This article comprises Part 2 of our Daggers analysis, where we focus on casters who will be looking to transmogrify their Main Hand. Since we've already covered the basics in Part 1, we're going to get right to the charts and our Editors' Picks here in Part 2.
|Differentiation Analysis: Daggers Eligible for Main Hand
If you've reviewed our chart for dual wield items, you'll notice a few weapons here have been downranked. The item we called out in Part 1 of our Daggers review, the Dagger of the Rising Moon, if you recall, was ranked as "exclusive", whereas here it has been downranked.
If you're new to Disenchanting Azeroth and our methodologies here, we encourage you to take a read through Part 1 of our Daggers analysis for a more in-depth introduction to the visuals you will encounter below.
The primary reason for this is the fact that any One Hand or Main Hand Dagger can be transmogrified onto a Main Hand Dagger, making transmogrification onto Main Hand items much easier to accomplish. Rising Moon shares its model with two Main Hand Daggers, therefore enabling three different ways to acquire the model for a Main Hand transmogrification, so we've downranked it for casters.
As you can see, only one Dagger model (top row) is ineligible for Main Hand transmogrification, and that's Rolfsen's Ripper. This particular Off Hand-only model is currently the only model on live servers that carries this constraint. There looks to be another on the way from the new 5-man dungeons being introduced in 4.3, but we'll get to that in a moment below.
While we were assembling these charts, not only were the three Deathwing raid models revealed, but we happened upon three more Daggers in the PTR files from the upcoming 5-man dungeons. We've just learned WoWhead has the current tooltips on these so we'll be able to provide some links on them below. As we mentioned, one of them looks to be another Off Hand-only model, one that once on live servers would be only the second Dagger in-game with such a transmogrification constraint. Unfortunately, it's pretty unique too which is a bit of a bummer. Rolfsen's wasn't such a big loss because from a visual positioning standpoint, it's similar to a number of other Daggers.
|Dagger models being introduced in 4.3
Top left: Unknown, Deathwing
Middle Left: OH Mandible of the Old Ones
Bottom Left: 1H Fanged Tentacle
Top Right: Unknown, Deathwing
Middle Right: 1H Jagged Edge of Time
Bottom Right: Unknown, Deathwing
You'll note below in our Visual Positioning matrix (click for larger image) that each one of these Daggers, with the exception of the Jagged Edge (45, 38), are positioned extremely well in terms of their ability to maintain their identity among other Daggers in-game.
|Visual Positioning Analysis: Daggers Eligible for Main Hand
|Visual Positioning Analysis: "Exclusive" Models
And as we do in each of our reviews, let's cross reference the "exclusive" models from our Differentiation chart with their locations on our Visual Positioning matrix (click for larger image).
As we said in Part 1, there's pretty good diversity in the Daggers category, and there are just a few clusters of parity identified here.
If you're planning to transmogrify a Main Hand Dagger, we hope you'll find value in the charts we've assembled here. If you're looking for some kickstarter ideas, we've included our Editors' Picks below.
Feel free to pull from the Daggers we identified in Part 1 of our Daggers analysis as well, because many of them would have been suitable recommendations for us to make here in Part 2, such as the Warp Splinter's Thorn.
For the purposes of differentiating both sets of EPs, we're introducing 10 new picks below. A few of them are technically eligible for dual wielding, and we would have no issue taking those particular Daggers and leveraging them for dual wielding. Again, there is pretty solid diversity in the Daggers landscape, so there is quite a bit of unique content to pull from.
Bows are on deck, and if you're curious what the outcome of our "which bow is more extroverted" poll, we had 200 voters post the following results:
93 votes for: B) Deathwing Raid Bow (PTR files)
Stay tuned for our Bows Visual Positioning matrix to see if we agree with you!
The following items are in no particular order:
1. Talon of the Tempest, a potential drop from Doomwalker, a rare spawn raid boss in Shadowmoon Valley. Apologies in advance for the poor image, this is one of the more challenging weapons for which to capture an accurate image. This weapon and its sister model, the Starlight Dagger, are actually dazzling in-game.
2. Chilled Heart of the Glacier, a potential drop from The Captain's Chest in the Halls of Reflection. This Dagger is worth revisiting because there's nothing else quite like it in-game, and it is a hallmark caster model since it is Main Hand only.
3. Rib Spreader, a potential drop from Rotface in Icecrown Citadel. We like this model and a few more below for casters, in particular, because as fantastic as their look may have been for you as you progressed through Icecrown Citadel, there was never any reason for you to equip them because the models all had melee stats. Now is your chance to snag some of these items with gusto during a retro raid, because not only will they be fresh for you, but they rank quite well as part of our visual positioning.
4. The Maelstrom's Fury, a potential drop from High Warlord Naj'entus in Black Temple. A nice feature of this particular blade is the glowing yellow orb hovering tethered to the crescent cutout in the form. Just make sure you bring a buddy when you visit Naj'entus to deal with those spines. Naj'entus is an interesting NPC if you do a bit of reading up on him over at WoWWiki. When we came across this blade and did a bit of reading up on this Naga Anomaly, he gave us pause to tweet out to our followers that if Naga, indeed, are potentially playable characters at some point in the future, they may not be the Naga as we've come to know them in-game. They may simply be some stage of Naga Anomaly that we haven't seen yet. An intriguing tangent... sorry to digress.
5. Heaven's Fall, Kryss of a Thousand Lies (H), a potential drop from The Lich King on Heroic Mode in Icecrown Citadel. Like the Rib Spreader, we like this item as a bit of a trophy for casters. Down the Lich King in heroic mode and then transmogrify your caster blade into this baddie to show it off to your melee buddies that never acquired it in Wrath. Envy aside, it stands fluid enough in its details to shift it away from the parity of its peers, and is a rare item in itself so it should maintain its identity going forward.
6. Crux of the Apocalypse, a potential drop from Kil'jaeden in The Sunwell. A weapon with a lot of intriguing potential for matching it to the rest of your gear, this Dagger has a few cousins with a similar aesthetic but they are single blades, whereas this gives you a pair of symmetrical blades. As we mentioned in our dual wield article, check out the Visual Roleplay Gear List for some suggestions to marry with this elegant item. It also has a nice little bursting particle effect from its core.
7. Runed Dagger of Solace, a potential drop from Thorngrin the Tender in The Botanica. Another Main Hand model that has historically been held out of melee's reach, we like the idea of continuing that trend by recommending it here. It's not a dual wield option for melee, so it's likely to be overlooked.
8. Alysra's Razor (H), a potential drop from Alysrazor in the Firelands on Heroic Mode. Shadow Priests, get your form on and celebrate your purple side with the heroic version of this blade from the Firelands. It's otherwise been reserved for melee, so now's your chance!
9. Boundless Agony, a potential drop from Azgalor in Hyjal Summit, Caverns of Time. Another previously reserved for melee, Warlocks we believe this one's got your name on it. If it drops and melee gives you flack about rolling on it, feel free to send them our way.
10. Claw of Chromaggus, a potential drop from Chromaggus in Blackwing Lair. With so many claw/tooth items available, it's interesting that one of the more extroverted among them is Main Hand only. Celebrate this, casters, by heading back to BWL and pressing your luck with Chromaggus. It may not be a look you maintain over time, but it definitely has value in the short-term because of its unique look.
And if you must: Malchazeen, a potential drop from Prince Malchezaar in Karazhan. If you're a player that prefers something unique but would like to use something a bit more subtle than what we've recommended, then consider Malchazeen. It's caught in the midst of a cluster of weapons in our visual positioning, but that said Malchazeen has a very stable aesthetic that does well to differentiate itself from other Daggers with similar form language.

