Made by Brad: Thinking Outside the Box
Brad Fremmerlind, a 25-year-old man in Edmonton, Alberta, has been making headlines with his furniture-assembly business, Made by Brad. Brad is nonverbal and autistic, and with the help of his family and day program workers, he's built a growing business. Recently, Autism After 16 talked with Brad's mother, Deb Fremmerlind, about the motivations and methodology behind Made by Brad.
AA16: Tell us a bit about Brad; specifically, what was his typical day/work situation like before the business began?
DF: Brad (Brad Lee) lives in a group home, less than five minutes from our home. He attends a day program with the Excel Society at the Gerard Raymond Centre, and he is severely affected by autism. He doesn't speak, so he uses around 200 functional signs to communicate. Our biggest struggle is this: he's very ritualistic. He can form a ritual very quickly; if you do something with him three times—like go get ice cream after a job—then chances are, it's really stuck.
Each day, Brad gets driven to his day program. There, he works with an iPad program to improve his communication … He practices manually writing words, and doing Google searches for pictures; we want to get him to have a whole picture of the language. When he's not working on that, he attends various classes, like cooking and sign language, and goes on outings.
Brad had some difficult times starting at age 15. At the time, we lived in a northern community, and both in school and at home, he just couldn't function—he'd become so ritualistic. And when aggression occurs with Brad, it's due to the interrupting of a ritual. With Brad, though, if there's a big life change, like a move, we can change rituals; we can re-evaluate and eliminate the ones that are not productive. So, when his agency was moving locations, we changed the rituals …You have to figure out what you want his day to look like, and how he can function.
AA16: How did the idea for the business come about? What were the concrete steps you took to get it set up and running?
DF: Brad's "business" is simply a tool to increase [his] social interaction with the community and to help with his life-long education. We want to develop Brad's social awareness and give back to the community by providing a service. Brad learned to build furniture from years of following diagrams, building plastic models and Legos. We'd buy Lego projects and send them to [his] day program to give him something productive to do. Ever since he started at the program, we wanted to figure out how to use his skills in building furniture. In the fall of 2013, we set a goal with Brad's day program that Brad would build furniture for people.
We felt supported by the day program, but the business was always on the back burner; there were always so many things to work on with Brad Lee! Finally, this fall, we said, "OK, let's put it in writing as one of his goals." After that, it happened very quickly … You do need to have the right staff. There's a wonderful young man, who's very patient, who takes [Brad] to jobs.
I've always told support workers, "Whatever you're interested in, introduce it to Brad Lee, and see how it goes." Because that's what we did at home. [My husband, Brad's father] Mark loves classic cars and airplanes, so we'd buy plastic models. It was very deliberate; we chose them because they have wonderful picture diagrams. Then there was a lot of training, so [Brad] would learn to stay on task. We spent so much money on Lego projects, and that naturally flowed into furniture. Any furniture that comes in a box with a diagram, he can put it together. He's quite good at it, but it's a learned skill. We have engineers in the family … but he's practiced since he was 3. We bought things for him to practice on … but eventually, we just didn't need any more furniture!
AA16: What's been the most challenging part of starting a business for you as parents? For Brad? The best part?
DF: The most challenging is Brad's ritualistic behavior, but once he's in a new place, a new job, it broadens his social awareness.
On today's project, Brad got a little rough; he was apparently prancing around, not working. His support worker texted Mark, to say, "Brad Lee's a little distracted!" Mark said, "You can just work on it yourself, and get it going." And then Brad jumped in after that. He can usually stay on task, but it takes a while for him to get going. He's very focused once he starts.
Also, Brad Lee doesn't respect people's personal space … Initially, we thought we'd go into stores and have him build furniture there, but he needs one-on-one [support] and can't focus for very long. He can go in and do one project, that's it. So we thought, If stores are out, we'd like him to get out and experience building [furniture] in other people's homes. When my husband would have days off, he'd place online ads to find building jobs that they could do together. Brad doesn't like large crowds, so going into homes works well for him.
AA16: How has "Made by Brad" been set up legally?
DF: Right now it's not set up [as a legal business]. It's just one avenue, a part of his day program, but we had to call it something … Financially the business is so small it may never turn a profit. You can think of it like a kid with a grass-cutting or snow-shoveling business in their neighborhood. I can't talk about the business model because we are less than six weeks [at the time of the interview] into this. I can talk about Brad his strengths and weakness, what his days look like, and [our] hopes for the future.
We're just being very cautious. We don't want Brad to be overwhelmed or overstimulated; we just want to enhance his social skills and give back to the community. If Brad gets too many demands, there can be behaviors such as noise, and sometimes—very rarely—aggressive behavior, though he'll immediately apologize … If we control the environment, then [the behaviors] are all under control, but if we let this thing get too big … well, it has to be Brad-centered. The clients are wonderful, but it has to be Brad-centered. If it isn't, it could be detrimental to him.
AA16: What's the intake process like for new clients? Approximately how many clients/jobs does Brad do in a typical week? In what areas is he independent, and where does he need the most support?
DF: Brad does three to four jobs a week, and we book one to two weeks in advance. The price is determined by the size of the project and the proximity to his day program. Brad travels to his jobs with his support worker, and each job usually takes two to three hours. We are hoping to keep the business going through Brad's Facebook page and his website. Potential clients can contact us through both sites. Before the video, Mark took Brad to a few jobs that he got through placing a Kijiji ad [similar to Craigslist], and it was very positive experience for Brad.
