Chris Avis here has challenged all of Southern California to come to the SQL Server 2005 / Visual Studio 2005 / Biztalk 2006 Launch event in Anaheim. He promises on his blog that if that event draws the biggest attendance of all of the launch events, he will shave his head.
Okay, Chris... once again you throw the gauntlet down. Your challenge isn't just to your seven blog readers, it's to the rest of your coworkers and teammates as well. You force us to offer similar challenges to our attendees, just because of how wonderfully competative we are!
Proof: My own Karaoke Challenge was FORCED into play by yours... (of course, I sing way better than you, so I'm not afraid one bit. <mooohahaha>)
Okay... so that's how it's going to be. Here's my own attendance challenge for Minneapolis. If Minneapolis gets the biggest attendance of any of the major SQL/VS/BizTalk Launch events…
no… waitasec… I'll sweeten this challenge up a bit…
If the Minneapolis SQL Server 2005 / Visual Studio 2005 / BizTalk 2006 Launch simply gets better attendance than the Anaheim event, I'm getting me a sharp trimmer, and SHAVING CHRIS AVIS's HEAD! YEAH!
Yep.. you heard me right. I'm bad. Don't you think I wouldn't do it, either.
Someone's getting shaved, and it's not going to be me.
SQL Server 2005 Tidbit 017
Number 17 Tidbit here…
Wouldn't you like to have the installable 'books online' for the next version of SQL, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, installed and available on your local workstation?
Your wish is granted! You can download and install the Books Online from the SQL Server 2005 June CTP.
Here is the link.
And if you're interested in downloading and evaluating SQL 2005, the June full CTP can be accessed HERE.
Got an IT question? Give me a comment, or contact me.
A friend passed this along to me. I was never a huge Rush fan… but I sure like this song and especially what this Neil Peart fan did to animate this tribute.
"A Digital Man"
<— That's Ed Faulkner, the program manager of our Microsoft Across America "Mobile Event Experience".
Ed has a blog now, and he's using it to put up stories (and pictures) about how several of these trucks are being used in the efforts to help hurricane Katrina victims in Louisianna and Mississippi. (Here's my earlier blog entry about those trucks.)
Game on!
A young man destined-to-be-an-MVP someday – Jose Francisco blogs today about the games that potentially may be included in Windows Vista.
Honestly, I haven't looked at these yet. I've had so much fun with the other features that I'll have to re-look at the build I'm running and see what's there… Fun stuff!
Robert Scoble, for Channel 9, finally got that dream interview… it's on the Channel 9 site for all to see.
Check it out!
Poor Robert sounds sooo nervous. And I don't blame him one bit. I probably wouldn't be able to form sentences…
Okay… I confess that I was "ego surfing" a few minutes ago.. after I read Steve Lamb's post on the subject.. I used Technorati to see who was linking to my blog posts.
I found a nice reference back to my request for Windows Vista feedback from August 31st.. Vlad Mazek's post (thanks Vlad!) pointed people there, and (rightly) suggested that if you want to influence how the product works, the time is NOW to help us with feedback.
What I thought was especially interesting, though, was the one comment there from someone named "Anonymous". (Wow… That guy gets around!)
Mr. Anonymous writes, basically, that it all sucks. It just plain sucks. And there's nothing I can say to make it suck any less. It sucked in the beginning. And it now and for-evermore shall suck. Sucking forever and ever. Sucks. Sucky sucky suck suckity-suck-suck-suck.
Did I say it sucks?
Anyway… Mr. Anonymous (you know who you are); a simple question for you. WHAT sucks? What? Specifically?
My response comment asks him that also, and points out a couple of key ideas that Mr. Anonymous should have shoved up his.. er… crammed into his.. um… brain.
We have groups that blog internally about Windows Vista, and they have the eyes and ears of the product teams, if they're not the product teams themselves. Some of them even record feature demonstrations as videos, and then ask for and pass along feedback. Do they want the product to suck less? …perhaps even, dare I say, to "ROCK"?! You bet!
Mr. Anonymous.. their goal is to help you see a product that moves from the "sucks" category, to the "ROCKS" category. And I and others like me will help you by passing along your feedback, and next year doing kick-ass demos to show you how good ROCKS can be.
Rock Rockity-rock-rock-rock.

Fifteen. It's a one, followed by a 5. 15.
Q: Can you rename the SQL 2005 SA account?
A: Yes, as a matter of fact, you can! With the new security model there are some great ways to really secure the SQL Instance. You can rename the account with the ALTER LOGIN statement. This is a great way to reduce surface area for your SQL instances. Here is an example:
ALTER LOGIN sa WITH NAME = [new name here];
Additionally you can disable the account as well:
ALTER LOGIN sa DISABLE;
You can download a great presentation on the new Security enhancements for SQL 2005 here:http://download.microsoft.com/documents/australia/msdn/Session_2_Greg_Low.ppt

