ESV Digital was founded in 2004 with the vision of combining big data analytics and human expertise to optimize digital marketing.

ESV founder and CEO Stanislas Di Vittorio comments: "As we expand across multiple geographies and marketing channels, ESV seeks to continue serving our clients as digital marketing grows in complexity and in importance across all kind of verticals. We will keep putting our clients' interests first as this is the key to our long-term success as a performance marketing specialist".

I am working on bringing files into Lightroom 4, most DNG files from a Canon 5D and DNG and TIFF files from a Nikon scanner. The problem I'm having is that after importing the files into the Folder in which they will all be for the catalogue, they are significantly smaller. For instance, a DNG file from a 6x9 film scan is 600MB in the original folder, then is 420MB in the new folder after being renamed and imported into Lightoom. Similarly, a 20MB DNG file from my Canon 5D is 8MB after importantion. Also, the backup of the original that is made upon importantion, remains at its larger size on my external drive. I do not believe that I have anything set in Lightroom to do this, the only setting I've touched in the import process are renaming the file, placing a backup, and adding tags. I am not doing anything in the development dialogue box. Is there a reason that these files are so much smaller? I'm worried because 30% decline in the case of scans is a lot of data, as if the 70% decline in my Canon 5D file. Any ideas?
There are two things going on....(1) one is yes, my raw Canon files are being converted to DNG files. I think that is ok. The files are smaller, but that is because DNG has some form of nonossy compression, right? Are there other options in Lightroom? I guess I can go through ACR in batch and choose other options, but I cannot see other options in Lightroom. (2) I have some legacy scans from Vuescan that are already in DNG. What I've found is that, becauseI was selecting "copy as DNG" on an already existing DNG file, the file was then being made MUCH smaller. I'm not sure why, or if it matters, but I decided to change the process to simply move the DNG files, rather than copy them, and the sizes are remaining the same. Thoughts?
No. In the import menu just choose "Copy" on the top line and "Copy to new location and add to catalog" on the line below before you select "Import" and your CR2s will show up where you want them without further processing. You can covert them later to DNG from within LR if you want that format. Remember to also choose the file names, folder and drive location you want on import as well.

YE OLDE (bursting) notebook:
There might, however, be a new sound.
Luck said the school is trying to organize and do a better job with the Mountaineer Mantrip, a team walk into the stadium before home games.
"We're trying to find an Air Raid siren to alert the fans the Mantrip is about to begin," Luck said.
That, of course, would play off the "Air Raid" nickname applied to Dana Holgorsen's offense. Otherwise, Luck said, WVU fans won't notice much difference, aside from new beer carts.
The gray walls around the stadium, he said, will remain so for this season. An idea was to add color and branding, but only one company responded to the idea and that proposal apparently wasn't satisfactory.
"I think we have a few hundred left for the Kansas game," Luck said. "The other six home games have been sold out. Having said that, some schools return tickets. We have waiting lists and so on.
"One thing we're excited about is the use of ticket scanners. It's the same system pro teams use and hopefully our fans will get used to it. You can buy tickets online. If you're not using them, you can email them to someone else or donate them back to the university. You don't have to arrange to meet someone."
"You never want to say never," Luck said when asked if the series might resume. "Things change. But in the near future I don't see us playing."
The Mountaineer AD said he'd like to get former rivals Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech back on the non-conference schedule.
Of course, the death of the series will be felt by Marshall's athletic department. When the game was held in Huntington, it was a boon for athletic director Mike Hamrick and company.
MU supporters still point to WVU's series with East Carolina. Both teams are in Conference USA. Why the Pirates and not the Thundering Herd?
"That was a six-year commitment made before I was here," Luck said. "We canceled one of those [ECU] games for the opportunity to play Alabama [in 2014]."
Don't be surprised if other ECU games disappear now that WVU is in the Big 12.

