text: Also during the quarter, we resolved the FERC investigation that arose in 2007 in our non-regulated segment. Under the terms of that agreement, we paid about $12 million plus accrued interest. We cooperated with the FERC throughout the process, and had adequate reserves for the resolution.Yesterday, our Board of Directors declared the 113th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. The indicated annual dividend rate for fiscal '12 is $1.38. Our CFO, Fred Meisenheimer, will review our financial results in greater details now, and I'll return for closing comments and we'll open up the call for questions. Fred? Fred Meisenheimer Thanks, Kim, good morning, everyone. As a reminder, because of the agreement to sell our distribution assets in Missouri, Illinois and Iowa, we combine and report financial results for those assets on the income statement as discontinued operations. Therefore, the corresponding detail by line item will be excluded from my prepared discussions. Rate relief remains the primary driver of our success in the regulated operations. Rate increases for distribution Atmos' pipeline Texas combined, generated almost $13 million of incremental margin quarter-over-quarter with about $5 million for distribution, and $8 million for APT. Specifically, distribution margins were negatively impacted by utilizing required updated weather data to calculate the weather normalization adjustment in the Mid-Tex division, which we expect to substantially flip around by the end of the heating season. Regulated Transmission and Storage, we refer to as APT, benefited from the rate case that became effective last May. Also, during the current quarter, APT's consolidated throughput rose 5% due to increase through system demand and the execution of new delivery contracts with local producers. Turning now to our non-regulated operations, and you may want to turn to slide number 7. The on-going and on-favorable market cash conditions continue to pressure this segment. We anticipate natural gas storage levels will remain high for an extended period of time, and for unseasonably warm weather to continue during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

The Holy Trinity Gone Gutter
Is it a grilled cheese sandwich, or is it art? Sneak preview from P(ART)Y headquarters
Jacob Katel
I've known local artist Ahol for about four years, since I graduated from college and made it from Tucson to Miami by playing guitar for gas money and sleeping in a broken-windowed Corolla at hijacked KOA campsites. Ahol was heavy on his street-art grind, but has since leveraged his powers of self promotion into the successful and growing Shake Thursdays at The Vagabond as part of the "Que Pasa MIA" crew.
Why? "Cause that's my favorite food.We'll probably uses the cheapest bread, and yellow cheese, but if we're feeling fancy, different kinds."" Ahol says and adds "Hopefully it makes it better, more fun, more along the styles of everything that I do. I won a contest to redesign the Colt45 can, so they're hooking it up, they're sending a lot of beer. I gotta try and stay away from it so I can make it through the whole night."

Tom's dislike of Dickie's inherited wealth
At the start of the film, Tom voices his annoyance at Dickie's exuberant lifestyle, in particular, the fact that he lives a life of luxury without having to work for it. At first Tom's dislike of Dickie's inherited wealth appears justified, as Tom has to work extremely hard in degrading occupations in order to get by, whereas Dickie uses his family's money to travel the world. However, as the film progresses, Tom's opinion is ironic and hypocritical. This is because Tom becomes very happy to use and waste Dickie's family money, the very same action he reprimands Dickie for. This irony illustrates a social class division in 1950s America, as well as the suggestion that a wealthy person immediately forgets or ignores the plight of the less wealthy.
Tom's treatment of Dickie
Tom appears to be infatuated with Dickie, as he admires his dress sense, mirrors his movements and claims "You're the brother I never had. I'm the brother you never had. I would do anything for you, Dickie." As the two develop a close relationship, it is ironic that Tom kills Dickie for no apparent reason. This illustrates the running theme of violence and irrationality throughout the film, and provides great insight into Tom's tortured mindset. The act of murder also causes the viewer to question the truth of Tom's words, as we start to doubt whether he truly viewed Dickie as a brother.
Dramatic irony regarding the murders
The film revolves around dramatic irony, a literary device where the viewer is aware of events and actions that the film's characters are unaware of. In 'The Talented Mr Ripley' we are aware that Tom is the murderer, as we clearly see him kill Dickie during their sailing trip. In this way, the film is not a typical murder mystery where the viewer puts together clues to find the murderer. As we are in the know, an appealing feature of the film is that the audience is able to watch the characters confusedly and incorrectly trying to search for Dickie's murderer. This leads to many ironic moments, as individuals such as Freddie Miles, Marge Sherwood and Herbert Greenleaf constantly place misguided confidence in Tom, as they wholeheartedly believe him to be innocent.
Marge's trust in Dickie
From the very start of the film, Marge has great trust and confidence in Tom and develops a close friendship with him. After Dickie's murder, Marge turns to Tom for comfort and support. This is ironic, as it is Tom who killed her fiance. Marge is unaware of this and confides in Tom, accidently asking questions that threaten to reveal him as the true murderer. These ironic moments also place Marge in great danger, as Tom considers killing her before she puts the clues together, but ultimately decides against it.
The anti-heroic nature of the protagonist
The characterisation of Tom Ripley usurps the idea of a noble, heroic protagonist. Unlike typical protagonists, Tom has a warped moral compass and is oblivious to his numerous faults. This is ironic and gives the film its unique appeal - although we see the events unfold through the persona's eyes and follow his character developments over many years, we ironically know very little about the real Tom Ripley. This ambiguity is foreshadowed when Tom reveals that his skills are forgery and impersonations in the opening piano scene. It is this portrayal of the equally remorseless and guilt-driven titular character that strongly contributes to the film's appeal.

