All of today's mainstream database products support the SQL language, and relational theory is what SQL is supposed to be based on. But are those products truly relational? Sadly, the answer is no. In this video, Chris Date—author, lecturer, researcher, and consultant, specializing in relational database technology—shows you what a real relational product would be like, and how and why it would be so much better than what's currently available.
With this video, you will:
There are literally hundreds of resources on relational theory or the SQL language or both. But this video is different. First, nobody is more qualified than Chris Date to deliver this material. He and Ted Codd, inventor of the relational model, were colleagues for many years, and Chris's involvement with the technology goes back to the time of Codd's first papers in 1969 and 1970. Second, most books try to use SQL as a vehicle for teaching relational theory, but this Chris Date deliberately takes the opposite approach in this video. His primary aim is to teach relational theory as such. Then he uses that theory as a vehicle for teaching SQL, showing in particular how that theory can help with the practical problem of using SQL correctly and productively.
Any computer professional who wants to understand what relational systems are all about can benefit from this video. No prior knowledge of databases is assumed.
Chris Date has a stature in the database industry that's unique. He enjoys a reputation that's second to none for his ability to explain complex technical issues in a clear and understandable fashion. His previous books for O'Reilly include SQL and Relational Theory (2nd edition); Database Design and Relational Theory; and View Updating and Relational Theory. The present book serves as an introduction to those previous ones.

If Boredom had a full name...

About Me Developer, Educator
Comments about oreilly Relational Theory for Computer Professionals:
..it would be C.J.Date.Given Date's reputation I approached this "video workshop" with the best of hopes, but I was sorely, severely disappointed. First, it's not a workshop: one guy blabbering for hours and giving a few theoretical exercises once in a while is not a workshop. Not by any means. Date himself calls this "a seminar". I guess he's too snob to call it a class or a tutorial.As if this was not enough, his tone and attitude are unbearable. He patronizingly and pompously goes from obvious to irrelevant with an air of revealing you the deepest secrets of the universe...Second, it's totally useless: Date goes on and on endlessly finnicking about the most irrelevant details of the relational model and whining about how the database world and industry isn't doing everything he likes. Well, at least they are getting something done! To top it all, Date inflicts on his unfortunate listeners a full tutorial on Tutorial D, and alternative language to SQL that of course exist and is implemented only in his mind and in one obscure open source project. You will come out of this "seminar" with zero, I repeat ZERO useful knowledge,since Date takes ages to explain even the most basic concepts like what a key or a join is. And if you have no database experience please do not run away screaming from the field. It's an interesting , fascinating subject that luckily has left Date behind with all his finnicking...Finally, please note that this review doesn't come from a "only practical man". I have a MS in astrophysics, I love learning, I love theory, but I can tell interesting theory that adds to your understanding from boring blabbering about nothing...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Learn relational database degign right
By jaype
from Kenosha, WI
About Me Database Administrator
This is a good set of videos for anyone who has no experience with database design. Here you will learn the proper theory first, which is useful in whatever database you're working with. The quality of the videos is excellent. I like that they are downloadable, though you can watch online if you wish. They are short, none much over 30 minutes, so there are natural breaks.If you've seen C.J.Dates other videos or read his books you can skip this, there's nothing new. But it is still a great resource.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent tutorial to relational theory
By teak
from Jyväskylä, Finland
About Me Designer, Developer
This is my first review of video by O'Reilly. I received this video also free through blogger review program for review purposes. The lecture series goes through mathematical basis of relational theory and how bad SQL is in implementing the relational model and how can you force SQL being relational (this was news to me). Within this 10 hours you also get basics of good database design. Check the table of content of how time is spent in different topics, and don't forget to check the description from there too (it is spot-on).Don't forget to check the preview video. The style of presentation doesn't change so from this preview. Personally I like the minimalist style of slides and the style used by the lecturer. The lecturer was also good speaker and I did not have any problems in understanding the talk. The lecturer also repeats most of the questions presented to him so those are also clearly audible.Before this I did have some basic knowledge on how to use databases and MySQL, but without any real knowledge on what relational model is. Now I know that there is a solid mathematical basis and one can use this basis in design of the databases.There is only one caveat in whole video and it is in the description. You need to know basics of mathematical set theory in order to understand most of the stuff presented, this was not stressed enough in my opinion and in a product costing almost 100$ it should be. The need for understanding basic computer programming is given in the title. I would really love to give 5/5 for this product but I feel forced to take a single point away due to this minor issue in marketing of the product.4/5 (the actual video is 5/5, issue is in the description) with recommending to buy and watch if you have the money and you are interested in databases.
Useful to learn relational systems

About Me DBA, Educator, Sys Admin
Useful too much to help us understand each topic for "what relational systems are all about" easily. You will enjoy with watching and practices, you will learn from questions and answers after finishing each topic, that will help you repeat idea and understand more.If you have a "Relational Theory for Computer Professionals" book, you should have this video as well. If you don't have a book. You should start with this video before.

