UW prof puts microbes to work in the kitchen
Tasty creatures talk highlights food that grows
Bakers and beer brewers know the role that science plays in the making of food, but one UW-Waukesha professor is using examples from the kitchen to teach students about microbes. Assistant Professor of Biology Suzanne Joneson recently shared that knowledge with the public during a Tasty Creatures lecture which was held on Dec. 5.
Joneson explained that microbes are "generally defined by their small size - things that are usually too small to see with the naked eye." Microbes are part of microbiology - the study of small things. "In practice, microbes include things as varied as bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, and algae," she added.
"While all cells respire, there is a diversity of alternative metabolic pathways in microbes that humans have learned to harvest for our benefit in food production. These alternative metabolic pathways can be grouped into a general process called fermentation, and there is archeological evidence that humans have been using microbial fermentation to produce food products since at least 9,000 B.C.," explained Joneson. She further explained that fermentation has helped humans extend the storage life of food products as fermented food products are not as easily spoiled as fresh food products. Fermentation plays a role in: coffee production, chocolate, bread, beer, wine, cheese, sour-cream, cultured buttermilk, salami and cured meats, sauerkraut, kimchi, traditional pickles, soy-sauce, miso, mushroom-production, and much more.
A palatable lesson
Students in Biology 251 Microbiology, a semester long course with two lab sessions per week, set up experiments and read results to learn how to properly handle microbes, grow them and study diagnostic microbial biochemical characteristics.
"In addition to learning clinical skills, they also learn about microbes in the kitchen, in hand-washing, and in testing environmental water sources," Joneson said.
Several weeks before the semester is over, the class bleaches down the whole lab and then makes food with microbes. In this and previous semesters, students have made goat cheese, sour-cream, cultured buttermilk, sauerkraut, kimchi, pickled vegetables and yogurt.
"We make the food far enough in advance that there is plenty of time for the microbes to do their fermentation, and for us to eat the food on the last day of class."
The importance of microbes
"Microbes are everywhere. Without them, humans couldn't survive," said Joneson. "Microbes can do anything. It is hard to imagine a life-style, niche, or metabolic process, that isn't fulfilled by a microbe. The more we understand about microbes, the more we understand about humans."
"It is an exciting time to be a microbiologist interested in human health," said Joneson.
She said that a five year National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded study, started in 2008, is giving people insight into the frontier of the human microbiome - the set of microbes naturally present in and on the human body.
"While most people focus on the few microbes who cause us disease, most microbes live with us symbiotically and provide a beneficial presence. Microbes help us digest our food, regulate our weight and build an immune system," she said. There is increasing evidence that microbes might also play a role in our behavior and development.
"In addition, microbes help us deal with wastes that we generate, they cycle the most basic elements necessary for life in the environment, and in the lab they have helped us figure out the most basic fundamentals of life. Microbes are a good thing."
Joneson earned a doctorate. in biology at Duke University, where her dissertation investigated the molecular biology of lichen symbiosis and microbial communication. When she's not collecting or identifying lichens, she enjoys exploring the fascinating intersection of cooking, chemistry and microbiology.
Joneson hopes to hold another Tasty Creatures lecture in the future.

