I've received a couple of questions in email and in comments about deadlocks involving mysterious-sounding non-lock resources like "exchangeEvent" and "threadpool". There are a couple of examples in the comments for post http://blogs.msdn.com/bartd/archive/2006/09/25/deadlock-troubleshooting-part-3.aspx, and here's a forum post on the topic: http://forums.microsoft.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3913233&SiteID=1.
Here's one example (note that I've omitted the "inputbuf" and "executionStack" nodes for the sake of brevity and clarity):

"exchangeEvent" Deadlock Resources
Some terminology, to better understand the trace flag 1222 deadlock output shown above:
spid = system process ID, AKA "session_id" — to oversimplify slightly, this represents a connection to SQL
sbid = system batch ID, also called "request_id" — a query that a spid is running
sbid = system batch ID, also called "request_id" — a query that a spid is running
ecid = execution context ID — a worker thread running part of a query
ecid = execution context ID — a worker thread running part of a query
There's one thing that you should note about this deadlock right off the bat: all of the participants (the "process" nodes in the -T1222 output) are from the same session identifier (spid) and the same batch (sbid). They each have a different thread ID (kpid and ecid). Each "process" entry in this deadlock represents a different worker thread, but all of these worker threads are running part of a single large parallel query that was submitted by spid 51.
Another interesting thing about this deadlock is in the resource list: most deadlocks involve lock resources ("pagelock", "keylock", etc), but this one only deals with "exchangeEvent" and "threadpool" resources.
Deadlocks centering around exchangeEvent resources have been given the name "intra-query parallelism deadlock". (I know — it just drips 'sexy', doesn't it?) They may be accompanied by this error message — sent to the client app only, not logged in the SQL errorlogs:
Server: Msg 8650, Level 13, State 1, Line 1 Intra-query parallelism caused your server command (process ID #51) to deadlock. Rerun the query without intra-query parallelism by using the query hint option (maxdop 1).
An "exchangeEvent" resource indicates the presence of parallelism operators in a query plan. The idea is that the work for an operation like a large scan, sort, or join is divided up so that it can be executed on multiple child threads. There are "producer" threads that do the grunt work and feed sets of rows to "consumers". Intra-query parallel requires signaling between these worker threads: the consumers may have to wait on producers to hand them more data, and the producers may have to wait for consumers to finish processing the last batch of data. Parallelism-related waits show up in SQL DMVs as CXPACKET or EXCHANGE wait types (note that the presence of these wait types is normal and simply indicates the presence of parallel query execution — by themselves, these waits don't indicate that this type or any other type of deadlock is occurring).
Wherever you have threads waiting for resources, there is a risk that they will end up in a circular blocking chain (thread A holding resource X and waiting for resource Y, thread B holding resource Y and waiting for resource X). The synchronization objects used in parallel query execution are no exception; in rare cases, the threads running a single query can end up deadlocking with one another. Most intra-query parallelism deadlocks are considered bugs, although some of them can be risky bugs to fix so a fix may not be possible. If you run into one and you're already on the latest SQL service pack, your best bet may be to investigate workarounds. Luckily, this type of deadlock is relatively uncommon, and in most cases it's possible to work around the problem by eliminating parallelism in the query. Try one of these two approaches:
Workaround #1: Add an index or improve the query to eliminate the need for parallelism. In most cases, the use of parallelism in a query indicates that you have a very large scan, sort, or join that isn't supported by proper indexes. If you tune the query, you will often find that you end up with a much quicker and more efficient plan that doesn't use parallelism, and therefore isn't subject to this type of problem. Of course, in some queries (DSS/OLAP-type queries, in particular) it may be difficult to eliminate all large scans.
Workaround #2: Force single-threaded execution with an "OPTION (MAXDOP 1)" query hint at the end of the query. If you can't modify the query, you can apply the hint to any query with a plan guide (assuming that you're running SQL 2005 or later).
"threadpool" Deadlock Resources
A process waiting for a "threadpool" resource is actually waiting for a worker thread. There are a finite number of threads in SQL's thread pool, and if they are all in use, new requests must wait for an in-progress task to complete and free up a thread. Thread pool waits (in DMVs, "THREADPOOL" or "UMSTHREAD" waittype) are typically a side effect of a massive resource contention problem — most commonly, a large blocking chain. You should investigate what is tying up all of your worker threads, and eliminate that bottleneck. While it's not clear from this deadlock output alone, I suspect that in this case there may have been many other large untuned queries using lots of parallel threads, so excessive parallelism itself may have been the cause of the thread starvation.
"resourceWait" Deadlock Resources
(UPDATE: The following info on "resourceWait" was added to this post 15 Oct 2009.)
A process waiting for a "resourceWait" resource is waiting for a "resource semaphore". Resource semaphores are typically used to govern memory used for query sorts and hashes. So the following wait graph:
keylock hobtid=72057594038845440 dbid=6 objectname=XXXTABLE indexname=YYYINDEX id=lockffffffff81314cc0 mode=X associatedObjectId=72057594038845440
owner id=processebb108 mode=X
waiter id=processebae38 mode=S requestType=wait
owner id=processebae38
waiter id=processebb108
could be read as:
Spid A is waiting for a shared key lock, but is blocked by Spid B, who holds an exclusive lock on this key.
Spid B is waiting for more memory to run his query (and, eventually, to release the X key lock), but he is blocked by other spids, including Spid A, who are currently holding all of the memory available for this type of operation.
You could tackle this by looking for tuning opportunities in the queries run by both deadlock participants. They are probably running a query plan that involves a hash or sort operation. Remove this through indexing or query changes and you should eliminate the query's need to wait for a query memory grant. You could also try throwing RAM at the problem, but keep in mind that query workspace memory, the memory used for sorts and hashes, must be drawn from "visible buffer pool". On a 32-bit box, visible bpool is limited to approximately 2GB (3GB if you are running with /3GB). If SQL already has this much memory available to it, adding more won't help.
Just because you see "exchangeEvent" resources in your deadlock graph doesn't necessarily mean that you are facing an intra-query parallelism deadlock. Sometimes the engine includes extraneous resources in the deadlock graph. This makes it important to find out how the waiters relate to one another so that you can determine which of the resources is an essential part of the circular blocking chain. The post http://blogs.msdn.com/bartd/archive/2006/09/09/Deadlock-Troubleshooting_2C00_-Part-1.aspx steps you through a deconstruction of -T1222 output so that you can get a clearer understanding of the relationships. As a rule of thumb, if there are any lock resources in your deadlock output (pagelock, keylock, rowlock) along with the exchangeEvent resources, you should suspect that the exchangeEvent resources are non-essential and that you are probably facing a "normal" deadlock.
If you're interested in more background info on parallel query execution, there's a great presentation by Craig Freedman attached to this blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/craigfr/archive/2007/04/17/parallel-query-execution-presentation.aspx