After being charged with the task of hiring 200 people for a Canadian insurance company, Sean Fahey thought he could make the hiring process more efficient.
"I just realized that if I was going to do it the old-fashioned way—by looking at résumés, doing phone calls and meeting people in person—it was going to take forever. I needed a tool that would filter, rank, sort, video interview and check the references of my candidates" in order to streamline the hiring process and identify top talent quickly and easily, Fahey says.
The process he developed to carry out the task of hiring 200 people became the foundation for VidCruiter, which develops video recruiting software and other hiring platforms.
VidCruiter's hiring process filters, ranks and sorts applicants for clients in order of most qualified, just like any other applicant tracking system, says Fahey, 32. But he says the difference between traditional applicant tracking systems and his process is that VidCruiter allows companies to brand their job applications with informational videos that engage the applicant and focus on selling the company to the candidate.
Fahey also says his product can help employers locate that elusive "perfect candidate" faster than traditional applicant tracking systems, which he thinks filter too much and eliminate qualified candidates. With VidCruiter, "it's not like if you don't say the magic word your résumé won't show up, which is what a lot of systems are based on," Fahey says.
VidCruiter's hiring platform isn't the only thing driving the company's success, Fahey says. The CEO attributes much of his company's success to persistence and innovation, which he seeks to engender through various tactics such as a hands-off, minimal management style and fostering what he calls a learning culture.
"If I feel there's a book you should read that would be beneficial to your learning and improving, I'll pay you to read the book," he says.

Women love to shop…in a STORE! Amiright, ladies?:
Given the stereotype of how much women love shopping, you'd expect them to be the biggest spenders online.
Apparently, it isn't so. According to data gathered from a study of 1,550 "social gamers on Boston-based MocoSpace's mobile entertainment platform":
"69 percent of the males buy virtual goods and only 31 percent of females do."
On top of that, those male gamers are responsible for 90 percent of virtual goods that are purchased inside the games.
So there you have it, folks. Men love shopping (for intangible objects purchased solely for use in online gaming communities), too!!!
The gap between men and women is ever-narrowing.
Attention, shoppers: Men outspend women 9 to 1 on mobile virtual goods [VentureBeat]

Trouble in IRONMAN Paradise?
Pro Matt Lieto remembers a race that almost went awry, and explains why it's so important to keep on keepin' on.
by Matt Lieto
Seven-hundred meters into my first IRONMAN attempt, I was swimming smooth long strokes, just off of the lead swimmers and leading the chase pack at IRONMAN Coeur d'Alene. And then … Whack. My calf locks up. I stretch it while maintaining my stroke, but … Whack. There it goes again. I plead to my body, "Please, please, not this, not now."
I visualized my first IRONMAN many ways, and this scenario never came up. I had to just let the calf cramp go and I got through a lap still fighting my way onto the chase group. The second lap was full of panic. I held onto a few buoys, a few boats and had a few volunteers offer to take me off course—not the way you want your first IRONMAN and second race as a pro to go. Not. Good.
At 3500 meters in, my entire left leg locked and I was floating on my back in pain and utter disbelief. I looked around at the beauty, and what was going on around me, remembering one thing: I wanted to be an IRONMAN. With all the goals and dreams I had for my first time, nothing mattered more than being a part of this community. So, I swam.
All of us have struggles in races. That "thing" that just happens. Sometimes it can occur out of not being prepared, and sometimes it can occur with all of the forethought in the world. I'll tell you one thing I have learned from all these years racinG: The "perfect race" usually does not happen. IRONMAN is so long and such a brutal race that obstacles are bound to come your way. The athlete who adapts the best is the athlete who will win, or have that personal record. The athlete who sulks in his or her misfortune likely will not have a dream race.
Did Andreas Raelert drop out or sulk after he got mugged in the swim at IRONMAN Hawaii, for example? No. He kept going and finished 3rd. Chrissie Wellington waited a seemingly endless time with a flat tire on the side of the road when she was supposed to be riding away to victory at Kona. Nope, she didn't throw the towel in either. She fixed the problem and went on her way to another World Championship title.
Adaptation is the game once these situations come up. Acknowledge the problem, do your best to fix it, and, if possible, continue. Think outside of the box. Communicate with volunteers and race officials. Try to find a solution. Above all else, maintain your composure. If it is a problem that could take some time, breathe, eat and drink. Do all you can to ensure that once you are able to continue with your race, you are ready to do so to the best of your abilities.
Take a look at goal IRONMAN finish times because often they can have a broad range depending on conditions. So what is 15 minutes trying to fix a broken spoke going to do in the end? Likely not much. The key is composure. Once you find your way back onto the course, it is very important to stick to the original—although now clearly altered—plan. Do not try and overextend yourself for the next hour trying to make up time. Mark the time lost down, if you have to, but whatever you do, don't be a hero. Be smart and be smooth in the continuance of your journey.
Even though sometimes we think these things that happen to us are "bad luck," a lot of the time they can be avoided with good old-fashioned planning and preparation. Always maintain and check your bike equipment before you leave for your race. Do not race on the tires you put 3,000 miles on while training. (You know, the ones with all the slits and glass in them.) With a little forethought, the crazy last-minute rushes at race site and possible "mechanicals" on race day can be skirted. If you have to have your bike fixed or need a tune-up, do so at least 10 days out from the race so you know all is in proper working order. Train as close to race conditions as possible so you know what you are in store for. Eat and drink what you hope to on race day so you know your body can handle what you put in it. Do some long runs in your race shoes before the race. Basically, don't do anything on race day that you haven't done in training—besides the entire IRONMAN distance, of course.
In my first IRONMAN, I finally found my way out of the water, although I was much slower than planned to be. I did get a chuckle in transition when Paula Newby-Fraser announced me as possibly being hit by a boat by the way I was dragging my leg behind. In that moment, I made a promise to myself that I would forget my issues for the day and move forward. I went back to my original plan, had a solid bike and I ran every step of the marathon, which was a big goal for a newbie runner. After what I thought could have been a nightmare of a day nine hours earlier, I ended up finishing 8th, qualifying for Kona! It was a crazy and emotional finish for me. It felt every bit how I thought it would to hear Mike Reilly say those iconic words, "Matt Lieto, You are an IRONMAN!"
After the race, I was in the athlete area trading stories with a buddy when another friend came by and could not stop talking about how his race was ruined by a dropped chain. I asked him at what mile and how long did it take. He responded that it occurred at mile 20 and took less than a minute to fix. It was only then that I finally remembered my own troubles and how drastic I thought they were at the time. He, on the other hand, let a minor mishap stay in his mind and truly effect his entire experience at IRONMAN. That was the day I learned no matter what happens in a race, to keep on keepin' on.
IronmanLive host Matt Lieto finished third at IRONMAN 70.3 Hawaii in 2010 and 2011 and, in 2009, was fifth at IRONMAN Lake Placid. Don't miss his post about first discovering IRONMAN.

