Is raw milk an elixir of health and taut-skinned beauty or a carrier of disease and a recipe for a bad tummy? The jury is out, but one thing is for sure: devotees of the milk, which doesn't undergo the usual bacteria-zapping 15-second blast of 72C heat, won't be able to buy it in Selfridges for the time being.
Ewan Venters, the food and restaurants director at Selfridges, said the grocery chain had decided to "temporarily cease the sale of raw milk" at the concession the store ran with a Sussex dairy farmer, Steve Hook, owing to a new Food Standards Agency investigation into its effect on health. Hardly a surprise to rawies, as it was widely known that the store and Hook had been put on notice that they both risked prosecution if they carried on selling the in-demand drink.
The reason? Untreated milk has a chequered past. Historically it has been linked to the spread of TB and the Government stills warns that drinking it is a short cut to picking up salmonella, campylobacter and E.coli. The latter fear prompted the Scottish government to ban it outright in 1983.
In England it is legal to buy directly from farmers at markets. In London, primarily middle-class punters prize it for its high concentration of vitamins, enzymes and proboscis and have been loud in their support for the department store's initiative. But until the FSA reports, it's back to heading out to the Home Counties for a weekly pinta.

Guerin Rife 2 Bar Mallet Putter Included with the 2 Bar Putter is a Speed Weight Kit, Headcover, Lie Adjustment Tool, & Instructional DVD. No matter what your handicap or personal preference the Two Bar putter has what your looking for. Whether its the patented RollGroove Technology which produces the truest no skid roll in golf , the 4-Point Stability Weighting that creates a high moment of inertia and an extra large sweet spot, the fully self adjustable lie angle and weight features or the built in alignment aids- the Two Bar is your answer! True Forward Roll Soft Feel More Forgiving Distance Control Conventional putter having 3 to 5 degrees of loft, hit the ball off the ground with a slight back roll. As the ball lands it skids across the putting surface before changing its back roll to forward roll. During this "skid zone" the grass grain interacts with the ball's dimpled surface and alters its direction and speed. Guerin Rife putters have RollGroove Technology�. At impact the narrow space between the grooves grips and carries the ball forward slightly off the putting surface. Because there is only 1 degree of loft, the ball starts its forward rotation while in the air allowing it to continue rolling with out skidding. Eliminating skid reduces the effects of grass grain for a more consistent roll. Click Here to see video footage of the 2 Bar Putter from Guerin Rife compared to other popular putters. 4 Point Weighting System Heel/ Toe Weighting Parallel Rear-Weighted Bars Combining Heel/toe Weighting & Parallel Rear-Weighted Bars The Lie Aline Fitting System The Lie Aline Fitting System will teach you to automatically setup to every putt in your same natural setup position by providing instant feedback. The very subtle vertical notch, located on the back edge of the top line, will guide you into your correct setup position giving you the greatest chance of producing a consistent and repeatable stroke path. Simply take your normal and comfortable address position and look down the vertical notch. If you see the entire white sight line then your Two Bar putter is setup perfectly for you. If you do not see the entire line then the putter is either too upright or too flat for your natural setup. To make the necessary adjustments use the simple instructions on the LieAline Bending tool and/or follow the instructions detailed in the "Technique of Champions" DVD, both of which are included with every putter. Once you see the entire line through the vertical notch you are guaranteed to setup in the same position every time. Adjustments take just seconds! The goal is to allow you to adjust the putter to your natural stance instead of adjusting your setup to fit the putter. Why is the right lie angle important? Adjustable Speed Weighting Customized Feel Varying configurations If you have any questions about this product or would like to order by phone, please call us Toll Free at 888-733-8383.

Auto-Increment a Number in a New List Item
April 11, 2008 at 12:15 pm 15 comments
The Problem
The web application I am designing requires several different auto-incrementing numbers. The customer account numbers, support ticket numbers, etc. must auto-matically increment when a new item is created. A quick web search will show a lot of people recommending the ID field (created by SharePoint) as the solution.
Disclaimer: I found this idea on a website or forum somewhere. I can't locate the original source. If anyone knows the author of the original concept, let me know so I can give them credit and link to them.
Edit: Here is a link to the original forum post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2232817&SiteID=1
I had two problems with this solution:
- The number needs to start at 1000 not 1.
- I need to be able to reset the number or change it if needed without loosing the existing data.
Other considerations:
- Users can't change the number.
- The number has to be unique.
The solution I found seems to meet all of my criteria. This process is still in the design stage and has not been tested by users.
The Theory
A user creates a new item in a list. The system looks up a table of numbers and assigns the next available number to the new item. The system then updates the table of numbers.
In Practice
NOTE: I don't use spaces in my list or column names and then I change the labels in the actual forms (I'll explain that in a future post)
- Start by creating a custom list. I called mine "SystemCounters". This list will store all of the counters for my site.
- Create a column called "Counter", column type: Single Line of Text.
- Create a column called "LastNumber", column type: Number. Configure the column settings as Required and having 0 decimal places.
- Create a column called "NextNumber", column type: Calculated. Configure the column settings as Formula: "=LastNumber+1" (without the quotes), Data type returned as: Number, and having 0 decimal places.
- Configure other list settings as needed. I like to disable attachments and make sure the list is not included in searches (advanced settings).
- Open the list and create some new items. I created a new item as ClientID and set the LastNumber to 999.
You now have a table which will hold as many counters as you would like. You can create counters for almost any list, for example create a counter for issue numbers or support tickets.
How do you use the new counters?
Putting the counters into play will require that you have access to SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio. If you are attempting to create a web application without one of those two programs, you are in for a lot of pain and suffering. SharePoint Designer (SPD) will allow you to easily create workflows and edit forms for your application. I highly recommend the investment in purchasing the license.
- Create a new custom list. For this example, we will create a list to track new clients. NOTE: if you create the list as a Contact list you will be able to easily sync it up with Outlook.
- Create a new column called "ClientID", column type: Single Line of Text or Number.
- Create the rest of the columns you need to track for new clients. For example you could create FirstName, LastName, Company, etc.
- Open SPD and create a new workflow. Set the workflow to run in the Client Database and run everytime something is created.
- Create a variable for the Client ID Number.
- Set the workflow to populate the new variable with the contents of the NextNumber field from the SystemCounters list, where the Counter Name equals ClientID. NOTE: I have summarized this into one line of text, but it could be very complicated to new users. I would recommend reading the online help tutorial for creating workflows. I will try to create an article on workflow design in the future.
- Tell the workflow to set the ClientID on the current item to equal the Client ID variable.
- Now tell the workflow to set the LastNumber field in the SystemCounter list to equal the Client ID variable.
- Save the workflow and we are rocking!
What happens?
NOTE: Personally, I use SPD to open the new item form for the Client Data list and set the Client ID field to type of label (or remove it completely). This prevents users from entering their own numbers in the Client ID field. Any number they entered would be overwritten by your workflow, but it will save you support emails like: "Where is my customer numbered 9999?"
When a new client is added to the database (list), the user enters the name and contact info and clicks save. The workflow kicks into action when the new item is created. It looks up the NextNumber field in the System Counters and finds the number 1000 (LastNumber was 999, NextNumber is LastNumber+1). It sets the variable to be 1000 and then populates the ClientID on the new item to be 1000. The workflow now sets the LastNumber in the SystemCounters to be 1000, which makes the NextNumber field automatically recalculate to 1001.
You now have a fully functioning Counter system and Auto-Incrementing number.
Those of you who pay attention might have realised that this doesn't guarantee that the Client Database contains only unique numbers. I could create a client with a ClientID of 1000, set the counter back manually, and create another client with a ClientID of 1000. I'll show you how I tackled that in another post.
Thanks for reading.

