Giza - On the way to the Pyramids
The Alchemist and I began to ride. We crossed the desert day by day. The Alchemist taught me how to immerse myself in the desert - listening to my heart. Next few days, there were some armed tribesmen approved and searched our belongings. Next more few days, there were many tribesmen asked if we were spies. Then, the Alchemist told them that I brought money to their tribe. In addition, he also told ...
"You're Welcome Ma'm"
... Cairo. Once on the ring road the sight of IKEA (strangely reassuring) made me smile. Traffic was increasingly growing denser, even at this time of night. A minivan packed with what might have been two dozen grown men overtook us on the right. Lots and lots of construction was going on on both sides of the road. 'The new Cairo", declared my guide proudly. I found the gigantic highrise blocks, closely packed together, sometimes with only a single window alight, slightly ...
I'm Goin' To the Pyramids!
... asking me lots of questions, telling me about Egypt, and even let me talk to his father and his son on the phone to say hello and be welcomed to Egypt. I was shocked to see the traffic on the way to the hostel, it was crazier than Asia! They don't stay within the lines, they create their own lanes, they don't stop at traffic lights but rather just honk on their way through the intersection hoping whoever comes the other direction hears and stops for ...
... look down a small valley of the sphinxes and they are all in ruin, mostly broken and in pieces. This was very common in many places. We left Aswan to headed to Luxor via a temple in Edfu. This temple was the biggest and best preserved temple in Egypt honouring the god Amun. This temple is the one often seen in movies e.g Transformers and Indiana Jones. Once in Luxor it was an overnight trip in a sleeper train back to Cairo. It was reasonably comfortable, the food was good and ...

Wine country
Wednesday the 17th we left Vancouver for Kelowna and went straight to a winery. What a waste for me! Ian had a taste of two wines I just enjoyed the flowers in the garden and looking around the place. I can just imagine how beautiful it is here in the summer. I am so in love with the flowers.

New Years fun, Big White
Finally starting to settle at work, had my first day off in a couple weeks, kids are back in school and we have the mountain to ourselves again. Missed approx 3 days on the hill so far, very lucky we can snowboard everyday! For New Years we had a pretty big celebration. We had tea at the Bullwheel after work.

Boating in Kelowna

After a long days drive we reached Kelowna, home to Lake Okanagan, home to Ogopogo (pretty much the same story as the loch ness monster). Shortly after checking into the SameSun hostel (which has a cool beach vibe) we made our way down to the marina for a house boat party.
The house boat went around the lake for about an hour before returning to the marina. The weather was absolutely perfect once more, as it has been every day since ...

Over the course of the past year, I've had a striking and rather disturbing experience of religion that raised some questions, which I would like to pose to you all. In June, my wife and I learned that we had miscarried our first pregnancy. We were devastated, as we had already begun to view this emerging life as our child and as a new member of our family. Half a year later, we are both still working through the aftermath of the miscarriage -- especially my wife, who still cries about it…

Each week, advertisers launch hundreds of new TV ads. Walmart and Target, for instance, have both launched about 40 new commercials each for the holiday shopping season. As the campaigns roll out, TV advertising research agency Ace Metrix screens each one for more than 500 consumers who then rate them according to effectiveness.
An Ace Score of 0 means an ad is a total dog. A nearly impossible top score of 900 means it's a winner.
Last week, retailers debuted a blitz of ads hoping to tempt holiday shoppers. Although Best Buy had a horrible Q3 2011 its new "Game on Santa" ad did really well with consumers, who rated it the best, most-effective ad of last week.
Verizon also did well with two of its ads in the Top 5.
What follows are the top five best new ads of the prior week, with some insight and commentary from Ace Metrix CEO Peter Daboll.
As ranked for effectiveness by consumers: Picking on Santa to sell phones totally works, it turns out.

Ronald Reagan
Why are the Republicans crying about the Debt Ceiling when it was raised 18 times under Ronald Reagan?
Republicans have made Ronald Reagan a saint among Conservatives, but they refused to acknowledge that Ronald Reagan raised taxes and asked for the Debt Ceiling to be raised 18 times. Now they are acting like this something that has never been done before.
Ronald Reagan was a Republican. That made it OK. Republicans have lots of double standards. And they switch them around as the wend blows.

