Batman Spotted in Japan
August 26th, 2014
Batman sightings on the Internet are a dime a dozen, but in the real world, you don't see Batman very often – even if you go to Gotham City. Wouldn't it be cool if you looked out the car window while you're driving down the highway and saw The Dark Knight?
Well, this past weekend in Japan, that happened to several people. Batman was spotted on his three-wheeled Batcycle. Ryuuchan spotted him in Chiba Prefecture and took these pictures. We don't know if he was on his way to face off against the Joker or just out having a ride on a nice day.
Whatever the case, Batman is looking good and he is on the job.

SQL Query Error
I'm running a SQL query on an ASP search page as follows:
"Select * from product WHERE category = '1127200642358' AND subcategory = '121200613846' AND SKU LIKE '%123%' or SKU like '%124%'"
I get 4 products back, however:
- The first 2 products have the correct category, subcategory and SKU
- The second 2 products have the correct category, but the subcategory is 1127200642532 on one of them and 1127200642437 on the other one. Nothing close to the requested subcategory in the query.
Any ideas on why these last 2 products are showing up even though they don't match the search query?

It has to do with the LIKE statements on the SKUs. Since you are not defining them as individual units with parentheses, you are telling the database to find all matching entries with:
category = '1127200642358', subcategory = '121200613846', SKU LIKE '%123%'
category = '1127200642358', subcategory = '121200613846', SKU LIKE '%124%'
category = '1127200642358', SKU LIKE '%123%'
category = '1127200642358', SKU LIKE '%124%'
Wrap your AND statements in parentheses. That will solve this problem.
Couple of quick notes:Code:strSQL = "Select * from product WHERE (category = '1127200642358' AND subcategory = '121200613846') AND ((SKU LIKE '%123%') OR (SKU like '%124%'))"
1) Always try your queries out on the database first, before putting them into your ASP. It will help you to find if there are errors and whether or not you have the correct syntax.
2) Try to refrain from using "SELECT *". Always define which fields you want to see, unless you absolutely need to see ALL fields. This has a big influence on your Query Optimization.

Labor finally safe in Fisher as Libs pray for Davenport
Adelaide | There will be no court challenge to the knife-edge by-election result in Fisher.
The cut-off for lodging a disputed returns notice with the Supreme Court ended at close of business yesterday.
Independent candidate Daniel Woodyatt told InDaily via text message this morning: "I will not be challenging the Fisher by-election result."
Woodyatt finished 219 votes behind Labor's Nat Cook, who beat Liberal Heidi Harris on preferences by just nine.
But the campaign was marred by contentious electioneering: electoral commissioner Kay Mousley ordered a Liberal pamphlet withdrawn in the last week and told Woodyatt he could consider an appeal to the court of disputed returns if he considered the election result had been compromised. Then, on polling day, Independent candidate Robert d Full Story »
Flinders medico wins compo for work crash
Adelaide | A Flinders Medical Centre brain surgeon has won the right to compensation from SA Health for injuries he sustained in a car accident on his way to work.
Dr Henry Buckett suffered serious injuries in a car accident while driving to the hospital, earlier than usual, on the morning of June 6 last year.
Buckett had been recalled to FMC the previous night to assess a patient, "Mr A", who had presented at the neurosurgical ward. The patient had signs of bleeding on the brain and was deteriorating.
Workers Compensation Tribunal Deputy president Stephen Lieschke accepted Buckett's explanation that he was returning to the hospital earlier than usual the next morning to reassess Mr A as part of his recall duties, before beginning his usual day shift.

Rau "frustrated" by Gillman secrecy
Adelaide | Planning Minister John Rau says he is frustrated that he can't provide detail about what is planned for the development of more than 400 hectares of government land at Gillman.
Rau said today that he would be happy to talk more freely about the oil, gas and transport "hub" planned for Gillman under the deal – but Crown advice prevented him from doing so.
His argument is a change in tone from the defiant approach of Premier Jay Weatherill and Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis on the controversial Gillman deal, which provides exclusive rights to Adelaide Capital Partners (ACP) to develop the land.
ACP's contract apparently involves the staged fill and development of parcels of the land over many years.
The Government insists the contract requires the eventua Full Story »
Behind the back labels of Penfolds blends
PHILIP WHITE REVIEWS | Philip White has a think about two expensive Shiraz blends from Penfolds.
Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna ® South Australia Shiraz 2012
$40 Vintage Cellars, $37 Dan Murphy's; 14.5% alcohol; screw cap; 80++ points
Kalimna is a priceless old vineyard property at the north end of the Barossa. There's a very, very special 1880s Cabernet Block 42 there, whose wine sells at around Grange prices. If you wanted to, you could have paid $168,000 for 750 mls of the 2004 in the ravishing Ampoule, which quickly sold out in 2012.
On the other hand, Kalimna's Shiraz vines start in 1948. Somehow, instead of revering that special place, some marketing genius decided to make Kalimna a registered brand name in a more generic sense, so the grapes in this wine come, as the lab Full Story »