Have It Your Way continued...
2. Hamburgers. Ask the butcher to grind up a fresh, extra-lean, top-quality sirloin steak trimmed of visible fat. To make your burgers juicier, mix in a moist, flavorful ingredient, like soy sauce, minced garlic, tomato-based chili sauce, teriyaki sauce, or BBQ sauce. Dress it with condiments such as mustard and BBQ sauce instead of mayonnaise-based sauces, and use plenty of raw vegetable fillers (like onions, tomato, and lettuce). Top it with reduced-fat cheese, if cheeseburgers are what you crave. Then serve your sandwich on a whole-grain bun.
3. Chicken Sandwiches. Chicken sandwiches can be good choices, if they're skinless, grilled (instead of fried), dressed with low-calorie condiments, and served on a whole-grain bun. It's simple to make a BBQ chicken sandwich at home using grilled chicken breasts (you can even use your indoor grill or toaster oven). Serve it on a whole-grain bun topped with plenty of raw veggies.
4. Fried Chicken. The trick to making tasty oven-fried chicken is to dip skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into strips, if desired) in low-fat buttermilk, then coat the outside with a seasoned crumb mixture. Then coat the outside of the coated chicken pieces generously with canola cooking spray (on both sides). Bake in a preheated 450-degree oven until nicely brown (about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the pieces).
5. Milkshakes. For a lighter milkshake, just use light ice cream. Find a flavor that works for you, perhaps light vanilla or chocolate ice cream, or any flavor of sherbet. Adding nonfat or 1% low-fat milk instead of whole milk will shave more calories and fat while increasing protein slightly.
6. Onion Rings and Fries. All you need to make golden-brown oven onion rings or fries is a hot oven (450 degrees), veggies cut or separated into your desired shape, and a small amount of canola oil (or cooking spray) to coat the outside of the fries or rings.
7. Biscuits. Don't let their innocent looks fool you. One biscuit from the Popeye's chain, for example, contains 240 calories, 14 grams of fat, and 4 grams of saturated fat. Try making biscuits at home following a traditional recipe but using a less-fat margarine with added plant sterols (like Take Control or Benecol) instead of shortening, and using low-fat buttermilk in place of milk or cream.
8. Hash Browns. If you get them at McDonalds, each patty contains 140 calories, 8 grams of fat, 1.5 grams saturated fat, and 2 grams trans fat. Burger King's small hash brown has 230 calories, 15 grams of fat, 4 grams saturated fat, and 5 grams trans fat. Instead, buy frozen hash brown patties at your supermarket (make sure you get the ones with 0 grams fat per serving). Then check out the recipe for hash brown patties below.

I wonder how much our quality of life would improve if all workers got paid days off and used them. I know that a lot of parents would wind up having more days they could spend quality time with their families. Don't we complain a lot on here that parents aren't spending enough time with their kids? Maybe a change in work and paid vacation days would help with that. Perhaps there could be some big incentive for companies to offer better vacation/time off benefits.

Could it be that the American worker works harder with longer hours and less
compensation than many other countries in the world yet we are called upon to
finance the roll of policeman in the world.
What is wrong with this picture? Perhaps other countries who are buying up our businesses should shoulder more responsibility with keeping the world safe?
Example we only receive 10% of our oil from the middle east yet we expend huge amounts of revenue to keep the shipping lanes open and the pumps producing. Why don't the countries who use the majority of the oil shoulder this cost and responsibility?
If they do not have the equipment they could pay our costs to do it. Why do we do it for free?

Wow! What a terribly dishonest way to phrase something. Just because the government doesn't mandate something, automatically means Americans don't get any of that?!?!

One of these days our citizens are going to put two and two together and discover this country and our government is at odds with the working class. we work more hours with less vacation and when it comes to wealth accumulation, the net worth of the 50th percentile working family (based on annual income) in America is number 27th in the world, far less than these other countries cited in the article. But to our credit, our efficient and productive middle class has made it so we have a higher percentage of millionaires and billionaires than any other major country. So aren't we proud of ourselves.

"Singaporeans love Seasonal Festivals" Top 5 Page for this destination Singapore Local Custom Tip by bpacker
Singapore Local Customs: 232 reviews and 163 photos
Now for a country with no seasons at all, Singapore celebrate season festivals with a vengence. Undeterred by the fact that it only rains or shine over here , Singaporeans will buy pussy willows during the Spring festival, buy real, yes, real Christmas trees that wilt in our tropical heat in no time at all during the Yuletide season and lanterns and mooncakes during the Lantern Festival. In case you're wondering, mooncakes are lard-filled orbs of bean paste and egg yolks that no healthy Singaporean would consider eating on any other month. Still, come September during the Mid Autumn Festival, they will go out dutifully, in full force to buy the best mooncakes in town and hold lantern competitions in a fairyland of lights and colour in the Chinese Garden. Why? This perhaps harks back to a time long ago, when our Chinese ancestors, filled with homesickness for their Motherland and practice these time bound traditions in their new tropical home. I'm quite sure it gave them some measure of comfort and for us, the migrant lot, some comforting reminder of the past and our roots . As for me, I'll give a pass on those orbs of lard, I'd rather have a cheery lantern anytime.

