Group B Strep During Pregnancy
Do you belong to the large group of women with group B strep? Testing for group B strep will help you find out.
What group B strep testing screens forGroup B strep (GBS) is a type of common bacteria normally found in the vagina and rectum of many women (estimates are between 10 and 35 percent of all women). It is harmless to the women who have it, but during birth it can be transmitted to the baby, causing infection. Women with group B strep during pregnancy can be treated with IV antibiotics during labor to prevent this possibility.
Who group B strep testing is forAll pregnant women should be tested for GBS. Women with preterm labor, premature rupture of the membranes, and fever during labor are considered at risk for group B stress during pregnancy. They will likely receive IV antibiotics during labor.
How group B strep testing is doneDuring a pelvic exam, your practitioner will test for group B strep during pregnancy by taking a swab of your vagina and a separate swab of your rectum (sorry!). The swabs will be sent to a lab for analysis.
When group B strep testing is done
This test is usually performed in week 36 of pregnancy (or earlier if birth is imminent).
Risks: There are no known risks associated with having the test for GBS. The benefit is being able to prevent a potentially serious strep infection in your newborn.

Outpatient Breastfeeding Clinic
The Value of Breastfeeding
Making the choice to breastfeed is one of the most precious gifts that a mother can give her newborn. Approximately 60 percent of women in our community initiate breastfeeding, but at the three-month point, many have given up. St. John Providence Health offers an Outpatient Breastfeeding Clinic to help new moms overcome common problems so they can continue breastfeeding.
"Many times, women quit breastfeeding because of difficulties they encounter, whether it is insufficient milk supply, painful breastfeeding, or poor weight gain in the infant," said Paula Schreck, MD, Medical Director of St. John Providence's Outpatient Breastfeeding Clinic. "We can help with all those difficulties, and help women find success in breastfeeding, which greatly benefits their infants."
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that most women initiate breastfeeding because contraindications to breastfeeding are rare, and encourages women to breastfeed exclusively for six months, and then continue until the baby reaches at least one year.
The many benefits of breastfeeding for the infant include:
Better digestion (less colic, gas, spitting up)
Reduction or elimination of food allergies and eczema
Protection from bronchitis, pneumonia, diabetes, and asthma
Fewer diaper rashes
Enhanced brain development
Fewer ear infections
The benefits to the mother include:
protection against anemia
decreased incidence of post-partum depression
enhanced post-delivery weight loss
enhanced birth control
With benefits like these, why do so many women quit breastfeeding? Without support, issues like a poor latch, insufficient milk supply, engorgement, painful breastfeeding, or the infant's poor weight gain can be overwhelming for the mother. In addition, babies with medical conditions such as prematurity, cleft palate, Down's Syndrome and other genetic syndromes may not naturally breastfeed as well as other babies.
Recent honors
The St John Hospital Outpatient Breastfeeding Clinic has received recognition for their work, including:
- (2009) - Statewide Health Care Community Award from the Breastfeeding Network of Michigan - Healthy Mothers and Healthy Babies Coalition.
- (2011) - IBCLC Care Award from the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners.
- (2011) - Recipient of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation Grant: St. John - Mother Nurture Project.
St John Macomb, Providence and Providence Park Hospitals are members of the National Institute of Child Health Care Quality "Best-Fed National Collaborative" (2012)
Making an Appointment at the Outpatient Breastfeeding Clinic
Patients may self-refer, or their pediatrician or OB/GYN may suggest an appointment. In one to three appointments, 90 percent of problems will be solved.
During the appointment, which is 45 minutes to an hour long, specially trained lactation consultants observe and assess a feeding. A physician specially trained in breastfeeding medicine also works directly with the patients to solve their issues and make breastfeeding a beneficial experience for both mother and infant.
"We can help nearly every mother and infant," said Dr. Schreck. "For instance, if the problem is insufficient supply, we can assess latch, augment with a pumping schedule or help with homeopathic preparations or medications."
In addition to teaching the patient how to effectively pump breast milk, the clinics also has a full retail boutique with a wide variety of pumps available for rental or purchase in addition to breastfeeding supplies, and clothing for breastfeeding mothers, all at prices generally lower than at other retail locations.
Patients come to the breastfeeding clinics only to solve issues with breastfeeding. All other medical and developmental issues with the child are referred back to the child's pediatrician.
The average cost of formula feeding is $3000 a year, for basic formula. Costs can greatly increase if the baby needs a specialized formula.
"The cost of breastfeeding is free, but beyond that, mothers should know that breast milk is a dynamic fluid that changes throughout the day and months that a mother breastfeeds," said Dr. Schreck. "Breast milk is different when a baby is six weeks old vs. six months, and it changes perfectly to suit the needs of the child to make them as healthy as possible. There is no exact substitute."

