Cannonball Read V: Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson
By Lauri | Book Reviews | April 9, 2013 | Comments ()
Alif the Unseen has been on my Amazon wishlist for a while; each time I thought about ordering it, something else seemed more compelling. I wish I hadn't waited so long (thank you, public library, for making reading on a whim so easy!) to read what turned out to be a quite engaging, modern urban fantasy.
At the beginning of the story, set in an unnamed Middle Eastern military state, we meet the protagonist, Alif,who takes his online handle from the first letter of the alphabet. Out of high school, but barely, Alif is a hacker genius who, from the apartment he shares with his mother, runs a cloud where all types of dissidents are able to digitally converse, and stay hidden from The Hand, the head of the State's electronic security force. When Alif is jilted by his aristocratic lover for a prince that can provide her the lifestyle to which she is accustomed, a chain of events is set in motion that has widespread implications for the future of this country and the revolutionaries fed up with the status quo.
Wilson deftly weaves a story that combines the seen and unseen, religion and philosophy, and a struggle for life and death -- not just for the characters involved, but for the world itself. Driven underground in an effort to evade The Hand's henchmen, Alif and his closest friend, Dina, are forced to seek aid from the underworld...and the unseen world. Ancient Arabic/Muslim themes, djinn and other magical beasts, and current political ideas are brought together in unique and surprising ways.
From the first page this book has an energy that speaks to modern times but draws upon ideas from the fantastical ancient world. With the energy of the Arab Spring, the book offers a modern view of the Arab world that is hard to put down.

Early election results in Tuesday's primary show San Diego's District 52 congressional race shaping up to be as hotly contested as expected.
The second round of ballot results announced at 9:30 p.m. had incumbent Rep. Scott Peters, a Democrat, leading the pack with 43.11 percent of the votes (27,383 votes), followed by lead challenger Republican Carl DeMaio, a former San Diego City Councilmember who ran an unsuccessful campaign for mayor in 2012, claiming 35.84 percent (22,765).
The other challengers, both Republicans, face a steep uphill battle to catch DeMaio as the results trickle in. Former Marine Officer Kirk Jorgensen had 16.93 percent of the vote (10,753), and surgeon Fred Simon claimed 4.12 percent (2,617).
The top two vote-getters in this primary election, widely-expected to be Peters and DeMaio, will face off in a November general election.
This congressional seat is one of the most closely-watched and has attracted millions of dollars in campaign funding.

Demi Lovato is one seriously busy gal and, by the looks of it, doesn't plan on slowing down any time soon!
The X-Factor mentor released a 14-second teaser to her "Neon Lights" music video, where things got a little wet. In the sneak peek, we see Demi in a pool of water, rocking a catsuit (go girl!) and hitting up what looks to be a glow-in-the-dark party that we didn't get invited too. Where was our invite, Demi?!

Here's how my scores have fared over my last nine rounds of golf: 86, 84, 81, 87, 84, 81, 80, 86, 84 So let's get into the breakdown of my … [Read more...]

The Case for Rickie Fowler Don't worry, this isn't just a fangirl piece fawning over an attractive golfer. Not entirely, at least. Even after his Masters disaster, I still feel the need to make a case for golf fans to respect Rickie Fowler. He's the reason I found an interest in golf and as far as I can see, he's part of the reason that the … [Read more...]
Valero Texas Open Field is Set But Missing a Big Name Texan
The 2016 Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio is just five days away. The deadline for players to commit to the tournament has passed and the field is set. Some big name PGA Tour players are coming down next week to take on the difficult AT&T Oaks Course, but the biggest Texas golf star at the moment is MIA. In years past, the golf course has played firm and fast, with the South Texas wind playing a big factor in scoring. This year is shaping up to be quite different. We're expecting … [Read more...]

Since I wrote that last article, a Twitter friend @PracticalGolf, sent me a direct message saying my article had inspired him to write about what a lot of golfers face when they are setting out in pursuit of a golf goal. Simply put, you have to believe you can do it. What … [Read more...]
My Pursuit to Break 80 on the Golf Course: #ProjectBreak80
It's a milestone I aim for every time I play a round of golf. While some golfers might be able to break 80 every time they go out, I find it a very difficult obstacle to overcome. In 2016, I set a goal again of trying to break 80 for the first time in 16 years. I've done it once before, at The Golf Club of Texas when I worked in the cart barn and pro shop back in 2000. This was the time in my life when I was playing golf just about everyday. I decided to start this series again on … [Read more...]

