i really love my tiny prints address labels, but i've dreamed of owning an actual address stamp for years. there's just something so cool and sophisticated about having a STAMP, you know? not to mention being able to change the ink color whenever you want. i couldn't rationalize one of these before since we were moving so often, but now that we're in a two year lease and i've found all these completely perfect stamps, i'm wondering if it's time to change that.
have you ever ponied up for an address stamp? do you think they're excessive? and what happens to the stamp after you move? obviously i still have some hesitations. :)

The museum's exhibitions are currently receiving a facelift and will reopen on Friday 29 July.
In the newly refurbished museum you will find our stories of the River Severn, Gloucester Docks and the canals connected to them. We focus on the stories of their natural history and people who worked on them.
The Severn has always been at the heart of life in and around Gloucester. The ground floor gallery will help you to explore stories about the river, the docks and the types of boats built and used here.
Discover the canals that were built and designed by skilful engineers and gangs of workers. In turn the canals shaped the lives of those who travelled on them, repaired them and used them. The gallery will help you to explore their strength, commitment and resilience and the part the canals played in our national history.
There's nowhere quite like The National Waterways Museum at Gloucester for getting up close to our rich industrial history.

Wilburn Ridge is the long, and very high ridgeline that leads up from Massie Gap in the Grayson Highlands State Park and toward Mount Rogers. It is among the very highest terrain in the state of Virginia. While not as high as Mount Rogers, the peak of Wilburn Ridge is rocky, treeless, and offers unobstructed views in every direction.In fact, the mountains in this vicinity have been likened more to western land than Virginia high country. As with Charlies Bunion in the Smokies, this area was heavily logged, flooded, and subsequently burned. The fires were so intense that they burned right down to the mineral soil. Thus, trees have had a long, slow battle to recover here, and we are left with what amounts to big sky country here in the corner of Virgnia.
Wilburn Ridge is actually a part of Pine Mountain, which is one of the highest mountains in Virginia. All of this high country is incorporated into the Mount Rogers Recreation Area and is easily one of the finest high mountain spots in the eastern USA. The recreational opportunities are quite astounding. On a personal note, I've been visiting the Mount Rogers area for years and I could do so for many more years and still never see everything that's on my list to accomplish there.
Getting There
The trail starts at the Massie Gap parking area in Grayson Highlands State Park and intersects with the Appalachian Trail which runs over the ridge. It begins as "The Rhododendron Trail", but soon intersects with the AT. One can also walk up the "Appalachian Spur Trail" that also starts near the parking lot. Both lead to the AT and then to Wilburn Ridge.The park is located on Highway 58, about midway between Damascus and Independence. From 58, just take the park road to Massie Gap.
Red Tape
None of which I am aware.When To Climb
All year long. The weather can become very cold and icy in winter. I go to this area every winter and almost always enounter snow, ice, and stiff winds. And no winter seems to go by that some hiker or group of hikers don't get into life-threatening difficulties due to the harsh conditions that rake the summits in the colder months.Camping
Camping is allowed. I know of no fees outside the state park boundaries. Within Grayson Highlands State Park, camping is only allowed within the official developed campground.Mountain Conditions
Check weather condition for Damascus, VA and subtract five to ten degrees.External Links

Interesting. Yeah, I had listened to it on three different days over the course of three weeks and it was still producing the same problems. The mic is in the mail at this point, so presumably we'll see. Constantin - I can only hope it comes out as free, but alas... who knows! Thanks gang.
Yeah, location sound corp is sending it out to Schoeps for me. Guessing I won't hear the news until a good amount of time from now, but I'm sure it'll be $$$ regardless - I'll be sure to post what happened, soon as I hear.
This was in LA about a month ago, so not bad on the humidity side of things. If anything, it was a little chilly/dry in the house that day. I'll check the recorder and make sure it's distributing phantom power properly - cautious to test any other mics with the R-44 until then. Certainly a bummer.
Dropped off my Schoeps CMIT 5U at LSC today for service. Had used it recently with a Roland R-44 (no mixer in this case), and about half way thru a simple one-hour long recording, the mic GRADUALLY started to produce a low-level crackle. Had hoped it was just a bad R-44, but the mic performed the same on another recorder when used. Unfortunately, LSC confirmed it was the mic. Given the mic was performing fine early in the same recording, and gradually got worse, I feel like I'm going out on a short limb to assume the R-44 phantom power damaged the mic? Has anyone else experienced this sort of damage? I couldn't find anything regarding the R-44 damaging a mic. The CMIT has an early serial, so it's been around for a bit - I purchased it used over two years ago and it has been a workhorse for me ever since, until this.
haha, fun video and a good INTRO into the concepts of boom removal. Since removing booms from shots is my day job, I'll add a few things to consider: -- When creating a "clean" plate to hide your boom behind, it's always best to use VIDEO instead of a still frame. Why? If you're using a still frame, the film or video grain is frozen in time and could potential stand out (especially in darker, grainy scenes). If a clean video plate wasn't shot on the day, you may have to "build" one yourself - build a "clean" plate video that loops for the duration of the shot. -- In 99.9% of the boom removals I do, almost all of them require both the clean plate and edited footage to be "pinned-down". Meaning, ALL motion needs to be removed from the two plates. Something as simple as a camera operator's heartbeat can have your camera image bouncing around on a sub-pixel (or greater) level. If one of your two plates is unstable and moving around for whatever reason, you'll spot it pretty easily, as if there's an invisible fault line thru your image as the two images move independently of each other. And of course all this only counts for video that is locked off on a tripod.

