IRLP Finder

This app will display the nearest IRLP nodes on a map. You can use your current location, or enter an address. A great app for Ham Radio over IRLP.

Click on any node on the map to get connection details. The details include the node’s frequency and tone, and whether the node is idle or not. Free + No Ads.

On the right is the QR code – just scan and it takes you directly to the Android market. If you need a scanner, just search for “QR reader” in the Android Market.

    Just wanted to say thanks for this app. Really works well. Can’t wait to try it out in my travels. Really great to have all the info like frequency and PL tone. We need a Echolink node and a Repeater finder that works just like this. (Food for Thought?)

    Thanks again and Best 73’s,

    We hams need a PSK31 app for android phones. If I knew how to write code (very confusing to me) I would try it myself! Please someone out there, start this!!!!

    Richard, I agree on the need for a PSK31 application. I am surprised one hasn’t been written already. I am learning how to write applications for Android, so this might be a good thing to work on. But don’t expect me to be finished to quickly!

    Installed IRLP Finder from market. Pretty maps – no worky on my SuperPad 2 (android pad) though. No nodes appear on the maps. Can zoom in/out on maps so I believe app is not “frozen”.

    I seem to have a “button” or something in the lower left corner but touching it does nothing.

    I’m running Android 2.1-update 1. I might have some setting needed for IRLP Finder disabled that I don’t know about.

    Have the same problem with Echolink Finder so I suspect a setting in the pad may need investigation…

    I tried to read the manual for trouble-shooting tips or requirements that might guide settings required but I guess I need new glasses for that – didn’t see anything in the manual, didn’t find anything on this site concerning requirements, other than a picture of what to expect on the screen. (tongue-in-cheek paragraph – )

    Sorry for being new to Android stuff but nothing I’ve tried gets it or E-Finder to work for me yet.

    Since I enjoy both IRLP and Echolink operations for many years, I think these two are great ham radio applications. I often operate portable and away from home and thought these would be very useful.

    If I were a programmer (oh wait, I am, just new to Android stuff), I would suspect that the problem stems from some kind of “location error” where the app can’t get my location. I’d guess that it creates an error. If that were the case, I’d imagine that inside the program that it could capture the error and bug me to input my location (for example I’m very close to n32/w102 intersetion) or pop up a message to assure my pad is providing location info or pop up a message telling me that no location is available and close up or…

    If the problem is that it can’t talk to Google stuff correctly or the IRLP or Echolink systems correctly, I reckon that it could pop some type of message advising me to take some type of action.

    Well, y’all get the idea… I haven’t gotten it to work, had some suspicions about it, tested as best I could and then found this website so I could provide some feedback to the programmer…

    Best wishes,

    Hi Scott, Sorry to hear about the problem. When you first start the app, it will just show an empty map, so it looks like that is working fine for you. Next, you need to hit the “Menu” button on your device to bring up the menu. There, click either on “My location” to use your GPS (if you have one), or “Enter Location” and enter a city or zip code etc. This will place a green marker for the search center. Next, bring up the menu again and hit “Search”. This will do the search and show a red marker for each node found.

    Cannot seem to get the app to recognize any location I type it. Installed on Moto Droid X2.

    App shows nodes surrounding my location but will not recognize city, city/state or zip code in “enter location” keeps giving me “no location found for this address.

    Sep 7 2011

    Sorry to hear about the problem. The app uses the standard Google APIs to convert an address to coordinates, so maybe there was a problem with the Google servers or maybe there was a problem with the data connection?

    I just tried it and it worked for me (I tried Pacifica, CA as well as 94044 and both were found okay).

    yup, a psk31 app would be great. i used psk31 on my windows mobile 6.1 smartphone. the app was/is pocketdigi. would be nice to have an app for the new phone =]

    Would you like to add the repeater system of Argentina.
    We recently updated the lists, and includes 144 Mhz, 220 Mhz, 430 Mhz, 1,2 Ghz , Echolink and Dstar repeaters.

    @Horacio – Hi, my app doesn’t actually have a list of any nodes or repeaters, it gets all the information in real time from the IRLP and Echolink websites. So as long as their information is up to date you should see your results in the app.

    The location seems stuck on Long Beach, CA.
    Since I’m currently in Portland, and live in St. Louis, that’s not much use.

    I click on the menu to change to my current location…

    If I click on ‘use my location’, it states “My location is unavailable”
    If I use “enter my location” either via zip code or city and state, the reply is “Could not find a location associated with this address”

    I’m happy too try using a manual to figure it out, but don’t see one on this site.

    Very sorry about this, the official IRLP website seems to have changed its format. Now the app doesn’t understand the response anymore. The app doesn’t have its own directory, it uses the IRLP website for all node info. I haven’t worked on the app for a long time (kids etc) and I don’t know if I can fix it.

    Sorry for the issue, the website changed its output format. I just released an update to the Play store that should fix the issue.

Why Desire For A Son

In almost every country, people prefer to have a son rather than having a daughter. Almost everywhere, birth of a son is celebrated with great festivity. Even in ancient times, kings and able people perform Putreshti Yagya with a desire for a son. Our ancient scriptures abound with scores of such examples.

There are religious, social as well as economic reasons behind the desire of a son. Right from the moment of birth, a person is burdened with three kinds of debts. These are debts due for the gods, debts due for the sages and debts due for the father. One can easily free himself from his debts, which are due for the gods and for the sages. But to be free from the debts due for the father, one must have a son, preferably a physical son.

One, who salves the father from the tortures of hell, is son. The scriptures say that unless and until a real son performs last rites, a person cannot be salved from the tortures of the hell. A son’s duties do not end with the last rites. He has to offer oblations regularly every year in order to appease his dead father and remote ancestors. Socially also, a person who has no son is seen with contempt. Even his wealth is plundered after his death if it had no inheritor. Moreover lineage of such a person ends blindly. Because of all these reasons, everybody longs for a son. It is a son who supports his parents in their retiring life when they become physically weak and frail.

Modi Government’s village electrification is among world’s biggest successes this year : IEA Report

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi-led government’s initiative to bring light to every village in the country is one of the greatest success stories in the world this year, the global energy watchdog International Energy Agency (IEA) said in its latest assessment in the World Energy Outlook 2018. Providing electricity was an important milestone in order to provide modern energy to every person on the earth, said Paris-based IEA, adding that for the first time ever the total number of people with access of energy has gone below 1 billion.

“In particular, one of the greatest success stories in access to energy in 2018 was India completing the electrification of all of its villages…India has been the star performer: in April 2018, the government announced that all villages in the country had an electricity connection, a huge step towards universal household access, it added.

It may be noted that India achieved its goal of 100% village electrification in April this year. During the independence speech in 2015, PM Shri Narendra Modi had announced that all Indian villages will get power within the next 1000 days through the marque Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), with a deadline of 10 May 2018. In April, the government announced that all of India’s 597,464 census villages have been electrified.

In the next phase of its programme, the Indian government is now in the process to ensure that power lines are connected with major institutions and administrative centres of every village as well as every household in the country.

