Lost S3ep10
I'm going to go out on a limb and say the writers saw Little Miss Sunshine. Pushing the van down the hill to get it started comes right out of the movie. Although, Lost's version was slightly more dramatic.
Sawyer teaching Jin English is hilarious. The three things women need to hear. I guess that's as good a place to start as any. Jin seems to be understanding more, but that also might be that as he becomes more familiar with his fellow Losties he get the meaning from the context. And why is Kate calling Sawyer by his real name? Because she's mad at him? A bit ridiculous IMHO.
Wow - I did not make the connection that Alex might be Rousseau's daughter! That's amazing! (In case you missed it, that's sarcasm folks.)
Return of the Mr. Eye Patch next week! Good.
Grey's Anatomy News
Speaking of Walsh, the rumors that she might be getting her own spin-off seem to be relatively certain. According to my source, if the spin-off sinks, there's a clause in her contract that would allow her to come back to Seattle Grace. What a relief! I'd hate for that to be the end of Addison Montgomery.

Then she reached in her purse again and pulled out a dollar and inserted it in the machine. Studying the machine carefully, she pushed the button for Coke Classic and out came a Coke Classic and 50 cents change.
She immediately took the 50 cents and put it in the machine, studied it for a moment and pushed the Mountain Dew button. Out came a Mountain Dew. As she was reaching into her purse again, the business man who had been waiting patiently for several minutes now spoke up.
"Excuse me Miss, but are you done yet?"
She looked at him and indignantly replied: "Well Duhhh!, I'm still winning"

Small rant on inaccurate journalism
The document appears to raise the possibility of Romney speaking at the presidential library of Bush's father, George H.W. Bush. It is located outside Houston, the same city where Kennedy delivered his speech.
The blueprint, dated December 11, was drafted in part by Alex Castellanos, Romney's media adviser. It is similar to one for GOP rival Rudy Giuliani that was recently obtained and published by the New York Daily News.

Grey's Anatomy S3ep17
So, it was a spirit quest! She had to come to grips with giving up and that her life is worth it because people do depend on her. Though she started out stubborn and refused to acknowledge what was happening, she eventually realized she wasn't alone and that all of her intimacy, daddy, commitment issues are silly and dumb. This sort of serenity is granted almost exclusively to people who have come, or are, extremely close to death or who have had the luck and blessing to live long lives. It is a serenity I work towards, sometimes successfully and sometimes not. I hope Meredith is able to maintain it now that she's alive again. I wonder if she'll remember what happened and what Denny said now. I would love for her to be able to tell Izzie. I picture it like the scene from Rent when Mimi wakes up after almost dying and says she saw Angel, and she looked good! Heehee. So, who is your person? Who are you a person for? It may only be one person, or it may be several, but those are the people who make the effort worth it.
How cute were Denny and Dylan when they were arguing? I loved the "Mr. I've Been Dead Longer" - hilarious scene that was brilliantly written. And Bonnie is Abby Morgan! I wasn't blogging last year so I probably haven't mentioned it but to those Dawson's Creek fans out there, it's her! And when she was initially on the show with the pole through her gut, it was a little disconcerting to see her be nice and sweet and understanding. This episode was more like it, with a little attitude.
Christina was fabulous. First with the best line in this episode, "Shut up and look at my crap!" then with the beastie voice telling Miranda and the Chief to try again. It was like she was possessed. Very scary. I would have done what she said. Then good you're awake and I'm engaged. I'm glad to see she was able to pull it together in the end and go see Meredith. I love to see that.
The deal Addison made with McSteamy is an interesting one. I've been hearing rumors that Shonda Rimes might be writing a two-hour episode for the end of the season which will set up a spin-off for Addison. I think it would be interesting and wonder if this deal is setting something up for such an episode. Addison has been wonderful in these last two episodes. Where some women might struggle with their ex-husband being more upset over the woman he left you for, she has moved on and understands what he's feeling and slaps the sense into him when he's falling apart. Wonderful character growth. Hey Shonda, I'd watch the Addison spin-off.
George is right, Izzie is ruining their relationship. Yes, there are times in a friendship when honesty is required or needed. And yes, there are times when you should shut up and just be there. But now you've told your honest opinion on George's marriage so shut up and be there.
Yesterday at lunch, someone floated the idea out of Meredith's mom dying. Now whether they got this idea from a spoiler source or they just saw it coming, I don't know. I wish I had figured it out before then, it makes perfect sense. One Grey for another. We knew Meredith wasn't really going to die for keeps, and yet last week she was effectively dead. Somehow, what McDreamy said to Ellis, even in her state of Alzheimer's, got through. And she immediately gave up her life so her daughter could go on. Not that I think it was that tough of a decision for her to make with the Alzheimer's and Meredith being her daughter and everything. I was a little teary when Ellis appeared in her after-life and told her she was anything but ordinary. Making that sacrifice is probably the single most selfless and loving thing Ellis has ever done for Meredith. I hope Meredith is able to grow and accept her dad now and begin to mend that relationship. One Grey for another, so beautiful.
Of this trilogy, my favorite would have to be the second episode. Although I loved Denny in this one.

Lost S3ep9
Is Kate disgusted with herself for having sex with Sawyer? She calls him James which she never does. And every time she looks at Sawyer she has this complete look of disgust on her face. It's probably a combination of guilt over the sex (possibly regret?), guilt over leaving Jack, and being ordered around. Kate is a woman who does not like to take orders. From what I've been hearing, we should not count the love triangle closed yet. Although from the gentle touch of Jack as he nursed Juliet's mark, it looks as if he might forget about Kate just a little bit for the forseeable future.
You gotta love that little dig Tom took at Jack at the beginning when they were moving him into the cage. 'See this glass house you're living in? I'll get you some rocks.' What have the Survivors done that someone from the outside might translate them into an aggressive, possible evil/bad group of people? Killed Ethan. Killed Colleen. Locked up, beat up and tortured Ben. Killed the Other among the Tailies (I forget his name now). They crashed on their island! The audacity!
Clearly, Karl has grown up on the island. If he didn't, how in the world did he manage to not know about The Brady Bunch? I had a thought while watching this episode about Ben and Alex. She did not refer to him as her dad. She calls him Ben when talking with other people. Why could this be? I wonder if 'dad' or 'father' is similar to a sort of big brother/big sister role in a fraternity/sorority. It kinda makes sense. Only I'll need more evidence before I come to any sort of conclusion.