09 WRX Trans noise
I've noticed a grinding noise that occurs only after driving on the freeway for long trips (~100 miles). I notice it when I pull off the freeway and I'm accelerating normally. It doesn't seem to do it when it's cold. I just changed trans/rear diff fluid to Subaru Extra-S. It did this before the fluid change too. I changed fluid hoping to cure the problem. But no change. Im at about 34,5xx miles. TIA.

'Star Wars' fan helps grow interest in club
MIDLAND, Mich. — Carl Williams' love for the galaxy far, far away started not so long ago, when he was 5 years old. His grandmother had taken him to see "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace."
By the time "Episode II: Attack of the Clones" came out in 2002, he had watched the original trilogy "to near death."
Eight years later, he founded the Reformed Jedi Order as a club at Midland High School. Originally, it was a small group of devoted fans who would watch the movies in depth, exploring every minutia of the films.
After Williams graduated from high school, the group shifted to Facebook. In December of 2011 a member, Matt Baker, suggested holding a light saber fight event. Two other people besides Williams showed up, Scott Comer, a co-worker of Williams, and Nick Kalkman, a friend from high school.
Williams did not host another event until the summer of 2012.
There he saw a dramatic increase, spiking at around 20 people, and then again shrinking into a small but loyal core group.
"I continue to do this out of my love for 'Star Wars,'" Williams told the Midland Daily News.
"Star Wars" was more than just movies for Williams. While the group stayed small throughout his high school years, Williams left a legacy behind by wearing a Yoda costume to school.
"It was a great bridging interest for me to make friends," he said.
Kaylee Coin was someone affected by Williams' legacy. "I was familiar with ('Star Wars') from when I was younger, but at the time I didn't take interest in it; I actually thought it was boring," she said.
However, seeing Williams dress as Yoda heightened her interest, and now she's a loyal member of the Order.
"I found something out about myself ... I actually enjoy 'Star Wars' more than I ever anticipated," she said. "(Each time) I feel like there's something new to learn. Everyone always learns something new when they come back."
Now, RJO holds light saber events on Sundays at 7 p.m., frequenting local parks including Midland City Forest, Stratford Park and Plymouth Park. Because parks close at 11, they usually pack up and move to the Walmart parking lot, where they continue the battles. According to Comer, they aren't concerned with what people think; they just want to have fun.
"Many people argue that 'The Force' isn't real. So what if I can't move objects with my mind?" Williams said. "I'm aware of my surroundings and know my place in the universe, and that is all I need."
PHOTO: Scott Comer, center right, leaned down to make sure that Kaylee Coin is okay after she was hit in the leg during a fight at the Midland City Forest in Midland, Mich. The group has several rules to ensure the safety of the participants, including limiting speed of the swing and areas of contact.

Urban Screen: Creative Use of Media Facades
Urban Screen are a creative collective based in Bremen, Germany. They create interactive installations and performances using facades and architecture as their stage (or screen if you will). The above video shows their approach towards involving architecture. The group usually builds their artwork for a specific building, so they can customize their projections and staging to the given conditions.
Their first step is to measure the outside of the building along with its windows, billboards or any other add-ons. Then the group builds an exact replica of the facade as their stage, and with the help of a green-screen, they create a video performance to be projected on the facade. Urban Screen aims to blend their unique projection with the given architectural surroundings- the result is a playful Augmented Reality projection.
It is interesting to see these kinds of creative media projects that differ so much from what we usually see around the city (huge LCDs and plasma screens). what we are used to from our big cities: huge LCDs and Plasma screens. Projects like Urban Screen, Paint My House and Laser Tag give us hope that more creators are thinking outside the box in this area.