We are still finding locations to park and serve, so keep tuned to twitter and we will try to update our whereabouts as soon as we know. It is tricky because we need to find spots where we can sit for a couple hours so we can be found. We are going to be parked at "Sportscar Workshops" 1209 North Boulevard at the intersection of W. Leigh (next to the entrance of Movieland) on Tuesday night, and will continue to fill our schedule as we get more hooks. During the day we are running around town to different areas of Henrico, Chesterfield and Richmond to find the lunch business. As we build a route, we also want to know where you want us to come. Throw us a line. PS, all of you that have given us shout outs on locations will get your requests fulfilled when we come through your part of town.

Difference between sax parser and dom parser ?
difference between ios parser
3 Answers
n SAX, events are triggered when the XML is being parsed. When the parser is parsing the XML, and encounters a tag starting (e.g. ), then it triggers the tagStarted event (actual name of event might differ). Similarly when the end of the tag is met while parsing (), it triggers tagEnded. Using a SAX parser implies you need to handle these events and make sense of the data returned with each event. In DOM, there are no events triggered while parsing. The entire XML is parsed and a DOM tree (of the nodes in the XML) is generated and returned. Once parsed, the user can navigate the tree to access the various data previously embedded in the various nodes in the XML. In general, DOM is easier to use but has an overhead of parsing the entire XML before you can start using it. And you can use libxml as SAX as well as DOM also.
SAX "simple api for xml" 1.parses node by node. 2.can't and a node. 3.doesn't store the XML document in the memory. DOM"document object model" 1.store the entire xml document in the memory. 2.we can and a node 3.occupies more memory
Sax means "simple api for xml " 1.parsing node by node. 2.we can't and a node. 3.doesn't store the XML in memory. DOM "Docment object model" 1.store the entire XML document in the memory. 2.occupies more memory. 3.we can and node.

Weekly Address: America is Leading the World, In this week's address, the President reiterated the forceful and optimistic message of American leadership that he delivered in his speech before the United Nations General Assembly earlier this week. America is leading the world against the most pressing challenges, including the fight to degrade and destroy ISIL, the effort to stop the Ebola epidemic, and the movement to confront the threat from climate change.
The world looks to America and its commitment to freedom in the face of uncertainty, and as the President said, it will continue to do so for generations to come.

Thoughts to Get Through a Crisis #3
Contemplate these!
If you look like your passport picture, you definitely need the trip.
Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.
Never give yourself a haircut after 3 martinis, or 3 margaritas, or 3 shots of tequila.
When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, your body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "Woo hoo! What a ride!"
The trouble with life is you're halfway through it before you realize it's a "do it yourself" thing.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, and it's true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
It takes only a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything that comes along their way.

There's a short way and a long way of doing things.
When City Councilman Ed Childers recently referred the issue of Ward 2 councilwoman Anne Kazmierczak's residency to the Committee of the Whole for consideration—he's concerned she may have moved to a house in Ward 3—the bureaucratic wheels began to churn. Slowly.
So the Independent decided to take a shortcut and knocked on Kazmierczak's Ward 2 door in the middle of a stormy Monday. When the door opened, two dogs, two kids and one Council member came pouring out. Informed as to why we had stopped by—to inquire where she did, in fact, reside— Kazmierczak threw up her arms with a great big smile and declared, "Here I am!"
Meanwhile, the official Council process of looking into Kazmierczak's residency hasn't yet begun. Council President Jack Reidy said Tuesday he'd ask City Attorney Jim Nugent to issue an opinion about residency requirements for Council members. Then the Council will likely take the matter up, though not until mid-July, in an investigative hearing.
Childers' concerns are all well and good on their face: The phone number that's listed for Kazmierczak on several Council contact lists is in the current phone book attached to a Ward 3 address, a house she and her husband bought last summer. State residency rules for Council members mandate that representatives live in their wards, and they can have only one residence.
But Kazmierczak says she and her husband are split up—she lives in Ward 2, he lives in Ward 3, and the kids commute. She bristles at the invasion into her family life, while Childers insists he's just trying to figure out whether everyone's following the rules. Both sides hint that politics are involved one way or another.
Kazmierczak wishes the questions had been presented to her directly before the official process was set in motion. And she said as much in a fervent e-mail exchange with Childers and others: "I suggest if you want to know something about me, or anyone else, you go to the source. As Big Bird rightly says, 'Asking questions is a great way to find out things.'"

