'06 KTM 640 Adventure break-in/commute
OK, what I am wanting to do is commute for the next 3 months with my new '06 Adventure until I retire (bike is a retirement gift to myself) and then use this as my only transport around town. The journey day to day for the 3 months will be 40 miles (US 101 Ca) and 5 miles of street to work and the same back, (so 90 miles for the mathmatically challenged daily). So, what should I do prior to starting this commute (break-in?) as the bike is at mile zero and what would be the greatest mods to help things along the way? Thanks in advance....

you're askin' for Break-in Theories? I followed the Owner's Manual proceedure, which as I recall only states to not excede 4800 rpm during the first 1000K. Here is the "Running In" proceedure from my manual:
Some say it's good to go for a long highway trip (long steady rpms) while others say it's best to not keep the engine at the same speed (rpms) for any length of time at all. I think I went with the later and tried to vary the engine speed as much as possible during the first 1000K.
There is one theory going around that I know says that the best way to break in an engine is to "drive it like you stole it"! The theory believes that the roughness of the engine and high rpms help smooth out the parts better than the same roughness at low rpms. I think that sounds like flawed logic, but who knows until somebody does a double-blind study...
More opinions on the way, I'm sure.
PS - the index is full of mods for your bike. There is a generally well-accepted standard of setting up the breathing properly (airbox, carb, and exhaust modifications) that you probably should look into. Then you probably want to setup the ergonomics for your height and such (bar risers, footpegs, seat). You might want to do some other changes depending upon your riding and style (more dirt-oriented tires, suspension adjustments, and on and on and on...). But try to ride it a bunch first before you go hog-wild and see what you need!

Could be right, could be baloney, or maybe it doens't matter... but I still wonder what are the liabilities to the top end (valve train). I hear tell that new valves need time to get "properly seated", and I wonder what slappin' them about right from the get does to them.
Perhaps someone with alot of motorcycle engine knowledge, and particularly alot of top end experience, could address that?

It's the rings, not the valves.
From what I understand, most of the "break in" for a new or reciently rebuilt motor has to do with ring seal.
The rings "machine" themselves to the piston bore using the cross hatch pattern left by the hone.
The sharp points of the hone pattern are quickly worn down by the rings, so you want to get your rings smoothed to the bore as quickly as possible. This requires high rpm counts, and some oil if possible. (Like under decleration, the engine vac will suck some oil up over the two compression rings, and allow them to be cut faster this way by the sharp asperities left form the hone.)
If you just idle around, under 4500rpm for example, the rings are going to knock down the sharp points before they are cut to a custom fit to your piston bore. Then it will take thousands of miles to get good ring seal, and your going to lose some oil and fuel economy and power due to excessive blow by.
Never heard about the valve's being broken into the seats? I just did a custom engine for my Supra, and broke it in the "Fast" way. Not sure it was any better than other engines I've broken in the "Slow" way, but it does run great.
My 620 Lc4 has about 7500miles on it, and has had synthetic oil most of the time. (This is another point of contention. Do you use mineral oil, or synthetic oil? I belive for the first 50 miles, run Mineral oil, then change the oil and filter, and run mineral oil again for 400 more. Then change over to synthtic oil with a new filter and run it 1500 miles. For cars. For this bike, the oil has been changed every 1000 miles, and I bought it used, but the reccords show a similar oil change pattern with the first one done early, then one more mineral and then switched to Mobil 1 Synthetic.)
I have just reciently changed over to Rotella T Synthetic for all my vehicles. Great oil, and a decient price. On my cars, I use Canton Mecca fuell flow filters, and the stock stuff for the KTM. (Trying to figure out a way to convert them to Canton if possible. I also use a Motorguard bypass filter on my Supra, and will soon have one mounted to the Audi.)
Nice thing about Canton/Mecca filters, they stop particles down to about 8 microns, and the bypass stops stuff down to under 1 micron. Wear is caused by stuff larger than 10 microns, and most paper type filters only stop stuff down to about 20 or 30 microns at the best, and generally 40 or more is common.
So, good luck on the break in, and nice choice of motorcycle :)

I have to ask...
Sorry, but I just can't seem to get my head around the physics that you are implying. Can you elaborate?
Speaking of KTM, why do you think they don't specify this method? I would think that engine manufacturers are a interested in the best break-in method, and if a method proved to be better at setting up their engine they would specify it.
I have read that the top end has a break in period, as the parts conform to eachother. Seems reasonable given the obvious: moving parts and tight tolerances.
Perhaps I should take the time to read that fella's website, but I get tired of reading about Snake Oils... OK, I took a peak, here is his take on his method:
1) that higher RPMs creates higher gas pressures in the combusion chamber,
and 2) that this higher pressure is needed to make the new ring conform to the irregularities of the cylinder hone and use the new hone's roughness to 'machine' the ring to fit the bore.
First off, I do not claim to understand the physics of internal combustion engines; but I do understand physics somewhat. And my first thought is that the pressure inside the cylinder does not increase with RPM, at least not substantially - but I could be wrong. My guess would be it decreases, at least over time since the combustion chamber is expanding more rapidly.
And secondly, is torque related to pressure or just mechanical geometry? Because torque is higher at lower RPM... probably need an engine guru to explain this relationship and settle the score. One of those along with a machinist would probably take care of analyzing the theory behind this method. We have some of those laying about (being fed grapes by nubile shelias... ); hopefully they will show up. Unless this is 205...
PS - I do hear good things about Rotella.

