From my experience with 'pro teams', you have to be an existing artist with one of the company's brands, and work your way up. Either that, or know somebody on the team, or stalk them on social media with your portfolio.

It Might Get Bright #01 :: Medium Format Night
IMGB#01 :: Friday, May 11th :: Doors open @ 7:00pm – till :: 125 New Street Decatur, GA 30030 :: free.99
–> All 100 tickets are claimed. Click here to get on the wait list. <–
Details after the jump…
I'm pleased to announce our new series of events at the studio called It Might Get Bright. This will be an ongoing series of events designed for photographers and creatives in and around the Atlanta area. We will be holding IMGB events as often as we can. I'd like to say about every six weeks but don't hold me to that. Some events will center around shooting and others will involve guest photographers providing talks, critiques, and/or keg stands.
The first of these events will be a shooting/demo event held in conjunction with the good folks at Capture Integration. CI is the company I bought my PhaseOne kit from and they have been extremely helpful to me as I've transitioned over to the IQ140. I had a ton of questions about medium format digital cameras and they spent hours with me as I tried to find the best solution for my needs. There was zero pressure and the follow up from them has been remarkable. I thought that since I had so many questions about all the different backs on the market that others probably do as well.
I started researching backs over three years before I purchased one and it sure would have been helpful if there was some sort of way I could demo a lot of backs in one place. I talked to Steve at Capture Integration shortly after purchasing my camera and he said that they would be more than happy to do an event at my studio space.
How this is going down …
We'll have a number of sets ready to go for the evening with several different cameras. Everything from inexpensive used digital backs to new ones. You'll be able to step up, grab a camera, and fire away. Try a used one. Try a new one. Take a look at a Leaf. Look at a Mamiya. Look at a Phase. Try a back on a Hasselblad body. Try one on a Mamiya. Find out what the heck a technical camera is. Pixel peep the images you shoot to your heart's content and if you bring a drive, you can take the files with you to continue the peep show in the privacy of your own home.
We'll have everything from Alien Bees to Profotos. Grids to softboxes. Folding tables to Tether Tools gear. From good, to better, to best. It's going to be a cool evening of geeking out on gear. If I can snag some swag to give away I will. If not, at least the beer is on me. (we do take beer donations)
You may say that you aren't interested in medium format. Or you may be but it's a number of years ahead in your future. Come on out and play around anyway and have a few drinks with all of us. You may hate medium format because you think the D800 is just as good. You're still welcome to come. I promise you this won't be a used car lot environment where someone is trying to sell you something everywhere you turn. It's simply an event I myself wish I could have gone to.
All 100 spots have been taken for now. Click here to get on the wait list. We're limiting this one to 100 people because it's gonna be packed with all the sets. Please bring your ticket to the door. Thanks!
Again, it's Friday, May 11th. Doors open at 7pm. My studio is at 125 New Street in Decatur, GA. This isn't an open event as many of our events are due to space concerns. Only ticket holders will be allowed entrance.
ALSO – We still need some interesting subjects to shoot for the night. Know any sk8trs, freestylers, rappers, dancers, sword swallowers, modelers that would be interested in hanging on a set for awhile? Please email dan @ zackarias.com with details! Thank you!
Any questions? Hit me in the comments.
PS – Disclosure – I am not receiving any endorsement, money, or product from Capture Integration or any other retailer or manufacturer for holding this event. I simply asked CI if they'd drag all their stuff to my studio to let everyone have a go at it. They said yes. End of story.
PPS – Yes, I'm borrowing from the name of the amazing film It Might Get Loud.
Awesome! I am moving to Atlanta on May 5th so this is going to be a great intro to the area.
It Might Get Loud was awesome…
The D800 doesn't do it for me. The D4 doesn't (honestly) really do it for me. I want to take a MF in the pit as bulky and awkward as that sounds. I'm a Nikon fanboy through and through and know it is the best DSLR system in the game, but I want more. Should be fun.
Hi Zack,
Will you have show available to view as a Post on your website or will it stream live? Sucks being down under:(
Can't keep up with the timezones.
Bummer zack
Will you be making a onelight dvd part2
In the near future? Or should i answer that
with a ZA signature 'Nope':)
Cheers Zack
An event!!
Should get an event photographer…
You know Zack, I think you have a a few Down Under readers – what would it take to get you down here for a workshop or two?
@jason & zack
That's easy : an endless supply of New Castle Beer!
C'mon zack pleeeeasse and stop being so damn humble man!
Awesome, Zack. Need to get my butt down to Atlanta for one of these.
i hate you all lucky bastards!
what would i give to live in US and live with people like Zack that spend their time to help others, US is far far from europe on that, here we all look how to screw others so we can do better and in US people actually, honestly, are trying to help.
Im kidding on hating you, no i really love your ways because even here in forsaken lands of Balkan we can learn from you.
thank you for that.
Got my tics! Driving over from Birmingham with a keg of Good People IPA, plan to get there a bit early to get the keg on ice
@Zack Ha! Can you imagine getting pulled over with that open container!!
Will you have a set for us slower shooters? Maybe with a X-Pro1!!
Zack – love your work mate, any plans to come do any shooting courses in South east asia region?( I'm in Malaysia), but would fly any reasonable distance to come do a workshop.
bugger, time Zack & Co bought themselves some tickets to Europe for a tour. (Iceland is in the direction….now just a few more miles Atlantic and your there…please visit Amsterdam before X-mas 2025)
Unfortunatly I cant make it as I live in DC. But since its somewhat related and I've been meaning to ask you, does your Phase back fit your SWC? Or did you get rid of the SWC once you got the Phase, I havent seen you talk much about the SWC latelly.
I get what you're saying. I read (or heard) somewere you said you did research for 3 years before buying the Phase. I've looked a little into it, I have a Rolleiflex right now, but want to try an add a film medium format (in the vain of the SWC) to incorporate into my Architecture work. But I want to have the flexibility to one day get a digital back for it. Everytime I look into it online I get confused and end up with a headache. Would you have a recomedation on something I can look into?
Cheers Z!
Any chance of you putting a link on twitter every time you put up a blog post? I for one would appreciate a wee timely nudge in this direction.
Zack and everyone at CI, thanks for putting on such a great event! It was aawesome to get to meet everyone and hang out, not to mention getting to work with some amazing gear! I look forward to future events! On a side note Zack, I had one of the best bugers I have had in quite a long time at The Corner Pub, thanks for the recommendation!

