The SQLCAT team gives some good metrics on what kind of performance improvement you can expect when you split your TempDB into different secondary data files (.NDF), and shows the differences when you increase the number of disks you spread the NDF files over. Very cool!
Note that this applies as much to your on-prem virtual machines as it does to Azure.
Passing this along from the PASS newsletter:
SQL Server MVP Kevin Kline discusses the most common problems facing IT teams who focus their performance troubleshooting activities solely on wait statistics. This can serve as a useful and effective template for performance troubleshooting which you will be able to use over and over again whenever SQL Server performance is called into question. Read the latest whitepaper by our Global Alliance Partner, SQL Sentry, along with other whitepapers by our other Global Alliance Partners, here.
Note that this is kind of an advertisement (for SQLSentry's Performance Advisor), but there's a ton of useful info in there. I don't mind plugging a product if it will make a DBA's life easier.
Last week I attended the PASS Summit 2014 conference in Seattle. I must say it was an amazing experience, way better than any previous conference I had attended. I'll write more about it later, but I wanted to talk a little about something I noticed every time I mentioned I worked with SharePoint. Here are the most common responses from every DBA I met:
And so on. I mean, it's one thing to be hatin' on Microsoft for writing complex software, but these DBAs clearly thought of SharePoint as the enemy and something that needed to be destroyed. Not one considered it useful. If it was in their environment it was a burden they were shouldered with. Even one of the speakers, who had written a book on PowerPivot that included several chapters on SharePoint, couldn't really bring himself to endorse it.
First, there's the common complaint about SharePoint, that it's just a glorified file share, something no one really knows how to use and just complicates the process of document management. One guy talked about how his company keeps reinstalling SharePoint every year, trying to get it right, and that consultants are making a fortune every time they're brought in. These are pretty common complaints actually, which are the result of people deploying SharePoint without any user buy-in or a real objective. Or, as one customer put it, "SharePoint's a solution in search of a problem."
The SharePoint workload has some unique requiments, in terms of security and configuration. For example, SharePoint 2013 requires that MAXDOP be set to 1 at the Instance level. MAXDOP (Maximum Degree of Parallelism) pertains to how many threads a single query can use, and SharePoint is designed to expect every process to be single-threaded (MS Dynamics has the same requirement). This makes a DBA's head explode, because MAXDOP (in its default configuration) is usually a good way to scale performance.
You could certainly set up SharePoint share a SQL instance with other databases, and I've found it to be a good neighbor, but you might find that its workload dominates other databases and tends to pound on TempDB.
Next, DBAs complain about the myriad databases used by SharePoint. They are closed off: Microsoft says you can't modify these or even directly query them (I'll get into why in a minute). You can't create indexes or even do defrag/rebuilds. How is a DBA supposed to be able to maintain a database if they can't even optimize performance? So if SharePoint is slow (and it is) then they can only get blamed for it, with no way to solve the problem.
Why is SharePoint such a closed system? It comes down to the fact that most of the configuration is contained in content and config databases, coordinated via timer jobs. If you make a direct change to a table or row without using the SharePoint API (or PowerShell), you have a chance of corrupting services or data. Compare this to editing the Registry. For most people, the "Keep Out" sign is for their own protection, and for good reason.
Also, a SharePoint content database has a somewhat, shall we say, cryptic design. All documents are stored as BLOBs. In a single site collection, all document libraries and lists use just one table to store all content. This means if you run a SELECT statement on the wrong table, you can end up locking an entire site collection. It leaves one scratching their head as to why the SharePoint team designed it this way, because it becomes a limiting factor for performance and scale. Although querying content directly can be useful, it's not supported.
Lastly DBAs complain that you can't even tune indexes in SP databases. That's not strictly true (you're not blocked from doing it) but SharePoint has its own timer jobs that do the same thing, and they might undo or repeat some of your work. You're also told to not auto-enable statistics for the same reason, because SharePoint likes to maintain its own execution plans.
I got into SQL Server way before SharePoint was a thing. I developed my own applications (in VB6) and I was responsible for everything, from the controls on the form to the triggers / sprocs behind every event and action. Every time I started a new app, I had to reinvent the wheel again, even if I developed reusable classes. I had to design everything, which turned a simple assignment into a complex task. (Note: I was never a very good developer, but then again I was self-taught and worked alone).
When SharePoint came along it wasn't exactly revolutionary but I saw a lot of potential, even in the 2001 version. You could create code-free solutions that ran on top of the SharePoint platform. You didn't have to reinvent the wheel. You could focus on solutions and not framework.
SharePoint is a platform that allows you to build your own solutions, often without invoving IT, programmers, and yes, even DBAs. It's designed to empower users. I will be the first to admit that the layers below the surface are pretty ugly, but I think the end result is a valuable product. Microsoft sure seems to think SharePoint is the cornerstone of their Office suite, and it's only going to keep growing. As a consultant I can't ignore that.
You've been hearing about this newfangled craze, and it's time to learn exactly why it's called POWERshell. You'll want to take notes, or better yet, bring your laptop and start using Powershell immediately. We will get Posh running and then I'll introduce you to the basic concepts, with examples to make things happen right away. We'll work on SQL Server with Powershell, and learn some cool techniques. Come see this all-demo, hands-on session!