Playing dress-up with the iPhone
As noted back in early May, we were shocked that it had taken so long for iPhone cases to begin showing up, some five months after it had been announced. But no sooner was that item printed that the floodgates began to open.
To date, however, most of the gadget-wear has been mundane to mediocre--hardly befitting the most celebrated consumer product launch in memory, if not history. So even if the latest case from urban apparel company LRG isn't exactly your taste, we think it's worthy of mention at least for an attempt at originality beyond the usual … Read more

Good value for money. The room that I was given wasn't facing the street and If it wasn't for the thin walls it would have been ideal for me (regular traveller that doesn't need much more than a bed to sleep in and working WiFi).

Dorian Michael interview
Folk and blues guitarist Dorian Michael talked to us on the phone last week. We talked about his upcoming appearances around the Pacific Northwest, his music background growing up in the blues/folk scene in L.A., and even about tuning guitars and the different types of woods used in making the instruments. But because we were a bit carried away with our show of Movie Soundtracks and TV Themes, we could only air part of the interview. This is the whole discussion with music inserts.And, Dorian said he'd try and come by the studio for our Labor Day Cookout show on Sept.5th.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"Robinson has composed...a novel as big as a nation, as quiet as thought, and moving as prayer. Matchless and towering."
Kirkus, 08/15/2004
Review:"The narrative roams and circles, as diaries do, and is largely cerebral, with little forward imperative. In this sort of book all depends on the quality of the contemplation and the charm of the voice. Fortunately, Ames's is original and strong....GILEAD is an almost otherworldly book. Its characters are, to a one, good people trying to do right. Obviously a work of enormous integrity...."

Despite Catherine's claim that she was going to fight for Vincent's heart at the end of last week's Beauty and the Beast, she'll have a hard time getting her happily ever after thanks to Vincent's ex-fiancé Alex, who is determined to pick things up where she and her former love left off 10 years ago when he shipped off to Afghanistan.
But Alex still doesn't know Vincent's secret side, a.k.a. the beast that comes out when he gets angry. Will she finally find out the truth in tonight's episode, "Cold Turkey?"" And if she does, will she still be so eager to leave the country with him?
Hollywood.com couldn't wait until tonight's episode to get answers, so we went straight to the source herself: the lovely Bridget Regan, who plays Alex. Read up on all of the juicy scoop we could get out of her:

Hollywood.com: So is Alex ever going to find out Vincent's big secret, or is he determined to keep her in the dark?
Bridget Regan: "That's the challenge and also a part of the appeal of why Vincent is enjoying being around her she doesn't know this whole ugly part of him that is the reality of who he is now. He gets to live in the past and live in the fantasy without anyone looking at him like he is a beast."
Even though she knows part of the truth - that Vincent is presumed dead for government reasons - she still didn't understand why he couldn't give the police his name last week. Why did she not piece that together?
"Alex has no idea, which is hard to keep in mind. So something like breaking in to the ice rink and getting caught by the police is not a big deal to her. The reality has started to set in for Vincent, after having to face Catherine after bailing him out. She might need to find out. That's Vincent's predicament. Alex is just living in this la-la land. She thinks she can just run away with him and join this Doctors Without Borders thing. She's oblivious."
Is Alex going to find out that Catherine is more than just Vincent's handler?
"Alex started to get this instinct of, 'Something's going on here. Something's amiss. Maybe's there's something more between him and Catherine.' But she didn't want to believe that. Everyone's been in a situation that is obviously one thing but your mind really wants to believe the story. She just loves him so much and they were together for so long but then he disappeared. She was told he was dead. She's really in a lot of shock about the whole thing. She is just happy to have the man she loves back in her life because she hasn't found anyone else like him."

Why do you think JT is on Catherine's side of the love triangle? He hasn't been her biggest fan in the past.
"What's interesting is that we grew up together. Me, JT, Vince, Vince's brothers, we all lived on the same street, went to the same school. We were all friends. It's interesting that JT wouldn't side with Alex considering they have this history together. But JT also has a lot more knowledge of the reality of the situation than Alex does at this point. He really understands the best out of anyone what's happening to Vincent's body and mind and Alex has no idea, whereas Catherine does. And Catherine is on his side and defending him and comes to his rescue when he needs it. So I think I can understand why he would root for her instead of Alex."
Tell me about tonight's episode, "Cold Turkey."
"Alex wants to take Vincent away for a weekend to her family's cabin in the woods. It was this special place for Vince and Alex when they were a young couple and they would go there to get away from it all and be alone. Alex wants to pick up where they left off and go have a romantic weekend. So she goes and asks Catherine for permission if she can take him away because she still thinks Catherine is his handler. She's trying to follow the rules and be respectful, so that's why she goes and asks for permission. And a lot happens, but Alex just wants to reconnect with him in a really romantic way."
Beauty and the Beast airs Thursdays at 9 PM ET/PT on The CW.