My question is it possible to run these assemblies outside of AutoCad completely, or do they need to run inside an instance of AutoCad to work correctly?
For example, I'm trying to write some applications such that I want to read a Autocad drawing, but don't want to be forced into having to use a seat licenese to run my program.
using (Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Database acDb = new Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Database(false, false))
acDb.ReadDwgFile(fileToProcess, FileShare.ReadWrite, false, string.Empty);
acdb is still an empty object when run outside of AutoCad, however when I run similar code inside AutoCad the database is configured correctly.
You can't read DWG files sans AutoCAD without some extra help, such as purchasing a RealDWG license.

December 15th Atom C Titans champions in Ottawa
During the weekend of December 5th to 7th, the Atom C Titans won top honors at the "10th Holiday House League Tournament" in Ottawa.
Our players proudly defended the colors of AHMVD, winning all 5 of their games over the 3 days. It was their consistent team effort that kept them ahead or brought them back from behind that ultimately got us to the finals. It all ended with a 1 to 0 victory, in a match that went into double overtime with a 3-on-3 format on an Olympic sized rink.
This game was not for the faint of heart! Congratulations to all our players who worked very hard and above all played as a team!!! « Titans Go!, Titans Go!, Titans Go Go Go! »
December 4th 2014 From Vaudreuil to New-York
The Pee-Wee 'A' Vikings had quite the experience last November 22nd, when on a team trip to New-York City.
The team played an exhibition game in Long-Island's Nassau Coliseum vs the Westchester Vipers that ended in an amazing 6-0 win. Afterwards, a few players had the privilege of going on the ice prior to the Islanders vs Penguins game during the singing of the American national anthem. The whole team attended the game during the evening.
Furthermore, the young Vikings (quite unexpectedly) made a few memorable acquaintances as the Penguins were staying at the same hotel as the team was.
The parents would like to thank the team's sponsors, their manager Marie-Claude Guay and espescially coach Mark Bartlett for organizing the fundraising activities, and of course, planning this super memorable weekend for the kids.

Snowstorm expected in upper Midwest early next week
By Alex Sosnowski
Expert Senior Meteorologist, AccuWeather.com
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — AccuWeather.com reports a major storm may come together to bring wind-whipped snow to the upper Midwest and Great Lakes region early next week, while severe storms could ignite on the southern edge.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio may get travel-disrupting snow from the storm during the Monday-Tuesday time frame of next week.
There is potential for snow to fall in Chicago, Green Bay, Indianapolis and Detroit. Gusty winds up to 40 mph could reduce visibility further and add to travel impacts from the storm.
On the back edge of the storm, some snow may even reach areas farther south such as St. Louis and Cincinnati.
By Tuesday night and Wednesday, the storm may swing across Canada, bringing snow from the northern mid-Atlantic and much of New England to Quebec. Again, gusty winds may accompany the round of snow, adding to travel disruptions.
Strong to severe storms may also be a threat along the southern edge of the storm; however, a limiting factor will be cold air that will surge south over this weekend. The cold air will flush out moisture that has been in place recently to fuel severe thunderstorms.
"The Gulf Coast is most likely to regenerate conditions favorable for severe weather," AccuWeather Expert Senior Meteorologist Dan Kottlowski said.
Southeastern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and perhaps Tennessee may be in the path of damaging thunderstorms Tuesday.
The parade of storms will continue through late next week.