Woo Whoo, the can of worms is open!
Ok, like you, I'm no rocket scientist, and I did leave out the gas pressure/ring seating theory, but I have read all of Motoman's pages that I could before they became somewhat repetative, and the gist of the idea is correct.
Break in your new motor as quickly as you can, and that takes RPM and load. (Based on what you wrote, first 20 miles should be 1/4 mile passes at maximum speed, then change the oil.....)
My Supra motor is turbocharged, and I've driven it quite hard from the start. Boost pressure is daily at 18 to 22psi, and the max it's seen has been 27.8 according to the electric boost controller memory.
Also since I have overkill oil filtration on this engine, the coatings that have been worn off as the parts "machine" to each other have been trapped in the filters. Also any metals. The first few changes the filters were black with molydisulfied and some other small particles of metal and the assembly lube.
Now the filters are pretty much clean, and the oil stays clean for thousands of miles.
My KTM is already broken in so I don't have any personal experiance with this "thumper" motor, but I like the Motorman's theory of engine break in. (Which is why I used it on my high performance engine.)
I know a few years ago, I was told the Honda new cars were filled with oil that contained very fine polishing compound. This first factory fill of oil was supposed to be left in the engine for 1500 miles so it would help the parts polish them selves during use. I don't know if that was urban myth, or just the service guy lying to me, but it made sense, and the Honda engines do seem to last a very long time with little wear if maintained properly.
Why most engine makers reccomend a slow break in is beyond me. Seems like the rings would take longer to seat properly, especially on a high performance engine.
On the horsepower v/s tourqe deal, actually HP is just a matimatical figure of engine Tourqe? Or something like that. I know the curve always crosses over at 5250 rpm. (Where Tourqe falls below HP on a dyno sheet.) I do know you can change tourqe curves with engine changes like bore and stroke, and also affect the HP as well. My Supra motor is a custom stroker engine with only slightly more displacement, but the longer stroke raised the tourqe curve over 100lbs from prior dyno pulls. The HP was unchanged if you can belive it! The engine feels stronger due to the increased tourqe curve, and area under the curve v/s before. Peak HP at the wheels is about 420, but tourqe went from the 360's to over 475lbs peak, and the area under the curve is more than twice what it was before the longer stroke, slightly higher compression and larger valves and head port work. I was hoping for more peak HP, but can live with the great Tourqe returns.
Just like how I like the peaky power my brother's Suzuki 400 SM has, but really like the tourqe of my KTM 620 when it counts. Both are about as fast, and if anything, his 400 might even make more peak power, but the KTM has LOTS more tourqe everywhere.

my take on breakin is a combination of both theories, the manual says dont run it up above 4800, but its does not say to go easy on the application of throttle. i like to load the engine with generous throttle, not lugging at low RPM and not revving over 4800. the engine pulls pretty hard from about 2500 on, so roll that throttle during breakin but dont over rev.

Not sure why break in has to happen quickly, aside from MotoMan's assertion that the roughness of the new hone will be worn out before it can 'machine' the ring properly. And he says that high RPM increases pressure which forces the rings out and (I guess) conforms better to the rough hone so they match up better once they wear together...
So you are adding that it takes higher RPM and load, I assume to increase pressure inside the cylinder. The load is higher at slower speeds (more resistance inertia than motion inertia right?) so maybe it should be first gear only? Just trying to make sense of this; but I don't think we can solve this problem. Like I said before we need a engine guru and a machinist.
Parsimony says that MotoMan represents an industry trade group that rebuilds motors and is just trying to drum up more work! Just kidding...
Like I said, we need some folks who can critically review MotoMan's diatribe, an engine guru and a machinist.

Guys, the few definitive articles published about break-in (major magazines, not internet heresay) say that arbitrary break-in RPM limits are specified strictly to keep owners from running the engine at sustained high power levels right out of the box. By limiting the max power the engine can produce in this rather crude way, you prevent localized overheating of parts that may not have sufficient clearances due to production tolerances.
That's it. That's the ONLY reason for RPM limits. I'm sure the engineers would rather say in the manuals that higher RPM operation is fine for brief periods, but if then they'd leave the word "brief" open to interpretation. It's just easier to arbitrarily set an RPM limit.
It's also widely accepted that it takes cylinder pressure to seat rings. So you do want to use some throttle during break-in, occasionally full throttle.
Don't pull sustained high power, vary your speeds, avoid idling, and try and keep the bike out of slow traffic. For production motorcycles, that's all that is required. This doesn't need to be that complicated.