Bill Steele is a developer and a skilled presenter on our MSDN team. He is also a former military pilot and currently owns one or two small planes.
Recently he was given the okay to take some time off to help out in the hurricane Katrina relief efforts. A couple days ago he sent this email update to the rest of us on the team:
Well... Today is the first day of Internet access since I started this adventure. I'm flying out of Baton Rouge International... and have so far moved enough meals to feed about 6000 people. When I say meal, I mean MRE... Meal, Ready to Eat. I've been reacquainting myself to them as well... wow... I forgot how good some of them were. I've also been delivering bottled water and some medical supplies. My plane can handle about 700 meals with a bottle of water each and a couple boxes of medicines each trip. (That puts me slightly over gross, but who's counting - we do remove the meals from the cardboard boxes to lighten the load a bit... and I only get about 50 gallons of fuel - since each trip is less then 1 hour.) Anyway, I've had to stop for a little while while some maintenance on my plane is done... I lost the left mag on the left engine on my last take off . The maintenance staff over at "Million Aire" are fixing me up no charge... that's very cool. I have to tell you, most of my flights have been to the lower part of Mississippi which was just hammered. I flew into one airport that was so badly damaged that I literally landed on an access road, because the runway didn't exist. The control tower actually fell over from the wind. It's a real mess in some places. I did a small tour of the coast line for some damage assessment purposes (I've had relief coordinators with me on every flight) and it's just shocking to see the magnitude of the damage. I've lived through some pretty bad tornados at home and the damage looks similar, but it's just so much more massive. Tornados cut paths... there's no paths down here... just destruction everywhere. Anyway, the food deliveries are actually winding down because either the people are leaving or they now have "ground transportation of goods" which means that I'll move into a new type of role shuttling medical supplies and people. (I removed the seats from my plane so we're going to have to reinstall them as well.) There are about 50 planes doing this work... and we're all running about 6 or 7 trips a day. We've got good sleeping quarters... a nearby Holiday Inn Select hotel and plenty of food... when I get hungry, I was just stealing an MRE. The best so far is the Chili Mac... nice and spicy. I'm getting ready to enjoy a Boneless Pork Chop dinner right now, however... you guessed it... it's an MRE as well. By the way... I see we're sending down the MSAM Buses... that's very cool! The thing this is really lacking down here is communications... nothing works. I'm currently using a US National Guard mobile communications van for this access - it's actually a Humvee with a bunch of antennas on it. We get to use it for about 1 hour a day (when it's available.) Oh well... I'll let you know the progress the next time I can. Bill
Bill also wanted me to mention that if you want to help him and other pilots like him who are volunteering so much of their time and resources there are ways to do that:
My hat's off to you, Bill. You make us all extremely proud.
SQL Server 2005 Tidbit 014
Number 14
Q: What if I do no want to give SQL 2005 Management Studio to my Developers how to I give them access to the databases?
A: Matt was talking with some of his event attendees, and they recommend that you use SQL 2000 query analyzer for that type of access. During their testing this worked fine with the 2000 QA specifically if you used SQL 2005 Express.
My thought on this is that you should go ahead and USE THE MANAGEMENT STUDIO. The issue isn't one of what tool is installed, but of security. If you've set things up right, you won't be giving your developers anything they shouldn't have… and you WILL be giving them a tool they can use powerfully.
With all the focus on SQL Server 2005 our team has been doing lately, I was very glad to find this web site. The team that builds the SQL Server engine has a blog of their own: SQL Server Engine Tips.
One post in general got my attention – the team is requesting your feedback on Database Mirroring. In fact, they're even providing scripts you can use to play with Database Mirroring and familiarize yourself with it.
Here is their "Feedback requested on database mirroring" post. Help 'em out!
VERY interesting developments on the MS vs. Open Source battlegrounds…
Yes, perhaps I'm a bit biased, considering who signs my paycheck. But to me, Stuart Cohen sounds scared. This eWeek article talks about him and OSDL turning down Microsoft's offer of a joint, co-sponsored "independent" research study. And what were they afraid of? Well.. Cohen pretty much accuses Microsoft of taking parts of studies and only selling the news that is good for Microsoft in the midst of overwhelming bad news. He accuses us of lieing.
"What do you think about that, Kevin?"
Bullsh**. Yep… I'm getting opinionated here… probably not something I should do on a Microsoft-owned blog.
Have you seen http://www.microsoft.com/getthefacts ? Have you, Mr. Cohen?
The site has a HUGE amount of information.. white-papers and research (yes, many sponsored by Microsoft, but some not) on
These are not just snippets, either. The complete studies are included when practical, and if not, they're linked to and made available elsewhere. Add to that the wealth of great case studies in categories of
Perhaps we highlight the good points in our marketing. That's granted. That's what MARKETING does, afterall. But we do not hide any of the findings. If we did so, you would have a valid concern. But your accusation is weak, defensive, and without merit. And frankly, sounds a bit whiney to me, too. Get the facts, Mr. Cohen.
What also infuriates me about the eWeek article is that it only gives Cohen's side of the story. I'd like to know more details about how Martin Taylor approached them, and what the specifics were.. but we'll probably never know. The original discussions were supposed to have been kept secret.
No doubt someone posted about it on their blog. Stupid bloggers.
Have you seen Start.com?
Have you seen it lately?
Eileen Brown reminded me of it this morning… Very cool.
Chris Avis also has a couple of posts on it as well. (Post 1, and Post 2)
SQL Server 2005 Tidbit 013
Unlucky 13!
Q: How do I upgrade SQL 2005 beta to the Full SQL 2005?
A: There will not be a setup-based upgrade from preRTM to RTM. You will need to un install the preRTM and then install RTM. The un install will not remove your user databases. Once you reinstall you can connect those databases to the new install. They will automatically upgrade when they're installed. One word of caution: it's best to move between the same editions (i.e. Beta -> Developer, Standard -> Standard, etc).
Last week was a sad one. Horrible storm. Horrible flooding. Horrible people taking advantage of both. Devastated neighborhoods, cities, and lives.
Yet out of the worst tragedies often come the best, most encouraging stories about people and their willingness to help others.
I'm proud to work for a company that has both the will and the resources to help in these situations. At Microsoft we have a great internal web site dedicated to giving, and naturally right now the relief for hurricane Katrina victims is top on the list.
And even beyond that, my team at Microsoft (internally known as the Seminar Sales Team, and externally you see us as "Microsoft Across America") has… shall we say.. "detoured" some valuable assets in order to help in the hurricane relief efforts.
That's right! We're sending in the trucks!
Three of our Microsoft Across America "Mobile Experience" trucks are heading to our home base in Dallas so we can off-load the un-needed AV equipment and event supplies, and loading them up with food and water. Then we're sending them east to help out the Red Cross as mobile communication / command centers. These trucks have Satellite internet access, with WiFi, so they'll be quite useful in helping currntly disconnected people get in touch with their families to let them know they're okay.
So… I'm not going to have one of these trucks parked outside of my events in Des Moines and Minneapolis in a few weeks… and I'm extremely PROUD of the reason why!
(UPDATE: Here's the Microsoft Across America Program Manager's blog, with stories and photos coming right from the folks who man the trucks.)

