Do you think its possible to recognize him as Konohamaru Sarutobi? --Kakashi Namikaze 14:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- The same reason why we don't call Tsunade, Tsunade Senju or Naruto Uzumaki Naruto Namikaze. We do not know for certain what their last name is and this isn't the place to assume.--TheUltimate3 14:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I think it is time to change it to Konohamaru Sarutobi. He says that he and his uncle Asuma are part of the Sarutobi Clan which kind of confirmed that Sarutobi is his Last name.
- As long as Konohamaru's surname hasn't been stated to be Sarutobi, we shouldn't change it. It is still possible that Konohamaru has a different surname, or even has no surname at all. --ShounenSuki 19:12, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Now Konohamaru surname been confirmed on chapter 428. We should change the name then on here right. To Konohamaru Sarutobi. Hopemon 05:34, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Has it been stated who showed him how to perform the Rasengan? None of the other Rasengan user's were ever seen interacting with him (except naruto maybe). Could he had learned it himself like he leran the Harem jutsu? WhiteStrike 01:20, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- Newest chapter revealed that Naruto taught it to him some time after he and Jiraiya found the Fifth Hokage.--TheUltimate3 02:01, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Go check in Onemanga.com Chapter 428 pages 4-6 Did someone notice when in manga when naruto taught Konohamaru Rasengan, Naruto looked like in Part I but Konohamaru like in Part II?--LeafShinobi (talk) 13:49, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, probably just a mistake. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 15:31, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
- But can we assume thatit should be Part I?--LeafShinobi (talk) 15:41, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
- I think we can. Not only did Naruto have very little time to teach Konohamaru the Rasengan in Part II and would Konohamaru already know about the Rasengan then, but Naruto's design is far better know to Kishimoto-sensei than Konohamaru's, so it would be less likely he'd make a mistake with that. Not to mention that Konohamaru's Part I and Part II designs are very similar. The way Naruto is talking about the Rasengan also makes me think he himself had only just learnt it. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 16:08, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Post Hidan and Kakuzu arc
Eugh, the "Post Hidan and Kakuzu arc" section is starting to look horrible. Piles of small notes inside of parenthesis. Notes in parenthesis is something you are supposed to avoid using at all costs. It's not a MoS thing, it's a universal rule in writing. Adding piles of notes inside of parenthesis ruins the flow of an article and lowers the written quality of the article. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 26, 2008 @ 11:06 (UTC)
When did it say his age?
- Third Databook and please sign your comments. --Silver Ninja-Talk-Contributions 18:46, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
In chapter 427 page 3 we can see Konohamaru performs a hand-seal. what jutsu does he intend to perform? I think it was written ones in the chapter but I guess the translation was updated and changed.—This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
- The next time he is seen; his Shadow clone fights Pain (chapter 428 page 1). However, from what I can tell, he is using the dragon hand seal, and the only jutsu I have found that starts with it is Shadow Neck Bind Technique. It might be a hand seal for some sort of diversion jutsu. Jacce | Talk 18:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
infobox picture
Should Konohamaru infobox image be changed because it is not his first appearance? Ttogafer (talk) 15:07, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Do you mean where he's wearing a helmet? He wears goggles for most of Part I, and the only criteria is that the image be from Part I. ~SnapperTo 18:06, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
Infobox Messed Up
Someone messed up the infobox and i don't know how to fix it (really im afriad of making it worst.) Can someone please fix it? --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 20:26, December 29, 2009 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
Considering his last name is Sarutobi, wouldn't Asuma's sibling be his dad? When you marry the woman normally changes her last name to her husband's last name.
-A Naruto fan
- Also, it isn't uncommon in Japan for a man to marry into a higher-standing family and assume his wife's family name. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 19:15, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
Wind Nature Type
seeing konohamaru using rasengan that bugged me wasn't rasengan an wind release technique ? doesn't that make konohamaru a wind nature type ? --Petar93 (talk) 23:19, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Rasengan doesn't use nature transformation, thats Wind Release: Rasengan which only Naruto uses.--Deva 27 (talk) 23:22, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe Naruto just has more chakra than Konohamaru, what with him being the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails and all. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 09:42, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Bottomline, Konohamaru isn't Wind natured as far as we know. Why do so many people think that the basic Rasengan is wind natured? First Kakashi, now Konohamaru. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 12:26, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
no no about kakashi ok he copied it i never said anything but i think that konohamaru might use some nature type and combine it with rasengan therefore making it small --Petar93 (talk) 21:24, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
- You didn't, but last week someone tried to add Wind Release to Kakashi's natures, saying that he was wind natured because he could use Rasengan. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:29, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
yeah that sucks :D :D and about not been perfect hey remember naruto trained konohamaru throw all the steps of the rasengan and it seems that he got it cuz if he hadn't he would not be able to do rasengan :P but hey and remember when naruto promised konohamaru to teach him a bigger rasengan i am almost sure he was talking about Oodama rasengan --Petar93 (talk) 00:08, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
- And even if he does teach him Odama Rasengan, it still isn't a Wind natured technique. His small Rasengan is most likely because he has less chakra and is less skilled then Naruto when he learned it. Also, consider how Naruto learned to do the original Rasengan: with the balloon and the ball for forming the shape. His Rasengan was that size. Maybe he trained Konohamaru with a smaller-sized object.
Sexy Jutsu: Hot Body Pole Dance
No one gonna make an article for that and add it to his jutsu list?--暗闇の門番 - "Gatekeeper of Darkness" (言うことを何かを得た - "You got something to say?") 03:59, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
- When was that ever used, and by whom? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:40, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
- Anime, fourth hokages legacy (part 1?), by konohamaru. SimAnt 22:41, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
- yeah. It was used By Konohamaru, and Naruto himself stated he could use it. I'd add it myself, but I don't know where I'd get the kanji and other things, and I don't want to get in trouble.--暗闇の門番 - "Gatekeeper of Darkness" (言うことを何かを得た - "You got something to say?") 23:44, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
In the trivia, I read this part:
- Although Asuma has been confirmed as his uncle, Konohamaru's parents have not been shown and it is currently unknown which of them is Asuma's sibling. However, it is known that Asuma was the younger., can we say that Asuma's sibling is Konohamaru's father? Because of course if his sibling is a female, Konohamaru will be on the other clan of his father. --_-_-=NejiLoverr26 (Talk-Contribs.-Links) 06:50, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
- In Japan, it isn't uncommon for a man to marry into his wife's clan, if that clan is more important or in need of a male heir. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 08:00, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
- No Shounen, that wasn't I mean, it was obvious that his father was Asuma's brother, and if her mother was his sibling, he will not be on that (Sarutobi) clan, but his father's clan. --_-_-=NejiLoverr26 (Talk-Contribs.-Links) 08:46, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
- No, it's not obvious. As I said, it isn't uncommon for a man to marry into his wife's clan in Japan. In other words, Konohamaru's mother can be Asuma's sister, yet Konohamaru could still be a Sarutobi. And that's not even bringing marriages within the clan into this. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 09:44, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, I get your point. Maybe his father died and the mother can name her after her surname. Am I right? I was really focusing on his parents, not the marriages thing. --_-_-=NejiLoverr26 (Talk-Contribs.-Links) 13:35, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
- No, it's not obvious. As I said, it isn't uncommon for a man to marry into his wife's clan in Japan.