Telltale Games have their sights set on a new property, bringing a digital version of Batman to the interactive screen.
That's incredible exciting and the first details have been revealed during a panel at SXSW. Firstly you'll get to play as both Batman and Bruce Wayne in this new title, and a good amount of time will be spent on the non-superhero version of the character. In keeping with the Telltale Games model, your actions will have a ripple effect on events to come, and in some cases something you do during the day as Bruce might change how things unfold for Batman later that night, or vice versa.
In addition, Telltale has said that you'll sometimes have to choose between playing as Bats or Bruce, which should make for a huge difference in specific scenes. The graphics will be a stylised take on the art of the last 75 years in the Bat-verse, with an enhanced engine, let's hope it runs a little faster these days.
Expect an M-rating - so we're guessing violence and harsh themes but probably no bad language - and plenty of familiar faces like Alfred, Vicki Vale and Jim Gordon. And we don't yet know anything about the villains but you can be sure someone iconic will be chosen for this first season.
The first of five episodes in the Batman series is expected to arrive before the end of summer 2016.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: car struggles to accelerate; most noticeable when entering fwy or climbing hills on 2007 Nissan Murano
Car has 58.5k miles. Before I took it to the dealership, I ran two tanks through with Techron Concentrate. Car doesn't show any diagnostic codes although dealership recently replaced thottle because they suspected that it was the problem. That didn't help. They also suggested that I clean injectors, and do an engine decarb. I cleaned the injectors and found SOME improvement. I don't want to continue down this path if it will not fix the problem. Do you recommend a decarb? What else could be causing the hesitation.
Didn't find what you were looking for?

I'm a marketing and sales consultant that works with frontier technologies in textiles and how they are applied to new business strategies. The context for this work is open innovation.
Open innovation is an approach to marketing and sales that capitalizes upon intermediaries, like me, who bridge cultural and cognitive differences, translate forms of knowledge and locate new markets for cutting-edge technologies.
I offer my services as a connector of people, products, and methods. I help to locate and implement opportunities within emergent technologies in textiles as they relate to developing initiatives, products, and processes.
My focus is on scanning, gathering and communicating information as well as linking people together and brokering relationships.
As an innovation intermediary, I enable companies to capitalize on opportunities in emergent markets and within changing circumstances. In this way, companies are able to work better, smarter, more efficiently and more competitively.
Through my work, I bring fresh ideas and creative approaches, and I locate new customers to use new technologies, services and/or products. I help teams to view their business from a different perspective and as a result, see the bigger picture.
Also, through a fresh analysis and assessment of previous strategic positions and current opportunities, I scan the landscapes of innovation - across disciplinary boundaries - and connect companies with who and what I find.
Together with a team of talented freelancers and textile industry specialists, I design, develop, implement and evaluate frontier solutions that help companies become more competitive.
My goal is to capitalize on new opportunities through a fresh and innovative perspective in textile manufacturing contexts.
Dennis Stevens, Ed.D.President

Duroc (Prince Duroc) is a non-canon character that appears as Prince Goro's older brother in the Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins.
The two fought in the bottomless pit for a rare, jeweled egg with which they would pay tribute to their father, King Gorbak. The battle ended with Goro hanging off a cliff. Duroc helped his brother back up, but was betrayed by him and knocked off of the cliff himself. Goro took the egg to pay tribute to their father and became the new and only Shokan Prince from that day forward.

Travelling on busiiness my wife searched for where she wanted to stay and picked the La Jolla B&B Inn. From the beginning everything was smooth, relaxing, and comfortable. The room that we had reserved was being worked on and we were upgraded to one with fireplace, fridge, and roomy bath. Margaret and her team not only serve a great breakfast, but the wine and cheese in the late afternoon, followed by the nocturnal visit to the cookie jar make you feel as if you haven't left home. We stayed in La Fiesta which was a great accomodation. Based upon our experience you will not be disappointed in staying here in what is a beautiful part of San Diego in an elegant and friendly atmosphere.In the immortal words of General McArthur, "WE will return!"

Company culture
Really cliquey. To the point where the "pet" groups are allowed to ignore the dress code, get invited by the higher-ups to take a free day off to go see movies, and mysteriously always have vacation time.
Support from Management
Management really doesn't care very much. They're nice and appreciative during the hiring process, and then they couldn't care less after you start working. My supervisor is a rare example, but, unfortunately, the vice president of the department insists on undermining him constantly.