This approach doesn't work on document library, it compains document checked out although i have versioning turned off
LastNumber set to 9999 or 999? According to my math 9999+1 = 10000 not 1000. Or is there some programatical reason for 9999?
Sorry about that, the number should be 999. I've updated the topic. Thanks for catching it!!
Nice post!! Thank you..works great.
I cannot get the workflow set up. Can you explain the steps of the workflow please? When I want to set the variable to be the [nextNumber] i must specify a value instead of that the workflow will automatically get the value of that column.
Thanks a lot.
Hi Kevin,
This should be a pretty straightforward setup but I can understand the frustrations. I just don't think I understand your question. When you set the variable [nextNumber] it should get it's value from the counter list you have created.
If you are stuck, email me directly sanjman [at] msn [dot] com.
Good Luck!
I need to increment a counter in a sharepoint list item when I submit an InfoPath 2003 document into a form library. Requirement is somewhat similar to your updating a "next value" in a list, but how can I do this from the "code-behind" of my InfoPath 2003 form?I already pull the counter value into my code-behind from a custom "environment variable" SP List. And I increment an internal value in the C#. But how do I update the SP List item?
My requirement is merely to keep track how many total submits to a form library under certain conditions. Many different documents in the library with each possibly being submitted multiple times. Many different conditions.
Seems like a good place to keep the counters is in SP List items.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
What did you do to ensure that no two(or more) users simultaneously populated their variable at the same time? (Step 6)
I work for a small company and up until recently I haven't had any situations where two items could be created at the same time. However, this just happened in my program using a workflow. It created multiple items in a list and some ended up with the same id number.
Because I can predict the workflows occurrence, I was able to configure it to loop through the items and apply the id when it was completed. So create a batch of items in a list, get the nextNumber, increment through the list and update the ids, set the LastNumber in the counter.
If I was in a situation where multiple users might create something at exactly the same time, you may need to use the built in ID field. In that case, you should also create another field call ItemID (whatever name you want) and have your workflow set the ItemID to equal the list item ID field. This will help is the future when you need to do lookups or comparisons using the ID number.
I'll try to post some steps, if I ever have any free time.
Did you ever get round to producing an article on workflow design for this routine you setup?
I am and newby and I too need to know the step by step instructions. I can get this to work for me. I know I'm missing something.
I can't get it to work for me I mean
I'm trying this approach on a document library and i'm always getting "List Item not found" under the "outcome" colum when i try to run the workflow.
Does any one have a fix for incrementing library objects?
Thank you!
I used a similar technique but kept the new number in a separate list so that the average end user didn't have direct access to it.

When they visit Aunt Lucy in the nursing home, she tells them that in her youth, she was wrongly accused of having the field guide and warns them to leave the house and get rid of the book, lest they become harassed and charmed like she has been. The Grace kids suddenly realize that their treasured book has been stolen, and after they find a map in Uncle Arthur's library, they come face to face with elves who almost capture Jared and hint that Uncle Arthur may still be alive. The ironwood tree: When the Grace children and their mom attend Mallory's fencing competition, Jared spies an odd-looking fellow rooting through Mallory's duffel bag. The problem is, the thief looks just like Jared himself, and when the boy confronts his mysterious double with a knife, iron is known to repel faeries, the "Not-Jared" disappears and Jared winds up almost expelled from school. But when Mallory disappears, a trip to the quarry results in a harrowing meeting with dwarves, a run-in with a googly-eyed "knocker," a scheme to rescue their sister from a strange sleep, and finally, a startling fight over the book. All may look hopeless for the Grace kids, but thankfully, help is right at home. |

The sushi pic is my fav. Have you been to RAW?
I went with the Chef. Good sushi but Wa still my fav.
See you later...glad you are back and if no one has told you this,
you were the best Galway Food Festival Blogger ever!Ah, there you are, and those are very entertaining posts of yours over there. What a happy gala occasion the Nutmeg Feast sounds like, and I have my eye now on the make your own lunch children's thing going on at the House Hotel.
ReplyDeleteRepliesDo indeed shuffle along if you can drag yourself away from Blogtopia Mise. It is very jolly and while the children took most of the pizza course to thaw out by the time ice-cream and chocolate sauce were introduced they were in the swing of things.
Bring some moist towelettes as there are many fabulous cushions in the House Hotel that need protection.
Where did you get sushi like that in Galway? It looks amazing, and I'm always missing proper sushi here. I've yet to visit RAW (is it open yet?) but I'm keen to get there.
As always, your pics have me drooling...RepliesWa Cafe down on New Dock Street. They do great bento boxes and take away as well.
RAW is open - and is exactly that raw. So if you have any squeamish people with you there are no cooked options. Also it is on the forth floor of the hotel and a bit of a kerfuffle to get to. It's a bit pricy too.
You can read all about Wa Cafe here.