Pearls Before Swine
Grey's Anatomy S3ep16
Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod. What a frakkin fantastic episode!
1. Presuming this episode is continuing in time right behind last week's, how does someone only tread water for 30 seconds and then give up? Maybe she can't swim or the shock or fall knocked the wind/fight out of her. Or then again maybe a few minutes has passed from the time she fell in to when we caught back up with her. But holy crap she was as blue as her scrubs when McDreamy pulled her out of the water.
2. Every single one of them had the same look of shock and disbelief on their faces when they saw/heard about Meredith. Probably the last thing they expected.
3. How just like a boss to give you a project without any guidelines and then say figure it out. But Alex rose to the challenge in a very creative way. I can only imagine what the craziness would have been like if he hadn't figured out a system. If only he hadn't been so eager to find the identity of the pregnant Jane Doe, he wouldn't have gotten his or the husband's hopes up. I'm interested to know why Alex is so heavily invested in this woman. I wonder if it goes beyond the ferry accident or just some subconscious connection when he pulled that beam off of her when everyone else had left her for dead.
4. Just like Christina to think of herself during such a tragedy. Because telling Meredith you're engaged is more important than helping people find lost loved ones or saving lives. But they can't all of a sudden have Christina act noble all the time. That would be weird.
5. When Izzie was drilling holes in that guy's head, I couldn't even watch the TV. I have no idea if they even showed a bit of it but the thought that she was taking a power drill you could buy at Wal-Mart and putting holes in some guys head, I just couldn't watch. How do you suppose they close those holes? You can't really stitch or staple bone. Maybe metal plates? I really have no clue but the thought of holes in my skull makes me squeamish.
6. So sweet of McSteamy to sit by McDreamy and offer support. Those are the best friends in the world: the ones that when you're really grieving or struggling provide more comfort and say more by their silence and presence than any one could ever say with words. And McDreamy let him stay. McSteamy at the core isn't that bad of a guy! And perhaps we're seeing the beginning of the mending of their relationship. I'd really like to see McSteamy, Burke and McDreamy on boy's night out. I think it'd be hilarious.
7. Now the important part. Just thinking about it, I'm starting to hyperventilate again. Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod. So I screamed a little when they showed Dylan (the bomb guy in case you forgot his name played by Kyle Chandler formerly of Early Edition and currently of Friday Night Lights the television show). And then the camera cut to Denny. I'm sure my neighbors thought I was being tortured or something because my scream was so loud. Don't get me wrong. They're not going to kill off Meredith. For goodness sake, she's the namesake of the show. If there's no Meredith Grey, there's no Grey's Anatomy (no matter how much I might wish it). It's like doing the Cosby Show without Bill Cosby or The Sopranos without the Sopranos. It doesn't work. However, I don't think Shonda Rimes would bring these two guys back, especially Denny, without a reason. They must have some point to prove. But what? Offer Meredith guidance for picking a specialty? Tell her to forgive her mother? Tell her to marry McDreamy? None of those seem right or big enough that would warrant the return of Dylan and Denny. I do so love seeing Denny again though. I miss him.
I would love to hear your thoughts and theories. So comment if you have any!

Lost S3ep8
2. Perhaps Charlie is slightly jealous of Desmond playing the knight in shining armor? At least until he realizes he was the one being truly saved, not Claire.
3. A rare occurence in the show, Lost includes unoriginal music in tonight's episode. Well, at least this is the first time I consciously noticed it. Generally, the music on Lost are original compositions. And since the Lost writers are famous, or perhaps infamous, for including small clues and easter eggs throughout the episodes, I wonder if the songs from this episode mean anything deeper. The first one was Building a Mystery by Sarah McLachlan. The second one, Wonderwall originally by Oasis, was being played on the streets by Charlie. The last one was Make Your Own Kind of Music by Cass Elliot, originally of Mamas and Papas. I think Sarah's song we're supposed to take the surface level. Wonderwall is about figuring out where your path lies and taking it despite obstacles. But maybe this wasn't about Desmond finding his path but Charlie. Especially considering Charlie is the one Desmond's been saving not Claire and Charlie was the one singing the song. Mama Cass' song Make Your Own Kind of Music was playing the first time we met Desmond in the season premiere of the second season at the very beginning as we watched him around the hatch. (Don't be too impressed. A small amount of research turned that information up. I didn't remember it by myself.) I haven't been able to find any reference to an airing of the other two songs in previous episodes. Though that doesn't mean it didn't happen. If anyone knows, please comment. I'm interested to know if they didn't play before.

Hump Day Humor: Lots of Link
Now, moving on, I've got several links for you today. The first is a video from Mad TV spoofing a John Madden endorsement. Quite funny. The second link is also a video, this time a look at the "truth in ad sales" or advertising for us non-Brits. Quite hilarious if you have any insight into the industry. For those that don't it's still pretty funny. This final link is not a video, but a game. I hope everyone heard about the Aqua Teen Hunger Force crisis in Boston. The LiteBrites were part of a guerilla campaign and some thought they were bombs and arrested the two guys that put them up around the city. Well, some clever person developed a game where you are supposed to click on the little guys before they disappear similar to the whack a mole games. More Than a Feeling by Boston plays in the background and each time the little guy pops up he says some Boston related phrase in a Boston accent like "clam chowdah", "pawwk the caw", "tom brady" or "bill buckner". Quite fun and addicting.

Grey's Anatomy S3ep11
1. Ah, so conveniently we forgot about the $8.7 million check, or at least I did. It was her final connection to Denny and I can understand her reluctance to let go of it, especially because she doesn't think she's worthy of the gift. I guess that is what's motivating her to do some good with the money. And it looks like she may have found her cause, although according to the preview for next week, Miranda might stand in her way, at least a little bit.
2. Two scenes of McDreamy watching Meredith sleep? I need an insulin shot. Did you notice the red, silky, sexy sheets? I got the impression that they were meant to add something to the scenes, and yet I got nothing out of it. I'm beginning to wonder if some of the chemistry is waning between the two of them.
3. I have never seen such enthusiastic pee dancing than Callie and George. Not to mention I've never seen anyone pee dance because of a certain amount of pee, usually they dance because they have to pee. It was quite fun to see them cut loose. And perhaps become friends again? Although that kiss looked a little more than friendly.
4. What happened this week that makes McSteamy hurt? I've got some band-aids and other medicine to help him feel better. In the preview for next week it looks like something to do with a baby. Did Addison have an abortion? Secretly take birth control so she wouldn't get pregnant and McSteamy found out? Was this when she left him and she used the baby things as an excuse? I must say, I'm quite interested to find out what could hurt him so deeply.
5. Burke seems to be enjoying his little game of Say Uncle with Christina. Although George is right, they have a weird relationship. I was so glad to hear Burke say that it wasn't over, just silent. And with those two, things never stay silent for very long.
6. I had mentioned in my post for episode 9 that I wasn't yet on the bandwagon of Alex/Addison. I've decided tonight that I'm absolutely staying off of it. I like Addison, and I love Alex. But not together. It's weird and creepy and these doctors need to get out of that freakin hospital and date some normal people! Perhaps that's why Miranda seems so sane compared to the rest sometimes because she's married to a non-doctor. I love that Alex has decided to stay on the gyne-squad (at least it seems so currently, I guess we'll have to wait to see if it lasts). They're on such different levels that it doesn't work for me. Their both screwed up sure. But Addison seems more level headed and definitely more mature than Alex. I hope it doesn't last long.
7. Best line of the episode: "Death is not the worst thing" So true and it reminds me of another of my favorite blog subjects: Harry Potter. In which Dumbledore says "To a well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure" There is a lesson here. I don't think I've learned the whole thing yet, but definitely a piece of it. And I hope you all have as well.
8. "Six Days" - that's the title of this episode. I don't get it. Has it supposedly only been six days since we last saw our favorite doctors? In six days (Grey's time) is something major supposed to happen that will completely change their world? I did hear that the SuperBowl episode this year is supposed to be even better than last year's. Exactly how you top a live grenade in someone's gut and blowing someone up within 15 feet of Meredith, I have absolutely no clue but I'm really looking forward to finding out (not to mention being days away from have Lost back on the air - Okay now I'm really done).
9. OT: A little news - okay rumor - for you :: I heard a little rumor this week that a main character may be departing the show soon. I have not heard who this might be - although we could all theorize - but will keep you updated on anything I hear.