Hang Ups
Children, in particular, never tire of seeing the same thing. They'll save up precious pocket money to buy the video of a movie they've already watched in the cinema, or spend Saturday mornings suffering the banalities of children's television in the half-hope that their favourite pop video will be played for the umpteenth time.
Wily teachers, wishing to capitalise on this appetite for repetition, should consider videoing their lessons. There's no need to emulate the big budget spectaculars of Michael Jackson; all it takes is a tripod and a camera. Pupils "live" performance, might well be prepared to run and re-run the video until the "cognitive penny drops".
I borrowed that phrase from Differentiation: Taking IT Forward, the latest publication from the National Council for Educational Technology (NCET). As well as the ingenious idea of videoing lessons, its 40 colourful pages illustrate many other ways in which new technology can help the busy teacher perform that fiendishly difficult trick of catering for the varying levels of ability within a class. Desktop publishing, for instance, makes it relatively easy to produce several permutations of the same worksheet. It needn't involve more than replacing difficult vocabulary with simpler words, or adding a few helpful graphics to make it a bit easier to decipher the text.
But, as the authors explain, computers really prove their worth when pupils use them for themselves. The booklet is packed with examples of how multimedia presentations can be far more memorable than chalk and talk, and how computer simulations can help pupils to grasp difficult concepts in a way that no amount of earnest explanation ever could. Above all, the computer offers pupils golden opportunities to learn from their mistakes. Once they've mastered the Delete key or a program's Undo function, they know they're free to perpetrate the most elementary howlers without being machine-gunned by a teacher's tut-tuts.
Old computing hands will inevitably feel a touch of deja vu as they read a booklet which repeats (albeit very stylishly) the arguments that IT enthusiasts have been propounding since the first BBCs were sneaked into schools. Is there any point, then, in going over the same old ground in yet another glossy publication?
Apparently there is. Sir Ron Dearing, Ofsted inspectors, employers, parents and, of course, pupils might be convinced by the case for IT but, according to NCET, only 56 per cent of primary school teachers and 34 per cent of those in secondary school make regular use of computers in their classrooms. In a concerted effort to persuade the rest that they are missing out, NCET is not only churning out literature, but has also produced a series of nine television programmes on topics such as using IT for Special Needs and for Individualised Learning. Each programme will be broadcast on the first Wednesday of every month, and then repeated on the three subsequent Wednesdays but at the ludicrous time of 4.00am.
Of course, it's the IT enthusiasts in schools who will go to the bother of recording them, in the hope that their reluctant colleagues will replay them often enough for the cognitive penny to drop.

A hogtwanger is an instrument played exclusively by hedgehogs. It is most notably played by Furlo Stump and Jubilation Stump. To play a hogtwanger, the hedgehog must place it on his head and use his/her headspikes to pluck the strings. It appears to be very similar to the Hogalino, played the same way.
The hogtwanger appears in Pearls of Lutra.

A FTE is calculated by adding all part-time employees' hours (employees working less than 30 hours a week) and dividing by 30 and adding all of your full-time employees to your number. Here is an example:
Employer A has the following employee make-up:
- 50 employees working at least 30 hours per week (50 FTEs)
- 10 employees working 20 hours per week (10 x 20/30 = 6.67 FTEs)
- 40 employees working 15 hours per week (40 x 15/30 = 20 FTEs)
This employer would be deemed to have 76 (50 + 6.67 + 20) FTEs
For 2015, there would not be any large employer penalty issues. However beginning in 2016, Employer A could be subject to a non-deductible penalty up to $40,000 annually.
There are many considerations in determining whether or not employers should offer coverage, whether hourly employees are full-time or part-time and the kind of coverage(s) to offer.
In order to assist employers, Bourgeois Bennett, LLC is hosting a complimentary seminar Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2014 from 9-11 a.m. To RSVP, call Becky Kearns at (504) 831-4949.
If you have questions, call Stephen Blitz at Bourgeois Bennett's New Orleans office.