The second of two sisters accused of starving their disabled brother to death is working on a plea deal with Lackawanna County prosecutors, according to documents filed Tuesday by her attorney.
Matthew Comerford, attorney for Joan Gensiak, filed a motion seeking a 30-day extension to file pretrial motions, noting the filing may not be necessary as he continues to engage in plea negotiations.
If successful, Joan Gensiak, 35, would join her sister, Rebekah, 25, in reaching a plea agreement that would resolve what prosecutors say is one of the most horrific cases of abuse they have ever seen.
Police charged Joan and Rebekah Gensiak and their mother, Susan Gensiak, 59, in June with third-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and neglect of a dependent person in connection with the death of 32-year-old Robert Gensiak, who had Down syndrome. Mr. Gensiak, the son of Susan and brother to Joan and Rebekah, died March 20 from an infection caused by untreated scabies - a severe skin rash that covered most of his body. He was also severely malnourished, weighing just 69 pounds at death, and was infested with lice.
Prosecutors say the women left Mr. Gensiak confined to a child-sized bed, covered in feces, in his room at their Williams Street home in Taylor. They knew he was covered in open sores, some of which were so deep his bone was visible, but failed to call for medical assistance until it was too late.
Rebekah Gensiak reached a plea deal with prosecutors in September that calls for her to plead guilty to neglect of a dependent person. The other charges were dropped in exchange for her agreement to testify against Joan and Susan.
It was not clear Tuesday if the proposed plea deal with Joan Gensiak would require her to testify against her mother, or if Susan Gensiak also seeks a plea agreement. Mr. Comerford could not be reached for comment regarding the terms of the deal he is negotiating. Attempts to reach Susan Gensiak's attorneys, Jamie Dench and Tom Cummings of Dunmore, and the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Suzanne Tierney, were also unsuccessful.
Joan and Susan Gensiak have been in prison since their arrest. The women in December sought a reduction in bail, but the request was denied by judge Margaret Bisignani Moyle.

Northamptonshire County Council is blocking access to payday loan websites at the county's libraries following an approach made by the county's Citizens Advice Bureau service.
Instead, library staff will refer customers to providers of independent advice and to credit unions.
The move was prompted by Central and East Northamptonshire Citizens Advice Bureau's recent acquisition of flagship Consumer Empowerment Partnership lead status – enabling it to work across the region, to educate consumers and improve enforcement where traders break the law, an initiative which will involve it working with trading standards departments around the region.
"We've obviously been aware for a number of years about the pernicious and growing problem of payday loans" said Martin Lord, Chief Executive of Central and East Northamptonshire Citizens Advice Bureau.
"These companies operate a business model which depends to some extent on advertising their products on the internet, and with interest rates as high as 5000% we are obviously keen for a very clear message to be sent out to consumers about the dangers of these loans. This is a very welcome move by the library service."
The Citizens Advice Bureau service nationally has been campaigning to bring in tighter regulation of the sector and warns that with a blizzard of benefit changes coming up, people will turn to payday lenders in increasing numbers.
"They provide a short term fix, but in the long term, our experience has been that taking out a payday loan almost always makes things worse" said Mr Lord.
"We'd encourage anyone with the sort of financial difficulties that drives people to these loans, to take independent advice in the first instance, and would also encourage people to consider using credit unions as an alternative. There is also a lot of information and support available online on our website."
Councillor Heather Smith, county council deputy leader and cabinet member for customer services said: "These are tough times for many people and although a payday loan might seem like a good solution, their extremely high interest rates mean it is often the beginning of a huge debt that will only cause more stress and financial problems in the long run.
"It makes good sense for the library service to do what it can to protect people and discourage them from accessing these websites, and instead point them to where they can get independent advice and information."

PHP MySQL tutorial - Connecting to MySQL
In this PHP MySQL tutorial I will show you how to use basic database manipulation features in PHP.

Step 2 - Connecting to MySQL
PHP MySQL tutorial
To use any database in PHP - and in other programming languages as well - you first need to connect to the database server. Connecting to a MySQL database in PHP requires some information. You need to get the following data to establish the connection:
- hostname
- database username
- password
- database name
Connecting to a database first you need to connect to the MySQL database server and in the next step you need to select the required database. Of course if the connection to the server failed then it makes no sense to continue the script so we can exit. Let's see how it looks like in PHP:
As you can see the mysql_connect() function establish the connection to the MySQL server and as next step we can select the database with mysql_select_db() function. If you execute the script the output should be the following:
Code:Connection to the server was successful! Database was selected!
Closing the connection
Before we go on I want to mention the opposite site as well. I mean closing a database connection. From PHP 4 you don't really need to close a database connection opened the way above. This is done automatically by the PHP garbage collector. However it makes no problem if you add the closing statement to your code. You can close a MySQL database connection calling the function mysql_close(). This function closes the actual database connection.

The D.C. Council is considering a law requiring property owners to clear adjacent public sidewalks of snow within eight daylight hours after a snowfall has stopped.
The old law requires offenders to go to court. The new law would fine homeowners $25 and businesses $125 per occurence.
The bill had its first reading Wednesday.
It still needs to go through the amendment process, and more changes could be made before it is signed into law.
Any changes likely will be made after this winter.