- You're still not understanding the Japanese culture. If Asuma has a sister and she marries a husband that doesn't belong to a clan or is from a clan of lesser status then her husband would become a Sarutobi hence Konohamaru's name would still be "Sarutobi".--Cerez365™ 13:45, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Well fine... the higher clan status between the parents, and the child will go to the higher one if possible ^_^_-_-=NejiLoverr26 (Talk-Contribs.-Links) 07:53, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
- I can't help but ask but is this the same situation with Naruto? The Uzumaki clan is "higher" rank than Namikaze, so Naruto was placed in the Uzumaki clan. I also understand that the third hokage probably made it Uzumaki for security reasons.--Alastar 89 (talk) 07:07, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
- No, the reason Naruto was given the Uzumaki name was clearly explained as being a security measure. Also, it's rather rare for a man to take on their wife's name. It generally only happens when either the name is on the verge of extinction, or if the woman is the only heir to the family and even then usually only if there is some sort of family company or tradition involved. A good example would be the Nintendo family:
- Nintendo was founded in 1889 by Fusajirō Yamauchi. He only had a daughter, Tei, so his son-in-law, Sekiryō Kaneda, married into the Yamauchi family and took on the Yamauchi name.
- In the case of Minato and Kushina, there is no reason why Minato would take on the Uzumaki name. Being from another village, the Uzumaki clan had no real standing in Konoha, nor were there any (known) reasons of inheritance. It's highly likely that Kushina was simply known as Kushina Namikaze after their marriage.
- Of course, in the case of the Sarutobi family, it is also highly likely that it was Konohamaru's father who was the son of Hiruzen. However, we simply cannot just assume this, because there is the possibility that this isn't the case. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 13:10, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
- I'll admit Shounen-senpai that your ^ explanation makes me understand it now. Of course it's rather rare for a man to take his wife's name. But there's really higher possibility that his father was Sarutobi's son... --NejiLoverr26 (Ilnarutoanime) 13:39, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique
When did Konohamaru use the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique in the anime? I don't remember it. --220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:19, October 22, 2011 (UTC) zhvan
- In the OVA for the fifth Shippūden movie. You can see it in a couple promos. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:53, October 22, 2011 (UTC)
- Lordy this was ridiculously hard to find but here it is. It's at the 27s mark.--Cerez365™ 00:18, October 23, 2011 (UTC)
Wind Release
Should he have Wind Release listed also (since he can use the Ransengan)? --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 14:19, November 5, 2011 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- No, the original Rasengan is not a wind release. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 14:22, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Could have sworn it was. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 14:23, November 5, 2011 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- No. The only wind release-version of Rasengan is the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken that Naruto uses. The original Rasengan had Shape Transformation but not Nature Transformation. Joshbl56 14:31, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Could have sworn it was. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 14:23, November 5, 2011 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
- Oh ight, thanks. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 14:35, November 5, 2011 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
It amazes me (and not in a good way) that there are people who still think the Rasengan to be Wind Release. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:29, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

- Half an arc showed Naruto training to add Wind Release to the Rasengan. It shouldn't be a question. It's not an obscure detail. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:48, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox Image
Shouldn't we put his picture from the Naruto episode 2? --Ilnarutoanime 20:13, November 9, 2011 (UTC)
How is it he has no stats given yet ? I mean he is Naruto's "rival" and named after Konoha also grandson of Hiruzen ... Add Shadow Clones and Rasengan to that and I think he should have some stats already O_o
- Complain to Kishimoto-sensei, I'd say. Or wait until the next databook is published. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 11:04, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Ninja Rank
Is it true that Konohamaru became a Chūnin and that we should change his Rank.—This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
- While I'm not 100% sure because the OVA's been omitted from subbing for some reason, he was seen wearing a flak jacket at the end of his match with Naruto who was congratulating him. However, that does not mean he is a chūnin. Only Masashi Kishimoto has the power to give ranks and promote his characters, everything else is fodder and incorrect.--Cerez365™(talk) 01:22, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
so the oav it isn't canonical...bad i love this oav and konohamaru chunin --Nitram86 (talk) 21:47, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
If Konohamaru showed up in the next chapter as a Genin, I'd lol. This time I agree with Cerez, even though OVA counts as anime content, I'm against him being listed as Chunin. Maybe a mention in trivia section like "in the anime he is already Chunin" etc.--Elveonora (talk) 22:07, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Movie debut
Konohamaru was seen in Naruto 5: Blood Prison, seen here but we need an admin to add it to the infobox.--Cerez365™(talk) 20:05, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
Mistake in Quote?
"I promised… someday, I would fight Naruto over the name of Hokage! Naruto is my rival, hey!! That's why I can't choose to run away!! Because if I chose that path, Naruto wouldn't there at the end!!!" This is the quote I am talking about. Right at the end is where I think there is a mistake. "Naruto wouldn't there at the end. Before the "there", there should be the word "be". I don't actually know the quote, but in English, "Naruto wouldn't there" would make no sense whatsoever.