World's First 3 Parent Baby Was Born Healthy, New Trend?
The technique could be used for anything – from avoiding disease to altering a baby's appearance.
For now, disease is the focus.
The world's first 'three-parent' baby was created to prevent him inheriting a genetic condition his mother carries in her mitochondria.
The disease – Leigh's syndrome – would have killed him within a few years.
1. Take eggs from a mother with damaged mitochondria.
2. Take eggs from a donor with healthy mitochondria.
3. Remove and save the nucleus from the mother's egg. This contains the majority of her genetic material.
4. Remove and discard the donor's nucleus.
5. Place the mother's nucleus in the donor's egg with the healthy mitochondria.
6. The egg can then be fertilized by the father's sperm.
3 Parent Baby Created In Mexico To Avoid Breaking Laws
Dr Zhang told the New Scientist that, as the technique has not been approved in the US, the team went to Mexico where "there are no rules".
"To save lives is the ethical thing to do," he added.
Two women, one man and a baby
A Jordanian couple has been trying to start a family for almost 20 years. Ten years after they married, she became pregnant, but it ended in the first of four miscarriages.
In 2005, the couple gave birth to a baby girl. It was then that they discovered the probable cause of their fertility problems: a genetic mutation in the mother's mitochondria. Their daughter was born with Leigh syndrome, which affects the brain, muscles and nerves of developing infants. Sadly, she died aged six. The couple's second child had the same disorder, and lived for 8 months.
Using a controversial "three-parent baby" technique (see main story), the boy was born on 6 April 2016. He is showing no signs of disease.
The world's first child created using a controversial "three-parent" baby technique has been born in Mexico, it has been announced.
Limited details about the birth were revealed ahead of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine's scientific congress in Salt Lake City next month, where it will be discussed more fully.
According to critics, the procedure is tantamount to genetic modification of humans or even "playing God". But supporters say it allows women with a particular type of genetic disease to have healthy children who are related to them.
A report in the New Scientist magazine said the baby was now five months told. His parents are Jordanians and the work was carried out by a team of experts from the US.
The child's mother has Leigh syndrome, a fatal disorder that affects the developing nervous system and would have been passed on in her mitochondrial DNA.
Although she is healthy, two of her children have died as a result of inheriting the disease: a girl who lived until she was six and an eight-month-old baby.
There are different ways of creating a so-called three-parent baby.
The technique used by Dr John Zhang, of the New Hope Fertility Clinic in New York, and his team involved taking the nucleus from one of the mother's eggs – containing her DNA – and implanting it into a donor egg that had its nucleus removed but retained the donor's healthy mitochondrial DNA.

We are proud to announce that the Original SLOW RIDE will continue to be the only SLOW RIDE sold in Texas. The lawsuit(s) are officially behind us – First to Brew and First to Use – We preserved our exclusive rights to the great state of Texas. This has been a long road. We are anxious to share the…

MEN'S JOURNAL – BEST NEW IPAs
The Best New IPAs The American IPA is the number-one craft style and accounts for about a quarter of all craft beer sold. You'll be hard pressed to find a new brewery that doesn't have a take on the hoppy style, and now we're even seeing stalwarts of the craft world retooling classic IPAs to…
Sadly, New Belgium has yet to make a settlement offer despite their claims… They sued us again. We were hoping they would spend their time and intellectual effort crafting an actual offer rather than trying to damage a Texas-owned and operated micro-brewery. They lost once already. We expect to win again. Thanks for your continued support. We will keep you posted…
UPDATE: Slow Ride court case
We are pleased to announce that our lawsuit with New Belgium Brewing is finally behind us. The judge dismissed it and agreed that the jurisdiction of Colorado was not appropriate. New Belgium claimed that our attendance at GABF satisfied "minimum contact" which was absurd and very costly to defend. Rest assured small brewers of America, you CAN participate in the Great American Beer Fest without falling under the long arm of Colorado law or violating the laws of interstate commerce created by your respective State's beer distribution governance. NBB continues to say that we do not want to settle. This remains untrue. We have made multiple offers, even traveled to meet with them in Denver; however they won't send anyone with the authority to make a settlement decision and reject all of our offers.
We are overwhelmed w/ the outpouring of support from our fans and appreciate all the letters, tweets and emails. We will be steadfast in defending our rights to our beers and continue to brew and distribute (the original) SLOW RIDE. To all the small craft breweries across the land , keep brewing great beer and keep fighting the good fight – you'll always have a seat at our table! Best, OTXBC

Quick & Dirty MAME'd Marble Madness Video
Category: MAME'd Marble Madness :: Cabinet News & Updates
I'm in the process of putting together a full write-up and photo gallery of my latest MAME'd arcade. This one is based on a classic Marble Madness Atari System 1 cabinet. I have the original Marble Madness, Road Runner and Peter Packrat boards and control panels for this system in full working order and have enjoyed them off and on for several years. Since the System 1 was designed by Atari to be highly modular and convertable, it was an especially appropriate candidate for "conversion" to MAME.
NOTE: I worked with the same goal in mind on this project as I did with my MAME'd Millipede: extend the functionality of the cabinet without making permanent modifications. Both of my MAME'd classics are designed in such a way that I mate the new control panel with the existing framework. The CP can easily be removed and the original control panel returned to restore either to its classic form. So, for those of you initially horrified by a modified classic arcade: your worries are misplaced. ;)
On a whim tonight I decided to do a quick and dirty video of the machine in action to give people an idea of how it works. The lighting is lousy, I have no means of syncing the arcade monitor with the video camera (resulting in the usual image roll on the monitor), and the sound isn't going to win any awards. It was an experiment, though, and I've already got some ideas of how I'll do a video that won't suck later. Stay tuned for that...
Having stated my disclaimer regarding the video's general crapiness, feel free to download it. It's formatted for Quicktime using the H.264 codec and also plays fine on my Mac using VLC as well as on my Linux workstation with MPlayer.
You'll see the control panel, title selection via the main menu (with game previews), the working quarter and token slots, one of the two LED backlit trackballs, and a little gameplay on Marble Madness, Joust, and Discs of Tron which uses the push/pull spinner and my DIY flightstick.
Enjoy... better stuff on the way soon.