Good Sam RV Parks
Whispering Oaks RV Park Offers Big Texas Accommodations
April 1, 2013 by Good Sam Camping Team · Leave a Comment
Texans have been known to do things in a big way, and Whispering Oaks RV Park off of I-10 between Houston and San Antonio is no exception. For starters, 42 of the Weimar-based park's 51 spaces are pull-through sites, making the park a favorite destination of drivers of big RVs. In the same hearty Lone Star spirit, sites boasts fire rings, and wood is sold on the premises to keep the campfire going.
Guests can keep the pilot light in their RV lit as well with propane sold seven days of the week. There's also a well-stocked store. Each full-hookup site boasts 50 amps of power for steady supply of juice for air conditioning and other appliances. You can also rely on the shade from the oaks that tower over the sites.
Walk out of your RV to enjoy the dog run, horseshoe pit and playground. Traveling with a group? The large pavilion hosts club outings, family reunions and other group events. Hungry travelers can order up tasty meals on the premises from Hunt Brothers Pizza, which serves up a variety of pizzas along with spicy hot wings. Wash your clothes after a busy day at the park's 24-hour laundry service and if your RV needs to attention, you don't have to hunt for a repair facility: mechanical repairs are available for RV engines and chassis. To add to the upscale environment, paved interior roads link the park's buildings and sites.
Location also plays a Texas-size role in Whispering Oak's appeal. The RV resort is just one hour away from the shimmering waters of the gulf and an hour from the sophisticated metropolis of Houston. Head the opposite direction for about two hours, and you'll reach San Antonio, home of the Alamo and other historic Texas attractions.
Local treasures also beckon visitors. Peruse vintage items during Texas Antique Weekend, held in the spring and fall in nearby Carmine. Also popular is the Fayetteville Country Music Show, in which traditional country music, western swing and country gospel songs are performed regularly in the small town just 20 minutes away. Other big events include the Painted Churches Tour, made up of visits to colorfully painted places of worship that are on the Register of Historic Places, and the Scare Crow Festival, which celebrates the iconic straw men who protect farmers' crops.

The Rosetta mission has sent back a bevy of up-close and personal photos of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko with a level of detail that boggles the mind.
Not long ago, the Internet was speculating that Comet 67P was on the reddish side, but a new image from the European Space Agency shows the comet goes for gray.
In 2014, humanity tagged a comet and became better acquainted with Mars and our place in the universe. Take a tour through the year in space.
In an out of this world first, the space probe enters the gravitational pull of a comet ahead of a landing attempt scheduled for November.
Rosetta researchers think comets are less likely to be the source of Earth's water than previously thought, which also makes them a great source of fuel for fictional starship warp cores.
A color image of Rosetta's comet buddy has emerged online and may shine some brightness on a comet that has become famous in black and white.
It's one of the most historic thuds heard in recent years. At only two seconds long, it offers a lot more data for scientists to unpack than you might think.
Rosetta spent more than a decade traveling from Earth to hop a ride on a comet for the first time in history. Here's a look back at one long cosmic road trip.
Space history is rarely made without some hiccups. Rosetta's lander, Philae, successfully reached its new comet home, but it's now in a precarious operating position.
The hunt for Rosetta's lost lander Philae is gaining steam as scientists pore over images from above the comet that may help reveal its final location.