Golf Review: Rukket Haack Golf Net
With a full time day job, a full MBA school schedule and a wife and son at home, it's hard for me to get to the driving range during the week. If I get one range session per week, then I'm actually doing well. My weekends are really the only time I am able to play 18 holes because of my busy workweek. It's no wonder I can't seem to get over that hump and break 80 as I have set out to do. If I ever want to get better at the game of golf then I will need to practice more, period. This is all … [Read more...]
Peter Malnati: PGA Tour Winner and Insightful Golf Blogger

After successfully seeking out the ultimate slider in the 2004 stoner comedy Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, the cannabis-craving twosome returns in this high-flying sequel that finds them labeled terrorists for attempting to sneak a marijuana-smoking implement on a flight to Amsterdam. Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) have just finished gorging themselves on savory White Castle hamburgers when they return to their apartment and hatch a plan for Harold to win the heart of his crush, Maria (Paula Garcés). Maria is going to Amsterdam, and if Harold can catch up with her overseas perhaps he can strike up a real love connection. After a close call with airport personnel and a chance encounter with Kumar's ex-girlfriend Vanessa (Danneel Harris) -- who hadn't yet told Kumar that she's engaged to be married -- the pot-loving pals finally board their flight for Amsterdam. Unfortunately for Harold, Kumar isn't able to endure the lengthy flight without an innocent puff or two from his smokeless bong. When the plane hits some turbulence and the bong is mistaken for a bomb, the flight is diverted to Guantanamo Bay and our spliff-smoking heroes are detained by overzealous Deputy Chief of Homeland Security Ron Fox (Rob Corddry). Now, if they can just escape from the world's most notorious prison compound, perhaps this hapless duo can succeed in convincing the authorities that they aren't enemy combatants, and that Kumar made the mistake of his life by letting Vanessa go. But before they can prove their innocence and get the girls, Harold and Kumar will have to outsmart the dreaded Ku Klux Klan, contend with a particularly precocious Cyclops baby, and successfully elude everyone's favorite debauched former child star -- Neil Patrick Harris. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

- Evaluate the mail, magazines and papers coming into your home. What can you unsubscribe from? I tear off the backs of magazines as I recycle them and clip them together so when I have five minutes, I can either call (or go online) to the company and remove myself from their mailing lists. I get a lot of my bills sent to a separate bill paying only email address so I can go online once a month and pay those bills without having to deal with the paper involved in receiving statements in the mail.
- Make a quick list of 7 breakfasts, lunch and dinner and tape it to your fridge. I do this especially after the New Year and before Spring since I can get into a food rut and end up ordering way too much takeout. You can get fancier later if you like but I find that writing out the 7 items helps to jump start things and gets me back into the kitchen.
- Clean up your computer desktop and phone. Delete files that you no longer need, organize the ones that you do, put the more frequently used app icons in a folder on your home page of your phone and set a new, fresh backdrop wallpaper.
- Empty your purse out weekly. Pick up a little makeup bag to hold things like bobby pins, lipsticks, gum, pens and kleenex. Organize recipes and throw away trash. Make your purse work for you.
- Reset your home nightly. Walk through your home and put away everything that you got out during the day, load the dishwasher, throw a load of laundry in the wash, throw away all papers that you don't need, sweep the kitchen floor, wipe down counters and stove after cooking dinner, take out the trash and recycling. Resetting doesn't have to take any longer than 10-15 minutes.

