April 29, 2014 – The call for PASS Nomination Committee applications opens in just two weeks. Thinking about throwing your hat into the elections ring for this year's three community NomCom seats? Here's some information to help you get ready.
The NomCom manages the PASS Board of Directors elections process, qualifying, interviewing, and ranking potential candidates. A final slate is then submitted to the Board for approval. In addition, this year's NomCom is charged with streamlining the process for involving and evaluating candidates and with enhancing opportunities for community engagement in the elections.
Immediate Past President Bill Graziano will chair the five-member NomCom, which will include three elected community representatives reflecting the three seats up for election on the PASS Board this year: one US/Canada seat and two open seats. A representative appointed by the PASS Board will round out the committee.
To be eligible to run for the NomCom, candidates must have a demonstrable track record of volunteering with PASS – such as serving as a Regional Mentor, Chapter or Virtual Chapter Leader, or Program Committee member – and participating in other volunteer endeavors. Note that as an essential part of the PASS Board elections process, the NomCom requires significant time and effort. By applying for the NomCom, applicants agree to the time commitments of the entire general election process, including Board applicant interviews.
Thinking of running?
"There is no better way to contribute to the health of the PASS community than serving on the NomCom," notes PASS Regional Mentor Ryan Adams, who served on last year's committee. "You are vetting the future directors of the organization, who will provide strategic guidance, long-term growth, and stability to the community we love. It's not just an opportunity to interview and ensure solid and motivated candidates for the community, it's also a responsibility that has immense rewards."
Fellow 2013 NomCom member Erin Stellato adds that serving the SQL Server community through the NomCom is about more than giving back. "It's about having the opportunity to really get to know the community members who choose to run for the Board, and then taking that information and helping the greater community decide who the best people are for the job," she says. "The NomCom also gives you the chance to better understand the PASS organization as a whole and starts the wheels turning about other ways you can make a difference."
Remember that to be eligible to vote in the NomCom and PASS Board elections, members must update their PASS profile by June 1. Whether you join the conversation about how to improve the organization, support your favorite candidates and vote, or run for office yourself, please get involved and help shape the future of PASS.
For more information about PASS's elections process and running for the NomCom, contact PASS HQ Governance Administrator Janice Simpson.
April 1, 2014 – Mark your calendar: An early Nomination Committee (NomCom) process will kick off this year's PASS elections season, with applications opening in May for three community seats on the team that will manage the Board of Directors elections. The 2014 NomCom will also be working to streamline and improve our elections process for candidates and members alike.
As Immediate Past President, I'll be chairing the five-member NomCom, which includes three elected community representatives who will reflect the three seats up for election on the PASS Board this year: one US/Canada seat and two open seats. A representative appointed by the PASS Board will round out the committee.
In addition to managing the Board elections, this year's NomCom is charged with streamlining the process for involving and evaluating candidates and with enhancing opportunities for community engagement in the elections.
To give us time to discuss and implement any changes, the NomCom elections season will occur earlier this year, with NomCom applications opening May 14 and elections running June 3-6. Once seated, the NomCom will meet regularly from June 9-July 25 before Board applications open in early August and will participate in candidate interviews from August 27 to September 12.
To be eligible to run for the NomCom, candidates must have a demonstrable track record of volunteering with PASS – such as serving as a Regional Mentor, Chapter or Virtual Chapter Leader, or Program Committee member – and participating in other volunteer endeavors. Note that as an essential part of the PASS Board elections process, the NomCom requires significant time and effort.
Remember that to be eligible to vote in the NomCom and PASS Board elections, members must update their PASS profile by June 1, 2014. Many of you have already completed your myProfile information, which helps PASS better serve your interests and allows us to do our due diligence in ensuring that eligible voters receive only one ballot. If you haven't already, I encourage you to update your myProfile today!
Serving on the NomCom is one of the most rewarding ways to give back to the PASS community and be involved in helping shape the future of our organization. Have questions about what's involved in running for and serving on the PASS NomCom? Don't hesitate to reach out to me or PASS HQ Governance Administrator Janice Simpson. – Bill Graziano Immediate Past President/NomCom Chair
January 7, 2014 – The 2013 elections cycle highlighted some issues with how ballots are generated for the annual PASS Board of Directors elections. Historically, all PASS members – identified as those for whom we have a unique email address – have been eligible to vote. Under this broad definition, however, it is common for members to have multiple unique email addresses in the system and to thus receive multiple ballots.
In an effort to reduce the number of duplicate ballots sent out, the PASS Board has established more specific eligibility requirements for voting. In a recent meeting, the Board agreed that to receive a ballot, members must have a completed PASS profile.
PASS has added new fields to the myProfile section of sqlpass.org to help us better serve the community. The additional information will also help us de-dupe member data for eligible voters before sending ballots. As part of a new membership drive, we are encouraging all members to update or fill out their profiles and review them for completeness and accuracy.
All members who complete their profiles – including the new fields – by June 1, 2014, will receive a ballot to vote in the PASS elections, with one caveat: All completed profiles will be checked for duplication, and those identified as duplicate will be eliminated from the ballot send out.
Looking forward to your feedback on this change in voter eligibility, and please complete or set up your profile as soon as you can! –Bill Graziano Immediate Past President
October 29, 2013 – The annual PASS Board of Directors Q&A session at PASS Summit 2013 covered the recent PASS Board elections, hosting PASS Summit outside of Seattle, and the PASS organization privacy policy, among other topics. All current PASS Board members were on stage to help answer questions from the community. Here's a quick recap of the top three questions and answers: Q: There are concerns in the community that duplicate votes occurred in the recent PASS Board elections. How did PASS review the votes, and how did this affect the election results? A: The election results remain unchanged even when taking duplicates into account. Eligible voters were determined by unique email address and date entered into the system. All submitted ballots were compared to registration lists for paid PASS events. Duplicate ballots were discovered based on first name, last name, and address. Ballots were also compared to our membership data (people who fill in the member profile on sqlpass.org), and additional duplicates were uncovered based on identical first and last name and identical voting pattern.
Q: What are PASS's plans to host another Summit event outside of the Seattle area? A: This Summit in Charlotte, NC, is the first time we've been out of Seattle since 2007! It has been a great success, but we are going to spend some time analyzing the pros and cons of hosting outside of Seattle before we decide to move to different locations. Booking facilities for events of this size happens years in advance, and we are booked in the Seattle area for the next 3 years. Q: There was some confusion among PASS Chapter leaders about how to reach out to local SQLSaturday event registrants. A: Any Chapter Leader involved in organizing a SQLSaturday event may use the SQLSaturday sponsor opt-in list to append registrant contact information to their Chapter email list.
October 3, 2013 – PASS is aware of the issue around duplicate ballots in the most recent election. After voting closed, PASS reviewed and analyzed all submitted ballots, and we confidently stand behind the final election result. We are also actively discussing ways we can improve the process prior to the next election cycle. Please bring your questions and ideas to the Board Q&A on Friday, Oct. 18, at PASS Summit. If you can't attend, feel free to submit your questions the week of Summit (Oct. 15-18) via Twitter using #passvotes or email us at email@example.com.
By Erin Stellato Cross-posted from Erin's The SQL Sequel blog August 8, 2013 – Yesterday, August 7, was the last day to submit applications for the PASS Board of Directors election. I have the honor of serving on the Nomination Committee this year, and while there is very little I can disclose, I do want to take a moment to extend a heartfelt thank you to those that submitted an application for a Board of Directors position. Thank you for taking the time to complete the application, I know it can be daunting. Thank you for taking the time to think through what you want to see happen as a Board member. Whether you are elected or not, I hope that you will still endeavor to make those things happen. Thank you for talking to your friends and colleagues and asking them to be references for you (and thank you to those that agreed to do so). And thank you, in advance, for committing additional time to meet with the NomCom to share your story and your goals. When you run for any office, or any board, in any arena, you take a risk. You become vulnerable, and you put your own name out there for discussion. That takes courage, and I applaud all of you for stepping forward and taking a risk so that you may serve the SQL Server community as a member of the PASS Board. I wish all of you the best, and I am confident that three very qualified individuals will fill the Board positions this year. Good luck!
by Thomas LaRock July 26, 2013 – Last week's Executive Committee election saw myself (Thomas LaRock), Adam Jorgensen, and Denise McInerney join the 2014 PASS ExecCo team as President, Executive Vice President Finance, and Vice President Marketing, respectively. Along with Bill Graziano as Immediate Past President, we will serve the community for 2 years beginning January 1, 2014.
As part of the ExecCo elections process, we were asked to outline and discuss our vision for PASS for the next 2 years and beyond. When the elections were over we compared notes on the handful of items we feel are most important. The ones we believe deserve the most attention include:
Thoughtful comments and questions in a recent blog post by Kevin Kline spurred this post. Kevin mentions two additional initiatives he'd like to see the new ExecCo focus on: a better volunteer structure and process and improved utilization of social media. A PASS Volunteers portfolio was established at the start of the year, headed by PASS Board Director Sri Sridharan. Efforts are underway to better help PASS identify active volunteers and to provide a mechanism for PASS HQ and community leaders to publish volunteer opportunities. Look for updates on this project during PASS Summit 2013. Kevin's comments about PASS's use of social media have not gone unnoticed, and the marketing team is looking at ways to take better advantage of all social media opportunities. You can expect to see more of PASS through various social media channels over the next 2 years. So what are your thoughts about the direction we're working on for PASS? Have feedback or suggestions? Drop the 2014 ExecCo Elect a note with your comments or post a response below.
July 18, 2013 – The PASS Board of Directors elected a new Executive Committee today at the in-person Board meeting in Kansas City. The following officers were elected to a 2-year term that begins on January 1, 2014. Congratulations to:
Current PASS President Bill Graziano will remain on the ExecCo as Immediate Past President.
According to the PASS bylaws, any PASS Board member can stand for the Executive Vice President and Vice President, Marketing roles. The role of President must be filled by a Board member who has previously served one term as a PASS Board officer. A reminder that applications for three seats on the PASS Board open next week – watch for the announcement on July 24. If you have a passion for the PASS community and desire to serve our members, we encourage you to apply.