For the whole of art history, women have been both the inspiration for, the subject of, and the creators of, amazing art. From the Venus of Willendorf to Botticelli to Frida Kahlo to Picasso to Cindy Sherman, the list of women as artist subjects and as artists have shaped our world. I have always loved art, and hope the sets will surprise me with new artists to explore, and expose the community to more art! Please include the name of the artist/work you are referencing in the set description.

2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Cedric Thornton, DT, Southern Arkansas
Cedric Thornton has not garnered too much national attention after spending some time at Division II Southern Arkansas. Not surprisingly the 6-3, 309 defensive tackle dominated at that level. In 2009 Thornton had a great year, tallying 80 tackles. That is a lot of tackles for any player, but even more impressive for a defensive tackle. An amazing 23 of those tackles came for a loss and Thornton added 8.5 sacks for good measure. He even forced two fumbles and blocked a couple of kicks.
By 2010 everybody at the Division II level knew that they had to stop Thornton. They usually could not stop him, but he did miss a couple games and constant double teams decreased his overall numbers. He still totaled 52 tackles, 13.0 tackles-for-loss and forced yet another fumble.
The big question heading into the pre-draft workouts was whether or not Thornton could compete with the best the FBS had to offer. During the Senior Bowl he had his chance and did quite well. Even when he was beat, which happened a fair amount of times, Thornton got up and prepared to go at it again. His hustle has endured him to some scouts and after beefing up for the NFL combine, Thornton could sneak into the third or fourth round.

Compass Setting Directions in Youth Development
Junior League Selects Camp Fire as a 2012-2013 Project From a field of 25 applicants, Camp Fire USA First Texas Council has been selected as one of five projects of the Junior League of Fort Worth, Inc. First Texas Council will receive $20,000 in funding and ten volunteers who will be assigned to the Diamond Hill Station child care project. "We are looking forward to the Junior League's support of our out-of-school program, which provides boys and girls, including those with special needs, a secure, nurturing environment while parents have to work," said Susan Morgan, Vice President of Group Services. The volunteers will facilitate social and academic activities, provide homework assistance, and plan off-site educational field trips, among other responsibilities. "Our volunteer team is excited about working with Camp Fire's Diamond Hill Station, which has been an integral part of the Diamond Hill community since 1988," said Meghan Sheehan, Junior League Chair for the project.

Cider making
The basics: Wash and crush the apples, then press the pulp and put the juice in 5-gallon carboys, adding the yeast. Wait about seven days for the cider to ferment and another one to three months to age.
The home cook: Sometimes bounty can be a problem, like the Gravenstein apple tree in publicist Emily Collins Kell's backyard that is laden with fruit in midsummer. You could say that Emily's gourmet art kind of fell into her lap. "You can eat and give away only so much apple butter," she says. So a few years ago, she took on the craft of hard cider. She rented an apple mill and press, then perfected her recipe by adding Champagne yeast to the batches. The cider is ready in time for the holidays, and it's great with rustic, comforting meals.
About that first batch … She borrowed an old grape crusher from a nearby winery, only to have it disintegrate. "So I used a sledgehammer to finish crushing the apples," Emily says. "The result was blisters, a sore back, and a small yield."

It turned into slush within 20 minutes so that was a short-lived experience.
And we drafted our filming schedule today, turns out we have a lot less time than we thought.
Oh well.
Found my way back here after what seems like forever, not much has changed.

Blargh, classes are kicking my butt right now.
I've got a research paper due next week on a large-scale project I've been working on about why local video game companies don't come to career fairs, a game audio project I'm working on with 3 other people that's also due next week, and I have to study for an electrical and computer engineering test this week and a final next week, and I'm a Computer science major. Not to mention, I've got internship interviews with companies during all of this, have to help run a school-side League of Legends Tournament, and I have to prepare for PAX East next week as well.

LMAO, classes cancelled again. My Monday/Wednesday classes have been cancelled for the past 4 days.
Aaaaaaaand classes for tomorrow are cancelled too. The **** man? Back during high school I'd be all over this **** but not now when I'm paying out of pocket for some of my tuition.

I did get some good feedback today on the current draft of said paper, though, and I'm starting to feel a bit better about the chem concepts (and the professor basically told us two of the questions that were going to be on the exam). So all in all, not a bad day.

