PASS Business Analytics Conference
December 22, 2014 – With a growing interest in and questions among community members about expanding into business analytics-related chapters and adding more local events such as BA SQLSaturdays, the PASS Board of Directors took up the discussion at our last meeting of 2014.
PASS is pursuing a variety of online offerings to serve business and data analytics professionals and is working with the Virtual Chapters that cover BA-related topics. We are also excited about the possibilities in growing our BA-related local activities and creating more in-person training and networking opportunities. But to make sure that we are serving the community in the best way, the Board agreed on our Thursday conference call to suspend such further expansion until we can develop and agree upon a plan for structuring and growing these new BA community groups and events. (Look for the official minutes of this meeting to be posted on the Governance page in January.)
While we work with community members on a strategy that will successfully move us forward in supporting business and data analytics professionals around the world, we ask that you hold off on any new local PASS-sponsored BA initiatives. We'll be looking for your ideas and feedback in the New Year – feel free to contact me any time if you have questions or comments – and please watch the PASS Blog and Community Connector for the latest updates.
Wishing all the #sqlfamily a safe and happy holiday season, – Denise McInerney PASS VP, Marketing
Oct. 31, 2014 – Two years ago, PASS began to expand our educational offerings to include a conference targeted to the business analytics community. This year, we've had more discussion within our community about what our business analytics strategy means for PASS.
Next week at Summit, we'll be holding a special PASS Business Analytics Direction and Q&A session. Throughout the week, members of the Board will also be available to listen to your feedback and answer your questions about our plans for BA. If you will be at Summit, I hope you will take some time to talk to me or other Board members about our BA initiatives.
One of the concerns I've heard expressed is that our expansion to serve the business analytics community could negatively affect how we serve our core SQL Server and BI members. I'd like to share with you how we are allocating resources to ensure that does not happen.
Business analytics is a natural extension of our core, data-centric SQL Server and business intelligence communities. We – the DBAs, database developers, data architects, and BI professionals – work with business and data analysts, data scientists, line-of-business managers, and others on the business side whose lives revolve around data every day. The business and data analysts are our colleagues, our clients, our customers.
PASS Summit has long been the main source of fundraising for PASS, funding the many other learning opportunities and programs we offer throughout the year. As PASS leaders saw the expanding attention to business analytics in the data industry, developing a focused conference and other learning opportunities for those working in the business analytics space made sense. This would both introduce an additional revenue stream to help secure the organization's future capability to better serve all our members and bring us in closer touch with a growing community of data professionals.
PASS's BA-related activities and budget were structured from the beginning to be fully self-funding, with no cross-funding or subsidization from PASS's SQL Server-related revenues. When PASS announced in July 2012 that it would be hosting the new PASS Business Analytics Conference in Spring 2013, the conference was projected to break even – we made a modest profit. To date, the net profit we've realized from our two BA Conference events has covered the cost of all of our other BA-related initiatives, including staff time to support new BA-related Virtual Chapters, 24 Hours of PASS: Business Analytics Edition, and other activities.
At the same time, our fiscal year 2015 budget supports continuing growth for our core SQLSaturday events and SQL Server and BI Chapters and Virtual Chapters around the world, an ever-growing PASS Summit, and continuing IT investments to modernize our platforms and take advantage of technology to enable a stronger, more connected PASS community.
The BA Conference and other BA offerings may not be taking funding from PASS's SQL Server activities, but do these expanded initiatives affect the energy and focus that PASS leaders, volunteers, and staff can bring to serving SQL Server and BI professionals?
Even before launching our BA activities, PASS has been mindful of making investments to support the growth we've seen in our local PASS Chapters, Virtual Chapters, SQLSaturday events, and overall SQL Server and BI membership rolls. We have expanded our Community, Project Management, Marketing, and IT teams and have a continued focus on growth – in terms of both quantity of chapters, services, and resources for the global SQL Server community as well as quality of training and networking opportunities. (See our FY2015 portfolio goals here.)
Judging from the energy, hard work, and creativity that's gone into next week's PASS Summit – which will feature the biggest program and the largest gathering of SQL Server and BI pros ever – our HQ and community teams are committed to serving the needs of our core members.
One of the strengths of PASS is that our membership is so diverse, made up of a variety of roles, interests, and talents. The PASS community is already the hub and connector for many different data communities – from 275+ local Chapters around the world to 27 language- and topic-focused Virtual Chapters to speaker and blogger communities and beyond. These communities serve different locales, different learning needs, different technology interests, and different career and professional growth goals – and each interacts with PASS in a different way. But they all come together under the PASS mission of empowering data professionals to connect, share, and learn.
The way that PASS invests in these different data communities shows that it can be AND rather than OR. With the passion and dedication of our members and volunteers, we can continue growing not only in breadth, but also in depth in the communities we already serve.
In the coming months, we'll publish more about our BA strategy and direction. And I hope you will bring your questions to the PASS Business Analytics Direction and Q&A session at Summit on Friday, Nov. 7, at 2:15pm in Room 307/308. I'll see you there. – Denise McInerney PASS VP, Marketing
Sept. 16, 2014 – With registration for PASS Business Analytics Conference 2015 opening early next week, I wanted to share some of the exciting new things we have in store for business and data analysts in April and throughout the coming year.
Who's the BA Conference For? The BA Conference is for those who work in business and data analytics using Excel and PowerBI, as well as other technologies such as SQL, Hive, and R.
Unlike other BA-related conferences, our BA Conference – true to PASS tradition – is focused on real-world training and connections designed to have an immediate and direct impact on attendees and their organizations.
As both our new BA and core SQL Server/BI communities continue to grow, we're seeing a greater demand for training and support specific to each group. While SQL Server and BI pros are typically architects, builders, and facilitators of data and analytics systems, business and data analysts extract data from these systems to gain insights and drive the decision making process. They are the data consumers – the customers, clients, and colleagues of PASS's DBA, developer, and BI community members.
This year, through the BA Conference (as well as upcoming webinars and analytics-focused content), we're answering the call to meet the unique needs of business and data analysts, who are asked to do more with data every day. Every BA Conference learning and networking experience will be concentrated on the BA perspective and focused on the skills, technologies, and methods they need to investigate business performance and influence business planning.
The Program PASS launched the BA Conference in 2013 to support our data colleagues on the business side, and since then we've been fine-tuning our session content, formats, and networking offerings. Next year's event takes that a step further with a program laser-focused to deliver practical, best-practices information, hands-on training, and visionary thought leadership.
Experienced business and data analytics professionals are in high demand and short supply. Leading organizations are looking for people with a unique combination of data technology skills, business knowledge, and analytical expertise – paired with strong professional skills – to drive decision making and core profitability.
Our BA Planning Committee has done an excellent job mirroring these requirements with an outline of classroom sessions, hands-on workshops, and expert panels organized into five real-world tracks. We'll be covering everything those in business and data analytics need to know about Excel, Power BI, SQL, R, Hive, Machine Learning, and more.
The Speakers As PASS works to grow and support our young BA community, we're also working to grow our pool of business and data analytics experts and speakers.
PASS is about community, and we believe that to serve and grow the BA community as part of PASS's expanding membership, we need to provide the best possible program and experience for our BA Conference attendees and future PASS members. We are fortunate to have seen such amazing growth and maturity in our speaker pool from PASS's traditional SQL Server/BI Pro membership, and we want the same level of excellence for our growing BA audience.
As we've refined our program approach and reviewed the feedback from previous years, it's become clear that we need to target the right mix of BA topics and expertise. So this year's conference speaker lineup will be comprised of a group of handpicked experts – an approach used by many conferences – to bring the highest quality experience to attendees; we will not be having an open call for speakers. Our goal is to accelerate our BA community-building efforts through this process. Identifying and growing knowledgeable and talented community contributors will allow us to integrate a community speaker component in next year's event while maintaining the level of excellence and real-world value that we are committed to for all our members and attendees.
I can't wait to share our program and speakers list for BA Conference 2015! Watch for the initial lineup in early November.
Following a Great Lead Founded in the database space, PASS was brought to life by passionate SQL Server pros with a vision to connect, share, and learn.
PASS is all about meeting the needs of data professionals, providing world-class training and thought leadership, and supporting and promoting a community of like-minded people. It's a great model to follow and a firm foundation for a growing conference and community that supports our Business Analytics brothers and sisters.
To all the SQL Server and BI community members who've paved the way, we ask for your help in reaching out to your business and data analytics colleagues, letting them know how important the PASS community has been in your own career, and encouraging them to check out the PASS BA Conference and our other BA offerings. We couldn't ask for better community evangelists! – Denise McInerney PASS VP, Marketing

