Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth. (A Journey To The Center Of The Earth)
Today marks the 187th anniversary of Jules Verne's birth. I'm republishing this in his honor.
Believe it or not, Jules Verne (1828-1905) graduated from law school, but decided not to practice, then took up playwriting, but never made a living from it. By age 29, he gave up the arts and became a stockbroker.
Yet today we know him as the author of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, A Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and Around The World In 80 Days (links to free books).
How did Verne transform himself from failed playwright to stockbroker to father of science fiction?
Operas and Stocks
Jules Gabriel Verne was born in the beautiful Loire River town of Nantes, France. From the window of his family's summer house, he watched schooners and clipper ships arrive from their exotic ports of call, which gave him a life-long yearning for faraway places.
His father, Pierre, was a wealthy lawyer who wanted Verne to follow in his footsteps. Jules left for Paris at 19 to study law.
But he fell in with an artsy uncle who introduced him to Paris's theaters and literary salons. Verne met Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas (author of The Three Musketeers), who encouraged him to write. Dumas even premiered Verne's first play at the Lyric Theatre, which he owned.
Verne graduated from law school at 22 and informed his father he had no intention of practicing. Pierre promptly cut off his allowance.
Dumas hired Verne as the Lyric's secretary for a nominal wage. For the next eight years, Verne wrote almost two dozen plays and operettas. Only a few were produced and none made him enough money to live on.
At 29, he fell in love with Honorine de Viane, a young widow. They wanted to marry, but he couldn't support her. So Honorine's brother got Verne a job as a stockbroker and the two wed.
Honorine encouraged her husband to continue writing. Verne rose at 5 am and wrote for five hours most days before going to the exchange. Burnt out on theater, he started experimenting with different forms and genres.
At age 35, Verne met Victor Hugo's publisher, Pierre-Jules Hetzel. Hetzel published Verne's story "Five Weeks In A Balloon." It didn't do well, but Hetzel loved the concept.
Hertzel and Verne then conceived a whole series of "Voyages Extraordinaires." Hetzel contracted Verne to write two stories a year, and guided him toward more popular offerings. From their 20-year collaboration came our most-beloved early science fiction and fantasy stories.
Fame and Tragedy
By the time Verne turned 43, he was a wealthy man and a chevalier (knight) of the Legion of Honor. He'd just published 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea in two volumes.
But his life took a tragic turn at the height of his success. His father died the same year. The two were never reconciled.
Verne and Honorine's only son, Michel, broke their hearts. At 19, Michel eloped with an older actress, then abandoned her for an underage girl. One year, Verne cleared Michel's gambling debts to the tune of U.S. $60,000 in today's currency.
When Verne was 58, his paranoid nephew Gaston burst into his room waving a gun, shouting that someone was chasing him. Although Verne had always been kind to Gaston and assured him that was not the case, Gaston shot him in the leg. The wound never healed, and he limped for the rest of his life. The Verne family hid the incident from the press and finally had Gaston committed.
Pierre-Jules Hetzel passed away a week after the shooting.Verne lost both a publisher and a dear friend. But Verne and his son reconciled through these tragedies, and even collaborated on a few projects.
Verne wrote prolifically until his death at age 77, and Michel finished several of his novels posthumously.
Science and Fiction
Most people regard Verne as an astonishing visionary. Just how many of our modern marvels did he foresee?
National Geographic summarizes 8 Jules Verne Inventions That Came True. They include
- electric submarines
- newscasts
- solar sails
- lunar modules
- videoconferencing
But Rosalind Williams, historian of technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, doesn't find Verne's prophecies so revolutionary:
He predicted a lot of things that have happened, but that's because he was reading a lot and talking with people and he knew what was going on in the world around him, so why should we be surprised?
It wasn't magic. He was just paying attention to things.
In 1989, Verne's great-grandson discovered a lost manuscript entitled Paris In The 20th Century.
The story describes fax machines, global communications, high-speed trains, cars powered by gasoline, and skyscrapers made of glass and steel. But, according to Publisher's Weekly, "…as the book's protagonist discovers, not even the most talented poet can find a place for himself unless he's willing to produce odes to blast furnaces or locomotives."
Paris In The 20th Century was Verne's second novel, but Hetzel rejected it as too dark. He published Journey To The Center Of The Earth instead, and ironically steered Verne toward offerings that would appeal to 19th-century masses.
In his 20s, Jules Verne broke away from his bourgeois upbringing and spent ten years following his passion for the theater. In his 30s, he became a stockbroker to support his family, but never abandoned his love of drama and storytelling.
His path to later blooming was a series of stops and starts and useful mistakes, which little by little lead to the truth.
Jules Verne's Lessons for Late Bloomers
The chance which now seems lost may present itself at the last moment. (Around The World In Eighty Days)
- Verne reminds us to keep the fire alive, even while duty calls, by paying attention and practicing daily. You never know when that chance will come!
- Later blooming is a spiral process, not a linear one. What useful mistake have you made that lead to the next level?

Teen sentenced for robbery of elderly Grandview man
A Grandview teenager was sentenced Thursday to 26 years in prison for the home invasion robbery of an 85-year-old man.
Michael L. Bray, 19, was among a group of young people who forced their way into the victim's home in 11900 block of Belmont Avenue last September and stole items, including several firearms.
Video from a surveillance system on the victim's house showed Bray pull a handgun and point it at the victim before Bray and at least half a dozen others entered the home, according to court documents. A relative who recognized Bray after the video was broadcast by the media took him to police.
On Thursday, Jackson County Circuit Judge Jack Grate sentenced Bray to 13 years for first-degree robbery and 13 years for first-degree burglary. He ordered the sentences to run consecutively.
Bray, who pleaded guilty in April, was the first suspect sentenced in the case.