ASUS Fonepad Android tablet
The 7in ASUS Fonepad adds smartphone calling capabilities to a traditional tablet form factor
- Almost stock Android UI
- Good battery life
- microSD card slot
- Too large to use as a phone
- No 4G connectivity
- Poor cameras
Bottom Line
The ASUS Fonepad is a reasonable tablet overall but it's just too large to be used effectively as a smartphone and also lacks 4G connectivity.
Price$ 329.00 (AUD)
Special Offers
ASUS has never been short of a wacky idea and its latest device challenges the definition of a tablet. The 7in Fonepad adds smartphone calling capabilities to a traditional tablet form factor. It's a reasonable tablet overall but is just too large to be used effectively as a smartphone and also lacks 4G connectivity.
A Nexus 7 with calling capabilities?
The Fonepad swaps the leather-like backing on the Nexus 7 for a classier looking metallic finish.
The Fonepad has borrowed plenty from the Google Nexus 7, which is hardly a surprise since ASUS also manufactures that device. The Fonepad weighs the same (340g) and has almost identical dimensions. The only real difference is the ASUS branding on the front, and a rear camera, the latter of which is not available on the Nexus 7.
The other major design difference between these devices is on the back. The Fonepad swaps the leather-like backing on the Nexus 7 for a classier looking metallic finish that comes in grey or gold colours. It might be better looking than the Nexus 7, but the surface does make the Fonepad a little slippery to hold, especially when you're using the device with one hand.
The speaker on the back produces poor quality, tinny sound.
The Fonepad feels reasonably well constructed. It creaks a little when you apply pressure to the back case but the rest of the tablet feels well built. The edges curve inwards from the back of the tablet to the front and this makes the body comfortable to hold and use, even single-handedly.
There's not too many ports and buttons on the Fonepad. You'll find a micro-USB port for charging and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom, and a power/lock screen and volume buttons on the left side. These controls provide decent tactility but their position on the curved edge of the Fonepad does make them a little hard to access at times, particularly when you're holding the tablet with one hand. There's also a speaker on the back, but it produces poor quality, tinny sound.
The ASUS Fonepad uses the same display as the Nexus 7. The IPS screen has a resolution of 1280x800 and a pixel density of 216ppi. It doesn't display very deep blacks and it lacks the vibrant colours of many tablet displays we've seen, though viewing angles are good. Although the screen is fine for most uses, we can't help but feel it will quickly be left behind in the coming months given that the Nexus 7 is likely to be upgraded with an improved display.
Jelly Bean with an ASUS touch
The lock screen, home screens and app drawer are almost identical to stock Android.
The ASUS Fonepad runs the 4.1 Jelly Bean version of Google's Android operating system. It's largely a vanilla version of the interface, though ASUS has added a few of its own touches and many of them actually add to the user experience.
The lock screen, home screens and the app drawer are almost identical to the stock version of Android, save for the screen indicators on the home page. The main changes have been made in the notifications pull down. ASUS has added a range of customisable quick toggles including Wi-Fi, mobile data, Bluetooth and sound, along with a brightness adjustment with auto toggle, and the ability to switch between normal and outdoor modes. The latter pushes the brightness to combat increased sunlight outdoors.
A range of small apps can be opened over the top of regular apps.
There's also the ability to capture and immediately edit any screenshots by holding the recent apps key, along with an AudioWizard equaliser with music, movies and games sound presets. However, the latter only works with the built-in speaker and not with wired or wireless headphones.
ASUS has also included a range of small apps that can be opened on-top of regular apps. They're accessible by tapping a fourth on-screen button in the dock and consist of a video player, to do list, stopwatch, sticky memo, email, dictionary, countdown timer, calendar, calculator and a mini browser. We opened up to five of these without any issues and you can easily resize the windows, or quickly open the full app if you need to.
Performance is best described as adequate rather than outstanding.
ASUS has preloaded plenty of apps on the Fonepad. There's a file manager, a MyLibrary books app, the Zinio magazine reader, To Do List, SuperNote Lite and Sticky Memo apps, along with a sound recorder. Perhaps the best inclusions are App Locker, which allows you to protect selected apps with a password, and Block List, which allows you to block selected phone numbers from calling you. There's also the ASUS WebStorage app, which offers one year of unlimited cloud storage and works similarly to the popular Dropbox service.
The ASUS Fonepad has reasonable specifications for a 7in Android tablet but performance is best described as adequate rather than outstanding. The 1.2GHz single-core Intel Atom Z2420 processor and 1GB of RAM keeps most apps performing with a minimum of fuss, though we did experience some annoying lag when swiping through home screens and opening the app launcher.
While the Fonepad is a capable enough tablet, we feel it borders on ridiculous to use as a phone. Both the incoming and outgoing audio quality for voice calls have no issues, but using the Fonepad to make calls just feels plain awkward. You can of course always use the Fonepad with a Bluetooth headset but ASUS is actually promoting the fact that you don't have to use one.
Good battery life but no 4G
The ASUS Fonepad sold in Australia has a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera that doubles as a 720p video recorder and a front-facing 1.2-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. The cameras are about what you would expect from a tablet, that being not great. However, the front-facing camera does the job for video calling in apps like Skype, Tango and Snapchat.
We managed around eight hours of battery life on most occasions.
The ASUS Fonepad only comes with 8GB of internal memory so if you do decide to use the camera a lot you won't have much room to store your media. However, there's a microSD card slot to expand the 8GB of onboard memory, a feature that's not available on the Nexus 7 and one that's a welcome addition here.
Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Fonepad is its 4270mAh battery. The company says it will power the Fonepad for up to nine hours and in our experience it wasn't far off this figure. We managed around eight hours of battery life on most occasions, though we do consider ourselves heavy users. More sporadic users may get closer to a full day of use before needing to recharge.
One reason for the Fonepad's decent battery life is its lack of 4G connectivity. The tablet uses the standard 3G network for data and works on Telstra, Optus and Vodafone in Australia.
Keep in mind that there is also three "power profiles" available use on the ASUS Fonepad — ultra-saving, optimised, and customised. We ran all our tests in optimised mode, which is the default setting. You should be able to push better battery life out of the Fonepad using the ultra-saving mode.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Amoxicillin is recommended as the minimum first-line treatment for community-acquired pneumonia in adults by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, either alone (mild to moderate severity disease) or in combination with a macrolide.