May 28, 2013 – With the election season for the PASS Board of Directors fast approaching, there will be three seats up for grabs in September. These seats will represent US/Canada, EMEA, and one open seat. As such, the Nomination Committee (NomCom) will reflect the composition of the 2013 Board elections. The NomCom will be composed of five members and chaired by Immediate Past President, Rushabh Mehta. One of these positions will be filled by a member of the Board of Directors, and the final three members of the NomCom will be elected by the PASS community.
Being a member of the NomCom is an exciting opportunity. Members of the NomCom get a behind-the-scene experience with the Board of Directors election process, using their knowledge and previous volunteer experience with PASS to review applications for candidacy of the Board according to process and criteria outlined by the Board of Directors. Once complete, the NomCom then presents a list of recommended candidates to the Board of Directors, which then approves the final slate. Think you might be up for the job? The NomCom election process starts with an application, opening June 12 and closing June 19. Stay in the know and watch the next issue of the Connector for application information.
April 16, 2013 – Last week was important for PASS. Not only did we hold our first Business Analytics Conference, but the PASS Board of Directors also unanimously passed two motions that enable PASS to take the next steps in growing the organization's international reach and influence.
Our focus was to increase the international makeup and perspective of the PASS Board, by voting to:
With the EMEA slot, the 2013 elections will have two seats reserved for specific regional representation: one for the US/Canada and one for EMEA. The recent PASS by-law changes already convert one Director-at-Large seat to a regional seat specifically designated for the US/Canada region every other year. However, the Board had to vote separately to convert another Director-at-Large seat to an EMEA seat.
By aligning the three elected NomCom community seats to match the Board seats that will be up for election this year, we help encourage balance, international influence, and local investment in both the NomCom and the Board elections.
Thank you to everyone who shared feedback and suggestions about streamlining and improving our elections process for candidates and members alike.
As we focus on engaging more qualified candidates and a more invested, involved electorate, we will also create a PASS election ethics and process guidelines document. It will address and clarify existing processes so that community members and candidates know what is expected of them and what to expect during the elections.
With these important steps toward gaining more international perspective on the PASS Board and improving and refreshing our elections processes, I think we can all expect great things.
Thank you for your time, JRJ