Pandora to the rescue
I made a one-day trip this weekend to northern Illinois.
I wasn't sure whether I'd come back the same day, so I packed a bag just in case.
I had work still to do that night, so I left for home about 5 p.m.. I listened to Chicago news radio for a while until I'd gotten through the cycle and started to lose the signal. I was going to switch to my iPod but realized I had forgotten to pack it in the first place.
This was not exactly a major problem in the world. I was 40 or 50 miles north of Bloomington on I-39. I could make it home in silence, or have one of those conversations in the car that you can only have when you're the only one in the car.
Other people have those conversations, right?
Instead, I got the phone charger from my glove box, and hooked my Droid up to my car stereo. And I launched Pandora.
And the rest of the drive, except for fewer than five seconds one time, I never lost the signal and had terrific music to listen to. I tried switching "stations" and, except for the lapse while the switch happened, there was no loss of tunes.
I don't know whether the Droid is that good, or Pandora is, or the Verizon network in the middle of Illinois is.
But it made me wonder whether I should sell my iPod.

Goodbye Shea...Hello Citi Field
The Mets had an auspicious win last night at the first exhibition game in their new stadium, beating the Red Sox 4-3.
Mets fans reveled in Citi Field's open space and surprisingly good ball park food on the promenade deck and various eateries.
Lifelong Mets fan Steve Douani washed down his pulled pork sandwich with a cold beer saying the food was a dramatic upgrade. The stadium wasn't bad either.
Jake Bronzy, 8, spent some time at the Mr. Mets Kiddie Field (a wiffle ball park for kids), slurped down a vanilla ice cream in a small baseball helmet bowl and went to pay tribute to the old Home Run Apple. Citi Field has a new larger apple, and through an online petition, fans voted to bring the old one over as well. Bronzy isn't sure why he likes it, he just does.

text: When staying at a hotel, NEVER book with sources like Expedia, Hotwire, of Travelocity. They often cost more than the rates at the hotel would be, and they often make mistakes in the booking process. Next, ALWAYS call or visit the hotel directly. The desk manager has complete control over the rates and booking processes. If you have any problems with your room, NEVER be a bitch to the desk manager. They will not help you and possibly mess things up for you just for fun if you are an *******. Best thing to do, be very friendly to the desk manager at all times, because it pays off. Just a bit of advice.

Hello. This is my first time reading a chart, and I just needed to ask a quick question.
First of all, I'm looking at this chart.
I think I've got the general idea, I'm just a bit confused on the instructions.
For one color, the instructions read "k1 MC, p1 CC" and then for the next color, it says "k1 CC, p1 MC"
Do I do the instructions in that order, or do I do it based on the color?For instance, I have my CC on my needle as the first stitch, but the instructions say to k1 MC. So, do I knit my main color then, or do I wait for the next main-colored stitch on my needle?
I'm sorry this is a bit confusing. If you have questions on what I'm trying to say, I'll try to draw something on paint.
I think the chart directions with the K1 MC, P1 CC color etc. are for doing double knitting. That is where you are knitting two layers at once. I don't know much about double knitting, if you really want to do double knitting send a private message to Of Troy, she is our resident expert on double knitting.
If you just want to use that chart to do a design like that in regular knitting just knit each stitch once in the color you see on the chart. If you are knitting back and forth remember that that the knit rows are worked right to left and on the purl rows you read the chart from left to right, and of course you would purl back if you are doing stockinette. If you are working in the round you read all rows right to left.
The chart looks as though you don't have to mentally switch colors, so you just do it as the chart shows it. I suppose you know that you are double knitting.
If the square on the chart is grey, you knit with MC, then purl the next (corresponding) stitch with CC, if the chart shows green square, you knit with the CC, then purl with the MC.
(Normally, you have to switch colors of chart from one row to the next, so even if it said "green square" on the chart, you would do "grey square" instead. But this chart doesn't seem that way, which is less confusing.)
Does this make things clearer?

