Description: "A government that truly represents these Americansthat truly serves these Americanswill require a different kind of politics. That politics will need to reflect our lives as they are actually lived. It won't be pre-packaged, ready to pull off the shelf. It will have to be constructed from the best of our traditions and will have to account for the darker aspects of our past. We will need to understand just how we got to this place, this land of warring factions and tribal hatreds. And we'll need to remind ourselves, despite all our differences, just how much we share: common hopes, common dreams, a bond that will not break." fromThe Audacity of Hope In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners' minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Senator Obama called "the audacity of hope." Now, inThe Audacity of Hope, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politicsa politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the "endless clash of armies" we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of "our improbable experiment in democracy." He explores those forcesfrom the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the mediathat can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment. At the heart of this book is Senator Obama's vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threatsfrom terrorism to pandemicthat gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracywhere it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories about family, friends, members of the Senate, even the president, is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus. A senator and a lawyer, a professor and a father, a Christian and a skeptic, and above all a student of history and human nature, Senator Obama has written a book of transforming power. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, he says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes"waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them." From the Hardcover edition.

Based on this proposed mechanism, extracts of the plant have been used to treat painful menstruation, hot flashes, and headaches associated with menopause.

Oprah's Still Got It
While some see Oprah's fire walk as a publicity stunt to save OWN's plummeting ratings, I see it as a sign that she hasn't changed at all. She's still the badass that took over daytime television and she intends to stay that way. She wouldn't be Oprah if she didn't come onstage with a wagon of fat, or live as a colonial woman for a week, or go on a road trip with Gayle, her not-lesbian lover. That is what Oprah does. She goes big. She makes noise. She goes to Anthony Robbins' "Unleash Your Power Within" seminars and walks on hot coals to prove that those who achieve greatness take action. I refuse to hate on that. Mind over matter, girl! Show those coals who's boss! [Limelife]

TAMPA — Seminole emerged from a pitchers' duel between Nick Nolan and Jesuit's Spencer Trayner, the Warhawks toppling the nationally ranked Tigers 2-1 on a sacrifice fly in the 10th Saturday.
"It's no coincidence that this game was scheduled for the end of the regular season," Warhawks coach Jeff Pincus said. "This is what we will have to do to advance in districts and regionals. It was an excellent test."
Though the Warhawks loaded the bases in the first inning, and the Tigers scored first in the second inning, both pitchers dug in. Trayner went 10 innings, surrendering five hits and five walks with seven strikeouts. Seminole starter Nolan went eight innings, giving up one run on six hits and four walks with three strikeouts. He turned the game over to fellow senior Tyler Craft, who struck out three in relief.
"I was going to (pull Nolan) an inning earlier, but I was afraid Nick might rip my head off," Pincus said. "But that's where he (Craft) lives (in relief); he's unflappable."
The Tigers got their run when junior Ricky Caldevilla singled with two outs and went to second on a wild pitch. Senior Daniel Portales (2-for-4) then hit a pitch back over the mound, the ball taking a high hop into centerfield and giving Caldevilla enough time to score.
The Warhawks got the run back in the sixth on senior catcher Michael Mann's homer, which bounced on top of the wall and over.
"It was just adrenaline the whole time," Mann said. "I wasn't trying to do too much with it, just hit it for a single. That's probably the most memorable moment of my high school career so far."
In the 10th, Warhawks senior Alex McGathey legged out his second infield hit of the game leading off and then stole second. After Corey Baptist and Scott Withrow drew walks to load the bases with one out, sophomore Chris Berry flied deep to left to score McGathey from third.

Dear Merle, I have read with interest your many fine articles on migration
and the most recent on Anabaptist history, You do a fine job interpreting
this interesting background. I have just had visitors in my home from
Schwarzenau. I met them when I visited there about 10 years ago. Her maiden
name was Cassel and they think their ancestor Andreas Cassel was a brother to
my ancestor Yellis Cassel who left there and came to America in 1727.
Andreas managed to marry a woman with some property so didn't feel the
impetus to leave as his brothers did. Cassels of course came from Kreigsheim,
but there does seem to be some evidence that they spent some time in
Wittgenstein as refugees before leaving Europe. Do you have any information
that would confirm this?

Normally of good balance, I found myself reaching for the handrail, unable to clasp it for the refreshments in my hands.
Every handrail, elevator button, and door handle becomes a pathway for spreading disease.
The ramp is wobbly, and Clarkson grasps the handrail to steady herself and laughs.
In the first place, the narrow, almost perpendicular ladder without a handrail is peculiarly unsuited for the use of women.
The bottom bamboo serves as a bridge, and the top one as a handrail.
Dick found a handrail and groped his way up around a spiral staircase, four flights of it.
One of the men went to the footbridge and tore off the handrail.
There was a strictly improvised cage to ascend in—planks and a handrail forming an insecure platform that might hold four people.
The conductor leaned down after her, hanging to the handrail.