Women, wine and whiskey
Selby Winery, The Brown Hotel and Maker's Mark held a Salute to Women, Wine and Whiskey last Friday evening. It was fun, tasty and interesting. And it was held to benefit the culinary arts program at Sullivan University.
Dinner guests got to meet the participants, hear their stories and taste their products.
Victoria MacRae-Samuels, vice president of operations for Maker's Mark, was there, and her cocktails were oh so good!
Chef Katie Payne, of Sullivan University, prepared delicious hors d'oeuvres. My favorite was a mini cannoli country ham salad with Kenny's cheddar cheese.
Susie Selby, of Selby Winery, was taught by her father, who was a doctor first and then a winery owner. She is head of the winery now and has done it all from being a "cellar rat" to now being a winemaker who created Clean Coast wines. They benefit the Gulf Coast cleanup efforts after the 2010 oil spill. Since that time, due to the natural disasters that have devastated parts of the U.S., Clean Coast wines now benefit efforts to aid domestic disaster relief and recovery.
Susie also produces Monkey Business, a wine made simply for your fun and enjoyment. Monkey Business Zinfandel is erupting with ripe flavors of raspberry and dark cherry. Subtle hints of vanilla from the American oak barrels will grip you like a monkey hanging on the highest tree branch. (How is that for being a quick learner?)
There are other fine Selby wines, but after tasting too many, you feel like the monkey in the tree.
Chef Julie Francis, of Nectar Restaurant in Cincinnati, made cured wild salmon with peppered yogurt, marinated oyster mushroom, pea and radish salad with Kentucky paddlefish caviar.
Our Kathy Cary, of Lilly's, prepared shrimp and lobster dumplings poached in lobster broth with peri-peri sauce, Champagne beurre blanc and cilantro. It was to die for!
Chef Ouita Michel, of Holly Hill Inn in Midway, fixed smoked Kentucky squab, bourbon-soaked cherries and candied oranges over a bacon, scallion and jalapeno spiked Johnny cake. (We call them hoe cakes, and I adore them. Someone of influence saw to it that I got an extra one. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!)
Chef Regina Mehallick, of R Bistro in Indianapolis, did whiskey-marinated lamb loin with sautéed escarole and beetroot.
Chef Meg Galus, of the Park Hyatt in Chicago, did Manjari Cremeaux with hibiscus-poached plums, hazelnut crunch and red fruit sorbet. Oh my!
Susan Maurais, of Ghyslain Chocolatier, served her assorted chocolates accompanied by Consumers Choice Rain Forest Coffee. She and her husband, Ghyslain, have Ghyslain Chocolatier shops in Indiana and here. They have just located in the carriage house on East Market Street behind the old Neurath Funeral Home that is now the Markethall, home of Creation Gardens.
Their chocolate shop is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have wonderful pastries, sandwiches and ice cream. Ghyslain's chocolates are not only beautiful but they are also sinful!
The evening was created by Jamie Estes, of Estes Public Relations. Jamie does work only for the best of the food industry, and she is located here in Louisville.
Saturday evening, Don Wenzel hosted a reception for Rebecca Issacs from Los Angeles. She is executive director of the Equality Federation USA.
This beautiful, charming young woman is a force in the movement for equality in this country.
Sponsors of the evening were Horseshoe Casino and Resort, Lindy Casebier, Mike Berry, Peggy Welsh Mudd, Eric Carter, Shannon Westerman, Patti Hall and Kelly Brendleer, Byron Gatewood and Allen Purnell, Brent Carter and Bob German, Mark England and Mike Handly, Travis Myles and Scott Burchett, David Corbett, Nick Wilkerson, Carla Sue and Brad Broecker, Karen Keute, Bob and Cindy Maddox, Maraia and Tom James, Doug Leezer and David Johnson, Rick Heath and Merrily Orsini, Charles Veneable and Martin Webb, David Roth, Leslie and Joe Hale, Ann Georgehead and Craig Scherman.

Recently a friend came to me in tears, asking if we could talk. She has been miserably unhappy for months, she explained, and it all came to a head that morning… when her boyfriend proposed to her.
This is a friend who, only months ago, had been on an extended run of "I'm so in love I want to shout it from the mountaintops, and I don't care who I annoy." Apparently since then she and her beloved have been in conflict, not about whether or not they are perfect for each other and should get married, but about when, where and how he would propose.
While I could see that my friend was truly in pain and have compassion for her, this exchange also switched a little lightbulb for me, or more precisely brought up a lot of questions. About Valentine's Day. About the expectations that even the most enlightened feminist women place on their male partners, and what the desire to act out this gendered role-play is about. About the perverse myopia that causes us to fret over lost two-dimensional stereotypes when real live, living breathing partners are standing there right in front of us, offering their love (each in his own unique way).
Women don't like being forced into stereotypes of what it means to be a woman, dull and limiting roles when our true selves are so brilliantly diverse and multi-colored. We shouldn't try to force men into limiting roles either! My partner does love me deeply, and occasionally it's in a Hallmark way like with flowers sent to work. (On those days all the other women in my office can secretly measure their own femininity against mine, based on the frequency and degree of displays of stereotypically masculine romantic behavior by their partners. Ick!) But most of the time it's some other way. And that doesn't mean he loves me any less.
Hm, will mull this over and post more later.

Photo #: NH 41819
In dry dock at the Boston Navy Yard, Charlestown, Massachusetts, 19 March 1928, following salvage.
The original caption reads: "S-4 in drydock, with bodies of eight seamen still sealed in one of its compartments .... The S-4 as she slowly emerged from the water in dry dock today, disclosing the huge hole in her side."
The submarine sank after colliding with USCGC Paulding on 17 December 1927. The hole from the collision was in her starboard hull side, just forward of her deck gun, and is not visible in this photograph, which was taken from off S-4's port quarter.
Salvage pontoons YSP-10 and YSP-6 are visible in the background. Several diving support rafts are alongside the submarine.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than x-rays, in the range 10 nm to 400 nm, and energies from 3 eV to 124 eV. It is so named because the spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than those that humans identify as the color violet.
UV light is found in sunlight and is emitted by electric arcs and specialized lights such as black lights. As an ionizing radiation it can cause chemical reactions, and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce. Most people are aware of the effects of UV through the painful condition of sunburn, but the UV spectrum has many other effects, both beneficial and damaging, on human health.

text: Boullier already at work with McLaren in Bahrain 19 February, 2014 Eric Boullier in Bahrain McLaren's newly appointed Racing Director Eric Boullier, who was only expected to take up his new post on 3 February, is already with his new team in Bahrain. Spotted in the McLaren pit garage, kitted out in team gear, Boullier was taking a keen interest in the workings and procedures of his new work place. In the aftermath of Ron Dennis' coup at McLaren, Boullier was lured away from Lotus to take up the new position at Woking, which has been seen as an indirect replacement of McLaren's former Team Principal, Martin Whitmarsh. Of his appointment Boullier said in typical F1 PR speak: "I'm both eager and determined to play an active part, working alongside McLaren Racing's other senior managers and directors, within a new operational structure, to bring about the changes that will deliver success."