We almost had a pseudo-crisis situation in my house on Saturday morning when I was decorating the living room for Christmas.
My husband had carried up our big nativity box from the storage room in the basement and it was my job to arrange the nativity on the desk, in a place of honor.
I carefully started pulling out the ceramic figurines, all wrapped in tissue and crumpled newspaper. The barn, about 2 feet high, took up a good portion of the desk. Though years old and not quite as firm as it once was, the barn still looks pretty good. Next I unwrapped the donkey, the sheep and a shepherd carrying a lamb on his shoulders. Then came the angel, Mary and Joseph, and the three wisemen.
Each year, as I put up the nativity scene, I'm drawn to the wisemen. I have a special place in my heart for them because, after years of use, they are a bit imperfect. One of my wisemen has a broken leg. Another has a missing hand. The third wiseman is missing his gift for the baby Jesus.
They are a motley crew of wisemen but I identify with them. How many years have I come to Christmas with the best intentions, only to find myself limping my way through the season and having forgotten a gift for baby Jesus?
With my wisemen in place, I reach into the box for the star of the night, baby Jesus. I push aside the crumpled papers. I tilt the box to one side and then to the other. But baby Jesus is nowhere to be found.
I rummage through the box again, taking out every piece of wrapping, but still no baby Jesus.
I don't necessarily know a lot about life, but I do know that without baby Jesus there is no nativity story.
I begin to panic. Should I just take down the nativity set? Should I draw a baby Jesus on a piece of paper and tape the drawing in the manger? I decided neither option was a good one for me.
So I begin a more earnest search. I'm pretty sure baby Jesus has not left the house, unless one of my granddaughters carried him off sometime last year. After all I did find him in a toy box last January.
So I go from room to room, looking in desk drawers and cupboards, toy boxes and jewelry boxes, in the junk drawer in the kitchen. I wonder how long I would continue my search before I give up.
But fortunately, about 30 minutes later, I find baby Jesus, hidden behind some folders in the top drawer of the living room desk. Little baby Jesus never looked so good to me. I carefully place Him right where he belongs in the center of the manger scene, in the center of the Christmas story.
Later that evening, I sit in the living room, drinking a cup of coffee and admiring the completed manger scene. I can feel myself growing quieter and more restful ... maybe more at peace. After all, I've found baby Jesus and Christmas is complete.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
This blog post is part of a series of regular PASS updates to the community that I will be posting on the main PASS Blog and will cross post here.
It feels like eternity, yet only 6 weeks back the PASS community came together in Seattle for yet another exciting summit. The educational content was cutting edge and the company comprised of who's who of the Microsoft SQL Server world. This year's summit certainly did not fail to excite and rejuvenate everyone who attended.
The PASS board and the terrific team at HQ worked extremely hard all year to build the community at large and support various community initiatives. The summit was a time for the entire team to reach into the community, to receive input on how they had done so far and what they should do moving forward. Although the summit itself was demanding, it was also a time to celebrate successes.
As we went through the pictures from the summit, we found this collection of amazing pictures of our board members. We hope you enjoy them as well.
A short while back Mosha wrote an interesting blog entry putting together a comparison between the upcoming MS BI conference and the 2008 PASS Summit. This comparison was based on the information that was publicly available at the time. It got me thinking about the upcoming 2008 PASS Summit and the attendee experience planned. I realize that there is a lot of the summit experience that is still under planning or not fully confirmed and so, not communicated out. So, I am going to try in this blog.
When I look at my own reasons for attending conferences in the past, 3 things come to mind - Networking, experience and education, in that order, although, I can see why most companies tend to decide on which conference to send employees to based on mainly the education aspect of a conference. So, I will talk about that aspect of the PASS summit first.
The Education
The PASS summit has over 150 deep technical session (including 14 deep dive pre-conference seminars) dedicated to SQL Server. There is something (or a lot) for everyone to learn. You will have a chance to learn from the experience of your peers in the community based on real facts and implementations – not the marketing spin. You will learn what works and what doesn't work in a real-life implementation and you will learn best-practices. No other conference can claim to offer that depth of technical training. The summit also features a complete track (12 sessions) dedicated to best practices and implementation that is being delivered by the SQL CAT team. The PASS summit is also quite unique from any other conference that you may attend, in the diversity of speakers. Most other conferences generally have just a few expert speakers delivering multiple sessions. PASS has, at last count, 104 speakers delivering over 150 sessions! These speakers are not only industry experts and Microsoft product group members, but also our peers who have learnt in the trenches and are willing to share their experiences. This is one summit where you can come in and not only learn from others, but share your own experiences.
Speaking of education, the PASS summit also features a Lounge which will contain a theater where experts will conduct chalk-talks in an interactive environment. Additionally, there will be hands-on labs where you will be able to learn how to use new features in SQL Server 2008, including Business Intelligence.
All this great educational opportunity at the PASS summit certainly begs the question for Business Intelligence professionals about which conference to attend. If Mosha's full day pre-conference session on Deep dive into MDX is not enough of a reason to attend the PASS summit, you should make PASS your summit choice if you are a BI professional that interacts with the SQL Server product stack or manages and administers Business Intelligence components in your organization. Some of the sessions we have include "Building a 100TB+ Scientific Data Warehouse" by Michael Thomassy, "Collecting Analysis Services Performance Data by using Management Data Warehouse, SQL Profiler, and AS DMVs in SSAS 2008" by Carl Rabeler, "Integrating Predictive Analysis throughout the Data Lifecycle" by Donald Farmer and "High Performance Data Warehouses in SQL Server 2008" by Erin Welker. I have in the past 2 weeks spoken to a number of Business Intelligence professionals and colleagues and a large number of them are planning on attending the PASS summit and many have also indicated interest in Mosha's pre conference seminar! So, register before space fills up.
The Experience
This is the official Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Re-Launch Event! A target attendance of over 3000 professionals makes the upcoming PASS summit the largest global gathering of SQL Server professionals under one roof and a high-energy event you wouldn't want to miss. Attendees will include a few hundred members of the SQL Server product development team from Microsoft who will not only be interacting and speaking with attendees, but also attending the sessions and in some cases providing perspective on the design aspects of certain features. More importantly they will be listening to your experiences and pain points so that they can enhance the product.
Also attending will be top experts from the community including SQL Server MVP's who will be delighted to spend time answering your technical questions and helping solve those problems that have been plaguing you, at our Ask the Experts lounge. In fact, I am sure that many of your favorite bloggers will be at the summit looking forward to meeting you in person. One of the frequent feedbacks we have received from attendees in the past is that a few minutes of face-to-face time with one of the experts helping them solve their persistent problems have paid for the summit costs many times over. How's that for value! We are also expecting over 200 Microsoft employees who design, build and manage SQL Server solutions and databases within Microsoft. So, this is an opportunity to find out how they "eat their own dog food"!
Speaking of designing, building and managing solutions and databases, the summit will also feature the largest gathering of vendors dedicated to making products and solutions that allow you to extend your investments in the SQL Server product. You can learn about all these different (and some new) offerings and also compare them under one roof! One of our Platinum Sponsor this year is DELL and I am certain that you will hear about some of their Database solutions for SQL Server. This year, PASS will also (potentially) feature a new and exciting Lounge experience which I cannot talk about yet as details are not finalized – but you can expect to hear about it soon. You surely don't want to miss finding out all about them!
Part of the summit experience also includes discounted onsite certification exams where you can get certified in SQL Server 2008 product, participate in Microsoft focus groups and buy books at a discount from the book store.
There will also be some very exciting announcements from Microsoft during keynotes featuring top Microsoft SQL Server Management executives, Ted Kummert, Tom Casey and David DeWitt. Ted will provide a sneak peek at the future of SQL Server and Microsoft's data platform and discuss the latest release of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and new technologies debuting in the short-term, as well as reveal plans for long-term technology developments that will change the data platform landscape. Tom will discuss the overall strategy, design, development and delivery of the Microsoft business intelligence platform with SQL Server 2008 and beyond, while David is expected to discuss his vision for the evolution of the database and Microsoft's role in changing the face of data management.
For many of us, who are managing mission critical systems back at work, being disconnected from the office is not an option, the venue features a number of internet stations and free wireless connectivity throughout the summit venue so that you can check on your emails and the health of your servers while on-site.
This PASS summit also provides you some opportunity for relaxation and fun. Starting from our Heroes Unite theme, which will enhance your onsite experience, to the parties that we have planned for you (the Welcome reception on Tuesday, Expo Hall reception on Wednesday and a "signature" evening event on Thursday that you don't want to miss), you are sure to have a blast! We are also hosting the SQL Heroes contest that you have an opportunity to participate in. Additionally, there might be opportunities to attend other vendor sponsored parties. Be sure to walk through the Expo hall and talk to vendors to find out more.
The Networking
Now, this is why I attend the PASS summit. This is my opportunity to get to meet and know my peers and make friends, getting to know people who I can reach out to long after the summit. PASS is where I first met Kevin Kline, Wayne Snyder, Peter DeBetta, Fernando Guerrero, Kirk Haselden and a host of other community leaders who I now consider good friends. These networking opportunities are everywhere at the PASS summit starting from the welcome reception and stretching all throughout the summit, whether at the Lounge, trade-show floor, at one of the various parties or just out in the halls. I encourage all of you to take maximum advantage of this great opportunity to get to know your peers.
It all adds up to real Value!
The education and experience I described above is just a small part of the overall summit experience. The value that this summit provides you reaches far beyond the on-site experience. For example, many of the break-out sessions are recorded and available to all attendees online after the summit. This allows you to review those sessions that you could not personally attend because of the sheer amount of session choices in each time slot. You also have the opportunity to purchase a DVD of the sessions so that you can watch it at your leisure. Many of our speakers are also readily accessible to you. So, you can contact them with specific questions on their sessions even after the summit.
You should register now to reserve your seat at the summit before it potentially sells out due to on-site capacity constraints this year. To make your registration even more valuable, you should be able to find discount codes on some of the community sites that you regularly visit, like SQLBlog.com or SQLTeam.com. Check this link to find even more valuable discount offers from Solid Quality Mentors that you can take advantage of. They will certainly extend the value of your registration $'s.
I would love to hear from you, if you are planning to attend. If you are a speaker or an MVP, please consider writing a short blog about what you are planning on speaking about at PASS or what you are most looking forward to at the PASS Summit.
Last night (very very late), I attended a live webcast delivered by Peter Myers on SSRS 2008. It was a great introduction to SSRS and the new (some quite refreshing) changes. I continue to be impressed by the power of tablix and of course the dundas charts.I am certainly looking forward to working more with SSRS 2008.
BTW: Jessica Moss and I are delivering a webcast on SSIS Intro next week, but I am more excited about some other upcoming webcasts being delivered by Greg Low, Randy Dyess, Sony Jose and Craig Utley. You can find out about these webcasts and also about the recordings here. Hope to catch you there next week.
I am sure that there is already some blog or article about this. But, I encountered this today and decided to go ahead and blog anyway. I had a situation, where I expected at certain times (the first of every month), a task to fail, but regardless, I wanted the package to continue to run with success. One other issue, I had, was that I did not want to Error Handler of the package to kick off in case of this task failure. Also, since the task was in a Sequence Container, it was causing the Sequence Container execution results to be Failure thus invoking the "On Failure" workflow.
This is the default behavior where the task failure for the "Drop active jobs partition" SSAS DDL task invokes the error handler at the package level (which is where I have a global error handler) and invokes a failure of its parent container. Since I know that this task is bound to fail the 1st of every month (In this scenario, I am dropping, creating and processing a monthly SSAS partition on a daily which won't exist on the 1st of a given month), I want to gracefully "ignore" this failure and not signify a failure or write error rows in my error log tables. So, the way to handle this scenario was..
1. Create an "On Error" Event Handler on the task "Drop active jobs partition" – You can leave the event handler blank with no tasks
2. To Prevent the error from going further up the chain, open up the System Variables from within the On Error error handler of the task and change the Propogate property's value to False
This should provide the desired result where the error is contained within the task
Optionally, you can also choose to set the ForceExecutionResult property of this task to be Success so that it always signals a success – Even with this, you still need to follow the above steps to prevent errors from bubbling up in the package.
I have never been a .NET developer. Maybe that is why, despite good guidance from sqlis.com and others, I never ventured into the world of custom components. Scripting, on the other hand, I could handle thanks to Donald's book which has always provided a great reference. Well, a couple of weeks back, I finally came across a classic scenario of reuse where I could no longer avoid writing custom data flow components. So I Google'd (Live just does not make a good verb Microsoft!) away for help. Fortunately, I did not have to go too far for help. Three excellent sources of information included this article on sqlis.com by Allan Mitchell, the samples that you can install with SQL Server (usually found at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Samples\Integration Services\Programming Samples) and finally CodePlex. On CodePlex, I found the Normaliser Component written by Jamie Thomson. There are also a few good books written by a lot of my friends in the SSIS community - but I must confess that I don't always read technical books except on rare occasion. :)
The few references I cited above go a long way towards getting you close to your goals. Beyond that, you still need some .NET skill to better understand the code in relation to what you need to do for your unique situation. That is where Jessica came in. Fortunately for me, she was working on this project with me and is far more proficient in .NET that I ever will be! So, thanks to her help we got the components done. What amazed me was that with the references I mentioned above, it took less than 3 days to understand and write 2 different custom components (one synchronous and one asynchronous) and achieve high degree of reusability.
To give you a quick background on the custom components, both these custom components deal with de-limited strings in a column. The first component, which is a synchronous component, sorts and de-duplicates the data inside each row. So, if you have the following input...
1 Kirk,Donald,Anjan,Ritu,Catherine,Anjan
2 Jamie,Allan,Simon,Erik,Andy
You would end up with the following output
1 Anjan,Catherine,Donald,Kirk,Ritu
2 Andy,Allan,Erik,Jamie,Simon
The second component un-pivots a delimited string. So, in the example
You would see the following output
1 Anjan,Catherine,Donald,Kirk,Ritu 1 Anjan
1 Anjan,Catherine,Donald,Kirk,Ritu 2 Catherine
1 Anjan,Catherine,Donald,Kirk,Ritu 3 Donald
1 Anjan,Catherine,Donald,Kirk,Ritu 4 Kirk
1 Anjan,Catherine,Donald,Kirk,Ritu 5 Ritu
2 Andy,Allan,Erik,Jamie,Simon 1 Andy
2 Andy,Allan,Erik,Jamie,Simon 2 Allan
2 Andy,Allan,Erik,Jamie,Simon 3 Erik
2 Andy,Allan,Erik,Jamie,Simon 4 Jamie
2 Andy,Allan,Erik,Jamie,Simon 5 Simon
The un-pivot component preserves the order of the data in the string and does not do any sorting or removing of duplicate values. It also adds a numeric column to provide the position id of each value. Both of these components also accept the delimiter string as a custom variable to the component.
So, I am interested in hearing some feedback as to whether these components would be something you see use for?
So, I am finally back from hibernation - and I hope it lasts! It all started when I got an email today from Joe Healy. For those of you who dont know Joe, he is my favorite .NET developer evangalist from FL. You can find out more about Joe the vibrant FL community from his blog. Now, as you will find out through my blogs, I am no .NET guy - but I like Joe all the same since he does "tolerate" the SQL guys! :) Actually Joe is a great community supporter no matter what your technology preference - just make sure it is something Microsoft sells! :)
Going back to Joe's email today, he asked me if I had a blog and I promptly sent him the link to my <empty> blog site which my good friends Peter DeBetta and Adam Machanic were kind enough to set up for me. Of course he immediately pointed out that he wasn't looking for an empty blog site! So here I am.
Anyway, I have been doing some fun stuff this week with some custom SSIS components with my colleague Jessica Moss and I hope to blog about it and share that custom component as well in the next 2 - 4 days as soon as I am able to. I am also working with Master Data Management and am very excited about the potential and so will start blogging about that as well. From time to time, you will see me blog about PASS although I will try my best to balance my technical posts with my passion around community and PASS. So stay tuned!
Also, next week I will be at the MVP summit and if you are attending and are from FL, let Joe know because that is the only way you will get invited to his legendary Florida geek laager! See you there!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/11/2013 (1389 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers players emptied their lockers at Investors Group Field Sunday morning, many of them for the final time.
With the club now done for the season after a 37-7 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at IGF on Saturday, players loaded their gear into garbage bags Sunday and began to head out for the four corners of the continent.
With widespread and systemic exchange expected this winter for a Bombers team that tied a franchise record for futility with a 3-15 record in 2013, the finality of a season prematurely ended was mixed with anxiety and uncertainty about the future as players said their goodbyes.
"Change is inevitable," said offensive tackle Glenn January. "Something's going to have to happen with us to right the ship and it still remains to be seen what the solution is."
January, who has morphed into one of the undisputed leaders in the Bombers locker-room, said the mood on Sunday was "a mixed bag. You have some guys who are just happy to be out of here. And you have some guys that are still a bit despondent and upset with the outcome of the season.
"However you want to read into that, I think that could be the story of the season in itself."
One of the areas of the Bombers many think needs to be improved next season is the team's offensive line, which gave up far too many sacks this season and had difficulty developing a sustained running game.
But January thinks his unit has been unfairly tarnished.
"If you look statistically across the league, I think there's a lot of offensive lines get a free pass. If you look at our numbers compared to even our most recent opponent Hamilton, the number of sacks and hits they give up with a veteran quarterback who has a quick release is even more than we have. So I don't know how they're juggernauts and we're terrible. You have to actually boil it down and look at what the numbers say.
"Obviously we're not happy with how our season went and we can be better. But this whole sense we're the worst in the league is complete nonsense."
Hamilton gave up a league-worst 65 sacks this season, while Winnipeg gave up 50, which was sixth in the league.