There's so many wars we've fought, and so many things we're not
But with what we have, I promise you that we're marchin' on
I'm feeling a bit old in this forum. Just have to say that the school were the worst times of my life, since I was a rebellious student and hated going to school, although adored some of my classmates.
Now I'm in another phase of my life, and college and work is much better
But i would like to know, in general, how do you feel about school? Like, you do not like or was it just me?
I ask this because schools in Brazil boring but in places like Canada, Australia or United States is another education system and seems more interesting.
Everyone with your cancelled classes. Oi. If I had more than 1-2 days of class cancelled in college I would be upset. That stuff is way too expensive.

Goodbye vacation.
Everyone from my class said that the vacation went to fast.
I'm that super postive guy who enjoyed every second of it.
We started the day with some modeling in Cinema 4D.
Then I photographed some frames for my stopmotion animation during Audiovisual class.
I made a mindmap and edited an old assignment during school project class.
And I finished most of my lip sync animation during Audiovisual class.
Missed the train home and another train that stops at the same station with WiFi.
I took another train to that station and that's where I am now lol
what the heck i just got a detention for bringing an orange to school and using it to set up puns
orange these teachers supposed to get mad at real offenses
I had a horrible day of classes today. I only had two, but one was chem and we were talking about polyprotic acid titrations, which was very boring. Then I went to my five hour chem lab, where we were using an ion exchange columnto titrate, but the column didn't work, so we did the other assigned titrations and waited to see if the column would start working. It never did. We started prepping it at 12:30 and our TA told us to not worry about it at 5:00. We wasted four and a half hours of the lab watching the ion exchange column fail.
Quite a busy day today, it started with a bit of peer review of each others showreels and websites, then I made a 90 second long edit of one of my camera assessments to send away for my university application. After that I finished the 15 minute long compilation of films showreel for that same application.
Later I began uploading the 2 hour long show I filmed for the head of drama to Google Drive, while waiting for that I continued editing my final project, I definitely have to reshoot some scenes, I'm not happy with it. The main problem is a lamp that shouldn't be visible in one shot, the rest I can live with, but ideally I'd redo the whole thing with better equipment.
When I got home I finished the essay I have to write for that application, it has to be about analysing a scene from a movie from a specific viewpoint. I chose to do it about the visual/audible aspects of the Crazy 88 fight scene from Kill Bill vol 1.
Had my last midterm of the quarter today in o-chem. I was really stressed out about this test beforehand but I think I actually did pretty well. It wasn't absurdly easy but it wasn't impossibly difficult either. Now all I have to worry about before finals is finishing up my research paper and doing a genetics assignment. So happy that this quarter is almost over.

There's so many wars we've fought, and so many things we're not
But with what we have, I promise you that we're marchin' on
All the days are blurring into one continuous day...
So I've got my A2 film draft deadline on Tuesday, we spent most of Monday afternoon filming after a session last Friday afternoon. We reviewed all our footage and discovered that all of Monday's footage was too dark to do anything with so now we have to refilm it tomorrow and finish the rest of it this Friday...and then we have to edit it all together.
My extra-credit film assignment has finally gotten off the ground; we've gotten a filming date and we're just tying up loose ends with the locations, we'll just have to wait and see where that goes.
And then we have my stupid weakness to help those in need coming into play; whilst sat planning my extra credit assignment two of my film studies classmates came in and said "we really need your help" so I agreed to basically be the protagonist in their coursework...despite the fact I cannot act to save my life...but they seem satisfied with my mediocre attempts. I didn't leave college til 5:30pm and then didn't get home til 7pm...
I'm tired...and I want to sleep for a few weeks.
Found my way back here after what seems like forever, not much has changed.
My Tumblr (For all the fangirling trauma and day to day rambles hah)
Another snow day...
At least this time it's on Thursday and I haven't missed my Tuesday/Thursday classes much, yet.