So I think it no accident as I was taking one cd out and putting another in that I heard the short clip on a minister's personal dilemma on assisting with a funeral where a young man died from AIDs found here: Story Corp. My daugher's godfather, Michael Callahan, died from AIDS and it always feels like a punch in the gut when I hear about more death associated with this disease. But, this quote, "You know, everything good that I've been able to accomplish has started with some kind of a burden," Williams says. "And AIDS burdened me. So reluctantly, I did the funeral...." drove through all the sadness, and confusion of my Peoria decision and sat right in front of me as I drove up the large hill near Printer's Alley downtown Nashville, TN.
His story, cut and paste here, is truly motivating. I hope mine can be for someone someday as well.
A Life's Ministry Springs From A Dilemma Over AIDS
The Rev. Eric Williams and his colleague Jannette Berkley-Patton visited StoryCorps in Kansas City, Mo., where they discussed a funeral that shaped Williams' future.
In those days, Williams was a young pastor who had only recently taken charge of his own church — Calvary Temple Baptist Church in Kansas City, Mo. He had been ordained in 1988.
"I got a call from a local funeral home," says Williams, 56. The woman on the other end of the line told him, "I've got a really big favor that I want to ask."
The favor had to do with a young man who had just died.
"He'd been a member of the church all his life," Williams recalls. "His parents were very active in church. Mom sang in the choir. At any rate, he's 25 years old, and he died of AIDS. And he just happened to be gay."
The woman from the funeral home told Williams that when the man's "pastor found out how he died, he said, 'Well you know, I am not going to do the funeral. And it can't happen in our church.' "
Williams was asked to perform the service. And as he tells his colleague Jannette Berkley-Patton at StoryCorps, "I didn't want to do it."
"It's not appropriate for one pastor to go against what another pastor has said" in his own church, Williams recalls thinking at the time.
"And I was perfectly all right with that — until I went home and started thinking about this family.
"You know, everything good that I've been able to accomplish has started with some kind of a burden," Williams says. "And AIDS burdened me. So reluctantly, I did the funeral.
"I met the parents of this kid," he recalls. "And you know, I was used to black dads disowning their gay sons. That was the thing to do: 'My son can't be gay.'
"But not this family. This father and this mother, they celebrated his life. They embraced all of his friends."
In the years that followed, Williams became an advocate for those with HIV/AIDS, organizing prayer and information sessions. He's also urged other pastors to take up the cause and spread awareness. And it all started with that "favor," and the funeral that followed.
"You know, they taught me more about unconditional love in that little experience than any of the Sunday school books and any of the courses in seminary, or any of it," Williams says. "And that was the event that kind of rearranged my life."

CPL Online started developing e-learning courses in 2008. In the five years that have passed, we have grown into a reputable company, providing online training for a large section of the hospitality industry and other industries besides.
We have expanded from e-learning courses into new services, such as intranet design development to meet the changing demands of a growing customer base.
So, what is an 'intranet'? An intranet is a unique and interactive data sharing and communication package, which can provide a socially intuitive and engaging website for an entire business.
The intranets we provide are visually stunning; we can create anything you want for your intranet, whether it's an exact replica of your organisation or another world completely; providing users with an engaging experience that allows them to access data, images, videos and other resources in an entertaining yet informative manner. We achieve this by creating a highly detailed bespoke user interface that retains the user's interest and aides them when navigating through the system, creating a high-level of interactivity.
Other benefits of the internet service are the sophisticated communication package, which offers multiple forms of contact between users, an easy-access system that is available to users from any internet access point and complete data integration of a company's interfaces, which to brings all the information a business needs into one central location.
To learn more about the intranet service we provide at CPL Online, please follow the link to our website here
The first intranet we ever created was for Stonegate Pub Company, which was launched in October 2012 and is a vibrant, online communal point for the company's 560 sites across the UK.

