Born | Amantine Lucile Dupin 1 July 1804 Paris, France |
Died | 8 June 1876 Nohant-Vic, France |
(aged 71)
Spouse(s) | Casimir Dudevant |
Children | Maurice Sand Solange Sand |
Parents | Maurice Dupin Sophie-Victorie Delaborde |
Amantine (also "Amandine") Lucile Aurore Dupin (French: [amɑ̃tin lysil oʁɔʁ dypɛ̃]), (1 July 1804 – 8 June 1876), best known by her pseudonym George Sand (French: [ʒɔʁʒ sɑ̃d]), was a French novelist and memoirist. She is also equally well-known for her much publicized romantic affairs with a number of celebrities including Frédéric Chopin and Alfred de Musset.
Sand wrote: 'My name is not Marie-Aurore de Saxe, Marquise of Dudevant, as several of my biographers have asserted, but Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin, and my husband, M Francois Dudevant, claims no title: the highest rank he ever reached was that of infantry second lieutenant.'[1]
Always known simply as "Aurore"[2] she was born in Paris but raised for much of her childhood by her grandmother, Marie Aurore de Saxe, Madame Dupin de Francueil, at her grandmother's estate, Nohant, in the French province of Berry (see House of George Sand). Sand later used the setting in many of her novels. It has been said[by whom?] that her upbringing was quite liberal. Her father, Maurice Dupin, was the grandson of the Marshal General of France, Maurice, Comte de Saxe, himself an illegitimate son of Augustus II the Strong, King of Poland and a Saxon elector, and a cousin to the sixth degree to the kings of France Louis XVI, Louis XVIII and Charles X.[3] Sand's mother, Sophie-Victoire Delaborde, was a commoner.
In 1822, at the age of eighteen, Sand married Casimir Dudevant (1795–1871), illegitimate son of Baron Jean-François Dudevant. She and Dudevant had two children: Maurice (1823–89) and Solange (1828–99). In early 1831, she left her husband and entered upon a four- or five-year period of "romantic rebellion." In 1835, she was legally separated from Dudevant and took her children with her.
Sand conducted affairs of varying duration with Jules Sandeau (1831), Prosper Mérimée, Alfred de Musset (summer 1833 – March 1835), Louis-Chrysostome Michel, Pierre-François Bocage, Félicien Mallefille, Louis Blanc, and Frédéric Chopin (1837–47).[4] Later in life, she corresponded with Gustave Flaubert. Despite their obvious differences in temperament and aesthetic preference, they eventually became close friends. She engaged in an intimate friendship with actress Marie Dorval, which led to widespread but unconfirmed rumors of a lesbian affair.[5] Letters written by Sand to Dorval mentioned things like "wanting you either in your dressing room or in your bed."
In Majorca one can still visit the (then abandoned) Carthusian monastery of Valldemossa, where she spent the winter of 1838–39 with Chopin and her children.[6] This trip to Majorca was described by her in Un hiver à Majorque (A Winter in Majorca), first published in 1841.[7] Chopin was already ill with incipient tuberculosis (or, as has recently been suggested, cystic fibrosis) at the beginning of their relationship, and spending a winter in Majorca — where Sand and Chopin did not realize that winter was a time of rain and cold, and where they could not get proper lodgings — exacerbated his symptoms. They separated two years before his death for a variety of reasons.
In Lucrezia Floriani, a novel, Sand used Chopin as a model for a sickly Eastern European prince named Karol. He's cared for by a middle-aged actress past her prime, Lucrezia, who suffers a great deal by caring for Karol.[8] Though Sand claimed not to have made a cartoon out of Chopin, the book's publication and widespread readership may have exacerbated their antipathy to each other. However, the tipping point in their relationship involved her daughter Solange.
Chopin continued to be cordial to Solange after she and her husband, Auguste Clesinger, had a vicious falling out with Sand over money. Sand took Chopin's support of Solange as outright treachery and confirmation that Chopin had always "loved" Solange.[a] Sand's son Maurice also disliked Chopin. Maurice wanted to establish himself as the 'man of the estate' and did not wish to have Chopin as a rival for that role. Chopin was never asked back to Nohant. In 1848, he returned to Paris from a tour of the UK, to die at the Place Vendôme in the following year. Chopin was penniless at that point; his friends had to pay for his stay there, as well as his funeral at the Madeleine. The funeral was attended by over 3,000 people, including Delacroix, Liszt, Victor Hugo and other famous people. George Sand, however, was notable by her absence.
She is also known for her implication and writings during "la commune" where she took position for the Versaille's assembly against the "communard", urging them to take violent action against the "rebels".[10]
A liaison with the writer Jules Sandeau heralded her literary debut. They published a few stories in collaboration, signing them "Jules Sand." Her first published novel, Rose et Blanche (1831), was written in collaboration with Sandeau. She subsequently adopted, for her first independent novel, Indiana (1832), the pen name that made her famous – George Sand.[11]
Drawing from her childhood experiences of the countryside, she wrote the rural novels La Mare au Diable (1846), François le Champi (1847–1848), La Petite Fadette (1849), and Les Beaux Messieurs Bois-Doré (1857). A Winter in Majorca described the period that she and Chopin spent on that island in 1838–9. Her other novels include Indiana (1832), Lélia (1833), Mauprat (1837), Le Compagnon du Tour de France (1840), Consuelo (1842–43), and Le Meunier d'Angibault (1845). Further theatre pieces and autobiographical pieces include Histoire de ma vie (1855), Elle et Lui (1859, about her affair with Musset), Journal Intime (posthumously published in 1926), and Correspondence. Sand often performed her theatrical works in her small private theatre at the Nohant estate.