Released: Oct 01st, 2003
Running Time: 84
Director: Craven Moorehead
Company: North Pole Enterprises
Distribution Companies: New Sensations

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
No misogyny, just cock-suckin\' to fill those cavities in the oral section.
Craven Moorehead serves up 13 (of course) blowjob scenes, again showing himself a master of the genre, adding interviews and stripteases and occasional gropes to the scenes, and choosing shots that flatter the girl, now looking up, now from the guy's POV, now from behind, now just watching a bouncing boob or a girl fingering herself while sucking a cock, using edits rather than transitions and keeping the pace and enthusiasm up.
From innocent-looking Wendy James, claiming she lost her virginity on camera a couple of weeks ago, to big-eyed Southern belle Julie Robbins winking at camera to quivering Haley, spreading her labia to camera and saying, "I'm horny," to big-boobed Candice, studiously concentrating as she sucks and strokes and delightedly laughing as the guy comes, to Hannah Harper, cooing, "I came here to suck cock," in her classy British accent to wide-eyed Roxy Heart, prompted to say how much she loves sucking cock, and purring it in French. Brassy Cailey energetically bobbing her head on the dick, buxom Alex licking her lips when Moorehead says, "You like to suck dick, don't you?" And more.
Each scene gives something new to look at and get turned on by. Pre-nom for Oral Video.

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
It ain't no fun ... if the homies can't have none!
It isn't very often that a movie comes along and completely dominates the senses. It fills the screen with so much sexual intensity that it sends the mind into erotic overload. Watching this movie in sections not only becomes a recommendation, it's a must!
This is exactly the type of flick that director Chris Streams masterfully delivers in the pioneer installment to what one only hopes will become a regular series. In it, irresistible women like Tori Black, Lisa Ann and Jenna Haze go after black cock with scads of razor sharp intensity, ending in multiple cum loads of mocha froth to their faces!

Grace Schmidt, 98, of Olivia died Friday, September 20, 2013 at the RenVilla Nursing Home in Renville. Funeral services were Tuesday at St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Danube with Pastor Michael Kuschel officiating. Burial was in St. Matthew's South Cemetery.
Grace Ann Schmidt was born July 21, 1915 at Sanborn to Albert and Mata (Winters) Schwanke.
When she was young her family moved to Olivia where she grew up and graduated from Olivia High School.
Grace married William E. Schmidt September 16, 1936 at Zion Lutheran Church in Olivia and they were blessed with two daughters. They made their home and farmed at Danube retiring in 1980. William and Grace moved into Olivia in 1990, and they truly had enjoyed spending time traveling. William preceded her in death in 2001, and she maintained her own home until 2003 at which time she moved into Fairview Place.
Grace then resided at the Golden LivingCenter for one year and the past two years at RenVilla Nursing Home. Grace had been a longtime and faithful member of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Danube.
She had enjoyed raising chickens and sheep when they lived on the farm, gardening, reading and baking throughout the years, as well as doing embroidery, crocheting and quilting.
Grace is survived by her two daughters and their husbands: Carol and Eldon Jordan of Vesta and Sharon and John Sietsema of Sacred Heart; her grandsons: Darrel (and Leslie) Refsland, Scott (and Sandra) Refsland and Steven (and Valerie) Jordan; her granddaughters: Lori (and Duane) VanMevern and Lois Jordan; her great-grandchildren: Teddy, Ashley and Annie Refsland, Nathan and Kayla Refsland, Brian and Allison Jordan, Matthew Swanepoel, Amanda and Jonathan Piehl and Hillary and Michael Sietsema and her one great-great-granddaughter Giana Grace Swanepoel.
Grace was preceded in death by her parents, her husband William, her son-in-law Harvey Refsland and her two brothers Clifford Schwanke and Marvin Schwanke.
Blessed be her memory.