An adaption of Love Doll: Lovely Idol, which has been published in the same magazine, is also in development. In the game, players will control Toshihiro Fujizawa, a newcomer to Sweet Fish Productions. In his new position, he will work under his older sister who happens to be the company's talent manager. Despite being a new hiree, Toshihiro is assigned to handle a total of 12 so-called Love Dolls. Those girls are future idols, casted by Sweet Fish via a TV show. Since all 12 are only at the early stages of their careers, they have to be treated carefully, while at the same time being prepared for their time in the spotlight. This happens to be the protagonist's job.
Like World's End, Love Doll: Lovely Idol for PlayStation 2 will be released in Japan sometime this year.

Samsung and Apple have been battling in court with claim and counter-claim of patent infringement regarding their tablets and smartphones in recent times, but now another issue has arisen of copycat behaviour - this time related to tablet cases.
When Apple launched the iPad 2 last March, a lot of attention was given to the Smart Cover which clipped onto the new iPad via magnets. It was a clever and sleek solution to protecting your tablet.
And it seems as if it wasn't only Apple who thought the idea was a clever one. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 Smart Case by Anymode is nothing more than an exact copy of the Smart Cover design though with a full wrap around case to hold it in place instead of the magnets used in Apple's design.
However, before Steve Jobs could get on the Apple Phone to his lawyers, Samsung moved to quickly distance themselves from the copycat design. On its official blog, Samsung said:
"As a general practice, Samsung Electronics reviews and approves all accessories produced by partners before they are given the 'Designed for Samsung Mobile' mark. In this case, approval was not given to Anymode for the accessory to feature this official designation. We are working with Anymode to address this oversight and the product has already been removed from the Anymode sales website. The product has not been sold."
The four-sectioned case itself resembles the Smart Cover in more than looks. There is also a micro-fibre lining on the inside, presumably to keep the screen clean. The case allows the user to prop the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in landscape or portrait mode. Even the colours available are almost identical.
With the item now removed from the company website we may never see it again, and if we do Apple will no doubt be keeping a close eye on its design.

text: For anyone that remembers me, over the last year I've been trying to sell my CTS and buy a Corvette. Well, finally got the CTS sold and I am now officially looking for a Corvette. I'll probably get an 05 because I really want a C6. Locally they have very few and are still selling 05s in the mid 40s, I know of places that have sold them in the mid to upper 30s with low mileage and thats about what I am willing to pay. Wish me luck all.

Yesterday I was running around the park in a T-shirt with a birthday party full of seven-year-olds. Today, I walked downtown through a flurry of hard, tiny pellets of snow that I couldn't escape from. It was a little like the experience of going to bed a happy, underpaid writer and waking up the next day as a miserable, underpaid writer who is staying home while everyone else you know is traveling to a conference.
No matter where you look online, you're getting smacked in the face with these niggling little reminders that you're here dealing with laundry and kids and deadlines and your friends are off brown-nosing editors and eating dinner in absurdly large groups and developing inside jokes and memories that you're going to be outside of the next time you get together.
You can complain to and commiserate with the three or four other people you know who aren't at the conference, but you're aware that it's petty and fruitless, so you stop after a few hours and just try to avoid the Interwebs for a few days—which means that, no, you didn't see that video of Trump as Lex Luthor or whatever it was.

Nova Scotia Bound – Part Two
The flights went relatively smooth, aside from the 2 hour delay in Toronto. After the plane finished loading the passengers, one of Air Canada's crew found something wrong with the plane. Whatever it was they found, it must have been pretty ugly, as the flight was delayed almost two hours. If it wasn't for the in-air entertainment systems I'm pretty sure they would have had a riot. Each time the Captain would update us on the situation you'd hear sighs and tongue clicks. I was in no hurry, so I managed to catch up on a couple TV shows and a bit of a movie.
Turns out Air Canada's apology was sincere. If you measure sincerity in the amount of free alcoholic beverages they provide. Which was many. I took advantage by having a couple Heineken. My friend Justin, who's traveling with me, wanted to see how far they'd let him go. 3 Beers, and 4 Rye and Cokes later, they insisted they couldn't serve him anymore alcohol as we were landing soon. We believed that until we looked at the Flight Map and saw we still had 45 minutes left in flight time. Turns out they were just trying to cut him off as polite as possible.
After landing in Halifax, we grabbed our rental car, and made our way to a hotel. We managed to score a booking at the "Commons Inn" for a couple nights. The prices are reasonable, and it's near Spring Gardens Road, a great little strip full of pubs and restaurants. After getting settled in and showered, we realized we hadn't eaten much since early morning.
Thankfully my sister knows several locals, and they recommended we check out "Your Father's Moustache Pub and Eatery". We ordered food ( A lobster died on behalf of the delicious Lobster Roll I ordered) and finished it off with a few drinks. What's great about Halifax is that walking from place to place really isn't that difficult. Everything is relatively close. There's so many places to stop and check out and poke your head in that you're never bored getting from place to place.
Today was a relatively easy day, pretty non-eventful, I think we're just going to enjoy the weekend, check out some sights and sounds, then get my sisters things together and get her moved back into Uni, and start some serious sightseeing then.