BS to the gun control diversion of blaming the mentally ill and violent movies and games.
We have always had mentally ill people and violent movies and games (which i don't like or view) but mentally ill people seldom had access to the type of weapons like they do now. And movies and games don't shoot people. People with guns shoot people!!

3. yep the old days
When we had very few gun laws.
Guns were common in schools with teachers and students storing them for hunting or even working on then in metal shop.
When mentally ill people were more closely monitored.
When there was a much higher percentage of two parent households.
Before violent video games.
Before violent blood and guts movies.
But mainly before we started giving out kids drugs from the shrinks that are known to increase thoughts of homicide and suicide by 10 to 12 times. Many of the children who are medicated with these drugs have no mental problems at all. They have behavioral problems because they have never been taught to sit down, shut up, and respect parents and teachers.
Before all of this we had no school shootings at all.
Before all of this guns were accepted almost everywhere and we didn't have the school shooting problems we do now.
The M-16 platform did not magically appear yesterday. The semi-automatic AR-15 version of that platform have been around since the early 1970's and we didn't have the school shooting problems then either.
There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle but what is clear is that the guns alone did not make this problem and do not cause it today.

4. My where to start
While you got partial points for the structural violence, you are conflating with mirror. By your logic South Korea should have a mass shooting a day.

6. One thing is absolutely true: without a gun you can't shoot someone. A two-year old might be alive
today in Tenn. had his granddad not had a gun. At least the kid would not have been accidentally shot.


text: The Senior Bowl buzz about safety Jonathan Cyprien of Florida International is legit. The kid has range on the backend but he can also work down in the box. Assignments seem sure and when he is asked to cover, he can do the job. Only saw one play where he was out of position but rallied to get back in shape. Will need to check his awareness when ball went to the outside and he appeared a little late to find it but other than that was just fine. Like McDonald looking forward to see the physical side of the game but will have to check his college tape for sure. Defensive tackle Sylvester Williams is a load inside. Is a hard guy to deal with when he is on the move. He plays with power and some upper body strength. Would be a fit as that one technique in the Cowboys scheme. Saw some late pass rush moves to free himself but will need more training in this area because did see a couple plays in team where he was single blocked on the pass. Like the way he handled the run at. Kawann Short of Purdue is another guy to keep your eye on. There were questions about his motor and if he would play all the time but I am not seeing that now. Like Williams he has been in the backfield a bunch during the 9-on-7 period. He too plays with power and is a taller player than Williams. There was some great matchups between offensive tackle Eric Fisher and defensive end Datone Jones of UCLA. Both players went back and forth causing each problems. Fisher is very good with his feet which has given the ends trouble but Jones has played with explosiveness which gave Fisher some trouble. The ability for Jones to get on Fisher quickly didn't allow him to get a set on him and he was able to carry him back into the backfield a couple of times. Fisher got him a couple of times on cut off blocks but when Jones got free, he was able to chase from the backside. Jones would be a nice fit as the weakside end or where Ware plays on the backside because of his ability to run. Texas wide receiver Marquise Goodwin turned some heads on Monday with his ability to get open http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/a...9dc?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

WEST BROMWICH, England – Papiss Demba Cisse scored twice as Newcastle won 3-1 at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday to maintain its push for a top-four finish in the Premier League and a Champions League berth.
Cisse scored in the sixth and 34th minutes around Hatem Ben Arfa's goal on a solo effort in the 12th. Substitute Shane Long scored for the hosts in the 52nd after a defensive mixup.
Cisse has five goals in six league games since joining Newcastle in January from Germany's Freiburg.
Newcastle (14-8-8) trails fifth-place Chelsea (14-8-8) on goal difference, five points behind fourth-place Tottenham (16-7-7), which is in the last Champions League spot but is winless in five matches.
•Rangers prevented Celtic from clinching the Scottish Premier League title, beating its rival 3-2 in a typically heated Old Firm match in which American defender Carlos Bocanegra was among three players ejected.
Three-time defending champion Rangers, who also started American midfielder Maurice Edu, built a 3-0 lead at Ibrox on goals by Sone Aluko in the 11th minute, Andy Little in the 72nd and Lee Wallace in the 77th.
Celtic defender Cha Du-Ri was sent off in the 28th for a professional foul and midfielder Victor Wanyama in the 57th for a studs-first lunge. Celtic manager Neil Lennon was dismissed for reportedly abusing match officials at halftime.
Bocanegra, the U.S. national team captain, was sent off in the 88th minute for a foul on Georgios Samaras, which led to Scott Brown's penalty kick a minute later. Thomas Rogne got the final goal in the second minute of stoppage time.
There have been 19 ejections in the last 21 matches between the rivals.
Celtic (24-3-4) has an 18-point lead over Rangers (21-6-4), who were penalized 10 points for filing for bankruptcy protection. Celtic can clinch when it hosts St. Johnstone next weekend.
•American midfielder Michael Bradley was a part of both goals as Chievo Verona tied visiting Siena 1-1 in Milan.
Francesco Acerbi put Chievo ahead in the ninth minute following Bradley's corner kick. Bradley's header to his own goalkeeper was picked up by Siena's Mattia Destro, who scored in the 51st minute.
Lazio (15-8-6) moved into third place, defeating visiting Cagliari 1-0 when Modibo Diakite headed in Cristian Ledesma's free kick in the 88th minute.
Napoli (12-5-12) is three points back and even with Udinese (13-7-9) after wasting a two-goal lead and being held to a 2-2 tie by visiting Catania.
After goals by Blerim Dzemaili in the 61st and Edinson Cavani in the 67th built a lead for Napoli, Nicolas Spolli scored in the 75th and Davide Lanzafame tied it in the 80th, two minutes after entering.
Second-place Juventus (14-0-14), which trails defending champion AC Milan (19-4-6) by seven points, hosted Inter Milan in the night game.
•Malaga moved into fourth place by rallying for a 2-1 at Espanyol.
After Philippe Coutinho's 24th-minute goal put the hosts ahead, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored in the 76th and Martin Demichelis in the 78th as the Andalucians won for the fifth time in six games.
Malaga (14-10-5) is even with third-place Valencia (13-7-8) at 47 points.
•Toulouse climbed above Lyon into fourth place in the French league, beating last-place Auxerre 1-0 on Franck Tabanou's 38th-minute goal.
Toulouse is 5-0-1 in its past six league games, conceding only one goal.
Paris Saint-Germain (17-3-8), which trailed first-place Montpellier (18-5-6) by one point, hosted Bordeaux at night.
•Shinji Kagawa scored two goals and set up two others, helping Borussia Dortmund to a 6-1 win at Cologne that extended its club-record league unbeaten streak to 21 games and reopened a five-point lead over second-place Bayern Munich n the Bundesliga.
After Milivoje Novakovic put the hosts ahead in the 13th minute, Lukasz Piszczek tied it in the 26th. Kagawa scored in the 47th and 80th, and Dortmund also got goals from Robert Lewandowski in the 52nd and Ilkay Guendogan in the 79th off Kagawa setups, and Ivan Perisic scored in the 84th.