Brad Pitt insists he didn't cheat on Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie.
In a story posted on W magazine's Web site, the 45-year-old actor defends both women and says his relationship with Jolie didn't begin until after he and Aniston split in 2005.
Jolie revealed last year that she and Pitt fell in love on the set of the 2005 film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." In November, Aniston called Jolie's comments "really uncool."
Pitt tells the magazine for its Jan. 20 issue that filming continued after he and Aniston split, and that his relationship with Jolie wasn't "some kind of dastardly affair."
"I'm very proud of the way it was handled," he says. "It was respectful."

I have an edmx file that reflects 100% my DB schema. Along with this I need to create some custom Entities based on the existent, pretty much like a view that will aggregate fields of several entites into a single one.
The problem is that this isn't quite working. I tried several approaches but it always gave me conflicts with the actual entites already on the edmx.
I need to have those entities that reflect my DB schema, so do I have to create another edmx file to hold my custom entites and avoid colisions?
I also though of:
- create a stored procedure but then if I need to filter the SP result I eather have to add support for serach on the SP of get all the rows and filter with Linq2Objects... won't do this!
- create a View, and this one would work pretty well but I want to try to do this making use of the EF4 designer and keep everything in one place.
Could anyone point me to some examples?

The 2000 German harvest will not be a good one for German wine growers, according to the association of Quality Wine Growers (Verband Deutscher Praedikatsweingueter VDP).The harvest was smaller than expected due to heavy rain at the end of September.VDP president Michael Prinz zu Salm-Salm commented that the year 2000 would "separate the wheat from the chaff" to an extent not seen for ten years.The poor harvest comes at a time when, according to German reports, demand for top quality German wine is on the increase. However, producers of poorer qualities are still struggling as German wine in general continues to be out of favour and red wine dominates world wine sales (most German wine is white).

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Rosenberg's intrepid retainers of the Castle Cullinane return in this jaunty addition to his popular Guardians of the Flame series. Doughty men-at-arms Pirojil, Durine and Kethol are stuck with the dirty work when sneaky outworlder Walter Slovotsky avoids accepting a commission from the Dowager Empress to investigate claims that Lady Leria Vor'sen is being pressured to marry Lord Miron, the son of ambitious Elanee, baroness of nearby Keranahan. Along the way they're joined by the wizard Erenor, whose arcane powers may be rivaled by his theatrical ability, and whose background is as colorful as those of the Cullinane retainers. Though Lady Leria denies feeling any pressure under the watchful eye of Elanee, the three decide it's best to escort the young woman back to speak directly with the Dowager Empress?a plan that sets in motion a dangerous chain of events, all designed to keep Leria from reaching Cullinane safely. Fortunately Pirojil, Durine and Kethol, ably assisted by Erenor, are equal to the task of protecting Leria under almost any circumstances, given a little help from Slovotsky and Cullinane's dragon, Ellegon. Rosenberg writes his usual competent mix of earthy characters and gritty action, including a surprising climax that will irrevocably change the trio of friends and soldiers.

