Carlos Motta, Artist, On 'We Who Feel Differently' and Obama's Gay Marriage Stance
New Museum |
When it comes to discussing LGBT rights, multidisciplinary artist Carlos Motta has a lot to say on the matter. The Colombian-born artist draws upon "political history in an attempt to create counter narratives that recognize the inclusion of suppressed histories, communities, identities and ideologies" in his pieces. His work has been exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum, MOMA/PS1, Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, Museo de Arte del Banco de la República in Bogotá, among several others. His latest show "We Who Feel Differently," at the New Museum, explores the idea of sexual and gender "difference" within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, and queer community via a series of sculptures, prints, interactive forums, and a video installation based on 50 interviews with academics, artists, politicians, and researchers. Motta's mission isn't just about tolerance; rather, he looks ahead to a "concept of equality that provides for greater personal freedom."

Village Voice: What first sparked the idea behind "We Who Feel Differently?"
Carlos Motta: When I first started, I wanted to create an archive to document how different countries have been implementing policy and how that activism reflects in the culture and how it affects our lives, and the discrepancies. For example, there are some places in which the culture is very repressive but the legislation is very advanced or the other way around. So as I started interviewing people, I realized there was not one singular LGBT policy or idea, but that it was something much more complicated and much more fraught with nuances.
So I started to think about shifting the focus of this project and towards recuperating some of the discourses around gay and lesbian and trans rights that have gotten lost, and the new liberalizations and the sexual movements the rapid decline of this idea of sexual liberation in very radical terms that came to be in the late 1960s and '70s towards a much more moderate approach that is looking more towards assimilating to the already existing frameworks and institutions like marriage, the military -- just to speak of the United States, etc., as opposed to wanting to challenge a more systematic ways of the larger system.

It archives a wide spectrum of people's work and ideas from activists to medical doctors to academics and so on. At the same time, my weaving of this work trying to resurface the concept of difference -- hence the name, as opposed to the idea of equality, which is the dominant discourse of LGBT politics internationally today.
VV: In your show, you confront "difference" head on. The notion of celebrating the differences instead of fighting for equality can be seen as an extreme concept, and definitely not one you hear within the gay rights discourse
Motta: It's interesting you say that because during one of the symposiums, a few of our speakers were reflecting upon the title of this project and the word 'differently" as opposed to "different." And they were speaking on the idea of feeling "differently' and the 'l-y' as the political dimension of that feeling. So, in other words, I do not just feel different but differently, and implying that there is some kind of political poster to that position. And that is something that I really feel strongly about.
When I was constructing this project, one of the things that was really important to me was thinking beyond individual identity politics. Beyond sitting here and confessing to my sister, my friend, or my mother that I am gay, and that is who I am, and you have to tolerate me. Like this kind of 'please accept me' as opposed to saying 'you know what, I can see the world in a way that you can't, and the way that I see it is actually really great so you should come on the ride with me.'
New Museum |
VV: Aside from the informative aspect of this project, explain the style and overall look of the show.
Motta: The aesthetic component to the show is the entry point to it, and the people have responded to it really, really, well. It's a welcoming space. It is a space that invites them to spend time here. I have been receiving emails from people who have spend two or three hours here watching the videos.
VV: This exhibition also features a few large scale illustrated portraits featuring a couple of recognizable figures from the Mexican board game La Loteria.
Motta: They are emblems of the project. They are very reductive in a sense, but in a positive way. What I wanted to do was kind of collapse the different things that are discussed in the project. Like the one of the androgynous figure. You would perhaps respond to this as a 'she' but it could also be a 'he.' And if you notice it has one exposed breast, but the other breast that is exposed is actually flat. And it also has some sort of a bulge but it also [wears] a very soft drape falling over its body. So I wanted to suggest this non- normative, non-dichotomous figures.
The 'Hand' [illustration] from La Loteria has been queered. I don't know if you noticed this, but in the bottom of the suit is a little heart. I wanted to imply this idea of motive, or sexual citizenship. Because the 'Hand,' even in the context of La Loteria it implies a presence of citizenship.
VV: Thoughts on President Barack Obama's approval of gay marriage?
Motta: I think have too many comments.
VV: For example?
Motta: I don't want to be too confrontational
VV: Please, by all means, it's the Voice!
Motta: I feel that while it is a milestone in the history of the world because the United States being such a strong hegemonic power, to have a head of state such as Obama support the idea of gay inclusion to the existing systems. So I do think that is something very rare that should be celebrated. Now, of course, things are not that simple. So I think Obama's advisers are very much part of the mainstream -- very politically savvy, strategizing the discourse on LGBT rights. The discourse that promotes this idea of equality based on what queer theorists would call 'An Assimilationist Discourse.' It is the idea that we, LGB, really just LGB because T in this discourse is very different, that we LGB are the same as you, we feel just like you, and hence we deserve the same rights.
Obama's political discourse is very much influenced by that logic. And while I find that to be somewhat positive at the same time I feel that it's very troubling and very problematic, because what he is promoting, kind of hiding behind this idea of equality, is that there isn't such a thing as equality. Because in order for you to be granted the rights that any human being should have despite of their sexual gender, identity, or orientation, is that you can only be granted those rights if you conform to the existing norms that determine the way that we are supposed to be understood as citizens. And this is what I was troubled by, that you have to be monogamous, and you have to be committed. He said something like 'I've been noticing that my friends can be monogamous and committed.' And hence 'should be allowed to marry'. So it's a very hetero-normative way of thinking of relationships, and I find that very troubling.
It is a discourse that gives predominantly a focus on marriage as a singular and most important issue of gay rights, which is to some, but it is disproportionately prioritized.
So, we live in a country in which millions of dollars are given to organizations that are fighting to achieve equality of rights that iare marriage and inclusion in the military. But we also live in a country in which HIV research is stalled in many ways; in which minorities of color, or immigrant queer minorities don't have access to any rights whatsoever; imprisoned minorities continue to be relegated, discriminated within the prison system.
So, that is to say, the focus of the movement is servicing a very elitist movement, and I think that is very troubling. Of course I cannot expect, one day to the other, the President of the United States to come out and advocate for the rights of every black, trans, women of color in the prisons, though I would expect my President to, you know, support [these causes]...so that's something that is not easy. It's a very troubling position. So yes, thumbs up in some cases, but no, thumbs down in other ways to that discourse.

