Getting down to business
When Brody Hatch, Artsci'14, didn't see the products he wanted in the marketplace, he decided to create them himself.
Brody is the founder and owner of Nude Voice Apparel, a socially conscious clothing brand that launched recently. "When you're nude, you expose yourself. You bare who you are and what you represent, and that's something I wanted to represent in clothing," says Brody, who brought his younger brother Brett on board to teach him about business.
This isn't the first company he's created. He started a clothing brand when he was in high school, and these days the third-year film and media student runs a marketing design and event management company.
Brody's business ventures have meant he sometimes has to forego sleep and struggles to keep up with school, but he wouldn't have it any other way. "There's really no other time in life when you can take such large risks, when you can try new things, in terms of starting a business," he says. "You may fail, but this is when you'll learn."
Brody is one of a growing number of young innovators who are responding to the tight North American job market by creating their own business opportunities. The CBC reported on the trend in 2011, citing a statistic that three per cent of small business owners in 2007 were under the age of 30; however, this number is growing. "I see people who are graduating, don't have jobs, and are coming back to school," Brody says.
By launching its Initiative Campaign last fall, Queen's is trying to make it easier for students like Brody Hatch to pursue their own ventures. A priority of the Campaign, which aims to raise a total of $500 million by 2016, is innovation and global leadership initiative. The objectives of this initiative include fostering homegrown innovators in the technology field and offering help with start-up incubation.
While entrepreneurship has always been the goal for Brody, he says the opportunities available at Queen's have been instrumental in his success.
"I looked at [a Queen's education] as unlimited resources. I think that's what all students should do," he says. "You may not necessarily be fully into all of the courses you're taking, or you may not know where you're going after graduation, but the resources that are available here – the profs, the people, the network – use those to your advantage to kind of create your own opportunities."
Brody has networked extensively with alumni entrepreneurs, largely through social media, which he has leveraged with the help of Film and Media studies professor Sidneyeve Matrix. Brody operates a website (nudevoice.org) to promote the company's silkscreened apparel and a twitter account (@MYNAKEDVOICE) to engage customers.
Brody says he also likes to connect and collaborate with other aspiring entrepreneurs on campus. The AMS's Queen's Entrepreneur Networking Club, which has established a "community or platform for entrepreneurial students," is led by computing science student and entrepreneur Michael Wong, Cmp'15.
Queen's also attracts budding entrepreneurs through competitions such as Queen's Advancing Canadian Entrepreneurship and the Queen's Entrepreneurs' Competition.
Derek Szeto, Com'05, says business competitions were the only extra-curricular activities he participated in during his student days at Queen's, but the sacrifice paid off.
The North York, ON, alumnus was the founder of redflagdeals.com, which he started in order to tackle the relative lack of online deals for Canadians.
"It probably took until the third year of university before I started to realize the potential," he says. "At the beginning it was just OK, here's a little bit of lunch money, so that's cool."
While he was developing the company, Derek had an advisory board at Queen's that included Queen's alumni, one of whom was business professor Ken Wong, Com'75, MBA'76.
Derek made more than lunch money when Yellow Pages bought him out, and he has maintained his entrepreneurial spirit. He's currently the Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Kinetic Café, which works with start-ups, and is developing a meeting dossier website called dossiya.com. He's also acting as a mentor to student entrepreneurs who've found him via LinkedIn.
Derek feels it's a good time for young entrepreneurs to test the waters. "The job market is not as good as it was when I started, so I'd encourage more people to try entrepreneurship.
"It's also a lot cheaper to start a business nowadays, he adds, "especially if what you're doing is web-based." For that reason, Derek echoes the Nike slogan with some succinct advice for anyone who wants to launch a business: "Just do it."
"If you start young, you can afford to have a couple businesses that maybe don't turn into full-blown enterprises, they're just interest-based or lifestyle-based businesses," he says, agreeing with Brody Hatch that "you'll never learn how to do the big thing if you don't go for it when you're young. "

Whether it is new signage, or an assigned police officer, several agencies in Montgomery County are working together to keep Megabus and Smartway riders from using Falling Branch Elementary in Christiansburg as a pit stop.
"As the knowledge happens with those customers we feel like we are going to see the instances of this happening decrease dramatically," said Brenda Drake, spokeswoman for Montgomery County Schools.
But even with the most recent upgrades, police say two people have already been cited for trespassing, even though according to school system leaders, at no time did passengers come in contact with children.
Drake says school leaders are grateful for the temporary solution in place, but they are always looking at ways to make their schools safer.
Mark Sisson, Christiansburg Police Chief, says the school board asked his department to help out in each of the county's 22 schools.
"From that meeting there were some recommendations made. Those recommendations were to do an assessment of the schools, and the initial assessment will start at Falling Branch Elementary," said Sisson.
While most doors at the school remain locked, the front door is open during school hours. Locking all of the doors and installing an intercom is one of many options being discussed.
"It's not just a plug and play system that you can install on a door. You have to look at the technology in the building and make sure it can support it. You have to look at the price component and make sure you're going to get the best value for your money," said Drake.
They are working together to make the safest choice for students, while being responsible to taxpayers.