It's the present that EVERY school librarian really wants... MORE SPACE!!! And it arrived today, in the guise of Dave the wonderful custodian removing the outdated and defunct Media Retrieval System from the back room of the library. My original plan had been to move in a loft, minifridge and my dog and just live there, but since the back room is also our lockdown area for the entire study hall, I'll just have to be glad I'll have a place to lock up equipment in the summer.
The black box in the center is going away. Whoo!
Said black box at one point held twenty VCRs. At the same time this was installed (about 1995), televisions were hung in all the classrooms. In order to play videos, you had to put one in the player in the back room of the library, and then call the librarian to hit the play button. This was the latest and greatest technology at the time. Remember, laser disks were also the next big thing.
This never worked very well, and quit entirely about two years ago. I am so happy that I no longer have to fight with it and that it will be gone. Oddly, if teachers want to show video clips (like Claudius, a Boy of Rome) now, they usually get them off the internet and show them through the LCD projector.
It's a good thing it's a teacher work day. I may do a happy dance most of the day! In my new, clean space!

What they need to do is to improve the decoy's effectiveness of clones (more swap chain skills, anyone?), and rework confusion so that the second shatter becomes the "better mind wrack" (it has, afterall, double the recharge). With the rise of Cry of Frustration (at least in PvE), the Mind Wrack's nerf wouldn't be so bad, as it would no longer be the only damage source from shattering.

#1534040 Sorry, Server is FULL
Posted CharliePrince on 19 June 2012 - 08:15 PM
so I won't go into the mechanism to prevent Powerhouse from forever crushing Weak since it's perpetually ignored by players who got crushed in BWE WvW's
what this entire thread is about is to adress the people who go
"Well WvW won't be fun since everyone will just transfer flood to the winning servers!!111one!!"
uhh, no..
Bottom Line: Server Is Full
there are server capacities.. so it will never be a free for all where everyone will just transfer to the powerhouse server Isle of Janthir because.. hello?! WE ARE FULL! (for example)
personally speaking, it happened this past bwe2 alone where several members of The Guardians could not get in to join us in Isle of Janthir
so deaded all thoughts of everyone mass transfering to whichever servers dominate in WvW.. that's not even possible, nevermind the fact that there is a built-in WvW mechanism where top performers face top performers and weak performing servers face weak performing servers and WvW is in good hands
I honestly flinch whenever I see whiners post about "WvW balance".. specially on the GW2 forums.. my god the stuff they say are straight from wintergrasp "WE NEED BUFFS!" etc ad infinitum
so relax, enjoy the battles, there will be plentiful I look forward to seeing you in the field of battle.. if you meet Isle of Janthir, good luck..

Posted Herr Roy Raven on 19 June 2012 - 03:20 PM
-Asura/Sylvari being in the next "BWE"
-Having a BWE3/4/5 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
I really hope ArenaNet doesn't have anymore betas. More than 3 is going way too far. I also hope they don't spoil the Sylvari and Asura. We need at least something to do during release besides playing the content we've already played throughout 3+ weekends.
Other than that, they've gone silent again. Normally when it remains silent, the first thing you hear is really loud. So, hopefully that is the case. I'd like the game to be released. No more betas please.
With all that said. July-August. I really don't think and pray to God we don't have to wait over 3 months to play this game. I'm sick of riding this rollercoaster. It's boring as hell and I want to get off. There's no more loops .

#1521982 Will WvWvW Grief Players?
Posted llwydakers on 15 June 2012 - 01:18 PM
pocho, on 15 June 2012 - 01:12 PM, said:
Maybe it should change weekly(first month) so no server own others for 2 weeks, and "good" servers get matched against "good" servers faster.
And if WvW is something like 33%v33%v33% of the map, a lot of problems would be solved, no hating, no changing servers for bonuses(you could change to a server who is owning, and maybe next match it still doesnt get matched against a "top" server, because every winner won't be equally good).

List Web Part supports three different types of connections that you can use to build various dashboards on a SharePoint portal. They are:
Let us walk through each of them to understand how they work, and what job they are best suited for. But before we dive into greater details, I'll briefly put together the concept of connections in web parts for the uninitiated.
A web part connection is like a contract between two web parts to exchange some data. There are two parties in a connection: provider, and consumer. The provider sends the data as agreed in the contract to the consumer. The consumer can then use this data in whatever way it wants.
While one List Web Part provider can provide data to many consumers simultaneously, a List Web Part consumer can consume data only from a single connection at a given point of time. The same instance of List Web Part can act as both a provider and a consumer at the same time, thus enabling branched connections and cascaded connections. More on this in a bit after we go through each of the connection types List Web Part supports.
Field to Field connections:
The field to field type connections enable filtering based on relationships between two entities in CRM. For example, let's consider Accounts and Orders in CRM. They are related by a one-to-many relationship on the attribute Customer. So if you enable a field-to-field connection between Account and Order List Web Part instances, with Account being provider, and Orders being consumer, then selecting a record in Account grid will show you all those records in Order, which have Customer as that selected account.
If there is more than one relationship between two entities, then the result in the consumer is an OR of all the relationship fields. For instance, let's say, order has one more relationship with account on an attribute called Partner Customer. Then selecting an account record in the provider will return all those order records, which have the selected account either as Customer, or Partner Customer, or both.
List Web Part supports this connection for all the three types of relationships in CRM: One to Many, Many to One, and Many to Many.
How to create a field to field connection:
i. Add two List Web Part instances on a SharePoint web page. ii. Open the web part page in Edit mode. iii. Choose one of the web parts as provider, and other as consumer. iv. Click the provider part's connection menu. Select 'Send Selected Field To', and choose the consumer web part from the list that shows up.
i. Add two List Web Part instances on a SharePoint web page.
ii. Open the web part page in Edit mode.
iii. Choose one of the web parts as provider, and other as consumer.
iv. Click the provider part's connection menu. Select 'Send Selected Field To', and choose the consumer web part from the list that shows up.
Figure 1: Configuring field to field connections
That's it! Your field to field connection is ready to be used.
Field to Field Connections with custom web parts
Custom web parts can connect to a List Web part using field to field connections, if they implement the following interface:
1: public interface IWebPartCrmData
2: {
3: /// <summary>
4: /// Schema name of the CRM entity
5: /// </summary>
6: string EntityLogicalName{ get; }
8: /// <summary>
9: /// Display Name of the CRM entity
10: /// </summary>
11: string EntityDisplayName{ get; }
13: /// <summary>
14: /// Schema name of the primary key of the CRM entity
15: /// </summary>
16: string PrimaryKeyLogicalName{ get; }
18: /// <summary>
19: /// Display name of the primary key of the CRM entity
20: /// </summary>
21: string PrimaryKeyDisplayName{ get; }
23: /// <summary>
24: /// Value of the Primary Key of a particular instance of CRM entity.
25: /// </summary>
26: string PrimaryKeyValue{ get; }
28: /// <summary>
29: /// Value of the Primary Attribute of a particular instance of CRM entity.
30: /// </summary>
31: string PrimaryAttributeValue { get; }
33: }
If your custom web part is a provider, then it needs to implement this interface. If it is a consumer, then its consumer method should consume an instance of this interface.How to write custom web parts is beyond the scope of this blog, but more details can be found here.