Video Doctor - pop culture distorted through a lens of personal experience
Tim Stone
Video Doctor, an exhibition currently showing at Arts Project Australia in Melbourne, takes its name from the process of cleaning a VHS player in order to restore picture quality.
Curator Geoff Newton, of Neon Parc Gallery, has adopted the idea of head cleaning to present a disrupted vision of the detritus of popular culture. Prior to 1997 and the widespread uptake of the DVD format, if you wanted to watch videos and valued picture quality, the process of head-cleaning was a necessary one. Here the head may be clean, but the images on show of pop culture, of video games, blockbusters, and kids TV, are all a bit skewed, all altered in some way.
"Most of the artists in Video Doctor grew up during the 70s and 80s, and like many of us, video culture, computer games and movies have been a big part of their lives," says Newton.
Video Doctor is an international collaboration between New York-based media art organisation, Electronic Arts Intermix, and Melbourne based disability arts advocacy organisation Arts Project Australia.
"I'd been discussing the idea of a collaboration with Arts Project Australia and Electronic Arts Intermix for some time. The title and the idea of the show comes from the slippage that happens in the [video] medium," adds Newton.
"I've always been a big fan of the artists at Arts Project Australia. I've collaborated with a couple of their artist before Video Doctor and I'm working on a another project with one of their artists later in the year, but this is the first major exhibition we've worked on together."
Established in 1974, Arts Project Australia is an organisation that fosters the work and career opportunities of artists with intellectual disabilities. The Arts Project Australia studio and gallery, located in the inner Melbourne suburb of Northcote, provides artists with a place to work, professional guidance and a place to exhibit and sell their work. The goal of the organisation is to present artist's work in a manner that affords them the same dignity and respect as their non-disabled peers.
What unites the artworks in Video Doctor is the distortion of popular culture through the lens of personal experience.
Much of the work seems to dispute the idea that the consumption of popular culture is a one way transaction. Instead it offers evidence that perhaps none of us are unable to passively consume pop culture without altering it somehow.
Video Doctor runs 20 April - 28 May 2013 at Arts Project Australia and includes work by Cory Arcangel, Nicholas Capaldo, Valerio Ciccone, Boris Cipusev, Leo Cussen, Wendy Dawson, Paul Hodges, Adrian Lazzaro, Jodie Noble, Daniel Pace, Paper Rad, Steven Perrette, Rebecca Scibilia, Catherine Staughton and Tim Williams.

