Sony to bring Flash-only UX1 UMPC to UK
Sony will bring its Flash-based Vaio UX ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) out of Japan next month when it ships the VGN-UX1XN micro PC in the UK. It may be small, but this handheld wireless computer comes at a hefty price: it will retail for a whopping £2,000.
But boy does it look smart. Unlike the current UX, the new model comes entirely in black and sports a blue-backlit black QWERTY keyboard. Internally, the star of the show is the 32GB NAND Flash-based solid-state drive, backed by a 1.33GHz ultra-low voltage Intel Core Solo U1500 processor and 1GB of 400MHz DDR 2 SDRAM.
The UX1XN's display is a 4.5in, 1,204 x 600 X-Black touchscreen powered by the Intel GMA950 graphics core integrated into the machines 945GMS chipset. It's Vista-ready, said Sony, but not up to Vista Premium spec.
The 0.5kg UMPC has 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a GSM/GRPS/EDGE cellular modem on board. There's a VGA (300,000-pixel) camera on the front and a rear-mounted 1.3 megapixel camera. The device has a fingerprint reader for extra data security.

Another Day, Another Distro: Antergos Linux Is Born
May 23, 2013 5:00 AM PT
They say springtime is a season of rebirth and renewal, and we've had ample illustration of that truth here in the Linux blogosphere this year.
Not only have we seen the birth of Cloverleaf -- initially FuSE -- from the ashes of Fuduntu, but now Cinnarch has gone through a similar transformation, albeit less dramatic.
No real death was involved this time, Linux Girl is pleased to report. Rather, the Arch-based distro decided to give the Cinnamon desktop at its foundation the proverbial boot, calling it "too much a burden to maintain/update going forward."
Their choice instead? None other than GNOME, with the result that Cinnarch has now renamed itself "Antergos," a Galician word "to link the past with the present," as the team put it.
Heads still spinning from the Fuduntu-to-Cloverleaf transformation, Linux bloggers have been struggling to process this latest news -- greatly assisted, as per usual, by the freely flowing tequila down at the blogosphere's Punchy Penguin Saloon.
'They Risk Losing Momentum'
"It really seems that distros are dropping like flies around here, but this one isn't really going away," mused Linux Rants blogger Mike Stone, for example.
"I can't speak to the contention that Cinnamon was too much of a burden to maintain/update, but I would say that's up to the people doing the development," Stone added.
"What an organization chooses to name their distro is their business," agreed blogger Robert Pogson. Still, "changing the name had better reflect a new ethos or they risk losing some of their brand's momentum."
'They Could Have Used Debian'
Of course, "in the case of Cinnarch, the group has chosen to change their default desktop environment to GNOME and to offer alternatives of Xfce, KDE, Cinnamon and Razor-qt," Pogson pointed out.
"I don't see a compelling reason to rename the OS because of a change like that to the installer," he added. "It's still based on Arch GNU/Linux... They could have called the new release Cinnarch II or New Cinnarch or Cinnarch with Choice... or they could have used Debian GNU/Linux, as I do."
In fact, "Debian has more than enough choice for everyone doing anything," Pogson opined.
"At least this 'new' one has various DEs to let the users choose and not be chained to a group of developers," Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C. chimed in. "These days I advocate for new users only distros with more than five years and no 'commercial' changes in view."
'Resistant to Change'
Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien wasn't surprised by the move, he told Linux Girl.
"When KDE 4.0 came out, a lot of people got pissed and found ways to perpetuate the 3.5 version," he explained. "Flash forward to 2013, and only a handful of folks even care about that; KDE 4 is doing just fine."
The GNOME Project "has done some good stuff in GNOME 3," O'Brien asserted. "Comparatively few people are working on the GNOME 2 forks."
Looking ahead, "I think eventually we'll see only a handful of folks sticking to the old," he predicted. "FOSS people are notoriously resistant to change, but when they have exhausted the alternatives they get with it."
'The More the Merrier'
As a fan of both Arch and GNOME, Google+ blogger Brett Legree was particularly interested in the news.
"I love the name that was chosen, Antergos, as it has a special meaning to the team and definitely stands out," Legree told Linux Girl. "I did not know what it meant, and I had to go find out immediately."
Meanwhile, "I have already been testing via virtualization, and so far, I really like it since it gives me just what I want (a rolling release GNOME distro) and very little cruft," he concluded. "With Linux, the more the merrier."
'Of Little Significance'
Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor, wasn't sure how to react to the news.
"A distribution I never heard of has changed its default desktop, stopped supporting Cinnamon (though it is still included) and changed its name," he explained. "To me, it really is of little significance. No offense meant to the development team -- I am sure it is a fine distribution -- it is just that it is floating in a sea of fine distributions."
A lot has changed in the past 10 years, Lim pointed out.
"Ten years ago I had Red Hat, OpenOffice and Gimp, and with those I could day goodbye to Windows -- at least until I moved onto a laptop," he explained. "Now I could have Antergos, LibreOffice and Gimp.
"Still, I only use Linux desktop distributions on devices that spend their life on a wall socket," Lim added. "Ten years, and power management is not as good as on Windows or Mac OS X."
In any case, "the playing field has evolved," he concluded. "Basically, you can mix and match a Linux-based distribution all you want."
'Who Cares?'
Last but not least, Slashdot blogger hairyfeet had trouble getting excited.
"Who cares?" hairyfeet asked. "People make fun of Android for being fragmented, but geez, how many fricking Linux distros are we up to now? 300? 400? I am willing to bet my last dollar you could fit every single user of this distro in your average auditorium with a ton of seats left over.
"C'mon guys, there really is no need for this," he added. "All you are doing is re-inventing the wheel, and what is worse, you are hurting the ecosystem by spreading what little resources Linux has waaay too thin."
'The Same Old Problems'
Instead of "wasting countless man hours re-inventing the wheel," the community could have "invested that time in places where Linux could really use the help, like drivers, bug fixing, documentation, regression testing, quality assurance," hairyfeet suggested. "It's not like there aren't plenty of jobs that need doing."
Instead, distros like Antergos remind hairyfeet of "the way guys would make 'Doom mods' that were just slapping a new texture on the models and calling that a new game," he said.
"All you are really doing is slapping a new coat of paint on the same old problems instead of doing something new and innovative," hairyfeet concluded. "If at the end of the day all you can say to describe it is 'it's (insert Linux base) with (insert DE),' then frankly the thing doesn't even need to exist, it really doesn't."