Hugo Lafreniere «Ron's coup»? McLaren operates the way any big corporation does : shareholders call the shot. These shareholders got tired of Whitmarsh not delivering, and with Mosley out of the picture, bringing Ron Dennis back was not a liability. They thus gave him a mandate to turn the team's fortune around, which, so far, seems to have happened (although I am aware that development of the MP4-29 started under Whitmarsh).

Summer Celtics impressing with team play despite importance of individual success
His name is Billy and I still hate him. I spent no more than four days of my life with him, nine years ago. I don't even know his last name, but thinking about him makes me want to grab a lighter and the nearest bucket of kerosene and drive straight to his house. I'm deranged, I know. And somewhat lucky I don't know where Billy lives, because jail doesn't seem like a very fun place.
Billy was the "point guard" on my team at Hoop Mountain basketball camp during the summer before my senior year of high school. I put quotation marks around the term point guard because he played the position like Allen Iverson did, except without anything resembling talent or athleticism.
If you've ever played at a high school basketball camp attended by college coaches interested in recruiting for their programs, you know how the pressure of impressing important people can make certain players certifiably insane.
The extra pass is little more than a myth at recruiting camps. Whoever grabs a defensive rebound is just as likely to dribble to the opposite three-point arc and launch a contested jumper as he is to throw a solid outlet pass and sprint his lane in transition. The quality of basketball decreases significantly because naive high school players think the path to a scholarship includes launching as many ill-advised jump shots as possible. I'm (thankfully) far enough removed from camp basketball that I've lost count of the number of times I contemplated murdering a camp teammate.
Billy was at the top of my hit list.
"YOU'RE NOT IMPRESSING ANYBODY OUT HERE BY BRICKING 27-FOOTERS, YOU SLOW-FOOTED, 5-FOOT-7 ASSHOLE!!!!" I may or may not have shouted at him on multiple occasions.
NBA Summer League hoops can provide many of the same challenges. Summer leaguers aren't looking to impress college coaches, but everyone who participates in summer league has something for which to fight. Some are looking for a roster spot. Others, a training camp invite. The more established players and high draft picks are hoping to prove themselves worthy of rotation minutes and maybe even a starting spot once the regular season arrives. Nobody can afford to be complacent at summer league because players who can afford complacency spend their summers elsewhere.
Somehow, the Summer Celtics have managed to focus on playing basketball the right way. They are 6-1, with their eighth contest coming at 6:30 p.m. ET this evening against the Sacramento Kings (JIMMER!!). Only three Celtics summer leaguers (JaJuan Johnson, Jared Sullinger and Fab Melo) possess guaranteed contracts for the upcoming season, and summer league team success is as valuable as a bounced check. Still, the Summer Celtics make the extra pass and share the basketball. They play like they are interested in securing the top seed in an imaginary postseason.
"We had Orlando and coming to Vegas, I think that gave us kind of like an edge, because we had chemistry already," Kris Joseph said on Monday, according to ESPN Boston. "We played a whole week together, so it's great. We came out here, all we're trying to do is win basketball games and we've been able to do that so far.
"At the end of the day, I'm just trying to play basketball. If you start thinking [about securing a roster spot] you can start to get a little overanxious. I'm just trying to play ball the way I know how, the way I've been doing it, and that's what it's been so far, just playing well, playing within myself and the team concept."
Joseph doesn't have a guaranteed contract. Neither does Moore, though his could become guaranteed by Sunday. Dionte Christmas, to my knowledge, doesn't even have a training camp invite yet. Johnson, Sullinger and Melo are fighting for regular season minutes. Jamar Smith, Jonathan Gibson, Stephane Lasme, Larry Owens and Craig Brackins are all fringe players hoping for another chance at a roster spot, or maybe a better overseas gig. Sean Williams, like Moore, has a non-guaranteed contract of which he is trying to prove worthy.
For so many reasons, this team could resort to the high school camp, anything-goes mentality. Instead, it has focused on winning games. The Celtics have assembled a roster of players who realize the team isn't looking for stars. Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers want role players who can defend, share the ball and preferably hit shots when the opportunity arises. They want winners, not necessarily explosive scorers — though that would help, too.
I've enjoyed watching the Summer Celtics. Partially, that enjoyment stems from there being no other basketball to watch during the summer. I love the summer for beaches and tans and girls who look damn cute in tiny shorts, but watching SportsCenter in July can be enough to make me want to stick nine-inch nails through each one of my eyelids. There's only so much baseball a sane man can swallow. But even if I weren't so basketball-starved, the Summer Celtics are enjoyable. Moore is rock steady, Christmas continues his surprise run at making an NBA roster, Joseph has established himself as a legitimate, well-rounded talent, Sullinger and Melo have done nothing to dim our hopes, and the remainder of the Celtics play hard on a consistent basis. It's like watching the 2012 Celtics all over again, except they're considerably less talented and don't have any championship hopes to use for motivation.
The motivators at summer league are different — improvement, impressions, and maybe, for the lucky ones, a chance to make an NBA roster. The Summer Celtics have channeled their hopes and aspirations into team play, which is the best way to impress Ainge, Rivers or any of the other evaluators present at the summer league games.
If only Billy had channeled his emotions in the same mature manner. I know it's crazy to hate someone I barely even knew for nine years, but I wish you could have seen that selfish bastard's shot selection.