FLORENCE – Francis Marion University senior, Melissa Freeman of Mullins, made an overview presentation to the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce recently on the "Economic and Social Effects of State Lotteries." The research she conducted to produce the report and presentation were part of her senior English internship at FMU. Freeman is majoring in English, in the Applied track, which is a professional writing program.
Lynn Hanson, Ph.D, assistant professor of English at FMU, served as Freeman's internship director. "Business Writing and Technical Communication". The new writing major at FMU is two years old and seeks to provide students a solid background in literature and scholarly writing, while emphasizing communication skills for the work place, Hanson says.
The skills learned in the English major are transferable to any job. Whether a graduate of the program goes on to conduct legislative research, marketing research, business product research, or to write training manuals, the degree focuses on writing for the professions, and equips students to handle professional communications from memos and in-house newsletters to product guides and industry reports.
In addition to the "real-world" experience of producing a top-quality project, Freeman was also interested in her findings. Freeman is sending a copy of her timely report to the Senate Education Committee in the South Carolina Legislature.
According to her research, of the states with lotteries, crime rates are unlikely to be changed simply because of the addition of a state lottery. Also, Freeman says, it is unlikely money alone, even if it comes from a lottery, improves education. No state with a lottery, according to her research, can conclusively point to the lottery as improving education.
A fascinating fact for Freeman was discovering the history of lotteries, especially in the United States. Lotteries are neither evil or good, she says, adding that she doesn't believe them to be a moral issue. In fact, lotteries once were used to build churches and colleges in early American history.
One real issue she discovered in her research is that as money from lotteries goes toward education, invariably funding from state sources decreases. For more information about FMU's English, applied track, degree, contact Lynn Hanson at 843-661-1524.

Dates: March 28th, 2012 - April 5th, 2012
Ministry Focus: Construction work on the House of Joy & Ministry in the evenings with the village children.
Why I'm Going: I'm going to Romania to serve because I want to tell the people there about Jesus. I think it's a great opportunity that I get to go to Romania with my school share God's Word there. I'm excited to help with the House of Joy and to spread joy to the people of Romania.
How to pray for me: God to provide the finances; That I will be open to hear from The Lord; That God be glorified.
First, thank you for taking the time to learn more about my trip to Romania. I consider it a privilege to be able to go and serve. I'd greatly appreciate your support in this journey.
So how can you help? First, pray - it is the greatest contribution you can make. Second, if you can, prayerfully consider making a financial contribution. No matter the amount, it will make a difference. And finally, if you are able to help by collecting some of the items that I'm collecting to take and deliver, I'd be so appreciative.
Thanks for your support and God bless you.
- For team leadership.
- Safe travels to Romania and during their time in Romania.
- Trip details to fall into place (lodging, transportation, meals, etc.).
- Safety in working on the House of Joy fence project.
- For fun times with children in the villages and at the orphanage.
- Financial assistance to purchase groceries for families in need.
- Clothing, shoes, socks, underwear, etc.
- Non-expired medicine.
- Band-Aid's.
- Antibiotic and itch creams.
- Advil, Tylenol (children & adult).
A few years ago the students at Northlake Christian school held a fundraiser in which they raised money that was donated to the House of Joy Association in Susani, Romania. These funds helped to purchase a section of land for the House of Joy property. Now, many of these students are high school seniors and to culminate their high school career they, along with other classmates, will travel to Susani to see what has been built on the land and to help with the construction of a fence around the property as the work continues toward the completion of the House of Joy campus.

Most significant signing: The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't wait long to get younger and faster in the secondary as they lured Mike Mitchell away from the Carolina Panthers with a five-year, $25 million contract. Mitchell, who turns 27 in June, will replace Ryan Clark at free safety, and the Steelers are hoping they added a playmaker to a defense that intercepted 10 passes last season, tied for the third-fewest in the league. Mitchell, who picked off four passes in 2013, has the speed to cover ground in the secondary and is also a good blitzer. Did everything come together for him last season because he played on a defense that led the NFL with 60 sacks or was the jump he made a natural progression for a player with an impressive skill set? The Steelers are banking on the latter.
Most significant loss: Steelers fans grumbled about Emmanuel Sanders and his lack of consistency, but his signing with the Broncos cost them a starter and left them Kleenex thin at wide receiver. Second-year man Markus Wheaton is the most experienced wide receiver on the roster after Pro Bowler Antonio Brown but he played just 157 snaps last season. Jerricho Cotchery, who led the Steelers with 10 touchdown receptions last season, is no lock to return. The 10-year veteran is visiting Carolina and it could be a good fit for both sides. The Panthers needs wide receivers in the worst way and Cotchery badly wants the chance to play in a Super Bowl.
Biggest surprise: The Steelers probably anticipated losing Ziggy Hood but they couldn't have predicted that Hood and Al Woods would sign with other teams so early in free agency. The losses of those defensive ends left the Steelers in need of sheet bodies at the position, and yet it didn't seem like they were any more inclined to bring back 12-year veteran Brett Keisel for one more season. Maybe that changes if they don't land Alex Carrington, who visited the Steelers last Friday but is also meeting with other teams before signing somewhere.
What's next: The Steelers are less than $3 million under the salary cap, which means they have to free up more cash since the $8.58 million they saved this year by releasing outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley doesn't become available to them until after June 1. Inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons could be on deck as far as a contract restructure. His base salary in 2014 is $6.75 million, according to ESPN Stats & Information, and the Steelers can lower his cap number ($11.82 million) by converting a big chunk of that into a signing bonus. The Steelers could also reduce Jason Worilds' cap hit of $9.754 million by signing the outside linebacker to a long-term contract.

|DEOBAND MOVEMENT And its Repercussions in Modern India
by R. Upadhyay 23/12/2010
Today there are eleven top Deobandi institutions and these include
(Source- Wickipaedia)
The pre-Islamic past of India is a common heritage of all the Indians irrespective of their present religion. But the Arabian descendents who lost their political powers in the sub-continent desperately supported the Deoband movement for Arabisation of the Indian converts for their recruitment as Jihadi soldiers with the ultimate objective to restore Islamic power. Therefore, Darul Uloom was not only a theological seminary but a religio-social- political movement for Arabisation of Indian Muslims and their radicalisation, with the overall objective to free the sub-continent from the British and restore the lost Islamic rule.