Man who died after being hit by train at Sway was grieving for his mother (From Bournemouth Echo)

Robert Stidworthy was grieving for his mother when he was hit by a train at Sway
Updated 10:03am Friday 10th January 2014 in News
A MAN who died after being struck by a train in the New Forest had been in grief after the death of his mother, an inquest heard.
Robert Stidworthy was killed instantly when he was struck by a train at Sway – 24 hours after police launched a widespread missing person's appeal.
The Southampton inquest into his death heard the 47-year-old, of Mallard Close, Hordle, was receiving medical treatment for alcohol dependency, but had started drinking again and taking cannabis after his mother's recent death.
His brother Tom Gleeson, from London, told the inquest Mr Stidworthy had become very depressed since her death and was struggling to cope. He regularly visited his unemployed brother at home and had arranged a mental health assessment scheduled for later that month.
Mr Gleeson said: "I had been telling people that this was a possibility throughout the year."
Mr Stidworthy was struck by the 6.20pm train from Sway to New Milton on October 26.
Sergeant Derek Bish, among British Transport Police officers called out, said the train was travelling at 60mph when it hit him close to Vaggs Lane bridge.
The inquest heard there was no time for the driver to sound the horn and he was unable to avoid collision.
Mr Stidworthy was pronounced dead at the scene and formally identified by Mr Gleeson later. A pathologist's report by Dr Jeffrey Theaker revealed he died from multiple injuries.
Southampton coroner Keith Wiseman recorded a suicide determination and said: "He had been very badly troubled for quite a long time."

(CNN) - The CNN Freedom Project is shedding light on organ trafficking around the world.
In a town nicknamed The Kidney Bank of Nepal, there are hundreds of people who have had theirs removed. But they were victims of scams.
Nawaraj Pariyar makes a living by selling cow's milk and doing seasonal labor for nearby farmers. Pariyar's wife worries about the future.
She's afraid of her husband's ailing health. Pariyar is sick and is getting worse by the day.
"My body is giving me a lot of trouble," Pariyar said. "Occasionally I also feel sharp pain around the operated area."
It's been 14 years since Pariyar lost a kidney in a scam orchestrated by an organ trafficking ring.
He was working in Kathmandu when his foreman told him that if he let doctors cut out a chunk from his body, he would receive 30 lakh rupees, about $30,000.
"He assured me, nothing will happen. He also promised me that the meat will grow back," Pariyar said.
Then a middleman took Pariyar to Chennai, in southern India.
"I thought - if the meat will re-grow again, and I get paid for it, why not? I had no idea it was the kidney," Pariyar said.
He was told to say the recipient was his sister, and the traffickers had falsified documents saying so.
Three days after the operation, Pariyar returned to Kathmandu - with less than $300. He never heard from the traffickers again.
"Slowly I started having doubts so I went to the doctor that's when I found out I was missing a kidney," he said.

News: Erykah Badu Slams The Rap Game, "Hip-Hop Is Turning Into Pop Techno Cornball A** Music"
Sunday, Oct 17, 2010 10:51AM
Renowned soulful singer Erkyah Badu recently aired out her issues with the current state of hip-hop and described how the genre evolving for the worse.
From Badu's perspective, too many emcees are putting their verses on techno beats.
"How y'all gone stand by and let our music turn into pop techno cornball a** music. We don't own our music no more. Come to think of it, did we EVER own it? when I say own our music , I'm not talkin bout the artist I'm talkin bout the people ... let me be quiet. I wanna hear from the young people? easy for me to complain about this techno-pop cause i have a taste for something else. but how do u feel? These rappers ought to be shame of they damn selves, I'm talkin bout the mc' s rappin over this pop techno music. I believe in pimpin the system but got D*MN! not like this #pop-technosongs." (Underground Charizma)
Badu also said she had nothing specific against techno sounds, however, stressed that it should not become a centerpiece of hip-hop.
"I like the idea of no distinction in race when it comes 2 music, but SOULkeepers, U dont give up the boom bip and the hump 4 the payday. I love house and techno as a side dish .But now it's served as the main course AND that's ALL u gone get. like chittlins in the back house. I love music PERIOD. just not ready to say goodbye to the boom bip and the hump .. kinda painful for my generation to see. just strange 2me. Yes, no1 wants 2B poor again. artist have2 sacrifice integrity of the music sometimes 2 make ends meet. this is understood.but gotD*MN now. if you've never tasted good p*ssy your satisfied with a** hole. (that's terrible ain't it .) lol -Erykah Badu" (Underground Charizma)
Chicago rapper Rhymefest recently said the essential elements of hip-hop have diminished.
"One thing I didn't realize is that Hip-Hop doesn't exist anymore," he declared in an interview. "C'mon, think about the 4 elements: graffiti, breaking, deejaying, and emceeing. Emcees don't exist. That's somebody who gets on the stage, doesn't have to rap, but can hype up the crowd while the DJ is playing. He has all the chants, all that sh*t. Everybody now is "listen to me, listen to my raps." No one can hype up a crowd no more like that. Emcees are dead...So Hip-Hop as we knew is like jazz at this point. I can't really get mad. It exists on a scale so small you might as well call it dead. But even from Disco we got techno, Bass music. From Hip-Hop we got Soulja Boy, Drake; the hybrid singing rap. We got to call it something else because it ain't Hip-Hop. It's not bad; it's evolved into something else." (All Hip Hop)
Last year, Ja Rule talked about hip-hop making a strong comeback.
"We fighting against other genres," Rule declared in an interview. "We fightin' against motherf*ckin' rock. We fightin' against pop. We fightin' against these other genres of music. We need to be together as a whole and not separating ourselves between West and East and South. I think New York is making a strong comeback right now. I think we doin' our thing, we got Maino, we got Red Cafe. I think New York is making a surgence. I got my acts outta New York, I'm coming with a crazy album right now. But you know as a whole, it's not about New York...it's about hip-hop. We all in this together. So when I think about it, that's really my feelings on the situation." (57th Ave)

