Automobile Magazine senior editor EDDIE ALTERMAN sits down with
DAN KNOTT, director of Chrysler's Performance Vehicle Operations
and the man behind the amazing, Viper-powered Dodge Ram SRT-10.
AUTOMOBILE MAGAZINE: The SRT-10 is obviously an outgrowth of the SRT badge, it's the third after the Viper and the Neon. Why did you guys decide to do a truck this time?
DAN KNOTT: Well, part of it is that no one else has the heritage and tradition that we have in Viper. Nobody else has that engine. To grow that heritage into something like a truck is just awesome. Viper and Ram SRT-10 are a similar type of market in that we're going after the enthusiast market, but of course it's the truck enthusiast market, which is a good market-our competitors have found that out and we're finding that out now. The whole idea of this SRT brand&#151street and racing technology&#151was to plug in to what's going on the enthusiast market. In the tuner end, the SRT-4 has been just an absolute certifiable phenomenon, but it's one end of the market. And then we have the Viper type of the market, which is another strong enthusiast market, more traditional. And then we said, Okay, how can we grow that and tap into another segment of the enthusiast market? How can we take this buzz of the Viper and what it's created, and grow it and how can we show people that the Dodge trucks have the range to do something with this kind of performance?
So we took our Ram truck, which is an outstanding base vehicle, and asked how we could come out with a high-performance derivative and still "walk the talk," which is what all my SRT products have to do. So we look at things like exterior styling. Bold, aggressive, in-your-face Dodge styling. Then we go after a race-inspired interior, with racing seats, steering wheels, Hurst shifter on the floor. Then we go after braking, steering, and handling. Delivering the performance to the road. Wide wheels and tires so we can put the power down, our new power-hop damper system so that you can put slicks on it and go wide-open throttle and still maintain traction.
We've lowered the truck, an inch in the front, two-inches in the rear, for handling. And we went with bigger brakes, so you have great stopping capability. And then you have the heart of it, the Viper engine, which nobody has. Outrageous performance, 500-hp, 525 lb-ft, 505 cubic inches, and a 508-watt stereo system. We call it four-by-five. The first 4×5. I think for us, SRT has to walk the talk. In all those areas I talked about, every SRT product you see will deliver on the promise.
AM:</font How do you make sure you are the leader in the segment? Because now, you've got the next-generation SVT Lightning coming up fast behind this truck. And the old Lightning just claimed a speed record for production pickups.
DN:</font It's a tough game, because you're constantly raising the bar. In this truck we'll raise the bar for the performance truck market. John Coletti [of SVT] isn't going to rest on his laurels and neither is Mr. Reuss over at GM's High Performance division. So we're all going to be pushing in the same direction. But as the engineers you have to ask yourselves What's out there currently? Where do we think they're going to go? But that's only one part of it. The other part is how can we develop a product with the technology that we've got, and where are our leverage points? In the case of the truck, it's easy. We had a great leverage point in the Viper powertrain.
AM:</font If you guys think that doing it with displacement as opposed to supercharging is the way to go, how much more room do you have in that engine, say if Coletti comes out with a bigger bottom end?
DN:</font Well our V-10's been a around a while, and in '03 we bumped it up. It's a very capable engine and it's got a great history. I think the performance level we have in the truck will be very competitive and we'll stay there and see what goes on in the future.
AM:</font The segment is interesting: I don't really consider the Chevy Silverado SS a player just because its horsepower is so far off you and SVT. But it seems like it's high time that trucks started spawning new expressions of themselves.
DN:</font That's why we're thinking there's room in the market for something like this. And we bring to it a piece that most people can't bring to it, which is the Viper V-10. It would have been one thing to come out with a truck with performance cues and then put a hot engine in it. But our hot engine is one nobody else can do.
AM:</font And it originally started life as a truck engine. Shifting gears a second, are you predicting that Nissan and Toyota will come after you, too? Or is this primarily an American muscle phenomenon?
DN:</font It's hard to say, but part of this whole issue with the enthusiast market that all of us are tapping into, is that this is where people are making their money nowadays. We don't have incentives. The first time we do have incentives means I didn't do my job with the credibility of the product. And some of my competitors do have incentives on their performance vehicles and when you stand back and look at it and say maybe they didn't quite deliver on all of those things. But I think that the competitive market could drive some of those guys to come out with their own entry. I don't see anything on the immediate horizon other than the Lightning.
AM:</font How much high-horsepower expertise was drawn on from your Mercedes-Benz colleagues?
DN:</font In the case of the truck, not a significant amount. We and AMG have similar kinds of objectives. And we continue to have discussions with them about how to leverage each other's knowledge base. We'd be fools if we didn't. So we continue to learn from them, and I think they're learning some things from us. And they don't have a Viper type of product, with this level of raw horsepower [without super- or turbocharging.]
AM:</font Yet you seem to be matching each other horsepower for horsepower. I don't want to stretch this point too much, but what are the things that separate you and AMG? Besides the fact that one is Mercedes-Benz and the other is Dodge? What's the difference in approach?
DN:</font I think there's some level of refinement that a Mercedes brand has versus an SRT at this current point. The markets are different, so the expectations from the consumer are a little different. That's not to say that we have any less refinement, it's just a different type. I think we're going to grow to that place over time. Secondly, AMG has a fair amount of resources that they can leverage, and my resources are a little bit less. But I'm going to leverage them for as much as I can and vice versa.
AM:</font Talk about some of the challenges of turning a Ram into the SRT-10. Not only with the brand and its promotion, and getting SRT away from something that's strictly Viper, but also the challenges of making a truck perform like a muscle car.
DN:</font Frankly, it was a big challenge. First, we started with a great truck. That's a fundamental. It's not like we're starting with a product that's a huge stretch. The base truck handles very well and has a very good set of brakes. But what we did in the case of the SRT-10 was said Okay, we've got 500 horsepower and 525 foot-pounds that we've got to get to the road. How do we do that? We lower the center of gravity, lower the truck, and we knew we had to go after something like that power-hop damper. We studied several different alternatives and what we ended up with was basically a damper mounted on the top of the diff that, as the rear axle starts to wind up, forces it down. We also went with a snubber under the rear leaf springs, so as it starts to compress, you get loads on the wheels. And it's so effective that we can put slicks on it and open the throttle all the way, and it stays stuck to the pavement. So getting the power to the road was critical. And making that early decision to get those snubbers and that damper in there was critical.
One of the issues with designing and developing a product like this is that you have such a short development time. We're moving toward less-than-24-months kinds of programs, and the only way you can do that is if you sit down right up front and you say, Based upon all these people out there racing, out there walking the talk, and doing it everyday, what does our expertise have to deliver? We can't wait until we're all the way down stream to say; Gee we hope we don't need to put a damper on that rear axle. And the more expertise you've got, the more easily you can make those decisions up front.
Another area that we went after was the spoiler on the back, which is a functional spoiler that does provide downforce. So in the wind-tunnel testing, crosswinds, straight-ahead, we do get downforce from it. And we do get downforce from the front end in terms of how we designed the fascia and splitter. The exterior jumps out and grabs you, but it's also extremely functional. A bit of that NASCAR influence. One of the things you see on the SRT-10 is that in NASCAR truck racing, we close the grille off and funnel the air where we really want it to go, and typically you don't see that on production trucks. So what we've done is diverted some of the air so we can get a highly efficient air flow up there. The other thing is on a truck that goes 150 mph, is that you get a lift, so you have to divert some air to help keep the front end down.
The other challenge to a truck that weighs 5000 pounds and has to deliver good handling is you've got to lower the suspension, and go with performance shocks, which in this case are Bilsteins, and the result has been pretty impressive.
AM:</font What's the one key message that the SRT-10 delivers?
DN:</font When you look at what we're trying to deliver with the Ram, I think we've done very well. I'm really happy with how we've delivered the SRT cues. I kind of think that when people walk up to a vehicle, there's a promise that already starts to establish in their mind. And you walk up to the SRT truck, and first of all it's very aggressive and in-your-face, but it looks like it should handle and perform well. And I'm happy to report that it does all of those very well, and for me, as I start to build this SRT brand, it's really critical that we do that and we don't take any step backward. So I think there's one key message and that it that the truck delivers, it walks the talk. It's another notch in the belt of the SRT portfolio.
So what's it going to be, gearheads? Dodge or Ford? PVO or SVT?