January 15, 2014 – As a data engineer at her "day job," PASS VP of Marketing Denise McInerney has a special affection for business analytics. We caught up with her ahead of Feb. 5's 24 Hours of PASS: Business Analytics Edition to see what she's looking forward to at the free day of online business analytics learning.
Podcast: Listen to Denise talk more about business analytics, business intelligence, and PASS's upcoming training opportunities in this podcast interview with SearchSQLServer.com.
What is 24 Hours of PASS: Business Analytics Edition? 24 Hours of PASS: BA Edition (24HOP: BA) is a day of free, live, back-to-back webcasts on how to get the most from your data, presented by some of the most knowledgeable and top-rated speakers from the world of business analytics and business intelligence. This edition features 12 live sessions – each with its own Q&A segment – followed by 12 hours of on-demand replay in case you miss a session or want to rewatch your favorites.
Thanks to our sponsors – Microsoft, Cisco, Confio, Dell Software, and SQL Sentry – we're able to bring 24 Hours of PASS: BA edition to BA and BI professionals at no cost. In true PASS fashion, it's a great community event that brings data professionals from around the world together to connect, share, and learn.
In the week since registration opened, each 24 Hours of PASS: BA session already has at least 700 registrations. So we're looking forward to a blow-out event!
What will the sessions cover? The sessions will cover best practices and the latest tips on everything from data analytics and visualization, predictive analytics, and data science to Big Data and information delivery, strategies, and architecture. We have sessions on Excel 2013, Power BI and Power Query, the Enterprise Data Warehouse, Parallel Data Warehouse, querying in DAX, data visualizations in SQL Server Reporting Services, and more.
And whether you're a BA/BI novice or ready for advanced techniques, we have a session for you. I love it that we have "Predictive Analytics for Absolute Beginners" – our most popular session so far – as well as "Advanced Analytics in Excel 2013."
Who should attend? If you're passionate about business analytics, this event is for you: data and business analysts, data scientists, data architects, BI professionals, IT pros… Whether you're already working in analytics or looking to make a transition or just learn more about this fast-changing industry, you're going to come away with practical information that you can use right away for managing, analyzing, and sharing business information and insights.
What's your favorite part of 24 Hours of PASS? For the past 2 years, I've been responsible for PASS's online training opportunities as Director of Virtual Chapters and 24 Hours of PASS. And although as PASS VP of Marketing I'm no longer directly in charge of 24 Hours of PASS, I still feel a special connection to the event.
Since 2009, 24 Hours of PASS has grown into a well-known and well-loved event in the SQL Server community. And what's not to love? Excellent content from top experts in the field delivered directly to your computer – wherever you're located in the world – for free.
I'm thrilled that we've expanded this valuable training opportunity to BA and BI professionals. At last year's first 24HOP: BA event, we saw almost 30,000 registrations across 89 countries. It's just a fantastic complement to the free online learning that our Business Analytics, BI, Big Data and other Virtual Chapters provide throughout the year, as well as a great preview event in the lead-up to the upcoming PASS Business Analytics Conference in May.
What is 24HOP: BA's relationship to the PASS BA Conference? All 24HOP: BA speakers will also be delivering in-person sessions at the PASS BA Conference May 7-9 in San Jose, CA. So it's a nice sneak peek at the world-class business analytics sessions and speakers who will be on tap there. If you enjoy 24HOP: BA, you're going to love the BA Conference.
When is 24HOP: BA again? Please join us from the comfort of your office, home, or home office on Wednesday, Feb. 5, beginning at 8am PT (11am ET, 16:00 GMT) for a great day of business analytics learning. Tell your friends, and make sure you follow us on Twitter at @PASS24HOP / #pass24hop for all the latest updates.
How do you register? Seating in the virtual meeting room is limited, so you'll want to register now and make sure you're in the session early the day of the event. From the website, just select the individual sessions you want to register for – or like some die-hard attendees who attend them all, click "Select All" – and then click Register. You'll receive an email confirmation containing your meeting access links and can add the events to your calendar through the iCal links.
I'm looking forward to having as many business analytics professionals as possible join us for this great online event. Make sure you register today!
January 7, 2014 – 2013 was a wonderful year for PASS. We grew in service to data professionals around the world across many areas – adding 31 local PASS Chapters, six new Virtual Chapters, and the inaugural PASS Business Analytics Conference – and welcomed over 16,000 new members. With 2013 now in our rear-view mirror, it's time to look at what lies ahead for PASS.
Before we dive into the coming year, I want to thank Rushabh Mehta, Douglas McDowell, and Rob Farley for their many years of service to the PASS community as they leave the Board of Directors. Their hard work and dedication will be sorely missed.
Let's also take a moment to welcome the new Directors joining the Board for 2014-2015: Amy Lewis, Jen Stirrup, and Tim Ford. Amy will be taking over PASS Programs, Jen will lead Virtual Chapters, and Tim will be responsible for the SQLSaturday portfolio. You can read about all the Board portfolio assignments on the PASS blog.
As PASS continues to grow, the Board understands the need for Directors to shift away from their historical role as "doers" and toward setting direction through strategic thinking. We have been taking measured steps as part of this transition. And after the 2013 elections, I shared the vision that myself, Adam Jorgensen, and Denise McInerney have for PASS as your Executive Committee (ExeCo).
Vision statements are good, but actions are better. So to start, every Board member is outlining their portfolio tasks so that we make certain they roll up to our higher-level goals and that we hold each other accountable. In my years on the Board, we have had a lot of great ideas but struggled with follow-through and accountability. We are aiming to change that in 2014.
I've asked all Board members to submit their goals for 2014 before Jan. 13. The ExeCo will then review the goals before the Board's January in-person meeting and provide feedback about any tasks not aligned with the overall vision.
With your help – and the leadership of dedicated Board members – I'm looking forward to hitting the ground running this year.