Web 2.0 Video
AT LAST: Lost S3ep7!!!
1. So, Juliet was not born on the island like Ben. She was brought to it. Seduced by a hunky man with promises of top research and Ethan makes another appearance. She was also held captive. Clearly, she was brought to help The Others have kids and increase their numbers. Was Ethan driving that bus that killed her ex-husband?? I think we all agree Mr. Albert didn't forget that comment. We know The Others are determined to have their way and will stoop to anything to get it, even murder. But how did she get there?
2. So either Alex is really the daughter of Ben or the daughter of Rousseau (sp?). I'm betting that she's the daughter of Rousseau but brought up to believe Ben is her father. Or Ben got Rousseau pregnant and both statements are true. Although I think Rousseau said in Season 1 that she was pregnant when they were marooned.
3. Tom was hitting on Jack!! I hope they continue that story line because it would be highly interesting.
4. Are we ever going to get back to the other survivors? I want to hear more about Hurley, Charlie, Claire, Desmond, Locke, Sayid, et al. Please please please can we take a break from the Alcatraz island for at least one whole episode?!
5. The Others seem more and more like a cult. Brainwashing and sensory deprivation? Experiments? I'll be disappointed if it turns out The Others are funded by members. I'm not quite sure what I'm hoping for but a cult seems too easy an answer.
6. Speaking of, where are the answers we've been promised! All we seem to be getting are more questions. I want answers dammit!

HP: 7th Horcrux Theory
We know Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow on Halloween night in 1981 to kill Harry. It's safe to presume that he was planning to make his final horcrux that night. He used a spell that was blocked by Lily's sacrifice, and he was reduced to vapor. Up until the release of HBP, I had presumed, along with most other readers, that the spell he had used on Harry was Avada Kedavra. But we were supposed to assume that. Fake Moody/Crouch Jr. pointed it out in DADA that the only known person to survive the AK is Harry. But remember Crouch Jr. was not at Godric's Hollow that night, and he very likely knows nothing about Voldy's horcruxes. He also states in the same class that the AK is an Unforgivable Curse because it is unblockable. So it's not unforgivable because it's the killing curse but because no spell can block it. Why should we assume that Lily's sacrifice would work as a block? Because Jo wanted us to. Red herring! There is more than one way to kill a witch or wizard. Remember the Sectumsempra spell in HBP? Draco surely would have died from blood loss had Snape not come in and sewed up his wounds. What else do we know?
Slughorn told Tom Riddle, along with what a horcrux is, that a certain spell creates a horcrux. He did not say it takes a pair of spells. I do think that any murder causes a split in the soul. But while the AK may cause the soul to split, it does not remove the soul from the body. Hence, I think it's safe to presume that Voldemort did not use an AK on Harry that fateful night. While we don't know what the horcrux spell is, I believe it is a spell that not only murders the victim but obliterates that person. Then the energy from the annihilation goes through the caster causing the piece of his soul that split to be removed and subsequently housed in an object deliberately placed in the line of fire. This spell could reasonably be blockable. Hence, Lily's sacrifice caused Voldemort's spell to backfire on himself. Rather than Harry being annihilated it was Voldemort, causing the energy to go in the direction opposite of the artifact he brought with him. So what was directly in the path of this energy, carrying Voldy's soul? Harry.
I've heard several theories from people who subscribe to the belief that Harry's scar is a horcrux on how Harry will have to rid himself of that extra piece of soul. It varies from Harry having to throw himself through the veil at the Department of Mysteries to anchor Voldemort's soul on the other side to having a Dementor give him a kiss to extract the soul. None of what I've seen so far as to what Harry will do has gotten me excited or seemed plausible enough that Jo might take that route. I'm still open to ideas on how to close that particular mystery. But I'm convinced that Harry's scar is a horcrux, and I'll more than likely will remain so until DH is published this July.

Grey's Anatomy S3ep14
2. Izzie was so intense staring at the doors to the clinic at the beginning. She looked like if she could will it, patients would have started walking in at that moment.
3. 8 days after a proposal and no decision yet? Burke has got some incredible patience. And where did he get that ring? Holy crap! I didn't see any ring last week and it seemed more like an off the cuff thing rather than a planned proposal. But at the end they were so cute sticking to their individual guns and then celebrating the fact that they were getting married! I'm so glad that they had the moment of happiness after everything they went through with the initial surgery, tremor and second surgery. Well deserved and well written.
4. Addison has got one dirty mind. You just know what she was picturing all those scenes where she was staring at Alex. It was so plainly written on her face. But what gets me is the nerve of that woman to picture someone else while she has McSteamy in bed with her. He's more than enough, and she doesn't appreciate him. McSteamy, give me a call - I'll appreciate you.
5. Wow - Ellis' rant on being extraordinary. Talk about a downer. That would make the happiest people feel bad about themselves. But what Ellis realized later is that sometimes being ordinary is extraordinary because extraordinary people aren't always happy despite the wonderful things they can do but ordinary people know those joys which can seem out of reach. It was heartbreaking to see Meredith finally able to tell it like it is to her mother and stand up to her but Ellis was no longer lucid which made the confession worthless.
6. I LOVE Miranda! She has an incredible way of putting you in your place by emphasizing the situation in ways that no one else comes even close to. Sometimes it takes hard truths to get a message across and she has no interest in sugar-coating or babying anyone whatever their situation if there's something that needs to be told. She has that gift and knows, what Izzie has yet to learn, that changing one life is precious and worth all the money in the world.
7. So according to my sources, the big disaster for the next three weeks is a ferry fire. It was unclear whether it's terrorism, accidental or otherwise intentional. And it's said that this story line is supposed to be better than last year's live bomb in the guy's gut. So it should be interesting to say the least.