CHICAGO (AP) —D.J. Augustin scored 24 points, Taj Gibson added 17, and the Chicago Bulls rallied from 18 down to beat the Detroit Pistons 106-98 for their seventh straight win on Friday night.
Carlos Boozer finished with 18 points. Mike Dunleavy Jr. scored all of his 14 in the second half, and the Bullskept their longest win streak of the season going.
They moved a game ahead of Atlantic Division leader Toronto for third in the Eastern Conference, with the Raptors losing to the New York Knicks. The Bulls also clinched home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs with Brooklyn falling to Atlanta.
They trailed by 56-38 at the half after getting dominated inside by Andre Drummond but turned things around in a big way after that.
Chicago outscored Detroit 32-24 in the third quarter to pull within 10 and went on a 15-0 run in the fourth to turn an eight-point deficit into a 90-83 edge. The Bulls then hung on in the closing minutes for their 35th win since Jan. 1 — tops in the Eastern Conference.
They pulled this one out even though they got dominated by Drummond, who scored 26 and tied a career-high with 26 rebounds.
Rodney Stuckey scored 22 points and Brandon Jennings added 17 but the Pistons lost for the 18th time in 20 road games.
Detroit was leading 83-75 with just over 10 minutes left in the game when Gibson, who scored 11 in the fourth quarter, hit two free throws to start the decisive rally.
Augustin then nailed back-to-back jumpers to make it a two-point game, and after committing a charge, he tied it at 83 when he hit two free throws with 8:10 left.
Jimmy Butler then put the Bulls ahead with a layup after Jonas Jerebko missed a 3 for Detroit, and Chicago continued to add to it.
A three-point play by Gibson, who landed near the photographers along the baseline, and two more free throws by Augustin put the Bulls up 90-83 with 6:14 remaining.
Peyton Siva answered with a 3 for Detroit, but the Bulls stayed in control after that.
Chicago's Joakim Noah had six points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, giving him 408 on the season and putting him in some elite company. He became the ninth player in NBA history — and third with Chicago — with at least 400 assists and 100 blocks in a season, joining Kevin Garnett (six times), Sam Lacey (three times), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (twice), Alex English, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Alvan Adams and Dwyane Wade.
NOTES: The Bulls finish out the regular season with games at New York on Sunday, at home against Orlando on Monday and at Charlotte on Wednesday. … Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau on the Bulls signing Mike James, Lou Amundson and Ronnie Brewer, who had played for them in the past: "It gives you more depth for practice, energy, insurance if you take on an injury. And the fact that they've been here before, we think is a plus." … Pistons F Josh Smith missed his third straight game because of tendinitis in his left knee.

CHERRY POINT, N.C. - At Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, arresting gear isn't sirens and handcuffs. It's a cable system used to bring fast moving jets to a stop in the event of an emergency landing or need for a short landing space.
To ensure the speed impeding safety system is always in a state of readiness Marines with station recovery maintain and operate the E28 Emergency Arresting Gears on the flight line here daily.
As an aircraft, such as an AV-8B Harrier, comes in for an arrested landing, the tail hook, fixed underneath the tail of the plane, catches on a metal woven cable that sits about five inches above the ground, explained Sgt. Chris D. Bentley, maintenance chief for station recovery. Once caught on the cable, it takes an aircraft about 10 seconds or 2,000 feet to stop.
"These arrest points are designed to act like the landing cable on an aircraft carrier," said Bentley. "This process takes a lot from us as maintainers."
The gears use an engine to operate just like a car with several moving parts, all needing regular maintenance, said Bentley.
"We provide the pilots peace of mind while they are flying," said Lance Cpl. Minh D. Nguyen, a crewman with station recovery. "They know that if their aircraft fails we have the gear to help them land safely.''
Keeping Marines safe is paramount, and Sgt. Maj. Holly Prafke, sergeant major for Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, said the job done by the station recovery Marines has affected her on a personal level.
"While I was the sergeant major for Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 3, we had a number of pilots and aircraft use the arresting gear," she said. "These Marines do their job and get very little recognition for what they do."
The recovery of the aircraft is important, but what is more important is the safety of the crew on board, said Prafke.
"I have seen firsthand what this equipment is capable of and I am very proud of these Marines," she said.