This type of connection enables one set of fields from provider web part to be mapped to another set of fields from the consumer web part. While configuring this connection between two List Web Parts, you need to perform a mapping between various columns shown in the provider grid to another set of columns in the consumer grid. The consumer then filters its results based on the data from provider.
Here's an example that'll help explain this. Suppose you want to reach out to all contacts in CRM who belong to the same city as yours, then this is how you'll do it:
i. Add two list Web Part instances on a SharePoint web page. Configure first for User Entity, and second for Contacts. User will act as provider and Contact will be the consumer. For our example scenario, you should configure both User and Contact with a view that has City in its column set. ii. Open the web part page in Edit mode. iii. Click the provider part's connection menu. Select 'Send Selected Row To', and choose the consumer web part from the list that shows up.
i. Add two list Web Part instances on a SharePoint web page. Configure first for User Entity, and second for Contacts. User will act as provider and Contact will be the consumer. For our example scenario, you should configure both User and Contact with a view that has City in its column set.
iii. Click the provider part's connection menu. Select 'Send Selected Row To', and choose the consumer web part from the list that shows up.
Figure 2: Configuring row to web part parameter connections
iv. A Configure Connection webpage dialog shows up, which will let you map one or more columns from the provider to respective columns in the consumer. Please note that only those columns show up in the list, which are present on the grid. Map the City from User to Address1_City in Contact. Keep clicking Next until you reach Finish.
Figure 3: Configuring connection mappings
The connection has been configured. Now select yourself from the list of users shown in the User web part, and you should see only those contacts which have the same city as yours. Select any other user with a different city, and the results in contact web part should change to reflect the new city.
You can configure this connection so as to filter on a group of columns instead of a single one. Just map as many columns from the provider to respective consumer columns as shown in the transformer screen, and you should be good to go. The result shown is an AND of all columns. What this means is that if you apply a filter on City, and zip code, only those contacts which satisfy both the city AND zip code will be shown.
Also, if you map more than one column from the provider to the same consumer column, then consumer will filter results only on the last mapped column from provider.
This connection is really powerful as it enables you to filter data crossing the organization boundaries in CRM. You can connect List Web Parts from two different CRM organizations, or two different CRM Server deployments, and filter data. You can even connect and filter data from other LOB applications, if you have custom web parts built for them.
Row to Web Part Parameter Connections For Advanced Scenarios
While configuring Row to Web Part Parameter type of connection, you'll notice that there are some columns which appear twice on the Transformer screen. For example, for a Contact Web Part, you should be able to see two columns with respect to Parent Customer, namely Parent Customer and Parent Customer: Id.
And here's why: Every CRM column has a property called Attribute Type, which represents the nature of data a column is used to store. The Attribute Type could be a boolean, a picklist, an integer, a nvarchar, and so on and so forth. While some of these columns store their values in text format, others store them using IDs, and do a reference lookup when showing up in the text format.
Examples of the latter kind are Lookup Types, Booleans, Picklists , Integers(of type Time Zone, Duration, or Language), etc.
Let's get back to the previous example of Parent Customer, which is a lookup field from Account in Contact. In CRM, lookup fields are referenced using GUIDs, and while displaying, their display names are shown. So from a provider web part, if you map Parent Customer to some consumer attribute, the actual data passed will be its display value. For example, if the Parent Customer in a record is called Active Cycling, and behind the scenes, has an ID as {E6E82758-99BB-4717-8D46-BC6A848A3442}, then mapping Parent Customer from provider will send the value 'Active Cycling' and mapping Parent Customer: Id will send the value ' {E6E82758-99BB-4717-8D46-BC6A848A3442}' to the consumer.
The point to note here is that mapping IDs will make sense as long as the two web parts in the connection have been configured for the same CRM organization. Also, if we choose to map Parent Customer: Id, then the receiving field in the consumer should be of a type that accepts a GUID, i.e. in a mapping, the data type of the receiving field should be compatible with the data that provider is sending. In case, it is not, the consumer web part will show an appropriate error message, telling you that your field mappings are incorrect.
You should use ID fields to map, in case you are connecting two web parts configured for the same organization. This will give you a better performance, and accurate results.
You can still choose to map the Non-ID fields(example Potential Customer) even when in the same organization. But because you are mapping on display names now, then all the records with the same display name on the mapped attribute will be considered while applying filtering on the consumer.
Of course, Non-ID field mappings make sense when you are connecting across CRM organizations, or to other custom web parts, which do not understand CRM IDs.
Removing Row to Web Part Parameter Connections:
You can remove this connection by following the steps below:
i. Open the web part page in Edit mode. ii. Click the provider part's connection menu. Select 'Send Selected Row To', and choose the consumer web part from the list that shows up. iii. The configure Connection web page dialog shows up as shown in the figure below: Figure 4: Removing row to web part parameter connection iv. Click on Remove Connection.
i. Open the web part page in Edit mode.
ii. Click the provider part's connection menu. Select 'Send Selected Row To', and choose the consumer web part from the list that shows up.
iii. The configure Connection web page dialog shows up as shown in the figure below:
Figure 4: Removing row to web part parameter connection
iv. Click on Remove Connection.
List Web Part acts as a Table Provider, and you can connect it to any other web part that consumes the IWebPartTable interface. The provider sends the entire data displayed in the grid to the consumer, and the consumer is free to use it in whatever way it wants. Possible examples of consumers could be: A charting web part, that takes a view containing revenue, and customer cities, and then creates a city wise distribution of revenues.
Please note that List web Part by itself does not consume any table data.
Dashboard creation using connections:
Now that we know the various connection types supported by List Web Part, we can use them to build dashboards, which give you a 360⁰ view of you data. You can create cascaded connections, branched connections, and also combine various type of connections.
For example, you can create the following dashboard to take a look at all Opportunities and Orders associated with a particular account that belongs to a certain user:
Figure 5: CRM dashboard using List Web Part
Figure 6: CRM Dashboard
To accomplish this, create a Row to Row Connection between User and Account on the column Owner(present in both User and Account), with User being Provider, and Account being Consumer.
Next create a connection between Account and Order using Field to Field Connections, with Account being provider and Order being Consumer. Similarly, you can create a field to field connection between Account and Opportunity.
NOTE: While configuring the connections above, please ensure that you add web parts on the web page and configure connections in the same order in which data is flowing from provider to consumer. For example, in the above scenario, data flows from User -> Account -> Order, and User -> Account -> Opportunity.
Hence the order of steps here can be:
1. Add User web part 2. Add Account web part 3. Add Order web part 4. Add Opportunity web part 5. User to Account connection 6. Account to Order connection 7. Account to Opportunity connection
1. Add User web part
2. Add Account web part
3. Add Order web part
4. Add Opportunity web part
5. User to Account connection
6. Account to Order connection
7. Account to Opportunity connection
I believe you are pretty excited to try your own hands on connections by now, and hopefully, you have all the raw material to get started. Happy dashboarding!