The Statler Brothers
The Statler Brothers (sometimes simply referred to The Statlers) were an American country music, gospel, and vocal group. The quartet was formed in 1955 performing locally and, in 1964, they began singing backup for Johnny Cash until 1972.

|Country, gospel, southern gospel, pop standards
|Years active
|Columbia, Mercury, Music Box, Yell
|Associated acts
|Johnny Cash, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Blackwood Brothers, Crystal Gayle, Dailey & Vincent, Wilson Fairchild
|Past members
Originally performing gospel music at local churches, the group billed themselves as The Four Star Quartet, and later The Kingsmen.[1] In 1963, when the song "Louie, Louie" by the garage rock band also called The Kingsmen became famous, the group elected to bill themselves as The Statler Brothers. Despite the name, only two members of the group (Don and Harold Reid) are actual brothers and none has the surname of Statler. The band, in fact, named themselves after a brand of facial tissue they had noticed in a hotel room (they joked that they could have turned out to be the Kleenex Brothers).[2] Don Reid sang lead; Harold Reid, Don's older brother, sang bass; Phil Balsley sang baritone; and Lew DeWitt sang tenor and was the guitarist of the Statlers before being replaced by Jimmy Fortune in 1983 due to DeWitt's ill health.[3] DeWitt continued to perform as a solo artist until his death on August 15, 1990, from heart and kidney disease.[4]
The band's style was closely linked to their gospel roots. "We took gospel harmonies," said Harold Reid, "and put them over in country music."[1]
The group remained closely tied to their gospel roots, with a majority of their records containing at least one gospel song. They produced several albums containing only gospel music and recorded a tribute song to the Blackwood Brothers, who influenced their music. The song "We Got Paid by Cash" was written by the Statler Brothers as a tribute to Johnny Cash, who discovered and mentored them.[1]
Very early on in the group's history, before the group named themselves "The Statler Brothers", Joe McDorman was their original lead singer.[5]
The Statler Brothers started their career at a performance at Lyndhurst Methodist Church near their hometown of Staunton, Virginia.[1] In 1964, they started to become Johnny Cash's backing vocal for an 8 1⁄2-year run as his opening act.[2] This period of their career was memorialized in their song "We Got Paid by Cash". They were featured regularly on Cash's hit show The Johnny Cash Show on ABC. The show ran from 1969–1971. Due to their expanding career, the Statlers left Cash's entourage around the mid-1970s to pursue their own careers. They left Cash on good terms.
Two of their best-known songs are "Flowers on the Wall", their first major hit that was composed and written by Lew DeWitt, and the socially conscious "Bed of Rose's". In the 1980s, the Statlers were a mainstay on The Nashville Network (TNN), where their videos were shown regularly. Also on TNN, between 1991 and 1998, they hosted their own show, The Statler Brothers Show, a weekly variety show which was the channel's top-rated program for its entire run.[6][7] Their songs have been featured on several film soundtracks and also in the famous video game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. These range from "Charlotte's Web" in Smokey and the Bandit II, to "Flowers on the Wall" in the crime dramedy Pulp Fiction. In the video game of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, their songs "Bed of Roses" and "New York City" are heard and played in a country music radio station in the game called "K-Rose".
Throughout their career, much of their appeal was related to their incorporation of comedy and parody into their musical act, thanks in large part to the humorous talent of group member Harold Reid; they were frequently nominated for awards for their comedy as well as their singing. They recorded two comedy albums as Lester "Roadhog" Moran and the Cadillac Cowboys, and one-half of one side of the album Country Music Then and Now was devoted to satirizing small-town radio stations' Saturday morning shows.
They earned the number one spot on the Billboard chart four times: for "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine?" in 1978; "Elizabeth" in 1984; and in 1985, "My Only Love" and "Too Much on My Heart".[8]
Since forming, the Statler Brothers have released over 40 albums.[9]
The Statler Brothers purchased and renovated their former elementary school in Staunton, and occupied the complex for several years. The complex consisted of offices for the group, a small museum and auditorium, as well as an adjacent building which served as office space for unrelated businesses. A garage was built to store the two tour buses that the group had used for many years. The group has since sold the building, which has been converted back into a school.[citation needed]
In 1970, the group began performing at an annual Independence Day festival in Gypsy Hill Park in Staunton. The event, known as "Happy Birthday USA", lasted for 25 years and included many country music figures, including Mel Tillis, Charley Pride and many others. The event drew as many as 100,000 fans each year. The group also honored their hometown with the song "Staunton, Virginia" on their 1973 album Do You Love Me Tonight.