Another day, another blog post all about SSIS in my continuing journey through 31 Days of SSIS. A list of the other posts in this series can be found in the introductory post. If you haven't had a chance to read through that, I would recommend taking a look at it after reading this post. Yup, I just copied this from yesterday's post. Plagiarism!
Yesterday, I jumped back to looking at another use for the Script Component transformation. Today, I want to make another jump and look at another use for Expressions and ForEach loops. In this case, we will look at a package where one package will be used to make similar changes to multiple databases.
A number of years ago, I was working with a single tenant database application. That database had a state/province table that was "kinda" similar in each database. This "kinda"-bit had nothing to do with any specific business requirements. It was this way because nobody ever got around to updating all of the databases whenever a change was made in one database or another. As is probably obvious, new states don't show up too often but the state of this data was terrible.
Management of the data in these tables fell down to me, as the DBA. When they were out of synch it was my problem so I needed to do something to resolve the situation. What I wanted was a method that I could manage the table from one location and have each of the databases updated in turn. I also needed a solution that was light-weight and low tech. The people that would manage the solution after it was pushed out were savvy with Access and a bit afraid of SQL Server.
To solve this issue, I opted for an SSIS solution. SSIS has capabilities to bring the data across to the databases and determine what needs to be inserted, updated, or deleted. Alternatively, I could have just used change management and DML scripts to manage the data. The downside to that was that, at that point, that process was what caused the problem. Also, I could have looked at using replication. I opted against that since I wanted to keep the implementation low tech. Replication does require a bit of know-how to keep it going.
Of course, there should be a package per database. That would be impossible to manage and put the solution back with the existing process. There also shouldn't need to be one execution of the package per database. This needed to be a process that would just run and work itself out with one or one hundred databases.
To accomplish these needs, the package will utilize a ADO record set that contains a list of all of the databases that need to be managed. That record set will be used to iterate a loop that will make all the necessary changes to that databases that subscribe for the updates.
With the solution outline, we'll begin to go through the package to detail how this is done and hopefully help you learn a couple new things today.
There are a few things that will be occurring in the Control Flow to take note of in this package. First, the we need a list of all of the servers and databases that contain the tables that we want to update. With that information the package will loop through each of the server and database combinations. Finally, for each iteration of the loop, the package will insert, update, and delete data as is required to keep the data in the client database tables identical to the data in the central table.
This logic will be implemented with the following Control Flow components:
There are a number of variables in the package to help control how everything is processed.
The variables from above were added for the following purposes:
Usually I don't highlight the connections, but in this case it is necessary. The SSIS package contains two connections:
With the connection information configured, it's time to look at the data flows of the SSIS package. There are two data flows in this SSIS package
This first Data Flow task will control the INSERT and UPDATE operations on the table that is being managed through this package. To accomplish these operations the following transformations are used:
The second Data Flow task controls the DELETE operations on the table. Since rows may be deleted on the central table, they should also be deleted on the subscribers. To accomplish these operations the following transformations are used:
Before you can run the package, you will need to create a couple of dummy databases. The script for these is below:
CREATE DATABASE [Client_Db1] GO USE [Client_Db1] GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StateProvince]( [StateProvinceID] [int] NULL, [StateProvinceCode] [nchar](3) NOT NULL, [CountryRegionCode] [nvarchar](3) NOT NULL, [IsOnlyStateProvinceFlag] [bit] NOT NULL, [Name] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL, [TerritoryID] [int] NOT NULL, [rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL, [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO CREATE DATABASE [Client_Db2] GO USE [Client_Db2] GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StateProvince]( [StateProvinceID] [int] NULL, [StateProvinceCode] [nchar](3) NOT NULL, [CountryRegionCode] [nvarchar](3) NOT NULL, [IsOnlyStateProvinceFlag] [bit] NOT NULL, [Name] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL, [TerritoryID] [int] NOT NULL, [rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL, [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO
Go ahead and execute the packages a couple times. The first time the results will be kind of boring since everything will be an insert. The second execution, though, there will be some rows that flow into the update and delete paths. This is due to the demo only T-SQL statement to mimic changes in the database.
The results for the second execution should look like the image below. Of course, I've cropped both data flows over each other into a single image.
One of the things that I really like about SSIS is it's continued flexibility and ease of use. With just a record set, a couple of variables and a loop, an SSIS package can change from updating one database to updating as many as you need. Hopefully this provides some inspiration to your own processes where you can consolidate packages and processes.
I should mention that while I use the OLE DB Command in this package it isn't necessarily overt endorsement of it's use. Considerations for using it are many and enough for another blog post. For today, I'll just say that you need to be careful of the fact that this transformation will execute one T-SQL statement per row that it processes in the data flow path.