Ellerbe's Mill, also known as Millvale, is a historic grist mill complex located near Rembert, Sumter County, South Carolina. The mill was built about 1830, and is a 2 1/2-story pine clapboard building mounted on wooden pilings situated on a 90-acre millpond. Also located on the property is the associated store (1910); the two-story, frame Victorian style main house (c. 1890); several tenant houses; and a dovecote.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

I love dressing up my home for the holidays and that includes creating my own winter container for my front stoop. From grocery stores to garden nurseries, there are plenty of places that sell already-made containers at a reasonable price, but for some reason I just like to design my own (maybe it's the DIYer in me!). It's really not that difficult to do, and I'll show you here how easily I created mine. I've been hitting up Sobeys for the past couple of years for my greenery because it typically sells four bundles for $20 (you can mix them up, too), which is more than enough for a good-sized container. This year I got pine, cedar and boxwood branches. I went with a monochromatic look this season, creating interest through the different textures in the greenery. The first thing I did was insert a black metal obelisk in the centre of the container (which was already filled with soil from my summer arrangement). Here's a detail of the obelisk. I also filled the inside of the obelisk with large pinecones so it wouldn't just be an empty pit in the middle. Then I filled the perimeter of the container with lots of pine and cedar branches, making sure they were evenly mixed throughout. Once I created the base layer with the pine and cedar branches, I filled in the gaps with medium-sized pinecones and layered in sprigs of boxwood. To add a highlight, I placed a few mini faux green apples near the front of the container so they would be visible from the sidewalk. Always make sure to step away every now and then to see if you need to make any adjustments. Here's a bird's eye view of my creation. Note how I also made sure to fill inside the obelisk with extra greenery. It's that easy!


At the 2016 BIO Conference in Richmond, board member Marlene Trestman spoke a bit about her relationship with Louisiana State University Press, which published her biography, Fair Labor Lawyer: The Remarkable Life of New Deal Attorney and Supreme Court Advocate Bessie Margolin. Trestman was neither an academic nor a published author when she began her search for a publisher. But she knew her subject was a good fit for LSU Press's Southern Biography series, since Margolin had grown up in New Orleans, as Trestman had. Trestman contacted the press with an unsolicited query; she did not have a formal proposal, but she did have an article she had written on Margolin that was published in the Journal of Supreme Court History. As an unpublished lawyer, she was thrilled when the press took an interest in her book, even if the offer did not come with an advance. Grants and a cash award for her article on Margolin brought in some money, but not enough to cover her expenses.
Going into the project Trestman knew a university press would not offer her all the support a trade house would. "I knew I wouldn't get much and I got even less," she stated. But balancing out that was the knowledge that she was working with a well-respected press, one that was a perfect fit for her subject.
As she went over her contract with LSU, Trestman realized that she—a lawyer—needed some guidance from someone with a legal background in publishing. She also learned to pick her battles when she wanted to negotiate certain items in the contract. The press ended up giving her what she wanted on several key points. The press was also willing to let her shop the book to trade publishers, after an agent became interested in it, agreeing to keep her on if she couldn't make a deal.
As part of her "getting less," Trestman had to turn in a manuscript that was publication ready; LSU was not going to provide editing or many other services. To help polish her work, Trestman hired a developmental editor the press suggested. That editor did more than copy edit; however, the writing was still all Trestman's. As she wrote the book, she kept in mind her future marketing plan. She asked herself, for instance, "Who is going to love this person as much as I do?" Trestman has found a willing audience among legal and Jewish organizations.
Trestman has arranged book events on her own, and she learned not to rely on LSU Press for support. The press has a "9 to 5" mentality, and rather than having staff there mail out books as needed, she mailed them herself to make sure they reached a destination in time. Despite not getting the help she might have gotten with a trade publisher, Trestman was glad she ended up at LSU Press. "I really achieved what I set out to do," she said, and LSU has already offered to publish her second book without even seeing a proposal.