IPL is Not Rape of Cricket but a Promise of Million Mutinies
"…The BCCI is a destructive body determined to kill cricket. If anyone is planning a coup d'etat against it, count me in. The present lot must be removed before they inflict further damage. Meanwhile, all cricket lovers must hope the IPL is a complete and total flop. And the people who conjured up this dreadful scheme are badly burned."
National leaders of all hue from Gurudas Dasgupta to Bal Thackeray via Sharad Yadav have already lambasted IPL, some of them calling for its ban.
I disagree with all of them as far as IPL is concerned.
While growing up, I played and watched gulli sports from kabaddi to cricket and I strongly feel that people should get an opportunity to play/participate in a sport locally. And those who do should make reasonable living out of the same.
Fan like me should get an opportunity to see a sporting action on a local ground and not just on TV. I have always enjoyed watching a gulli game far more than the one on TV.
IPL and ICL are those opportunities.
Many people have called auction of the players vulgar.
If it's so, most other things should also be called vulgar: Highly educated people changing three jobs in two days for more money, film stars charging obscene money to inaugurate shops, TV serials propagating pseudosciences, citizens changing nationality like soiled clothes, goons lynching poor labourers because they don't speak a particular language, society at large that holds the poor criminally responsible for their position, news media that will catastrophize anything they can, people that worry about their own children but don't feel hurt or pained when they see others' children exploited or treated badly…
I feel IPL is likely to give huge opportunity to young people from weaker sections of Indian society to make it big. It is a promising tool to promote social mobility in India. Today BCCI may be controlling this localization of Indian cricket but tomorrow may throw a lot of surprises at it.
If a boy enjoys his cricket, is prepared to work hard for it, cannot afford expensive higher education, with a bit of luck, he needn't study his textbooks.
Therefore, following picture is no exaggeration.

Arizona recently repealed a year-old requirement for a statement of use tax liability for online purchases on a taxpayer's income tax return, according to a story in this week's issue of Bloomberg BNA's Weekly State Tax Report. While the legislation [S.B. 1214] repeals the tax reporting requirements, it does not erase the taxpayer's liability to pay taxes owed, the story provides.
The Arizona Legislature enacted H.B. 2332 in 2011 requiring a person who "stores, uses, or consumes'' tangible personal property that is subject to use tax for a nonbusiness purpose to declare the annual amount of tax due on that person's income tax return, if the tax was not collected by a registered retailer, the story explains.
The reporting requirement was on income tax forms used for year 2011 taxes, and was regarded at the time of enactment as a first gauge of the amount of internet purchases made by Arizona residents, Bloomberg BNA's Daily Tax Report said in an April 2012 story.
Supporters of the repeal, however, called the reporting requirement cumbersome because many taxpayers did not keep track of whether sales tax was collected for online purchases, the story said.
Meanwhile a new study out of Minnesota's House Research Department is reevaluating the state's efforts to collect the use tax via the income tax return, and options for Minnesota to use the income tax return to increase use tax reporting and collections.
Thirty-eight states impose both a sales and use tax and an individual income tax, with twenty-five of these states providing use tax reporting on individual income tax returns, the report states.
In looking to the other states, the study reports that "collections in Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Michigan all increased substantially in the year following implementation of use tax reporting on the income tax return."

The 1960s and 1970s were decades of such intense decline for the American railroad industry that many people wondered if it might become obsolete altogether. As freight revenues fell and passenger traffic dropped, the railroad became perceived as a dinosaur—useful only as a relic of the past. However, the railroads that were stagnating 30 years ago are once again thriving and are expected to endure. There are several reasons for the railroads' turnaround.