Hands On Charlotte & Friendship Trays
Hands On Charlotte is a nonprofit volunteer service organization. We promote volunteerism and direct community service to meet Charlotte's most critical needs. Our mission is to strenghten our community and enrich lives by mobilizing a diverse corps of citizens in direct, volunteer service.
Friendship Trays generally delivers more than 600 meals daily to elderly, handicapped, and convalescing people who are unable or greatly restricted in their ability to prepare or secure meals and who reside within the area we can reach with our corps of drivers. Deliveries are at the lunch hour but the meal is a full one, more like what many people are accustomed to for dinner.

Don't call it a comeback because he's in the lead, but Liberal leadership frontrunner Justin Trudeau returned to the boxing ring last week as a warmup to a very-much gloves-still-on leadership debate in Winnipeg.
Trudeau, whose thorough dismantling of Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau in the "Thrilla on the Hilla" charity boxing match last March showed the world there's a reason he has hockey hair, took in some light sparring at Winnipeg's Pan Am gym Friday.
The Montreal MP, who took up boxing two decades ago, sparred with the gym's owner, Harry Black, according to the Winnipeg Free Press.
Trudeau later took part in Saturday's leadership debate, which many pundits seem to think should be encased in equation marks, as the Liberals rivals sat down for 11-minute "interviews" and never actually faced off against each other.
The debate, which took place on two plush chairs as the leadership rivals took questions from moderator Harvey Locke, didn't even win many accolades from the Grits in attendance.
"It's a really dry format in terms of no real interaction between the candidates," longtime Liberal Brent Neill told The Canadian Press. "It's a really safe format so the frontrunner can't make a mistake or have anyone else question them."
Trudeau, who is easily bests his fellow competitors in the leadership polls, may be crowned leader on April 14 in Ottawa. After raising about $675,000 in three months, Trudeau has a war chest bigger than all of his eight rivals combined.
Trudeau's defeat of the bigger Brazeau was (presumably seriously) called a "career-defining" moment by at least one acclaimed Canadian journalist.
Content with his victory (and briefly leaving Ezra Levant with nary an insult), Trudeau declined an offer for a re-match with Brazeau.
"Despite my performance on Saturday night, I am not a boxer, I'm a parliamentarian," he said the week after the fight.
"I hope there will be more events like this to raise funds, but for me, you saw Saturday night my first and last boxing match."

Despite failing to convert five of seven two-point conversions this season, USC coach Lane Kiffin said he will not change his philosophy during games.
"If you make it, you're ahead of things and in a two-score game right away," Kiffin said.
Kiffin said he was not overly concerned USC might lose momentum after touchdowns by failing to convert a two-point play.
"You have a big play and it doesn't work but if you have a big play and it works, it's even better (than a regular touchdown).
"We'll continue to look at things. We're showing a lot of stuff (to opponents) which is good. We'll make other people practice it."
Quarterback Mitch Mustain, who decides when to go for two points when the kicking team is on the field, said he is not worried about the success rate.
"It's fine with me," he said. "I don't have to answer for the outcome too much. It's part of the game. They'll stop some."
Line boost
The offensive line's morale is improved after tailback Allen Bradford rushed for 131 yards against Minnesota.
"We definitely feel a lot better our ourselves and can feel good about the win," offensive tackle Matt Kalil said.
Armstead update
Defensive tackle Armond Armstead might be limited in practice this week as he continues to be bothered by a sprained shoulder.
Penalty rankings
USC is ranked 117 th in the nation (out of 120 teams) in penalties per games. The Trojans committed 31 in three games. Minnesota was the first game USC did not reach double figures in penalties (seven).
Turnover talk
Although quarterback Matt Barkley threw seven touchdowns and no interceptions in the first three games, he drew the ire of Kiffin for throwing two picks against Minnesota.
"The running game was on fire," Barkley said. "That's what we need when the passing game isn't on point. We still have things to correct on offense."
Barkley said his first interception occurred because he let a pass get "too deep" before tight end Rhett Ellison could run his pass route. His second interception was a result of "(feeling too much) pressure," Barkley said.
"I've got to be more accurate," he added.
Spread woes
USC is a 24-point favorite over lowly Washington State (0-3). The Trojans are 0-3 against the point spread this season.
Looking ahead
With Washington State winless and USC playing struggling Washington (1-2) at the Coliseum in two weeks, the Trojans could be 5-0 going into the Stanford game on Oct. 9 in Palo Alto. Perhaps one question is whether USC will be ranked in the top 25 by that time. The Trojans dropped two spots in the poll each of the past three weeks despite winning their games.
Redshirt update
Kiffin said he intends to redshirt any freshmen who did not play yet. Wide receiver Kyle Prater is among that group.
Kiffin was still waiting to see if freshman wide receiver Markeith Ambles could redshirt. Ambles participated in three plays, which means he should be ineligible to redshirt unless he suffered a season- ending injury before the fourth game.

