With all the great new data-centric development features in Flash Builder 4, it's easy to miss the quick time saving features. Especially the ones that we take for granted in other IDEs. One of my missions here on Flash Builder Tips is to highlight these simple, time saving features.
Feature: Run to Line, CTRL+R / CMD+R
Problem: In Flex Builder 3, in order to break on a line you would either have to set a new breakpoint on the desired line or, while suspended, step over lines until you reached the desired line. This was a bit annoying since many other IDEs for other runtimes support run to line.
Solution: Um…implement Run to Line. While suspended, set the cursor on the desired line and press CTRL+R / CMD+R.
Stay tuned for more tips like this one.Share on Facebook

The Just Mango slices were just a little bitter to me (maybe I just got a bad batch).
I have to say though, I like the Mango slices they have a Costco better (although I think there's more than "just mango" in them).

That's an example of why I say that TJ is overrated... sure, there are some yummy things. But I can get some yummy things just about everywhere (with the exception of the world's shittiest safeway, which happens to be where I shop because I can walk there).
That said, it is important to note that in Seattle, there are TJs EVERYWHERE. So that impacts my opinions. Hard to imagine people driving for hours to one. They opened one in Ft Worth earlier this year and it made the damn news (in the DFW area; I was there at the time) because of the traffic it caused. For Trader Joes.
But mostly I'm posting to say... MAYPO.

I don't really get the whole Trader Joe thing. I've only been once as it's about 30 minutes away. I'll try again.
A comedian I just discovered, Kyle Kinane, has a funny bit about Trader Joe's from '08. Likely to funnier to those who work or shop there.

I only go there occasionally; it's not sufficient as an everyday grocery store. But I do find that there's a lot of good, inexpensive stuff there. It's kind of a mystery to me how they do it.
I like all the nuts (though I wish their 100-calorie "just a handful" nut baggies came in salted, roasted). Also the Lacey's milk chocolate macadamia cookies. The wine selection is almost all inexpensive and pretty good. And when I host large barbecues I get burger patties there, with cheese, onions & stuff in them.
turbinado and sea salt dark chocolate covered almonds....omg
their mango butter is also excellant

I really like the following TJ items:
(1) The roasted garlic hummus
(2) The steamed lentil packs
(3) The canned vegetable lentil soup (yea, I like lentils)
(4) The frozen whole wheat French toast
Surprised no one mentioned the wine.
Sure, 2 (now 3) Buck Chuck is very good for the price. My recent favorite is a white wine called Honey Moon (a Voignier).
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. firstname.lastname@example.com

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Police say an officer shot and killed a knife-wielding woman while responding to a domestic disturbance at an apartment complex in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati police spokeswoman Kimberly Williams says the woman was in her 20s and died at the scene Saturday. Williams says preliminary information indicates that witnesses reported hearing the officer tell the woman to put the knife down.
The names of the woman and the Cincinnati officer were not immediately released. Williams says investigators are still trying to determine the details of what happened.
The spokeswoman says the shooting occurred in front of the apartment building about 1 p.m.
Williams says only one officer responded to the initial call about some type of family trouble at the complex.