Well great.
I just finished the first 500 miles of my breakin. I kept the bike under 4K rpm as recommended by the stickers plastered on the Tach and gas tank. Now I have to keep it under 6K for the next 500. I guess I will be watching my rear view mirrors for clouds of blue smoke.

i havent held a 640 piston in my hand, but all the piston i have worked with have small holes in the ring grooves, they are theyre for a number of reasons and one of them i believe is crankcase pressure pushing the rings against the cylinder wall during the bang stroke as the piston travells down, but i dont claim to know anything its just my ASSumption

question: so how does cylinder pressure vary with RPM and load?
I also ASSume that cylinder pressure is more related to load (resistance to expanding combusion gasses) than RPM (piston speed). I know that when my bike's engine is wound out in certain situations there isn't necessarily much resistance to increasing RPM; conversely, I know that sometimes when my bike's engine is at low RPM (not lugging but certainly not even midrange) there is alot of resistance to increasing RPM.
With those observations in mind I can think of many instances when the most resistance to the expanding gasses can be at the lower end of the RPM range. And this is where the engine will naturally be prepared to deal with it, since peak torque is generally in the lower (to mid? ) end of the RPM range.
So if it is indeed pressure, which I am reasoning (on a limb) to be irrespective of RPM - perhaps even highest in the lower end of the range (or at least the best time to load the engine, when available torque is highest?) - then maybe it would be ideal to focus on load and not throttle? Certainly not RPM...
Please throw me a rope before breaking this branch! And sorry to make it complicated, but theory is, particularly when there are multiple dimensions: engine speed, bike speed, and load (for a multitude of reasons).

You're on the right track.
Peak combustion pressure is more or less directly related to engine torque, so you'll get maximum combustion pressure right at the engine's torque peak and, of course, full throttle. So during break-in, you should be occasionally giving it full throttle at or near the torque peak to get good ring seating. Not for long periods because this gets back to that localized overheating problem, but brief spurts of full throttle around the torque peak are just the thing to seat rings. Engine RPM is not important other than you don't want to be lugging or overrevving.
There is nothing wrong with adhering to the break-in RPM limits specified by the mfg per se. Personally, I think brief zings approaching redline as the engine builds miles are probably good - they help to get parts friendly with each other at the full range of engine speeds. But if you want to hold to the limits in the owner's manual, there's nothing wrong with this. It is just unnecessary and makes your first 1K with your motocycle needlessly boring.
IMHO, I think there are only a few really bad things to do during break-in:
1. Running the engine hard before warming up. This is hard on any engine but especially hard on a new engine that not established final working clearances. But riding it gently to get it up to temperature quickly is the best way to warm any engine - you want to get it to temperature as quickly as possible and minimize the time when it is running on choke or FI enrichment.
2. Excessive babying of the engine, including idling. This results in insuffiicent pressure to seat rings which may can cause glazing of the cylinder walls which leads to an excessively long break-in during which the engine will have poor oil control and compression. Worst case with some engines that have very hard cylinder walls and rings (e.g., Nikasil BMWs) you never achieve good oil control and they're oil burners for life.
3. Running them at sustained high power right out of the box. This causes the localized overheating problem where parts that are at the extremes of tolerances and have not achieved working clearances actual have metal-metal contact and scuffing which shortens engine life.
That's about it. Everything else is fine. And if you look at mfg's recommendations, they basically say this - it's just that they stick in those silly RPM limits to keep people from taking their new bike out on the freeway and "seeing what she'll do" with 5 miles on the clock. If an owner religiously follows these RPM limits and also goes easy on the throttle, they may never exceed 25% of the engine's rated power during break-in and it's tough to get a good break-in at these power levels.
It can pretty much be sumarized as "ride normally, but take it a little easy."

