Romans 12:2 (AMP)
Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
My life is not ideal. Looking around at this hospital room, sitting on the couch that will be my bed, looking through the rail at our son who is spending his time in a place that is not where he should be as a 22-year-old college student, I again feel that our life is not ideal. I have a conception of life in its perfection and this is certainly not it. I have had my idea of "ideal" changed many times in my life. Like any girl, I dreamed of the way that my life would turn out but it didn't. Princesses are not common and fairytales just not true. Sadly, the world in which we live demands a compromise of ideal to experience success as an individual. Ideal means excellent, fitting, and optimal. I am convinced that perfection does not exist in this world. Rather we have accepted a lighter shade of gray as the best possible substitute for the life that we were offered. Instead of choosing to leave our comfort zone marked descriptively as actual, practical, flawed and imperfect to seek the true and real perfection that faith allows, we would rather accept our lot in life and choose to dwell in a world that is not ideal.
Do not be conformed to this world. Why do we accommodate this world so willingly rather than taking a chance that faith might make a real difference in our life? Jesus Christ came to us so that we could be transformed and changed. It begins with a renewal of our mind to accept new ideals and have a new attitude about living the perfect life that is offered. How can you say that you are thinking? Your son has had cancer five times. He fights for his life at this very moment. Aren't we all? We are born dying. From the moment you drew your first breath, the timer was set. God has numbered our days. Not because He is mad at us or hates us, if people did not die they would be subject to sin endlessly. My husband's uncle went home to be with the Lord yesterday. He had cancer multiple times in his life. Beat it every single time except the last round. He decided that he didn't want chemotherapy, radiation and surgeries anymore. He wanted to be with Jesus. In his final days, he lingered. His body began to shut down but he did not pass. His family watched as he suffered day in and day out until finally he was swept away by His Lord. Death is our transition to life as a believer. No one will live forever in sin thanks to God's Mercy. While we are here, it is an opportunity to believe accepting Jesus Christ by faith.
Matthew 8:25-27 (AMP)
And they went and awakened Him, saying, Lord, rescue and preserve us! We are perishing! And He said to them, Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith? Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm (a perfect peaceableness). And the men were stunned with bewildered wonder and marveled, saying,
"What kind of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!"
Lord, we are dying. When the storm came the disciples could not believe that Jesus was not concerned that they would perish. Rescue us. Preserve us. Do something. I must admit when I first heard our son's diagnosis, I felt the same way. Panic rose within me. I wanted to know where God was and why He was not watching over us. The chaos consumed me as I called on His Name. My son had cancer. The ideal life I was living was shattered and irrevocably broken. It would never be the same. I wanted answers. The Lord gave me an answer in the form of a question, "Do you trust me?" I answered, "Yes." But then realized that my response was not of one who was full of faith but a mother crying out in fear. The storm was upon me and all I could see was the wind and the rain. But sleeping inside of me just as in the belly of that boat was Jesus. The wind and the sea obey Him even when the storm is in me. Why are you timid? Why are you afraid? Where is your faith? What do you believe? Could it be the storm that I am facing is really just an excuse to believe? Is it an opportunity to change my "ideal" of life into something more complete and perfect rather than hanging on to compromise? Once Jesus rebuked the storm, there was a great and wonderful calm marked by perfect peaceableness.
Philippians 3:11-14 (AMP)
That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body]. Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own. I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
This life is not ideal…but we can strive to make it that way. If we allow the Lord to transform our heart and mind to accept a new and better ideal for our life, things will change. Not always on the outside but definitely on the inside where it counts. We are changed by the "entire" renewal of our mind that is ready to accept God's Perfection found by living an uncompromisingly righteous life. Oh, I hear what you are thinking, and I am not that good either. His Righteousness is mine for the asking. By accepting Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord, the same power that brought Jesus Christ out of the grave now belongs to me. I may not use it but it's in there. I must strive to attain the spiritual and moral resurrection that lifts me out of the dead. When the impossible becomes possible the opportunities in our life are endless. No longer are we restricted to natural outcomes but now we can experience the supernatural in this lifetime. This is totally contrary to natural and logical thinking so we must put on the Mind of Jesus Christ to have it. We must emulate His Life to walk in it. The problem is that we have salvation in our hands but do not put it on our bodies wearing it through life. What are you waiting for? What are you saving it for? I am not perfect. This life is not perfect. Jesus Christ is perfect and offers me His Perfection if I will take hold of it integrating into my life and weaving it through my thoughts binding my ways and words to Him. I must press on for perfection of Jesus rather than settling for a less than ideal life. I aspire to see the resurrection power of Jesus Christ active in my life but I cannot take a passive, compromising or settling position to have it. I must want more and strive for perfection.
Matthew 5:48 (AMP)
You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect.
The Sovereignty of God is His Perfection. He is constant. His Word, Will and Way never changes. I must change to have the perfect Will of God for my life. He will never change. His Consistency is what secures my hope and promises His Unfailing Love and Righteousness can always be mine if I want them. It is our inconsistency and insecurity in the Sovereignty of God that leaves us lacking. He is the Supreme Power. He is in complete authority. He has excellent understanding and is omnipresent (everywhere all at once). I don't get it but I have Him. That is all that I need if I believe. To call on the Name of the Lord without faith, trust, belief or confidence that He can and will make a difference is useless. We must develop our faith so it redefines our character so we can endure with confident hope while the Lord perfects that which concerns us. Case in point – my son laying six feet in front of my knocked out from chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. He has survived cancer five times but statistically that marks him for death. However, the fact that he is still breathing means that the Lord is not finished with him yet and that the resurrection power of God is still working inside of him. Why? The kid is a believer. He has faith that God will heal him. This is not a room filled with joy and sadness but hope and peace that passes all understanding. It is an ideal atmosphere in the midst of tragic circumstances. But you know what is happening? There are some crazy "coincidences" popping up. The doctors and nurses are all eyes on him right now because his body is not shutting down but keeps getting up. God is perfect. Jesus Christ is perfect. The Holy Spirit is perfect. I can be perfect by putting all my faith in Jesus Christ especially when the circumstances of my life are less than ideal. Why? I have changed my idea of true living. For me to live is Christ. (Philippians 1:21)
John 16:33 (AMP)
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
There will be trials and hardships in this life. The world we live in is subject to God's Judgment. Sin is rampant. Love has grown cold. The "perfect" life is impossible if you remain in and of this world. His Grace is sufficient if we use it to strive for the perfection found in Christ alone. Otherwise it is a waste of time and energy. Grace is the covering that allows us to live an uncompromisingly righteous life not hide in our compromising sin. We can have confidence in every situation and perfect peace because Jesus Christ has deprived the world of its power to harm us and conquered it for us. The power is believing that He is enough. We can have courage. Be confident. To live by faith is more than words, it is a total embodiment of Christ heart, soul, mind and body.
I Corinthians 4:20 (AMP)
For the kingdom of God consists of and is based on not talk but power (moral power and excellence of soul).
We must demonstrate allegiance to the Kingdom of God rather than just talking about it all the time.
Colossians 3:14-15 (AMP)
And above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony]. And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ's] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].
If we could only comprehend the Perfect Love of God for us His Children, then we would stop settling for less than a perfect life. We put on Christ's Love when we follow Him. When we imitate the Lord, we are His Disciples. When we fall in love with Jesus Christ, this world will become a better place for us. Love is commitment. It is not a frilly feeling that lasts forever. It means through thick and thin, good times and bad, it is the glue that keeps us as one. I don't fully understand everything God is doing in our life especially through the course of this present journey. I trust Him though. I know that no matter how hard it gets my faith will be rewarded. I know that God is good – no longer thinking like the world who wonders if He is even real. If we bond our life to the Perfection of Christ beginning with love, our standard of living begins to become like His Glorious Standard that He intended all along. Soul harmony creates peaceful companionship with Jesus allowing us to press for perfection confidently and boldly in His Presence. It gives us the patience to wait until it comes. The peace in our hearts put there by Jesus will decide and settle with finality all questioning, doubts and lies that the enemy throws at u. We will know what to do and have the strength to do it in His Love. (Proverbs 4:18) We will live in perfect peace. (Isaiah 26:2-4)
I Corinthians 13:11-13 (AMP)
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside. For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood [by God]. And so faith, hope, love abide [faith—conviction and belief respecting man's relation to God and divine things; hope—joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love—true affection for God and man, growing out of God's love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.
I am not a child anymore. The naivety that went with being young is long gone. Life is tough. This world is a rough place to live. You can never be sure of anything but change. The one and only constant in my life is God. I know that He is always goo. I wasn't always convinced but I am now. I didn't figure out when everything was going my way or life was good. I discovered His Profound Love for me when everything fell apart. When life is not ideal, we change our perspective of what true love is and where it can be found. The uncertainty of life opens the door to what is real and relevant about the Kingdom of God. Faith is what we use to connect to hope. Hope is nothing that can be seen or found on the earth it is a reservation in forever. Only those who discover His Perfection can survive this imperfect place and all its cloudy mirrors and dim reflections. Those who take the time to grow in faith, hope and love will live in perfect peace even when things are not ideal.
Isaiah 54:17 (AMP)
But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.