Veteran guard Steve Morley is one of Winnipeg's 22 potential free agents this winter.
Morley missed the only starts of an otherwise uninterrupted five-year career with the Bombers in 2013 due to a knee injury and there was a feeling among the coaching staff even before the injury that the former NFLer's play had begun to tail off.
So, will he be back in 2014?
"That'd be nice. I love it here and love the city," said Morley. "But we'll see what happens. There's going to be a lot of changes."
x x x
Bombers starting QB Max Hall didn't have his best game against Hamilton, but he generally showed improvement during the final six weeks of the season and, if nothing else, proved himself the toughest and most durable quarterback the Bombers have had in recent memory.
Hall once again took some hellacious hits against the Ticats and was asked Sunday if the toughness he showed in the late-goings of this season, combined with the steady improvement, warranted a return invite to training camp next year.
"I try to stay in there, man. I feel like I'm pretty resilient and can play through pain," said Hall. "I think I grew as a quarterback in this league and showed that I can lead this team... I think I'm very capable of being a starter if that's the route they decide to go. But that's not my decision. If they decide to try bring someone else in, hopefully I'm still here and it's a guy I can learn from and just keep getting better."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/8/2012 (1816 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
REGINA -- Of all the matchups in the Labour Day Classic, Glenn January against Odell Willis holds the most interest.
The veteran Blue Bombers left tackle, a trusted quarterback protector, expects that going against Willis, currently working as a pass rush demon for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, will be a tall task -- given Willis' motivation to show well versus his former team.
The Bombers shipped Willis to Regina in the off-season, labeling his a disruptive presence in the locker-room.
"He's had this game circled for a while," January said Friday afternoon.
The 29-year-old lineman said his last run-in with Willis was a bizarre one, a chance meeting that involved his car and the 2011 sack leader on Corydon Avenue before CFL training camps opened.
Said January: "I turned left past Bar Italia and there was somebody receiving medical attention, there was like all these ambulances, and I was like 'What's going on over there?' Then I turned and I had to slam on my brakes -- there's Odell in front of my car. I could've (run him over)."
January said the first thing Willis yelled to him was about this game: "I'll see you at Labour Day."
"It will be fun to get out and play against him, for sure," added January. "It should be interesting to see what he's like, playing for another team. He's doing a lot of the same things he did here."
Willis has four sacks this season.
The forecast for the LDC calls for sunny skies and mid-20s temperatures. No mention of the wind, yet, but you can bet it will be there. It's always windy in Regina.
Bombers punter Mike Renaud is ready.
"It played with my mind at first (as a rookie), but I got over it pretty quick," said Renaud, whose 42.6 yard punting average puts him near the bottom of CFL punters in 2012 (but is slightly better than last year's 42.1 average).
That average doesn't tell the whole story, though, as he's been one of the better directional punters in the league through eight games. From his CFL-high 63 punts, Renaud has pinned the opposition inside 20-yards 21 times -- including six times inside the 10-yard line.
Both receiver Terrence Edwards and linebacker Marcellus Bowman were back practising Friday. Defensive back Johnny Sears (undisclosed) won't make the trip; Demond Washington fills his spot in the secondary. Head coach Tim Burke said Washington will remain the Bombers kick returner, despite the drops he had last week.
Winnipeg 17, Saskatchewan 4.
That was the score the last time the Bombers beat the Riders on their home, fertile soil. It was eight years ago, way back in 2004 when Jim Daley (who relived Dave Ritchie earlier in the season) was the Bombers head coach.
That was the last time the club swept the prairie doubleheader, as well. The next week, the Blue and Gold beat the Riders 27-24 at Canad Inns Stadium.
The Regina drought is currently the second-longest win famine for the travelling Bombers. Only their lack of success in Calgary (0-9 at McMahon Stadium since 2003) is more disheartening.