This Sunday six women from the CPL Training Group supported the charity Cancer Research through the UK event "Race for Life".
Race for Life is the second charity campaign CPL has been involved in this year (the last one being Red Nose Day) and it has provided an excellent opportunity for everyone in the company to get involved with the event; whether they were racing or not.
The charity campaigns help to bring everyone together - not just across the Group - but those that work in separate divisions within CPL Online. Events like Race for Life give employees the chance to integrate and create a good working atmosphere. Of course, producing great products like our e-learning courses is something to take pride in, but to see everyone in your company get along with each other is something else.
The campaigns also raise company awareness through social media; our Facebook page has seen over a 300% rise in likes and interactions (e.g. people talking about the page) in the past seven months, and the highest peaks are usually around the same time we upload pictures from charity events.
All in all, I am very proud of the girls. They've come together to raise money and awareness for a good cause under the banner of CPL, and I wish them all the best for next year's Race for Life event.
You can read more about CPL's involvement in the Race for Life event here

As you know, CPL Online has been expanding across three units now for several months, and everyone is settling in nicely; including all our new starters – welcome James (junior data engineer), Brian (junior web developer) Kristy (junior web developer) and Matt (junior animator).
Now we are coming to the final frontier of the expansion: finishing our original dwelling in the front unit and establishing our digital media team.
The digital media team is to be established by September; their aim is to bring another level of technological advancement within CPL Online. The team will work mainly in the green screen room in Unit 1, were all our company videos will be produced professionally in-house; which will aid towards the development of our current and new e-learning course, plus our online products.
As you can see from this YouTube video clip (please follow the link: http://youtu.be/kmu6WTYjfQM), the digital media team will be directing CPL Online into new areas of 3D animation - and we can't wait to see the results!
To keep updated with the expansion and CPL Online's activities in general, please follow us on Twitter @cplelearning and like our Facebook Page

There's a bit of a fashion trend going on at CPL Online at the minute, and it's called Custom.
Since January 2012 we have provided 50% of our clients with custom consoles, and 30% of those clients also have had custom courses created that cover compliant topics relevant to their company. For example, Stonegate Pub Company worked with us to create their company induction course 'Albert's Law', which prepares new employees before they begin their job at a Stonegate site; ensuring that everyone is safe and legal. But why are companies going bespoke?
Firstly, people don't want a 'one size fits all' approach; they want their product to be extraordinary and individual. By creating something unique, whether it's a website or indeed an e-learning course, it creates a talking point amongst employees, customers and competitors.
However, the most obvious reason for the Custom trend for us is training related. Training is perceived as a mundane task by most people and by providing a remedy to the boredom companies would not have to worry about pushing their employees into compliancy. Custom consoles and courses not only provide online, interactive training that create a high-quality learning experience, they also emphasise company branding and reaffirm the ethos of our client's company.
Within all our client's custom consoles you will find colours, images, logos, plus additional bespoke features such as buttons that are tailored to match their company branding and ensure fluidity throughout marketing. The familiar branding throughout the console ensures employees immediately recognise their training platform and that they associate their company and their online training as a collective entity.
At CPL Online we are committed to supporting the development of learners. Our bespoke e-learning platforms are the most efficient way for companies to train their staff and they are incredibly easy to use; and that's why half of our clients have opted for the Custom trend.
0151 647 1057
Our support team is available between 8am-6pm, Monday to Friday.

1. Re: Audio sync drifting in rendered clipsDave Merchant Aug 9, 2012 2:58 AM (in response to Cannibal Shogun)
What are your project/sequence settings, the formats you're exporting to and the frame rates of the EOS footage? This type of thing can sometimes happen if the audio sample rate is being changed at export, but the obvious question to begin with is which track is actually correct - is the audio running slow or the video running fast? How do the lengths of the exported footage compare to your sequence?
2. Re: Audio sync drifting in rendered clipsCannibal Shogun Aug 9, 2012 3:46 AM (in response to Dave Merchant)
I'm definitely working with a mess of a project. Frame rates is actually one of the things I'm looking into and there are a number of discrepencies in settings between, raw footage (30fps from the 500d & 29.9 from the rebel), sequence (29.9fps) and export settings (59.9fps). Unfortunately in the overall project I'm working with video from a number of sources so I'm starting with a number of different frame rates (in other sequences I have captured video game footage that is 60fps too). I'm still going to try and match them up as best I can and hope it helps. I'm just worried that the destination for these rendered clips is a pre-existing After Effects project where all the comps are 59.9fps, if I try to change those and that causes problems I could be looking at a pretty huge set back right before my deadline.
To add a little more detail, the problem seems to be getting progressively worse. In early renders there was no sign of an issue, then yesterday during a review we noticed it was slightly off so I thought i fixed it did a render last night and when I checked it this morning it was as I described in the first post. I have at least 3 or 4 early renders where the problem was either not there or so slight it's hard to notice. The really weird thing I've discovered, if I put the rendered clip back in premiere it syncs up, but if I play it in quicktime or use it in After Effects (the next step in my workflow) it doesn't. Guess that could still have to do with frame rates. We'll see.
Thanks for the tip

and, wow. I've just now noticed that the file I got back from the audio is guy is 41.1Hz instead of 48Hz which is what I've been working with. I'm thinking this might be my main issue (fingers crossed).
Thanks, again
4. Re: Audio sync drifting in rendered clipsCannibal Shogun Aug 9, 2012 5:23 AM (in response to Dave Merchant)
Well, converting the audio clip to 48Hz and dropping it back in th eproject didn't help. I guess next I'll export at 41.1 before i rule that out completely.
Update: I've now also tried exporting my existing sequence at 41.1Hz and creating a new sequence at 41.1Hz and exporting at the exact sequence settings with no change in results.
Update: I've now tried creating yet another sequence. This time 30fps (the frame rate of most the video in the sequence) and an audio sample rate of 41.1Hz. Then rendered a quicktime .h264 100% quality, 30fps, 41.1Hz. The render I got was slightly better but the audio was still off from how it appears in my timeline. The clip is the exact length of my sequence down to the frame 5:15:29 and again if I put it back in Premiere it plays perfectly but in quicktime or AE it drifts.

