Marc Raymond, Ted Fowler and Brian Konechny have announced that Thomas Folsom has joined the Sales & Integration team at Epic Production Technologies. Folsom's exceptional combination of conceptual, creative and management skills have shaped his impressive two-decade career in the professional lighting industry, including two years as head of the Strand Lighting division of Philips Electronics Group and six years as president of Electronics Diversified.
As an independent consultant to the County of Los Angeles, Folsom directly oversaw the design, development and renovation of the Mark Taper Forum—an award-winning $30-million, three-year renovation that was completed both on time and on budget. He has completed major projects in New York, Washington, Atlantic City, Houston, San Francisco, Argentina, Japan, China and Brazil. Folsom earned his Master's Degree in Theatre History and Lighting at the University of Nebraska and completed a specialty program in Management at the Duke University School of Business.
Working directly with executive vice president Brian Konechny and vice president sales Larry Darling, Folsom will spearhead Epic's initiative to expand its sales and integration presence in the U.S. and International markets. The company has already gained significant recognition for such high profile projects as the 4 custom interactive LED installations at the Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Campus in Redmond, Washington, The NOKIA (now Best Buy) Theatre in New York City, the NOKIA Theatre and Club NOKIA at LA LIVE in Los Angeles, Indigo at 02 London, WaMu Theatre at Quest Field in Seattle, the indoor/outdoor interactive lighting, rigging and video system for the Vancouver Canucks, and most recently 5 Towers, the high tech, interactive outdoor arena at Universal CityWalk.
Ted Doumazios, an industry veteran and long-time associate, will join Folsom and the Epic team, bringing his vast experience in lighting and theatrical infrastructure to the company. Doumazios, who began his career under the mentorship of the late Larry Kellermann and was most recently Sales Director with Lights Up Cue Sound, will continue to work from the New York area where he has a well-established client base.
"Epic's reputation is built on the expertise of its outstanding talent pool and the company is thrilled to welcome these dynamic and highly respected professionals to the Sales & Integration division, adding that as technology becomes more and more complex, clients in this sector will increasingly rely on comprehensive, integrated turnkey solutions," says Konechny.

|Cavs' 4th-quarter rally sinks Lady Jays
|Friday, January 04, 2013 1:58 PM
The Lady Blue Jays led Coldwater 34-28 heading into the final period.
Alas for the Jays, basketball is a 4-quarter game and the Lady Cavaliers owned the finale 17-7 to grab a 45-41 victory.
"We weren't tough enough to finish this game. They upped their pressure on both ends of the floor and we didn't respond," Jays mentor Dan J. Grothouse said. "We didn't handle their defensive pressure and either turned the ball over, missed the shots we took or didn't take shots we should have. Then they just beat us down the floor; we didn't get back defensively. We have to toughen up to win these games."
Recker and Kanney renewed their battle in the second period, with Recker netting six and Kanney five. However, St. John's junior Erica Saine (8 counters) gave her teammate a little more support with four markers, while the only other Cavalier to score was Bruns with a basket. Saine's mid-lane pull-up jumper at 1:02 gave the host their biggest lead of 21-12 but Kanney scored all her points, including a 26-footer from out front at 6.1 ticks, to get within 21-17.
Even though both team shot well in the third — combining for 10-of-16 — they had to work hard to get those looks. Kanney continued her consistency, scoring another five markers, but this time it was St. John's junior Emilie Fischbach who more than matched that with a pair of triples. Every time the Jays seemed on the verge of putting it away, the Lady Cavs had the answer. Fischbach's triple from the left wing at 1:15 put her squad up 34-26 but Kanney hit a running 5-foot teardrop at 50 ticks to make it 34-28.
"That was a problem all game. We had chances to build bigger leads or even put it away and we didn't make the plays needed," Grothouse added. "We'd have a turnover or a missed shot and they'd beat us down the floor to get an easy look. We did a lot of good things tonight and we did show improvement. Now we just have to play for four quarters and do so consistently."
In sum, Coldwater finished 17-of-40 (3-of-7 triples) for 42.5 percent; 8-of-13 at the line (61.5%); with 25 caroms (9 offensive); and adding 12 turnovers and a mere seven fouls. Megan Muhlenkamp delivered five assists and three steals before fouling out.
In toto, St. John's was 15-of-38 shooting from the field (8-of-19 long range) for 39.5 percent; hit all three singles; nabbed 22 boards (5 offensive) as Vorst had seven; and totaled 16 fouls. Junior Brooke Zuber handed off five dimes. They visit Fort Jennings for a 12:30 p.m. (junior varsity start) clash Saturday.