- How to Read a Study Record
Epilepsy is a disorder in the brain. The brain is full of "nerve" cells. Nerve cells have normal electrical activity to control the many functions of the body. Sometimes nerve cells do not function normally due to many different reasons such as disease, an injury or because the brain didn't develop normally at birth. When nerve cells do not function normally the electrical activity that controls things like muscles and body movement can get mixed up and cause seizures. When a seizure occurs, sometimes a person loses control of body movement, and/or bodily functions. When a seizure occurs, a person may become unconscious, and/or senses may be affected. Seizures can occur at any time, without warning, and can lead to many health problems.
"Catamenial epilepsy" is specific form of epilepsy in women. It is closely related to the menstrual cycle. In this form of epilepsy seizures increase around the menstrual period.
By doing this study, researchers hope to learn whether Keishibukuryogan add-on therapy with antiepileptic drugs is safe for women with epilepsy.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Epilepsy |
Drug: AED treatment plus placebo Drug: Keishibukuryogan |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Keishibukuryogan (Japanese Herbal Supplement) for the Adjunctive Treatment of Catamenial Epilepsy in Adult: Safety Study |
- To determine if Keishibukuryogan is safe for WWE [ Time Frame: up to 36 weeks ]Keishibukuryogan is commonly used in Japan, but has not been formally studied in people with epilepsy. This study is designed to determine if KBG is safe to use in women with epilepsy (no increase of seizure and no adverse reactions).
- To determine if KBG changes seizure frequency in WWE, with a focus on increases in seizure frequency. [ Time Frame: up to 36 weeks ]Based on the basic animal data, KBG has antiepileptic properties and may be beneficial for WWE.
- To determine if KBG alters progesterone levels in WWE. [ Time Frame: up to 36 weeks ]Based on the basic animal data, KBG altered serum progesterone level. Therefore, we would like to examine how KBG affects serum progesterone level.
Estimated Enrollment: | 17 |
Study Start Date: | February 2011 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 2012 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | December 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Active Comparator: AED treatment plus placebo |
Drug: AED treatment plus placebo
Your usual AED(s) treatment with placebo for 12 weeks followed by 4 weeks washout period, and then Keishibukuryogan, (2.5 g of granulate filled in capsules) three times a day for a total of 7.5 g a day with your usual AED(s) treatment for 12 weeks.
Experimental: Keishibukuryogan |
Drug: Keishibukuryogan
Keishibukuryogan, (2.5 g of granulate filled in capsules) three times a day for a total of 7.5 g a day with your usual AED(s) for 12 weeks followed by 4 weeks washout period, and then your usual AED(s) treatment with placebo for 12 weeks.
Detailed Description:
It is known that the female hormone levels in epilepsy patients are different from healthy women. These hormonal differences may be part of the cause of catamenial epilepsy. It is estimated that at least 1 in every 3 women with epilepsy have catamenial epilepsy. Although many antiepileptic drugs are available, it is very difficult to control these seizures. In the past, studies using antiepileptic drugs and hormonal agents were done to treat catamenial epilepsy. However, those medications did not work well and caused side effects.
Keishibukuryogan is a traditional Japanese herbal medication. It is made of 5 natural herbs (cinnamon bark, hoelen, moutan bark, peony root, and peach kernel). It is used to treat disorders in women like menopause and menstrual cycle problems. This is the first study to examine the safety of Keishibukuryogan in women with epilepsy. As such, Keishibukuryogan and your current antiepileptic drug(s) will be given to you during the study.
Keishibukuryogan is a dietary supplement in the United States. It can be bought without a prescription. The safety and efficacy of Keishibukuryogan has not been studied in epilepsy. However, it has been used safely in Japan and other Asian countries for years.

The home side got their defence of the title to the worst possible start when losing 28-17 to a much improved Wales side.
The Kiwis were handicapped by having Tomasi Cama sent off in the second minute for punching Rhodri McAtee before skipper DJ Forbes was sent to the sin bin. The Welsh made their superior numbers count but the underdogs fully deserved their victory.
The Kiwis opened the scoring through Nafi Tuitavake but McAtee responded with two touchdowns before the Welsh cut loose to score further tries by Aled Brew, Tal Selley and Rhys Webb swept the rampant Welsh to a 28-5 lead.
New Zealand reduced the lead with a try by Viliame Waqaseduadua but by then it was too little too late.
Wales followed their shock victory with a 24-15 defeat to Australia in their second pool game but guaranteed a quarter-final slot against Kenya when beating minnows Niue 34-10 who had nearly pulled off a shock themselves when restricting the Aussies to a narrow 22-17 victory.
Fiji also suffered a major shock on the opening day with a defeat to the fast-improving USA.
The Americans recorded two victories in the day to confirm their place in a second successive Series Cup quarter final.

Zounds! A Lemon posset with passionfruit!
Don't you love the word 'posset'?
posset (noun). A posset (also spelled poshote, poshotte) was a British hot drink of milk curdled with wine or ale, often spiced, which was popular from medieval times to the 19th century. The word is mainly used nowadays for a related dessert similar to syllabub. source: wikipedia
'Posset' has such an olde worlde, medieval ring to it. It ranks up there with "odds bodkins", "the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true", "mead", and "trifle not with me, mi'lady!" as classic words and phrases from the Galahad/Lancelot/Guinevere era. Bring back jousting, I say!
Well, maybe not jousting and jesters. Let's just start with a lovely lemon posset. It's like a smooth, creamy lemon mousse, and it's made with just 3 ingredients. Perfect to languidly lick from a spoon while waiting for your knight in shining armour to gallop up and liberate you from your life of serf-itude.
Lemon posset with passionfruit
serves 4
300ml thickened cream
90g caster sugar
70ml lemon juice
2 passionfruit, to serve
1. Put the cream and caster sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally.
2. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring, until the mixture thickens.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Cool in the saucepan for 30 minutes, then strain into serving glasses. Cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
4. Spoon the pulp from the passionfruit over the possets before serving.
Ingredients - all you need is cream, sugar and lemon juice.
Simmer the cream and sugar in a saucepan, then add the lemon juice and strain into glasses.
This recipe serves 4, but I made it for 2 - more for each lucky person!
The possets can be topped with any fruit, like the tangy passionfruit and blueberries here.
Hey nonny nonny, come hither and try this posset. Tis verily splendid!
[And avoid the vessel with the pestle]