Gold from Kings, Gold from Us

by Kathleen Glavich, SND on December 31, 2014

in Blogs

3KingsIn keeping with the Christmas season, I’m continuing to share excerpts from my book Voices: Messages in Gospel Symbols. Chapter 2 is a meditation on gold: First among the three gifts the kings from the east present to Jesus is gold. Gold is the best they can offer. This most precious metal is a gift for a king, fitting tribute to the newborn king of heaven and earth. The infant is himself God’s gift to us—the Son, the Father’s treasure, not only precious but priceless (though he would someday be valued at only thirty pieces of silver). And this unparalleled gift is the culmination of a world full of golden gifts: sunbeams, dandelions, autumn leaves golden agers, and smiles. God is never outdone when it comes to gift-giving.

What gift can we make in return?  Our all. The power of Jesus enables us to turn the dross of our daily lives into riches; Midas-like, we can change our moments into gold. This alchemy is achieved not by an incantation or a magic potion, but by intention. If we deliberately unite ourselves with Christ and our acts with his saving acts, our lives have consequences of cosmic proportions: they redeem humankind and give glory to God. In surrendering ourselves to God we become his possession and our most mundane actions take on untold value.

How good to be God’s “gold.” We should not fear to be tested and purified by fire. We can accept the pains of misunderstanding, persecution, rejection, illness, the suffering of loved ones, all as somehow essential to our ultimate formation in the furnace of God’s love. There, refined by fire, we grow more worthy to be in God’s presence. Moreover, we take on the qualities of divine love and flame it forth.

Gold is the most malleable and ductile of metals. Yielding easily to the artificer’s touch, it is made useful and beautiful. If we would heed God’s voice urGold-coinsging us to pursue the good, if we would be open to the human instruments God uses to shape us, and if we would respond with trust and hope to what God allows to happen to us, then, to borrow Blessed Mother Teresa’s words, we would truly make our lives something beautiful for God.

Unfortunately for us, instead of being co-creators, we sometimes thwart God’s designs. When we are challenged to choose the difficult, we respond with apathy or we flee. Where we are asked for mercy and understanding, we offer the cold rock of unforgiveness. Where we are invited to share the cross, we cry out in protest. Where we are expected to love and obey, we let pride and stubbornness rule us. Where we could make the time for God to work on us, we afford him only the leftover moments from our days. When we do these things, we are not true gold but fools’ gold.

The value of our lives is augmented only when we learn to let go and let God. This means to give up our preconceived notions of God, ourselves, people, and things and let them be as they are. It means to stop playing tug-of-war when God tries to take something from us. It means to free ourselves from the strangling grip of compulsions. It means to retreat from the frantic race to be a success and just enjoy life. It is to live in the now and not in the past or the future.

Gold has always held a special allure. People have rushed to the ends of the world for it, married for it, fought for it, and killed for it. But the most valuable things in life gold can’t buy: faith, love, peace, wisdom and grace, for instance. We can give away everything and still be rich. Once we divest ourselves of possessions that separate us from God and smother our desire for them, the tapestry of our lives will be shot through with golden threads of goodness, peace, and joy. Our ambition should not be to own a vault of gold, but a heart of gold.

In a way, gold is not the right gift for the king in the manger. What do you suppose he did with it?

Tips for installing ceramic tiles and flooring

There are many factors involved when it comes to installing ceramic material. From the levelling and the type of cement, to the traffic that the pavement will support and the arrangement of the pieces. Everything counts in achieving a flawless result. There’s no point selecting the most spectacular finish or the highest quality tiles for our space if the installation work isn’t correct.

9 June 2020
Inspired by Metropol

Inadequate installation of the ceramic product can tarnish the final result of a space.  A badly done job will ruin the whole project. That's why it's important to follow the following guidelines when it comes to achieving an optimal result.

Before we begin, we need to prepare the tools and materials that will make our job easier. These are the main ones:

- Bonding cement with C-2 adhesion capacity, suitable for installing porcelain tile with water absorption below 0.5%
-Suction cups for handling the pieces
-Manual level, drawing pen and flexometer to make measurements
-Levelling wedges
-Grout paste
-10 mm toothed trowel
-Bucket and mop or sponge
-Cleaning trowel
-Non-rigid flexible rubber mallet
-Adjustable traction clamp

Once we have everything we need, we can start the installation. We will always do this for the tiling process, to avoid possible later damage to the flooring. The most important thing is to respect the space so that the tiles can be installed later.

1. Check the levelling and adjust with self-levelling

The base on which the ceramic tile will be installed must be uniform so that there are no gaps between the tile and the support. During the setting process, it’s possible that small unevennesses may arise between the pieces, so it’s advisable to use levelling mortar to obtain a solid, smooth and uniform support that is totally compatible with the adhesives used before the flooring is installed. The self-levelling agent used can be for indoor or outdoor use. The thickness of the layer will depend on the traffic (light, commercial or industrial use) and the unevenness to be compensated.

It’s important to keep the surface on which the pieces will be placed clean of dust, grease, moisture and other residues.

2. Lay out the master line

The master line should be parallel to the flooring. This facilitates the installation of the first tiles and also makes it possible to use more ceramic material.

3. Decide on the position of the pieces

At Keraben Group, we recommend that deciding how to arrange the pieces is done on the surface itself, taking into account that each of the pieces has a customised design. If we want to achieve a surprising effect, we’ll use different designs on adjacent pieces.

Please note that if the pieces are large they must be handled by two people. To make the process easier, we can use suction cups to achieve greater adhesion and safety.

The Boreal Collection from Keraben

4.Select the right adhesive cement

The adhesive cement used to fix the ceramic has high elasticity and great adhesion. We must select this adhesive based on several factors:

     - The type of ceramic we want to stick
     - The place where we are going to install it (inside or outside)
     - The climatology to which the product will be exposed

The typology of these adhesives is governed by common guidelines to make choosing them easier. It’s based on values of: adhesion, setting, slip and open time. There are different classes for each of these values, depending on their characteristics (normal, improved, fast-setting, low-slip adhesive...).

5. Spread the bonding cement on the levelled surface
We’ll prepare the mix according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the right texture is achieved, and always following the established master line, we’ll spread the bonding cement over the previously compacted and levelled surface.

6. Spread the cement on the ceramic piece
We’ll spread the cement on the ceramic piece to create a double gluing effect on both the support and the piece. Make sure that the cement layer is uniform and has the same thickness on both sides. To do this, we’ll use a toothed trowel with a tooth size of 10 mm. We’ll distribute the adhesive perpendicular to the long side of the piece so that any air that may be underneath can escape.

7. Install the pieces
Once the back of the piece has been glued with the bonding cement, we’ll proceed to attach it to the surface, which we’ll have previously traced with the same cement. Ensure to always follow the traced master line.

To settle the piece, we’ll gently tap it with the flexible rubber mallet and thus eliminate possible air bubbles in the glue cement. We’ll continue placing the rest of the pieces, taking into account that a minimum joint of at least 2 mm must be kept between them. This distance can be maintained with the help of spacer crossheads.

For rectified floors and walls, we recommend
Raimondi's RLS Levelling System or similar. Using levelling systems for installing ceramic tile coverings has become widespread practice in recent years. Using these systems greatly benefits the final quality of the tiling. However, they do require an investment, in terms of both material and time while installing.