Yanks Fans Should Root For Doc To Stick A Fork In A-Rod
If Alex Rodriguez is deemed unfit to play, then he still gets paid – but, the Yankees then also save seventy cents on the dollar and get him off the roster. Sounds like a good deal, all-around, no? Via Ken Rosenthal -
[Alex] Rodriguez, 37, is not going to retire, not when he is owed $114 million in the final five years of his contract. But now that he is facing a second hip surgery, it's not out of the question that doctors eventually might determine that he is physically unable to perform.
At that point, Rodriguez still would be paid the remainder of his contract, but the Yankees would collect insurance – more than 70 percent of his salary, according to a source with knowledge of how such policies work.
Maybe it's early for such a doomsday scenario. But at this point, what are the odds of Rodriguez completing the final five years of his contract, the odds that he still will be playing at age 42?
Rodriguez will undergo surgery in January to repair a torn labrum, bone impingement and cyst in his left hip, the Yankees announced Monday.
The team's official release said that he will miss four to six months, a time frame that will sideline him until at least May and possibly July.
Rodriguez, a fanatical worker, surely will attempt to make a strong and rapid recovery; he did just that after undergoing surgery on his right hip in March 2009, and helped lead the Yankees to the World Series.
This surgery, however, will be more extensive than his previous one, requiring a longer recovery time. Rodriguez also is at a stage in his career when he already is in decline.
Carlos Delgado never played again after undergoing two surgeries on the same hip in a span of nine months when he was 37. And remember, Rodriguez's right hip was not fully corrected in '09. He originally was supposed to undergo a second surgery at the end of that season.
Check out opinion, analysis, interviews and more from around baseball at MLB Video Central."The surgery that will just repair the labrum tear right now would shorten his rehab," Cashman said then. "Then, following the conclusion of the season, going in and repair the remaining aspects that need to be repaired."
Rodriguez avoided that surgery by strengthening his hip. It's possible that he will return with both hips stronger than ever before. But even then, he might not escape further problems.
His gait might change due to his hip surgeries, leading to other injuries. And no one knows the exact toll that his acknowledged use of performance-enhancing drugs has exacted on his body.
Cashman has acknowledged that Rodriguez is unlikely to regain his past glory, the questions surrounding A-Rod's career are now more fundamental.

Consumer advocates say Covered California is on the right track to making sure health coverage is available starting in January.
But Anthony Wright of Health Access says even after open enrollment starts next month, aspects of the new marketplace will still be in development.
"Just like any app, we expect to see you know, multiple versions, and improvements as times goes forward, a 2.0, a 3.0 a 4.0," says Wright.
Covered California is still tinkering with the functionality of its web portal. In-person enrollment assisters are still being trained, and marketing has barely begun.
But Wright says what's most important is that people have the information they need about the changes that start next year.
"People are making decisions about what careers they're starting out in. Whether they should retire early, everything from marriage to jobs is impacted by whether you can access health coverage," says Wright.
A 'shop and compare' tool as well as a health insurance 'cost calculator' are available now on the Covered California website.

Susette Kelo and her neighbors' land was taken in New London, Connecticut as part of a redevelopment plan to allow Pfizer to expand their offices. But Pfizer has now announced that not only are they not expanding their offices, they are closing up shop in New London. The Hartford Courant reports:
Pfizer Inc. will shut down its massive New London research and development headquarters and transfer most of the 1,400 people working there to Groton, the pharmaceutical giant said Monday.
The move comes in the wake of Pfizer's recent merger with Wyeth, and is part of a global consolidation of the two companies' research operations. Groton will be the biggest of the company's five major global research sites, the company said. The move from New London to Groton will take place over the next two years.
Not only is Susette Kelo and her neighbors' land vacant today, Pfizer is leaving. Nice work New London. A couple months ago my wife and I stopped by New London and took some pictures. Here's what the view from Susette Kelo's house looks like today:

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — China is on a charm offensive in Eastern Europe, an attempt to secure business ties in a region where the European Union and Russia are increasingly jostling for influence.
Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang, trailed by a cohort of 300 corporate executives, met the leaders of 16 countries in Bucharest, Romania, on Tuesday.
Analysts say the Asian economic power is interested in energy and raw materials to fuel its economy and in cheap labor at a time when wages are rising at home. Coupled with a strengthening national currency, China's growing labor costs risk crimping its exports, its traditional economic strength.
"Our cooperation has political and economic significance. The onus is upon us to translate the blue print into reality," Li said after the meeting.
Closer ties would bring "massive investments and will lead to a growth in trade," Li said, adding China was interested in investing in infrastructure, renewable energy and agriculture.
The timing of Li's visit is significant, coming just two days before the EU is due to sign economic and political partnership deals with several countries in the region.
The 16 European countries at the summit all share a former Soviet communist past. But today, they are a varied group. Some, like Romania, Poland and Hungary, are part of the EU. Others, like Serbia, would like to join the EU but are still influenced by Russia, the region's long-time dominant power.
With Western Europe struggling with economic growth and Russia accused of bullying governments in the region, some of the countries have been looking farther away for commercial deals.
"Everyone is looking for investment and financing commitments from China," said Timothy Ash, an analyst from Standard Bank in London. "The Chinese want trade access and are particularly interested in the agricultural sectors in the region."
For China, establishing stronger relations now could provide it with a gateway to markets in the EU, the world's largest economic bloc.
"The world has changed and will no longer be as it was before the crisis," Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said at the summit. "China will have a decisive role in this new world."
Li reiterated China's offer of a $10 billion credit line for countries in Eastern Europe, a pledge first made last year in Poland and received with some skepticism by analysts, who say the real impact will be in trade and investment over the longer-term.
So far, trade volumes between China and the region are modest, but growing.
Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania together imported goods from China totaling 31 billion euros ($42 billion) in 2012, while their exports to China last year reached just 4.5 billion euros ($6 billion). In the first eight months of 2013, Hungary's exports grew almost 14 percent.
China's relations with the region were generally strong during the communist era. And apart from the occasional rows over meetings with the Dalai Lama and crackdowns on Chinese immigrants, Eastern European countries are less critical of China's human rights record. Both tend to prioritize economic pragmatism.
At the summit, China announced a string of preliminary business deals.
It said it intended to invest in nuclear and wind energy in Romania and resume imports of beef and pork. It will also help refurbish railway lines between the capitals of Hungary and Serbia, hopefully cutting travel time between Budapest and Belgrade from around eight hours to less than three.
Last year, China's Great Wall Motors inaugurated a factory in Bulgaria, becoming the first Chinese automaker to assemble cars in the EU, while China's Changhong consumer electronics company produces around 1 million LCD televisions a year in the Czech Republic.
Gorondi reported from Budapest, Hungary. Christopher Bodeen in Beijing contributed to this report.