Wonderful stay, beautiful setting just steps from the Erie canal with lots of history and immaculate gardens. Gourmet breakfast was outstanding. The innkeepers are a nice couple.

We stayed here in 2010 as our son was a freshman at University of Rochester and we came up during Family and Alumnae weekend. The location is beautiful, right along the canal. Pictures of the tree right in front of the Inn do not do it justice. The food was great and Dave had such fascinating stories about the area and the inn's history. They were also a great help with some interesting places to visit and directed us to a beautiful waterfall in a small town.

We stayed one night here while biking the Erie Canal. It was such a nice place to stay. the rooms were beautiful and comfortable. We really enjoyed sitting on their back porch, in the shade reading and watching the activity on the canal. Would definitely recommend staying here.

My wife and I went to Adams Basin Inn for 2 nights to celebrate our anniversary. There were several reasons why we selected Adams Basin. We both love to bicycle and kayak. The proximity to the Erie Canal provided us with easy access to both. Aside from enjoying the bike trail and canal, I have to say that after staying at numerous B&Bs, this has become our favorite. The room was spotless, the breakfasts were superb, and Pat and Dave (the owners) were absolutely fantastic. I guess the true test of whether you like a place or not is are you willing to go back and recommend it to a friend. We've already made our reservations for a return visit next August, and my wife's sister will be going as well. Need I say more?

Pensions and other post-retirement benefits will continue to be a growing concern for municipal governments and muni investors for years to come, says Morningstar municipal credit analyst Rachel Barkley.
Munis have faced both interest rate and credit risk pressures, but at current levels, this varied asset class is worth considering, especially for those in higher tax brackets, say Morningstar's Candice Lee and Eric Jacobson.
Despite their extra income, nonrated municipal bonds can expose investors to lower-credit-quality, less-liquid issues with a tremendous research requirement, says Morningstar's Eric Jacobson.
ETFs can be great vehicles for accessing core, liquid areas of the market, but they have more issues in MLPs and illiquid underlying assets, like high-yield bonds .