Today, there are a wide range of manufacturers and types of levelling systems on the market, each with its own particularities. In general, there are two types of levelling systems: wedge systems, in which the levelling pressure is exerted parallel to the surface of the tile with tongs, and bell systems, in which the pressure is exerted perpendicular to the tile with tongs or a manual threading system.

It’s important to remember that implementing the clamping and levelling system does not preclude continuing to include crossheads. This system does not replace, but rather acts as a complement.

 How do I correctly position the recommended support?

1. Once we’ve spread the adhesive cement, place the supports under the pieces on all 4 sides. For large pieces, use more supports per side.

2. Put the tile in place and hit it with the rubber mallet.

3. Then we have to insert the wedges into the housing, squeezing but not reaching breaking point. To facilitate this task, we recommend using the adjustable traction clamp.

4. Once the adhesive cement has set, simply tap the support in the direction of the joint  with the rubber mallet or your toe to remove it.

The Arc Collection from Metropol

8. Pay attention to joints

There are some general recommendations for dimensioning the width of
a joint, depending on whether it is a tile installation joint (compensates dimensional deviations and is located between tiles); a perimeter joint (reduces stress at meeting points between elements that limit movement); a partition joint (prevents accumulation of expansion and contraction); or a structural joint (absorbs structural movements).

These recommendations can be found on pages 190-191 of our general catalogue, depending on whether the parts are to be installed indoors or outdoors.

9. Select the right grout
Similarly, Keraben Group makes some general recommendations, which can be consulted on pages 191-192 of our catalogue, regarding the grouting material to be used depending on the type of joint, whether the fixing surfaces are inside or outside, and whether the material to be installed is flooring or wall tiling.

10. Apply the grout and remove the excess material
Prepare the grout according to the manufacturer's instructions, lay it in the gap between the ceramic pieces and fix it according to the same instructions. Once the grouting process has been completed, we’ll need to remove the
excess before it hardens.

11. Final cleaning
After laying the tiles, it’s essential to clean them thoroughly to remove joint residues and general dirt from the work. Avoid using abrasive products.

Remember that inadequate installation of the product, aside from deteriorating the appearance of the project, can negatively influence the performance of the pieces used. By following these general instructions, we’ll ensure correct installation of ceramic floor and wall tiles to achieve a perfect result.

The #KLeagueFM17 Challenges: Citizens Unite! [July '17]

The K League Football Manager Challenges - The Incheon United Project

Perched perilously close to the relegation zone, it has been a long time since Incheon United last tasted victory in the league. Fortunately the summer transfer window has arrived and the anticipation surrounding the arrival of a shiny new Spanish winger from Suwon FC has got Matthew Binns' side all excited that there may be good times ahead.

The Challenge: Citizens Unite! Stand up to the Korean Chaebols by leading a citizen club to title glory.

Previous Instalments: Pre-season '16 [Part 1], Pre-season '16 [Part 2], March '16, April '16, May '16, June '16, July '16, August '16, September '16, Post-Split '16, FA Cup Final '16 [Preview], FA Cup Final '16, Pre-Season '17 [Part 1], Pre-Season '17 [Part 2], March '17, April '17, May '17, June '17

July once again starts with me barking directions at my players as we quickly go about setting up the conference room ready for Jaime Gavilan's arrival from Suwon FC. Never mind that we have a game against Sangju to prepare and play before the official opening of the window, this party has to be perfect. We have no money left and this player is our last chance at saving the season. We can't start things on a bad note. Besides, if we cannot get this welcome banner straight, there's no point even bothering drilling the defence on their offside traps.

We revert back to the semi-successful 4-4-2 narrow diamond formation that we employed a couple of times at the tail end of June. It all is seemingly going to plan until, as you can guess by now, it all went wrong. Kim "Gunny" Gun-hee, a player who ran rampant last time we faced Sangju, is picked out from deep in space and is chased down by not one, not two, but eight Incheon players who fail to catch up with him as he nonchalantly taps it past Cho Su-hyuk who effectively stands to one side to let the ball past.

Fortunately, after berating the players at the interval, warning them that "Gavilan won't be coming if we keep playing like this" as if they were naughty children in the run up to Christmas, they go out and find an equaliser within the opening five minutes of the second half. Song Si-woo played through a delightful pass into the path of Jin Seong-wook who made no mistake with just the keeper to beat. Despite our continued efforts though, a draw is the best we can muster, taking our winless run to twelve league matches. Luckily, Busan also lose so we are still tenth and above them.

I wake up early on the morning of the summer transfer window in preparation for Gavilan's arrival. The player won't be here until lunch but I have some unfinished business with our moping striker to take care of first. I call Kevin Oris to my office in the hope of finding a way around his unwillingness to leave. As I cannot afford to mutually terminate his contract, I inform him that he will be deregistered from the squad and would be best to seek out employment elsewhere in the hope of game time.

Rather than see the bigger picture that playing elsewhere would stop his career from stagnating, the now disgruntled striker sees no reason why he should move for lower pay and says he is happy to sit in the reserves and see out his £9k a week contract. The board are going to kill me.

I will not let this get me down though. Today is not about him, it's about a K League Challenge winger who I have signed purely on the basis of a two-legged cup final last December in an act of petty revenge, subsequently risking the financial stability of the club which employs me in the process...

Oh dear God, have I done?!

Still, Jaime (as he lets me call him) seems excited to be here and he does have an impressive playing career with various La Liga clubs cropping up on his CV. He was also by far the highlight of Suwon's ill-fated maiden voyage in the K League Classic, only staying with them to play in the Asian Champions League, which the club qualified for after defeating us in the cup final. Having crashed out of that competition, almost impressively, it is perfectly understandable that the player wants to get his K League career back on track.

With the welcome party over and done with, and hangovers nursed, we line up to face Pohang Steelers at home in a throwback to my preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, but this time with less instructions. With creativity on both wings, and an on fire Velkoski, this could be the moment where are run of bad results finally turn around.

Despite being goalless at half time, it does not take long for Pohang to break our resolve via an unmarked Cho Soo-chul in the 50th minute. I take Gavilan off to rest him after a decent debut and bring on Lee Jin-wook and Park Jong-jin to see out the one goal defeat.

But then, perhaps buoyed by the new found competition at the club, or perhaps the news feeding through to the stands that Busan are winning and we are heading into the relegation spots, something strange happens. Park Jong-jin sets up Velkoski to tap in a far post equaliser in the 81st minute before, deep into stoppage time, the striker grabs his second of the game and we claim our first three points since April. I'm running laps of my technical area, unsure exactly what to do with myself. This could be our turning point!

Next up is the FA Cup quarter final where we will play host to K League Challenge side Ansan Mugunghwa. Naturally we are overwhelming favourites for this, but odds do not seem to work in our favour most of the time.

I opt to play something very similar to the starting lineup against Pohang. Our new asset looked good in the time that he was on, but perhaps could do with a slight confidence boost to get his Incheon career on track. Some lower league opposition should be ideal for him.

And it certainly was! We cruise into the semi-finals with little issue, recording a 2-0 victory with the new man finding himself once on the score sheet and with an assist for the other. Considering we had 22 shots to their six though, we perhaps should have done better. It does not matter though, we continue on course for our third consecutive cup final. I can only hope the draw will be kind to us.

