Times are tough for the post-Michael Vick Atlanta Falcons. The team is a mess, they were dumped by their coach in the middle of last season, and apparently their fan base is a bit…fickle. How else to explain this news item from the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION?: the team is discounting tickets to their season opener against the Detroit Lions in order to sell their remaining 2,500 tickets and avoid a blackout.
The Falcons are cutting $10 off of the regular price of tickets, making them available for as low as $35 each. Which is kind of insane, when you think about it: $35 is suddenly a bargain to watch the Falcons and Lions slog through what is sure to be a 13-10 death march.
You would think that with the level of play that's going to be taking place at that game, the Falcons would be thrilled to not have that game be televised in the Atlanta area. Why poison the waters for future sales by exposing the potential audience to the 2008 brand of Falcons Football?
My last experience with "discount" tickets at an NFL game was way back when the Raiders were still in Los Angeles, and they had a metal bleacher behind one end zone at the Coliseum. I think they were called the "Sun Deck" but we referred to them as the "Sun Stroke Deck" since $10 tickets meant more money for beers to drink while baking in the midday sun on metal bleachers. My friend chose to wear his Vikings jersey to the game despite the fact that it was the Raiders they were playing against. His funeral was a lovely affair.
Maybe your day won't end on the wrong side of a baseball bat, but it's not to say that going to a Falcons/Lions game can't be exciting. It's Matt Ryan's first game as a pro! What an historic moment! Plus, Rudi Johnson's Lions debut! How about that? Please?…

How Hollywood portrays Africa, and how Africa portrays itself
I went to see The Last King of Scotland last night, as it's just opened in Nairobi after its Africa premiere in Kampala last week. It's very good – very frightening and very funny at the same time, I guess a little like Mr Amin himself. Forest Whitaker thoroughly deserves his gong.
Forest Whitaker in his Oscar-winning role
It seems Africa is all the rage on the silver screen at the moment, but I wonder what impression the wider world is forming about the place from what they are watching down the flicks?
In quick order, we had the latest Bond, Casino Royale, whose trademark opening sequence swept over a scary-looking Ugandan rebel camp. As my colleague David Blair posted
Then came Blood Diamond. True, it is an excellent portrayal of the horrors of Sierra Leone's 1990s civil war. But many people I spoke to in the country fear the outside world will think that this is how their nation is today, when it definitely is not.
And now, The Last King of Scotland. Again, a riveting historical narrative, but rooted, one hopes, in a Uganda of the past. How many people, sitting in cinemas from Altrincham to Watford, will not think that such horrors are simply the daily business of Africa?
Hollywood seems to see the continent in only one of two ways. You have the sweeping and epic scenery dotted with wildlife and gin-drinking expats, as depicted in films like Out of Africa, White Mischief or, most recently, The White Masai.
Now, it seems, directors' attention has focused on blood-letting rebels, senseless civil wars, despotic leaders and Western exploitation (The Constant Gardener perhaps the only film to show Africa or Kenya as I see it day to day).
Both of these two facets are, of course, not wrong, but they do give a narrow, depressing and short-hand view. And they do so from the experience of the 'white man in Africa', rather than through the eyes of people living here.
But it is interesting to look at how Africa presents itself on screen. The 20th biennial Pan-African Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (Fespaco) opened at the weekend in Burkina Faso. More than 200 films will be shown.
There are films, like It's Going to Rain on Conakry, showing religious soul-searching, government corruption and political manipulation. In another, Early One Morning, which is based on a true story, two Guinean boys desperate to flee their country stow away in the undercarriage of a jet heading for Europe.
Then there is the wonderfully tongue-in-cheek Africa Paradis, set way in the future when Africa or The United States of Africa has boomed and poor European immigrants are fighting to slip into the continent illegally.
Few of these plots sound particularly uplifting, perhaps, but they do ring true as presentations of daily African life in 2007. Hollywood would do well to take note if it is to continue its flirtation with Africa, and I hope it does.Â