DBAs know that SharePoint just doesn't play nice with SQL Server. SharePoint administrators know that DBAs just don't understand SharePoint. This session will show hands-on how to get a SQL Server instance set up more effectively for SharePoint 2013. It's not black magic and it doesn't involve undocumented trace flags. Maybe DBAs and SharePoint admins can't get along, but at least you'll be able to cooperate after this session.
[Note: Sven will also be presenting this topic to the Alaska SharePoint User Group on 10-23-14].
Speaker: Sven Aelterman I am a Lecturer in Information Systems at Troy University's Sorrell College of Business in Troy, Alabama, USA.

If you have ever had a Kerberos or SSPI context error, then you won't want to miss this session. SQL Server has a large surface area and Active Directory can influence a big part of it. I will discuss AD DNS configuration, Group Policy Objects, Kerberos (of course), and how all of them affect your SQL Server. By the end of the session you'll have a check list of things to discuss with your domain administrator when you return to work.

Good morning, Netizens…
If you are not already tired of reading about Michael Jackson, perhaps David Horsey's cartoon this morning will suggest new directions in which to vent your spleen. Just why did Alaska's governor, Sarah (the Diva) Palin quit? Boy, that seems like a good way to get the day rumbling off in unpredictable directions to me. Here are some of the ideas that have sprung to mind:
She already needs a new wardrobe. No hundred-thousand dollar shopping sprees while she is governor, nope. She has to have the assistance of the Republican National Party for those kinds of expense accounts. That may come later on.
She wants to replace either Rush or Hannity as the acknowledged leader of the Republican right-wing news media with her new talk show to be called "Sarah Palin Rambles".
Her stud muffin husband Todd says, although fishing has been good this year, why don't we have another baby? As ridiculous as that might seem, I wouldn't put it beyond either of them. After all, they have good health insurance for the moment.
As soon as Governor Palin gets out of being the Governor of Alaska, perhaps she will just settle beneath the news media radar screens in Wasilla, Alaska, maybe read a few good books, do a little fishing, some hunting, or maybe even write a few books, other than the one she is ostensibly working on now.
Last but far from least, she might even start her Presidential aspirations.
So what do you think Sarah Palin will do once she is no longer the Governor of Alaska? Do you have any juicy theories you'd like to share?

You can also make your own business cards but if you want fancy coloring and such you might be better off having them done professionally. I believe most of the major supply stores do make them.
You can also make your own business cards but if you want fancy coloring and such you might be better off having them done professionally. I believe most of the major supply stores do make them.
ETA: Sorry, didn't see Archie's reply before I posted. If you want help with the business card let me know misskitty. I'm pretty adept at that stuff.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.
There's also a place online called Vistaprint (add the "dot com" after the word and it'll take you to the web site--I don't know if we're allowed to post web sites like that here) where you can get free business cards made up --something like 250 cards and you pay nothing except shipping and handling (about $5 or $6). The bad thing about these cards is there's a little writing on the back that says it was printed by the company. You have to pay a little extra if you don't want the back to say this. I've used these in the past and they were fine.
Hope this helped!
Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. I do have avery labels and my older sinister did a template somewhere. However, my printer is done broke. It no worky. Ink jets all gummed up. I need a new one. So that's why I was thinking of getting them done quickly somewhere.
I may head out to Staples and see what they offer. Business cards aren't really necessary. It's just that I find I'm writing down my e-mail and phone and such on little pieces of paper and it drives me nuts.
...and GUESS WHAT? My evil twin sinister just called and is taking me up on helping me find a new dishwasher! She must be super-bored!
Or maybe it's a full mooon.... OOOOOOOooooooooo

Get a Newf, and you'll always have a reliable dish washer....and GUESS WHAT? My evil twin sinister just called and is taking me up on helping me find a new dishwasher! She must be super-bored!