DanNeely - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkOn the server management screenshot on page 2, what is the 31MB disk5? Did someone go digging through the junk drawer for the smallest USB drive they could find, or is it something else? Reply
ganeshts - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkThat is the USB drive I use to quickly transfer files from one review unit to the other (considering that this setup was isolated from the rest of our network) :) Reply
mcnabney - Monday, November 08, 2010 - link$1475 for an available 3.5TB ~ $2.37/GB which is about how much SSDs cost for storage.
Other options for the same money -
$100 WHS or Vail
$100 nice case
$75 nice PS
$75 nice mATX MB with lots of SATA ports
$25 optical drive
$50 expansion cards for extra SATA ports
$25 fans and extra cables
$1000 - Ten 2TB drives
$1475 total
So at the very least TRIPLE the storage (if everything is duplicated) and superior access times when using my option. Reply
ganeshts - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkIf I personally want 18 TB of storage, I would definitely go with your configuration :) However, the professional storage appliance market is different. People are ready to pay as long as the seller guarantees uptime of the storage. At my workplace (not AnandTech), vendors have turned up at 2 AM on a Sunday night to replace failed drives in our SAN. Of course, to get such response, one needs to purchase some extended maintenance options. However, these options aren't available unless one purchases the original unit from the company.
That said, LaCie has had a history of catering to the Apple market. So, you know that the likely customers would be graphics design firm which are heavily Apple oriented. (And Apple customers are those who don't mind spending a premium) -- At least, this is my opinion (not what LaCie told me) Reply
mcnabney - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkWhat you are saying makes a lot of sense, but this isn't a big service oriented server vendor like HP or Dell. I checked out LaCie and the box comes with a 1 year parts and service warranty. For an extra $150 you can stretch that out to two years.
There is no on-site repair option available. If something goes wrong you check the faq online and then call tech support. Support will go through the usual list (is it plugged in, did you turn it on....) before issuing you a RMA number. There is absolutely no guarantee of uptime or anything close to policies designed to keep the data available at all times. I don't know about you, but once that box is populated it is never going back to a service center for 'warranty work'.
A product like this is going to require someone in the office to be able to setup and troubleshoot a NAS-like product or the IT support vendor that has been used in the past will need to understand it. I just don't see the LaCie brand to do much more than I would expect of NewEgg. For me, I build my own because I support my own. I get the best price and exactly what I want/need. Since we are talking about critical data here I think that only Dell/HP types can really offer one-stop shopping with guaranteed on-site service. Also, don't forget that there is nothing in this box that could even remotely be considered to be server-grade - starting with the footwarmer power supply. Reply
ganeshts - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkI believe LaCie has some sort of on-site maintenance plan too. This is mainly targeted towards people who don't have full time IT staff or lack the technical know-how to build and maintain one themselves.
LaCie also has a Pro line (12-rack NAS server) which fits the 'server' grade criteria.
All said, I personally don't think the unit is worth that much money, but there are probably features in Windows Storage Server (available only to OEMs) which some small / medium business owners may be willing to pay for. Reply
mcnabney - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkI found something comparable to it. It costs $25 more and is also made of the same grade of consumer parts.
It also provides 12TB of storage and includes the footwarmer power supply.
Also, what is it about these consumer-grade NAS appliances and pokey network speed? I assume it is related to the RAID functionality. Every WHS box I have assembled can saturate gigE with large files and runs at over 60MB/s when backing up (which includes lots of small files). Reply
ira176 - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkJust change the blue to red.... Reply
Kaurin - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkIf AnandTech did a comparison of this type of commercial solution VS FreeNAS. (Preferably using same hard drives as in the LaCie tested). Reply
ganeshts - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkWill keep this in mind for a future review. Reply
krazyderek - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkthrow in an ubuntu file server please! (SMB & NFS) Last i checked it outperforms freenas but is just as free. Reply
zsero - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkI don't get that why would anyone choose this over say a Synology DS1010+?
DS1010+ is about $800 without drives, you can supply and repair all your hard drives from your favourite brand, has a much more polished user interface and comes with proper NFS and iSCSI support. Oh, yes and it's expandable with an external 5 disk module any time later.
For me it seems just an other product where you pay for the styling and not for the reliability or performance which comes with one of those brands who's been polishing their own Linux based OS over the years. Reply
ganeshts - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkI think most of the extra cost is for the license of the WIndows Storage Server 2008. It has support for DFS (not sure if Synology has it) . Maybe some other features are extra too (haven't evaluated Synology solutions in this space yet) Reply
Sharro - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkI wouldn't :-) I have a DS1010+ with the expansion DX510, reading the review of the Lacie there isn't a single advantage in it.
I got rid of my DS409+ because the expasion was not available anymore in my country and it would take too long to order it (it has been discontinued) otherwise I would still have it, it's simple, quiet and solid.
Just my 5 cents.
All the best,
Sharro Reply
HMTK - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkI haven't found a single Linux-based NAS that seamlessly integrates with Active Directory. So for file/print sharing in a Windows network it's probably better to use a WSS 2008 than that Synology or QNAP. I wouldn't use it for NFS though and only maybe for iSCSI. There I would trust the Linux-based NAS's more. The physical design and drives that you have to buy from Lacie are also a serious disadvantage. They should just sell the chassis and list a bunch of supported drives. Reply
mkruer - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkI have one, and I wish i didn't. most of what Lacie claims are half truths. Most people looking into this would be better off getting a Sans Digital 5 drive bay enclosure and populating it with their own drives and attaching is via esata connection to another system. Reply
ganeshts - Monday, November 08, 2010 - linkCan you please let us know what issues you found with the storage server. I am sure LaCie would be very interested in your feedback. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkI can't tell you about this, but I do have experience with some of LaCie's more expensive products, as we have a LaCie Biggest 5-drive FW800 external RAID enclosure for our XServe, which I did need warranty service for once when a drive failed.
My experience with this and several other LaCie products is that LaCie makes some nice products --but even their SMB or "enterprise-like" products get the equivalent of home user support. For a small or medium business, this is a big drawback.
The 10TB LaCie 5Big looks like a perfect product for some needs here in our workplace; that said, I'd probably spend more and get a Dell PowerVault server, because I know what kind of support Dell will provide me, and I have the option of a three-year warranty which I can choose the response time to fit my needs. I sincerely doubt that if a drive fails in the 5Big that you can get a next-business-day replacement.
For their SMB market, LaCie at least needs an optional higher-end support package. Without that, you can either go lower and get a Windows Home Server on the small end, or spend more and get an enterprise-grade server with real support, and either way, you're probably better off. Reply
mkruer - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkI can send you the case number, but I don't think they will tell you that their own product suck and their support is non existent.
In my case I had a LaCie box tied to an AD network (BTW it doesn't support AD as one would expect which is why I said half truths, it also does not have sub domain support) I was using the LaCie to create backup images of system before I wiped them. However do to the way they implement the permission somehow it lost both the admin (BTW it is not really the admin) account and the AD account that the files were created with. What I ended up with was a few file taking up 800GB that no one could not even the admin could access with no way to change the permission. To make matters worse, in their infinite wisdom, there is no way to SSH backdoor into the box using the real ROOT account
I contacted LaCie before I did the following to this was their recommend procedure. First flash the system with the latest version. This had no positive effect in fact it made the system more unstable. They had me do a hard reset to reset/reconstruct all the permission. Yes that worked for all non default shares. But like most people I was using the default share, I found out later that the default share on the box should not be used because the reset/reconstruct will not work for that share. But they don't mention that anywhere in the instructions; trust me I look multiple times afterwards. They then wanted me to then try to downgrade the firmware and try again however I was unable to downgrade the box. I this point I asked them that I can take the drives and mount them in another system and although they do not support what I was about to do they did admit that this was the only option left. I was stuck in the situation where the only option I had, recommend by many people who have had this issue before me, was to pull the drives and mount them in another box. However because LaCie is using software level RAID is not well documented and apparently even the not even the LaCie engineers know how it works. It becomes a crapshoot to get it working. After a week of fiddling with various tools to figure out what RAID construction they were using in an attempt to recover my data, I ended up saying #!@^-it, it is not worth it. I placed the drives back into the box, and yes the system still worked, I ended up I shipping the box to them. About a week later I get a message saying they can not even figure out what is wrong.
Oh yes the data I had on it was lost, this is the only time I have EVER lost data, thankfully nothing on it was overly important. It just piss me off.
In the end LaCie to kiss my @$$ ended up sending me the top-of-the-line LaCie box which has been little more then a paper weight because I am not using it until they warranty expires in which case I am pulling the drives and mounting them in a generic box.
After this event I did a search and found out that this is a long standing issue across multiple LaCie product lines. Do a search for LaCie lost file permission and SSH you will see that I am not the only one that had this issue with LaCie integration and craptastic support.
Quite literally if LaCie included a SSH into the OS of the box this problem I could have recovered /recreated the permissions in 15 minutes Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkWhoa! I can sure understand your frustration!
Can you let me know whether this happened with the Windows Storage Server 2008 based model?
If I understand the NAS correctly, all the AD support and even the software RAID is handled by Windows Storage Server, and any support issues of the sort you mention can be resolved with the help of Microsoft documentation?
The reason I am asking this is that, while evaluating the NAS, I did face trouble with iSCSI, and LaCie never got back to me with the solution. However, the WSS 2008 documentation and online FAQs managed to clear it up for me.
On a side note, I didn't have infrastructure at my end to test enterprise level functionality like DFS or AD. If you have any suggestions for testing those out (our testbeds for NAS reviews are self contained and isolated networks), that would be great too. Thanks for your help :) Reply
mkruer - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkIn this case this was LaCie 5big Network 2 not the one you were reviewing so from that point my comments may not be justified. however considering all the issues they seem to have with the LaCie 5big Network line up it really does not surprise me that they are ditching their quasi linux pseudo AD system for a windows based system. After my experiences the overarching question that MUST be ask is. "If something goes wrong with the OS, is there a way to get to the data bypassing the OS?" historically all LaCie products you MUST use the LaCie UI, and there is no back door if something goes wrong. if this is the case with the LaCie 5big Storage Server i would tell people to avoid it. doubly so if it is RAID'ed I was hoping that if something went worng with the unit I had I would be able to use either USB or estat to attach the device as a local storage (this would bypass the OS), but nope. All the ports on the box are if you want to extend the unit still using the flaky OS running on it. Reply
IceDread - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkIt looks to have a hard time competing with zfs systems. For the high price it has, why would someone want to purchase one.. Reply
Sosh - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkIf this is supposed to be professional grade, I don't understand why they would opt for a cheap brick power supply with a Mini-DIN connector.
These connectors are notoriously loose. That PS is going to be sitting on the floor in a nest of other cables and supplies. All it will take is someone to kick the cable, or pull on it while fiddling around with something else down there for it to drop power to the NAS - possibly loosing data in the process. Reply
jabber - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkI do a lot of office upgrades for small finance firms (say 3-4 people) and they want to move on from file sharing between PCs. They dont want to run a server so a NAS box is perfect for centralised file sharing and organisation.
However, for them encryption is vitally important in case of theft and very few NAS boxes appear to carry decent encryption. Plus NAS reviews that do mention encryption rarely ever test it and report on it.
For business use, encryption is very important. Customers have all read the embarrassing news reports of stolen data getting into the open. They want to avoid that as much as possible. Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkI think MS Bitlocker serves this purpose and is supported in Windows Server 2008. Can you let me know what sort of testing you would like us to do for this feature? Reply
jabber - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - link
Bitlocker is out as most users are still on XP.
The dont want servers. So Server 2008/Bitlocker doesnt even figure in this equation.
They just want simple NAS boxes for encrypted file storage and sharing.
Set and forget, pretty much.
What we need to know is does the NAS support encryption.
If it does how does it implement it (full disk/by share/on the fly/USB key etc.)?
How does it affect file transfer/read/write performance?
Customers do not require anything too sophisticated or hard to administer. Its purely to stop anyone who steals the kit to go looking at the data stored on it. Reply
jabber - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkFor info, I'm currently pushing out Seagate Blackamors to customers.
They are pretty cheap and use on the fly encryption for any share you set it on. The encryption key is stored on a USB stick that has to be plugged into the back of the NAS box for the shares to work.
It's pretty simple and once setup needs little work from the end user other than removing the USB key.
Would be nice to see some alternative solutions. Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkjabber, Thanks for your inputs.
I will talk to LaCie (and any future NAS manufacturers who want us to review their units) about this. But, as you mention, Server 2008 based solutions are probably not going to work for your requirement unless there is some other specific support from the manufacturer. Reply
Rasterman - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linksynology has encryption Reply
jabber - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkYes and some of the QNAPs too. However, you usally dont get encryption on them till you are spending in the £400 range for the 4xHDD boxes.
Ideally we need a RAID1 capable box with simple to administer encryption with HDDs installed for around the £200 price of the Seagates. Reply
Guspaz - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkWhat's with the crazy partitioning scheme? They've got 102.54GB dedicated to swap...
It looks almost like they decided on 34.18GB system partitions, and decided to just throw the rest into swap to use up the space. They could have shrunk that to 20GB, and put four of the partitions in RAID-10, with swap on the system partition. Or they could have had four 17.09GB partitions in RAID-10 for the system, and the remaining 17.09GB partition as swap; do you really need redundancy on the swap partition? Reply
LoneWolf15 - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkAre you sure that's for swap?
I'm not sure about Server 2008, but Win7 has a partition meant to aid in recovery of the OS in case it bombs. I believe that partition is about 100MB in size. Perhaps Server 2008R2 has the same? Reply
DoveOfTheSouth - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkSomerthing you didn't cover and I think is very important for a small business NAS, is automatic client backup software.
Does the LaCie come with any? If it does, how many licences? If not, I think you should mention it - some of the competitors do. Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, November 09, 2010 - linkI suspect not. LaCie sells a 5big Backup Server for this purpose. I will try to clarify with them (there was no explicit software for backing up clients, though you could obviously backup the server itself using an WSS 2008 option in the server manager) Reply
jabber - Wednesday, November 10, 2010 - linkFor NAS boxes I use Cobian. Its the only solution simple enough for folks to get to grips with and that will easily do backups to or from a NAS box.
So many back up apps go mental if you introduce NAS boxes. Why they should in this day and age I have no idea.
Cobian just works.
I think a lot of manufacturers forget this aspect. That many small businesses (1 ro 6 people) dont either have the funds to run a continuous IT support contract or want to have to call in an IT support guy every 5 minutes if they want to change something.
With the economy the way it is, there are a lot of new small firms like this that the IT manufacturers really are not catering to and they are missing a trick.
Cut the IT babble front ends and just let it do the simple stuff in a logical manner. Reply
unblocktheplanet - Saturday, January 08, 2011 - linkI use a Mac and I've always had good luck with LaCie. I want to stream my movies and music to a networked DVD player as well as using my NAS for backup.
I'm evaluating LaCie 5big Network, Synology DS1010+ or Seagate BlackArmor 4-bay NAS 440. My needs are pretty simple.
But then I got to SOFTWARE RAID on LaCie! Sure about that? That would be a deal-breaker for me, the cause of numerous problems on my current external storage.
As I live in Bangkok, I don't have the ease of returning the unit to the US for service or warranty.
Thanks much. Reply
Hrel - Thursday, January 17, 2013 - linkCan you guys review a few of those new NAS boxes built on ARM processors please? Reply