Dear Friend,
I need your help.
For ten years, the Republican leadership has refused to let us raise the
minimum wage. Even now, the bill will barely lift 13 million working Americans
out of poverty -- but it's progress.
Now the Senate has invoked cloture, which means that our opponents in the
Senate have 30 hours to hammer away at the bill before we can vote on it.
Armed with scores of amendments, Republicans have proposed one poison pill
after another to weaken and obstruct what should be a simple raise.
What are these amendments? Republicans have proposed $240 billion in tax
breaks for corporations, $36 billion in tax breaks for small businesses, and
many, many more -- most of which have nothing to do with giving hard-working
Americans a well-earned and long-delayed raise.
We have to ask hard questions of Republicans in the Senate: What is your
price for giving hard-working men and women the raise they deserve? After
lavishing billions on the wealthiest Americans and largest corporations, can't
we give these workers $2.10 more an hour?
When does the greed stop?
That�s the question. That�s the issue. Make no mistake. They have piles of
amendments -- we have none.
It is absolutely essential that all who care about this clear issue of
conscience step up and make their voices heard now.
Please spread the word now and get others involved in this issue too:
What is it about the minimum wage that drives Republicans crazy?
Don't let them disguise their disdain for their fellow Americans by hiding it
behind a pile of hostile amendments.
In the past week of debate each Senator has made $3,800 -- more than a third
of what a minimum wage worker makes in a year! What is it about these
hard-working men and women that they find so offensive? Why would they poison
legislation on something as basic as the minimum wage?
It's time for some answers.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy

Reader Tip for a Relaxed Wedding Reception
By: Laurel Rupert
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Our wedding was in the beginning of July. We decided to have the reception outside under pavilions. To cover the tables, brown butcher paper was used. All of the tables were pushed together end to end in several rows. It made more of a family style feel and the whole roll of paper was only $40. For decorations we found very inexpensive adult-sized hats and put the date on the front. We also bought many packs of crayons and scattered the loose crayons on the tables. Wrapped candy and some other small toys completed the table dressing. It was fun and kept everyone entertained until we, the bride and groom, were able to join them. Many people commented on how relaxing the day was.

flower girl dress
Sep 11, 2010
That is such a great idea! Too many times people try to go with a fancy, expensive wedding. It keeps everybody uptight so they don't ruin the bride's big day. I am sure the little flower girl dresses and little ring bearers loved the crayons. That must have made their day.

text: Well I'm about to get on a plane to Hong Kong for a day+ in Disneyland (stop-over). We should be in the park tomorrow and Saturday. Any touring plan tips to beat the crowds? I keep thinking jump on the train at park opening to get to Mystic Point post-haste, for example. Also, is it worth going in the park for an hour before closing on this Thursday evening (should we arrive on time)? Many thanks!

TweetCraft is an in-game Twitter client for World of Warcraft, the wildly popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game by Blizzard Entertainment. If you're a WoW player you might like it because you can send and receive tweets in-game, upload screenshots to TwitPic, automatically tweet when you get an achievement, and more. Also, the overly dramatic video promo is fun.