Disney Lollipop packs?
Hi! I'm trying to plan out goody bags for DD's birthday party that happens to be a few days after we return from WDW (poor planning there, ha!). I figured it might be fun to have something from WDW in them. :) In my memory, I feel like there used to be bags of small lollipops (unicorn kind?) or "bouquets" of other lollipops available. Do these still exist, and if they do, anyone know how much they are for what you get?
(Sorry if this is the wrong board, I couldn't figure out which to post on!) |
There are bundles of little Mickey Mouse-shaped lollipops. Those are 5 for around $5. I don't remember an exact price.
I know there is a phone number that you can call and they can ship you things from the parks. I actually had these suckers mailed to me a couple of yrs ago. I think it was like 6 mickey heads for like $5.95 or so. I'm sure there is someone on the board that can get you the merchandise phone number
Thanks! I'll find them when I go, and they don't sound super pricey so perfect. :)
they have mini twist one that come 6 in a bag for 4.95. I think it' s red bag made by goofy candy co. if u have any snack credits left u can use them.
A budget-friendly alternative may be to visit your local Walgreens. I've seen Disney themed candy there now and then, and they may have lollipops of some kind you could use. |

Monkfish with Spicy Garlic Vinaigrette
This delicious main dish hails from the Basque province of Vizcaya. Chef Teresa Barrenechea of the Marichu Restaurant & Tapas Bar in New York City says it can be made with other fish, such as tuna or red snapper. Serve with scalloped, pureed or mashed potatoes.
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 pounds cleaned monkfish fillets, cut crosswise into 1-inch medallions
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with the lemon juice and salt. Stir to dissolve the salt.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, dip half of the monkfish in the oil marinade. Place the medallions in the skillet without touching and sear, turning once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a warm platter. Repeat with the remaining medallions.
- Wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons oil and warm over moderate heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the red pepper and vinegar.
- Pour the sauce over the fish and sprinkle the parsley on top.

Today's digital environment allows quick deletion of digital photos and emails, but the proliferation of digital possessions makes erasing a relationship a difficult proposition.
A new research study investigates how an individual can manage the digital records of an ex, across multiple devices, applications, web-services, and platforms
"People are keeping huge collections of digital possessions," said Dr. Steve Whittaker, a psychology professor at the University of California – Santa Cruz who specializes in human-computer interaction.
"There has been little exploration of the negative role of digital possessions when people want to forget aspects of their lives."
In a new paper, Whittaker and co-author Corina Sas, Ph.D., of Lancaster University, examine the challenges of digital possessions and their disposal after a romantic breakup.
Digital possessions can include photos, messages, music, and video stored across multiple devices such as computers, tablets, phones, and cameras. This digital ubiquity "creates problems during a breakup, as people 'inhabit' their digital space where photos and music constantly remind them about their prior relationship," Whittaker said.
Researchers interviewed 24 young people between the ages of 19 and 34, and found that digital possessions after a breakup are often evocative and upsetting, leading to distinct disposal strategies.
Twelve of the subjects were deleters; eight were keepers, and four others were selective disposers.
Some of the heartbroken may want to forget but are "extremely resistant to actual deletion," Whittaker and Sas found, most often the "dumpees." Others later regret disposing of everything.
Disposal is made more difficult today because "digital possessions are in vast collections spread across multiple devices, applications, web-services, and platforms," they write.
"When the relationship is good, this promotes a rich digital life. But when it sours, people have to systematically cull collections across multiple digital spaces."
Facebook photos can be untagged but not deleted if posted by someone else. "It's time-consuming and emotionally taxing because people tend to re-engage with possessions, especially photos," they noted.
Some of the initial tactics encountered: changing one's relationship status to "single," immediately unfriending or blocking an ex-partner's access to ones' profile.
Whittaker and Sas propose that software solutions might help scrub cyberspace of painful memories, for instance automatic "harvesting" using facial recognition, machine learning or entity extraction.
Or just a holding pattern until a cooler head prevails.
"A lack of disposal tools meant most participants either kept, or disposed of everything," they said. "Keepers took longer to heal, disposers often regretted their impulsiveness."
The authors propose a "Pandora's Box" that could automatically scoop up all the digital artifacts of a relationship, put them in a single place for later strategic deleting or retention. Or a trusted friend could be put in the position as a gatekeeper.
Or there could be new tools for active selection from collections of digital possessions to create a "treasure chest" of valuable items that may be retained for later happy memories.
Researchers say the new digital age brings a new set of relationship-ending challenges. Comments from study participants included:

She's Gotta Have It—Now! Decoding Omnichannel Retailing For Your Spa
By: Annet King
Posted: April 1, 2014, from the April 2014 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 3 of 6
1. Be sure that your team members look happy. Their apparent attitude does influence sales.
2. Be sure that your team members look busy. Perhaps a primary reason that traditional bookstores have tragically failed—the retail bookselling environment became too much like a 19th century library. Silent, churchlike stillness, and stacks of dusty, musty merchandise with one bored clerk sitting behind the cash register, glasses perched at the tip of the nose, reading a book. Even libraries today are dynamic in the online sphere.
3. Be sure that your skin care facility looks unique, active, alive, lit-up, and provokes curiosity and interest. Change your theme often—your clients want to see something fresh each time they visit, so that's at least once a month. Play music, create and offer events, get your team members out on the floor. It's a party, and they should be dancing—not absorbed in a screen or worse, looking into a mirror at their own skin or hair.
One thing the in-store experience clearly offers is immediacy. Even the best online retailer needs a day or two—or more—to get it to a buyer. This is the key advantage of the in-store experience: You are live and in her physical presence with the ability to give her what she wants within a few minutes of her locating, identifying and committing to her purchase. Build upon this immediacy.
6 trends to hop on today
Following are six current trends, and the ways in which you should be interacting with your omnichannel clients in order to compete with online retailers.

Local businesses "purchase" a tree to decorate. Funds raised go to charities and we get to see a lot of decorated trees together.

My husband, Rick, & I live in Quincy. Our town is right by the great Mississippi River. For fun we love to boat. Any day on the water is better than any day on dirt! We enjoy spending time at the Island Club (that's a camp on an island in the river) with our boating friends. Everyone likes to try new dishes & drinks. I have already found some recipes that I look forward to trying . Our friends love to be ginny pigs for new recipes! I am a cookbook nut, have over 500! Yes, I do use them. Now I mostly save recipes at sites like this! That takes up no room here at home!! Rick is happy with that!
Favorite foods? I'll try almost anything. If I have too narrow it down ...Italian and Mexican and well its all good!
Favorite restaurant is easy, Tiramisu'. That is an Italian restaurant here in Quincy that is out of this world. Very much like the food I grew up with.

Poor service coupled with average food. But I have heard mixed reviews. I would not write this place off per se. I just don't know if when we visited it was an off night. Good menu in a nice location which is central.
Poor service coupled with average food. But I have heard mixed reviews. I would not write this place off per se. I just don't know if when we visited it was an off night. Good menu in a nice location which is central.
discovered beluga many years ago through a friend at work, I enjoyed it so much i brough my now wife here to propose, great romantic atmosphere or grab a large lable for lots of friends, its all good, and the food is excellent
I went along for a cheap and cheerful night out. The food was very bland and forgettable. Unfortunately cheap equaled a poor experience.
Very nice restaurant. Staff very attentive. Good choice on the menu. Nice place to eat.Good value for city centre location
didnt have the cocktails in the teapot which we was looking forward to got offered a bellini which was just okay! poor sandwiches too :(
The dots say it all - nothing special, and the staff not as friendly as the Beluga in Bramhall. A place to visit if you fancy a drink and a bite to eat while shopping, but not a place to book for a special occassion.
We booked a works christmas party there in 2011 and it was unlimited wine for the 2 hours of the meal...there is also a bar upstairs where we went for drinks after the meal. The staff was friendly and the roast dinner was goregous too!
We visited Beluga as part of a Groupon voucher for a family meal. The choice given was great and the food was lovely! It had a lot of parties the night we visited and with just 2 staff was left waiting with dirty plates a while. However i would definately go back.
Never had a bad meal yet.. I think groupon will refund so be patient.
I purchased a Groupon deal in March for "Afternoon Tea with a Twist for Two" at Beluga, and duly booked a table for my Birthday. I was excited to go, as I had heard great things about the place. We arrived with plenty of time, and were shown downstairs. The furnishing were shabby, to say the least - and certainly... More

Sounds like he's trying to establish the pecking order. One of our senior mares kept the other senior mare herded away from the other horses. Pinning ears, charging, kicking. She tried that on the new junior mare. Junior mare has shoes on because I was showing her. Junior mare taught the senior mare it wasn't nice to mess with her. It is better to let them get use to each other without them having a free for all. But unless you plan to keep them separate all the time, some of it is just going to have to be worked out between them. |

Every month, Style Arc give you their free pattern of the month with your order of another pattern. In August, I received the Brenda pattern and thought it was perfect fora piece of border print cotton voile that I had in my stash. I saw a shirt in a designer magazine that had used the border print at the top of the shirt rather than at the bottom, so I thought I would try this for a change and I am happy with the result. This pattern wasn't as well fitting as other Style Arc patterns so I had to remove the front darts to make it fit. but other from that, it is a lovely style.

Wow, what a great way to use a border print!
Oct 29, 2013, 10.58 AMby schnui
Thanks Diana. I was looking through a magazine featuring some designer blouses and saw that the border print fabric was used in this way. I had this fabric and decided to try it out. The cotton voile is a little thin for a structured blouse but I wanted to use fabric in my stash.

