the researchers note, is that it is a concentrated source of protein, iron and zinc.
A request to the Cattlemen's Association and the Dairy Council for comment was not immediately answered Tuesday.
The fourth guideline is that avoiding grilled, fried or broiled meat and fish — high-temperature cooking methods — may reduce the risk of several cancers, including colon, breast, pancreas and prostate.
The fifth guideline said that eating soy products during adolescence may reduce the risk of breast cancer in adulthood, and soy may reduce the risk of recurrence for women who have been treated for breast cancer. The researchers suggest choosing soy foods — edamame or tofu, for instance — over pills and powders.
Finally, the report advocates eating lots of fruits and vegetables for their fiber and phytochemicals to reduce the risk of several cancers. Of course, nutritionists and public health officials recommend eating lots of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis for many reasons.

This engaging character study functions best as a two-hander: The male leads build a wholly believable, offbeat co-dependency, while their interactions with others tend toward the more generic.
Two homeless Irishmen — one (Colm Meaney) in his 50s, the other (Colin Morgan) in his 20s, both living out of their cars in an otherwise empty seaside parking lot — forge an improbable friendship in TV documentarian Darragh Byrne's debut fiction feature, "Parked." This engaging character study functions best as a two-hander: The male leads build a wholly believable, offbeat co-dependency, while their interactions with others tend toward the more generic. "Parked," gearing up Nov. 30 at Gotham's Cinema Village, will probably find a long-term space on vignette-friendly cable.
With few characters and only a handful of locations, Byrne and scriptwriter Ciaran Creagh create a scenario on the margins of lower-middle-class respectability. Fred (Meaney) has recently returned to Ireland after many years drifting across England, practicing a variety of trades. Cathal (Morgan), who passes his time in a marijuana haze, has been kicked out of his home by his father. The two turn out to be as uniquely suited to helping each other as they are inept at helping themselves. Cathal introduces Fred to the amenities of a municipal gym and encourages his romance with Jules (Milka Ahlroth), a lovely Finnish piano teacher; he also shows Fred how to navigate the welfare system that refuses to enroll him without an address. Fred, for his part, fixes the prized watch Cathal got from his father, fills in the paternal gap, and attempts to wean the young man off the drugs that are increasingly taking over his life. Fred even essays some impressive fighting moves to save Cathal from a bad beating by goons to whom he owes money. Thesping is exemplary. Meaney's meticulous, uptight Fred, ashamed of his homelessness and loath to try new experiences, blossoms under his wild friend's tutelage, deliberately spinning his car out of control on an empty country road and risking ridicule by joining an all-women's aquatic class to be close to Jules; in the role of an oddly unassuming foreign sophisticate, Ahlroth makes an unusual foil. But it's Morgan's charm that holds the mismatched elements together, even as the facile, predictable drug drama limits the film's effectiveness. Production values are pro. Lenser John Conroy's wintry seascapes convey the chilly atmosphere without excessive bleakness.Parked