ATLANTA | An Atlanta man is suing the Georgia Department of Driver Services, contending that his rights were violated when the state rejected his application for vanity plates making reference to his sexual orientation.
James Cyrus Gilbert maintains in the lawsuit that state officials rejected his application for the tags 4GAYLIB, GAYPWR and GAYGUY.

All three vanity plates are on the list of vanity plates banned by the state, although the state has approved plates expressing some political or religious expressions, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Gilbert said he wasn't asking for a plate that was vulgar or "over the top."
Representatives of the state Attorney General's office, Georgia Department of Driver Services and the Department of Revenue, the agency that administers vanity plates, declined to comment on the lawsuit.
A Journal-Constitution analysis of banned and approved vanity plates found the difference between 10,214 banned tags and the 91,151 accepted tags is sometimes ambiguous.
Department of Revenue officials have acknowledged in the past that the process of approving vanity plates is inconsistent. State officials approved HATERS, but denied HATERS1, for instance.
"I think it's pretty clear the statute has been applied arbitrary without regard to any state interest," said Cynthia Counts, a free speech lawyer representing Gilbert. "And the restrictions have reflected viewpoint discrimination and that alone should be fatal."
By denying speech that supports gay rights, while allowing conservative, religious speech like JESUS4U, Counts argues the state is favoring one political belief or philosophy over another.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A government report says Minnesota farmers plan to plant more soybeans in 2014 but the same amount of corn as last year.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday that Minnesota farmers plan to plant 8.6 million acres of corn, unchanged from 2013. If farmers stick to those plans, it would be Minnesota's second-largest corn acreage planted, just 150,000 acres less than the record of 8.75 million in 2012.
Minnesota farmers also intend to plant 7.4 million acres of soybeans, up 10 percent from last year. If those plans hold firm, it would be the state's second-largest soybean acreage planted, just 100,000 below the record of 7.5 million in 2003.
Nationally, cropland devoted to corn is expected to shrink 4 percent as farmers devote 6 percent more acres to soybeans.

Two people were transported to a local hospital Saturday afternoon after a two-car accident in the 900 block of 23rd Street, near the McDonald's restaurant, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.
Just before 3 p.m. Saturday, a blue Geo Metro rear-ended a stopped black Ford Explorer on 23rd Street as both were heading east on the roadway.
The driver of the Ford Explorer complained of back pain, and was transported by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, McKinley said. A 6-year-old girl in the front seat of the Geo Metro received minor facial injuries after an airbag deployment, and was also transported by ambulance, he said.
The other people involved in the accident were not seriously hurt, he said.