PHILADELPHIA - Unveiled by the University of Pennsylvania at the 2011 football season finale, the Chuck Bednarik statue will be on display at its permanent home for the first time on Saturday when the Quakers host Villanova in the 2012 home opener at Franklin Field.
The statue is located inside Gate 2 on the North side of Franklin Field, and will be complemented by a collage honoring the history of the Philadelphia Eagles during their time playing at Franklin Field (1958-70).
The unveiling ceremony took place at halftime of Penn's matchup with Cornell on Nov. 19. Former Eagles coach Dick Vermeil introduced Bednarik during the ceremony, which took place at midfield. Tommy McDonald, Pete Retzlaff, Maxie Baughan, Eddie Khayat and Irv Cross were among Bednarik's Eagles teammates and were in attendance, along with several of Bednarik's Penn teammates.
Chuck Bednarik's Penn/Eagles Football Career
Chuck Bednarik walked onto the Penn campus midway into the 1945 season, just weeks after being discharged from the Army Air Corps. Though he had not played football for three years, his impact was immediate. Bednarik suited up and played his first week with the team. Two weeks later he was starting.
Beginning in 1946, Bednarik started at center and linebacker for three seasons. Penn was a national football power in that era, routinely drawing crowds in excess of 70,000. For most of that time the Quakers were the second-best team in the East, behind the legendary Army squads of Glenn Davis and "Doc" Blanchard.
Bednarik was named first team All-America his final two seasons at Penn. In 1948, he won the Maxwell Award and finished third in the Heisman balloting behind Doak Walker of Southern Methodist and Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice of North Carolina.
At the conclusion of the 1948 season, Bednarik became the first pick in the NFL Draft. Though the Philadelphia Eagles were the defending league champions, they earned the right to pick first when their ticket was picked from a hat through a process at the time that was known as "the bonus pick." For several years in the 1940s and 1950s, the initial pick was awarded to the winner of this lottery. The Eagles actual first pick was ninth. Without the benefit of the bonus pick the Eagles would have had no shot at the Penn star and he would have gone to one of the teams who held an early pick such as the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers or New York Giants.
As the first choice of the 1948 draft, Bednarik received a $3,000 bonus and a salary of $7,000. He alternated starting at linebacker and center as a rookie, and the season was punctuatedby the Eagles winning the 1949 league championship game, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 14-0.
The 1950s did not go nearly as well for the Eagles, as they lost more games than they won most seasons during that decade. Bednarik announced his retirement, effective at the conclusion of the 1959 season, and was even given a Farewell Day at Franklin Field. The financial concerns associated with raising what was soon to become five daughters forced a change of plans, however, and thus Chuck showed up at training camp in 1960 for what was to become the defining season of his career and one that would indelibly brand the legend of "Concrete Charlie."
After playing almost exclusively at center the past two seasons, Bednarik -- at age 35 -- would be required to start at both center and linebacker for many of the games. On November 20 of that year, in a game against the New York Giants at Yankee Stadium with first place on the line, Bednarik closed things out with the legendary tackle that many years later NFL Films would label as "The Greatest Hit in NFL History." With the Giants driving late in the fourth quarter for a potential game-tying touchdown, Frank Gifford turned upfield after catching the ball on a crossing pattern. Before he could take another step, Bednarik met him shoulder to chest and separated the receiver from the ball. The Sports Illustrated picture of Bednarik standing over the prone Gifford has become one the iconic sports photos of all time.
The Eagles would go on to face the Green Bay Packers in the championship game at Franklin Field, where they handed Vince Lombardi the only postseason loss of his brilliant coaching career. Playing center and linebacker, Bednarik was on the field for every snap of the ball, and the game ended with him sitting atop Jim Taylor nine yards from the end zone as the final seconds ticked off the scoreboard clock. Bednarik played 58 minutes, sitting out only the kickoffs. He finished the game with 12 tackles and a fumble recovery, and he knocked Paul Hornung out of the game with a jarring third-quarter tackle.
Bednarik retired following the 1962 season, concluding a 14-year career in which he missed only three games due to injury. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967, his first year of eligibility.

Is there a limit to the number of javascript functions which can be included in a javascript source file, e.g.
In the myscript.js file, I have multiple functions. The second one is called alertMessage() simply outputs a message and then returns a false:
function alertMessage() {
alert("made it here");
return false; }
The first javascript function in the js file is executed when every page is loaded, and works correctly.
The alertMessage function is called by an onsubmit attribute in a form: <form id="myForm" name="myForm" method="post" action="confirm.php" onsubmit="return alertMessage()">
When the alertMessage function is in the js file and the submit button is hit, nothing happens. When it is included in the page's xhtml (surrounded by script tags), it executes when the submit button in the form is hit.
What is causing this? The code is on-line if needed.