Okay, Slight change of subject here, but I didn't wanna threadjack the "Good News" thread......
I just read about Gracie becoming a Grandma (Yay Gracie!) and it brought to mind something that I have been seeing more and more often than not lately. Almost all of my friends mom's have been insisting on NOT being referred to as "Grandma", or anything resembling it. They have all been coming up with names that have no "Grand" in them- like "Coco", etc. What do y'all think of that? I personally can't WAIT to be called Grandma! I think that it is ridiculous to resent being called Grandma or Nana when, in fact, you ARE a Grandma! How can people consider that as being a negative thing? Botox to "hide" your true age is one thing, but to balk at the term Grandma because it makes you feel old seems a little self-absorbed to me.

About the Designer
Marco Piva Italy (1952 - 2001)
Exciting, fluid, functional. This is the language that distinguishes Marco Piva's architectural creations, product design and interior design. He received his degree from the Politecnico di Milano in 1977. The value of differentiation and design innovation led to the founding of Studiodada Associati in 1978, with creations that became some of the most symbolic representations of the Radical Design period. Wonder and research are transferred from micro - contexts to a scale of macro - projects. In 1984 Studio Marco Piva was opened, with activities ranging from large architectural projects to interior design and finally industrial design. From 1987 to 1990 he is a member of the Presidential Board of ADI. In 1987 Marco Piva also founded IDA, International Design Agency, then from 1988 to 1991 he created EDEA, European Design Expert Association. In 2002 Atelier Design was established, the Studio's atelier which was created as a centre for industrial design research and development. Since 1999 this remarkable activity has been combined with teaching positions at universities and design institutes both in Italy and abroad.