Optex Excellence Periscope Probe Boroscope - aka 'Abekus'
Optex spent 5 years developing the "world's first modular periscope/probe system for HD and film." Built using telecentric optics (ideal for digital sensors), it is a multi-format lens system which can be configured for 2/3" HD, SD video or film. The main parts are: the periscope module which can be used at 90 degrees or extended straight in probe fashion; the main relay consisting of 0.8 Modulus gears for flawless integration with existing film accessories and Motion Control Rigs; and finally the Format Module for film or HD. The system includes four super-compact dedicated lenses offering 120°(10mm), 100°(14mm), 78°(20mm) and 60°(28mm) angles of view.
The entire system is color matched so whether it is used as a periscope or probe, and whichever lens is used, color remains constant. Hence, one can mix HD and film and retain the same depth-of-field at comparable apertures.
The system gives such high image quality you will think you are using a prime lens and as periscopes go, the Excellence is relatively fast having a minimum T stop of 5.6. There are no focus marks on the barrel, one eye focuses the lens, which is simple enough as the image is incredibly sharp.
As Phil Savoie of the BBC Natural History Unit says -
"The Optex scope is different from other periscopes and boroscope and an interesting one indeed.
Tony Scott the optical engineer who designed it spent five years to get it right, where as most scopes are hybrids from many bits the Optex Excellence is purpose built. It has its own lenses that are smaller than normal primes and very good optically; a 10, 14, 20, 28. They have no iris for stopping down; this is done with the body of the scope. The stop is also a function of the format; 2.8 for Super16, 5.6 for 35 & HD. Wide open it can render 150 line pairs on axis and 80ish edge to edge - the same sort of performance one would expect from primes. One stop in the edges are noticeable better, after that diffraction quickly takes over and the image starts to fall off. It was designed for shooting wide open or a stop in.
The feedback on the Excellence has been all very positive. More that one DP has mentioned it will cut with primes. The 90 degree prism may come in handy for your shoot to keep shadows out of frame."

New York (AFP) Nov 8, 2011
Yahoo!, Microsoft and AOL unveiled a joint advertising agreement on Tuesday designed to take on Internet giant Google.
The deal will allow the ad networks operated by the three companies to offer some of their display advertising inventory to their respective customers.
"The partnership should enhance the demand for and value of each party's display advertising offerings as well as provide better yield for both participating publishers and advertisers," the companies said in a statement.
Google has been taking an increasing share of the lucrative and growing display advertising market, according to research firm eMarketer, and Yahoo!, Microsoft and AOL have all lost share.
Google makes most of its money from advertising tied to Internet search but has been gaining a larger share of the revenue from online display advertising, which includes rich media, digital video and banner ads.
Yahoo!, Microsoft and AOL said their agreement "should dramatically improve the process of buying and selling premium online display inventory."
"This should reduce friction in the marketplace, which will benefit both advertisers and publishers," said Ned Brody, AOL's chief revenue officer.
Ross Levinsohn, Yahoo!'s executive vice president for the Americas, said the partnership will lead to "a more efficient, effective and more effortless way to access true premium inventory."
According to eMarketer, Yahoo!'s share of the US display ad market is expected to fall to 13.1 percent this year from 14.4 percent last year while Microsoft's share will decline to 4.9 percent from 5.1 percent.
AOL's share is expected to fall to 4.2 percent this year from 4.8 percent in 2010, it said.
Google's share of overall US display ad revenue will grow to 9.3 percent this year from 8.6 percent last year, eMarketer said.
Facebook, meanwhile, will see its share of US online display ad revenue grow to 17.7 percent this year from 12.2 percent last year, according to eMarketer.