As the talent pool becomes increasingly competitive and the acceptance rates rapidly smaller, more and more applicants turn for help from experienced consultants to help them unlock their competitive advantage. Although it is possible to get into a business school without the use of a consultant, there are numerous benefits to having an experienced admissions consultant on your side — and for a number of different reasons.
Whether you need help acquiring a scholarship, are looking to save on the cost of reapplying, or want to ensure your acceptance into a better school, an expert can help guide you through the admissions process, offer valuable insight, and allow you to maximize every opportunity.
Over the past 20 years, Accepted has helped thousands of applicants get accepted into more than 450 top schools. But we have also seen the struggle, frustration and anxiety of applicants that chose the wrong admissions consultants. Therefore, we created a guide that will help you avoid making the wrong choice by teaching you:
- What an admissions consultant can help you with — and what they can't
- What to look for when researching consultants
- What qualities you should avoid at all costs
Don't just select any consultant! Choose the best MBA admissions consultant for YOU and save yourself the money, time, and frustration of going through the admissions process with a partner that isn't right for you.

Social Security
Ask Social Security Questions and Get Answers ASAP
Good morning Lynn,I'm Doug, and I'm sorry to hear of the confusion. My goal is to provide you with excellent service today.If you would like to have social security terminate your Representative Payee and begin paying your benefits directly to you, you may do so. You will not lose your benefits simply because you want to be paid directly.The way to ask to have the Representative Payee terminated is to fill out this form:
As you can see by the form, as you are only wanting to end the payments to the Representative Payee, all you need to do is to mark the box in "Item 1" on the form, and then answer only items 3, 5, 6, and 8 before signing the form on page 4.
Then simply take the form you filled out, or mail it, to your social security office nearest you and they will look into the request for you and notify you by mail if and when your request is approved.
Your benefits will not be terminated just because you ask that the Representative Payee's job be terminated and the benefits instead paid to you directly.
You may reply back to me using the Continue the Conversation or Reply to Expert link and I will be happy to continue to assist you until I am able to address your concerns, to your satisfaction. Please remember to rate my service to you when our communication is completed. I wish you the best in 2013,Doug
Good morning Lynn,I'm sorry for any confusion, but please look again at the form I gave you. It is the form to be used---I assure you.The directions immediately above Item 1 state: "Answer item 1 ONLY if you are the claimant and want your benefits paid directly to you." This is the form to be used when someone is asking to be appointed as a payee of benefits. Because you already have a payee, you use this form to change the payee to yourself---because they are your benefits.
An inheritance has no impact on your eligibility for disability. You could be a millionaire and still qualify for social security disability.The only questions that you need to fill out on this form ate Items 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8 before signing the form on page 4.You may reply back to me again, using the Reply to Expert link, if you have additional questions.I wish you the best in your future,Doug

Alaska vocalist takes top prize in Rondy talent competition
A student of the late Mitch Tubman, singer claims $500 memorial scholarship
ANCHORAGE – Malie Delgado's voice took her all the way to the top at this year's Great Alaska Talent Competition.
While the $1,000 grand prize was an "absolutely crazy" way to cap off this year's Fur Rondy, Delgado said the biggest prize was a $500 scholarship for musical education. The scholarship was dedicated to Mitch Tubman — Delgado's vocal coach for 10 years — who passed away earlier this year.
"I thought that I represented him in a very, very good way, and that made me very, very happy," Delgado said.

Fans of Gore Vidal's wit and wisdom are paying tribute to the author, playwright, actor and politician who died at his home in the Hollywood Hills on Tuesday of complications from pneumonia.
The U.K.'s Guardian compiled 26 of his best quotes on topics ranging from sex -- by the time he was 25, he had already had more than 1,000 sexual encounters with both men and women, he boasted in his memoir Palimpsest -- to politics. Included:
- "There is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise."
- "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn."
- "It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail."
- "Fifty percent of people won't vote, and fifty percent don't read newspapers. I hope it's the same fifty percent."
On Twitter, many are retweeting this one: "The United States was founded by the brightest people in the country — and we haven't seen them since."
And some famous folks are adding thoughts:
Ricky Gervais: "... to rid one's self of this consciousness..nothing wrong with that.." Gore Vidal RIP
Rob Lowe: "Gore Vidal. Now there was a man who knew how to use his pencil."
Zachary Quinto: "gore vidal. one of tennessee's closest and a true revolutionary. incendiary. insightful. incisive. missed by many already."
LeVar Burton: "Gore Vidal... You were always the smartest guy in any room. God Bless and may flocks of Angels guide thee to thy rest!!!"
John Stamos: "'Never miss a chance to have sex or appear on television'- advice taken Gore - and thank you for the BEST MAN. rip Gore Vidal."
London TV host Krishnan Guru-Murthy: "I imagine Gore Vidal will get to heaven and find it terribly bland. I hope he somehow sends us back a review."

