We're going down by the river to answer a Good Question. Don't worry, we took a truck - not a van. Dave Lamb in Cape Coral wants to know:
"What is going on in the Caloosahatchee River near the Midpoint Bridge? I see poles in the water and floating barriers?"
I went to the Horton Park boat ramp to find the answer. A few hundred feet out from shore, you can see the source of this good question.
Dale Varner comes to water's edge to play. "I've caught trout out here."
Within his line of sight are people who come to the Caloosahatchee to work.
"I'd assume they're dredging the channel deeper."
He's correct. Poles sticking up a few hundred feet away are connected to a barge carrying dredging equipment.
"It's probably shallow enough that people are hitting the bottom," Varner said.
If you look long enough, you'll see the barge move. Four times a day the boat comes in to dump what they've dug. "We'll come back in and off-load it," said the boat's captain Pete Montgomery.
Mud that is taken from the river ends up in an open lot near the Horton boat ramp. It will dry out and then stay in the city to be used as fill dirt for a construction project.
"Before this we were down at the Cape Coral Yacht Club," said Montgomery.
He's talking about Red Fish Point. Normandy and Plato Canals will also be dredged. They'll soon finish this job at Everest Canal. North of the Midpoint Bridge, Chantry's Canal is already finished.
Money to pay for the dredging comes from the West Coast Inland Navigational District which is funded through Lee County property taxes. The total cost for the five channels is $400,000.
The Caloosahatchee's current will decide how long before this Good Question comes up again.
"Because all southwest Florida is like a big sandbar," Montgomery said.

Springtails are tiny insects belonging to the order Collembola. About 700 species of springtails occur in North America, and more than 6,000 worldwide (Figure 1). They are wingless and have limited vision. These and other primitive features have convinced some scientists to exclude springtails from the class Insecta, placing them instead in a separate, exclusive class called Collembola.
Springtails are only about 1 to 2 mm long but can rapidly move 3 to 4 inches in a single motion. This represents a distance of about 100 times their body length. Springtails move rapidly because of a "springing" device on their abdomen called a furcula. The furcula is a hinged appendage that is bent forward and is held in place by a latch mechanism called a tenaculum (Figure 2). When the furcula is released, it springs down, sending the springtail through the air.
Figure 1Three representative species of springtails.
Figure 2Springtail anatomy.
Another interesting anatomical feature of springtails is a ventral tube called a collophore, which projects down under the first abdominal segment. The collophore is wet and sticky, and helps a springtail adhere to surfaces. It is also used for water uptake. Springtails are able to breathe through their thin body covering. Water is also able to pass through this covering. Because of the ease with which moisture can escape their bodies, springtails are extremely sensitive to drying out, and many species inhabit soil. It has been estimated that as many as 50,000 springtails can inhabit 1 cubic foot of organic topsoil.
The soil contains sufficient moisture and food for springtails to survive. Their food includes decaying vegetation, fungi, bacteria, pollen, algae, lichens and insect feces. The feeding activities of springtails enrich the soil by breaking down these forms of organic matter and releasing the nutrients they contain. Because of these activities, springtails are considered to be a good indicator of soil health.
Figure 3"Snow fleas" are black springtails that feed on the surface of old snow banks.
Springtails occur in moist habitats almost everywhere except under water. Many species of springtails even live in the tidal zones of the seashore. They often attract attention when large numbers are seen floating on the surface of trapped tidal pools. Other species are called snow fleas (Figure 3) because large groups of them will occasionally congregate on old snow banks, where they feed on algae and fungal spores. Snow fleas are usually a velvety black color and stand out in vivid contrast to the snow.
Springtails invade structures in search of moisture when their usual habitat becomes dry. Their usual outdoor habitats include mulch, leaf litter, other decaying organic matter, firewood, logs and landscape timbers. They are attracted to light and are so small that they can enter houses through cracks and crevices around doors, utility pipes, window screens, etc. They can also be brought indoors in the soil of potted plants.
Indoors, they are most often found in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, crawlspaces and basements. Moldy furniture is also able to support large infestations.
Homeowners who see these tiny, grayish insects in and around houseplant containers are often concerned that they are likely to harm their plants; however, this is not the case. Springtail activity is an indication of healthy, moist, organically rich soil. If springtails remain confined to the soil of houseplants, it is not necessary to initiate control measures unless there are so many that they cause a nuisance.
When springtails are found in and around bathtubs and showers, these areas must be cleaned thoroughly and kept dry to correct the problem. For a temporary solution to indoor springtail problems, you can use a household aerosol spray; however, the problem will recur if the sources of moisture and organic matter are not removed.
Springtails may be found in wooden windowsills where moisture is causing the wood to decay. Removing the cause of the moisture and refinishing the wood surface will eliminate the attractiveness of these areas.
Occasionally, large numbers of springtails congregate on the surface of the soil in masses as large as a softball. Often, these masses appear on a sidewalk, patio or concrete porch. Usually there is no need to do anything, because the masses usually disappear in a day or two. However, if immediate removal is desired, just spray the mass with water to disperse or wash it away.
If control is necessary, treat the soil surface of potted plants with an insecticide dust or aerosol that lists springtails on the label. Several products containing pyrethroids (products with various names ending in -thrin) are labeled for use around the home.
Apply chemicals only where needed or justified. Before using any chemical, please read the label carefully for directions on application procedures, appropriate rate, first aid, storage and disposal. Make sure that the chemical is properly registered for use on the intended pest and follow all other label directions. Keep insecticides in original containers, complete with labels, and keep them out of the reach of children and pets. Do not allow children or pets near treated areas before these areas dry. Carefully and properly dispose of unused portions of diluted sprays and empty insecticide containers.