Editors are faced with not only a demanding and ever-expanding list of must-have skill sets, but also a change in mindset. Two of the smartest editors weŌĆÖve spoken to over the last yearŌĆöone from the consumer side, one from b-to-bŌĆötalk about what theyŌĆÖll be looking for in editorial talent over the next few years.
Alfred Edmond, Editor-in-Chief, Black Enterprise
ŌĆ£At least three skills will be key across the board for people in editorial. First, weŌĆÖll need to be better than ever at spotting and developing talent, especially people with the right attitude and degree of intelligence and flexibility.┬Ā Print journalists will end up needing to be able to help develop a television show, content for a Web site, podcasts and so on. We need to hire people who are not only technically skilled and talented but people who are coachable, not stuck in what they were doing before but with an attitude that will allow them to adapt to something totally different.
Second, because weŌĆÖre asked to do more with the same resources, it will be increasingly important for editors to have a general managerŌĆÖs mentality. ItŌĆÖs like if the owner of a professional sports team tells you to accomplish this and that but without increasing the salary cap.
The last thing that gets harder and harder to do in this world of so-called multimedia convergence is that somebody in the organization has to maintain the integrity of the content. Despite all the cross-pollination and multiple uses and repurposing of content, the consumer has to trust that someone is the guardian of the audience, saying that this information is credible.
Wyatt Kash, Editor-in-Chief, GCN ŌĆō Government Computer News
ŌĆ£There is a lot of pressure on editors and journalists to begin developing and delivering stories as a multi-media package for the web.┬Ā But in practice, the tools to edit and produce those packages require a lot more training and resources than most publishing houses are willing to support.┬Ā ThereŌĆÖs a reason we donŌĆÖt ask our writers to learn Quark or HTMLŌĆöthose skills are important in the production stage.┬Ā But when it comes to generating original or value-added content, IŌĆÖd rather our writers commit their time and our resources to developing relationships with sources and honing their journalism and writing skills than learning how to put a Podcast together.
ŌĆ£With that said, I think our writers and editors absolutely need to keep abreast of the rapidly changing nature of information on the Internet.┬Ā They need to understand not only how information is being gathered, assembled and presented in new ways online, but also realize that those changes are impacting our readersŌĆÖ experiences and expectations.┬Ā So the skills that will be important for me to see as I recruit talent will be the ability to use emerging online research, networking, and collaboration tools online as well as the ability to get answers to frank questions in person from the right sources in our market.ŌĆØ
Paradoxically, the magazine industry is obsessed with online media. Advertisers are flooding the online channels, with some publishers telling me they can't create e-media channels fast enough to sell.
Even in my market, where we cover the magazine industry, the growth of advertising online is so significant that it will rival the size of the monthly print magazine in the not-too-distant-future.
That obsession, then, is not all that surprising. In fact, I have in the past predicted that print-weeklies on the b-to-b side are dinosaurs. Especially in the IT space, there is a lot of evidence to support this. Overall advertising spending in the big IT weeklies has declined dramatically-fallen off a cliff-in the last several years. Some of them are barely hanging on.
So why is it that over the last couple of days I'm rethinking this area anew? Several reasons. First, I've never been an online true believer. I've never concluded (unlike many others) that print media is in an inexorable decline and has in some served markets become an impediment, not part of the solution.
Second, I've had some really interesting conversations recently on exactly this topic. First, Ted Bahr of BZ Media and I had a conversation about print at the U.S. Open this month, and while he noted the decline of the IT weeklies, he also said that his audience-both advertisers and readers-like his print magazine for software developers.
Maybe even more interestingly, he noted that his an all other magazines he knows of don't have any falloff in print subscriptions-direct-request is not declining, renewals are not falling off, nor are they more costly to acquire. (Things are a bit different on the consumer side, but not all that different.)
So there is no decline in reader interest in print, even as advertisers seemingly begin to write it off.
Then I had a conversation with IDG's Bob Carrigan the other day where he emphatically stated that the solution to the decline in advertising in print weeklies is not to reduce the frequency. He said the nature of buying in the weeklies is such that a reduction in frequency would essentially mean one-quarter of the spend, because the marketers would not end up bulking up on a single monthly, say. So print, even in decline, somehow stays vital.
And then today in a Folio: and CM Webinar on lead generation, I heard the case made in a compelling way to integrate print into lead generation in a way that is very different from the old bingo card approach and much closer to the online lead-generation methods. This is big, in my opinion, because when you tie print to online media, the sum is far better than the individual parts.More...
The New York Times today announced that it will drop its paid online subscription program, TimesSelect, effectively admitting its two-year attempt to charge its Web site users to access premium content and archives had failed.
TimesSelect, which charged $49.95 per year ($7.95 a month) for access to its columnists and the newspaper's archives, drew an estimated 227,000 paid subscribers and $10 million in annual revenue. Beginning at midnight, the newspaper will open up access to its entire site to readers. So what
changed?Many more readers started coming to the site from search engines and links on other sites instead of coming directly to NYTimes.com. These indirect readers, unable to get access to articles behind the pay wall and less likely to pay subscription fees than the more loyal direct users, were seen as opportunities for more page views and increased advertising revenue.