By Shannon Iggy in Movies on Dec 13, 2013
David O. Russell, director of Silver Linings Playbook and The Fighter, delivers another smash with his new film, American Hustle. The film takes place in the 1970s, following an eager FBI agent (Bradley Cooper) who is reluctantly aided by two con artists (Christian Bale and Amy Adams) on a quest to expose corruption in Camden mayor Carmine Polito's (Jeremy Renner) inner circle.
Performed by an all-star cast, American Hustle is a cunning tale of survival. "Some of this actually happened," the film jokes in its opening scenes, alluding to the ABSCAM investigation it is based on (though the film's creators insist that American Hustle is a work of fiction). The screenplay, written by Eric Warner Singer and Russell, was nominated for a Golden Globe and won the New York Film Critics' award for best screenplay.
Christian Bale's physical transformation into the plump and balding Irving Rosenfeld is enthralling. His performance reels you in, and though he is a brilliant con man who survives by scheming others, you begin to see the humanity in his character. However, it is Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal of his wife, Rosalyn Rosenfeld, that steals the show. Already a New York Film Critics award winner for her role, it's no shock that Lawrence was nominated this morning for a Golden Globe in the best supporting actress category. Another Academy Award just may be in her future!
American Hustle, declared one of the ten best films of the year by the American Film Institute, is an absolute must-see. The chemistry between the actors (most of whom have appeared in previous Russell films) is apparent and electrifying, creating scenes that are guaranteed to keep your eyes glued to the screen for all 132 minutes. The film was nominated for seven Golden Globe awards, tied with the critically acclaimed 12 Years a Slave.
American Hustle opens in select theaters tomorrow and will be released everywhere on December 20th.

Bahrainis call for protests as emergency lifted
By W.G. Dunlop (AFP) a** 3 hours ago
DUBAI a** Bahraini activists called on supporters to hold pro-reform
protests on Wednesday as a state of emergency imposed during a March
crackdown on demonstrators was being lifted, one day after the king called
for dialogue.
Shiites, who form a majority in the Sunni-ruled kingdom, began
demonstrations on February 14 but were crushed by security forces the
following month.
Authorities said 24 people, including four policemen, were killed in the
Under the state of emergency, decreed on March 15, security forces cracked
down on Shiite villages, arresting hundreds of people, many of whom have
been referred to special courts.
Bahraini activists called on the "February 14 Revolution Youth Coalition"
Facebook page for protests to be held on Wednesday.
"The protests are to be in main streets and squares ... the movement must
return to important places ahead of the imminent return, God willing, to
Martyr's Square," said a post giving instructions for demonstrations and
referring to the square where protests were centred before the crackdown.
The protests "will confirm that our revolution has not and will not end
until our people, from the sons of both honoured sects, take their right
... of self-determination," it said, referring to Sunnis and Shiites.
"Most of the Shiite villages have come up with a statement that they will
participate" in the protests, an activist told AFP by telephone
"Today they will do the protest heading to the main area from each
village, and they said on Friday that they will march to the roundabout"
-- the focal point of demonstrations from February to March, said the
activist, who asked not to be named.
Rights group Amnesty International has called in a statement for Bahraini
authorities to allow the planned protests to go ahead.
"Bahraini authorities must not make the same mistakes as in February and
March, when largely peaceful protests were violently suppressed by
government security forces," Malcolm Smart, Amnesty's Middle East and
North Africa director, said in the statement.
"As the state of emergency is lifted, the authorities must allow people to
peacefully exercise their rights to freedom of expression and
association," Smart said.
On Tuesday, Bahrain's King Hamad, called for national dialogue beginning
in July.
"I appeal to the executive and legislature to convene a dialogue of
national consensus," the king was quoted by the official BNA news agency
as saying.
He called for "all necessary steps to prepare for a serious dialogue,
comprehensive and without preconditions, adding that it should "start from
July 1."
After the February protests began, the king charged Crown Prince Salman
with opening a national dialogue, a call that was dismissed by the
opposition until various preconditions were met.
"Today marks the final day of the State of National Safety (state of
emergency) in Bahrain and the military forces have begun their withdrawal
from the streets," Prince Salman was on Tuesday quoted in a government
statement as saying.
"As a nation, we face several challenges ahead as we seek to address
issues of concern, while continuing efforts to prevent extremism and
sectarianism taking hold in Bahrain."
But the prospects for dialogue were called into question by the reported
interrogation of opposition leaders on Tuesday.
Al-Wefaq, the main Bahraini Shiite opposition group, said in a Wednesday
statement that its head and three more of its high-ranking officials had
been interrogated by a military prosecutor the day before.
In the statement, Al-Wefaq said that Sheikh Ali Salman, Ibrahim
al-Marzouk, Abdel Jalil Ali Ibrahim and Mohammed Yussef al-Mazaal had been
interrogated for five hours on Tuesday.