Could you please post more of your code as its hard to gauge the issue without been able to see your entire page structure.
When the submit button of your form is clicked, it triggers the onSubmit attribute in the form tag. When the returned value of the onSubmit is false, the form does not get submitted. When the returned value of onSubmit is true, then the form gets submitted.

I have no java experience yet I've followed instructions and managed to get two scripts to work (Magic Zoom Plus and an accordion menu). I'm pretty proud of myself, although I'm sure my code is a huge mess. Now I'm trying to implement a 3rd script, a portfolio filter, and I can't get it to work. I have a feeling I'm missing something major, but I have no clue. I would love some help to get the filter to work. Also, any feedback on the code is welcome... (Don't worry about the design or Skeleton- the finished product won't look like this.) http://tinyurl.com/c55z29t
Thank you!
Hi girlnoir. Welcome to SitePoint.
Unless you are really confident with JS, I find it's better not to combine two or more scripts on one block of code. You have an accordion script applying to your menu and the filtering script, which makes things more complicated. I would suggest choosing one or the other.
Just a few other things I notice: you have used id="portfolio-list" twice on your page—once on a div and once on a UL. You should perhaps put all items insode the UL. But also be aware that you can only use and ID once per page, so using it twice or more will completely befuddle JS.
Also, you more than one jQuery script on your page, but for each one you have a link to the jQuery library. You only need to link to the library once. So put that at the top of your list of scripts and let any jQuery plugins all feed off that. You also have some scripts in the head of your document and some just before the closing body tag. Ideally, put all your scripts in the same place (I'd suggest at the bottom of the page).
Hi there,
I think one of the problems you might be having is that you are currently including several copies of the jQuery library (3, in fact).
Our first step would be to remove those duplicates and make sure that all your javascript is correctly referenced in the header of the site.
The following areas are where you are including the library:
Right near the top of the <head>:
<script src="javascripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="javascripts/filterable.pack.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
Further down in the <head> section:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/ddaccordion.js">
And once again near the bottom of the page:
================================================== -->
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="javascripts/tabs.js"></script>
We can remove all of the library references and use the latest one:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Then make sure that this reference occurs before all other code that requires jQuery.
This means that the JS section in your <head> may look like this:
================================================== -->
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/filterable.pack.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/ddaccordion.js">
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/tabs.js">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="magiczoomplus/magiczoomplus.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="magiczoomplus/magiczoomplus.js"></script>
Hopefully this will fix the problem you're currently having
I obviously took my time making tea and typing this because Ralph beat me to it
AussieJohn & ralph.m,Thank you so much for your insights and for taking the time decipher my crazy/essy code... and for not making fun of it. You responses are very helpful & now I understand what I'm working with a little better. I will make those changes tomorrow and see how it works out. I would like to try the Isotope plugin, but it looks a little complex for me because it seems I would have to do some work within the script http://isotope.metafizzy.co/docs/filtering.html, which is a little intimidating. Do you think it is doable for a novice?
I'm not much good at JS either, but the instructions on that page look pretty straightforward, so I'd say go for it. Looks like a nicely designed plugin. I've been hearing a lot about it lately.
Again, I would suggest not trying to mix this plugin with the accordion, though. I think it would be better to have the list of links across the top of the portfolio, as in the filtering demo page.
So, have your list of filters over the top, and your container for the portfolio items under that.
I've used the Isotope plugin a few times as it provided a nice quick way to do some really cool things (that would take a relatively long time to do if you had to write it yourself). It's worth giving it a try
I'll put my 2c. with Ralph as well and say that a list of filters at the top of the items that you are filtering with clear active states would be the way to go
Thank you both so much. I followed your advice and was able to get it to work. It is a little wonky, so I will give Isotope a try next.
You helped me learn a ton. I may take your advice and change the position of the filter menu, but it was good practice to get it working as is. For some reason the Accordion copyright statement won't let me move all the scripts to the bottom of the page.
Thanks again!
Glad you got things working better.
It's a few years old, and only recently has it become the favored practice to place scripts at the bottom of the page. But if it only says that in a copyright notice, don't worry about that. What they really want is for you to leave the credit to them in the script.
Thanks! If I move it, the copyright notation actually appears as text on the page. I'll make sure it is in the script & delete it from the html.
I realized an issue that I need to resolve with the filter. The filter works for the thumbnails, but there is an issue when you click on a thumbnail to enlarge it and it opens the Magic Zoom Plus gallery. When you click on the arrows to go forward & back, it is taking you through all of the images, where it should just be the ones that in that category. I know that the Magic Zoom Plus gallery works on all the images on a page. I assume that in order to get the gallery feature to apply to a category & not the whole page, there would have to be some changes to that script. Any thoughts?

I ordered mine from Apple and it's still showing "Preparing for Shipment." Still indicates it will arrive on the 14th though.
SO make sure you stay on top of what your confirmation e-mail says and make your provider stick to it!
I see this every year. If you got your order in the first batch and it didn't say "Shipping 1-2 weeks" then you'll get it on the 14th. Some carriers say ship the 14 others say deliver the 14 but as with past years they all get to the customer on the same day. They can only label and load so many units at a time so just because yours (and mine) says preparing for shipment or processing that just means it's in the huge pile waiting to have a label put on it.
Hehe, those are my pictures
Can't wait to get my new iPhone. I'll give my iPhone 4 to my mother or something.
im waiting .. for the no commitment ip4s.. its hard to wait
Is it being shipped from Apple via UPS?(Just curious)Also to anyone who has received it what colour, size, and carrier?Mine is still says "Preparing for Shipment Delivers Oct 14 via Standard Shipping"Stay strong daytonaviolet!Who should I ask about getting it on the 14th? Carrier or Apple? Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advanced.
It's definitely hit or miss. I ordered 4 new 4s' on preorder. One for each line on my account. Xmas presents for spoiled teenagers. Anyway, Monday morning I got ship/tracking on one, late Monday night I got ship/tracking on another and I am still waiting for the other two. Both still say preparing to ship as of Tuesday at 345pm. Funny thing is one of the ones that shipped was the first one I ordered and the second one to ship was the third one that was ordered about 3 hours later than the first two. Did that make sense?

High Frequency by Equalizer
If you want to look like the baddest music lover in the club, then strap this sucker to your wrist and hit the dance floor. It keeps time with a funky little equalizer on the watch face that strobes in tune to the music that's playing, so you'll look like some sort of high-steppin' robot. Shake it!
This futuristic watch looks much more like jewelry than a time piece. The LED display might take a bit of getting used to, but I think would be easy once you get the hang of it- not to mention easy to see in the dark.Added 9 Years Ago from Tokyoflash

In previous Lessons under the Ba Zhai (Eight Mansions) Topic, students have learnt how to calculate Life Gua numbers, which allows them to subsequently derive the Favorable and Unfavorable Directions for East and West Group persons.
To build upon the knowledge and skills students have acquired in earlier Lessons, Lesson FSP1306 will show them how the Life Gua method is applied, in the context of Eight Mansions Feng Shui. What students will find particularly interesting here is the knowledge to apply Life Gua in relation to the internal features/forms found in a house or residential property - in 'tuning into' the right Qi to help people succeed in their life's endeavors.
It was very interesting, I would participate again. I am also waiting for the German translation of the Coaching.
I was totally blown away by Joey Yap's generosity. I have taken classes - too many to count - and to have an offer to share the DYD information and earn some income without fees, percentages, etc., is so alien a concept that I would be proud to share and help others. I was very impressed especially when I compare the teacher to all of the others I have taken courses from. I think I would enjoy learning from Joey Yap and now need to save to attend more classes!