We have to be careful not to set a pattern [with jobs] … that's why it works to go into these different homes and build a variety of projects. We usually do jobs a first-come, first-served basis, but sometimes that varies. We try to do jobs that are close to the day program or to our house, and jobs that offer variety. For example, if we have too many desk orders coming in, then we say, OK, this doll house project takes precedence. We've had amazing customers.
It took a little while to figure out how to do [scheduling]; initially, we thought he'd do a job a day. But then an opportunity for snowshoeing came up, and now Brad goes snowshoeing on Wednesdays. And three to four jobs per week really is better for him … it's focused on his needs, his social awareness.
AA16: How did you determine pay scale? Do you see it changing in the future?
DF: We're still working prices out. As his parents, we debate … basically, the price is based on the size of the job and the proximity to Brad's day program. If it takes a long time to get there, we charge more. By contrast, we had a request to build a kitchen table and chair for a group home, and he did it for free, as part of community service. It's not about money, it's about social development and life-long learning.
AA16: How did you gain such wide media coverage? Has that been helpful for Made by Brad's growth?
DF: For about two years, Mark has meet monthly with Ben Weinlick (of Think Jar Collective) to develop and implement an iPad program for Brad. It was in one of these meetings that the idea to make a video to help Brad get work was discussed. Mike Hamm made a very good video showcasing Brad's skills, and the video took on a life of his own. The media has made us out to be more than we are, but the media has also helped us get jobs.
AA16: Who will support Brad in this business if/when there comes a time when you as his parents cannot? Or will it just disappear?
DF: When I think about the future … I'm glad that Made by Brad is in association with day program and skilled staff, so it is sustainable. Brad's support worker is paid for by the province. His earnings are small and they go into his regular savings account. The amounts are small so we are not concerned [about loss of Brad's benefits]; however we will have our accountant do Brad's taxes from now on.
Right now, [the business] is perfect for Brad. For his entire life, we've always tried to think outside the box, partly out of necessity. We just don't want him—or anyone!—to languish in a group home and do absolutely nothing. We don't know where this [business] is going to take Brad; it's solely determined by Brad's needs.
AA16: Do you have a sense that perhaps it was easier to help develop the business with Brad once you and your husband were no longer his full-time caregivers?
DF: It is easier when we're not caregivers, but then, both of us work full-time too … In any case, [Brad] is 25, so he needs to be an adult, and this is a way for him to do that.
AA16: What are some of your hopes for Brad's future?
DF: We would love for him to have more language skills, to develop in that area—he can communicate, we just want him to have more language. Really, his rituals are a bigger issue than communication, though. I always talk about preventing the development of unproductive rituals.
AA16: What advice would you give to families looking to set up something similar?
DF: Take whatever their adult child is interested in, and ask, is there some way to develop that? And never to give up.
Sometimes people look at Brad and they don't realize that there were times in his life that were very difficult. He had to leave our home at the age of 15; his rituals resulted in aggression and holes in walls. The school couldn't handle it … We figured out we needed to move our family with Brad Lee to Edmonton … My husband had to re-train as a Medivac pilot for work, and then it was about a year before the rest of us [Brad is second oldest of four children] could come. And then we got Brad Lee into a high school, a community living program, and he was a challenge … But never give up. Wherever you are right now is not where you're going to end up.

Small Reels Redux: Why Cassettes are Cool Again
Whenever I'm in the Pacific Northwest, I like to stop by Vancouver's Innovative Audio and visit my friend Gordon Sauck, one of the true gurus of vintage audio gear. Last year when I visited the store, Sauck asked me to conduct some shootouts of vintage receivers, turntables, and speakers versus their modern counterparts. When I asked him what kind of shootout we could do this year, he didn't hesitate. "Cassette decks," he said. "Definitely cassette decks."
"Really?" I asked, remembering that I hadn't touched a cassette deck since maybe 1999. "Does anyone actually use cassette decks anymore?"
"They're cool again," Sauck replied. "Things seem to go in trends, and cassette and reel-to-reel decks are the things people are buying and having fun with. The prices reflect this and we're seeing a lot of vintage decks going for $400 now, where they were going for just $100 or $200 a couple of years ago."
While Sauck and some of his customers had done a listening test of cassette decks about a year ago, he felt that perhaps a more technical analysis was needed. So I packed up my Audio Precision System One audio analyzer and made my way up to Vancouver, where I tested five different decks owned by Sauck and some of the enthusiasts who frequent his store.
Although I've owned many cassette decks and often recorded and mixed music on cassette and reel-to-reel, I have to confess I've become spoiled by the perfection of digital recording. So to me, the results of the tests were downright fascinating. Still, I wanted to know more about this cassette renaissance - and how Sound+Vision readers can get in on it. So later on, I interviewed Sauck to get his insights.
BB: Why the resurgence of interest in cassette decks?
GS: Over last few years people have realized that playing with cassette is a hands-on experience, rather than the cut, click, and pasting of music on your iPod or computer; recording on tape gives you more of a "producer-type" feel, and when you listen to the results it just seems to sound better. They're having a lot of fun with it. When you're physically watching all the mechanics working together, and you hear the result, there's a huge feeling of accomplishment.