From an Arab American cab driver:
4:00 pm on November 21, 2012 Email Laurence M. Vance
Lawrence, you said in your recent blog post, "I am so sick of hearing about veterans as if they were some special class of people. We have too many veterans." Me too! I'm sick of 'em too! I am an American of Arab descent. I own a taxi company here in Phoenix. Every so often I have people call and ask if I give discounts to veterans. To the last one who asked, I said, "That depends. Do you promise to stop killing my cousins?" He hung up on me.

Dinghy Sales Pitch on the Nile
Watch this amazing stunt. While cruising on the Nile, small boats captained by hungry merchants lasso the ship and haggle with passengers while being dragged by the ship upstream.

In response to your comment of 'how do you pay for it? ' …! When the vendors hooked onto your Nile cruise boat and tossed items onboard for you to look at and possibly purchase – it's simple – if you like the item you merely put the money into the same plastic bag and toss the plastic bag back. In my case, I liked the shirt but requested another size while I tossed this one back to them. Instantly the correct size was very accurately tossed into my awaiting arms – perfect aim – don't know how in the choppy waters. I put money into the bag and tossed it back. It ended up in the Nile and in one second they had their 'scoop' out and scooped up the bag containing the money before it sank. Oh, and did I mention – I was on the fourth deck of the boat! ! My friend had a shirt tossed right through the small open window of her cabin on the third deck – imagine her surprise ?? Wonder how much money is resting at the bottom of the Nile. what a hoot this was – and won't forget it – certainly worth the cost of the shirt ! !

I've been to Egypt several times, both before and after the revolution. I am an American blonde woman so I can say with experience that it is safe for women to travel alone there. You can use a guide book but why bother with that when personal guides are SO inexpensive, interesting and fun?

Which mug will you choose on Saturday morning? . . .
I will pick the mug on the right since I don't drink tea in the morning. I need two big cups of strong perked coffee to get my day going, with soy milk/no sugar. A new magazine would be nice but I rarely get my hands on anything very current. I have several friends who save their old ones for me since I don't subscribe to any periodicals in my continuing effort to save the planet. The good thing about getting used magazines is you can rip out pages with wild abandon and no guilt.
Enjoy the day and the weekend.

Today is National Handwriting Day and Neatness Counts
Get out your pens boys and girls. It's time for penmanship. Oh, how I loved this class in the fourth grade! It was such a rite of passage to leave the childish printing behind and learn CURSIVE.
I looked through my flat files and found this page from Lena Carroll's 1873 lesson book.
This is a screen capture from an online website that teaches children cursive. When you mouseover each letter, it shows you how to write it. See 2nd link at end of this post.
This is a penmanship exercise from the late 19th century that I found online and copied.
You can download and print these cursive flash cards ~ see the last link below.
Today really is National Handwriting Day. I hope you will take the time to read the full article from The Boston Globe (first link below). It really made my hair stand on end when I read that there are 20 and 30 year olds that can't read cursive! How can this be? I can understand when 5 year olds say they can't read script but not young adults. What has happened?
I read an article recently about a young girl who sent 35,000 text messages in one month. We e-mail, we text, we Twitter - what will become of handwriting? Parents should insist that their children are taught these basic skills. It would be a real handicap later in life to be illerate in cursive and incapable of executing a handwritten letter or thank you note in your best penmanship.
I still have the fountain pen that I got as a high school graduation present and I have some bottles of real ink too. In my desk I have quite an assortment of antique writing instruments acquired over the years from relatives or purchased at estate sales. Sadly, I don't use them as much as I used to but I could if I wanted!
Try to write something beautiful today in your best hand to celebrate this special day and help keep handwriting alive.
Feel free to comment if you have any strong feelings on this subject. Thanks, Rosemary