Getting data from an inspection performed in the field into the hands of the people who need it has historically been an exercise in frustration and coordination. Data, physical forms, photos, GPS coordinates, signoffs, and other information has to be integrated into a manageable form, entered into a system of record, and then distributed to all stakeholders. The process is slow and the results are prone to errors.
Information collected for safety, compliance, or operations has to be accurate, complete, and delivered in a timely manner. With all the technical advances in software, the inspection business has attempted to address these requirements by developing mobile apps that are transforming the industry. Simpler, faster, and more accurate, an inspection app for an iPad or Android tablet, such as Spotter by Envoc, is the new solution for moving away from paper forms.
A good mobile inspection app stores all inspection data, photos, sound, GPS, eSignatures, and videos in one file for each completed inspection. For Spotter users, this data is stored in a secure servers and is accessible to users from anywhere through the web. Inspections can be shared and passed amongst personnel in the field in disparate locations and Project managers and supervisors have instant access to each inspection for filtering, analysis, and reports.
With a mobile inspection app, lost forms and missing data are a thing of the past. Because data no longer has to be transferred manually from paper into a digital form, the chance of error in translation is non-existent. Additionally, because of the use of uniquely created consistent forms with required fields and multiple choice lists accuracy is greatly increased. Nicely designed apps like Spotter also offer the option of editing details after the fact to make sure the data is as clear as possible before presenting it to the end client.
The standard process for completing an inspection with pen and paper can take 4-8 hours. However, an inspection app can really speed things up. The users of Spotter have reported a reduction in inspection time by as much as 50-80%.
There are a couple of reasons why apps are so much faster. To begin, by removing the need to carry papers, pens, a camera, clipboard, forms, tripod, and other types of recording devices, there's a lot time saved from juggling, switching, and managing the physical actions and objects. The time savings really start to rack up when users no longer have to manually key that information into another system, then try to link all of the photos and information together. The outcome is a much faster completed and delivered inspection.
All of this increased processing speed has a direct impact to the bottom line by reducing cost and improving profit margins.
Using a dashboard, important data can be viewed in real time, providing an in-depth look at the of your inspection data the moment the inspector has submitted it. This at-a-glance view into what is happening in the field is part of what makes these apps so powerful. They are an extremely effective data communication channel between the home base and the field. With its ability to flag answers and send text/email notifications, the Spotter app can even immediately notify managers and supervisors of critical situations in the field to help ensure a safer workplace.
Inspection apps give users the ability to save current inspection templates based on organisational and legal requirements, but allow for easy introduction of new guidelines and standards as requirements change. Those changes are automatically pushed to inspectors. Because of its ability to instantly sync data, the Spotter app provides instant confirmations on processes, resources and other relevant parameters. Many inspection apps can also allow for customised reports and forms to meet your company's individual needs.
As more and more companies are realising the benefits of inspection apps, they're becoming the new standard across the industry for remote data collection needs. However, it's important to remember that not all inspection apps have the same high performance capability as others. Finding the right app is just as important as making the switch to a digital format.

We looked like we might have some trouble actually getting into the building, as when we arrived at 12.30pm folks were already being redirected to the overflow parking lots surrounding Exhibition Place. All the main lots were full, which made me a little concerned for the state of the show and how jam-packed it was going to be. We wound up parking over at Ontario Place instead and walking the half block to the Direct Energy Centre, which was totally worth it: parking onsite was $15. Parking at Ontario Place? Just $5!! We saved ten bones just by being a little late for show-opening. Sweet.
Once admitted to the show, we stopped immediately to pick up a program and to review the floor map. To say we were a little intimidated is an understatement: the show is huge!!
|Like I said: HUGE. I wouldn't lie to you.
We decided to tackle the "Home" part of the program first, followed by the "Blooms" but honestly it wound up being a mishmash of a day, partly because we had no specific outcome in mind or anything that required "doing" but also because it was hot as Hades in the Home section and so cool and lovely in the Blooms that we were wooed by the atmosphere. It ended up being fairly evenly split overall: we started at the far end (farthest right on the pink side) and spent a couple of hours in the fray, then slipped over to the yellow side for lunch and a casual stroll around all the garden-related booths and features, and then threw ourselves back into the Home section for the final hour or so. Overall, a fantastic day, but I know you didn't check in today to hear about hubs and I holding hands and being all romantic and kind of gross while swooning over tulips and ground cover and kitchen islands. I get it. So here it comes!
We came across a few vendors that I knew already, and loved. Remember these guys from the Christmas Craft Show?
Even more adorable than I remembered. Reiner's Originals is out in full force at the home show, with a spectacular deal on their amazing ottomans. If you're in the market for one of these unique leather footstools and you can make the trip out to the show, NOW is the time to buy. Check them out at booth #3706 ~ seriously. You won't regret it.
Another booth that struck my fancy was Alta Moda. Much of their furniture (at least on the showroom floor) was very straight-laced and contemporary, which is not usually a style I'm drawn to. But these three pieces in particular had me swooning:
|So sleek and sexy, in a buttoned-up kind of way. Veeeery touchable upholstery, also.
|To the left, an over-scale chair that had a very "Alice in Wonderland" feel from the dimensions to the fabric.
To the right, the MOST COMFORTABLE leather chair I've ever sat in. I could have stayed there all day.
A little booth at the back caught my attention with a whole lotta sparkle and shine: I'm a sucker for crystal lighting and the Home Ideas booth was nothing but! Also spotted was a wall-mounted aquarium which might feel a little too early-noughties for a main living area, but which I think would be perfect in a kid's room, especially if real estate is at a premium and you don't want to sacrifice desk or dresser space to a traditional tank.
Also for kid's rooms was the amazing Beetling Design, who had traveled to the show from Coquitlam, BC! Specializing in 3D murals, these fun and fanciful art pieces are delicately crafted, beautifully designed but durable enough to live with kids. If you're looking to make a splash in any child's room, a piece by Beetling should be on your list of must-haves.
At Palmyra Design, both Daryn and I were amazed by the stunningly gorgeous Moroccan and Turkish lighting, which is sourced individually by Fran Devlin, the shop's owner (who, by the way, absolutely made my day by saying when I handed her my blogger business card, Oh, I know this blog! I've read it before... Thank you, Fran! You put a permanent smile on my face for the rest of the day).
Gorgeous, no? Visit her at booth E334 and check out her beautiful pieces. Had hubby and I any money to actually to spend at the show, you could bet we would have spent it here. Specifically on these.
Other moments of spectacularity (is that a word? it is now) and general awesomeness around the show were spotted here:
|This is tile, people. TILE. Someone did this with their own two hands.
Orro Mosaic
|A ceiling of papered lanterns at the Taipei, Taiwan Featured International City Garden exhibit
|The foliage got a little bossy, but its wisdom was undeniable
|Conservationists need not apply. A rain shower head nearly 2 FEET in diameter
|A climbing ivy privacy screen (or "Green Screen") that hubs is lusting after for the backyard
Mori Nurseries
|Kitchens were the name of the game for me at the show, and these two were absolute stunners. Don't let my crappy photography fool you: both were absolutely gorgeous. The one on the right would be perfect in our little bungalow.