* Emergency law lifted after crackdown that began in March
* Decision this week on whether Formula One will return
* Opposition fears repression will continue
By Andrew Hammond
MANAMA, June 1 (Reuters) - Bahrain lifted martial law on Wednesday in what
the government hopes will be a sign to tourists and business of a return
to normal, but the opposition fears repression is set to continue.
The authorities are especially keen to get back the Formula One race. The
prestigious March event in the motor-racing calendar was cancelled because
of unrest that erupted in February when pro-democracy protesters, inspired
by uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, took to the streets.
A meeting of the sport's governing body on Friday could reinstate it for
later this year, but U.S.-based Human Rights Watch has said a heavy
crackdown on opposition activists during 11 weeks of martial law should
count in the decision.
On Wednesday, the dusty streets of the capital, Manama, were calm, and a
military camp set up next to to a large roundabout that was the focal
point of protests had dwindled to a few armoured vehicles.
King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, whose Sunni Muslim family rules over a
majority Shi'ite population, offered a dialogue on reform in a speech on
While the king spoke, military prosecutors summoned four members of the
main opposition party Wefaq, including its leader, and rights activist
Nabeel Rajab, for questioning. They were released after several hours,
acquaintances said.
"The end of the national security law and announcement of dialogue are
both positive. It will be a shame if anyone is negative about it," said
Jamal Fakhro, a Sunni lawmaker.
"Bahrain will welcome Formula One, and any other event. There's nothing
wrong with that because life is back to normal now and it wil be excellent
to have it back."
Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. Fifth Fleet, is a faultline in the standoff
between Iran and the U.S.-allied ruling dynasties of the energy-producing
Gulf Arab region. Bahrain says Iran orchestrated the protests through
links to Shi'ite groups.
U.S. President Barack Obama criticised the Bahraini crackdown in a speech
this month, saying the government should begin dialogue with peaceful
opposition leaders.
Activists are trying to stage marches in Shi'ite villages later on
Wednesday. Online flyers describe them as "loyalty to the martyrs' blood"
and one advertises a return to Pearl Roundabout, where protesters camped
out for over a month.
Syria lifted a decades-old emergency law to meet a demand of protesters,
but that has not calmed unrests there.
With Bahrain's state of emergency over, military prosecutors can no longer
call in civilians but military courts will still hear several cases
started since martial law began on March 15.
Twenty-one opposition figures -- seven of whom are abroad -- are on
military trial on charges of seeking to overthrow the system. Most of them
are from parties that called for a republic. Rights activists say they
have been tortured.
Future verdicts could spark protests.
Sunni Islamist groups are calling for death penalties and no royal
amnesty. "No pardon for the leaders of strife, the sick elements must be
uprooted" a large sign says outside the offices of Asala, one of the
groups, with an image of a noose.
Since calling in Saudi and United Arab Emirates forces to help quash the
protest movement, the authorities have also unleashed a campaign of
detention and dismissals affecting thousands who took part, most of them
Dozens of Shi'ite places of worship have also been demolished and four
people have died in custody.
Rights activists say it is not clear how many remain in detention. Dozens
of doctors and nurses have been arrested and health services have been
purged of Shi'ite managers.
State media says medics stored weapons at Pearl Roundabout and a nearby
hospital. Doctors who have been released deny this, saying they were
forced to sign and record confessions. "I expect to see a lot of gloss
before the summer kicks in. There will be some reform on the surface but a
hardline approach," a diplomat said. "There will be less checkpoints but
you won't be able to go into the Shi'ite villages easily."
Tanks and other military vehicles were gone from outside government
ministries and the financial district, but a number of small armoured
patrol vehicles of the Interior Ministry-run National Guard were stationed
around Pearl Roundabout.
The government has renamed the roundabout the Farouq Junction, a reference
to an early Islamic leader who Shi'ites consider was against their cause.
Pro-government newspapers said on Wednesday that security checkpoints
would be maintained permanently in locations to be announced. (Editing by
Reed Stevenson and Alistair Lyon)
Calls for mass protests as Bahrain lifts emergency law
Tension reigned in the Bahraini capital, Manama, on Wednesday, where some
activists called for protests to resume as the government lifted emergency
laws, which had been in place for over two months.
Tanks disappeared from the streets of Manama, although security forces
maintained a few roadblocks in the city.
The emergency law, imposed in March following weeks of massive
anti-government protests, banned all demonstrations and public gatherings,
and allowed for arbitrary arrests.
Troops from neighbouring Gulf nations were also deployed to the island
kingdom to help quell the unrest.
The protests were often met with brutal government crackdowns. At least 24
people were killed in the unrest, according to the government.
International rights group Amnesty International called on the government
to refrain from violence in the face of fresh protest.
a**The Bahraini authorities must not make the same mistakes as in February
and March, when largely peaceful protests were violently suppressed by
government security forces,a** Malcolm Smart, the groupa**s Middle East
and North Africa Director, said in a report published on Tuesday.
Hundreds of protesters, activists, and journalists have been arrested, and
some face military trials.
a**At least 2,000 people have also been dismissed or suspended from their
jobs, apparently for participating in the protests,a** the report said.
Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa on Tuesday called for reform talks
starting July 1 a**without preconditions.a** The king called on a**both
the executive and the legislature authorities to call for a dialogue for

Bahrain prosecutors question opposition leaders
(AP) a** 1 hour ago
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) a** Bahrain's leading Shiite opposition party says
four of its senior leaders have been questioned by prosecutors of a
special security court set up under emergency rule.
Al Wefaq says in a statement that the four leaders were questioned for
five hours Tuesday over their role in anti-government protests that have
shaken the Sunni-ruled Gulf kingdom.
Bahrain's king declared martial law in March and invited a Saudi-led force
to help quell Shiite-led dissent. Emergency rule expires Wednesday.
Al Wefaq is the most influential party in Bahrain's seven-member Shiite
opposition. The party's leader, Ali Salman, was also questioned.

Yet Del Toro says they pulled it off.