BB: I can understand why people like cassette, but why the recent rise in prices?
GS: What's happening in the market right now is that a lot of decks have fallen by the wayside, discarded by people who didn't know what they had, clearing out estates, or just switching over to computer-stored music. Since they're not making good quality cassette decks anymore, the ones that are out there are used, and parts for those units are becoming harder to source. So instead of the declining values you see when you own newer gear, we're seeing prices rise not just in collectable vintage decks but other ones as well.
BB: How much does a decent cassette deck cost?
GS: A good basic two-head deck can be found for $20 to maybe $200. Once you get into good three-head decks, they can start around $250 and go up from there. I've seen one posted on Craigslist for $15,000. Obviously that's an extremely rare example and I have no idea if it even sold. But for a really good three-head deck, you're looking at $500 to $1,500 as an average ballpark. Just make sure that it has been properly serviced first.
BB: What are people doing with them? Are they recording with them?
GS: Oddly enough, people are using tape decks to record sources like satellite radio and CDs. Cassette tapes were huge in the '70s and '80s, and there was a massive amount of music on cassette that cannot be found on any other media. So some people are buying machines just to listen to old, obscure music. Once people have experimented with recording a few things, they just get the bug.
BB: Do they feel that the vintage sound of cassette complements that kind of music?
GS: Once you go from a digital source like satellite radio or CD to tape, there's always going to be a difference in the sound. We first heard those songs on either LP or tape when they originally hit the radio waves, and possibly that's enough to trigger those old memories. For me, it's a combination of the tape sound and watching the player when listening. Yeah, it's goofy, but it sure takes me back.
BB: How easy is it to get blank tape?
GS: Tapes are still being made. You can pick them up from places like WalMart and RadioShack. Of course there are professional outfits like Western Imperial Magnetics here in Vancouver that can custom make tapes for you, too. The degree of quality is a different story. You have to look really hard to find metal tapes; you'll probably have to pay through the nose for them on eBay. But CrO2 is easy to find.
BB: And how easy is it to find prerecorded tapes?
GS: Very easy. You can't get them at record stores any more, of course, but used prerecorded tapes are available everywhere: garage sales, flea markets, used record stores. As a matter of fact I'm staring at a customer right now who's buying a bunch of used tapes in our shop. [turns away from the phone] "Culture Club is on the top shelf, Rick."
BB: What are your basic recommendations for someone looking for a cassette deck?
GS: First, look for something that has been serviced and works well. Nothing is worse than paying out big bucks for a dud deck. Don't get into something overly complicated. It won't be fun. Get an entry-level deck that will have the rudimentary functions you need, but look for one with solid build quality. The GX series from Akai is a great example, because they used glass heads and glass heads last pretty much forever. Some of the early Sony three-head decks are good. TEAC made some good, affordable decks.
BB: What if they're looking for something fancier, like in the $500 to $1,000 range?
GS: I would look for a Sony ES deck. Not just because it won your shootout. They're out there, they're easy to find, and they have really good longevity. Or a good Pioneer CT-F1250 - even though you trashed it in your test, there's a reason those decks were considered the studio standard. A Tandberg would be a good choice at that price. Nakamichi, unfortunately, made a lot of gimmicky tape decks, but they made some really solid decks, too, like the 700, the 1000, and the 680zx.
BB: How about the Nakamichi Dragon? That's the one everyone remembers.
GS: How do I put this delicately? Dragons are a great deck, and they have a certain panache, but they're extremely finicky. They have a thing called NAAC [Nakamichi Automatic Azimuth Control], and when it works, it works very well, but when it doesn't it's a nightmare. I know this will draw some comments but the 680zx is as good as a Dragon for nowhere near as high a price.
BB: If someone finds a nice cassette deck at a garage sale, how would you suggest they do a quick evaluation of it?
GS: If the deck is heavy, you're already on the right track. Weight generally indicates good build quality. What you really need to do is plug it in if you can. When you turn it on, all the lights should come on. Most cassette decks have a 1/4-inch headphone jack, so if you carry a pair of headphones with you that has a 1/4-inch plug or a 1/8-to-1/4-inch adapter, you can test it. Put a prerecorded tape in and hit play. All the wheels should turn and the tape should start playing. If you hear warbling or distortion, that indicates something not right in the deck that you'd have to have fixed. Hit fast forward and rewind to make sure they work normally.
One thing to note is that it's perfectly normal for a deck to need new belts, even if all its motors and the transport mechanism are working. That can be easy or hard depending on the deck.
BB: Thanks, Gordon. Sorry I trashed your tape deck.
GS: [silence]

President Mohamed Mursi sacked the intelligence chief on Wednesday and Egyptian aircraft hit targets on the border with Israel in the biggest assault in the area in nearly 40 years after a deadly attack by militants on Egyptian border police.
It was unclear how far Mursi – who must accommodate the powerful army at home and reassure Israel that, as Egypt's first Islamist president, he will maintain stable relations – had expanded his authority in response to Sunday's attack.
But in a major shake-up, he sacked intelligence chief Mourad Mwafi and announced other changes in security appointments.
He has also promised to restore calm to the Sinai region after militants killed 16 Egyptian guards on Sunday and then stormed through the border before being killed by Israeli fire. It was the bloodiest attack on security forces in Sinai since Egypt made peace with Israel in 1979.