Q: In Mirroring with automatic failover, how do the SQL Client applications fail over when the mirror fails?
A: It really depends on the client application and how it was written. Client applications written using ADO.NET 2.0 will automatically fail over when the database fails over. However other clients will have to manually fail over. Basically the new SNAC (SQL Native Access Client) has information about the mirror, and about where to connect if the principle connection goes down. If the principle drops, the application will try the mirror. If a failover has occurred, then the mirror is able to respond and all is good. If the mirror drops (or doesn't answer at all), the app will then again try the original principle, and so on.
Mirroring has always generated some great questions. John Baker has a great post on mirroring.
SQL Server 2005 Tidbit 011
SQL Tidbits Galore!
Q: Can I put Visual Source Safe components into SQL 2005?
A: Yes. If you have installed the Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 6.0 client components on your machine, SQL Server 2005 Management Studio will automatically detect that the VSS plug-in is available. As noted above, you can find the VSS plug-in listed in the Tools/Option dialog, by selecting the Source Control and then Plug-in Selection node. Also, the Source Control option in the File menu drop down becomes active, and from there you add an existing Management Studio solution to source control, or open a Management Studio directly from source control. You can enable multiple source control systems, and change from one to another.

SQL Server 2005 Tidbit 010
Number Ten!
Q: How does SQL 2005 handle online databases during the upgrade, what about the applications that are in use?
A: This questions was very interesting to me so I did some checking. The best bet to see how this is going to work, is to use the Upgrade Advisor, this will give you great advice on any potential database or application issues. However ultimately for any upgrade, some good ole' fashion testing is in order. For more information, and to down load the Upgrade Advisor look here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cf28daf9-182e-4ac2-8e88-f2e936558bf2&DisplayLang=en

The latest odds for the Carolina Panthers to win the NFC South as posted by BetDSI sportsbook are +280. BetDSI is one of the most trustworthy sportbooks to wager on football. They currently have posted odds for every team in the league to win the division as well as win totals for the upcoming season. Sign up today and see why BetDSI is the best online betting portal to bet on the National Football League and the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers had one of the worst off seasons in recent team history. It started by parting ways with veteran wide receiver Steve Smith who had been the vocal leader in the locker room for this team. The wide receivers let go of or lost the four top pass catchers from a season ago. The Panthers are trying to replace the 156 receptions, 1,983 receiving yards and 15 touchdown catches that the departed quartet accumulated last season. In addition to signing Jerricho Cotchery, Carolina drafted Florida State wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin in the first round and signed Tiquan Underwood from Tampa Bay and Jason Avant from Philadelphia to go with holdovers Marvin McNutt and Tavarres King, neither of whom has caught an NFL pass. In short, this offense is in trouble.
To make matters worse, Newton underwent ankle surgery in the off season and he will take some time to recover. He will not participate in OTA's and therefore building chemistry with the new core of wide receivers will take more time than anticipated. Newton can also be distracted about contract talk.
Cam Newton isn't concerned about a new contract.
"That's the last thing on my mind" » http://t.co/LY9IVbwVL3 pic.twitter.com/TwoFQQnn96
— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) June 11, 2014
When Newton does come back he will not have the same protection that he has been afforded in the past. Three-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jordan Gross announced his retirement in February after 11 seasons with the Panthers. According to the rankings, Gross was the third-ranked offensive tackle in the NFL last season and was Carolina's best offensive lineman. He will be missed as an anchor on this line.
The defense will be strong again but distracted with the arrest of Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy and the missing pieces in the secondary. The Panthers lost three-fourths of their starting secondary and that will equate to big trouble in a division that features Matt Ryan and Drew Brees.
The Panthers are in trouble this year and the best bet is that they will finish last in the NFC South.

I am what they call a 'Textural Photographer', which means I use multiple photographs ( all my own nowadays unless stated! ) to overlay on to my original image and create an atmosphere and story. I often do water colour washes on paper, photograph them, and add them as textural layers....you could call it mixed media! The layers should enhance, not overtake, the original image, and the original image is the most important part!
To capture the essence and character of an animal with a fleeting look, a pose, a shape and form, and show just how precious and rich this world with them in it - that is why I make my pictures.

Welcome, Linda!
Lots of great pictures and stories on here in the last day or so. I have to say, Celeste, that my husband must be related to Stan as well. Year before last I was griping that I wanted a small push mower from walmart for trimming the yard (I like to mow but hate to trim with a riding mower, as I've never learned to be good with it). Instead, I got a JD riding mower with cupholder. Love it, but it's kind of an odd birthday present for a girl! Still don't have an easy way to trim so he has to use the weed eater after I mow. It works out okay, though, since he says I look cute on the mower (and the tractor/brush hog, too). He also thought I looked cute with a tool belt strapped around my waist on top of the barn roof when we were building it...and cleaning the car... and wait, I think I see a pattern here!