Q: Force value attribution in a table (R script) I'm calculating particles diameter evolution over time and I'm trying to make the condition that when a particle diameter is less or equal to a minimal diameter the diameter is equal to the minimal fixed value.
I tried with the condition if but it is not working (code showed here bellow) So I would like to do is that from the first time the min diameter is reached what ever the other values are equal to, the min diameter value is attributed to them.
#p is my data frame and dp is diameter values
a <-p$diameter <- p$dp*((Te - p$t)/Te)^0.5
p$vol <- pi*(p$dp*1e-6)^3/6
#diam_min_ma is minimum diameter calculation
b <- diam_min_ma=(0.03*p$vol*6/pi)^(1/3)*1000000
c = if (a >= b)
    {p$diameter=a}
    else
    {p$diameter=b}
p$diameter <- c

This is an example of expected table (DP1,....Dp7 diameter change over time and Dp min is the minimum diameter that can be reached)
DpT1   DpT2   DpT3   DpT4   DpT5   DpT6  DpT7
150    100    75      50     36     36    36   Dp min= 36µm
100    60     45      30     28     28    28   Dp min= 28µm
 60    40     20      20     20     20    20   Dp min= 28µm

A: Finally I found the answer which was to use ifelse instead of what I did.
Which allow to do it for all table rows instead of only the first one
p$diameter <<- ifelse (a >= b,a,b)

Q: Getting debug output in SQL Server Management Studio I'm generating a large script to do a bunch of inserts and updates. When I run it I get some errors, but the error messages don't let me pinpoint the problem - the line numbers are since the last "GO", so I can't find the right line.
I'd like to add calls to my script to a function in T-SQL that will just write to the results window, so I'd have a better idea where the error occurs.

A: PRINT statements as suggested by @kristof would do what you want.
However you could run SQL Profiler side-by-side when you execute the script, catching all classes in the Errors and Warnings section and all SQL:StmtStarting events -- this would mean you wouldn't have to edit your script.

A: You can simply use PRINT in the pleces that you suspect can cause problems
e.g.
print 'Step 1'
insert into tableA -- some code here
...
print 'Step 2'
etc

You can also wrap your code into block of TRY CATCH statements and throw custom errors or print error messages if something goes wrong

The 24-year-old Johannesburg-born batsman – who holds a UK passport as his mum is from Beckenham – began last season playing in the East Anglian Premier League for Suffolk side Woolpit CC but ended it top of Kent's batting averages in the LV= County Championship.
Dickson – who has played First Class and List A cricket for Northerns in South Africa – was recommended to Kent by an agent and made his mark in May by hitting 135 and 65 in a trial game against a strong Yorkshire XI, including England ODI bowler Liam Plunkett, at Polo Farm, Canterbury.
In July, Dickson put signed a deal until September 2016 and after scoring seven centuries in three forms of the game for the 2nd XI – including four in a five-game spell – eventually earned a first-team spot and averaged 56 in four innings at the end of the Division 2 season.
It is the second successive year a Kent player has won the award, with former academy scholar Chris Piesley winning the 2014 prize after a prolific year for Kent and MCC Young Cricketers.
The Les Hatton Trophy is based on performances across all three formats and was first awarded in 1989 and was won that year by J C Pooley of Middlesex.
Dickson said: "I'm delighted to win this award. I'd like to thank Simon Willis for giving me the opportunity and my team-mates for their support since I arrived at Kent.
Dickson, who previously trialled at Somerset during an impressive club cricket summer in 2010, followed in the footsteps of countrymen Martin van Jaarsveld, Ryan McLaren, Andrew Hall, Morne Morkel, Justin Kemp, Wayne Parnell, Makhaya Ntini, Vernon Philander and Tyron Henderson in signing for Kent.