Bay Area Flamenco presents CORAZON FLAMENCO with Lakshmi "La Chimi"
La Peña
Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 8:00 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Celebrate El Día de San Valentín - on Valentine's Day weekend with CORAZON FLAMENCO Direct from Spain!
Bay Area Flamenco presents Lakshmi "La Chimi", David de los Santos, Kina Mendez, José Cortés and Keni el Lebrijano.
Deeply in love with flamenco and the culture of the Andalusian Gypsies, Lakshmi "La Chimi" moved to Spain at age 20. Studying for over ten years with Sevilla's greatest dancers and performing in the local clubs, she developed a strong stage presence and began to be recognized as a special artist. Her hard work, passion and dedication to the art form has garnered recognition from Sevilla's flamenco community. She was given the stage name "La Chimi" (which is simply her own name re-pronounced) by the artists with whom she has shared the stage such as Manuel Molina, Remedios Amaya, Joselito Mendez, Antonio Moya, La Herminia, Carmen Ledesma, Antonio Rey and La Tana. Recently, Lakshmi Basile "La Chimi" made history as the first non-Spanish artist to win an award in the prestigious flamenco contest, the Concurso de las Minas de La Unión (2011). She also was granted an award in another major contest, the Concurso Nacional de Arte Flamenco de Córdoba. There she surprised flamenco critics and received stunning reviews by major critics such as Alberto García Reyes of ABC newspaper who called her performance "…un desgarrador homenaje a los románticos de lo jondo…" ("a heart-wrenching homage to the romantics of pure flamenco"). Continuing to expand her talents, she produced her own critically acclaimed show in Spain last year, entitled Zarabanda, Lo Que Duerme en el Cuerpo de los Gitanos. The esteemed poet and flamenco historian, Felix Grande said of Lakshmi: "Su baile es una alegria conquistada" (her dance is a conquered happiness). After ten years in Spain, Lakshmi has solidly established her career in Sevilla at the epicenter of today's flamenco. She performs daily as a soloist at El Palacio Andaluz in Sevilla and has a large following of dance students. She also appears with major flamenco artists at private parties and festivals throughout the year. Her international touring has included Germany, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco, Portugal, Great Britain and Denmark. Angel Ojeda, former minister of La Junta de Andalucia, the region's governing body, says that "La única cosa Americana que tiene es su pasaporte" (the only American thing about her is her passport). But in truth Lakshmi feels a strong connection to her roots in California where she was born and raised and much to our delight, she comes back every year to share with her audiences at home, to teach workshops and to collaborate with fellow California-based flamencos.
Traveling from Spain with La Chimi comes David de los Santos, a flamenco singer born in Seville. His maternal grandparents were from Moron de la Frontera. He loved cante as a young boy and began singing while still a child. At age 15, he began working for various dance schools in Seville and flamenco venues, such as Tablao Arenal, Cristina Hoyos Museum, La Carboneria, Peña Torres Macarena, La Perla de Cadiz and Peña La Platería in Granada. He worked in Tokyo at Tablao Flamenco for six months in the show "Entre Lebrija y Morón…Sevilla". Currently David de los Santos works with some of flamenco's top artists such as Paco Fernandez. He sings for dance in contests and festivals such as La Unión with Soraya Clavijo (Premio Nacional de Baile) in 2011 and with El Nano (lead dancer in company Cristina Hoyo) in 2012; the VIII Festival de Jóvenes de Andalucía (Andalusia Youth Festival), XXIII Festival de Arte Flamenco in Extremadura, etc. In his touring career he worked in Switzerland, Germany, Morocco and Japan. Throughout the year he appears at events such as Miércoles a Compás, Circuitos de Peñas de Guardia, Compás 4x4 de la XV Bienal de Flamenco, Jueves Flamencos de Cajasol, etc…. sharing the stage with different companies, solo artists and flamenco stars, to name a few; El Oruco, Pili Ortega, Juan Polvillo, Miguel Vargas Company, La Turronera, Sergio Gonzalez, Francis Nunez, La Chimi, Esperanza Fernandez, Eugenio Iglesias, Antonio Moya, Carmen Ledesma and Curro Fernandez.