Summary: Three soldiers are dragged into a political argument and ordered to investigate a minor dispute in the outreaches of the realm, which leads to more than anyone had bargained for.
Pretty good opening concept, although I never read the backs of the books (it ruins the surprise for me). What interested me more than anything else was the pure grittiness of the world that Joel, whom I'm sure doesn't mind being on a first-name basis from me, captured and dropped into my hands. In a land of magic, legends and dragons, one wouldn't expect there to be hardship in simply travelling or even danger in getting a simple drink.
If life were so simple, there wouldn't be much of a story. So the attention to detail, the dangers of everyday life in a world without constant police presence, was impressive.
The characters are hardened veterans, having fought, bled and watched those they've known fall in battle, or even in a street fight. They're honorable without being fanatical about it, exceptionally practical and utterly dedicated to their lord. Joel captures and keeps the societal differences between our world and theirs, and the consistency of it was well done indeed.
The characters are Pirojil, ugly as can be and never is he portrayed otherwise, Durine, large and dangerous and distant, and Kethol, heroic and not too bright but humble. Despite their weaknesses, they are engaging and make for some plausible interaction. It seems obvious that people who have worked together for a long time would know each other, but Joel makes it a point to note some of their conversational short-cuts, and includes some failings among friends that are understandable.Read more ›
This teaser to another installment of the Guardians series is nothing less than perhaps his finest work to date. As a co-creator and writer of a fantasy gaming system myself, the plot elements, characterizations, and over-all pace is perfection on paper.
As a final credit to Mr. Rosenberg, I would like to thank him personally for carrying on the fine work and tradition of both his and my "mentor", the immortal Robert A. Heinlein. It was almost comical to see your dedication to him in your first novel. There are strong parallels between your writing styles and I'm sure that wherever he is now, he laughs at Walter too. Thanks for your stories and inspiration.
The return is in that the authors incredible flair for heroic fantasy is back. His descriptions of battle and the warriors that fight in it are exemplary. He shows the motivations behind all these "heroes", and that is what truly makes this, and all the Guardians books, wonderfull.
I was a bit disappointed not seeing Ahira, Ricetti or Andrea at all. Walters role, while prevalent was smaller than we have come to expect. None of the lingering questions from previous books were addressed in this novel.
I for one look forward to the next addition to this series. Anyone that wants to chat, comment or speculate with me on the series, please mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
Rosenberg keeps surprising me with the Guardians of the Flame series. The first books were well-done swashbuckling [sp?] fantasy series, with well-above-average characters, the best damn fight scenes in modern fantasy, and a quirky bloodymindedness that kept me wondering if Karl Cullinane could still be alive.
Then the second series, the two Walter Slovotsky books, turned things inside out and made it all close and personal.
Now, with the (eighth?) latest book in the series, Rosenberg seems to be reinventing heroic fantasy with almost casual ease.
No, they're not exactly the three musketeers. If you want a Dumas pastiche, read Steve Brust's Parfi (sp?) books.
This one is something else, as though Rosenberg is trying to reinvent what Dumas and ERBurroughs and Sabatini were getting at in their time.
My only question for "Jayar" (I caught the cameo appearance by Rosenberg in his own book -- very sneaky, Mr. R!) is:
When's the next one?