Interview Questions Part-3 | What is an Index in SQL Server | What is the Difference between Clustered and a Non-clustered Index in SQL Server | What is Collation | What are Primary Keys and Foreign Keys in SQL Server | What's the Difference between a Primary Key and a Unique Key in SQL Server
By: Suresh Dasari Oct 5, 2011
Categories: Interview Questions
What is an Index in SQL Server?
An index is a physical structure containing pointers to the data. Indexes are created in an existing table to locate the data more efficiently and quickly (Read more Here)
What is the Difference between Clustered and a Non-clustered Index in SQL Server?
The difference is that, Clustered index is unique for any given table and we can have only one clustered index on a table. The leaf level of a clustered index is the actual data and the data is resorted in case of clustered index. Whereas in case of non-clustered index the leaf level is actually a pointer to the data in rows so we can have as many non-clustered indexes as we can on the db. (Read more Here)
What is Collation?
Collation refers to a set of rules that determine how the data is sorted and compared (Read more Here)
What are Primary Keys and Foreign Keys in SQL Server?
Primary key is used to identify records in table uniquely and it won't allow null values and duplication of data. Only one primary key is allowed for each table ()
Foreign key in one table points to primary key in another table. Foreign key is used to prevent the actions that would destroy the link between two tables.
What's the Difference between a Primary Key and a Unique Key?
Primary key is used to identify records in table uniquely and it won't allow null values and duplication of data. Only one primary key is allowed for each table.
Unique key is same as primary key only the difference is unique key allow null values. (Read more Here)

Picture yourself tossing a 2.25 pound horseshoe a few times along a 30-foot playing stretch. Now, picture yourself throwing that horseshoe 40 times aiming to make a ringer during each of the six rounds you play at New York State Horseshoe Pitching Championship held the Sept. 4. Patrick McCarthy of Oneida, 83, threw each shoe with ease, including six double-ringers against the No. 1 seed, during the state tournament in the elders' class competition. McCarthy took up horseshoes as a hobby more than nine years ago after he sold his 33-year Oneida area car dealership business, McCarthy Chevrolet Buick.
While many of his competitors have been pitching shoes from a young age, McCarthy said he found a hidden talent within himself. He has played in final matches against pitchers in their early 20s who have asked him to "cut them some slack," when the competition was heating up.
"When I told him how old I was, he threw down his shoes and ran to the fence to tell his friends," McCarthy said.
One of his toughest matches in South Berlin, Fla., placed him in quadruple overtime against a 35-year-old that he called him a "tough old steak that wasn't going away."
To see what the game was all about, he went to a horseshoe club night in Syracuse a few months after he retired from the car business in 1999.
In order to qualify for competition, McCarthy had to get a certified average from a horseshoe club. At the time, McCarthy said he didn't know of any horseshoe teams or clubs in Madison County until he heard of a club in Camden.
{Q}"They told me I had a high average going to Camden and that I would win," McCarthy said.{Q}
Unaware of how good he really was, McCarthy easily dominated the field in his first competition, walking away with a first place trophy, a horseshoe badge and a cash prize of $185.

Same-sex couples won't be saying, "I do" in Virginia, at least for now. The U.S. Supreme Court acted Wednesday afternoon, blocking same-sex marriage in the state.
This is wdbj7 I'm Jean Jadhon and I'm Chris Hurst. Same-sex couples won't be saying i Do in Virginia, at least for now. The u.s. Supreme Court acted this afternoon, blocking same-sex marriage in the state. The nine justices will have the final say, when the issue finally reaches the high court. Tonight, WDBJ7's Joe Dashiell is outside the Roanoke City Courthouse, where same sex couples were planning to apply for marriage licenses tomorrow. Joe what was the reaction? Jean and Chris, the stay doesn't come as a big surprise. People on either side of this issue were expecting it. But as they counted down the hours this afternoon, some were beginning to believe same-sex marriages might just happen tomorrow morning. Carla Spencer: You know it's been such a roller coaster, up and down, up and down. Carla Spencer says she and her partner Adrienne Kuder hadn't gotten their hopes up, but with no word on whether the court would issue a stay, they were making plans to marry on Thursay. Carla Spencer: And of course with it being such a historic, important decision, we just feel like we want to be part of history and take part of it on the very first day that we can. In Richmond, the President of The Family Foundation supported the stay, saying it would have been foolish for the court to allow same- sex marriages to move forward. Victoria Cobb/The Family Foundation: We have seen the situation create tremendous chaos in other states. These are real lives, real families, real people that are affected. And i think even Attorney General Herring understands that. Back in Roanoke Joe Cobb is the Senior Pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church of the Blue Ridge. He said he was looking forward to standing as a witness with several same-sex couples, and then holding ceremonies for them during the day. a stay he said would be disappointing. Joe Cobb: I'll be sad, because i ache for people who have worked so hard for this, but on the other hand I'll be hopeful and continue to work, as will our congregation, to make sure that this happens down the road. Carla Spencer: We're very positive about the future. we'll be very disappointed, but we're very proud of the progress we've made. So for now, there will be no same-sex marriages in Virginia. Attorney General Mark Herring has asked the court to expedite the appeal. But tonight it's not clear how long it will be before the Supreme Court has the final say on the issue. In Roanoke Joe Dashiell wdbj7 Temperatures