Again, this noob is having problems doing the simplest of tasks while learning Inventor Fusion.
I am trying to learn how to use the Revolve command and after following the directions here
I am stuck at Step 3 where it says "Select the axis for the revolution. If the selected axis is not on the sketch plane, the axis is temporarily projected to the plane."
As shown from my screenshot, no matter what I do, there is no axis choice projected on the screen for me to choose so I can't complete the Revolve command.
Please see screenshot
Can someone please let me know what I am missing?
Thanks very much.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You have an open profile - so make sure you opt for a Surface revolution as the output.
Then select the appropriate axis from the browser (or sketch your axis line in the sketch).
In this image I drew the axis in the profile sketch rather than select an origin axis.
Attach your file here if it still doesn't work.
JD, you have come through for me yet again! Thank you so much!
I am amazed at how many of the times I have tried to follow the intructions on the wikiHelp pages only to find that they are often hard to understand from a newbie's perspective or either just plain wrong or leave out critical steps.
That is why I am doubly-appreciative of helpful folks like yourself.
Again, thank you, JD!

I couldn't find the exact instruction you were referencing???????????
Hi JD. I included the link to the instructions in my original post but here it is again:
There is a "sublink" called "Create a revolved surface".
It lists 6 steps to follow and step number 3 is completely wrong and that is what prevented me from accomplishing the Revolved Surface.
Your intructions were bang-on though so thank you!