The group disbanded and retired after completing a farewell tour on October 26, 2002. Balsley and the Reid brothers continue to reside in Staunton, while Fortune relocated to Nashville, where he is continuing his music career as a solo artist. He has released three albums as a soloist. The Statlers remain one of the most awarded acts in the history of country music.[15]
Since the Statlers' retirement in 2002, Don Reid has pursued a second career as an author. He authored or co-authored three books: Heroes and Outlaws of the Bible, Sunday Morning Memories, and You'll Know It's Christmas When . . . He and brother Harold co-wrote a history of the Statler Brothers titled Random Memories released in February 2008.
Grandstaff/Wilson FairchildEdit
Wil and Langdon Reid, the sons of Harold and Don respectively, formed a duo in the 1990s, originally performing under the name Grandstaff. In 2007, Grandstaff recorded "The Statler Brothers Song", a tribute song to the Statler Brothers.
In an interview on Nashville's WSM (AM) on March 25, 2010, Wil Reid said that they decided to change their name to Wilson Fairchild after many people got the name "Grandstaff" wrong during introductions. The name comes from "Wilson", Wil's middle name, and "Fairchild", Langdon's middle name.
Sisters Kim and Karmen Reid (daughters of Harold) also enjoyed a brief stint as a country duo in the early 1980s.
The Statler Brothers have been credited as the first country music act to transfer the genre's nostalgia from a rural to a suburban setting.[8] They have also been called "America's Poets" by Kurt Vonnegut.[16] The bluegrass duo Dailey & Vincent often performs with two other members of their band as a quartet in the style of the Statlers, often performing many of the Statlers' hits in their shows. Jimmy Fortune also sometimes tours with Dailey & Vincent.

Designed to be durable, the Intensive RoadTubeless is one tire that can handle any road conditions. At about 90 psi, or slightly less, the tire conforms to rough roads, providing the comfort of a tubular without the hassle of glue or drag of excessive rolling resistance. The tire is available only in a 25mm width—its egg-shaped profile makes it look narrower than that—but it still has a strong grip on the road when weighted. With the help of textured chevrons on the shoulders, it provides impressive traction in turns, especially in wet conditions. The tread's bald center is reinforced with thermoplastic, which helps the tires spin up to speed quickly. The Intensive's overall durability, thanks to a Kevlar-Hardskin layer under the tread, makes it a good choice for riders who frequently ride roads that are either unpaved or overdue for a fresh coat of asphalt.—Mike Yozell