Excellent, thanks for the heads up! I'll give their listings a try. Figured Galvaston wasn't exactly a hotbed for production. -Chad
No bites yet. If there's anybody that does take this on, I'll certainly pass-on whatever knowledge I have of setting up shots for boom removal (by means of post-VFX), ala what is done on "House of Cards" (my other day job). Details in this thread:
Hello gang, I'm producing a narrative short next week in Galveston, TX. We need a boom-op / mixer for ONE DAY: Friday, September 23rd. Unique shoot with bare bones Los Angeles based crew (travelling) and a young "name" actress attached (she co-wrote it and will star). Please contact me with your rate and a brief example of your experience level. Best way to reach me is via email - chadpeter at hotmail dot com Thanks everybody! -Chad P. My imdb

Thanks John!
Morgan, apologies for the long delay. I haven't been on the site in a little bit. Unfortunately, the more complicated stuff (shadows, etc) is just that - complicated. Unless you're fairly well off with Adobe After Effects or some other compositing software, it'd be hard to draw up a step-by-step process - since everything is different from shot to shot... and there's not always an easy answer. In the most simplified of steps, this is usually what I'll do on any given boom-removal shot: 1.) prep the after effects project and import the clean and dirty plates (usually each DPX or EXR image sequences for us on "House of Cards") 2.) "pin down" each plate. "Pinning down" is another way of saying "stabilize" the shot, where we simply remove all forms of movement. Even if a camera is locked-off, you'd be surprised how much extraneous little bumps, etc, seem to make their way to the camera. If you don't do this, occasionally you'll get a shot that has, say, a bumpy clean plate, but a stable dirty plate. You'll see the two plates moving in opposite directions (it ain't pretty). 3.) Place the clean plate in the upper layer and use the pen tool to draw out a matte area (the "clean" area). (Technical speak: we actually create a solid layer and draw our mask shapes on that, and then use the solid layer as an alpha layer over the clean plate). In after effects, I'll typically blur the matte lines about 50 pixels or more, unless the line is close to either the boom or the actor(s). Usually that's all that needs to be done. Sometimes a shot will come in without a clean plate and I'll have to go into photoshop to create my own by painting out the boom. Hopefully that helps a little?
That shouldn't be an issue, unless it's an older lens that "breathes" or distorts heavily when racking. The compositor will have to keyframe a fake blur a bit and have it match the look of the camera blur on the main take. I suppose a bad compositor could screw this up, but... yeah. In any case, it's never a bad thing to capture a clean plate for both 'in focus' and 'out of focus', just to give the compositor options.
As long as the camera is only slightly re-framing while on a TRIPOD (not moving around in a 3D space, but fixed to the head of a motionless tripod), then a little bit of movement is fine and almost guaranteed even if it's a lock-down (someone, somewhere always manages to bump the camera somehow). haha. First and foremost when I composite the clean plate into the shot, I have to first track and stabilize both the shot and the clean plate (remove ALL movement from both). It's possible to get a bit more complicated than that and add a larger move (again, only a pan or tilt on a tripod), IF your clean plate still covers all the applicable space it needs to cover throughout the duration of the shot. Any good compositor should know how to apply the clean plate, so that the shot and the clean plate move in sync with each other. Yes. This. If you have a motion control camera, then you can absolutely have a camera move in 3D space w/ a boom, as long as you're able to get a clean plate. The compositing process will be moderately more difficult, but shouldn't be too terrible, if shot correctly. Yeah, what Lorenzo said. It's not uncommon that the plate and the shot are focused a bit differently, so I'll usually have to add blur (and re-grain) to the clean plate. The only place a compositor would have problems, is if the clean plate is out of focus, but the shot is not.
Hey guys, back again... Lemme see if I can answer those questions... 6k is no more necessary than even 1k to "paint" out a boom from a static shot. Alexa, Red, film, etc. As long as there's a few usable seconds of a clean take without a boom pole, shot on the same camera, at the same resolution, then it won't matter the frame resolution. Resolution really only matters when it comes to something like green screen work - like dealing with someone's hair on a green screen. At 1k, there'd be hardly any detail in the hair. At 6k, you could see every strand, and thusly make a better green screen composite. For something like replacing a boom pole with a "clean" plate, though, your "clean" and "dirty" elements are both the same resolution. Moving shots are tricky. Worst case scenarios involve frame-by-frame removal of a boom or wire. I imagine the sound equivalent would be something like using the pen tool to draw a new wave line. (Please forgive me if that's not even remotely comparable.) haha. There are much better options, typically, but doing something like this on a moving shot would not be advisable unless you have a very talented VFX guy/team who wants to spend a day *attempting* to make the shot usable. And it may not work, depending on the complexity. Of course, damn near anything can be accomplished with VFX/CGI, but the costs get out of hand quickly. A post supervisor would likely scoff at something like this, for better or worse, if they knew they could ADR the scene or moment instead. Some things to keep in mind when shooting scenes in this manner: Be sure the lighting hasn't changed between the filming of the scene and the "clean" plate. The background behind your boom can't have fluctuating light. Things like actors' shadows crossing over the background, etc, etc, will all make the composite that much harder. Any VFX compositor worth their salt will usually figure out a solution to remove possible boom shadows, actors' shadows, etc, but obviously it's not a guarantee. If the background behind your boom is something that moves, like an ocean of water, or a tree in the wind - your "clean" plate certainly won't match the original image. The "clean" plate needs to be the exact same as the original background.
Yeah, I don't recall any HOC shots where there's a boom in frame WHILE the shot is moving. I think there were one or two in all of Gone Girl, but typically, I recall only a handful of the following: A camera move completes, camera stops, boom flies in after camera has settled - sometimes in the opposite order. We do this not only to remove Booms, but sometimes a B Cam, too. This, of course, wouldn't be as easy with a handheld camera (unless the camera operator sits still and doesn't introduce any parallax (side to side) or front-to-back motion). Handheld isn't impossible, but it could take several hours of compositing work. Edit: On "Gone Girl" we had a few dolly-in shots where the boom was in shot for the duration of the actual move. The camera team then had to go back and shoot a clean plate - exact same set up and camera move were recreated, this time without the boom in shot. In post, we had to match up the two shots and "lock" the two moves together so that we could do a simple paint out. Easier said than done, but certainly possible and not as difficult as going full CGI and modelling some new 3D element for a clean plate. I doubt any TV productions would allow the time/money to do this. lol. And I'm pretty sure the example I just gave involved removing a B-Cam from the shot as well, which is probably why they chose to attempt it in the first place.
Hey everyone, good to see some fellow HOC teamers in here - I suppose I should stick my head in, since it's been my job on the post side of things to do the boom paint-outs. haha who knew we had so many of us here on JW? I worked in-house VFX on HOC s2 & s3, and "Gone Girl" as well. I love the concept of boom "paint" outs. As long as it was shot correctly (locked-off and with a brief clean plate (at least 2 seconds worth), boom paint-outs will take all of 2 minutes to finish. It takes more time to transfer the files than it does to do the work, in most cases. USUALLY the camera is locked down, but very rarely it will have a move within the shot (more commonly in something like "Gone Girl", where the overall production value is higher and the shots are more complex). If anyone has any questions about the process, let me know. It'd be nice to get more productions working this way.