Scarpa Kailash GTX

I recently purchased a pair of Scarpa Kailash GTX…
Materials: Gore-tex, leather
Use: rough trail, roots, wet ground, hills
Break-in Period: none required
Weight: 2.1 LB
Price Paid: $175
I recently purchased a pair of Scarpa Kailash GTX boots, and went on my first backpack trip with them September 20, 2008. It was a one night 10 mile trip, so not a long one. However, for not having a chance to break them in the comfort was amazing! They also supported my feet well, which considering my weak ankles is important.
I also have problems with plantar faciaitis, and my orthotics combined with the Vibram sole of this boot produced comfort and pain free walking which I did not get with my previous boot. I have not had these boots long, but I now can look forward to long trips and happy feet at the end of the day!

Source: bought it new
The Scarpa Kailash GTX is comfortable, has a versatle weight, is breathable and is great for people with narrow heals and feet.
- Comfort, durability, breathable
- Good for narrow feet
- Good gripping sole for both loose rock as well as mud
- No full leather version—I liked that aspect of the old Sundowner
Let me start with the fact that I went through many boots to finally land on this one. I had some of the old Italian made Vasque Sundowner GTX boots for over 8 years and I thought nothing could ever come close. I was wrong.
I have narrow heels as well as feet in general so I was told by numerous people to give Scarpa or LaSportiva a try. I tried both and decided on the Kailash GTX given the lighter weight and good construction. I saw it as a versitle boot that could either be used for day hikes or on longer backpacking adventures.
I love this boot. It is extremely durable, shows little wear after many miles, is very breathable as well. I also no longer get blisters even when it's humid outside. I am a Scarpa person now
Excellent, supportive boot. Waterproof. Flexible.
Excellent, supportive boot. Waterproof. Flexible. Medium weight. Comfortable straight out of the box.
- Weight
- Flexible
- Gore-tex liner
- Tough sole unit
- Footbed inserts do not match the quality of the rest of the boot.
The best hiking boot I've ever used. A relatively narrow boot, not everyone has broad feet! It's certainly not the lightest boot out there, but it's certainly not in the heavy-range either.
At last, I've found a Gore-tex-lined boot that actually keeps the water out. I've been through three different types of Salomon Gore-tex-lined boots, all supposedly waterproof, yet they all leaked through the seams almost from being brand new.
The Kailash's I've walked repeatedly through streams that were just below the top of the boot, and my feet have remained dry the entire trip — very important in the winter months.
I take 1 star off for the lightweight footbed inserts. I replaced them with proper shock-absorbing inserts, to make the boots near-perfect.
Highly recommended!

Sennheiser Electronics Corporation is very pleased to have hired Sebnem (Sebi) Altug to the position of project manager for Marketing Communications. In addition to a fresh perspective, she brings nearly a decade of experience in marketing & communications, marketing research, and advertising & film to the job. In coordination with the industry team leaders and product managers of Sennheiser's many distribution channels, Altug will manage key communication projects for all Sennheiser products and services. These projects include national trade shows, printed marketing material, Internet marketing initiatives, and trade marketing and/or branding initiatives. In this role she will be directing outside vendors, keeping close reigns on production schedules, and ensuring the quality control of communications under her purview. In addition, she will manage the annual media schedule for Sennheiser in the USA.
Altug's marketing experience is as broad as it is deep and places her in a great stead to take on the challenges of her new position. She has worked for Inviso GmbH Communication & Marketing Research as project supervisor; Zollanvari AG as a freelance marketing and product communications specialist; brand:marke GmbH, agency for integrated communication as a marketing manager and customer service specialist; MAP GmbH, television, video and film productions as a project and unit manager; and spent the last 15 months at Sennheiser Electronic GmbH & Co., KG as marketing and product communications specialist.
About her new position, Altug comments, "I came to Sennheiser not only because its high-quality products are legendary in so many segments of the pro audio marketplace, but because its people and company culture align so well with my ideals. Sennheiser remains a family-owned company, which is remarkable given its success, and that outlook is evident when working within the close-knit teams both here and in Germany. I really feel as if I'm part of a family working at Sennheiser."Stefanie Reichert, vice president of strategic marketing and Altug's immediate supervisor says, "Sebi's broad experience and 'can-do' work ethic make her an ideal fit for this newly created position. She's able to work on multiple projects simultaneously without losing focus, is well organized and detail-oriented, and extraordinarily capable of communicating across departments and across product lines. In addition, she's a pleasure to have around!"