Over the weekend, we were treated to a preposterous display of hectoring of allegations that Wal-Mart Mexico (prepare yourself for a shock) paid bribes to public officials for the legal right to do business in that country.
You see, to do serious business in America requires vast campaign contributions to several layers of elected politicians, an army of lobbyists in Washington, retired government employees on your board and public devotion to the American civic religion. It goes on every year and restarts every election cycle.
Even then, it is hard to know if you are going to get what you pay for.
It's easier and more efficient in Mexico. You pay bribes directly. The decision maker gets the money. He or she clears the path for you to do the thing. The facilitator takes a slice. People mostly keep their promises. The deal is done.
Apparently, bribe paying in the United States is a sign of a healthy, functioning democracy; doing the same thing in Mexico in a more streamlined way is a criminal violation of the standards of good corporate governance.
Here we have The New York Times "exposing" the shocking and presumably ghastly fact that over several years, Wal-Mart paid out some $24 million in payoffs to politicians, bureaucrats and petty gatekeepers in Mexico, all in the hope of employing people who need jobs and bringing goods and services to those who need them.
The breathless and bloviating Times expose is written as if these intrepid reporters were exposing a violent mob engaging in killings to get its way. You never quite get that Wal-Mart would much rather have used the money to expand its business, hire more employees or beef up its inventory. Money used for bribes is a loss to any company, a terrible price of doing business under the state.
In any case, the trove of information was shoveled on the paper by disgruntled employees. And it is hardly unusual. It's how business is done. Regardless, the Times is out for blood — not from the extortionists who run the system, but the victim, Wal-Mart.
At last count, there were 1,200 news stories about this on the wire. Forbes reports: "Wal-Mart Stores will likely face the wrath of the U.S. Department of Justice for reining in an internal investigation into bribery allegations at its Mexican subsidiary."
I'm sure that congressional investigations are around the corner, with all the named executives hauled before committees and harassed by regulators.
The bitter irony is that it will transfer more of the Mexican system to the U.S. To survive, Wal-Mart will be forced to spend more than the $12 million-plus it already spends every year on campaign contributions and lobbying.
All that enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) does is increase the amount of domestic corrupt practices. Indeed, that is the way the system is supposed to work. Truly, if the FCPA were actually enforced as written, business around the world would come to a grinding halt.
Under the well-known Mexican system, people called "gestores" specialize in interfacing between business and bureaucracy. They deal with inspectors, permit issuers, environmental bureaucrats, labor officials and zoning regulators. If the gestores can make the deal, they keep 6% as a matter of convention. Even average citizens use these people to stand in line for them — all in an effort to find nonviolent means around the bureaucrats.
Given the ridiculous barriers in place, it's not a terrible system. Corrupt government that you can buy your way around is far better than "good government" that blocks all progress.
The rap on Wal-Mart is that it did far worse. When the company discovered this was going on, it buried it, rather than go public. No kidding. Maybe the company imagined that it would be smeared and attacked?
Bribing officials is illegal in Mexico, just as it is in the United States. But of course, that is just the gloss. Anywhere there is government, there is corruption. That's the purpose of barriers to enterprise, to extract wealth from those who want to get past them.
Is it worth it? It is either pay or don't do business, which means lasting poverty. Today, Wal-Mart Mexico employs 209,000 people and is the country's largest employer. It has provided a fabulous example of the merit of private enterprise in this country, which is finally getting on its feet economically. It has brought food, goods and services to millions of people who otherwise would not have them. It has done more in 10 years for Mexico than all the government bureaucrats have done in one hundred or a thousand years.
For its crime of bringing economic development to this country, it must be smeared, beaten and forced to pay obeisance to the American political class. Why should Mexico enjoy such largess when there are millions of American bureaucrats who need to be part of this gravy train?
You can read thousands of academic papers on the problem of "corruption" in countries around the world and completely miss the central point. The way to eliminate the corruption is to eliminate the barriers to enterprise. Why is this not obvious? Because many people imagine a utopian ideal that does not now and never has existed: good government. They imagine that government rules can be enforced impartially based on science or the public good.
It's sheer nonsense. As Ludwig von Mises writes in Human Action:
"Unfortunately, the officeholders and their staffs are not angelic. They learn very soon that their decisions mean for the businessmen either considerable losses or — sometimes — considerable gains. Certainly, there are also bureaucrats who do not take bribes, but there are others who are anxious to take advantage of any 'safe' opportunity of 'sharing' with those whom their decisions favor… Corruption is a regular effect of interventionism."
But here's the part that upsets me so much. Somehow, private enterprise is always and everywhere blamed for perpetuating corruption, when the truth is obviously that the blame rests with government. It's like watching a mugging and blaming the mugged for carrying too much money. It's like telling anyone who faces the demand "Your money or your life" should always choose to give up his life.
The background here is nothing short of anti-capitalist resentment. The elites loathe Wal-Mart for its achievement in putting on display the incredible reality about capitalism that you never hear about in school: It is a system that is maniacally focused on the well-being of society in service of the common man.
Go to Wal-Mart and you see the workers and peasants not rebelling against the system, but buying stuff that makes their lives better. It looks rather mundane. It's how civilization is built: one economic exchange at a time. The people who stand in the way don't deserve a dime, but private enterprise is kind enough to cough it up, anyway. Wal-Mart deserves sympathy, not condemnation.

It is a fabulous example of killing native private enterprise by selling goods made in communist countries with trade surpluses and no debt to democracies with trade deficits and indebtedness that will not be repaid. This is a landmark article… in explaining how the dependence of American private enterprise on communist China is good for us…and for WalMart most of all.
"Corrupt government that you can buy your way around is far better than "good government" that blocks all progress."
That certainly explains the need to build that high chain link fence. We must stem the tide of illegal Norte Americanos stampeding south through Arizona to live under such "far better" government.