HAMPSTEAD – Assistant Superintendent Roxanne Wilson told the Hampstead School Board that administrators are still putting all the budget pieces together and the personnel piece is the biggest, as usual.
Wilson told the board the New Hampshire Local Government Center (LGC) had forwarded the "guaranteed not to exceed" amount for insurance so the numbers for that piece are firm, not estimates.
She said she is working on Pinkerton Academy enrollment and it appears there will be 20 fewer students next year, but she is waiting for the NESDEC (New England School Development Council) projections to confirm it.
At this point she said it appears there will be 435 students, and that will reduce tuition costs. Hampstead tuitions its high school students to the semi-private Pinkerton Academy in Derry.
The NESDEC projection is anticipated by Nov. 12 and Wilson said she was prepared to bring more budget information to the board at the Oct. 29 budget meeting. She said the numbers at Hampstead Middle School show more students than projected, which will probably result in the need to add a sixth grade teacher. However, she said, the overall enrollment in the district for all grades is exactly what they have.
In other business, the board learned that Pinkerton had sent a letter to Superintendent Earl Metzler saying it was in the process of organizing scholarship awards for this year's graduating class. Pinkerton requested Hampstead to notify it by Nov. 15 regarding its plans for continuing with School Board scholarship awards and any changes being contemplated.
The board briefly discussed the scholarships, noting it awarded a $300 scholarship to a female and male Hampstead resident who graduates each year from Pinkerton. After board member Jim Stewart questioned the amount of the scholarships, member Jason Cipriano told the board in the classes he teaches, a single student textbook costs at least $260.
The board voted unanimously to increase the scholarship amounts to $500 for each award.
Hampstead School Budget Still Work in Progress
HAMPSTEAD – Assistant Superintendent Roxanne Wilson told the Hampstead School Board that administrators are still putting all the budget pieces together and the personnel piece is the biggest, as usual.

Liver Shunt Info
How Liver Shunt Happens
Dr. Dodd's Diet
for Liver Compromised Dogs
Well – it's apparently been a stressful day for mom here. She went in to Knoxville this morning on business but somewhere along the way she got off track with someone about "designer dogs"…so when she got home we had to sit down and have a talk. You see my mom agrees with President Obama - "a lot of dogs are mutts like me"
Now, I know, I know I'm a Peek-A-Poo and we've been around since the 50's – but we have no illusions about exactly what I am. Of course we think the AKC should recognize us as a breed because, like I said, we've been around for a VERY long time!!!! But, the bottom line is I am a mutt, I always will be a mutt - but I'm a loveable mutt and my mommy and daddy love me just the same as if I had those fancy papers!
The truth of the matter is that probably 80% of the dogs bought from breeders are kept as pets. Sure, there are some that are working dogs, show dogs, etc. but the VAST MAJORITY are kept in homes by families just like mine. Every dog my folks bought before me were dogs with "papers" - mommy said they were no better than me!
My mommy and daddy waited 8 years to get another dog after their beloved Springer Spaniel, Keats, crossed over the rainbow bridge. All they wanted was another pet – and they found me. When I got sick a few weeks ago they took me to the vet, paid for my intensive care and took me to the University of Tennessee Veterinary hospital to get me taken care of. The cost was over $2000 but they have not complained about the cost or blamed the lady who has my parents. They just contacted her to let her know what was wrong with me and that it might be congenital - my folks are very responsible about their pets [I'm neutered and the cats are all fixed too]
So today someone told mommy that she shouldn't have gotten a "designer dog". They chastised her for not getting a pound puppy. First of all, what business is it of theirs? Second of all, if mommy hadn't gotten me I could have ended up in a shelter!!!
Truth is, mommy looked in shelters but they didn't have any little dogs that didn't shed…but whatever the reason mommy got me and it's nobody's business. We're all for people going to shelters. Mommy writes a pretty big check with four figures on it every year to our local shelter – so we think we're doing our part for shelter dogs. We also donate all the food I refuse to eat to the shelter and toys I don't like. So get off our case!!!!!
I don't know why people have to bash people who want designer dogs!
Hey' we're not thrilled with breeders, designers or pure bred, who charge exhorbitant amounts of money for dogs that are going to be family pets. Designer breeders are in the business of making money! DUH! Purebred Breeders are in the business of making money! As long as there is a market out there of people who are willing to pay $2000 and more for a dog these people will keep the prices up. If the people stop paying those prices then the prices will drop!!
Breeders say they genetically test their dogs! Give me a break! If that were the case then why are so many small dogs suffering from Liver Shunt! Sure some do the testing but I bet that percentage is below 15% of breeders. But hey - were YOUR parents tested genetically before they decided to have you??? I don't think so!
Bottom line is we're all dogs - pure bred, designer or just plain 'ole mutt! Just like humans are all humans whether they are white, black, brown or pink!
And most importantly – my mommy and daddy love me and I love them!!!!!!!!
Well, I went to see Dr. Watson - we're all so happy that I seem to be doing better. Everyone thinks I must have just eaten something bad that mommy missed! Mommy better keep better tabs on me - hehehehe - No seriously, momm watches me like a hawk, so it was probably that I just overdid the chews!
Anyway - I'm back on my regular food and off that low protein stuff. I got CHICKEN this morning. And, I don't have to take anymore of those yuky pills every morning, nor do I have to take that luctulose that makes me go poop.
It's a GREAT day in Oak Ridge!
Hi - I'm Checkers and I'm a Peek-A-Poo - I have my own website which you can go to at www.signaturetrim.com
I hope to find some doggie friends here.
I've been kind of sick for a few weeks. At first they thought I had a liver shunt - that doesn't seem to be the case - I spent all day at the University of Tennessee yesterday - and they can't figure it out! I'm a complicated little dog. BUT - I'm awfully cute!

