The Anaheim Convention Center, where CHA is held, is right next to Disneyland. As a consequence, there are a bajillion hotels in the area. Free shuttle buses run on a loop from the various hotels to the Convention Center all day long.
When you walk into the Convention Center, you have to pick up your badge. As you might imagine, the lines are exceedingly long the first day. However, I showed up on day 2 and hardly had to wait. You must wear your badge at all times. There are security guards at all the entrances and patrolling the inner perimeter (and outside the hall there are signs saying that photography is not allowed - I only ran into one booth - KI Memories - where that was enforced, though I heard tell that Ellison wasn't allowing photography either). You also need to wear your badge because the manufacturers like to know who they're dealing with. And they do treat you differently based on what your badge says.
The entire hall is carpeted, which eases up the aching feet a bit I suppose. And different "areas" have different colored carpet. Scrapbooking is red, quilting is green, etc.
Each company has a booth number and there are large flags with the row numbers, so you can try to find the booth you're looking for if you know the number.
I don't really have any photos of the flags, but I circled the one you can see in the background of this photo. Basically, you just look up and try to wander in the right direction. I'll admit that it took me at least two days to figure out how to navigate the show floor.
The show floor is open 9am-5:30pm every day but Wednesday, when it closes at 2pm for tear down. Those with manufacturer's badges can walk the floor from 7am-7pm. And many of them have marketing and strategy meetings during the times that they're the only ones allowed on the floor. Some booths even have special secret meeting rooms built-in.
There are plenty of bathrooms, water fountains, and snack pavilions. There was even one place where you could get a chair massage for your back or your feet or both. I wish I had taken a photo, but it seemed like a weird invasion of privacy to photograph people while they were being massaged.
A number of folks mentioned that the show is significantly smaller than previous years. The number I heard mentioned was about one-third fewer vendors. That's pretty significant. Of course, I couldn't tell because it was my first time.
As you might expect, booths ranged from small to ginormous. Some had a lot of walking around space, lots of furniture, comfy places to sit, huge displays, and serious walls.
Other booths had a more cramped, overstuffed, "Mom & Pop" feeling. Unfortunately, I didn't take many photos of those booths, because as you may expect, those booths don't tend to attract one. In fact, I was a bit disappointed in myself. I totally went for the big and shiny booths and tended to gloss past the little cramped ones. Silly, right?
Due to rampant theft, most booths only have one of any given product. I talked to several people who mentioned that people will steal a lot of stuff, but not your last one.
And most of the product is seriously attached to the wall. You'd really have to pull to get it to come off. I'm sure people do still make it out with pilfered goods, but it deters a lot of folks as well.
Make & Takes are a genius idea. You quickly show people how to make something with your product so that they'll want to buy it. They *make* it and then *take* it. On the one side, I heard that there were many more Make & Takes this year. On the other hand, I managed to do a total of two. You have to wait in line and it feels weird and grabby to me. I wish that the salespeople would offer them to you after you buy a bunch of stuff. I don't know. There's no perfect solution. I suppose I should have just gotten over my aversion to seeming like a "free stuff" predator, but I couldn't. They looked fun, though.
I really liked the demos better. You could wander up in the middle of it and see what was often a complicated technique (as opposed to Make & Takes, which are usually incredibly simplistic) and get jazzed about the product. Well, if I ever rule the world, I'll do demos and not Make & Takes.
EDITED: Go to the Fancy Pants blog and you can see me at one of the two Make&Takes I did. How funny! I'm in the third picture down chatting with Cindy Tobey.
I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this. You can't have it all. As I've mentioned, I was there to help Kim shop for PortraitBug (which it turns out is meant to be one word, but I think the logo makes that confusing). I was also offered a press pass from Craft Critique. And finally, I had some meetings with Sakura of America as a designer.
Buying takes such a long time that you really can't see the whole show. And that makes doing any real reporting impossible. I definitely missed entire sections of the show and a huge number of booths. This makes trend watching less accurate. And I felt guilty the entire time I was networking and doing my designer thing because I was leaving Kim in the lurch. It's just too hard to wear more than one hat. I now totally understand it when people say that working at a booth is like not going to the show at all. I'm sure that they saw even less than I did!
Lesson Learned: The next time I go, I need to be realistic about what I'm going to accomplish at the show.
Yep, that face pretty much sums it up. Buying is a long, slow process that seems like it should be much more fun than it actually is.
You go into a booth that looks good or that you know you need to buy from.
You find an available person to help you buy. This is often a very difficult step. Sometimes the booth is super busy and sometimes the salesperson is busy chatting you up instead of getting the business done.
Once you find the salesperson, you ask about the show specials. Most booths offer some sort of special during the show. Sometimes it's a special price for a particular product. Sometimes it's a discount over a certain dollar amount (i.e., buy $500 and get 5% off). You also have to ask what the minimum is (most companies won't sell to you unless you purchase a minimum dollar amount of product) and then each product has a minimum (i.e. you have to buy six tubes of red paint at a time).
You do math in your head and try to figure out if the show special works for you, whether you can meet the minimum, and if the product minimums are too high. This is all complicated by the fact that there are no prices listed anywhere. You have to ask about everything.
You walk around with the salesperson while they either fill out a sales form for you, or scan UPC codes with a little machine. The little machines were cool, but they're slower than you'd think. The benefit, of course, is that you get a total really quickly and a very neat print out of your order. For the most part, I found that most of the salespeople were really fantastic and once they figured out your vibe, they were great about pointing out things you'd like and not hard selling the stuff you didn't like.
The salesperson totals your bill and you pay.
You get a receipt and walk on to the next booth.
At most booths, this process takes 30-60 minutes. There's always a fair amount of discussion and debate too. I tried to help Kim by being opinionated, but not pushy.
CHA is an amazing opportunity for networking. But, it's just that. An opportunity. There were a couple of lovely and amazing things that came out of CHA for me, but most of them were accidental opportunities that arose and with which I happened to be prepared to deal. One of which is that I was introduced to the editor of Scrapbooking & Beyond Magazine and I happened to have my portfolio with me. I showed it to her, and she took *twelve* of my layouts for publication! Luck meets planning, right?
There are a lot of private parties over the four days. Beyond the private dinners, many manufacturers hold parties, which are certainly networking opportunities. I wasn't invited to any of these, so I can't report on them, but I heard that they're an enormous part of becoming part of the "inner circle."
The major consumers may be women. The public faces of the companies may be women. But, there's no doubt that men rule the industry. Most booths have an owner who is a man. The marketing people tend to be men. The deals and handshakes are all man-to-man. On the other hand, most of the buyers (i.e., owners of retail shops and kit clubs) are women. I'm not sure if I can draw out some huge anthropological conclusion here, but I found it very interesting.
I'm big on lessons. The journaling on my pages probably reflects that. Too many years in school, I suppose. I always feel you have to make experiences useful and learn from them. So, I've been thinking about what I would do differently.
As I mentioned before, I'd focus on one job: buying, reporting, networking. It's too much to do all of them.
I'd bring two pairs of sneakers. There's a lot of walking, and changing shoes would have helped.
I'd make a bigger effort to see the new manufacturers and look at the smaller booths. I missed them entirely. What a waste of an opportunity.
I'd do more Make & Takes and watch more demos. They're worth the time, and are part of what makes being at CHA special, rather than reading about it online.
I happened to be in the shuttle to the airport with a couple of people from New Zealand. They were discussing their show experiences, and the woman, who was a retailer, mentioned that she spent the majority of her time taking classes. Most of the manufacturers offer classes for $25 or so. She decided to use her time at CHA to see the new products, learn new techniques, and have ideas to bring back to New Zealand with her. She wasn't really there to buy.
Obviously, she has to deal with enormous shipping costs to New Zealand, and she mentioned as much. But, she also said that people have too much stuff and aren't looking to buy a lot right now. This is a huge trend. I noticed that a number of companies released much less new stuff than in previous years (i.e., a single paper line). Another option is "limited releases," which I understand are becoming more and more common. A company only makes a certain number of something and when it's gone, it's gone. This reminds me of scrapbooking kit clubs that make a small number of kits even though the demand is high. They'd rather sell out and miss a few sales than have excess inventory.
I know that I said I'd get back to this when I mentioned it in an earlier post. What's the difference between layouts that manufacturers use to sell their product and layouts that the rest of us do for our personal albums? Well, obviously the former have to have strong design and great photography and all that jazz, but there are a couple of other important factors.
They're meant to sell the product, so they're heavy on product and light on personality. Lots of patterns. Lots of embellishments. Very little journaling. Usually no more than one photo.
And almost always featuring attractive children.
All of this is, of course, so that you can see yourself using these products. Most manufacturers don't want layouts that are too complicated, too odd, too personal, too far away from their audience. They want you to feel like on your best day, you might make that page, featuring your child.
For anyone out there who is interested in designing for a manufacturer, including myself, this is of interest. Think clean, graphic, bright, with limited journaling and beautiful photography of children.
CHA does give out actual awards. However, I'm creating my own list of the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I met a very wonderful fifteen-year veteran of the craft industry who took an interest in me. She very graciously took me around the show floor and showed me some hidden gems. I really enjoyed getting that veteran perspective on the show.
I'm not a store owner. I'm not a reporter. I'm a fan.
In my heart, I'm just a fan girl. All I want to do is sit down and use all these cool tools and awesome new products! It stunk to have to "work" instead of getting to just play.
Loved this t-shirt that Alison Kreft of Hambly fame was wearing. It turns out that it was made by Amy Tangerine, who is a well known scrapper! Here's her blog.
Not a big surprise. Tim Holtz really knows how to show off Ranger's products.
Stitching on your layout isn't new, but selling paper that is already stitched, is new. And even though this is something I do all the time, I will definitely be buying a bunch of these.
Again, despite the fact that I've made fabric albums before, these pre-made canvas albums from Prima, with all the quilted embellishments, has my heart going pitter-patter!
I like them because it's a new way to use a supply that I already own. That's always a good idea, right?
I know from personal experience that you can take a very flattering photograph of yourself if you just get the camera higher than you are. Looking up does tend to smooth everything out. Well, I'm not the only one who has figured out that trick! Most people (including myself) look in person like a fatter version of their online personalities. LOL!
Finally, here's my entry for this week's Project Fifty-Two.
On Wednesday morning, I made a beeline for the Ranger booth. Love, love, love Ranger. They have a couple of new products, the most exciting of which is the Alcohol Ink Fillable Pen, which you can see above.
Here, you can see Tim Holtz demonstrating how to fill the pen. Basically, you create your own Copic marker, which I think is way cool.
One of the things that I think Ranger does exceedingly well is display their products so that you understand how to use them. In the two photos above, you can see how they provide many examples of the product in use and even step-by-step directions. Very smart.
I thought this was a nice general view of CHA. You can see that it's just a huge convention center filled with row after row of booths from manufacturers.
This is K&Co. paper, which I adore. Kim thought it was ugly.
We spent about an hour at the Prima booth (again). It was filled with so many wonderful things, including this mini album.
Lots more beautiful projects from the Prima booth.
The über talented Cari Fennell took our order. Check out her blog if you get a chance. You can us here ladling flowers and me making a goofy face to boot!
Over at the Provo Craft booth they were demonstrating their new screenprinting machine. In the top left photo, you can see Suze Weinberg, inventor of The Melting Pot, enjoying the demo too!
I thought that the chalkboard displays in the Heidi Swapp booth were very cool.
One of my favorite products, which is not a new product, just new to me, is the Scor-It. You can make perfect hinge folds every time! No paper cracking ever again when you make a card or a box or an envelope. Simple to use and it takes up very little space. Definitely a tool I plan to own!
I was in the Sulyn booth and there was a woman there with an Australian accent. Her badge said, Sherry, and so I took a chance and said, "Are you the Sherry from the Kits&Pieces message board?" And, she was! Here's her blog. What a random run in! Love the serendipity of it!
Sulyn has a product called, Sparkle 21, that is truly awesome. I'm going to try to convince either Portrait Bug or The City Quilter to carry it. It's glitter glue (like Stickles) BUT it is *permanent* on everything! You can put it on fabric and it's washable. Put in on glass or plastic and it does not come off! You can see that these shoes are covered in it and you cannot even pick it off with your fingernails! The other nice thing is that it's a really strong glue to boot! Notice the jewels that are attached using it. They will not come off in the wash or anything. Isn't that awesome? Definitely a big product pick for me!
Okay, I will be back tomorrow with some analysis of my CHA experience, what I learned, some trend spotting, and some random ramblings about it all.
That's me at about 8:30am here in California, and I was about to head off to the final day of CHA. I had to write that backwards because the camera in my computer takes photos mirror image style. Now it's just after midnight and my internet connection won't work on my laptop. So, I'm not able to post photos, etc. from day 3. Sad, I know. But, day 3 was fabulous, so sit tight while I work on getting this connection going!
First, some good news from the day: Sakura has hired me to do another seven segments of Scrapbook Memories TV! Yay! I'm absolutely thrilled.
Ten Seconds Studio has been on my radar for a while. Lots of cooler than cool metal embossing tools and I was glad to finally see them in person. Kim wasn't quite as interested. But, they have video tutorials on their blog every Tuesday. Check them out if you get a chance!
AccuCut, the die cutting company, had a booth full of pages with die cuts of all shapes and sizes. But, I fell in love with the fabric projects like this pillow. So adorable and totally easy!
We started the day by buying a bunch of Basic Grey. Can you imagine a better way to start the day?
The Cosmo Cricket Booth was lovely. PortraitBug will carry most of the Girl Friday line.
At the F&W booth, we did a make and take with Crystal Jeffrey Rieger. PortraitBug will be carrying her book, "Cut Loose."
Greta Hammond helped us out at the Little Yellow Bicycle booth.
I love these chipboard albums from Little Yellow Bicycle. The pages are all different shapes and there's a matching paper pad (from each line) that is die cut to fit the pages, so there's no fancy cutting needed!
Definitely one of the coolest booths, Little Yellow Bicycle had several "shacks" built as part of their booth.
How unbelievably cool are these grungeboard flowers?! I love them! I'm planning to make a million!
I've been using the masks from Tim Holtz's Ideaology line. But, now these small masks have come out.
Hambly was a must-see booth.
I thought it was so cool that the rub-ons were put on fabric. Here's a tutorial on how to do it, from the Hambly blog.
Now, that's some serious excitement!
The Jenni Bowlin booth was full of vintage goodness!
I love the way the products are displayed in the booth.
The Pink Paislee booth had lots of great layouts.
I really liked this one. Something about the heart and the stitching just makes me happy! A big learning today was why manufacturer layouts differ so much from regular people layouts. Showing off product is a different skill than capturing a memory. I'm too tired to be articulate, so more on that later.
Here are the new rub-ons from Pink Paislee.
The Prima booth was filled with *gorgeous* stuff!
Donna Downey has a new line of sewn books and embellishments with Prima.
I loved the pre-stitched paper from Prima. So cool!
Please stop by Craft Critique for some seriously good CHA coverage. Lots of photos and very informative musings.
People will do almost anything for free stuff -- wear weird things, scream, act out, wait in line for a long time, etc.
Fabric is a huge trend. From felt to canvas to sewing (not strictly fabric, but sewing related), fabric is everywhere. And, of course, this makes me extremely happy!
I finally understand what people complain about on the boards about people being at CHA as "tourists" and not as buyers or sellers. It's a long slow process. Then again, I understand why people want to come. It's a huge networking event.
I had a very long and interesting conversation about working for free in the craft industry - good idea or bad idea. On the one hand, I understand the benefit to neophyte designers and to manufacturers or magazines on a budget. On the other hand, it does make it nearly impossible to have a career as a designer. But, this is a huge topic. Something to be explored later.
It was lovely to spend it at CHA!
That's me with a really cool product from Creative Imaginations. It's a shadow box that holds an album and the pages are magnetized so you can flip them and they stay open.
I am head over heels in love with these albums from Chatterbox! They're fabric, with great heavy-weight paper inside and so stinkin' cool. PortraitBug is definitely going to carry them! Yay!
This is Rusty Pickle's famous chocolate fountain.
I cannot remember the name of the Japanese company that was selling these awesome suiboku (Japanese ink art) stamps. But, I know that Kim ordered a bunch for PortraitBug.
These felt embellished albums from Molly West are just gorgeous!
We were evacuated from the convention center early this morning and had to mill around outside for a while.
7Gypsies Gaffer Tape. I'm in love with the tape and the display. I couldn't convince Kim to carry it all, but she did buy at least one of the patterns. I want it all!
I thought this kids line from K&Co. was adorable! Love those animals!
The buying process is soooooo slow. You have to walk around with someone at every booth who writes down your order. Here is Kim with a bunch of 7Gypsies stuff and our very nice salesman.
Fancy Pants had a special closet with discounted items.
I got to meet Cathy, the owner of Label Tulip. She is so sweet! We had a great time!
Look how tiny that brag book is! There's an awesome machine that makes these tiny books. I'm too tired to remember the manufacturer, but it was one of the more fun items from the day.
It should be called the scrapbooking show. There are very few other crafts represented. That's a bit disappointing.
I would be a terrible store owner, because I only want to buy stuff I like and nothing that other people like.
Projects really do sell product. It's also great to see the way product is displayed. I feel like I'm learning a lot.
Trend Spotting: Shabby Chic, Swirls, Elephants, Butterflies, Densely Layered Look, Fabric, Folk Art/Hand Drawn Look, and Distressing. All very hot right now.
Nobody should wear cropped pants. They don't look good. Note to self: throw mine away.
Make&Takes are filled with tons of takers. I can't deal with fighting the crowds. I only did one (with Cindy Tobey in the Fancy Pants booth).
Check out Label Tulip's photos from the day here.
That's it. I'm too tired to think! More coming tomorrow!