According to Nielsen/NetRatings, NYTimes.com traffic sees roughly 13 million unique visitors each month, and could explode without a wall, according to industry observers. The crumbling of the Times subscription modelleaves the Wall Street Journal as only major newspaper in the country to charge for access to most of its Web site, generating $65 million in revenue, according to the Times.
So what does this mean for magazine publishers? Consumer Reports, one of the few remaining magazines to charge for access to its site, is nearing three million paid subscribers to its Web site. (Most subscriptions cost $26/year.)
But for most consumer magazines, the free model dominates the industry. Why? Because it comes down to readers - which is why magazine industry consultant Bob Sacks likes the Times move.
"They are thinking long term and this move will continue to protect and promote the Times brand, and at the same time cultivate new readership," Sacks wrote in an e-mail. "After all sustained loyal readership is the bedrock of any publishing empire, be it large or small. If you don't have readers, exactly what do you have?"More...
JANE PRATT: Tell me about the new record.
MICHAEL STIPE:┬Ā There's two of them. We're putting out our first live record, which comes out in mid-October. Our first ever live release, it's a DVD so it's a feature length film that was shot 2 years ago. That comes out in October, and I am going over to Europe to do press for that. But then I'm working on the new album that comes out in March probably.┬Ā And ... the band, it's been a really tough ten years for us.┬Ā We at times, we're not communicating on the level that we should have been and we were trying to keep a real brave face publicly, and kind of hold through it, but I have to say I think we finally found a place of communication. We're talking to each other, we've written a bunch of great songs, we've recorded 14, I've written 14,┬Ā I've got another 4 songs to present to the guys next week when we go back in the studio and one of those is really going to surprise them.┬Ā I can't wait to see them.
As far as her rumored magazine project with Gwen Stefani, well, Pratt didn't return an e-mail seeking comment. But she recently gave Time Out New York something of a non-confirmation confirmation:
TONY: That is so Jane. Do you miss print?
Jane Pratt: No, but I can't talk about it.
TONY: Because you're starting a new magazine with Gwen Stefani?
Pratt: I'm not allowed to say! You can speculate if you want. I feel like I am working in print now.
Phil Rosenthal at the Chicago Tribune reports that The Economist is beginning a $1 million marketing push to boost readership in
Be ready to dig in, however. This is no magazine for the time-sensitive. Editor-in-chief John Micklethwait wants you to work for your new global perspective: "You turn on your television anywhere now, you get so much pap that what I think people want is substance. We're going to make them think. There's no great theme behind it. We just follow the things we think are interesting. ... It is a part of the market that not everybody is in. But we've found the top of the market is bigger than other people thought."
The pap he refers to? "We have sadly undercovered Britney Spears," says Micklethwait.┬Ā┬Ā
There's a pretty vocal segment of the publishing industry that says production technology has advanced to the point where problems such as color consistency, fonts and high res/low res shouldn't exist. Time Inc. maintains they don't experience any of the common problems associated with file management. Influential production consultant Bo Sacks has previously written, "Quality control has been reduced to a logarithmic equation. You can take the subjective out of the press. It not only can be done, it already has been done. Wake up and move on to more important issues."
Still, while the technological advancement is acknowledged, problems continue to exist with standards and human implementation of the technology. And perhaps an even bigger problem is the erosion of actual production knowledge, according to Biagio Lubrano, quality control manager at Conde Nast. While printers are being squeezed on costs by publishers, Lubrano contends that many are using new technology as an excuse to replace personnel-often the same personnel that knew how to rectify problems that a machine couldn't. "[The technology] has been oversold," says Lubrano. "The technology lets things go to the last minute, and that's creating more room for mistakes. There have been so many cuts that you're down to the raw mechanics of a specific task. The good knowledge of the task is gone. All the old craftsman are gone. Schools are putting out Web designers not page designers. Printers are buying technology to eliminate people. There's no training programs and printers are not teaching the basics. Technology will replace the knowledge and the loser is the customer."
Agree? Disagree? Lubrano will be one of the featured speakers at the Folio: Show on a panel called "The Road to Print Manufacturing Predictability" on Monday, Sept. 24, at 10:15am.More...
Here's some news every publisher in America can relate to:
[Forbes,] the family controlled publishing company that last year sold a big minority stake - reputed to be as much as 40 percent for $300 million - has now sold off its two corporate helicopters. The flying machines include a Bell JetRanger, a nifty little four-seater that used to be perched atop the Forbes yacht the Highlander, and a larger Apache-type chopper used for long-range commuting by the corporate brass and guests.
"Forbes did sell the two 20-year-old aircraft," a spokeswoman confirmed. "We are planning on buying a new Bell JetRanger for the Highlander as soon as the boat heads south this winter."
This news comes on the heels of last week's devastating revelation that the annual twilight cruise for media and Forbes staffers around New York harbor aboard the family's yacht would be cut from this year's budget.
Bad timing. EMap, the U.K.-based publisher of FHM, is reportedly having no trouble attracting suitors for its on-the-block company -- it's the topless teens that are posing a problem. According to a report in the Media Guardian, FHM has come under fire from England's Press Complaints Commission after the magazine published a topless photo of a 14-year-old girl without her consent.