In addition, Sand authored literary criticism and political texts. She wrote many essays and published works establishing her socialist position. Because of her early life, she sided with the poor and working class. When the 1848 Revolution began, Sand started her own newspaper which was published in a workers' co-operative.[12] This allowed her to publish more political essays. She wrote "I cannot believe in any republic that starts a revolution by killing its own proletariat."
Her most widely used quote is "There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved."
She was known well in far reaches of the world, and her social practices, her writings and her beliefs prompted much commentary, often by other luminaries in the world of arts and letters. A few excerpts demonstrate much of what was often said about George Sand:
- She was a thinking bosom and one who overpowered her young lovers, all Sybil — a Romantic. V.S. Pritchett (writer)
- What a brave man she was, and what a good woman. Ivan Turgenev (novelist)
- The most womanly woman. Alfred de Musset (poet)
George Sand died at Nohant, near Châteauroux, in France's Indre département on 8 June 1876, at the age of 71 and was buried in the grounds of her home there. In 2004, controversial plans were suggested to move her remains to the Panthéon in Paris.
Contemporary views[edit]
Sand's reputation came into question when she began sporting men's clothing in public — which she justified by the clothes being far sturdier and less expensive than the typical dress of a noblewoman at the time. In addition to being comfortable, Sand's male dress enabled her to circulate more freely in Paris than most of her female contemporaries, and gave her increased access to venues from which women were often barred — even women of her social standing. Also scandalous was Sand's smoking tobacco in public; neither peerage nor gentry had yet sanctioned the free indulgence of women in such a habit, especially in public (though Franz Liszt's paramour Marie d'Agoult affected this as well, smoking large cigars).
These and other behaviors were exceptional for a woman of the early and mid-19th century, when social codes—especially in the upper classes—were of the utmost importance. As a consequence of many unorthodox aspects of her lifestyle, Sand was obliged to relinquish some of the privileges appertaining to a baroness, though the mores of the period did permit upper-class wives to live physically separate from their husbands, without losing face, provided the estranged couple exhibited no blatant irregularity to the outside world.
Poet Charles Baudelaire was a contemporary critic of George Sand: "She is stupid, heavy and garrulous. Her ideas on morals have the same depth of judgment and delicacy of feeling as those of janitresses and kept women... The fact that there are men who could become enamoured of this slut is indeed a proof of the abasement of the men of this generation."[13] Other writers of the period, however, differed in their assessment. Flaubert, by no means an indulgent or forbearing critic, was an unabashed admirer. Honoré de Balzac, who knew Sand personally, once said that if someone thought George Sand wrote badly, it was because their own standards of criticism were inadequate. He also noted that her treatment of imagery in her works showed that her writing had an exceptional subtlety, having the ability to 'virtually put the image in the word'.[14]
In literature[edit]
Frequent literary references to George Sand can be found in Possession (1990) by A. S. Byatt. The American poet Walt Whitman cited Sand's novel Consuelo as a personal favorite and the sequel to this novel La Comtesse De Rudolstady contains at least a couple of passages that appear to have had a very direct influence on him. Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–61), the English poet, produced two poems "To George Sand: A Desire" and "To George Sand: A Recognition". The character of Stepan Verkhovensky in Dostoevsky's novel The Possessed took to translating the works of George Sand in his periodical, before the periodical was subsequently seized by the ever-cautious Russian government of the 1840s. (Dostoevsky himself "read widely in the numerous novels of George Sand" and translated her La dernière Aldini in 1844 but "discovered to his dismay that the work had already appeared in Russian."[15]) Sand is also referred to in Virginia Woolf's book-length essay A Room of One's Own along with George Eliot and Currer Bell as "all victims of inner strife as their writings prove, sought ineffectively to veil themselves by using the name of a man." [16]
George Sand is referenced a number of times in the play Voyage, the first part of Tom Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia trilogy. And in the first episode of the "Overture" to Swann's Way—the first novel in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time sequence—a young, distraught Marcel is calmed by his mother as she reads from François le Champi, a novel which (it is explained) was part of a gift from his grandmother, which also included La Mare au Diable, La Petite Fadette, and Les Maîtres Sonneurs. As with many episodes involving art in À la recherche du temps perdu, this reminiscence includes commentary on the work. George Sand also makes an appearance in Isabel Allende's Zorro, going still by her given name, as a young girl in love with Diego de la Vega (Zorro).