Let's make 2014 a year to remember, together. –Thomas LaRock PASS President
October 11, 2013 – With the PASS Board of Directors elections completed and thousands of community members and volunteers gathering at PASS Summit 2013 in Charlotte next week, it's time to meet your Board portfolio leaders for the coming year. It's been a pleasure, as one of my first tasks as incoming PASS President, to match up Directors with the project portfolios where they can put their skills, experience, passions, and energy to best use.
Here are the portfolios for 2014:
The 2014 PASS Board also includes the PASS Executive Committee – consisting of myself; Executive VP, Finance, Adam Jorgensen; VP, Marketing, Denise McInerney; and Past President Bill Graziano – and Founding Partner Board members from CA and Microsoft.
The transition to new assignments is underway, and new portfolio leaders will be meeting with community leaders and volunteers at Summit to get a jump-start on their projects. Make sure you say "Hi" at Summit, join us at the Board Q&A on Friday, Oct. 18, and volunteer to pitch in on your favorite projects. We can't wait to get down to business! – Thomas LaRock
May 13, 2013 – After receiving positive feedback on the PASS Business Analytics Conference (BAC) Chapter referral program – 14 local PASS Chapters received monetary rewards by participating! – a similar program for PASS Summit has been created. For PASS Summit 2013, any local PASS Chapter (by local, we mean that your Chapter meets in-person) is eligible to participate.
All Chapter leaders should have received a unique discount code to share with their members. When the discount code is used to register for PASS Summit 2013, the Chapter receives $50 USD, with a maximum of $1,000 to be paid out at the completion of the event. Please note that use of the Chapter discount code is not retroactive and cannot be applied to an existing PASS Summit registration.
The following PASS Chapters benefited from the BAC referral program:
St. Louis SQL Server User Group
Capital Area and Central Texas Users of SQL Server (CACTUSS)
Chicago SQL Server User Group
I380 Corridor PASS Chapter (East Iowa)
Southwest Missouri SQL Server Users Group
Madison Professional Association for SQL Server (MADPASS)
Orlando SQL Server Users Group
Rochester PASS
Chicago SQL BI User Group
Sweden - SQLUG
West Michigan SQL Server User Group
Cincinnati PASS (CincyPASS)
SQL Server User Group Norway
MN Microsoft BI User Group
April 16, 2013 – The inaugural PASS Business Analytics Conference made its mark on Chicago and the world of business intelligence and analytics last week, featuring 1,150+ registrations and almost 900 attendees from across 26 countries. Thanks to all our attendees, speakers, volunteers, sponsors, and organizers for making the event such a success!
From amazing keynotes by Microsoft's Kamal Hathi and Amir Netz and Freakonomics author Dr. Steven Levitt, to over 60 sessions by 85 of the BI/BA industry's top experts and a Community Appreciation Party at Lucky Strike, the event delivered world-class training and nonstop networking opportunities. Many attendees also spent a day in one of the BA Conference's five pre-conference sessions or took advantage of the co-located BigDataCamp meet-up before the Welcome Reception.
Check out all the highlights – including Microsoft's public preview announcement of 3D mapping tool Project codename "GeoFlow" for Excel - in our community blog post roundups and on our Facebook photostream.
If you missed the conference or just didn't get to all the sessions you wanted to, you can own the full set of PASS BA Conference session recordings on USB flash drive, including 60+ conference sessions and the Microsoft keynote. Order yours today!
More Business Analytics Join Microsoft's Roger Barga, who wasn't able to make the PASS BA Conference due to weather, for a webinar presentation of "The Unrealized Power of Data," Thursday, April 25, at noon ET – hosted by the PASS Business Analytics Virtual Chapter.
April 15, 2013 – Cross-posted from my blog
With each of these quarterly posts, I want to be able to report progress in the areas I'm responsible for. I'm pleased to share some key milestones from the past three months.
New Webinar Platform Last year it became clear that we needed a more stable, scalable webinar platform for the Virtual Chapters and 24 Hours of PASS. Both the VCs and 24HOP continue to grow and attract larger audiences, and the technology we were using was not meeting our needs.
We discussed requirements with VC leaders and HQ staffers who work on 24HOP. We got proposals from seven or eight vendors and had live demonstrations from those that would meet our needs. In the end, we chose GoToWebinar from Citrix. Several VC leaders have been trained on the new platform, and a couple have started to use it. And we will be using GoToWebinar for the next 24HOP event.
Projects like these require organization and attention to detail. I want to recognize the work of HQ staffer Vicki Van Damme, who has been instrumental in getting us to the finish line.
24HOP Our first 24HOP of the year was held at the end of January. It was also our first Business Analytics Edition and featured a number of speakers who [also presented] at the PASS Business Analytics Conference. Focusing a 24HOP on business analytics reflects PASS's outreach to data professionals in this growing sector of our industry. Check out the session recordings to learn more about the work being done in this space.
Virtual events are a key part of PASS global growth. 24HOP Russian Edition was held in March. Thanks to the volunteers who worked hard to put on this event.
Virtual Chapters We launched two new VCs this quarter. The Business Analytics VC has already hosted four meetings and is playing an important part in PASS's growth into the BA world. The Book Readers VC is a virtual book club, where members get together online to discuss a book. They are starting with Itzik Ben-Gan's "T-SQL Fundamentals for SQL Server 2012." There is still time to read the first few chapters and join the discussion on April 17.
Virtual Chapters provide valuable technical training every month. Sign up for the VCs that interest you to get notified of upcoming events.
Other Business The Board met in January and discussed many items, including goals for the year, by-law changes, election process, and Summit. See the meeting minutes for details. In February, we adopted changes to the by-laws. And last week, I was in Chicago for a Board meeting and the BA Conference.
Budget planning is in full swing, and I've been working on the budgets for 24HOP and VCs.
Next Up In May, I'll be attending SQLBits, where I'm looking forward to meeting more members of the SQL community in the UK.
Planning for the next 24HOP will get underway soon, work on the budget will continue, and we'll finish rolling out the new webinar platform for the Virtual Chapters.