|Robert Webster Company, designed by Natalie Rebelo
My favourite of all, however, was a kitchen installation at The Kitchen & Bath Studio through the Robert Webster Company {above} that had me at Hello. Designed by Natalie Rebelo, it featured not only a gorgeous kitchen (which I stupidly forgot to take a photo of because I was too busy ogling everything else!) but also a dead~sexy leather tile floor and the most amazing barn door table I've ever seen.
From a practical perspective the leather floors are dead-on: easy to care for and maintain, soft underfoot, good-looking as all get out and best of all, no need to add underfloor heat! The material is naturally warm. To say I fell in love with it is like saying FAO Schwartz is a Big Apple institution: it goes without saying.
The table, while slightly less practical (I would have topped it entirely with glass or encased it in an acrylic or glass box, as otherwise it's not at all hygienic. I'm a country girl: you can't get that past me :) was an amazing example of upcycled design. It's perfectly proportioned for a family table or a generous kitchen island, and the uniqueness factor is off the charts. In speaking with the lovely rep at the booth, we were assured (and had no difficulty believing!) that all of the projects executed by RWC are done so with the same commitment to individuality and creativity as their Home Show display. In other words, beautiful and unique aren't just to sell the product; they ARE the product. And I can't say enough how lovely the RWC rep was (I didn't catch her name ~ my bad ~ but she was working on Sunday afternoon and if she or her colleagues are reading this, they know who she is): we talked her ear off for a LONG TIME! She was generous with her time, her opinions, her expertise and did an excellent job of talking up her company. Thank you for a great showroom experience!
And I gotta say, folks, all of the stunning kitchen displays at the Home Show are making our little kitchen look increasingly inadequate in comparison. I wish I was kidding.
On a final note, both hubby and I were delighted by the POP-UP VIGNETTES designed by Janette Ewen (booth #5900). At 2PM on Sunday, March 25 (closing day), all 12 vignettes will be sold at discount prices to benefit Food Banks Canada. All proceeds will be donated, so hurry down to take a look and get there early on Sunday to score your favourite pieces and contribute to a good cause! Here's a sneak peek at three of our favourites:
All in all, an excellent day out and a thousand new ideas for the house rattling around in my head. I'm seriously considering returning to work to finance all the projects I'm now planning! If you haven't made it down to the show yet, definitely consider going. And if your trip is already planned (or you've already been) I'd love to hear what caught your attention! What did you love the most?
I also encourage everyone who likes what they've seen today to visit the websites of each vendor for additional information, much better photography and of course, to order! All images in today's post are by me.
Finally, be sure to tune in tomorrow for this month's edition of Design This Dish, and on Wednesday for Money Pit Love's first-ever GIVEAWAY!
Ciao 'til then!!