Sorry, Ohio State fans; the Buckeyes aren't making the Final Four this year
Kevin Kleps
It's that time of year.
A rare time when it's OK to ask your co-workers for money.
A rare time when
not watching
any games before making predictions might be more advantageous than studying all 68 teams as if you were Jon Gruden tucked away in a dark office for 72 consecutive hours.
A rare time when there is no such thing as too much television watching.
Welcome to March Madness.
And if you're an Ohio State fan, you probably watched in delight last night when the NCAA men's basketball tournament field was announced.
Ohio State is the No. 2 seed in the West Regional, a group that includes the lowest-ranked No. 1 seed (Gonzaga), the Mountain West champ (New Mexico) as the No. 3 seed, Kansas State as the No. 4 and a Big Ten rival the Buckeyes have defeated twice this season (Wisconsin) as the No. 5.
You don't need to be Joe Lunardi to realize Ohio State received the most favorable draw of the No. 2 seeds, and it's a number that has been a common one for them under Thad Matta.
The Buckeyes have been a second seed four times under their ninth-year coach. The previous three times have resulted in a trip to the Final Four (2012, when OSU lost to Kansas), a loss in the Sweet 16 (2010, to Tennessee) and a loss to seventh-seeded Georgetown in the second round (2006).
The bracket is a big reason the Buckeyes are predicted to advance to the Final Four
by eight of ESPN's 12 college hoops experts
The Buckeyes' eight-game winning streak certainly helps fuel the optimism, but I would keep a couple of things in mind before you automatically pencil your favorite team in the Final Four.
You have to figure almost everyone in the pools in which you participate will be selecting the Buckeyes. To win, it is often best to be different, even if it means going against your team.
Ohio State, remarkably, has been a No. 1 or 2 seed six times in the last eight years. In those five seasons (not counting 2013), they have lost in the Sweet 16 (2011 and 2010) or second round (2006) three times. The exceptions were pretty darn good ones — a 2012 trip to the Final Four and a 2007 appearance in the national championship game.
Prior to the winning streak, the Buckeyes had lost five of their previous 12 games, and many of us wondered if they could score enough points to make a difference in late March. Even during their eight-game streak, OSU has scored more than 68 points only twice, and the Buckeyes haven't topped 71 points in that span.
OSU's norm of 69.3 points per game doesn't hinder them in the physical Big Ten (the Buckeyes rank fourth in the league in scoring), but it might not be enough at this time of year. To be fair, the Buckeyes have been phenomenal defensively, holding the opposition to 57.9 points per game and a field-goal percentage of 39.5.
No. 2 seeds have won only one of the last 14 national championships (Connecticut in 2004), and at least one second seed hasn't advanced to the Sweet 16 in 15 of the last 16 years. Last year, two No. 2 seeds lost their first tournament game.
With all of that in mind, it's prediction time.
Sweet 16:
Louisville, Saint Louis, Michigan State and Duke in the Midwest; Gonzaga, Wisconsin, New Mexico and Ohio State in the West; Kansas, VCU, Florida and Georgetown in the South; Indiana, Syracuse, Butler and Miami in the East.
Elite Eight:
Louisville, Michigan State, Gonzaga, New Mexico (sorry, Buckeyes fans), VCU, Georgetown, Indiana and Miami.
Final Four:
Louisville, New Mexico, Georgetown and Miami.
Championship game:
Miami over Louisville.
Many analysts, and this (extremely amateur) bracketologist, believe Miami, not Gonzaga, should have received the fourth No. 1 seed. The Hurricanes are the first Atlantic Coast Conference team to win the regular-season and league tournament championship who didn't earn a top seed.
To make matters worse for the Hurricanes, they are paired with Indiana in the East, and, as we outlined above, No. 2 seeds haven't been very successful of late.
I'm going against logic and taking the Hurricanes anyway, which probably makes Ohio State fans warm up to my New Mexico pick quite a bit.
Tourney tidbits
Akron, especially without suspended starting point guard Alex Abreu, was correctly slotted as a No. 12 seed. Most of us know at least one No. 12 seed defeats a No. 5 every year (No. 12s have won at least one game in 22 of the last 24 tournaments), but the Zips have a very unfortunate draw in Virginia Commonwealth.
The committee certainly was aware
of the friendship between Akron coach Keith Dambrot and one of his former assistants, VCU boss Shaka Smart
, when it pitted these teams as a "second-round" matchup (why can't the four play-in games be just that? Do they really have to count as a round?).
VCU averages 78 points per game, has beaten Memphis and Butler by double figures and has won at least one game in three of the last four NCAA tournaments. Combine all of that with Abreu's absence, and Akron seems unlikely to earn its first March Madness victory.
It always bothers me when the Final Four predictions of CBS and ESPN analysts are made up almost entirely of No. 1 seeds. But when it comes to predicting the national champ, No. 1 is almost always where it's at.
The top seeds have won five of the last six championships, and 10 of the last 14. Since the NCAA tournament expanded from 32 to 40 teams in 1979, the No. 1 seeds have claimed 19 of the 34 championships. The No. 2 seeds have won six titles, followed by the No. 3 teams with five. The only other seeds to win a national crown in that span are No. 6 (twice), No. 4 and No. 8 (one each).
As I wrote March 6
, the Big Ten is looking for its first national championship since 2000. With five teams as top-five seeds — Indiana (No. 1), Ohio State (No. 2), Michigan State (No. 3), Michigan (No. 4) and Wisconsin (No. 5) — the conference has strength in numbers. Indiana is a popular choice to end that drought, but it would have been nice to see the Hoosiers in the same regional as any No. 2 seed but Miami.

Speedway RV Rental Infield Packages
Unlike a typical RV rental company, at Trinity RV Rentals, we offer "All Inclusive Speedway RV Rental Packages". We will deliver your Motorhome or a Custom Entertainment Trailer of your choice to the actual Speedway property. We conduct all infield set-up and take-down functions on our site or your site. All diesel fuel, gas, propane, generator usage, chairs, patio carpets, tables, gas grills, utensils, TV'S, coolers, sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, are all included in our rental rate packages. We do not have a long list of unknown charges for each amenity like some RV rental companies. The only additional items we will ask you to purchase are your infield admission tickets, food and drinks and leave just about all the other rental details to us.
Another significant advantage that we offer at Trinity RV Rentals versus our competition is that we have some of the most innovative motorhomes in the Speedway rental business - the Airstream Skydeck. No other Motorhome will offer you roof-top cushioned seating, numerous amenities and safe viewing pleasure. In addition to our Airstream Skydecks, we have other luxury Motorhome rentals with professionally installed roof-top viewing platforms. Our viewing platforms are designed to give you maximum viewing potential with safe entry and exit choices. Many of our competitor rental companies do not have viewing platforms on their Motorhomes. You should always check to make sure a safe roof-top platform option is available on your next Motorhome Speedway rental. Standing on the motorhome roof on a windy day is not considered a safe viewing option.
Our Speedway packages also include a prime infield camping site. The majority of our camping sites are infield "Wall" sites with outstanding views of the cars and drivers. It took us over 10 years and hundreds of upgrades to acquire these camping sites. Many of our competitors do not offer camping sites with their rental packages. If they do offer campsites, it's always a good idea to ask about the general location of the campsite and I would not consider a good location being in the middle of the infield. You may never see a race car your entire stay.
New for 2013, our Custom Entertainment Trailer packages will have a custom roof-top viewing platform with safe entry and departure stairs. For your convenience and weather protection, all trailer viewing platforms will have Bimini tops, coolers, drink holders, swivel chairs and a large LCD TV. Amenities inside our Custom Entertainment Trailers include, Heat and AC, large refrigerator/freezer, full galley with stove and microwave, full bath with large shower and sink, 6 individual bunk beds, fresh bedding, security lockers, coffee maker and a 40" LCD TV. Outside amenities include a 55" LCD TV inside the TV door, Samsung Stereo sound system, patio carpets, a picnic table, gas grill, utensils, 6 chairs, one large table and a large cooler. We also provide Direct TV with each Speedway rental.
Custom Entertainment Trailer rental packages are now available. If you thought a Luxury Motorhome rental was out of your price range, then this may be a perfect rental choice for you and your family or friends. If you have a special event or Speedway you would like to go to now, just email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will send you a quote ASAP!
We specialize in SPEEDWAY RV RENTAL PACKAGES. Feel free to call us at 800-917-7511 regarding any of the above rental details.