Hi Kile,
I'll wait for the new revision of the pcb, and do a prototype. With all the cool addition on your final design, and if ok with you I'll take one of the factory made ones. I really can't understand why there isn't much more people interested by this, it is so much fun to do. And by the way, I'm from Belgium, we are not so far apart Have a nice day. |
Price of module's and even have long range HERE Add RX!? |
Not that it's not interesting. It's just over the head of most reading.
Plus, Nine Eagle's has tx compatibility issues. Their new helis uses a different protocol it seems. It's unfortunately IMHO, and puts me off because of it. In addition, I have had a couple of their RX failed prematurely on mine. Works on one battery. Stuck in another the next day and servo doesn't work. That said, what you have done here is to be commended. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. |
And, wow!! don't want to fry my brain with that range, don't have so many neurons left at my age Quote:
Thank you but I merely read and applied blindly what I barely understood at the time (now I begin to see the all picture, it's that that is so nice about projects like this one) The one who merits all credit is Kile, even more that in the beginning he wasn't a bit interested in this. I'm grateful that he did it and pursue it, otherwise I can't fly my SP anymore And I agree with you one TX for each and new Nine Eagles is just bs, it's the one and only reason I don't buy another helicopter from them. I'll use my 2 SP until they die (it will be long time, since I have like 200$ in spares) I was being afraid of breaking something at the time, if I only knew they where so resilient... |
Layout and routing is finished I had to drop the Saleae Logic breakout (would have made routing impossible), but I kept V-USB and added a few small things. I haven't fixed the labels yet.
It's been quite a challenge to route this board. I am still very slow at this. If only everything was as quick and easy as writing code I guess it would be after 20 years of doing it... So, I expect to have a press & peel prototype by the end of the weekend. After that I'll order the PCBs from ITead. |
Looking at the pcb, one thing is bothering me (maybe more it takes time to follow all these lines ), as is the JR pad would be soldered top and bottom.
If I put a simple female pin header there, I'll have some hard time doing it that way. Shouldn't it be only soldered from the top side ? I'm puzzled. Thank you. |
I've finished the new prototype of the PCB. Everything seems to be fine, except I've messed up the buzzer footprint and put the ISP too close to the nRF module. I've corrected those in the new version I've uploaded. I have made a serial arduino programmer with the same pinout as a FTDI cable http://www.raijuu.net/2008/12/serial/. It uses a serial port since I have one on my PC motherboard and I'm short on USB ports. I don't have a real FTDI yet, so I'll test the arduino bootloader with this. Good for debugging as well. I've added another thing that I have not mentioned in the previous posts. Inspired by this thread https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1510047 I have used the remaining 2 pins of the JR module (6V and ANT) and routed AVR's USART to them. Since the hadware of this TX module allows any protocol to communicate with the receiver on the bird, this means that it is possible to build a receiver circuit which will send telemetry back to the transmitter. This, of course is very far into the future, but given enough motivation/interest it would be possible to do. It could, for instance mimic FrSky's telemetry protocol which means that the 9x firmwares would be able to read the telemetry information from the TX module without modification. Just an idea... nRF has a short range (around 100m) so this is not very useful for most people, but I fly only small helicopters (I've been building my first HK250 when I got 'sidetracked' by this project) and this could be very useful to me. If you don't think you will need this, just don't solder R11, R12, D4 and D5 onto the board. I'll fix a few more cosmetics and send the PCB to ITead in the next day or two. Who wants one? |
I've sent the files to ITead for production. If all goes well (and if I haven't screwed up anything) I should have 10 blank PCBs in about 2-3 weeks. I've uploaded the version of the circuit that went into production.
I've also found a bug in the binding function and uploaded the new source. As usual you have to modify the hw_setup.h file to match your pin definitions. By the way, ITead has an nRF24L01+ module with a PCB antenna. It has the same pinout as the Nine Eagles module, so I ordered one to play with. I wonder if it fits the module case. It's $5.50 + shipping. |
Look what the postman brought today!
It took exactly a month from the day I ordered, longer than I expected, but still OK. I've made a few changes to the software during this time and I also made a V-USB based bootloader. I will assemble at least one of these in the next few days and test everything. Fun times ahead |
Looking very nice indeed!!
Well i need my solo pro here and then make one for my Futaba module. Have got a pair of nRF24L01+ modules. Was hoping to maybe get wireless sim adapter so can free up 7ch rx ...which can go in new quad but another project may kick off (nothing to do with me) which i've wanted for a longtime Walkera module for my futaba which would be sweet!! Just so much to do and works picked up a little so lot less free time........ |

About the Book
A hilarious and touching new installment of Armistead Maupin's beloved Tales of the City series
Twenty years have passed since Mary Ann Singleton left her husband and child in San Francisco to pursue her dream of a television career in New York. Now a pair of personal calamities has driven her back to the city of her youth and into the arms of her oldest friend, Michael "Mouse" Tolliver, a gardener happily ensconced with his much-younger husband.
Mary Ann finds temporary refuge in the couple's backyard cottage, where, at the unnerving age of fifty-seven, she licks her wounds and takes stock of her mistakes. Soon, with the help of Facebook and a few old friends, she begins to reengage with life, only to confront fresh terrors when her checkered past comes back to haunt her in a way she could never have imagined.
After the intimate first-person narrative of Maupin's last novel, Michael Tolliver Lives, Mary Ann in Autumn marks the author's return to the multicharacter plotlines and darkly comic themes of his earlier work. Among those caught in Mary Ann's orbit are her estranged daughter, Shawna, a popular sex blogger; Jake Greenleaf, Michael's transgendered gardening assistant; socialite DeDe Halcyon-Wilson; and the indefatigable Anna Madrigal, Mary Ann's former landlady at 28 Barbary Lane.
More than three decades in the making, Armistead Maupin's legendary Tales of the City series rolls into a new age, still sassy, irreverent, and curious, and still exploring the boundaries of the human experience with insight, compassion, and mordant wit.

DERF Happy Hour
Keep checking back here to find out where the next DERF Happy Hour will be!
In public I must appear aloof to prevent my fans from falling in love with me.
By Slade Dandrigde, DERF Editorialist
In my business when a reader falls in love with a super popular columnist, it is called transference. It is similar to how a patient falls in love with their Psychiatrist. Highly successful columnists have to be very careful. There may have been numerous cases already in which very attractive woman have fallen deeply in love with me. I have no way of proving this. It's more of an intuition I have. Often in public if a woman is not looking at me, that means she is intentionally resisting every temptation to look at me because she does not want to appear too obvious. I see hundreds of women doing this to me everywhere I go. The only logical conclusion is many of them have fallen in love with me.
Perhaps the words in my column cast a sort of amorous spell on them until they can't resist it any longer. I see women everywhere: In the mall, driving in their cars, at coffee shops, etc. And almost all of them are intentionally avoiding looking at me. In fact I almost never catch a woman looking at me because they are very clever. They are very skilled at looking at me only when I am looking away. Many of them may be hoping for innocent casual contact with me that may lead to something more meaningful. But others may be caught up in a dangerous obsession that may eventually place me in harm's way.
Let's face it my column has an amazing reach. In my judgment women probably see me as confident, intelligent, and irresistibly appealing. I know that women are extremely attracted to men with men who have the ability to craft words into profound meaning. I have that ability. I will admit it is unusual I have never received any phone calls, emails, or personal visits from any female fans. Clearly, this is because many women are shy. Most women understand that I am very popular among women and they understandably feel intimidated by this. I really do not enjoy intimidating women but I am afraid it may be necessary to keep a professional arms length between my fans and I.