The northeast monsoon, a boon for the city, continues to be a bane for city roads. Following the recent rain, several roads, particularly in the interior areas, have been damaged, making it very difficult for motorists.
What is it that makes some roads more vulnerable than others? Is it about quality or poor maintenance? The intervention by the Chennai Corporation is expected to make roads better, but the long wait of motorists for roads that are capable of enduring the test of the monsoon is bothering many of them .
"People who ride motorcycles are the worst affected. Bad roads are responsible for more strain on the spinal cord with long-term health risks. It also affects the vehicle," said A.Rajan, a resident of Nungambakkam, who uses a two-wheeler to commute to his bank in Parrys.
However, there was no water logging in the subway near Loyola College this year, he said. "Similar efforts have to be taken by the civic body to make the road surface smoother."
Mu.Mohan, one of the contractors of the Chennai Corporation said, "If the civic body ensures service ducts in all roads, we are ready to guarantee a smooth, pothole-free road for five-years."
Contractors of the damaged road are asked by the civic body to rectify the defects in a week's time. If they fail to execute the work, they are disqualified from being part of the list of more than 400 contractors, he said.
According to experts, focus on monitoring of minor aspects such as avoiding overheating of bitumen to lay roads easily, removal of encroachments on roads, provision of surface drainage and use of quality and unadulterated mix for roads would improve conditions. Eliminating the basic flaws in road laying would help, he says.
S.Pandian, president, Paver Finishing Road Builders' Association, said road specification had not been changed in proportion to the rise in the number of vehicles. During rain, when vehicles move slowly due to water stagnation, there is further pressure on roads, leading to more damage. Earlier, the top layer of the road was 40-mm thick. It has now been reduced to 25 mm. Similarly, the layer below, made of bigger blue metal stones, was 70-mm thick and has been reduced to 50 mm.
I.V. Sashi Kumar, secretary of Exnora Club of Anna Nagar, said several roads dug up by Metrowater in Anna Nagar were neither re-laid nor filled up properly after completion of work. Proper care should be taken while digging up roads and officials and workers should be made accountable for faulty work, he said.
J.Balaji, a resident of Thiru Vi Ka Nagar, asked when roads such as Rajaji Salai and Kamarajar Salai last long, why other roads in the city are not laid well. "There are some stretches, especially in north Chennai, that remain bad throughout the year. These could be made concrete to prevent frequent relaying," he said.
A road expert, who did not want to be named, said that using building debris for filling pot holes was not in the list of approved filling materials. Either red earth or hot mix must be used, he said.
Lalitha of Santhome said a large number of roads, including 5th Avenue Anna Nagar, Spurtank Road, L.B. Road, Greenways Road, 2nd Avenue Besant Nagar, Pantheon Road, Tiruvottiyur High Road and S N Chetty Road in north Chennai and CTH Road, were in bad shape this year.
"If the authorities concerned had ensured that storm water drains were desilted before, rainwater would not have stagnated," she said.
Chennai Corporation Commissioner Rajesh Lakhoni said damaged road surfaces were being scrapped so that movement of vehicles would not be impeded much. Cold milling would help reduce the cost of relaying roads. "We have identified 28 very bad stretches of 50–100 metres that need attention. We are now planning to include the rule that the contractor, who laid the road, has to maintain it for one year. If potholes are formed after the rain they will be asked to restore the road from their own funds."

Our inside source tells us that Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise in order to protect their daughter Suri, 6, from Scientology.

According to TMZ, Katie, 33, filed for divorce from Tom, 49, who was "blindsided" by her move and "did not see this coming." Their report adds that this divorce is from some "nastiness."

I always hate to hear the words divorce ESP when their are children. If a married couple can't live & love each other it's always best to device. Exposing children to fighting is very frightening and causes nightmares. How well I know coming from parents that divorced, really messed with my mind along time. There are reasons which is supposedly due to religion, I don't know (rumers) but one should always get on with their lives.The word God has been removed from almost everything even the word higher power seems to damage inner ears. Leave it to the judge. Kate can take care of herself shes a great actor & woman. Tom seems to have had a LONG run with women before he married this tall beauty. She is a very loving mother and only wants what is best for her daughter. The only thing is little girls ESP really love daddy unless he has damaged the relationship in some way. Lets watch it play out in court. Stop the cameras & finger shaking, mind your own business lord knows if your not then who is? Just my opinion.

All races, all cars, and custom carsNote: This procedure requires editing a game file; creating a backup copy of the file before proceeding is recommended. Delete the "player0.sav" file in the "players" folder in the main game folder. |
Farthest jump in San FranciscoWhile in the Panoz GTR-1, go to the winding red road that has flowers around it; on the map in the lower right hand corner, it will look like a winding green road. Go up the path and go down the other side, all the way to the tunnel in the grass. Turn around and drive up the steep incline. Note: You can go off the jump at an angle to land inside a group of buildings. You cannot get out from inside. |
See other buildings under a buildingChoose any car (buses and tall vehicles not recommended). Go to the white line squiggle hill on the map. If you are at the top, drive down to the bottom. Use the gray path (not red). Once at the bottom, turn right, then make another right turn at the very next hill. At the bottom you will see a small pink house with a door and squared garage door.