The first time I met William Andrewes, several years ago, he was wearing an inexpensive wristwatch with the cartoon figures Tintin and Snowy running across the dial. Since Andrewes then served as curator of Harvard University's Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, his whimsical watch cut a ridiculous contrast with the important timekeepers he maintained, exhibited and also used as teaching aids in his course, "Instruments of Time and Space."
From This Story
Since leaving Harvard, in 1999, Andrewes, who is 56, has given up wearing a watch at all. At home, in Concord, Massachusetts, he can tell time well enough by a dozen or so antiques he keeps in good working order, and he says that while traveling he finds time "publicly available." When I saw him in October 2004 at Sotheby's in New York, for the seventh and final auction of the holdings of the now defunct Time Museum—the world's most comprehensive assemblage of timekeeping devices, dating from 3000 b.c. to the present—he was relying on his cellphone to keep appointments. "It allows you to tell time to the nearest minute," he assured me, "which is fine for civic purposes, though not sufficiently accurate for setting another clock."
Andrewes bid on several lots during that three-day auction, and almost everything he purchased, whether for himself or a client, he was buying for the second time; as the Time Museum's curator from 1977 to 1987, he had shopped the world to increase its collection from 1,300 to more than 3,500 items. Andrewes and his wife, Cathy, seated next to him that day at Sotheby's, could tie dozens of the museum's pieces to significant dates in their courtship and marriage and the births of their two children. They felt a special fondness for the clock Will had been restoring when they met—a 19th-century Christian Gebhard astronomical and automaton clock with 17 dials, 2 revolving globes, barometer, planetarium, date displays and figures performing each quarter and hour (including a religious procession every day at noon and a herald blowing a trumpet at midnight on New Year's Eve)—but it is nearly ten feet tall, more than eight feet long and far beyond their means. It sold for $142,400.
Despite Andrewes' long fascination with complex mechanical clockworks, he has recently taken what might seem a giant leap backward to become a "dialist," or maker of sundials. "My original goal in this," he said in response to my surprise, "was to produce an accurate timepiece with no moving parts—an original creation that combined art and science, drawing from the long traditions of both in its design, and incorporating the finest craftsmanship and latest technology in its construction." What really set his idea apart, however, was his intention to base the dial on an unusual type of map, and to center the map on the very spot where the dial would stand. The map's meridians of longitude would serve as the sundial's hour lines, creating a union of time and space for that particular location—something no dialist or clockmaker had ever before achieved.
A sundial is one of the oldest—it may be the oldest—of all scientific instruments. It depends on the Earth's rotation, although when it was first contrived, probably before 1500 b.c., its makers believed that the Sun revolved around a stationary Earth. Either way one envisions the heavens, the practice is the same: the Sun shines on the dial, and a protruding "gnomon" (from the Greek for "one who knows"—presumably one who knows what time it is) casts a shadow among the hour lines marked on a dial plate, indicating the time. What could be simpler? Or rather, what could be more deceptive than the apparent simplicity of this device? For in order to make the fallen shadow even approximate the correct time, the dial must be laid out with regard to latitude north or south of the Equator where it is to be used, respecting the changing high point of the Sun in the sky from day to day over the course of the year and the variable speed of the Earth's annual motion. There is nothing obvious about the construction of a proper sundial. Anyone who buys a mass-produced sundial and sets it out among the flower beds as a decoration should not be surprised to find that it fails to work.
The great variety of dial designs through history, according to the late science historian Derek de Solla Price, attests to the "aesthetic or religious satisfaction" that dialists must have derived from trying to simulate the heavens. Vitruvius, architect of ancient Rome, counted at least 13 dial styles already in use in Greece by 30 b.c. Then as now, a dial could be mounted vertically on the side of a building or set horizontally on a pedestal or the ground, and take virtually any shape—flat, spherical, conical or cylindrical. Some sundials were stationary, others movable, and many, like a sundial George Washington carried, were meant to fit in a pocket. Although weight-driven mechanical clocks were introduced in England around 1280, and became fixtures of public and private life by the 1600s, their proliferation sparked a boom in sundials. In the 1700s, after the inventions of the pendulum clock in The Hague and the balance spring in Paris inaugurated the era of precision timekeeping, sundials achieved even greater importance than before. "Just as the computer increased the need for the paper that some people thought it would replace," Andrewes says, "clocks—and later watches—greatly increased the demand for sundials, because every timekeeper needs, at some point, to be set correctly." A clock or watch may keep time, but only a sundial can find time—a distinctly different function—by deriving the hour from the relative positions of the Earth and Sun.
Today the work of measuring precise time has been relegated to government agencies such as the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., the International Earth Rotation Service at the Paris Observatory and the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures in Sevres, France, all of which measure a second by the interval it takes a cesium atom to vibrate 9,192,631,770 times. Because the Earth goes its own way in space, however, heedless of atomic time, "leap seconds" are periodically added to our years to keep our clocks in sync with the turning of our planet. A sundial requires no such adjustment. "A sundial lets you see the Earth turn," Andrewes says. "Of course you know it's turning, but when you witness the shadow moving across the dial you feel something. Many people have no idea why the seasons occur—that the hemisphere tilted toward the Sun actually changes from winter to summer. Time has become separated from space, and I think that's a mistake."
Andrewes' workshop, in the basement of his family's colonialstyle home in Concord, accommodates a 3,000-volume reference library, banks of file cabinets, a desk with a computer and other office equipment, a conference table and his drafting table, lathe and workbench. Sundial parts lie everywhere, along with an accumulation of clocks he has bought, or built himself, or saved for sentimental reasons, such as a 19th-century cuckoo clock that belonged to his parents—the first clock he ever took apart.
Though clocks surround him, Andrewes says he doesn't pay that much attention to time. "Clockmakers are the least time-conscious people," he says, "because in the end it does not matter how much time it takes to build a timepiece, but only that it turn out beautifully and show none of the angst that went into it. Engineers are happy if they make something that works, and many tend not to care what the inside bits look like, but clockmakers attend to all the hidden details, even on parts that will never be seen unless the clock is dismantled. To be a clockmaker is to work not just for yourself or your client, but also for someone else far in the future, someone who knows enough to judge your work, and who will look at something you've made someday and—you hope—say, 'That was done right.'"
As a teenager in North London, where Andrewes spent school vacations assisting a local clockmaker, his hero was John Harrison, the 18th-century clockmaker who solved the problem of finding longitude at sea by creating the first accurate marine chronometer. By age 19, Andrewes had befriended Harrison's biographer, Humphrey Quill, a past master in the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, a guild. Quill, by then elderly, placed Andrewes under the guidance of world-renowned watchmaker George Daniels, and also entrusted the youth with an unfinished Harrison clock—an early wooden regulator abandoned around 1720—for him to complete as his formal initiation into horology, the science of precision timekeeping. After Andrewes graduated from the Kingston College of Art in 1972, he taught design, clockmaking and metalwork at Eton College. The commission he won from the Royal Mint to create three medals commemorating the 300th anniversary, in 1975, of the Royal Observatory, in Greenwich, led to his taking charge of the observatory's historical collection of chronometers and precision clocks.