Cat Scratch Fever: A Pre-ScarJo Maggie Retrospective
Bethany Rickwald, Hayley Levitt, Sarah Moore • New York City • Jan 15, 2013
For nearly six decades, the world has been infected with Cat Scratch Fever, a condition that causes every actress--Southern, Yankee or otherwise--to lust over the sex-starved role of Maggie the Cat in Tennessee Williams' classic and oft-revived drama Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. With its meaty first-act monologues, oppressive summer plantation setting, and stage directions that all but command Maggie spend the night slinking around her bedroom begging for attention in a satin slip, it's easily one of the hottest roles in the history of theater. From Barbara Bel Geddes to Elizabeth Taylor, and from Ashley Judd to the Richard Rodgers Theatre's current star, Scarlett Johansson, we present to you the elite club of Maggies in all their lustful, lonely glory. How does Scarlett Johansson's nightie shot measure up to the slip pics of classic beauty Natalie Wood or Broadway's smoldering Anika Noni Rose? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Repsol Successfully Completes Capital Increase in Brazil, Subscribed in its Entirety by Sinopec
Repsol and Sinopec today successfully closed the agreement reached in October to jointly develop the exploration and production of its Brazil offshore assets and to create one of the Latin America's largest private energy companies.
After obtaining the necessary authorizations from the authorities of the People's Republic of China, Sinopec has subscribed in its entirety for a capital increase of Repsol Brazil of $7.1 billion, which has resulted in a company valued at $17.8 billion. After completing this transaction in the shareholders' meeting held today in Rio de Janeiro, Repsol holds 60% of the shares of Repsol Brazil while Sinopec holds the remaining 40%. These shareholdings are reflected in the composition of the Board of Directors of the company, made up by 10 members and chaired by Nemesio Fernandez-Cuesta, Repsol YPF's Executive Managing Director of Upstream.
Both companies have signed a shareholders' agreement to jointly develop the current exploration and production businesses in Brazil, bringing together the necessary resources and sharing certain operational and financial strategic decisions.
In order to determine the results of this transaction in its consolidated financial statements, Repsol has applied the criteria laid out in NIC 31. This has resulted in a capital gain of $3.8 billion corresponding to 40% of the value assigned to Repsol's assets in Brazil, after reducing their book value.
The injection of funds by Sinopec in this transaction will allow Repsol Sinopec Brazil to fully develop all of its current projects, which include some of the world's largest exploratory discoveries in recent years. Brazil's Offshore boasts one of the world's fastest-growing oil and gas reserves.
The agreement between Repsol and Sinopec highlights the enormous international interest in the pre-salt exploration and production activity led by Petrobras, where Repsol Brazil has a very high profile due to the quality of its assets in that area.
Both Repsol and Sinopec will continue their expansion plans in Brazil and will participate, jointly or independently, in future bids in Brazil.
Antonio Brufau said, "This agreement becomes a milestone in the development of Repsol's exploratory strategy and is a good value reflection of our commitment in Brazil, with a great industrial partner as is Sinopec".

There was definitely truth in this satire. All good satire is based in fact. The encampment in Zuccotti was rife with problems, divisions, attitudes and extremes. Just like the real world. At the same time - it also was a place of compassion, patience, support, and creative vitality. I already miss the energy of the density of that community despite all of it's flaws. But after rallying with over 30,000 people yesterday - and being liberated from the time consuming management of Zuccotti Square - I welcome phase two of Occupy Wall Street.

Varying reports over the "thousands" of protesters:
Over on the CBS Evening News, Jim Axelrod noted how though "organizers promised tens of thousands demonstrators disrupting business as usual here in New York," they didn't show up: "Frankly, we've seen a fraction of that number -- closer to a thousand." NBC came in somewhere in between with anchor Brian Williams touting "thousands on the move" and reporter Mike Taibbi acknowledging "the Occupy Wall Street movement had promised huge crowds for its day of action," then asserting "that prediction finally looked realistic a short time ago. Now some 5,000 protesters, union members and supporters are gathered in Foley Square." smug moral posturing & virtue signaling? nope... |

cryptic projection? who can say... bud - That video is indeed an idealistic and hopeful take on the Occupy movement. In a perfect world the speaker's sentiments might hold sway. My concern is that it is the small yet more radical/Machiavellian parties that are steering and defining these protests, motivated not by love, but by hatred for our current system of government and the desire to disrupt individuals' rights to participate in free markets, public travel, free assembly, access to their places of employment, as well as the destruction of property all in the name of free speech and the righteous cause. I do agree there is much that needs addressing and changing. Yet I think history teaches that justifying any means (I'm not saying you personally are doing this) by even the best of ends can lead to the slippery slope of anarchy.