I've just got back from a Charlatans gig at Hammersmith Palais in London. Anyone that knows me will tell you that I'm a massive massive Charlatans fan so I've had a great night. They played alot of stuff from earlier albums like "With No Shoes" from Tellin' Stories, "Inside Looking Out" from Up To Our Hips and "Here Comes A Soul Saver" from the eponymous fourth album; songs that I never thought I'd ever hear live again so after the gig I was buzzing.
But, even given all that, I'm down in the dumps cos soon after I realised that some b*****d tea-leafed my Pentax Optio S5i from right outta my pocket. I've only had it a few months and had a summer of music festivals, camping trips and lazy days in the sun planned in which to really get some use out of it - not any more. The missus has been sympathetic but I don't think she truly understands the pain a gadget freak such as myself goes through in these situations.
Anyway, it means that I'm wide awake contemplating the ills of the world so plenty o'time to do some much needed blogging before Mark overtakes me in the Conchango blogging leaderboard :)
I've recently been in touch with Richard Lees, a kiwi living in Sydney, who has been making his first steps on the treacherous road to SSIS enlightenment. Richard was having a bit of grief understanding how to use the Foreach loop container to loop over a load of files in a folder so I put together this simple downloadable demo to illustrate the concept.
To use the package you need to place the 3 enclosed text files into your "C:\Temp" folder and make sure there are no other "*.txt" files in there. Then simply run the package. It does a number of things:
I hope this alleviates some of the pain people are having in using the file enumerator in the Foreach container. Its a wonderfully powerful feature of SSIS and will have many uses as SSIS gets unleashed unto the masses.
Meantime, I am going to leave you, stick on my most downbeat Radiohead CD and return to my morose mourning for my beloved camera!!!
Quite often you may want to process data from multiple files all at the same time. There are a number
I went through this Blog,"Processing data from multiple files all at once " I tried to with option 2 - "Loop over the files in a Foreach loop".
I did Set up all the this as per the document here.
But my for eachloop continer loades same file for many times. (e.g. if have 5 files in the folder it loads same file 5 times.) It does not points to the next file.
Please let me know how to set it.
Appreciate your help.
I know this is a REALLY late answer to what Jason asked... but I am having the same problem. I want to use a variable for the folder where the files are contained.
After much searching, I finally found this:
The post by Marianne looks like it should let me set the path to what I want.
Ok, I'm not sure wether I missed the part where you explained how to use a recordset destination in a FOREACH , but I can't figure out how to open a Recordset Object Variable in a script task within a FOREACH loop
I'm a bit confused, what exactly are you trying to achieve when you say that?
This is nice and have help me, but there is something missing that someone asked before and i cannot see an answer, i will ask again maybe i can explain it better, i require to process multiple files in a folder, folder and mask for file name will come from variables loaded from database, so what i don't know how to do is to tell to foreach that the folder and file mask must be taken from a variable, i guess it can be done using expression properties, but don't know which ones.
This should help: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/10/13/SSIS_3A00_-Expressions-on-ForEach-enumerators.aspx
You can dismiss my question, I already found the answer, the problem was that the Properties you can specify in the Expressions that are shown in the Properties window are not the same that the ones shown if you click in the Expressions inside Edition dialog of Foreach. This is some kind weird.
Why is it weird? The Task Property window shows you properties of the task. The Enumerator has proeprties all of its own. They're not the same thing.
Yeah, your answer was just right, but i was able to find it by myself just a minute before you published your answer. Thanks anyway.
Is there a way to dynamically choose the most recent file in a directory using an expression on the connection string of a flat file source? We receive a file download from a customer on a daily basis. The file always begins with down_%%%%%%.csv. The percent signs are dynamic. We need to hang on to the history so I don't want to delete the files. I could move them to a archive directory but thought it would be nice to just select the newest file. Any directions I could investigate?
No, there's no way to do this using an expression. You'll probably have to do something funky with a script task to get the most recent file.
Got a question on the ForEach Loop container. I am trying to loop over a set of .mdb files and import them into a SQL 2005 database. If in the course of uploading the file an error occurs (such as an incorrect structured .mdb file), I want to move the offending file to a "bad file" folder and continue processing the next file in line.
I am able to successfully have the file moved to the "bad file" folder, however the package dies with an error and it does not move to the next file. If I execute the package again, the remaining files are successfully processed.
How can I configur the package to continue processing the remaing files without abending?
Thanks for your help,
Try changing FailParentOnFailure property.
Thanks for the quick response. I already have both FailParentOnFailure and FailPackageOnFailure set to False, however the package still fails. Any ideas?
I'm in a similar boat, please may I explain.
I have a Foreach Loop that loops through a set of files. The first thing I do is check the header of the file using a Script Task. If the header is wrong I throw and catch an exception and use Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure in my catch block. This fails the entire Foreach Loop does not process the rest of my files.
I would like to know if there is a way you can move to the next file pragmatically in a Script Task.
This may have already been discovered but if you want the loop to continue, even if a task within the loop fails then set the MaximumErrorCount to be, say, 100 in the ForEach Loop
I can see how this works with flat files (TXT) but how do you make it work with XLS files. I really need to enumerate through a set of XLS files in a directory, open them, and import data from them.
This is a very interesting blog!
Is there anyway to read the last modified date of a file in a folder using SSIS?
Hi Finoa,
There is no task that will do it. I've asked for an enhancement to the FileSystem Task that will allow it but its not going to happen any time soon.