- My ring is stunning. Simply perfect! We had been searching for such a long time for my engagement ring when we found the Gesner website. We were a bit nervous buying something so expensive off the Net, but Gesner makes the experience smooth and from the minute I first phoned them I felt complete confidence. The photos and the ability to zoom in close is a wonderful feature they offer on their site, but my ring in person was just beyond anything I could imagine. All I can say is that I am thrilled to have found Gesner and they will be my first and more than likely only stop when buying jewelry! Review by Brandi H. (Posted on 1/11/2013)
I wanted to let everyone know that I received the ring, had it appraised, and am very excited to be giving it to my sweetheart over the Christmas holiday! It is truly a beautiful piece and I'm fortunate to have been able to work with all the folks at Gesner to make the purchase happen. Thank you all for your continued help, support, and consideration. I'll be sure to report on the proposal as well!
David S. Review by David S. (Posted on 11/1/2012) - I received the ring, and it fits perfectly. Thank you so much for your excellent service! Review by Millicent W. (Posted on 5/2/2014)
- Excellent quality, great value, simply honest and wonderful customer service. We have made several purchases and been delighted with each one. Review by David (Posted on 12/16/2012)
- I couldn't be happier with my experience. Gesner provided excellent customer service and fast delivery. My engagement ring is beyond gorgeous, and the quality is superb. After they resized it at no cost, it fits perfectly. I've never seen another ring like it! Review by Jessica (Posted on 2/22/2013)
Having purchased a beautiful Art Deco diamond ring from Australia I could not be happier, the ring is as described, came with a valuation certificate and is stunning. The communication during the purchase was amazing. Recommended to all.
MD Review by Marita (Posted on 10/3/2013) - I found a beautiful antique bangle at the Gesner store in Tampa. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with the experience, as I had been looking for quite some time. I started my shopping quest with looking on the Gesner website first before going into the store, which did save alot of time. Review by Rebecca S. (Posted on 2/22/2012)

She smokes two packs a day for 36 years and the product is "unreasonably dangerous"? Not quite. Quite safe, actually -- 36 years is a pretty good run, enjoying one of the few small pleasures of life.
If tobacco is the "deadly" substance the anti-smoking nazis say it is, why did it take that woman 36 years to die from smoking? Obviously, it's not as lethal as the warning label says it is.
Either smoking and tobacco smoke is a public menace and should be banned or it's not as dangerous as the hyperbolic hysteria claims. It seems the anti-tobacco crowd wants it both ways. They want it banned in bars and other public places because it's deadly, yet they do not call for prohibition of tobacco. It's either deadly or it's not. If it isn't deadly, then let the public decide whether to frequent public places where the owner decides to allow smoking. That used to be the American way; now it seems as though it's the old USSR way.
DavidMac is right. If only the smoked weeds killed people overnight we nonsmoker (smokernazis) would all be better off not having to endure the stench/carcinogens/other feculence from smokers who spew it in public. Although the smokers do provide a public service by killing themselves off before they can collect too much Social Security.Banning tobacco would place an unacceptable risk to the SS pool.
Even when these guys are not smoking the stench is still on their clothes and hair so they still reek anywhere they go. It isn't a question of a dangerous product (long proven), the problem is that the smokers are inconsiderate and without manners. No less authority than Miss Manners says:" They should go elsewhere to make their disgusting mess away from clean people." That says it all.
Yes, Truckbomb -- you project manners of the highest order!
Truckbomb said: " 'They should go elsewhere to make their disgusting mess away from clean people.' That says it all."
I think Hitler said something similar as he rounded up the Jews, sent them to concentration camps "away from clean people", then shoved them into gas chambers and mass graves.
10:00 If you read my note carefully it was Miss Manners I quoted with approval. How did we get to the Holocaust from Miss Manners suggesting smokers to go somewhere else away from clean people.? I know you smokers don't ike it when you are called out for being paraihs but: Hitler? Killing Jews? Really! A little over the top.