I agree tina, this is what parenting has become and article in the newspaper of why do parents do…Read More this.

Even Mama baboons know enough, instinctively, to protect their babies from danger & harm. IMO…Read More there is no such thing as being "over-protective" when it comes to our most precious gifts.
I hesitate to refer to these baby-makers as "parents." No brains, no common sense, no ability to love someone else as much as they love their own sorry butts!!

heididwn2010 March 9, 2014 at 07:34 am
Ok a couple of things I read...
First Anheuser Busch no longer owns SeaWorld and they haven't for…Read More quite a few years
Second- Because of Seaworld kids grow up to care about these whales and other animals- without Seaworld and the up close personal experience and the education on these animals, kids aren't going to grow up and care, they aren't going to look out for these animals when they become endangered. Without education these animals are doomed
#3 as far as tricks go.. we train a dog to sit, beg, shake hands- I mean really
#4 He is actually only knowing responsible for 2 deaths- Daniel Dukes official cause of death was hypothermia and drowning- but there are risks when you work with large animals- you know those risks going in... obviously you hope it doesn't happen to you but you know there is a risk going in- all animals are unpredictable- a vet could be attacked by an animal as easily as a trainer- A person that owns a dog can be attacked by their own dog for no reason. Sometimes animals play with people and don't realize they are hurting them- 2 people in 30 years.. it's not like he is murdering trainers left and right
#5 You can't set animals free that grew up in captivity.. they won't know how to care for themselves
#6 They weren't put on this earth to entertain us? Think about it a different way- as children go to Seaworld, and see them, not only their beauty, but how smart they are- do you think it's possible 1 or two of them might grow up to want to help the animals that are in the wild, watch out for them, educate others about them, ensure they don't become endangered? etc... Without an understanding of these animals.. most wouldn't care.. or know the difference between an Orca and a Humpback whale

This is the same thing as prohibition of alcohol. If it is 'illegal', then it is a big deal &…Read More there is crime with the mob, & when it became legal, people consumed it like it was this great thing, then it backed off in popularity. MJ, no not Michael Jackson, is supposed to be an herbal remedy that helps some people relax, or with their pain, lack of appetite, but like alcohol, there is a time & place for it & it is definitely not to minors unless they have cancer (teen), & I think that if people want to try it, that it won't ruin their lives at all, some people don't like it. Personally I don't like it, it makes me feel all the things that make me grouchy, like being hungry all the time, tired & so allergic to it I get migraines, so I don't smoke or eat it. I would hope that people that have a license don't smoke & drive & don't give it to minors. It is a challenge already to keep teens away from it, but in CA, this is by medical license only, they don't sell to kids. It is quite expensive to get a license & you have to keep updating it as I understand from a family member who is very sick & has it. They actually deliver it to his home because he can't walk anymore. It helps him. If you are worried about your teen, then educate them about it. Oh & I also don't drink bcause that also gives me migraines & makes me feel bad.
So I get high on rock n roll, live music, dancing & outdoor activities. I believe they call it, hmmm, LIFE.