Jang Eun-soo can sod off and support someone else if all he is bringing to the table is negativity.
Having fell to Busan 3-0 in the previous round of league fixtures, Jeonbuk have parted ways with their recently appointed manager Park Kyung-hoon, despite sitting in sixth. After the way they prised Kim Chan-hee from me in the pre-season though, and then have to cheek to never play him, I have little sympathy. Despite the club speaking with Kim Hak-bum as a potential replacement, they will still be managerless when we verse them and we must do our best to capitalise on this.

After the recent high that was then Pohang victory, our league ambitions our quickly doused in the cold water of reality. Possibly freed from the shackles that was their previous manager, Jeonbuk go about their business in the manner that once upon a time saw them as regular title challenges. Our attack doesn't look too bad, but we are naive in defence, put to the sword twice by a criminally unmarked Luiz.

We opt to write it off though and move on. Our fifth and final game of the month sees us take on Seongnam in Tancheon, a side that has thrashed us on multiple occasions both this season and last. As we make hour-long bus ride around the edge of Seoul, I notice Gavilan, my shining beacon of hope and joy, dozing off on the team bus in his specially designated seat next to me. I should rest him here, he clearly needs it. Let the other lads slog it out and Gavilan can enter play later on when those nasty Seongnam players are all tired out.

Despite boasting Barcelona's Lee Seung-woo in their strike force, Seongnam look ineffective up front, creating very little against our paper thin defence. It takes thirty minutes before first blood is drawn and, given our recent performances against them, I am shocked that it us draw it. Seongnam defender Kwak Hae-seong has a lapse in concentration, under hitting a back pass to his keeper which Velkoski seizes upon and slots past the keeper. We make it to half time with our lead still intact. I look at my players faces, encrusted with mud and reeking of sweat, then glance across to Gavilan, who now seems well rested and somehow bathed in a ray of sunlight streaming in through the dressing room window, and I decide to hook Park Se-jik, move Jin Seong-wook over to the left and bring on the winger.

Fifteen minutes later and it's two. Gavilan has come on and had an almost immediate impact, threading a splendid through ball into the path of Velkoski who claimed his second with ease. Another quarter of an hour later and Velkoski has got his third. This time a low cross in from Jin Seong-wook is converted with ease at the near post. Seongnam struggle and ultimately fail to get themselves back into the game, getting a man sent off in the closing stages, meaning we move five points clear of the relegation zone, despite still being in tenth for now.

It may only have been a few games, but our prospects seem to be on the up. We have made it to the semi-final of the cup and have finally returned to winning ways as look to push ourselves up from the near the foot of the table for what would be an unlikely top half-finish. What's more, we have a new hero for the fans to take to.

The board don't see it like that though, complaining that the finances on the deal could risk damaging the already fragile sustainability of the club. When I tell them to think of the shirt sales though, they point to the fact we've made a paltry £500 on replica kits this month, with 4% being non-domestic (Thanks, Mum).

Still, it doesn't matter what they say. Our saviour has arrived.

The form and style of this piece takes it's inspiration from the fantastic Championship Manager series written by Iain Macintosh on The Set Pieces website. You can read that particular series here.

Art in the Streets featured at Geffen MOCA in Little Tokyo, LA.
All Photos by Label Networks

Street art and graffiti have always created a stir in the social consciousness of America and other cultures, not only for its freedom of expression in public spaces, but how the subculture of art has been hijacked, many think, but advertisers hoping to bring cred to a brand. But so goes the flow of marketing and the ironic origins of the movement that were as anti-marketing as it could get. Unless of course, one considers a tag as marketing of an individual artist.

“Art in the Streets” exhibition which is running from April 17-August 8, 2011 in downtown LA in Little Tokyo at the Geffen MOCA Museum is drawing massive crowds who, for many, are seeing the top global street and graffiti artists for the first time. The curators include Jeffrey Deitch, Aaron Rose, and Roger Gastman -all masters at creating interesting art shows and legends in the scene of street culture.

Andre from Paris and NYC featured prominately at the exhibition.

Capturing the beginning of graffiti styles, the exhibition takes the viewer from American housing projects and bleak subway yards in the ’70’s, to the “Wild Style” in New York with Fab Five Freddy, to the Sex Pistols’ Jamie Reid artwork and God Save the Queen, through to the cholo gang graffiti in East LA, and surf and skate culture in Venice, CA.

While wondering through the maze of different fonts, styles, colors, and messages, the show moves into large areas featuring Banksy, video productions from Cheryl Dunn and JR, Space Invader PacMan tiles, Andre’s stick figure man, Swoon’s massive stencil and paper cutouts, and Miss Vans faces on a rotating wheel.

Miss Van%uFFFDs spin the wheel.

The show is clearly a Who’s Who of artists, including Shepard Fairey, NeckFace, Mister Cartoon, Margaret Kilgallen, Retna, Barry McGee, Futura, and Kaws, but that being said, the show has come under criticism for the fact of who it’s also missing, such as important figures like Kofie, Zevs, and ManOne. It also helps to know the artists before you entire the madhouse because after the initial chronology, the place opens up to large rooms that are not easily defined, which is many ways, representative of the plethora and growth of street art and graffiti once it hit the ’90’s and 2000’s. The scene last weekend indicated that people of all ages are intrigued by graffiti and street art, but some older couples could be seen clearly shaking their heads and looking on with quizzical looks of bewilderment especially at the fonts and messaging.

The original work from Jamie Reid, the artist who created the look for the Sex Pistols.

For a new generation of youth culture, however, as we continuously chronicle in Label Networks, street art, graffiti, and their creators have created a movement that extends beyond art into changing the game of advertising, marketing, and culture jamming. Still on the lookout from getting busted by cops for their covert work in public spaces, on the flipside, many top artists in the genre are in serious demand from brands hoping to utilize the artists’ cred to translate into greater sales. Therein lies the irony, which is as ironic as Art in the Streets being featured for the first time in an American museum, and previous controversy when Blu and even JR’s pieces featured outside the museum and parking areas nearby, where whitewashed away.

Shepard Fairey area.

While there is a great deal of cool street art outside while waiting in line to enter the museum, the impact is upon entrance when you actually see all of this outside art, in one warehouse of an area, from artists around the world -many of whom still cover-up with hoodies, masks, or are completely incognito (Banksy). And there stands their freedom of expression. Creating a movement that has taken the world by storm, most notable recently, across parts of China.

Street art and graffiti is a movement that is still evolving, moving into altogether new spaces such as made-for-video performances or art revelations only. Or utilizing embedded QR codes to send even larger messages. Public environments make up the canvas and as they change, so too will the movement of street art and graffiti.

Among the amazing, colorful areas in the exhibition.

Old school…trains were where it was at and still continues today. King 157 is among the top in this genre.

This mural was enormous.

Some of the street art outside the musuem, including OS Gemeos creation stunned the crowd as they waited to enter.

RETNA from 7th Letter crew.

Huge section dedicated to Banksy. We were wondering if he was there for the install.

Car culture is obviously a huge part of graffiti and street art, especially old classics and lowriders.