A judge who sentenced Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid's sons to jail on Thursday likened the coach's home to "a drug emporium" and questioned whether his adult sons should live there.
"There isn't any structure there that this court can depend upon," Montgomery County Judge Steven O'Neill said before sentencing 22-year-old Britt Reid to up to 23 months in jail plus probation.
"I'm saying this is a family in crisis," O'Neill said.
Earlier Thursday, O'Neill sentenced 24-year-old Garrett Reid, a drug addict and dealer who said he got a thrill out of selling drugs in "the 'hood," to up to 23 months in jail for smashing into another motorist's car while high on heroin.
O'Neill noted that searches of the Reid home found illegal and prescription drugs throughout the house. He said both boys had been overmedicated throughout much of their lives and that Britt got hooked on painkillers when he suffered a football injury in high school.
"It sounds more or less like a drug emporium there, with the drugs all over the house, and you're an addict," O'Neill told Britt Reid.
Andy Reid and his wife, Tammy, were in court but declined to comment. The judge said the parents clearly loved and supported their children and had tried many times over the years to get them help.
"Andy and Tammy are supportive of their son. That has been their position since this all began. He will not comment on it," Garrett Reid's defense attorney, Ross Weiss, said before the judge's comments.
Both Weiss and Britt Reid's attorney, William Winning, declined to comment after the hearing. Andy and Tammy Reid were quickly escorted by sheriff's deputies and their personal bodyguard through the courthouse basement.
Eagles players went about their practice routine Thursday without Reid, but he was on plenty of minds. The Philadelphia Inquirer said it was Reid's first missed practice in his nine seasons with the franchise.
"That whole fatherhood thing is something foreign to me right now, but my mom used to always tell me, 'You never know love until you have kids,' " tight end L.J. Smith told the Inquirer. "I know he loves his kids, and I know it hurts him a lot to see them go through what they're going through. He probably feels like right now is the best time to show them that he still loves them and he wants to be there for them."
Both sons lived at their parents' home in the suburb of Villanova at the time of their arrests.
Andy Reid took a five-week leave from the Eagles in the offseason to deal with his family's troubles. He has routinely declined to discuss his sons' legal problems but said he would not resign from the team because of them.
On Thursday, Britt Reid said he did everything without his parents' knowledge, but O'Neill questioned that.
Both Reids can apply for a special drug court program that would require them to report to authorities regularly, undergo rigorous drug testing and hold down jobs.
The coach's two sons got into separate legal trouble Jan. 30.
Garrett Reid tested positive for heroin and admitted having used it that day. He ran a red light in Plymouth Township and hit another car. Authorities found syringes with heroin and testosterone in his SUV.
In a separate incident that same day, Britt Reid pointed a handgun at another driver following a dispute. He pleaded guilty to a string of charges, including carrying a firearm without a license, a felony.

Inhabits mainstreams of middle reaches in deep rocky rapids. Juveniles occur in tributaries (Ref. 58784). A large fast-swimming predator, feeding on fish of the middle and the upper water levels. Although most common along the Thai-Lao border at the mouth of the Mun River, its numbers have drastically decreased in recent years. This is perhaps due to dam construction or excessive gill netting, to which active pursuit predators, like this species, are particularly vulnerable (Ref. 12693). Undertakes upstream migration at the same time as Probarbus sp. in December-February (Ref. 37770) which may be related to spawning activity (Ref. 9497). Attains over 30 kg (Ref. 9497).

demonstrates that the proposed updating strategy, coupled with targeted pre census checking, would perform better than an approach incorporating a final universal pre census field check. In the absence of such an analysis, it might be wiser to reverse the burden of proof and develop criteria for exempting from an otherwise universal pre census check those areas for which an acceptably high level of accuracy from the updating processes can be confirmed. This approach would put the onus on demonstrating accuracy, rather than on spotting inaccuracy. Since developing an accurate MAF is the first step in taking the census, we reiterate its critical role in the decennial census.
Recommendation: The Census Bureau should develop and maintain on the MAF a system of quality indicators at or below the census tract level and should use these indicators as a means of identifying areas requiring special pre census field checking to bring them up to an acceptable level of quality.

"Dark Knight Strikes Again isn't as good as DKR, but if you can tolerate the excessively strange art then it's a read that's worth it."
"Allstar Batman & Robin was a fun read. Batman abused Robin and was a cruel man. "
Batman:Year One;One of the greatest batman stories of all time and and one of Millers greatest works
Whatever you do... do NOT get DK2!! It's attrociously bad! Both story and art are awful. Frank Miller has done a lot of good stuff in the past. Unfortunately everything from the last 10-15 years... not so good.
Hush, Long Halloween, Dark Victory... those are worthy stories without the dodgy Miller art.
Dark Knight Strikes Again isn't as good as DKR, but if you can tolerate the excessively strange art then it's a read that's worth it.
I think when it comes to All Star Batman and Robin you either love it, or hate it.
Not my cup of tea, which is fine.
Joker was fantastic, a work of art.
I loved dark knight returns and I also like All Star Batman quite a lot. But I see where your coming from with Frank Miller, he reminds me of George Lucas where he created something great and then spent the rest of his career tearing it down. As for The Dark Knight Strikes Again; The first two chapters were supurb but the last chapter is total crap and ruins the whole Batman and Robin team. Some great Batman books that I love are;
1. The Joker ( If you want a more of a movie style Joker with an extremly gritty take on all the characters.)
2. City of Crime
3.Hush Returns
I love Hush, and have Absolute Long Halloween which is probably the greatest Harvey Dent Story ever written.
I'll probably check out Batman: Year One
I agree with babs. D
Hey what about Batman: Year One, Babs? Very enjoyable story.
Go check out Sin City if you want some good gritty Frank Miller stories.
All Star Batman and Robin I find enjoyable, only because I don't take it seriously at all, I laugh at every page of it, it's a fun read for me.
The Dark Knight Strikes Again is good, well I enjoyed it, some others wouldn't agree as much, interesting story, has alot of the other DCU characters in it, pretty good overall, kinda wierd/flashy art. Pick it up if you want the complete story.
If you can find, Batman: The Cult, is was written in like 1988 right before Jason was killed, imagine Dark Knight Returns with some Grant Morrison thrown into the mix, veyr enjoyable read, and one of the few (if not only) book that has Jason alive as Robin.
Hush is also a very good Batman story, also read The Long Halloween and Dark Victory by Jeph Loeb, has every villain (mostly) and focuses on a few that arent usely in the limelight

Missing Blue Phasers
I put in a ticket#00003538. When I received my Constitution class starship it was equipped with Blue Phasers. The next time I logged in they were gone and replaced by the kind I had on my original ship. The response I received was "Thank you for contacting Cryptic Studios, in reviewing the issue you described we found that this function appears to be working correctly. If you believe that the function should be different, please feel free to submit feedback in the Official Forums". This did not fix the problem of my phasers dis-appearing and seems like a canned response. Please correct this and put them back in my inventory.