The photograph appeared in FHM's April 2007 issue as part of a gallery of mobile phone snapshots. FHM said it receives roughly 1,200 photos of women either topless or wearing lingerie for publication each week, adding that it was "extremely surprised" to learn that the girl was 14 "as she certainly appeared to be older." According to the commission, FHM "should have been much quicker to [recognize] the damage that publication would have caused the girl, and offered to publish an apology or take other steps to remedy the situation to the satisfaction of the complainant. Failure to respond in a swift and proportionate manner aggravated what was a significant breach of the code."
The magazine offered an apology and vowed not to republish the image.
This is not the first time the FHM brand has had trouble handling teen girls. The now-shuttered U.S. version of the magazine ran into trouble with liquor advertisers when it decided to put Brooke Hogan -- the Hulkster's underage daughter -- on its November 2005 cover. That same year, New York's Hudson News censored five consecutive months of FHM displays for what it deemed were inappropriate covers.More...
There was a time in the summer of 2006 when Folio: ran an article about ABC's new rules for Verified Circulation, and, because of a last-minute change in the map, an ABC ad fell right next to the ABC story. It was my responsibility to catch the unfortunate juxtaposition, and I didn't.
Then in Circulation Management last year, we ran a story about fulfillment services from outsource providers. A couple of months before that, I had lunch with the president of one of the fulfillment companies, who asked me to use him as a source-where appropriate. No pressure, no questionable suggestions of quid pro quo. Fine. So I passed that info on to the edit team, and said use him where appropriate and without any consideration of advertising.
Of course, the best intentions sometimes go awry, and again because of a map change (and the ad side not following closely enough what was happening on the edit pages) we ended up running a photo of the guy on an edit page across from his ad. Not good, and I heard about it from the company's competition.
I bring these anecdotes up simply to point out that this stuff happens inadvertently sometimes, but even then-as I tell our editors-even then, perceptions get formed and reputations get damaged, sometimes permanently.
You have to be both clean and buttoned up.
Which is why it disturbs me when I see others in our market do this so blatantly and so consistently. You can only make so many inadvertent mistakes. You can only give so many mulligans. When you see ads for products followed by stories whose headlines explicitly reference the exact name of the product in the ad, that's bad. When you see photos of suppliers appearing in stories built to please suppliers (not readers)-and those photos are next to the supplier's ad-and this happens consistently, that's bad. When stories fill the book issue after issue that are "ad traps," not valuable information for the reader, that's bad. When the owner of the cover-2 ad spread also has an editorial column on the back page, that's bad. And all this is widespread not just in my market but throughout b-to-b. (Consumer magazines are also frequent ad-edit ethics violators as well, so my intention is not to accuse just one sector here. B-to-b happens to be the subject of this post, that's all.)
Back to my market. I don't like to throw stones. And I'm obviously biased, as a competitor. And even though those kinds of shenanigans work in my favor in the competitive sense, I can tell you it makes me mad as anything as a reader that I'm treated in a disrespectful manner.More...
As we scoured the Internet this week for news about the unfortunate shuttering of Time Inc.'s Business 2.0, we came across a blog post recalling the similar demise of tech mag the Industry Standard six years ago.
In the post, Eric Savitz-a former Standard writer-indicates that the magazine for a time attempted to maintain an online presence after the print version died and points readers to the thestandard.com. All that's there is a dark grey logo on a black screen, and the words: "coming back..." (It's almost like when you go to your favorite restaurant for dinner and you find the doors are locked and the lights are out. In the window, there's a sign that says the restaurant is closed temporarily for renovations. It never reopens.)
But what if the Industry Standard were to relaunch solely online? And why not? Magazines are launching only online without an established brand. That'd be one leg up for the Standard.More...
Keith Kelly at The New York Post reports that news mag U.S. News and World Report will be increasing its frequency of ŌĆśBest Of' issues-stretching, for example, ŌĆśBest Hospitals' to ŌĆśBest Kids Hospitals' for the September 3 issue.
Kelly notes that a source concedes the magazine is "effectively tossing in the towel on any plan to try to compete with Time and Newsweek on news."
U.S. News president Bill Holiber told Folio: basically the same thing two years ago when it announced a strategic shift away from print to focus more on its Web business, essentially letting Time and Newsweek fight over the mass newsweekly market themselves:
"At times it may come across as being not the most exciting product, but it's a very well-thought-out, information-driven product. As we move in this direction, I think you'll see more information on the page. I think Time and Newsweek are battling it out, trying to be all things to all people. They want to be big-very, very big. We've found there's a certain type of consumer we attract, and that's who we're focusing on: "Give me the facts, I'll decide."
And, after all, that might not be such a bad thing, and maybe Time and Newsweek should consider competing with U.S. News as it embarks on its new content mission, since the newsweeklies are constantly fending off the ŌĆśnews-as-commodity' specter. Kelly reports that the magazine will be publishing product-oriented ŌĆśBest of' issues; a ŌĆśBest Cars' issue is in the works. "We'll probably look at consumer products," editor Brian Kelly told the other Kelly. Look out Consumer Reports.More...
File under sadistically cool: Consumer Reports has partnered with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to launch a section of its Web site devoted to crash test videos. Searchable footage of some 200 vehicles tested at the iInstitute's Ruckersville, Virginia testing center can be found at consumerreports.org/crashtest, and the magazine has plans to add more as more vehicles are crash-tested.
Consumer Reports, by the way, is closing in on 3,000,000 paid online subscriptions. As in, people pay money to research what they're about to lose money on.
Luckily for us, the crash footage is free to non-subscribers.More...