Why is Lisbon's community economic development approach so important in Europe today?
Lisbon has developed a participative model for working in deprived neighbourhoods using the instrument of Community Led Local Development (CLLD) funded by the European Regional Development Fund. There are very few models of urban CLLD across Europe. Lisbon and the Hague are the two best examples. This paper looks in detail at the BIP/ZIP in Lisbon, which has been awarded an URBACT Good Practice Label in 2017.
The Lisbon BIP/ZIP strategy aims to promote social and territorial cohesion, active citizenship, self-organisation and community participation. Lisbon's approach addresses the fracture of communities due to social, economic and environmental issues. When Lisbon started BIP/ZIP in 2010 their main idea was to identify neighbourhoods that were lacking social cohesion and suffered poor socio/economic, urban and environmental conditions. Most of all these areas lacked a meaningful connection between local citizens and the local authorities and so BIP/ZIP sought to build a new relationship through working together on relatively small projects of less than 50,000 EUR to improve conditions. The programme has been running across two EU programme periods starting in 2010 before the new CLLD article in the regulation. It is funded out of the National Operational programme (ERDF).
Lisbon collected statistical information about social, economic, urban and environmental factors to see which areas are the most deprived in the city and Lisbon surveyed these areas; Lisbon identified and mapped the city's social and territorial fractures. This kind of mapping was a first in the city and in the country: a truly innovative concept in 2009-2010, using a scientific data driven approach to identify the real problems facing citizens. Lisbon used national decennial census data and other municipal and government data that is more up-to-date. Lisbon crossed many datasets and maps in order to understand social and territorial dynamics.
Lisbon identified 67 neighbourhoods across the city, mixed between those areas in the peripheral housing estates and those in the historical centre. Altogether the areas cover 141 126 out of a total Lisbon population of 547 733 (approximately a quarter of Lisbon's population).
At the city level there is a Community-Led Local Development network which acts as the Local Action Group. This is an interesting interpretation of the ERDF regulation and is structured to meet the regulation, with no sector having more than 49% of voting membership.
Before BIP/ZIP was launched there was an extended public consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. The idea was to improve the relationship between citizens, NGOs and Council services. Participation both in looking at neighbourhood problems and in promoting innovative solutions is at the heart of the approach.
Although the starting point of definition of the areas is the data, the boundaries are hard to fix because they have to make sense in terms of identity and other factors in the neighbourhoods.
Each year an open call is made to organisations in the 67 areas. The call is normally published in the Spring and is kept open for 3 months. A key eligibility criterion is that an organisation must have at least two sponsor organisations working together. It follows that no applications from single organisations are accepted. The bid can be up to 50 000 EUR and the project must be completed within 12 months and should be sustainable in the long term which is defined as lasting two years after funding ceases. Organisations are required to analyse the situation, build their partnership, establish objectives and results to be achieved and then define activities to achieve these results. The applications are first sieved by the local elected borough council. They do an initial prioritisation before applying to the City-wide programme for approval of their short-listed projects to the municipality.
The programme is open to non-profit organisations and informal groups such as a resident's association. Informal associations have to partner with formal organisations but since each bid has to have a minimum of two partners this is normally not a problem. Lisbon has an online application process and any initiative can apply and will be considered for selection if they satisfy the eligibility rules.
By 2017, Lisbon had received approximately 500 applications and funded more than 230 projects, all of them small initiatives across the city. The budget had been around 9 million euros so far. A total of 400 organisations have been involved in delivering in BIP/ZIP projects in the past five years.
Local offices called GABIPS have been created to support the CLLD process in a selection of area. These bring together municipal officers, elected members and local actors. There are seven of these offices covering 16 of the local areas and ten districts: Padre Cruz, Augis, Mouraria, Boavista (see article on housing in Boavista by Laura Colini), Alto da Eira, Ex-SAAL, and Almirante Reis They help to guide the initiatives and investments in the local areas. They each have a coordinator from the The GABIPs allow the municipality to move decision making to the local scale and share it with local actors.
Lisbon are working on the revision of the BIP/ZIP map based on survey data and will compare it with the previous map to understand how the city has been changing since the start in 2010.
Mouraria illustrates that the CLLD approach with a few projects needs to be complemented by other physical and enterprise initiatives.
Mouraria is a working class, multi-ethnic district close to the centre. By the early 2000s it had become very run-down and has been the target of a range of integrated urban regeneration efforts involving the local community since before the start of the CLLD in Lisbon. There had been major investment in public realm, particularly the squares and streets in the centre of the area as well as Community facilities. One project has profiled well known local characters by featuring their images on the walls.
Mouraria has also been the focus of other policies by the municipality which aims to reinvent Lisbon as an entrepreneurial and innovative city. The city has witnessed an explosion of coworking spaces and incubators in the last decade, supported by the city authorities and increasingly located in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Mouraria Creative hub is located in a former palace and has space for 50 creative entrepreneurs. It is stimulating the creative economy of the city and providing a focal point for local entrepreneurship activity while contributing to regeneration of the neighbourhood economy.
Mouraria illustrates that CLLD can be linked to other city strategies both for regeneration and for enterprise and transport. In Lisbon the BIP/ZIP complements other policy interventions and boosts community engagement more widely. It does not replace or substitute for these other mainstream policies.
Partly because of its location and ambience and partly because city policies have made Mouraria more desirable it now risks becoming a victim of its own success. Some large scale apartment developments are being built. The area is frequently cited in reviews of Lisbon in trendy papers.
A walkshop around the neighbourhood is planned during URBACT City Festival 2018.
BIP/ZIP has become an important policy of the municipality and generated many partnerships at the neighbourhood scale.
Overall, the BIP/ZIP approach to CLLD deployed by Lisbon offers a way forward for urban authorities that want to use the CLLD regulation either as a freestanding tool or as part of an integrated development for a city funded under Article 7 of the ERDF, for example within an Integrated Territorial Investment. BIP/ZIP counters the prevailing paradigm of infrastructure led investment and allows local communities to get important but small-scale projects financed. However, it does not have the resources to combat the wider problems of deprived neighbourhoods, or to address market led initiatives which promote gentrification at the expense of local citizens. These can only be fixed by concerted multi-level action across a wide range of policy areas – many of which are not under the control of cities.
Despite its budget limitations BIP/ZIP shows what is possible to achieve through community led local development. In particular, they have made a sustained effort to engage with local actors to make change happen. Cities all over Europe need to get out of doing things to neighbourhoods in a paradigm supported by the development industry and follow Lisbon in embracing an approach to working with communities and building on their assets.

