We also have Gravel Grinder Adventure Bicycles- Longer Wheel base and wider tires and rims:
The Renegade is ready for any adventure, no matter which Renegade you ride. The long and tall endurance geometry is designed specifically to ride comfortably all day on the road or in harsh conditions off-road. The smooth ride of the full carbon fiber Expert and Elite bikes set the bar for how we designed the steel Exploit and Expat and aluminum Exile to ride. With disc brakes and the ability to mount up to a 40c tire, these bikes are ready to go just about anywhere. All you need is the desire to push, pedal and explore.

Securing the rear wheel to the frame by threading it into the rear dropouts is not only safer, it's stiffer. Increasing the rear axle diameter from 10mm to 12mm provides a stable platform for the disc braking forces and allows us to tune the rear seat stays for more compliance/comfort
Tubeless and wider rims across the range provide great benefits on any terrain. The tubeless benefits are to help prevent flats with sealant as well as being able to adjust your tire pressure for the perfect ride. For example on dirt roads you may want to reduce the tire pressure to increase your contact patch for better grip without the worry of pinch flatting. The beauty of the 23-24mm wider rims effectively gives you a constant and wide tire surface yielding better handling, stability and confidence with plenty of surface grip for control
Just in case you want to continue to push the boundaries, we added cable routing capability for a 27.2mm dropper post. Carbon-made Elite and Expert models have routing for an internal post while the Exploit is fitted for external.
After two years of testing and research we are able to provide even more comfort by reducing the seat post diameter on the carbon Renegade to 27.2mm. Through the combination of a new frame seat cluster and clamping configuration we were able to accentuate the benefits of top-down 27.2mm seatpost comfort while not compromising on side-to-side flex
Starting with a wide and consistent stack and reach range, we set out to design a frame that could handle on or off road conditions while maintaining a comfortable ride. As you start to review the geo chart you will noticed we have 3 different fork offsets, BB drops and rear center measurements. Add size specific tubing and 2 different sized rear triangles and you have what we feel is the perfect endurance geo for all sized riders. The reason for this is that we wanted the 48 and 61 to fit the rider correctly and make the geo changes needed to provide the perfect ride.
Size Specific Tubing
Size Specific Design (SSD) is the Jamis design philosophy and technique used to create the best possible riding bike for each size rider. Rather than limiting frame size variations to just different length top, seat and head tubes lengths, we take an all-inclusive look at each frame’s total configuration. Every SSD frame will also feature size-specific BB drop, rear center, fork offset/trail and SST technology.
ACE is our Internal Cable Guide System that is companionable with mechanical or Di2 shifting as well as hydraulic or mechanical braking. To keep shifting and braking performing best in any & all conditions, we’ve routed all cables internally on the new Renegade and designed a completely enclosed BB guide to keep cables clean, assuring precise shifts and sure stops in all conditions. And if you want to shift electronically, we’ve got you covered. Incorporated into our internal cable guide system are a few extra cable fittings that make the Renegade Di2 compatible
To make life easier we have repositioned each mount externally in a variety of easy-to-use locations. With a wide collection of fork and frame mounts you can now choose to mount fenders, rear carrier, low-rider front carrier (or two cages for water bottles/ storage) and three front triangle water bottles. This will open up the options wherever and whenever you chose to ride. Bad weather, commuting, trekking, touring – anything is possible.
Disc Brakes
With endurance geometry designed to go anywhere the only choice was disc brakes. Now the Renegade Elite, Expert and Exploit all come with hydraulic brakes. With hydraulic disc brakes you will have the most consistent and confidence-inspiring braking available. Just think about jamming down hill on a rutted out fire road with your hands all over the hoods…the power & modulation benefits of hydraulic disc brakes become readily apparent
Thru Axles
The 12mm Thru-Axle on our Renegades offer the benefit of increased stiffness and a quick release system without any downside. Designed specifically to counter-act the stress and pull of disc brake tourque, these forks won’t drift when brakes are applied.