Americans Eating Fewer Vegetables
March 19, 2007 -- A new report shows Americans are actually getting worse at eating their vegetables.
This is hardly the first study to document dismal diet habits. Last week, the CDC gave U.S. adults poor marks for fruit and vegetable consumption.
Now, researchers from Johns Hopkins University confirm that Americans aren't getting better at eating fruits and vegetables -- even though public health officials urge them to do so.
The Johns Hopkins study shows that, among U.S. adults, fruit consumption is holding steady, but vegetable consumption is headed down -- even if you count french fries.
The study appears in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Fruit, Vegetable Consumption
Johns Hopkins University's Tiffany Gary, PhD, and colleagues reviewed data from two national health surveys.
The first survey, conducted from 1988 to 1994, included nearly 15,000 U.S. adults. The second survey, done between 1999 and 2002, included about 8,900 U.S. adults.
In both, participants reported everything they had eaten during the previous 24 hours. Then researchers checked how many people met these goals:
- Two or more servings of fruit, including fresh fruit, dried fruit, and 100% fruit juice
- Three or more servings of vegetables (fried potatoes count).
These goals have been touted since 1991 as part of the national campaign to get Americans to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. But apparently, most people aren't heeding the message.
Few Met Goals
In the earlier survey, 27% of participants met the fruit consumption goal vs. 28% in the later survey.
But the percentage meeting the vegetable consumption goal fell from 35% in the earlier survey to 32% in the one started about a decade later.
Fruit consumption basically stayed the same while vegetable consumption dropped slightly, note the researchers.
In addition, vegetable eaters appear to be in a bit of a rut. They tended to eat several servings of the same vegetable, showing little dietary diversity.
In each survey, only 11% met both goals.
Whites, college graduates, older adults, and people with higher incomes were more likely to meet the goals for fruit and vegetable consumption.