Recipe by MATHGOD
"A gluten-free, soy-free, cow dairy-free New York cheesecake that has that decadent mouth-feel. I have served it several times without anyone noticing it wasn't the REAL STUFF. At a recent party my husband mentioned that he had not had cheesecake for 20 years because of his allergies so this became my goal and voila! Enjoy!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

7 ounces gluten-free gingersnap cookies, finely crushed
1/4 cup margarine, melted
2 pounds chevre (soft goat cheese) at room temperature
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup coconut milk
8 ounces cultured coconut milk (coconut milk yogurt)
1 tablespoon gluten-free vanilla extract
1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
I used a regular graham crust and regular vanilla yoghurt. I added a tbsp of lemon juice and used the inside of two small vanilla beans (bulk barn style),in place of vanilla extract, and a couple drops of lemon flavouring. The lemon juice cuts down the "goat" flavour. Without lemon juice, you can still taste the "goat". Excellent recipe overall and two thumbs up to MATHGOD for trying it in the first place.
Very easy to make but very expensive. Was excellent. Young grandson didn't even notice it had goat cheese. Had more of a lemon flavor then I expected. Had to use coconut oil in place of butter due to milk allergy.

This is BETTER than the real stuff! Wowsers! Simply fab!
This was great. One would never know it wasn't a standard cheesecake. I used light coconut milk and cultured goat milk. I threw some chocolate chips on top. YUM!
This was a delightful recipe! I loved it! I used a nut crust instead of a cookie crust, and followed the rest of the recipe and it was superb! For a family of non-dairy eaters, it was hitting the jackpot! I also have experimented with making it into a pumpkin cheesecake (taking some of the base and adding pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice to it); it worked fine, but the original still is our favorite.
This cheesecake was very good and my husband loved it. I would probably only make this for very special occasions because the flavor is very similar to regular New York style cheesecake and the cost is so much more expensive. Not to mention it was difficult to find cultured coconut milk (only Trader Joe's had it) so it turned into a big project.

Brick Mansions
is an English-language remake of Pierre Morel's 2004 French actioner
District 13
(which got a 2009 sequel,
District 13: Ultimatum
). Morel's movie, written and produced by Luc Besson, was itself heavily indebted to a pair of John Carpenter's early pictures,
Escape From New York
Assault On Precinct 13
, with the latter a loose, urban remake of Howard Hawks'
Rio Bravo
. Who says there are no new ideas?
Again scribbled (seemingly in crayon) and produced by Besson, the set-up is pretty much identical, transposed from Paris to Detroit. The year is 2018, and the titular inner-city slum has been walled off and left to rot, its inhabitants deprived of schools, hospitals and, judging from the rodents, a decent exterminator.
Only now Detroit's right-wing mayor has to take notice, for a nuclear device has fallen into the hands of Brick Mansions' crime lord, Tremaine (RZA). The only chance of retrieving it as the clock ticks down is to send in the uneasy duo of an undercover cop (Paul Walker) and ex-con (the original's David Belle, reprising his role).
This is the late Walker's last completed film and there's something sad, surreal and inescapably ghoulish about seeing him on screen, especially during the numerous car chases and smashes. Asked to keep stride with Belle, one of the founders of parkour, he makes a decent fist of it, punching out endless foot soldiers as he hurtles through grimy streets, scales buildings and vaults from roof to roof.
Walker's helped, of course, by the blitzkrieg cutting, though the chopped-up action and gimmicky camera flourishes only get in the way of watching Belle do what he does best – which certainly isn't acting (especially in English).
The many freerunning sequences should satisfy action junkies coming down from
The Raid 2
, but Camille Delamarre's remake face-plants in all other areas. His next movie is
Transporter 4
. Who says there are no new ideas?
Favouring vitality over originality, this needless remake of District 13 comes with fleet-footed sequences but plenty of stumbles, and strains far too hard to be 'cool'.

Retaining freshman students is a vital yet difficult task. Utah Valley University, with its primarily commuter campus, found it especially onerous, with about six out of 10 first-year students opting not to return for their sophomore years.
Retaining freshman students is a vital yet difficult task. Utah Valley University, with its primarily commuter campus, found it especially onerous, with about six out of 10 first-year students opting not to return for their sophomore years.
Increasingly, college and university leaders are recognizing that no undergraduate education is complete without exposure to cultures outside the United States.
More than one-quarter of teenage cell phone users have gone online with their devices, and online usage is greatest among students in households with less than $30,000 annual income, according to the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project, released in 2010.
Research has shown that minority students are more likely to succeed when faculty and staff are equally diverse. While many institutions are still trying to boost campus diversity, Ivy Tech Community College (Ind.) doesn't have that problem.
In our wired, social media-saturated world, many of us are connected to family and friends on Facebook and to business colleagues and other professionals via LinkedIn. These connections are undeniably meaningful and beneficial to each of us personally, and potentially, professionally.
Some of the scariest risks on campus remain hidden until the moment that students, teachers, and staff experience them. Until the shooter kills, the funding disappears, or the opposing party files the lawsuit, everything seems fine.
Ever wonder what Facebook does with the information it collects about you? Ever wonder what you could do with that same information?
Just back from campus info visits, with children having us in tow, we gained a fresh perspective on what today's aspiring college students like best to learn, where they want to live, and how they want to engage in the global higher learning experience.
If you haven't made your plans yet for EduComm 2011, let me take this opportunity to tell you about the variety of fast-paced, information-packed breakout sessions scheduled for attendees.
Chances are I am not the only college president being asked these days why my institution is not following Sewanee's lead and reducing tuition by 10 percent—or more.
If a qualified job applicant is neither a U.S. citizen nor a permanent U.S. resident, known as a "green card" holder, most likely that individual will require a visa enabling him or her to live and work in the United States. Foreign visitors in the U.S.
Transfer used to be what happened when students realized too late that they picked a college or university that wasn't right for them. It wasn't until recently that the valuable market of transfer students has started being studied and really tapped into.
The call for increased transparency in the college pricing and financial aid arenas is coming from many directions and is ringing louder and more clearly than ever.
Preparing students to work in a global economy is no small feat, but it is a skill employers are requesting.