The Dirty Carter Electronic Sound Generating Instrument was designed by John Richards (Dirty Electronics) and Chris Carter from legendary Industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle. It was produced for a special performance by Carter and the 25 strong Dirty Electronics Ensemble in 2010. It was originally designed as a touch controlled instrument with the player's skin resistance completing the circuit. This hard wired modification by A.S.M.O. gives more control and predictability by wiring all to the touch contacts to pots and switches. An additional low pass resonant filter has been added, LFO and an external CV socket for filter modulation.
The case is made of stained ply and the front panel is covered with black leatherette.
Screature
live at Witch Room in Sacramento
For the last few years, Screature have been one of our city's best bands both live and on record. Singer Liz has imperious command of her voice which she can deepen and flatten with amazing sustainability like a young Grace Slick or Siouxsie Sioux. The all-lady drum-organ rhythm section creates a deep, lush, velvety pocket for Liz's voice and Chris' guitar which achieves a killer mindmeld of Helios Creed's psych-punk snarl and Geordie's deft modulation.
On this night, they scrapped their entire songbook which has been their live staple since their first show, also heard on their excellent and only LP (so far). They debuted an entire batch of new songs, and OMG....they're even better than the first! Now they're about to take 'em on the road. If they come near you, you oughta go!
This was probably their biggest hit with audiences so far...

I found this chart after purchasing the lens, in a Voigtlander forum! Seems the Rolleinar 2.8/35 is the same lens as the Voigtlander Color-Skopal 2.8/35, both made by Mamiya in Japan. For anyone unfamiliar, Mamiya lenses are legendary.
Actual shots confirm the MTF charts: except in real life, my lens appears to render IQ better than the charts would indicate. The charts above are for the very early lenses: mine is a later, improved, Japan version. Overall, the lens compares favourably with today's f2/8/35mm lenses, and provides excellent contrast and resolution.
How to read an MTF chart?
[MTF= Modulation Transfer Function]
[lppmm= line pairs per millimetre]
* The chart displays 2 lines for different lppmm at different f stops.
* The solid lines measure 'sagital lines", running diagonally from lens left bottom corner, through centre, to right top corner.
* The dotted lines measure "meridonial lines", running perpendicular to sagital.
* The solid and dotted lines are grouped in pairs and displayed for 10, 20, 40 lppmm.
10 lppmm relates to contrast.
40 lppmm relates to resolution.
* In general: the higher the curves show on the chart, the better; the flatter the curves, the better; the closer the solid and dotted lines are to each other, the better.
* The number on the X axis is the diagonal distance from lens centre. Thus, 10 indicates a 20mm circle diameter imposed upon the centre of the 36x24 frame, for about 50% coverage overall.
* Due to inherent limitations of glass and design, lenses are optimised at a specific aperture, usually f8 for legacy. Thus, most charts show the curves progressing flatter as the lens is stopped own.
* Many factors determine the overall performance of a lens, more than MTF can measure. MTF serves objectively as a starting point.
Is contrast more important than resolution for general photography? Yes. Sharpness. Our eyes perceive sharpness as a function of contrast between items photographed: example, foreground against background..
Is resolution important? Yes. Without resolution, fine details are not visible. But how much is enough or too much? This answer depends entirely upon the photographer. Portraits require 'pleasing' resolution, and most top lenses provide more than enough to show clearly facial wrinkles and blemishes. Spy satellites require ultra resolution, and never have enough.