LUCKNOW: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Friday restrained all the religious institutions from issuing marriage certificates to a couple till further orders. The court also directed the UP director general of police to ensure the compliance of the order and also get such institutions scanned by a secretary level officer.
The court has summoned the inquiry report. The order came from the bench of Justice SN Shukla and Justice SVS Rathore on a writ petition filed by Indresh alias Golu, who had challenged an FIR registered in Ambedkarnagar at Jahangirganj police station. The girl's father Ramroop had lodged the FIR on February 19, 2011 against Indresh for kidnapping his daughter Poonam(14).
In the writ petition, Indresh stated that they were major and married in an Arya Samaj temple at Rajajipuram, which had issued them marriage certificate on July 21, 2011. As the girl was present in the court and her appearance cast a doubt regarding her age, the court summoned the marriage register from the secretary of Arya Samaj temple. From the register, it was revealed that age proof was presented before the said institution in October 2011.
As the court noticed that such types of happenings have become routine, it was irked and banned such institutions from issuing marriage certificates any longer. It also directed for an enquiry.

I'll let you soak that in for a second an ap ryze questioned my tryndamere build
what were u building on tryn?
If you were building AP Tryndamere, then he had reason to do so.
Needs boots, but sounds good to me.
Why do you care enough to make a thread about it.. are you ever going to play with him again? Probably not
Wriggles and QSS sounds pretty off to me. Simply enough though I'm highly doubting that Ryze is the ONLY champion he plays. Trynd needs early burst...you shouldn't cut your damage quite so highly early. Get merc treads as opposed to that QSS and start building your infini.
Agree with you there Bard, sept for the early burst on tryn. Tryn really needs that early damage or he can be shut down before he enters late game 1v3 time.

Russia is the largest country by land mass in the world, a status it maintained even after shedding 14 countries when the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. Early economic turmoil in the Russian Federation gave way to widespread privatization of industry and oil-fueled growth. The nation's politics have been dominated for more than a decade by the regime of President Vladimir Putin, who has re-nationalized private assets, cracked down on freedom of expression and pursued an expansion of regional influence. This expansion has included a military intervention in Ukraine and an internationally condemned annexation of the Crimean peninsula.

Russia is the largest and most powerful of the states to emerge from the former Soviet Union. As the seat of the Soviet empire that existed for over 70 years, the Russians wielded tremendous power both within the U.S.S.R. and in the international sphere. Almost from their emergence as a separate people, the Russians have extended the boundaries of their country to include a wide variety of non-Russian people. Both the Russian Czars and the Bolsheviks who came to power in 1917 have a long history of expansionist policies, which explains why, even today, an important part of the Russian national identity is that of leader of a large empire.