US companies should avoid doing business with China's two leading technology firms because they pose a national security threat to the US, the US House of Representatives' Intelligence Committee is warning in a report to be issued yesterday.
The panel says US regulators should block mergers and acquisitions in the US by Huawei Technologies and ZTE Corp, among the world's leading suppliers of telecommunications gear and mobile phones.
Reflecting US concern over cyberattacks traced to China, the report also recommends that US government computer systems not include any components from the two firms because that could pose an espionage risk.
"China has the means, opportunity and motive to use telecommunications companies for malicious purposes," the report says.
The recommendations are the result of a year-long probe, including a congressional hearing last month in which senior Chinese executives of both companies testified, and denied posing a security threat.
A US executive of one of the companies said the firm cooperated with investigators, and defended its business record.
Huawei is a "globally trusted and respected company," Huawei vice president for external affairs William Plummer said.
Yesterday, ahead of the report's release, a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman said investment by China's telecommunications companies in the US showed the countries have mutually beneficial relations.
"We hope the US will do more to benefit the interests of the two countries, not the opposite," ministry spokesman Hong Lei (洪磊) said at a regular briefing.
The bipartisan report is likely to become fodder for a presidential campaign in which the candidates have been competing in their readiness to clamp down on Chinese trade violations. Republican US presidential candidate Mitt Romney, in particular, has made it a key point to get tougher on China by designating it a currency manipulator and fighting abuses.
The committee made the draft available to reporters in advance of public release, but only under the condition that they not publish stories until the broadcast on Sunday of a CBS 60 Minutes report on Huawei.
In the CBS report, the committee's chairman, US Representative Mike Rogers, a Republican, urges US companies not to do business with Huawei.
The panel's recommendations will likely hamper Huawei and ZTE's ambitions to expand their business in the US. Their products are used in scores of countries, including in the West. Both deny being influenced by Beijing.
"The investigation concludes that the risks associated with Huawei's and ZTE's provision of equipment to US critical infrastructure could undermine core US national-security interests," the report says.
The report says the committee received information from industry experts and current and former Huawei employees suggesting that Huawei, in particular, may be violating US laws. It says that the committee will refer the allegations to the US government for further review and possible investigation. The report mentions allegations of immigration violations, bribery and corruption, and of a "pattern and practice" of Huawei using pirated software in its US facilities.

Dear AHT: Ritzy's in Owensboro, Kentucky
Recommendations, reviews, and more from the AHT inbox.
Here's a recommendation we recently received in the AHT inbox. You can drop us a line at [email protected].
I recently stumbled across A Hamburger Today, and have been greatly entertained since. I'm not as technical a burger lover as your reviewers, but I know I love burgers. I'm from Owensboro, KY, and one of my favorite burger restaurants is a place called Ritzy's. The restaurant is a smaller franchise and it serves smashburgers like Steak n' Shake. I'm at college now, but Ritzy's is one place I always have to stop by when I'm at home.
I don't think Ritzy's are very widespread; I've only seen them in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. However, if one of your reviewers ever finds one, I suggest her or she try out one of Ritzy's burgers. I'm not a chili guy, but my family is and they have always enjoyed Ritzy's chili, too. In any case, my town has two Ritzy's and I feel like if Burger King and a place that only makes burgers on Mondays belong on AHT, Ritzy's is more than appropriate.
Best regards, Andrew Moore
Is anyone else a Ritzy's fan?

The source code that powers the user interface for popular social networking site Facebook was inadvertently exposed over the weekend due to a misconfigured Web server.
The source code, which was posted Saturday to a blog called Facebook Secrets, was still posted Monday on the blog.
A spokeswoman for Facebook said in a statement e-mailed to Computerworld that "a small fraction of the code that displays Facebook Web pages was exposed to a small number of users" because of a misconfigured Web server that was fixed "immediately."
The incident was not a security breach "and did not compromise user data in any way," the spokeswoman said. "Because the code that was released only powers the Facebook [user interface], it offers no useful insight into the inner workings of Facebook," she added.
However, Pete Lindstrom, a senior security analyst at Burton Group, said that anytime source code is accidentally revealed, "there is potential for an increase in risk." He added that when a company dismisses the security implications of such an incident, there likely really are security issues.
"There are enough folks out there trolling the Web sites and pull that code who will be perfectly happy to try to identify vulnerable areas that could be exploited," Lindstrom said. "If you're release source code to the wild, you're going to have some level of increased risk associated with it. I can't think of a case where you wouldn't."
Nik Cubrilovic, a developer and contributor to TechCrunch, which originally reported the source code leak, blogged that the code could be used by outsiders to better understand how the Facebook application works. With that knowledge, Cubrilovic said, those outsiders can find additional security holes or bugs.
"From just this single page of source code, a lot can be said and extrapolated about the rest of the Facebook application and platform," he wrote. "At a quick glance, I know that I can see some obvious things in the code that both reveal certain hidden aspects of the platform and give a potential attacker a good head start.
"[Facebook] will also need to take some very quick short-term measures to mitigate the risk to users since you can bet that right this minute there are hundreds of potential attackers pouring through the leaked code and probing their systems," he added.
This story, "Facebook Source Code Leaked to Internet" was originally published by Computerworld.