Email marketing is an efficient method that has been used since the beginning of the Internet. Today spam and junk mail filters keep most unwanted emails out of an email inbox, but when email marketing is done well, both the recipient and sender benefit. Continue reading to find some simple ideas to ensure people want to read the emails you send.
You want your email to be as personal as you possibly can. As in many businesses, people like a personal touch. They will do business with a person they feel friendly toward. As an example, include the reason why they are getting emails from your business in your marketing materials you send to them.
Refrain from bombarding the inbox of your recipients with "Buy now!" It will eventually backfire. This will make you look like you are spamming them, which will in turn affect your business. They are aware that you want to increase sales, so it would be best if you built a solid, professional relationship with them before encouraging them to buy anything. Your customers will appreciate being treated well and will return the favor by buying from you again.
Implement different sorts of resources and gain as much knowledge as possible about email marketing. Search online for information, or check out books from the library. In addition, lots of local classes and workshops can be discovered in your area. Therefore, it would help you to attend these when you can.
Experiment with different formats for your email newsletters. Put your important information and any new offers near the beginning of your messages. You must try different types of formats in order to determine which gives you lots of response. Once you know which ones will work and which ones won't, keep doing the successful ones! This helps your customers become familiar with your business, so they always know where to go in order to get additional information from you.
Branding your business is important, and it needs to work with all of your marketing efforts. Because of this, you should design a template which lets you incorporate the company colors, logo, and other special fonts that are on your site. This will allow people to recognize your emails more easily.
Get an object lesson in how not to run an email campaign by deliberately burying yourself in spam. You can raise a bumper crop of negative examples to look at by signing up with a free webmail service and posting your new email address in just a few places online. Look at the negative aspects of each email and consider how it could have been done better. Your subscribers will treat you with more respect and pay more attention to you the further apart you stand from typical spammers.
Make sure you use both active and passive feedback mechanisms in your e-mail marketing campaign. You can get active feedback from your target audience by asking what people think of your emails. Passive feedback is less obvious, or sometimes non-existent, to readers. Passive feedback involves the use of various tools that show you which links are being clicked on most often, and which pages are getting the most response from your site visitors.
Use your emails to give your customers incentives. Give your customers a compelling reason to give their business to you instead of your competition. A good example is letting customers click a link and when they purchase from your site, provide them with free shipping with orders that total over a certain amount.
It may seem obvious, but it is essential to your e-mail marketing campaign that the email addresses you are sending to are correct. A result of not having valid addresses is that valuable time is wasted by having to track down correct addresses and resend emails. This just wastes your precious time!
When you are going through the process of opting in, you should make it a point to get the names of your customers. By doing this, you can customize all your recipients' emails individually in order for it to address them on a more personal note. Your emails will be different from other emails and your recipient will feel less anonymous.
Never send emails that do not provide a high level of value to your customers. Do not send out repetitive emails or uninteresting ones. Your emails should contain relevant information, discount offers, or useful advice.
Test how your email messages look in different platforms. When you have a good design, you should test it out in a lot of different browsers and email providers. Even consider different operating systems. Messages will vary depending on the email server.
You must grab potential customers' attention with your marketing with email efforts. This may take you some time and some experimentation. If it doesn't work, get rid of it. Even if your plan is working, continue searching for new strategies online and from other sources.
Always proofread every email before sending it out. It goes without saying that the speed and convenience of email may cause this step to be overlooked. People think: it's only an email! It doesn't matter. The answer is no. The strategy you choose for your marketing via email campaigns should be a vital part of your overall marketing strategy and absolutely must be done the right way.
Well-designed email promoting messages do not even seem like marketing at all. If you make your emails interesting and informative, a reader might actually look foward to seeing them in their inbox. This not only helps your brand, it benefits your business as a whole. It will also translate into a loyal following who will shell out money for your wares. The tips you've read here might just lead you to great marketing via email success!