On 22 December 2011, the Republic of Rwanda joined the SUN Movement with a letter of commitment from the Minister of Health. At the time, the President of Rwanda had launched an initiative to address malnutrition, followed by the first National Nutrition Summit in November 2009 and multi-sectoral nutrition committees had been established at central and local levels. The Ministry of Health is mandated to coordinate the implementation of the National Multo-sectoral Strategy to Eliminate Malnutrition (2010 – 2013) and a comprehensive Joint Action Plan to fight malnutrition under the office of the President.
Strategic Processes for Scaling Up Nutrition
- Bringing people together
- Coherent policy and legal framework
- Aligning programs around a Common Results Framework
- Financial tracking and resource mobilization
Rwanda is strongly committed to reducing malnutrition. Several multi-stakeholder platforms to scale up nutrition have been set up. At the national level, the Food and Nutrition Steering Committee (SCF&NSC)under the Prime Minister's Office is the highest level government convening body. It is co-chaired by the Ministries of Health, Agriculture, and Local Government, and provides advice and reports on nutrition and household food security. It is complemented by the National Food and Nutrition Technical Working Group (NF&NTWG), which includes participation from all partners including the Social Cluster Ministries, UN agencies, NGOs, academia, donors, and businesses. Food and Nutrition Steering Committees (DF&NSC) are planned at District level. Sector level administrations will also form Sector Food and Nutrition Steering Committees to coordinate technical assistance to communities.
REACH serves as the nutrition coordinating mechanism for UN agencies. The private sector has established the National Food Fortification Alliance, a platform which includes industries, consumer associations, academia and government ministries, and which consults mainly on food fortification. A Civil Society Alliance has been established in June 2014 with WFP as participating UN organization.

The National Nutrition Policy (2007) and the National Strategy to Eliminate Malnutrition (2010-2013) have been updated. The new National Food and Nutrition Policy (2013) and the National Food and Nutrition Strategy (2013-2018) include nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive approaches to addressing under-nutrition.
There are current policies in key sectors that have an impact on nutritional outcomes including agriculture, poverty reduction and development, health, education and social protection. Two of them are the Strategic Plan for the Transformation of Agriculture in Rwanda Phase III Plan 2013-2017and the Annual Strategic Plan 2013-2014 of the Ministry of Gender. The Ministry of Local Government has updated the Social Protection Strategy. The Health Sector Strategic Plan III (2012-2018) has also been updated. The Ministry of Agriculture has developed a costed Nutrition Action Plan (2013-2018). Other key legislations are on process for approval such as the Maternity Protection Law, Measures for the Implementation of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes, and Food Fortification.

To operationalize the National Strategy to Eliminate Malnutrition, 5 key ministries (Health, Agriculture, Education, Gender, and Local Government) are putting together yearly multi-sectoral Joint Action Plans to Eliminate Malnutrition since 2012. Programs are being progressively scaled up with increasing coverage. All 30 districts have developed District Plans for the Elimination of Malnutrition (DPEM), which are currently being implemented at varying degrees. In September 2013, the government launched the "Thousand Days in the Land of a Thousand Hills" Nutrition Campaign, which calls government and partners to focus on the available, affordable and cost-effective solutions to improve nutrition during the 1,000 days window of opportunity.
The plan has an M&E element which utilizes innovative mechanisms such as rapid SMS or performance-based contracts with mayors. The rapid SMS has also been expanded to include tracking a full 1,000 days of maternal and child health post-natal and new born care services. Currently, Rwanda is working on incorporating Length for Age Measurements into Growth Monitoring and Promotion with EU support, and is using DevInfo as a monitoring tool in 22 districts.
Rwanda hosted in early 2014 high level nutrition events such as the 3rd National Nutrition Summit "Promote the first 1,000 Days to Prevent Child Stunting"; the 2ndGlobal Conference on Bio-fortification; and the Rwanda CAADP II High Level Meeting.
Read more
The comprehensive Joint Action Plan to Fight Malnutrition is costed on an annual basis. The Government's financial contribution has been clearly identified but more clarity on partners' contribution is needed. The Government has signed an MOU with the EU to provide USD 10 million for nutrition over the next 3 years. Various partners are leveraging funds from donors both in country and outside. It is estimated that Rwanda may receive up to USD 12 million per year for nutrition over the next 3 years. The Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation also provided USD 3 million starting 2013 to support implementation of DPEM in two districts through the One UN Joint Nutrition Project. The Embassy of the Netherlands funded a nutrition programme through UNICEF starting with 10 districts in 2013 and expanded to 14 more districts in 2014. The total funding for this programme for 4 years is USD 24,724,633.