Columbia County authorities are investigating a prank call from a man who claims he shot his mother.
"It's definitely a prank," Columbia County sheriff's Capt. Sharif Chochol said.
A man called the Grovetown Department of Public Safety just before 2 p.m. Monday claiming that he was at a home on the 300 block of Sugar Creek Drive near Grovetown and that he'd shot his mother there, according to county dispatchers.

The following accounts were taken from Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident reports:
Photos taken during crime
A Grovetown woman said Tuesday that she came home and found people trying to break into her house.
The woman said as she went to her Boulder Court home just after 1 p.m., she saw a silver Chevrolet truck parked in the circle near her house. She took a photo of the truck tag with her cell phone. She walked around to the back of the house and saw two men trying to break into the house with a screwdriver.
A roomful of Harlem residents cheered after city leaders denied requests to rezone two properties for multi-family housing.
Residents showed up in force at Monday's City Council meeting and a May 14 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to vehemently oppose the two rezonings that would make way for a 125-unit apartment complex and a 48-unit senior housing project along a main entryway into the city.
"Harlem is our hometown and we're fighting to preserve it," said Gina Bennett, who lives directly across from the proposed apartment complex.

The 12-year-old Stallings Island Middle School pupil, who won local and regional bees to make it to the big stage, had no problem with the preliminary rounds on Wednesday.
He spelled "wanderlust" in the morning then strode to the microphone and successfully knocked out "glyceraldehyde" in the afternoon session.
"I was pretty confident," said Charlie, who took 39 seconds with his first word and 67 seconds with the second.

The most important pre-game ritual in all of baseball is the act of taking infield. Not only does it warm-up your infielders but it can provide a sense of camaraderie among your players in those crucial moments before the game starts.
We take infield with two fungos going at once; outfield is taken with one fungo. (Editor's Note: Fungo is a term for someone who hits balls tossed in the air to players in the field in a practice setting. They may or may not use fungo bats, bats specifically designed for this action.)
More: Can Defense Go in a Slump?
Stage 1: Ground Balls
In the infield one fungo is placed to the third base side of the diamond, while the other is on the first base side of the diamond.
Featured Events
The third base side fungo hits ground balls to the second and first basemen, while the fungo on the first base side hits fungos to the third baseman and shortstop--balls are brought back by their respective shaggers.
More: 3 Steps to Stellar Infield Defense
Stage 2: Double Play
The first base fungo hits ground balls to the third baseman, who then throws to first base. The third base fungo hits ground balls to the second baseman and shortstop, who work on turning the double play. They throw to a short first baseman, who can be your right fielder.
Stage 3: Throw to First
The third stage is when the first base fungo hits ground balls to the short stop, who throws to first. The third base fungo hits ground balls to third and he throws to second for the double play as the second baseman throws to the short first baseman.
More: Developing Game Speed
Stage 4: Pressure Situations
Finally one of the fungos leaves and the other hits ground balls to a drawn-in infield.
First, they check the runner at third and go to first. Second, they field a ground ball and throw home as if the runner was trying to score. Thirdly, they field a ground ball, as if bases were loaded, and throw to home, with the catcher going to first for the double play. Finally, they field a slow roller where their only play is at first and come off the field.