Full XDA
Google code-names suggest 2 mid-range 2020 Pixel phones with the 5G Snapdragon 765 and 4G Snapdragon 730
Every October, we expect Google to release a new Pixel smartphone. In 2016, the company unveiled its first-generation Pixel and Pixel XL. In 2017, we saw the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. There were no surprises in 2018 when Google announced the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Last year, however, Google threw a curveball by announcing the first mid-range Pixel phones in the Pixel 3a and 3a XL at Google I/O 2019. Though the company did later reveal the Pixel 4 and 4 XL in October of last year, the introduction of the 3a series has us anticipating a follow-up for this year. Indeed, @Onleaks, a famous leaker of smartphones, shared CAD renders of what's likely going to be the mid-2020 Pixel 4a.
Earlier today, Twitter user @akes29 sent us a tip with some code-names he discovered that he believed pertained to new 2020 Pixel devices. We dug through the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), the latest Pixel 4 firmware dump from this month, and the latest versions of several Google applications and found 3 new device code-names along with the SoC platforms they're based on. These code-names suggest that Google may be working on more than one mid-range 2020 Pixel—one of which is likely the Pixel 4a. Assuming Google doesn't break with its tradition of launching a smaller and XL model for each new Pixel generation, then we expect there to be a Pixel 4a XL as well. However, that might not be the case this year—YouTuber Dave Lee claims there won't be a 4a XL model. We're taking this claim with a grain of salt, though, since Lee doesn't cite any specific evidence. Furthermore, Lee's claim is contradicted by 9to5Google's earlier report on the existence of an XL model. Our discovery today backs up 9to5Google's report, though sadly, we're unable to directly link any of these code-names to actual products this far in advance.