Mixing paint colors and paint brands
The wife and I have painted 90% of our house using glidden paint from Home Depot. We either pick a glidden color or have had great luck with making them look up the color code vs color matching. BM, SW and even restoration hardware, but that's another story.
It's been 5x5 until recently when we a) ran into a crotchety employee who didn't want to look up the colors and then b) two bad color matches (whites turning out pink??).
For our last room, the wife loves a valspar color. We even bought a valspar sample which we never do. This is the big kahuna as this is in the living room. She is insisting we get the paint from lowes because she has lost faith in the color matching process at hd and wants this to be perfect.
So here is my question(s).
Am I crazy for taking color a to store b
is using a looked up code better than scanning?
Any tips for buying paint at lowes?
We do it old school with real primer. Never had a good experience with behr. Glidden or bust so very nervous.
Personally- I would either go with the co that made the color- or go to paint professionals, which I do not consider the counter help at a box store. They can follow directions and make their paint, but unless you personally know the person to be a real good matcher- ( actually goes for the pro shops too).
The machine color match can only get close, then it is the experience of the matcher to close it in.
The BM store here is usually spot on when matching other brands. A lot of the time it is already in the computer.
As matt said, most colors can easily be matched at a real paint store
Thanks. In the battle of time vs money vs quality, I will look into a pro shop. If that doesn't fit into the above and I need to go to lowes, which brand am I best off going with?
Trust me (and everyone else who has advised you so far) DO NOT go to Lowe's for color matching. I went there twice because customers wanted Valspar paint. Each time the color was mixed wrong. This is costly as the customer is paying me for my time and gas to do this task. Go to Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore. They have paint to fit every budget. They normally have someone that is great at color matching not to mention they have computer color matching........in 30+ years of going to SW for color matching I cannot recall a single time that the color was botched......now that's a damn good track record.
my every day paint is sherwin williams :yes:.i think im in the minority here but i think theres nothing wrong with valspare or behr.but i agree when it comes to color matching go to a real paint store .
The neat thing about dealing with independently owned paint stores is you don't necessarily have to sacrifice one (money) for the other (quality). And that plays out on 2 levels...(1) the cost of paint at an independent dealer may surprise you to find that they can be very competitive with big boxes on a quality vs. quality basis, and equally important, (2) factor in the advice and expertise delivered by an independent - your job will go much smoother with less surprises, and you should walk out of the dealer with the proper advice on surface preparation and product application, the proper tools for maximum performance, and realistic expectations of what this coating/application/project should provide (which, ultimately, results in fewer trips to supplier, longer lasting/better performing finishes, and an overall more pleasant painting experience).
I think you're pretty close to Pontiac, Michigan - visit the guys at Pontiac Paint and let them walk you through your project - great paint people & a really good product selection...You also should be close to a number of Graham Paint dealers (dealer locator at their website). Graham has some of the best products in the industry (IMO), but you're gonna pay the price for 'em. Good luck to you and let us know what you end up doing.
Thanks for the advice. the issue is not so much the price, although I have a philosophical issue with paying 60 bucks a gallon for paint. Really its more of a convenience factor. HD is 5 minutes from my house, the closest pro I trust is in another town. there is a SW store down the street, but they are too expensive. I wont do it. I may make my wife go get the paint from the pros in our home town I trust (she works in town), but you know how it is, she doesnt want to screw it up.
I guess I never realized that people have such issues with matching paint at the big box stores. Until we went to have samples made this weekend we were always really proud of our ability to take any color to HD and get it made correctly and in our color. We had these really rich valspar colors made earlier this year and they came out great in the glidden paint we like to use. we even found some obscure glidden color in one of the massive books that we liked and they found it no problem.
HD seems to have a pretty robust electronic matching database, and I really never let them use the chromograph because of it. the only issues we had was the one time we used the chromograph to match a restoration hardware color. I had read online that people had issues matching it from the fan deck, but we gave it a shot. It kept coming out in shades of pink (it was an ash grey). Oh well. I found that colormatch cross reference site which is pretty cool and has closest to colors but we never tried it.
I digress. Here is the other issue we had, using a glidden card, scanned instore to look up the color, the sample came out pink as well. luckily we had a sample made earlier in the year which I had forgotten about. So now you cant trust their own paint. Like I said, this is the first time in 2 years and about 40 paint samples (our basement is becoming a joke with all the paint) we've had that problem.
TL;DR - thanks for the advice. We will try to do better than HD. Will not go to lowes. May have them just try it at HD and if it doesnt match, we will go to a pro.
jgold, SW has paint for $70 per gallon. They also have quality paint for $25 - $30 per gallon. Valspar at Lowe's is anywhere from $25 - $40 per gallon. I guess I'm not seeing the price differences you are seeing. Ask SW about any sales going on, clip some coupons in your weekly coupon section of your local paper. I would almost bet you could get a gallon of SW for the same or LOWER price of Valspar at Lowes.........with the added bonus of better quality and experts to help you with color matching, etc. Give it a shot.........if you don't like what SW has to offer, then, by all means, head over to Lowe's.
no lowes my friend.
and to me 70 vs 30 is a big spread. At 2 or 3 gallons, thats a lot.
When you add up all the discounts at Sherwin Williams a person would be foolish to use Lowes products,here's an example.
There's a cupon for 30% off plus you get another 10% off for being a preferred customer,plus another cupon for $10.00 off a purchase of $50.00 dollars or more,add them all up and your at the same price of Lowes with a superior product.
hmm - can you point me to said coupons?
A small, independent dealer can least afford mis-matched piles of paint, therefore they do matches with great care. Like Brushjockey points out, they go beyond the computer and zero in on the color. Real paint company stores do that too. (PPG, S-W, etc.)