Dear Life
Alice Munro
Knopf, $26.95, 336 pp.
Time takes its toll on many writers but seems to leave others less scathed. Consider William Trevor and Nadine Gordimer and John Barth, all still productive past the age that Ronald Reagan was when he finished his presidency. Then there's Alice Munro, whose stories still appear with reassuring frequency in Harper's and the New Yorker and whose newest collection, Dear Life, contains not just reliably good work but some of her best yet.
Dear Life is Munro's thirteenth collection of short fiction (to go with one novel), yet these stories exhibit the same mix of dramatic incisiveness and thematic heft that has long characterized her work. Munro has always avoided sentimentality, but here she's ruthlessly unsentimental. The language is spare and the depictions of conflict and confrontation unsparing, while the internal monologue is stripped down to frank self-assessment sometimes conveyed in "sentences" of a single word. There's little surface warmth, and not only because the stories are often set in the dirty snow of small-town Ontario. But it would be a mistake to equate that with a lack of empathy or a coldness of spirit. Munro engages deeply with her characters—mainly women too smart...

This hotel is brilliant. Stayed for 2 nights and had terrific service. The only reason I have not given this hotel a 5 star rating is the breakfast foods were cold with the exception of the eggs cooked on demand, and as per usual throughout China the beds were extremely hard. From the moment we arrived the staff here were brilliant, a very speedy check in. We were given a corner room which was huge on the 41st floor and the views were brilliant. Having stayed in the Sofitel in the square previously the Novotel Atalantis is simply 100% better, it is only a short cheap taxi ride to the Bund and also to the Science and Technology Museum markets for some great shopping experiences. Next door to the hotel is a great massage place very inexpensive and a fantastic service highly recommend to go here especially after a full days shopping or sightseeing. English is spoken enough here to be understood. Convenient store across the road and a Starbucks on the corner of the hotel. Cleanliness of the room was great, air conditioning and wifi worked very well, shower was really good as well. Had room service both nights as we were exhausted and not a single complaint, meals were plentiful and arrived promptly and hot. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and would gladly stay here again.

FOLEY, Ala. (AP) - A judge in Baldwin County has ended a long-running dispute among former and current Foley city officials over a 1941 painting of the Battle of Mobile Bay.
Circuit Judge Charles Partin ruled that former Foley Mayor Arthur Holk loaned the painting to the city and should have it back.
Foley Mayor John Koniar said the city would not appeal. He said city officials canceled the insurance policy on the painting and municipal crews delivered it to Holk.
The painting, created by John McCrady for the Grand Hotel at Point Clear, was appraised at $200,000 in 2008 by New Orleans art dealers.
It had been in Foley City Hall prior to the ruling.

IRVING, Texas—The Electronic Security Association announced March 26 that Honeywell Security has returned as the exclusive Platinum-level Executive Strategic Partner for 2014.
IRVING, Texas—The Electronic Security Association recently announced that Telguard, Axis Communications and Tri-Ed Distribution have agreed to support the association as gold-level executive strategic partners for 2014.
IRVING, Texas—The past year on Capitol Hill will be remembered for legislative inaction and partisan rifts so deep they culminated in a 16-day government shutdown.
Jay Hauhn, chief technology officer and VP of industry relations at Tyco Integrated Security, has been named president of CSAA. The announcement was made at the organization's recent annual meeting in Quebec City. Hauhn, who most recently served as vice president for the organization, assumes the role held by Robert Bean, whose term expires this year.
Hauhn is actively involved in several industry organizations. Since 2011, he has served as chairman of the board at The Security Industry Association, a role in which he has executive responsibility for all interaction with industry associations, regulatory agencies and state and federal governments. His current term as Chairman of the Board at SIA ends this year.
Hauhn also sits on the board of directors at the Security Industry Alarm Coalition, and he is chairman of the Electronic Security Association's government relations committee.
I'm scheduled to speak with Hauhn later this week about his expanded role at CSAA. In that interview, I'll discuss some of Hauhn's short- and long-term ambitions as the newly minted leader of the organization.
IRVING, Texas—The design of the 2014 ESA Leadership Summit is as inclusive as it is basic: The summit will cater to companies, whatever their size or revenue, with ambition to grow their accounts.
IRVING, Texas—An Electronic Security Association panel of experts recently completed the ESA Electronic Security Guidelines for Schools, a resource for school officials who are considering adding electronic security systems to existing security programs.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—David Koenig, partner at Capital Fire & Security in Madison, Wis., has received the Morris F. Weinstock Person of the Year Award from the Electronic Security Association.
The last time SSN caught up with Mary Jo Vance, she was exploring opportunities in security consulting after a stint with 1 Time Inc. in Nevada and the Central American nation of Belize. Now the CSAA's 2007 Manager of the Year has launched a venture that combines her love of travel with her dedication to the industry: plugging in as a temporary central station manager whenever and wherever she is needed.
"It's a new concept and I truly believe there is a market for it," Vance said last week from her home base outside of St. Louis. "When I came up with the idea, I asked myself what makes me happy and what am I good at. … I used to fly many years ago for British Caledonian, which is now British Airways, and I was always ready to pick up and go. And what's my passion? The security industry. So what's tying me down now? Nothing."
Vance, better known in the industry as MJ, said the "have manager, will travel" concept will appeal to companies that need an experienced hand to fill in at vacation time, to help groom a new monitoring supervisor, or to handle more pressing concerns.
"I just got a call last night from a prospective client who said he had a central station manager who had some personal problems and just up and left," she said. "Although that's not the best way to exit, it does happen, so what do you do? Who fills in until a seasoned manager is hired? That's where my services come in."
Vance's experience includes eight years at CenterPoint Technologies, where she was vice president of operations and business development. She also has served as the president of ESA of Missouri, president of the St. Louis Alarm Association, and treasurer of the Missouri Burglar and Fire Alarm Association. She received the Presidential Award from the Fire Marshals' Association of Missouri in 2010.
Vance said she keeps the identities of her clients confidential and that her services aren't limited to the United States. "I have passport, will travel. It's current," she said with a laugh. To find out more, drop her an email at email@example.com.
IRVING, Texas—A high school student from Michigan is the recipient of the Electronic Security Association's $10,000 scholarship, according to an ESA statement.