New Fishy Code-names for the 2020 Pixel Phones
If you're unfamiliar, Google's internal code-name for each of its Pixel (and Nexus) smartphones relates to some kind of fish. When we first see rumors of Google's next Pixel devices, we usually start out with their code-names. The earliest rumors of the 2018 Pixels were about their code-names: blueline (which launched as the Pixel 3), crosshatch (which launched as the Pixel 3 XL), albacore (never launched), and wahoo (which is the unified kernel for the Pixel 3 and 3 XL). Even Google's unreleased, HTC-made Pixel 2 XL had a fishy code-name (muskie.) For reference, here's a list of all the Pixel phones and their code-names.
Marketing Name
Code-name
Pixel sailfish
Pixel XL marlin
Pixel 2 walleye
Pixel 2 XL taimen
Pixel 3 blueline
Pixel 3 XL crosshatch
Pixel 3a sargo
Pixel 3a XL bonito
Pixel 4 flame
Pixel 4 XL coral
Last April, 9to5Google spotted a reference to a Google device code-named needlefish. A device with this code-name has yet to launch, though we have seen it referenced in multiple Google apps. Twitter user @akes29 pointed us to evidence that needlefish may just be Google's Snapdragon 855-based development board, as the device seems to be based on the "sm8150p" platform. Sm8150 is the code-name for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, while sm8150p seems to be the specific code-name for the Snapdragon 855 Mobile Hardware Development Kit. While we can't definitively rule out the possibility of needlefish showing up as a commercial product, it seems less likely given recent evidence. That brings us to the 3 new code-names we discovered: sunfish, redfin, and bramble.
We spotted the "sunfish" code-name in an AOSP repository, and it's directly stated to be based on the sm7150 platform. That's the code-name for Qualcomm's Snapdragon 730 SoC, an SoC for upper mid-range devices. This SoC can be found in devices like the Redmi K30, Realme X2, and Samsung Galaxy A71, and it doesn't support a 5G modem. Sunfish has two development branches: one based on Android 10 and another based on Android 11. Since we also spotted the sunfish code-name in a string in the Google app alongside other Pixel devices, it's likely that this code-name pertains to the Pixel 4a. At the very least, it's likely a real device, even if it ends up being a development board. Were it to only be a development board, though, we would expect to see another code-name for a device based on the sm7150 platform.
The next code-name on our list is "redfin." This code-name could be a device (or development board) that's being developed on the sm7250, or Qualcomm Snapdragon 765, mobile platform. The Snapdragon 765 is Qualcomm's latest upper mid-range SoC, and it's also Qualcomm's first SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It seems that "redfin" is being made by an ODM, in this case, FIH Mobile, a subsidiary of Foxconn. It's being developed with Android 10 on board. Apart from AOSP, we haven't spotted any references to "redfin" on any other source—both online or offline.
Bramble is the third code-name we spotted. It appeared in AOSP multiple times, though I initially believed it to be Google's Snapdragon 865 development build since it's running Linux kernel version 4.19. However, that was a faulty assumption since Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765 should also be based on Linux kernel version 4.19. Indeed, thanks to a new AOSP commit, we now know that bramble, like redfin, is based on the sm7250/Snapdragon 765 mobile platform. However, unlike redfin, we haven't found evidence that bramble is an ODM device, and it seems to be in-development with Android 10 as well as Android 11.
While we can't say for sure if redfin, bramble, and sunfish are indeed mid-range Pixel devices, we should be seeing more references to these code-names in AOSP and Google apps in the coming weeks and months. Our current belief is that sunfish could be a 4G-only Pixel 4a while either bramble or redfin could be a 5G-ready Pixel 4a XL. I don't think there will be 3 mid-range 2020 Pixel phones this year, so one of redfin or bramble could be a commercial device while the other is a development board. Having a slightly higher-end 4a XL model with 5G connectivity would explain what 9to5Google heard about its pricing—supposedly, it's going to be more expensive than the 3a XL.
XDA » Full XDA » Google may be working on 2 mid-range Pixel phones for 2020: One with the 5G Snapdragon 765 and another with the 4G Snapdragon 730