Israel, which has been urging Egypt to deal with a growing threat on its southern flank, voiced approval of the security sweep.
Islamist militants opposed to the existence of Israel have stepped up attacks on security forces on the border since the overthrow of president Hosni Mubarak last year.
Many live among Bedouin tribes angry about being neglected by Cairo; they are often Bedouin themselves but follow a stricter interpretation of Islam, while also eschewing the political Islam espoused by Mursi in favor of militant tactics.
Early on Wednesday, Egyptian aircraft struck at targets near the border with Israel and troops raided villages, army officials and witnesses said, in the biggest military assault in the area since their 1973 war.
Egypt's military leadership said ground and air forces had begun to restore stability in Sinai.
"The forces were able to execute the plan successfully. The forces will continue the plan and calls on tribes and families of Sinai to cooperate in the restoration of security," it said.
Mursi, who took office in June, appointed Mohamed Shehata as acting head of intelligence and sacked the governor of the north Sinai region, presidency spokesman Yasser Ali told reporters.
Ali said Mursi also asked the head of Egypt's armed forces, Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, to appoint a new head of military police, and named a new head of the presidential guard.
The changes were announced after Mursi held a national security meeting that brought together Tantawi as well as the prime minister and interior minister.
Analysts said it was unlikely Mursi would have been able to make the changes without the approval of the army, which has kept a tight grip on security policy since the overthrow of Mubarak.
However, a security source said that Shehata, the new acting intelligence chief, had a reputation under Mubarak for being less of a regime loyalist and had been denied promotion as a result.
Explaining the changes, spokesman Ali said Egypt was going through a critical phase and it was necessary to protect "the Egyptian revolution and the Egyptian will".
The fallout of Sunday's attack was the first major test of how Mursi – from the Muslim Brotherhood – would balance the need to maintain stable ties with Israel with his political affinity with the Islamist Hamas movement ruling the Gaza Strip that borders both Israel and Egypt.
Egyptian officials said the gunmen arrived via tunnels used to smuggle goods into Gaza since the territory was cut off by Israel. Egypt began work to seal them off on Tuesday, upsetting Gaza residents who had expected better relations with Cairo after Mursi's election.
Israel has long accused Palestinian militant groups of crossing from Gaza to Egypt to team up with local militants with the aim of attacking Israel's long border. Last August armed infiltrators killed eight Israelis on the Egyptian frontier.
Egypt's military response – which focused on Shaikh Zuwaid, a mud-brick settlement that relies heavily on profits from smuggling goods and people into Gaza – appears to have reassured Israel.
"What we see in Egypt is a strong fury, a determination of the regime and the army to take care of it and impose order in Sinai because that is their responsibility," a senior Israeli defense official, Amos Gilad, said on Israel Radio on Wednesday.
Troops also entered al-Toumah village, 15 miles to the south, acting on information that militants were staying there, army commanders in Sinai told Reuters. One said 20 militants were killed. A villager said he saw helicopters chasing vehicles out of al-Toumah and heard rocket fire.
Mubarak's government worked closely with Israel to secure the frontier region until he was toppled 18 months ago.
Mustapha Kamel Al-Sayyid, a professor of political science at Cairo University, said the situation would now force Mursi's administration to deepen contacts with Israel over security, a step he had hoped to avoid, and restrict contacts with Hamas.
The Hamas prime minister of Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, said there was no evidence Gazans were involved in the latest violence.

Evan Rachel Wood has vowed to move out of Los Angeles after becoming incensed by the publication of paparazzi shots featuring the pregnant actress holding a sonogram of her unborn child.
The Wrestler star was pictured smiling as she and her husband, actor Jamie Bell, exited a California hospital on Wednesday morning, having just undergone an ultrasound, but her happy mood soon turned to anger after discovering her baby's first photo had been posted online.
Seething Wood took to her Twitter.com blog to launch a vicious tirade against the unnamed photographer behind the snapshot, accusing him or her of violating her unborn child's privacy.
In a serious of posts, she rages, "Which sick f— paparazzi hid in the parking lot of my hospital after my ultrasound. I cant stand this.
"You took a picture of my ultrasound photo???!!!! I couldnt be more furious right now. I want to cry. My child isnt even born yet. Thats my child. Its not even out of the womb and they are snapping photos of it."
Furious Wood is now planning to move out of Hollywood in a bid to prevent another invasion of privacy from happening to her or her kid again.
She continues, "I am getting out of la. People have no hearts. I have never been more violated by a photographer. Thats the inside of my body and my child. Would u like my soul too? nothing is sacred.
"Fyi i was not walking down the st (street) parading my ultrasound photo. That was the roof of a hospital parking garage where you should be safe. That picture was never meant for anyone but me and my husband."
And Wood has issued a plea to editors at DailyMail.co.uk – the website which purchased and published the photos – to respect her privacy and take down the pictures.
She adds, "I would like to ask @mailonline to please remove the photos because they are private medical records, and its an invasion. And thats the last i will say on this disgusting subject."
The link to The Daily Mail story now has the message: "The page you have requested does not exist or is no longer available."
Wood quietly wed Bell in October and confirmed her pregnancy news in January.

Is 'Linux' a Word Better Left Unspoken?