It is with great pleasure that devening projects + editions announces The Lodger, an exhibition of new work by Peter Otto. The show will feature new paintings, works on paper and editions.
In this exhibition, as throughout most of his career, Otto makes the task of facing untenable cultural truths only slightly easier by persuading us with a system of delivery almost impossible to ignore. Otto’s work reports on the constituent factors of a human condition continually shifting between beguiling and highly disturbing. He reveals the state to which humanity—ever tested by social, cultural and political forces—bends, breaks and at times collapses. These paintings and sculptures show a reality emerging from the darkest moments. Evidence of the ways culture and society impose will and exert power is revealed on the surfaces of his verdant canvases and in the sculptures made from clay, plaster and bronze.
The themes are somber; the work though is delicately formed and teeming with graceful facture. It’s a difficult balance to strike, but Otto is able to bring forth stories of how cultural ruptures created by wars, famine, natural and man-made disasters form the basis from which that same culture is ultimately shaped. His paintings and drawings express a highly personal relationship with historical and contemporary events but always leaves the narrative open to evoke sensations interpretable from varied positions.
One thinks of Philip Guston when looking at Otto’s work. An acknowledged influence for the artist, Guston is a model for how to bridge the political and the formal. An example in Otto’s work is a regular use of stacked or hanging objects. Macabre associations are unavoidable, but one can never be sure. These “things” might also suggest built structures raised from a destroyed place or re-presented from an emergent culture. One might consider Guston’s piles of shoes and find a strong link to Otto. The concerns addressed in Otto’s most well-known paintings can also be seen in occasional large-scale public works in Holland such as Twisted Totem in Den Haag. This monumental work is a aggressively fragmented totem made from disparate parts. The sculpture, like the paintings, asks us to face difficult and challenging revelations about our culture and brings awareness to the ways in which we process trauma.
In one of several essays in Votive/Totem, the 2006 book on Otto, Rob Smolders writes: “Peter Otto juxtaposes his own malicious imagination with the imagination of society. He tightens pieces of string, erects crosses and gallows, puts up doors and fences, has a ball with junk he finds in his way: swastikas and Christmas trees, feet and heads, flowers and walking sticks. No dances in this world for it is inhabited by monsters and crutches.”
Of his painting and process, Smolders writes: “… Meanwhile, Peter Otto remained the painter he was. Magician when glazing, alchemist when patinating. The pictorial language of the paintings dating from the past five years is often acrid yet playful. Colors that are sometimes reminiscent of blood, tar or flesh, suddenly give way to the ripe color modulations of overblown flowers in an exuberant representation. References to war and violence that are too literal have been forced back. The tenor of the work is more general, even if the prevailing mood remains somber.”
Otto, who lives in Arnhem, has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe including projects at Museum Beelden aan Zee in Scheveningen, the Kröller-Müller Museum, Boÿmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Galerie Reuten and Galerie Swart in Amsterdam, the Museum Kurhaus Kleve and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

Perhaps linking a hospital car park with medieval chain mail is not such an outlandish idea, especially if it’s a Cambridge University teaching hospital. It certainly didn’t seem so for Allies and Morrison and Devereux Architects, who were commissioned by Addenbrooke’s to design one on for the expanded Rosie Maternity Hospital’s campus. The D&B proposal they came up with is lavished with playfulness and delight. The twisted yellow-painted aluminium facade that runs the full length and height of the building draws its inspiration from the rape seed fields that used to stretch away on the site, the twist creating a weaving modulation that imposes even while it dematerialises the mass.
The judges pronounced the design vision and detailing excellent throughout, along with rigorous and clear approaches to accessibility and way-finding – all-important in this medical environment.
The altitude motor that does work is driven with a steady roughly-square-wave shape with peaks at +8.5V or -8.5V depending on direction. At full speed you simply get 8.5 V DC. I imagine the pulses are a poor man's way to control the average voltage by controlling how long the level is low or high.
[Looking around the Internet, this is called Pulse-Width Modulation or PWM, which is a standard way to control the speed of a DC electric motor -- The motor can't respond to this 20 kHz oscillation in voltage because its mechanical inertia acts like a low-pass filter so it essentially “sees” a lower constant voltage equivalent to the temporal mean voltage of the signal]
The period of about 51 microseconds suggests the PIC is controlling the motor in periods of 1024 steps at 20 MHz (1024/20000000=51 us). There is a 20 MHz crystal on the PIC circuit board. Alternatively, it might be something like 256 steps at 5 MHz.
In the azimuth motor that doesn't work you see the same pattern, but the teeth of the wave widen over time until the signal is always high (at Rate 1 it takes many seconds, at Rate 9 it immediately jumps to always high). I imagine this happens because the encoder isn't moving, so the PIC thinks it has to raise the average voltage to get the motor up to speed.
I bought one used GT motor on eBay which is already on its way here (visually it looks the same, but I'm not sure it will actually work with the SLT circuitry and mount). I also ordered two new SLT motors, model SLT-F00-1A (instead of SLT-F00-1), from telescopes.net that may take a bit longer to arrive.
He's been out of his crib for almost 2 months; I just hadn't celebrated the milestone with a photo yet.