in other sequences I have captured video game footage that is 60fps too
Sorry, that is not possible. Capturing only works over firewire from a tape based camera and that never is 60 fps. Please get your terms and phrasing correct to help us understand you in order to help you. 41.1 KHz is a very weird format. 44.1 is possible but not advisable. 48 KHz is the regular format. NEVER use QuiRcktime if you can avoid it. It causes serious gamma shifts and reverts your 64 bit environment to 32 bit.
6. Re: Audio sync drifting in rendered clipsCannibal Shogun Aug 9, 2012 7:57 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Capturing only works over firewire from a tape based camera
I'm sorry but that is not true. I use a blackmagic intensity to capture game footage straight from XBox 360 console via HDMI. The footage I get is 60fps (the frame rate of the XBox 360). totally possible and in fact pretty standard for people capturing footage from video games. Why in the world would I ever want to capture video game footage from a tape based camera?
You are correct about the audio sample rate, I miss typed it the first time and then my brain continued to type it that way. the offending clip was 44.1 but I've since gotten a 48 clip from the audio guy and the problem persists.
7. Re: Audio sync drifting in rendered clipsthe_wine_snob Aug 9, 2012 8:19 AM (in response to Cannibal Shogun)
PrPro should be able to Conform the 44.1KHz material to 48KHz, though I wonder if the BM CODEC used might be an issue?
Good luck,

That is not capturing but ingesting. Confusing these terms can lead to misunderstanding. Like saying to your car mechanic, when I drove here versus when I swam here.
9. Re: Audio sync drifting in rendered clipsCannibal Shogun Aug 9, 2012 9:12 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Again in my industry that is very commonly reffered to as "capturing," the devices we use to do it are reffered to as "capture cards". I'm sorry you are not familiar with the specific area of video production that I work in, but that does not make it wrong. I've been working in video production for nearly a decade, I've been specifically working in the games industry for over 3 years and every time I've ever discussed capturing video game footage with my co-workers, video producers from other studios, our publishing partners or even third party production houses that we sometimes use to make trailers "capturing" is exactly what we called it, and "captures" is what we call the resulting footage. Your failed attempt at a metaphore is both insulting and blatently wrong. Do you have any useful advice or are you simply trolling here?
11. Re: Audio sync drifting in rendered clipsDave Merchant Aug 9, 2012 9:46 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Cannibal Shogun is perfectly correct, the term 'capturing' is standard terminology for the process of recording computer screen images using an application other than the one drawing the screen data (Adobe use it for that exact meaning, it's why Captivate is called Captivate and not Ingestivate). The word has a slightly different meaning to those working in tape, but the definition of 'capture' in Harm's glossary still applies to what Cannibal Shogun is doing with his XBox, as the console is behaving as the camcorder or DV deck, sending picture frames to a device which encodes them into digital video.
..and if people don't start acting polite and talking about the topic in question rather than attacking each other, I'm locking the thread.
12. Re: Audio sync drifting in rendered clipsECBowen Aug 9, 2012 10:08 AM (in response to Cannibal Shogun)
What application did you use to Resample the Audio? Have you tried any other codec export besides Quicktime H264? Any time you have audio drift over time like that which gets worse as you progress is almost always a sample rate issue /re-sampling between 44.1K and 48K. Those 2 sample rates are the only ones so close that the issues starts as a frame or 2 and gets worse each second. Do you only have the 1 audio file that you had to resample in the sequence your exporting? Did you by chance select Non Drop Frame in your project sequence or export settings?

Swami vatsalya
Dhwaja Arohan Sunday 2nd September 2018 The Dhwaja is a symbol of any Mandir to highlight to any Saadharmi that here resides a virtual Samovasaran in these premises! The Dhwaja Rohan (flag raising) ceremony is symbolic in cementing that Jain Dharma is well and truly alive in this 5th era. On this day, we will conduct Jinendra Maha-Abhishek at a later time to enable those that may have not participated or witnessed this wonderful and humbling ceremony before. It is Hemantbhai's sincere wish that as many male members young and old take part in the maha abhishek. It is an ideal opportunity to introduce this privileged activity to the younger generation and we would enourage all families with little ones to attend. They are also invited to recite a prayer if they wish to do so. The programme for the day will be as follows: 08.00 – 09.00: Gurudev's CD Pravachan 09.00 – 10.15: Jinendra Maha-Abhishek, Prakshalan & Puja 10.15 – 10.45: Hemantbhai's Swadhyay 11.00 onwards: Dhwaja Arohan

No Justin Smith on defense leaves void
49ERS Serious elbow injury - playoff return is in doubt
Well, it had to be something more than a nasty bruise.
Eleven days after seemingly indomitable defensive tackle Justin Smith was injured in a win over the Patriots, the 49ers revealed the nature of the injury that forced the four-time Pro Bowl selection to miss his first start since 2001 on Sunday.
According to the team, Smith had a bone spur detach when he sustained a partial tear of his left triceps tendon. The bone spur remains in his left elbow, which is why the team has classified it as an elbow injury. The 49ers provided specifics regarding the injury after the Sacramento Bee reported that Smith had sustained a partial triceps tear.
Smith, 33, who has yet to practice since he was injured, is certain to miss Sunday's regular-season finale against visiting Arizona. The 49ers have not placed him on injured reserve and hope he can return at some point in the postseason. Smith could require offseason surgery.
With Smith sidelined last week, the 49ers surrendered 176 rushing yards in a 42-13 loss at Seattle, the most they'd allowed since Sept. 26, 2010. Seattle's 42 points were the most scored against San Francisco since a 45-10 loss to the Falcons on Oct. 11, 2009.
On Thursday, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio downplayed the impact of Smith's absence in Seattle.
"They just outplayed us, outcoached us in that game," Fangio said. "And we weren't very good. We could have had five Justin Smiths, maybe. That wasn't the issue in the last game. ... Those guys just whipped us."
For his part, inside linebacker Patrick Willis acknowledged that the loss of his fellow defensive captain creates an emotional void. Known for his dedication, aversion to the spotlight and dry wit, Smith is perhaps the most respected player in the locker room.
"You can't really put into words what he means to this defense," Willis said. "Justin is one of our team captains, but more than just a captain, he's a man that goes out there and leads by example. He doesn't say a whole lot. He only speaks when he has to. He goes out there and plays with heart. He's a guy that I look up to in this league."
Smith, whose recently snapped streak of 185 starts ranked third among active players, has played through a myriad of maladies during his 12-year career. But could he return less than a month after sustaining a partial triceps tear? The 49ers could play a wild-card playoff game as early as Jan. 5, 20 days after Smith was injured.
Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis had surgery after a complete triceps tear Oct. 14. Baltimore did not place him on season-ending injured reserve and hopes he can return during the playoffs, at least 12 weeks after he was hurt.
Willis allowed for the possibility that Smith wouldn't be back until the 2013 season.
"I know it's killing him not be out there with us," he said. "But like I said, I want him to do the right thing. Take the right steps right now so, hopefully, we can get him back in time. But if not, for his career, he's able to take care of it now and be back with us next year."
Briefly: Tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) was cleared by an independent neurologist and was limited in practice after not participating Wednesday. Davis wore a non-contact jersey, an indication he has yet to be cleared to play Sunday. ... Center Jonathan Goodwin (illness) did not practice.
Smith's absence creates huge hole
The 49ers have played the majority of the past six quarters without injured All-Pro defensive tackle Justin Smith and the statistical dropoff has been striking. Here's a look at the defense's per-quarter averages before and after Smith's injury:
First downs
First 54 quarters: 4.2
Past 6 quarters: 8.0
First 54 quarters: 68.4
Past 6 quarters: 125.5
First 54 quarters: 3.2
Past 6 quarters: 11.0
* Does not include points scored by opponents' defense or special teams.