Flooding and volcanic activity
Democratic People's Republic of Korea
wednesday, april 20:
It is now nearly six weeks since the earthquake and tsunami destroyed swathes of Japan's coastline. A huge clean up operation has been underway since the disaster struck and the Japanese authorities are making strong progress as Japan rises back to her feet.
The cherry blossom in Japan's north is starting to bloom, a sign the weather is beginning to turn and the cold weather is coming to an end, a key factor as families begin to leave crowded evacuation centers. ShelterBox continues to work throughout the coastal areas affected, helping families affected by the disaster as they begin to rebuild their lives.
Tuesday, April 5:
ShelterBox Response Teams (SRTs) continue to work along the affected areas of Japan's north east coast. They are delivering emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies to families who lost all they had when the tsunami struck.
In Yamamoto, a town near Sendai, SRT members Ian Neal (UK) and Mark Dyer (US) found 30 families living in cars outside an evacuation center. The families' homes were destroyed when the tsunami hit and they have been living in their cars ever since.
ShelterBoxes have now been delivered to all 30 families as they attempt to rebuild their lives.
friday, april 1:
1,574 ShelterBoxes have now been committed to helping families affected by the earthquake and tsunami that ravaged Japan three weeks ago. Thousands more ShelterBoxes are on standby should they be required. Alongside this, more than 10,000 of ShelterBox's winter gloves, scarves and hats are being sent to Japan as the freezing conditions continue.
monday, march 28:
Japanese Prefectural government officials have been welcoming the work of ShelterBox following the devastating Tsunami that stuck the country on March 11.
The Japanese government has said that 8,800 temporary housing units will be built in the Iwate Prefecture. In Ofunato 1,400 are being built and it is expected to take between three to four months for them to be completed. As such, ShelterBox tents are crucial at present in providing privacy and restoring dignity to families.
thursday, march 24:
ShelterBox tents have been set up for families affected by the tsunami-hit area of Iwate Prefecture in Japan.
Hashimoto-san, a local politician from the Iwate Prefecture who has lent his expertise and local network to help ShelterBox's efforts in the country, said:
"It'll be up to three months before temporary housing can be made available to those displaced by the tsunami.
Many individuals who have been forced to choose between crowded displacement centres or dependence on the hospitality of friends and neighbours will prefer the independence and privacy afforded by the ShelterBox solution."
Tuesday, March 22:
The ShelterBox Response Team is continuing to work within the Iwate prefecture as the number of casualties from the disaster continues to rise.
Latest figures from OCHA (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) say that there have been 8,649 confirmed deaths and a further 13,262 people missing. Close to 350,000 people are living in emergency evacuation centres throughout the country.
OCHA adds that the most vulnerable groups currently living in the evacuation centres are beginning to suffer from the psychological toll of having spent ten nights in a communal center, in freezing temperatures, having lost everything in the disaster.

friday, march 18:
Local government authorities in Japan's Iwate prefecture have requested 500 ShelterBoxes to provide emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families who lost their homes in last week's Tsunami.
Local Rotary groups made the request which is initially for 100 ShelterBoxes for each of the following five cities: Miyako, Yamadamachi, Kamaishi, Rikuzentakata and Ofunato.
The ShelterBox Response Team working in the region are continuing to work alongside the British Embassy in Japan and the British military as well as the US military to overcome the logistical challenges that lay ahead of them.
wednesday, march 16:
The ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) on the ground in Japan are working alongside the British Embassy in Japan and the British military. The team will be leaving tomorrow for the Iwate Prefecture where they expect a significant need for emergency shelter to be. Conditions are difficult though with reports of half a million people displaced, regular snowfall and plummeting temperatures.
tuesday, march 15:
The first ShelterBoxes have arrived in Japan. It is estimated that upward of half a million people have now lost their homes in the disaster and emergency shelters are already overcrowded.
monday, march 14:
Latest reports from Japan say that last night 590,000 people, including 210,000 evacuated from the area around the Fukushima nuclear power plant, spent the night in temporary shelter while millions in Japan's north have spent the past three nights without water, food or heat in near freezing temperatures.
The Japanese government has not yet requested any international assistance for the provision of emergency shelter but has put great value in international aid agencies operating autonomously and self-sufficiently in the country, as ShelterBox is.
To this end, ShelterBox are moving an initial 200 ShelterBoxes into Tokyo and have up to 5,000 more on stand by should they be needed.
sunday, march 13:
Japan's Prime Minister has described the ongoing catastrophe facing his country as the worst crisis since World War II.
His statement comes amid fears that up to 10,000 people are missing in the Miyagi prefecture which bore the brunt of Friday's tsunami, triggered by the 8.9 magnitude earthquake. The confirmed death toll stands at 1,300 people while a further 300,000 have been evacuated from their homes.
A ShelterBox Response Team (SRT), made up of team members from the UK, Australia, France and the USA, were one of the first international teams on the ground after the earthquake. Mark Pearson (UK) and Lasse Petersen (AU) are currently traveling to the worst affected areas and expect to be in Sendai by tomorrow.
Saturday, March 12:
The Japanese government have today called for international aid assistance in the wake of yesterday's 8.9 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami.
Latest reports state that more than 215,000 people have been made homeless by the two-pronged disaster with the need for emergency shelter being the top priority. The response team that are working in the region will be focusing their attention on Japan's north, which is the worst affected area.
Friday, march 11:
An earthquake measuring 8.9 ravaged Japan, triggering a tsunami that has caused widespread damage.
The latest reports coming out of Japan have shown cars, ships and buildings being swept away with waves of up to 10 meters high slamming into the coast. Areas across the Pacific Basin have been put on tsunami alert including Russia, Guam, the Philippines, Taiwan and Hawaii.
According to U.S. Geological Survey the earthquake was magnitude 8.9 at a depth of 20 miles with the epicentre 250 miles away from Japan's capital Tokyo. The earthquake is thought to have been 8,000 times stronger than the earthquake that rocked Christchurch, New Zealand, last month.
ShelterBox stands by to respond in whatever capacity is required as the extent of destruction and the scale of need becomes clear.
A ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) is mobilising. Three of ShelterBox's most experienced SRT members, Lasse Petersen (AU), Mark Pearson (UK) and John Diksa (FR), are spear-heading the response and will be drawing on all of their skills and experience in delivering emergency disaster relief as they fight to overcome the challenges ahead.