Just like Ronnie Miller going from "totally geek, to totally chic!" in the 80's cult classic Can't Buy Me Love, the city of Cleveland is undergoing a major rebrand. Thanks to the #RNCinCLE this week, along with a perfect storm of recent events and positive buzz, the Read More…

Betrayal in Brand Land – Following Sprint's Lead
By Brokaw Director of Brand Strategy, Tim Laubacher In June, if you had the pleasure of joining a record number of Americans watching the 2016 NBA Finals (#Believeland), you probably noticed a certain cell phone provider character/spokesperson wearing the wrong color. Paul Marcarelli, the bespeckled one-time Verizon pitchman, debuted in a Sprint ad directly attacking the market leader. "It's 2016 Read More…

I heard a story about a man, who, after drinking a little too much cider at a Halloween party, was trying to "walk it off" on his way home. Taking a shortcut through a graveyard, he accidentally stumbled into a freshly dug grave.
Try as he might to climb out, because of his mostly inebriated condition and because the rain that had fallen earlier in the day had made the sides of the grave muddy and slick, he finally gave up.

I'm going to get the Smith IOX goggles and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good combo to buy? I was thinking the Platinum + Red Sensor combo, but it seems the Blue Sensors are a "must" for flat light?
Any advice would be appreciated
both red and blue sensors seem to work for me in flat light. FWIW.
Let me say that the IOX lens is fantastic for visibility, and it is the only goggle that I have used that has never fogged (I wear glasses and that has been an issue for me with every other goggle, including OTG goggles) I love the goggle and recommend it.
I have used both the red and blue sensors and would call them about equal in the flat light. If you have trouble with flat light as I do, nothing yet is quite as good as we would like it to be. There are times in early morning overcast, low cloud days where I think a clear lens would even be better.
Speaking from experience the blue sensor (which doesn't look blue) is bright as hell. Awesome for flat-light.
Blue sensor for life... been using it across a few pair of Smiths for the past 10 years or so. I also have an Ignitor mirror for my I/O for bright days.
is the ignitor good for sunny?
it is marketed as an all-around lens so i wasnt sure if i should get a lens with a lower VLT
For me the best combo is green sol-x mirror/blue sensor or blackout/blue sensor. The mirror lenses and the blackout are the best for blue bird days!
For me the best combo is green sol-x mirror/blue sensor or blackout/blue sensor.
Roger this. This combo has served me well.
I like Ignitor for sunny days, it's 35% light transmission which is enough for high sun in the spring, but importantly the lens still lets in enough light for shaded slopes/trees. Even on the sunniest spring days at Whistler, I find some part of the day is spent in the shadows and really dark lenses do not work well there (for me). Previously I used the RC36 (36% light transmission, no mirror) for sunny/variable days. My I/O came with Blue/Ignitor is another reason I use that combo, no need to spend money on more lenses.
http://www.smithoptics.ca/products/#/Lens+and+Accessories/Snow+Goggle+Replacement+Lenses/ lists all of them
The ignitor actually really is a great all-around lens It may not look as cool as the sol-x ones but it will serve you well in almost any conditions. Very good for days with rapidly changing conditions.
IMO it depends a lot on where you ski. Ignitor is a pretty good sunny lens here in the PNW. If I was back in NM still, I'd want something darker like the sol-x.
Green Sol-X/ Sensor combo has been perfect in the inland NW
Blue sensor is better in flat light than the red sensor, for me. I also have Green Sol-X, whicb is fantastic on absolute bluebird days. I just picked up the Ignitor, which I might try on changeable days, but haven't field tested yet. The Green Sol-X was a little dark when I went into trees.
It makes a HUDGE difference. I also have a serious red green deficiency, and find that rose base tinted lenses work very well for me for low light (I ski WB a lot, so low light is a fact of life.)
recently starting wearing Costa sunglasses with a green lens which are incredible. Now you guys go tme thinking to try a green with the Blue sensor. BTW I have the red and its almost as god as the blue, for uber grey and flat days, the blue still gets the edge IMHO.

SmartAsset recently released a study that shows the percentage of income necessary to pay rent in America's largest cities. Staffer Amanda Dixon explains some of the trends that were seen on the list this year such as three cities seeing their average rental rates fall between this year and last as well as rising rates in the Southwest.
According to the study, San Francisco is the place where the most of your income will go towards paying rent:
If you're moving to San Francisco, be prepared to spend a significant portion of your salary on housing. You'll find the country's most expensive rental markets in the Golden City. To afford a two-bedroom apartment, you'll need to make at least $216,129 annually.
While rental rates have increased in recent years, wages haven't kept up. The median household income in the city is only $78,378.