Literally Irregardless
These are two of my pet peeves.The first I see so many times when it clearly is not appropriate. For example, "I was at an AC/DC concert last night and the noise was so loud that my head literally exploded!" Really? If your head "literally" exploded, there would be grey matter (or whatever is occupying your cranial cavity) splattered all over the place.
The other example (irregardless) speaks for itself...
Oh, man! I quit dating a guy once because his spelling and grammar was horrific. I got a text that read "Your so beautiful." Bye!
hehe...I literally love this story. ;)
I think what is most important is another human being is trying to connect with you and we often do that through speaking. Isn't it nice to have a good conversation with another? It's quite possible you don't really connect with others because you are critiquing his or her grammar. Good conversational skills require good listening skills and really listening to what someone is trying to say. You might try putting away your checklist of grammar mistakes and making a human connection with another who is nice enough to have a conversation with you. My pet peeve is having a one sided conversation with someone who isn't truly listening. Do you know the definitions of the words rude and condescending? Tsk! Tsk!
I teach English to foreigners so I am confronted with bad or incorrect grammar on a daily basis. I often ask my students "What did you do at the weekend" this gets them to talk about personal experiences in the simple past tense. Many of them say "I was at home" or I was at a concert" etc. This is not a correct answer to the question because I didn't ask "where were you at the weekend?" I asked "What did you do" so therefore they should have answered "I went to a concert", Most of my students have learnt other foreign languages and they translate directly from that language word for word into English, so I have to really get my point across to them not to translate but to learn the sentences in the English structure. In your writing about the literally exploding, some people don't seem to think about the meaning of what they are writing just whether it sounds dramatical or not. Many points get exaggerated in writing especially when using metaphors.
Thanks Sciguy... I haven't laughed that hard in a long time...
Thanks Sciguy... I haven't laughed that hard in a long time...
It does make me wonder what is going on in schools when basic words are not being studied and learned and remembered for that matter!

18 maxims of successful IT consulting
Chip Camden shares IT consulting lessons he's picked up over the years. After you read his pearls of wisdom, post your favorite consulting one-liners in the discussion.
Project management: One size does not fit all
Some projects are not suited to a Waterfall approach, and they're not a perfect fit for a 100% Agile approach. The solution might be a combination of the two project management methodologies.
Maximize Office 365 for project management
Project managers can find a lot to like in Office 365 to keep their teams better connected and centralize their project information and communications.
Statement of work: essential or useless?
Chip Camden advises on how to write a statement of work that fits with an iterative development process, yet still provides assurances of value to the client and to the consultant.
Huddle: a worthy SharePoint alternative for client collaboration
SharePoint is the go-to collaboration suite for most professional services firms. Find out why the SaaS-based Huddle might be a more expedient and user-friendly client extranet option.

How to respond if a client asks you to lie
If an IT consulting client asked you lie for them, would you? Chip Camden provides tips on what to say if your client puts you on the spot.
A consultant's technical pride causes his team considerable delays
Don't make this consultant's mistake: taking on project issues that don't suit your technical abilities. Letting your team apply its strengths to project work will allow you to focus on planning and management duties, and you'll all meet your deadlines.
Should IT consultants pay for their stupid mistakes?
Chip Camden is kicking himself because a client's test files were wiped out from a shared storage space, and there was no backup. Now he's grappling with whether he should (literally) pay his client for the mistake. To let him know what you would do, take this poll.
Five tips to help you deal with people who love to hate consultants
As an outsider coming into a company to make sometimes unwelcome changes, consultants can often find themselves the target of office politics. Here are a few survival tactics from a consultant who has been there.
Dealing with a mistrustful client
A CIO hires a consultant to examine the feasibility of outsourcing his IT team. When the consultant tries to handle the inevitable bad feelings of the in-house team, he finds that this extreme challenge also raises ethical questions.
IT consulting: The customer isn't always right
When a customer is wrong, it can be difficult to get them to come around to your way of thinking. Robert L. Bogue explains why listening, teaching, and giving them time to process information can go a long way.
Good consultants know when to be "invisible"
Sometimes you need to take a backseat to the client team so that they can fully develop the skills they'll need after you're gone. Shannon Kalvar describes becoming an "invisible consultant" in order to allow a client to become the star of the project.
A change management primer for IT consultants
Determining the ability of the client organization to cope with a major IT project can help consultants find the most appropriate solution. Learn how evaluating the client's roles, resistance, and resilience can help you gauge their capacity for change.
Six questions to ask yourself before expanding your IT consultancy
Don't expand your IT consultancy without asking yourself these six important questions. If you still decide to take the plunge, find out what Chip Camden advises to ease into the transition.
A thieving coworker presents a sticky situation for an IT consultant
There are no easy answers for consultants who uncover coworkers that are stealing computer equipment from clients. Here is a good example of just such a dilemma faced by one TechRepublic member, along with the problem's satisfactory resolution.
Resist bad decisions that will waste your client's money
If you're in a position where you believe a client's time and money is going to be wasted because of mismanagement or micromanagement by another consultant, Jeff Davis offers advice about what you should do.
Solicit client feedback with these consultant evaluation forms