sys.dm_tran_current_snapshot (Transact-SQL)
Applies To: SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2016 Preview
Topic Status: Some information in this topic is preview and subject to change in future releases. Preview information describes new features or changes to existing features in Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Community Technology Preview 2 (CTP2).
Returns a virtual table that displays all active transactions at the time when the current snapshot transaction starts. If the current transaction is not a snapshot transaction, this function returns no rows. sys.dm_tran_current_snapshot is similar to sys.dm_tran_transactions_snapshot, except that sys.dm_tran_current_snapshot returns only the active transactions for the current snapshot transaction.
Applies to: SQL Server (SQL Server 2008 through current version), SQL Database V12, Azure SQL Data Warehouse Public Preview.
To call this from SQL Data Warehouse, use the name sys.dm_pdw_nodes_tran_current_snapshot.
The following example uses a test scenario in which four concurrent transactions, each identified by a transaction sequence number (XSN), are running in a database that has the ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION and READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT options set to ON. The following transactions are running:
XSN-57 is an update operation under serializable isolation.
XSN-58 is the same as XSN-57.
XSN-59 is a select operation under snapshot isolation.
XSN-60 is the same as XSN-59.
The following query is executed within the scope of XSN-59.
SELECT transaction_sequence_num FROM sys.dm_tran_current_snapshot;
Here is the result set.
transaction_sequence_num ------------------------ 57 58
The results show that XSN-57 and XSN-58 were active at the time that the snapshot transaction XSN-59 started. This same result persists, even after XSN-57 and XSN-58 commit or roll back, until the snapshot transaction finishes.
The same query is executed within the scope of XSN-60.
Here is the result set.
transaction_sequence_num ------------------------ 57 58 59
The output for XSN-60 includes the same transactions that appear for XSN-59, but also includes XSN-59, which was active when XSN-60 started.

The Bridge Teen Center is giving back to teens fighting cancer by creating gift bags for teens to benefit the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation (POTCF).
The Bridge Teen Center is an innovative grassroots nonprofit community center for teenagers located in Orland Park and serving the Chicago Southland area. Their mission is to provide free programs during after-school and unsupervised hours where students can develop mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually in a safe environment.
Several of the Bridge Teens who pitched in recently at the Treasure Chest Foundation's Orland Park warehouse had positive reactions to their experience. Leah Masen said, "I come to the Treasure Chest Foundation whenever I can because I have a good time and it's one way to give back to the community." Anna Palermo agreed, "This is my first time volunteering with the Foundation and I really enjoyed it! It was a great experience and it helps children with cancer be happier during their treatment." Grace Connelly, also a first-time volunteer, said, "I think it's wonderful that teenagers can help out with our community and great that people are getting involved by volunteering now, one step at a time." And Brittany Dole said, "I love going to the Treasure Chest Foundation to create gift packages and make kids smile. It means a lot to me."
Bridge Teen Center Program Director Amy McGrew recognized the positive impact on her hard-working volunteers, saying, "The Bridge Teen Center appreciates the opportunity the Treasure Chest Foundation gives us to serve our community on days when students are not in school."

What are your favorite ice cube trays for freezing? I was trying to find silicone so that it would be easy to release the frozen food, but I also wanted lids so that I could stack them. And 1 oz portions would be nice, too.
Favorite ice cube trays for freezing?
Comments (10)
I like this one:
No lid, but I cover them with press and seal for freezing, then remove cubes and put them in ziplocs.
Thanks, I found tis one, too, they have them in 1 oz cubes as well.

This is what i use. I think the portion sizes are bigger than an ounce tho.

Judgement Free - Do What Works For You!
I'm going to be starting a new job here soon (hopefully soon!) and I'll be making baby food and I was just searching around and came upon these :)
@strawberry pure. For freezing our homemade baby food I spoon the cooked food into the ice cube trays, snap on the lid, and freeze during the day or overnight. Once they are frozen I take them out of the freezer, take off the lid, twist the ice cube tray so they pop out, and dump the batches into labeled freezer bags. Then for meals we can take from, say a cube the butternut squash bag and one from the risotto. Or one from a bag labeled lamb and two from the pears. To defrost I put them in a microwave safe bowl and pop em in the microwave for 4min on power level 3, being sure to stir them up well afterwards. Or I put them in a pot on the stove, heat low-medium
We use these ice cube trays:

As written by fellow graffiti artist, and friend, RISK: "DREAM was the epitome of everything I stand for; we shared the motto, 'On to the next, burn to the last.' He loved all aspects of graffiti, but chose to strip his work down to two colors. He didn't want anyone to be able to say he hid behind colors or characters. He wanted his pure style to show through—and it did. He was a true king."

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible
This game pitted the most experienced team in the country vs the least experienced team in the country. Not surprisingly, UK came out with that deer-in-the-headlights look. Even Randle was hesitant the first half of the game. Free throw shooting, transition defense and turnovers were killers. Those three areas probably cost UK 20-25 points. Yet they rallied from a 15-point second half deficit to tie a game that wasn't decided until the final minute. Great coaching job by Cal and lots of good signs. MSU was favored by 3.5 and won by 4. Pretty much what most people expected. Great night of basketball. So glad all four teams have renewed for the next three years.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
The Harrisons played absolutely horribly. I also really hate their body language. They really need to quit with all the whining every time something doesn't go their way.
Transition defense was pathetic.
Tons of coaching will come from this game and you saw glimpses of what this team can become if they get everything squared away. They showed tremendous moxie to get back into the game like they did.
This team isn't ready for prime time just yet, but look out when it is.