U.S. Senator Angus S. King, Jr. (I-Maine), a member of the Senate Budget Committee, released the following statement after the Committee formally unveiled its budget blueprint today for the upcoming fiscal year:
"Since arriving in the Senate in January, I have been working to craft a budget resolution for the first time in four years. I believe the blueprint unveiled by the Committee's majority today establishes a responsible, balanced approach to addressing our nation's long-term economic health by including an equal mix of spending reductions and revenue increases that, when taken together, chart a serious and credible path forward.
"While I'm pleased with the progress we have made, I nonetheless realize that there are reservations on both sides of the aisle. This debate is ultimately and most fundamentally about the role and size of American government. As an Independent, I see value on both sides of the debate as well as the good intentions of the Senators making their respective arguments. No one doubts that we all share the same goal, which is to achieve a successful and prosperous America. We are working hard to arrive at a point where we have a solution in hand, and moving forward I remain committed to creating a budget that successfully creates jobs and grows our economy while at the same time addresses our long-term fiscal health."

Scope and Content Note
Hangar and training aircraft at the Lakeland
(later Lodwick) School of Aeronautics
The Albert I. Lodwick Papers were donated to the Special Collections unit of the Lakeland Public Library in increments from the mid-1980's to 1992. The records were in a variety of formats and were in no particular order when received. At some point a decision was made to separate the photographs and negatives from the manuscript materials and to create a number of photographic record groups known collectively as the Lodwick Field Photos (numbered P700, P710, and P715). Examples of the photographs from the various groups accompany this narrative description of the Lodwick Papers.
The records described herein document to some extent the professional career of Lakeland businessman Albert I. Lodwick, particularly his involvement in the aviation industry. There are many gaps and the record is incomplete, but the extant records provide an overview of Lodwick's career.
The collections totals 4.25 linear feet. After processing, the records were divided into seven series as follows:
Series I, Subject Files;
Series II, Correspondence;
Series III, Curtiss-Wright Corporation;
Series IV, Howard Hughes;
Series V, Lodwick School of Aeronautics;
Series VI, Lodwick Aircraft Industries;
Series VII, Memorabilia.

dog lover or not, the fact is that dog needs to either go or be locked up.
This is a discussion on Situational eye opener..... within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Before anyone gets uppity i am a dog lover i only have dogs because im allergic to cats.... So my brother and I hung out ...
Before anyone gets uppity i am a dog lover i only have dogs because im allergic to cats....
So my brother and I hung out all day along with my 2 year old niece, and we had just arrived home from the tire store down the road. When we got to his house my niece was behind me on the passenger side of his extended cab chevy i unfastened her car seat and turned around to set her down as soon as i did i heard snarling and something running very fast and snatched her up....the mexicans next door have a pitbull(yes it is a pit bull and not some other kind of dog) and it was off its chain and ran out of the gate and went after her Ryan and another neighbor across the street ran over started to make it back away... I wasnt OCing(which is rare) and since i was holding her in my left hand i couldnt get to my pistol in my left pocket and i wasnt gonna set her down it stopped less than 3 feet from me in the yard. Ryan threw something at the dog and a neighbor from across the street charged the dog and they drove it back in the fence.. i told the family to put the dog on a chain(they tied it up just on a rope which could easily be chewed through and no one in the house heard the commotion) I then called the Brunswick Police non emergency line and had them dispatch an officer to take an incident report and he said animal control would be by Monday to talk to them once again. The dogs owner i dont believe is the family living next door but someone who has moved in with them and Ryan has seen them getting the dog to lock on to a rope and letting it hang from the rope in its mouth to strengthen the jaw of the dog.....
We just now returned from florida and the dog charged the fence but they had parked a truck against the gate to keep it from pushing it over but it was definitely off of its rope
lesson learned never carry anything on your strong side you cannot drop instantly!!!