Riverdale: Afterlife with Archie Fan Theory Update
I've been keeping up to date with Riverdale – which I am continuing to enjoy despite its ups and downs – and I haven't really seen anything that would further suggest that they are going to go down the Afterlife route which is what I said in the original article. It didn't get a lot of traction at the time, in hindsight it was probably a bad time to post the article on reddit considering it was right after the third episode aired in the US and I'd only just finished the second one. However, overnight, for whatever reason, the article blew up and it has had over 1000 views in the last two days alone. Buzzfeed even linked to it in an article which was pretty nice.
With that in mind I would just like to do a quick update going over some new developments in relation to either supporting or disproving the theory that Riverdale will eventually go the Afterlife with Archie zombies route. I wasn't going to do one of these before any more really strong evidence was suggested either way but there have been a few notable advancements which I'd like to sum up.
Going into episode 5, I kind of stopped thinking about the whole zombies thing because nothing really seemed to happen to support it and then this gem of a troll happened at the very start of the flippin episode. You can imagine my reaction right? Considering this turned out to be Cheryl dreaming, I initially thought that this actually disproved the idea that it would go down the Afterlife route, because it's really on the nose and kind of just seems like a nod to the comics. However this seemed to give a few other people the idea that Riverdale would do the whole zombies thing, and now they've gone back and maybe that's why my original article, which was published three weeks ago, started to get some traction. Anyway, I wouldn't really look too much into this other than the fact that the creators are obviously thinking about the whole zombies thing. The first thing you learn as an English/media/film student is that 99% of the time, nothing is put in by accident.
So let's break down the new things we learned, with the main one being the fact that showrunner Roberto Aguirre Sacasa has stated that Sabrina (the teenage witch) is going to appear in the last episode of the 13 episode series. The Sweetwater river, which is the side where everything occurs with Jason, splits the two towns of Riverdale and Greendale where the Sabrina universe is. The creator has specifically said that Sabrina, a character who is almost wholly defined by being a witch, exists in this universe and will only be appearing in the last episode – talk about setting up the next season. Plus the whole symbolism of Jason traveling from the non-magical to the magical side and then returning.
In Afterlife, Jughead's dog Hot Dog is hit and killed by a car. It is Sabrina who resurrects Hot Dog who becomes patient zero in the outbreak. Isn't it also funny how Archie's dog, (I think it's Spot?), is specifically shown at his house yet Jughead's more famous dog Hot Dog is very specifically shown as not existing in Riverdale. There is a quite touching scene where Spot sacrifices himself for Archie in Afterlife as well. Dogs aside, it is not too much of a stretch to see that Sabrina will have something to do with Jason and resurrection, with the reveal being right at the end of the first season thus setting up the next as full blown weird voodoo magic Riverdale.
Considering that we're nearly halfway through the season, and we've learned barely anything more about the killer since episode 2, it suggests that it's not the traditional murder mystery type story that it is pretending to be. There are still huge questions relating to the scene with the coroner and Jason's body. We know: his feet were frozen, he was bound with rope, he was shot in the head and he died a week after the 4th of July which is when Archie/Grundy heard the shot fired which everyone is assuming is the one which killed Jason. The couple of new posts on reddit I've seen have barely mentioned this. There's no way he went missing a week before the 4th of July and then got killed on the day. He has to have been killed a week after the 4th of July.
Then there's Dilton. No one really believes that Dilton is the one that killed Jason, yet he fired the only shot which was heard on the 4th of July, the day Jason went missing and a week before he was killed. I think in coming episodes, they're going to have to go deeper into Dilton firing the gun because that shot couldn't have been the shot which killed Jason because even if he'd been reanimated as a zombie, the headshot would've killed him (also the whole out of place thing with Dilton being a survival nut could very handily work out if Afterlife happens). I still think the most likely explanation, which was mentioned in the first article, is that someone out there (possibly Sabrina) had to tie up a zombie Jason or ended up with him after stuffing up some witchcraft and then was forced to kill him. Somewhere along the way, someone or something got bitten, which will eventually emerge from the woods, leading to the outbreak right at the end of the season, where Sabrina will reveal what happened and the next season will be full blown Afterlife.
Apologies for the long-windedness of this but I haven't seen a very clear summary of the theory as yet. I'll be keeping up to to date with the show and will update with any new info. As always, let me know what you think and have a good one.

A Coen Brothers Critique: Who is Hail, Caesar For?
I just finished watching Hail, Caesar! the latest film to be written, directed and produced by the Coen Brothers. For some reason, I PAID for this film on blu-ray and when it finished all I could think was 'I got nothing out of this'. Now I don't know why I bought the film, I think for some reason I thought it was a Wes Anderson film. Considering that The Grand Budapest Hotel is one of my most favourite films of recent years, I was looking forward to a new Anderson film. But no, just another Coen brothers affair and I'm left dissapointed.
Hail, Caesar! is a day in the life of a big shot producer, Josh Brolin, at a big movie studio in the Golden Age of Cinema, 1950's Hollywood. Now I'm no schmuck, I've studied film and what the Golden Age was like, so I'm not one to miss the references and all that. Also many of the actors in the film I really enjoy, but for the most part, there are so many shoved in that many only have a single scene or two, so there is limited character development or even room for comedy. This has the added overall effect of taking time away from the main plot lines. In the end, I was left feeling like Hail, Caesar! was a fun, kinda quirky historical piece and that was it. I'll probably never think about it again.
Don't get me wrong, for all intents and purposes it's a very well crafted and executed film but there's so little substance, and I know the Coen Brothers films are more about characters than plot, but come on give me something to follow, someone to root for. I think that's the problem with Coen Brother's films, they are well made and unique movies with lots of star power so they're really hard to criticize. I like the fact that they're meant to be for an audience of a certain educational level and you get more out of them the more you watch them. However, this is meant to be a comedy and I barely laughed a single time. I like the actors in the movie, appreciate the characters, understand (most) of the movie industry references and yet I have no reason to watch it again and have no idea who I would recommend this to.
Maybe my expectations were too high, but if someone like me found the film forgettable then who is it for? 1950's cinema historians, the George Clooney Josh Brolin fan club, anyone still alive today who worked in the Golden Age of Cinema? The Coen Brother's could take a lesson out of Anderson's book in that The Grand Budapest Hotel featured a tonne of actors playing oddball characters, yet each was given appropriate screen time for their role, the narrative was charming and engaging and we had likeable characters to root for, oddball characters to laugh at and villainous characters to despise.
Just like Anchorman 2 was criticized for straying into the self-indulgent at times, I feel as though the Coen Brothers are at risk of the same here. Fargo was a fine film, I enjoyed it much more the second time when I understood more about the subverting of cinema conventions in the narrative. The Big Lebowski is a cult classic that I have to watch again, No Country for Old Men was a great film with a strong central plot and Inside Llewyn Davis was a critically lauded film that I'm yet to see. The Coen Brothers make well crafted movies…when they focus on the narrative.
Once again the problem remains, who is Hail, Caesar! for?