Pattern Notes
This pattern is worked in the round from the top down. Rounds are started with a ch 3 as the first dc. This is slightly different than standard patterns but gives a much better result in the Swirling Crossover stitch.
This pattern is written with the option of a shorter or longer hat. The Swirling Crossover pattern expands and collapses easily to fit multiple sizes. The length of the hat will allow you to customize the fit for larger sizes. In addition, the longer hat is better for keeping longer hair up off your neck.
Task #1: Ch 3, dc 11 times in 3rd ch from hook, join with sl st. - 12 dc.

The Gold Coast is on Queensland's southern border where Queensland meets New South Wales. The climate is sub-tropical - summers are warm, winters are mild and autumn & spring offer the very best of climates.
The Gold Coast is Australia's premium holiday location. It is large enough to have all the facilities and features of a large resort city, including huge shopping complexes, theatres, nightclubs, fine dining, art galleries, several world-class golf courses and driving ranges, sporting complexes, an international airport and many live music entertainment venues.
But if you are looking for a quieter and more relaxed holiday, the Gold Coast has that too. It has some of the world's best surfing beaches. If you enjoy fishing you can join a day trip to go deep-sea fishing and there are also plenty of quiet still-water fishing locations.
Behind the Gold Coast's celebrated beaches, city skyline and meandering canals, just 35 minutes away is an impressive frame of hinterland mountains capped with sub-tropical rainforests, complete with many hiking tracks.
The apartment is 25 minutes drive from the Gold Coast International Airport and 60 minutes from the capital city of Brisbane and it's international airport. You can get there by car or train.
World famous 'Byron Bay' is only a 75 minute drive away and the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef is less than two hours north by plane. A one hour flight south takes you to Sydney.

Hi guys,
I'm new to the site and new to motion builder 2012 in general but i'm having a few issues with importing c3d files. I recorded some martial arts footage at uni and the tutor recently emailed me the files, but when I open them up in motion builder the dots load up under the grid and on it's side... The file plays the animation perfectly fine but I've not been able to load up the file any other way as the results are the same, and when I go to put the 'actor' character into the scene to start binding the dots to it, it loads up in the exact center of the grid on the top like it should do..
Does anyone know what it is i'm doing wrong please or if it's a fault of how the footage was recorded or emailed to me?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I have run the whole index and merge. Now I have each matching page,
displayed exactly TWICE in the output list, with the same URL and data
size and all.
I have set 'allow_numbers: true' but htsearch refuses to find numbers that
I know to be in there.
Question: Did I do something wrong or are these known bugs ?
I am downloading 3.1.5 now.
Is there an 'open' buglist ? I cannot find one on htdig.org.

Without lasers, people would have to rely on such archaic hair-removal methods as using a straight razor or condemning each hair to death by tiny guillotine. Off with your hairs with this Groupon.
Choose from Four Options
- $89 for four laser hair-removal sessions on an extra-small treatment area (a $400 value)
- $119 for four laser hair-removal sessions on a small treatment area (a $600 value)
- $169 for four laser hair-removal sessions on a medium treatment area (a $900 value)
- $249 for four laser hair-removal sessions on a large treatment area (up to a $1,200 value)
Refined Image of Northern Kentucky
Refined Image of Northern Kentucky's laser tag team is composed of medical technicians overseen by no fewer than five physicians, who set their sights on the eradication of unwanted hair and small veins on the legs and feet. Technicians handle GentleMax laser equipment with precision, delivering a concentrated dose of heat deep into trouble spots, as skin's upper layers stay chill thanks to a cooling burst of cryogen. Though the high-intensity light shows no mercy toward age spots, sun damage, and skin blemishes, it yields only mild discomfort, with pulses that are generally compared to a rubber-band snap.