Suzuki's First New SX4 S-CROSS Car Rolls Off Hungarian Line
Esztergom, HUNGARY–Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp. on Friday became the latest in a series of foreign car makers to launch a new mass produced model in Hungary when Prime Minister Viktor Orban drove its first new SX4 S-CROSS off the assembly line.
Car manufacturing plays a key role in Hungary's export-dependent economy and Suzuki's new model launch follows Mercedes' compact CLA in January and Audi AG's A3 Limousine in June.
Foreign car makers in Hungary include Audi, Volkswagen AG's premium brand, Daimler AG's premium German car maker Mercedes-Benz, and General Motors Co.'s Adam Opel GmbH.
Hungarian prime ministers have been driving the first new models off the Suzuki line since its factory opened here in 1991. Suzuki Chairman and Chief Executive Osamu Suzuki accompanied Mr. Orban in the passenger seat of a metallic crystal lime-colored SX4 S-CROSS.

Barry McGee at Prism LA May 2012
Invited to exhibit in one of New York's premier galleries a dozen years ago, Barry McGee responded by upending several trucks. He then bombed the wreckage with spraypaint and made it the centerpiece of an installation that confronted art collectors with an ersatz urban ghetto mimicking those he ordinarily vandalized on the downlow. One of the most memorable exhibitions in the 14-year history of Deitch Projects, the spectacle became the basis of McGee's nearly unparalleled popularity, culminating in his current midcareer retrospective at the Berkeley Art Museum. Through it all, he's struggled to reconcile mainstream appeal with his stated aim "to carry on pissing people off". It's been a losing battle. His furiously overturned trucks are now crowd-pleasers. ~read on @Forbes

Farm Bill compromise contains wins for wildlife
Bill agreed to by House-Senate conferees includes key conservation objectives
WASHINGTON (January 28, 2014) – Farm Bill conferees have released a conference report that includes several major victories for wildlife and natural resource conservation efforts. Environmentalists are touting the bill as a dramatic improvement over the previous House version. The compromise bill is expected to be brought to the House floor this week.
Statement from Noah Matson, Vice President of Landscape Conservation & Climate Adaptation:
"After a years-long process, the Farm Bill conference report finally shows some progress on the side of conservation. The bill will require farmers to comply with basic soil and water conservation measures in order to receive taxpayer-subsidized crop insurance. This marks an important shift toward limiting taxpayer dollars that contribute to unsustainable farming practices, and should have a profoundly positive impact on the health of vital soil, wetlands and sensitive wildlife habitat.
"There is no doubt it is hard to swallow a $6 billion cut to programs that conserve wildlife and habitat on private lands. However, Chairwoman Stabenow's leadership ensured that key changes to the bill help soften the blow of that loss. The rejection of special interest waivers to fundamental environmental laws that protect clean water, land and endangered wildlife, and the inclusion of safeguards for soil and water resource conservation make the compromise bill one that the conservation community can more readily embrace. "

Is there an easy way to fit this IC to the b/b??
The schematic for this is exactly the same as the one on page 14 of the ST datasheet, with the addition of an LM7805 regulator for the power, a few caps and a reverse-polarity diode.
HiI made some stepper motor drivers with the L297 and L298 five years ago, and they still work great!

Yayoi Kusama is a visual artist from Japan, Kusama's most popular work consists of a solid neon color or white background across open space paired with glob-like sculptures covered in dots creating the illusion of one-dimensionality and challenging a viewer's understanding of the given space. Recently, Kusama was tapped by Louis Vuitton to create a collection of handbags, and clothing featuring her signature polka dots and avant-garde minimalist approach.
As the creative director of Louis Vuitton since 1997, Marc Jacobs, perhaps one of the most revolutionary fashion designers of our age, has been pinnacle to the luxury house's success utilizing a unique mix of technology, media, and art to generate interest and generate commercial revenue. As the creative director, Marc Jacobs is responsible for molding Vuitton's perception by the public, and directly responsible in generating interest and relevancy for one of the oldest fashion house's in existence today.

This is not Louis Vuitton's first collaboration with artists, having collaborated with graffiti artist Stephen Sprouse, and artist Takashi Murakami. Below is an example of their work for Louis Vuitton,

Understanding the Demographic
As retailers become more aware of a consumer's online habits, we are beginning to notice a shift in how corporations interact with their target demographic. Granted, a typical Louis Vuitton is not your average person, we would assume the individual to be the following - fashion oriented, affluent, and most importantly, diverse in age. This target demographic would consider themselves elite, and therefore would find themselves interested in art. Now, we understand these characteristics as generalizations. It is not to say that one who is not interested in fashion, and without affluence would purchase a product.
Retail's Shifting Paradigms
As we understand it, retail is the exchange of goods from a business to a user. As we've learned in the course, the idea of a "storefront," is evolving. As is the way retailers are using new media tools as a selling points. No longer is the customer limited to the in-store experience as a way to experience commerce. One website, Oki-Ni offered customers the opportunity to purchase clothing from a video as you watched.
Louis Vuitton's Transmedia Approach
As the ability to create media becomes more ubiquitous, retailers are starting to understand that their online presence and ability to promote that content via advertising is vastly more important than any exposure in a magazine. This is not to deny the fashion magazine of it's influence, but it's simply easier to promote content yourself. One well placed ad, or one well placed editorial, could become the catalyst for a disengaged consumer to experience a product launch, and even come to reinterpret a brand's image. Since fashion is constantly evolving to create trends in order to drive profit, brands like Louis Vuitton are rendered significant in their ability to consistently exert their influence while engaging the public in a unique way every six months.