For those involved in sport and recreation, it is important that the value of sport and recreation can be described in both dollar and 'social' terms.
In 2010-11 Sport New Zealand conducted a study into the economic value of sport and recreation as well as a case study that brings to life the values that are also important to understand. These will build a greater appreciation of the contribution of sport and recreation contributes.
A prototype case study was completed of Northern United Rugby Football Club (Norths) that shows the value of the club to a wide range of stakeholders. The process for conducting the case study was also recorded and was developed into a paper-based toolkit resource. The toolkit was produced by Anne Dowden (Research New Zealand). The toolkit was further revised by Robyn Cockburn (Lumin). This online toolkit is based on the case study methods, templates, and examples produced in the orginal toolkit resource.
Sport NZ thanks Anne Dowden and Robyn Cockburn for their work in developing the source material for this online toolkit. Visitor Solutions is also acknowledged for trialling the toolkit resources in the field (producing three case studies contained on the site). Finally Sport NZ, thanks the organisations that agreed to be the first to tell their stories using the case study toolkit resource (Norths, Sport Wellington, Stanmore Bay Leisure Centre, Manurewa Netball).

Tuxpan  is a small village in between Zitácuaro and Ciudad Hidalgo in the Mexican state of Michoacán. It is located 118 km (73 mi) from Morelia.

Tuxpan is distinguished for its fantastic church dedicated to James, son of Zebedee, St. James the Apostle (Santiago Apostol), in which a majestic painting by Cristóbal de Villalpando is exhibited.

Etymology
The town was born with the name of "Tuspa," which was given by the Otomi people some centuries before the birth of Jesus Christ. It was changed by the Aztecs in 1225 to Tochpan; in Nahua, tochtli means "rabbit" and an means "place". The name can be interpreted as "place of rabbits".

Catholic settlers registered Tuxpan as Santiago Tuxpan, in honor of one of the 12 apostles of Christ. This name continued until the birth of the first Republic of Mexico, when it was changed to "Tuxpan".

History

The first occupiers of the land of Tuxpan was the indigenous group of the Otomi. The only evidence found of when the Otomi people lived in Tuxpan are some archaeological artifacts that can be traced back to some centuries BC.

In 1200 AD the Otomi of Tuxpan formed part of a 340 town strong Purépecha Empire.  The Aztecs were never able to conquer this land due to the great power of the Purépecha Alliance. This relationshipgave Tuxpan over 250 years of peace.

In 1464, the Aztec king Axayacatl started to invade the Purépechaterritories. As part of the Purépecha Alliance, the 300 men strong Tuxpan fought against the thousands of Aztec soldiers. Defeat was inevitable, and the town was destroyed and burned down. The battle was considered an incredible act of heroism by the Aztecs and Purépecha people. In 1466, the Purépecha Empire swore to protect Tuxpan from any other battle to come.

The target in Michoacán was to move most of the native Indians to newly built or reconstructed towns. Catholic missionaries prepared the land so it could officially be made into a town. On October 4, 1598, a special ceremony was held for the birth of the town of Tuxpan, Michoacán. All sorts of people attended the ceremony, including the Indian chief of the land, government officials, men who had already purchased a large area of land, and the many Indians who already lived on the land.

Culture
Every year Tuxpan celebrates its most important date on the Saturday before Easter. During the next two weeks the town is in a state of celebration. A carnival is set up where people can enjoy all sorts of games. This is very similar to the carnival ambient in the United States. Aside from the typical Mexican dishes (quesadillas, tacos, and tamales), the culinary specialty this time of the year is a pasta which is in fact a type of vanilla ice cream. Conserva is also a popular choice; this is a variety of fruits boiled with sugar until it is honey-like. many people died because of cop shooting

The first Saturday of every March is dedicated to the sport of horse racing. It is held in small racetrack on the westside of town. The races star in the afternoon and continue until early evening. During the event, downtown Tuxpan is completely deserted.

A beauty pageant is organized by the town every year to select a girl worthy of representing Tuxpan during the festivities. The participants are generally 15- to 19-year-old girls. The process of choosing a winner is similar to any other pageant. The queen is also the main attraction at the parade.

On the first Tuesday after the Sábado de Carreras, the town has a unique parade in which all sorts of people participate. The queen of the beauty pageant along with the runner-up and the third-place winner make up an important part of the parade. The schools also play an important part in the event, from pre-k to high school. The last section is dedicated to the "charros"; men and women dress up as such and ride horses in the parade.

Tourism
The main natural attraction in Tuxpan is El Salto or "the jump". It is a cascade about 2.5 miles northeast of the downtown area. Many people go to see the magnificent scene that the cascade creates. Visitors usually prepare a barbecue and spend the day swimming and playing games.

El Cerro de la Cruz, "The Mountain with the Cross"
This mountain can be seen from almost anywhere in Tuxpan. In 2004 the municipal government built stairs all the way to the top of the mountain. People from all over enjoy climbing the stairs to the pinnacle and are rewarded by a majestic view of the entire valley.

The river cards flipped up onto the table. He knew that making the final cut would boost the odds on him winning, especially with the erratic all-in maneuvers he was using. A pair of aces in hand, and none on the river. It was risky, but it was time.