Sharon,what did you use for the batting?....I thought to make some hot pads for my dad since the ones he took with him to the new apartment are to cringe about....lolol....I threw away what I could get ahold of and the rest will go when I get these done...MEN.......Judy |
All are lovely. I need to make some for ME!! Judy I have to laugh at your comment. My sis made a very simple first time quilt for her son. She told me she will never make another. He brought it home for her to wash after a couple of months and she said it was filthy. I think he really hurt her feelings by not taking care of it. I'm positive he does not realize how much time went into that simple quilt. Rosa |
- Posted by geezerfolks (My Page) on Sun, Jan 17, 10 at 19:54
Judy, I put Insul-Brite (I think that's what it's called) in the middle. I have a few of those ugly hot pads myself. You'd think I'd do something about it! Rosa, What in the world did that boy use his quilt for? Your sister must have been shattered! I feel so sorry for her. |
I make hot mats with regular batting and put put overlapped pieces in the back and insert the rubbery hot mats inside. This way I can use them on my dining room table and they look nicer than hot plates. |

I adore these 'skull and cross bones' taps; they're perfect both for kids who want to play pirate in the bathtub, as well as for adults who appreciate their awesome style.
The skull taps come from a London shop owned by designer Stephen Inhorn which also creates the best breakable packaging in the world.
The pirates taps are not cheap, they start at around £200, but what price can you put on stylish and totally non-tacky awesomeness like this?

It was nice at the end of the day to enjoy a glass of wine. The breakfast, though it said it was continental, also provided a cold cut, cheese and boiled egg. I was particularly impressed with the L'Occitane amenities. keep up the good work.
We love dogs, but we found that as we were trying to sleep, the dog next door was whining or barking. This did stop when the owners arrived. Noise did quite clearly come through the doors at all hours. I'm not sure what the hotel can do about this as it's up to the guests to keep their voices down, especially at night time.
Staff, very friendly and helpful, breakfast, spacious room.
The bedding, there were just thin blankets, the rooms couldn't open.
Location and very good staff
Pillow Bathrooms door
Close proximity to tourist attractions, ie national mall
-Very quiet location; safe feeling. -Proximity to Capitol Building and easy walk to monuments / Mall / Smithsonian buildings / spy museum etc -1 block walk to 'Capitol South' metro - Free breakfast - Free parking for month of December! -Small dressing room in between bathroom & bed area had a full length mirror and was great for storing luggage, hanging coats & changing in private! -Close proximity to nearby restaurants: Burrito Brothers, Pizza Place, Sonoma etc -5 minute walk to Roland's grocery store on corners of 3rd & Pennsylvania great for basic groceries, meat, fruit/veg, alcohol etc. A bit pricey, but convenient. -Staff were accommodating; i requested use of a frying pan and they delivered it almost immediately.
-Only 2 chairs at dining table off kitchenette, where do the other 2 people sit? -Stove elements were in effective and did not heat properly -Only 2 glasses, mugs -No sharp knife for cutting, no serving utensils, snack-sized crockery
Superb staff almost treats you like family, without the stiff (and sometimes overly postured) interaction you often get at the high end chain hotels.
Can't think of a thing.
The location by The Supreme Court and Capitol Hill let's you start on one side of town and walk to the Lincoln Memorial and back. Great location with large rooms, free breakfast and an attentive staff in this boutique hotel.
Barking dog next to my room. I believe a room on a higher floor may have solved this problem. The hotel was very apologetic and offered to change my room.
Other guests on our floor were being rowdy and keeping us up at night, but the hotel staff dealt with the problem immediately and effectively. The staff were sympathetic to our other problems, but couldn't do anything about them. The location is also convenient as it is one block from the capitol south metro station.
The very worst part of the hotel was that the showers were cold. On our first day we were told this was a problem that was being fixed, but the problem persisted because even after the water heater was fixed, it was still not able to handle hotel capacity at busy periods (9am, etc). The breakfast buffet is "free", but nothing special. We also had a loud air conditioner and when it rained outside at night it was like being under a tin roof the rain was so loud.
Phenomenal location for anyone needing to be near the Library of Congress, the House of Representatives, or Capitol Hill in general
ventilation in bathrooms is missing
- Very friendly and helpfull staff - Comfortable, large rooms - Excellent location
These are just minor things; - WiFi was not always stable - Central heating was rather noisy
We loved being able to walk to the metro station two blocks away or walk a block the other direction and grab a bite to eat.
The hotel is perfectly situated within walking distance of the capitol and surrounding buildings. The breakfast was wonderful and very well tended to. Staff was extremely accommodating. There was never a wait for the elevators.
The room lighting was dim, only 2 desk lamps on the nightstands and one on the table when entering the room. 3/4 of the room didn't have good lighting at night. The bed linens would not stay on the bed, ie, top blanket was always on the floor, fitted sheet came loose from the corners, however the bed and pillows were very comfortable.
I loved the location, the happy hour, and breakfast!
The was nothing I did not like!
Friendly staff, comfortable rooms. Room was good for a trip with parents and two adult children. Nook for rollaway and dressing room outside bathroom provided space and privacy.
Rollaway bed was not comfortable.
Location was great. Staff was nice. Hotel was clean
Room states it slept 5. Really it was only 4. Although I pre-requested a rollaway we had to wait an hour at 11pm with tired children after traveling all day. They also charged extra for it without letting me know before hand. The couch/bed was VERY hard.
I loved everything about the room, the bed was so comfy. And we especially loved the breakfast it was great
Location good
It look better on photos than in real The door of the room did not lock it selv. When we came back to the room after we went out the door was unlocked.
Breakfast was good Beds were comfortable Rooms Were Clean Spacious Room Staff Was Amazing!
Microwave Didn't Work No Fan In The Bathroom So it Gets Hot and Steamy Internet Was Sporadic
Location and excellent staff.
Poor breakfast, rooms don't have sound insulation.
Staff were so friendly helpful and professional..they really are a huge asset to this hotel.Rooms were very spacious ,clean and well serviced with everything you needed. Breakfast was very nice and location was excellent.We would highly recommend this hotel being frequent travellers
Location was fantastic, close to Capitol and metro. Hotel was modern and neat. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a one bedroom suite at a great price which sleeps 5 comfortably (2 on queen sofa bed and 1 on rollaway at 25/night). Valet parking was very flexible. Breakfast was a very decent spread and always quickly replenished. There are also a couple of eateries closely. Enjoyed our stay very much.
Perfect location, good quality of accessories and furniture, very friendly staff, breakfast is delicious.
I can not say any bad thing...
Excellent location, just 1 block from the subway and the Circulator bus station, few minutes from Capitol, few blocks from Union Station and tha Washington Mall. Nice room with all necessary equipment, good breakfast, helpful staff for decent price. I would recommend it.
easy access to many sites 20 min walk to station safe, quiet neighbourhood pleasant atmosphere wine in library 5-6pm a bonus