You'll have to resort to the script task.
anyone know how to get this to work for excel. i've tried using the related ms article...
, but ofcoarse it doesn't work :(
tried that article too ,didnt work for me :-(
I've got a question regarding this bloody container. I have created a simple SSIS package that uses the foreach loop. I have another .NET application which runs the SSIS package programmatically. If I run the package within the application thread, the foreach loop does not work. To get it to work, I have to start a new thread and then run the package. This took me a few hours to figure out and I'm now bald. Have you come across this at all?
Hi Gary,
No, that's news to me. I'll try and investigate.
I don't think I've seen this behavior before, but I've seen strange things happen if the .NET application is run STA instead of MTA. I have a blog post about it here:
If the app is STA, which I believe is the default for .NET apps, then try switching it to MTAThread.
Matt Masson, a.ka. genius, you are now officially my hero. If only I found this out this morning, it would have saved a lot of headbanging and cursing. I even invented some new swear words!! Cheers mate, much appreciated.
Dare I mention that no one would EVER steal your camera at a Manowar festival?
Hi there,
I've added your package but I'm struggling with the Property Expressions Editor.
Although the package runs ok, when I go to the Foreach Loop Container's Expressions, there's no ConnectionString available there (only DelayValidation, Description, Disable, etc)
What am I doing wrong????
Hello Josef,
In the example above the ConnectionString property is a property of the Flat File Connection Manager.
Thanks a bunch. Did you learn this from somewhere in particular? I'm finding I'm learning SSIS through trial and error and from other people. I'm wondering where to go to a) get good documentation on the tool b) fully exploit the capabilities of SSIS.
This is a real noobie question but if I'm putting the path/filename into a variable:
And using an Execute SQL task inside the loop that executes a stored proc:
What syntax do I use inside the SQL Statment box in the Execute SQL Task?
Joe B
I'm a bit confused. You have enumerated the filename of a file into a variable (that bit I get).
I don't understand the relevance this has to calling a stored procedure.
Could you elaborate?
Excuse my nobbieness here. I've done a lot with SQL and am now trying to apply it to SSIS so here goes.
I have a SP which is called Process_Raw. It takes as a single parameter a path to a file. It reads EDI data from a file and breaks it into columns. That part works fine. We'd like to automate it so that as files appear in a directory they get run through the SP and then moved to another archive folder. I've put an Execute SQL Task inside a ForEach container and have pointed the container to the folder location where the files arrive. Since we don't know exactly when or how many of the files will arrive we want to setup a SSIS package to run each hour from midnight until 3 AM. Inside the ForEach container I have defined a variable User::Filename which I assume will contain the path and filename for each file found in the source folder. I'd like to run the SP on each file (takes under 10 seconds for each file) and then moved the file to another folder.
Does all that make sense???? BTW, THANKS for the response!!!
OK, I get it now.
So the question is, "how do I pass a string value, that is stored in a variable, as a paramemter in a stored procedure?' Correct?
I think the answer is here: http://www.sqlis.com/58.aspx
In the "Usage Examples" section of that article you can see various examples of passing parameters. You do it via the 'arameter Mapping' tab.
Thanks Jaime. I'll take a look!
That did it!
Thanks again Jaime
Someone above asked this, but I didn't see it addressed. I don't want to hard code the directory path that holds the files, I would rather set it to a variable. I don't see an easy way to handle that. Any ideas?
Check this out:
Expressions on ForEach enumerators
[3rd time I've been asked this in 2 days. Weird!!! :) ]
Awesome, thanks! I saw the Expressions, but didn't understand how to use it. Thanks for the info.
Im using the for each file enumerator, and also the expressions for a dynamic directory and everything works, although for some reason when running from SQL as a package it takes around 2mins to find the one file in the directroy, whereas in the SSIS IDE its pretty much instant, any ideas???
Mine is a very basic package that pulls data from a UTF-8 encoded source file into the SQL Server 2005 database.
a) This file is Message Tracking Log file from MS Exchange Server - The first data row in this file starts at 5th row of the file and the fourth row of this file has column header information which is prefixed with a string '#Fields:'
b) The data is available in 21 columns, delimited by a comma (,).
c) Out of these 21 columns I need to pull all the data under only 10 columns (not consecutive).
Scene 1:
a) I created required connection managers for - i) Flat source file, and ii) OLE DB destination table
b) The Data Flow Task (in control flow) comprises of following components to be executed
- Flat File Source, here I have selected only required 10 columns and unchecked rest of the columns
- Data conversion, which converts data from non-unicode format (UTF-8) to Unicode format
- OLE DB destination, which essentially is a database table with 10 columns (given same names as in source file, to avoid any confusion). Here the chosen data from desired columns is finally loaded correctly.
Everything working fine till now, task gets executed and the required data is pulled through to the database.
Scene 2:
a) Added a For Each Loop container around the task created
b) Added the variable for file location and file name
c) Task still gets executed with enumerator picking all files placed at the specified location
d) Data gets loaded in the database table under 10 (desired) columns.
Issue: Data from source file is picked up from first 10 consecutive columns instead of desired columns chosen in the Flat File Source Data Flow component.
My understanding on this error: is that because the task picks source file based on the variable with source file location and the data column details cannot be manipulated in the connection manager, thus the problem.
Can someone else understand and help me on this?
Please ask if you need more details. Though I have tried to explain my question elaborately, it might still be bit ambiguous given my level of experience with the tool (SSIS) and jargons used.
I am trying to utilize this example but I keep receiving an error:
Warning: The For Each File enumerator is empty. The For Each File enumerator did not find any files that matched the file pattern, or the specified directory was empty.