Check out their site here. The Megas are a band that write songs exclusively about Mega Man. They've never been invited to PAX, but they've had a CD out for a little over a year and they have at least one dedicated fan who's developed dance routines for their songs — so hopefully, we'll see more of them.

The Always-on Enterprise Requires New Service Level Objectives
Apr 12 2017
5:00 pm
60 mins
Charlie Hodges, Storage Switzerland
The Always-on Enterprise is a data center that faced with even the most severe disaster can return applications to full working order in a matter of minutes. Service level objectives (SLOs) are the means by which IT and the organization communicate how the protection and recovery process will work. The challenge is the status quo SLO won't meet the new "always-on" expectation. You need to protect data more frequently, recover more rapidly and provide better performance in the recovered state.
It is time for IT to re-think SLOs and the solutions to meet them. Join experts from Storage Switzerland, Veeam and NetApp as they review the NEW SLO requirements and how you can meet those requirements while controlling costs.

Capacity - Ransomware - Protection - Three Windows File Server Upgrades to Avoid
Mar 28 2017
3:30 pm
60 mins
Charlie Hodges, Storage Switzerland
For most enterprises, optimizing your Windows fileserver means buying a new, bigger server with more capacity and better network connections. Or it means buying a dedicated Network Attached Storage (NAS) system. Then they feel they need to add new ransomware and data protection software. All of these "solutions" are expensive, involve a costly data migration and don't really increase IT efficiency. In this webinar, experts from Storage Switzerland and Caringo will teach you how data management can eliminate the need for additional Windows file servers, capacity and protection.

ChalkTalk Video - Primary Storage Should Protect Itself
Mar 23 2017
4 mins
George Crump
Storage that is protects itself aids in the data protection and disaster recovery processes without compromising traditional primary storage performance and features. It does this through a combination of its own capabilities (snapshots, basic replication as well as multi-site and synchronous replication) and by complementing or enhancing existing backup solutions – but not replacing them. While many storage systems have replication capabilities, self-protecting primary storage differs in the implementation of those replication tasks, the number of locations that can be a part of that task and the monitoring of those tasks to ensure successful completion.

Storage Refresh? 3 Capabilities Primary Storage Must Have (but probably doesn't)
Mar 23 2017
59 mins
Charlie Hodges, Storage Switzerland
If your organization is embarking on a refresh of your primary storage system this year, this is the one webinar that you will want to attend. IT evaluators that haven't looked at storage in a few years, will be impressed the use of flash to improve performance, while many claim to integrate file (NFS, SMB) and block (iSCSI, Fibre) protocols. These features though are now table stakes for the modern storage solution.
While all of these features are important (and not created equal), IT professionals should demand capabilities that solve today's organizational challenges like eliminating shadow IT, improving multi-site productivity and long term data retention as well as meeting increasingly strict compliance standards. IT professionals should look for not only high performance and universal protocol support but also enterprise file sync and share, inter-data center sync and secure archive with compliance.

The 5 Disaster Recovery Questions You're Not Asking
Mar 21 2017
62 mins
Curtis Preston, Storage Switzerland
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is changing the way data center administrators think about disaster recovery. A DR site and equipment no longer need to be bought in advance. DRaaS instead enables DR to be on-demand. The concept is so appealing that vendors are racing into the market claiming to offer DRaaS capabilities. But DRaaS is more than a simple check mark for a DR requirement. Organizations need to realize that how well the service performs is critical to successfully surviving a disaster.

DRaaS Best Practices - 5 Critical Recovery Steps
Feb 23 2017
62 mins
George Crump, Storage Switzerland
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offers organizations one of the most viable recovery options available to them in recent years. The ability to have an on-demand recovery site that is pre-seeded with your data should dramatically lower costs and improve recovery times, even in the worst of disasters. But IT professionals can't take for granted that DRaaS providers will continue to cover data protection basics while also providing a seamless recovery experience. In this webinar, join Storage Switzerland Lead Analyst George Crump and Carbonite Senior Solutions Engineer Jason Earley as they provide you with the 5 Critical Recovery Steps for using DRaaS.

Is Your Storage Ready for Disaster?
Feb 22 2017
60 mins
W. Curtis Preston with StorageSwiss, Lei Yang and Bill Roth with Tintri
The recovery expectations of users and organizations is changing and their tolerance for downtime is lower than ever. IT professionals can no longer rely on the traditional backup and recovery process to meet these new requirements. Primary storage needs to do more, and simple LUN-based replication is not going to get the job done. Instead data centers need to look for primary storage that has advanced replication capabilities and can integrate with multiple hypervisors and existing data protection solutions to create a holistic disaster recovery strategy.