15 September 2010
The actress Sienna Miller is poised to become the latest litigant to
join a growing queue of high-profile figures seeking damages from the
publishers of the News of the World newspaper over the illegal hacking
of voicemail messages.
It also emerged last night that Sean Hoare, the reporter whose testimony
was central to The New York Times's article that reignited the
phone-hacking controversy, has been interviewed by police under caution.
The favourite cover girl of magazine editors and the star of such films
as Alfie and Layer Cake is understood to have discovered that her mobile
phone was targeted by Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator hired by
the News of the World at a cost of =C2=A3100,000-a-year. Mulcaire was jailed
for six months in January 2007 for phone hacking.
Mulcaire admitted hacking into the voicemail messages of aides to the
royal family as well as several high-profile figures including Gordon
Taylor, the chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association
and Max Clifford, the publicist. Both Mr Taylor and Mr Clifford have
taken action against Rupert Murdoch's News Group, the publishers of the
News of the World, and both claims were settled out of court for around
=C2=A31m each.

reviews & comments (29)
These were delicious - light, airy, wonderful flavor. I did have just a couple of lumps of potato in my finished rolls, so I made a note to mash them better next time. :) Definitely a keeper! (Also, note that I ended up keeping mine in the fridge for over 19 hours before proceeding with the recipe - worked fine!)
The name is perfect for these for these tasty rolls. They have a lovely texture & are even good cold. Such an easy recipe! I was delighted to be able to put the dough together the night before & finish them the next evening for hot, fresh bread. I got rave reviews from all the dinner guests! On a technical note, I used rapid rise yeast mixed in with the flour & it worked great. Also put the potato through a ricer, it was a snap & produced a light, fluffy mashed potato that mixed easily with the rest of the ingredients. Definitely a keeper!
Oops. I copied this recipe down from my mom's magazine and I mistakenly added a full cup of potato water. I tried to pull my review but can't figure out how. Apologies for the error. I'm putting 4 forks here to cancel my 2 forks out. :-)
I had the same trouble as the reviewer from Pittsburgh. I think there is much too much liquid in the recipe. I added nearly a cup of flour and it was still way too wet. But I went against my instincts and made them anyway, and they collapsed when I put melted butter on before baking, didn't rise much during, and were pretty awful. I don't know if there's a mistake or what, but I make bread in my bread machine with 3 cups of flour and less than a cup of water. This is 2 2/3 cups of flour and a cup and a half of liquid? Plus whatever water is in the potatoes. If I made them again I'd skip adding the potato water, or just add it bit by bit.
Wonderful recipe. The only change I would make is to add a little more salt, otherwise, they turned out perfectly. To the reviewer who commented about the potato being lumpy, make sure that you boil your potato until really tender, almost falling apart when you fork it. I then added the butter and milk to the drained potato, and almost pureed it to a smooth consistency. Worked great. I also added additional flour during the kneading process, between 1/3 and 2/3 of a cup. These were really light, and tasted great! Enjoy
I made these and added 1/2 c. whole wheat flour. This made them not as "fluffy", but they were still light. Good flavor. I let them rise about 1/2 hr. after I shaped them, then froze half the batch for later use. Last night I pulled 5 of them out,put in oven and they were great. Not as good as 'fresh', but wonderful to have some fresh bread so quick.

