The old saying goes that everyone complains about the weather but no one ever does anything about it. Well, MidPoint is doing something about the crummy weather: They're having the music festival anyway.
Come down to Fountain Square at 5-7 p.m. for two performances by MPMF.09 acts: Shanya Zaid & the Catch from New York City (5:00), followed by The Young Republic from Nashville (6:15). Grab a beer and food and plot your MPMF itinerary for the rest of the evening.
Four beers, a couple of brats and one regrettable weekend at Oktoberfest later, I'm ready to see what else Cincinnati has to offer in terms of merrymaking. Midpoint Music Festival is supposed to be the real deal, and my hopes are high. I've had my fill of jacked-up prices on warm keg beer and German interpretations of musical blunders such as the chicken dance song.
I've sprained my neck.* I'm taking Vicodin and Thursday night is the first night of MidPoint Music Festival. When my editor told me my review should be first-person and to "think, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," I snorted at just how closely it might come given my current intake of prescription drugs.
No longer stoked for the experience but realizing it's far too late to get out of going, I texted my friend, Rachel, on Wednesday night. Was she going? Could I tag along with her? The buddy system seemed like a good idea this time around. She immediately told me sure and that she had planned to see Andrew Bird, Best Coast & Dirty Projectors on Thursday.
Thursday evening, I stroll toward Washington Park. There aren't tons of people out at 7:45, but it's still early in the week and early in the night. There are still enough people that it's easy to walk mindlessly at the heels of a group of scarf-donning 20-somethings and end up where I need to be to meet my friends.
I glance around, but I don't try too hard to find Rachel. She's one of those people you hear before you see. Instead, I find a spot near the sound booth between two relatively attractive and seemingly girlfriend-less guys, pull out my phone and begin to send texts and emails.
By 8:10, I'm bitching, though.She knows I'm jacked up on painkillers. If I wander off with some heavily bearded rapist in skinny jeans, thinking he's Rach, it's all her fault. Mostly importantly, I'm absolutely distraught that I shaved my legs yesterday. I've always had this strange idea that if I'm about to get raped, I'll just say, "You don't want me. It's a hot mess down there." I think he'll be disgusted by my lack of feminine upkeep leave me alone. Now I'll never know if that line works! Has anyone already tried it? I'll have to Google it later.
It's 8:20 and I still don't see Rachel. I do, however, see a tall, lanky shadow near the ATMs and he's laughing. It's Dan. I text Rach for confirmation and then head over to find him with a few other people I know. (They have names, too, but they're really irrelevant for tonight.)
We make a few bad jokes and then Andrew Bird starts with zero fanfare. He just launches into his music, people applaud in surprise, and he carries on It's a beautiful view. Andrew Bird has these slowly spinning art-installations that look like plumes of smoke and a very cool rotating double-Vitrolla-like thing. Above the roof of the stage glows the pretty, white flora-inspired window of Music Hall. Last time I went to Music Hall for the Opera, I was probably parked just about where my friends and I currently stood.
He's good. His whistles have me staring at him in expectation. Where are the little animated birds fluttering toward him with ribbons for his hair and water for his face? It's all just so pretty. I'm mesmerized.
Until my foot lands on something hard and round. Is it a sprinkler head? Yes. I know this without having to look at it. And yet, drop my head and try to find the small black circle as it hides out in the grass and my shadow. I don't see it. But I feel it, right under my foot. It finally occurs to me that I should lift my foot and I immediately stumbled into Rachel and Dan, who shrug off my apologies. Figuring out how long I've known Dan requires higher math than I'm capable of, but he's used to my stumbling into him.
The stumbling and bumping calls my attention to the fact that Andrew Bird is playing not only an entirely new song but also he's in an entirely different spot. He's near an upright bass, hovering over an old microphone and making music I love oh-so-much. Still, when it's back to the usual stuff, I'm not the only one feeling the weight of his mellow music.
It's decided that we need caffeine. Fast.
As half our group strides through back alleys and around clusters of people, Rachel tries, to no avail, to tell us that Yelp says Coffee Emporium closes at 8 p.m. She's like one of Andrew Bird's birds, she sounds nice in all the chaos, but she's having a hard time rising above it. In the end, it takes standing in front of Coffee Emporium's darkened doors for Dan and I to admit defeat.
Ira's (Iris? I can never remember) is closed, too.
So, we do what any sensible, caffeine depraved people would do: We send Dan to his apartment to make us some while we go stand on Clay and watch Best Coast through a fence.
No one will ever convince me this isn't the best view for their show. Sure, you can't see their faces. But, you can still pick up on all their energy and hear things perfectly. Mostly, though, you also get to see the rest of the crowd dancing like crazy fools, singing along and having an awesome time. Standing outside that fence, I think I enjoyed the energy far more than I would if I were amidst those flying elbows and twitching hips.
Dan and, our friend, Erik are back.
They brought camp chairs and no coffee.
We utilize the chairs and this awesome see-saw for a hot minute before Dan gets a text about Bluegrass at Mr. Pitiful's and then we're off, again. I'm still not entirely sure what our friends were talking about at this point. They came out giddy over the .5 seconds of music they heard that sounded Bluegrass and Irish. (Despite knowing Dan for at least half my life, I'm still surprised by how absolutely stoked he is about this.) They mentioned a name that I don't see anywhere on Mr. Pitiful's Thursday line-up. However, on Friday we're all meeting up at the Midway at 5p, where they are, apparently, playing again.
Despite multiple pleas of, "Are you sure we shouldn't support our friend?" and "We could at least peak in and say 'Hi,'" we don't make it into Mr. Pitiful's to say reassuring things to Young Heirloom's Chris Rob.** For a brief second I contemplate making a stand. I'll stand like Superman and demand we give this musician-man our dues!
Except they're talking about caffeine, again, and if they go too far, I'll never find them. Even not on my best of days, OTR is like that tricked out maze in Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. Except Lord Voldemort is played by a skinny, African American guy who comes up to Dan while we're still on Main Street.
"Hey man, have you ever been tazed?" he asks my friend.
A bright light flashes and I'm terrified for my one-time best friend. What's that disarmament spell? But it's just a watch or a flash light or something and Dan, who I think I've only ever seen mad once (at me, of course), just shakes his head and tell the guy it's not cool, he doesn't even know him.
And then we're just not there anymore. We're in 1215 Wine Bar and Coffee Lab.
But, I don't actually like either of those things. All I've wanted all this time was a pop or a chai. They have chai, though. And they'll ice it! And, you know what else? It doesn't taste like my coveted goodness from Fido, in Nashville, but I think it's better than Starbucks. Holy Shit. This place needs a drive-thru.
I'm talked out of seconds by Rachel, who is bound and determined we make it to The Emery for Dirty Projector. I'm ready to give up the ghost. I just want another chai…or 10. There's a cheese plate that looks good, too. Mm, Cheese. But, I remind myself that I'm supposed to be writing about the music. Also, I have no idea which direction I'd go to get back to my car once I've been properly filled with dairy products.
So, off we go, to the Emery.
It's packed. Thank goodness Cincinnati is filled with some seriously sweet people. A bit of rearranging and the seven of us are in one long row in the balcony. We're only forced to sit and hide yawns for a few minutes before the music starts.
I like Dirty Projectors and their quirky, disjointed Pop Rock. It makes me want to dance. Except no one in the balcony dances. I can see hints of movement and excitement below. But the people around me, the ones near the rafters, are zombie-like. No one moves, except to yawn or to leave. It's hot, too, and I swear on anything that it smells like Skyline up there.
They should have played at Washington Park. Out in the cool air and in the open field, where there aren't seats to lull the tired, drunken masses to sleep. That would have been better for everyone.
When I find myself trying to calculate the likelihood of my death if the balcony collapses, I know it's time to go. It's been a short night, but I'm done. If I stay much longer, I'll fall asleep. Or I'll throw up. I pop a Tums for the trip back to my car and duck out.
Once outside, I'm far less concerned than I should be about the fact that I have only a vague idea how to get to my car.
There is one thing I know for certain, though: I'm stopping for Skyline on the way home and I want extra cheese.
*Who knew that was even possible? Not me.
**That's his name with us, whether he likes it or not.

Here's the latest music video from The Walkmen, for their tune "Heaven."
And here's a recent CNN piece on Andrew Bird.
At first blush, a pro tennis tournament named for a financial corporation and a music festival all about indie music and culture might seem like awkward bedfellows — not quite "oil and water," but more "banana and helicopter." But last year, organizers of the Western & Southern Open tennis tournament — featuring top players from around the world and matches viewed by a global audience — and the MidPoint Music Festival joined forces to make the combination a "chocolate and peanut butter" teaming that would make Reese's proud. The cross-promotional efforts were designed to spread the good word of Cincinnati's biggest music festival (coming up Sept. 22-24) to music lovers who might be unaware it exists. This year, the partnership seems more solidified, with a designated MidPoint Stage providing tennis fans with acoustic sets by MidPoint-approved local, original artists consistently throughout the tournament.
Beginning Sept. 3 at the Art Academy of Cincinnati's Childlaw Gallery (1212 Jackson St., Over-the-Rhine), the people behind the massive photography exhibition FotoFocus will set their lenses on the many great concert photographers in the region.
Reverberation: Capturing the Live Music Experience will coincide with the MidPoint Music Festival, located just off the 12th Street MidPoint Midway (the strip featuring vendors, food, live music the box truck carnival and much more). Hours will be extended during MPMF, with the exhibit staying open until 9 p.m. on Sept. 26 and 10 p.m. on Sept. 27-28. (Normal hours, starting Sept. 3, are 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Mondays-Fridays, and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays). The exhibit closes Sept. 29.
The work of 29 artists will be featured in the exhibit, including shots from legends like Melvin Grier (an award-winning photojournalist who shot many years for The Cincinnati Post) and Michael Wilson (whose portraits have been featured on the covers of albums by The Replacements, Over the Rhine, Lyle Lovett, Ron Sexmith and many others), as well as Maurice Mattei, Sean Hughes, Keith Klenowski and Kara Smarsh. (Click on the names to check out some of the artists' work.)
If you're looking for something cool to do tonight — and especially if you're a huge fan of the falltime MidPoint Music Festival — head to the Contemporary Arts Center at 8 p.m. for a MidPoint "Reveal" showcase featuring the stellar, textural Indie Rock of local faves Pomegranates, nationally-acclaimed foursome Aloha (pictured) and Cleveland's The Buried Wires.
As the weather reports began to shape up for the end of this week, I was almost convinced that we would be breaking the current drought by doing the reliable MidPoint rain dance, which apparently consists of scheduling the weekend and saying the word "MidPoint." But, miracle of miracles, it did not piss down rain on the first night of MidPoint (although it was hot enough to feel as though we'd been rained on). After doing the Australian crawl from the Lodge Bar to the Blue Wisp last year, however, I'm not complaining. At all. It was a glorious night, and Thursday's bands provided the perfect soundtrack.
Any musical act interested in performing at this September's 10th anniversary installment of the big MidPoint Music Festival has just a few days left to turn in submissions for consideration if they haven't already. The official deadline is this coming Monday night (May 16) at 11:59 p.m. Miss it and miss out.
It seems like only yesterday that we were running all over Downtown trying to see a bazillion bands perform for the 2008 MidPoint Music Festival. Now it's time to start preparing for a bigger, badder, better MidPoint in 2009.

Small agencies' sequestration plans build from budget frustrations
Wednesday - 9/26/2012, 5:37am EDT
A steady march of continuing resolutions over the past decade has frustrated leaders in many agencies, as they struggle to make important decisions without certainty about their budgets. But Congress' slowness in completing appropriations work also might have provided a disguised blessing to help small agencies prepare for potential negative effects sequestration could put on their workforce.
The regular flow of CRs has repeatedly forced small agencies to prepare worst-case-scenario plans, which include furloughs and layoffs, said Raymond Limon, who recently stepped down as co-chairman of the Small Agency Human Resources Council.
"Over the past three years, it seems like agencies have had to develop those plans, and have them prepared to be implemented in the last two budget cycles," he said. "So in some ways, agencies are getting good, unfortunately, at planning for gaps in funding that" could adversely impact their workforces.
Congress passed the most recent CR Saturday, buying itself six months to work on appropriations bills for the new fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. But the temporary funding measure doesn't do much, if anything, to allay longstanding frustrations of chief human capital officers and other agency leaders as they try to execute government programs.
Workforce cuts as last resort
Sequestration would force in across-the-board spending cuts worth $1.2 trillion over 10 years. Unless Congress steps in, the reductions in 2013 will total $109 billion.
Limon, who is the chief human capital officer for the 600-employee Corporation for National and Community Service, said his agency's sequestration plan includes cuts to its permanent workforce only as a last resort.
First, he said, "We could look at the contracts that are being done within the agency to find out what are flexibilities in delaying payments or requesting a pause on the services. We could look at temporary employees, and moving up the expiration dates on those."
Limon said his agency is expecting additional guidance from the Office of Management and Budget on the likelihood and consequences of sequestration.
A senior administration official, who spoke to reporters earlier this month on background, said the White House had not prepared an analysis of the number of federal workers that could be furloughed because of sequestration.
"Clearly, if sequester were to occur, this would have a significant impact on the federal workforce," the official said.
But Limon said he hopes for the best.
"I am a hopeless optimist. I am positive that [the lame-duck Congress] will advance the nation's needs above their political desires and aims and do what's best. We've come to these, if you will, showdowns in the past, and cooler heads have prevailed," he said.
Limon said agencies are working to identify skeleton crews that could keep mission-essential functions in operation, in case they're forced to furlough or lay off employees.
"I do feel like, the idea of necessity being the mother of invention, that we can stick to our statutory prerogatives of what we're required to do and ensure that there's a workforce in place to maintain that", he said. And though "the services and the day-to-day responses back to the communities would certainly suffer, I think that, you know, [if] push comes to shove, we would be in a position to identify a core network of employees to continue the work and may have to furlough the remaining."

Aloha, My name is Kim Danks(on the Right) I have been a long term Hawaii Resident and am so Happy to be able to share part of Kailua with you. I moved into this amazing home in 2006 and knew right away what we were going to do with the Suite next door. We are located in the perfect spot here in Kailua as we are very close to the Magnificant Kailua Beach and Quaint Kailua Town. We are located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac which makes our property a sanctuary. I have truely come to know the Laid Back style that Kailua brings as daily walks along the shore, or swimming to flat Island cause in ones life. The local hiking is not one to miss, and I take advantage of really getting to know the Island as often as I can. I Love to share my Property with Guests as a way of sharing Aloha.
Kimberly and Tom Danks purchased this cottage in 2006
I chose to buy a vacation rental at Kailua Beach, Hawaii so I would be able to share the amazing Windward side of Oahu to Guests who would otherwise might only get to enjoy Waikiki Hotels. Hawaii has so much more to offer then the hustle and bustle of Waikiki city. Our Kailua is a Tropical wonder with so much to do and experience. Kailua Beach rated in the top 10 beaches of the world is just a short walk from our lovely Hawaiian Suite.
Relaxing on the patio at this Kailua beach vacation rental - Tropical Sands Luxury Suite with the Kukui nut tree umbrella overhead feeling the cool ocean breeze should not be missed. The fountain feature adds the soothing movement of water that deepens relaxation. Nestled inside the property the Suite is enveloped with tropical foliage and very private for your pleasure. Upon entering the Suite you will be very pleased to find an extremely clean and comfortable unit to call your own while vacationing. Tropical Sands is stocked very well and the local furnishings are extremely comfortable. The experience is one that should not be missed.
We needed a last minute stay in Kailua, and Kim and Tom helped us out! Great little studio with an awesome front patio. Super clean and comfy. I would definitely recommend the Tropical Sands!
My mom, sister and I stayed here for a little over a week and had a really lovely time. The unit is attached to the main house where the owners live, but there is privacy with a private gate and door entrance. We appreciated the proximity to Kailua beach, definitely one of the prettiest beaches on Oahu by far. It's about 2 long blocks to get to the beach, about a 10 minute walk and a very pleasant walk on a quiet neighborhood street. We would sometimes drive down to the beach just to unload our beach gear and luckily never had a parking problem as it can get busy in the lot. It was our first time staying in Kailua and we absolutely loved it. Kim and her husband were generous in offering us use of their bikes so my sister and I could bike around town. The unit itself was well equipped although it would have been nice to have a few more kitchen staples around, like sugar and some herbs/spices, and a non-stick pan to use for cooking. That's my only suggestion for improvement. It was so convenient to have a washer/dryer in the unit to do laundry. The owners are very accessible, as we locked ourselves out of the unit one night, and Kim was easy to reach to help us. We appreciated that so much! Personally, i found the unit a bit too crowded for 3 grown people. I think it's the perfect studio for 2. The bed itself was so comfortable...high thread count linens and soft fluffy pillows. We all slept really well during our stay. Another plus is how parking was easy and the front door to the unit is about 10 steps away from the front door. No stairs here, which was important for my mother's comfort. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and I'd recommend this studio in a heartbeat to anyone visiting the Kailua side of the island. Thanks so much!
What a wonderful little spot, it was the perfect size for us. We loved the garden. Close to everything - restaurants, grocery stores, the beach, and sightseeing.
I would definitely recommend the Tropical Sands.
I would recommend these restaurants: Crepes No Ka Oi; Cinnamons; Mexico Lindo
Big thanks to you guys for letting Cheryl and I share your wonderful slice of paradice. We ate on the secluded patio everynight, cooking on the BBQ.......candles, tree lights and the sounds of the water features truly a relaxing time. The property is very private and was pefect for the two of us. Tom thanks for the tip on the short cut to the beach and Kim you made halloween fun for us when we wanted to see the trick or treaters you were over with that big bowl of candy for us to give out to the kids. We truly enjoyed our time at Tropical Sands and will be back and hopefully soon. The location is so close to everything.....and yet you feel so secluded.
Thanks again for letting us share in your paradice,
Cheers, and Best Wishes

My wife and I just spent 10 days at Tropical Sands and were completely satisfied with the property. Though small, it was perfect for the two of us. Very clean and obviously renovated in the not too distant past. The bed was very comfortable, even with my bad back. The only air conditioner is in the bedroom and it does struggle to cool the rest of the unit but we did not find that to be a problem. Being on the end of a cul-de-sac there is only slight traffic noise, or noise of any kind. Kailua is a great town to stay in. A world away from the crowds and tourist traps of Waikiki. Kailua beach is beautiful. One of the best on the island. Stop at the Kalapawai Deli (Very good place for coffee and sandwiches) next to the northern entrance to the beach when they open at 6 AM, grab a coffee and go to the beach for sunrise. It will already be populated with joggers, walkers, fishermen, swimmers and photographers. Never crowded, always friendly. Plenty of restaurants in town, from Buzz's Steak House near the beach and Baci Bistro to KFC and McDonalds. Nice selection of shops and grocery stores, including Whole Foods. The owners, Tom and his wife, were excellent. Available whenever needed but otherwise respectful of your privacy. We had a thoroughly enjoyable vacation and staying here instead of in a resort was a large part of that enjoyment. I can't think of any reason why 2 or even 3 people would need any more then what Tropical Sands has to offer.
We were thrilled with Tropical Sands. The accommodations were spacious enough for two and included everything we needed for a wonderful week in Kailua. The kitchen was well appointed, the unit was very clean and the big clean bed felt wonderful at the end of the day. Tom was very kind in keeping us "in the loop" regarding the hurricane and very respectful of our privacy. We enjoyed Kailua Beach, including stand-up paddleboarding, and touring the island. Pearl Harbor was especially rewarding. Wish we had a few more days to spend here and will definitely be returning.

Automobile major Tata Motors, on Wednesday, unveiled its new customer-focused strategy to put its passenger vehicle business back on track. The new strategy — Horizonext, is to infuse growth and excitement in its passenger vehicle business where sales fell 35 per cent in 2012-13.
Addressing media , Karl Slym, Managing Director, Tata Motors, said, "we are at an inflexion point for our passenger vehicles business. The industry has been facing challenging times with flat growth last year. We do not expect any major change this year. Our goal is to move to a strong podium finish in the passenger vehicle market, and Horizonext is the next step. We are almost re-launching our entire passenger vehicle business."
8 new launches across 5 brands
The company, on Wednesday, announced eight new simultaneous launches across five brands. These include new enhanced versions of the Tata Indigo eCS, Tata Sumo Gold, Tata Nano, Tata Indica, Tata Safari Storme and CNG variants of the Indica, Indigo and the Nano. While some will be immediately available, all variants will be phased in over the next 90 days. Indigo eCS BS3 starts at Rs. 4.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) while the eCS LS BS4 starts at Rs. 5.29 lakh. Tata Sumo Gold will be offered in five variants starting at Rs. 5.83 lakh while the new Tata Nano will be offered in three trims starting at Rs. 1.5 lakh. Tata Indica starts at Rs. 3.99 lakh.
The Tata Motors chief said for the new journey, the four pillars would be enhanced product focus, world class manufacturing, enhanced sales experience and enhanced service experience. The company would roll out improved dealerships across 150 dealers in 100 cities in the current calendar year. It would also launch 11 new service programmes over the next month, he added.
"The markets are down, and we have been aligning production to market conditions,'' said Ranjit Yadav, President, Passenger Vehicles Business Units, Tata Motors.
"We are confident that the new introductions and new initiatives will see traction going forward. Thankfully now, our inventory levels have come down significantly and are at a healthy one month levels,'' he added.
Product portfolioplanned till 2020
Mr. Slym said the company would like to make "new products we play in and volume segments where we are not currently in. We have a portfolio plan in place till 2020. We are not present in the segment where there has been growth like the SUV softroader and in fact are in those segments that have seen de-growth.''
In Sanand, which can make three lakh units of Nano per annum, he said that in the near future, additional models of small cars could roll out, "as Sanand has been built for small cars, and these will remain a key segment for Tata Motors going forward."

Watson Acknowledges Federal Trade Commission Action Regarding AndroGel Patent Settlement
"We are disappointed that the FTC has decided to challenge our patent settlement, as we believe the agreement fully complies with both the spirit and letter of the antitrust and consumer protection laws, as interpreted by numerous appellate courts throughout the U.S.," said
In 2003, Watson submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking approval to market a generic version of AndroGel. Solvay initiated litigation against Watson alleging that its product infringed Solvay's patent. Under terms of a 2006 settlement agreement, Solvay granted Watson a non-exclusive license to the U.S. patents covering AndroGel. Watson agreed not to commence marketing its generic equivalent product until

Permanent trade centre to be developed in State capital
KANNUR: A cultural pageantry and various entertainment programmes that lasted over three hours gave a splendid start to the 45-day Grand Kerala Shopping Festival (GKSF) here on Tuesday. The opening ceremony was marked as much by the huge public participation as by the staging of the mega cultural show, befitting the occasion.
Municipal Jawahar Stadium, the venue of the opening ceremony, was flooded with people who turned up to watch the State-level inauguration of the third season of the festival. The function, attended by Ministers, people's representatives, officials and representatives of sponsoring agencies, was followed by the cultural show, presented by film artistes and playback singers and variety entertainment troupes.
Inaugurating the festival, Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac said the main objective of the fete was to make Kerala an international shopping destination. The GKSF was one of the major steps of the government to strengthen the State's commercial sectors. None of the Five Year Plans, since the planning process started 55 years ago, had given any importance to those sectors. The government planned to extend the spirit of shopping festival to production sectors as well. The government wanted to renovate market places and shopping areas in the State, he added.
Delivering his presidential address, Tourism Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said the GKSF, unlike the shopping festivals in Dubai and Singapore, was planned to cover traders in as much as 38,000 sq km of the State. From next year onwards, the GKSF would be organised by the Kerala Trade Fair Authority that was being set up. Acknowledging the role of the media in treating the festival as a development enterprise, he said a permanent trade centre would be developed in Thiruvananthapuram. Trade festivals and international fairs could be held at the trade centre, which could also be used for selling traditional products of the State.
Devaswom Minister Kadannappally Ramachandran, A.P. Abdullakutty, P. Jayarajan, K.P. Mohanan and M. Prakashan, MLAs, Principal Industries Secretary T. Balakrishnan, Tourism Secretary V. Venu and M. Venugopal, Managing Director of Federal Bank, title sponsor of the event, were among those present.

I have an Azure Cloud Service that hits an Azure SQL Server. When I first set this up, I really didn't know much about what I was doing and just wanted to get familiar with Azure. So now I'm at the spot where I want to take what I have and turn it into a solid deployment structure. Assuming what I have is Prod for now, let's say I am going to create a Dev and Test instance.
The way I understand it, I should simply create 2 additional sets of Cloud Services/SQL Servers for Dev and Test respectively.
So here are my questions, still being a bit of a novice:
1) If I do this, do I create additional Azure projects within my solution to represent each environment, or are they separate configurations within the same Azure Project? Or neither?
2) What would be the best way to handle the different connection strings?

Lincoln said "He who would be his own lawyer has a fool for a client." And, forgive me if this sounds harsh, but one can really make a fool of oneself by practicing do-it-yourself law. My clients are justifiably proud of their expertise in running their businesses, but some of them make the mistake of believing that their genius in one area or field of endeavor allows them to understand what has taken me law school and decades of legal practice to learn. I can no more run my clients' businesses than they can practice law. Every day I see matters which could have been handled as brief, inexpensive office visits before the deal, but which later are the subject of time-consuming and expensive litigation. Worse, I see lives ruined because many mistakes are so devastating the client cannot recover.
Time and money are always scarce for business owners, but that is the very reason to spend time and money on loss prevention. Having good contracts and legal organization will more than pay for itself – in fact, probably in just one sale or transaction as the benefits begin to accrue. The law is a living, breathing entity; the law which holds today may be modified by a court ruling tomorrow. And even the law does not always take into account practices in the Arizona business community which are known only to those immersed in that community, the psychology and motivations of the parties also play a part in negotiations which modify a contract, the form contract is static, and when you modify it without advising you give up what few protections it had to offer.

Annmarie Fertoli, Associate Producer at WNYC
Annmarie Fertoli is an Associate Producer at WNYC, working with the afternoon news team to produce All Things Considered.
As shoppers are out in full force on Black Friday, one group has a message for retailers and their patrons: donate!
The new campaign, Sandy Friday, spearheaded by a non-profit of the same name, is urging small businesses to donate up to ten percent of their Black Friday sales to local relief efforts benefitting Sandy victims.
Co-founder Alia Kate said the idea grew out of her own volunteer work in the Rockaways, post-Sandy.
"I realized that in the long-run, what they need most is money in order to buy supplies, in order to transition into different phases of the cleanup and rebuilding process," she said.
The group is also asking individuals to donate.
Kate said they're hoping to a total of $50,000. She also hopes the campaign will be extended into a regular benefit.

"I loved this card because it allowed me to display a "then" and "now" image of my twin girls - just like the website sample. I love the simplicity of the design and how it allows the photos to be the focus of the card."
"Easy to create a beautiful invitation. If you're text was too big it would tell you. Had a great experience working with someone over the phone. Extremely courteous and felt like they really cared and gave me assistance."
"I really liked these but the invitation was larger than I thought. I added rounded corners and have used pearl shimmer paper in the past, but not this time. I wish I had, especially because the invites were bigger than I thought. I liked the design of adding the "year" to the pictures, but wish they were not side by side. I liked another invite where they were diagonal. One top left, the other bottom right, but I really wanted red and gold / yellow and that invite only came in red and white. There were not enough choices for invites with "2" pictures."
"Great quality heavy paper. Print quality excellent. Photos were clear. Designer contacted me before invitations printed because my image would have printed blurry. He gave me steps to correct and the finished product was perfect."
"Hard to find a card that works for twin graduates. This one was perfect. Took their professional senior photos and popped them in the front, the diagonal really served to separate and make them both important. Loved the picture availability on the back which allowed me to put in photo of the two together as babies and in their college sweatshirts. Had to be brief in my language on the front, but that made for a better card. Received many compliments as to the quality!"

Latest Cd4+ T cells and antitumor Immunity Stories

Researchers at National Jewish Health and the University of Colorado School of Medicine have used a new strategy to develop cancer vaccines that are remarkably effective in mice.
A new study from the Trudeau Institute in Saranac Lake, New York, demonstrates that immune system cells important for both pathogen resistance and vaccine efficacy live longer in older animals but because of this longevity acquire functional defects.
EMERYVILLE, Calif., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bionovo, Inc.
Oncogenes are genes that when mutated or expressed in high concentrations can cause normal cells to become cancerous. Now research from Tel Aviv University is demonstrating that Ras, one of the first oncogenes discovered, has the power to heal as well as harm.
Tumors need a healthy supply of blood to grow and spread. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have identified a molecule that regulates blood vessel growth that is often found at less-than-normal levels in human tumors.
Researchers have generated altered immune cells that are able to shrink, and in some cases eradicate, large tumors in mice. The immune cells target mesothelin, a protein that is highly expressed, or translated in large amounts from the mesothelin gene, on the surface of several types of cancer cells. The

Safe spray
posted 7 years ago
I bought a large "USED" aviary last year, and before introducing it to my birds I used the Scalex mite and lice spray just to be safe. You just spray it on the cage, and the product will do the rest.It is derived from natural organic insectacides so safe for all involved. It can be sprayed directly on the cage or the bird if you ever get lice or mites.
Pros: easy to use
Cons: none

I use these mainly as a back up. I'd have no problem wearing them everyday, though. Not typically my style sunglass but always get a nice compent and I like the style. Very handy. Seem a little delicate to say the least and may be small even on an average size face/head. Still, not a bad pair at all. I'd buy another pair!4

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effects of three different feeding management (FM) schedules on physiological markers of heat stress (HS), metabolic conditions, milk yield and quality during the hot season in dairy cows. The study involved 27 mid-lactating cows, subdivided in three homogeneous groups differing in feeding time and frequency: total mixed ration (TMR) delivered once daily in the morning (M); twice daily, half in the morning and half in the evening (ME); once daily in the evening (E). During the trial, blood samples were collected in the morning (a.m.) and in the evening (p.m.), breathing rate (BR), rectal temperature (RT), and milk yield were recorded and individual milk samples were collected. Microclimate data indicated that cows were subjected to mild-moderate HS. During the hotter days, cows receiving M treatment showed higher values of RT (38.97 °C vs 38.68 °C and 38.62 °C, in ME and E) and BR (71.44 vs 66.52 and 65.26 breaths min−1, in ME and E), a.m. plasma glucose was lower in M (3.69 vs 3.83 and 3.83 mmol L−1, in ME and E) and a.m. plasma urea was lower in E (4.82 vs 5.48 and 5.35 mmol L−1, in M and ME). Milk yield was unaffected by FM, as well as milk composition and cheese-making properties. Only milk protein content and yield were higher in M (3.42 vs 3.36 and 3.27 g 100 mL−1; and 1.11 vs 1.08 and 1.02 kg day−1, for ME and E). Our results on cow physiology indicate that M seems a less suitable FM to match cow welfare during the summer season.

Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
3 Attachment(s)
Very Well, since i can trace more this problem, i registered so i can post this problem here to see if anyone has had it or knows how to fix it :)
Ok, this problem started a couple of weeks ago, when i changed an old Geforce 2 MX PCI that a friend lend to me , i changed it to a Geforce FX 5200 AGP 8X card.
I've included the 3 more important files as stated on the Read here before asking for help Thread.
1) The card works perfectly on Windows, so its not the card.
2) I've tried with all the combinations of AGP Settings (both Enabling/Disabling SBA, Fast Writes, in the driver, and in the kernel, i've tried using NVAGP and AGPGART in the two different kernels i've tried, and even with no AGP advanced modes at all)
3) Yes, i have tried disabling RenderAccel, TwinView, no difference, my standard working resolution is 1024x768@85Hz, i've tried 800x600, and 640x480 as well, i've tried with 16 bit color depth, hell i've tried with 8 bit!!
4) its a bit pointless to tell it, (coz, glxgears is not a good performance checker), but, with the default glxgears window size i get always less than 1100 fps, of course glxinfo says it has direct rendering
5) OpenGL performance is choppy, i.e (if i maximize the glxgears window, the gears start to render in a choppy way, or almost stop while rotating, stutters)
6) Using Gentoo 2004.0 lastest "STABLE" Xorg-x11 , Tried 4 Drivers 4496 5336 6106 and 6111,
same results with glxgears
Also as stated in Title, i've tried Two kernels with a lot of different configs, 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 and 2.6.8-gentoo-r3, and before anyone asks, yes, i've tried disabling ACPI and IOAPIC.
my machine is an Athlon T-bird 1.2 Ghz, 512MB Ram, ASUS A7N8X (rev. 2.0)
memtest reports everything fine (put it running almost 7 hours), reiserfs without any bad block or inconsistency.
IIRC the GLcore message that you will be able to see in Xorg.log, is a non blocker and OpenGL should work fine, (and it did, back then with the same message), if you think otherwise, because im not sure if that is causing the problem, please let me know it, and possibly how to fix it.
Very Well, i'll aprecciate any help, or guides on how to fix it, (im seriously thinking of reinstalling gentoo on this one, is driving me nuts!
:retard: )
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
You shouldn't load the GLcore module w/ nvidia, your log shows X spitting the dummy over it. Disabling twinview/tv in your X config might help - not that I've needed to do so but others in this forum have reported success that way.
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
whig, thanks for your reply, yes i've tried without twinview, and the results are the same, have you got any other ideas? (i've disabled GLcore Already, and no difference either.. :()
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
I have the same problem, few days ago I put message here and I sent mail to nvidia but I did not obtain any answer that solves the problem
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
performance without it
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
Yes, I have MTRR enabled in the kernel, of course, i haven't tried any kernel without this option set because it would loose performance (and im no talking about nvidia drivers only :) )
well i was able to "PARTIALLY" Solve it, i had to "reinstall" xorg-x11 not emerging it only, i had to "emerge -C" (remove it) and then emerge xorg-x11 again... , but the only drivers that work are 5336, and i'll better leave it as that for the moment, (at least i can play, and work), 6111 and 6106 still have the same problem i first stated on my first post, i would like if nvidia sees this issue, i don't know what's happening, and i would really like to use lastest drivers, without having to "reinstall" Xorg :/, mostly on gentoo, coz' i have to compile it from scratch (and as anyone will guess, is pretty annoying)
I really like Nvidia Cards, (i had 4 so far), but the state of the drivers for linux is confusing for the moment, at least they don't suck as much as ATI ones do.
Greetings All..
P.D. Please, don't kill the thread, i would gladly aprecciate if anyone has comments/suggestions so we can trace this problem..
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
after emerging the nvidia drivers (both nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx) did you an opengl-update nvidia?
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
Ohh, of course, else would be a bit pointless to struggle with this problem for so long, almost every gentoo-nvidia problems related forum back at gentoo.org mentions it and also, if i were a total gentoo newbie, when you emerge nvidia-glx, portage warns you about "opengl-update", so well...
Well, altough is "Partially" Solved, it is still SLOW, (but at least not choppy or stuttery), at least i can work a little in blender, (wich is unusable with 6111 or 6106) , i've seen a lot of problems with fx5200 and 6111/6106 around in the forums, maybe a little driver bug with this chip?...
In Any Case, thanks energyman, at least shows the interest in my problem... :)
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
well, a lot of people complaining about glx-probs here, in the mailing list and the gentoo forums, and all that went wrong was, they did not did an opengl-update.
Yes, the warning is there, it is mentioned in the docs, in the FAQs everywhere, still, some people have problems to read them.
Ok, you are not stupid ;o)
Hm, have you ever used the installer directly? If yes, then X is maybe loading up a mix of libs, I had that once, gives you an almost normal glxinfo output, but choppy opengl performance.
If not, you may want to install the 6111 driver and then replace one of the tls libs with the other (there are at least two of them). If I remember right, someone in this forum solved his performance problem this way, but you should search for the thread (some weeks old now). One is in /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/ the other in /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls. But beware! That was not on a gentoo system, so this may not help and make everything worse. You should backup the files you are overwriting somewhere save (not /tmp).
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
oh, and one additional thought: CFLAGS? you are not using something strange, do you?
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
ok My CFLAGS=-Os -O2 -march=athlon -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
but, energy, i've found out something really interesting!!! :)
:clap: thanks for the tip on the TLS thing, got me working some more...
ok, when i run X trought: /etc/init.d/xdm start (gdm is my default session manager "and its also set in /etc/rc.conf), my performance with 6111 is totally crappy
BUT, when i do a plain startx or i set rc.conf to xdm, and log in to twm performance is normal!, but some games (wich i used for testing) complaing about no version information on /usr/lib/libGL.so, and some others like "foobilliard" corrupt their textures
i've tried the TLS thing, one way and the other, no difference...
im not sure what exactly causes the culprit, see, when i start XDM or STARTX from the console everything (well more or less) works fine, but if i use GDM or KDM, the performance drops as first stated on the post..
well, i've been editing gdm.conf and xdm-conf to see what does gdm to break it, and what causes xdm to NOT break it, but, i cannot go much further, i had almost two hours trying different X start lines for gdm, and i really don't want to startx from the console :drooling: , im totally misguided from here
Any suggestions would be gladly aprecciated..
Re: Poor OpenGL performance 4 drivers, 2 kernels, 6 different configs
hm, very strange.
You should compare the xorg.log of gdm/xdm with th xorg.log when you start it with startx. Has gdm an own log? kdm has, and there are all the infos that let kdm barf and startx not ;o)
That is the only thing, that I can think of, at the moment. compare the logs. Not very helpfull.
Hm, and /usr/lib/libGL.so points to /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/libs/libGL.so? and this to libGL.so.1.0.6111?

Rare Dracula Fish Discovered
Researchers from London's Natural History Museum have found a rare fish that features small bone fangs.
Found exclusively in a single Burmese stream, the Danionella dracula appears to have lost its teeth over time before it later evolved the fangs made of bone, researchers said in the Royal Society's journal Proceedings B.
"When you watch them in captivity you can see the males sparring," NHM's Ralf Britz told BBC News.
"They display with their lower jaws open incredibly widely, then they nudge each other; but we don't see any wounds."
Researchers in the UK first witnessed the fish when they were sent in a consignment of aquarium fish.
"After a year or so in captivity they started dying; and when I preserved them and looked at them under the microscope, I thought 'my God, what is this, they can't be teeth'," said Britz.
"And when I looked in more detail, and stained the bone and cartilage with different colors and used an enzyme to dissolve away the muscle, I saw they clearly were not teeth."
Researchers believe the fish lost its teeth some 50 million years ago. Compared to relatives, they appear to reach sexual maturity when their bodies have not fully developed, they told BBC News.
Britz said the discovery is "one of the most extraordinary vertebrates discovered in the last few decades".
"None of the other 3,700 species in the Cypriniform group has any teeth in their jaws. They lost them 50 million years ago. D. dracula however evolved its own tooth-like structures by growing them from the jaw bones rather than re-evolving jaw teeth."