Letters: Aurora massacre
The Aurora [gunman] used a military-style semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and a pistol. Supposedly, before you can buy a gun you are investigated. What about buying multiple guns? Does anyone check to see why you're buying more than one gun – are you a gun collector or what? – Don Bellows, San Diego
Industries such as coal and tobacco have externalized the cost to the environment and health. Otherwise these businesses would most likely be unprofitable. Why not create legislation that would require the firearms industry to be responsible for the cost caused by the use of their products? If implemented, this might save tax payers a billion dollars just for the recent shootings in Colorado. – Charlie Podvin, Poway
It is amazing that a single person in good standing both criminally and mentally at the time of a weapons purchase can legally own as many guns and stockpile as much ammunition as they wish with no further testing for competence or mental illness to renew permit.
When purchasing an automobile, by law we have to register it yearly with the state, have a valid driving license which has to be renewed by taking a test periodically to see if we are STILL competent to drive. Preventing harm to people.
In 2008, the Methamphetamine Production Prevention Act was enacted to facilitate the use of electronic logbook systems to identify more effectively those who are illegally stockpiling pseudoephedrine, which can be used in the production of methamphetamine. Preventing harm to people.
People need to be reminded that the Second Amendment to the Constitution, the right to bear arms," was referring to muskets filled with gunpowder, not assault rifles. Gun owners want freedom to own weapons. What about our freedom to attend enjoyable public events without harassing security checks which are sure to follow because of the ever increasing volume of guns and stockpiling of ammunition? – Val Gilhooly, Point Loma
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg forcefully challenged both President Obama and Mitt Romney to outline exactly what they would do to curtail the inexcusable gun violence within our country. Congratulations to Mayor Bloomberg for speaking out and conveying the urgency of this ongoing nightmare. It is hoped that this will be one of the primary issues in the forthcoming presidential debates, and that both men who aspire to our nation's leading office will clearly recognize that gun control is not about partisan politics and mindless slogans but all about simply doing what is right, and just, and moral. – Michael Traynor, Burlingame

|Do you ever wonder what happened to the assorted thugs who took hostages at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem last month -- You know, the ones who flashed the V for Victory sign while they were expelled from their homeland at gunpoint and stuffed on a plane for Cyprus?
The 13 terrorists were divvied up among various EU countries, where they are now enjoying an expensive year-long vacation, as fully-paid-for guests of the European taxpayers, as follows:
Spain gets to host Ibrahim Musa Abayat (29), apparently the Fatah chief in Bethlehem, and responsible for a series of suicide bombings and the killing of an Israeli intelligence officer; Aziz Jubrane(31), pharmacy student, explosives expert and leader of a failed attack on a Jerusalem convention center; and Ahmed Hamamrah(31), a bank employee also responsible for the March 26 bombing at a Jerusalem shopping center. The Palestinian representative in Madrid said "These are fantastic young men. We must certainly help them build a new life for themselves".
In their new life in Spain, they lounge around at a government country estate in Lubia, 10 miles from the nearest town. Their location was supposed to be kept secret, but they were discovered by journalists at a local tennis court. Spanish police are not happy about the dozens of officers needed to provide constant security for these guys -- even when they, say, go grocery shopping -- an annual cost of 5 million Euros.
Italy is the temporary home for Ibrahim Mohammed Salem(32), a member of the Hamas underground; Khaled Hamid Najimeh(34); and Mohammed Said Salem(23) an Al-Aksa Brigades leader. The original plan was for these guys to spend their year on the prison island of Pianosa [remember Catch-22?] but are instead being treated like repentant mafiosi, and given a sort of "witness protection program". They have been given new identities, lodging in Italian intelligence safehouses with 24-hour protection, and monthly stipends, at a total estimated cost of 600 thousand Euros. The terrorists only complaint? They haven't yet been allowed to have a reunion with their families. But they do get to call home to Gaza every day.
Greece is playing host to Mohammed Muhannah(22) and Mamdouh Al Wardian(23), a known Hamas member. Greece has long been sympathetic toward the Palestinians, so it's no great surprise that these two were given a hero's welcome as freedom fighters, along with a well-attended sycophantic press conference. After being under intensive police surveillance they disappeared without a trace, under speculation that they obtained new papers and slipped outside the country. They resurfaced a few weeks later as front-row guests of honor at a concert given by pop superstar Glykeria.
Abuyat Jubran, described as the least dangerous of the Nativity Church terrorists, is now living quietly in Belgium . Nobody seems to be interested in him any more. The journalists have stopped following him. His whereabouts are kept confidential, but he is believed to be in Brussels, possibly under an assumed name, presumably staying in one of the "dreary neighborhoods where Africans and Arabs live. Where black trash bags pile up on the sidewalk and where there are a lot of video stores and laundromats". Jubran has a work permit. For the time being, the Belgian government is paying for his food, shelter and clothing.
The EU was proud to negotiate the surrender of the Nativity Church terrorists as a significant contribution to Mideast peace. But nobody in the "labyrinth of the Brussels Eurocracy" seems to have any idea what should happen with the terrorists after the 12 months is up. "I'm afraid we don't have a plan", says one EU official. "We negotiated the arrangement, the implementation is the responsibility of the member states. It's no longer our concern"Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at June 28, 2002 06:52 AM
Thank you for posting this. According to the Shin-Bet, each of these men has blood on his hands for murdering Israelis. The royal treatment that these murderers are receiving at the hands of their EU hosts just makes me sick.