US: Kansas court rules Craigslist sperm donor liable to pay child support
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
This is all kinds of wrong, but I do blame the couple for this. They didn't take reasonable measures in the first place by not using the right services. Then, the absent female partner is showing a complete lack of responsibility in caring for their child. Even though the now absent mother was not a participant biologically, this is about making that decision together to become parents, and following through with that commitment to life.
No doubt the laws there should be changed, but common sense dictates that the absent mother should be the one paying child support for the child she chose to have with her partner. The donor should be left out of this, he volunteered to help this couple, and he is now being forced to take responsibility for a child that should be the responsibility of these two women.
The lesson is that all men donating should know the law inside-out, file contractual agreements, and still be prepared to face legal attempts to extort money a few years down the road.
Absolutely right.
All participants should have checked the law inside out before embarking on such a huge undertaking, especially in a deeply reactionary state giving no parental rights or responsibilities to same-sex partners of biological parents while giving seemingly absurd legal privileges to medical professionals.
Having a child can seem like such an exciting life-project but the implications of things going wrong must be planned for in the cold light of day, no matter how distasteful it may seem, especially in such a bad environment for lgbt rights. -
There are some details to the story that are left out here. The couple tried first to get sperm through a doctor. But their doctor couldn't handle the thought of same sex parents, and turned them down. So, they turned to this route. And the partner did offer to pay the state bill when she found out about the suit. But the state refused to acknowledge her.
If you'd like to know some of the details, read at least these two articles from last year.http://cjonline.com/news/2012-12-30/former-partners-forever-grateful-topeka-sperm-donor
And much more information about the case is in the "news" and "videos" links on the lawyers website.
Also, if you sympathize with the man, there is a donate button on the right of the home page, to help defray legal costs.
It's riduclous that he has to pay. The state of Kansas is at fault though. They do not allow gay couples parenting rights so it gets really messy of couples split up. EVERY couple who have a baby together – however conceived should be equal parents full stop. It's not rights given to the adults, it's for the children, so no excuse for them not existing.
Also punishing people for not using expensive medical procedures to concieve – doesn't sit well with me. I've done the very expensive treatment to get the equal parental rights with absolutely no chance of this happening in the future, but not everyone can afford this (I cant afford to try for a sibling). Before you say 'well if you can't afford kids, don't have them', children need love, food & shelter – you don't need to be rolling in cash to provide this.
It's also a bit rich for the state to say that the liability arises because no licensed physician was involved in the insemination. That sounds like a vague excuse, and arbitrary protectionism.
This is an INCREDIBLY bad move & dangerous legal precedent. I'd bet my house that this will be overturned … *eventually*.
Appeal to federal courts.

The Bruno mysteries,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Devil S Cave (Paperback)
Martin Walker is the "Donna Leon" of southwestern France. We read our first Bruno book before visiting Bordeaux and the Perigord area of France 2 years ago. What a wonderful introduction to what we now consider the one of the best parts of France. Since then
we have completed the series and look forward to the next one. The books have interesting characters and the well plotted mysteries resolve around current social issues and or past history, particularly the Resistance in WWII France - and the pre-historic caves. Would highly recommend them and think they are essential for anyone travelling to southwestern France. |

Good book if you want to learn by building circuits, but...
The title of the book is misleading, because the author wrote this book with a definite bias towards analog circuits. Besides a chapter on Schmitt trigger circuits, the book has are only two chapters on digital devices but includes chapters on power supplies, a FM receiver and a FM tansmitter circuit. The book has a few errors that may confuse beginners (e.g. the 9v input voltage is used for caculations instead of the 5v regulated voltage) and lacks waveform diagrams or pictures; including device data sheets would have been helpful, too. However, I did find the book to be helpful to fill in gaps in my knowledge.

Brooklyn Nets Forward Mirza Teletovic Has To Remain Confident
Brooklyn Nets forward Mirza Teletovic didn't receive much playing time last season, his first in the NBA, so he's very glad for the opportunity to play consistently in Europe this summer.
"It's tough for all the European players during the first year in the NBA, especially if you don't get a lot of playing time, you can't get confidence, you can't really get into rhythm," Teletovic told Sport Eagle TV, a German network. "I couldn't catch five, six games in a row."
Teletovic averaged 9.4 minutes per game in only 53 games last season in Brooklyn.
"I was always one game out," Teletovic continued. "You're missing the confidence, you're missing your game. So I think for me it's important to come back here to Europe and still have a lot of minutes to play here, and have other things and lots of practice."
While all that may be true, Teletovic has to do his best to keep his confidence high during this upcoming season with the Nets. New head coach Jason Kidd says that Teletovic will be an important part of the team, but finding consistent minutes for him won't be an easy task given that Andrei Kirilenko should get the majority of the playing time at the backup small forward position, and the same with Reggie Evans at the spot for reserve power forward.
But injury could strike at any moment, and if it does, Teletovic has to have the confidence to step up and perform at a high level when given extra minutes.