You will fall right through and sometimes start on top of a building. |
Jump on and over buildingsUse a fast car such as the Panoz Roadster, Panoz Gtr-1, or Ford Mustang. Go to the part on the map where there is a white squiggly road. Your car should be facing down that hill. Go straight down the hill in front of you and stop once you reach the grass. If you went the correct way, turn around so that you are facing the hill that you came down. Next, back-up through the yellow "signs" slightly, then drive very fast up that hill in the middle. When halfway to the top, go slightly to the right. If you are fast enough, you will fly above some buildings and will land at the next road. If done slightly slower, you will get above them.

Then, you can rotate, flip, and zoom in by pressing INSERT, DELETE, HOME, END, PAGE UP, and Page Down. Some will allow you to zoom in, zoom out, rotate your view of your car 360 degrees, and to flip the world so you can see the underside of the ground, and also zoom out and rotate your view so that it is directly looking down on your car, thus creating a helicopter view. |
Jump building to buildingThere is a building that looks like a mall in the north part of the map. Go in it and go up the ramp inside to get on top of what looks like a parking garage. As you turn around the ramp used to up there you will see a steep angled roof. You can drive up to the very tip of that roof, where you can just fall off or roof jump to other buildings. |
Land on the rooftop in San FranciscoGo to the bus terminal-like building and get to the upper level and turn. Depending on how you got there, it will take some time to learn which window at either end of the building to smash. If you hit the correct one, you will fly onto a roof. |
Get on top of building in San FranciscoPlay in San Francisco in Cruise mode with a Ford Mustang Cruiser. When the cruise starts, you will often start with a place where there is a cop on your left and the sea. Drive straight ahead and take the first left turn. Only drive a few more yards. To your right you should see a small opening to a building near a little pond. Get in there. Once inside, there should be a way up. Go there to see a slanted building that you can drive on. Drive on it by going on the edge in the direction from where you entered the top, with a little speed. You should be on top of the building. |
Sliding policeGet in the fire truck, flip a police car on its side, and push it along on a grassy area. It will soon go faster and faster and will slide away at 100mph. If it survives, it will return to chase you, hit head on, and go up in the air. If done in San Francisco under the Golden Gate Bridge, it will flip up onto it. |
Hidden area in San FranciscoSelect the Panoz GTR-1, then drive as fast as you can down the Golden Gate bridge. When you hit about 200 mph your car will start to bump on the road. There is a spot in the road to the right at the end of the bridge where it will shoot you up in the air if hit just right. This will shoot you over the tunnel. You can then drive over the hill and out into a huge open area that you are not supposed to be able to reach. Note: This may require a few attempts. |
American Lafrance Fire TruckPlace in first, second, or third in five San Francisco Blitz races. Note: Finish if first place if playing in professional mode. |
High flying trucksGet in the AmericanLaFrance fire truck and when you reach over 30 mph, hit another truck that says "Ande's Furniture", "U move"," Big Move", or "Produce" squarely in the rear. It will flip high into the air. |
Over twenty flips in the air in LondonChoose the VW New Beetle Dune. Go to the large grassy area that has the pond. Near the bridge that is over the pond, there is a building that resembles a needle pointing towards the sky (it has small sloped sides). Go around the big pink building at full speed and face the needle building. Accelerate and hit the needle building from a side and you will start to flip rapidly. You will keep flipping until you land on your wheels. |
Go through a building on San FranciscoStart in Cruise mode in San Francisco with the Panoz Gtr-1. When you start, there are police and the ocean to your right. Go to your right and find the grey building. Go to the end part with the black windows, then drive through it. |
Drop under Golden Gate Bridge on San FranciscoSelect a GTR-1 and go to the San Francisco level. Drive towards the Golden Gate Bridge and head to the end of the bridge. Stop at the very end, where the orange rope metal goes into the ground. Face to the left side of the bridge (if you were facing the tunnel at first). Notice where the metal rope goes into the ground. Back up where that metal rope is located, then back up against the wall/guard rail. You now will see the right side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Make sure your car is on the right side of the metal rope, about five feet away from the rope, opposite of the tunnel. Hold reverse and wait five or ten seconds. You will drop under the bridge. |
All cars-Type Y in Cruise mode and type midtowncars. End the race. Go to the race menu and you should have all cars. |
Teleporting carGo to the top of the white line squiggle hill on the map. The back of your car should be facing down that hill. In front of you will be a yellow house with vines by the door. Go down the hill on the left-hand sidewalk. If done correctly, your car will fall down under the sidewalk. It appears as if you are in the sky. Then, your car will be back where you started. Note: This may take several attempts and works well with any flat type of car (Panoz Gtr-1 recommended). |

Odd Problem
- 01-19-2008 #2
If you look on the OpenSUSE website there are a number of ways to install, but I think investing in a couple of CDs or DVDs is likely to be the easiest option.