Inhaltsangabe: From the creator of FAIRIE-ALITY, an eerie tale-within-a-tale weaves stunning photographs into a thrilling, time-shifting mystery that leaves readers questioning what is real.
Some say the English Downs are haunted by fairy creatures ? and that those who find a flint stone with a hole through it can look into the fairies' realm. It is just such a stone that leads photographer David Ellwand on a dark journey to the past, one that starts with a musty wooden chest and a nineteenth-century journal and ends with a disappearance as sudden as a vintage camera's flash. In this journal-within-a-journal, illustrated by Ellwand's exquisite photographs, lies a tale of archaeologists and fairies, human hubris and otherworldly revenge, the magic of the natural world and the mystery of the imagination.
Inhaltsangabe: An illustrated gothic novella told in three parts that may just convince you that fairies really do exist!

Amused by Les Coleman's witty sentences and drawings in Afterthunks I drifted to its publisher, Boekie Woekie in Amsterdam and their interesting list. Which reminded me I'd never linked to the excellent Coracle Press (whose Journal I also enjoy).

Thinking of the bankruptcy of Kodak I was reminded of this paragraph from Mark Twain's King Leopold's Soliloquy: A Defense of His Congo Rule – and if you're as ignorant of Leopold and his fiefdom as I was it's worth a little research.
The kodak has been a sore calamity to us. The most powerful enemy that has confronted us, indeed. In the early years we had no trouble in getting the press to "expose" the tales of the mutilations as slanders, lies, inventions of busy-body American missionaries and exasperated foreigners who found the "open door" of the Berlin-Congo charter closed against them when they innocently went out there to trade; and by the press's help we got the Christian nations everywhere to turn an irritated and unbelieving ear to those tales and say hard things about the tellers of them. Yes, all things went harmoniously and pleasantly in those good days, and I was looked up to as the benefactor of a down-trodden and friendless people. Then all of a sudden came the crash! That is to say, the incorruptible kodak — and all the harmony went to hell! The only witness I have encountered in my long experience that I couldn't bribe. Every Yankee missionary and every interrupted trader sent home and got one; and now — oh, well, the pictures get sneaked around everywhere, in spite of all we can do to ferret them out and suppress them. Ten thousand pulpits and ten thousand presses are saying the good word for me all the time and placidly and convincingly denying the mutilations. Then that trivial little kodak, that a child can carry in its pocket, gets up, uttering never a word, and knocks them dumb!
Still Life
I couldn't sleep, so after doing some odds and ends I went out, before 6am. for a short walk. Still dark, no traffic yet on the main road beside the sea. As I reached the kerb, two foxes trotted by, following the white line in the centre of the roadway. They noticed me and the smaller flashed off into the dark towards the beach. The larger paused, regarded me calmly, then just continued to trot westward along the crown of the empty road, looking healthy, tail raised, seeming almost white and ghostly under the yellow sodium lamps.

Yellow-billed Spoonbill Platalea flavipes, Jerrabomberra Wetlands Nature Reserve, Canberra. Taken on a morning visit to one of my favourite local sites, where this beautiful bird had finished feeding for the time being and was carefully cleaning and aligning each feather in turn. Another favourite pic from January can be seen here, in the form of a lovely cicada. |
Marine Otter Lontra felina (and lunch), Puñihuil, Isla de Chiloé, Chile. Patagonia offers amazing scenic photography opportunities, but in the end I settled on this fortuitous shot of a rare species from a small boat off the Puñihuil Islands. Marine Otters are found along the southern west coast of South America and just around the corner into Argentina. They are essentially a fresh-water otter which has evolved to a marine lifestyle; they are not at all the same as the big Sea Otters of western North America. |

Van de Cappelle was one of the leading marine painters of 17th-century Holland. He was born in Amsterdam, the son of a wealthy dyer. His output consists mainly of estuary, river and calm water scenes; he also produced about forty winter landscapes. He is said to have been self-taught, and was influenced by the work of Simon de Vlieger who spent his last years at Weesp, near Amsterdam.
In 1653 van de Cappelle acquired Amsterdam citizenship and he bought a house there in 1661. From 1663 he may have devoted his energies largely to commerce. Van de Cappelle amassed a large art collection, including sixteen paintings by Jan Porcellis, a pioneering seascape painter of the early 17th century, and nine by de Vlieger, as well as many of his drawings; Rembrandt and Avercamp were also represented in his Collection by large numbers of drawings.

Customers form opinions about brands from the news stories and reviews they read online. Not only can false information confuse customers' perceptions about a brand, but it can tarnish a company's reputation, resulting in loss of business and missed business opportunities.
To overcome these threats and foster positive perceptions, leading brands are implementing content moderation strategies. Through a combination of human insight and automation, these strategies allow brands to monitor, flag, and respond to objectionable, user-generated content.
This month, TeleTech's eNewsletter, Dialogue takes a close look at how brands can use content moderation strategies to protect their reputations and deepen their relationships with customers.
The March issue includes:
- A white paper detailing how to define, implement, and manage successful content moderation strategies.
- A look at how global brands can balance the benefits and challenges associated with job repatriation.
- An explanation from customer experience leader Brian Solis on why the future of business is experiential.
- A series of cartoons that highlight the humorous side of customer experience simplicity.
The Dialogue eNewsletter is published 12 times a year and has been designed to inspire customer experience excellence. Each issue contains the best customer-centric thought leadership and in-depth research articles. Click here to subscribe.

