7 things I bring on the go


Image by Clement Soh
The backpack. Gotten it from a local bag peripherals store. Rugged look with just enough compartments for my to house all my belongings. Zippers are always smooth and have never been stuck. Perfect for the on-the-go me.

Communications. One for the civilian me. The other for the regimental work use. Pretty much average phones for every day uses. Reason I need 2 cell phones. One has a built in camera lens while the other doesn’t. My workplace forbids camera cells.

The shades. It’s a cheap shades that my sis have gotten for me when she went overseas because I whine that I don’t have a proper one. Nice and comfy and just enough to protect my eyes in sunny Singapore.

The player. The Zen 2GB. Decided to get it because I lack a proper MP3 player ever since my iPod Mini broke down. Also, it acts as a substitute for the future iPod touch I am planning to get. Pro iPod user here. It’s small in size (just about a size of a credit card) but packs a punch in music quality. The more then sufficient 2GB capacity is good enough for me because I always load up the player with about 150+ songs and 0 videos. Protected in official Creative acrylic casing.

Would you choose the white or the black lighter? Lighters are a must on the go. At least for a smoker.

SBA-290. The portable music system on the go by Phillips. Ultra slim body with it’s dynamic bass boost, incredible surround as well as XSL acoustics. Simply love it’s piano black version which I chose over the pear white one. Runs on AAA batteries so it wouldn’t eat into the battery power of my player.

The portable entertainment system. My beloved PSP Slim. For videos, games and also as a portable wi-fi platform. Equipped with a 4GB Sandisk memory stick, sufficient for my use. 8GB seems to be a little on the overkill side. Protected by a Logitech hardcase for hard knocks what god knows what else.

The Sennheiser HD212 Pro. Music is my life. Enchanced quality music is what makes a difference in my life. With noise-cancelling feature to block out pollutants such as baby cries, vehicles as well as gossiping middle aged women. It is a must feature for music on the go. Total comfort where it sits around your ears instead of surrounding it. Being everything clear, crisp and bassy and I do mean very bassy. Totally in love.

Theatre of Dionysus


Image by nrares
The Theatre of Dionysus was a major open air theatre in ancient Greece, built at the foot of the Athenian Acropolis and forming part of the temenos of "Dionysus Eleuthereus" (or Eleutherios, for "Dionysus, the Liberator"). Dedicated to Dionysus, the god of plays and wine (among other things), the theatre could seat as many as 17,000 people, making it an ideal location for ancient Athens’ biggest theatrical celebration, the Dionysia. It became the prototype for all theatres of ancient Greece.

It was the first stone theatre ever built[citation needed] — cut into the southern cliff face of the Acropolis — and the birthplace of Greek tragedy. The remains of a restored and redesigned Roman version can still be seen at the site today.

At the Dionysus the audience sat around three sides of a large flat playing space called the Orchestra.[1] Traditionally this was the performing area for the chorus although as Peter Arnott argues "it is quite possible that actors playing the named roles may also have used this space during the play."[1] In his book An Introduction to Greek Theatre Graham Ley argues that "the extent to which the action of the plays were confined to the Orchestra is somewhat dubious."[2] Ley highlights that in Aeschylus’ Persians (472 BC) "the Queen of Persia arrives in a chariot, and in the early plays most characters arrive in the playing space from "elsewhere", apparently from side paths."[2]

Situated directly behind the Orchestra was the skene where the actors could make their entrances and this was also possibly used a dressing room." With the construction of a skene in the theater of Dionysus, it is clear that some characters appear from it, and characters may enter it.[2]

Whilst there is little doubt that the Theatre of Dionysus was a spectacular construction and pathed the way to many exciting and large scale performances it is also clear that it posed many problems to actors of the time and more importantly for audiences. The raked auditorium stretched so far back and up the natural slope of the Acropolis it is highly likely that the smallest gesture and the quietest of whispers was lost regardless of the excellent acoustics.[1] The actors would have to overcome these problems by big acting and very clear gestures. And this raises questions about just how believable the performances were. The pressures on the actors would have been enormous and when we consider that the playwright was only permitted to use three actors any one actor could be called upon to play a great number of roles.

In Classical Athens, when the theatre was the venue for the Greater Dionysia, competitions were held between Greek dramatists as part of the occasion. The categories that could be entered were Greek Tragedy, Comedy and Satyr play. The plays were performed by a Chorus, and the audience served as judges. Amongst those to have competed are all of the renowned dramatists of the Classical era, such as Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes and Aeschylus.

In the mid 4th century BC, racked stone tiers were constructed (where wooden benches probably resided before) in order to allow more seating. After this the theatre fell into disuse and little is recorded until 61 AD where there is evidence of major renovations done by the emperor Nero.

Currently the biggest problem we have in assessing the pros and cons of the Theatre of Dionysus is the relative lack of surviving reliable evidence. Therefore when studying this fascinating topic one should treat any evidence they find with a dose of caution

This is one of the coolest ideas ever, i don’t think i can really take credit for it but its pretty damn cool – i’ve got computer speakers hooked up to a cd player [but i usually bring my iPod in there] so when i’m taking a shower i just turn on the tunes and rock out in the shower, one of the best ideas that takes nothing to actually do.

i think i’ll just do a blog entry about this cause i have a lot to say, ill link it up when im done.