BP Comment Quick Links
June 15, 2010 Fantasy BeatHot Spots: Catcher, Second Base, and Shortstop
The Changes Value Picks again makes one change for the week, as long-time VP member Ian Desmond graduates past the 20% ownership mark in ESPN mixed leagues and moves on in terms of value. Desmond maintained his slash line during the week, keeping his AVG above .270. With a believable .315 BABIP, you should expect to see that AVG stick throughout the season. And while Desmond will never be confused with Nick Johnson in terms of plate discipline, he's made for that a bit with his decent pop. Desmond ranks third among NL shortstops in RBI (33) and fifth in ISO (.143), so owners are getting decent value right now. While Jhonny Peralta still remains below the ownership threshold in ESPN mixed leagues, it is likely that most readers of Fantasy Beat are more than aware of Peralta's value as an average hitter in the hitting-poor shortstop position. As a result, he'll "graduate" with the caveat that he remains a solid choice for AL leagues. First up, replacing Desmond on the list is a former top prospect with the Pittsburgh Pirates who, in recent seasons, has fallen on hard times. Neil Walker was once a first round draft pick and a prized prospect for Pittsburgh, starting off as a decent hitting catcher in the minors. However in 2007, after injuries and defensive ineffectiveness moved him out from behind the plate and to third base, the luster began to fall off. Walker had a miserable campaign in his first tour in Triple-A, batting just .242/.285/.414 (.231 TAv based on his Eq slash line). His plate discipline was awful, as he walked just 29 times in over 500 PA. In addition, with the rise of 2008 first-rounder Pedro Alvarez and the presence of former prospect Andy LaRoche in the majors, Walker's future at third base seemed murky as well. However, Walker's subsequent stints in Triple-A did not end as badly. He put up a .264/.311/.480 slash line (.266 TAv) in 2009 andin 2010 he raked, batting .321/.392/.560 and displaying more plate discipline (10.0% UIBB%) than he had ever shown. His performance, combined with the absolute fallout of Akinori Iwamura at second, prompted the Pirates to give Walker a look at the keystone. So far this season, he has not disappointed, batting .286/.342/.429 (.279 TAv). The AVG is supported by a high .339 BABIP, compared to his minor league career mark of .302. However, even at a decent .260-ish AVG, Walker can still be valuable due to his power. PECOTA projects another nine home runs for the year in 353 PA, putting him at double digits for the (short) season. None of the major projection systems think his walk rate will be all that impressive (PECOTA projects a 7.2% rate in its weighted means line), and hitting at the bottom of the Pirates' order (3.2 R/G) isn't helping in the runs category either, but you would be hard-pressed to find an available second baseman who could hit with the kind of projected power Walker has and maintain a passable AVG. Walker is taken in only 4.2% of ESPN mixed leagues and, given his playing time (projected 90% of the 2B PA according to Heater expert Matt Bandi), is a good pick for NL-only leagues. Sean Rodriguez makes the AL side of Value Picks an all-Tampa affair, and with good reason. The Rays, despite a bit of a slide, are still quite potent offensively, and as R.J. Anderson pointed out yesterday, Rodriguez may be one of the most interesting players in that lineup. Right now, his stellar .288/.328/.472 line is a mirage; Rodriguez has struck out in 30.6% of his PA and has an unsustainable .400 BABIP to support that AVG. Rodriguez has only made contact on 72% of pitches he has swung at, and with an average approach at the plate, this will lead to continued strikeout issues and a significantly lower AVG. However, his plate discipline in the minors has always been stellar (11.0% UIBB%) and you would expect that to translate to some degree at the major league level. In addition, Rodriguez' calling card of power has already been on display so far this year. His current .184 ISO is right in line with PECOTA's projection in Tampa (.187 ISO), and his HR/FB% of 12.1% does not seem anomalous for an above average power hitter. Rodriguez can also supply the speed on the basepaths, having stolen over 100 bags in the minors in his career. Before the season, Hot Spots had an eye on Rodriguez, claiming that even in part-time play, his power numbers and counting stats would be good if you could handle his AVG. Heater expert Ricky Zanker has Rodriguez playing full-time for the Rays, split between second base and right field, until Jason Bartlett returns from injury. If you can withstand a .230-.240 AVG, expect good things from Rodriguez. The Incumbents The remaining players on Value Picks have some semblance of playing time and performance stability right now. John Jaso and Reid Brignac are slowly regressing to the mean after their hot starts, but with their current full-tome gigs, they remain solid plays in AL-only leagues. Similarly, Ronny Paulino remains the man behind the plate for Florida, as John Baker suffered a setback in his rehab stint and remains unavailable to the major league team. Paulino's AVG should regress down to his norm of .260-.270, but expect a better power output going forward. Felipe Lopez had an average week and maintained his spot. Despite the solid week, he did not rack up the counting stats, picking up only two runs and two RBI amidst a poor week for the Cardinal's offense.

Procrastination is a thief, continually robbing me of those wonderfully rewarding words, "Job well done!" Of course, others are continually robbed of receiving my work on time. Procrastination has stolen my confidence, my integrity, and my peace. Now, the cry of my heart is, "Lord, please show me how to prevent this destructive decay of delay. Oh, Master, teach me how to faithfully manage my time!"
"Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns." (Luke 12:42-43)
"Is there a difference between procrastination and laziness?"
Many people assume that procrastinators are always lazy; however, laziness is just one of the causes of procrastination. If you are lazy, you are negligent in handling your responsibilities because of your not choosing to do what you need to do. On the other hand, you may be highly productive and in no way lazy, but still procrastinate by simply failing to start a task on time. One procrastinator has the desire to work and yet delays—the other lacks the desire to work and then refuses.
"The sluggard's craving will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work." (Proverbs 21:25)
What God Says
"A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it." (Proverbs 22:3)
"He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding." Proverbs 15:32
"And say: "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised correction!" Proverbs 5:12
"There are those who rebel against the light; They do not know its ways Nor abide in its paths." Job 24:13

Whities has turned out high quality house and techno since launching early last year. The Young Turks offshoot has already dropped in demand releases from Kowton and Terron, and continues the trend with their fourth installment. This time around the label taps Minor Science for two tracks of spacious, experimental techno. Opener "Closing Acts" seems to continue where Minor Science's 2014 Trilogy Tapes debut left off. A 4/4 kick lays the foundation for space station bleeps and jazzy experimentation. Minor chords come in to join the groove, but the track never seems to repeat itself. "Glamour," which takes up the B side, seems even more alien. A disembodied voice turns percussive while drum machine rhythms pop in for a spat. There's an underlying sense of a beat, but that is helped along by a staccato bass line rather than any true semblance of a bass drum. Real future forward material to warp your head around.

the ball's in your court
This page is about the idiom the ball's in your court
Meaning: If someone you're negotiating with says "the ball's in your court", they think it's your turn to make a move or make an offer.
For example:
- We've offered him ten thousand dollars a month, so the ball's in his court now.
- They know our position, so the ball's in their court. If they want to pursue the matter, they'll have to make the next move.
Origin: Metaphorical, from sports such as tennis and badminton in which players take turns to hit a ball over a net into each other's end of the court.
Quick Quiz:

Happy Fall
This year we pick our own pumpkins at our property. We have 3 1/3 arces, But don't live there however it is just around the corner from us. We allow a friend who owns a landscaping business to dump his grass clipping there. One day last month Paul went to see how things were looking over there and to our surprise we had a pumpkin patch. We got about a dozen pumpkins out of it. What a pleasant surprise. This year Autumn carved her own pumpkin with her own knife. She was very proud.
Happy Fall Everyone! Only 61 days until Christmas!