QSL Manager for FM/DD5ZZ 20.12.2016 - all direct cards were sent, the others were sent via DARC bureau Hello OM's and YL's, First some words about me:I was born 1980, in the time where there was no internet ;-) In my childhood it was a technical wonder to own a "Walkman"... My first contact with HF was with some cheap CB handhelds... in 1993 i bought a "dnt Formel 1" 40 Channel CB FM radio, together with my best friend Jürgen, DL5BB. I was interested in shortwave amateur radio, but feared the cw test for the licence, so i saw some nice shacks, but never tried to get a callsign. I made a vocational training in "communication electronics" specialiced in radio technics. But it should take last until 2009 when i made the german "Class E licence" and one year later, i upgraded to the Licence Class A and got full access to the shortwave. My first Callsign was DO1TKS, upgraded with DL3SG and changed to DM5EM in August 2016. Since this time, my main reason to waste time is chasing DX and raise my DXCC count... I am married to my beloved YL Katja since 2006 and blessed with two lovely children - Tobias (*2008) and Sarah Liv (*2012). Since 2007, when we moved from Stuttgart to Franconia, the northern part of Bavaria, we live near Würzburg. Since 2009 my home is the small village of Eisenheim, in a beautiful landscape at the lower end of a wine hill, called "Mount Everest for HF signals" because it blocks the way over the north pole to Oceania. Here are some pictures of our home village: My Shack: No big gun station, but all i need can be found here: TRX: SunSDR2 Pro from Expert Electronics Elecraft KX3 Baofeng UV-5R and Alinco DJ580E for portable VHF/UHF PA: Ameritron AL-811H (max. 750Watts) Driver PA for the SDR's: RM HLA 300(V)+ Tokyo Hy-Power HL-60V for 144MHz Accessories: MicroHam USB 3 Interface for Digimodes Yaesu G-1000DXC Rotor for OB9-5 Yaesu G-800S (for 6m & 2m) Headset Mic: Heil ProSet Elite Antennas: Our house from north to south, October 2015 80m: Inverted V Dipol 60m: Groundplane GFK vertical antenna 40m: Rotary Dipol MHF1e/40 30/40/80m - HF2V homebrew scrap material antenna 20-10m: Optibeam 9-5 (with G-1000DXC Rotor) 6m: Tonna 5ele Yagi (with G-800S Rotor) 2m + 70cm: Diamond X-30 Mobile & Portable: TRX: Icom 7000 Antennas: Diamond NR-770R or CR-77 for VHF/UHF Diamond HFX-20 & HFX-40 for 2m SSB portable: 8 elements Jaybeam Yagi (an older one, but still works fine) HF: ca. 8.5m Multiband 20-10m Vertical (Design DL5BB) with matchbox May 2015 at Lighthouse Heidkate (JO54EJ) at the baltic sea's coast - portable on 20 & 40m at my 35th birthday (picture taken after 23h, still some brightness on the sky, more than 1h more than at home). My last company car with special plate - at the moment (newer car) i only changed the numbers to 7388 ;-) For holidays we have a Dethleffs 560 SK Rally Edition (2009) Caravan - i really love it and enjoying every day with it making vacations on the baltic or mediteranian sea - we visited some countries during the last 12 years - SM, OZ, SP, OE, HB9, F, I, 9A - but sadly nothing far away because traveling is expensive ;-). Mostly our summer holiday is in IK3 near Venice - the place i was in my childhood, and still a very lovely place called "2nd home" a bit - Union Lido Campsite. Sometimes there's some free time at vacation for some QSOs but most of the time we have family time. So i'm glad about every single QSO i could make with my small portable eqipment (with my 857D with 100w's and various antennas. During camping holidays i will be QRV most of the time in RTTY, PSK31 and maybe some CW, but very little SSB because of the noise) Memberships: I am Chairman of the DARC DOK B18, Würzburg since April 2013 and also QSL manager there. I also hold our educational call DN3CQ and Contest clubstation call DM6M. I am member of the German DX Foundation (#899 since November 2013) Member of "Amateurfunk Unterfranken e.V." @ DL0TP Since January 2016 also Member of the FACW e.V. in Weinheim (UKW-Tagung) with Clubstation DL0WH My main interest is shortwave DX'ing, chasing bandpoints and the last missing "new one's" A big dream would be part of a DXpedition to a rare place (where my YL let me go ;-) but i think i would never have enough money for it. So if you're reading this and searching for a "rookie" on your DXpedition - feel free to ask me - i would be happy anyway to make something possible...! There are still some DXCC's missing (expecially in the Southern Pacific Region (not easy to reach from my QTH). At the moment (Januar 2017) i have 309 DXCC's in my log, so every new one is a hard fight... QSL Information: I prefer paper QSL's and send mostly via bureau and confirming every card with the same way. Direct is also possible, there is no need for IRC or $'s (It's a hobby and it's a pleasure for me...). I also upload my log to LOTW and eQSL mostly once a month. SWL Cards are also welcome and appreciated! Contact: You could reach me on the bands, via email or via facebook. Für deutsche OM's: BITTE KEINE TELEFONANRUFE da meine Familie & meine Firma nichts mit dem Hobby zu tun haben (wollen *g). Bitte schickt mir bei Bedarf eine Mail :-) I hope to hear you on the frequencies - if you hear me, give me a call! 73 es good DX de Sven -DM5EM I support the DX Code of Conduct: There's no way around good pileup practice and discipline. Any distortions on a rare DX costs a few contacts, remember - when you would work them and you are talking over others signals, somedays the same could happen to you and you also miss a rare one... so please please please take a look at the DX Code of Conduct and think about! ...and at least i have to say many many thanks to: My lovely YL Katja for accepting my hobby (sometimes, but she normally hates it....;-) and my both children Tobias and Sarah for giving me so much i couldn't put in words! Maybe one day they also get into this beautiful hobby ;-) ???