Hi Guys,
Was trying to implement border-clip to one of my divs so that the border gets clipped so it doesnt stretch all the way across. Its on the mainwrapper div. Its the border right above "Find what you need quick and easy:" here is the link.
This is the page that I got the info on how to use it if you scroll down to Example 36 but it doesnt seem to work at all. Any ideas
Also would like to put it as a bottom border on each of the listed navigation items but only want it to stretch out maybe across two letters of each list item.
Another question is, I've put some more content in but now when you scroll down the header/sidebar when you scroll below it is white. How can I keep the black and red bars going all the way down?
That's CSS4 and I don't believe any browser supports border-clip even with vendor extensions. That draft you pointed to is not maintained so I doubt its going to turn into anything soon.
You will need to find another method if you only want partial borders. You could probably do it with generated content :before or :after and absolutely placing a border around the relative parent but it all depends on the exact requirements.
One way to get full height sections is to use the display table and display table-cell properties. I would use the body background as the black left border then create an offset table width 3 rows and 2 cells in each row for the rest of the layout. This will ensure that cells stretch together.
Thanks Paul,
I'm not to familar with content: before or :after as never really had to use it much, how can I use it for this issue?
For the layout is it lots of work to change it to what you have recommended?
Also, may think of having the header/sidebar area fixed but not sure yet. Din't think so but may change mind in future right now just hoping to solve issue got going on lol.
I believe I got it sorted out with using display: table etc.
But for the life of me I'm not sure why theres a big gap in the top of the page. The grey part should line up with the darker red part.
If theres anything else you can suggest that would be great to make this work better but believe its coming along. Now need to figure out how to do the content: before and after.
The default for table-cells is vertical-align:middle and as you have set the logo to be 200px tall it moves it down to align it to the middle. You could set vertical-align:top to the display:table-cell elements to kill the gap but that's not probably what you want.
If you wanted the Miller text logo to vertically center with the "'M" of the left you didn't really need to do anything special if you had created a table-row (display:table-row) wrap with just 2 display:table-cells and make sure that vertical-align:middle is set for the table-cell and then both the contents in those cells will align vertically and there won;t be a need to force the height or do any calculations.
The grey part should line up with the darker red part.
Again these two elements should be related cells within a table row and they will both match height and both expand together to keep that effect nicely.
For the last section with the nav and the content you again want a display table-row with just two cells but this time with content vertically aligned to the top. You probably won't need any more cells after that as the content can just be stacked n those 2 last cells just like two columns.
Heree's the rough structure:

I'm a wee bit late on this but here goes:
I went to the Reno Rib Cookoff on Labor Day weekend (Friday and Saturday). But there was a lot of ribs to try, and the lines were huge! Saturday was the worst with waits of 15-20 minutes, so I only got to try 10 teams worth (plus there was cost consideration: $2 per rib. Yikes!). The best I tasted was last year's winner: Butch Luppenetti (the guy who beat Bobby Flay), though Johnson's put out some good ribs too.
The most fun I had at the event though was watching them film the "Barbecue Championship Series" for OLN (Chris Lilly's successor to last year's "All Star BBQ Challenge"). Got to hang out with BBQ legends like Ray Lampe, Byron Chism, Mike Davis, Johnny Trig, Bart Clarke, etc. and had 'em sign my hat:
The competition was fun to watch and consisted of 3 cooks: a long one (like pork butt or ribs), medium (like tenderloin) and quick (seafood). The competitors knew before hand what they were cooking for the long and medium cooks, but not the quick cooks. The quick cooks were wheeled LIVE out in a shrouded tank and the contestants had to kill, prepare, cook and plate them for the judges within the hour. I saw them have to take on paku (a big, ugly fish like a piranha), and trout. The judges (Darryl Dawkins, Megan from Grounded for Life and some French Chef) really detested the paku and it was funny watching the cooks wrestle with those nasty looking fish. Of course, the best part came when a couple of the competitors passed out samples to the audience. Mike Davis' baby back ribs were the bomb and Johnny Trig's spatch cooked chicken was delicious. I don't want to reveal who won, but someone to watch out for is Sarah from "Hell's Kitchen" (who was very nice, BTW, unlike how she was portrayed on that show). One of the BBQers remarked in disgust that it was more of a "cooking" competition than a BBQ cookoff so she, being one of the few trained chefs, had an advantage in the medium and quick cooks. One of the other amusing aspects of this show was the cooks could bring any of their "specialty" ingredients they wished (like a rub or sauce), but they had to put it on the community shelf for everyone to use (and some competitors did use other's stuff). Some funny glares and side remarks abounded there (not to mention some trash talking amongst the BBQers). You may notice me in the audience wearing the white ballcap above and sitting behind Mike Davis (who gave me a sample of his "Lotta Bull" BBQ sauce). Watch for this show to air in November on OLN (if it will still be called that. They said they were thinking of changing the network name to "Versus"). I forgot my camera, (Doh! ) but Smitty from eggsbythebay.com took some pics:
Overall, a great trip where I got to taste real competition BBQ for the first time and meet some really nice fellow 'cue addicts (in particular Mike, as noted above and Byron Chism, who gave me a sample of his "Butt Rub).

Lord Mandelson is in charge of the Labour election campaign but, in reality, he has little choice but to work to Ed Balls' playbook. The truth is that when the Tories promised to reverse part of the National Insurance tax rise, it turned this election into a big test of the Balls vision of British politics.
The origins of this lie in the November Pre-Budget Report, which set the cornerstone of the Labour message. Spending on schools went up in real terms, a great triumph for Balls at a time public sector cuts. The downside was that National Insurance had to rise. Read more