Q: Floating child window in WPF I want to create floating child window in .NET 3.0 WPF application.
What I'm doing is:
sideWindow = new SideWindow(this);
sideWindow.Left = System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width -    sideWindow.Width;
sideWindow.Top = 125;
sideWindow.WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.Manual;
sideWindow.Owner = this;
sideWindow.Show();

This is running fine except one customer. According to trace messages the window is created, but the client doesn't see it!
Any idea about similar problems?
Thank you very much.

A: Have you tried using the WPF native:
System.Windows.SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth

I usually use SystemParameters.VirtualScreenWidth which works better with dual monitors.

A: I'm surprised this works at all: sideWindow.Width should be NaN (not a number) when you check it, because the layout passes haven't been performed at that point.
You need to call Measure/Arrange methods on sideWindow.

4.2.2 Pronouns
Pronouns are used to avoid repeating nouns and to supply the subjects for verbs. I, me, we and us are known as the first person pronouns, you is the second person pronoun, and he, him, she, her, it, they and them are third person pronouns in English. In Latin, pronouns are used only when really necessary for the sense of a sentence, or sometimes for emphasis. Often, a pronoun subject, such as I, you or she, can be understoo
4.2.1 Nouns
Nouns are used to name people, places, things or concepts, for example Cicero, Italy, tree, happiness. Most nouns can be singular or plural, for example tree, trees. They each belong to a certain gender, masculine, feminine or neuter (from Latin neuter, neither). In English, nouns have natural gender; for example, boatsman is masculine, woman is feminine, student is of common gender (either masculine or feminine), and university and b
4.2 Parts of speech
In describing the grammar of written Latin, the best method is to use the traditional classical grammar, as worked out by the Greeks and Romans themselves. As a preliminary, it may be useful to learn the 'parts of speech' in English. A very brief explanation follows, and then a much fuller discussion.
By the end of this unit you should have:
an awareness of the links between English and Latin;
an understanding of basic English grammar in order to recognise and describe the way languages work;
an awareness of the fundamentals of pronunciation in Latin.
You have now had an opportunity to examine the poetry of Sorley Maclean. This should have helped you gain an increased sense of the power of Maclean's poetry both in the English and in its original Gaelic.
The provision of the English translations and the discussion by the poet himself during the interview with Ian Critchton-Smith should have increased your understanding of the English texts.
2.3 After the recording
It follows that sorting MacLean's poems out by 'themes' entails the risk of disguising the tight interlocking of 'Politics', 'Love', 'Landscape', 'War' and 'History' in all his poetry down to 1945. Nevertheless, for convenience's sake, I will do this.
2.1.2 The poems
Your reading in this unit has already prepared you to some extent, but please read the following poems (both the English and Gaelic versions are given) which are discussed in the recordings, and then listen to the recordings.
Kinloch Ainort
A company of mountains, an upthrust of mountains
a great garth of growing mountains
a concourse of summits, of knolls, of hills
1.3 MacLean's Celtic roots
MacLean was born in 1911 in Osgaig, a small township on the Isle of Raasay, adjacent to Skye, the larger island where he went to school. His childhood was dominated by a majestic landscape. The woods of Raasay and the peaks of the Cuillin Hills on Skye are as central to his poetic universe as the hills of Cumbria to Wordsworth's. His father and mother combined work on a small croft with a tailoring business. The latter was severely hit by the great depression of the 1930s, and the family's re
1.2 Grasping Gaelic
Please read the following poems by Sorley MacLean (linked below): 'The Turmoil', 'Kinloch Ainort', 'Heroes', 'Death Valley', 'A Spring', and 'She to Whom I Gave…'. Some of the poems have both Gaelic

2.3 The pervasive influence of Enlightenment
You will find in this unit in one form or another the pervasive influence of the Enlightenment. Sometimes this influence is buried in deeply ambiguous texts such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's (1756–91) opera Don Giovanni (1787), which includes a famous toast to 'liberty'. The opera is seen by some as an attempt to subject to critical scrutiny the behaviour of at least one member of a corrupt eighteenth-century aristocracy and the social or class structure that facilitated h
10 Hold that space!
The caesura is the stress which falls at a moment of silence. It's the equivalent of a musical rest and is usually delineated by punctuation. Composers and poets recognise the importance of the space between notes.
The house that Jack or Jill might build
We know that poems
are made of lines
and lines need line-
breaks,
which we've already discussed.
7 Other rhyming techniques
Near- or half rhymes are words or combinations of words that achieve only a partial rhyme. Half rhymes can be between words with just one syllable, or between parts of words, for example where the accented syllables rhyme with each other, but other syllables in the word don't rhyme. For instance: cover–shovel; wily–piling, calling–fallen; wildebeest–building.
Assonant rhyme refers to echoing vowel sounds, eith
5.4 Tercets
The following poem is written in tercets.
There's no one here at the moment
It happens once, in his absence.
The bright hall rings, rings and, mid-ring,
clicks back over into silence.
It leaves two isolated sighs,
hers, momentarily frozen
before an ocean of blank space
that by nightfall he'll come across
and save against the backdrop of
5.3 Stanzas and verse
The poem 'The literal and the metaphor', which you read in Section 5.1, was divided into two sections. We call these verses or stanzas, and they are the poetic equivalent of paragraphs, but with more shape, weight and focus than the prose equivalent. Stanzas are like islands encircled by shores. Or,
3 What is poetry?
We can possibly best define what poetry is by saying what it isn't. For one thing, poetry, unlike prose, cannot be paraphrased. If you could sum it up succinctly in any other fashion you wouldn't write the poem. One can talk about the theme of a poem, for instance, but it's the poem itself which conveys the ultimate effect. A poem is the best possible expression of what the poet wants to say. Some might say that the form and content of art, in this case poetry, is untranslatable.
This unit introduces common techniques underlying free verse and traditional forms of poetry, and how it is necessary to use these techniques in order to harness what T.S. Eliot called the 'logic of the imagination' (Eliot, 1975, p. 77). We discuss the possibility of using your own experience, but also the power of imagination, and of utilising different personae in your poems. You are also introduced to the basic terminology and practical elements of poetry – the line, line-breaks, sta