I joined 600 people last night at a session sponsored by Hive to listen to Doug Cutting, the creator of Hadoop. Currently he is the chief architect at Cloudera and a director at Apache Software Foundation. The hall at NetApp facility was overflowing with an eager audience. Doug spoke about the future of data management.
He narrated a brief history of Hadoop, how it was founded and how far it has come. As everyone knows, the pedigree of Hadoop came from Google's GFS (Google File System, now HDFS) and Map-Reduce programming. Here are the key predictions he made:
- Hadoop has grown to become the de-facto standard for Big Data. He had anticipated IBM and Microsoft to come up with alternative designs to compete with Hadoop, but that never happened. Both companies plus Oracle, HP and other players have endorsed Hadoop as the platform.
- Hadoop will become the center of data management in future. It will not be the original HDFS+MR layers, but a whole new ecosystem called "The Enterprise Data Hub". There will be an explosion of products surrounding Hadoop (all open systems). He cited examples of Pig, Hive, Sqoop, etc. Currently many SQL implementations over HDFS are coming up.
- Will there be OLTP (Transactional systems) on Hadoop? He said yes. Current implementation of Impala (from Cloudera) has SQL on HDFS with Map-Reduce on top is proving quite efficient in ETL workloads. Several customers have started migrating from legacy world to Impala.
- The new project at Google called Spanner is also leading the way to a future OLTP system distributed across the globe. This work will propel future additions to the Hadoop ecosystem.
- He explained the big advantage of Open systems architecture and why that will become the norm over proprietary systems.
- The future Hadoop ecosystem (Enterprise Data Hub) will be a threat to the current incumbents like Oracle, MySQL, SQL server, DB2, and Vertica. Current challenges of weak security and lack of standardization will be addressed eventually.
Doug is an engaging speaker and clearly showed he knows his subject well. I have my doubts on his future predictions, as DBMS's take a long time to mature and provide all the critical functions for mission-critical applications. We have learnt that over the last 4 decades. Hadoop is still primarily a batch system doing offline analytics. Moving from there to do real-time production workload is quite a jump and will take many years to accomplish.
Then there are the new breed of highly efficient NoSQL databases like MongoDB that are being deployed to create "systems of engagement" at large enterprises. Also, the incumbents are not sitting idle either with a total market size of $30 Billion dollars. It is funny to remember that our tax records are still managed by Model 204 at IRS, a DBMS created during the 1960s. Switching databases is extremely cumbersome and not for the faint-hearted. Doug did say that future spending will steer more towards Hadoop.
Given the challenges of Big Data and the rapid adoption of Hadoop, we will watch this space as it unfolds over next couple of years.

Everything else about the hotel is OK and staff are actually good but it is totally overshadowed if you have to get up at 5am with a migraine and face 15hour travelling.
Bottom line: DO NOT RISK THIS HOTEL if your intention is to get some sleep - You have been warned!
It is the the Virgin brochure as a Kenya Safari stop over but... you will get more sleep overnight in the airport lounge!
PS they didn't deliver one of the breakfasts we ordered but we were too stress out to eat anything anyway.

The majority (82 per cent) of fund managers feel that heavy regulation is the main issue facing the industry over the coming 12 months, according to research by KNEIP.
The figures are based on the results of a recent survey of KNEIP clients, which gathered the thoughts of more than 130 fund companies worldwide.
Mario Mantrisi, chief strategy and research officer at KNEIP, says: "Ensuring compliance with changing legislation is fast becoming the priority for fund managers. Given the pace and volume of new measures over recent years, it is unsurprising that this has been identified as the key challenge in 2013."
Respondents to the KNEIP survey were also asked to rank which specific pieces of regulation they feel will have the most impact on the fund management industry, with 57 per cent of managers listing Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) above the likes of Ucits V, Solvency II and MiFID II.
The survey also showed that 40 per cent of asset managers are unprepared for the impact of AIFMD, which will become law in every EU member state by July 2013.
"After a long and involved consultation period, AIFMD will soon come into effect and will be a watershed moment for the alternatives industry. While larger alternatives houses may have the resources to fulfil the new transparency and reporting requirements, smaller managers may struggle. There is an understandable concern that AIFMD will be a time burden that may impact their core business capabilities and as the deadline approaches, many managers will now be considering external help," says Mantrisi.