PingBack from http://blog.a-foton.ru/index.php/2009/01/19/list-web-part-for-microsoft-dynamics-crm-40-understanding-connections/
Nice article and very well described the connections.
Javista recently announced the release of the Sharepoint 2007 List Web Part for Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Nice in depth article indeed. However i still have some questions. My main question is how to go around with the external connector (license type) regarding the list web part possibilities.
I'd like to build one web page and depending on the customer or relation who want's to view the data it should only show his or her data (relation is the main filter and not user).
How can i accomplish this, since the relation is not a user and the logon via the external connector is not making any difference on who is loggin on through too CRM (correct?).
Hope you can help me with this.
Kind Regards,
Hi Max,
Can you please elaborate, what an external connector is? Also, some more details on the complete scenario will help me understand your requirements better.
Hi Nimisha,
The external connector is a license for Dynamics CRM, used for non-employees of the organisation owning the CRM application. The external connector is of use when retreiving or writing data to CRM via a client that is not of Dynamics CRM (wpf application, aspx page, sharepoint e.g.).
My wish would be to create one sharepoint page where a customer could retreive and write data into CRM.
Since this can really add up the amount of users Microsoft Dynamics CRM offers a external connector (for non employees only). However Microsoft Dynamics CRM sees a external connector as one user (let's say Webuser).
Since i cannot use this user id, my customer would see all customers when this is my webpart. But i want that they can only see their own data. It seems i have to build someting for this (a login frame, and intelligence in CRM) to filter this data in the webpart (provide the webpart with this data). At the same time i want to ensure that customer A could have acces to his account and his service calls but customer B only has acces to account information. Since the account is not an user, i probably cannot use the authorization of standard CRM.
My question would be, is there a way to use the out of the box list web part functionality, having one sharepoint page and display only data relevant to one customer who is getting acces via a external connector license.
Hope this helps?
Given that external connector always uses the same ID to connect to CRM, your scenario can't be enabled using List Web part.
However, you might want to take a look at the CRM eService Accelerator:
This probably addresses your problem for a few entities, and you can build upon this to suit your requirements as the source code is available.
Hope this helps!
Great post Nimisha. This all makes sense to me and I am having mostly no trouble connecting my webparts. Hoever I have one webpart where the connection just won't work for me, the consumer webpart indicates there are no records for the parent record. There definitly is. I can see this in CRM on the Parent record. I can also open in Adv Find the view displayed in the consumer webpart and filter by the parent record and get to what I should see back in SharePoint. I have tried field to field and row to row and neither are working for me. Field to field should work. Are there certain entity relationship configurations not supported? Any ideas?
Hi Gareth,
List Web Part supports all three types of relationships between provider and consumer: 1 to many, many to 1, and many to many.
So if there exist one or more relationships between your provider and consumer, then field to field should work.
But as you mention, you can't see any data in the consumer, I have few quetions:
1. When not connected, are you able to see data in the consumer web part in the same view that you are trying to connect?
2. Are you sure that you have some records in the consumer web part which actually refer to the selected record in the provider web part?
I am trying to consume data from my CRM Web part and push it into a custom list in order to run simple KPI indicators upon that data. I can get the connections to take but upon completing the transformer process I do not receive any data. Any suggestions?
Hi Trey,
I have a few questions for you:
1. Which of the three connections of List Web Part are you trying to consume data from?
2. What is the interface your custom list is implementing?
3. How are you writing your transformer?
I stumbled on this blog and it has been very helpful. I am trying to link a custom web part to the CRM List Web Part. I have constructed a basic web part using VS2005; it just prints "Hello World". I have defined a consumer method using the "ConnectionConsumer" attribute. The method also consumes an instance of the "IWebPartCrmData" interface. After I deploy the web part to the page with the CRM List Web Part, I go to the "Connections" menu for my web part and the choices for connections are disabled since "The Connection Type 'My Row' is not compatible with any other Web Parts on the page". How would I be able to get this connection working?
My ultimate goal is to have my web part show details of the record currently selected in the CRM List Web Part. I am new to MOSS/WSS so I may be missing something very fundamental. Any suggestions you may have would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Hi Andrew,
I am really sorry, I read this a bit too late.
Please let me know, if this is still an issue, and we can work on getting you a resolution.