Well, well, listen to all the 'experts' posting on this story. Blame the cops, her husband, society,…Read More every one but the woman. Fact: women get away w/murder far more than men, 'cause it's just not their fault, is it? Criminal behavior is either punished by lengthy prison time, or commitment to a mental health hospital, hopefully for life. You simply cannot cure a seriously ill person and then release them, fact. Oh yeah, and let's add stupidity to this woman's crimes, she couldn't even practice birth control. Hmm, there's a cure for that too. If her husband did this henious crime, folks would be calling for the death penalty. Guess equality isn't really what it's cracked up to be.
oldfed March 8, 2014 at 08:26 pm
OK, let's go back to the basics...There is no such legal condition as "temporary…Read More insanity". Why, because the severe states that prompt this behavior are usually long-term, and NOT reversible or treatable. If this women is judged to be in this state, she must be remanded to a pyschiatric hospital for LIFE, period. NO custody of kids, and mandatory birth control. A man w/similar problems would be incarcerated for life in a regular prison, because men can't use the female dodge. Equality, not really...
GETALIFE March 8, 2014 at 12:25 pm
@Cort.....Teachers also teach and achieves the opposite of their claims.@Tony....Funny and Right.…Read More @Phillyboy, I do agree with you even though it probably will never happen. Do you know how many foreigners who get a free ride in college bumps out the American kid. I know plenty of kids who had really good grades in H.S. in A/P courses, Did very well and had high scores in both the SAT&ACT and just got into average colleges. Why? Look at Princeton University. If you go on campus and walk around they all appear and sound like foreigners to me. Some of these higher end colleges don't want to give the American kid a chance unless they play sports and can make the school some money.
Judy Robinson March 8, 2014 at 01:10 pm
Why any tests for college? If you graduate high school and want to go to college, that should be…Read More enough. Apparently you had the grades for a diploma.
Alek J Hidell March 8, 2014 at 01:42 pm
Keep the essay questions. The foreigners who can't really speak English are only stymied by this…Read More part of the test. Don't dummy down our nation. Half of the people posting here can't even formulate correct sentences..Go back to your own country and make it great. You cowards running away from your birthright are traitors, and we don't need anymore jabbering foreigners here with their senseless gibberish...

Kids do stupid and mean spirited things all the time and they're regularly chastised for it.…Read More "Why are you picking on me?" is always their complaint.
"Because..." is always the correct answer.
Then, there is the problem that young men goad each other into really stupid stuff. About the only cure for them is growing up. In the meantime, regularly burn their butts.

@Hemendalll what a awesome idea! We actually bought a bag of toys from the dollar store. My Daughter…Read More was so excited to get a surprise every time she went potty. That along with lots of love, encouragement, and patience, was the reason for our success :)

I happen to be lucky when my second child was potty trained. It took 1 day to potty train her. She…Read More was about 2 1/2 and was at my in-laws when my mother-in-law told her she ran out of diapers. My daughter went on the toilet and that was it. No more diapers and no accidents. She's 25 now, lol!
Matt B. March 7, 2014 at 05:51 pm
Releasing taxes for ten years is a good idea. There might be a few issues that I see. A lot of…Read More people are not tax attorneys and dont know tax laws. A lot of folks wont know what to look at. The MSM will only report on what was paid in taxes by what candidate, or how much they donated to charities. That really doesnt mean much to the average voter. All these idiots with a "D" or a "R" next to their name has enough money to pay well educated tax attorneys to help them pay less like Bob said.

Scott Peterson March 8, 2014 at 09:45 pm
Mitigating circumstance is argued in many criminal cases. The issue as I see it is that we easily…Read More accept excuses because we so often make them.
There is no mitigating circumstance here, two are dead because he couldn't control himself, turning him lose, ever, could come back to haunt as he loses control again. To quibble over degrees does not afford the loved ones a sense of justice and without that there can never be closure. Cases like this can drive people to secure justice for themselves and then people whine about taking the law into their own hands. Make no mistake, law and justice are not related terms nor are they typically found in the court rooms together. Criminal Justice System says it all, no justice for the victims.
Julie McCormick Garneau March 7, 2014 at 01:21 pm

I am so discussed in hearing things like this, if it's not the animals it's their kids. I have come…Read More to the conclusion that there are more mentally insane people roaming this earth, than there are decent normal people. This thug might as well swept streets because the public will not forgive him for this act of cruelty. I would have been more at ease with this story if he beaten his mother instead of the dog.