Environmental Risk: The Oil Boom Produces Another Spill
In late September more than 865,000 gallons of Bakken oil (see map [pdf]) spewed from a pipeline onto a North Dakota farmer's wheat fields.
Oil Boom, Pipeline Bust
The oil boom is alive and kicking in North Dakota where fracking — the technique of injecting water, sand and chemicals at high pressure deep into the Earth to liberate the fuel trapped inside rock formations — has opened up huge new reserves of oil [pdf] trapped in shale. Apparently oil spills are also kicking up a bit of a kerfuffle in North Dakota.
In August, TheGreenGrok called attention to the fact that oil spills are probably more common than you might think and may be a lot closer to home than you would want. That fact was brought home for Steve Jensen who on September 29 discovered a pipeline leak in the middle of his wheat fields.
While the pipeline, which is owned by San Antonio, Texas-based Tesoro Logistics, is only six inches in diameter, the spill covered a whopping 7.3 acres — an area equivalent to about seven football fields. How did such a small line manage to cover such a large area? Probably because no one was checking. In fact, Jensen reported that he had smelled fumes for days before he discovered it. It took even longer for the spill to be made public, perhaps because the state is not obligated to inform the public of an oil spill. North Dakota's lawmakers are questioning the response time, and the state is looking into its spill-reporting procedures. There's also some who-knew-what-when investigating going on.
Who's in Charge
The safety of the nation's 2.5 million miles of pipeline falls under the aegis of the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration through its Office of Pipeline Safety.
In principle, the Office of Pipeline Safety together with the North Dakota Public Service Commission (for intrastate pipelines) handles inspection and enforcement of pipeline safety regulations in the state. But there is concern that there are just not enough inspectors to handle the increased production from the current boom. The Office of Pipeline Safety has about 100 inspectors nationwide for the country's vast network of pipelines and only 1.5 full-time employees to review the 450 emergency response plans for 450 facilities nationwide [pdf]. Add in the partial government shutdown, and you have to wonder — I bet Jensen is wondering — who on earth was minding the pipeline store. Course, considering the numbers, even when the full government is open for business, these inspectors may be spread just a wee bit too thin. Then again, North Dakota's pipelines carry less than half of the crude (see also here) produced in the state.
Minimum Damage? Maybe. But an Uptick in Spillage.
Fortunately, the oil does not seem to have reached the water table. Unfortunately for Jensen, the field will be unusable for several years.
Still, the spill will significantly boost this year's tally for pipeline spills, which as of mid-September was close to 2.3 million gallons — an almost 20 percent increase over 2012's total.
To keep this crude post short and sweet, let's let some photos of the spill (also here) wrap things up.

A guest says:
Such spill events do not help the oil transport by pipeline indudstry and surely will increase public and envronmentalist opposition to new pipeline projects. With new oil being produced in North America and around the World, new transport capacities will be needed. Of the various modes of oil transport, pipeline transport is the more economiclly efficent mode and most probably safer than by rail, trucks, or barges. Consequenly reducing the the risk of pipeline spills is essential for the efficient exploitation of new oil resources.
While human inspection of pipelines is necessary to ascertain their integrity at a particular instant of time, it could be constrained however, as hinted at by Dr. Chameides, by manpower availability and/or cost.Surly high freqency human inspections that could be warranted for reducing the incidence and the magnitude of spills will be prohibitivly expensive.
This brings up the question: Why remote monitoring and sensing technologies are not sufficiently employed in oil pipeline networks? I am sure that, if such technologies are employed for the online monitoring of pipeline integrity, then fast detection of leaks and knowledge of their location will be possible, and this could go a long way in reducing if not eliminationg the impact and risk of oil pipeline spills.