The hotel is very nice and in a great location but it is more suited to younger people. There is always activity going on in the lobby and restaurant. For two nights we had a neighbor who partied late at night. We had to call the front desk several times to complain.

My aim is to develop strategies and methodologies to promote species conservation by using taxonomic information at different levels focussing in Brazil (Rubiaceae and Cactaceae).
Currently I am engaged in a survey of the vegetation and flora of the Brazilian Highlands ('Campos Rupestres'), where a large number of endemic species occupy a relatively small area. Tropical highlands face increasing challenges from land development, turistic pressure and, more recently, increased frequency of fires through climate change. I aim to generate knowledge to verify how many of the species are found within protected areas and to justify changes that maximize the protection of endangered plants.
I have worked in floristics and conservation of Brazil for over 30 years, working in accelerated surveys, floras and checklists. I am one of the coordinators of the Brazilian Flora Online and contribute to Brazilian red-listing activities.

Skill Level Beginner
The point of this web site is to allow us to view and interact with reports. But to do that, we need to make some first. There is a couple of ways to do it, but the one I'm going to pick is this icon here on the bar called Report Builder. You might first think this is a little web site or web application, but it actually isn't. In fact, the first time you click it, you may have to click OK once or twice, because it's going to install an application on your Desktop. This is SQL Server Report Builder, and we're in the 3.0 version of this application with SQL Server 2008 R2.
This is an Office style application that you'll use to design your reports, to build your reports, and then they'll be pushed back, saved up to that web site, the Report Manager web site, so that other people can use them and view them. So when it opens up it does have a Getting Started panel that offers to step you through several different wizards. But I'm just going to dismiss that and kind of go back to basics with Report Builder. This application is open. I've got a blank report waiting to be designed here.
Down towards the bottom, I can see a message that says we're currently connected to the report server that I was just in. Yes, that looks correct. But what I have to do is two things. I have to define where it is my data is coming from. My Data Sources. So I've got a Data Sources, a folder over here. I'm going to right-click it and say Add Data Source, describe a connection to some source of data. Now the more advanced you get with Reporting Services, you're going to be likely to setup shared connections.
Connections you want to use again and again. I don't have any, so I'm going to have to select the other option to Use a connection embedded in my report. I'm going to give this data source a name. I want to use it to connect to AdventureWorksLT, so I might as well call it something like dsAdventureWorksLT. I'm just using ds as a prefix to mean data source. It is a SQL Server connection I want to talk to, though I do have a whole bunch of other options, including Azure, Parallel Data Warehouse, ODBC, SharePoint List, Hyperion Essbase and TERADATA, but we're sitting with good old SQL Server.
Then I'm going to click the Build ellipses button here to help me describe my connection, and it's actually a very simple. It's essentially the same information I have to tell it when I'm connecting to SQL Server Management Studio. What server is it? Well, it's the local server, which I'll represent with a dot. I'm going to use Windows Authentication, and as soon as I type that, I'll have a drop-down list. What database you want to talk to? Well, AdventureWorksLT. I'll click the button to test the connection. Everything succeeded. Click OK.
Click OK. So that's step one. My data source is defined, a connection to AdventureWorksLT that this report can use. But I haven't actually said what data I want. Because I'm not just going to dump the entirety of the database on to the page. So this is step two, define the dataset. Now you've got your data source. What do you want to do with it? So I'll right-click and say Add Dataset. Once again, we can give it a name. I'll just leave the default name of DataSet1. And it says, do you want to use a shared one? No, I don't.
I'm going to have to use a dataset embedded in my report, because there is nothing out there to share. Well, what connection, what data source are we using? Well, the only one we have. The AdventureWorksLT one that I just made. After that, here is where I described the query. I can write standard SQL SELECT statements here. I could check this box to select a stored procedure, which would be a great way of working with reports because we can have a nice efficient stored procedures stored in the database.
But unfortunately I don't have one, so I've got the Text option. However, I'd like to think that I'm pretty lazy about this. So rather than type it, I'm going to click this button to say Query Designer. This gives me a great builder of content that I can start to expand the different parts of my database. I've already described my connection, so it knows the options for me. I could then start drilling down into Tables and saying yes, I'd like to have information about the customer. I'd like to know their FirstName, their LastName, and their CompanyName, and their EmailAddress.
I can start to select information from other tables. Perhaps I want to know my customers information and what city and what country they're in. Well, if I do that, as we know, we've got to describe some kind of relationship between the two. Now, while I'm doing this process, I do have a Run Query button up at the top that I can run and click this. It's telling me well, the problem is the following tables aren't related to each other. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to connect them.
Well, it actually does a pretty good job of connecting them. You just have to make sure you're selecting options from tables that are connected to each other. Now, right now, Address and Customer actually aren't connected to each other. They have a join table in between, which is CustomerAddress. So all I'm going to come down-- is come in to CustomerAddress and select one from one table and one from the other. The great thing is while this Auto Detect has the blue box, meaning it's selected, the next time I hit Run Query, it's going to detect those relationships.