"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
They are going to be very scary by January. All those 40-0 people are kind of embarrassing. That just wasn't realistic, and reeked of arrogance. (from the fans, not the program)
No shame in losing to Michigan State, as a Big Ten fan, I know they ALWAYS come to play.
Cal never predicted that this team would go 40-0. He has said that coaching a perfect season is something that he would like to do before he retires. Hopefully he'll stick around at UK until he accomplishes it.

The graphics are good but it only Has one racetrack, one song, and lets you drive one vehicle. The steering is weird and doesn't work right, I am only able to play using the auto steering and then it's not very much fun. i have played similar exercise games where it uses the front facing camera to steer and it's a lot more fun. I wish I could get my money back.
Love it
This app is very reactive and makes cardio fun! I like that you can listen to your own music with this app. It is really perfect, wish it had more tracks though and a little more variety is all.
Can't wait for updates!
Fun app. I know treadmill running is not recommended, but time flew racing during my workout! Can't wait to see what's next.

Hovhannes Kajaznuni, or Hovhannes Katchaznouni (Armenian: Յովհաննէս Քաջազնունի) (1 February 1868 – 1938) was the first Prime Minister of the First Republic of Armenia from May 30, 1918 to May 28, 1919. He was a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation.
Personal life[edit]
Hovhannes Kajaznuni was born in 1868 in the town of Akhaltsikhe, then part of the Russian Empire, now part of Georgia. He attended secondary school in Tiflis from 1877 to 1886. In 1887 he moved to St. Petersburg and entered the Citizens' Architectural Institute, graduating with honors in 1893. In St. Petersburg he joined the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, eventually becoming one of its most important members. After graduation, he worked at the construction department of the Baku provincial administration (1893-1895), as an architect in Batumi (1895–1897), and as regional architect at the Tiflis provincial administration (1897-1899). Between 1899 and 1906 he worked as a senior architect in Baku, designing hospitals and apartment buildings. After 1906 he devoted himself to political and social activities.[1]
He was forced to leave the Caucasus in 1911 to avoid being called to St. Petersburg to testify at the "Armenian Revolutionary Federation trial" mounted by the Russian government. He lived in Constantinople and then in Van until 1914, when he returned to the Caucasus. He became a member of the Armenian National Council in 1917 and was an A.R.F. representative in the Seym (the Transcaucasian Parliament) until 1918. He was on the Armenian delegation that conducted peace talks with the Ottoman Empire in Trabzon and Batoum. After the dissolution of the Transcaucasian Federation, he became the first Prime Minister of the independent Armenian state in 1918. He held this position until August 1919. He was in diplomatic missions in Europe and the United States during 1919 and early 1920. He returned to Armenia and he was arrested after the Bolsheviks came to power in December 1920, but was liberated by the February 1921 revolt against the Soviet regime. After its end in early April, he left the country and lived in Bucharest from 1921-1924. In 1925 he returned to Soviet Armenia and worked as an architect in Leninakan. He also taught at the technical department of Yerevan State University, lecturing on construction and architecture. In 1930 he joined the newly established Construction Institute and attained the title of professor there.
Kajaznuni became a victim of Stalin's Great Terror. He was arrested in 1937 and imprisoned. He died in prison in 1938, although the exact date of his death is unknown.[2]
Report to the 1923 ARF Congress[edit]
Kajaznuni prepared a critical report for the April 1923 ARF convention in Bucharest (the 10th Congress of the Party was held in 1924)[3][4] titled "Dashnaktsutyun Has Nothing More to Do," which called for the dissolution of the Party and Armenian support of Soviet Armenia.[5][6][7][8] It has been claimed that the convention of 1923 was "highly secret and closed to the public",[9] which was common for party gatherings. Kajaznuni published his report in Vienna (1923). In the same year, it was republished by non-A.R.F. circles in Tbilisi, Alexandria (Egypt), and Bucarest.[10] Its claims immediately drew rebuke from the party.[11][12][13][14] Until recently, the report was available through its abridged English translation by Matthew Aram Callender, The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnagtzoutiun) Has Nothing to Do Any More, edited by Avedis Boghos Derounian, and published by the Armenian Information Service, directed by the latter.[15] The Armenian original was reprinted twice in Yerevan in 1994 and 1995, and copies of different editions are available through major Armenian libraries worldwide.
In 2007 Turkish historian Mehmet Perinçek,[16] son of politician Doğu Perinçek, the first person to be convicted by a court of law for denial of the Armenian Genocide, claimed to have produced a new Turkish and English translation of the full text, based on a reportedly unabridged Russian copy (printed in Tbilisi, 1927) held in the Russian State Library in Moscow.[17] This story is disputed by some Armenian intellectuals such as Viken L. Attarian, who claim that all these "discoveries" are actually forgeries of this document, made by alleged Turkish unscrupulous historians to rebuke the fact of the Armenian Genocide,[18] which is proven by the fact that the translations of the text in Turkish, English, and German were published by Kaynak Press, Istanbul, as the first in a book series titled "Ermeni Belgeleriyle Ermeni Soykırımı Yalanı," "The Lie of 'Armenian Genocide' in Armenian Documents" and "Die Lüge vom Genozid an den Armeniern Anhand armenischer Dokumente.", whilst in the version which is translated from the original by Matthew A. Callender Kajaznuni describes what happened as "holocaust" (p. 7) and says:
The second half of 1915 and the entire year of 1916 were periods of hopelessness, desperation and mourning for us. The refugees, all those who had survived the holocaust, were filling Russian provinces by tens and hundreds of thousands.[19]