Beach Club or Yacht Club in August???
We will be traveling for 8-9 nights in August and staying in a standard room.
It will be me, DH, and our 3 girls - ages 10, 8, and 4 (who will be in a stroller) I know these resorts share the same great pool! But we are split as to where to stay in August. DH says YC. A full balcony is very important to him as a way to have some alone time at the end of a long day. I know a full balcony is a possibility at BC, but with also wanting a day bed I am not sure how easily both requests would be granted. I say BC because of the closer proximity to Epcot. I do worry about the "hustle bustle" some say about the BC in the lobby. I think we would welcome the quiet more on this vacation. We have only stayed at POP and I can't imagine it is anything equivalent to the chaos that exists in the POP food court at busy times. However, we do have kids who like to be kids and don't want to feel too "loud" for YC either. Otherwise, I don't think we have a clear preference as to theme, specific location, etc. Are the standard rooms more preferable in one over the other? I think BC is closer to refillable mug station (don't think that really matters). I guess what I am wondering is how much further of a walk is it to Epcot from YC? Is it considerable or just a minute or 2? Can some of the walk between resorts be done inside the resort instead of in the August heat? Or... how much would we miss a full balcony. For those of you who like the alone time, is it just too hot in August (even in the evenings) to utilize that balcony anyway. Anything else I should consider before making the choice? Tell me why you choose one over the other. We are completely on the fence right now Thank you so much for your help. |
We stayed at the Yacht Club in August of 2011. It is only a couple of minutes more of a walk - and we had a room at the very far end of the YC. I can't remember exactly, but I know you can do at least most of the walk indoors if you want. And I liked being close to the boat dock (for DHS) and the Boardwalk - we'd hop over for pizza and the Bakery.
We loved the Yacht Club - I used that balcony every day (my DH kept the room as cold as a meat locker - I would escape TO the heat!) The lobby was definitely quieter than the Beach Club, and the buses stop at the YC first so we always got seats. Hope this helps!:) |
We have only stayed at the BC, but have visited the YC many times and the BC lobby does seem to get a little more crowded and is louder than the YC lobby, but it's really not that bad. There are kids running around and being loud at all resorts, so I think you would be fine at either one. I would first try to decide how important a balcony is to you. If a balcony is a top priority, the YC would be the way to go, with putting in a request for a daybed. If it really doesn't matter and you think the BC would be a better choice, you could list both requests, with the first being the one that's most important to you. The Marketplace to refill mugs is located at the back of the BC gift shop, so staying at the BC would be a little more convenient for that. It does take a little longer to walk to Epcot from the YC, but it's minimal (like just a few minutes) and not enough (at least to me) to be the deciding factor between the two resorts. Good luck.
Out of the two I have only stayed at BC. I think your family would be happy with either. The walk to EPCOY might be a little bit longer from YC - but I don't think you'll notice. As you know they share the same pool. I think it comes down to the balcony your husband wants and the themeing of both the resorts.
Here's what I tell friends who ask this question...
Beach Club: -Brighter and airier (rooms, architecture and lobby) -Think "carefree elegance" -More crowded due to Cape May in lobby -3 min. walk to Epcot -Quick-Serve Option in gift shop -No balcony guarantee, but they have a great staff that will do whatever they can to help you -Think "seashells and fish and sand castles" Yacht Club -More dark and formal (rooms, architecture and lobby). -Think "privilege" -Very quiet and serene -5-6 minute walk to Epcot (not enough of a difference to choose one resort over the other -Better dining choices (Captain's Grill, Yachtsman's Steakhouse, Crew's Cup) -guaranteed balcony -Think "anchors and sailboats" |
I've stayed at YC once and BC many times. The more formal atmosphere of the YC wasn't really a factor for us at all. I liked our room and it had the balcony, which was nice. Our room was really close to the Boardwalk. One thing I liked about the YC was how close it was to the boat launch and the restaurants at the BWI. It is also a closer walk to Hollywood Studios. The extra time it took to walk to Epcot really wasn't too bad, maybe another five minutes. If a guaranteed balcony is the make or break deal, then go with the YC. We have ended up with the standing balcony quite a few times at the BC.
You can't walk through the YC to the BC. You have to go outside at some point because the resorts don't have a connection for the public. The BC is nice because it is closer to Epcot, you can walk through the air conditioned hallways of the BC to get to your room if you are staying in the BC. And the Marketplace is there. The YC doesn't have a counter service in it. |
Don't worry about requesting a day bed if you stay at the BC. CM have told us a reservation for 5 will automatically get you one. Just request the balcony as your first choice if that is important to you.
For me I like the BC because every step counts at the end of a long day in Epcot. I know this sounds silly, but we have found it to be true. However, since SAB is a pretty important part of the vacation, I like YC for families with young children, and BC for the older kids. We have always plopped down nearest our particular resort, so as the YC had most of the kiddie. Area, you may want to give that a try. |
I know this may have little to no influence on where you stay but the Yacht Club lobby was the best smelling hotel lobby I have ever been in, and I am not the type of person to remember things like this, but it just smelled so good!
I have stayed at both, and I don't think there is enough difference between the two resorts to be a make or break situation. The balcony issue might give the edge to the YC. Otherwise, I'd take the best room rate and you won't be disappointed. :)

A balcony at the Beach club
After reading the above posts, especially the comparisons to other towns, I think the BC is more our family's style. How likely is it that we would get a balcony if that was our sole request? Anyone have experience with that?
With that being said, I know the balcony is probably our top priority after hearing your comments. I just think it may be too big of a gamble at BC (is it a 50% chance or less to get a full balcony?) I know we also need a daybed, but I am guessing it would be almost guaranteed as PP suggested, and I don't think their availability tips the scale to BC over YC. Thank you! |
We stayed at the YC & BC when my 2 DD were tweens and BC felt more comfortable and relaxed.

Oct 10th, 2013I'm 27 years old and of Laotian nationality. More about me: I fell in love with art since I was a child. Art has always been my strong subject at school. Sailor moon was my first inspiration to draw manga style. I have not posted my old works yet -- perhaps another day. Secondly, Final Fantasy (VII-VIII-X-XII-XIII) was my inspiration for digital art and fantasy characters. Recently, I have been in love with photography. I have a thirst for improvement. Hobby: I spend most of my time on online forums (mostly about One Piece), read manga online, do photography, drawing, watching anime and watch Asian drama.