Reviews for this host's other properties
wonderful appartement and great location in montmatre. Everything was clean and satisfying. ONE THING: the seperate bed for the 3rd person was broken. We used the mattress on the floor. It was ok but not that nice. This appartement is perfect for two persons.
The appartment was nice and close to lots of cafes and bars. The area is beautiful and well worth staying in this part of Paris. Would love to visit Marais again.
We could not stay in the flat we had reserved, but we were given a very nice substitute flat on a nearby street in the same Bastille neighborhood. We enjoyed everything. It was easy to find, modern, and clean, with excellent beds. We had plenty of room for 4 people. Our street was nice, with shops and cafes. We like to walk, and we're able to walk to all the Paris sites ( although we were very tired at the end of the day). The second day we used the metro, which was also easy.
I wasn't sure how to use the lock on the apartment, but our hosts responded immediately with simple directions.
I originally booked another apartment but was given this because the one I'd paid for was unavailable. The location is amazing, but the flat isn't very nice and it's not accurately represented by the pictures on the website. For instance, the walls in the living room are now a horrible purple colour; it's in such poor condition that paint is peeling badly at the entrance and in most rooms; the 'new' sofa bed doesn't fit in the living room (unless you remove the table, but then you can barely squeeze through the middle room to get to the bathroom); and the mattress on that sofa bed is disgusting. Also, one window blind has to stay completely open because the (barely functioning) satellite for the TV blocks it, so good luck trying to sleep in that room if the sun has risen. The proper bed has a nice mattress, but the bed isn't adjusted to compensate for the strong slant of the floor, so it's hard to roll over and the mattress tends to slide to one side of the bed. There are few glasses and some are chipped, so be prepared to buy disposable ones. Finally, the shower curtain was so black with mould that we had to buy another one. The stars are for the location, which is incredible, but the property itself was really disappointing and not as described.
the first time I used this servicio.Realmente worth and have found no answer exactly problem.The apartment features shown in good serviciode fotos.Muy key collection and possibility to leave luggage at the salida.Unico problem, a little more cleaning to be perfect
la primera vez que usamos este servicio.Realmente merece la pena y no hemos encontrado ningun problema.El apartamento respondía exactamente a las caracteristicas mostradas en las fotos.Muy buen serviciode recogida de llaves y posibilidad de dejar equipajes a la salida.Unico problema,un poco mas de limpieza para ser perfecto
The apartment conveniently situated centrally. Barely had room to leave personal clothing (teniía a small closet, and was fully occupied). The day we arrived (Thursday), the elevator did not work. He contacted the owner. The day we left (Tuesday), still did not work. We're talking about a 3rd floor, with a narrow staircase. He had chosen this apartment among other reasons because it had a lift.
El apartamento muy bien situado: centrico.
A penas había espacio para dejar la ropa personal (teniía un armario pequeño, y estaba ocupado totalmente).
El día que llegamos,( jueves), el ascensor no funcionaba. Se lo comuniqué al propietario. El día que nos marchamos (martes), seguía sin funcionar. Estamos hablando de un 3ª piso, con una escalera estrecha. Había elegido este apartamento entre otras razones porque tenía ascensor.
The flat ess perfect, the only problem was that the shower was to hot , you have to wait 10 minutes to get "normal" temp.
Except that, perfect staying!
cute little apartment relaively, central, suitable for short stay, were 5 for 4 days, would do it again
niedliche kleine Wohnung, relaiv zentral, für Kurzaufenthalt geeignet, waren 5 Personen für 4 Tage, würde es wieder tun
we were greeted with great cordiality and availability; perfect location for getting around town, a very lively, full of opportunities and services; young environment. The house is very bright space value in a city known for its small structures. services at home a little dated, but nothing that would affect such a short stay.
siamo stati accolti con grande cordialità e disponibilità; perfetta la posizione per muoversi in città, quartiere molto animato, ricco di opportunità e di servizi; ambiente giovane. La casa è molto luminosa uno spazio di valore in una città nota per le strutture piccole.
i servizi in casa un pò datati ma nulla che potesse incidere negativamente su un soggiorno così breve.
The apartment is really ok for the price, it's all you could need and the location is really good.
Die Wohnung ist für den Preis wirklich in Ordnung, es ist alles da was man braucht und die Lage ist richtig gut.

Local shelter dogs are 'treated' to early holiday gifts
Pastor Glenn Thyrion (far left) and other members of Trinity United Methodist Church hold puppies at the Roswell Humane Society with manager Carol Rogers (far right.) (Ilissa Gilmore Photo)
Members of Trinity United Methodist Church delivered handmade dog treats to local animal shelters Monday in an effort to show holiday spirit to canines and raise awareness of animal adoption.
Rev. Glenn Thyrion said the church participates in a program that provides gifts for children who have parents in jail, but "we didn't think anyone was doing anything for dogs in 'doggie jail,'"— or places [auth] such as the Roswell Humane Society and Roswell Animal Services.
Congregation members and other volunteers listened to Christmas music as they prepared the dough, made of whole wheat flour, baking powder, peanut butter and chicken broth, for baking. The biscuits were cut into various shapes, including a traditional bone-shape imprinted with the word "Trinity."
Onita Barkley-King, who helped organize the activity, said it was one of the church's mission projects to "do some good in the community."
"The dogs and cats out there, they're God's creatures, too," she said.
The church made close to 600 treats to give to shelters as well as dog owners in the area.
Thyrion, who has two rescue dogs, hopes the effort will raise awareness of dog adoption.
"It's more than about getting a dog a home, it's about getting that home a dog," he said.
Wearing Santa hats, congregation members brought bags of treats to the Roswell Humane Society and Roswell Animal Services and personally offered them to the dogs.
Animal Services kennel manager Tammie McKee said the organization was appreciative of the effort and the church's interest. In November, the organization took in 563 animals of which 45 were adopted, she said.
At the Humane Society, 65 dogs and 25 cats are available for adoption. The center can house close to 1,000 dogs and 400 cats a year.
"I think it's a terrific thing they're doing," said Carol Rogers, Humane Society manager. "Fresh baked cookies—what doggie wouldn't what that? Our babies are going to love every bit of that."

"The Zylo's design would have been cutting edge if it had been launched a couple of years ago". That's the pertinent comment here.
Sony's caught up in the same bureaucratic processes that have weakened Nokia, and it's reflected in the dated product line. Really - why would anyone release a music phone now - with Android, it's zero cost to make it a smartphone.
This is what happens when the accountants, lawyers and middle managers win over the designers.
Nice wallpaper :)
@SRS: Actually, not everyone wants a smartphone. I know that's hard to believe when you read a site like this, but those people do exist. Two of them are my parents.
Reduced battery life and increased bulk notwithstanding, smartphones require you to learn a whole new way of interacting with your phone - through a touchscreen. This isn't something my 8-year-old nephew has a problem with, but my parents are completely flummoxed by it. Concepts like customisable desktops and app stores just don't strike a chord with them, they'd rather have something that follows the intuitive conventions they've become used to over the past decades. Things like number pads and call start/end buttons.
The iPhone is the only smartphone I would consider giving to my parents, but it just costs too darn much for what they'll get out of it. Bring on the iPhone nano I say...
@Chris - that's a very fair point.
But do your parents want a musicphone - which will have some added complexity - or do they want something easy to use that just makes and receives calls? If the latter, then I'd argue the Sony isn't any good for them (and millions of others too) either.
A lot of people's phone requirements might be covered by something like this: http://www.silverphone.co.u...
I still can't see who will buy the Sony...
What Chris said. Why do reviewers (and others) assume that a smartphone is inherently better regardless of the user's needs, and that to make anything other than a smartphone is a mistake? For the record, I have a smartphone. It's an excellent smartphone, and allows me to check e-mails, browse the Internet, use various social messaging and network apps, the list goes on... it's also a pain in the backside. It needs charging every other day (which is apparently good for a smartphone!), is large enough to be unwieldy, and above all it complicates the simple yet rather important task of actually calling people... incidentally, before you say "You should have bought Smartphone X", in my opinion this last point applies to ALL smartphones. In my opinion every one of them, without exception, is inferior to a dumbphone in terms of being used as a TELEPHONE.
Smartphone evangelists tend to be rather blind to their shortcomings - for example, I have seen many smartphones criticised for providing a whole one or two physical buttons, on the basis that everything should be handled on-screen. This ignores one rather important factor - the weather. Hands tend to be sweaty in summer, and cold (and therefore covered by gloves) in winter. Both can cause problems when it comes to simply choosing to accept a call. Plus, considering all the emphasis on "Intuitive" interfaces nowadays, jabbing one physical button to make a call and another to end it is about as intuitive as you can get - and a physical keypad is inherently easier to use when, for various reasons, you can't look at the screen!
I wouldn't give up my smartphone but still feel the need to own a dumbphone for a number of situations. More importantly I accept that there is a need for choice, in the same way that I wouldn't suggest doing away with all compact cameras on the basis that SLRs are "better". Many, many people (still the majority in fact) do not need or want what a smartphone has to offer. This does not make them insane...
@SRS: Actually, both of my parents are proud owners of Sony Ericsson W910s at the moment. They've always liked the Ericsson interface (they've had SE phones since before Ericsson became SE) and the Walkman features just add an extra button that they never press. That button didn't cost them anything, both phones were bought cheap on PAYG at the end of the model's life. Admittedly, buying a *new* Walkman phone for either of them wouldn't represent a sensible purchasing decision...
However, I see your point. If people like my parents don't use the Walkman features and everyone else buys a smartphone, what's the purpose of the Walkman phone? Maybe that's why the market at large has stopped taking any notice.
PS I've recently recommended a similar phone to the one you linked for my mother's octogenarian foster parents. One has arthritis and neither has owned a mobile phone before, so it seemed like the right choice. My parents aren't quite there yet :)
MrGodfrey, I couldn't agree more. I have a smartphone that enables me to do all the normal smartphone things, email, web, social networking etc.. But it has a smaller screen that enables it to have lots of physical buttons and makes it more pocket friendly. Also the battery life is pretty decent as I can go 2-3 days between charges depending on how much I've hammered the GPS/wi-fi etc.
In fact the only thing I miss out on are fart apps and angry birds, but that's a sacrifice I'm prepared to make ;-)
Oh and my phone is well over 2 years old now and still going strong.
Does anyone know how I can install skype on this phone? Is it even possible? If so can someone please send me a link or something? Thanks

CSID Identity Monitoring Sign-Up Starts
Today starts the sign-up period to receive a second year of state-paid identity protection coverage following last year's hacking of state income tax records at the Department of Revenue, which put the personal information of millions of taxpayers at risk.
The state contracted with Experian for credit monitoring during the first year after the data breach, but is switching to CSID for the next year.
Marti Phillips, who heads the new ID Theft Unit with the state Department of Consumer Affairs, suggests enrolling soon.
"The Experian enrollment was for a year from the date that the individual signed up," Phillips explains. "They don't have to wait for the expiration date to pass before they sign up with CSID.
"So you could have really dual enrollment. You could still be covered for the remainder of your term with Experian and still be enrolled with CSID beginning on October 24th."
CSID President Joe Ross says his company will provide broader coverage, including keeping an eye on the "dark web," where ID thieves buy and sell information.
"We monitor what we call an 'SSN trace,' which alerts you to names, aliases and addresses associated with your Social Security number; court and criminal records to alert you if your identity has been used to commit a crime," Ross tells WVOC.
"We also monitor what we call 'payday loan activity.' That's the high-interest Cash America, pawn shop-type loans. So we'll alert you if you've had a loan taken out in that arena as well. Then we also alert you if a change of address has been processed to re-route your mail to gain access to your personal information."
Ross says CSID also offers identity restoration service in case you do become a victim of ID theft, plus $1-million worth of insurance to cover expenses associated with recovering your identity.
You can enroll for the new protection coverage online or by calling a toll-free number – even if you did not sign up with Experian the first year.
Sign-up can be done online at www.scidprotection.com or by calling a toll-free number, 1-855-880-2743.

Cincinnati vs. Rutgers - Postgame Quotes
Oct. 11, 2008
Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
Rutgers vs Cincinnati – 10/11/08 Nippert Stadium – Cincinnati, Ohio
Head Coach Brian Kelly
Opening Statement
"Well, it is obvious we have reached BIG EAST conference play. Just a great college football game. I know most people reserve those comments for 52 points being scored, but it was physical football on both sides of the ball. I think there were some great things that occurred. We put Rutgers on the long field most of the day. When you are looking for hidden yardage and competitive advantage, we did a great job of putting us at a competitive advantage. Except for a mental breakdown defensively with the drive Rutgers put together in the third quarter. I think defense played a great game. Offensively, they made it tought for us all day. Chazz was still efficient, and he took care of the game. He played clean. The story offensively is the penalties. We shot ourselves in the foot numerous times to put more points on the scoreboard. This was week one; we have still six more weeks. Yippee."
On BIG EAST Competition
"We talked about how we could lose all our games and Rutgers could win. That is how the BIG EAST is. Always are going to be close. It will be like that all year. We will have to slug it out all year."
On Kevin Huber
"It was extraordinary what he was able to do. It makes it easier for me. You don't know how many times I've wanted to go for it, but it makes it easier when you have a guy like that that can pin the football. We were putting them down there to force them to make a mistake." "I thought we were aggressive in our play calling when we needed to be. Having Huber, we didn't want us to be in the position where they could turn the game around."
On Mike Mickens' Improvements...
"He is playing better football the last three weeks. He has to continue to play better. I'm glad he has played at a higher level."
On Penalties
"I was disappointed. Especially on the offensive line, we had three or four false starts, and we haven't had that all year. I'm crazy about them. Our guys are running if they make a mistake. I don't know what it was, but we were mistaken prone today. The lack of flow makes it hard to call plays. You have a thought process of how you call plays, and then you are backed up five yards. You lose some continuity, and it makes it much more difficult."
On Jake Rogers Long FG
"He has been kicking it very well. He came to me, and told me 'Coach, I got it.' Earlier in the year, he didn't have the confidence in him."
On Tony Pike's Condition
"He'll be available for Connecticut. I won't know at what level until we get a chance to practice him at a normal setting. He has thrown and he has down pretty well. He will be cleared to play, and dressed."
On the Quarterback Race
"I really haven't thought about it. I will think about it tomorrow a little bit more. I think it is a competitive situation every week. I have another guy who is chomping at the bit in Dustin Grutza. Do you open it up to everyone or some? My email will be open if you want to drop me a note on how to pursue this situation because I'm not sure."
On Chazz Anderson's Sacks
"There is a lot to it. I think at the very minimum we would have liked to get the ball out of his hand quicker. There is a lot to that. The bottom line is the ball has to come out quicker in those kinds of situations. That is good coaching on the Rutgers side because that's what they needed to do and they did it."
Player Quotes
Kevin Huber, Sr., Punter
On Game Performance
"I would like to get more hang on it, and make it more pretty. Sometimes you have to take what you get. Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out. I'm not happy with my punts, but it is something that I have to work on before UConn."
Mike Mickens, Sr., CB
On The Final Play
"They just lined up in a formation that we have been practicing all week. I played it inside, was able to get underneath, and went for the ball. I think I got a little bit of the ball in my hands."
Connor Barwin, Sr., DE
On Kevin Huber
"He is a weapon out there for us. Anytime we are on defense, it is like we are down inside the 20. It is a huge weapon for us defensively. They have to go 80 to 90 yards to score."
On Penalties
"We just made bad decisions. We got penalties, and we can't do that if we want to keep winning."
Chazz Anderson, Fr., QB
On Game Performance
"It's hard to tell. I'll look at the film. There is always need for a ton of improvement when you are a young quarterback."
On if this game is symbolic of the season:
"I think we're getting better, but if you let it frustrate you and you quit then you will never know how close you were. We are going to go back to work and we'll get over the hump."
On the frustration level of the season:
"I'm very frustrated, but the difference between frustration and doubt is extremely important. I know how hard every one of these kids work and coaches work and right now it's not clicking and we will go back to the drawing board and try to get it right."
On the close game:
"We have a great group of kids in there and a great group of coaches in there and sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way. Again, today we did not turn the ball over for the second week in a row, but we did not get any turnovers as well. This was a close game and in close football games it usually comes down to one or two players making a play."
On the offense:
"If you look at the third downs, we had third and sixes and third and fives and we need to convert those to have sustainable drives. We had more manageable third downs today and we have to convert those."