Yes, indeed, it's going to bring me back both the information from the Customer table and the information from the Address table where the two are joined together, which is great. We can go on a little further than that. Maybe what I want is customer information from the Customer table, address information from the Address table, and some order information from say the SalesOrderHeader table. Well, from there, the things I'm interested in are the CustomerID and let's say the TotalDue. Do another quick Run Query.
I like to do these step-by-step, where it seems to be actually connecting all of these together. One of the great things is if we're not sure about the SQL that's being generated, up here we have this Edit as Text button. I can jump into that and it actually shows me the SQL that is trying to build, which in this case has the JOIN statements. In fact, that looks pretty good. I don't want to mess with it. I'll just click the Edit as Text button again to take me back into the Designer view. There are ways I can start to actually add aggregate functions over here too.
I could decide to use my COUNTs, my MAX, my MIN, my SUM, all of that. I don't need to use any right now. This is actually just fine for me. Below this, we have applied filters that we could start to type in things like the FirstName, like a particular Value. We see a little later how we can actually parameterize this. I'm just going to leave it as is. Although, just to show one last thing, I'll show how you could jump into say the Edit as Text part and just if I wanted to, use there SQL as a starting point and then just finish it off with mine. ORDER BY TotalDue DESC. Click OK.
This is all I need to define this dataset, although I could step through renaming options for the fields, change things like collation, add my own filters, add my own parameters. I'm not going to do that right now. I'm just going to click OK. Well, then what? We have this information that could just be dragged and dropped on to our report. Now right now, that wouldn't be a very useful report if all I had was a State or a FirstName in the middle of it. There are a couple of helpers if I know that I'm going to have multiple rows of information.
I click up here on my Insert tab. I have what are called data regions. The simplest is a List, and you just drop your fields anywhere in that and it'll repeat them. But we also have the Table here. Go to Table Wizard, which is quite useful. Click that guy. It's going to say, is there a dataset already defined? Well, yes, there is, this one. So I'll select that new dataset and click Next. The next setup is asking to arrange the fields, because of course the data I brought back could be being used for any ID. I could be wanting to total things up or group them together.
The main part that we're interested in here is the values. I can drag these things across, FirstName, LastName, CompanyName, EmailAddress, City, State, and all I need is TotalDue. You'll see that there is a little drop- down here where you still can add on your choice of aggregate functions. I'm just wanting a fairly flat list, so that's okay. If I was expecting multiple customers from the same company, I could drag over CompanyName into Row groups.
To start breaking that apart into groups of rows. I don't have to here. I am just wanting something fairly flat so I'm going to click Next. It gives me a preview of what it's going to show, organizes the table. If I was grouping multiple things with aggregate functions, I'd have an option to show some totals and grand totals, but I'm not. It's just a flat list drawn from multiple tables here. I've got a choice of various styles that we could use. Let's pick Slate and click Finish.
This is our report now. I have button over here that I can click Run to take a little preview of it. It actually seems to be working okay. We're actually drawing the information. It's in descending order of TotalDue. I'm going to click the button up here to say Design, switching back into the Design mode. Maybe I think that my fonts are actually showing up a little bit large right now, and I want to affect the fonts on the top column. I'm going to do a select anywhere in here, and then you'll notice that I have a little great handle over here on the left.
I can select that and then as long as I've got the Properties Inspector open, and if I haven't, I can get that from the View part of the Ribbon here. I can select that first row. Come down to Font and I think I'm going to change that to a FontSize of 8 points. It looks good. I'll also do 8 points on the second row too. I can actually do a lot of formatting. In fact, most of what you end up doing with Report Designer is going to be in the formatting and arranging of this.
I still don't have a title for my report. So I'm going to click to add some title here. Customer Amounts perhaps. Then go up to the Ribbon and hit Save. Now what it's going to ask is, where to? And here is the default. Save up to the website, up to the Report Manager website. Well I am about to give this a name. I'm going to call this Customer Totals and click Save. Well, the question is so what? Now I can come back and design this a little later.
But what I'm going to do is just close down Report Builder. Go back to the Report Manager. I need to refresh this page, because it doesn't know that I've uploaded it yet. But when I do, I actually finally have something on the page to look at. Now there is a bunch of options in the drop-down such as Delete, Subscribe, View Report History, Manage, Security, Edit in Report Builder. But I could just click the hyperlink itself. Customer Totals. Click that and notice that within the web site, it opens it up. It retrieves that information.
It gives us options up here to print it, to even select from this, to allow us to export it in CSVs and PDFs and Word files. We've got the ability to zoom in a little bit, and just start it do some basic interaction with that report. So while we can take our reports a lot deeper than that, we can add parameters to them, we can add more formatting, this is the general process for creating and saving a new report using Report Builder 3.0.