Teenager poised to stand in as keeper against Bradford City
6:10am Wednesday 26th December 2012 in Sport By Simon Parker, Bradford City Reporter
Accrington are ready to pitch in teenage goalkeeper Andrew Dawber for his first league start against City this afternoon.
The 18-year-old's only previous full outing was in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy against Morecambe in September.
But with on-loan Leeds stopper Paul Rachubka suspended and Ian Dunbavin sidelined for the season with a shoulder injury, boss Leam Richardson has no choice but to call on the youngster.
Accrington were one of only two clubs in the division to get their home game on over the weekend. But the 1-1 draw with Plymouth came at a heavy cost, with Rachubka red-carded for brawling with Warren Feeney – just ten minutes after he had saved the Northern Irishman's penalty.
Stanley desperately need a result from Valley Parade, where they are unbeaten in ten visits. They are currently without a win in seven games.
Former England international James Beattie netted their equaliser on Saturday, his fourth goal from five starts.
The 34-year-old striker, who has been sold for a combined £14.5million during his career, has linked up with Richardson as player/coach until next month.
Richardson hopes the deal can be extended and said: "From a personal point of view, James has come in and he's enjoyed playing football again.
"He's got goals – that's what he's got throughout his career and that's why he wants to still play football.
"He's fantastic with the young lads in the dressing room. All his experience and information, everything he can give to the young lads he's doing on a regular basis."
Richardson admits he cannot wait for the transfer window to open next week to bring in some more experienced heads.
"There are a lot of young lads here and sometimes it takes its toll," he said.
"When you assess the season so far, when we've won we've won well. When we've lost we've lost in a sense you can tell we're young.
"With a bit of experience, if we can get that balance and we can kick on after Christmas and get a couple of additions, we'll be fine."

We need to find a way to package our applications in a way that would work on 7.3. We think SCA could be deployed on 7.3. But We don't know how to do this exactly.
On the forum, someone said that 'dc wrapping the EPA file' and 'EAR converted from PAR' can be packed as SCA.
But how do we do this? or Is there any other way to pack as SCA?
I am quite new in this field. So I would really appreciate if you could be specific and explanatory in your answers.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Best regards
Thank you very much for the great reply!
But I have one more problem: Now I can include only the PCD content in the SCA file, meaning that there is no EAR/PAR files in the package. How can I include them in my package?
An explanatory answer like above would be highly appreciated
I created the EAR from the PAR migration tool on the portal.
And I have already done what's said in the link in your first reply. But when I export, it is not visible in "the local contained development components to build". Only the DC which wraps the EPA file is visible. So when I deploy it and try to preview it, it gives an exception.
The application project looks separate from the DC including the EPA. How can I include them in the same package or how can I relate the EAR project to the DC including the EPA?

vacation rental description
The beach vacation of your dreams is waiting at Turtle's Nest, our oceanfront house in Ponte Vedra! From the wraparound deck to the huge great room to the latest electronics and appliances, this house combines vintage charm with contemporary convenience.
Turtle's Nest is an open, sun-filled, bright house right on the shores of the beach, with a big wraparound wooden deck (with both covered and exposed portions) that leads right down to the apricot-colored sands. There is plenty of room here to sunbathe, chat, birdwatch, or simply admire the spectacular view! And of course we have a grill for your use, plus casual seating for those al fresco meals that seem to taste so much better than even the best restaurant cuisine! You'll fall in love with the deck, whether you spend your time out here updating your Facebook status (you have free WiFi at Turtle's Nest), taking pictures, reading that novel you've been promising yourself, or having fun with your favorite people in the world.
Step inside and the only difference you'll feel is the air conditioning, for our house is so bright and sunny that you seem to bring the outdoors in with you! You find yourself in a giant great room with a sloping ceiling and windows on 3 sides. Comfortable couches and chairs fill the space to accommodate the whole gang (and then some!). In one corner is our new 3D HDTV, with cable, DVD player, and all the trimmings. Flop down and make yourself at home! You're going to love it here.
Off to one side of the great room, surrounded by windows with breathtaking views, is our long dining table. This is Command Central at Turtle's Nest, and serves as the setting for group meetings, games and puzzles, and even computers when work must be done or reservations made! There's no more enjoyable space to set up the Settlers of Catan board and play a tournament in between trips to the beach and sightseeing expeditions!

MDC Familia
Gaining Knowledge
Met the supervision officer in charge of my house arrest today, dude was cool. We spent just as much time talking about graffiti as we did the court orders. I told him how to hang off the side of a bridge and paint it, he was genuinely interested. He wants to see some of my work but I'm skeptical on showing him considering he's in a position to fuck me over, so I likely won't, maybe on the last day of my house arrest prior to moving outta the city if he's still interested.

so they had to make 5 holes in my knee in order to find the loose cartilage which they could not find and my meniscus had basically almost was healed on its own so they didnt touch it
so i got surgery for nothing really but i also waited a good 2 months to do it, i mean he took out some shit but nothing serious, so its gunna take about a month atleast for me to be troopin to chill spots and fucking months before i can catch some real action
fuckin sucks
all about these premo joints lately simply cuz noone does it better, and with so manys gods