'There is No Turning Back' We salute a great freedom fighter – Comandante Hugo Chavez Frias
By Gerald A. Perreira
MAR 10, 2013 LISTEN
Revolutionaries throughout the Americas and the Caribbean owe a great debt to Hugo Chavez. His selfless struggle for the advancement of the masses of poor and oppressed in Venezuela, and throughout the Americas and the Caribbean, occupied him 24/7. Like so many before him, he was not given a breathing space. The Empire pursued him unrelentingly, in a constant attempt to undermine and destabilize his program for liberation. The US imperialists and their allies never missed an opportunity to demonize this great freedom fighter, and he lived with constant threats to his own life and to the sovereignty of Venezuela. The external pressure, combined with the huge undertaking of transforming a nation of almost 30 million people, meant that he was forced to put his personal life and health on the back burner. The terrible truth is that the vast majority of Venezuelans lacked all the basic necessities of life prior to his presidency, and to rebuild this country, which had been destroyed by more than two decades of neo-liberal policies, was an overwhelming task.
For those who are not familiar with Venezuela's ethnic mix, the country has a large African population. Before the Bolivarian revolution, the two institutionalized political parties, Democratic Action and COPEI, ensured that Africans remained marginalized - second class citizens in every way. Race is a very powerful dynamic in Venezuela and for that matter throughout the region. There is a racist dimension to the politics of the Castilian elites, who of course, vehemently opposed Chavez's plan to empower the masses, and in particular Black Venezuelans. After 14 years of Hugo Chavez's leadership I can assure you that Africans have come in from the cold. This is a new Venezuela and an amazing accomplishment in a country with such a rabid bourgeoisie, who were so used to their own position of white privilege that they could not imagine life any other way. So it was with sheer determination and a lifetime of struggle, that this great champion of the oppressed, Comandante Hugo Chavez, led a revolution that provides us with a working example of what he termed '21st century socialism', where people of all ethnicities have a place under the sun.
Socialism Venezuelan Style
Following the collapse of the Eastern Bloc or what was referred to at the time as 'actually existing socialism', the World Mathaba hosted an international gathering in Tripoli. The aim being to examine the implications of this historical moment and the way forward. Revolutionaries from all over the world, including Venezuela attended this gathering. At that time, some of those in Europe and throughout the world, who had promoted Soviet style communism and described themselves as Marxist-Leninist, were disillusioned. They had lost direction, and as a result, some of them abandoned socialism altogether. However, many saw the collapse as something to be expected, since we had witnessed the limitations of Soviet style communism. We had seen firsthand, failed attempts to mechanically replicate Soviet style communism across the Global South. Furthermore, we rejected the idea that 'socialism' was primarily a European product and somehow synonymous with European/Soviet expressions of socialism. We understood socialism as a universal principle, pre-dating Marxism, which found expression in all cultures.
During the gathering, Muammar Qaddafi addressed a meeting of revolutionary organizations at his Bab al-Aziziya barracks, where he shared his thoughts. This address was later published in a booklet entitled: Muammar Qaddafi's Address to Revolutionaries of Latin America. According to Qaddafi, what had collapsed in the Eastern Bloc was not 'socialism' as we understood it but a form of 'bureaucratic collectivism'. He went on to say that, outside of the Jamahiriya, he believed that the struggle for and implementation of the 'new socialism', which would truly lead to power, wealth and arms in the hands of the people, would occur in the coming years in South and Central America. That was in 1990, nine years before Chavez's electoral victory and the path blazing journey he embarked on. It was a journey which laid the foundation for a regional movement of socialist oriented and anti-imperialist governments.
Like the socialism of the Jamahiriya, which was inspired by an Islamic theology of liberation, the socialism Chavez spoke of was grounded in the theology of liberation borne out of the extreme poverty and social deprivation in the barrios of South and Central America. Revolutionary theologians such as Gustavo Gutierrez, Juan Segundo and Jose Miranda proclaimed that the message of Jesus Christ was incompatible with neo-liberal capitalism and was in fact revolutionary and socialistic to its core.
In the words of Chavez, 'Capitalism is the way of the devil and exploitation. If you really want to look at things through the eyes of Jesus Christ — who I think was the first socialist — only socialism can really create a genuine society.'
This was an idea close to the hearts of the people of Venezuela, but which earned Chavez the wrath of the establishment's clergy.
Like Qaddafi, Chavez rejected the left/right dichotomy. Both saw it as meaningless and obsolete, since it failed to encapsulate their realities. Chavez himself said he was 'neither left nor right' and made it clear that the PSUV - the party of the Bolivarian revolution - was not Marxist-Leninist. He acknowledged the great contribution made to socialist theory and practice by Marx, Lenin, Trotsky and Mao Tse-tung, however, he knew that if socialism was to be successfully implemented in Venezuela, and throughout the Americas/Caribbean, it had to be a socialism rooted in the experiences and traditions of the peoples of the Americas.
Drawing on the example of Jesus Christ and the legacy of Venezuela's own revolutionary hero, Simon Bolivar, Chavez's Bolivarian revolution resonated throughout the region, not least of all because it was homegrown. The indigenous character of all the programs and policies meant that they were implemented with tremendous success. Venezuela, under Chavez, became a shining example of a viable alternative to the failed neo-liberal model, which has brought nothing but despair and devastation. The communitarian socialism of Evo Morales of Bolivia is in the same tradition – indigenous and homegrown.
Hugo Chavez's contributions to the region and the entire Global South are far too many to catalogue here. Perhaps one of the most important was his insistence that if socialism was to be built in the 21st century, it must be the people, the masses, organized at the base level in the 'communal councils', actively and consciously shaping their destiny, rather than being dictated to by a so-called revolutionary vanguard. This was the very cornerstone of the Libyan Jamahiriya. Revolutionary committee members were facilitators not a vanguard. Like the Libyan Jamahiriya, Chavez's bottom up revolution gave the world an example of a rare and genuine transfer of power and wealth to the people. Chavez was a great orator and thinker, but most importantly, a man who walked the talk. Putting the idea of people's empowerment into practice, in just 14 years, he took Venezuela from a neo-colony – a landscape of poverty stricken barrios – quite literally stretching as far as the eye could see. From a nation where the majority of the population lived in disgraceful conditions alongside a tiny minority of parasitical elites, who enjoyed all of the benefits of Venezuela's vast oil wealth - to an example of a 'people's revolution' and the real international community salutes you brother.
In the words of one Venezuelan woman, who was weeping in the street upon hearing the news of Chavez's death: 'Chavez is alive, we are all Chavez.'
The life and times of Hugo Chavez will continue to inspire all those who fight for a world free of racism and imperialism. Like his hero, Bolivar, Chavez will be forever etched into the world's collective memory because he changed the world. Be assured that the great sacrifice he made has led to the kind of transformation from which, in his words, 'there is no turning back'.