WASHINGTON — A push from Congress and the White House for huge increases in biofuels such as ethanol, is prompting the oil industry to scale back its plans for refinery expansions — which could keep gasoline prices high, possibly for years to come.
With President Bush calling for a 20 percent drop in gasoline use and the Senate now debating legislation for huge increases in ethanol production, oil companies see growing uncertainty about future gasoline demand and little need to expand refineries or build new ones.
- Number of U.S. refineries: 149
- U.S. refinery gasoline production: 136 million gallons a day.
- Gasoline demand: 143 million gallons a day (imports make up the difference)
- Annual ethanol production today: 5 billion gallons
Oil industry executives no longer believe there will be the demand for gasoline over the next decade to warrant the billions of dollars in refinery expansions — as much as 10 percent increase in new refining capacity — they anticipated as recently as a year ago.
Biofuels such as ethanol and efforts to get automakers to build more fuel-efficient cars and SUVs have been portrayed as key to countering high gasoline prices, but it is likely to do little to curb costs at the pump today or in the years ahead as refiners reduce gasoline production.
A shortage of refineries has frequently been blamed by politicians for the sharp price spikes in gasoline, as was the case last week by Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla. during debate on a Senate energy bill.
"The fact is that Americans are paying more at the pump because we do not have the domestic capacity to refine the fuels consumers demand," Inhofe said as he tried unsuccessfully to get into the bill a proposal to ease permitting and environmental rules for refineries.
This spring, refiners, hampered by outages, could not keep up with demand and imports were down because of greater fuel demand in Europe and elsewhere. Despite stable — even sometimes declining — oil prices, gasoline prices soared to record levels and remain well above $3 a gallon.
Only last year, the Energy Department was told that refiners, reaping big profits and anticipating growing demand, were looking at boosting their refining capacity by more than 1.6 million barrels a day, a roughly 10 percent increase. That would be enough to produce an additional 37 million gallons of gasoline daily.
But oil companies already have scaled those expansion plans back by nearly 40 percent. More cancellations are expected if Congress passes legislation now before the Senate calling for 15 billion gallons of ethanol use by 2015 and more than double that by 2022, say industry and government officials.
"These (expansion) decisions are being revisited in boardrooms across the refining sector," said Charlie Drevna, executive vice president of the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association.
In 2006, motorists used 143 billion gallons of gasoline, of which 136 billion was produced by U.S. refineries, and the rest imported.
Drevna, the industry lobbyist, said annual demand had been expected to grow to about 161 billion gallons by 2017. But Bush's call to cut gasoline demand by 20 percent — through a combination of fuel efficiency improvements and ethanol — would reduce that demand below what U.S. refineries make today, he said.
"We will end up exporting gasoline," Drevna said.
Asked recently whether Chevron Corp. might build a new refinery, vice chairman Peter Robertson replied, "Why would I invest in a refinery when you're trying to make 20 percent of the gasoline supply ethanol?"
Valero Corp., the nation's largest refiner, producing 3.3 million barrels a day of petroleum product, recently boosted production capacity at its Port Arthur, Texas, refinery by 325,000 barrels a day. But company spokesman Bill Day said some additional expansions have been postponed.
"That's not to say we've change our plans," Day said. "But it's fair to say we're taking a closer look at what the president is saying and what Congress is saying" about biofuels. He said there's a "mixed message" coming out of Washington, calling for more production but also for reducing gasoline demand."

I have a job interview/test this Saturday for Amtrak Railroad. I have a question, I was looking at their routes and saw one for Cincy how far from the Park is it? Anyone know? This may belong in another one of the forums, if so feel free to move it.

I have a job interview/test this Saturday for Amtrak Railroad. I have a question, I was looking at their routes and saw one for Cincy how far from the Park is it? Anyone know? This may belong in another one of the forums, if so feel free to move it.
The stop is at Union Terminal. It's a few miles. Too far to walk, but just fine by bike. I believe it is on the bus line.
According to Google maps, it's a 2.5 mile walk which is not bad, but even for a city lover like me, I have to acknowledge that it depends the time of day and all that you're making the trek to measure what risk, if any, there might be (of course, that's true of many urban areas, no matter the city). It would be a simple bike ride and there's multiple directions you could go easily. Sadly, and not intending to take this thread off on a tangent, there was talk of adding a spur for the streetcar to Union Terminal (as well as across to the casino on the opposite side of downtown), particularly when the high speed rail was still on the table with Union Terminal being the ultimate terminus in Cincinnati.
Good luck with Amtrak. The service for Cincinnati is pathetic, to say the least. I think it's two trains a week, maybe three and it arrives and departs at an ungodly hour and unfortunately because it shares tracks with freight trains, the delays are too often. But our daughter has regularly taken Amtrak back and forth to DC. But she's now looking at Megabus since there make Pittsburgh a transfer point between the two systems. I'd love to be able to take a train to various places. I remember some German visitors being shocked at a city the size of Cincinnati having such limited train service and then, such a tiny train station (then on River Road, smaller than a convenience store).
You'll love Union Terminal which is a beautiful structure, one we almost lost in the 80's.
My sister took an Amtrak train to DC with some friends -- she enjoyed the experience tremendously, but I think she had to be at Union Terminal by 4am to catch it.
I used to ride Amtrak a lot when I lived out East. Great service, but I think it makes more sense between places like DC / NY / Boston than it does elsewhere. Cincinnati - Chicago would be good, but that's about the only train I ever find myself wishing existed as a convenience.
The train to Chicago leaves at about 1am. The schedules in Cincinnati are horrible
To me its about cost, convenience, and time. I would love to be able to hop the train to Chicago. I have friends who live right off the blue line and that would mean I wouldn't have to deal with a car in Chicago. But if the train is too expensive, doesn't at least equal my drive time, or leaves at 1 in the morning I am not going to take it.
If you are on a schedule, DO NOT take Amtrak.
Amtrak service between Portland and Seattle is very popular. (it's about a 3 hour drive)
Back in college I took Amtrack from Seattle to Indy. Think it was 2-1/2 days sitting in a chair. Had a pretty good time.
It takes almost 10 hours from Cincy to Chicago on Amtrak, thats just crazy when leaving that early.
One of the main downfalls of the current Amtrak setup: for a lot of the non-Northeast routes, you get stuck riding trains doing the milk-run on tracks that are shared freight-passenger lines. Freight always has priority, so you end up sidetracked waiting for cargo to pass.
If you want to make rail travel work, you need dedicated passenger rail lines and more non-stop trains.
You need dedicated high speed rail lines.
I have traveled several times through Europe on their rail system. It is amazingly efficient, not exactly cheap, but a very easy way to traverse through Europe. I don't necessarily mind the commuter rail which makes several local stops. One day my wife and I went from Rome to Napoli in the hopes of going to Pompeii. The local rail was closed so we were forced to spend the day in Napoli. One word of advice, never go to Napoli. Anyway we took a high speed rail down that was a little over an hour. The commuter rail back took about double the time, was a little less expensive, but wasn't all that bad.