Operating from one single Facebook URL www.facebook.com/malaysiaairlines, the global strategy is aimed at meeting the rise in demand for localized content from the airline's key markets.
Facilitated by Rally, IPG Mediabrand's social media specialist agency, the exercise will help Malaysia Airlines uncover deeper insights on what drives travel volumes and deliver a more personalized travel experience for each market.
This "glocal" approach ensures that Malaysia Airlines remains a global brand while tailoring its campaigns to the unique travelling habits of each region. It also brings Malaysia Airlines the convenience of managing one global community so the airline can focus its efforts and streamline its resources, while increasing the effectiveness of its marketing strategy.
Khairul Syahar Khalid, Malaysia Airlines' Head of Advertising & Promotions said, "We aim to unleash the full potential of digital in driving our story while championing the position of a truly global airline that engages its customers on a personal level to serve them better." He added, "This is only the first step in our long journey."
Prashant Kumar, IPG Mediabrands Asia World Markets president and CEO of Malaysia said that the initiative is seen as a bold step forward for smart media investment and the airline industry as a whole. The campaign also signifies a sign of the maturity and measurability of the social media scene in the country.
"Malaysia Airlines has steadily reinvented its marketing economics to accelerate the future, and we all know that the future is social. We are very excited to help Malaysia Airlines with their their global investment and approach on Facebook." Kumar said.
Engaging global customers on a local level

- The global Facebook page will cover markets including Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, India, Ireland, UK, France, Netherlands and Germany. Other countries will be assigned to the Global page.
- The timelines will operate in local languages like English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, French, German, Dutch, Japanese, Bahasa Indonesia and Korean.
Benefits of the global deal
- Consumer insights that will help MAS understand the travelling habits of its frequent fliers in each region to devise locally relevant travel deals and build long term relationships.
- The deal brings MAS a first-hand preview of new Facebook ad products before any other clients in Malaysia, monthly work-in-progress reports, brand and product tracking and consumer insights polls.
- Better cost savings and less wastage on advertising, which comes with the streamlining of the pages and communication messages.
Launching global campaign: Journeys are made by the people you travel with
- With the launch of the global Facebook page, Malaysia Airlines has initiated a global campaign: Journeys are made by the people you travel with.
- The campaign is about how everyone is on a journey and how Malaysia Airlines can help take that first step to start a journey.
- To execute these local campaigns successfully and keep the timelines updated, all 17 countries will have dedicated social media teams in charge of content development.
- This will ensure timely, fresh content every day which is seen as key to build strong lasting relationships with customers which will then have a positive impact on the bottom line.

Picture: The View from the Shard ticket The View from The Shard is London's newest and most eagerly anticipated attraction that opens to the public on...
The View star Kieren Webster can now add artist to his resume after designing the cover work for fellow Scottish rockers Vladimir's latest album.
The Wasted Little Djs hitmaker has long been a fan of the thrash metal band and personally approached them to ask if he could do the artwork for their next release.
They agreed and have now unveiled the fruits of Webster's labour - the cover for the band's next as-yet untitled Ep features a black and white photograph of a half-destroyed high rise building block in the group's native Dundee, taken by Webster.
Vladimir singer Ross Murray tells Scotland's Daily Record Saturday, "Kieren is a fan. He used to tweet saying stuff like, 'listening to Vladimir getting me right in the mood to go out'. Then, he appeared at our gig in King Tut's (venue) last year and asked if he could do the artwork for our next release."

Indexed Views
Views are used quite often within SQL Server for a number of reasons. They can be used to restrict access to tables (restrict the columns viewable or the records returned) , combine multiple tables into a single 'virtual table', or apply specific sets of formulas(like avg cost or an item). A view is a virtual object, in that its definition exists within SQL Server and it can be queried just like a table, but has no physical form. It is 'materialized' at query time. An often overlooked type of view is called an Indexed View.
An Indexed View is basically a view that has a clustered index attached to it. This means that the view is no longer a virtual object instantiated at query time, but takes up space and exists outside of the any query. You might be asking yourself, 'Why would I do this? Why not just have a table with the necessary data?' The answer is simple: Performance
The situation in which I built an Indexed View is as follows: We have a DSS server with a table that maintains a history of transactions going back 18 years, containing over 370 million rows. The server has 16 CPUs, 32GB of ram, and is connected to a 'communal' SAN. There are numerous applications that need to calculate life to date quantity sold for any given book (I am in the publishing industry) at any given time. We found that calculating this on the fly was unpredictable, so we built an Indexed View. The view contains the necessary aggregates, which in this case is a sum of qty, to satisfy the applications. The neat piece is that as data is inserted/updated/deleted from the base table this index is built off of, the aggregate is maintained as well since it is part of the view. What took tens of thousands of I/Os now takes dozens. There is a trade-off for this: maintenance of the base table.
Our base table is managed nightly and is 99.99% inserts. We did notice during testing that any heavy modification of this table was taking a considerable amount of time when the Indexed View was there. This was due to the fact that SQL Server had to maintain it for each and every row modified on the base table (sum of qty sold of every ISBN ever sold over 18 years). Our nightly load process performs well within our SLA even with the Indexed View so the applications that require this data do not need to be looked at for modification as we can satisfy their requirements not by redesigning, but through the view.
If you have a similar situation where you need to provide calculated information over a large dataset, Indexed Views might provide you with the performance boost you are looking for.

Don't Let Suffolk Steer
Clear of Progress
Dear Editor:
In April, NYS passed legislation allowing ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft to operate statewide beginning June 29th, however, the new law allows for counties and cities with populations of at least 100,000 to opt out. As a result, two County Legislators have sponsored a bill to prohibit legal ride-sharing in Suffolk, leaving hopeful residents and businesses in a dust cloud of confusion and dissatisfaction.
The local economic benefits of ride-sharing appear profound.
According to the Suffolk County Executive's Office, legal ride-sharing "will help produce $121 million in additional spending by passengers in our local economy, $57 million in earnings in wages and tips, and $34 million in estimated value of time saved".
Ride-sharing also makes our roads safer.
A Temple University study showed that cities with Uber had vehicular homicide rates drop between 3.6 and 5.6% once they adopted the ride-sharing service – likely due to a decrease in drunk driving.
This evidence reflects common sense: If you know you can use a reliable ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft to get home safely at an affordable price, you're less likely to make a dangerous choice that could ultimately cost someone their life.
County Legislators should listen to the 85 percent of Long Islanders who support ride-sharing, and stop attempting to thwart its progress. The benefits are abundant, the competition is healthy and the time is now.

How to Gluten-Free Grocery Shop
Gluten-free grocery shopping may sound like a challenge, but it's getting easier every day. The key to shopping for gluten-free goods is: knowing where to go and what to look for once you get there.
Compose a list of safe and forbidden ingredients (try the Safe Gluten-Free Foods List/Unsafe Foods and Ingredients at celiac.com) and bring it with you to the store.
1Knowing what gluten-free goods want before you go to the grocery
Planning ahead and making lists makes shopping so much easier when you're enjoying a gluten-free lifestyle. Lists keep you from impulse buying and remind you of the ingredients needed for your planned meals. They also save you time because the items you want are definitely gluten-free — you don't have to worry about checking out the ingredients of random goods you stumble across when shopping without direction.
2Deciding what to buy at the market
Keep in mind the two kinds of gluten-free foods: those that companies make as specialty items and those that are naturally gluten-free. You obviously want to buy foods that you enjoy, but make sure you know what specialty products are good before you buy them — you don't want to waste money on something horrible! (You can ask around for opinions.)
3Deciding where to gluten-free shop
You can do most of your shopping at regular grocery stores. Natural food stores, farmer's markets and ethnic markets are also great places to shop — especially since natural food stores are becoming more aware of the interest in gluten-free foods.
The Internet is another useful source because you can find sites that sell several different brands of gluten-free foods, saving you money on shipping from 12 different sites. A good site to start with is www.glutenfreemall.com.
4Knowing where to look when you're in the store
One of the better ways to avoid some of those glaring gluten temptations at the store is to shop the perimeter. If your store has a good health food aisle, you may be able to find gluten-free pastas, mixes, cereals, bars, and other items. Your best bet in general, though, is to stick to fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy items — most of which are around the outsides.