Nothing like getting the boss to spill the beans...
Running in line with what we've been hearing and counter to Apple's keynote guide Uri Gellar look-a-like and Telefonia Europe CEO Matthew Key has stated there will be an announcement from Cupertino about the impending 3G iPhone in "the coming weeks".
When pressed further Key expanded slightly explaining "That's more of a question for Apple ... but over the coming weeks we will do a joint announcement with Apple as Telefonica Group". Given that Telefonia owns O2, Key was also forced to fend off suggestions O2 gave Apple too much for the exclusive UK rights to the famed handset when it agreed to an unprecedented revenue sharing business model pointing to the company's impressive Q1 results announced today.
In these Telefonica Europe reports revenue growth of 6.4 per cent to €903m, with growth of 5.3% in operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA). Notably data revenue (excluding SMS) has rocketed to €205m within that - a leap of 40.6 per cent year-on-year. As for the UK, revenue grew by 12.6 per cent (13.1 per cent OIBDA)
Key went on to say O2 would not be interested in buying Tiscali (heavily linked with Vodafone) and - quite frankly with Be Unlimited in the bag - why would it.
Lastly, for all our Swiss reader(s) out there: Swisscom has secured the contract to sell the iPhone in Switzerland. Grab your holey cheese and high cocoa content chocolate and celebrate!

Heard and read that there is bad/dirty fuel being sold at supermarket garages and causing all sorts of problems, i filled up this week and the engine warning light came on after and stayed on for 2 days. read tanks having to be empied and new fuel filters fitted and on some cars whole fuel systems being bled and flushed any one else had a problem?
Tags: technical issues
warning lights
Petrol or diesel?
Back in 2007, there was a problem with Tesco and Morrisons petrol. It caused engine problems for some customers, and the supermarkets compensated them.
The problem was caused during shipment of fuel in a tanker between the Vopak tank farm in Rotterdam and the UK. Anti-foaming compound intended for diesel fuel was added to the wrong tank. When the organic silicone compound was burnt in a petrol engine, a layer of silicon dioxide (glass) formed over the Lambda sensor preventing it working and causing the engine to go into limp home mode.
The point is that whilst it happened to be fuel destined for Tesco and Morrisons, it didn't of itself suggest that supermarket fuel was more likely to be off-spec it general - presumably it could have happened with branded fuel.
The only drawback I can see to supermarket fuel is that it is more likely to vary than branded fuel, as it could come from different sources. But the base fuels come from the big refiners and are therefore the same as can be found on branded forecourts - Tesco and Morrisons don't have their own refineries - yet.
I can't find any news reports of current problems - maybe there are rumours surfacing that have their roots in the 2007 incident.
Supermarkets in general have a very high fuel turnover;you're more likely to get grotty fuel from small stations with low turnover and old storage tanks.
All fuel dispensers have large filters in them anyway. You won't get dirt or water out of a fuel pump at any decent garage.
Here is a picture, it may look like an oil filter but the size is probably 3-4 times longer in each direction.

The only time I ever had a really duff tankful was from a Shell station and it was indeed rather off the beaten track.
It's a universally acknowledged fact that supermarket fuels lack unspecified additives in unquantified amounts; the result is instant, catastrophic engine failure. The only solution is to buy fuels with powerful sounding names.
I've not suffered instant,catastrophic engine failure on either of my cars-one has been running on supermarket fuels for ten-plus years-what am I doing wrong?
Incredible! I've got a 15 year old banger that's had also had a lifelong diet on supermarket swill. You'd think I'd spend every weekend scraping deposits off the injectors, wouldn't you? But amazingly the fuel system is still functioning perfectly well.
Supermarkets generally get their fuel from the same refineries and terminals as the big fuel brands do. It's often delivered in the same tankers too. Sometimes part of a load will go to a branded garage, another part to a supermarket. This is what I've heard representatives of the fuel retail industry say when interviewed on radio and TV, anyway.
Essentially, supermarkets sell the same standard fuel as branded garages, although the latter also sometimes sell more expensive 'exotic' fuel for fussy cars or owners!
I nearly always get my fuel (diesel for one car, petrol for the other) from the local supermarket and I've not noticed any problems with the engines.
Edited by Sofa Spud on 16/05/2011 at 09:07
There should not be an issue with any supermarket fuel. It has to conform to the minimum 95 octane for petrol and the same quality of diesel as BP, Shell etc. I've used it for years, interspersed with Texaco/Shell etc, and my car is fine. If you're worried about muck deposits, get some of that weird goop garages use and tip it into 3/4 tank of fuel. It'll clean it all out.
I do occasionally treat my car to super unleaded as it has extra detergents etc in.
I thought this had been done to death so many times before.
The definitive answer then (unless something's changed) was the fuel's the same apart from the additives put in at the point of delivery.
HJ used to advocate the use of Shell and Texaco.
Any info as to the nature and quantity of these additives...? EN590 diesel isn't exactly raw crude as it is.
Sorry, can't help you.
I recall someone on here, claiming to be a fuel tanker driver, said the same fuel's delivered to all retail outlets. It's just what's added to the different branded fuel stations at the time of delivery.
I'd be really surprised if anything was added to the fuel by the staff at the forecourt. Without wanting to cast aspersions, the liability concerns are just too big to entrust the integrity of a tank of fuel to the checkout staff. And I can't see the tanker driver pratting around with a measuring jug, pipette and a bottle of SECRET ADDITIVE-FOR PREMIUM PUMPS ONLY!!! NO GIRLS ALLOWED!!
If anyone thinks I have a vendetta against 'premium' fuels then they're right. Numerous consumer organisations have been telling people for years to stop wasting their money on supposedly high performance fuels. Numerous independant tests have shown no statistically significant difference in fuel economy. Yet the venders still peddle the stuff based on unfounded insinuation and rumour. Tesco momentum is the most egregious example-claiming up to 25% more miles per gallon compared to Tesco regular. The only honest part of the statement is the 'up to' which means less than. Anyone who understands engines will tell you that you don't make substantial increases in efficiency by changing the fuel. To make 25% more mpg would require changing the calorific value of the fuel by about 25% which is impossible.
Unthrottled, your imagined picture is a little over the top, but, in essence (!) it's correct.
I had a discussion with a BP tanker driver a while back. Apparently, when the tanker pulls in to the fuel depot (in this case, it was the notorious Buncefield in Hemel Hempstead), the driver adds BP's potion to it before filling up and driving off to deliver to the various forecourts.