Is it possible to override the defaultSortOrder for Forums using the Forums- Browse Forums widget? Currently the options allow for applicationname, posts, lastpost. We need to be able to define our own sort order of forum application name in the list, instead of being alphabetical.
Hmmm, surprisingly this simple question is not being answered. I must admit I love the new features that are being added to Telligent but this simple feature is a must have for us. Someone throw me and Aimee Al-Dabagh a bone.
Chip Martin Can you be a bit more specific on how you need to sort these posts and how many forums do you have?
Sorry for the long delay in response, I did not get notification there was a response.
Let's say I have 4 Forums in my Group.
Forum A
Forum B
Forum C
Forum D
What I want to be able to do is when a User see's the list of Forums in my Group they are presented in this order.
In other words I want to control in what order the Forums are presented. I actually have a lot more than 4 forums in each of our many Groups and it is very important to control the order of the Forums without having to come up with some strange Forum nomenclature in order to work-around the default order.
I see - Out of the box it is probably not possible. Are you open to creating a custom widget configuration control for this?
Well, I have not created a Custom Widget before (I have hacked a few), but if it is possible to do via a Custom Widget I am certainly open to try it.
This would be creating a custom control in C# code that can be used in a widget... Probably not the best option here. How many forums are we talking and how often do they change?
That's a tough question to answer we have 27 Groups with many different numbers of Forums within each group. I'll instead I guess focus on one of the Groups.
11 Forums in it. The order would be relatively static possibly only changing once per year. We are a software company so when we release a new Version it gets a new Forum. The Version numbers increment 1...2...3 we want the newest Version on top which is opposite of how they are sorted by default. The other Forums contained within the Group would (that are not Version specific) have static locations.
So currently if you sort by name does your list display in reverse order from how you want it?
No, if only it were that simple. I do need a very specific initial Order, I guess I oversimplified my last response. I was only indicating what would change from year to year and that would simply be the addition of a new forum representing our latest Version release.
Here is what I have right now:
CV Bidding and Reporting
CV CAD, Drawings, and Rendering
CV Closets
CV Ideas, Features, & Enhancements
CV Legacy Versions
CV Possible Program Issues
CV Sharing, Shop Talk, & Careers
CV User Created Standards
The Catalog Editor
Here is what I would rather have:
CV Version 8
CV Catalog Editor
So later this year when Version 9 is released I will add a CV Version 9 forum which I want to be at the top...
Of course another thing I have to figure out how to do is get all the Threads within both CV 8 and CV 2012 R1 & R2 moved into the CV Legacy Versions Forum, but that is a problem for another post and another day since there seems to be no way to do that either.
Eeeek! It is certainly an idea, not sure it is a road I would want to travel though. It was a very simple feature in the free Forum software I used prior to Telligent. Each Forum had an "Order" Field associated to it in the Database and you simply assigned each Forum a number 1...2...3... and that controlled the order. Was really surprised that was not available in Telligent.
If you do not change your forums very often and there are not many of them in a group you can resort them using code, but you sacrifice reliable paging.
You can obtain the ForumIds from the control panel or from their urls and store the ids in a specific order somewhere like widget configuration (so its easily changed). Like a CSV list that can be parsed to an array or IList.
Then get a list of forums for the group regardless of sort and reorder that list based on your ordered id list.
Again, this works well if you don't have a ton of forums and don't need paging. You should be able to do all this in a custom widget using loops, though creating a custom extension and doing it in code makes it a little easier and you can utilize some caching
Ok, that may be worth giving a go. Thanks Patrick!