What's Wrong With the Knicks?
: Uncategorized : Written by Mike Kurylo : 11-09-2009
The New York Knicks have limped out to a 1-6 start, their worst since 2003 when they began the year 1-8. That season, they eventually finished 37-45, which would actually be an improvement for this team. So although history shows us that all is not lost, there are some issues the team must overcome to get back on track. Not to Three? The team's three point percentage of 30.3% is 57 points lower than last year's average, but that number isn't indicative of how bad New York's shooting has been. That percentage is inflated by Danilo Gallinari's sizzling 46.6%. The …continue reading

Two dozen new celebrities join the Alzheimer's Association Champion awareness campaign
Terrell Owens, Molly Sims, Wayne Brady featured as Alzheimer's Association Champions
Terrell Owens, Penny Marshall, Garry Marshall, Molly Sims, Wayne Brady, Leeza Gibbons, Anthony Anderson, John Glover, Lainie Kazan, Kathy Mattea, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Bryant Gumbel, Ahmad Rashad, and Emerson Drive have joined celebrities such as Dick Van Dyke, Vivica Fox, Olympia Dukakis, Natalie Morales, Phyllis George, Shelley Fabares, Peter Gallagher, Sarah Polley, Lea Thompson, Dominic Chianese Tracie Toms, Victor Garber, Ricki Lake, Steven Pasquale, Diamond Jim (winner of the 2007 Westminster Dog Show), Kate Mulgrew, Jack Ford, David Hyde Pierce, Jean Smart, Brent Spiner, Kate Burton, Dear Abby and Bob Goen in the Alzheimer's Association campaign to educate the public about Alzheimer's disease.
These well-known personalities have lent their faces and voices to help the Alzheimer's Association challenge 5 million Americans – one for every American living with the disease – to learn about the disease and become an Alzheimer's Champion. The Alzheimer's Champions have been photographed by well-known celebrity and fashion photographer, Robert Trachtenberg, in purple T-shirts featuring motivational "action" words describing how the public can get involved in the Alzheimer's cause.
"Alzheimer's is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States," said Terrell Owens, Alzheimer's Association Champion spokesman. "Alzheimer's has affected my own family, so I understand first-hand the impact of this disease. I am proud to support the Alzheimer's Association as they educate people on the realities of Alzheimer's disease so we can inspire enough support to stop it."
Become an Alzheimer's Champion:
- ACT now to end Alzheimer's, learn about the disease and get involved in the fight
- VOICE your support by becoming an advocate, help spread the word about the disease, tell your story
- MOVE the Alzheimer's Association's cause forward by joining a Memory Walk or volunteering at a local chapter
- OPEN your mind and learn the facts about Alzheimer's, donate to the Association
Alzheimer's: An escalating epidemicFigures released last month in the Alzheimer's Association 2008 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report show that 10 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer's. The disease is posed to strike one out of eight baby boomers. Experts predict by 2010, there will be almost half a million new cases of Alzheimer's disease a year; and by 2050, there will be almost a million new cases each year. According to the Alzheimer's Association, now is the time people need to address this looming health crisis that currently has no effective disease-modifying treatments that halt or delay the progression of the disease.
Alzheimer's is not an old person's disease. While age is the greatest risk factor, there are currently between 200,000-500,000 people under age 65 living with young-onset Alzheimer's disease or other dementia.
In 2007, there were nearly 10 million Americans age 18 and over providing 8.5 billion hours of unpaid care to people with Alzheimer's disease valued at $90 billion, four times more than what Medicaid pays for nursing home care for people with Alzheimer's disease. In addition to this figure, 250,000 children age 8-18 years old are providing care to loved ones with Alzheimer's.
Hope on the horizon
There are new treatments on the horizon – currently several drugs are in Phase III clinical trials, many show great promise at slowing or stopping the progression of Alzheimer's. This, combined with new diagnostic tools, has the potential to change the landscape significantly, but the Alzheimer's Association needs the public to get involved: to spread the word about Alzheimer's, to advocate that Alzheimer's becomes a national healthcare priority with elected officials, to raise funds to support Alzheimer's research and care services; and to become an Alzheimer's Champion. To learn more about Alzheimer's and become a Champion, visit www.alz.org.
The Alzheimer's Association
The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Our mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer's. For more information, visit www.alz.org.
* The Alzheimer's Association poll was conducted to measure knowledge and attitudes about Alzheimer's disease. The survey was conducted online with a random sample of 1,232 men and women aged 18+ all members of the CyberPluseTM Advisory Panel. The Advisory Panel has been carefully selected to closely match US Population demographics. Research was conducted in February 2007. The overall sampling error for this survey is +/- 3% at the 95% confidence level.