Moving VMware from Disaster Recovery to High Availability
Feb 21 2017
60 mins
George Crump, Storage Switzerland
VMware's stretch cluster does an excellent job of protecting against a site failure. If your primary data center fails then it is easy to bring up VMs in the second site. But what if you need more? How can you extend VMware's stretch cluster capability from single site protection to multiple sites? What if you want to extend recovery into the cloud? A multi-site and multi-cloud data distribution strategy not only creates more resilient IT operations, it also empowers workload mobility.
In this live webinar Storage Switzerland and Hedvig will discuss the limitations of VMware stretch cluster, the possibilities of a more highly available approach and how to achieve complete IT resiliency.

Four Reasons Why Your Backup & Recovery Hardware will Break by 2020
Jan 26 2017
46 mins
George Crump, Storage Switzerland Doug Soltesz, Cloudian
While backup software vendors continue to innovate, hardware vendors have been resting on their deduplication laurels. In the meantime, the amount of data that organizations store continues to grow at an alarming pace and the backup and disaster recovery expectations of users are higher than ever. Most backup solutions today simply will not be able to keep pace with these realities. If organizations don't act now to address the weaknesses in their backup hardware, they will not be able to meet organizational demands by 2020. In this webinar, Cloudian and Storage Switzerland will discuss three areas where IT professionals need to expect more from their backup hardware and where they should demand less.
Four Reasons Why Backup Hardware Will Break by 2020:
1. Not Cost Effective Enough
2. Not Scalable Enough
3. Only Good for Backups - Not Enough Use Cases
4. Too Much Deduplication

Opportunistic XOR Network Coding for Multihop Data Delivery in Underwater Acoustic Networks
This paper proposes XOR-BiDO, a Data Delivery Scheme (DDS) suited for multi-hop underwater acoustic networks characterized by regular bidirectional traffic streams. DDSs for multi-hop underwater networks usually assume a single-sink configuration, where most of the transmissions flow in a single direction. Throughput performance decreases and fairness suffers when such DDSs are subjected to heavy bidirectional traffic streams due to increase of queueing delays at relay nodes. This paper proposes the integration of an opportunistic XOR network coding layer into BiDO, a scheme previously designed for single-sink underwater networks. This coding layer actively and opportunistically mixes data frames whenever a coding opportunity arises.

SearchAll Refuges
The Kittlitz's murrelet (KIMU) is one of the rarest and least known seabirds in the world. This species was first discovered nesting within the boundaries of Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge in 2006 when a botanist working on a remote mountain stumbled upon a large downy chick in a nest. The nest was little more than a shallow depression in a small patch of moss and lichens on the side of a rocky ridge above an alpine lake at 900m (2953ft). After discovery of the nest, Kodiak Refuge partnered with the USGS Alaska Science Center, the USFWS Endangered Species Division, and Oregon State University to systematically study the nesting ecology of this species. Funding for the research has been provided by several sources including the Kodiak Refuge biological program, USGS-USFWS Science Support Partnership Program, USFWS Endangered Species Division, USGS Alaska Science Center, and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Alaska Fish and Wildlife Fund.The KIMU is of particular conservation concern, since the world population was recently estimated to be less than 57,000 birds, and its surveyed populations in Alaska have declined substantially over the last 20 years. Because so little was known about the biology of KIMU the collection of basic biological information about the species was a necessity to understand possible reasons for the decline. A dedicated effort to find nests on Kodiak Island began in 2008 as part of a larger effort to better understand the causes of this species' recent population declines. Since initiation of the study motion sensitive cameras placed at nest sites have produced thousands of camera images revealing new information about the bird's nesting biology, and greatly expanding our knowledge of feeding and growth of KIMU chicks, nest attendance rates, and causes of nest failure. For example, sand lance has been the most commonly delivered forage fish, and growth rates of Kodiak chicks may be high compared with a comparable study of KIMU at Agattu Island in the western Aleutians. Predation may be a limiting factor on Kodiak, accounting for 70% of nest failure or loss over the last four years. Camera surveillance reveled that red fox were the leading predator, but other commonly observed potential predators include the common raven, bald eagle, and black-billed magpie. After analysis, the data gathered is expected to help managers identify potential KIMU nesting habitat throughout their range in Alaska, an important step in pinpointing the cause of the species' decline. A total of 74 KIMU nests have been studied over the last five years representing over 30% of all nests ever found. The Refuge habitats that support KIMU will continue to be very important to the study of this species.2015 Kittlitz's Murrelet Progress Report2014 Kittlitz's Murrelet Progress Report2014 Kittlitz's Murrelet Research Poster2013 Kittlitz's Murrelet Progress Report2012 Kittlitz's Murrelet Research Poster 2012 Kittlitz's Murrelet Progress Report

2010 Progress Report: Breeding Behavior and Ecology of Kittlitz's Murrelet in Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska
Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) is a rare seabird that nests in remote mountainous terrain in coastal areas of Alaska and the Russian Far East. It is one of the least-studied birds in North America and very little is known about its nesting ecology. For a third consecutive year, we studied the breeding biology and behavior of Kittlitz's murrelets on southwest Kodiak Island. We located nests by systematically searching nesting habitat, placed motion sensitive cameras on a subset of nests, and collected morphometric and genetic data on chicks after they hatched. We periodically monitored nests to determine the status of breeding birds. Following the end of breeding activities, we sampled ground cover at nest sites and random plots to characterize critical nesting habitat. During 2010, 16 nests were discovered. Ten of these nest produced chicks, of which four fledged. Chick provisioning, nest depredation and egg abandonment were recorded at eight nests using remote cameras. We also conducted 23 audio-visual surveys of birds flying to and from nesting areas, recording 238 total detections from four locations.
Full Report
Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) is a rare seabird that nests in remote alpine terrain in coastal areas of Alaska and the Russian Far East. It is considered to be one of the least-studied birds in North America and very little is known about its nesting ecology. We studied Kittlitz's murrelet during the summer of 2009 in known and suspected nesting habitats on western Kodiak Island. This effort represented the second year of a five-year research project focusing on the breeding ecology of Kittlitz's murrelet in Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. Thirteen nests were discovered and monitored over the 10-week study period. Five nests produced chicks, and one chick fledged. Images of nest depredation and egg abandonment were recorded by hidden camera, and detailed nest provisioning data were also obtained from images. We recorded nest characteristics and quantified characteristics of ground cover surrounding nest sites. Pre-dawn audio-visual surveys performed in 2008 were used successfully to locate nesting habitat in 2009. Audio-visual surveys were continued in 2009, and 32 surveys were conducted in several locations.Full Report