The Farmhouse: World's charmingest Bed and Breakfast
We had been hiking on a rainy day, and were cold and wet. Eileen, the proprietress, brought us in, ignoring our muddy hiking gear, and warmed us up with hot tea. She showed us to a large comfy room and a warm bath. Then she reserved us a table at the pub (the Red Lion) down the road where we had a delicious dinner. The Farmhouse is a working farm. Eileen and her husband Peter have cattle (slightly off-site) and dogs on the porch. Her breakfast includes eggs from her own hens and sausage from the butcher down the street. They were local-vores long before the word was invented. Everything was delicious and Eileen and Peter were the most gracious hosts in the world. The B&B is completely charming and I would go back in a heartbeat.
The town (Long Compton) is as cute as towns get, with lots of old Cotswold-stone buildings. The countryside is gorgeous, with lots of good walking (It's on the Cross-Cotswold trail).

Ettington Chase 4*: Conference centre
Set in enormous, well-kept grounds, this hotel is actually a conference centre as well. It therefore lacks a little character, but is clean, friendly and has a swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi, as well as a therapy centre for massage etc. It is 5 minutes walk from the village of Ettington, where there are 2 nice traditional pubs, serving good food...one is Chequers and one is the White Lion.
Comfortable beds, clean, overly powered shower which kind of sand-blasts you clean, TV, tea and coffee making facilities (ie kettle and cups and spoons!).
Very nice buffet style breakfast.
Cost me £60 per night for a double room in Sept 2005.
Beautiful grounds, swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi.

CHESFORD GRANGE: Luxurious Weekend Getaway Spot
The Chesford Grange is conveniently located in Kenilworth - just down the road from Warwick and not far from Leamington Spa or Stratford. Although the luxury rooms are not huge, they are very modern and come with a lot of nice amenities such as plasma TVs and a large bathroom. There's a health spa and pool, plus an excellent dining room where we had a delicious dinner. The service was excellent at the hotel with a gracious staff. My only complaint was that the breakfast was way below the standard necessary for such a 3 or 4 star hotel with a fairly expensive room rate. They need to improve that meal. The hotel has a lot of special deals so it's good to ask about those.

Avon Guest House: Fab B&B in Warwick
Fantastic Service from booking to checkout. The room was very nice (not huge bathroom), and breakfast was lovely. About 10 -15 minute wl to the tow centre and 5-10 minutes to the Train Station. Certainly would stay here again.

Studley Castle: Not a Castle for Kings or Queens
We thought the photos on the website made it look an interesting building and we wanted to find a hotel located in the countryside so this Best Western, located about a mile out of the small town of Studley in the west of Warwickshire seemed ideal. Actually the hotel was perfectly fine and adequate and we did manage to get an exceedingly good rate for bed and breakfast but I think if we had paid the full rates we'd have felt somewhat disappointed.
The standard room was really quite small, although its bathroom was larger than expected. The bed was perfectly comfortable and the room was warm and the locks secure. Sadly there was no chair in the bedroom apart from a dressing table stool. There was plenty of hot water and we did eventually receive the promised bottled water. So the important things were catered for. However as a weekend break retreat the place seemed to lack character despite the large lounge, the tall tower near Reception ( we thought it looked like a water tower) and the high ceilinged dining room.
The evening meal we thought was overpriced at £18.95 for the main course however the buffet breakfasts were very good.
On the whole we enjoyed our stay but I guess we had hoped it might have been a wee bit more luxurious. Never mind with our discount it was really good value for money.

Recently, the board of Big Sky Economic Development unanimously endorsed the Yes for Kids initiative to support the three mill levies proposed by the Billings Public School District trustees. The bottom line for Big Sky Economic Development is that our public education system must be top-notch, with high expectations for student achievement, exceptional teachers and a committed, visionary board of trustees and administration.
Meeting this expectation is imperative for the continued economic growth of our community.
"The Communities That Invest in Education Win" is the headline from a recent economic development electronic newsletter that I receive each month, and it is so true. Cities and towns all over the nation working through our tough economic times are competing more than ever with one another for future jobs and growth. It will be those communities that invest in themselves that will be the place where families and talented workers want to live, work and raise their children. It will be those communities that attract new and expanding businesses — creating great job opportunities.
Billings has all the right ingredients to continue to be one of those winning communities. We just need to enhance our investment in our education system and stay focused on other quality of life investments.
While I don't have a child in School District 2, I personally have a responsibility to support our schools, making a critical investment in our children today and our economic well-being in the future. Please join me in voting Yes for Kids.

Picked up my new Glock 19 Gen4 today and ran 300 rounds through it. I had ZERO malfunctions of any kind. I love the new, slightly smaller grip as well as the agressive texture of the grip. Not nearly as bad as a KAHR and no need for skateboard sandpaper on the handle. I did notice the Gen4 shoots a tad softer than my Gen3, no doubt due to the double recoil spring assembly. The new larger mag release is great, it is much wider than the old one and doesn't stick out nearly as far as the mag release mod I have on my Gen3. Mine as well as all of the 19's and 23's had the 04 spring in them which tells me that Glock seemed to work out the issue.
The rounds fired were:
50 Federal 115
50 Gold Dots 124 +P
50 Ranger T's 127+P+
One thing that REALLY surprised me was the accuracy of the weapon as opposed to my Gen3's... I know that Glock is not a target weapon, but you wouldn't know it by some of my groups today...
Oh, that 1 "flyer" in the pic.... ummmmmmm, yeah, oooops....lost my concentration when the guy shooting his .45 decided to rapid fire...lol Damn .45's!!! I tried to tell him 9mm were better...