Gosh! But that means that the base fuel is the same-and hence the calorific value of the fuel is the same-so no reason for more mpg.
I share your scepticism, but admit to using Miller's with my diesel, I suppose for added piece of mind; it's not a logical thing.
Modern road tankers are not one big tank but are a number of tanks;this caused problems several years ago when the driver had to add the additives.From his gallon can,he put a slop in the first tank,a slop in the second and so on till he got to the last tank-it either got the remainder of the can or,more likely,zilch,the can was empty!
Gosh! But that means that the base fuel is the same-and hence the calorific value of the fuel is the same-so no reason for more mpg.
Previous thread here, where I posted an explanation of what premium diesel does. Believe me or not, as you like. It came from a petroleum chemist who worked on the fuel standards (known personally to me, not a friend-of-a-friend).
In a nutshell, it's about keeping injectors clean, not calorific value. And you won't necessarily see any benefit at all, unless your injectors were dirty in the first place. The premium diesel fuels also have a higher cetane value (55 vs 51 for standard BSEN590).
What's the relevance of this to supermarket vs. branded? Additives make a difference. Supermarket, branded, and differently branded fuels have different additive packs.
I wouldn't try to dissuade anyone from using supermarket petrol, which might or might not be as good as a given brand. It won't generally be the same though. I choose to use Shell. It's as cheap where I buy it, and I get points, and I don't have to enrich anti-competitive supermarkets even more.
Sorry, but this looks like a sleight of hand trick; the true part is that deposits in injectors will affect spray pattern and quantity, the deception comes from the allegation that 'ordinary' fuel is somehow more prone to causing deposits than premium fuel.
That's why I keep asking what these additives are and what quantities they are added in. For some reason the details remain sketchy. Why is the recipe such a secret when any of the competitors could easily undertake chemical analyses of rivals' fuel...?
I've already opined that cetane rating is a double edged sword and I'm sticking to that line. In some ways petrol works quite nicely in a compression ignition engine-you get virtually completely soot free combustion-precisely because the cetane rating is so low.
I have found that when i drive on tesco unleaded i get a lower mpg as compared to shell unleaded. i know shell unleaded is more expensive but after all the calculations are done, the pound per mile value (how much it cost to drive a mile) is better when driving with shell unleaded.
i am currently experimenting with v-power to see if the pound per mile is better with it.
Its all vry confusing wil we ever get a definite answer on this subject?
You never will, this is one of the most discussed topics on motoring boards, there is more myth and fokelore surrounding the old Supermarket vs Branded argument than you can shake a stick at.
My belief is that naturally all fuel in an area is supplied by the same distributiuon depot. However depending on who the base fuel is for, the tanker driver has a card which determines the additive pack required by a specific customer. I guess we will never know how this can vary.
Furthermore, I think petrol car drivers should not worry asa the spec for petrol is so exact compared to that of diesel so I would be amazed if there was truly any discernable difference between the two, and any performance/MPG issues would be more down to temperature/prtessure etc.
Diesel is a bit of a differnt ball-game, and not only can diesel vary from refinery batch to batch, or from different refinerys, the additive pack is capable of having a profound effect on noise, mpg and performance.
Having said all of this, I have never found a true difference between my local shell garage and any of the supermarkets diesel in Reading.
My nearest Shell is always 1p a litre cheaper than the supermarkets so they get my business.
I'm not sure it's deception! The build-up of deposits on valves and combustion chambers from "non-premium" fuel is quite well known. Bore-scope examinations in one of the mags are the only illustrations available to the public that I have seen. They have been cited here several times before. Other than that, the fuel standards people have been pressing for a detergent standard in fuel. "On behalf of automobile and engine manufacturers from around the world,we are pleased to present the Fourth Edition of the Worldwide Fuel Charter.The Charter was first established in 1998 to promote greater understanding of the fuel quality needs of motor vehicle technologies and to harmonise fuel quality worldwide in accordance with engine and vehicle needs. Importantly, it matches fuel specifications to the needs and capabilities of engine and vehicle technologies designed for various markets around the world."
Here is a link to my citation: tinyurl.com/3esx5d7 Page 34 gives an outline of the effects of deposits, and the reasons for additives. There are later documents re bio-diesel etc. It's not required at present under EN 590. So, it seems quite possible that long-term use of lesser fuels will lead to loss of performance and increased Nox due to unwanted deposits. As Manatee said earlier.
Edited by nortones2 on 17/05/2011 at 11:35
Page 34 gives nothing of the sort! It gives an outline of the effect of cetane. There's nothing about deposits until p47-48-and then the report mentions (re injector fouling) "...At present, such a standardized test procedure has not been established...".
So they're convinced that fouling of injectors is a problem, but they haven't got managed to devise a test to measure the phenonemon?
Terribly sorry I misled you on the page number. Maybe it was because I looked at it in Google rather than the usual pdf viewer. I do most sincerely apologise. Not. However, if you look at the section on gasoline engines there is information about deposits, their effects and remedies. There is a test for measuring deposits, and bearing in mind the report is several years old there may be newer tests specific to diesel engines. That being said, whether there is a test or not, the engine manufacturers and Bosch have flagged up problems and remedies to a known issue.
Not that I would wish to "crow" or owt
But der ould Galaxy is still going like a clock after 234,000 miles of mostly non premium diesel i.e. rarely if ever Shell BP or branded expensive stuff.
Sometimes Supermarket or Maxol or "smuggled", but never filled at a "buckshee" or cowboy site. ( well just for a month or so)
& the Origional injectors seem to be fine,(& cannot know since they havney ever been pulled)
Ok in the -15 frost she gargled & spluttered a bit before coughing into life, but hey she started.
& her still be capable of astoundingly good mpg forby.
That is all