Apr 18, 2013 5:00 AM PT
It's no secret that brand image is a crucial consideration in most any consumer product's success, and Linux is surely no exception.
That's been a hot topic of conversation before, but recently it's popped up again with a fresh new twist.
"The Linux Inside Stigma" was the title of the post on Linux Advocates that started the ball rolling this time, and rolled it has, to Slashdot and beyond.
'It Will Scare Buyers Away'
"It's remarkable how Google doesn't mention the word Linux anywhere in their marketing of the Google Chromebook," began author Dietrich Schmitz in the post from earlier this month.
His answer? "Google didn't mention Linux because they know it will scare buyers away," Schmitz asserted. "That's unfortunate, but true. And we need to come to terms with that fact and work towards improving the 'Linux Inside' brand image."
That, of course, is easier said than done. In the meantime, the topic has ruffled the feathers of more than a few Linux fans.
'Pure FUD'
"The Linux Inside Stigma is pure FUD," began blogger Robert Pogson, for example.
"The thesis does not stand on its own feet," Pogson explained. "If consumers by and large do not know much about GNU/Linux and fear the unknown, it is because there are very few salesmen pushing GNU/Linux. If consumers by and large do not know that the inner workings of Android/Linux are Linux, it's simply because they are not technology geeks needing to lift the hood.
"Assuming consumers fear Linux for some reason is stupid," he added. "Ask a consumer and they will tell you they don't know much about it most likely because it is not constantly advertised and it's not on retail shelves. These are not problems for FLOSS, GNU/Linux or Linux. The people who need to know the software that's running do know, and they are shipping units plugged with */Linux every day."
'A Little Thought and Reading'
Samsung, for example, "reveals that Linux is inside with their technical specifications of smartphones including User-Agent strings," Pogson pointed out. "They are not doing a very good job of hiding Linux."
Samsung is also "not shy to advertise that their printers work with GNU/Linux," he added. "They even supply the text of the GPL and explain things for their TVs that run GNU/Linux. Why would they have any different view with other smart thingies? Does anyone believe Samsung does not know their customers?"
In short, "a little thought and reading easily counters the FUD," Pogson concluded.
'No Big Deal'
Others weren't so sure.
"Nothing new and no big deal," countered consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack, for example. "Outside of the server space, the most popular Linux uses don't have any real mention of the fact that they are running Linux."
In fact, "not including my computers and cell phone, I have three devices here running Linux (Wifi router, two-drive NAS, media center), and none of them mention Linux outside of the fine print," Mack added.
'Without Freaking Them Out'
Indeed, "unfortunately, over time Linux has become 'the hobbyist's OS,'" suggested Linux Rants blogger Mike Stone.
"The myth is that you have to know code or want to tinker with command lines to make Linux work," Stone explained. "It's been that way since Linux was born, and no one will let the facts get in the way of a good tale."
Of course, "there are always those that benefit from keeping that myth alive, and they'll spread it like fact as long as people will let them," he added. "Also unfortunately, those people have bigger advertising budgets than Linux does, and they spend millions upon millions of dollars telling everybody how cool their products are."
Fortunately, however, "despite these attempts to keep Linux down, it's being adopted anyway," Stone concluded. "Linux is literally everywhere. Now, we just need to find a way to let people know without freaking them out."
'Indecent Pressure'
Part of the problem is "ignorance of the fact that GNU/Linux is not for 'administrators and hackers only,' as it was 20 years ago!" offered Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C.
"The bigger part of the fault is the propaganda and indecent pressure Microsoft applies over hardware vendors," he charged.
ChromeOS' popularity is "not because they don't frighten the user by not mentioning 'Linux,' but because Google and Android are already well-known," Gonzalo Velasco C. explained. "It's like the 'I don't know what this watch has inside, but it gives me the hour and it's a Rolex, so I am going to buy it' issue."
In the same way, "it's a matter of the machine makers and vendors to be included in the equation for the 'Linux' brand [to] become a huge success both at home and in the corporate world," he concluded. "And M$ knows that."
'That Would Be Confusing'
Google+ blogger Brett Legree had a similar take.
"Why do some companies or distros not mention the word Linux? Personally, I think it is branding," Legree told Linux Girl -- "for product differentiation, to encourage recognition by users and reduce confusion."
Apple, for instance, "runs iOS and OS X on the XNU kernel, but nobody calls them 'iOS/XNU' or 'OS X/XNU' -- that would be confusing," he explained. "Similarly, Windows 8 and Windows RT and everything below that back to Windows 2000 run on the NT kernel, but Microsoft does not call them 'Windows 8/NT' and 'Windows RT/NT.'"
Next, "imagine for a moment what a new person might think with respect to Linux, when confronted with 200+ 'Linux' operating systems," Legree suggested. "One might logically assume that a program downloaded or purchased for 'Ubuntu Linux' would work on 'Chrome Linux' or 'Fedora Linux' or whatever, when it might not."
By leaving "Linux" out of the official name, on the other hand, "Canonical can write their own 'Ubuntu apps' and Google can write their own 'Chrome OS apps' and nobody -- hopefully -- will think that they are interchangeable."
'Devs Don't Talk to Each Other'
Slashdot blogger hairyfeet saw it differently.
"ChromeOS and Android are NOT LINUX," hairyfeet told Linux Girl. "I mean, do you call a router Linux? The entire reason there IS a stigma is because Linux devs are notorious for being like a herd of cats and breaking stuff out of boredom."