Silk Scarves and another Swallowtail
6 comments:
Hi Dorothy! I swear, I've paged through that book a million times, but I don't recall ever having seen this lovely pattern!! What a great selection for silk! I'm sure the patterned areas will just announce themselves in beautiful form once it is off the loom. As always, you are the Queen of the Swallowtail shawls. Every one is as lovely as the previous. Of course, silk makes everything all that much better!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely draft. It reminds me a little of the one in Twill Thrills, called the Earl's canvas. Just a thought, are you sure you are not beating this a little too hard? Or is the pattern unit supposed to be flatter than broader? I hope you don't mind me asking, and you have probably got it just right, but I couldn't help asking, since you mention it not being particularly lacy.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Media Inquiries: |
Federal Agents Seize Nearly $1.3 Million of Illegal Dietary Supplements
Products alleged to be adulterated under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
At the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, on Wednesday U.S. Marshals seized more than $1,301,712 of dietary supplements from LG Sciences, LLC, of Brighton, Mich., because the products contain unapproved food additives and/or new dietary ingredients that cause the products to violate the law. Labeled as dietary supplements, the products are marketed for use by body builders.
The dietary supplements seized were marketed and distributed on-line and in retail stores under the names "Methyl 1-D," "Methyl 1-D XL," and "Formadrol Extreme XL."
The seized products previously were tested and found to contain one or more unapproved food additives and/or new dietary ingredients for which there is inadequate information to provide reasonable assurance that the ingredients do not present a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury.
"The FDA takes seriously its responsibility to protect Americans from unsafe dietary supplements," said Margaret Glavin, FDA's Associate Commissioner of the Office of Regulatory Affairs. "Wednesday's action shows FDA's commitment to protecting consumers from potentially harmful products."
"Working with the FDA, we are taking prompt civil action to protect the public health by seizing these illegal products and forestalling their shipment into the stream of commerce in any manner that could create harm to the public," said U.S. Attorney Stephen J. Murphy. "I commend the professionalism and swift action of the FDA investigators who discovered and investigated this serious problem, and I am glad our lawyers could provide the legal muscle needed to support the seizure."
FDA has not received scientific information on the safety of the seized products and cannot determine, at this time, whether they represent a hazard to consumers. Therefore, consumers who still have the products should strongly consider discussing the use of these products with their health care professionals. FDA also recommends that consumers consult their health care professionals if they have experienced any adverse events that they suspect are related to the products' use. Consumers and health care professionals can report adverse events to the FDA's MedWatch program at 800-FDA-1088 or online at www.FDA.gov/medwatch/report.htm.
On March 2006, the FDA warned Legal Gear (the predecessor of LG Sciences) to cease distribution of a different product that was marketed as a dietary supplement but was actually an unapproved new drug containing synthetic steroids.

On the absence of invariant measures
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information Abstract: We prove that for a class of shifts of finite type, , any invariant measure which is not a measure of maximal entropy can be perturbed a small amount in the weak* topology to an invariant measure of higher entropy.

Sig 556r 7.62x39 ammo choice
Really interested in this rifle, but before I commit I want to find out about ammo options.
What type of ammo runs good in it, wolf, silver bear, surplus ? Last edited by e-mishka; June 4, 2013 at 10:34 AM. |

Probably will eat anything you feed it. Make sure you get one that has all the latest factory modifications.

I have one and love it! I stocked up on Silver Bear before everything got crazy and that is all I have shot through it so far. Not one malfunction, although the red dot sight died after about 150 - 200 rounds. I have not sent it back to Sig yet, as I had another red dot to put on the gun.

From what I heard, the magazines are the most likely point of failure. Also, when I was shopping around for 7.62x39 ammo recently, I noticed that the Hornady SST stuff is relatively cheap right now. 50-75% of the price of comparable .30-30 and .223 ammo, probably because it's steel-cased. Not as cheap as the imported stuff, of course.

I've thrown everything at mine and it ate them all. I tossed the provided Bulgarian magazine and use older Bulgarian magazines that utilize steel feeding lips. You'll get an el-cheapo Bulgarian like mine, or a Tapco. They'll run, but I wouldn't count on them, especially if you really heat up the weapon.
Make sure you pick up a Gen2 556R that is recognized my its non-collapsible, folding stock.

BTW I recommend staying away from Ukrainian Wolf for now. Corrosive primers have showed up in some lots and you don't want to play Russian Roulette and rust out a brand new 556R. Its not worth the risk, or you'll need to take your corrosive precautions after every usage. TulAmmo, anything from Barnaul (Silver, Brown Bear) and Golden Tiger are your best options for now IMO.