Current Projects
Current Projects
MSSL has a broad technology programme, which includes over 40 projects over the whole range of research interests of the science groups.
Brief descriptions of a few examples of current projects are given below:
The SWA investigation is a major international hardware collaboration,
led by the UCL/MSSL (Principal Investigator: Prof. Christopher J. Owen).
In addition to the overall leadership of the suite, UCL/MSSL will
provide the bulk of the hardware for the Electron Analyser System (EAS), one
of the 3 sensor systems within the suite. The Proton-Alpha Sensor and
the Heavy Ion Sensor are led by partners in France and the USA
respectively. The central data processing unit, to be built in Italy,
serves all three sensors and completes the suite.
will make a high temporal resolution determination of the 3D electron velocity
distributions in the solar wind, in order to be able to separate out the key
core, halo and strahl populations of electrons, and derive their moments
(density, temperature, bulk velocity, heat flux).It consists of two top-hat electrostatic analyser heads with an aperture
deflection system (ADS) and a novel variable geometric factor system (VGFS).
Orthogonal mounting of the 2 sensors and the ± 45° aperture deflection provides
an almost 4π steradian field-of-view required to fully measure the electron
velocity distribution functions and thereby provide moments (density,
temperature, velocity, pressure tensor, heat flux) and/or full electron pitch
angle distributions at all times.
Key challenges include dealing with the radiation environment (150 krad over mission lifetime), the thermal environment (nominal temperature in the spacecraft shadow at the end of the boom is -180 °C, whereas a pointing failure of the spacecraft may result in full Sun exposure at distances as close as 0.28 AU!), large dynamic range of electron fluxes over orbital range, and the mechanical integrity of the sensor on the boom.
Further information about EAS and the Solar Wind Analyzer (SWA) consortium can be found on the Space Plasma Physics pages.
The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) is a fundamental component in the Solar Orbiter mission profile and will contribute to the following outstanding Solar Orbiter science themes:
• What are the origins of the solar wind streams and the heliospheric magnetic field?
• What are the sources, acceleration mechanisms, and transport processes of solar energetic particles?
• How do coronal mass ejections evolve in the inner heliosphere?
• Explore, at all latitudes, the energetics, dynamics and fine-scale structure of the Sun's magnetised atmosphere.
The EUI instrument suite is composed of two high resolution imagers (HRI; one at Lyman-α, one at 174Å) and one dual band full-sun imager (FSI) working alternatively at the 174 and 304 Å EUV passbands. It is the product of a multi-national collaboration, including members from UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland and Greece. MSSL is responsible for the design, manufacture and delivery of the SO-EUI Common Electronics Box and on-board flight software. It is also responsible for the development of supporting EGSE/software.
MSSL is leading the team providing the Panoramic Stereo Cameras for ESA's Exomars Rover.
The Martian environment presents the main technological challenges facing PanCam. Because the instrument is mounted on the rover mast, it is exposed to the fine dust which settles from the atmosphere and is exposed to a difficult thermal environment. Temperatures may fall as low as -120C, depending on latitude and season, and there is, like on Earth, constant diurnal cycling, with warmer temperatures during the day and colder temperatures at night. Even at the equator the range is quite extreme: perhaps as "warm" as 0C during the day, but falling to -90C at night. The PanCam team need to ensure that electronics and mechanical parts maintain reliable operation throughout a lengthy mission.
Like the rest of the rover, PanCam has planetary protection challenges, for example ensuring that we do not contaminate the Martian surface, not only because we want to be good planetary neighbours, but also so we do not affect the results of the biological and chemical analyses to be performed on-board. Moreover, because we are part of a sample return mission, it's important to not compromise the pristine nature of the samples to be eventually returned to Earth.
As well as our programme of space projects, MSSL is also collaborating on a high energy physics experiment called SuperNEMO. This experiment will search for an extremely rare process called neutrinoless double beta decay (DBD) and explore fundamental questions concerning the nature of neutrino mass.
SuperNEMO is the next generation of DBD detector and will ultimately be sensitive enough to detect neutrino masses of about 0.5 eV.
MSSL is currently designing and constructing both the tracker frame for the first Demonstrator Module and the automated wiring robot that will be needed to wire the 2000 Geiger cells that will be placed inside it. Once assembled and commissioned at MSSL, the tracker will be moved to an underground laboratory in France and integrated with the rest of the module.
Euclid is a candidate mission in the ESA Cosmic Vision programme. It has been under study for three years; selection of the successful mission concepts will occur in late 2011, with launch dates in 2018 or 2019. Euclid will map Dark Energy at high redshifts – current theories predict that Dark Energy makes up the majority of the mass of the Universe.
MSSL is leading the development of the VIS instrument for Euclid as head of an international consortium. VIS consists of a large area array of 36 Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) plus supporting electronics and structure. At this phase of the project MSSL is responsible for definition of the requirements on the instrument, its interfaces to the spacecraft and early prototype work on key technology elements. If selected for flight, the next phase will be to design and build the first version of VIS, building up the manufacture and test of the final (so called flight model) in 2016.
Gaia is an ESA Cornerstone mission, to be
launched in 2013. Its scientific goal is
to make the largest, most precise map of our Galaxy by conducting a
census of the positions and velocities of one thousand million objects. As such it will form the basis for studies of
the structure and formation history of our Galaxy, one of the four core
themes of UK astronomical research: Star Formation and Development of
As a comprehensive survey mission, Gaia is expected to become one of
science's greatest discovery machines. It will monitor each of its
target objects (primarily stars, asteroids, galaxies and QSOs) on
average 85 times over a five-year period, precisely charting their
distances, movements, and changes in brightness. It is expected to
discover hundreds of thousands of new celestial objects, such as
extra-solar planets and failed stars called brown dwarfs. Within our own
Solar System for example, Gaia is expected to identify tens of
thousands of hitherto unknown asteroids. Expected discoveries also
include the detection and characterisation of tens of thousands of
extra-solar planetary systems. The survey will cover about 10 million
galaxies and 500,000 distant quasars.
MSSL is responsible for the major science workpackages in the spectroscopic
part of the Gaia data flow system. The volume of data is large, covering nearly 2x1012 individual observations, but more importantly, nearly the entire volume of data needs to be considered in some part of the data processing. The project will deliver software components designed to perform a wide range of complex processing tasks:
- The software required for the the photometric data processing for all 200 CCDs recording image transit data
- The data handling system to process the photometric data
- The software required for the spectroscopic data processing and calibrations
- The software for the Gaia in-flight CCD calibrations
- The software for the science alerts sub system