For example, "look at how they just threw out GNOME 2 and KDE 3, which had FINALLY become feature rich and stable," hairyfeet offered. "We are just NOW recovering, although frankly still not as feature complete, so no wonder Google just took the ball and went home with it.
"It's been said they spend a billion a year on it, why? Because if they didn't do it themselves they'd find out like Canonical has that Linux devs don't talk to each other, and 'works for me!' seems to be the ONLY thing they care about," he said. "When you are talking about trying to make an OS for tens of millions of people 'works for me!' does NOT cut the mustard!"
'Best Not Mentioning It'
Last but not least, Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor, said it's time to move past this debate.
"When you mention Linux to someone, they think of something which is still operated from the command line," Lim agreed. "Linux has unfortunately become synonymous with not being user friendly, or difficult to use."
Lim doesn't, however, agree with Schmitz that Linux's brand image should be improved.
"Linux-based operating system developers are probably best not mentioning it," Lim explained. "Many already do not."
The Linux name has "some marketing value, mainly to attract existing users to try something else," Lim conceded, but "it scares pretty much everybody else away."
Now, "it is really time to move on from this," he concluded. "As important as the Linux kernel is, each operating system should be allowed to get away from the 'Linux Inside' stigma. It is really their strongest advocates that keep dragging them back in."

Machine vision: Integrating Multiple Viewing Techniques
One of the biggest challenges for a sawmill stems from the fact that while finished boards are made to standard sizes, trees are not. Optimization is an in-process procedure which maximizes output of highest value board sizes and quality from the limited and environmentally valuable input of random shape logs. In the optimization process, 3D profiles of each raw board are analyzed to position saws optimally to edge the individual boards to width, and trim them to length, removing defective areas and providing the optimized quality and productivity at the end of the line. Optimization can improve yields by an impressive 15% or more. In a larger sawmill cutting an average of 80,000 board feet per shift and running two shifts each day, this can equal a return of $1.35 million per year.
Board optimization traditionally involves mounting 3D laser sensors above and below board conveyor lines to provide high density 3D geometric profiles of each rough board as it passes. Typical inspection rates are up to 120 boards per minute with some systems running as high as 200 boards per minute.
Depending on the length of the boards, 20 or more sensors may be implemented for full surface coverage.
Advances in technology
Over the past three decades, 3D sensing has evolved significantly, with profile resolution improving from 3 in. (76 mm) to 0.3 in. (7.6 mm) spacing, and frame rates have increased to 2 kHz. These improvements detect smaller defects and making much better decisions on cutting paths.
Detecting surface defects, such as knots, splits, and stains on the boards, uses 2D full-color surface inspection. Early in the cutting process, this 2D information is analyzed automatically to cut out surface defect areas. Adding a separate 2D surface color inspection station can be a challenge. Integrating separate 2D and 3D sensors is complicated, involving cabling, tracking work pieces through two inspection areas, and synchronizing data from all sensors. The resulting system has many elements, is expensive, and maintenance intensive.
Simplifying integration
To simplify the challenge in these types of applications, LMI Technologies has introduced a family of sensors which combine 3D high density profile scanning with true-color 2D imaging for automated visual inspection for surface defects into the same sensor package. Built into each sensor are laser projectors for 3D profiling aswell as high power LED's and imagers for surface imaging. With a frame rate of 2 kHz or higher, these sensors provide very high speed inspection capability. One such sensor is the LMI DynaVision chroma+scan 3300 3D profile and color sensor.
Integrating 2D and 3D inspection capability in one sensor package is the first step in simplifying the integrator's tasks. Sensors are provided to the integrator with internal processing able to apply the optical calculation equations and factory developed linearization factors, providing automatic gain control to ensure accurate readings independent of the object surface texture and color, while converting measured values to engineering units.
Using multiple sensors to cover large pieces creates challenges of synchronizing data and stitching multi-sensor data streams into one file. To simplify these tasks, LMI developed a synchronization platform known as FireSync, designed to accept and integrate data from multiple vision sensors and otherl inputs, such as encoders and photocells monitoring parts passing on the conveyor.
Combining 3D measurement and 2D color data in the platform also allows for internal parallax correction of the 2D map that can be caused by the work pieces variation in thickness or movement toward the sensors. This ensures that the 3D profile and the 2D color map match exactly no matter how the work piece is positioned (see graphic).
Moving all that data
Even with smart sensors which internally reduce optical information to engineering measurements, today's sensors can generate hundreds or thousands frames per second, with each frame containing hundreds to thousands of data points. An industrial standard communication protocol simplifies the integrator's job while reducing cost and risk of implementation.
A user can choose from a number of standards, including USB 2.0, FireWire, and Camera Link, which was developed for industrial and scientific imaging. Each of those has useful features, but more recently gigabit Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) has emerged as a favorite and been broadly accepted. It's easy to apply with inexpensive cabling running up to 100 m without repeaters. Data is sent from the platform over a single GigE output cable to the host computer, reducing wiring costs and improving reliability.