People who listen to podcasts tend to really like podcasts. The average weekly listener tunes in for 4 hours and 10 minutes each week, according to the most recent Edison Podcast Consumer report.
And podcast listening is growing, with 36 per cent of those surveyed by Edison having listening to a podcast at least once – up from 11 per cent in 2006.
However, it can be difficult to get people who wouldn't normally tune in to a podcast to do just that.
"Podcast discovery is still a problem," Delaney Simmons, WNYC's social media director, told the ONA conference in Denver on 15 September.
She noted that in the 10 years since Steve Jobs built the podcast app, not much has changed. "The industry hasn't matured the same way a lot of other mediums have."
The main way people discover WNYC's podcasts is through iTunes, which is where 60-90 per cent of people listen in, depending on the show.
And while iTunes provides bare-bones analytics regarding top charts for mobile and desktop listening, Simmons pointed out this misses the bigger picture, such as "who's listening, how long they're listening, how they found us".
"We can't be beholden to this third-party platform forever," she said.
Because of this, radio and podcast networks are testing new and different ways to share audio socially, three of which are highlighted below.
Earlier this year, NPR partnered with Facebook to experiment with a beta audio player which turned audio posts into "audio books", explained Mathilde Piard, NPR's project manager.
The in-line player, originally designed for music services like Spotify, made it possible to share audio via the meta data in links posted to Facebook.
Where posts contained a "back announce" – a message at the end of the audio clip encouraging listeners to 'click on the listen button to hear the full story' – the conversion rate on NPR's website for people listening to the full audio was "much, much higher".
The learnings from NPR's Facebook experiment are shared in-depth in this Nieman Lab article.
Facebook is continuing to experiment with social audio in beta, Simmons added.
Native content performs better on social media than third-party links, but at WNYC Simmons found that meta data posted often showed up "funky", and couldn't be played in-line.
"The user experience for all the audio platforms we had in our arsenal weren't working for us, and we weren't driving conversation, these clips weren't super-shareable, and we were almost packaging our audio stories as articles."
So in August 2015, WNYC launched Audiogram, an open-source product that would ingest audio, read the levels, and output a movie file.
The software was designed to be "true to the medium" – it looks and feels like an audio player – and something that anyone could use, from interns to executive producers, to create shareable audio content.
Interestingly, Audiogram doesn't require producers to add an image, one reason being that Simmons said she couldn't rely on quality, original photos.
Audio is cut into 30-second chunks – a time limit Delaney said was picked because it would allow people to finish the entire story.
"You can't really capture someone in their news feed for more than 30 seconds," she said. "With audio, anything longer than that, [and] we were seeing drop-offs".
When NPR launched the second season of Invisibilia, it ran a survey to see how listeners had heard about the podcast.
A lot of people had been loyal listeners from the first series, or had heard about it from other podcasts such as This American Life and Radiolab, explained Piard.
However, many other people had come to Invisibilia via an eight-minute video featuring animated shadow puppets.
Social posts combining animation and audio have also been key to promoting the new NPR podcast How I Built This, as well as the network's coverage of the US presidential debates.

Q: Matplotlib / Seaborn legend changes style upon adding labels I'm plotting some of my data from a pandas df using seaborn. Almost everything plots nicely using the following code:
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns

sns.set(style='whitegrid', palette='muted')

legend = ["Hue 1", "Hue 2"]
order = ["A", "B"]

ax = sns.violinplot(x=df.xaxis, y=df.yaxis, hue=df.hue,
                    split=True, order=order)
ax.set_ylim(0, 100)
ax.set(xlabel='X - axis', ylabel='Y - axis')
ax.legend(title='Legend', loc='upper left', labels=legend)
ax.set_title('My little plot')
plt.show()

As soon as I add the labels= there is a change in 'linetype' shown in the legend. Below is a screenshot. Unfortunately my dataset is too large to publish so I hope this is enough.
Thanks in advance. BBQuercus :)
Left without, right with labels (R, C are the values in my data).

A: You could try to draw custom patches for your legend. I haven't tested this but I think that it should work.
from matplotlib.patches import Patch
palette=sns.color_palette('muted')

bluepatch = Patch(
    facecolor=palette[0],edgecolor='k',label='Hue 1'
)
orangepatch = Patch(
    facecolor=palette[1],edgecolor='k',label='Hue 2'
)

ax.legend(
    labels=['Hue 1','Hue 2'],
    handles=[bluepatch, orangepatch],
    title='Legend',
    loc='upper left'
)

Late last month, Nike filed an intent-to-use trademark application for registration with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") for the word "footware" – for use in connection with sneaker-specific "computer hardware modules for receiving, processing, and transmitting data in Internet of things electronic devices; electronic devices and computer software that allow users to remotely interact with other smart devices for monitoring and controlling automated systems," among other hardware and software products and services.
Why not try to nab a registration that extends to class 25 (i.e., the trademark class that covers shoes)? Well that is a registration that not even Nike and its pool of high-powered lawyers could score because the mark would be deemed purely descriptive of the products at play, particularly since an array of parties, including media outlets, use the "footware" spelling to refer to shoes, and thus, not registerable.
According to trademark attorney Josh Gerben, "Essentially, it appears that Nike will start to brand any smart shoes as FOOTWARE as opposed to FOOTWEAR." Judging by just how famous and powerful its "Just Do It" and swoosh marks are, the new trademark just might catch on, and ultimately, serve to identify Nike's smart shoes as a whole (and not just their tech components). As for the application, itself, it is currently pending review by the USPTO.
If the company can win over the USPTO on this one (and if the similar proceedings currently underway before the UKIPO are any indication, there's a chance it will be able to), it might walk away with not just a major win but the beginning of a pretty striking trademark and branding scheme.

Rainforest: One of the carriages on the Hangzhou Subway line has been made to look like a rainforest with green designs on the floor, walls and ceiling
Psychedelic: Each of the carriages contained different images, ranging from traditional blossom trees to more psychedelic designs
Tao Chin, a spokesman for the underground line, said: 'We wanted to make the experience of travelling on carriages more enjoyable, and so the 3D effect covering various subjects was introduced with a good reaction from our customers.
'We make sure that the decorations cover not just the walls but also the windows, doors and roofs to maximise the effect.'

There were five different themes used, including an amusement park, European castles and a fairy tale world.
Passenger Sying Tsao told local media: 'I didn't see them advertising things and then suddenly when I turned up for work one morning I saw that the carriages had this great new 3D designs.
'They were very realistic, I saw one child nervous about stepping on a 3D floor.
'I have seen three or four different designs, I like the cherry blossom best because I haven't seen any so far this year, and it was really nice and calming, not just for me but for everyone on the tube I think.'
Mr Li, manager at the care products company's head office, said using 3D adverts in the carriages not only promoted their products, it also encouraged the 'heads-down generation' to look up and enjoy the scenes around them.
But while the colourful designs were appreciated by commuters, most had not realised the carriages were actually advertising sanitary towels.
Some took to online message boards to express their shock that they had been surrounded by such adverts.
'We make sure that the decorations cover not just the walls but also the windows, doors and roofs to maximise the effect,' Tao Chin, a spokesman for the underground line, said
Photographs of the beautifully decorated carriages were shared widely on social media and the PR stunt, which coincided with International Women's Day, won praise from commuters

It's times like these, I wish I could crochet instead of half-assedly knit.
Craftser user EnemyAirShip taught herself to knit a little while ago by watching YouTube videos. She started with granny squares and then orchestrated a the pixelated pattern that become the Mario rug, which now lives in her living room.
I finished him in 15 days (approx. 120hrs put in)! It took 13 days to complete all the individual granny squares, then 2 days to sew them all together. I made an Excel spreadsheet with columns and formulas detailing the number of granny squares needed for each color, then used this to track my daily progress (like a true geek, haha) and motivate me to keep out-doing myself.
And that right there is why I won't learn to crochet. Or even knit slightly better than half-assedly. I just don't have follow-through like that!