Intermountain Hospital provides help for those struggling with drug and alcohol abuse. Other addiction treatment options include Counseling that help those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction to get the effective treatment that they need.
For those that are seeking affordable drug rehab in Boise, Idaho, then entering addiction treatment at Intermountain Hospital is the right choice. Intermountain Hospital generally accepts struggling addicts of most age groups, i.e. 18+ to enroll in their available addiction rehabilitation programs.
Intermountain Hospital also takes commonly accepted insurances, i.e. Most Insurances, and certain types of payment such as: American Express, Cash or self-payment, Check, Mastercard, Visa. Intermountain Hospital can be contacted through their website at www.intermountainhospital.com.
I thought it helped a lot grate people in the Boise Idaho one. I'm still in parts of their program because I love it so much. They really are great people. But remember if you're going in there not wanting help, it's not going to work. But if you go in there actually seeking help and wanting help you will be fine. You well get throw that hard time. And also remember a lot of people in there did have good experiences. But nobody's going to write good experiences on the reviews they don't think of it. I remember before I went in there, I looked at the reviews and I was so terrified because how many bad reviews. So if you read this don't worry it's going to be okay it's actually pretty good it takes a bit to get used to in the first day is the hardest but it gets better
It's not that bad here. I started to like them towards the ending. Yes majority of them made fun of me. But it's all good.
i was at intermountain for a total of 3.5 weeks over the summer of 2017. i absolutely loved it. it was way better than my home. if i had i choice i would go back again. the staff is amazing. it's so fun to meet new people and it gets your mind off of real life and helps you grow. i loved intermountain -grace arrington
In April My 17 year old son spent 21 days in Intermountain Hospital. The 5 stars I just gave for this review come from the bottom of my grateful heart. My son needed immediate help for drug abuse and mental instability. From the moment we arrived we we're treated with dignity and respect. The staff were calm and professional. It is never easy to leave your child in the care of strangers , especially when they are begging you not to. I had to make the decision to trust them and walk away. The first few days weren't easy but at least I knew he was safe and alive. I recieved several phone calls the first day letting me know how he was doing . The phone calls continued his entire stay . I felt like I was a part of every decision they were making in regards to my son . I was at every visit . The first visit was rough . Teenagers , on their best days are not easy. When you have one that is on drugs, coming off drugs, delutional, angry, suicidal ( whatever your personal crisis may be) It's a whole new ball game. Of course there are occasional outbursts in the visiting room. They know this is their chance to manipulate beg , threaten . That is what teenagers do. They say whatever they need to say to get their way. Every day got progressively better. He settled into a stuctured routine . I questioned him every day on how his day went . Just a little thing like hearing that he played football or had seconds on BBQ ribs brought my heart peace . It's funny how these ordinary everyday things can make you feel good . He also told me about the skin checks. If you are the mother/ father of a child who is suicidal or self harms by cutting I'm sure you are grateful for this. Two weeks in at a visit , my son told me " mom , I don't really mind being here. Its kind-of a relief to be away from everything". I don't know exactly what "everything" is but I felt relieved too . Right now , it is 6:00 am and my son is asleep in his bed. That is also a relief. Thank You to : The intake staff, the boys adolescent staff, the case managers, the front desk staff and the Drs. At Intermountain Hospital. I hope I will never need your services again but if I did I would not hesitate.
It's not that bad here. I started to like them towards the ending. Yes majority of them made fun of me. But it's all good. God's blessing me in front of their faces. Never give up on yourself.
I personally thought this facility was awesome, as long as you are willing everything is possible, I had a great experience the staff was mostly friendly and those who may not have been were simply doing their job. I felt safe and comfortable. It is run to keep you busy and on a schedule for reasons.
When I was there in june 2016 I had an amazing experience and it helped me a lot of I needed to go back I totally would
They were great! They kept me safe. I didn't have to participate in any activity I did not wish to participate in. All the staff really cared, even the psychiatrists!
From my experience this place is actually there to help...Jeff,Lee, and Ashley did a great job with helping out the patients...Ashley's a cutie by the way even though she has a boyfriend...lol
I was hospitalized in the journeys program in September of 2016. I'm reading the other reviews and a lot of people were saying it is bad and Its not. One of the things I liked about it was it was kind of an escape of reality for a bit, but leaving kinda sucked because you had to go back to reality. I honestly didn't want to be hospitalized at first because it just seemed unnecessary to me, but in the long run it really did help. The staff there are really helpful and caring in my experience. if you treat them with respect, they will respect you with respect as well. since I went during the school year, we had two hours of school each day. We also did exercise groups, as well as theraputic groups. One of my only problems was that i was not fully helped, but that is my fault. My mom told me to lie to get out of there because "she didn't like the way they treated her." I guess it's all about her? On the more positive side, I did come away with more coping skills and I am better off then in would have been with our the treatment.

A fresh report in Japan shows the number of deaths resulting from the country's Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in 2011 increased by 18 percent last year.
The report published on Tuesday by the Japanese newspaper Tokyo Shimbun said figures from authorities in Fukushima Prefecture showed a total of 1,232 deaths in 2014 were linked to the nuclear disaster.
The highest number of fatalities occurred in the town of Namie near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, with 359 deaths, followed by 291 cases in Tomioka town also near the plant.
Nuclear radiation exposure can cause serious health problems. The first signs of nuclear radiation exposure are nausea and vomiting.
Exposure increases the probability of developing some other diseases, mainly cancer, tumors, and genetic disorders.
The Fukushima disaster took place on March 11, 2011 when the area was hit by a magnitude-9 earthquake that triggered a devastating tsunami, leaving more than 18,000 people dead or missing.
The nuclear plant, located on Japan's northeast coast, suffered multiple meltdowns following the disaster. The destroyed reactors have leaked radiation into air, soil and the Pacific Ocean ever since.
The incident, which is regarded as the world's worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986, also led to the evacuation of 160,000 people.
Four years on, some 120,000 people have not been able to return to their homes due to radioactive contamination.
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has promised that his government will take prompt steps to clean up the wrecked power station. The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has said the clean-up will take decades and will cost more than 150 billion dollars.
This is while a report released by a Japanese parliamentary panel following the natural catastrophe said the incident at the Fukushima nuclear plant was not only due to the tsunami, but also a "man-made disaster."
The report criticized the "government, regulatory authorities and Tokyo Electric Power Company" for being devoid of "a sense of responsibility to protect people's lives and society."