How To Avoid Duplicate Data In Report?
How To Avoid Duplicate Data In Report? (Access 2007)
I am having problem with duplicate data appearing in the report. I have selected all fields and in the property sheet I have selected "Yes" for the Hide Duplicate fields.
In the query design, I have selected "Yes" for the Unique records field. I am attaching the report where you can see that the data is being repeated (circled in red).
Access 2010: Find, hide, or eliminate duplicate data
Duplicate data can cause confusion that might cost you money, trust or goodwill. For example, a duplicate record might result in a perishable delivery to the wrong address. Access can help you avoid duplicate data by providing ways to reuse data, and help prevent duplicate data input by requiring that new values be unique.
Create a Query in Microsoft Access to Find Duplicate Entries in a Table
There are many causes for duplicate data: for instance if you have multiple users entering data simultaneously via linked tables, or you might inherit a table with duplicate data already entered.
Running into duplicate data in an Access Database can be quite annoying during the hectic workday, so I decided to write up a technique to help identify the duplicate records so you can manually handle them.
Duplicate records not showing on report
I have created a report from a query. There are duplicate last names in the table (which is just fine). E.g., I have 2 "Hogan"s and they are different persons and I want them both to show up on the report.
My query produces the correct result showing the duplicates but the report only shows 1 of the duplicates. I'm grouping on the last name (PrimaryLastName). Whatis the report doing to my duplicate records from the query? How do I fix that?

Duplicate records showing on reports
Please can anyone advise me, I have a filter query that works fine on a form but when I try and create it as a report, I get a duplicate record/report for every entry on my subform.
i.e. Mr Joe Bloggs, (I have three entries in my subtable), these appear only appear once on my form but when I try and run the report I get a separate report for each entry from the subfrom i.e 3 duplicates
msg box on duplicate entry
I've a form which captures data from user. I want to ensure that when the first field PID is entered it should check for duplicate data in that table and immediately throw a mesg confirming that this data is duplicate . Please assist
Whats the best way to stop duplicate date entries?
Were using a single table to record daily data the date field is set as the pk so only one record per date is allowed.
If the user enters a date (when creating a new record) that already exists in the table what is the best way to
a) avoid the Access error message about duplicate values
b) allows the user to enter an alternative date for the new record?
Display duplicate massage
I am using access 2003 at the moment.Some times I don'n know if I enter duplicate data in a field(I accept duplicate data in this field ) but I still want to write code in vba so it candisplay a massage when I enter duplicate data in this field .
Find, hide, or eliminate duplicate data
This article explains how to find and hide or eliminate duplicate data by using Microsoft Office Access 2007. As a rule, you should delete duplicate values whenever possible to reduce costs and increase the accuracy of your data. Office Access 2007 provides a number of ways to find and hide or delete duplicate values, and this article explains how to use the most common methods.
What do you want to do?
* Understand duplicate data
* Prepare some sample data
* Find and edit, hide, or delete duplicate data in a single table
* Find and edit, hide, or delete duplicate data in multiple tables
Preventing duplicate records for payroll entries
I have working payroll generation database which I am trying to improve.
One issue I am trying to avoid is not to allow duplicate records made for employee more than once in a month, so the idea would be to check if one record already exists with same pay date before the submit macro is called. Using Access 2k10, either macro or vba works for me.
Check and Remove duplicate data using Access
How can I check that their is an duplicate data in the table and after checked how can I remove.It's easy to set up a query to show all duplicate data by using the query wizard,but how cani remove 1 instance of the duplicate?
There's no restrictions on the data table.
Duplicate form
I have a form that I use for data entry. I also use it with two queries to send in PDF format via email. Is there a way to Copy the form and save it with a different name so I don't have to keep changing the record source? I am trying to avoid designing the exact same form again
Text Import Error: "...not successful because they would create duplicate values..."
I have a file exported from an accounting system that has no extension. The type just says "file". When I had Windows XP, I added the .txt extension (in the file name itself without opening) and was able to import the file into Access without issue.
With Windows 7, it seems that this practice leads to the following error when the file is imported to Access:
"The changes you requested to this table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, the primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field orfields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."
I know that none of the fields of the destination table are indexed and there is no primary key. The table has not changed in between the windows conversion. In addition, I get the sameerror if I import into a new table.
My current work around is to open the .lis file in Excel and save it as text with no further modification to the file. When this is done, the file imports flawlessly. I would like to avoid this as the file is very large and it takes some time to open.
other than something related to the primary key or index (which again I do not have).
How to create subrecords?
I would like to have 2 tables, 1 containing all data entry ( which I currently have ) 2nd table showing past and present history on table 2 of the original most updated record I have in table 1.
Purpose ; to avoid duplicate data entry in table 1, just have specific information on table 2,
I have 1 form connecting to the main table, second table has a relationship with the first table through PK.but I am stuck from here.
Hyperlink primary key duplicate entries
I'm making a database for my company in order to store reports. I have imported more than 2000 entries from the existing spreadsheet into database form.
However, my problem is that the unique report number from the excel file (for example '5000') is also a hyperlink to the corresponding report on the server.
In my database, when I set these report number hyperlinks as my primary key; it seems that I can input duplicate report numbers even though I have chosen for it to be indexed. I think thisis due to the fact that access recognises the whole path of the hyperlink (for example, '5000#hyperlink path#') instead of just the report name '5000'.
with the report number '5000' again, this would not create a duplicate violation as it would not be yet linked to a document on creation (or so I think).
Is there any way to prevent duplicates for just the hyperlink name (I.e. '5000') as opposed to the whole hyperlink including path?
Hi, How do we avoid repeated records?
I have 3 queries that contains different information. And I want to combine them so that my Report will have a common "drawingNo", "Title" and 2 sets of data each from different queries.
When I run the queries, there will be repeated records. Is there a way to avoid this? may I know how
duplicate values
Im trying to stop users from entering the same client name in two difference records in the same table - lead activity report.
I ran a query to find duplicate values - client name, in the table "lead activity report." Then in the lead activity report table, under the properties for "Client Name" text box, I entered a macro which basically should return a message box if there are duplicate values in the query, but its not working and I cant seem to figure out why
Query to find id's with duplicate data across multiple tables
I have 6 tables with the same design but the data is different because they are pulling data from 6 different places (it is an ODBC connection to other databases).
I want to create a report that will show me the id for each row.
The table design is: employeeID, SSN, Name .
So, I want a report that will show me every SSN and for each SSN, I want to see the employeeID (if it exists) for each table.
The columns for the report would be: SSN, employeeID1, employeeID2, employeeID3, employeeID4, employeeID5, employeeID6
Duplicate Values across unique records
I am creating a table that lists Jobs. In this table there is a PartNumber field that will contain duplicate values. Can I check for duplicate values as I enter data into that field and when found populate the rest of that record? I want the repeat parts to be identical on my table so analyzing and manipulating the data will be easier and more accurate.