Stacey he looks great looking forward to seeing the tree one lit. Good night everyone
That does look good archie
chicky, it's another language to me
Great photos, I really enjoy looking at them. The white peacock is stunning, I would imagine that they are quite rare?
That is a lovely photo James, I'm sure your son is very happy with it
Hello everyone, been doing some stuff on gumtree and freecycle, brilliant places
Managed to catch the end of Autumn watch and the bit about the migrating birds, amazing.
Great pumpkin again Stacey had to look up what lo meant.
Wow that's a wall of snow
I tend to go with at least twice the size of the bulbs. I have planted crocus/grape hyacinths deeper than that and they always seem to find there way through.
I think with the larger bulbs the deeper the better as I regualary disturb a lot of the smaller ones, I just chuck those ones back in
It would be good to make something out of them, your right the prices of some wooden stuff is sometimes unbelivable
Great pics Bill, as others have said when it snows in the Uk, we don't seem to be anywhere prepared and the whole country seems to descend into chaos. I don't like it much but it does look beautiful
I use the cheap brown paper money envelopes and am putting them in a dark cool cupboard. First year of proper seed collecting

Best Onion Rings (2007)
Little Hip's Diner
Little Hip's pays homage to a now-defunct diner once located in San Antonio. Among its standout classic Texas-style (by way of Louisiana) dishes is the homemade onion rings. While most local diners settle for the frozen bag of prefab rings, Little Hip's shows the love by breading every one of these flaky grease-soaked halos to order. There are plenty of sandwiches and barbecue to go with them. Next time you're in the mood for a damn good burger with a side of homemade love and a Coke, belly up to an old-school stool and enjoy a soon-to-be classic, complete with an extra-sweet and talkative waitress.

Metal Shop, RevisitedLiz Stanley
These handmade earrings, bracelets, and rings from Fay Andrada are the perfect accessory for the fall wardrobe you're pulling out of storage right now. Large statement pieces but simplistic in design, shape, and color make them the perfect accessory to your blazers and striped sweaters this season.
I love the look of handmade hammered metal jewelry. You can literally see the marks where they hammered and pounded it into shape to create unique look, and because of that, each one is slightly different. They're making me wish I had paid more attention in metal shop when I was in Middle School. I think my silver ring barely earned a passing grade, but we'll give Fay Andrada an A+ for these beauties!
Click through to see more of my favorite Fay Andrada picks plus a totally unexpected holiday gift for him!

An interview with the stars of Joel & Ethan Coen's "Hail, Caesar!"
I'd love to see a thriller that was about what "Red Lights" starts to be about, the debunking of psychics by expert paranormal investigators. For its first two acts, the movie had me in its grip. Then it comes apart. Is there a fatal compulsion that draws movies into unnecessary action scenes?
The casting could hardly be improved upon. Sigourney Weaver is Margaret Matheson, a no-nonsense scientist who has dedicated her life to exposing psychic fraud. Think of James Randi. Weaver possesses an intrinsic authority that adds weight to her words; she can sound like she knows exactly what she's talking about.
Apparently she's never met a psychic she couldn't expose, except for one. That is the well-named Simon Silver (Robert De Niro), a blind mentalist whose specialty is bending spoons with his mind alone. This man has a hypnotic power over audiences and an uncanny stage presence. And De Niro allows him to embody something more — a haunting aura of preternatural mystery.
Apparently Matheson and Silver have been on a collision course for their entire careers. Her career means nothing unless she can expose him; his means nothing unless he can defeat her investigation. Now is that a great setup, or what?
Joining Matheson in her investigations is a star-struck younger colleague, Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy), and an ambitious intern named Sally Owen (Elizabeth Olsen). On the opposite team is a snaky academic named Paul Shackleton (Toby Jones), who resents Matheson's dominance in their field and believes there may be something to Silver's abilities.
In a way, there'd better be. Only un-debunked psychics and unexplained phenomena keep psychic investigators in business. Otherwise, they'd be as obsolete as the owners of talking horses.
Simon Silver does more than bend spoons, and "Red Light" does an impressive job of suggesting the drama of his theatrical appearances aided by De Niro's own charismatic stage presence. But these scenes are mostly showmanship, and I would have appreciated more detail about what he does and how he seems to do it.
The film also does a crafty job of setting its stage. It was written and directed by Rodrigo Cortes, whose "Buried" (2010) you may remember. That was the film shot entirely from the POV of a man buried in a coffin. "Red Lights" also shows a director who knows how to construct a story and build interest, but at the end, it flies apart. I wonder if there was an earlier draft. I suspect most audiences would prefer a film with an ending that plays by the same rules as the rest of the story.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Where can Metal Gear go from here?
Rising was a perfect expansion of the Metal Gear universe. Beneath all the flashy gameplay is a really interesting view of the world after MGS4, looking at the implications of cyberware, the fallout of the war economy and how it's affected people.
That said, it was written in-house by Konami rather than Platinum.
Sometimes, things just need to be handed over to new people, to get a fresh perspective and see how it's influenced them over the years.
I'd way prefer Rising to continue. We have such an interesting direction to take Raiden in and so much more of the world to see! Reply +3