This area was called the Fun House, featuring many font street artists such as Futura, Risk, Push, and Barry McGee.

Blurry shot from a video from JR out on his latest project InsideOut for which he won the TED Prize. This was from the favela%uFFFDs in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Carnival fonts and artwork from the late street artist Margaret Kilgallen.

Graffiti art behind President Reagan.

Exit through the giftshop…

Swoon%uFFFDs incredible stencils and cut-outs. This piece was enormous and had reflecting shadows on curtains.

Space Invaderwas one of the artists on the outside and inside.

Low-Bush, Brett Belgian Pale aged Blueberries & Oak

Some of the best home brewed beers don't necessarily start off as originally intended.  This beer for example, was planed as a homage to a Belgian Pale ale.  A style I've haven't brewed before. After pitching the yeast and not seeing any activity for 3 grueling days last September, I knew something was wrong.  I also happened to have freshly built up dregs of Logsdon Seizon Bretta ready for another project in my homebrewery.  500ml of solid slurry was way to temping to pass up in a effort to save this unfermented wort.  (I did do a warm fermentation test on the wort, it came back clean, so tossing the batch was out of the question)

I pitched the built up Logsdon Brett (which I named LB-Logsdon internally here at the house) into the 3 day old wort at 65 degrees.  A little colder than I would of normally pitched Brett, but under the conditions I thought it was best to get something into the wort to start the fermentation off as quickly as possible.  The yeast did take a while to get going at this temperature.  Over the next couple of days as the yeast warmed, fermentation quickly caught up.  No pellical was visible while in primary with the Brett yeast.  However when I moved this beer into my plastic sour carboy #6, a pellical started within a week.  This carboy previously contained Brett, Lacto and Pedio for a Flanders Red.  Even though this was cleaned, I fully expected some microorganisms to migrate over into this batch due to the plastic.   Influencing it in some way or another.  This beer sat at ambient garage temperature for 5 months with little to no change.

Almost 40 days ago, I did a gravity reading and the beer was at 1.006.  It also tasted surprisingly good in its current state.  So I did what any other homebrewer would do.  I racked it onto 6 pounds of frozen Blueberries inside a sanitary keg at forty degrees.  Placing it in my lagering fridge along with one Honeycomb of Red Oak.  This was over a month ago.  (Plus Co2 priming time)  Today its on tap at my house, was it all worth it?  Lets find out.

Aroma: Lactic tartness coupled with Blueberries sourness.  Somewhat sweet aroma lingering aroma.

Appearance:  Some residual hazing from the fruit is left over in the final product. (I didn't use any clearing agents, it was clear before the Blueberries) Pouring a dark purple with highlights of cherry red along the edges.  Nice big bubbles creating a 1/2 thick head.  Consistent bubbling up the side of the tulip during the tasting.  The head vanishes at about 15 seconds, leaving behind a thin resilient lacing creating head on top of the liquid.

Flavor:  Fantastic beer.  It almost has a lactic fermentation quality.  Close to a BerlinerWeisse, Tart and sweet at the same time.  The blueberries are a little overpowering on the delicate beer style, however it works.  (Might lower the fruit to 1# per gallon vs 1.5# per gallon on rebrews) As the beer warms. it goes into a gritty-ness I associate with Brett primary fermentations.  Vanilla notes also start to show up from the HoneyComb Red Oak on the back end.  (I did rack the HoneyComb into the keg at serving to continue the aging process)

Mouthfeel: On the verge of sparkling.  The carbonation bubbles dance in my mouth.  Its thinner than most styles but not watery like expected.  The residual sugar left over from the fruit addition is needed in this beer, as I stopped the ferment.

Overall Impression:  I drank three pints during the Tasting Session for this beer.  That says a lot about how much I love this beer.  Only netting 4-ish or so gallons is going to go quick the way I'm pouring this one.  I already have a couple rebrews on the upcoming calendar for this beer.  Maybe one with Peaches or Mangos?

This base style is perfect for a fruit beer.  Normally I find fruit beers to one directional and to sweet (forward) for me.  Creating this all "Sour" style really pushes out the flavors I don't like while letting the good, beneficial flavors influence the end product.  Cold crashing and then adding the fruit is critical for this result.  Like I stated above, this base recipe will really come into play here at home in future batches.  Even with the hurtles this beer faced at the start of fermentation, you can save a good beer if done correctly.  You can not however save a bad beer, while covering up the mistakes with fruit.  Remember that and drink up.

Primary Fermentation:  I pitched a Belgian Yeast strain on this one, after a week with no activity I pitched a Logsdon Brett Culture.  Within a day it was going full force.
Secondary Fermentation:  I racked the wort onto a plastic (full sour) carboy.  Pellical developed within a month.  Let sit for 6 months.
Tertiary fermentation:  I racked the beer into a keg and added 6 pounds of frozen Blueberries for 30 days at 41 degrees.

  1. What do you think happened with the original fermentation? Temp problems? I like the idea of the blueberries in this beer-the hop additions are pretty much coincidentally perfect for having fruit added (hops and fruit are not always best friends, it seems to me). Also, what blueberries did you use? Oregon brand?

    1. When I did the starter, I remember the yeast being slimy..I think I even sent you a picture of it. So if it was good, we will never know now.

      As for the blueberries, they were frozen from Ralph's. Nothing fancy. Just defrosted and smashed.

Thanks for Commenting, Prost!

Life Lessons

A couple of weeks ago there was a viral YouTube video of a popular actor giving an acceptance speech at an awards show for teens.  In his speech, he actually gave some pretty solid advice.  And after watching that video I wondered what I might say to a group of teens. What would be the three most important things I would share to a stadium full of our future?

So in an alternate reality world where I would be nominated for, win, and then subsequently deliver an acceptance speech for a Teen Choice Award, here are the things I would share:

1. People matter.  All people matter.  Whether they are funny, smart, good-looking, the same color as you, know how to use an iphone, or none the above, all people matter.  People matter because they matter to God.  And His grace transcends all human qualifications for acceptability.  And if we love God, and He loves people, then we should love people too.

And what does the "people matter" idea look like in practical living?  Listening.  Spending time.  Not judging.  Having no expectation.  Realizing God loves them too.  Setting aside looking cool if it means touching someone's heart.  Take the time to invest in people ... because they all matter.

2.  Stuff doesn't matter.  Stuff is of very little importance, especially if and when it compromises the idea that people do matter.  You can have all the stuff in the world but if it ranks higher in importance than the people around you, you have your priorities wrong.

Remember this scripture passage: though I speak with the tongues of angels, but have not love ... I have nothing (1 Corinthians 13 1-3).  Let me take some creative liberties to illustrate my point:

Though I have an awesome car and can fill the tank up completely every time, but don't have love, I am just like an annoying sound to those around me.  If I have the most awesome outfits and designer handbags but don't have love, I am nothing.

And some actual scripture:

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven ...
Matthew 6:19

Stuff is never more important than people.  Ever.

3. Pursue wisdom like your life depended on it.  Because it kinda does.

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding; for her (wisdom's) proceeds are better than the profits of silver, and her gain than fine gold.  She is more precious than rubies, and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.  Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand riches and honor.
Proverbs 3:13-16

Wisdom isn't just knowing things.  Wisdom is discernment, insight, and good sense.  Wisdom is applying scripture to your everyday life.  It is fearing God first and foremost and living accordingly.  It is finding someone you respect and admire and learning how they got that way.  And they likely didn't become an awesome role model by ignoring people, acquiring stuff, and parading around in ignorance.  Just sayin'.

People matter, stuff doesn't really matter, and wisdom should be pursued tenaciously.  Don't forget it.

How about you?  What would be on your heart to share to a stadium full of teens?

  1. Love your list. Ashton's was great too, I thought. I guess mine would depend on the audience - a Christian (or mostly Christian) audience, or a regular/secular one. I'd have to think about it more, but for a regular crowd of kids/people, I'd tend to focus more on character and stuff, and for Christians, on what it means to live in Him.

  2. Pretty much all of this. Love it. :)

  3. I don't know how I missed this post! I love it so much! I was actually quite surprised at Ashton's talk. John and I watched it together and both thought it was solid advice. I especially loved how he said that he never had a job he was better than. I loved the humility there (since he's a bajillionaire and all now) haha.

    Your list is perfect. People matter. Stuff doesn't. Seek God's wisdom. Exactly.

Our History

The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts was established through a collaboration between Mark Featherstone-Witty RNOM OBE (LIPA's Founder) and Sir Paul McCartney, and has achieved much in its first 20 years:

1989 – Sir George Martin introduces Mark to Paul, and they quickly see the opportunity to combine their separate aspirations – Paul’s to save the building that housed his old school, and Mark’s to create a second multidisciplinary institution that prepared people for survival in arts and entertainment (the first had been The BRIT School). Combined, these aspirations created the first brand new higher educational institution in living memory – a development that some government bureaucrats did their best to hinder.

1996 - LIPA was officially opened by Her Majesty The Queen on 7th June.

2003 – Mark’s keenness to spread the LIPA philosophy saw the establishment of the first LIPA 4-19 academy in Liverpool, which opened with 200 students.

Today, LIPA is an acknowledged part of the UK’s higher education provision for the performing arts, providing degree-level learning for both performers and those who make performance possible.  By uniquely blending specialist and generic skills, LIPA’s unique curriculum enables students to collaborate as much as possible - after all, every performance event requires team work.

LIPA offers degree courses in Acting, Community Drama, Dance, Music Theatre and Entertainment Management, Music, Sound Technology, Theatre and Performance Design and Theatre and Performance Technology.  It also runs full-time one year Foundation Certificates in Acting and Musical Theatre, Commercial Dance and Popular Music and Sound, and also combines performance, technical innovation and business awareness.

LIPA has an enviable record of its graduates gaining sustained work in the performing arts. Every year it conducts a survey of its graduates, three years after they have graduated. For the past four years, it has traced on average 85% of each year group and, of these, on average 93% are in work and 82% are working in the performing arts.

Currently, LIPA has 787 students who are either studying on one of its eight degree programmes or on one of its three Foundation Certificate programmes. Some 231 of those students are from 36 international countries. As well as helping students develop themselves for their future professions, LIPA's impressive mix of nationalities also helps its students build strong international links.

Similarly, LIPA 4-19 has continued to grow since its inception, and now has over 600 students attending on Saturdays or Sundays, with a sister branch in Maghull. There are also LIPA 4-19 Associate Academies across the country too.

I hate my name.

For as long as I can remember, I have disliked my given name, “Loni.” The combination of sounds (an “ah” followed by an “ee”) has always sounded surly and masculine to me. Partly because I dislike it and partly because I have negative associations with my mother using it, I inwardly cringe when someone uses it to get my attention or in conversation. This is actually counter to one of the most widely accepted techniques for influencing someone. From 10 Psychology Tricks You Can Use to Influence People:

Dale Carnegie, the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People, believed that using someone’s name was incredibly important. He said that a person’s name is the sweetest sound in any language for that person. A name is the core part of our identity, and so hearing it validates our existence, which makes us much more inclined to feel positively about the person who validated us.

I would contend that this isn’t the case for people who have grown up disliking the sound of their own name. I usually ask close friends not to use my name unless it absolutely can’t be avoided.

Why don’t I like it?

A more popular spelling of the same phonetic is “Lonnie” which is almost exclusively used by men. Consider this popularity over time chart for the two spellings:

Not only did my parents give me a name that is pretty uncommon, the few people who happen to share it – phonetically speaking – are mostly male. As a result, people I don’t know typically assume that I’m a man (regrettably, that could actually be helpful).

I was born in 1981, at the height of the popularity of the female version of the name (although, as a name, it was still pretty unpopular). This was no doubt related to the then-popularity of actress Loni Anderson, whose filmography credits were less socially impactful than her high-profile divorce from actor Burt Reynolds in the early ‘90’s. Although my mother always assured me that the name choice had nothing to do with the actress, I can’t help but think that she would have had to have turned somewhere else for inspiration had Loni Anderson not been well known at the time.

Why not change it?

My husband has been historically resistant to my desire to change my name. I suspect that having a gender-normative, common name like Chad probably means he can’t understand how frustrating having such an unconventional name can be. I wanted to change my name when we got married since it seemed like it would be a convenient time to do so, but he talked me out of it. I wanted to change it again after our son was born, but he didn’t hesitate to point out that we had named our son – Colin – by combining parts (in my case, all) of our two names.

There is also the consideration of my screen name, Loni2Shoes. “Loni two shoes” was a diminutive used by my father when I was growing up, derived from the phrase “goody two shoes” (if you knew me in school, you would understand). Unsurprisingly, he dropped the moniker as I got a little older. I adopted it as my screen name while in college, and have considerable online history associated with it. (Actually, this could be a reason in favor of changing it!)

Why not use my middle name?

A lot of people who dislike their given first name choose instead to go by their middle names. Unfortunately, my middle name is Therese which is weird and only marginally better than Loni. The correct pronunciation is such that it rhymes with “Perez” which I don’t like, and I can’t abide the thought of deliberately mispronouncing it (some people mispronounce it such that it rhymes with “Clarice”). When our family relocated last April, I briefly considered asking everyone I met to address me as “Lana” and, even though only the vowels are different between the two names, it felt weird – like asking to instead by addressed as Jennifer or Susan. I’m afraid that only a legal name change would make me comfortable asking to be called something different.

What would I change it to, if I did?

I don’t have a strong objection to having a less common name. I never envied Jennifer S. or Emily B. when I was in school (well, not for their names anyway). I would probably want a name that’s not super-common, maybe something older. Here are a few ideas I have considered, some with middle names and some without:

I already discussed – and rejected – the possibility of trying to go as “Lana” without officially changing my name. I like the “ah-ah” phonetic of this name surprisingly more than the “ah-ee” of mine. Disappointingly, the recent rise to fame of Lana Del Rey (who I like) makes this name less appealing.

Save the cheerleader, save the world. The most iconic Claire I can think of is Claire Bennet from Heroes played by Hayden Panettiere. I think I could see myself as a “Claire” (minus the limb regeneration).