I totally disbelieve this. It is one of these marketing concepts which is almost impossible to dis-prove and so in most peoples minds is in fact a fact !
Sorry, but this looks like a sleight of hand trick; the true part is that deposits in injectors will affect spray pattern and quantity, the deception comes from the allegation that 'ordinary' fuel is somehow more prone to causing deposits than premium fuel.
There is no deception. In the case of diesel, "ordinary fuel" is more prone to producing deposits than premium fuel.
Ordinary diesel is a product of simple distillation of crude oil. Along with the selected long chain hydrocarbons (including cetane) that are captured come all sorts of other incidental compounds with a similar boiling point - these are the ingredients that create the deposits. Aside from the additive pack, the diesel superfuels like BP Ultimate and Shell V Power are predominantly GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels synthesised from LPG - smaller HC molecules like butane are joined together to make longer chain HCs like cetane. The resulting fuel has less of the deposit-forming compounds so regardless of cetane rating is far less able to produce smoke and contribute to dirty injectors. GTLs are a more ideal fuel for diesels and remove the need for or benefit of extra fuel additives or cleaners.
So I have been given to understand - not my specialist subject, I merely pass it on from a reliable, first hand, source who himself considered these fuels worth the extra.
I appreciate this is slightly off the point of whether supermarket fuel is inferior, but I hope it is interesting and underlines the point that not all fuel is exactly the same.
Ordinary diesel is a product of simple distillation of crude oil.

Gross GCSE chemistry style over simplification. There's a lot more to producing fuel than that.
the diesel superfuels like BP Ultimate and Shell V Power are predominantly GTL
the diesel superfuels like BP Ultimate and Shell V Power are predominantly GTL
A truely synthetic fuel would be eye wateringly expensive-think nitromethane or quality engine oil~£5/litre-before tax. Shell claim to use SOME GTL synthetic diesel-nowhere do they claim that Vmax is predominantly synthetic. I don't think BP claim to use GTL in their Ultimate diesel.
I shouldn't have used the word predominantly - I stand corrected.
I don't believe it's meaningfully inaccurate to say common fuel oil is produced by simple distillation, but perhaps you'd like to expand?
You're right about long, unbranched chains being desirable for compression ignition, and short branched chains being desirable for spark ignition.
Simple distillation would turn the barrel of crude into fractions of roughly the desired molecular weight-with a lot of waste. There are further processes: Cracking, unifiation (opposite of cracking) and Alkylation. Alkylation changes the structure of the molecules-which changes their chemical properties. This is important since trimethyl- pentane has the same molecular weight and empirical formula as n-octane but the branched structure has very different properties to the unbranched structure. Thus most of the original barrel of crude can be converted into useful fuels which could not be achieved via simple distillation. There are other processes to remove impurities like sulphur.
Interestingly, there is very little octane in petrol, and very little cetane in diesel. These species are simply used to arbitrarily define the autoignition properties of typical fuels.
After all, if making fuel was easy, we would all have distillation kits at home-and no one would buy taxed fuel!
In an earlier post you claimed to get less mpg from supermarket fuel compared to Shell and the other majors. This is also my experience. Over the last 12 months I have done an average 2000 miles each month, repeating the same journey of 412 miles each working week with very little mileage at the weekends. Driving on unleaded I am very conservative, low acceleration, reduced breaking, keeping the engine in my 2004 Mondeo below 3000rpm. Generally I use an Esso station but on the occasions I have filled up with supermarket fuel I have noticed an approximate 10% reduction in mpg. A more controlled scientific study would be welcome.
Edited by Meyer on 03/06/2012 at 13:20
I can't do the maths, my brain hurts. What is the balance, for you, between the extra fuel you use against the lower price you pay for it? All fuel meets the relevant British Standard but it is generally believed that the additives in the higher priced fuels made them worth the extra. Who knows?
Not even the fuel companies claim 10% extra economy.
There have been lots of studies carried out by organisations such as the US EPA, SAE and even Which?. Virtually all of them reach the same conclusion. There is no statistical difference in fuel economy between different grades of fuel-especially for petrol or older diesel engines.
Is it possible that you're subconsciously changing your driving style when you fill up with a different fuel? If you do long journeys you should be able to achieve very consistant results. Get a friend to fill 'er up for you and then do a blind test!
There is no statistical difference in fuel economy between different grades of fuel-especially for petrol or older diesel engines.
They should have asked me-when living in the UK and using a tankful of diesel a week I found it noticeable that fuel from my local Sainsburys gave about 5% -10% less mileage per tank than branded fuel so I tended to avoid using it. The cheaper price didn't compensate for the reduced fuel mileage.
During the time that I was driving to and from France prior to moving here I was running the tank low in the UK and filling up with cheaper diesel in France. Always got a dramatic jump in fuel economy as soon as running on french supermarket diesel. By dramatic I mean an increase from about 47 mpg indicated to mid fifties on the car's computer. It got so noticeable on our various trips over here that my wife could predict when the improved economy would kick in. Ok we all know that car computers are not that accurate, but as a comparison tool they are. And as soon as I returned to UK and started using uk fuel down went the fuel economy again.
I am of the opinion that the differences are due to the specific gravity of the fuel not additives, ie the more lighter fractions in the diesel the less dense it will be and the less energy per injected quantity, hence more has to be injected to achieve the same result etc etc.

This is quite correct-and always shows up in tests conducted with blended fuels containing methanol or ethanol. But there is limited leeway in changing the density whilst adhering to specified limits of aromatics, olefins and paraffins and physical properties like pour point, vapour pressure, flash point , T10 and T90 boiling points etc.

SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark. – Northwetern went into Siloam Springs up a game to John Brown in the conference standings, but after a comeback was cut short with the Rangers falling 60-58, Northwestern came out of Arkansas tied for third in the Sooner Athletic Conference. Both JBU an NWOSU have an 8-5 conference record and are a game out of second place Southern Nazarene and three games back of conference leader Oklahoma Baptist.
Northwestern was doubled up in the first half, being outscored 30-15 by John Brown. JBU used 65 percent shooting to do so and limited NWOSU to just 22 percent from the floor in the opening half, as the Golden Eagles used a 17-2 run before halftime.
After getting up by as many as 16 points with 16:48 to go, the Rangers closed the gap to six points at the 8:30 mark. NWOSU allowed JBU to go up by 11, but used a 14-6 run to trail by two after a three-pointer by Marshall Bell with 2:09 left to play.
The Golden Eagles sunk a pair of free throws, but NWOSU's Orren Tims answered with an old-fashioned three-point play to narrow the lead to one point.
Coleson Rakestraw sunk a three-pointer with seconds remaining to put a dagger in the Rangers and up the advantage to four points. Brandon Harris answered the call with six seconds remaining as he hit a big trey to pull the Rangers within one. After a Northwestern foul, JBU hit the first of two free throws, and a last second half court heave ended up short giving the Golden Eagles the two-point win.
Harris hit four of the seven Rangers' treys on his way to 14 points and six rebounds. Tims finished with 12 points and seven boards, while Marshall Bell had eight points.
Northwestern upped its average to 54 percent in the second half to shoot 37 percent on the night. The Rangers hit 5-of-9 three-pointers and were 12-of-14 from the free throw line.
JBU was guilty of 21 turnovers while shooting 53 percent. Rakestraw sunk six three-pointers and four free throws to lead the Golden Eagles with 22 points.
Northwestern (14-7, 8-5) will play six of its final nine games at home. The Rangers will host Rogers State on Saturday, Jan. 29 at 4 p.m. The annual Sports Hall of Fame Induction will take place at halftime of the men's game.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Water Levels Dropping at Folsom Lake, American River
The water levels are dropping by the day. Folsom Lake and American River could soon see five-year water level lows.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which operates Folsom Dam, says the lake's level could be at just a quarter of its capacity by the time we head into next year.
"We're looking at about 241,000 acre feet. Right now we're at 562," Spokesman Pete Lucero said.
That drop will have an effect on the American River -- flows could be a third of what they are now by October. And it's not just us -- it's statewide, Lucero said.
The reservoir levels are currently lower than normal, Lucero said. Most reservoirs are only 70 to 80 percent full across the state.
There's enough to get us through this year, but another dry winter could present some problems.
"Where we'll find the most concern, probably is in Folsom, because we are dropping pretty quickly," Lucero said.

Small Fruit Reviews. 3:45-56 Interpretive Summary: Lowbush blueberry growers need recommendations for managing irrigation water applications over an area of Southeastern Maine where climatic conditions vary depending on how close to the Atlantic coast the farm is situated. This study examined the amounts of water used by blueberry plants at several locations with varying distance from the coast. Water vapor from the ocean was seen to supply significant crop water at the coastal site, thus reducing the irrigation requirements there. Further inland, where the atmosphere was drier and hotter, and the irrigation requirements were also higher. This research should help improve water use efficiency of irrigated blueberry production.
Technical Abstract: Lowbush blueberry growers need recommendations for irrigation scheduling. This study was conducted to determine irrigation water use potential. Initial data were collected using weighing lysimeters to measure evapotranspiration and drainage covering a period from the end of April through early August, 2002. High rainfall and drainage rates near the end of April indicated a period of rapid leaching when chemical applications could be beneficially postponed. Nighttime increases in lysimeter weight were observed indicating that direct vapor deposition is a significant factor in the water balance. Results from this ongoing study will be used for scheduling irrigation water applications to improve water use and production efficiency.

Are there any blogs or tutorials that describe using Fakes in more depth in VS 2012 Ultimate?
I recently ran across this from Tech Ed.
May want to jump to 39 minutes to get the good stuff.
WTH? "Note: Fakes is available only in Utlimate edition." Don't you think you should change the title here, rather than rely on that little disclaimer?

hi .Pleas make up and finsh enginering that ...to have More Help also need ..thanking you friends ...
Title is VERY misleading since Fakes is only available in the Ultimate edition
@GaryBushey: Thanks for the feedback - the Title has been updated to avoid the confusion.
opening thread
I don't understand that why code coverage is analyzing unit test assemblies,
as you can see also in linked video.
I think it make sense to check coverage for production code but not for
the unit test assemblies,
Please tell us if this is a bug in VS2013 or some other reason.
I found about runsettings but switching from testsettings would
ignore testsettings' deployment (where i can specify test data
files and directories to deploy in addition to the target assemblies).
ExcludeFromCodeCoverage attribute would be nice for new projects
but what about projects migrating from VS2010
There are fakes in VS 2013 Premium.
Note that you need Update 2 or above and then to have Fakes in VS 2013 Premium.
can change file dll to source file plz help me

It's hard to put a price tag on all the GOOD stuff dogs do for us . . . like keeping us company, giving us a reason to go on walks, and protecting us by barking at EVERYTHING. But we can put a price on all the BAD stuff they do.
According to a new study, the average dog does $392 worth of damage to stuff around the house every year. Making them the MOST destructive pet you can own . . . unless you've got a water buffalo in your apartment or something.
The second most destructive pet is a cat, but they didn't give a dollar figure. And the pet that causes the LEAST amount of destruction is a guinea pig. Although a fish has to be right up there too.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The adjective Tridentine refers to any thing or person pertaining to the city of Trent, Italy (Latin: Tridentum).
|Look up Tridentine in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
It is applied in particular to:
- The Council of Trent, one of the ecumenical councils recognized by the Roman Catholic Church, held in that city in the 16th century, and to the teachings emphasized by it and the related legislation issued by the Popes of the time, especially Pope Pius V
- The Tridentine Mass, which supplanted the various versions of the Pre-Tridentine Mass and in turn, with the introduction of the Mass of Paul VI ceased to be the ordinary form of the Roman Rite but some versions of which continue to be used as extraordinary forms of the Roman Rite, with official approval in the case of the 1962 version.
- The Traditionalist Catholic movement and its members, who have adhered to the 1962 or earlier editions of the Roman Missal.
- The Tridentine Reformation.

just bought a a sony vw10ht lcd projector. want a 103" fixed screen. will be watching dvd and hdtv in few months. the room is very dark when the lights r out and movie plays. u probably couldnt see your hand in the dark! projector is mounted inside a custom made table at floor level. i just dont understand the gain issue when it comes to screen. can anyone help with a manufacturer or model maybe some possible street prices. im going nuts and want ot use my room but need to clear this bump first. just want the best possible picture from this unit.
forgot to mention i would like to use a 16x9 screen to take advantage of the units capabilities.
Any flat white wall does an excellent job in a "perfect" dark room.
Anyway, it's a good and cheap start point to see what you projector can do and check what it is its worse weakness: black rendition.
If you want a "true" screen and you're happy with the blacks on the white wall, get a screen based on the Da-Lite Da-Mat fabric.
If you're not happy with blacks, get Stewart Grayhawk fabric.
To appreciate my judgment, you should know I own the VPL-VW10HT and the Grayhawk, but never saw the Da-Mat. I did some paintings test which never obtained good results with ambient light, not your case. On dark room, differences between white wall and Grayhawk is not obvious, except that on Grayhawk the picture is globally dimmed (thus helping the black issue).
Another very popular screen with the 10ht was the Da-lite Hi-Power material.
This was popularized by Bill Cushman (writes for Widescreen review, formerly The Perfect Vision) as an excellent screen candidate.
It's great to have all this great gear. But I'd instead put all that money into software (Movies) I'd have SOMETHING TO WATCH ON ALL THIS GREAT GEAR. Doh!