Start by climbing an open corner with some face features and difficult stemming/smearing to a large pod. To protect this, use a blue Alien below the pod. You can also stick clip or maybe toss in a large stopper into the crack above. Above the pod, climb an offwidth crack with nice face features. The crack eventually turns into nice hands before the anchor on the right. Rating this climb is difficult as the initial moves are pretty hard (bouldery) and the crack above is maybe 10+/11-. A fun climb, in my opinion.
Located 50 feet right of the popular hand crack, Unnamed 5.11-, on the left side of Broken Tooth. Climbs a right facing corner with a large pod 15 feet up. Plaque at the base.
The start takes a blue Alien and/or a large stopper. Above, cams from #1 Camalot to new #5 or #6 Camalot, with doubles in #4. Two bolt chain anchor.

Research conducted by ING U.S. underscores the growing role that retirement income planning continues to play in the readiness levels of working Americans. The study, Retirement Income Re...
Retirement Income
As a retirement leader, Voya Financial has a long heritage of retirement income solutions and experience built on actuarial and underwriting expertise. Voya offers a comprehensive suite of retirement income products and services to help individuals to and through retirement, including an in-plan guaranteed income solution available for 401(k) plan participants; a deferred fixed annuity product for retirees; and a retirement income practice management program for ING Financial Partners' financial advisors.
The ING Lifetime Income Protection program is an institutionally designed and priced target date asset allocation program available for 401(k) participants of small and mid-sized employers. It features guaranteed and non-guaranteed elements that address both the accumulation and the draw down phases of retirement planning. The program helps 401(k) investors build savings while securing a stream of lifetime retirement income guaranteed by multiple leading insurers.
The ING Lifetime Income annuity product is a fixed annuity that offers retirees flexibility, income growth potential and built-in guarantees. The product provides income benefits that step up based on the number of years an individual delays income withdrawals and that are linked to changes in the S&P 500® Index. Alongside this, the product allows flexibility to access funds as an individual's needs shift in retirement.
Voya Financial, through its broker-dealer, ING Financial Partners, offers a retirement income practice management program that can help financial advisors address important lifetime income planning needs with clients. The program includes seminars, action plans, online tools and a structured framework that financial advisors can follow with their clients.
The company conducted a two-part research effort in June 2013 on the topic of retirement income. The study, Retirement Income Redefined, highlights how important it is for more Americans to continue shifting their thinking from an "accumulation-only" mindset to include effective strategies that address the draw-down phase of retirement. The study underscored some thought-provoking gaps between the perceptions and realities many people may face with respect to their own retirement security.

Solved! Go to Solution.
You could try looking at the XrefGraph for the drawing - see Database.GetHostDwgXrefGraph(). Here's a blog post that shows how to use that function, although not for the same reason you want it - http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_t
First You have to realize how does the xrefs works. The external references are placed in block table as a block table records. They are in a flat structure (opposite to tree structure) it means if we have attached drawing which have another external references, those references will be in top level in block table or they will be entity in model space.
Here is explaination:
BlockTable in MainDrawing will look like this:
- Attached.jpg
- ... another block talbe records
We can check if attached drawing is external reference by property IsXref.
Dim AcadDocument As AcadDocument = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Acad
Document For Each block As AcadBlock In AcadDocument.Blocks If block.IsXRef OrElse block.ObjectID = AcadDrawing.ModelSpace.ObjectID Then ' Your code here End If Next
If drawing is xref we can get its path, and open that document in background.
Dim drawing As Database = New Database(False, True) drawing.ReadDwgFile(pathToReference, FileOpenMode.OpenForReadAndAllShare, True, Nothing)
You can search for each references in opened drawing and check if there are external references by Property IsFromExternalReference. If drawing contain external reference it means that it's nested reference.
Unfortunatelly the best way for doing this is recursion because nested references can appear on different level. The worst information is in some case You can have the same reference on different lvl or duplicated references... . It's long and hard way...
Dim blockTable As BlockTable = DirectCast(tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTable) For Each blockTableRecId As ObjectId In blockTable Dim blockTableRec = tr.GetObject(blockTableRecId, OpenMode.ForRead) If blockTableRec.IsFromExternalReference ' Is nested reference
Thank you
Dim bt As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.BlockTable
Dim btr As BlockTableRecord
Dim blockId As ObjectId
Dim iter As IEnumerator
Dim xg As XrefGraph = db.GetHostDwgXrefGraph(False)
bt = trans.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead)
iter = bt.GetEnumerator() Do While iter.MoveNext()
blockId = iter.Current btr = trans.GetObject(blockId, OpenMode.ForWrite)
If btr.IsFromExternalReference Then
If Not xg.GetXrefNode(btr.Name).IsNested Then
btr.IsUnloaded = True
If btr.IsUnloaded = True Then
Dim aa As New SiWeb.BaseFileVersion(btr.PathName)
End If
End If
End If