autocad 2012. C# express 2010. dotnet framework 4. microsoft windows 7 enterprise 64.
This development project is a stand-alone running outside autocad, using the interop.
When you read this, please keep in mind that running dot net inside AutoCAD is not an option in this particular project.
Autdesk.AutoCAD.Interop (AutocAD)
Autdesk.AutoCAD.Interop.common (AXDBLib)
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common;
I found that creating an Acad Table via the COM, with hundreds of rows, is ... not workable - slower than slow.
So, I created the Acad Table in a DXF file - very fast - workable.
I have only one problem.
The CopyObject in the COM (Marshal.GetActiveObject("AutoCAD.Application.18") has either been discontinued or I my code is incorrect --- or there is another way to import the DXF into the DWG?
This is the CopyObject code that is doing nothin (does not even throw an exception):
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.AcadEntity[] set1 =
new Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.AcadEntity[doc2.Mo
for (int j = 0; j < set1.Length; j++)
set1[j] = doc2.ModelSpace.Item(j);
object[] res1 = doc2.Database.CopyObjects(set1, doc1.ModelSpace, Type.Missing);
doc1 and doc2 files ar open in acad.
doc1 is the DWG, the drawing that will be the reulting product of this task
doc2 is a temporary DXF that is currenty open
Alternatively, what other method could I use to import the DXF straight into doc1 without opening it (bypassing CopyObject)?
I could not find a method, I used:
AcadDocument doc2 = acadApp.Documents.Open(dxfname1, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
where, dxfname1 is the filename of the temporary DXF file.
Thank You ..
Solved! Go to Solution.

What about AcadTable.RegenerateTableSuppressed property?
AutoCAD ActiveX and VBA Reference say:
Recomputing large tables consumes a lot of time and memory because the Table object is reconstructed from scratch. To avoid performance problems, you should temporarily disable the regeneration of the Table object when modifying large tables through the VBA APIs, then apply the modifications and re-enable regeneration.
Also instead of :
object[] res1 = doc2.Database.CopyObjects(set1, doc1.ModelSpace, Type.Missing);
must be:
object[] res1 = doc1.Database.CopyObjects(set1, doc1.ModelSpace, Type.Missing);
wow ... fantastic response ... u absolutely ROCK! thank you thank you thank you

Who will win when the Miami Hurricanes renew their rivalry with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Sun Bowl? Dawg Sports predicts the winners of the late December college football bowl games in...
Do you dream of bathing in an unending wave of college football goodness? Do you ever feel like you just see too much of your girlfriend, the sun or your Jack Russell, Bo? If so, do we have...
If the Dec. 30 Music City Bowl can pull it off, it can pair the Dawgs with the Clemson Tigers. As foreseen and hoped for by Dawg Sports about two weeks ago, the first-ever December matchup between the two old rivals could be in the works. They've played 62 times, but have only met off-and-on for the last couple decades. . . . To increase our chances of seeing this one, let's root for the Maryland Terrapins. A strong finish by the Terps could lure the Meineke Car Care bowl to pick them over Clemson, leaving the Tigers to likely play Georgia.Jason Kirk walks us through the prospects for a Georgia-Clemson Music City Bowl. Go 'Dawgs!

"Slow - Kindda Boring"
I guess I should not have expected much in the way of plot or anything real juicy or entertaining. This was just.... ho hum. You gotta have a real low expectation for entertainment with this one. I should have known better.
"I'd say skip this one"
I thought this was going to be a really good book but no. There is lots of action but not any real depth of character. It just seems to jump from one event to another. It's probably because there was lots of action that I stayed with it for 5 of the approx 9 hrs. The narrator is JUST OK but after a while she starts to sound wooden. I would say skip this one. You won't be missing anything great in my opinion.
"I just wanted it to be over"
"I Love You More" is catalogued under "mysteries/thrillers". It is not a thriller and not much of a mystery. The summary says it is "riveting". It is definitely not riveting. It was more like torture waiting for it to end. This book was all filler. The last chapter, i.e. the last 20 min could have been told in chap 2 and saved the reader 9 hrs out of their life. The rest of the book is mostly about the young girl's life at school, trying to fit in with the popular girls, trying to get a guy to like her, her passion for words and spelling, etc. There is a little detective work depicted in the novel but it is not the main focus, just a mention here and there. Mostly filler, just filler.
"A work of Art"
This book is very long but the writing and story is very good. The narrator is excellent. It takes the reader from 1934 to 1944 with two separate stories of the main characters (Marie-Laure and Werner) [pronounced with a "V"] until they meet in France for a brief time in a very dramatic way and then the story continues. Some parts of this story had me on the edge of my seat, the rest was pleasant to listen to.
"It was ok, kept my interest"
This book was ok. I'm pretty picky so the fact that I listened all the way through is saying a lot. The narrator was good w/ the male voices. He did his best w/ the female voices but they were not his forte. Overall, nice excape-ism.
"Great Character Development & Plot for Erotica"
I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of character development and plot that went into this short story erotica. And it was all done w/o the "F" word. Kudos to the author. The narrator did all the voices quite well especially the male and female main characters. I don't usually re-listen to stories but I think after awhile I might give this one a re-listen. The plot and narrator were that good. Well done.
"Just ok - too wordy"
This book is just over 11.5 hrs. In my opinion it should have been edited down. It was too long. I think some writers write a bunch of extra words just because they can and thus make what could have been a really good tight story a long and windy story. Where are the editors? The narrator is good.
"Slow and Boring"
This book started interestingly enough but it eventually became slow and boring. The characters, especially one of them, became caricatures. I could only finish Part 1 and then I had enough. I believe I could predict what was going to happen and how it was going to end. The narrator was good. She is probably the reason I hung in there as long as I did.
"Slow Start But Hang in There"
This was a very well written, well narrated story. It starts slow but it is worth the wait to hang in there until things get going. I don't like to give s synopsis of the story because you can read the summary on the Audible page. I would categorize this as psychological suspense. The author takes her time in revealing intermittent surprises but she keeps the story interesting along the way for the most part. I am one who doesn't have much patience for a boring story. I have returned more than a couple of books because I could not get into them. I did not return this one. I would recommend it slow start and all.
"Very Engrossing"
I really enjoyed this book. It took me a little while to get into it. Just when I was going to quit it, it got interesting and I was hooked from that point on. Really hooked. I don't need to give a synopsis, you can read the summary on Audible to find out what the book is about. It is well written and well narrated. I recommend it. I tried the sequel, i.e. "The Crooked Maid", but I felt the narrator was wrong and therefore could not get into it. I like Kate Reading as a narrator ordinarily (she narrates "The Crooked Maid") but I didn't think her voice fit that novel. One of the main characters is a German woman and I just don't associate her voice with that accent. I would have preferred Suzanne Bertish who narrated "City of Women", another really good book.
"Really Really Good"
This author didn't over do it by overwriting. This book was just right. Narration could not be better. This is in the category of psychological suspense, my favorite. I highly recommend.