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer on Tumblr: We Bought Growth
How does Yahoo Inc. Chief Executive Marissa Mayer justify her company's $1.1 billion purchase of blogging site Tumblr?
One word: growth.
Ms. Mayer has repeatedly said that growing Yahoo's "impressions," or the number of Web page views and other interactions on Yahoo's sites, would be the only way to boost revenue. That's the same mantra espoused by most Web company CEOs, including Ms. Mayer's former top boss at Google, Larry Page.
"Growth in the consumer tech industry always starts with traffic," Ms. Mayer said in an interview Monday after Yahoo's deal to acquire Tumblr was announced. She added that buying Tumblr instantly boosts Yahoo's user base by 50% to 1 billion, and Web traffic by 20%, "which is really heartening."
There are other benefits. Much of the content that people post on Tumblr – from fashion and art to food and travel – doesn't overlap with what's on Yahoo, which is strong in categories like sports, finance and news. Ms. Mayer said the companies will find ways to surface Tumblr's unique content on Yahoo's sites.
There also isn't much of an overlap between Yahoo's "older" base of visitors and those of Tumblr, who are the "youngest users of any site of this scale," she said.
As to how Yahoo arrived at the $1.1 billion valuation of a site that generated $13 million in advertising last year, Yahoo Chief Financial Officer Ken Goldman said during the interview Monday that the Tumblr buy was "about top line growth," or revenue.
In placing a value on Tumblr, Yahoo used "traditional financial metrics like…cash flows" and at similar transactions in the past – namely Facebook's 2011 acquisition of Instagram for around $1 billion and Google's 2006 acquisition of YouTube for $1.65 billion. In both cases, the acquirers bought companies with little to no revenue.
Yahoo also looked at "comparable companies in terms of metrics related to monthly users," he said. Tumblr get more than 117 million unique visitors per month worldwide, according to comScore, , though Ms. Mayer said the site has 300 million active monthly users. Seen that way, Yahoo is paying around $3 per user, while Facebook paid around $30 per Instagram user.
Yahoo will pick up around 90 software engineers from Tumblr. Web companies often pay $1 million per engineer during a transaction.
Ms. Mayer stressed that Yahoo will "let Tumblr be Tumblr" and avoid alienating its users. When asked about the content on Tumblr that is adult in nature, she said "we were surprised at how little adult content there was." She added advertisers shouldn't be concerned about their ads ending up next to such content because the site has "targeting tools" to avoid that.
Tumblr CEO David Karp, who will continue to run the site somewhat independently from Yahoo, said "in general, as a user you won't bump into that [adult content] unless you look for it."
He said Tumblr and Yahoo began talking late last year, when "we were not thinking of selling the company" but rather looked at Yahoo as a potential partner in growing the site's nascent advertising initiatives.
He added that 80% of the activity on Tumblr is on Web pages that can have advertising, though the company has been careful to allow only ads that are "native," or fit with the aesthetic and format of the site.
That means Yahoo won't just slap on graphical or video ads willy-nilly, Mr. Karp and Ms. Mayer said. But Yahoo will unleash its 2,500-strong salesforce to help sell ads on Tumblr, Ms. Mayer said. (Tumblr has only 25 sales people.) Ms. Mayer said there also are opportunities for Yahoo to introduce ads when people use Tumblr's search function to look for certain content on the site.
"We talked to lots of brands trying to work with Tumblr, and they're so eager to being in front of these users," Ms. Mayer said.

As an individual who grew up in a highly athletic environment, grit and/or mental toughness were almost natural byproducts. You played and worked hard, you didn't quit and you earned what you deserved.
I can't ever recall just showing up and automatically winning a prize! But I also recognize that the attributes of grit and mental toughness were taught to me, in most instances, positively. There were many adults in my life that instilled those qualities and I'm grateful.
I would like to say that I've been forever grateful, but the truth is that it is just been in my later years that I've come to understand the importance of grit/mental toughness. My revelation certainly comes from my own learning but sadly I have become more aware from the increase in mental health issues that populate our schools. Grit is not well established in the millennial generation or many of the students entering our schools today. Simon Sinek speaks to this issue in his interview On Millennials in the Work Place. While everyone would benefit from listening to this 15 minute clip, I would suggest that it is a must for every parent, educator and corporate/industry leader.
It is not easy being a parent in today's society and I certainly wasn't a perfect parent. I'm hoping that from what I've learned I'll be a far better grandparent. But I know there are some helpful hints to teaching grit and developing stronger and more resilient children. Here are some for you to ponder:
- Don't jump in and save your child when it is not life threatening. Snowplow parents (clearing away all of the issues) or helicopter parents (hovering around all the time) do nothing to develop grit.
- Provide children with age appropriate responsibility and expectations. Chores are not mean, child slave labor is! Homework or class projects are their responsibility not yours! High expectations with support should be the norm.
- Every child is unique and will learn at different rates. Don't put undo stress on your children when they don't meet arbitrary milestones.
- Children need to learn to deal with stress. Protect them from toxic stress and assist them to work through tolerable stress. Know the difference and respond appropriately.
- Remember learning is about making mistakes, readjusting and then retrying. Mistakes are part of the learning process.
- Reward and reinforce hard work and effort. Focus on improvement not just the end result. Role model a growth mindset to your children.
- Become a learner yourself. There are some great resources out there on brain development which will assist in developing strong and resilient children. Check out the resources available through the Alberta Family Wellness Initiative.
- Watch your language! "Just suck it up" or "Be a man" are not necessarily your best strategies for developing resilient kids. As an aside, please watch this short trailer from The Mask You Live In.
- Spend quality time with your child. They need help in developing human relationships without electronics. Relationships are more than just "likes" on social media.
- Let your kids live their own life, your childhood dreams are over. Don't live your dreams through them…please!
My list contains 10 but there are many more. The challenge however is to share them and to help each other in growing communities full of strong and resilient children.

As debates continue over the legalization of marijuana, many individuals who have never touched plant-derived cannabinoids (phytocannabinoids) do not realize that their bodies naturally produce endocannabinoids, which play an essential mediating role in various human physiologic systems. Recent studies have shown that the production of endocannabinoids is boosted by fatty acids, and Algae Dynamics (OTCQB: ADYNF) has begun developing fortified formulas of omega-3s and cannabis oil that could potentially boost the function of the human body's endocannabinoid system.
"The products under development by Algae Dynamics promise to pack a powerful therapeutic punch, combining the virtues of omega-3s and cannabinoids. Algae Dynamics' algae omega-3 oil has a high concentration of DHA, which is in demand by the growing multi-billion dollar food and beverage and health care sectors. The North American omega-3 market was estimated to be $4.0 billion in 2013 and is expected to reach $5.9 billion by 2019, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2014 to 2019. Supplements are the largest application segment driving North America's omega-3 market, and the cannabinoid market is just as vibrant. It is expected to cross $2 billion in consumer sales by 2020. It seems no matter which market Algae Dynamics chooses for its products, success is almost guaranteed."