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

Merengue Script is the second typeface designed by Panco, once again together with Ale Paul, who supervised the whole development. In this opportunity, the process of shape research and the systematization of signs led him to dive into new waters. The objective was to generate a system of signs in which the construction of such was not directly bound to traditional calligraphy, nor to texts typography. Instead, the point was to create signs inspired in “Brush pen” calligraphy but with their main features drawn or literally illustrated. The result was a font with personality, authenticity and uncommon formal aspects that make Merengue Script an interesting, highly attractive and rather unusual font.
From the very beginning, the search was based on creating a font with weight and good presence in big formats, but, at the same time, efficient for brief texts of small formats. The aim was to make it usable mainly in candy, sweets and chocolate packaging.
The predominance of round shapes, harmonious modulations and funny and friendly-looking visual rhythms spark a special effect in the usage of Merengue Script. Texts are enhanced with an interesting visual charm, capable of transforming a very simple text into a virtual illustration that semantically reinforces the messages in a simple way, without putting legibility at risk.
With a basic set of stylistic alternatives full of frills and flounces for initials, ornamental and final letters, plus a set of disconnected signs, Merengue Script offers a wide and versatile range of options for graphic designers in the process of packaging design.
Late 1950s radio, manufactured in the first year of UK FM radio broadcasts. At the time, the FM band was limited to 88-100 MHz, with 100-108 used for government uses.
The styling is similar to Grundig, Metz, Bush, Murphy and other European manufacturers of the period - close to the final, and near-universal, European style before the transition to transistors.

We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon;
How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver,
Streaking the darkness radiantly! -- yet soon
Night closes round, and they are lost for ever.
Or like forgotten lyres, whose dissonant strings
Give various response to each varying blast,
To whose frail frame no second motion brings
One mood or modulation like the last.
We rest. -- A dream has power to poison sleep;
We rise. -- One wandering thought pollutes the day;
We feel, conceive or reason; laugh or weep;
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:
It is the same! -- For, be it joy or sorrow,
The path of its departure still is free:
Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability

Description of work: Renaissance Hotels tasked architect Jose R. Marchand and interior designer Jorge Rossello with renovating and saving this beachside landmark. "[B]y the mid-1990s the venerable La Concha hotel had been shuttered, abandoned and left to rot...Originally designed by Osvaldo Toro and Miguel Ferrer, with an eccentric but utterly loveable seashell-shaped restaurant by Mario Salvatori [sic], La Concha was a beautifully massed, expertly sited, vividly inventive building perfectly in sync with its time. Closely attuning the hotel to its sun-swept setting, the architects created deep-shading overhangs, open corridors, windows and doors that gave onto lush interior courtyards and provided cross ventilation, and beautifully lacy quiebra-sol (their take on a brise-soleil) for further modulation of the light and heat" (Frank, Michael.