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
My last post in Aaron's series drew a mixed review from some readers, and I'm sure this one will do the same. But that's part of the fun!
One of the biggest threats to maintainability is code that's not properly formatted. When I'm called in by a customer to debug some legacy code, often the first thing I'll have to do is re-format the code so that I can actually figure out what's going on. Many of Aaron's posts have covered readability, but one of the key, key, key things that he hasn't hit yet is indentation. The secret is simple: Whether you do it the way I like, the way Aaron likes, or some other way completely, just make certain that you do it consistently. Choose a style and stick to it, not just throughout a query but throughout every query you right. This way not only will you be able to read your code, but once they get used to your style so will other people.
The goal of an indentation scheme is to help the reader by grouping similar constructs along the same line. Code is hierarchical; if you consider a procedure, that CREATE PROCEDURE statement is the root node. Every statement in the body of the procedure is a descendant of the CREATE PROCEDURE statement, and each statement has its own descendants--for example, the predicates in the JOINs or the WHERE clause, or the elements in the column list. Improperly indented CASE expressions are a big annoyance to me, and these are similarly hierarchical, with the CASE keyword at the highest level, followed by the WHEN and ELSE conditions, their predicates, and the results of each case. Keeping all of this in mind when writing code makes it easy to see and understand what's going on even if you've never seen a given piece of code before.
Unfortunately, sometimes people get lazy. Or some simply don't care. I hope that no one reading this post falls into the latter category. As for the former, I hope that this is one area that you won't be lazy about. There are a number of automated formatters on the market these days--some even free--so there is really no excuse. Still, I see code all the time that is confusingly indented.
Here's an example of some code that needs work:
SELECTc.AddressLine1,c.FirstName, c.LastName, o.Subtotal, o.ShippingCost, CASE WHEN o.TotalQty > 10 THEN 'big'WHEN o.TotalQty BETWEEN 5 AND 9 THEN 'medium' ELSE 'small' END AS BoxSize FROM dbo.Orders AS o INNER JOIN dbo.Customers AS c ONo.CustomerId = c.CustomerId WHERE o.OrderDate > CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()-1) AND c.State = 'MA'
If you think I've overdone this example, think again. I see code easily this carelessly formatted on a regular basis; I often wonder if the person writing the code was actually trying to confuse the next person who comes along. Where does the CASE expression start and end? How quickly do you notice that there are some predicates used as part of the JOIN condition, and others in a WHERE clause? Did it take you a moment or two to find the end of the SELECT list?
In this case, in my opinion, even no indentation at all would have been preferable to the mess above. In the following example I've removed all indentation, while adding a few line breaks to put each element on its own line--something I do when writing my own code.
SELECTc.AddressLine1,c.FirstName, c.LastName,o.Subtotal,o.ShippingCost,CASE WHEN o.TotalQty > 10 THEN 'big'WHEN o.TotalQty BETWEEN 5 AND 9 THEN 'medium'ELSE 'small' END AS BoxSizeFROM dbo.Orders AS o INNER JOIN dbo.Customers AS c ONo.CustomerId = c.CustomerIdWHERE o.OrderDate > CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()-1)AND c.State = 'MA'
My personal rules are simple: Each item in the SELECT list gets its
own line. Or more than one line, in the case of CASE expressions and
other complex expressions. Parenthesis that surround expressions sit on
their own lines, and the contents are indented, similar to code between
braces in C-style languages. And each predicate in a JOIN condition or
a WHERE clause gets its own line. A few things I don't do: I do not indent JOINs beyond the level of the FROM clause, as I feel that they are siblings in the hierarchy. I do not put the ON on the line as the first predicate, as many people do, because I feel that it applies to the entire set of predicates in the JOIN. And I don't use the commas at the start of the line method because I think it just looks bad.
This style was developed in order to minimize horizontal
scrolling, at the expense of some additional vertical scrolling. Some people don't like it, but it works extremely well for me and
people I've worked with have become converts. But I'm not telling you (in this post at least) to use my style. I'm just telling you to pick a style, some style, any style, and stick with it religiously.
Below is the same code as above reformatted once more. I think you'll agree that even if you don't like exactly how I do things, it's a lot easier to read and would be easier to maintain.
SELECT c.AddressLine1, c.FirstName, c.LastName, o.Subtotal, o.ShippingCost, CASE WHEN o.TotalQty > 10 THEN 'big' WHEN o.TotalQty BETWEEN 5 AND 9 THEN 'medium' ELSE 'small' END AS BoxSizeFROM dbo.Orders AS o INNER JOIN dbo.Customers AS c ON o.CustomerId = c.CustomerIdWHERE o.OrderDate > CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()-1) AND c.State = 'MA'

My indentation technique is quote similar to yours. The key differences I spot:
(a) I prefer BoxSize = CASE over CASE ... AS BoxSize. I still prefer to find the column name easy and not have to figure out where CASE ends to figure out the alias.
(b) I prefer placing the object name on its own line, so instead of:
FROM dbo.Orders AS o
I would have:
dbo.Orders AS o
Again, I like to have the main parts of the query very visually obvious.
(c) I prefer the ON on the same line as the first predicate. I understand your reasoning for the way you do it, but to me it just reads better my way.
(d) I always terminate my statements with semi-colons! :-)
Sorry, the display of my comment is subject to weird Community Server rules. There is an extra carriage return in (b); I don't leave blank lines in queries for the most part, unless I have a huge comment to include and I want to make sure it stands out (for me, or for the next person that comes along).
I totally agree with this. Badly thought out indentation is a pain and that's why I posted this on Connect the other day:
"Format Document" in SSMS
To anyone reading, please click through and vote it up!!
"every query you right"
That should be "every query you write".
Here is a style I have grown to like for readability/maintainability:
WHEN o.TotalQty > 10 THEN 'big'
WHEN o.TotalQty BETWEEN 5 AND 9 THEN 'medium'
ELSE 'small'
END BoxSize
FROM dbo.Orders o
dbo.Customers c
ON o.CustomerId = c.CustomerId
WHERE o.OrderDate > CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()-1)
AND c.State = 'MA'
Well, some of the formatting got lost in my above example but it conveys the idea a bit.
I would like to counter your decision to place commas at the end of the line. I place them in front like so:
ELSE 'small'
END AS BoxSize
(I like the added space to replace the comma for the first row, and may or may not add it for things like the END keyword...looks less sloppy).
This provides a few benefits:
1) Easier to read; you can see the start of every line very clearly just by scanning (similar to your logic from another post of why one should use the AS keyword). This becomes especially nice when columns turn into multi-line statements (case statements etc).
2) Easier to re-order columns when refactoring. I find when re-ordering columns that I move the last column out of it's place (or append another column after it) 10 times more than I move the first column out of it's place. With commas in front this becomes a simple copy/paste, eliminating two common syntax errors: the one you get for forgetting to add a comma after the previous "last row", and the one you get for leaving a comma after the new "last row".
Guys, I'm not used to make advertising, but in this case I have to write about my experience.
The first tool I install after SSMS on a new laptop is always SQL Refactor (from RedGate). It formats the SQL code the way you want, and also the last SQLPrompt tool has a SQL-reformatting feature (it's another tool from RedGate).
Every time I have a query written by someone else (or by me before the SQL Refactor era), I reformat it and then I start reading.
Marco, my only issue with workstation-based tools like RedGate's, as well as it works, is that I have to install (and therefore register) it on every workstation. I use easily a dozen VMs across two desktops and two laptops, and may be working on code on any one of them at any time. It is not always convenient to move to the physical machine where the tool is installed and registered (or RDP to it) in order to re-format the code. Ideally, at some point, I will have enough hooks into my co-workers that all their code comes out looking like mine. :-)
I completely agree, Adam... poorly formatted code drives me crazy. I used to spend a lot of time updating it manually, but then someone on Twitter pointed me to a free tool, http://www.dpriver.com/pp/sqlformat.htm. Maybe it'll save you some time and headache, too. :)
Any idea when the built in tools from MS will format code consistently? When they can't do this simple task it makes for more work for us. I get especially frustrated when I manually format some SQL, then choose it and use Design Query in Editor and it blow away my formatting and returns a mess
Adam, I don't agree that the JOIN is the sibling of FROM. I indent all the main clauses (FROM, GROUP BY, HAVING, WHERE) at one level of indent, and then further indent the portions of that clause. But I strongly agree that consistent formatting is key.
And I agree with Marco - I like SQL Refactor and SQL Prompt.
I love it! I am so on board with this topic.
One thing that hit a personal chord with this post is the need to re-format the T-SQL code. It always amazes me that there are hidden subqueries, derived tables, cases, etc buried in the unformatted code.
One of the worst offenders I've seen of unformatted code is in SSIS EXECUTE SQL transforms. It seems like MS didn't really expect anyone to format the code. It does a miserable time of maintaining formatting that looks good in Query Analyzer.
Some of my personal hot buttons... use of CasE and lack of white space.
Everyone is not going to have the same style... but when I have the opportunity to promote a style I do. The message is to always develop a style.
When I do update a procedure if I have to update a query in a sproc I always put it in my style (since I am the owner of the legacy db). That way I can tell down the road, in addition to header and in-line comments, that I touched it.
Great topic.
I know this article is almost a year old, but I was curious as to what you do for GROUP BY: Do you put every item on a separate line here too?
Hi Charles,
Yes, that's exactly what I do. My goal is to be as close as possible to 100% consistent -- doing the same exact thing in every place. This means that every piece of code I write should always follow the same rules, making it very easy to read once you've read one piece of code, and making it so that I don't have to think about formatting anymore.
So far, so good.