Matt Kuchar wins Match Play Championship
Monday - 2/25/2013, 3:36am  ET
AP Golf Writer
MARANA, Ariz. (AP) -- Even in the most stressful form of golf, Matt Kuchar and his easy smile made the Match Play Championship look like a weekend game with his buddies.
It was fun when he built a 4-up lead at the turn. And when Hunter Mahan threw his best golf at him during a wild back nine Sunday at Dove Mountain, Kuchar never looked rattled, never felt as if the match belonged to anyone but him, and never lost the lead.
Kuchar kept momentum on his side with four birdies on the back nine, the last conceded on the 17th hole for a 2-and-1 victory. He captured his first World Golf Championship and put his name in the conversation as among the most lethal players in match play.
In his case, looks are deceiving.
"Match play I find to be such an amazing, unique format, so much fun to play and so much pressure," Kuchar said. "It seems like each hole there's so much momentum riding and so much pressure on every hole. To come out on top after six matches of playing the top 64 guys in the world, it's an incredible feeling."
Mahan, trying to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the Match Play Championship, had gone 169 holes without trailing dating to the opening round last year until Kuchar won the fourth hole of the championship with a par.
Mahan never caught up, though it wasn't from a lack of effort. Every time he cut into the deficit, Kuchar answered the challenge -- a 15-foot birdie putt on the 12th hole with Mahan in tight, and a 10-foot birdie putt on the 15th with Mahan poised to cut the lead to one hole.
And he did it all with that warm smile on a day so frigid they traded golf hats for ski caps.
"He does it differently," said Mahan, who had to get past the ultra-intense Ian Poulter in the semifinals earlier Sunday. "He's more like a fuzzier, Peter Jacobsen kind of guy who likes to talk. He's super competitive, there's no doubt about it. He plays golf to win, and he works hard at it. I think he really enjoys playing. When you play against him, you know what you're going to get. You're going to get a competitive guy who's probably not going to make mistakes."
This time, it was Mahan who made the mistakes. He allowed Kuchar to win consecutive holes with pars, and Mahan fell further behind when Kuchar hit pitching wedge to 3 feet for birdie on the par-3 sixth and Mahan hit a poor second shot that kept him from matching birdies with Kuchar on the par-5 eighth.
But even 4 down at the turn, there was never a dull moment on the back nine.
For all the great shots in a 25 mph wind that felt harsh with the cool, desert air, the match ended with a thud.
Kuchar was 1 up on the 17th hole when both drove into the bunker. Their golf balls were only a few feet apart, but Mahan's had sunk slightly in the sand, making it difficult for him to get a clean hit. He came up woefully short, the ball rambling through the desert until it landed in a bush. It took him four shots to reach the green, and with Kuchar only about 4 feet away, Mahan conceded the birdie and the match.
"Just had a bad stretch against Matt on the front nine there that put me just a little bit too far behind," Mahan said.
Kuchar became the second player in the last three years to win the Match Play Championship without ever playing the 18th hole.
Mahan nearly forced him to the final tee.
He made a long two-putt par to win the 10th, and played a tough chip from the mound of a bunker to about 6 feet for a birdie on the next hole, cutting the lead in half. Mahan followed with a tee shot into about 10 feet on the par-3 12th, the momentum squarely on his side. Kuchar, however, followed with an 8-iron to just inside 15 feet and made the birdie putt.
"The shot was certainly good, but the putt was really crucial, and when that went in, I felt like I was still in control of the match," Kuchar said. "Had that putt not gone in, it would have been only a 1-up lead, and I think the match was in anybody's hands at that point."