Apr 29th, 2012After 10 years of inactivity I recently started drawing again. I'm from South Africa and live in Cape Town. I studied Graphic Design but mostly apply that to doing marketing and design for the night-club my husband and myself own. After designing tattoos for us I realized how much I missed drawing and started working harder to improve. "Who has been your favorite teacher?" I don't think any of the professionals that were suppose to help mold my young mind had an effect on me. I can name several that were a negative influence. The person that taught me most about life and art is my mother. She is an artist in her own right and gave me a love for all forms of creativity. "How did you find Shadowness?" I'm a member of Deviant Art and was invited by May Fong. "What is your favorite non-art related activity?" I LOVE reading. I wish I had more hands and eyes to draw and read at the same time. I enjoy designing and making my own clothes...it's a goth thing.

Imagine what high school would have been like if dealing drugs had been legal when licensed, mobile social networking had been ubiquitous and the in-crowd had more leverage than most political parties… what would the smart-but-slightly-crazy outcasts end up doing?
In Adam Rakunas's novella "The Right People", they're in the lucrative but precarious position of selling clandestine bootleg sex toys to the overachievers, but the rug is about to be pulled out… (mehr)
Until the guys selling sex toys at the high school get involved, the student body election looks like an easy win for the guy with the best reputation. Then things get a little kinky.
In the end, it is a story about high school politics. It is pretty amusing.
The right People by Adam Rakunas. Nutty high school were rep is everything. The totally funny brutal struggle not be on the bottom. Blackmail, betrayal and student elections. Oh and a underground sex toy ring. Almost like my high school with less sex and less meanness. You should also ck out Hooking up by Tom Doyle I read it at the same time more high school fun.

Overview of Mulberry Row
Named for the mulberry trees planted along it, Mulberry Row was the center of plantation activity at Monticello from the 1770s to Jefferson's death in 1826. Jefferson's original plan for the site was a 400-foot-long row of shops and yards joined structurally so as to look like a single building. There, iron and woodworking facilities and areas for raising poultry and slaughtering livestock would serve as a link between the plantation at large and the domestic operations, like kitchen, dairy, and smokehouse, that Jefferson planned for the dependency wings attached to the main house.
Thirty years, passed, however, before Jefferson was able to execute his wing plans for Monticello, so that Mulberry Row became the site of an assortment of mainly temporary structures serving both the 5,000-acre plantation and the house. In 1796, when Jefferson had temporarily retired from public office, there were seventeen structures along the 1,000-foot-long Row. These included dwellings for black and white workers, wood and ironworking (including the nailery) shops, a smokehouse and dairy, a wash house, storehouses, and a stable.
It's sometimes easy to forget that Monticello included more than just Jefferson's house. Mulberry Row is a clear reminder of the slaves who not only labored in Jefferson's home, but also worked in various industries to keep the plantation running. From shoeing horses to smoking meat to housing slaves, the structures on Mulberry Row were an integral part of the plantation.

You also have the option under the Popular tab to see what's trending currently on Socialcam.
When you're ready for your debut on Socialcam, simply touch the camera icon in the center at the bottom of the interface to open the iPhone camera. Across the top of the interface, you get the standard buttons for turning on your flash and switching between front- and rear-facing cameras. Socialcam offers nine effects you can apply to videos for a little extra style and you can browse each effect in real time by swiping to the left or right before you start recording. When you're ready, start shooting. When you're finished, you can add a title, select the privacy level (people you share with, followers, or public), and touch preview to make sure it's up to snuff. Hitting Next from this screen gives you further options to add a theme to your video, background music you can choose by genre, and the capability to adjust your microphone level to make sure you're heard (or not heard) over the music. The last step offers the option to share your video with other social networks before finally posting to the feed.
Socialcam is an incredibly easy way to get started with this recently mega-popular social medium. With simple controls, cool-looking effects, and step-by-step instructions for leading you through the process, this app is tough to beat in this category.

Thigh Gap: A Disturbing Trend Among Teen Girls
By GalTime .com
I am concerned that our girls should be focusing on the things of childhood and the teenage years including having fun, developing meaningful friendships, passions and hobbies instead of sadly focusing on the space between their thighs. To me, as a mother and a clinical psychologist, this focus on the space between the thighs also seems to have a sexual flavor. As parents, we not only should, but we must talk to our daughters about this new trend and how it is at odds with the development of good and healthy self-esteem. And that is what we all want for our teen daughters, right?
Please talk to your daughters about this new trend and share your thoughts and listen to theirs. As we know a little talk can go a long way.
Has your daughter ever mentioned thigh gap?

"Definitely not my style of banana bread. It was more of a bread pudding consistency."
"I made this for football Sunday and just left it on the stove warm all day. It was great! It is packed with healthy ingredients to boot :) Most people did add a bit of hotsauce to kick it up a little bit. I also put pepper jack cheese and some sour cream out for those who wanted to add a little."
"Hmm. I used the balsamic vinegar. Sauce seemed too thick and too dark. Didn't get the taste of a "normal" pizza."