John Pensyl disappeared at a bus stop outside a Walmart on the edge of Wilmington.
On May 17, 2012, Tom Pensyl dropped his son, John, off at a bus stop outside a Walmart on the edge of Wilmington. His plan was to run errands while John spent the afternoon riding around the city entertaining himself, something the 20-year-old enjoyed doing on a fairly regular basis.
That was a year ago. No one has heard from John since.
In the immediate aftermath of John's disappearance, detectives fanned out across the woods, but their search turned up empty. They talked to bus drivers working in that area, but no one remembered seeing him. They even interviewed nearby store employees, hoping John may have walked in to buy something. But again, nothing.
Meanwhile, news organizations plastered his picture all over television and the Internet. But the coverage only generated a single tip, from a phone repairman who told police about an encounter with John a day before he vanished.
With no clues to John's whereabouts, all anyone can do now is wait and pray that he pops up on the proverbial radar, hopefully alive.
"I think there's a good chance that he's fine, somewhere. I just wish he would let us know," his father said, glancing down as he spoke to a reporter at a bookstore coffee shop. "But it's tough. It's worrisome."
Some 15,000 people were reported missing in North Carolina last year, but more than 96 percent of them turned up fine, a majority within two days, said Nona Best, supervisor of the state's Center for Missing Persons.
That John has not re-emerged in a year, and that he disappeared without a trace, leaves police and family to only speculate: Did he hop a bus or simply wander away? Was he kidnapped? Did he kill himself? Did an unfortunate accident befall him? Anything is possible.
The lead investigator, Detective Lee Odham, who recounted the investigation during a Wednesday sit-down with the StarNews at the Wilmington Police Department, said he uploaded John's description and photographs to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, or NamUs, a nationwide database available to the public.
Odham also sent John's dental records to the University of North Texas, which, with its staff of scientists, has become a clearinghouse for identifying bodies and matching DNA to human remains found across the country.
Dixie Peters, technical leader for the university's Center on Human Identification, said scientists there process from 750 to 1,000 samples from human remains each year, and have made more than 1,000 identifications since its inception more than a decade ago.
Advances in science and vast databases like NamUs have become increasingly influential in tracking down the missing and putting a name to the estimated 4,400 unidentified bodies found every year, experts say.
If John Pensyl, now 21, is alive and ever runs into police officers, they will be alerted to his status as a missing person if they check his name against the National Center for Criminal Information, a system somewhat similar to NamUs but available only to law enforcement.
That John has gone missing before has actually fueled optimism about his current state.
He attended Myrtle Grove Middle School and Ashley High School in New Hanover County, and completed a year at Cape Fear Community College, his father said. He dropped out about the same time he was a diagnosed with schizophrenia.
He started disappearing for days at a time, sending his father on searches. But John always turned up – once sleeping by the boardwalk in Carolina Beach, another time at a bank in Charlotte toting a sleeping bag.
"He was that age where he didn't want to be at home," his father said. "He just didn't put it together that he needed a place to stay before he took off."
Asked if he would like to send a message to his son, Tom Pensyl slid a strip of paper across the table. On it was typed:
I love my son, Johnny.
His family loves him.
We all miss him very much.
We think of him every day.
It pains us greatly to not know where he is.
We would love to hear from him so we could know he is OK.
– Tom Pensyl
Information about John Pensyl's whereabouts can be submitted to the Wilmington Police Department at 343-3600 or to Odham at 343-3686.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/12/2012 (1723 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The NDP wants to make it crystal clear that the sticker price you see for a new car is the price you pay.
The government introduced legislation Monday that would mean a penalty for any new- or used-car dealer who uses false advertising when selling vehicles.
It would require dealers to include all fees, charges, levies and taxes in advertisements, unless the ad indicates PST and GST are not included.
"This legislation means the price you see is the price you pay," Premier Greg Selinger said at a news conference at a Nairn Avenue auto dealership.
The legislation would also require dealers to disclose the model year of the vehicle and whether it's used.
"That sounds elegantly simple, but it's something that has needed to be put in consumer-protection law for a long time," Selinger said.
Selinger said many car-buyers have been confused about what final price they would pay when they walked into an auto dealer.
"This legislation makes it easier for them to know what that price is before they make that decision," he said. "They don't have go through a bunch of additional calculations to know what the price is going to be before they write the cheque."
Beatrice Dyce, acting directing of the province's Consumer Protection Office, said under the new legislation, her office would have the authority to issue compliance orders against offenders and impose administrative penalties of up to $5,000.
Dyce said her office will check compliance by monitoring newspaper advertising and customer complaints.
Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia have similar legislation. Manitoba's will likely be in force next summer.
John Carey, past president of the Manitoba Motor Dealers Association, said the legislation raises advertising standards for the entire industry.
Carey said the association worked with the government in crafting the legislation.
Mike Mager, president and CEO of CAA Manitoba, said the legislation gives consumers the ability to become better educated when buying a vehicle.
For example, he said some dealers include a roadside assistance fee in the final price, a fee that should be voluntary.
"There's an example where it's not all transparent and open and clear," he said, estimating in some cases various hidden fees can add more than $1,000 to a vehicle purchase.
The proposed legislation is in keeping with what the NDP has done in other consumer-protection measures over the past year, including clearer language for cellphone contracts, a proposed mandatory warranty on new homes, restrictions on payday loan companies and rules requiring car repair shops to be more upfront about the work they're doing.

HOUSTON - Are you paying too much when you book vacations online? New accusations are being leveled at some of the most popular travel websites, claiming that they are price-fixing hotel room rates.
They're the websites that claim to save you money -- Priceline, Travelocity, Expedia and Orbitz.
The lawsuit, filed by the Hagens Berman law firm in Seattle, claims online travel booking sites account for as much as 50 percent of hotel bookings in the United States. The suit claims it's why big name hotels Marriott, Intercontinental, Sheraton and Hilton have signed contracts with the online booking sites agreeing that they won't sell rooms for a lower price to competitors.
In response to these allegations, Orbitz, Travelocity and Marriott told NBC that the lawsuit is without merit. Intercontinental said it believes its pricing practices and arrangements with online booking agencies are within the law.