About Algae Dynamics
Algae Dynamics is engaged in the development of unique health products and pharmaceuticals that utilize hemp, cannabis and algae oils. To assist in this development, Algae Dynamics engaged two Canadian universities to provide research, focusing on the use of cannabis oil in the context of cancer and the use of cannabis derivatives for the development of novel pharmacotherapies for mental health. Algae Dynamics intends to utilize this research to develop products that combine the significant health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids derived from algae oil with extracts from cannabis oil for the rapidly growing medical and non-medical markets in Canada and globally. The company has developed strategic relationships with licensed producers of cannabis to ensure a source of cannabis oil. Algae Dynamics' product development efforts are designed in the near-term for over-the-counter nutraceuticals, and in the longer-term for patented medicines. The company's recent initiatives are an extension of its previous plan, which was focused solely on commercialization of its proprietary BioSilo® algae cultivation system for the high volume, low cost production of pure contaminant-free algae biomass which is high in Omega-3 fatty acids.

USS Olympia staying put in Philadelphia
The USS Olympia, which some had hoped to bring to Beaufort County, will be staying put in Pennsylvania.
The Olympia's current home, the Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia, announced Wednesday that it had discontinued efforts to relocate the ship. Instead the museum will launch a fundraising campaign to keep the historic ship in place.
Out of six organizations that applied in 2011, the S.C. Olympia Committee, based in Port Royal, and the Mare Island Historic Park Foundation of California, were the final two groups being considered to get the Olympia.
Both organizations failed to offer a "viable long-term solution" for the ship, according to a news release from the museum.
The Port Royal and California groups sought to repair and preserve the ship and to turn it into an educational resource.
The Olympia's hull has deteriorated after decades in the water, and the ship is in need of $10 million in repairs, according to the S.C. Olympia Committee.
About USS Olympia
Launched in San Francisco in 1892, the Olympia is the oldest steel warship afloat in the world.
Built in California using steel and arms from Pennsylvania, Olympia showcased some of the best technology available in the late 19th century.
Her electrical system, which Thomas Edison consulted on, is one of the first on a Navy ship.
Built during the transition from sail to steam, Olympia is the last warship fitted with sails, though her advanced engines placed her among the fastest ships of her day.
Olympia became famous as the American flagship at the 1898 Battle of Manila Bay, which marked the beginning the Spanish-American War. She served through World War I and brought home the body of the Unknown Soldier from France in 1921.
Decommissioned in 1922, Olympia was mothballed at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
In the 1950s, Olympia was moved to Penn's Landing and opened as a museum. The organization that ran the ship as a museum was unable to maintain her and she fell into disrepair. In 1996, the Seaport Museum took over stewardship, keeping Olympia open to the public for the past 18 years.

A Japanese technique similar to Acupressure, using finger and thumb pressure on precise body points to encourage the proper flow of Chi, the vital force or energy, to circulate through the body. A Japanese bodywork technique, Shiatsu uses pressure to stimulate points on acupuncture meridians. Practice of shiatsu is usually accompanied by study of Chinese five-element theory and meridians, and it involves a way of looking at the body that is completely different from the "muscles, bones and blood" view of Western science, focusing instead on the flow of life energy through meridians. The practitioner uses thumbs, palms and fingers to apply pressure to specific points. The touch is generally more forceful than massage. Rather than use a massage table, shiatsu practitioners may have the patient rest on a pad on the floor. This allows practitioners to use their own body to brace the patient during certain stretches.
Ohashiatsu a variation of Shiatsu developed by an American born Japanese practitioner named Ohashi. Ohashiatsu is a system of physical techniques, exercise, and meditation used to relieve tension and fatigue and induce a state of harmony and peace. The practitioner first assesses a person's state by feeling the hara (the area below the navel). Then, using continuous and flowing movements, the practitioner presses and stretches the body's energy channels, working in unison with the person's breathing.
Results are very positive. Animals are extremely responsive to this type of bodywork and results are very positive. Sessions may last for an hour or in some cases an hour and ½. They understand the language of touch and are usually willing shiatsu recipients. Working with your animals for their better health can create a closer partnership between you. Shiatsu has the same contraindications of massage and most bodywork modalities including relieving muscle soreness and spasms, keeps joints well-lubricated and muscles strong and supple, enhances mental clarity, focus and performance, relieves some behavior problems associated with fear and anxiety, removing toxins and increases blood supply and energy flow, speeds recovery from illness and surgery, helps recovery from medication, boosts the immune system, helps relieve arthritis and other chronic conditions, reduces pain by releasing endorphins and swelling by releasing natural cortisone, aids in digestive, respiratory and skin disorders, gives an overall sense of well being, useful in first aid and trauma to reduce shock, bleeding and pain, helps enhance good behavior patterns.
Some Shiatsu programs may be substituted for massage therapist programs and qualify practitioners for licensing or registration as massage therapists for humans.

Are you looking for a Psychic Near Me in South Lyme Connecticut 06376.
Psychic Near Me South Lyme Connecticut 06376
What is a psychic reading? Rather, who or what are psychics? A psychic can be specified as – from Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary – a person who is specially conscious psychic influences or forces of a non-physical, obviously super-natural nature or medium. Real psychics are understood to be very conscious energy in its numerous kinds, such as light, heat, noise, smells and even physical touch.Psychic reading online for free is used just by specific psychic readers. The benefit of having these readings done online is that you can sit in the convenience of your home itself and see the responses to your concerns by means of your laptop or computer system. That brings us to the next concern. What questions does one normally ask a psychic reader? People who need a psychic reading generally get one since they are not sure about something in their lives or not sure about a decision. So, if you need to meet a psychic reader, form your questions clearly before you do since a psychic reading responses concerns only particular to your question and do not deviate. If you need the best answer, you have to form questions properly. Provided listed below are a couple of concerns that you can customize to match your needs.First, you can begin with concerns associated with your home. For example:' How am I as a relative? Exactly what are my weak and finest points?' or perhaps 'exactly what are the very best steps I can take to ensure that my house stays safe and happy?' The psychic reading to these questions would expose other concerns and you can continue with the circulation that comes to mind. If you are stressed over profession aspects, you can ask questions like: 'How am I as a team-mate or player? Exactly what are my weak points? Exactly what are my strengths?' or 'Exactly what would you encourage me to help me deal with the existing problems that I'm facing in my profession?' Psychic reading depends specifically on the questions that are asked since the psychic can not see you personally and hence he/she has to depend on the questions asked by you. If you require specific answers, the questions need to be appropriately formed. Concerns about individual life can be asked too. Such as,' Are there any concerns or issues which should be attended to instantly?' or 'What are the best actions I can take to avoid a fallout in the future? What can I do to reinforce the bonds of my relationships? '