Thank you for posting this article. Its good to be kept informed on the EU's sponsoring of terrorism.Posted by: Avi on July 8, 2002 06:04 PM
The problem is, the Western world is too civilised to have the laws/methods of dealing with terrorists correctly.
We are going to pay a very heavy price before we wise up. Rather than the Israelis being the oppressors, they are the first amongst us to realise you have to be prepared to fight dirty if necessary.
I cannot say that I am surprised at reading the account of the fait of the Bethlehem terorists.
The royal treatment given to these murderers in Europe is just another underlying theme of a rising anti-Semitism.Too many European governments don't want to own up to the surge of ani-Semitism in their own countries - or if they do, they insist it is an understadable outgrowth of the worsening Arab-Israeli conflict.
Many in the 'Old Europe' look at the "Arabs" (and any policy towards them) as a mere (big) MARKET.
Especially France, that showd (Iraq Betrayal) France, the Betrayal how her greed wins any world/safety concerns.

Robert Guerrero is the younger brother of Victor Guerrero and older brother of Randy Guerrero.
Amateur Career
Guerrero won a National Junior Olympic Gold Medal at 15 and was also voted the most outstanding fighter of the ESPN-televised tournament. A year later, he qualified for the 2000 Olympic trials, where he took third place after a loss to eventual-Olympian Clarence Vinson. At age 16, he was the youngest fighter to compete for the American team. He decided to turn professional right out of high school, at the age of 18. [1] [2]
Split With Goosen Tutor Promotions
Guerrero did not fight from February 2008 to January of 2009 due to a contract dispute with his then promoter Goossen Tutor. Guerrero claimed he sought a breakup with Dan Goossen in part because he hadn't received the big-money fights he craved against the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. The arbitration case, which was held before the California State Athletic Commission, also hinged on the length of Guerrero's contract after an injury layoff earlier in his career. In December of 2008, the California attorney general's office ruled in Guerrero's favor, allowing him to become a free agent. Shortly after the ruling, Guerrero signed with Golden Boy Promotions. In September of 2009, however, Goossen Tutor won its case on appeal, with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert H. O'Brien finding against the ruling of the CSAC and that "The award was procured by corruption, fraud or other undue means." Despite the ruling, Guerrero remained with Golden Boy Promotions as the time frame of the original contract had expired months prior. [3]

Many of the first responders to the disaster were from the University and research and engineering teams from the University reviewed the wreckage, searched for causes, and began planning for the future. The book comes out of a 2008 University symposium on the bridge collapse and the building of the replacement. It looks at the ramifications of the disaster from the perspectives of history, engineering, architecture, water science, community-based journalism, and geography. Contributors examine the factors that led to the collapse, the lessons learned from the disaster and the response, the policy and planning changes that have occurred or are likely to occur, and the impact on the city and the Mississippi River.

Under California law, unlicensed contractors work for free. To be sure, California code prohibits an unlicensed contractor from making a claim for compensation if the contractor is unlicensed at any time during construction of the project (Business and Professions Code Section 7031). But what about employees of an unlicensed subcontractor? In a recent case, California's courts added wages of a subcontractor's employees to the list of items that a general contractor is liable for when engaging an unlicensed subcontractor (workers' compensation, unpaid contributions to the Employment Development Department and tax withholdings also make the list). Thus, employees of unlicensed subcontractors may make claims against general contractors for unpaid wages.

It is a very honest material and people have been using it for centuries.

Welcome to another horror/sci-fi round-up! We have news on who will play the marvelous mutant Nightcrawler in X-Men: Apocalypse, a look at four new fright-styled T-shirts from Fright Rags (including an '80's-esque Freddy Krueger), and home media release details for 20th Century Fox's The Pyramid.
Nightcrawler: He can teleport with his unique dimension-hopping ability, he's extremely agile, he knows how to handle a saber with expert ease, and he at times has a gleeful sense of humor. The X-Men mutant Nightcrawler has many admirable traits and was memorably portrayed by Alan Cumming in Bryan Singer's X2. With Singer back behind the camera for X-Men: Apocalypse, a film that will introduce more mutants to the growing ranks of the X-Mansion, it's been revealed by the director on his Instagram page that Kodi Smit-McPhee will play a young Nightcrawler.

What's the best way to up your follower count on Instagram? If you're Bryan Singer, you use your account to tease your upcoming movie. Yesterday he dropped some concept art for "X-Men: Apocalypse," and late last night, Singer revealed his new Nightcrawler. Singer posted a professional-looking headshot of Kodi Smit-McPhee, with the caption, " Excited to welcome @kodismitmcphee to the cast of #XmenApocalypse as young #Nightcrawler." Smit-McPhee doubled up on the message by posting a similar Instagram announcement.
Kodi Smit-McPhee first snagged our attention as the nameless young boy in "The Road," followed by roles in "Let Me In," "ParaNorman," and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes." However, the character of Nightcrawler, a fuzzy blue mutant with a prehensile tail, is probably the weirdest of them all. Alan Cumming transmogrified into a super creepy Nightcrawler in "X-Men 2," complete with yellow eyes, two-fingered hands, and scarred blue skin.

Kodi Smit-McPhee has been cast as Nightcrawler in Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Apocalypse" opposite Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and Michael Fassbender.
"Excited to welcome @kodismitmcphee to the cast of #XmenApocalypse as young #Nightcrawler," Singer said in a posting to his Instagram account on Tuesday night.
Smit-McPhee's credits include "The Road," the lead voice in the animated "ParaNorman" and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes." In the X-Men universe, Nightcrawler is a mutant with adhesive hands and feet and the ability to teleport.
Alan Cumming played the role in 2003's "X-Men 2."
Patrick Stewart has confirmed that he and fellow first generation mutant Ian McKellen will not appear in the upcoming film because it is set in the 1980s and explores the earlier lives of the characters.
Fox has dated "X-Men: Apocalpyse" for May 27, 2016.