4.2 Naturalism and reductive explanation
There is a widespread commitment among contemporary philosophers and scientists to a naturalistic view of the world. In broad terms, naturalism is the view that everything is scientifically explicable – to put it crudely, that there are no miracles. (Note that I am using 'naturalism' here for a metaphysical position – a view about the nature of the world. It is also used for a methodological position – a view about how the world, or some aspect of it, should be

Az energiahordozó olyan anyag vagy jelenség, amivel mechanikai munka valamint hő állítható elő illetve általa vegyi vagy fizikai eljárások működtethetők és/vagy fűthetők (definíció az ISO 13600 szerint). Környezetvédelmi szempontból kiemelkedőek azok, amelyek megújulásra képesek vagy használatuk nem akadályozza a további keletkezésüket.
Az anyagból kinyert energia átalakítása illetve felhasználása nincs térhez kötve és bármikor alkalmazható akár a közlekedésben, iparban vagy egyéb energiafelhasználással járó tevékenységeinknél. Energiatárolók egyaránt lehetnek mesterségesen előállítottak vagy természetből nyerhetőek, az ilyen közvetítők lehetnek például rugók, elektromos akkumulátorok, kondenzátorok, sűrített levegő, gátak mögött tárolt víz, hidrogén, kőolaj, szén, fa, a földgáz stb.

Energiahordozó gyakorlatilag minden olyan anyag vagy rendszer lehet, melynek átalakításával később kinyerhető energiához jutunk és ezt például egy készülék vagy a jármű segítségével saját, vagy a környezetünk hasznára fordíthatjuk.

Napjainkban a környezet tudatos életre való igény mind inkább előtérbe helyezi például a hidrogén energiahordozót, és a többi úgyszintén nem elhanyagolható fontosságú megújuló energiaforrásokat. Villamos energia raktározására a hidrogén a megfelelő technikai háttér biztosítását követően kiválóan alkalmas lehet. Mivel a felhasználása túl költséges, ezért a hidrogénautó és a háztartási generátor inkább csak demonstrációszerűen van jelen, főleg a nyugati társadalmakban. Európa és a fejlett ipari országok jelenleg több energiát fogyasztanak, mint amit megtermelnek. Egyes vélemények szerint a jövőben a hatékonyság jelentős javulása mellett, az energiafogyasztás másfélszeresére nő, melyet leginkább a fosszilis energiaforrások (ezen belül a szénfelhasználás) növekedése fedezi. A Föld készlete a hagyományos energiahordozók (mint a szén, a szénhidrogének vagy az atomenergia) terén véges. Különösen a szénhidrogének mennyisége aggasztó. A jelenlegi technológiával meghajtott gépkocsik üzemeltetéséhez nélkülözhetetlen kőolajból legfeljebb száz évre, de pesszimistább számítások szerint csak három évtizedre elegendő tartalék áll az emberiség rendelkezésére. Az energiahordozókból termelt energia előállítása gyakran szennyezi vagy nagy mértékben veszélyezteti környezetünk állapotát. Ezek a tényezők külön-külön is indokolják az alternatív energiaforrások elterjedését.

Az energiahordozók besorolása

I Primer energiahordozók (természetből kinyert energiahordozók)

 Meg nem újítható fosszilis energiahordozók Pl. szén, kőolaj, földgáz,
 Primer, de nem fosszilis Pl. urán
 Megújuló energiahordozók Pl. szél, víz, hullám erőmű, biomassza, geotermális erőmű

II Szekunder energiahordozók (az elsődleges energiahordozók átalakításából nyerjük)

 Pl. elektromos áram,
 kőolaj lepárlás termékei közül: gázolaj (dízelolaj), benzin, petróleum, pakura
 szénlepárlás termékei: koksz, széngáz
 sűrített levegő
 hidrogén
 biogáz

Az energiagazdaság okozta környezeti problémák

A fogyó fosszilis energiahordozók növekvő kitermelése globális energiaválságot eredményez. Környezetszennyezést súlyosbítja például az energiahordozók fokozódó elégetése, hatásai pl. az üvegházhatás, savas esők ennek következtében termőterületek elvesztése, védett fajok kipusztulása ehhez hozzá járulnak a lokális károkozások mint külszíni bányászat, tájrombolás (pl. meddőhányók) vezetékek telepítése, talajszennyezés. A vizek szennyezésénél tengeri kitermelés, tankerhajók balesetei, hulladék-elhelyezés problémái okoznak gondot.
Az ártalmak mérséklésre lehetőség az energiatakarékosság melyet elérhetünk korszerűbb kisebb energiaigényű technológia alkalmazásával. Az elhagyott bányaterületek rekultiválása, újrahasznosítása.