Does the Shuffling Cast of Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' Signal Chaos on Set?Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on May 10, 2012 | Comments (2)
Right from its very beginning, Quentin Tarantino's upcoming spaghetti Western wannabe Django Unchained was a project whose casting rumors involved far more actors than could have actually been included in its cast. In addition to names being thrown around that just turned out to be wishful thinking, actors like Jonah Hill and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were said to be close to taking roles in the film, but ultimately never signed up due to scheduling conflicts. Even Kevin Costner, who had signed on to play the role of Ace Woody, eventually had to be replaced by Kurt Russell because of scheduling issues. What's the deal with all of these scheduling issues? What does Tarantino have going on out there in the desert? There may be no hard and fast answers to that question coming, but what is clear is that, even though shooting on the film has commenced, two more names have now dropped out of the cast. The Film Stage brought to our attention that, during an appearance on Howard Stern, Sacha Baron Cohen announced that he wouldn't be able to make his planned appearance in the film due to promotional commitments for The Dictator. Soon after, Variety's Jeff Sneider broke the news on Twitter that Kurt Russell had also left the cast.

It might be a bold claim, but not only do I think the remake shouldn't be made, I don't think it can be made, and I doubt that it ever will. I also think it already has – how's that for mind boggling?

|ESPN.com: New England Patriots

"Yes, the glass-half-empty argument is obvious. The offense is inconsistent and seems to tighten up at key times. The defense in the fourth quarter is painful to watch. The secondary is at times atrocious. We can't seem to make adjustments. We don't get a consistent pash rush (sound familiar). Game coaching has been a bit "off" this year. Some players (e.g. Ras-I Dowling) have not developed. Aside from Devin McCourty's return, not real explosive in the kicking game.
"But the glass-half-full viewpoint is stronger and it revolves around the basic belief that this team will improve. First, I believe the injuries have really hurt our pass defense. Both starting safeties have beenĀout our last two fourth quarters. Very, very young in the secondary. When the safeties come back, I think our defense will improve dramatically, particularly in the fourth quarter. In the meantime, some younger players (Tavon Wilson, Alfonzo Dennard) are getting valuable time which will help quite a bit down the road. I think the pass rush will be OK. When Jermaine Cunningham moves inside I think it can be pretty good with Rob Ninkovich and Chandler Jones off the edges (although Jones needs to stop that long-step hesitation move and use his arms sooner in the rush!). ĀI think the defense will be better in the second half than the first half, I really do.
"On offense, we have proven to be both effective at running and passing (at times), which can serve us well. It's obvious to everyone that Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski are not 100 percentĀand hopefully they will get healthy. Brandon Lloyd has underperformed at best. The RB situation is very strong, particularly with a healthy Brandon Bolden. Our best o-lineman is hurt and our biggest concern going into the season, the tackle position, has really been a non-issue. I think our biggest issue on offense is being too "cute" and not imposing your will. ĀJust because the defense is daring you to pass doesn't mean you have too every time (e.g. Seattle).
"So overall I am excited to see this team improve as the season goes on, key guys get healthy, and younger players continue to develop."