...the former Prime Minister of Armenia, Hovhannes Kachaznouni, published a book, The ARF Has Nothing More to Do, and migrated to Soviet Armenia. As the title suggests, Kachaznouni argued that the ARF and the other parties had no role to play in Armenian political life, now that Armenia was Bolshevik. The opponents of the ARF, of course, capitalised on this. In the same year, a response was written to Kachaznouni by high-ranking party member Rouben Darbinian, who argued that Kachaznouni was wrong to give up hope, because Sovietisation would be short lived, and the ARF needed to continue the struggle for freedom.

French bankers won't bid adieu to Paris
The word exodus tends to get bandied around a little bit too freely by those discussing the possible side-effects of some financial regulation or other. In reality, predictions about French bankers seeking refuge in London from President François Hollande's anti-finance policies are probably as overblown as similar expectations that British hedge fund managers would flee to Switzerland.

New barn
Sorry if this is on the wrong forum thingy
So I know it's not like anybody really cares about this but meh,so today i switched to a new barn and it was my first lesson there and it was really fun, every time I got over the jump my instructor raised the bar until it got to 2'9 because that's the highest the horse could jump, I found it awesome that in my first lesson at my new barn I jumped 2'9 and at my old barn which I was at for over a year just screamed at you and i only ever jumped 2'3 there, and That was like 8 ,months ago, haha. So yeah like I said it's not like anyone cares but I just felt like rambling
that's great! i know how much fun it is to finally go up a notch in jumping. Obviously you fit in well with the program, and the coach thinks you have some ability. Hopefully you'll have many fun lessons to come!
Haha thanks, and yeah it was really fun to go up because lately I've had beginners in my lessons and we just did little x-rails haha

Manchester City's hopes of an unprecedented quadruple were in tatters on Sunday after holders Wigan Athletic repeated their FA Cup heroics with a stunning 2-1 victory in their quarter-final at the Etihad Stadium.
Jordi Gomez's first-half penalty and a tap-in by James Perch gave Wigan, who beat City 1-0 in the FA Cup final at Wembley last May, a place in this semis against Arsenal. City, who won the League Cup last Sunday and need to overturn a two-goal deficit to Barcelona in the second leg of their Champions League tie, looked jaded against their second-tier opponents until they staged a thrilling late fightback.
Frenchman Samir Nasri made City's breakthrough in the 68th minute with a sweet 20-metre left-foot strike. Substitute Edin Dzeko came within inches of forcing a replay, but Emmerson Boyce produced a remarkable last-ditch block and Wigan, managed by former City favourite Uwe Rosler, held on.
Sheffield dream on
English third-tier club Sheffield United kept alive their FA Cup dream when two goals in as many minutes gave them a 2-0 victory over Charlton Athletic and a place in the semi-finals. They were joined in the last four by Hull City, who overcame a missed penalty by Sone Aluko to trounce Sunderland 3-0 in their all-Premier League quarterfinal.
Hull's Curtis Davies, David Meyler and Matty Fryatt scored in a nine-minute spell, capitalising on two wretched mistakes by Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole as Steve Bruce's club advanced to the semis for the first time since 1930.
At Bramall Lane, second-half strikes from Ryan Flynn and John Brayford caught second-tier Charlton cold, as the Blades became the first third-tier team since 2001 to reach the semis.
Midfielder Flynn put four-times Cup winners United ahead in the 65th minute, when he sneaked in at the far post to nudge home from a left-wing cross from man-of-the-match Jose Baxter.
One minute, 42 seconds later the home side doubled their lead. Jamie Murphy's surging run down the left set up defender Brayford, whose low 20-metre effort took a cruel deflection off the visitors' Richard Wood and rolled into the net.
Charlton – who were aiming to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1947, when they won the Cup – were left to rue a glaring miss by Callum Harriott when the score was still level.
Marcus Tudgay burst on to a quick free kick and hooked the ball back into the danger area, but with the United keeper out of position and half of the goal at his mercy, Harriott sidefooted wide.
Hull also advanced to the semifinals by beating Sunderland 3-0 in an all-Premier League clash. Tigers captain Curtis Davies rose highest in the 68th to head in Tom Huddlestone's free kick, …continued »