The Serbian village of Gracanica is located just 10km from Pristina. The turn of events in 1999 had transformed Gracanica from a sleepy village into an administrative center servicing the 75,000 Kosovo Serbs who live south of the Ibar River. International banks, Internet cafes and outlets of Serbian government institutions are located amidst the traditional farmhouses, geese and pigs. It gives Gracanica the feel of a semi- urban center dislocated into a rural community.
Many of its 13,000 inhabitants are urban Serbs who have been displaced from their apartments in Pristina. Zivojin Rakocevic, editor-in-chief of KIM radio, a Serb language radio station, is one of them. "We simulate the capital here …in the middle of fields'.
Gracanica is most famous for its monastery, fenced behind barbed wire and guarded by Swedish troops. The monastery church is an endowment of King Milutin. Under his reign (1284-1321), the Serbian kingdom stretched to the Adriatic coast with Skopje as its capital. The exceptionally well-preserved 14th century frescoes are great examples of Byzantine-inspired art. Attributed to Byzantine painters from the Thessaloniki school, they feature biblical scenes, the family tree of the Nemanji family and portraits of archbishops and patriarchs. In 1539, as a center of monastic learning, Gracanica had one of the first printing presses in Serbia. In 2002, an application was submitted for recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

...faux fiction is that album blasting from behind the closed door of your older cousin's room in the city on the day you visit from the sticks. his room is 100 percent off limits, but even hearing the music through the walls is exciting. you can't wait to get your hands on a copy of your own. turn it up loud in the car with the windows down. cruising along with the bold rhythmic and sonic brushstrokes resonating through each song.
...metaphorically speaking, estocar's fifth studio album, picks up the groove right from the start as the snare drum kicks in followed quickly by electric guitar. the energy is quick and rolls out into a galloping groove in the first few measures. this first cut 'painted black enamel' is fitting as it is reminiscent of the garage rock roots estocar has explored in the past while also giving a glimpse of how the tones and structures will be expanded. the lyrics 'observations from the beautiful mess you just so happen to be in...painted black enamel' gives the sense of the difficulties life can bring, but even if it is a mess and black, well it still shines like enamel over that. from there comes the funk as 'static fever' launches like a space craft out of a sci fi flick. lanceH and charlotteO tangle their vocals through this groovey little indie rock number mixed with funky keyboard and splashing cymbal crashes. the album is off and racing through fireflies, twilight, burning cities, flames, and screen doors. the songs have a jovial feeling that comes across as the band really enjoying making music together. the step is light and you can imagine them grooving while capturing their musical conversation. throughout the arrangement is sparse but creative deploying subtle nuances without relying on studio tricks. these songs bring you to the dance floor in a sweaty small club in a crowd full of people having fun bobbing up and down. 'beverly glen' is another song worth noting as every sound seems to be a part of the rhythm. rushing forward like a wave as it crashes to shore and gives us a slight pause...before the drums arrive to rachet it back up with 'n.m.'s eulogy' a snappy little number with punk auctioneer and doo wop vocals summing up the peculiar nature of patriotism and self. metaphorically speaking manages to crest again with the sweeping simple folk song 'word sure' climbing and climbing in the smoldering groove. bam the 70's disco groove is ratcheted up to break neck speed and the band races toward the finish then a slammed door, and you know estocar has put a line in the sand and then promptly stepped over it looking toward the future...'throwin' eyeballs, throwin' eyeballs, throwin' eyyyyyye baaalllls!
...tugging at the abstract notions worn on the everyman's sleeve. giraffe riot bolts thru the angles of shifty brain rock...careeming off obstacle to obstacle. a stampede of songs yelling out the observations of forward motion. a circus barker delivering a garage rock band through the acrobatic show. 'soupcan telephone operator' is a fine example of the nerve this album tries to strike...voice after voice played out before the words even begin to form. sound tracks of places where the microphone tuned in. found sounds breaking into the clever atmosphere of a twisted folk tune. a clawing crescendo of questions posed in the way of answers. 'wobbly arrow' steps in with a scattered groove that steers itself by the skin of it's teeth all the way to the finish line...perfect sounds teetering in and out...a pulsing indie rock dance number. it leads further into an album that continues to escalate the vibe...'mr.e' shreads, 'wittle' dives on, and 'truss' uses all the twists and turns to clamber it to the brink. the sounds continue to please as 'nacimiento' is a replenishing truck stop off the highway, a place to put chains on in order to drive thru the pass. on the other side giraffe riot continues to roll on until it explores every nook and cranny along the parade route...the final destination is reached in 'circle the wagons' revisiting the daylight, bringing back to a head..the other end of the ribbon. an oragami bow tie start to finish.