Meet Dr Ahmed Mohyeldin
sacral chordoma (MRI)
This month's Spotlight on Research in the Quiñones Lab focuses on the work of Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Ahmed Mohyeldin and his work on a rare bone cancer that may offer important clues to help the fight against brain cancer.
This rare cancer is called a chordoma, a type of bone tumor that is just as aggressive as brain cancer but often grows in the spine and the base of the skull. Chordomas are notorious for being resistant to chemotherapy and radiation and despite the most aggressive surgical measures taken they often recur.
Dr Ahmed Mohyeldin
Dr Mohyeldin and his team that includes graduate students Sagar R. Shah, Ishrat Ahmed, and Guillermo Vela, as well as Post-doctoral fellows Hadie Adams and Javier Avendaño have focused their efforts on understanding what makes this cancer so aggressive. With the help of cell culture technologists Kesha Johnson and Liron Noiman the team has been able to successfully grow these cancer cells in the laboratory to study them more closely. In fact, they are one of the first teams to ever successfully grow these cancer cells and fully characterize them.
These newly established chordoma cell lines have yielded some interesting clues to how this cancer grows. The team has focused their research around a unique developmental protein called Brachyury that is highly expressed in chordoma cells. This unique protein, which is supposed to be only expressed during a specific time during human development, gets turned on aberrantly (unusually) in chordoma cells.
The team has recently found that even brain cancers including gliomas and gliosarcomas are also able to turn on this protein as well and exploit its function to maintain cancer growth. In fact, the team is finding out that this protein may be the reason why gliomas and other aggressive cancers are so resistance to current therapy.
Dr Quiñones and the team hope that by better understanding chordomas and the role Brachyury plays in their biology, we can find more strategic molecular targets in brain cancer.
Learn more about Dr Quiñones and ongoing research at the Johns Hopkins Neurosurgery Brain Tumor Stem Cell Lab.

Autism advocates, while well-intentioned, cull more research dollars. "I won't say it takes away from other disorders, but [they] somehow influence Congress and have a better opportunity to see that their interests are funded," said Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsopp, pediatrician and epidemiologist for the CDC.
While autism is getting all the attention these days, pediatricians say another serious neurological disorder has a lower publicity profile but occurs in similar frequencies among children -- epilepsy and seizures.
The Epilepsy Foundation does not pull out statistics for older children and young adults, but report that about one-half of 1 percent of children are diagnosed under the age of 15. Autism statistics -- which include young adults with Asperger's syndrome -- show less than 1 percent of all children have the disorder.
Epilepsy is the third most common neurological disorder in the United States after Alzheimer's disease and stroke and is equal in prevalence to cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease combined.
Like autism, its diagnosis can be elusive -- unless a child has a seizure right in the doctor's office -- and the risk of sudden death is 24 times higher than in the general population. An estimated 25,000 to 50,000 will die this year of seizures and related causes.
The foundation raises $80 million a year, and increased autism campaigns have not undermined its fundraising efforts, according to Eric Hargis, president and CEO.
Autism advocacy "helps raise awareness of issues around health and that helps all of us," said Hargis. "Our mission is to encourage people with epilepsy to speak out and let their friends and high-profile colleagues know to do likewise."
Hargis said his foundation has learned a lot from the autism groups. "When celebrities are involved, they make a huge difference."
The foundation has recently found its own celebrity spokesman -- Greg Grunberg of the television shows "Alias" and "Heroes." His son Jake was diagnosed with pediatric epilepsy in 2003 after Grunberg and his wife, Elizabeth, noticed his peculiar staring spells.
Grunberg enlisted the support of Hollywood friends Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman to donate original finger paintings to be auctioned off for epilepsy research.
"If you're talking about other neurological organizations like autism, we see ourselves as colleagues and partners," said Hargis. "Yes, we are out there to get out our message, but not to battle it out for public consciousness."
But other groups say medical charities are in fact battling it out of research dollars at the National Institutes of Health.
"When these resources are expanding, there has been room for most of the participants in the process to feel that they are winning," according to an August article in Nature magazine. "Now that the budget of the largest research agency in the world is effectively frozen, there are likely to be more losers."
"We are lacking vision and leadership that leads us on a scientific basis," said Sharon Terry, president and CEO of the Genetic Alliance, which supports genetic advocacy. "We don't have somebody sitting down and saying not just my disease, but this disease makes the most sense."
What the nation needs, said Terry, is a coordinated and cohesive system of allocating research money.
"It's easier in a way as a nation to grab on to celebrities and stories," said Terry, "than to understand how science solves diseases for a nation."