I love people with a good sense of humor. I also like reading the "best-of-craigslist" posts on craigslist. (Craigslist is a website where you can post jobs, things for sale, personal ads, etc.) This is a real ad that was on the Craigslist California board:
left handed vintage air guitar for free all thats needed is new strings and a good dusting.

How early should I buy my textbooks/course material through the Virtual Bookstore?
We encourage students to order early enough to have their books on the first day of the class. To take advantage of the free or reduced economy shipping offered by the Virtual Bookstore, we recommend placing your order 10-12 days before the class starts. Order times can be reduced if you are willing to pay additional shipping fees for standard or express delivery. Click here for more information regarding shipping costs and order times.
How are delivery times calculated for my Virtual Bookstore order?
In-Stock orders are processed for shipping in 1-2 business days. Orders placed after 11am EST will not be processed until the next business day. Business days are Monday through Friday. Orders will not be shipped or delivered on Saturdays and Sundays in most cases. Severe weather conditions may also add unexpected delays. To calculate when an item will be delivered, add the availability time of an item and the processing time to the delivery method time of the shipping option you selected.
Availability Time + Processing + Delivery method Ship time = Total Delivery Time
Example: A book that is available to ship in 2 to 3 days (appears as In Stock 2-3 days) and is sent via Standard Ground Shipping (usually takes 1-5 Business days) will arrive in a total of 5-10 business days.
When all or part of your order ships, you are emailed a shipment confirmation. This email contains your UPS/United Parcel Service tracking number or USPS/United States Postal Service delivery confirmation number. Your package tracking information is also available to you in the My Account section of your Virtual Bookstore.

The 2017 BMW X5 M combines everyday practicality with supercar acceleration in an aggressively styled package. Think of it as a sport sedan, only with a hatchback and all-wheel drive.
- Astounding acceleration
- Comprehensively equipped
- Upscale interior with excellent fit and finish.
- Touchy gas pedal
- Ride may be too firm for some tastes
- No third-row seat offered
- IDrive still requires too many clicks to accomplish everyday tasks.

One diabetes diagnosis per minute - 05 January 2009
I ran across this article while looking for something else, thought it interesting so thought I would share, I know not all of us on the site are from North America.
One person is diagnosed with diabetes every three minutes in the UK, a new report has found.
The 'Diabetes in the UK 2008: key statistics' report, published by the charity Diabetes UK, shows that almost 150,000 people were diagnosed with diabetes last year - up from 100,000 in 2007.
One of the worrying statistics contained in the report is the estimate that 20 per cent of the south Asian community and 17 per cent of black Africans and Caribbean people have type-2 diabetes, compared with just three per cent of the general population.
Douglas Smallwood, chief executive of Diabetes UK, described the condition as 'one of the biggest health challenges of our time'.
'Diabetes UK wants the government to put diabetes at the top of the health agenda in 2009,' he said.
'People need to be supported to make changes to their lifestyle - such as eating healthily, losing weight if appropriate and being physically active - in order to reduce their risk of developing type-2 diabetes.'
The condition develops when blood glucose levels become too high because the body is unable to use it properly.