I agree with Jonathan183 that picking up a few blank CDs is probably the easiest route, but you can look at this HowTo if you really want to try installing from one machine to another.
- 01-20-2008 #4
The main problem that I have with blank cd's is that I live in a small town and the closest to getting some are about 30 miles away. I am too young to drive, so it's very difficult to get. Also, i managed to find 1 blank cd and tried burning Mandrivia on it but somehow it failed at about 98% and so I am forced back to square 1.

My dA story[Wow, it's been ages since I wrote a journal, so I thought this little bandwagon would be the perfect opportunity to do that.]I joined dA in 2006. I was 16, a sophomore in high school.A friend of mine suggested it offhand, and I had been posting my first ventures into digital art on forums for a private server of Ragnorok Online, so I thought to myself "why not! Let's see what this is all about."I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but the moment I first started posting, I could feel something change. Having people interested in your art and stories was so motivating; it was unlike anything I had ever had in person with family or friends. Up until I joined, I'd never really taken my art seriously.I was on here for a year before I started concepting SalaDays, a slapstick story about supernatural teens in school. A lot of people showed interest, so I started up a webcomic (and even opened up

Chasm Crossing Update#7 (gifs and pics)This is where things will get more quiet on my end and slow. Some of you are familiar with this stage, but this is the time where an animator is fairly busy with behind the scenes stuff. We aren't necessarily inactive, but we aren't also showing too much work or things we're working on. I may throw up a few screen caps here in journals or on my main deviantart to keep the audience knowing that I'm working on the project. Even so, I'm going to keep those few and sparse as to not spoil anything >.>There is alot of content to be drawn and animated. I'm in the stage where I'm starting to lock some scenes down for animation. The first 30 seconds of CC is almost done (gotta finish dem backgrounds), but that's such a small number in comparison to the rest of the project T.TAlong with animating, there comes to audio cutting of dialogue which I recently found taxing. If I'm not animating, I'm cutting audio. If I'm not cutting audio, I'm story-boarding. If I'm not story-boarding, I'm lineartin
Decoding the Lit CommunityHi All!I think most of my watchers have some level of involvement in the lit community, but after a series of polls, I discovered that some of my watchers are not as involved and would like to be more so, or do not know how to go about 'breaking in'. So, I decided to draw up a little cheat sheet for you, I hope it helps! A few things about the Lit Community I feel you should know at the beginning:1. The Lit Community may appear disparate, but it's big, and it is all loosely connected. There are always new things to discover, but like a ring of happenin' cafés, the same people are likely to pop up everywhere.2. The LC is very give-to-get oriented. Most of the people I meet here, or the people I get feedback from, are people I've had significant interaction with. There is a lot of talent and a lot of the work here is worth the read, and reading and interacting will definitely pull some very nice and enthusiastic people in your direc
NuzRooke CONTEST!So, it has come to it! In gratitude for my 500+ subscribers, I am hosting the first ever NUZROOKE CONTEST! Please, read to the end of the journal, so you can be sure to get all the info. There will be three themes. Each theme will have a "Theme Winner" - whoever had the best piece for the theme itself. That will be one prize for each theme. Then there will be the Grand Prizes - a slew of awesome prizes for the all-around best pieces. There will be first, second, and third.So, without further ado, the themes!----------------THEME #1: Rooke's Camera The scenario is that Rooke has found a camera. What antics do you think will ensue?- Applications MUST be artwork. Literature doesn't work for this theme.- Applications need to be in "photograph" style. They need to look like the photos that Rooke has taken. They can be of herself, of her Pokemon, of scenery, or even her posing with your own characters!- The setting is anywhere from New B
Rooke's Character Building ExerciseThis was something I came up with when I was bored yesterday, and it turned out pretty fun. So you're welcome to try it. Something very important to storytelling is creating unique, realistic characters who have thoughts, dreams, goals, and impressions all their own. Sometimes creating characters can be difficult if you don't know where to start, or if you can't seem to break out of certain stereotypes with your characters. So I made this little exercise in character building, just as a jump start to creating some random, interesting characters.First, we have our two columns - TRAITS, and ROLES. A trait is an adjective. A role is a job or a "purpose" a character has. Most good characters have complex purposes and roles that they fill, far more than a single all encompassing word. But you can use these as starting points to creating characters.What I did was make a list of 32 "traits" and "roles", whatever I could think of off the top of my head, that could be applied to stories of