Honestly, how could anyone who watched Scooby Doo not like the name “Daphne”? (Unless you happened to prefer Velma, but no one could seriously consider changing their name to Velma, could they?) It would almost feel like a betrayal to the name if I didn’t color my hair red, though. The story of Daphne and Apollo is also one of my favorites in Greek mythology.

Lily Avalon
I like the name Lily because it preserves some aspects of my given name but sounds much more feminine. The “Avalon” is a hat tip to my Irish background, a nod that’s otherwise pretty hard to give since most Irish names are next-to-impossible to pronounce correctly. I could easily see myself going by “Ava” when I get older, and the “lon” in “Avalon” would be a way of preserving that part of my name. I have been told that “Lily” sounds airheaded, and that I wouldn’t be taken seriously as a “Lily” to which I responded, “You take me seriously?”

What do you think? Is my son’s name (Colin) enough of a reason not to change my name? Are there any ways to get over dislike of your own name (preferably such that it doesn’t sound like nails on a chalkboard)? Have you ever changed or considered changing your name (outside of changing your maiden name, of course)?

(Lest any of my close friends feel the need to overshare, my original given name was “Misty Lynn”; at least I dodged that bullet!)

17 thoughts on “I hate my name.”

    1. I forgot to mention that 90% of the substitute teachers I had in school seemed to deliberately mis-pronounce my name in the most obnoxious way: LOH-nee or, worse, Looney. REALLY??

  1. Funny – you’re the first Loni I’ve met, and I never made the connection to Loni Anderson or thought you had an odd name. I like it. And when I later met a boy “Lonnie”, I thought he had a girl name.

    Every name has downsides. I’ve got one of those common, gender-normative names, and sometimes I end up in meetings or on emails with two others with the same name. So you get called your last name instead of your name.

    Anyway, I’ve always liked your name. It’s a personal decision, and I’ll do my best to call you whatever you’d like. But for what it’s worth, I like Loni. I think it’s feminine, cute without being weak or cheesy, and uncommon enough to be interesting without being completely weird. Kind of like you. 🙂

    1. I agree with Chris. While I’ve known a guy or two named Lonnie, I have always associated the name with you. Therefore, I have only positive and feminine associations with it. However, I also never realized it caused you such distress. That being the case, and as difficult as it is to associate someone with a new name, I have always loved Claire (WAY before the cheerleader) and also like Avalon. Lily… well, just doesn’t seem to fit IMHO. Plus, Loni would be a perfectly explicable nickname for Avalon.

      A rose by any other name… 🙂

  2. @Chris: Your post makes me feel tons better about my name. The manager at Kroger last night who helped me locate the $3.99/lb. T-Bones was actually named Lonnie. I decided not to point out that we had the same name in case he’s similarly sensitive about its androgynous nature. Thanks for the super-sweet comment.

    @Renee: I think I like Claire Avalon, too… and I really like the idea of “Loni” being a derivative of the middle name, for those who are forgetful! Of course, then our immediate family would include Connie, Chad, Colin, Claire with two cousins Christa and Chelsey. Maybe we can get a bulk rate on capital C’s.

  3. You’re the only Loni I know and I, too, think of it as a feminine (and beautiful) name! But I’d happily call you whatever you’d prefer and I think all of your choices are pretty! (BTW my name is technically masculine [son of Alice]). 🙂

    1. I didn’t realize that your name meant “son of Alice”! I’ve always loved your name and it would totally have been on “the list” if I didn’t know you. 🙂

  4. I’ll call you what you want. From now on, you are Auntie LaLa until further notice. 😉
    I hated having the most popular girl name of the early 80’s, and it still sucks. Anytime I go to the doctor and they say “Jennifer,” at least 4 girls stand up. Then I was stuck with Randi as the middle name, (which is now legally CHANGED AND GONE FOREVER) which is not only a boy name with an “i” but a damn stripper name. (My dad chose his favorite twin between Candy and Randi from some weird ass TV show called “BJ the Bear,” which is a show about truckers and apes. No, I am not making this up. At least I didn’t get Candi or Bambi, but jesus). Right now, Matt and I are struggling on picking a good middle name for our daughter where I want something unique and Filipino and he wants normal. The fight goes on!

    1. Haha, I can totally dig being Auntie LaLa. I didn’t realize you’d changed your middle name. What did you change it to? Was it when you got married? You changed it to something Jean Grey-related, didn’t you. Chad and I had a similar fight when it came time to name Colin. He wanted something “ordinary” that wouldn’t get him “beaten up” and I wanted something “fancypants” and exceptional. We luckily found a happy compromise with Colin (his middle name is Daniel, Chad’s middle name and Chad’s father’s first name).

  5. Well, honestly, I’ve never thought about your name so intently. When I think of you, your name is such a small part of that. Because of who you are, though, I associate your name with a very feminine female. Not only that, someone who is definitely unique and intelligent. You are also very beautiful so Loni is kind of sexy too. Maybe we make our names fit us and not the other way around.

    BUT, you obviously unhappy with it so, it wouldn’t be the craziest thing to change it. It would take some getting used to for your friends and family…

    1. Thank you for saying that you think I’m feminine (and for using the word “sexy” to describe me!). I love the idea of making our names fit us but I’ve tried and tried to accept my first name and just can’t. It might have something to do with my wackadoodle, now-estranged parents: after all, despite being a firmly-entrenched feminist, I couldn’t change my maiden name fast enough when Chad and I got married. 🙂

  6. (I resisted the urge to use your name to address you in this comment.)

    I, like my brother, have always liked your name. I have a strong memory of jealousy of the “cool, unique, smart” girl that was such good friends with my brother. I remember wondering how it was someone was so comfortable in their own skin and didn’t feel the need to stoop to the level of all the other idiots around us. (Yet managed not to be condescending all the while.)

    I have met two other Loni’s in my life and they were both compared to you. I honestly thought the guy, Lonny, was named a girl’s name.

    Obviously, do whatever you feel the need to but I feel that you rock your name.

    – Laura

    1. My head is spinning at the idea that you ever experienced a pang of jealousy towards me. ^_^ You were the “IT” girl in high school and, from avidly following you on Facebook, you’re still as beautiful and charismatic as you were then. 🙂 Thanks for the incredibly sweet comments, nonetheless; I wish we had had the opportunity to be better friends (of course, then you would know the truth about how uncomfortable I was in my own pale skin 😉 ).

  7. I’ve often considered when moving to a new location (also frequently prompted by my father to do so) to have people start calling me Cait or Caity or even get more people to attempt to properly pronounce Caitriona. But I always end up sticking with Cathy because whenever people call me something different, it takes me a moment to realize they’re talking to me. I’m sure that’s something that I could overcome over time, though. Also when I was a kid I used to want my name to be Caitlyn and tried to get people to call me that instead. It didn’t work, though. >_< People still called me Cathy. I don't know if the sharing those experiences aided you in anyway. The only other thing I would have to say is that I think if your name bothers you that much, it's like anything else in life. You need to do what makes you happy to be happy. Everyone else will work it out, especially since they truly love you.

  8. Well – I have known you as Loni – so to me it seems that Loni fits you perfectly. You are the only Loni I know, outside of Loni Anderson (who was super cool when I was a kid). And since I tend to visually see words and names, I have always seen your name as a feminine name.