Can WOW's next expansion bring its legion of lost heroes home?
I left for Final Fantasy XIV over a year and a half ago and have not looked back since. The consistent nature of the world, a strong story written by one person (rather than a committee that seem to dislike half of their own work), availability on console, surprisingly good character creation (it's easy to make characters that stand out and have their own look) and frequent updates have kept me subscribed. No Siege of Orgrimmar-tier content droughts there!
It's a shame, because WoW holds such fond memories. Sadly, that's not enough to sell me on. Putting in Demon Hunter seems like a last-ditch appeal to the people who have been asking for the class for years.
All the same, I hope those who are still playing and those who are tempted back will enjoy themselves. Reply +5

Bloodborne distant PS1 cousin Shadow Tower coming to PSN
Old-school From games were slow, clunky and awkward as fuck... but intensely rewarding and atmospheric. If you thought Dark Souls took patience, quadruple that for King's Field!
Eternal Ring was also one of theirs, which involved searching for the tiniest rings, which had no sparkle or indication they were there. Just dull, brass rings hidden in obscure places... But the most amazing music and atmosphere.
Shadow Tower is fascinating. Without any music, though... I suppose we just have to listen closely to the environment!

DA2 was also one of the first completely queer-friendly spaces in video games. People can bitch about "EVERYONE IS BI IS UNREALISTIC", but you know what? That's an accepting, welcoming thing that you just don't see anywhere else.
Anyone that makes safe spaces in games for people to be themselves is deserving of great respect. It takes guts to do it, but Bioware don't just make games for one market. They aim at as many people as they can and the loss of hateful, narrow-minded people can only be a good thing. Reply +2

>The Japanese version is fully localised in English and is free of region protection on PS3, but not on Xbox 360.
Nope! I'm playing the 360 version, it's completely region-free and also defaults to English and Anarchy Reigns. It has all of its achievements, too, so please, nobody worry about the 360 version. It's also decently populated with import gamers. Europe matches exist! Reply +16
Sega sacrificing Euro/Oz operations to focus on four core IPs
Platinum are no longer tied to SEGA-- their four-game deal ran out with Anarchy Reigns. Here's hoping they made sure to keep ownership of their IPs, so they can work with someone else that might actually foster their talent and advertise their games!
SEGA are sickeningly irrelevant. Reply 0

I made this birthday cake for my gf Sarah's birthday. I'm terrible with making 3D things, but i can just about roll marzipan balls!
how did you do the stars! .3.
OMG this cake is amazing!
oh wow
sugar frosted diabetes O_O;
Yummy! <33
Thats brightened my day :L How long did it take?
Damn, that takes patience. Outcome was awesome though.
This is insane in one of the most awesome ways
She must think you're a legend, and if not - I'm doing it on her behalf. Hope it tasted this awesome

haha! thats just adorable! <3
Must train boyfriend to make similar awesomeness. This, my dear chap, is amazing
This is too awesome but i bet no one ate it. The cakes that look the best are always the worst to eat. Sooo sickly
actually it got eaten in one go, there were a lot of people. they KILLED the cake
Oh god that is a genius idea. How did you do the shiny white teeths?
the faces are drawn on with cake pens, and the white teeth are just little blobs of icing applied with those cake decorating kits.
My eyes squinted from happiness.
Too freaking adorable. ♥