Private Rail Car – Mount Vernon


Image by Train Chartering & Private Rail Cars
The Mount Vernon can be hired from Private Rail Cars.
MOUNT VERNON’s lounge/dining area features a flexible floor plan. The tables can be used for playing cards or board games at times other than meal times.
In addition, the tables can be repositioned together in a row down the center of the lounge, creating one large table for family-style dining.
The car’s entertainment system consists of a color television, DVD player, videotape player, audio CD player, and XM Satellite radio receiver played through a pair of stereo speakers at each end of the dining/lounge area.
The stainless steel kitchen is outfitted with a convection oven and a Jenn Aire grill top. There is storage for frozen, refrigerated and dry provisions. An experienced chef will use these facilities to prepare menus ranging from multi-course meals to light hors d’oeuvres. Charter clients are welcome to specify their menu preferences and special dietary needs in advance of a trip.
A spacious stainless steel shower compartment and a marble tiled changing area, quite possibly one of the most spacious on a private rail road car, is located between bedroom F and the kitchen.
The car has six bedrooms (A-F), each of which has an upper and lower bed, with a total of twelve beds. Five bedrooms (B-F) are available for guests, while one bedroom (A) is assigned to crew. Each of the bedrooms contains an enclosed bathroom annex with toilet and sink. Dividers can be retracted between pairs of bedrooms; this allows the creation of two bedroom suites (C-D and E-F) when desired by parties traveling together.
MOUNT VERNON sleeps 12 (up to 10 guests and 2 crew) in overnight service. MOUNT VERNON can accommodate up to 23 guests for daytime trips, but 12 to 15 guests is an optimum number of guests for daytime trips.

I stopped counting at 700 CDs. And this time when I moved, I put them back out of order, chaotically. They’re in our office upstairs, next to the bathroom, which has a tiny CD player in it. Every day I listen to an album in the morning as I shower and get ready, a proper album. It’s still how I get to know new CDs best.

It can get annoying when I’m in the mood for a CD and can’t find it. But the search usually leads me to find something else I’ve missed listening to.

Cactus V4 (more photos on comments)


Image by Chaval Brasil
[Explored]

Today the mail came with my copy of the new Cactus V4, a pre-production version.

Cactus will ship the new kit with a booklet called "When light dances", it has some photos with setup description and diagram. I’ve contributed with a photo (this one) and they sent me a kit

The improvements over the old V2s are great:
- antenna on transmitter, you can fold it for easier storage
- say goodbye to expensive CR2 batteries, receivers now use 2xAAA
- p2 connection on receiver, bye-bye flimsy pc connector
- receiver now can be used as a tabletop stand for a small flash
- much better finish, feels more solid now
- 16 channels
- comes with 3 small accessory cables, different connectors to suit almost any flash
- better packaging

I was told it will work on longer distances and that it’s more reliable, less misfires, but I haven’t tested properly yet.

Warning/disclaimer: this is a pre-production version of the Cactus V4 wireless flash trigger, it’s not for sale yet and the final version may have changes. I do not work for the company that produces Cactus or any other related company. The information here is strictly my personal opinion.

Hoje o correio trouxe uma cópia do novo Cactus V4, uma versão em pré-produção.

O novo kit será vendido com um livrinho chamado "When light dances", que tem algumas fotos com descrição e diagrama de como foram feitas. Eu contribuí com uma foto (essa aqui) e eles me mandaram um kit

As melhorias se comparado ao antigo V2s são ótimas:
- antena no transmissor, dobrável
- diga adeus às baterias CR2 caras, agora usa 2xAAA comuns
- conector p2 no receiver, tchau-tchau conector pc fraquinho
- o receiver serve como uma base de mesa para um flash pequeno
- acabamento muito melhor, parece mais sólido
- 16 canais
- vem com 3 cabinhos com diferentes conectores
- melhor empacotamento

Me disseram que vai funcionar com distancias maiores, que é mais confiável, perde menos disparos, mas não testei legal ainda.

Importante/aviso: esta é uma versão de pré-produção do novo disparador de flash via rádio chamado Cactus V4, ainda não está à venda e a versão final pode sofrer alterações. Eu não trabalho para a empresa que fabrica o Cactus ou qualquer outra empresa relacionada. A informação aqui é estritamente minha opinião pessoal.

Injection Pt. 2


Image by 96dpi
The glass was set on a piece of plexiglass and lit with 430EX (1/16th) below. The flash was triggered with a Gadget Infinity radio trigger. The light triggered a 300W strobe at 1/8th power that was behind the translucent white background to create a bright field illumination as described in the book Light: Science and Magic. The comparatively low power enabled me to shoot the dissolving food color in burst mode.

Juliet The Sun

A University of Salford acoustics graduate is making waves in the music industry with his own music label and a hit single: Time for Heroes – credited with winning the Ashes for England.

Dominic Read-Jones, AKA enigmatic producer Stan Fiorentino, has co-written Time for Heroes with fellow aspiring musicians including Northamptonshire All-Rounder Pro-Cricketer Steven Crook. Together they form the rock band Juliet The Sun. The song was played before matches in the England dressing room and helped the players get psyched up for their series win.