Robert Zoellick, president of the World Bank, has said that gold is the "elephant in the G20 meeting room" and has suggested that the metal should be given a role in any fundamental reshaping of the global monetary system which may emerge from current international discussions. Although this was initially interpreted as a call for a return to the gold standard, Mr Zoellick on Wednesday said that this would be impractical. Instead, he seems to believe that gold should act as a kind of signalling mechanism, which flashes warning signs when uncertainty is rising, and confidence is falling, in the global economy. Maybe, but I am struggling to understand how this could be made to work in practice. Read more

MOTORISTS in Rawtenstall were experiencing long delays this morning after a water main in the town centre burst.
It is believed that the burst water main then caused the road to collapse.
The incident happened near to the Queens Arms pub, but traffic is affected heading in all directions towards the roundabout.
A United Utilities spokesman said: "An emergency water mains repair will cause long delays in Rawtenstall today.
"Queens Square roundabout is down to one lane. Really sorry, the team has been working overnight on this difficult job. It could be tomorrow before the lane is reopened."
Neil Tuersley, United Utilities Service Delivery Manager, said: "This emergency work is causing long delays on the roads today and we are genuinely sorry for the inconvenience this will cause people.
"For this to happen in such a traffic sensitive place while we are already creating disruption with the sewer scheme is extremely bad luck. We want to get the pipe and road repaired as soon as possible and get this lane reopened."
The burst water main is unrelated to the £7m sewer project, which started earlier this year to help clean-up watercourses in the town. There have been no water supply issues for customers during this leak.
Traffic information:
Queens Square roundabout is being reduced to one lane, clockwise from junction of Bury Road to Bacup Road.
A682 heading North into Rawtenstall coming from M66 North, 2 lane dual carriageway is being reduced to one lane approaching the roundabout.
Traffic likely to affect all roads approaching roundabout including:
A682 bypass northbound
A681 Haslingden Road
A681 Bocholt Way
Bury Rd
Bacup Road Eastbound
A682 St Mary's Way southbound
There are already traffic restrictions in the area due to the work on the sewers. These are:
A682 St Mary's Way northbound with two lanes reduced to one lane
Bacup Road eastbound have temporary traffic lights in place.
Vehicles travelling round the roundabout will not be able to turn right onto St Marys Way, so are being diverted down Bacup Road, where there are temporary traffic lights.

Dickerson forces extras, lifts Rockies in 13th
Outfielder hits tying homer in ninth, rips walk-off single to reward 'pen
DENVER -- Corey Dickerson's motto is hit the ball hard and let the details work themselves out.
In the 13th inning Saturday -- a night when his ninth-inning homer into the third deck in right field created extra innings -- Dickerson lined a single to right to drive in the winning run in the Rockies' 5-4 victory over the Marlins in front of 31,109 at Coors Field.
Dickerson's winning liner, off Sam Dyson (2-1), was almost too hard to end the four-hour, 28-minute game. Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton had time to throw to the plate and nearly erase Nolan Arenado, whose double had opened the inning.
"I knew he [third-base coach Stu Cole] was going to send him," said Dickerson, who grounded out with the bases loaded against Dyson in the Rockies' 13-5 loss Friday night, but waited for the second pitch to win Saturday's game. "Being the 13th inning, it was the right decision, even though Stanton has a great arm. He made a good throw, and luckily Nolan beat it."
The game had seemed to slip through the Rockies' fingertips. The Marlins took a 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth when Adeiny Hechavarria's high, one-hop bounce ticked off the end of pitcher LaTroy Hawkins' glove for an RBI single.
But Dickerson led off the bottom of the inning by sending a 3-1 sinker from Marlins closer Steve Cishek deep into the night for his 19th homer this season. It was the 33rd third-deck homer in Coors Field history, and it handed Cishek his fourth blown save in 35 chances this season.
The one strike of the at-bat came when Dickerson swung off-balance. But when the time came, he kept his legs in good position and did batting practice-type damage.
"I've done it a couple of times in BP," Dickerson said. "We joke around and they tell me, 'Do it in a game.' I got a good pitch and put a good swing on it. It was pretty awesome that it went that far."
The Rockies have won five games in a nine-game homestand that concludes Sunday. It's their first winning homestand since May 1-6. They won 3-of-5 in a May 16-22 homestand, but there is a suspended game with the Giants -- which will conclude Sept. 1 -- hanging in the balance.
"You see the fight we have in these games," said Brandon Barnes, who hit his seventh homer of the season, a two-run shot in the third against Marlins starter Tom Koehler. "What's that? Three come-from-behind wins in this homestand?"
Rockies reliever Matt Belisle (4-6) threw a 1-2-3 13th. The inning ended with a spinning throw by Arenado, whose play was the Rockies' answer to Hechavarria's running over-the-head catch to rob Justin Morneau of a possible game-winning hit in the bottom of the 12th.
"That would have been a tough one to lose after coming close so many times," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.
Belisle, who fanned one, was one of eight Rockies relievers who combined for 11 strikeouts and no walks. Colorado relievers walked seven in Friday night's loss.
On Saturday, Rex Brothers entered with two out and runners at first and third, then fanned Garrett Jones in a left-on-left confrontation to end the sixth. Juan Nicasio and Boone Logan did their jobs after having pitched Friday, and Adam Ottavino struck out two with one on to end the eighth. Hawkins gave up three hits, all with two out, but struck out two in the ninth.
Nick Masset threw the 10th and 11th, benefiting from a diving play by shortstop Josh Rutledge to start a double play in the 11th. Brooks Brown had a spotless 12th after having thrown two innings Friday. Belisle also pitched Friday.
"We kind of reversed what we did the night before," Masset said. "You could tell everyone was a little angry."
Rockies starter Jordan Lyles came out break-even on a difficult night. Lyles, who pushed across the Rockies' first run when he grounded into a double play with runners at first and third in the third inning, gave up seven hits and three runs, and he struck out five in five innings. He walked five, one with the bases loaded, and hit a batter, but left with the score tied at 3.
The Marlins left 15 on base.
"In one-run games in this ballpark, that's tough," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "You can put a big number up quick and in one swing. But we had chances. We had a lot of chances."

Here is a short video of it getting happy on the BGE:
Wish there was smell-o-vision... The cubed up skinless boneless chicken thighs had a great aroma from the seasoned flour mixture while it was frying up.
I took the chicken out with a slotted spoon and allowed the excess oil to drain off on some paper towels. Then I took the papetr towels out and added the sauce.
My wife has perfected her fried rice. It's some awesome stuff.
Gotta have Chinese Food at least once per week. It is very healthy for you.