@paula sullivan silver, very thought provoking comments. I'd ask what we're able and willing to do…Read More now, rather than stand by and watch the predictions you mention come to fruition.
paula sullivan silver March 8, 2014 at 02:01 pm
All the modalities are out there and it will take a very special and powerful movement to integrate…Read More them into what I mentioned earlier "one" modality with an expedient sense of urgency to teach the masses yet there has to be a willingness to change and as we are seeing that hook, our children, our communities, our personal safety is spreading wide and far in all socio economic communities that non of us are immune to unless we build a wall and hand out guns, oh, we are basically doing that legally in affluent communities and illegally in poor but again the formation of harm comes from an inauthentic sense of wanting to be something, wanting power, not wanting to be left behind, inability to navigate ones biology which is being led by the parental figures of a family unit coupled with the values of society. This has to be usurped collectively and that journey is an inward journey of discovery not above anyone. Through this journey we dismantle our own ill structured value system which will aid in the restructuring of a more whole and authentic external structure system that will take in to consideration all of us, yet the will to only see oneself and ones family or likeminded/like-looking people as community is destructive to our all. Not all dollars are created equal and not all mitzvahs are genuine. My family tells me I should write a book and I'm trying to usurp my own sloth behavior :) Start with yourself and those you love by waging a battle with your own biology and educate yourself with Buddhism yet again, psychology is part of it as well as along with mindfully de-escalating responses to external stimuli, impetus for any behavior that is adding into the formation of disingenuous endeavors even purchases or addictions, self care and self remodeling of the desired results, striking down any thought against another in oneself...I could go on and on. A healthy authentic integration of ourselves and our society and our world is really the only collective goal that we should all be focusing on but again there is no power in the we only in the me.