– Russ W. Bill, Fountain Valley
June 21, 1941, school is out, it is the first day of summer, and I have just finished my freshman year at Wiley High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. And in 1941 in Terre Haute, it is traditional for boys finishing their freshman year to get a summer job, earn money, and stop depending on parental hand outs.
Me and three of my buddies land our first summer job at a large plant making cardboard boxes. They are tied into big flat bundles of 50 and loaded by fork lift into a box car. We students lifted them off the fork lift and stacked them tightly in the box car. It is sweaty, back-breaking work, and that first check for $42 makes us instant millionaires.
And on Sunday, Dec. 7 of this year, Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, and we are at war.
A year later, 1942, I am a sophomore, and again school is out and summer is a calendar reality. This year we get jobs at the local Quaker Maid plant, producer of spaghetti, macaroni, and peanut butter. I end up with spaghetti, feeding great balls of dough to a pressing machine.
Some days I work the machine, other days the rack on the floor below. The machine is treacherous, never get your fingers under the press, or they become spaghetti. The drying oven is hell on earth and I leave sweat marks on the floor pushing the racks. But our pay has improved: a weekly check for $48.
In 1943, as a junior, I get a summer job at a small pie-only bakery two blocks from home. It is Parks Purity Pies, and Bill, the son of the owner, is one of my classmates. Just he and I, every day, make some 100 pies, three flavors only – apple, cherry, peach. It is a strenuous job, mixing dough for the crust, opening big cans of fruit, creating the pie in a pan, and pushing it with a long-handled spatula into a hot oven. It is a 10-hour day, but hey, the pay: I'm at $55 a week!
I graduate from Wiley High School in June of 1944, and a week later turn 18. At 18, all boys must register for the draft. I am classified 1-A. A few weeks later I am at Fort Riley, Kansas, a private in the U.S. Army. My summer job will be six months of intense basic training, including an M-1 rifle, hand grenades, reveille at 6 a.m., taps at 9 p.m. But hey my pay, now a dollar a day, is $30 a month – and take home a microscopic $19.
Summer still exists in Terre Haute, but Wiley High School, the box plant, Quaker Maid, and Parks Purity Pies are long gone.
– Jim Shaffer, Laguna Woods
My favorite summer memory is asters in early September 1966. I made a large curved flowerbed about 6-feet in diameter in our backyard. There I planted giant asters from seed. They grew close to 5 feet tall and had large frothy blooms in pastels. So gorgeous.
During the summer evenings after dinner, my family played fun croquet games on the lawn. My father built a little wood bench, and set it with chairs by the flowerbed. After playing croquet, we sat near the asters to have coffee. The asters were a bit taller than our heads when sitting down.
We sipped our coffee in the lush California twilight. The delicate blooms and soft fragrance of nearby roses were so sweet. We talked about everything and nothing at all, just family chatter. I loved those evenings.

Binay defends Aquino against 'noynoying'
MANILA, Philippines—Give President Benigno Aquino a break.
This was Vice President Jejomar Binay's message on Wednesday to militant student groups behind the new form of protest called "noynoying."
"Tigilan n'yo na ang ating Presidente (Give our President a break)… Can you imagine that the President eh di nagtatrabaho (is not working)? Siguro naman kahit ang mga barangay captains nagtatrabaho, di ba (Even barangay captains work, don't they)?" Binay told reporters on the sidelines of the Chamber of Thrift Banks convention at a Makati City hotel.
He pointed out that contrary to the claims of Aquino's critics, the country has a working President.
The term "noynoying," a pun on the President's nickname, involves lying on the ground or just sitting or standing, looking bored and doing nothing.
According to student leader Anakbayan chair Vencer Crisostomo the nearly effortless pose is a symbolic jab at the President, who, he said, has done nothing to cushion the impact of or prevent the spike in crude prices and tuition fees.
"He has not lifted a finger, but he should be doing something. That is 'noynoying,' when you do nothing when in fact you have something to do," he added.
Meanwhile, the Office of the Vice President announced on Wednesday that Binay will represent the President during this weekend's 2nd Nuclear Security Summit in South Korea and is leaving for Seoul on Saturday afternoon.
The summit is expected to gather around 50 heads of state, including US President Barack Obama, who initiated the holding of a summit on nuclear security in 2009 in Washington, DC.
In a statement, Binay said "nuclear security is a concern that exceeds all geopolitical boundaries and demands a clear and universal response from all democracies. Through this summit, we hope to promote a wider awareness and understanding of nuclear security."
"We hope to gain additional insights from (other summit participants) for our National Nuclear Security Plan, our main roadmap for strengthening nuclear safety and security," he added.
Binay is expected to meet with President Herman van Rompuy of the European Council and President Jose Manuel Barroso of the European Commission during breaks in the Seoul summit to "discuss the Philippines and EU's common interests in international migration, extend the country's readiness to assist the EU in its manpower requirements and seek the EU's support in the protection of Filipino migrant workers."
Aside from being the government's housing czar, Binay is also presidential adviser on overseas Filipino workers' concerns.
While in Seoul, the vice president will also meet with key officials of the Gangwon Group of Companies, Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction Corp. and the Saekyong Group, as well as Minister Kwon Do-youp of the Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, the government agency in charge of housing in South Korea.
Binay is also scheduled to hold a dialog with leaders of the Filipino community at the Philippine embassy, and attend wreath-laying ceremonies at the War Memorials in Yongsan-gu District and Goyang City.

Aramis Ramirez "clearly is on the Marlins' radar"
Sep 19, 2011, 10:15 AM EDT
Last week Aramis Ramirez explained that he'll be looking for a multi-year contract as a free agent if the Cubs do as expected and decline his $16 million option for next season and Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports that the Marlins figure to be one of his strongest suitors.
Frisaro calls Ramirez "one of the more realistic big names that clearly is on the Marlins' radar" and speculates that they envision an infield with Ramirez at third base, Hanley Ramirez at shortstop, Omar Infante at second base, and Gaby Sanchez at first base.
Of course, Frisaro also writes that "Ramirez would bring an established defensive presence" and he's pretty terrible defensively, posting a below average Ultimate Zone Rating in each of the past four seasons.
Matt Dominguez has been viewed as the Marlins' long-term answer at third base. He may not be quite MLB-ready yet, but certainly would be before a two- or three-year deal for the 33-year-old Ramirez expired.