RATP Group
State-owned company | |
Industry | Public transport |
Founded | 1948 |
Headquarters | 54 Quai de la Rapée 75012 Paris, France |
Area served
Worldwide, with significant Île-de-France involvement |
Parent | Government of France |
Subsidiaries | RATP Dev Ixxi |
Website | http://www.ratp.fr |
The RATP Group (French: Groupe RATP), also known as the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (English: Autonomous Operator of Parisian Transports) is a state-owned public transport operator headquartered in Paris, France. Formed in 1948, the group has its origins as the public transport operator for the city of Paris. Its logo represents, in a stylized version, the Seine's meandering through the area around Paris as the face of a person looking up.
Today RATP is still responsible for most of the public transport in Paris and its surrounding Île-de-France region, including the Paris Métro, tram and bus services and part of the Réseau Express Régional (RER) network. In the Île-de-France region, RATP carries about 3 billion passengers per year.[1]
Whilst the RATP's Paris operations are still a major part of the business, its operations have now extended to include businesses around the globe. These include involvement in the operation of bus, tram, rapid transit and inter-city rail services, located in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.
The RATP was created on March 21, 1948, by combining the assets of the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), which operated the Paris Métro, and the Société des transports en commun de la région parisienne (STCRP), which operated the city's bus system.
Earlier, the CMP had absorbed the Société du Chemin de Fer Électrique Nord-Sud de Paris in 1930 and the Ligne de Sceaux in 1937, which extended commuter rail to the suburbs. The STCRP had been created on January 1, 1921 by the merger of about half a dozen independent bus and streetcar operators in the Paris area. By the time the STCRP was merged into the RATP, all of its streetcars had been replaced by bus routes.
In the early years of the 21st century, a partnership with the Transdev group resulted in RATP acquiring a minority shareholding in that group, with its many worldwide transport operations. However in 2009, the Caisse des dépôts et consignations, the majority owner of the Transdev group, started negotiations with Veolia Environnement to merge Transdev with Veolia Transport. As part of the resulting agreement, made in May 2010, it was agreed that the RATP Group would take over ownership of some of Transdev's operations in lieu of cash payment for its holdings in Transdev. This had a considerable impact on RATP's international profile.[2][3][4]
On August 1, 2011, the RATP Group purchased Stagecoach Metrolink's contract to operate the Metrolink light rail system in Greater Manchester, England until July 2017.[5] Two years later, in 2013 RATP purchased the nearby long-established coach company, Selwyns Travel, a National Express operator.
Operations in Paris[edit]
In Paris, RATP operates, under its own name, on behalf of the Syndicat des transports d'Île-de-France (STIF), the Paris region transit authority. RATP's services constitute, in their own right, a multi-mode public transportation infrastructure, but also contribute to a larger multi-mode system extending out into the surrounding Île-de-France communities.
RATP's services include:
- The Paris Métro system of mostly underground rapid transit lines, which run throughout the city, with some lines extending somewhat beyond the city boundaries. The Métro has 16 lines, with 214 km (133 mi) of track and 300 stations, of which 62 provide connections between lines.[6]
- Parts of the RER, the Paris regional express railway network that runs mostly underground in the city and overground in the rest of the region. The RATP owns sections of the infrastructure of lines A and B, and operates trains on the whole of those lines. The remainder of the system is owned by the RFF, the owner of the French national rail network, and the SNCF, the French national rail operator, operates trains on all five lines.
- The extensive Paris city bus system, including the night buses of the Noctilien network.
- Eight lines of the developing Paris tram system (the T4 is operated by the SNCF).
- The Montmartre funicular.
In addition to these directly operated services, wholly or partially owned subsidiary companies of the RATP also operate in the Paris region. Most of these provide local and regional bus services in Île-de-France communities outside Paris, but they also include the Orlyval automated airport people mover system, the FlexCité paratransit operator, and the Opentour tourist bus operator. These companies are owned through RATP's RATP Dev subsidiary, covered further below.[7]
Operations outside Paris[edit]
RATP Group's subsidiary, RATP Dev (Dev being a contraction of Développement[8]), operates RATP Group services outside Paris, although it also operates some specialised services within Paris. Wholly and partly owned operations include:[7][9]

This is a terrible recording--it was with my iPhone 4, and the beeping in the background is the door ajar warning of my 2002 Camry. Yes, I'm cool like that. I've heard this song a few times before and since then, and I can't place any of the lyrics, the style, or the tune or anything. There's that repeating chorus in the background, though, and I figured somebody on here could identify it for me. Can anybody name this tune as it ticks away in the fadeout? I am sorry this is the only record I could make of it since then, but beggars can't be choosers. Attachment 16567

But in Behavior, the massive installation at Rice, the New York artist has staged a whimsical "birds and bees" fairy tale. Eisenman's graphic narratives have always excelled when depicting upheaval -- art-world rampages, nightclub sexcapades, even Minotaur hunts. Behavior takes aim at the gender wars from the perspective of "S.W.A.T.," a group of renegade chicks (gleefully enacted by Eisenman's friends in color photographs) who are called upon by delicate flowers to destroy a swarm of pestilent bumblebees. You're bombarded with sensory information at the gallery entrance. A video of a finger-puppet bumblebee speeding through a residential neighborhood is accompanied by the adrenaline rush of Rimski-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee." Nearby, the "Honeypot," a local bee nightspot which cunningly fronts the Bee War Room, pounds out a driving disco beat. Directly ahead, the S.W.A.T. war room displays a wide variety of relevant products and materials: Surge cola, pink fly swatters, air freshener, Bit O'Honey candies, Honey Kiss perfume and S.W.A.T. "superfly" glasses with yellow lenses. A tactical map pinned to the wall traces the path of the bees toward the Jersey shore.
Other strategies to "stop the damn bees" include an oscillating sprinkler hooked up to propane to spray fire, and conical drinking cups filled with tar and flowers as bait. The S.W.A.T. team intends to lure the bees from their hive (a "Mountain Size" fire-log box lined with Honeycomb cereal) to a paradise "island" filled with marshmallow chicks and artificial flowers, floral-scented candles and boxes of potpourri. The entirety is umbilically connected with plastic Hot Wheels tracks and curlicue coils of orange rope that trace flight patterns.
And there's more. Considerably more. Sprawled on a huge white circular table are dozens of painted ceramic bees poised in formation like B-52s ready for takeoff. A blond female figure with exaggerated breasts and in a position of sexualized submission braces for a bee "attack." Hundreds of bee stickers adhere to the far gallery wall, becoming increasingly dense as they swarm toward the center. Here, Eisenman has sketched a tangle of lines, the frenzied chaos of bees in their death throes. A perky little bluebird presides over the scene. On the floor below, cardboard boxes with red flowers poking through the lids are filled with piles of the expired bumblebees.
Taken as a whole, Eisenman's immense assemblage looks like something between a construction site and a teenager's bedroom. It gets its force from the astounding multiplicity of objects, rather than by focusing attention on single, discrete works. It's hard to know where to look, and when you do, the connections between symbolic and narrative links aren't always clear. What does it all mean? In the end, the specifics of this allegory of art, hedonism and inspiration matter less than the buoyant spirit in which they are offered.
Eisenman wants to get under your skin and take you for an imaginative ride. As you enter the "Honeypot" -- an eight-foot-square plywood and sheetrock chamber -- a rotating strobe ball bounces reflections off Mylar mirrors. Orange cheese puffs are strewn all over the floor and piled in corners, as are purple combs and pots of orange paint. On one wall are portraits of famous bees from the past -- menacing mug shots, really, with red stingers for noses. Another drawing features weighty figures in an orgiastic brawl; the lines are fluid, restless and speedy, and their slapdash appearance belies an undeniable sureness. (The few drawings in this show prove Eisenman a virtuoso draftsman. She makes classical drawing technique seem like untapped artistic terrain.) In this mannerist scene, excess is all: The "disco" provides the setting in which Eisenman can play out the depths and extremes of sexual desire in a manner that jars as much as it seduces. The claustrophobic "Honeypot" gets a little twitchy, like something conjured in a sadistic fever dream.
Though Behavior sweeps you along, it seems decidedly haphazard, content to wow viewers with attitude and jive rather than revelations about human relationships. Eisenman has energy to spare and a sure way with materials, but she needs clarity. The tired cliches of Behavior never add up to something greater than the sum of its buzzing parts.
Behavior is on view through December 13 at the Rice University Art Gallery, 6100 Main, entrance no. 1, 527-6069.