You'd be dead wrong if you thought Bay Street lawyers, bankers, and yes, even regulators, have simply learned to accept the confusion around Canada's foreign takeover rules.
After the Globe pointed out this week that the federal government has pretty much closed the file, dealmakers are talking, and the lack of clear guidelines is dominating discussion.
Just ask Marianne Harris, president of corporate and investment banking for the Canadian office of Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Whenever a foreign bidder approaches her firm, she knows "the first thing we're going to have to do is explain how the net benefit test works," she said on a breakfast panel hosted by Torys LLP on Wednesday, "and I have no idea."
You can go through precedent transactions all you want and you can survey the political climate for months, she said, but you never quite know what you're going to get.
Howard Wetston, chair of the Ontario Securities Commission, also chimed in. "There's no question in my mind that it is the responsibility of governments... to provide as much clarity as possible," he said. However, he added that his comments were general, rather than specifically targeted towards the 'net benefit' rules.
And then there was Michael Wilson, chairman of Barclays Capital Canada and former ambassador of Canada to the United States, who said he disagreed with the decision and noted it is vital to have clear guidelines.
As for whether big foreign takeovers should be allowed, on principle, the panel's responses were mixed. Michael Nobrega, chief executive officer, clearly stated he was in favour of foreign money coming into Canada, especially because OMERS invests so much money abroad. His main point: giving a foreign firm ownership of our assets doesn't mean we can't slap major duties or fees on extraction to make sure Canada still benefits.
"We do have laws," he said. "We can tax these things to death."
Fellow panelist Gerry Schwartz of Onex had more mixed feelings. "I don't disagree with anything Michael said intellectually, but I do emotionally," he said.
Mr. Schwartz said head offices mean something in a small country like Canada. Economic factors, or taxes, are only part of the equation. National pride and decision making also weigh in.Report Typo/Error