NBC's Community has a lot for sci-fi fans to look forward in the upcoming fourth season. Not only will the fourth episode feature Abed attending a convention devoted to the Doctor Who-like Inspector Spacetime, but it will include a guest role for Battlestar Galactica star Tricia Helfer. TVLine reports the actress will appear as Lauren, a huge fan of the series.
Helfer sent geek hearts aflutter as Caprica/Number Six on the Syfy sci-fi series. Since then, she's gone on to voice The Grid in Disney's animated TRON: Uprising and star in the short-lived dramas Deep Blue and The Firm.
The object of Lauren's obsession Inspector Spacetime, made its first appearance on Community with the Season 3 episode "Biology 101″ and has gone on to become an Internet sensation. Community returns on its new night on Friday, Oct. 19 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT
Oh yea. Can't wait for Oct. 19
Not a fan of Helfer.
"Community taps Tricia Helfer.." I'd like to tap her too

AbstractHall thrusters can be operated over a wide range of specific impulse while maintaining high efficiency. However S/C power system constraints on electric propulsion systems often force a choice of maximum power operation over a narrow range of specific impulse and thrust. Most spacecraft users would desire a continuous selection of thrust and specific impulse at maximum power when possible, but power supply systems currently do not exist with this level of functionality. To provide continuous Hall thruster adjustment, a power supply must be wide ranging in voltage, current, and power. In addition, the power supply system must be lightweight and efficient. The proposed work addresses these needs through a three-phase resonant power conversion strategy combined with novel frequency selective output-stage circuitry that will allow greater than 8:1 output voltage adjustment at power levels up to and beyond 100-kW. Three-phase resonant power converters utilize filter components with lower mass and size relative to single-phase converters, and demonstrated efficiencies are greater than 97%. Additionally, resonant converters operate at higher frequency, which results in extended stability when used in dynamic load situations imposed by Hall thrusters. The proposed Phase I program will develop a prototype power supply and demonstrate its functionality.

Deuter Futura Pro 40 SL
This is great backpack for overnight, but I also use it for day hiking too. It carries your gear comfortably and has lots of pockets and a rain cover. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to invest in a hard wearing, great all-around backpack. I'm a 5'5" and 120 pounds woman and it fit like a glove. I started my Camino de Santiago with another backpack that was just awful. I replaced it early on in my two-month 575 mile hike across Spain with the Deuter Futura Pro 40. Wow, it was an… Full review
ZPacks Zero
The Zpacks Zero is a frameless, ultralight, customizable pack made of Cuben Fiber. Consisting of only a pack body and shoulder straps, to begin with, Zpacks allows you to add features, that you deem necessary, to make the pack as full featured (or minimalist) as you'd like. My favourite options available are the back pocket, the sleeping pad straps, and the key pocket. If I were looking to omit some features I would leave off the webbing belt and not have the seams taped. I've made a video to… Full review
Osprey Talon 33
This pack is incredibly convenient. I use it for many things besides overnights, including adventure racing and orienteering. Because it's lightweight and well-made, even if it is not full, it's not a burden. The fit on this bag is a little large, but I was larger when I bought it. It actually cinches down really well. All the straps are very comfortable and adjust at all the right spots. They also have a ton of venting on the straps and the back allowing air to flow just about everywhere. I would… Full review

A really comfortable pack for women with the right size. I am 60 years old and so I don't want a really heavy pack and this suits me fine for up to 40 pounds on the trail.The medium size holds 46 litres of volume, which is plenty if you pack light. I use it for carry on as well, also included rain cover seals the deal. I dislike fancy expensive packs that leave a rain cover as an option. No pack is fully waterproof. I will not pay extra for this option. It is a necessity not a luxury. If you want… Full review