    As a kid, my dad had a friend named Lonnie and I always thought if his name as being feminine. Traditional names, outside of some Italian names, ending in the ‘ie’ sound always came across as feminine to me – Terry, Christy, Peggy, Lori, Jenny, Suzy, Penny, Fanny, Melanie, Jamie, Janie, Lanie, (Candy and Bambi nod to a previous post) etc. In fact, in the past I have actually spent time thinking of names that end in ‘ie’ that could be used as names for men.

    Having said that, I can somewhat sympathize, I never cared for Bryant. It is unusual and I don’t like to to stand out. It is a last name – who wants to be named after a last name, and when it isn’t, it is generally associated with African Americans, which of course I am not. I don’t dislike my name anywhere near enough to have ever seriously considered changing it. I don’t know if I would feel comfortable with any other name. There are names I like, like Jay and Mark, but I sure don’t feel like a Jay or a Mark, and the few times I have felt the need for an alias, I go with Jay Marcus.

    So – I wouldn’t write unless I had some suggestions.
    1.) Colin will just have to change his name to something more suitable. Thereby, you can change your name. And having set a precedent, he can just change his name once he hits 18 to whatever name his personality desires. After all, if you are thinking it now, Colin might act on it later. And wouldn’t it suck if he changed his name when he is 20, forcing you to live with Loni all those years.
    2.) Chad changes his name to Lonnie, you to Claire. Colin is now set, with Lonnie now representing most the letters and you the ‘C’. And Lonnie can now see how the name fits.
    3.) Change your name to something including the letters LONI (So as to not disturb the continuity you created with Colin’s name). I really couldn’t come up with much, but I am throwing this out there just in case someone else is more clever. Some options: Lioness Huff (My Favorite) or maybe Lorin, or Oliana (close to Lana).
    4) Go Prince. Pick a symbol and stick with it.
    5) Change your middle name to whatever the heck you want and everyone can just deal with it as you go with your middle name.
    6) Study other languages which have different phonetics for the various letters “No really, just because it is spelled L-O-N-I does not mean it is not pronounced Anna Marie Sunlight is Evil”

  9. I hate my name I always thought that mine was TOO feminine. I am the motorcycle loving leather wearing mud throwing tomboyish girl. Then to make it worse my own parents called me lilly and my teachers and my classmates, because they thought it was pretty. whats worse than that when tried to change my nickname to lyle pronounce lie-lee everyone asked but why would you want to do that lilly is so pretty No its not I hated it and I still do and no one ever takes me seriously bcause of my awful princessey name ugghhh I want to change it soo bad too bad I cant because i’m not of legal age yet. I even tried getting people to call me ann but to no avail I will always hate my name until I can change it.

Louisville ASHRAE October Chapter Meeting (Virtual)
Louisville ASHRAE October Chapter Meeting (Virtual)

Wednesday, October 21, 2020
Please join us for the third chapter meeting of the 2020-2021 ASHRAE year!

This chapter meeting will be held virtually

Topic: Answers to the Biggest Questions About Aerosols, COVID-19 & HVAC Systems

On September 18th, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) appeared to acknowledge that coronavirus could be spread by aerosols. It posted guidance on its website listing aerosols among the ways the virus spreads and saying there was growing evidence the airborne particles can remain suspended and travel beyond 6 feet. But three days later, that guidance was gone. A note in its place said a draft had been posted in error and that the CDC was still working on the update. For several months now, science has backed up the claim that COVID-19 can and does spread through aerosols.

Once the CDC, the WHO and other governing bodies acknowledge this, how will it effect our industry?
In this webinar, we will cover general questions about aerosols, their ability to transmit COVID-19, and ways to protect building occupants from aerosol transmission. The roles ventilation, filtration, and HVAC systems play in aerosol movement and transmission will also be discussed.

Presenter: Luke Powell, WELL AP, LEED AP, Vice President Air Equipment Company

Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Cost: $15

(1) PDH will be available

Parasite Positive Cover Picture

Parasite Positive

Scott Westerfeld

Published 2007          276 pages

One year ago, Cal Thompson was a college freshman more interested in meeting girls and partying in New York City than in attending his biology classes. Now, after a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named Morgan, biology has become, literally, Cal's life.

Cal was infected by a parasite that has a truly horrifying effect on its host. Cal himself is a carrier, unchanged by the parasite, but he's infected the girlfriends he's had since Morgan and all have turned into the ravening ghouls Cal calls peeps.

The rest of us know them as vampires. And it's Cal's job to hunt them down before they can create even more of their kind....

The Review

First things first.  For readers in the US, Parasite Positive is published under the title of “Peeps.”  So if you’re reading this and thinking, “Hey, that book sounds just like Peeps” it’s because it is Peeps!  Now - book identity established, I’ll get on with the review.

Scott Westerfeld has written many novels both for adults and teenagers.  Parasite Positive is written for the young adult market but I had to keep reminding myself of this fact as I was reading the novel.  Unlike most of the young adult novels that I have read recently Parasite Positive doesn’t feature school or college as the main location and perhaps it is this lack of educational location that makes this novel seem less like a teen read and more like a book for readers of any age.

Parasite Positive is told in first person by nineteen year old Cal, whose whole life revolves around parasite containment since his own unfortunate parasitic infection.  He is one of the few rare people who are partially immune to the effects of the parasite.  So while he gets the benefits of infection, a fast metabolism, increased life span, night vision and super human strength, he gets none of the bad effects of infection.  This is good because the bad effects - such as an intolerance of daylight and a hatred of everything previously loved, followed by madness and cannibalism - are really undesirable.  He spends his time working for a mysterious and highly bureaucratic organisation called Night Watch, whose purpose is to contain the spread of the parasite through the use of people with immunity to the parasite and a huge number of multiple page forms.

Cal’s first job for Night Watch is to round up all the women he has had sex or made out with since he was infected.  Unknowingly he passed the parasite on to them through his saliva and as none of them had his immunity they went mad and started eating people.  You would think this would make for grim reading but thanks to Elvis (you’d have to read the book to understand) the author injects dark humour into even this gruesome task.

Parasite Positive in the sci-fi horror genre and is a novel of two parts.  The odd numbered chapters follow the main fictional story and the even numbered chapters tell you more than you ever wanted to know about parasites.  The parasites in these chapters are real and depending on where and how you live you can catch them if you are unlucky.  Be warned these chapters are not for the squeamish but they do serve to illustrate the science behind the author’s parasite fiction and make the whole parasite positive/vampire story seem even more believable.

Intelligent, fast paced, exciting, darkly humorous and stomach-churningly gross in places Parasite Positive is a highly original novel with a wide appeal.  I’d recommend it for both adult and teen readers, vampire and non-vampire fans alike.  Check this one out!

View Full Version : Does my Clamshell have a fan!

10th March 2005, 08:12 AM
Hello everyone!
I would like to know does my 1999 model clamshell have a fan since i can never hear it!

10th March 2005, 08:22 AM
No, there is no fan on any Clamshell iBook 300 - 466Mhz. The G3 CPU doesn't get overly warm, and is cooled by a small steel heatsink with a thermal pad over the ATI Rage chipset and the G3 CPU.