Q: Expression Encoder 4 in a WCF service I am trying to write a WCF service that would run in IIS 8 and would use the Expression Encoder SDK to open a video file and then encode it as a WMV. The following code works fine when it's in a desktop application I wrote earlier.
Job job = new Job();
job.ApplyPreset(Preset.FromFile(HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath + "Profiles\\" + profile + ".xml"));
job.CreateSubfolder = false;
job.SaveJobFileToOutputDirectory = false;
job.OutputDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(input);
MediaItem item;
item = new MediaItem(input);
item.OutputFileName = "{Original file name}.wmv";
job.MediaItems.Add(item);

job.EncodeProgress += new EventHandler<EncodeProgressEventArgs>(job_EncodeProgress);
job.EncodeCompleted += new EventHandler<EncodeCompletedEventArgs>(job_EncodeCompleted);
job.Encode();

But when I try to run this code in a WCF service running on IIS I get the following error
The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.SkuManager' threw an exception.
at Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.SkuManager.IsFeaturedSupported(Feature feature)
at MS.Internal.Expression.Encoder.FastProperties.FastPropertyCreate.ShouldAddProp(IFastProperty property, PropertyType propType)
at MS.Internal.Expression.Encoder.FastProperties.FastPropertyCreate.CreatePropertiesArray[T](Type classType, PropertyType propType)
at MS.Internal.Expression.Encoder.FastProperties.FastPropertyCreate.GetProperties[T](PropertyType propType)
at MS.Internal.Expression.Encoder.Persistence.JobPersistence.GetJobFilePropertiesCore[T](JobPropertiesMode mode)
at MS.Internal.Expression.Encoder.Persistence.JobPersistence.GetJobFileProperties[T](JobPropertiesMode mode)
at Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.JobBase.CreateDefaultValues(JobBase job)
at Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.JobBase..ctor()
at Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.Job..ctor()

I can run this code in a regular desktop application on the server, but not in a WCF service running on the same machine.

A: It turns out it was a permissions problem in IIS.
In order for any program to use the Expression Encoder SDK it needs to be running under an identity that can access the Expression Encoder program installed on the machine.
So in IIS the "ApplicationPoolIdentity" identity that the WCF service was running on didn't have permissions to launch the Expression Encoder program that was installed on the machine by the "Administrator" account.
To fix this you can do one of two things.

*

*When you are installing Expression Encoder allow "All Users" to be able to launch it.

*When you install your WCF service on IIS make sure it's running in an application pool that can launch Expression Encoder

A: I had this same issue in an iis8 web site (not hosting any wcf service tho) and yes i also discovered that IIS needs to run under permissions that can execute expression encoder.  BUT one day it just stopped working and started throwing the same error:
"The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Expression.Encoder.SkuManager' threw an exception."
Even though the AppPool's identity was a good one.  I pulled my hair out for a day or so then realized that somehow the binaries that VS copies to the local bin directory didn't want to be run in IIS. Somehow corrupted or dll mismatch with expression's installation???. I had to delete the contents of the bin directory and, then VS replaced them, and it worked.  Setting CopyLocal to false for those references did not work (conceivably it might be nice to just use from the gac).

Top 10 running back feels "letdown" after UGA visit
Carlin Fils-aime at Dawg Night (Mike Eden/Special to AJC)
One of the nation's top 10 running backs made an appearance at this weekend's UGA Dawg Night prospect camp.
Carlin Fils-aime, a 4-star from Naples, Fla., tried to remain upbeat about the UGA visit during an interview with the AJC on Sunday. But it was easy to tell that it didn't meet his expectations.
A lot his disappointment had to do with being unable to meet Mark Richt in person during his UGA visit.
"I think he was busy," Fils-aime told the AJC. "The hostess kept trying to call him, but he never answered. I guess he had a lot of stuff to do.
"I felt kind of letdown. When you go to the school, you want to talk to the head coach. He was busy though, so there's nothing he can do about it. I guess I'll have to talk to him another time."
Fils-aime said he and his parents did get to chat with UGA recruiting Bryan McClendon, who "told us he was sorry that none of the coaches were able to talk to me." In UGA's defense, it was a chaotic atmosphere with more than 500 high school kids on campus for Saturday night.
UGA is still looking for a running back in this year's class, and Fils-aime is not sure if he's a top target for the Bulldogs. "I couldn't say if I was (a big priority). I spoke to Coach Brown and he said that was the reason why they had two days of the camp because it was packed. They had a second day because of the amount of kids. I don't blame anything on them."
Fils-aime said the rest of the UGA trip went well. "It was really nice. The campus was nice, and the people at the school were really friendly. The hostess that I had was really fun. The only thing was I didn't get to meet the head coach and I didn't get the chance to race Coach Brown. Other than that, my visit was good."
The 5-foot-11, 180-pounder didn't work out at Dawg Night, but he was supposed to race UGA running backs coach Thomas Brown in the 40-yard dash during the camp. That got canceled on Saturday. "He and I wanted to do this for fun. He and I said we were going to race when I came up to Athens or if he ever came down to Naples, we would race, but that didn't happen."
The rising senior from Florida's Naples High School visited Auburn on Friday, and named the Tigers as his "favorite" after the trip. There was speculation that UGA could surpass Auburn for the top spot after Dawg Night. On Sunday. Fils-aime told the AJC that Auburn is No. 1, followed by Miami. UGA is still in the race in the third spot.
"Auburn still leads," he said. "When I went to Auburn, the school was really beautiful. Everything about it was great — the school, the classes, the parking, the players, where they stay at, the locker room. All of that is perfect. The coaches … (offensive coordinator) Rhett Lashley — He is really funny and he and I connected well. Just seeing everything at Auburn amazed me."
What's next with UGA? Will he return in the fall for an official visit with the Bulldogs? "I don't know," he said. "We'll see. I'll have to check my schedule for that."
Fils-aime is rated as the nation's No. 10 overall prospect at running back.