It is as though Mangastream was feeling guilty for two weeks ago when it took forever to get Bleach. We have it about as early as it has ever been out this week. That makes me happy and when I am happy, I write better blog posts for your entertainment.
First we have a color page with Riruka. I had a feeling she had red hair. Just felt very natural for her. Though I do have an answer for her question. She asks, "You just can't help but love me can you?" My answer is yes, I can and I find you annoying. Ah, forgive me, I have been trying to stop bashing Riruka but this was too easy a shot.
Anyway, Mr. Pork is complaining that he was kidnapped and then asks to be paid for his time and then he will forget about the ordeal. He rants a bit and Ichigo feels quite uncomfortable. Riruka does something with her pass (not sure if she was taking it away or giving pork a new one, I am confused). Riruka then goes up to Pork and he becomes very scared. She says she will not pay him and gives him a cell phone so she can all him for his assistance at any time, he just needs to answer and be back within fifteen minutes. Ichigo then notes that Pork looks almost identical to his stuffed animal form. Riruka tells Ichigo he can leave and calls him disgusting. Ichigo fires back, calling her a b****. Kugo then chimes in and says that Ichigo can leave and that his body is strained. He tells Ichigo he survived for over a year without his powers so he can wait for a few more days. The scene switches to Orihime and the two impossible to spell names. Impossible to spell name 1 tells Impossible to spell name 2 that he need not get his hands dirty. No. 1 says once more that he will kill Orihime and that he is 2's servant. 1 questions why 2 is there and 2 says he wants to be. 1 pulls his bookmark out of his book and turns it into a sword. He asks one to take the blame. Orihime questions if the sword is a zanpakuto but he says that it is a fullbring. The scene switches once more to Sado and Ichigo. Sado says that Orihime keeps bringing him bread and that it is too much. He says he will give some to Ichigo and goes to get it when a look comes over his face. He the tells Ichigo that Orihime's reiatsu feels weird.
Not a great chapter but not bad. The beginning felt slow to me. Usually I enjoy Kubo's humor but the whole scene with Pork left me feeling like that scene was just thrown in there. It was not very funny and Riruka calling Ichigo disgusting felt out of character for her considering she is supposed to think Ichigo is so hot. Kugo's part was alright I guess. Nothing that exciting there other than knowing Ichigo is going to get his powers back soon. I was disappointed to see there was nothing with Rukia in this chapter. That was the huge shock of last chapter, he heard Rukia and this chapter there was nothing about it and it was as if it had never happened. Ichigo did not even say something to Sado on their walk home. You would think something as big as that would get mentioned.
The scene with the impossible to spell names and Orihime was alright. I like that Orihime was willing to defend no. 1. She is finally standing up for herself which I like because I have always been a fan of hers unlike most people. She reminds me a lot of a friend of mine so I have always liked seeing her. No. 1 is alright, nothing exciting about him but I have a big problem with no.2. Kubo has failed me here. His fullbring takes a mundane object and transforms it into a sword. Hmmm who do we know who can do that? Could it be the only character I have truly liked who has been introduced thus far in the arc. Yes, Kugo Ginjo can take a mundane object and turn it into a sword. I have enjoyed the Fullbrings so far and liked the variety and uniqueness of them but it looks as though Kubo has already run out of ideas and is recycling them. My only hope now is that there is a connection between 2 and Kugo to explain their similarities.
So as always, comments are very welcomed, just keep them clean.

13 Responses to "Monday Morning "Guess the Artist""
I should know better than to play this game, but I'm going to guess it's Todd McFarlane. I'm seeing wonky anatomy coupled with obsessive detail on the armor.
I don't think Dara really knows who drew this; the artist would have had to sign his name to this mess, and I don't see that happening.
So I'm going to guess Mike Deodato based on the weird posing.
And while this is one ugly page, that Nova is doing the cha-cha. in the last panel makes it great in a peculiar sort of way.
It does have that McFarlane/Erik Larsen vibe to it. And what's up with Spidey's feet? It looks like he wears a size 8 kids shoe.
Ws it Tom Lyle?
Was . I stink at typing.
Graham Nolan?
Scott McDaniel? He's come a long way, baby.
McDaniel's had one heck of a learning curve. His current work is totally competent, but his Daredevil stuff was wretched. And this page, well, the less said the better.

GOP Treasurer Steps Down
(Richmond, VA) -- The Virginia Republican Party treasurer is resigning over a controversial Facebook post. Bob FitzSimmonds handed a resignation letter to party leaders Thursday night, saying no matter how careful he is, he will sometimes give non-Republicans the occasion to portray his "party in a bad light."
FitzSimmonds wrote on Facebook in response to a remark by President Obama praising Muslims, quote, "Exactly what part of our nation's fabric was woven by Muslims?" The now former GOP state party official says his two choices were to stop posting on social media or step down from his position.
Republican leaders had asked FitzSimmonds to step down earlier this year after he posted a crude statement on Facebook about State Delegate Barbara Comstock, (R-Fairfax).

The High Court ruled Andrews must now serve at least 12 years of her life sentence for the murder of Thomas Cressman.
Andrews, who came from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, was originally sentenced to a minimum of 15 years.
The murder took place in September 2000 at the home they shared in London.
Andrews had beaten her lover with a cricket bat and then stabbed him with a kitchen knife at their home in Fulham, an Old Bailey jury heard. They found her guilty of murder in May 2001.
'Emotionally shattered'
At a High Court hearing on Tuesday, Mr Justice McKinnon described the attack as "ruthless", but said Andrews had been left "emotionally shattered" by the 39-year-old's rejection of her following a two week holiday on his boat in Italy.
The judge said Andrews had expected Mr Cressman to propose, but instead he told her their relationship was at an end.
Mr Justice McKinnon said: "It was evident that the attack she made on him was made as the result of bitter resentment and anger when she saw her ambition to marry him finally frustrated."
He added what happened had given Andrews, who was 34 at the time of her trial, an "unusually heavy burden to bear".
The ruling means Andrews could be considered for release by 2012.