As an aside, I know one couple - who'd lived in Deerfield for many decades, who recently decided to…Read More and did sell their home, and left. Though a retired professional with assets, they simply got tired of the ever increasing burdens of expansionist government spending that's clearly out of control. In the past decade or so Deerfield expanded the Police-Station, renovated and expanded the Village Hall, built the Turner Center, tore down a building and built a new building [of very limited scope of utility] in Jewett Park, renovated and expanded the Library, among other projects, and District 113 just put their snout into the taxpayer's pocket-trough for a couple of hundred million dollars to renovate Deerfield and Highland Park High-schools [schools that have been so structurally mismanaged and insufficiently maintained that it defies all logic to give the same people responsible for the deterioration of those facilities a lavish budget to - we must assume, start the process all over again.
Bear in mind just eight things:
real-incomes are down/have reverted to pre-1996 levels, population demographic forecasts in the Village are stagnant - at best, though likely trending downward [which compounds the aburdity of the projects mentioned above],
the State of Illinois recently raised the State's income-tax by 2/3rds,
the State is still grotesquely in debt to under-funded pension obligations,
these - along with the horrific condition of the State's infrastructure [road, bridges, rail-ways, etc],
the State {along with other taxing authorities} continue to give away 'incentives' to private companies that do not carry their weight, e.g., Boeing - which paid no federal income taxes for 2013 whatsoever, et al, and
globalization of labor will continue to put downward pressures on earnings {real-earnings}, and
the reduced tax-basis from decreased population [the flight from Illinois] and decreased real-earnings will only exacerbate the inability of these approximately 7,000 taxing bodies to continue their reckless ways.
All signs are indicating implosion - unchecked and utterly inefficient government is simply no longer tolerable!
Alice Riley March 8, 2014 at 10:42 am
coming from a suburb of Philadelphia where the schools were top notch… our property taxes…Read More were less than half for a 5 bedroom colonial on two acres than what we pay now for a 2 bedroom condo in Chicago! Over 15 years, our taxes never even doubled. Within a year of living here--our taxes over doubled!!! Although we love the city.. We will not stay here post retirement. Taxes here are out of control and there seems to be no cap in sight. No sales tax in PA on clothes or food either!!
Bernard Johnson March 8, 2014 at 10:54 am
I recently learned of another family in the Village who are leaving; they're so fed up that they're…Read More leaving the country entirely.
Setting our perspective outside of the Village of Deerfield, Bannockburn, Riverwoods, Highland Park, Lake Forest and Lake Bluff; the rest of Lake County isn't exactly a haven for tax revenues and/or productivity. Lake County is home to many people dependent on government - to some extent, and/or who live in poverty; they reside in Waukegan, North Chicago, Round Lake Beach, Zion, Park City and elsewhere.
Coupling the poverty that abounds in Lake County with the dire state of the State of Illinois and the... issues of the greater Midwest [Gary, Cleveland, Detroit, Flint, Milwaukee, Akron, Indianapolis, Peoria, Kankakee, Moline, Rockford, etc], the writing's on the wall - in great BIG red letters.
Right-to-work states [notably those in the South], as well as India, China and much of Southeast Asia will continue to drive labor's 'value' in the US downward. Illinois may be home to some Fortune 500 companies, but, many of them aren't expanding here, or don't make anything here whatsoever {Boeing, Caterpillar, et al}. Chicago's financial institutions are no longer her own. The Harris is Bank of Montreal, Continental is now Bank of American, LaSalle, Cragin, Talman and Exchange National are ABN AMRO; only the Northern Trust is still locally controlled. The CBOT and MERC may have experienced increased volume, but, their global market share is down. The floating of the the trading entities in Chicago is a retirement plan for seat-owners, but, any secure location for the computers and servers could perform the functions that Chicago's exchanges now perform. Funds from the Exchanges that used to go into overnight deposits in 'local' banks now search the highest overnight deposit rates on a global electronic basis. With the demise of open/outcry trading, electronic trading can be facilitated anywhere with an Internet connection. The demise of the Chicago and region's middle-class is overtly demonstrative. Caucasians are now the minority in the Chicago Public Schools. Where earlier waves of immigration into Chicago and the surrounding area brought physicians, physicists, scholars of all kinds, master plumbers, electricians, lathe operators and other highly skilled people from Germany, Russia, Hungary, Poland, etc; recent immigrants/migrants posses few marketable - let alone 'high-end', skills. The consequences of Chicago being a self-declared 'sanctuary city' are overt and of profound ramifications.
So, keep on spending [our money] while you can; those of us with any sense [or cents] are expatriating our assets and are soon to follow them - out of the dire state of the State of Illinois.

Fuel, hit the gym, refuel. Sounds like the right equation for getting fit and getting into your desired size, right? Then why isn't the scale budging?
If your weight loss has stalled, consider whether your pre- or post-workout snacks are sabotaging you.
Two scoops of a protein powder can add as many as 300 calories to your day. You'll get the same from some protein bars. Certain brands of ready-to-drink protein drinks are over 100 calories. Other sports drinks may add up to 50 calories. Read labels, be aware.
Try these tips to tip the scales in your favor and feel great while getting fit:
Unless you are doing high-intensity training. you probably don't need any extra or recovery calories, electrolytes, carbohydrates or protein.
Eat well, eat real foods. Focus on nutritious carbohydrates, including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, with meals. Drink plenty of water. Keep moving.
To your health and wellness,
Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
The label on a product represents its true picture. One must understand that buying products blindly will not help in achieving the desired results.
This really fails in the area of how important protein is when a person is lifting and trying to become more muscular. Protein powder is very helpful, and shouldnt be looked at so negatively. Given a good protein is used without so many calories/sugars. The protein powder being drank right after the workout can sustain a person for a few hours until the next meal. if your doing heavy lifting and simply have a high sugar fruit after working out, well your not going to accomplish anything.
many thanks for the advise. I have been taking Whey protein isolate daily (90 calories per scoop), 30 minutes prior and just after my workout . However, I split one scoop into two portions and mix with plain water. I have the workout before my breakfast ( non instant oatmeal with skim milk and blueberries plus two boiled egg whites).
someone could get very hurt buy taking too many sports vitiams.