Easier, multi-function inspection
Sensor arrays outfitted with combined 2D and 3D sensing simplify the task of integrating complex multi-function inspection systems. With internal data processing in the sensor, multiple sensor synchronization and data stitching provided by the FireSync platform, and standard GigE communications, risk and development costs for the integrator are minimized. Combined function sensors minimize complexity, simplify mounting and cabling tasks, and reduce system cost. When the system is installed, the end user benefits from system simplicity, with reduced maintenance costs and ease of operation.

Serevent is used to prevent asthma attacks. Salmeterol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing. It will not treat an asthma attack that has already begun.
Serevent is also used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
It may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Serevent may increase the risk of asthma-related death. Use only the prescribed dose of Serevent, and do not use it for longer than your doctor recommends. Follow all patient instructions for safe use. Tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 1 week of treatment. Do not use Serevent to treat an asthma attack that has already begun. It will not work fast enough. Use only a fast-acting inhalation medication.
Asthma is often treated with a combination of different drugs. If you use Serevent to treat asthma, you must use it together with another asthma control medication. Use all of your medications as directed by your doctor. Talk with your doctor if your medications do not seem to work as well in treating or preventing attacks. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without advice from your doctor.
If you are using Serevent to prevent exercise-induced asthma, use the medicine 30 minutes before exercising, or as directed by your doctor. Allow at least 12 hours to pass before you use the medicine again.
Serevent Diskus is a powder form of Serevent that comes with a special inhaler device preloaded with blister packs containing measured doses of the medicine. The device opens and loads a blister each time you use the inhaler. This device is not to be used with a spacer.
Use Serevent regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
Do not stop using Serevent without first talking to your doctor. Your asthma symptoms may get worse after you stop using the medication. If you also use a steroid medication, do not stop using the steroid suddenly or you may have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Talk with your doctor about taking less and less of the steroid before stopping completely. Seek medical attention if you think any of your asthma medications are not working as well as usual. An increased need for medication could be an early sign of a serious asthma attack. If you use a peak flow meter at home, call your doctor if your numbers are lower than normal.
Store Serevent at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and sunlight.
Do not try to clean or take apart the Diskus device. Throw it away 6 weeks after you have taken it out of the foil pouch, or if the dose indicator shows a zero, whichever comes first. Each Serevent Diskus device contains 60 doses.
Use only the prescribed dose of Serevent as directed by your doctor.
Store Serevent at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store Serevent away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Throw Serevent away 6 weeks after it is removed from the foil pouch. Keep Serevent out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Active Ingredient: Salmeterol
Serevent is a long-acting beta-agonist bronchodilator. It widens the airways in the lungs, which helps to breathe more easily.
Do not use Serevent if:
you are allergic to any ingredient in Serevent;
you are having an asthma attack (eg, sudden severe onset or worsening of asthma symptoms such as chest tightness, cough, shortness of breath, wheezing).
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Some medical conditions may interact with Serevent Diskus . Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have had a severe allergic reaction to milk protein
if you have a history of liver problems, diabetes, heart problems (eg, fast or irregular heartbeat, heart blood vessel problems), high blood pressure, lowblood potassium levels, seizures, an adrenal gland tumor (pheochromocytoma), or an overactive thyroid
if you have recently been to an emergency room for asthma, have a history of frequent hospitalizations for asthma, or have ever had a life-threatening asthma attack
if you have had an unusual reaction to a sympathomimetic medicine (eg, albuterol, pseudoephedrine), such as fast or irregular heartbeat, overexcitement, or severe trouble sleeping
if you are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) or a tricyclic antidepressant (eg, amitriptyline), or you have taken any of these medicines within the last 14 days
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Serevent Diskus . Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
Azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole), HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir), macrolide antibiotics (eg, clarithromycin), nefazodone, or telithromycin because the risk of fast or irregular heartbeat may be increased
Diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide) because the risk of low blood potassium or irregular heartbeat may be increased
Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors (eg, entacapone), long-acting beta-agonists (eg, fluticasone/salmeterol, formoterol), MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because they may increase the risk of Serevent Diskus 's side effects
Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol) because they may decrease Serevent Diskus 's effectiveness or worsen your condition
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to Serevent: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
chest pain, fast or pounding heartbeats, tremors, shaking, or restless feeling;
skin rash, bruising, severe tingling, numbness, pain, muscle weakness;
wheezing, choking, or other breathing problems after using this medication; or worsening asthma symptoms.
Less serious Serevent side effects may include:
headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, or insomnia;
nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; or
dry mouth or throat irritation.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect.

Lately Lily Travels to Chronicle
Chronicle Books is licensing children's book and sidelines rights for author-illustrator Micah Player's girls' T-shirt and accessories brand, Lately Lily, which launched in 2012. Player's previous projects with Chronicle have included puzzles, a matching game, and a picture book, Chloe, Instead. "We had been wanting to do more with Micah and were keeping tabs on everything he was doing," says Ginee Seo, Chronicle children's publishing director. "This just seemed to call for a publishing component."
The apparel brand is built around a girl who travels with her parents to a different country each season, with visits to Peru and Iceland so far, and Paris coming up. Chronicle's program will launch in spring 2014 with A-B-C flash cards that teach about travel concepts; an activity kit packaged in a yellow suitcase, containing a travel journal, stickers, and activity cards; and a picture book. "We think of Lily as a new franchise character for us," Seo says. Noting that Player's work applies to many of Chronicle's non-book formats, such as flash cards, she notes, "We think Micah has a bright future in children's books, and not just in a traditional way. We're excited to work with a talent who's so versatile."