Dear Editor:
My name is Estelle Jackson and my husband and I purchased our property at 38948 Indian Head Lane in the 1970s. At the time my husband built our dream home in which we would spend the rest of our lives.
We wanted to spend every day until our last looking out over the beautiful views of the pastures below and the mountains in this quiet, friendly corner outside of Crawford. My husband was lucky enough to stay in our home as we wished, with its tranquility and beautiful views until he passed away seven years ago. I too plan on remaining here. We bought this beautiful piece of property because of the beautiful views and serenity on the hill. Now I understand that our neighbors to the east of us plan to put in a gravel pit. While I respect their wishes to use the gravel pit to help finance their agricultural pursuits, I cannot help but worry about the hindrance to our views, the disruption of the noise, the nuisance and potential health detriment of the dust, and the effects of the water near my home.
1) We have one of the best views in Colorado overlooking the valley and pastures below us, and the beautiful mountains. The gravel pit with dirt road connecting it to Highway 50 is planned within the currently tranquil pastures below my home where I often watch the cows grazing. If my neighbor follows through with the gravel pit the pastures will no longer be a tranquil landscape.
2) The noise will not only come from the crusher and equipment digging out the gravel but also the trucks driving to and fro. They are estimating 11 loads a day which will be 22 trucks passing through per day, for six days a week. They cannot tell us what noise level from the trucks or the machinery in the pit itself will produce. I am hard of hearing and the increased background noise is going to decrease my ability to hear what little I can. My home will go from a constantly peaceful setting to one in which I will only have one day of peace and quiet per week.
3) At this point they are planning to use Grand View Ditch water which is meant to be used for agricultural purposes. Using this water for a gravel pit will take away from scarce resources that support agricultural production. An alternative that has been mentioned is to haul in domestic water from Crawford, water allocated for household use, not mining. This could very well put a strain on the system Crawford currently uses. Once the issue of where the water comes from is addressed there is the other issue regarding the chemicals that will be added to the water and which will contaminate our ground, the water we drink and the water that makes it to the agricultural projects it was originally intended for.
4) The increase in the amount of dust in the surrounding areas from the pit will not just be dirt blowing in the wind, but will contain silicates. Silicates have been proven to be very harmful to our lungs. This is a serious hazard which needs to be addressed and further researched prior to allowing the pit. The winds blow both east and west through this area and the increase in dust will not only affect the immediate surroundings but also the town of Crawford.
5) The adverse effects of the gravel pit could very likely hurt home values as well. When my time does come, I would like to leave behind the perfect dream home that my husband and I envisioned when we bought this land so many years ago. I do not want to leave my daughter a burden she cannot sell. Because, honestly, who wants to pay for a home with obscured views, noise pollution, and air pollution from dust? I would not have wanted my grandchildren subject to such conditions in my home and I do not want to subject my great-grandchildren to these conditions either.
If the gravel pit is to go in, maybe I'll be the lucky one and pass on before I have to see it come to fruition.
Estelle Jackson

Apple's 'mapology'
Apple's Maps app was released as part of iOS 6 in late September. Besides a new look and feel, the main feature is spoken turn-by-turn directions, something the software had lacked. Apple's own software also adds a snazzy 3D view of select cities using imagery captured from flyovers, something only users on Apple's newer devices can take advantage of.
Despite the niceties, the software came under fire for the accuracy of some of its data and other shortcomings compared with the Google-powered app it replaced. Shortly after its release, and subsequent scrutiny, Apple CEO Tim Cook publicly … Read more

Although I was born in South Africa and was privileged enough to travel all over the world, I flew away from the land of my birth and the life I had when I met and fell completely in love with a gentle Canadian who wrote me poems and asked me to marry him, promising to take me to 'Hear the Aurora sing and the wolves howl in concert�. Now I live in beautiful British Columbia, a place of towering snow-capped mountains, glacier-fed aquamarine rivers and enormous forests teeming with incredible wildlife. I have stood on a glacier, caught jumping salmon in enormous rivers and walked through fields carpeted with wildflowers. One crystal clear night I lay in the field and watched shooting stars streaking above while learning about the unfamiliar constellations, trying to turn my head upside down so I could see Orion looking the way it did in the Southern Hemisphere.
I paint because I cannot do otherwise. I paint because if I don�t I become unhappy and sad. Most of all, I paint best the things that filled and fill me with joy and excitement, like the ocean and waves which I no longer can see nor hear now. During the long winter months I paint butterflies, they are symbols of what it felt like to fly away to freedom. And all the while, I continue trying to achieve what Matisse wrote, �I continue painting until the hand sings� .
I have been very privileged to have my work featured on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_emb... by Pemero, an amazing artist whose work can be seen here http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/petko-pemaro.... For this honour Petko Pemero, thank you!!