I hope there is only one method to create partition on nonempty table (pls share any there is any other method for same) :
Does this commond drop the actual index? if yes, can i create similar index on the table?
(comments are locked)
That command doesn't create a partition - it would remove any partitions created by the index being dropped. To create a partition (or, more accurately, an index over a series of partitons) you would use CREATE INDEX and specify a partition scheme as the destination data space:
In answer to your other questions, yes - the index is actually dropped and yes, you can then create a similar index. Thanks Matt, what is a difference betweenCREATE TABLE......on [myPartitionScheme] ([partitoning_column] and CREATE INDEX......on [myPartitionScheme] ([partitoning_column] ? Which one is preferred & why?
Feb 22 '10 at 10:01 AM
When you specify ON in CREATE TABLE, it's either specifying where the heap goes (if you don't specify a clustered constraint) or it's actually doing nothing at all (if you do specify a clustered constraint). When you specify it on create index, you're specifying where that index will be stored, whether clustered or not.

An undrafted free agent out of UCLA in 2007, Matthew Willis came to the Denver Broncos after an unimpressive rookie year with the Baltimore Ravens. On December 23, 2008 Willis was signed to the Broncos practice squad. In 2009 he would see the field in only one game. 2010 was again a rough one for Willis (as it was for all of us Broncos fans) wherein Willis appeared in only six games amassing only 1 reception for 17 total yards.
Willis' 2011 season was something else entirely. Willis played in fifteen games and caught the ball 18 times for 267 yards and a touchdown with two fumbles. Though his stats are slight, it's helpful to remember that under the Tebow-led offense that the Broncos didn't pass all that often. What is telling is that he averaged 14.8 yards per catch and I remember him most the 2011 season as reliable receiver who regularly moved the chains when it was needed most.
2011 Highlights
Against Miami on October 23rd, Matthew Willis had one catch. Though as catches go, it was a doozy. With under five minutes to go in the 4th quarter caught a short pass from Tim Tebow and turned it into a 41-yard monster gain that helped set up a necessary touchdown reception by Demaryius Thomas. The Broncos would go on to win 18-15 in overtime thanks to great defensive play by DJ Williams and a Matt Prater fieldgoal.
Then against the Chicago Bears on December 11th with exactly :30 seconds left in the ballgame, Willis again caught a short pass and turned it into a 19-yard gain - putting Matt Prater in position to make the game tying 59-yard fieldgoal.The Broncos would go on to win 13-10 in overtime. Willis would finish the game with 4 catches for 75-yards, his best showing of during the 2011 season.
Willis was playing on a one year extension in 2011 and made $480,000. In 2012 he would stand to make $700,000 should the Broncos choose to bring him back.
I think that the Broncos will bring Willis back. I wouldn't go so far as to say that he's clutch, but he did make plays when they were needed most. His production as a receiver has steadily increased in each season of his career. He seems to have earned the trust of Tim Tebow and as Tebow's develpoment progresses so shall Matthew Willis'. I would be surprised and a little upset if Willis doesn't return.
Go Broncos!

What can one say about the 2012 Astros? There's really no nice way to describe the way they've played lately. Quite honestly, they've sucked. Their July was one for the history books as it was the fifth-worst month for any team in baseball history, and history is quite a long time. The Astros won just three of their 27 games during the month and are officially the worst team in all of MLB right now with a 35-71 record, only 10 of those coming away from home. In the NL, they are 14th in hitting (.242), 15th in ERA (4.82), their bullpen is atrocious (5.04 ERA, dead last in MLB) and the defense has committed the third-most errors (75). Their -135 run differential is the worst of any team. No matter how you slice it, the Astros have been horrible in what is to be their final year as a National League team.
On top of that, they've got a completely different look. In addition to dumping Carlos Lee, whom the Braves just saw with Miami, Houston has traded away five pitchers, one of them their best in Wandy Rodriguez plus their closer Brett Myers, and their regular third baseman Chris Johnson. Johnson had been the second-best hitter on the team next to All-Star Jose Altuve with a .279 batting average, and his 41 RBI were second to J.D. Martinez's 53. New reliever Francisco Cordero has yet to earn any fans in Houston, blowing three saves in his six games since being traded, allowing 11 runs. Jed Lowrie, the team leader with 14 home runs, has been on the DL since July 15 with a sprained right ankle.
This series will also feature the Braves debut of Paul Maholm, acquired from the Cubs July 30.