...in late October of 2003, five inches of rain fell in such a short time span in seattle, that lance found his new album's basic guitar and drum tracks in serious danger of become a part of the flotsam jetsam of a quickly flooding basement. a bucket brigade was formed though, and with science tips picked up from zoom, the water was held at bay...the salvaged tunes were brought up to the main floor to be finished in dryer confines, but in the light of day it was evident that these were songs meant for a band sweating them out in one room live, not how the past albums had been built around a sole guitar...estocar's first release as a garage rock trio would hit the pavement two years later...some of those original songs rescued from the oncoming waters in the basement of the nougat house would survive...songs like 'invisible mayan', a full throttle indie folk punk anthem, 'blue heron', a bipolar art rock number, and 'capable+1', hippie metal groove rock at it's finest...those songs and other songs on garage philosophy capture the true spirit of a solid rock trio unleashing a racous sound that could only be realized within the confines of their own rehearsal space. self recorded and self released this album delivers the essence and urgency of a band completely at ease with it's underground stature...a raw intimate look into estocar's earlier psyche.
...pawn e5, king's knight c6, pawn a6...from the opening lyrics of the poet's blindspot, one can tell that this will be an album with intentions of seeing a game thru. an album truly taking form in the studio...from layered vocals, door slams, kitchen knifes tapping on linoleum, popcorn being poured into glass bowls, beer cans being crushed, sounds amped and reamped, drum tracks made from found objects, and even horn players brought in to add that true experimental texture that these four songs would coagulate into. strange birds meant to clear the palate, act as a sorbet for the upcoming entree. one where all the stops are pulled out. like a kid who just learned how to play with matches and has found a stash of them...each song strikes another and another until every match in the box is ignited and used as fuel to the fire for these intuitive soundscapes. this ep stretches out estocar's feathers, goes overboard and climbs ashore in order that no stone is left unturned...
...as estocar's first release eludes to in it's title, there are plenty of moments of idling buses, rumbling semi-trucks, revving motorcyles, passing cars, ambulance sirens, and even the voices of a steady stream of pedestrians wafting into the small crowded room above street level where it was recorded...an array of folk songs given a psychedelic white washing, peppered with the happy accidents that create an album when the recording process becomes an instrument as well...'six degrees from seventh heaven' the opening track is a loping mellow folk number brought in by drum rolls as it gathers steam like a tumble weed in open field...'render' adds a more sinister side as the album twists and turns thru layered guitars and keyboards. traffic noises from north street in chicago poke their head thru now and then as the album grows more rock oriented and full blown as wah wah guitars join the ruckus and drums add more drive. traffic noise continues to go down as many streets, avenues, nooks and crannies as a long commute...stretching out toward a foreboding blues folk number, 'atmospheric kettle', that explains the pit falls of finding oneself in hot water that continues to get hotter and hotter...traffic noise is a glimpse of the folk tunes in lance's head beginning to grow into numbers that will require a full fledged band...in the mean time it explores the freedom that can be found in the studio as sounds are piled up and around sturdy songs laid down on acoustic guitar.

It's been a while since I did a post on my work. This piece of work is a GIF and I've only experimented with creating these only on a few occasions. Though they look rather simple there is quite a lot of work involved! I made 'The Kiss 0.2' for a short project at uni (BA Photography at Southampton Solent University) to do with time. I was thinking of a few ideas and thought I'd revisit a shoot I did this Jan. 'Kiss Me Kay' (Jan 2011) are stills from a video I made. I was experimenting with time lapse and the subtle differences in each frame in a kiss, a simple act with so many expressions. For my current time project I wanted to have a slightly different twist but fundamentally have the same basis for the idea. This time I shot outside against a fountain background which was also on a time loop for when the water would shoot out. I also used a tripod so all the shots can be level. Thinking about when to shoot and wait for the fountain all involved calculating correct timing and using a very fast shutter. I shot on continuous shoot mode and as it was outside I could shoot at a fast shutter at a low ISO so more detail.
To create the image I first resized all the images to 600 pixel width and saved the images again using Fastzone Photo Resizer software I downloaded for free from the internet. This meant I had low risk of Photoshop CS2 crashing due to uploading a lot large images. I then edited the first photo and saved the actions I did to it to apply the action to other photos easily. I added contrast, a few colour filters, soft Gaussian blur and used the sharpen image filter. I opened all the photos I wanted to use one by one and replayed my 'The Kiss' action 26 times. Now all my images were ready to use. I then created a Photoshop document to create my gif. This involved opening all the edited images and simple placing the images on top of each other. I opened the 'animation' window, the tool to use to create gifs. I then selected all the layers and chose the option 'Make frames from layers' from the small arrow on the right of the 'animation' window. I then selected all the frames and chose 0.2 second delay from each frame to the next. To save as a gif I selected 'Save for Web' and chose GIF format, not JPEG.
Here's the image I created: Tell me what you think? Being relatively new at creating GIFs I'm quite happy how it turned out.