Eschatology: Death and Eternal Life

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0813215161, Paperback)Originally published in English in 1988, Joseph Ratzinger's Eschatology remains internationally recognized as a leading text on the "last things"--heaven and hell, purgatory and judgment, death and the immortality of the soul. This highly anticipated second edition includes a new preface by Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI and a supplement to the bibliography by theologian Peter A. Casarella.
Eschatology presents a balanced perspective of the doctrine at the center of Christian belief--the Church's faith in eternal life. Recognizing the task of contemporary eschatology as "to marry perspectives, so that person and community, present and future, are seen in their unity," Joseph Ratzinger brings together recent emphasis on the theology of hope for the future with the more traditional elements of the doctrine. His book has proven to be as timeless as it is timely.

Been a while, my movie maroons! Just nothing much out there that was worth seeing in a theater lately. More fun chugging brewskies in front of the cable nudie channels. But the most anticipated film of the season, THOR: THE DARK WORLD, is finally here, along with the most anticipated bullet-point review…
This is not going to be like your typical movie reviews.
First, NO SPOILERS. If you haven't yet seen the flick, I won't spoil it for ya.
I really hate when reviewers/critics do that. The main purpose of a review is to help a reader decide if the movie is worth seeing, not whether the reviewer is "right" or "wrong." That's secondary.
Second, I'm going to tell you where I'm coming from. I realize most paper-published reviews have limited space, but on the Net, there's little excuse. Give the reader at least SOME background so they can better judge if their experience will jibe with the reviewer's.
I've been a member of a Yahoo! Group for comic book art collectors, artists, fans and dealers for probably ten years now. (The group, or "list" as it's usually referred to, originated long before Yahoo! even had Groups; it's called "Comicart-L", and I'm guessing the "L" is for List.) One of the most frequent threads that shows up, usually a couple or more times a year, is about rights.
No, it has nothing to do with boxing, minorities–or boxing minorities. It's about who owns what when it comes to original art. Rather than cover the myriad questions and permutations (and just plain mutations) of the issue, I'll focus on the answers. Because of the complexity (not to mention ridiculousness, and even downright absurdity) of the subject, we'll do this in two parts so your eyes and brain don't glaze over and my fingers go numb from typing. First part is comic art (yes, that rhymes!) and the second will deal with commissions, which of course is a subject very near and dear to us here (dang, another rhyme) at Wednesday's Heroes.
Here's how it works:
- The publisher pays the artist to draw a story for a comic book usually owned by the publisher. Said publisher is paying for service, or labor. This is the creative equivalent of going to a mechanic to fix your car: you see two charges on your bill, one for parts and one for labor (usually expressed in time). Same with comics, except the "parts" are supplied by the artist (sometimes the paper is supplied by the publisher, which has caused some legal sticking points in the past, but for sake of this limited discussion we'll ignore that, just like most courts have). The labor, or "time", is usually expressed with a page rate.
- The artist's page rate is $X per page for pencilling, inking, or both, depending on the individual. (Back in the 1950s, it was usually anywhere from $10 to $60 per page; now it's probably anywhere from $10 to $300. As you can see, the comics industry hasn't progressed like most others thru the years!)
- The publisher does not pay sales tax on the physical page (like you would with parts for your car repair). Therefore, the physical art tends to belong to the artist, and is usually (supposed to be!) returned to him/her after publication. This enables the artist to help make up for the usually dismal and commercially embarrassing pay rate in the comics field by selling that original, physical artwork on the secondary market (whether thru conventions, web sites like comicartfans.com or dragonberry.com, an auction house, "feeBay", the artist's representative, and so on).
- If it's a major publisher like Marvel, DC, Archie, etc., the art is considered "Work for Hire" under Copyright Law, meaning the publisher, NOT the writer and artist(s), is considered the "author" and therefore sole copyright owner. However, that refers to owner of rights to the story and characters and publishing/reproduction, NOT the physical art. (Some original art from the past will actually have a stamp on the back stating this.)
- In other words, the artist has the right to sell the physical art but not to reproduce (publish) it. Exceptions are made for portfolios, samples used to get more work, and to advertise/sell the original art. The same applies to whomever the physical art is sold to. So if you buy an original page of art, you can display it on your personal collector site (like comicartfans.com), or eBay if you're selling it, or make a copy to give to a friend or interested buyer. But you cannot "publish" it–print it or put it up on a site like it's your story or characters, or use it to represent your company. Granted, there are original art dealers who may use images of pages they sell (or have sold) on their business cards or on their site logos, but these may fall under the "fair use" doctrine, which is the same part of copyright law that allows journalists to use select portions of copyrighted material in their reviews and articles. Like everything with copyright law, there's a fine and fuzzy line.
However, it should be noted that anyone using copyrighted images of the art still must give credit to the copyright owners. If you go to Heritage Auctions' site (which sells hundreds of pages per year), you'll see copyright notices on everything. Same with historical articles in magazines, books and especially web sites. Some get it wrong; a great example is TwoMorrows Publishing, one of my favorite publishers of comics history and interview magazines and collections. (I absolutely LOVE most of what they publish and have been buying/reading it since day one.) They're meticulous about giving copyright credit but often do it incorrectly. The format is a copyright symbol "©" (or the word "Copyright" or abbreviation "Copyr."), followed by the year of first publication (or creation if an unpublished work) followed by the name of the owner. For some reason, TwoMorrows always uses the date of their publication of the material, which is blatantly wrong and does a disservice to the copyright owners. If they reprint a page first published in 1971, the blurb should read "©1971" and not "©2010". The latter implies the company had no rights before then, when actually it's held the copyright for over 35 years!
So if you are selling or collecting original art or maintaining a blog on the subject and want to use examples of such art on your site or catalog, you can, up to a point. The best advice is that if you're unsure, just ASK. Some folks think it's easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission; they believe if they ask Marvel, DC or anyone else for permission to use something they'll automatically be turned down and it's easier to just use it and hope they don't get a "cease and desist" letter.
Not a good idea!
First, you'd be surprised how understanding some companies are with personal/fan stuff, especially when it comes to promoting their characters and books. (A friend of mine had an issue with selling prints of copyrighted characters from one of the Big Two at a convention last year, and the company's attorney was actually more lenient than the publisher!)
Second, because you went behind their backs, you're now on their watch list, and/or their sh** list. Which means they'll probably be checking on you in the future to make sure you don't try anything funny next time (not unlike your spouse catching you calling an old flame from the phone bill rather than just asking in the first place). Whereas if you ask permission, it will show respect and professionalism and future issues or questions would most likely go easier. Plus, who knows? You may even end up creating a relationship that may serve you in the future. More flies with honey and all that.
Whatever you do, DON'T go by what you see on the Web or even in print. Just because someone else seems to have gotten away with something doesn't mean you will too, and doesn't make it legal either. Heck, no different than what you see in reality. If you saw someone shoplift an action figure and not get caught, would you automatically assume you could too? That they're free? The only difference between action figures and rights is that one may be fully posable while the other is fully assignable.
Next time, COMMISSIONS and COPYRIGHTS–the non-dynamic duo!