text: A Distinguished Meal at Chefs' Holidays A Distinguished Meal at Chefs' Holidays by Susannah Chen 1/15/10 12 Reactions 1 Shares Print 0 1 0 0 0 On Tuesday, the first session of The Ahwahnee Hotel's 25th annual Chefs' Holidays came to a close with a blowout dinner — and my lucky self was there to partake in the event. At the cooperative dinner, each of the chefs prepared one dish in the five-course meal, which was served by candlelight in a majestic dining room lined with sugar pine trestles and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcased Yosemite Park. Between the jawdropping ambiance and the even more impressive food, it was certainly a Winter evening to remember. For my favorite moments, read on. On the Line What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I snuck into the kitchen before the event, and caught a line of about 12 chefs plating each course as it came out. Here, Manresa proprietor David Kinch plates a squab dish with painstaking detail. 1 / 7 Yellowtail Crudo What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ahwahnee executive chef (and Bocuse d'Or semifinalist) Percy Whatley kicked off the dinner with a crudo, or raw fish dish, of yellowtail. It was garnished with roasted citrus, baba ghanoush, and sorrel sprouts, and paired with one of my favorites, 2008 St. Supéry Sauvignon Blanc. 2 / 7 Diver Scallop What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The star of the second course — the favorite course of the table — was one lone, perfect diver scallop; it sat atop a sweet chestnut purée, and was served with roasted beets, fuyu persimmon, and a black truffle sauce. "I could eat a whole bowl of this black truffle sauce!" one diner exclaimed. The dish, created by Cal Stamenov of Bernardus Lodge, was served with a honey-scented 2008 Trefethen Dry Riesling. 3 / 7 Breast of Squab What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The middle course was a squab dish contrived by David Kinch. He served the slow-roasted squab breast with a crisp-skinned leg and a multi-layered cabbage creation made with "exotic spices." It was the most intriguing element of the dish, which stood up against a 2007 J Pinot Noir. 4 / 7 Venison Chop What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I was first alerted to this dish, made by chef Matt Bolton of Pacific's Edge, when I smelled the unmistakably woodsy scent of rosemary. And if I weren't in a fine dining setting, I might've considered gnawing at the bone of the perfectly medium-rare venison chop — it was that succulent. The red meat's big flavors were a match made in heaven with a meaty, fruit-forward 2005 Zaca Mesa Syrah. 6 / 7 Fruit Cache What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ahwahnee pastry chef Paul Padua closed the meal with an elegant dessert. A "passionfruit splash" tied together a layered composition of chocolate, praline cream, and green apple, a mango ice cream quenelle, and cubes of pear gelée. 6 / 7 The Chefs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Post-dinner, the stars of the kitchen gathered around moderator (and James Beard Foundation Programming Director Izabela Wojcik) for a photo op in the dining room. 7 / 7 0 1 0 0 0 Read More James Beard HouseIzabela WojcikPaul PaduaPercy WhatleyPacific's EdgeMatt BoltonBernardusCal StamenovManresaDavid KinchThe Ahwahnee Hotel2010 Chefs' HolidaysYosemiteSlideshowExclusiveEvents Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Thanks coreylag for the chance to try this one.
Very pale gold color with a fine persistent carbonation that produces a medium head and lacing.
Herbal/spicy aroma. Flavor is crisp and dry with notes of lemon, spice and herbal hops.
Light bodied with a buoyant carbonation. Goes down easy. Light but surprisingly flavorful.
A great choice for this prematurely summer day in May. Very refreshing.

Complementing products to make your cloth diapering experience easy!
GroVia One Size Hybrid DiaperThe GroVia one-size hybrid diaper system is a revolution in cloth diapering. Our innovative shell design minimizes diaper waste and cost.When your soaker pad is wet, simply snap in a fresh soaker pad.
SMART IDEAS by our customers
"...I use just about the entire line of GroVia® products (AIO, Hybrid, Newborn AIO, and the My Choice Trainers, plus the BioLiners, BioSoakers®, cloth wipes, wetbags,
and pail liners) and I've never been let down. They have something for
every stage we've gone through and have never failed us! ...All of the
GroVia® diapers are much trimmer than other cloth diapers I've tried out
and best of all they fit my skinny legged baby who all of a sudden
became a chunky legged tot....
AI2's have been one of the first diapers we used. I was reading up on
diapers that fit well on skinny legs and waists, and would not create a
huge bum on baby. Quickly I found GroVia®. I got a few hook & loop
and a few snaps closing diapers and started prepping the
and boosters. After a few washes they were ready for baby. Amazing fit
on our baby (by now 15 months)! I loved the hook & loop; especially
for a small baby and still now it's convenient for a baby that does not
stay put for a second during diaper changes. The hook & loop is
different to most other brands; it is still working well after a year of
use. Even more than the cotton soakers, I love the
I like their shape; so narrow that they are very trim when added to a
diaper. Plus they are great in any other diaper as well - even the
smallest pocket diapers.
-Holly T. 5/13/2011, Reviewing the BumRite Birth to Potty Training Package
After a while I got a GroVia® AIO
and I have to say these are one of the trimmest diapers we own, even
trimmer than the AI2! I really like their fit and how you can get any
type of pants or jeans to fit with them. Baby's bum is comparable to one
diapered with disposables. Love the fact that Grovia® is using organic
cotton. The legs of the AIO sit tight, yet we don't get red marks. The
side snaps need a bit of getting used to but allow that great fit. The
AIO with an added booster is my favorite when we leave the house. With
GroVia® on baby, we always get positive feedback in regards to the
cuteness factor from other moms and friends. Recently, I had a problem
with the leg elastic on one diaper. The customer service has been great.
Very quick and professional.