Hydrogen-Powered Ion Tiger Sets 26-hour Flight Endurance Record
The Naval Research Laboratory's Ion Tiger, a hydrogen-powered fuel cell unmanned air vehicle (UAV), has flown 26 hours and 1 minute carrying a 5-pound payload, setting another unofficial flight endurance record for a fuel-cell powered flight. The test flight took place on November 16th through 17th.
The electric fuel cell propulsion system onboard the Ion Tiger has the low noise and signature of a battery-powered UAV, while taking advantage of hydrogen, a high-energy fuel. Fuel cells create an electrical current when they convert hydrogen and oxygen into water and heat. The 550 Watt (0.75 horsepower) fuel cell onboard the Ion Tiger has about four times the efficiency of a comparable internal combustion engine and the system provides seven times the energy in the equivalent weight of batteries. The Ion Tiger weighs approximately 37 pounds and carries a 4- to 5-pound payload.
The Ion Tiger fuel cell system development team is led by NRL and includes Protonex Technology Corporation, HyperComp Engineering, and Arcturus UAV. The program is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research.
This latest flight test improves on Ion Tiger's previous unofficial flight endurance record of 23 hours and 17 minutes that took place on October 9th and 10th.
NRL has now demonstrated that PEM fuel cell technology can meet or surpass the performance of traditional power systems, providing reliable, quiet operation and extremely high efficiency. Next steps will focus on increasing the power of the fuel cell to 1.5 kW, or 2 HP, to enable tactical flights and extending flight times to 3 days while powering tactical payloads.

This dinner roll recipe was chewy and light on the inside with a crusty exterior. Yogurt gives this dinner roll recipe a bit of a tang and honey provides it with a subtle sweetness. To make the dinner roll recipe more cupcake fan friendly, I baked the rolls in cupcake tins. The rolls came out looking just like little bread cupcakes!
For kicks, you could "frost" them with some butter and jam!
The Dinner Roll Recipe
I got the dinner roll recipe from my Taste & Create partner this month, Robin at Hippo Flambe (is that not the coolest name for a blog?). Robin originally got the recipe from one of my favorite blogs, Baking Bites. I've reprinted the recipe here with my notes and the change to make them as cupcake rolls.
Dinner Roll Recipe
- 1 1/2 - 2 C whole wheat pastry flour I know it's uncool to say it, but I'm not a fan of whole wheat flour. I used entirely all-purpose flour for the rolls.
- 2 - 2 1/2 C all-purpose flour
- 1 T active dry yeast
- 3 T honey
- 1 C tepid water 105° - 115° F
- 1 C yogurt Robin used Greek style yogurt, as did I.
- 1 T extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 t salt
- If using both whole wheat and all-purpose flour, mix the two flours together in a bowl and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 1/2 cup flour (or flour mix), yeast, honey and tepid water.
- Stir well and let stand for 10 minutes, until bubbles form.
- With flat beater blade or a wooden spoon, stir in yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and 2 more cups of flour (or flour mix).
- Gradually mix in remaining flour until you have a soft dough that pulls from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn out onto a floured counter and knead by hand or use the dough hook attachment on an electric mixer. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or a towel and let rise until the dough doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.
- Spray cupcake tins with non-stick baking spray or coat with melted butter.
- Break off pieces of dough and roll into balls that fill each cupcake slot. The balls should almost fill each depression. Both Hippo Flambe and Baking Bites go into detail about how to make sure that each roll is exactly the same size. I don't really care about homemade things all being the same size. I like that people can choose whether they want a bigger one or a smaller one.
- Cover with a clean, damp dish towel and let rise for 25 minutes. After rising, mine looked like the photo above.
- Bake at 375 F for about 20 minutes, until rolls are a deep golden brown on the top.
- Break one open and dig in!