You have just learned why I like to carry at least two guns of fight stopping caliber at a minimum.
It's about accessability if one hand is, like in this case for you, occupied with other duties. I won't comment on ways to eradicate the world of problem dogs, as it's more a situation of problem owners. From your description the owners of this dog are at least that.
The jaw stregnthening tactic of having the pit hang from a rope is common among your lower class peons that deal drugs or engage in dogfighting. I'm glad you and your niece are OK. Take care, stay safe and watch your six. If you do end up engaging the dog when it attacks you or a family member, be prepared to engage the owners of the dog as well. Maybe on the same day, at the same time, or at a later date.

carry all the time. do not block your draw.
you know the threat now. prepair for it.
in my area a dog charging you is a justified shoot.
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution, which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." -1792, James Madison

Not everyone wants to carry a BUG but if you do, I agree, carry it on your off side and learn to shoot it with your off hand.
I feel bad for the dog, it's not it's fault. Now the owner... I'd better not comment.
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
Just remember, if you do have to shoot, it's a fast moving, not necessarily straight lined attack. CHECK beyond your target. You may (more than likely will) still get bit, and that might be the best time to shoot if you don't have a clear target before, close up contact shot. Watch for ricochet possibilities. Shoot till the threat stops. Watch for owners. Call 911 ASAP and keep your eyes open.

A similar thing happened to me when my son was a four year old child, but the outcome was somewhat different.
I was over at my mom's house to dog-sit for her neighbor's dog, strictly as a favor to my mom (she ran a dog-sitting business, but was not home at the time), when suddenly and unexpectedly as my child bent down to pet the apparently docile animal, the dog growled viscously. The dog then instantly (like lightening) bit my son's face multiple times. My child's blood seemed everywhere, with gashes right near his left eyeball, coming very close to ripping it out.
I wanted to shoot that POS dog right then and there -- right where it stood -- and I wanted to do it in the worst possible way; so much so that I could taste it. (Or, even better yet, beat it to death with my bare hands; something -- anything -- that hurts your child will kind of bring that out in a person; people with small children will better understand that violent protective emotion).
The only thing that stopped me from instantly killing that &%$# dog was that I had promised to take good care of it, and my mother was also 100% responsible for its welfare if anything happened to it (including the possible loss of her business/reputation).
But if that had been some strange dog, or even my own dog, I would have gladly sent it to doggy Hell in the blink of an eye with my Python, or had my boot crashing down on its friggin' trachea (Yea, I'm still PO'ed about it, even after twenty years! )
PS: I then grabbed my child and drove him, at speed, to the hospital emergency room, where they patched him up with multiple stitches. (BTW, the woman who owned that crazy damn dog didn't even want to pay the relatively minor emergency room fees for stitching up my child's face. Ain't some people a real hoot?).
Bill, I commend you for your outstanding self-control not shooting the dog and hear you on the outrage you still feel about it. It would be a terrible thing to see, as a parent.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Irresponsible dog owners are a huge problem. I was attacked by 2 pitbulls at the same time a week before I got married (about 17 years ago) and the pure terror is something I'll never forget. I was on the sidewalk of our soon-to-be house when the neighbors dogs came around the corner of the house and trapped me in a stairwell with nothing but a broom to fend them off. I ended up with some bloody hands before the owner came outside and called them off. My gun was in the house and I couldn't turn and get up the 4 stairs. I called the police, animal control, went to town council meetings, etc. and in the end they were told to keep them on a leash. I told the Chief of Police that I was going to OC in my yard mowing, going to the mailbox, taking out trash, etc. and if they came in my yard again they were toast. He said no problem. A few months later, we moved...I just couldn't get past it.
As a result of my experience, I'm not necessarily a dog person, but I am an animal person. Once something happens in your own yard, it's difficult to feel safe. Be prepared at all times, and be safe.
I hope nothing else happens. When it comes down to animals or the safety of you and your family, the animals have to suffer the consequence of the irresponsibility of their owners.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
Very true. A dog running at speed will be a challenging target. Especially since you will have almost no time to react unless they start barking from a distance.Just remember, if you do have to shoot, it's a fast moving, not necessarily straight lined attack
Raising your arm horizontally across your body and allowing a bite on your forearm may be your best option. With your free hand you can cover the dogs snout, blocking any air, and hold it there until it passes out or lets go. If your going to get bit, try to make it work to your advantage.