I did the entire procedure as shown in message 2 but I still get the "Autodesk Design Review 2011 (0x643 Internal Error)" message after it tries installing for a few moments.
Interestingly, none of the registry keys that I was supposed to delete were present.
Windows XP pro 2002 SP3.
Mickey Morgan
I followed the suggestion to remove the Microsoft Visualbasic programs but Design review put them back and the installation failed again.
I bailed and went to 2010 which is still an upgrade from where I was previously. That installation worked. I'll wait until the 2012 version as I don't want to spend more time on 2011.
Very helpful post. My Design Review 2011 install was failing and uninstalling Design Review 2008 was throwing a "Fatal Error." The first set of instructions didn't help, but the second "complete removal" procedure did.
thanks much.
Same here, on Vista Business X64 (german). Tried everything but this **** thing just won't install. (Why am I not surprised?)
Error 1603
major install issue.
When I went to install design review 2011 (upgrade reccomended from the program itself) everything went fine till the very end of the install where it crashed, I've attached the install log.
At this point I cannot install Design Review 2011, or 2010 (screen shots of the errors I get when I try to do 2010 attached).
I need this program to markup window layouts for work, and without it am basically stuck.
It seems that the registry key are locked, and I can't even access them to delete or remove. Help?
If you are not able to delete the keys, then you are trying to install as a user that is not an admin.
Must be admin to install.
I am the only user on this computer and yes I am setup as an admin.

Recipe by kristincsw
"A little sweet with some heat! This sauce is velvety and gives the look and feel of a rich, fattening sauce. You can adjust the heat by cutting/adding more chipotle to preference...Once served over pasta, you can add Parmesan cheese and red pepper to taste."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons minced sweet onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
1/3 cup low-fat milk
1 teaspoon ground sage
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
I have made this recipe at least 5 times already and I just found it last month. It is excellent, and I love how you can turn up/down the heat factor with the amount of chipotle peppers you add. I love spicy food, so I always add extra, but for those who don't do spicy like that, you can decrease what you add without compromsing the flavor. The pumpkin adds such a great counter to the chipotle. I have played around with the recipe the last two times I made it, and I've found that making a roux first helps with a thick sauce. I saute the onions and garlic in butter (maybe about 1/4 cup) and then add flour to make a thick paste. I then continue on with the recipe by adding the chicken broth, etc. Great recipe either way!
I was so excited about this one - it's quick and healthy and contains some of my favorite flavors. I followed the recipe to the letter, but unfortunately it was really not very good. It needed something, and I can't even figure out what would have saved it.

I liked this quite a bit. I added more onion because I like it and didnt realize until the very end I was out of coriander! Very tasty sauce and a nice change from a tomao based one.. healthy too. I'll def make again!
Loved this! I actually made this in a slow cooker: no butter, did the onions in the chicken broth first, then followed instructions as listed. I used Radiatore pasta. This has a big (and YUMMY) kick, but if you don't handle spicy well, you could half the chipotle. Also, if you wanted some protein, this would pair well with chicken. Great for a fall twist on pumpkin, but I will be making this year round!
Instead of using the peppers in sauce, I used 1/2 tsp. chipotle pepper seasoning, water instead of broth, and used soy milk instead of cow's milk. Once you accustom yourself to the spiciness of the sauce, it is great! I prefer this to a tomato based sauce on homemade noodles!
Unique creamy sauce if you like pumpkin; so easy. Although you can't detect the cinnamon, it's definitely a must. I added extra chipotle. I liked it! Thanks Kristincsw!
This was really, really good. Served it with poached chicken and fettucini. The spice level was intense but eating it slowly plus a nice glass of wine with dinner helped cut the burn. I'll definitely make this again - I can imagine it being amazing on pork chops, I don't think this is limited to pasta!
Boys love it. Interesting twist on sauce

I had found someone on here and went to Nigeria and married and did paperwork to bring her here to the USA. Got approved but she lied to the visa officer and to me and she got denied. So I spend a lot of money on her supported her for 4 yrs and got divorce. I met another woman from Ghana same thing happen to me again. Wasted a lot of money for love so be careful out there. And also lots of fake pics out there too. -

I was in afro for 2 months. It was very interactive and soooo much fun. In those two months i met so many lovely people some of whom are my friends to date. I am now married to one of the guys i met for 2 years now. I think its fab. Yes, there are some wierdos, but there's lots of lovely people too. My advice to the ladies...don't mess up people's marriages and don't be slutty..you will attract the wrong people...and to all you lovely guys out there-try not to give money to anyone you haven't met and established a relationship with. Cheers all!