The QNX CAR 2 application platform covers the vehicle infotainment sector has now been recognized as a International CES Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree, in the Software & Mobile Apps category. If you're not familiar with the awards, in order to be considered, a product needs to demonstrate innovative design and engineering and judges have now determined the QNX CAR 2 platforms fits in nicely there.
To celebrate, you'll be able to check out the QNX CAR 2 application platform at CES Unveiled on January 6th in addition to the other exhibits that can be viewed when CES 2013 fully kicks off in the Las Vegas Convention Center. Need more details? Jump below to check out the full press release from QNX.
"This has been a tremendous year for us, especially for the QNX CAR 2 application platform, which has seen exceptional validation from the automotive community," said Derek Kuhn, vice president, sales and marketing, QNX Software Systems. "We look forward to continuing this momentum throughout 2013, and the CES Innovations Design and Engineering award is a great way to start the new year."
To be selected as an Innovation honoree, a product needs to demonstrate innovative design and engineering. For example, it may be the first product to combine various technologies or it may offer dramatic enhancements over previous product designs.
Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering honoree products are featured on the CES Innovation Awards web page, which lists product categories, as well as each product name, manufacturer information, designer, description, photo and URL.

Did we just see the voice command system for BB10? :D
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Nov 13, 2012 at 7:13 pm
That's like saying we have seen the bb10 browser if you have seen the playbook browser
jordandrews90 Nov 13, 2012 at 7:42 pm
Well there's no voice control on the Playbook, so how is that the same? They've made this for the QNX Car 2 at the same time they're making BB10 OS, I don't think they would bother making 2 different voice systems...
BB_Bmore Nov 13, 2012 at 7:15 pm
I want a BlackBerry10 car seriously BlackBerry logo and all. RIM and Cadillac would have been my dream machine but that's gonna be just that...a dream. I can settle for a BB Lexus though.
Saw this video many months ago and html5 is coming along beautifully.
jordandrews90 Nov 13, 2012 at 7:44 pm
I want a BB car too but please don't make it a Cadillac or Lexus :p To each his own, I suppose.
NateFulton2010 Nov 13, 2012 at 8:35 pm
Maybe you could do what this guy did for the Nokia Lumia! It would be a truly original BlackBerry car!
vlcmfreak7 Nov 13, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Looks promising, I wonder if they are going to rename it to BlackBerry CAR 2 Platform.
On a lighter note, new drinking game! Take a shot every time Sheridan says um. :)
jordandrews90 Nov 13, 2012 at 8:48 pm
or "and again..." :p I would rather they don't call it Blackberry though, Even if Blackberry were to become the #1 OS again, it would be confusing for people who don't use a BB, and possibly a turn off. I would rather be able to go around and say "you know your car runs QNX which is built by Research in Motion aka Blackberry ;)"
revtech Nov 13, 2012 at 8:01 pm
Liked seeing the BlackBerry logo used as a menu button on the bottom right; gives me hope that the dot dot dot menu button on the dev alpha will actually be a BB button at launch like some have hoped for.
elmit22 Nov 13, 2012 at 8:33 pm
hopefully this will lead to some kind of BlackBerry Bridge between BB10 and my car. pair up then voice activate a contact and QNX Car2 plots a course to their house via gps. when i get about a mile from their automatically phones up to tell friends to start making the tea. :-)
NateFulton2010 Nov 13, 2012 at 8:36 pm
It will be really interesting to see if BlackBerry / RIM takes QNX technology and further implement them in other industries. I read that they are already used in many high tech places like nuclear power plants, military applications, etc...
thecsman Nov 13, 2012 at 10:34 pm
How does this pan out compared to other vehicles' control panels? (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc.)
ezapper2 Nov 14, 2012 at 12:38 am
i love this! is this what they put in the cop cars? CA and UK
Rootbrian Nov 14, 2012 at 3:07 am
I don't drive, but this is great news!
djhaggarty Nov 14, 2012 at 3:32 am
Its great to see the powers of qnx shown here. Also the close similarities with the playbook functionality.
I guess the car will need its own contract though (as the demo seemed to be working too fast for internet tethering!)
Also I'm not sure how all this works when you drive out of town and theres no web signal?
Costa84 Nov 14, 2012 at 3:32 am
Unfortunately, I just bought a whole new navigation/audio system for my vehicle. I feel that this could have done everything mine does, and more! I also think, that it'll use the same receivers as any other system, but with different software, and a full touch screen.
G-bone Nov 14, 2012 at 3:38 am
The Future = QNX = BB 10 = FTW!!
randall2580 Nov 14, 2012 at 9:12 am
can you buy this in any car yet?
Nice to see the BB logo on the display but why is QNX advertising for Apple ? Should be showing the system connect with BB phone and playing music from the BB. Nothing like helping promote the competition.
kozmo68 Nov 14, 2012 at 3:56 pm
I think they we're more concerned to show people that the system has compatibility with other product. and Since Apple is one of the largest consumer products it only makes sense.. Don't get me wrong I by no means like apple products.. Plus having the BB logo already displayed, it's a given it links with BB products.
Can we load some of those apps into the PlayBook?
Paunngaq Nov 14, 2012 at 3:10 pm
So if I have this system in my car and if I have BB10 will I be able to remote start my car from inside my house? I know there are remote car starts out there that act as key chains, but I find those cumbersome, you have to go to the window and point at your car and it is a bit of hassle sometimes. I figure with the power of QNX and the power of BB10 one may be able to press a button on ones phone from anywhere really and have their car start up.
BBPandy Nov 14, 2012 at 5:31 pm
That already exists. I can start my car with my keychain from upto a mile away.
I can also start it with my phone from anywhere in the world (as long as I have a data connection & pay the $50 a year subscription)
Paunngaq Nov 14, 2012 at 7:52 pm
I guess I'm a little out of touch when it comes to automobiles and technology :D
thanks for the enlightenment.