Best beginner camera I hoped for
By Bell
from Undisclosed
This is called a beginners camera but I can't imagine anything better. Must get if you are just starting out like me!
Constantly freezes and has No, ZERO customer support.
By DogMom2
from Seattle, WA
Bought this for a gift on Father's Day. It froze up that afternoon and was returned to the retailer the next day. They said it was a faulty memory card and replaced it. It continued to freeze up. It was returned to the retailer 5 times before they said to send it back to Nikon. Nikon simply cleaned it and sent it back, saying that there was no problem. Granted, it may not have frozen for them, but the repeat history is conclusive. It needed to be replaced on day #1 and was not and now is but an expensive paperweight for it freezes too often to be trusted.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Wonderful beginner camera
By Kennith
from Tacoma, WA, USA
The quality of the pictures are excellent. Nice and clear, color is almost exact, it has great manual options that are easy to use, and is nice and light. The video however, is kind of difficult. It is nice and clear but almost every time I try and record something, it goes for about 5 seconds then says "Recording interrupted" and I have lost some good videos because of that. All that needs to change is the video problem, and the 55-200 kit coming in red.

Absolutely stunning photos, full HD video and very easy to use! After doing research for quite some time I decided on the D3200, glad I did....cant beat the price either.
Simple to use!

So Far, the D3200 works like a dream. Works equally well indoors or outdoors, day or night! It seems to be one terrific camera.
Great camera for the price!!!
By Matthewd
This camera is very nice. It comes with a very good beginner lens and has good quality. This camera also is very light weight for the size and is easy to learn. The instruction manual helps a lot for the basics but if you want to learn more you may want to take a class or watch a you tube video. I would definitely recommend this camera for a beginner photographer.

I bought it 4 months ago and change the small camera and my old film SLR... Now I have excellent pictures was taken with this camera, it's very easy to use and allows being creative. With a tripod, remote control and these basic lenses it's enough to start in this beautiful world of photography. But if you want to make more professional pictures in movement it's better to think to buy lenses with VR and now I bought a new lens with VR and the pictures in action are perfect. Good camera and good basic lenses by Nikkor. This is the cheapest bundle for to start with SLR cameras. Enjoy your pictures by NIKON.

Great features with limitations for the wildlife/landscape photographer.
By BillyG
from Riverside, CA, USA
I jusy purchased the camera today so I little to no experience with the camera. However I will comment on what I've Discovered so far. The requirement for the use of an eyepiece cap under the conditions specified indicates a faulty SLR design, not to mention the fact that it is very difficult to remove the eyepiece and insert the plug. I this will be especially cumbersome when shooting wildlife and to a lesser degree landscapes. I will however reserve my final evaluation until I've the opportunity to evaluate it in the field.

GHS, Buchholz do battle on behalf of food bank
Published: Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 7:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 10:12 p.m.
It was Gainesville High vs. Buchholz on Saturday — a longtime city rivalry that almost always has emotions running high.
But this battle was for a cause, and it paid dividends: 2,682 donated food items and $1,290 raised — all for the Bread of the Mighty Food Bank in Gainesville.
It was the inaugural Gainesville "Can Can" food drive competition, hosted by the two schools' student governments and held on the GHS campus.
GHS and Buchholz actually began the friendly competition in December and worked to collect as many food and dollar donations as they could. Saturday's Can-Can was the culminating event, one final push to get donations.
"We actually got the idea after the University of Florida's Freshman Leadership Council came to speak with our student government," said Lexi Ives, 17, a junior at Gainesville High School. "They gave us a lot of great ideas, and we came up with this one that would be fun to incorporate the rivalry, too."
The two high schools plan to make the food drive an annual event and were happy with the results from the first run.
Twelve businesses sponsored the two-month drive by donating food, providing food at Saturday's event or by donating gift cards redeemable at their businesses.
Stevie Faulk, 17, a junior at Buchholz, said the collective student governments were able to reach out to the list of business partners they consistently work with for similar events.
In the future, the food drive will start earlier in December to include more of the holiday season, said Linda Aubrey, director of student activities at GHS.
"We would like even more community involvement," Aubrey said.
Although no official prize was awarded to the winning school on Saturday, GHS got the unofficial bragging rights.
GHS won donated 1,419 non-perishable food items and gave $820 solely toward buying more food donations. Buchholz donated 1,263 items and gave $470.
"It was fun, and the students have learned a lot through the whole journey," Aubrey said. "One of the best aspects that was fun for the students is partnering up and working together. They saw they could make a difference."