The Palatine Chapel, is the royal chapel of the Norman kings of Sicily situated on the first floor at the center of the Palazzo Reale in Palermo, southern Italy.
Commissioned by Roger II of Sicily in 1132 and built upon an older chapel (now the crypt) constructed around 1080.
The mosaics being only partially finished by 1143.
The sanctuary, dedicated to Saint Peter, is reminiscent of a domed basilica. It has three apses, as is usual in Byzantine architecture, with six pointed arches (three on each side of the central nave) resting on recycled classical columns.
The mosaics of the Palatine Chapel are of unparalleled elegance as concerns elongated proportions and streaming draperies of figures. They are also noted for subtle modulations of colour and luminance. The oldest are probably those covering the ceiling, the drum, and the dome. The shimmering mosaics of the transept, presumably dating from the 1140s and attributed to Byzantine artists, with an illustrated scene, along the north wall, of St. John in the desert and a landscape of Agnus Dei.
Below this are five saints, the Greek fathers of the church, St. Gregory of Nissa, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. Basil, St. John Chrysostom and St. Nicholas.
The three central figures, St. Gregory, St. Basil, St. John Chrysostom, allude to the Orthodox cult known as the Three Hierarchs, which originated fifty years earlier.
Roger II of Sicily depicted on the muqarnas ceiling in an Arabic style.
The rest of the mosaics, dated to the 1160s or the 1170s, is executed in a cruder manner and feature Latin (rather than Greek) inscriptions. Probably a work of local craftsmen, these pieces are more narrative and illustrative than transcendental.
The chapel combines harmoniously a variety of styles: the Norman architecture and door decor, the Arabic arches and script adorning the roof, the Byzantine dome and mosaics. For instance, clusters of four eight-pointed stars, typical for Muslim design, are arranged on the ceiling so as to form a Christian cross.
Muqarnas ceiling
The hundreds of facets were painted, notably with many purely ornamental vegetal and zoomorphic designs but also with scenes of daily life and many subjects that have not yet been explained. Stylistically influenced by Iraqi 'Abbasid art, these paintings are innovative in their more spatially aware representation of personages and of animals.
The chapel has been considered a union of a Byzantine church sanctuary and a Western basilica nave.
The sanctuary, is of an "Eastern" artistic nature, while the nave reflects "Western" influences.
Nave
The nave, constructed under Roger II, did not contain any Christian images.
These were added later by Roger II's successors, William I and William II.
The nave's ceiling consists of Greek, Latin and inscriptions.
The frame for the royal throne sets against the west wall of the nave.
There are six steps leading up to where the throne would be, along with two heraldic lions in two roundels upon the spandrels over the throne frame gabel.
Sanctuary
As an expression of Norman culture, St. Dionysius and St. Martin are represented in the sanctuary.
Mosaics are of Byzantine culture in their composition and subjects.
The apex of the dome consists of the Pantokrator, with rows of angels, prophets, evangelists and saints.
The Byzantine motif ends abruptly with scenes from Christ's life along the south wall of the southern transept arm, while the north wall consists of warrior saints

A curious rose, this "Arabesque". Look with discernment and you will see how very different it is from most other roses. No single color or quality of color; no, not an ordinary rose. It must be exactly this whimsical and ornate quality that urged its designers - for want of a better word - to christen it as "Arabesque".
That's what it was that struck my mind when I took a closer look: a total lack of patterning; an ornate beauty of course, but verging even on the grotesque (as Edgar Allan Poe might have put it). Not unfittingly the title chosen by Claude Debussy (1862-1918) for his first two piano compositions (1888-1891) was "Arabesque", described by one critic in terms of 'unprepared modulations' .
Anyway... this was one of the beauties that I saw in the wonderful rose display in the Shinjuku Gyoen near Tokyo's Shinjuku Station, which must be one of the most complicated - yes! arabesque - places in the world. Even natives of Tokyo easily lose their way there, as I experienced when a colleague came to collect me from my hotel nearby.
PS Is anyone knowledgeable about uploading? I'm having trouble here in my hotel (in Kyoto) so I've had to reduce this to 480 instead of the usual 1024. To make it short: how come, and how do I overcome this? Thanks for your help.