Anyone spot the Bold 99xx?
Look at about 1:05 or so - top right icon for text messages - uses an icon that is a Bold 99xx.!

My app is translated into 9 national languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Hindi, Russian, & Arabic.
However, I've hit a really odd problem on S40 SDK 2. It cannot read the Chinese resource file - end of file is reached when attempting to read the first byte!
All nine resource files can be read in S40 E3 & E6 and S60 emulators. The same behaviour is found on actual devices (I have used exactly the same build (JAD/JAR) on each emulator and device).
The following resource file snippets are in English and Chinese respectively:
1000=HTTP authorisation failed
1010=Bad HTTP request
1020=Customer information failed
1030=Delivery limit exceeded
1040=Error in connecting to drm server
I have worked around the problem by loading the English resource file if no keys are loaded into the hash map, but I think this is a platform bug.

Tim from Portage asks: What is the perfect circle on the radar the last two nights?
Answer: It sounds like you may have been witnessing ground clutter as a result of an inversion. On a clear night, when a radar is in clear, air mode and there is calm weather, there is super-refraction due to an inversion; which is where temperature near the surface increases with height. A strong inversion can cause an increase in back-scattered radiation which can make it look as though there is an abundance in radar returns.

Adam Jones and the Baltimore Orioles have come to terms on six-year contract extension, a source told FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal. The Orioles are expected to hold a press conference Sunday announcing the deal.
The deal has been in the works for a while now. The Orioles are in the midst of a resurgent season, and Jones is a major reason why. Baltimore is still hanging on to first place in the AL East while the the center fielder is hitting .310/.353/.594 with 14 home runs this season.
Terms of the deal haven't yet been disclosed, though Rosenthal reported Friday that deal could be in the $85 million range. Jones was set to hit free agency after the 2013 season. Assuming the new deal absorbs the one year left on his current contract, the 26-year-old should remain in Baltimore through the 2018 season.
For more on Jones and the Orioles, check out the SB Nation blog Camden Chat.