Of course, Frisaro also writes that "Ramirez would bring an established defensive presence"
Well of COURSE he would bring an established defensive presence. He's already established he can't defensively man the hot corner. That's certainty in baseball for you. At least the Marlins know what to expect.
- Old Gator - Sep 19, 2011 at 2:04 PM
The thing is, the Feesh haven't had a real third baseman since Mike Lowell – and the front orifice is correct in doubting the readiness of Matt Dominguez, the "defensive wizard" who has been rising through the organizing for what seems like forever like a diamond in a future kimberlite pipe. There are a couple of problems: Dominguez doesn't hit very well, minor league pitching included. And though he has sure hands – I had a girlfriend like that once but never mind – he's not very fast. In fact, he needed extensive surgery at birth to remove a set of caterpillar treads from below each ankle, but they seem to have grown back in the meantime, like a lizard's tail. Ergo, his quickness to either side is kinda limited – if you hit something right at him he'll get it and throw accurately to second, first or home much unlike his recent predecessors. Hit it more than a step or two to his left and you gotta depend on Tweeter and his gimpy knee to go fetch it. It doesn't take much to be a defensive wizard at third for the Feesh when you consider what the last five years have been like.
And I am opposed in principle to bringing in anyone from the Cubs because they're probably infected with that prion-vectored neurological disease from Indonesia, Die Vloek van der Geitbok.

President who sealed college transcripts blabs about daughter's test scores
Compare and contrast:
Senator Obama's life story, from his humble roots, to his rise to Harvard Law School, to his passion as a community organizer in Chicago, has been at the center of his presidential campaign. But one chapter of the tale remains a blank — his education at Columbia College, a place he rarely speaks about and where few people seem to remember him.
Contributing to the mystery is the fact that nobody knows just how well Mr. Obama, unlike Senator McCain and most other major candidates for the past two elections, performed as a student.
The Obama campaign has refused to release his college transcript, despite an academic career that led him to Harvard Law School and, later, to a lecturing position at the University of Chicago. The shroud surrounding his experience at Columbia contrasts with that of other major party nominees since 2000, all whom have eventually released information about their college performance or seen it leaked to the public.
Obama Uses Malia's Test Scores as a Teaching Example
President Obama marked the first anniversary of his election on Wednesday by calling on states to toughen their education standards – and wound up calling on parents to toughen theirs, too, as he confessed that his 11-year-old daughter, Malia, recently got a 73 on her science test.
(Note to parents: In Malia's defense, the story has a happy ending: she studied hard and came home on Tuesday with a grade of 95.)
… Then, to a chorus of oooohs from the crowd, he said that Malia, a sixth-grader at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, had come home with a 73 on her science test not long ago. He recounted how, a few years ago, she had come home with a grade in the 80s, believing that she had ''done pretty well.'' He and his wife corrected her, telling her that their goal was "90 percent and up.''
"So here's the interesting thing: she started internalizing that,'' the president said, adding that when she came home with a 73 on the science test ''she was depressed.'' He asked her what happened, and she said the study guide didn't match up with the test. So she vowed to study harder.
"So she came home yesterday, she got a 95,'' Mr. Obama said. "But here' the point: She said, 'You know , I just like having knowledge.''
Obama Rule #1: Leave their kids out of the public square…except when the White House needs them to sell domestic policy.
Obama Rule #2: Keep academic details private…except when the White House needs them to sell domestic policy.

Eiffel tower-Sapporo style
At the east of Odori Park is the TV Tower. It is 90 meters high and has a 360 degree of the city and souvenir shops below it. It's one of the hard to miss landmarks of the city. Admission is 700 yen and opens from 930 am to 9 pm.
Visit Farm Tomita in Kamifurano.
Furano is known for its lavenders...Even if we were a bit too late because we didn't visit Hokkaido until autumn, we still made it a point to go to Furano and see the endless hills of flowers. Most of these flowers are actually located in Kamifurano so you still need to take a train to Kamifurano from Furano but the ride is relatively shorter. During summer and weekends on Sept and October, they even have a temporary station called Lavender Station which makes it very near Farm Tomita (just 7 minutes walk). We were not disappointed as there are indeed lots of Autumn flowers and they are equally beautiful. It's open from 9am to 430 pm. Admission is free.
Furano: Smell the flowers at Farm Tomita
Most visitors to the farm arrive from early July to catch the lavender season in summer, when Farm Tomita's lavender field (and the surrounding hillsides) is awash in purple and the scent of lavender is hangs sweetly in the air.
However, besides its lavender blooms, the farm also cultivates a wide range of colourful flowers, from poppies and tulips to sunflowers and marigolds. These start to bloom in mid-April and continue to do so until mid-October, so don't be too disappointed if you miss the burst of lavender - enjoy the other pretty flowers instead!
The farm itself is an interesting place to explore. Other than the requisite gift shops, visitors can also take a look at its dried flower house, which is Japan's largest dried flower exhibition halls. There is also the potpourri house and the perfume workshop, from where visitors can admire the Tokachi Mountain range, and observe how essential oils are blended into perfume. The farm's distillery workshop, is the only lavender essential oil producing workshop in Japan. Those who visit in July or August can take the opportunity to observe how essential oils are extracted from lavender.
If the lavender isn't yet in bloom, one can still enjoy the beatiful flowers inside the farm's green house, where lavender blooms even in winter.
Finally, ice cream lovers should definitely not miss the soft, smooth, fragrant and absolutely delicious lavender ice cream sold at the farm!
Note: If you wish to smoke, you are only allowed to do so at designated areas. Pets are also not allowed inside the farm's facilities.
Go to an Ainu Village
The Ainu today are the descendants of the original peoples of Honshu & Hokkaido.
The Ainu culture was forced to assimilate
to Japanese culture and as a result much
of their culture has been lost.
Some of the Ainu I met look very different than regular Japanese. I felt as if some of
them resembled American Indians more so than Japanese.
The Ainu village we went to offers a number of different arts & crafts items.Related to:

NISHIN GOTEN (Herring mansion) at OTARU

The Sapporo Ice Festival: Spectacular
...At the time of my visit in 2010, the Sapporo Ice Festival had been going on for 61 years and showed no signs of getting old. In fact, at this festival the Japanese Army (yes, the Army) was in the process of building the tallest sculpture ever to be featured at the festival -- a 26-meter high model of a greman cathedral.
...Since we went to Hokkaido to ski, we actually avoided the official days of the event, as such timing would have had a negative effect on the price of our lodging. However, we were there just days before the opening, so we saw many ice sculptures in their final stages or even completed. And I'm very certain that watching the construction of some of these intricate and/or mammoth edifaces was worth being there early for. Many scultpures were the work of teams of skilled craftsman, and the efforts showed.
...We went to view the sculptures both at night and during the day. However, the lights go out at 9:30 at night during the period before the festival, so you have to get out at a decent hour.Related to:

Lake Shikotsu-ko: ice free with ice scuptures
...Lake Shikosu-ko is well-known as Japan's northernmost ice-free lake, which results from its depth. A calderic lake, it's clear blue water makes it look inviting for a swim, even in the middle of winter. Surrounded by mountains, it is clearly a jewel of Hokkaido, though the shore is more built up than one would expect for a National Park.
...In the winter, a little corner of Lake Shikotsu's is converted into an ice village, complete with ice-homes, an ice fort and even an ice cathedral. There are ice slides that children play on and a flat rink for sliding around on. We were really impressed with the size and beauty of the structures as the shimmered in the cold sunshine. I even took my turn sliding down the ice slide with all the children!Related to:

Shop and dine or just stroll in Otaru
Otaru is just half and hour away from Sapporo but you'd feel like you're transported to another far away place. It's a canal town and played an important part in the herring industry. It is attractive and picturesque and it's a favorite afternoon or weekend gateaway of locals and foreigners alike. Just stroll along the different shops, have some yummy sashimi or sushi and finish your meal with a dessert.
Endless hills of Biei
Biei is a favorite among artists and nature-lovers. The open fields, often covered by lavender and poppies are so different from the mainland that you'd often wonder if you have left Japan? Some famous sites include the Ken and Mary Trees, the Seven Stars Tree, the Family Tree and some of the famous arts and galleries like Takushinkan. Visit it anytime of the year and stay a day or two and you won't be sorry.
Shop and eat at the Fish Market!
Nijo Fish Market is one of Sapporo's best. Buy a bowl of rice and select your own sashimi toppings, gawk at fresh delicacies or sit down at a shop. Prices are reasonable and seafood are fresh. Fresh Salmon and Salmon Roe over rice is our favorite. Snow crabs are very popular, too! It's open from 7am to 6 pm although individual shops will have different opening and closing times.
Stroll along Odori Park
Odori Park is is a major city feature. Dividing the city north to south, it is the site of many events throughout the year. But what is nice about it is the greens and flowers that dot the entire park and the benches around it. It's just nice to have a stroll or sit on the benches and do people-watching. If the sun is out, the feeling of sitting here doing nothing is a bliss ;-)
Asahikawa: Sample Otokoyama Sake
In the Hokkaido's second largest city, sample one of Japan's historic brands of sake at the Otokoyama Sake Brewery & Museum. Inside the building, you can find out more about the history of the company, how sake is made and also view a large woodblock print (ukiyo-e) collection.
With the compound, is a lovely garden to stroll in and have some pictures taken.
Opening hours are 9am to 5pm daily. Entry is free.
Sapporo: Sapporo Brewery
This is the original site of the Sapporo Brewery, which was the first brewery established in Japan back in 1876. Visitos can find out how the beer is brewed and also the history of the company. At the end of the tour, visitors can of course sample the variety of beer on the tap, accompanied by cheese and crackers.
Some quirky souvenirs available at the souvenir store include caramel beer candy, postcards featuring geisha ads from way back when, notebooks and all sorts of other nicknacks.
Free tours of the museum are conducted between 9am to 3.40pm.

ECHL Game Night: 3/30/11Submitted by chad on March 31, 2011 - 08:45
South Carolina Stingrays 1 @ Florida Everblades 4
LW Alex Hutchings: 1-0-1, +1, 4 PIM (spearing attempt), 4 SOG
Season totals: 48 GP, 13-13-26, -9, 37 PIM
G Jaroslav Janus: Did not play (backup)
Season totals: 27 GP, 12-13-0-0, 3.06 GAA, .912 sv%, 0 SO
The 'Blades pulled ahead of South Carolina and Wheeling for fourth in the East after beating the Stingrays 4-1 in the first game of a three game set to finish the regular season. It's possible these teams could play 10 games in a row as they could be meeting each other in the first round of the playoffs. South Carolina is currently in sixth, but just two points behind Florida and one behind Wheeling. All have played 70 games. Alex Hutchings scored his 13th goal of the season then ignited a brawl of sorts after the play by attempting to spear an opponent. Jarsolav Janus sat backup to Mike Zacharias (34/35) in his latest return to the ECHL from Norfolk.

In addition, the Tampa Bay Lightning, NHL parent club of the Admirals, have reassigned goaltender Jaroslav Janus (YAHR-oh-slahv YAHN-ihs) from the Admirals to the ECHL's Florida Everblades, Lightning Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman announced today.
Nagle, 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning last week. He played in 37 games with the Ferris State (Mich.) Bulldogs this season, posting an 18-14-5 record with a 2.02 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. He ranked fifth in NCAA Division-1 in GAA, tied for ninth for shutouts with three and tied for 10th in save percentage. Nagle also set school records for GAA and was tied for second in save percentage.

Ouch. The 'Blades had a chance to clinch a playoff berth Saturday, but failed to show up, getting outshot 39-18 and outscored 5-0 as Wheeling won their second game of a three game mini-series in southwest Florida. Hutchings did not register a shot in the game. Florida will play South Carolina three times at home this week to close the regular season. The 'Blades remain one point up on South Carolina for fourth in the East, and five points up on ninth place Toledo. Florida had a 30-minute players-only meeting after the game, reported the Naples Daily News.

Hutchings broke a four game pointless streak with his 12th goal of the season and the 'Blades overcame a late tying goal by Wheeling to gain two important points in the standings. Former Lightning draftee Dusty Collins had the shootout winner and was First Star for the game. Hutchings did not convert his shootout attempt. Newcomer Mike Zacharias got the win in net for Florida, who moved up to fourth in the East, one point ahead of South Carolina. Florida will play Wheeling Saturday in the final game of their three game set. Wheeling won the first game. (Everblades photo)

Bobby Goepfert stopped 23 of 26 shots to take the loss for Florida Wednesday in the first game of a three game set with Wheeling. Alex Hutchings did not register a shot for the second straight game. With five games left, Florida (74 points) is one point behind South Carolina for fourth in the East with a game in hand, but just one point up on Wheeling and Elmira, who are tied for sixth. Cincinnati is in eighth with 72 points. The 'Blades put some distance between them and ninth-place Gwinnett (67 points) with a three game road sweep last weekend. Goaltender Jaroslav Janus is currently with AHL Norfolk.