We adopted Max (GSR Name Quinby) last April. He has been a great addition to our family. I am so thankful to GSROC for being there to rescued him. When we got him he was 5 months old, now he is 14 months old. 42 lbs when we adopted, he is now 84 lbs. When we adopted him his back legs were still growing and he looked a little pigeon toed, but his legs are now stronger than ever and look great. He is sweet, charming, handsome and playful. Our 2 yr old Shepherd, April, and Max get along so good. They enjoy each others company. Richard and I take them to the park, dog beach, and walks. They love going on car rides, Max is always the first to jump in the Durango. Max loves to play frisbee, he actually leaps in the air to catch it. He can play frisbee until he drops if we let him. We call April lightning and Max thunder, if you saw them run together you would understand, she is light and her feet and you can almost feel the ground rumble when Max runs. I could go on forever about Max and April, but I will close for now. I am attaching a picture of him for your enjoyment. He is the Shepherd up close. Isn't he adorable?!


We all know the economy is tanking and so for many of us belts must be tightened. The prudent thing to do is to reduce all discretionary spending, which probably means the family travel budget should be curtailed. Curtailed, yes – but not necessarily eliminated. Those of us for which travel is a necessity/priority just have to be a bit more thrifty about it.
The flip side to all the economic doom and gloom is that there are some amazing travel deals being offered at the moment. Hotels, airlines, cruise ships and attractions around the world are clamoring for your business, promoting freebies, extras, credits and discounts that are hard to resist. That is, if you can find them.
It's not always easy to tap into the best deals out there – especially for busy parents who don't have a lot time on their hands for labyrinthine internet research. So why not put the web to work for you? Here's a site that will spoon feed travel bargains right to your inbox.
If you're flexible, open minded, spontaneous and prepared to yank the kids out of school to jump on an affordable travel opportunity, sign up for Travel Zoo's Top 20. Each week you'll be sent a free list of great values on flights, hotels, cruises, car rentals, vacation packages, shows and events around the world (you can hone it to the Americas, Asia Pacific or Europe editions).
If you know where you'd like to go, you can easily search to or from a specific destination on the homepage. If you want to just focus in on specials in your area, sign up for their geo-targeted News Flash alerts or click the Deals Near You box that plots relevant offerings on a map. Not all are necessarily family-oriented, but you never know when you'll find something that'll catch your fancy and fit your budget.
Travel Zoo combs hundreds travel sites to select the best discounts, saving you the leg work (or should that be finger work) of clicking and digging around yourselves. Furthermore, real live human "test bookers" verify prices, availability and ease of booking, so you can be confident the listings aren't going to be misleading or stale. You may have to act fast, however – some of the last minute deals are snapped up quickly.

What Beacon Partners' new COO will be watching in Charlotte's commercial real estate market
By Ashley Fahey | Staff Writer Charlotte Business Journal
Charlotte real estate firm Beacon Partners, which has been prolific in developing boutique mixed-use product and industrial parks in the region, has bulked up its leadership capacity by appointing its first chief operating officer.
Doug Irmscher began his role as COO on Jan. 2 after having spent the last portion of his career as JLL's market director in Florida, where he oversaw six business lines and a portfolio of 30 million-plus square feet. Prior to that, Irmscher was at Duke Realty Corp., where he served as senior vice president for the company's central Florida operations.
Irmscher saw the position at Beacon as an opportunity to get back on the ownership side of commercial real estate, he said. As COO, he will lead day-to-day operations, provide additional leadership capacity and expand impact in the community, he said.
Beacon has recently embarked on some changes as a company, including a rebranding effort, new office space and a business plan for the real estate firm's future. Part of that includes doing more build-to-suit development, such as Corning Optical Communication's headquarters in northeast Charlotte, versus speculative development, of which Beacon's portfolio is primarily comprised.
Irmscher is still settling into his new role and developing specific goals for Beacon but said looking for efficiencies within the company, particularly from a technology standpoint, will definitely be one goal. He said he anticipated office and industrial development — Beacon's bread and butter — to continue to be key focus areas but noted that Beacon is small, private and entrepreneurial.
"It doesn't have to fit into a certain box like big institutional players do," he said.
Being new to Charlotte, what's your initial perspective of the commercial real estate market here?
Obviously, Florida's a huge growth market with a lot of new development construction ... the first time I spent any considerable time here in Charlotte, I was amazed at the amount of growth and development that's occurring, both in uptown and in South End. In some (other) markets, when you look at an uptown or a South End, you'll see growth maybe on the office or retail side, but the fact that you're seeing office, retail and multifamily, all three of those sectors (active), is amazing. That caught my eye.
On the industrial side, over the last number of years, larger distribution requirements are coming to Charlotte and the greater MSA. A lot of that is because of the impact of e-commerce. Charlotte has similar players from an institutional and REIT perspective as you do in Florida. In Charlotte, you also have strong, local regional developers and owners that go hand-in-hand.
What are you keeping an eye on over the next year or so?
Most people in the real estate industry look at the key barometers — unemployment rate, population growth, labor cost, construction cost. From my perspective, the key barometer is job growth. Obviously, Charlotte has seen an enormous amount of job growth. I don't see it slowing down. There's growth from millennials and a pretty diverse base for jobs, which is obviously very healthy.
What are potential headwinds or points of concern?
It feels like, at least in the Southeast ... obviously, there's a healthy amount of new development but it all seems to be in check with demand. It doesn't feel like there is overbuilding going on in any of the sectors; there seems to be enough demand to support it. But it's something that everybody is going to watch as you get developers and owners that maybe are struggling to put money into some of the big markets. Do they come to markets like Charlotte and so forth? Keeping an eye on outside investment.