A little attitude, not too bad but I can tell they're capable of worse. I saw their Google reviews reflect what you're saying.
Are you looking to buy or just use the range?
Try QuickCash Pawn in Florence. They charge a flat 10% above their wholesale cost. It's not your typical pawn shop. It's the best gunshop in the area that just happens to be in a pawn shop. It's not uncommon to see stuff at Bud's prices or sometimes even a little lower.

Brossart is the first American citizen to be arrested in a case involving drone assistance, something his attorney Bruce Quick finds alarming, calling it "outrageous government conduct." Police insist that it was perfectly legal, and that the drone wasn't used to gather evidence and was only called in after a warrant for Brossart's arrest had already been issued. Still, Quick is uneasy with the idea of using drones in civilian arrests, saying "I think we need to think long and hard before we proceed down this path."
In this particular instance, I don't take issue with the police using the drone for safety reasons. Brossart's family were armed with rifles and threatening to shoot anyone who approached, so I understand the need for remote surveillance. In general, however, I think Quick is absolutely right. We're headed down an Orwellian path and just because the drone wasn't used to gather evidence this time doesn't mean that that time isn't coming.

This was my first go-around with fantasy sports and I had way more fun than I thought I woulda. Shout-out to three-six for putting it all together! In a few years, someone will write a book about the inaugural season of the Denver Squirrels and it ain't gonna be pretty. It's gonna make the Bronx Zoo look like a comic book. I'd like to take some time to thank the Squirrels' players, our coaching staff (Rufus, couldn't have done it without ya bro!) and especially our legal department. We'll be back next season fosho! Props to the FREETHROWERS and Go Squirrels!

The wildly beautiful island of Corsica possesses one of the most diverse landscapes in Europe. Miles of untouched coastline, rugged granite peaks, sun-splashed villages, and ancient, mysterious standing stones are among its many enchantments. Sardinia is an island realm with a colorful pageant of folk traditions, churches where Christianity and paganism intermingle, and cuisine and wines that reflect its strong character. Our exquisite hiking journey combines these two cultures with a great mix of coastal and mountain hikes, evocative prehistoric sites, wine and cheese tastings, and a delightful cuisine born of the land and sea.
Excellent trip design with superior hotels and food. The islands themselves were even more beautiful than I had expected from the brochure, and there was an excellent balance of hiking and enjoying our accommodations/towns/hotels.
— Gay T., Fort Myers, FL
Days 1-4
Ajaccio, Corsica / Col de Bavella / Bonifacio
Gorgeous hikes on Corsica bring us among the ancient standing stones at Filitosa and Cauria, to a deserted beach (the wonderful setting for our elegant picnic lunch), and around the mountaintop setting of the Col de Bavella (4,000'). In Bonifacio, we'll hike along limestone cliffs above the sea and enjoy a private lunch at a goat herder's farm, where we'll sample a variety of cheeses, including brocciu, made with fresh goat milk.
Days 5-11
Alghero, Sardinia / Monte Ferru / Sinise Peninsula / Tiscali
In Sardinia, our trails lead along a granite promontory with dramatic bays and sea-sculpted rocks, to a 2,500-year-old stone nuraghe, and through the cork oak forests and herb-scented maquis of Monte Ferru. A hike on the Sinise Peninsula reveals 360-degree views of the dazzling clear blue sea, and after a traditional lunch prepared by local fishermen, we taste wines at the prestigious Contini winery. Our final hikes bring us to mysterious nuraghic ruins tucked in a chasm near the top of Monte Tiscali, and through a remote canyon filled with pink oleander to a tiny half-moon beach accessible only on foot or by boat. Depart on Day 11.
9 hiking days on moderate to strenuous trails, 3-7 hours a day, van support (for luggage or if you wish to skip a day's hike)