A Lately Lily mobile app is launching later in 2013. Other products planned for the property, represented by memBrain Licensing, include apparel, accessories, stationery, and room decor for girls ages 2-10. Player, a former creative director of Paul Frank Industries, founded Lately Lily with apparel designer Erin Nichols.
Beatrix Potter's Bunny Featured at BabyGap
BabyGap is launching a limited-edition Peter Rabbit collection of apparel and accessories for girls and boys aged 0-2, through a partnership with Frederick Warne, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers Group. The collection debuted today and features interpretations of imagery from The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Products range from a take on Peter Rabbit's blue sweater to jackets, cardigans, dresses, denim, and onesies.
To promote the clothing and accessories, 30 BabyGap stores will host readings of Penguin's latest Peter Rabbit book, Emma Thompson's The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit, on January 26. Local mommy bloggers will host the events, which will include book drives to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs, organized though children's literary organization Milk + Bookies.
BabyGap officially debuted the collection at an event at The Grove in Los Angeles last Saturday. A number of celebrities attended, including Elizabeth Banks, who read The Further Tale.
Dalmatian and Phidal Head to Care-a-Lot
Dalmatian Press and Phidal Publishing are joining the roster of Care Bears licensees, which already includes Bendon Publishing and Running Press. Dalmatian will sell mass market formats at higher price points ($3 and up), including 8x8 storybooks, coloring and activity titles, and board books, while Phidal will market value-added novelty titles such as sticker book treasuries and "busy books." Bendon publishes value-priced coloring and activity books and educational formats; Running Press offers mini gift and novelty books.
"Adding Dalmatian Press and Phidal really rounds out our children's publishing program," says Lindsay Martinez, director of licensing and business development for licensor American Greetings Properties. "It affords us the opportunity to get into new formats and to offer a range of price points for our core demographic of 2-7."
A CGI-TV series, Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot, launched on The Hub last June—introducing a new character, Wonderheart Bear—and Hasbro is rolling out a new toy line this month. "What's going on with the TV show and the new toy line brings a lot of awareness to the property," says Beth Peters, Dalmatian's director of licensing. "It justifies a higher retail presence."
Apparel, accessories, and stationery, along with publishing, will be introduced by the 2013 back-to-school season, complementing the toys and a new series of four DVDs. "Once our publishers have enough titles on the market, we'll bring them into end caps and tentpole marketing events led by the toys," Martinez says, adding that American Greetings plans to expand into digital publishing categories as well.
Animal Planet Signs Cupcake Digital for Enhanced E-book Apps
Discovery Communications, in concert with the Joester-Loria Group. has licensed Cupcake Digital to produce a series of enhanced e-book apps for children ages 4-7 under the Animal Planet brand. The first title, to be introduced this spring, is Animal Planet Hide and Seek Pets. "The demand for apps in the kids' space is growing exponentially," says JP Stoops, Discovery's director of licensing. "As a forward-looking media company, we want to be aggressive in this space. Animal Planet tends to be age-agnostic and gender-agnostic, and that wide audience is one reason it works well in the apps space, with entire families."
The first title is structured in a storybook format where the user swipes from page to page, with each featuring an interactive element such as a game, puzzle, drawing, or dictation. Although the primary goal of the app is entertainment and not education, all the activities are tied to the Common Core State Standards being introduced in K-12 classrooms in 2013-2014.
In today's media-driven world, "parents feel guilty about all the screen time," says Susan Miller, co-founder and president of Cupcake Digital, which officially launched in August 2012 and has produced apps for the Nick Jr. show Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! "They feel a little less guilty with mobile, because they feel their children need to be versed in technology to succeed. But we want them to feel good about picking up the mobile device. This is like spinach in brownies. [The educational component] is in there, but you don't know it, and it's good for you."
Other digital projects for Animal Planet include Animal Planet Wildlands, a trading-card-and-app product from Nukotoys, the Animal Planet Trivia Challenge app from Zed Worldwide, an internally developed Animal Planet network app, and e-books based on two network series, River Monsters and Pit Boss.
Elmer Crosses the Pond
Knockout Licensing is launching a North American licensing program for Elmer the Patchwork Elephant, by U.K. author-illustrator David McKee, under a deal with master publisher Andersen Press in the U.K. Tamra Knepfer, Knockout's co-president, has been interested in Elmer since seeing merchandise in British stores years ago. "I was seeing Elmer pop up in licensed product displays," she says. "It was Peter Rabbit, Eric Carle, and Elmer."
The plan is to seek out retail partners, including bookstores and specialty retailers, and develop programs that bring together the books and other merchandise such as toys and games, apparel, stationery, and home goods. (Andersen Press previously signed Kids Preferred, which markets a line of plush, wooden pull toys, and puzzles.) "We think the products belong next to the books," Knepfer says, noting that Knockout plans to work with Elmer's U.S. publishers, Lerner and HarperCollins, on cross-merchandising and co-packaging opportunities.
All told, there are 40 Elmer books, which collectively have sold five million copies in 50 languages since 1989, although a relatively small portion of those sales have been in the United States. Knepfer points out that beautiful artwork and a breadth of content, including seasonal themes, is a bonus. "There's a lot to work with, content-wise, from a licensing perspective," she says.