Test Authoring and Execution Framework (TAEF) provides a mechanism to selectively run or omit certain tests based on the metadata information you provide. The following section goes through various examples of how to use this selection mechanism with TE.exe.
You can run TE.exe from a command prompt window.
TE <test_binaries> [/select:<selection criteria>]
This section describes the TE.exe /select:selection criteria option. For more information about TE.exe, see TE.exe Command Options.
The selection criteria gets applied globally to all the test binaries that have been mentioned at the command prompt. Let's consider two test_binaries: Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll and Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll . The following example shows the properties, or metadata, specifed at the various levels in these test_binaries. You can also obtain this by specifying the /listproperties option in the Command Prompt window.
CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll (Owner="C1", Priority=3)
class11 (Owner="C2")
method112 (BackwardsCompatibility="Windows 2000")
CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll (Owner="WEX")
class21 (Owner="C1", Priority=2, BackwardsCompatibility="Windows XP")
method211 (Owner="C2")
class22 (Owner="U3")
In other words, by using /listproperties on each one of these test_binaries separately, you get:
F:\fsd1.binaries.x86chk\WexTest\C1\TestExecution>te Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll /listproperties
Test Authoring and Execution Framework v2.2 Build 6.1.7689.0 (release.091218-1251) for x86
Property[Owner] = C1
Property[Priority] = 3
Property[Owner] = C2
Property[Priority] = 1
Property[BackwardsCompatibility] = Windows2000
F:\fsd1.binaries.x86chk\WexTest\C1\TestExecution>te Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll /listproperties
Test Authoring and Execution Framework v2.2 Build 6.1.7689.0 (release.091218-1251) for x86
Property[Owner] = WEX
Property[BackwardsCompatibility] = Windows XP
Property[Owner] = C1
Property[Priority] = 2
Property[Owner] = C2
Property[Owner] = U3
It is important to note at this point that test_binaries are listed along with their full path, and class names are listed as "<Namespace>::<ClassName>" in the case of native test_binaries and "<Namespace>.<ClassName>" in the case of managed test_binaries. Similarly, test method names are listed as "<Namespace>::<ClassName>::<TestMethodName>" in the case of native test_binaries and "<Namespace>.<ClassName>.<TestMethodName>" in the case of managed test_binaries.
In other words, the fully qualified name of any name or function is what is saved in te. This is to allow the ability to uniquely distinguish any method. For example if two classes have the same method name, the class qualification helps to uniquely select the method you are interested it. Toward this end, selection criteria helps to run only those tests that match your criteria in the given test_binaries.
In the above example, say in Examples\Cpp.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll, you can choose "Method111" by any of the following selection criteria:
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll /select:"@Name='WEX::TestExecution::Examples::Class11::Method111'"
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll /select:"@Name='*Class11::Method111'"
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll /select:"@Name='*Method111'"
You can choose to run all tests that have been marked up with "Priority" less than 2 by running:
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll /select:"@Priority < 2"
This would run only Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll - "class11::method111" in our example.
If you want to run all tests under class11, you could use the qualified "Name" property along with wildcard matching to choose it as follows:
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll
When using selection criteria, there are some things useful to keep in mind:
- "and", "not", and "or" are reserved words and are case insensitive.
- metadata property names and values are case insensitive, for example "C2" in the example, would match "c2" and "C2". Hence if you have one function with metadata "property" and another with "Property" and the selection criteria is looking for "PROPERTY", it would match both of these.
- String value in the selection query string should be included in single quotes. Within a string value in selection query "?" is a single wildcard character and "*" is 0 or more wildcard characters.
- While using quotes at your command prompt, be mindful of smart quotes when you copy over a selection query. If you copy over a selection query from an Outlook e-mail, you may accidentally have smart quotes, and TAEF may be unable to parse it. Type out the quotes instead.
Let's go over some quick examples of compound selection criteria and what they would execute.
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll \
/select:"@Owner='C2' AND @Priority=2"
Will run:
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll - class21::method211
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll \
/select:"@Owner='C2' AND @Priority=3"
Will run:
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll - class11::method112
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll \
/select:"@Owner='U3' oR @Priority=1"
Will run:
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll - class11::method111
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll - class22::method221
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll \
Will run all tests where BackwardsCompatibility value has not been specified. (See the following items.)
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll - class11::method111, class12::method121
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll - class22::method221
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll \
will run all tests where Owner value starts with "C" (case insensitive). Thus, the previous command will run all tests in Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll and all tests in Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll under class21 (that is, method211)
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll \
/select:"not(@BackwardsCompatibility=*) OR (@Owner='C*' AND @BackwardsCompatibility='*XP*')"
will run all tests where either the BackwardsCompatibility is not specified or, where the owner name begins with "C" and backwardsCompatibilty value contains XP. NOTE how the parenthesis "(" and ")" are used to specify the precedence order.
In the example, this would selectively run:
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll - class11::method111, class12::method121,
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll - class21::method211, class22::method221
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll /select:"@Owner='???'"
will only run tests that have property owner value containing only 3 characters.
In our example, this would match "C" and run only:
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll - class12::method121
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll /select:"@Priority>=1"
NOTE: This is good example of how you can use ">=", "<=", ">" and "<" where propertyvalues are floatvalues.
In our example this would run all methods except Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll - class22::method221, where no prority has been specified. In other words, this would run:
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll - class11::method111, class11::method112, class12::method121
- Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll - class21::method211.
NOTE that you can use "/select" in conjuction with other command options like "/list" "/listproperties" etc.
Smart Quotes
You may encounter smart quotes in your selection criteria if you are copying over a selection criteria from Outlook or Word document back over to your command prompt. You can find more information about what smart quotes are on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_quotes and http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2007/02/20/1724946.aspx
There is no easy way to avoid smart quotes - best approach is to delete all of the " double quotes and ' single quotes in the selection criteria after you have copied it over to the command prompt and retype the quotes part of the query.
There is an options setting to turn them off when creating messages in Outlook. Type "smart quotes" into the Outlook help box to find this.
Quick Name based selection
TAEF allows a quick selection based on name at the command prompt using the '/name' command line parameter:
/name:<test name with wildcards>
is equivalent to:
/select:@Name='<test name with wildcards>'
In other words, you can now provide a selection query based on name like:
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll \
more quickly by using /name like so:
Te.exe Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria1.Example.dll Examples\CPP.SelectionCriteria2.Example.dll /name=*::class11::*
Note that if both /name and /select are provided at the command prompt, then /name is ignored and /select takes precedence.