Jesus, Republicans & The Religious Right
This is for all my friends who want to say that Republicans are just the Christians and yet then argue that Jesus was a liberal socialist. I am sorry that just does not make any sense.
and another great article about
The Religious Right – an American Reaction, Not and Imposition
These are great very well written articles that deserve a read.
It passed.
It will be interesting to see what happens now. Lawmakers voted 263-171 to pass the bill. Whether their speculation about the economy and what this bill will offer is correct or if they are lemmings just giving into peer pressure and jumping off the proverbial bridge because their friends did. Apparently the Dow jumped with news of the passing. But only time will tell what all the fallout from this will be.
California Republicans – Where are you?
I have to keep reminding myself to keep my headphones on and not eavesdrop at what the people around me are saying. It creates too many temptations to try and argue with them. And based on the things they are saying there is not a chance that they would think I am right. They are being pretty nasty.
I am the minority. I wish my McCain/Palin shirt was clean today. I would have totally worn it.
I decided to search and see what percentage of the state of California is Republican. It was not a pretty sight. I found this article California Republicans: An endangered species? it did not do anything to make me feel better. Here are a few key excerpts in case you don't want to click through.
- Registered Republicans now constitute barely a third of the electorate in the biggest state — 34 percent — a decline from 39 percent just two decades ago.
- Even in Orange County, regularly described as "the most Republican county in the U.S.," Republican registration has fallen below 50 percent.
- The Republicans haven't controlled the state Senate since 1970. They have controlled the state Assembly for only one year — 1996 — since 1970.
- In the past three general elections, Republicans have lost 20 of the 24 statewide constitutional offices up for election. In both 1998 and 2006, the GOP lost six of eight statewide offices.
- In 2002, Republicans were shut out of all statewide offices for the first time since 1882 — despite a Democratic ticket led by an incumbent governor up for reelection with job approval ratings in the 30s.
- Other than Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 2003 gubernatorial recall election, the only non-incumbent Republican to win any statewide office whatsoever since 1994 was a multimillionaire high-tech maven who in 2006 was elected insurance commissioner.
- Republicans have lost — count 'em — seven straight U.S. Senate races in California dating back to 1992, the last four by double-digit blowouts.
- In the two most recent races in 2004 and 2006, the sad sack GOP nominees didn't even have the money to air a single spot on broadcast television — a first in the modern era for either major party.
- The Republican nominee against Sen. Dianne Feinstein in '06 ran his own campaign out of his house.
- Of the 53 members of Congress from California, only 19 are Republican, the party having lost four GOP-held seats in 2000, a newly created district in 2002 and another, supposedly rock-solid, Republican seat in 2006.
- Republicans have lost the past four presidential elections in California, all of them by double-digit, landslide margins.
- And George W. Bush's job approval ratings in California are below even his historic-low national standings — and only a couple of points above former Gov. Gray Davis' numbers on the day he was recalled in 2003.
Wow, it is much sadder than I thought. Here is a link to another document with California vote profiles. Maybe we moved to the wrong part of the state 🙂
Coming from what is arguably one of the most conservative, Republican counties in the country to this one has been a major eye opener. I have never been in the minority for anything in my life. I am used to my friends and people around me having very similar beliefs. Here it seems like a free for all and you cannot be sure of what anyone believes. There are so many more shades of gray in this state.
So please, if you are a Republican in California let me know I am not alone. I am a proud registered Republican in the great state of California and I am not ashamed.
Changing your religion
I have to throw this out there, from reading profiles on facebook, tweets, etc – I have decided that there it is not worth my time to argue my position to anyone that is going to totally argue their candidate with me. You are not going to change my mind and I am not going to change yours. Now if we could hold an intelligent, civil conversation without resorting to name calling and ridiculous commentary, I would be happy to participate. Unfortunately, that is not usually how that plays out.
I find it to be similar to trying to change someone's religious beliefs. If you have something that you hold dear to you such as your faith than you are not going to easily be swayed away from what you believe. In fact you might find it offensive when people attack you telling you that you are wrong.
So that said, I will not try to change your mind. If you will respect me and agree to disagree. I find it interesting to see the variances between each position, but I base what I believe on my values and faith. So please know that going into any conversation.
If you do want to hold a civil discussion I welcome the conversation.
There is a reason the independent vote is the most important this election. They are the only ones who you are likely to have any influence over. So I will be interested in seeing how it turns out and how many people are swayed to one side or the other.
Sick Kids – Thoughts on Health Care
Ok. Well we all have them sometime. Not gonna do a big post today as i have to head out to the pediatrician. I would like to take a quick moment to express my thoughts on health care since I am going to take advantage of my husbands employer provided health care plan.
I do not believe in government sponsored health care for the entire country. There are programs in place to provide all people, men, women, and children; with medical care. No one is to be denied care at a public hospital. I also venture to say that in an emergency even a private facility would provide care.
Is there a problem with the cost of health care? That really depends on how you look at it. We pay for our health care. We pay both monthly to have insurance and then again when we go to the doctor. That does not bother me. Do I think that money buys treatment? Sometimes it might. When you have more resources you can get to more specialists. Does everyone have to go to that one doctor? No. We don't all have to see "House". While we all might like the highest epitome of doctors, in reality everyone on any given day does not need to see that type of doctor. There are hospitals and organizations that do provide superior medical care to those who cannot afford it.
Next question though – aren't they on Medicare or something similar? Most states have government subsidized health care at least for children so really there should be no excuse. I find that a lot of people in our country are lazy and are looking for a handout. They feel they have been treated unfairly in life and want the rest of us to pay for it. That whole topic will come up when I write about social policy, a topic I have very strong feelings about.
Frankly the cost of health care is going to rise either way. The options are not good for those of us who already pay responsibly for our care. We will either be paying increased costs as indigent care rises, which is how it is now. Balances out by covering some of the costs for those uninsured by rising costs of care. Or those of us who already pay for things will be paying more to provide health care for everyone else. So either way the working class will be paying for everyone else's health care.
I do not like big government and I do not think that universal health care is a good thing. It will limit research and access to resources.
Well, off to the doctor that I pay for and will continue to pay for, and hope that I have the option to continue to see.