Alice in the Land of Zmaj
July 2nd 2016 at 11h DAH Theatre Marulićeva 8
This campaign aims to draw attention to a lack of workspace for DAH Theatre, and provide the theatre with a permanent solution, thus allowing it to resume the diverse activities and programs it has been carrying out for no less than 24 years. Through the campaign, DAH theatre hopes to gather both donators and authorities from the Government and the Belgrade City Administration, with a purpose to achieve joint realization of a project of civilian and public partnership in Serbia. From its founding in 1991, DAH Theatre had been operating in different workspaces, including Sava Centre, Cultural Centre Stari Grad, Cinema Rex, Cultural Centre of Belgrade and many other. Since 2003, it's been seated in the facilities of elementary school "Kralj Petar II Karadjordjevic" in 8 Maruliceva St., in Belgrade's municipality of Vracar. The theatre adapted this space to accommodate its needs, and was thereby supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia and the City of Belgrade. Bearing in mind that the current solution is not a permanent one, due to school management's intention to use these facilities for its requirements, the goal of the campaign A House for DAH is to find facilities adequate for the work and professional improvement of members of DAH Theatre, further development of theatre's activities in local community and an even better program. Realization of the project A House for DAH would not only allow the theatre group to continue to exist as a unique cultural phenomenon in Serbia, but it would also support a large number of artists, professionals from all fields of culture, students, children and youth, volunteers - both from Serbia and worldwide - who have been DAH Theatre's members or associates, and who intend to continue the collaboration.
Maja Mitic, one of the founding members and production director of DAHTheatre will hold a workshop in ?Palermo together with esteemed theatre artists and performers, so don't miss this fabulous opportunity to perfect your craft in ??Italy!

A few months back I donated a pet portrait to Cat Assistance NY's silent auction at their annual fundraising gala. I was delighted when I found out that the winners of the portrait session, Brian & Tanya, have 5 cats. I was looking forward to the challenge of getting photos of 5 cats and after having to reschedule several times due to bad weather, we finally did the shoot a few weeks ago. It was great to finally meet Brian and Tanya after having spoken to and emailed with them for almost 2 months! I also really enjoyed meeting all 5 cats, all of whom were rescued from the city shelters (animal care and control of NYC).
Here are just a couple of the photos I picked out for Brian and Tanya:
Walter is the youngest, and newest addition to the family. He is also the most mischievous!
This is Orange- the shyest of the group but I managed to get a few good shots. This is Hilary- she was found on Clinton St. in Brooklyn hence her name.Maley is a sweet cat, he is named after a sculptor who lived on Martha's Vineyard. Hilary and Walter going at it!
And last but not least, this is M.E. (which stands for missing ears). She was set on fire by a young boy and as a result she is missing both of her ears. Luckily she survived and found a wonderful home. It's heartbreaking to me how somone could do this to an innocent cat but it happens all too often. It amazes me how sweet and unafraid she was and how she can be trusting of someone she just met after all she went through.
If you are interested in adopting a cat or in donating and/or volunteering your time to cat rescue- plesase visit Cat Assistance of NY's website HERE . They a great organization and like all pet rescue groups they could really use the help.

according to Grecian fable, was the son of Amyclas, a Spartan king. The lad was beloved by Apollo and Zephyr, and as he preferred the sun-god, Zephyr drove Apollo's quoit at his head, and killed him. The blood became a flower, and the petals are inscribed with the boy's name. (Virgil Eclogues, iii. 106.)
The hyacinth bewrays the doleful `A I, And culls the tribute of Apollo's sigh. Scill on its bloom the mournful flower retains The lovely blue that dyed the stripling's veins.

SoCal Median Home Price Drops 35 Percent
Tuesday, December 16, 2008
A real estate tracking firm says the median home price in a six-county region of Southern California fell 35 percent in November from a year ago.
More than half of those who bought preowned homes and condos seized on bargain-priced foreclosed properties.
In its report Tuesday, San Diego-based MDA DataQuick says the median price for homes and condos tumbled to $285,000 last month from $435,000 in November 2007.
November's median was the lowest since April 2003.
There were 16,720 homes sold in the region last month, up 27 percent from the year-ago period.
Foreclosures accounted for 55 percent of sales of preowned homes and condos in November, up from 19 percent in November last year.