What games are you playing now?
View Single Post
October 1st, 2011, 08:20
played a couple hours of Age of Empires Online tonight. I have mixed feelings about it, and I think ultimately I have enough RTS already (havent even played AOE III to it's fullest) to get into it. I had to go a few rounds w/ Games for Windows Live just to get the thing working, so it didnt start on a positive note.
Theyve made an online persistent home city, wherein you level and gather upgrades as you go on standard rts mission style quests. Quest rewards are upgrades, the ability to build spearmen, bowmen, etc. Better troops and tech. Also you get loot, which you can enhance your troops with as well. But as "free to play" things always go, there's a catch. There's some cool stuff that you just cannot use until you upgrade. Granted, it's only 15 bucks or so for the "full" civilization, less than most new games cost, but still…. I dont like them dropping loot you cannot use, strongarm manipulation tactics. It's pretty lame to actually have to buy the full civilization, or additional. Ultimately, it seems a little too "pay to win" for my tastes.
The graphics are totally different than the past "Age Of.." games, cartoony disney looking but they pull it off well. The animations are great and it's a nice looking game. The RTS battles do leave a little to be desired when it comes to unit control tho - no follow/guard command, no setting production building flags to units, no hero units. It's not squad based, so you have to micro all your units. Which is fine, but there's no representation on the interface to easily select and rotate out damaged units, which to me is a big part of being a good RTS player, being able to micro your troops to effectively take down a larger/superior forces just by effective cycling of troops and staying in control of the engagement.
I dont think it's a bad game, just doesnt seem like something I'm interested in investing more time in and it wasnt fun enough to spend money on

She is a 3 year old lab who has only started to have a fear of people when she was one. It's not just with a sertain type of person but with every one that she hasen't known from birth but even then she is still scared of those she does know if she dosent reconize them. This is a serious problem that I need help with or my dog may get taken away. Will you help me? I need to know how to fix this problem and help her deal with her phobia.

I know your pain. I have a six year old Beagle I have the same problem with. I recommend socialization for you dog. One thing you could do is give your visitors a treat to give her. Most dogs are food oriented and if given a treat they are a friend for life. Some this does not work. You could consider some obedience training as well. Most dogs if someone comes in the house the dog goes and sniffs etc... my beagle runs away. What I do because she just happens to be a dog I couldn't brake the cycle with is I let her go to a safety zone such as my room when people come over. I have finally got her to let my sister pet her after years of introductions. However, after the little pet she is ready to get away from her. It also, sounds like the dog is devoted to you. She sees outsiders as a threat to your attention and doesn't like it. I sure hope you don't have to get rid of her because even though my dog is shy... she has turned out to be the best friend I've ever had.

I'd find a qualified professional behaviorist that emphasizes positive methods (ie, you don't want someone who's going to "break" your dog of this problem, you want someone who can help you help her work through her fear and learn some different ways of coping). A dog who has fear aggression and attempts to bite is a very very serious thing---not only could she be taken from you and put down, you could get sued. Talk to your veterinarian about getting a referral to a behaviorist who specializes in fearful and aggressive dogs.

I agree with finding a good behavior specialist to support you, but also, I think you could socialize your dog more if you think you can handle it. If you have friends that she doesnt know or your friends can bring their friends, invite them into the house. Your dog needs to be in the living room or where you seat and talk for a while using a collar and leash. Have her sitting or laying down by your side, she has to be relaxed. Any attempt to bark, growl,jump or bite can be controlled because she is on a leash. Correct this behavior now. Enjoy your guests and talk until you see she is Ok with that, a sign could be that she is in her own little world grooming herself, ignoring people or napping. Do this as often as possible, with different people . As she calms down you will be able to remove the leash and have her indoors while you have guests. The spot you assigned for her to lay down at will become her place and guests dont have to touch her if she doesnt want to. Good luck.

Wow not common for a Lab to be this way!I have worked with dogs for over 30 years.Most of my work has been in the Training area(obedience, hunting,behavior modification&Police dogs)so on that note I would really REALLY reccommend a behaviorist with your Pet&don't be surprised if they reccommend drug therapy.Not a bad thing but it means you will need to work with your Vet as well.As I said before this is not a common thing for a Lab!Please don't expect a quick fix,there is no such thing when it comes 2 reconditioning. I'm talking like a year for retraining.When people say as above that you should do more socializing with your dog,this is something that is done very early in life.The most crutial time is between birth&12 weeks old.Sometime you can get a few things in later in their 1st year but your really setting yourself up for failure if things are put off.Getting your Vet&a qualified behaviorist envolved is going to make things much easier for your dog.Good luck email me if u need 2