Gourmet Wines, Cheeses, and Delicatessen Sandwiches
Bodega: the word conjures romanticized images of a boîte, café, bistro, delicatezza, trattoria, or any variety of dining establishments that serve characteristic viands and potables, reflective of their locale.
In reality, a Bodega is either a winery or wine shop. Since the 14th Century, bodegas, as wine merchants, have existed in España. A vintner would open a shop in his home for the tasting and sale of his wines. Eventually, many vintners would come together to offer their wines, thus "creating" the need for the wine merchant. In the 16th Century, these vintners and wine merchants, gathering together, would provide breads, cheeses, fruits and other complimentary items for their customers to sample and purchase from their inventory.
The concept soon spread throughout the European and African coasts of the western Mediterranean basin and, quite rapidly, throughout the newly-founded Spanish and Portuguese colonies in the New World. The derivative words: bottega, bodigue, botteguita… would become incorporated into the various languages.
In the traditional sense, a bodega is not a restaurant, nor is it a grocery. It is a wine shop, but the acquired traditions of dining and sampling have, since the 19th Century, become firmly established in bodegas. Many of the great wine producers on the Iberian Peninsula refer to their wineries as bodegas.
La Bodega Hampton is the neighborhood gathering place in downtown Hampton, Virginia where you can have an healthy, delicious meal; listen to good music; enjoy the eclectic decor; and relax in our living room, while browsing the finest, most reasonably-priced wine inventory in Southeastern Virginia.

I was at the game in Richmond yesterday to see Alex Meyer's debut. Unfortunately, I got there a bit late and missed his first inning. Also, I forgot to take notes during the game, so these comments are based on my ability to jive my memory with the Gameday results. Final confessions: I'm not a scout at all, just a baseball fan, I didn't have the best angle for identifying pitch type or location, and all pitch speed readings are from the stadium display. So basically take everything with a grain of salt.
For those who haven't seen yet, here are Meyer's raw stats for the game:
5 Innings Pitched
75 Pitches (53 Strikes)
6 Hits allowed
1 Run allowed
1 Walk
8 Strike Outs
Overall, it was a great stat-line - especially with all the strikeouts - and a great start to his Twins career.
First Impressions
Meyer is huge. You don't necessarily notice it when he is alone on the mound, but anytime he is next to a teammate, he towers over them. And it seems like his height is almost all from his legs. When he had a meeting at the mound with his catcher (Dan Rohlfing, 6'), my wife commented that his waist went up to the middle of Rohfling's chest protector.
He throws hard. His fastball sat 95-96 through all five innings, and the slowest fastball I saw was 93. His slider was generally 85-88, and the handful of change-ups (at least what I think were change-ups) were at 88. He mostly threw fastball-slider. In the four innings I watched, he didn't throw more than 5 change-ups (which I identified with my "that pitch was in the 80s but didn't seem to curve much - must be a change-up" method).
Stats Can Be Misleading
My overall impression of Meyer's outing was that he wasn't as dominating as his final stat line seems to indicate. Don't get me wrong, he pitched very well. However, opposing batters were not swinging and missing very much, and all five of the hits that I saw were the result of solid contact - there were no cheap or lucky hits. Most of the hits were on fastballs left up in the zone. Overall, Meyer had only six swing and misses in the entire game and half his strikeout were looking. I'm not sure how much to read from that, for a couple of reasons. First, the Richmond lineup was mostly left-handed, and Meyer attacked them with quite a few backdoor sliders, which was an interesting strategy to me and visible frustrated the hitters. Second, it is hard to know what the Richmond had for a scouting report on Meyer, as they may have expected more wildness from him and were told to take some strikes first. It should be mentioned that Meyer's control was very solid all day, and on his only walk of the game I thought he got screwed on a couple of calls.
The Competition
The Richmond Flying Squirrels are the AA affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. In John Sickels's opinion, the Giants farm system is generally considered middle of the pack, and this particular farm team has four of their top-20 players in the lineup (#s 5, 9, 19, 20). By comparison, the Rock Cats don't have a single position player that made the Twins list. Now small sample size caveats apply here, but those four players did do much of the damage against Meyer. The consisted of only 10 of the 22 plate appearances, but they accounted for 4 of the 6 hits and only 3 of the 8 strikeouts.
Highlight - the 4th Inning
This wasn't a dominating inning, but it was a good inning to see Meyer get out of trouble and deal with some adversity. With one out in the inning, Meyer walked a batter. As I mentioned above, I thought there were a lot of good pitches that should have been called strikes in that at bat. The next batter hit a double into left-center field, putting runners at second and third with only one. With a left-handed batter up, Meyer fell behind 2-1. He managed to get a called strike to even the count (another backdoor slider if I remember correctly). After a couple of pitches were fouled off, he threw a beautiful change-up low and outside for the strikeout. The next batter was a right-hander, and Meyer quickly got ahead 0-2. After a couple more pitches Meyer put him away with a nasty slider low and outside.
Final Word on Meyer
Like I said at the beginning, Meyer pitched well, but he didn't dominate. When he missed his location with his fastball, he was hit hard, and he didn't get many swing and misses. His fastball was fast, but right now it seemed to lack that something extra - command, movement, velocity or deception - which separates the elite fastballs from the merely good. He had a lot of confidence with his slider, and it was an effective weapon against both right-handed and left-handed batters. I felt that his change-up was useful, though under-utilized.
Other Notes
- Daniel Santana didn't get any hits, but he hit two balls pretty hard to the outfield that were caught. He played well in the field, though he had one bad throw to first.
- Michael Tonkin pitched okay, but he gave up two doubles in the ninth which tied the game.
- James Beresford had a great defensive play at 2B running down a shallow fly-ball in right field. He made the catch, and then spun and doubled off the runner at first.
- Don't pay any attention to the W-L record for Meyer, Trevor May, or anyone else on the AA team. Their lineup isn't very good, so I doubt they will get much run support during the season.