Forums: Index → Watercooler → Pokémon Techniques
I liked what Devitt.logan did with Counter Shield. Since the anime (manga, games and movies too?) has made all these techniques utilizing Pokémon moves (electricity coated Pikachu and Swellow), how about making technique pages? Here's what I think the box should look like if approved:
{{Pokémon Technique Box |type = |type2 = |name = |image = |moves utilized = |category = |trainer(s) = |debut = |media = }}
--OmegaRasengan (talk) 18:14, November 16, 2013 (UTC)
- I made a demo of what could be the template here. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 07:37, November 18, 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, for some reason the template isn't showing now. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 17:34, November 18, 2013 (UTC)
Hm, hard to say that we should apply this. Wouldn't be a better solution to merge it under one page? Energy X 19:22, November 18, 2013 (UTC)
- What do you mean by merging? --OmegaRasengan (talk) 19:34, November 18, 2013 (UTC)
- @Slayingthehalcyon - I made a sandbox template but for some reason isn't working at the moment. And I'm sure other users could manage to squeeze some info/benefits in. Plus it's not uncommon of articles with little info. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 20:44, November 18, 2013 (UTC)
- Support: This is good idea.I support it.--Monfernape 05:33, November 18, 2013 (UTC)
- Support: lol hmm, splitting the anime universe from the game universe and still actually having mechanics-based info? This may be an interesting move and I for one am in support of it. 01:44, November 18, 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose: Until I can see a box or something that will be used and what the exact benefits of this are, My thoughts are no. There's just not enough information given on this page or the pages linked to make me think that this is a good idea... Slay Talk "Shadows wonder why we scream."20:08,11/18/2013 4,527
- Oppose: Shouldn't we just have it on the Pokémon's page (eg. Aqua Ice Jet for Ash's Buizel) under a sub-section of "Known moves" as "Improvised moves". RainbowShifter 16:36, November 19, 2013 (UTC)
- Weak support: While I agree that these moves are unique in that they differ with how the game works, I agree with Slaying that there might just not be enough info for separate pages for each instance. However, I do support this idea and will add a little comment on my thoughts: How about we do what Energy suggested above about a hub page for all the moves seen and in each section, all examples of said move would be listed? Then, if any section gets big enough for its own article, we split it off. Lord of Shadows Words mean nothing! 23:25, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

Texas Parks and Wildlife Buys North Texas Land for Future State Park
AUSTIN – The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department closed on the purchase of 3,333 acres of Cross Timbers region ranch land from several different owners late last week. TPWD paid $7.14 million for the property that straddles the Palo Pinto and Stephens county line near the town of Strawn.
TPWD and the Nature Conservancy identified the property that sits just a few miles north of Interstate 20 for a future state park site after spending the last few years exploring land in Johnson, Bosque, Erath, Hood, Parker, Palo Pinto and Tarrant counties. The state purchased three contiguous tracts composed of two ranches, and a 42-acre in-holding, located roughly an hour's drive west of downtown Fort Worth.
Funds for the purchase come from the $9.2 million netted from sale in 2008 of the former Eagle Mountain Lake State Park, a sale made possible by an array of private and public donors. The transaction was done with the explicit understanding, supported by Gov. Rick Perry and area legislators, that the proceeds would be used to acquire another state park within 90 miles of downtown Fort Worth. The Legislative Budget Board also had signed off on the use of the Eagle Mountain property sales proceeds to purchase land for a new north Texas state park.
"By any measure, this property was worth the wait" says TPWD Executive Director Carter Smith. "We are excited about its diversity and the many recreational opportunities it will ultimately provide to the citizens and park enthusiasts of north Texas. The acquisition of the new park site never would have happened without the extraordinary generosity of so many private and public donors from the Ft. Worth area. All of us who care about the future of our state parks owe these entities a great debt of gratitude."
The remainder of the $9.2 million from the sale of Eagle Mountain Lake State Park will be held in a dedicated sub-account for future park land acquisition and/or improvements.
TPWD and TNC have been working closely with landowners and local officials, including the mayor of Strawn, to ensure public support for the project. A cooperative agreement is in the works to include the use of 81-acre Tucker Lake in the proposed state park.
Smith has indicated that it will take some time to complete a master plan to guide public use and development of the site, which due to limited resources to staff and operate the park, might take several years to open. When the gates of Texas' 94th state park do swing open, Carter believes the state's investment "will pay recreational and conservation dividends for generations to come."
The future state park property is rich in natural resources, fronting two miles on the north fork of Palo Pinto Creek and consisting of diverse topography ranging from hilltop vistas to riparian forests. The land is home to plentiful wildlife, including the endangered golden-cheeked warbler.

I used a very busy print, but this dress has very flattering lines and perfect for wearing in a country with a relatively conservative dress code. Don't have much to say, it was a pretty straightforward make.

Looks really nice on you! I must confess that I even like your variant more than in the magazine. Probably it's just your pattern:) I like the fabric and the your work and the way you look, not it's clear that the dress is worthy.

JOPLIN, Mo. – Carl Dunne's record-breaking freshman season came to an end Saturday morning from Joplin, Missouri as he placed 156th in the 2012 NCAA Division II National Championship race. His finishing time of 32:06.2 broke the Saint Leo University all-time fastest 10K record, which Dunne himself previously held.
The 245-person race featured top runners from all over the country, including many high-level competitors from the Sunshine State Conference. Dunne, a native from Monasterboice, Ireland, finished fourth among SSC runners, just behind Florida Tech's Moses Kirui (76th), Nova Southeastern's Kevin Meagher (150th), and Florida Tech's Chris Cacciapaglia (151st).
"Carl had a great race and represented Saint Leo very well. The race went out much faster than he is accustomed to, but he responded well," said assistant coach Kent Reiber. "He was focused and determined to run well, and that's what he did. Coach Miller-Mangen and myself are proud of his performance and Carl is already looking forward to making the trip back next year."
Overall, it was Micah Chelimo of Alaska Anchorage who took home the first-place victory as he finished the 10K race in 28:56.6 and ended his senior season. Adams State (CO) claimed the National Championship team title as they sprinted to the finish line and collected 34 points, which was almost 70 points faster than the second-place team, Colorado Mines.
Dunne's freshman season came to an end with numerous accolades, including being named the Sunshine State Conference Freshman of the Year as well as USTFCCCA All-South Region.
After participating in just eight races during his freshman season, Dunne notched his name five times on the Saint Leo all-time fastest 8K record book, as well as twice on the 10K record book, claiming the top position in both.