The model used to work wherein a fashion house, or retail brand would promote their products through fashion editorials, or stylized still-photography in a magazine. This is where magazines like Vogue, GQ, and Harper's Bazaar were given the executive power to decide whether a piece was of importance and worth placing into an editorial with other brands. In these editorials, a creative director would normally delegate importance to those who contributed to a magazine in advertising dollars. Prior to this, the catalog served a similar function whereby a brand would pay for space to sell their product. As the catalog serves a niche consumer, and magazine's begin to lose their influence retailers are becoming increasingly independent.
How are they becoming dependent? Well for one, they are utilizing their own exposure channels to promote their product. An example of an exposure channel would be a website wherein one necessarily need not come to said destination intentionally but by simply being exposed through an aggregator, or a blog post.

The Website Splash Page
In telling the story of Yayoi Kusama's collection, Louis Vuitton valued the importance of the artist's aesthetic across Louis Vuitton's exposure channels. Below is an example of the Kusama's website, from this website you can access Louis Vuitton's main website and portal for e-commerce in the left-hand column.

We often refer to social media in the context of an independent network where users interact with a web server by uploading media such as profile pictures, share links and upload, but we don't think of these spaces as transitional environments whereby a user's web experience is largely influenced by what they may do outside of the digital realm. Mobile applications, like but not limited to Instagram, offer consumers a way to experience the brand, in this case Louis Vuitton, even if they are 6,000 miles away from the nearest retail location. In our example, one of the ways Louis Vuitton engaged people on their Instagram page was by posting pictures of the Louis Vuitton's North American flagship location.

Transforming Physical Space
As noted in the picture above, in anticipation of the collection release Louis Vuitton modified the outside of their flagship locations to reflect Kusama's signature dots. Marc Jacobs is known to employ the use of a modified consumer experience time again and often with dramatic effect. In March 2012, Marc Jacobs set up a show where a train car rolled onto the catwalk complete with steam, audio, and even a conductor to assist models off of the train and onto the runway.
(Source: Telegraphtv/Youtube)
It's important to understand the way these sort of experiences translate in terms of publicity. One of the initiatives the Vuitton creative team decided on for the Kusama collaboration was to transform retail spaces to reflect the aesthetic of the artist not just on the outside but on the inside as well.

Engaging the Media
Louis Vuitton also decided on engaging the media in a different way and solidifying Louis Vuitton's commitment to art. With this collaboration, the brand funded an exhibition on behalf of Yayoi Kusama at the Whitney Museum of American Art. This exhibition was scheduled days prior to the release of the actual collection.

The media responded well and the web was filled with buzz especially among fashion types who's excitement about the exhibition increased awareness about the collection. As media types tweeted or blogged about the event and the collection, Louis Vuitton's Twitter account reflected the hype. Similarly, press releases about the new window displays for the Kusama collection were sent months ahead of the collection release.

The windows again served as a catalyst to tie together the artist's aesthetic and relationship to Louis Vuitton.