An ancient Greek scientist, Strabon, mentions in his 17-volume work named "Geography" (Coğrafiya) that there used to live 26 Albanian tribes in the Caucasian Albania and each of these tribes spoke their own language.
The Khinalug tribe is one of those 26 Albanian tribes and since that time they spoke their source language.
The "Khinalug" ethnic group has been living in the Caucasus for thousands of years, they have not lost their language, customs and traditions and have preserved them until nowadays.
Unfortunately, until the present day, no archaeological expedition has been sent to Khinalug in order to define its history and not a single excavation work has been done.
An interesting fact in the history of Khinalug is the ability to show its eight cemeteries.
No researches of the history of visible countless number of the cemeteries have been done in the village until the present day, beginning from the top of the hill named Giyad (Giyad) down to its foot and from within the village to the banks of Rutsosh (Rutsoş) and Deyirmanchay (Dəyirmançay) Rivers.
It is worth noting that the majority of the graves in the Khinalug cemeteries are quite big both from width and length point of view. A visual proof to that are the open graves, which are located along the road going to Rutsosh River. Some of the graves in Khinalug have 3 floors.
Here, the graves are placed one above another. However, excavation works would be able to determine how old these graves are.
Islam religion began to be disseminated in Khinalug in the 12th century by Abu Muslim (Əbu Müslim). The mosque that functions nowadays had been built during the same time and the people named this mosque the Abu Muslim Mosque.
There had been engraved "rune" inscriptions on 2 different stones placed at 2-metre height, on the right side, at the entrance to the mosque. It is assumed that these inscriptions are dated to the 3d-8th centuries B.C.
Though it was not able to completely translate the inscriptions, their approximate meaning is sunrise and beginning of a new history.
Before adopting Islam religion, the Khinalug people used to be fire worshippers. There is one place located at 4-5 km to the west from Khynalyg, from which natural gas is discharged, and this place is called "Atashgah" (Atəşgah).

RAFAEL BEJARANO, BOURBON BAY, Winner: "At the break I had to use a little bit of him to make sure I got the break right and get the perfect position at the first turn. When I saw the 9 (Quasicobra) get sent to the lead I knew it was better for me. I thought the 5 (Sudden War) would go to the lead but I guess he broke a little slow. I felt a little pressure from the horse next to me on the inside, but my horse was relaxed. We were going a little faster than the last time but I still had a lot of horse at the end. After the second turn I could see my horse was getting comfortable and I knew I had a chance to win the race. He made a move at the three-eighths and passed everybody. This horse is getting through every time he runs, and he is getting better every time he runs. I'm so happy he won again."
NEIL DRYSDALE, BOURBAN BAY, WINNER: Asked if there was any concern going to the lead on the far turn: "Well, I think he had to, because otherwise, they were going to come at him. He had no option. I think he's getting the hang of it. Would you say that's an improvement over his last race? I thought he settled better today than he did the other day (in the San Luis Obispo Handicap on Feb. 21)."
Asked about running a mile and three-quarters in the San Juan Capistrano Handicap, $150,000, Grade II, on closing day, April 18): "I think that's within his scope, the way he ran today."
NOTES: This is the fourth San Luis Rey win for Drysdale. Previous winners were Prized (1990), Single Empire (1999) and Fourty Niners Son (2007). The winning owners are David and Jill Heerensberger of Bellevue, Washington.

An Australian multi-millionaire plans to build what he calls "absolutely the most safe cruise ship in the world".
Given that unfortunate incident on the Carnival cruise ship Triumph, pushing safety is probably a good idea. And, that's especially with this new ship....
We have the drawings and computer-generated vision of what that huge ship will be like.
And if it looks a little familiar....well, it is.
This is the "Titanic-Two", a replica of the British ship which sunk on it's maiden voyage in 1913, killing 15-hundred people.
Developer Clive Palmer released a video showing a more streamlined design today, and says there'll be NO internet or televisions on board...and there'll be three classes of passengers...who won't be allowed to mingle.
Davis says third class, the cheapest, is where the fun people will be.
Presumably, they will be allowed to board the lifeboats --unlike the original.
Yes, Davis says there *will be sufficient lifeboats.

The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
• "If anyone thinks (Tim) Tebow is going to continue to win playing the way he has, they are nuts. You've got to be able to throw from the pocket to win in this league. Eventually, you have to make plays with your arm. I'm talking about making accurate throws with (defenders) covering. He has done a helluva job — they are running the ball, playing good defense and not screwing it up. Tebow is not turning it over at all — give him a lot of credit there. But he is going to have a hard time consistently winning if he cannot make throws in the pocket."
• "The great thing about (Jets offensive consultant) Tom Moore — he understands matchups. He will help the coordinator (Brian Schottenheimer) the most with that."
• "Give (Chiefs GM) Scott Pioli credit — it's Scott's way. Whatever he does from here, whether he crashes or succeeds — it definitely is his way."
• "There is an East Coast way, there is a Midwestern way and there is a West Coast way, and sometimes the water does not mix. No one talks about it much, but when you're looking to hire a head coach, it's one of the areas you have to take a look at it."
• "I loved (Chiefs NT) Kelly Gregg. He is smart, hardworking and tough — he was great for Baltimore — but he was done last year, and he was a movement nose. He's never been the stout, plug-the-middle, house that Romeo (Crennel) is looking for. (Gregg) didn't hand-shiver and hold the point like (Vince) Wilfork. What I don't understand — Shaun Rogers was in the building and ready to sign. Romeo coached him before. And he would have come a million (dollars) cheaper than Gregg. And they let him walk out the door. (Rogers) has been good for the Saints."
• "I have as many wins as Mike Shanahan does without John Elway. With the exception of (Bill) Belichick, coaches are only as good as their players."
• "The owner does not like the direction they are going in San Diego. And there could be changes in St. Louis. The front office is as dysfunctional as it gets there. It's been that way for a long time. (Steve) Spagnuolo is a really good coach — you can't take that away from him. If I'm the owner, I'm finding a way to support him. But the whole (operation) could get blown up."
• "Bill Cowher is very smart and calculating. He knows what it takes to win. He's not going somewhere just to take a paycheck like the Tuna (Bill Parcells) did in Miami. The worst thing that might have happened to Miami — they started winning games. They may not have a shot at a quarterback in the draft — and it's going to make it more difficult to attract a (big-)name (head coach) capable of flipping it quickly."
• "If you're looking at executives who have produced this year, you think of some of the regulars - obviously with what the Packers have done, you have to take your hat off to (GM) Ted Thompson. To keep the Texans winning with their third quarterback, you have to tip your hat to (Texans GM) Rick Smith. (Ravens GM) Ozzie (Newsome) is always one of the best. Another you have to put in that category is (Niners GM Trent) Baalke. Did anyone think the Niners would be as good as they have been? Jim Harbaugh has been outstanding, and it's even more impressive when you look at all the rookies on the field. Seven free agents are starting — Carlos Rogers was signed off the street. The center (Jonathan Goodwin) has played very steady. (PK David) Akers has been a big factor with how they are winning."

There's still a lot of Oktoberfest to go, and several more events worth attending. You don't even need to yodel to get der Bierkrug filled with das Bier.
If you're wondering why Germans celebrate most of their Oktoberfest events in September, our beer blogger, Beer Country, explains it in his blog.
On Saturday, Sept. 28, The Windsor Lions Club will celebrate their second annual Oktoberfest at the Windsor Community Center. The 21 and over event features a traditional German meal with sausage, hot potato salad, sauerkraut, bread, and dessert. The evening will also feature Polka dancing, a costume contest, the chicken dance, a raffle, and lots more. Cost of admission is $30 at the door, or a slight discount if bought pre-sale, and includes one beer and all you can eat for dinner. Located at 901 Adele Drive in Windsor, the event is from 3-7:30 p.m. More information can be found at e-clubhouse.org/sites/windsorca.
You don't just need to drink beer for Oktoberfest. Schug Carneros Estate Winery drives this point home by celebrating the German holiday on Saturday, Oct. 5 with live music, authentic German cuisine, Zwiebelkuchen (sweet onion tart), and their newly fermented Federweisser. From 12-4 p.m., the celebration with the sweet white wine pays homage to owner Walter Schug's German heritage. Tickets to the event are $35 for non-club members and $20 for club members. Kids 10 and under are $5. The winery is located at 602 Bonneau Road in Sonoma. For more information, visit schugwinery.com.
Cotati gets into a German frame of mind with their 7th annual Cotati Oktoberfest on Saturday, Oct. 12. From noon to 6 p.m., they'll serve Wunderbar German food and beer at La Plaza Park while the crowd enjoys the oompah of Karl Lebherz and his Bavarian Band. The dance floor will be calling for plenty of polka. Contests aplenty will include the Wiener Dog Races, the Tankard Hold, and the Stein Race. Admission to the event is free, and the German bratwurst meal is $15. Further information can be found at cotati.org.

I can prove this with image samples, if you'd like.
with something similar to this, I guess:
in any case, I can think of a lot of reasons Canon has to manufacture a limited number of these sensors, for example:
* to research data collection and data manipulation processes associated with a high-mpix-count chip
* to research the effects of increased pixel density in DSLR sensors (how does it affect noise and DR? how can we process the data so that they improve with megapixel-density? how dense can we get before diffraction precludes any further detail improvements?)
* to research novel image processing methods, like those proposed by some forum members here in terms of diffraction-control, in-sensor-IS, etc
it's a research chip, just like intel's 48-core microprocessor
In that case, I wonder why they don't do it APS-C or Full frame? Weird