I have been using this product for about 6 weeks and I can honestly say that it has helped with my acne scars. I have cystic acne and have been suffering for nearly 15 years. Even after my large pimples aren't inflamed, a red mark can last for months. I have noticed a difference in the amount of time the marks stay on my face. My face looks more even toned and younger. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has acne scarring or uneven skin tone.
4I am a little bit older than most and have some dark/sun spots that I would love to get rid of. I purchased this with high hopes and was very disappointed. This product caused me breakouts that are long lasting and painful. They also leave MORE dark spots. I tried this product (3) three times, and each time it caused bad breakouts. I really really wanted this to work. It's so expensive and caused me more imperfections that I need to figure out how to manage. :(
1Maybe I don't have serious skin tone issues as I thought I did but I didn't see much improvement in my skin after using this product after a few weeks. My skin felt more tight but didn't look any different. This does go on smooth and is cooling on the skin- so that is a plus!

Urban prairie
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2012) |
Urban prairie is a term to describe vacant urban land that has reverted to green space. Previous structures occupying the urban lots have been demolished, leaving patchy areas of green space that are usually unintended and unmanaged. Sometimes, however, the prairie spaces are intentionally created to facilitate amenities such as community gardens and wildlife habitats.[1]
Urban prairies can result from several factors. The value of aging buildings may fall too low to provide financial incentives for their owners to maintain them. Vacant properties may have resulted from deurbanization or crime, or may have been seized by local government as response to unpaid property taxes. Since vacant structures can pose health and safety threats (such as fire hazards), or be used as a location for criminal activity, cities often demolish them.
Sometimes areas are cleared of buildings as part of a revitalization plan with the intention of redeveloping the land. In flood-prone areas, government agencies may purchase developed lots and then demolish the structures to improve drainage during floods. Some neighborhoods near major industrial or environmental clean-up sites are acquired and leveled to create a buffer zone and minimize the risks associated with pollution or industrial accidents. Such areas may become nothing more than fields of overgrown vegetation, which then provide habitat for wildlife. Sometimes it is possible for residents of the city to fill up the unplanned empty space with urban parks or community gardens.[2] Urban prairie is sometimes planned by the government or non-profit groups for community gardens and conservation, to restore or reintroduce a wildlife habitat, help the environment, and educate people about the prairie.[3]

But they are frequently overlooked. I have seen many cases that H/W and Linux settings were wrongly configured on production environments. Changing configurations after going live is not easy. Some Linux settings such as I/O scheduler can be changed dynamically, but many of the settings can not be changed without stopping MySQL. It is important for infrastructure engineers to understand Linux and H/W tuning and monitoring best practices. Learning best practices will certainly improve performance and stability. This tutorial will be based on what the speaker had presentations at the MySQL Conference and Expo 2011 and Percona Live London, but will add many hot topics after that.

I had been eyeing that top on Forever21.com and was scared to take the plunge. I am placing my order as I type. Love your style and thanks for stopping by my blog. http://theserenasaga.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI ordered that top too and have not gotten mine yet. I wonder how it will fit me. You look super fabulous and the pairing is fantastic.

Gorgeous outfit!! That top is amazing I can't believe you found it at forever 21! I love that place. Found you over at the Sunday style link up and I absolutely love your blog!!
Wow, you have really gorgeous hair, did you know that? It's so long and thick and the darkness is making me want to go back to my original hair color now!
Haha, hair envy aside, this top is stunning, it almost looks a little bit metallic with the pattern. (And so pretty with the yellow skirt, I would not have thought to pair a warm tone skirt with a cool tone top, but it's very striking together and totally works!)

Democrats, Protesters Prep for Romney Visit
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will visit Michigan Tuesday on the final leg of a tour of battleground states.
Some polls show Michigan as a toss-up between Romney and President Obama.
As Republicans prepare for Romney's three campaign stops in Frankenmuth, DeWitt, and Holland, Democrats sponsored their own bus tour of the state Monday.
Brad Woodhouse is with the Democratic National Committee. He says Democrats need to help set the stage for the Romney visit.
"He should get an opportunity to have his say, but he shouldn't get a free shot," he says. "We want to make sure that we have an opportunity to talk to the people of Michigan about what his policies would do and remind them that in a state has seen its economy turn around – begin to turn around – that he said, let Detroit go bankrupt."
The liberal group moveon.org plans to have people at all three Romney events.

#11 Wave Scarf
Errata available:
A scarf that looks like modular knitting, but is really basically a 1x1 ribbing pattern! Perfect for handpainted yarns, and so fun to knit.
Note: In order to make the pattern work, I believe you need to skip rows 1 and 85 (and the corresponding WS rows) in the chart.