Predator Becomes Prey: Microsoft Sued Over Windows 8, WinPhone "Live Tiles"
Jason Mick
October 31, 2012 2:00 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Microsoft finds itself on the defensive for once
Somewhere in Germany sit stocks of handsets from Google Inc. (
) subsidiary Motorola Mobility. The handsets were
seized by German authorities
after the courts found that the onboard mobile operating system likely violated user interface and file system patents owned by Microsoft Corp. (
) makers of the ubiquitous Windows operating system. Soon the handsets may be destroyed.
But after preying on newcomers to the operating system world like Google's
pay-or-be-sued approach
, Microsoft finds itself in the crosshairs of a major mobile suit that could compromise its most critical platform launch -- the
Windows 8
Windows Phone 8
The case lands in an unusual jurisdiction --
U.S. District Court for the District of Maine
-- far from Microsoft's home on the West Coast. The suit alleges Microsoft "stole" the concept Live Tiles, which the plaintiffs claim they invented in 2000 and received a patent for in 2004, with
U.S. Patent 6,724,403
Customizable Live Tiles in Windows Phone 8
The owners founded a startup named
. They describe it, writing:
SurfCast designs Operating System technology and has four issued patents with additional applications pending.
SurfCast designed a new concept referred to as 'Tiles'.
Tiles can be thought of as dynamically updating icons. A Tile is different from an icon because it can be both selectable and live -- containing refreshed content that provides a real-time or near-real-time view of the underlying information.
Tiles can provide dynamic bookmarking -- an at-a-glance view of the current status of the program, file, or content associated with it.
Tiles enable people to have all their content, applications, and resources, regardless of whether on their mobile device, tablet, computer, or in their Cloud -- visualized persistently -- dynamically updating.
It's hard to deny Microsoft's Live Tiles narrowly mirror the technology described in SurfStar's patents, which came out before the Live Tiles landed as part of the "Metro UI" in Windows Phone's 2009 launch.
SurfStar's Live Tiles (left) are uncannily like Microsoft's Live Tiles (right).
Microsoft appears to have known for some time about SurfStar's IP, so this suit shouldn't come as a big surprise. The electronics giant in 2005 tried to patent Live Tiles with
U.S. Patent 7,933,632
. The patent was finally granted in 2011, but only after Microsoft cited SurfStar's "relevant prior art".
The SurfStar suit targets "Windows Phone, Microsoft Surface with the Windows RT Operating System, Microsoft Windows RT, Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 8 Pro, and Microsoft Windows 8 Enterprise Operating System" -- pretty much all of Microsoft's next-gen operating system platform. SurfStar also suggest that devices with Windows 8 or Windows 8 apps that use animated Live Tiles may also be in infringement and potentially liable for future damages.
SurfStar asks the court to force Microsoft to "account and pay to SurfCast all damages caused to SurfCast by reason of Microsoft's patent infringement."
On the surface (no pun intended) it appears that SurfStar has a compelling and valid case, but it's always hard to pick out savvy trolls from earnest inventors. Either way, the turn of events is certainly highly ironic, given the hell Microsoft has put Android through in terms of aggressive intellectual property threats and litigation.

When an older man brings home a much younger woman home for dinner, drinks and companionship, both wind up getting more than they bargained for in "Love Drunk" by Romulus Linney, now at none too fragile theater in Akron.
Jim Viront plays Wilbur and Rachel Roberts plays Karen in the show. Wilbur and Karen meet at a local diner; whether this is by chance or by design is unclear since both characters enjoy indulging in tall tales. Even by the end, it's difficult to tell whether or not the information they divulge is true. What does become apparent is this relationship is not going to last, with the considerable age difference (she is 20-something, he is 60-something) being only one difficulty.
Roberts' Karen is both vulnerable and abrasive. Karen, in many ways, is still a child, looking for guidance and love from the older Wilbur, but she also delights in pushing his buttons. Like a child, she pushes his limits to see how far she can go, but when Karen seems to have passed the limits of Wilbur's patience and he snaps, she crumbles completely. Wilbur, on the other hand, is a meticulous individual to the point of OCD (the running sight gag with the pop can was humorous.) But Wilbur also suffers from having a failed marriage and from isolation.
The play is sweet and uncomfortable by turns, as Karen and Wilbur try to get past each others' facades and fiction. Both actors do a wonderful job presenting devastatingly flawed but sympathetic characters.
The show was directed by co-artistic director Sean Derry.
Ticket and show information
"Love Drunk" will run through March 15. Shows start at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on March 9.
Tickets are $20, or pay-as-you-can at the door. Tickets also can be purchased online at www.nonetoofragile.com.
None too fragile is at 1841 Merriman Road in Akron, within Pub Bricco. Free valet parking is available on Friday and Saturday evenings.
For details, call 330-671-4563 or visit the website.
Next season
None too fragile also announced the rest of the shows for its 2014 season.
The next scheduled show is "Gidion's Knot" by Johnna Adams, which will be staged April 4 through 19. The world premiere of "Possum Dreams" by Ed Falco is slated for May 2 through May 17. Eric Lane's "Ride" is scheduled for sometime in August. "Sunset Limited" by Cormac McCarthy is scheduled for around September, and "In a Forest Dark and Deep" by Neil LaBute is slated for around November. At least one other show will be announced at a later date.

Los Angeles, Sep 4 (IANS) Actress Rooney Mara says she was unable to connect with other children during her school days and often spent time by herself.
The 28-year-old, known for her work in movies like "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Social Network" found it difficult to get comfortable with other people, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"I was very, very, shy. I had problems with anxiety and not being able to relate to other people. I would spend all my free time in school by myself. I couldn't relate to other people or get myself to feel comfortable hanging around with other kids in school and it wasn't the happiest time of my life," LOOK magazine quoted Mara as saying.
She still prefers to stay alone sometimes.
"It took me a long time before I felt more at ease making friends and not putting up walls around me. I still like the time I spend alone, just thinking by myself or watching people. I need that kind of quiet time," she said.

Four custom yacht projects that never came to fruition.
By George L. Petrie — February 2003
Most of the stories that appear on these pages tell of successful projects, and the majority of custom projects do end happily, with beautiful yachts delivered to proud owners by builders and designers who are paid fairly for a job well-done. But once in a while things go awry, and sometimes it's the unhappy ending that makes for the more interesting tale. So we queried a few of the big-name custom yacht designers to see if they would share some stories of projects that never saw the light of day.
While some ventures may fail simply because of a financial setback (of either the owner or the yard), the reasons for projects dying on the vine are as diverse as the owners who commission them. Sometimes the owner's wishes are just too extreme or a radical design concept is too far ahead of its time. On occasion, the prospective client turns out to be a fraud. And we know of at least one instance where a project was the victim of political upheaval in the owner's country. Here's a sampling of the tales we were told, with thanks to the designers who were willing to share, in the hope that others might avoid such circumstances.