I love this pack. It's comfortable even when heavily loaded (hauling firewood FTW!) and has a great hip belt/suspension system. It's also stood up to a fair bit of abuse. My only complaint: I wish the hip belt were removable. Fit: I have a long torso but generally small build; fits great. Comfort/Ride: Great hip belt and suspension. I can even haul firewood for cabin camping with this thing. Easy to get a well-balanced, comfortable ride — not fiddly at all. Construction/Durability: I've put this… Full review
Osprey Talon 44
Just big enough. Lightweight. Durable and comfortable. I get out a lot all year long. This pack is my go-to overnight pack. It sits well due to the stabilizer straps and load balancing. It carries well on those long long days. It vents well on sweaty days. The pockets are carefully thought out for easy access to what I need through the course of the day. After five years it has one hole in it from a squirrel after my food. When I need a new pack it will be this one or one just like it. Full review
Deuter ACT Trail PRO 38 SL
This pack is well made and allows for many adjustments. The padding makes it quite comfortable and it is the perfect size for an overnight hike. This pack is designed for women and contains more padding through the hips. It is very comfortable. The adjustments could be improved a bit by offering a wider range (it could be just a tad smaller for me). It vents well and even on very hot days the back remains dry. The straps get wet, but that is something I can live with. The capacity is great for an… Full review
Osprey Talon 44
A lightweight, well constructed, and functionally designed mid-size backpack for 80% of my backpacking needs. Thus far, I have really enjoyed using this backpack. I have used the pack for a 3-day trip to Seminole Canyon, Texas, a 3-day trip around Lake Georgetown, Texas, and a 5-day trip through the Ozark Mountains, Arkansas. Fit: I have an average build — 6 feet tall, 175 lbs and 34 inch waist. I tried on both the small/medium size and the medium/large size and purchased the medium/large pack. Full review
Osprey Kyte 46
A nifty versatile backpack for the ladies, ideal for multiple uses and activities. With a starting weight of only 3.42-3.55 lbs and a load range between 20-45 lbs, this 46L pack has plenty of features. A great bag for you or the lady in your life, it holds everything you need and more for whatever your adventure needs!

I have a LINQ to Entities query (using EF 4) that has some pretty complicated set-based filtering going on. The code compiles just fine, but when I try to run it, I get the following error:
Unable to create a constant value of type 'ITextEntity'. Only primitive types ('such as Int32, String, and Guid') are supported in this context.
Now for the code. I have an interface that looks like this:
public interface ITextEntity
int ID { get; set; }
string TextValue { get; set; }
EntityCollection<Product> Products { get; set; }
The idea is that these "Text Entities" represent lookup tables storing properties of
Product. If Products have a color, all red Products will contain a Color entity with TextValue = "Red", and there will be a Color entity decorated with this interface:
public partial class Color : ITextEntity
//ID, TextValue, and Products implemented in EF-generated code
ITextEntities may have 1:N or N:N relationships back to
I have a nested collection (actually a
List<IEnumerable<ITextEntity>>) which contains sets of different entities implementing the
ITextEntity interface. I want to use these sets to filter a sequence of
Products in a semi-inclusive fashion. Here's the code:
List<IEnumerable<ITextEntity>> InclusiveFilters;
IQueryable<Product> Products;
Products = Products.Where(prod =>
InclusiveFilters.All(filter =>
filter.Any(iTextEnt =>
So what I'm trying to do is this:
- I have a set, Products, that I want to filter.
- For each of several types that implement
ITextEntity, there's a set S of entities of that type.
- Each object O has a set O.P of products.
- For each Product prod in Products,
for each set S,
for at least one O in S,
O.P must contain prod. If not, remove prod from Products.
As you can see, this is pretty complicated.
I have the feeling that this is caused by LINQ not being able to work with the
ITextEntity type, rather than a problem with my set operations. However, the complexity of the above is making this difficult to work with, and difficult to find a non-LINQ alternative. It's going to get pretty ugly if I can't use LINQ.
I found an MSDN page and a Stack Overflow thread discussing similar exceptions, but neither was much help. Another SO thread aims a finger at my use of the
Contains method, but because of the complexity here, I haven't had much luck trying to replace it with the BuildOrExpression method. I doubt BuildOrExpression will work anyway, since this is EF 4 and
Contains is supposed to be supported.
So I'm rather stuck here. Can anyone advise?
EDIT: This question was answered in Aug 2010, but I've come back to clean up the title and description.

I'm testing bigger scale and I will to show you my first attempt. It's 9 inches tall and made of super sculpey. I made the design except for the head that is coming from a bust of Smellybug
I put a base coat of paint.
For those who are interrested by my other smaller work there is a link.
I hope that I will have some feedback. Thanks for looking
Have a nice day

Interior problem
1994 Opel Corsa
Hi the center dash board lights do not work. The lights behind the heating control unit and the rear window de-frost.
I have checked the fuse and it's good. I took the radio out to try to reach behind the panel but can reach it. So how do I remove the panel to replace the lights, behind this center dash?