//EDIT: Think I forgot to mention there is a little bit of interacivity in this, just look for the sparkle in the movie, just like in the games~~ =3
The final part in the Colour series, and yes, it is an animation, not a game.
Although I spent months planning this, in the end I was limited to less than a week to animate the whole thing, which affected quality as you will no-doubt notice.
Please know that you MUST have played the PREVIOUS PARTS to understand what this animation is talking about. Links are provided in-flash.
I won't talk to much about it, I hope that (with prior knowledge) the story is self-explaintory.
HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY WORLD! MAY YOU FIND THE LOVE THAT YOU SEARCH AND MAY THE DREAMS THAT YOU FIGHT FOR COME TRUE!
That's -choke- beautiful.
Wow. I love it. But the easter egg is too fast for meh to cleeeeek!!
Colour Series Review
When this first game first came out, it was simply another simply, arty game.
However, it soon became evident that thisI game wasn't just any Art Game.
It was better than the rest.
Yes, the Newgrounds audience criticized it for having poor graphics and no color.
But soon enough, they realized that that was why it was so beautiful.
A man must cross a giant city to find his true love.
The city is a spiritual representation of his inner conflict.
This girl is all that he wants.
And he has a deep fear that he will be rejected his life destroyed.
He finally makes it to the end.
He finally discovers himself.
In her.
The second edition of these series brought something totally new into the light.
The city is a real city.
It is the 'clean and controlled' City of Black and White.
It is the dead city you live in devoid of colour.
It was made as an utopia.
Free of emotions and greed.
Shut away from the world.
And as a last mark, the builders did one thing.
They made the city alive.
The city has has already realized of the undying love between the two.
It knows the damage that could be done.
The city proceeds to do all that it can to stop the lovers.
He sets up everything.
Everything thing they see gets them to think.
Is it worth it?
This city is all powerful.
Can you escape it?
This city shows them that they can't even see each other without being hindered.
But to no avail.
The two still meet.
They think it's over.
The City continues to plan.
The city as done the impossible.
It has infiltrated the hero's mind.
After a long tiring journey in a nightmare, the hero beats him.
He shows the city that it can be overcome.
That it is not the most powerful.
It is at this moment that the city realizes that he is close to defeat.
He has one last chance.
It's Christmas.
He does not know what to get her.
Finally, he decides to bring down the city and restore color.
He infiltrates the city's security and brings down the bots.
In the heart of the city, he makes and amazing discovery.
There is still color.
It is locked deep underground and being experimented on.
The city had been foolish.
As long as color lives, the darkness can be overcome.
As the greatest gift ever, he delivers a giant Christmas tree, the falling of the dark and return of color.
He spreads the word.
Everyone realizes that they were suppressed and had not the heart to overcome.
They rebuild.
I love this series.
It truly represents us now.
We are lost, colorless, dead.
Our society is rank with decay and corruption.
Our wildlife continues to die.
The worst part is that we continue to pretend things are okay.
They are not.
We are failing.
The pride of our race is gone.
We must take every opportunity we can to rebuild society.
To reinforce our morals.
To put aside our differences and unite.
We must not being afraid of our own opinions.
We should raise our voices.
Raise our fists.
Speak out against censorship.
We must face the harsh reality and turn around.
This is what the Colour teaches us.
We must bring color back into our lives!
these games do something to you, Silverstitch Brilliant! Coin, GREAT MUSIC
A series to remember, plus the easteregg.
Nothing compares to this series for those warming moments, and now... for the spoiler.
When the main protagonist (the guy showing the joys of Colour) opens the curtain behind him, theres a sparkle on the tip of the large tree. I found it by I guess cheating; I held the [Tab] key through out the video until I saw a highlighted yellow square.
I repeat:
The easteregg (clickable part) is on the tip of the large tree just as "the guy on the TV screen" opens his curtains.

Kleptomania (klep-toe-MAY-nee-uh) is the recurrent failure to resist urges to steal items that you generally don't really need and that usually have little value. Kleptomania is a serious mental health disorder that can cause much emotional pain to you and your loved ones if not treated.
Kleptomania is a type of impulse control disorder — a disorder that's characterized by problems with emotional or behavioral self-control. If you have an impulse control disorder, you have difficulty resisting the temptation or drive to perform an act that's excessive or harmful to you or someone else.
Many people with kleptomania live lives of secret shame because they're afraid to seek mental health treatment. Although there's no cure for kleptomania, treatment with medication or psychotherapy may be able to help end the cycle of compulsive stealing.