CHICAGO David Radler was called a serial liar, a turncoat, a snitch and a rat when he testified against his long-time business partner Conrad Black and three other former Hollinger International Inc. colleagues last May.
But yesterday, in a court filing, Mr. Radler's lawyers said that was all wrong. They portrayed Mr. Radler as an honest, hard-working man of integrity and they implored a Chicago judge to endorse a plea bargain he struck in 2005.
"During the trial, the court heard attacks on Mr. Radler and his character," the lawyers said. "But despite the picture that his co-defendants' counsel attempted to paint of Mr. Radler, there is another side of him that was not highlighted during the trial."
The filing portrayed Mr. Radler, 65, as a deeply religious father who has suffered enough and given enormously to his community.
"Mr. Radler is a kind, decent and generous man," the filing said.
Mr. Radler, who lives in Vancouver, built the Hollinger newspaper empire with Lord Black over more than three decades. At one point the Chicago-based company was one of the largest newspaper operations in the world, stretching across Canada, the United States, Britain and Israel. But when prosecutors in Chicago began investigating allegations of fraud in 2004, Mr. Radler quickly cut a deal.
He pleaded guilty to one fraud charge and agreed to testify against the others. In return, prosecutors said they would recommend he receive a 29-month jail sentence and a $250,000 fine. Judge Amy St. Eve will rule on that deal next Monday. If she turns it down, Mr. Radler will likely go to trial. Prosecutors have indicated in court filings that they continue to support the agreement.
Mr. Radler was the prosecution's star witness during the trial. He testified for eight days and faced blistering cross-examinations by lawyers for Lord Black and the other defendants. They wore down his credibility so much that by the end of the trial lead prosecutor Eric Sussman told jurors they did not have to consider Mr. Radler's testimony during their deliberations.
Even Judge St. Eve noted Mr. Radler's culpability on Monday when she sentenced Lord Black to 6½ years in prison. The judge rejected arguments by prosecutors that Lord Black should serve more than 20 years in prison saying that would be unfair considering that Mr. Radler, who was "at least as culpable," would receive much less.
In yesterday's filing, lawyers for Mr. Radler urged the judge to endorse the plea bargain, citing Mr. Radler's outstanding character, his extensive co-operation with prosecutors and his heartfelt remorse for his misconduct.
To back up their case, they offered testimonials from Mr. Radler's wife, daughters and several friends. They enthused about Mr. Radler's religious devotion - he is a "fixture at synagogue" - and his extensive charitable work, including gifts to hospitals, universities, and his tireless effort to save Vancouver's NBA franchise (the team moved to Memphis in 2001).
The filing mentioned a $1-million gift Mr. Radler made to Queen's University in 2000, but failed to note that the university gave back the donation and took Mr. Radler's name off a wing of its business school after he pleaded guilty.
The filing noted that Mr. Radler has paid $53-million to settle several lawsuits, including allegations filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. And they said that because he is a Canadian, Mr. Radler will be deported from the United States once his term is up and will never be able to see his 92-year-old mother again, because she lives in a nursing home there. *****
Family and friends sing a chorus of praise
Conrad Black had his chance to convince the judge he's more than a corporate kleptocrat. Now it's David Radler's turn to show the judge he's not just an admitted fraudster. He's also a devoted family man, a deeply religious individual, a kind employer, a great boss, a giving philanthropist, and he's very, very sorry, according to accounts given in his presentencing submission.
The family man
He 'is a man of his word and when he makes a commitment to his loved ones, he keeps it.'
-Daughter Melissa
He 'never missed ballet recitals or piano recital' and 'never missed Sunday night family dinner.'
-Daughter Melanie
'He has provided me with my entire emotional support' and '[h]is love and understanding cannot be compared.'
-Wife Rona
I can 'hear the pain in [Mr. Radler's] voice as he describe[s] the anguish' of being unable to care for his infirm mother.
-Friend Daniel Nack
The MAN OF FAITH
'David is a fixture at synagogue on Saturdays, holidays and sometimes nights. ... It is surely difficult for David, who is shy by nature, to sit in synagogue each week when the entire community knows about and talks about his legal affairs.'
-Rabbi Yitzchak Wineberg
The good boss
'I saw David go out of his way to look after employees and families who had family members that had illnesses and when one of them passed away ... David offered to pay funeral expenses when someone couldn't afford it.'
-Former colleague Bob Calvert
'One fact that you may hear from others is that Mr. Radler has in the past provided women with business and job opportunities in the newspaper business that they would otherwise not have had because of the traditional male dominance in the industry.' -Former colleague Catherine Keri
The businessman
'Every account was important to him and he understood their business, talked their lingo. ... He proved to them and to me to be a man of his word and I was proud to work for him.'
-Former employee Nanci Batson
'[N]ot one time did David Radler ever ask me to be less than totally honest and truthful with the people with whom I was negotiating.'
-Former employee Kenneth Cope
The repentant
'In Judaism we learn that there are three parts to repentance; confession, regret and resolution to change. I believe you have witnessed the first part - confession. I have heard and felt the second part - regret. The third part - resolution to change - can be plainly seen in David's life over the past year.'
-Friend Daniel Nack
He 'agonizes over the effects of his actions on his family.'
-Wife Rona

$59 million allocated for new lanes and improvements on SH 71 near airport
AUSTIN — On average, Central Texans spend about 2,500 hours a day sitting in traffic and red lights along State Highway 71 near Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA). Today, the Texas Transportation Commission, the Texas Department of Transportation and Sen. Kirk Watson jointly announced a plan that will alleviate congestion and improve safety along this high-traffic highway. The new project, funded in large part through the SH 130 concession agreement, will consist of an additional lane in both directions and managed lanes to bypass traffic lights. (Video, photos and graphics from today's announcement are available here.)
"Using private dollars to fund a large portion of the construction gives us the opportunity to dramatically advance this project from a long-term unfunded vision to a reality," said Chairman Ted Houghton, Texas Transportation Commission. "Partnering with Central Texas transportation authorities and Senator Watson will mean a commute to and from the Austin airport without the headaches that drivers currently experience."
"I'm thrilled that the state has chosen to prioritize this portion of SH 71, providing uninterrupted access between the airport and the eastern portion of our region," said Sen. Kirk Watson. "The funding we've secured means there will be no stoplights on SH 71 from Mopac to SH 130. By speeding this project up, we'll also improve mobility for everyone who uses FM 973 daily."
Specifically, the SH 71 project will provide additional tolled express lanes from Spirit of Texas and Presidential Boulevard to just east of SH 130. The project also will include the reconstruction and realignment of the FM 973 intersections at SH 71. These improvements will reduce congestion and delay for all motorists and give drivers the choice of using tolled express lanes to bypass signals at FM 973 and SH 130.
"This latest plan for improving SH 71 provides the final link, enabling drivers to travel from South Mopac to ABIA and SH 130 without being forced to stop at an intersection," said Phil Wilson, TxDOT executive director. "Think of the time drivers will save every day having a much more efficient way to travel through this critical area. We appreciate CAMPO and Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority's partnership and for their help in making this project possible."
"The Mobility Authority is pleased that we are able to be a regional partner and help to make this important project a reality," said Chairman Ray Wilkerson, Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority. "As a result of this project, the Mobility Authority will have future surplus revenues for use in the region to help address other areas of congestion."
The project announced today is estimated to cost $141 million, of which $60 million will be paid using dedicated SH 130 concession funds. Construction is expected to begin in late 2014.
About other construction on SH 71
Prior to this newest plan announced today, TxDOT's contractors have already begun construction on the following other projects along SH 71:

Guest Editor Sarah Jessica Parker Shares Her Spring Must-Haves
They say that the clothes make the (wo)man, but in Sarah Jessica Parker's case, the woman absolutely makes the clothes. So, we kicked up our heels when the Sex and the City star announced she was designing a line of shoes for Nordstrom, available at midnight on February 28th. Because, sartorially, who doesn't want to be Carrie Bradshaw? And—how lucky are we?—Parker has taken time to share fashion favorites straight from her closet, must-have beauty products, and her obsession with genius novel The Goldfinch. After flipping through her list, we couldn't help but wonder, could we walk a mile in her shoes? Turns out, with her amazing new collection, SJP, we can!

"For someone like myself who doesn't love the look of a lot of makeup, it's a wonderful light base. Evens out complexion in a demure way and never looks mask-like. It absorbs in beautifully to give a fresh, even look."
Caviar Stick ($26)
"It doesn't move! The color is magnificent, looks sublime on all eye colors, and never betrays you."
Toothpaste ($2)
"I always thought, 'when I grow up I'll use Ultra Brite, a mature toothpaste'. Back in the days before 'whitening.' It's still affordable, and I love the taste."