I always thought "A Star is Burns" was underrrated, but then again I saw it years after it aired and was unaware of the existence of The Critic. The show seemed to start losing its luster in Season 8, but it was still a strong season for the most part. Season 9 is where things began to fall apart; about half the season was really good (Lisa's Sax, Bart Star, The Joy of Sect, Das Bus, Girly Edition in particular) and the rest of it was... not (The Cartridge Family, All Singing All Dancing, and Bart Carny were really terrible, and Treehouse of Horror VIII was a huge drop-off in quality compared to the ones that preceeded it). Seasons 10-12 was awful except for a few episodes, but 13-14 took steps towards watchability before falling off again. I stopped watching completely after Season 16.
Personally, one of my favorite episodes is "Homer the Vigilante", which comes out of the Fifth Season (one of my beloved and favorite seasons). J.
See, I thought that episode was fantastically funny and one of S6's many highlights. "On closer inspection, these appear to be loafers." "Just connect it to my veins!" However, I am something of a Critic diehard as well, and I hunted down that series basically on the basis of my love of this episode. I enjoyed that series an unreasonably great deal. Besides, Matt Groening, with Bender's cameo on the Simpsons and a teenager committing suicide because Futurama cancelled, is he really one to talk? ...yes, yes he is as that wasn't a whole episode. But shush.
Season 7, for me, is when I started not enjoying some episodes. I basically tuned out shortly after that, only contuining with the Halloween specials, because even they were good despite the rest of the bad season, then one day,I forget which season, the Halloween specials started sucking really badly. I don't might a slight decline, one episode good, then the next season terrible. And it was terrible again the next season, so I dropped the series all together. At this point, it's a fucking joke well beyond it's prime. It is quite sad, really. I've said this stuff here multiple times, and I have also said this before here: Anybody who's never seen the series and decides to judge it by tuning into it now, or any of the re-runs from the last ten years, makes me feel fucking embaressed to even be a fan.
I agree. I'd add Burn's entire movie and the Boo-urns moment were also very funny and were my highlights for the episode. Also in my house we got a lot of run out of the Mexican equivalent joke.
I've always enjoyed The Simpsons on one level or another. My problems with it started when they had a string of episodes where celebrities would randomly pop-up in episodes for no reason whatsoever, play themselves (and basically say "Hi, I'm so-and-so"), and then depart. The example that springs to mind is when Marge got Weird Al to sing to Homer for some reason. It's the Internet...that's allowed. In fairness, there is a difference between a throwaway cameo and a blatant crossover.
For me, it would have to be season 13. I've only seen a few episodes from subsequent seasons, but haven't found any of them laugh-out-loud funny as previous seasons. It's still been a great series and I'll no doubt be rewatching seasons 1-13 for the rest of my life.
Seasons 2-13 are great, but then the show lost its way. I have seasons 2-12 on DVD, but I'll stop after 13.
I think the show has improved a tad recently (I'm surprised since I thought the movie was mostly worthless). There's been less reliance and b plots that don't interact (though to be fair, there were such episodes that were good), and somewhat less Homer retardation. (Like tonight's episode, Homer was actually competent as Carl's assistant.) I think Conan O'Brien's involvement was when the show peaked and that was soooo long ago. IT'll never return to that level, but...
I voted season 5, it was just the last great season with the "Simpsons Feeling" to it. its also the season i stopped buying the dvds
Some of the greatest lines ever in that ep: "Can you swing a sack of doorknobs?" "Can I !" "Here's the sack, but you gotta supply your own knobs." or "Lisa, dont EVER stop in the middle of a ho-down!"
Does anyone remember which season is this from? In any case, I liked the Godfather reference even though I can't remember much about the episode.
I love the anti-cat burglar security systems, the house with legs and the lasers! Homer the Vigilante is one of my all time favourites as well, along with You Only Move Twice. In fact they were the first two I ever saw, on a video with Marge in Chains and Bart the Fink. I can't believe A Star is Burns is underrated - I adore that episode. The Burns film alone is worth seeing over and over again. As for my drop-off point, season 12 is the last one I remember really enjoying. I kept watching up to 15 and just petered away gradually. It really did lose a lot of its inventiveness and charm. And the supporting cast seemed to shrink too. All of a sudden, it was just Burns, Smithers, Apu, Skinner etc with so, so many other good characters shafted. I have seen a few episodes from seasons 19 and 20 which were much better than anything from 13-18 though.
On the subject of "Homer the Vigilante", the moment with Skinner and Homer nodding at each other to the theme of Dragnet is one of my favourite bits ever.
I suppose it would be season 9. I remember my hatred for the Simpsons started with "The Principal and the Pauper" and reached it's peaked with "Trash of the Titans". A quick Wiki search showed me that both of these episodes were in season 9.
See, that's how good the Simpsons used to be, I'm actually laughing out loud at a 1 second animated gif.

Hill Harper has booked a co-starring role opposite Jake McDorman and Jennifer Carpenter in CBS' drama pilot, "Limitless," which is based on the 2011 feature that starred Bradley Cooper, itself based on the novel, "The Dark Fields," by Alan Glynn.
The film told the story of a struggling writer who becomes a financial wizard, with the help of a mysterious pill that enables the user to access 100 percent of their brain abilities; but it also thrusts him into a dangerous new world.
The TV pilot adaptation, which will be executive produced by Bradley Cooper, follows a similar narrative, except the lead character will use his newfound drug-enhanced abilities to solve weekly cases for the FBI.
Hill Harper has signed up to play a character named Boyle, who is a former military officer, now an FBI asset with experience testing the effects of NZT on FBI Special Agents.
Marc Webb is directing the pilot from a script by Craig Sweeny.
Harper enjoyed a long run on CBS' "CSI: NY" – 10 seasons to be exact. There was also "Covert Affairs" on the USA Network, which he was on for 2 seasons. On the big screen, his most recent work was leading Tommy Oliver's acclaimed feature film directorial debut, "1982." Upcoming, catch him in another indie feature, Qasim Basir's "Destined" (which stars Cory Hardrict), and alongside Will Smith in "Concussion."

I am new to using sql server 2005 studio. I am more experience using sql server 2000 DTS packages. I would like to ber able to use this environmnet like i did when creating DTS packages. Thus I have the following questions: 1. To create a package, I know that if I right click on managment, I will get an export and export wizard. However when I am using the wizard, there are not as many output options as there in DTS packages. Thus how would I create a 'piped' delimited text file? Do I need to install some additions? 2. Can I use sql server 2005 using when accessing a sql server 2000 database only? 3. Is there any any that the export wizard would let me create a file in a pdf format and/or for Dbase5 files? Thanks!
Hi, Unlike dts in 2000, it's been replaced with SSIS packages in 2005. You need to open a integration project and solution file through visual studio and create packages over there. After that you need to connect to integration service and import those dtsx files you created in above solution. Search for related articles on creating dtsx files in 2005.
"Can I use sql server 2005 using when accessing a sql server 2000 database only?" Yes you can use sql server mangement studio to connect to sql 2000 and you can even modify objects like modifying sps but you can not use any 2005 feature or functions on 2000 server
As referred by Ranjit you could do, also you can manage a SQL 2000 server using SQL 2005 tools having database compatability to 80 and still you may not be able to take advantage of newest features in SQL 2005 version though.