Kodi Smit-McPhee is the latest to join the cast of Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse...
Once again, director Bryan Singer has utilised his social media tentacles to release a fresh piece of casting news for his next film, X-Men: Apocalypse. And in this instance, it's the role of Nightcrawler that's been revealed.
Singer has used Nightcrawler in one of his X-Men films before, with Alan Cumming playing the character in X-Men 2. However, the role is now being taken on by Kodi Smih-McPhee. His highest profile role to date has been Alexander in Dawn Of the Planet Of The Apes, and the young actor has also lent his voice to ParaNorman, and appeared in Let Me In too.
Smit-McPhee, a name that's harder to type than it looks, joins a cast that includes James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Alexandra Shipp, Sophie Turner, Oscar Isaac and Tye Sheridan. »

Laika, the Portland-based animation studio behind Oscar-nominated films like "Coraline," "ParaNorman" and "The Boxtrolls," has opened its archives for the first time ever for a limited auction of over 250 puppets, models, props and art. "The Art of Laika" will be held by Heritage Auctions on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2015 in Beverly Hills. A portion of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to The Art of Elysium, a non-profit arts organization that works to make art a catalyst for social change. "In eight years of doing this, I've never seen such enthusiasm among the bidder and fan bases," Heritage Auctions Public Relations Director Noah Fleischer said. "Every lot has a bid in. Laika's crafts are drawing a non-traditional audience for us: 25-35-year-olds."

If BAFTA could hand out an award for oddest movie, it would surely be won by The Boxtrolls, which is the latest animated offering from Laika, producers of Coraline and Paranorman. This tale of a society dictated by cheese and overrun by cardboard-wearing creatures was in the running for Best Animated Film.
We spoke to directors Anthony Stacchi and Graham Annable to chew the fat, or at least the rind, over what went into the making of this eccentric chapter in the history of stop motion animation. I'm a huge fan of the medium – my Dad used to be such an animator back in the day – and I was interested to hear what the pair had to say about the project, which appears defiantly old-fashioned in this age of CGI…

Below the streets of Cheesebridge live the Boxtrolls, a community of cave-dwelling and cardboard box-wearing creatures, who are believed to pose a threat to the citizens of the town and their children. However, in truth, they really pose no such threat and have even raised an orphaned boy, Eggs (voice of Isaac Hempstead Wright), as one of their own. Archibald Snatcher (Ben Kingsley), a local pest exterminator, hatches a plan to get rid of the Boxtrolls for good as a means of securing his place within the town's cheese-loving elite. When the Boxtrolls hear of Archibald's plan it then falls to Eggs to save the day, since he is the only »

Stop-motion wunderstudio Laika's latest film, The Boxtrolls, hits the DVD/Blu-Ray market today. You should see The Boxtrolls (if you haven't already, that is). It's sweet, it's extremely strange and its tremendous stop-motion visuals are more than worth whatever viewing fees might be required up front. But if there's been one complaint I found in this tale of boy, girl, cheese and an army of cardboard-clad trolls, it'd be this: the film suffers from story issues. Well, story "issue," in the singular. That issue being: The Boxtrolls is the exact same movie as ParaNorman. Before you say anything- yes, there are obvious differences between the two films. ParaNorman is set in the world you and I inhabit, while The Boxtrolls takes place in the fictional quasi-victorian isle of Cheesebridge. ParaNorman deals with witches, ghosts and zombies, while The Boxtrolls' one supernatural element hews to the titular trolls. Also »

At a loss for what to watch this week? From new DVDs and Blu-rays, to what's streaming on Netflix, we've got you covered.
New on DVD and Blu-ray
Laika's latest stop-motion film is about a kiddo named Eggs (Isaac Hempstead Wright) who is raised by a gaggle of trolls under the streets of Cheesebridge. It got pretty good reviews, as well as an Oscar nomination, and while it hasn't snatched up as many eyes and hearts as "Coraline" or "ParaNorman," it's still a solid kid's movie. The Blu-ray includes audio commentary from directors Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi, as well as a few other extra goodies.

If ever there was a sure thing going into today's nominations, it was that Warner Bros' blockbuster toon The Lego Movie not only would be nominated but was the presumed front -runner for the win. It's a real shame for talented director-writers Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, who also got screwed by the Academy animation voters when they were overlooked for 2009's Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. But this snub was bigger, Huge.
This is not a tragedy. Congrats to incredible crew and cast of The Lego Movie, who made a classic.

Shockwaves not only hit the room but among those working on rival films — the ones that did get nominated. »

It may be too soon to say, but I believe 2015 to be the year of Anna Kendrick. Having established herself as a great support actress in the Twilight Saga, she's gone on to steal the show in numerous films, including Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Paranorman and End Of Watch, managing to the pull the limelight away from her more central co-stars.
This year sees the release of six new titles starring Kendrick, the first being the live-action Disney musical Into The Woods, and to celebrate we are looking back at five of Anna's greatest career choices.
(Dir: Joe Swanberg, 2013)
Drinking Buddies saw Anna star alongside Olivia Wilde, Ron Livingston, and New Girl favourite Jake Johnson, in an almost fly-on-the-wall look at how friendships play out between men and women – particularly when they are best friends and co-workers – and their respective partners. Anna features as Jill, »

"It won't change who you are. Cheese, hats, boxes-they don't make you who you are. You make you!"
Get ready to enjoy a masterfully crafted Dickensian world with stunningly well animated-characters and witty dialog. If you're familiar with Coraline and Paranorman, Laika Animation Studio's previous works, The Boxtrolls will come as no surprise. As before, the visuals are worth the price of admission and as before, I was left hungry for more.
The Boxtrolls itself is a well-told fantasy full of silliness and whimsy, but there's depth and meaning as well. It could be argued that this is a kids film about ethnic cleansing and genocide(!), but it's all handled in the best possible taste. Somehow they managed to pull this off without ever being too heavy-handed, scary, or inappropriate. An example of this would be the villain's henchmen, who spend much of »

Comments about Columbia Womens Take To The Streets Trench Coat:
Love the feel and how this coat flatters my body. So nice on fall days when the weather is changing from cold and dreary to rainy and blustery. Nice and long in the arms to keep chill out of sleeves. I'm tall, so you will need to try coat on, in store.

Comments about Columbia Womens Take To The Streets Trench Coat:
I love this coat! I think that it is the most comfortable and flattering coat that I have ever bought. I bought it in black, the material is very soft and smooth, unlike many of the other waterproof/water resistant materials. The belted waist is very flattering and I am able to layer under it without sacrificing comfort or fit. I feel like the picture makes it seem longer than it is. It is longer than your average jacket, on me it comes to about mid-thigh (I am 5'9) but I think the length is perfect. Perhaps something that you would want to try on before you buy. The sleeves are also long and proportional. The perfect jacket for tall women!

Monta Ellis scored five of his 27 points in overtime and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Boston Celtics 99-94 Friday night in the teams' final meeting this season. Milwaukee prevailed despite blowing a seven-point lead late in regulation. The Bucks won for the sixth time in eight games, taking three of four against the Celtics, who had a five-game home winning streak snapped despite 35 points by Paul Pierce. Luc Mbah a Moute scored 20 points and Larry Sanders had 17 and 20 rebounds for Milwaukee. Jeff Green scored 14 points, Kevin Garnett 12 and Courtney Lee 11 for the Celtics. Pierce, who scored a season-high 40 points in Boston's previous game, sent the game to OT by hitting a 3 with 2.5 seconds left. Green had to leave with a towel over his left eye in the closing seconds of OT. Ellis' consecutive baskets, coming nearly two minutes apart, had given the Bucks a 94-90 lead with just over a minute to play. But, as in regulation, Pierce made a jumper and Garnett hit a long jumper...

Intuos3 6x8 Tablet or Portege M200?
Hello fellow ConceptArtists . Long time lurker, and just getting my feet in the water regarding digital art... So a simple question thread here.
As my thread title sort of suggest, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with both to do a comparison of the two.
Of course, I'll offer some more context:
Essentially, it boils down to: Which is a better choice in terms of usability and workflow? Obviously the M200 is already outdated spec-wise, however, I'm not expecting to do anything other than Painter/Photoshop/2D Digital Art (I know some people uses their tablet to do 3D work, but I don't see the advantage of that vs. a mouse) on it, so I don't think the semi-outdated specs will work against me, per se.
The disadvantage is that since the laptop itself is not upgradable (since most of the parts are either discontinued or simply extremely expensive to upgrade via eBay), should I need to do things with photoshop that pushes the laptop, it may work against me (i.e.: Very large brushes that take a lot of CPU time). Whereas the Wacom can be used on any computer for the duration of its life (I've seen working Intuos from a decade ago! So I'm quite confident in Wacom's product quality).
The M200 also doesn't have any tilt sensing in its pen, and it has only half of Intuos3's sensitivity (I currently own a first gen 4x5 Graphire, and the 512 levels of sensitivity doesn't seem to bother me, the jittering does, however; I'm wondering if this is present in the M200. I'm currently testing out the Intuos3 and from a usability and technical perspective, it's perfect; great sensitivity, no jittering whatsoever, everything you'd expect from a top of the line Wacom product).
What I'm trying to get at is: Is the M200, from a usability and technical perspective, good enough in itself (after all, you are drawing directly to the screen, that's a big bonus in my books) to be worth the purchase over a Intuos3? I have tried using tilt sensitivity, but I don't see how that helps in real-life situations. Is it helpful at all (as in, will it be a feature used often with many brushes)?
Also, how is the M200's secondary stylus? It seems that most of the eBay auctions do not sell the Main stylus (Lost over the years, I suppose), but instead only the secondary stylus that's "hidden" in the battery compartment. Does this still offer 512 levels of sensitivity?
A second hand M200 can be had for less than 300 via eBay, while Intuos3 goes for over 350. Now, price is not a factor for me, so I'm looking purely from a usability and workflow perspective.
I suppose that's most of the questions I can think up for now...
Thanks to anyone that can offer any insight to this dilemma!
EDIT: I'm now uncertain as to whether or not the M200's pen is 256 or 512 levels of pressure sensitivity... Different places seem to report different pressure sensitivity levels! If anyone can clear this up, greatly appreciated!

Well price must be a bit of a factor...otherwise you'd buy a Cintiq ~_^
Seriously, go for the Intuos or even one of the lower priced Wacom tablets like a Bamboo.
January 25th, 2009 #3
Okay, you got me there . Cintiq is way out of my league, but I meant relatively between the two (300 vs 350 isn't much of a diff).
There's no way I'm settling for a Bamboo under any circumstances, though. I have enough cash to get an Intuos3 or the M200 (Plus.. the Bamboo wouldn't be that big of an upgrade from my Graphire... both are 4x5 [or I suppose 6x8-ish with the medium model] with 512 levels of pressure sensitivity and no tilt). The smallest Intuos3 I'm looking at is the 6x8 (which is approx 10 inches of work area, where as the Portege M200's 12.1 inch screen is... well, 12.1 inches of work area ). If possible, I might spring for the 6x11 since I work with widescreen monitors and sometimes dual monitors.
Thanks for the response though .
Btw, I'm now uncertain as to whether or not the M200's pen is 256 or 512 levels of pressure sensitivity... Different places seem to report different pressure sensitivity levels! If anyone can clear this up, greatly appreciated!

Maybe you can spend 400-500 dollars and get a more powerful Tablet PC. 2 gb and a decent processor should be enough to go pretty high-res afaik.
anyways, what i want to point out, since so many people on this forum doesn't seem to get it is that it doesn't affect the quality one bit if you have 256 or 1024 levels of pen-pressure levels, you can't pin-point 1 level anyway, except for full-pressure i guess.
xx levels of pressure isn't some kind of spectrum that you add to, its simply the space between each level the tablet-surface can feel from the stylus. Its so ridiculous that its even considered when buying those tablets.. I'm not pointing this at you, but i might perhaps affect someones decision that is wondering about "levels" of pen pressure.
My nintendo DS has 256 levels i think , i had a graphire 3 before it had 512, and now i'm on an intuos 3 with 1024 levels of pen-sensitivity.. and i can make the same strokes on all those tablets. Don't even _think_ about that when you're buying a tablet..
if you really want to consider something, it'd be physical size, working-space, other features like express buttons, or tilt sensitivity or whatever it is.
You can do the same art on a cheap genius-tablet that you can with the newest high-tech cintiq-wacompad.
I prefer my intuos 3 A4 over every other tablet i have tried, but it has nothing to do with the levels of pen-sensitivity it can achieve.
Also working with a tablet-area is completely different to working on-screen with the physical working space. So 12.1 is quite a lot, even if it might not seem like it.
I don't know if that helps.. you mentioned some of the stuff i just typed in your last post before i saw it.. so i think you know what you're looking for. yeah yeah, just advice and random tips anyways.
good luck = )
January 25th, 2009 #5
Go with the Intuos.
Theres a reason Wacom is the industry leader.
January 25th, 2009 #6
@Dile_: Thanks for the detailed reply, and after watching _this_ comparison video between a Cintiq 21ux and a Toshiba R25, I'm pretty much convinced that pressure sensitivity doesn't matter all that much.
BTW, what model of Tablet PC can be had for between 400-500 with 2GB of RAM (I'm assuming it's obviously used)? I'd definitely be interested in that if it's only a mere 200 more than my original estimated 300 ~purchase.
@wassermelone: Actually, most Tablet PC's uses Wacom's digitizer technology!
I suppose the real "main" difference is the additional 2 inch of workspace for the M200 and the ability to "draw where you see". There's gotta be something that's to be said for the ability to draw where you see, right? Otherwise the Cintiq wouldn't be such a hot commodity .
The only thing holding me back from getting the M200, like mentioned before, is the outdated specs and the longevity (since I'm really looking forward to being able to draw where I see). If I get the Intuos3, it can theoretically last me a decade or so, until I either upgrade to a Cintiq or a larger/newer Intuos, whereas the M200 is already outdated from the get-go .

Inside the Heads of the Washington Peace Talkers
Revisiting Q&As with Tzipi Livni, Maen Rashid Areikat, and Shimon Peres
This week, senior Israeli and Palestinian officials are meeting in Washington, D.C. for what appears to be the most serious effort in years to restart the moribund peace process. We would love, of course, to report from inside the negotiations room, but like all such
endeavors the talks are hermetically sealed off, with the exception of a few photo-ops here and there. No worry—we've something even better.
Over the last three years, Tablet's literary editor, David Samuels, has sat down for intimate Q&As with key figures on both sides, including Israeli president Shimon Peres, Israeli minister of justice and chief negotiator Tzipi Livni, and Maen Rashid Areikat, who represents the Palestinian Liberation Organization in Washington. For insights into their personalities, and for possible clues as to where this current round of talks may be headed, you'll find no better source.

You've got to be kidding me. I dedicated them both. Are they worth that much?
You know, when they are worth that much dedicated, often they will still be worth a lot dedicated too.
Check guru's price check forum or you could try adding -unded to your gwEstimator search text.
I am MORE than willing to take in undedicateds!!! (especially a panda or island guardian)
(I too have an unded kunnie and varesh....so the others would not be lonely).
I was just saying that people will probably either sell the undedicated ones before they leave or dedicate them themselves before they leave which would make the majority of uber rares dedicated ones.

Perfectly okay choice to make with your eyes open. Many do on boat like this.
It would make me nervous, as there can be issues with boats of that value that can exceed the value of the boat. It's a big reason so many are abandon at marinas. You can pay much less than a survey to simply have a few deal breakers checked. You may get peace of mind, but no survey.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
"If you build it, they will come" seems to be Lumberton's motto as of late. In addition to new commercial and residential construction, there are a few notable multi-million dollar projects popping up in the city.
The L.L. Melton Family Life Center, formerly the L.L. Melton YMCA, is one step closer to a complete retrofit that would keep the center open after City Council members approved a lease agreement with benefactor Dr. Donna Farrell on Tuesday, July 9.
Lamar University has named Juan Zabala executive director of the Lamar University Foundation, officials announced.
UPDATE: Funeral service will be at 2 p.m. Friday, July 19, at Wesley United Methodist Church on Major Drive in Beaumont, and internment at Forest Lawn Cemetery, with a reception to follow at the Beaumont Country Club on Pine Street in Beaumont.