Pirouette Class 1 - Finis Jhung
DESCRIPTION What's the first thing a dancer does, after finishing barre? A pirouette, of course. Everyone wants to turn, because it looks like so much fun and obviously demonstrates skill. Now you can begin to turn, without fear, by studying how Michele Wiles, today a Principal Dancer of The American Ballet Theatre, prepares for her pirouettes. It's not that you can't turn, it's just that you're not doing "the right thing." So, learn to do what Michele does, in real time, slow motion, and freeze frame, and those pirouettes will never get away from you again! You'll be able to fix problems immediately. We've also added breakdowns that clear up the difference between the waltz step and the balancé. And, you'll be amazed when you see how Michele flies through the air with pas de bourrée sauté. It boggles the mind. CUSTOMER COMMENTS "Until I saw this video, I hadn't realized how the pirouette is such a gateway for understanding movement. The most powerful lesson that improved my turns right away was the demonstration of the 'turning of the plié.' This video transforms the believable mechanics of the pirouette into the power of dance." - Pat Browne, P.Eng, Ottawa Canada "I love your video! I like the way you explain in detail the 'hows and whys' of center combinations with pirouettes. The advice dispensed is invaluable. Im really thrilled. A big THANK YOU!" - Judith Tham, Adult Student, Singapore "Your instructional technique has been a great benefit to me as a person who took up ballet in mid-life. My work environment is very stressful. Dance has been an enjoyable release for me, and your instruction has enriched my dance experience." - John Daly, airline pilot, Kirkland, WA "I love your video and your approach to teaching - it makes sense. It is what I have believed all along. My ballet haters are getting interested, and my bun heads are in heaven." - Deborah Stanton-Bianca, New England Dance Academy, Attleboro, MA "The precise filming of every part of the body and slow motion footage going into a turn is absolutely spectacular! " - Margilyn Valle, Ballet Midwest, St. Louis, MO "This video is full of valuable information! Using it has has given me knowledge and a better technique, and has made significant changes in the way I now dance. Thank you, Finis!" - Rachida Dukes, Adult Student, Alexandra, VA "Buying videos on the internet is like a blind date - you don't really know what you are going to get, and have to trust what you've been told. Well, I am so happy to say that what I got was wonderful! 'Pirouette Class 1' is a new and fresh way to look at turns. I like the way you explain the pirouette, and so do my students." - Mrs. Willy Knopper- van Duuren, balletschool "De Dansacker" Pijnacker, The Netherlands Purchase the Pirouette Class 1 DVD at http://finisjhung.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=75.


text: Help! I dug out a quilt (king size) that I started two years ago. I don't have enough fabric to finish the top. Either I used some of it, didn't buy enough in the first place, or lost it among the rest of my stash. I have enough for about 58 inches, but not the 95 inches I need. What can I do? it is a bargello type sew as you go.

Process | Kitchens | Bathrooms | Basements | Master Bedrooms
Sweet dreams
The master bedroom is refuge within your refuge, an oasis from kids' toys, teenagers' heaps of laundry, and piles of junk mail. It's a peaceful place where you can bathe and dress uninterrupted at day's start. It's where you can get away for a book or a nap on lazy weekends. And it's where you'll want to relax, unwind, and sleep peacefully at day's end.
More than one way to create it
If you're thinking about creating master bedroom for your home, remember that you don't necessarily need to build out. It may be possible to build up over a garage or porch, to fold in space from a neighboring room, or to simply convert unfinished space. When you work with Frey, we will help you brainstorm what's feasible and best suited to your needs and home.
Free consultation
The process begins with a free, no-obligation consultation at your home to see your existing space and explore ideas. During this meeting, we can help you understand the pros and the cons of different design choices. We'll help you shape your dream space while explaining how your choices can affect important things like energy costs, construction costs, return on investment, and accessibility. (For example, using existing space can often mean lower costs, if you can tap into existing water lines for the bathroom in the master bedroom.)
Taking the leap
Generally speaking, master bedrooms are not the place to sink money if you're trying to flip a home for a profit. But if you plan to stay in your home for even just a few years, it's an absolutely worthwhile investment. Peace, serenity, sanity, and a good night's sleep are priceless. Treat yourself to that luxury master-bedroom oasis you've always wanted!
Backed by an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, over 20 years of service, and a 15-year workmanship warranty, we will help you imagine and create the master bedroom of your dreams—or bring your own inspired vision to life. Request your no-obligation consultation today!
Did you know?
- First-floor master bedrooms are becoming increasing popular as people think about "aging in place" and concerns about being able to navigate stairs later in life.
- According to the 2014 version of the Cost vs. Value report issued annually by Remodeler magazine, the average cost of a master bedroom addition has dropped by about $2,500 since 2011-2012.
- According to the same report, the average cost-value ratio for master bedroom additions has improved by about eight percent during the same time frame.

Yes, that is me in Karl's unmentionables. Yes he is tasty, well his beers are! Within the past two (2) years or so, we have seen Karl Strauss go from borderline big boys in the industry to really focusing on their beer again. From their core offerings to a great variety of seasonal, anniversary, and specialty brews.
We were lucky enough to get invited out to their brand new tasting room down in San Diego before the grand opening by our friend and rep, Nina last week!
That's Nina and Nikki in front of some Bourbon barrel aged Wreck Alley Imperial Stout. Nina sneaked some tasters of this guy and wowee, it was super tasty! We are looking forward to getting our grubby little hands on a barrel of this juice and bringing it into The Iron Press soon.
A happy surprise came about an hour and a half into the evening when Paul Segura, the head brewer for Karl Strauss, tapped a cask of the Tower 20 Imperial IPA! Creamy, bitey, yummy. I had like five (5) glasses in the first hour, tee hee.
To keep not just our beer buds happy, we were stuffed plenty full with Phil's BBQ and our ears happy with some great music.
Even at night, the beer keeps brewing! They had a brewer on hand checking on the batches there, but the kegging and bottling system was shut down for the night.
Anyhoo, it's Saturday and you guys shouldn't be spending all your time reading this stuff, but before your pretty eyes leave us for the day, here is some information for the tasting room:
Who: All y'all who enjoy great beer and can make the little jaunt down to San Diego. All ages welcome, but alas, beer for those 21+
What : Karl Strauss' New Tasting Room Grand Opening
When : July 27th, 2013 AD
Where : 5895 Santa Fe Street, San Diego, CA 92109
Why : Really?

An Industry Fit for You
For over 34 years, our approach to alternative career coaching has focused almost exclusively on the franchise sector, and for good reasons—these systems have a proven track record, a network of support, and a clearly defined business model. It's not about the sale, but empowering our clients to open their minds, evaluate what they want, and then identify the opportunity that will achieve those goals. Most importantly, we provide the discovery of a career they can be passionate about.
It began in the mid 1980's when our Visionary and Founder , Terry Powell, recognized the fact that 75 percent of the population has a strong desire to be self-sufficient, but only a small number actually find a way to make it happen—a mere 5 percent. Far too many people give up on their dreams too soon, when education and guidance could show them the way to success.
Terry Powell and The Entrepreneur's Source also recognized how many franchisors were in need of qualified franchisee prospects. Given this fact, we began to make the connection.
With nearly three quarters of the population feeling trapped on their current career path and so many franchisors offering the opportunity for business ownership and financial freedom, it only made sense to bridge the two groups.
To this day, no other coaching group looks at the situation from both sides.