In August the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, part of the West Side Tennis Club, will have music reverberating off its walls once more.
It has been announced that for the first time in decades a concert will be held on the hallowed grounds where rock icons such as the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix — who was booed off stage when he played there — and Bob Dylan all strummed their guitars.
Mumford and Sons, the Grammy Award-winning folk rock group, will take to the clay courts on Aug. 28. The group was taken on a tour of the venue and fell in love with it, The New York Times reported
"I believe the West Side Tennis Club is taking the community wishes and concerns appropriately and that this development will be highly beneficial for the club," Michael Perlman, a Forest Hills resident and chairman of the Rego-Forest Preservation Council, said.
The Mumford concert is somewhat of a pilot as the club is expecting an additional six performances from a variety of groups over the next three years. In the past, there have been members of the community and elected officials, including Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills), who were strongly opposed to the WSTC hosting concerts. That opposition was mainly because many felt it would cause massive traffic and trash problems.
"I have faith in President Roland Meye and Tennis Director Bob Ingersole of the West Side Tennis Club," Perlman said. "I feel that they are aware of the potential shortcomings and I believe they are taking a proactive approach in addressing any potential problems."
In summer 2010, the fate of the WSTC was in jeopardy as plans to transform the landmark into condos were proposed. That same year, it was said that the stadium was structurally unsound. But the membership board overturned the condo proposal and a secondary engineering study found that the structure was sound thus saving the shoddy structure that once housed the US Open.
Pati de Wardener, a descendant of Kenneth Murchison, the architect of the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium and prominent public buildings designer, said that Murchison would have been delighted to hear music in the stadium once more.
"A lot of people don't know this but he wrote music and he wrote plays so he would be so happy to hear this," she said. "He's looking down and saying to himself that this is the perfect use for his stadium. In this day and age there aren't many open spaces where people can take in concerts, but I think using this space by putting a dog park or little cafes would be great. A place where people can go and think on the history of the neighborhood they live in."
Currently, the stadium is a bit rundown but reportedly it will be ready before people fill the stands in two months.
Perlman said that the revenue gained from this and future concerts will go towards renovating the landmark.
"I believe some time down the line it will generate enough revenue and we can finish restoring the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium and have tennis matches and maybe ice hockey in the winter time, which will contribute to the diversity and feasibility of the building," he said. "It will also increase the quantity of people who patronize the businesses on the nearby Austin Street, which will hopefully encourage new businesses to open up in place of some of the vacant spots."

Hey, everyone! Hope you're having a fulfilling holiday season without too much stress.
I had a few updates on what's happening this month. In addition to Chevalier and Warrior Prince, I'll also release Volume 1 of the Ondine Quartet series on December 21st. This e-book set will include Whirl, Billow, Chevalier, and Warrior Prince. Basically, it's half the series in one convenient bundle.
So I wanted to do something fun and easy leading up to the release date. Since it's the holidays, what better way to celebrate than to do a giveaway? How about six of them?
Five wonderful blogs will each host an Ondine Quartet giveaway (the final blog stop is here). Each blog will select one winner to receive signed Whirl and Billow posters and bookmarks as well as the entire e-book set of Ondine Quartet Volume 1 (Whirl, Billow, Chevalier, and Warrior Prince).
That means you have at least six chances to win – just follow along and enter on each stop!
Chevalier and Warrior Prince covers are obviously missing from the above graphic. Fear not, dear Reader. I just got the final covers back from my amazing cover designer, Michelle at Indie Cover Designs, and they are simply stunning. I can't wait to share them with you!
Cover reveal for both books will take place on this blog on Wednesday, December 5th.
I've also started sharing teasers from both books on social media sites. Tuesdays feature a teaser quote from Chevalier and Thursdays feature a quote from Warrior Prince. You can follow along on my Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr.
That's it for now. Stop by Wednesday to see the covers!

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Host Obama Fundraiser At 40/40 Club
President Obama worked a late shift in New York City Tuesday night to promote his 2012 presidential campaign.
His stops included a fundraiser hosted by Jay-Z and Beyoncé at Hov's 40/40 club and a lengthy sit-down with David Letterman on his late-night talk show. As usual, the Prez wooed the audience with his humor and charm, dabbling in his married life with Michelle to trouble in Libya.
When asked if it's difficult to campaign as an incumbent this time around, the always light-hearted Obama responded, "It's actually harder because you've got two jobs... but the plane's nicer now."
Check out photos from the fundraiser below.

Ok I searched the forums and couldnt really find my exact problem addressed so I am making a new thread (forgive me if I did not search thorough enough)
Ok so my Biceps are totally out of whack, my left is a full inch bigger (I am just realizing this to btw) than my right. Here is the thing I am right handed and one would normally think the larger one being stronger. I read people giving advice on unilateral movements and doing more sets with the smaller pec/tricep ect ect.. However my smaller right bicep is far stronger than its counterpart.
Soooo what should I do? As of right now I am doing an arms day that is one big tri set mixing up excercises delts/tris/bis with biceps always coming in last. I usually do DBs for biceps and all variations and my form is usually spot on. occasionally I will do some straight bar work but I have not ever noticed favoring one side over the other. I am open to all suggestions and or comments..