So my 6 year old has expressed an intrest in running and compleated her first 1k this weekend (6:30). She wants to do a 5k next spring and she is already to run 2k in practice without stopping (she couold have gone further but I cut her off at 2). My main concern though is over training her. I'm afraid that she will push herself to far and get injured. I'm going to limit her to the 10% rule, but I would love some suggestions to make sure that she trains smart and does not get injured.
Wow! Its pretty rare to find a child that young getting so into running that she has already set a goal for herself. I HAVE seen 8 and 9 year olds at that level and they went on to become good runners in High School. My 2 older boys ran their 1st 5k at 8 and 9 years old. That being said, you may consider keeping her at the 5k distance for a while and perhaps setting a distance limit that slowly rises as she grows. Just an idea that I used with my kids. It kept a goal in front of them. I think the most important thing is to remember that YOU have to create the balance for her and it appears that is what you are already doing.
Best of luck to you both and keep us posted on your progress!

Do the campaign modifiers, such as regenerating health or invincible enemies, affect your score? It seems strange to include modifiers in the canned campaigns if they don't. I get why they would exist in a sandbox environment, but not here.
They don't, no. The trick is that you have to use every modifier by the end of the campaign; part of scoring 9/9 on the campaigns is knowing when to use what modifier where.
I imagine they exist because the campaigns are made up of the individual scenarios, and stringing three together doesn't really make the campaign feel much different.

There's been a lot of talk about fire mitigation in recent weeks as the Waldo Canyon fire raged in El Paso and Teller counties.
As the fire grew dangerously close to the Cedar Heights subdivision, located near the Highway 24 entrance to Garden of the Gods park, firefighters told 11 News the extensive mitigation the subdivision had conducted over the years was playing a huge role in protecting the homes.
Now, the state of Colorado is one step closer to allowing more mitigation on federal land.
Wednesday, the House Committee on Agriculture approved a five-year farm bill with provisions that would allow the removal of trees and reduction of fuels on federal land if it's needed. The bill has also been approved by the Senate.
The bill is now headed to the House for consideration.
Gov. John Hickenlooper has spoken out in favor of the mitigation provisions, saying that they "would be very helpful in addressing the forest conditions that lead to catastrophic wildfires." He has implored Congress to keep those provisions in the bill.

ss, and other shenanigan s in rebuilding - an anecdote
11-15-2012 07:27 PM - edited 11-15-2012 07:29 PM
Does anyone have some solid contact info for Comenity/WFNNB as far as GW purposes go?
I'd like to see if I can be as convincing to them for an old DressBarn account I opened for my ex-wife during the first marriage.
I sent them a letter via fax, but I have a feeling it might have found its way into the "Pfft, really?" bin. If I were to get these cats to flatline the history, I'd
be in the proverbial high cotton (couple of 60s dancing about and blowing spitballs everywhere).
Also, in the "sweet deal" section of things, I got an e-mail from Merrick's customer service today. They amped my limit up by another $300 to a very
nice $1500. That's the second bump in six months!
Primary goal: FHA 1st-timer's minimum of 620 across the board ASAP
End game: mid 700s across the board at some point in the next couple of years

I had surgery when woke up I felt like I only had 20% energy & felt extremely tired. Is this a common sensation? Why do people feel so tired after surgery?
Answers in comments are correct. The tail effect of hypnotic drugs combined to opiates given for pain relief will make you feel really tired just after surgery.
But if you are referring to a more long-term effect, such as feeling tired for several days after surgery, then several factors combine:
