THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
With the insert script and the test configurations in my previous posts, the best data load throughput was 24GB in ~7 minutes when the checkpoint (and/or transaction commit) batch size was set to 100,000 ~ 1,000,000. That was the best result when I was trying to get the most out of the insert script. But if we forget about tinkering the insert script and do something completely different, it's not the best we can do on the same hardware.
We can do much better with BulkCopy. No, I'm not talking about the bcp.exe utility or the BULK INSERT statement in T-SQL. These two approaches require that the source data file be present. If we add the time to generate the data file and the time to load from the data file, neither bcp.exe nor BULK INSERT would be the most performant solution.
A better approach is to use the SQL Server BulkCopy programming interface. At the end of this post is a C# program that uses the SqlBulkCopy class from .NET 2.0. For the test, I compiled this program into an executable bulkCopy.exe. Note that the program takes two command-line parameters:
Then, I ran bulkCpoy.exe locally on the test server as follows (note that the test table was truncated before each call to bulkCopy.exe and the database was sized big enough so that no additional storage extents were allocated to the database during the load):
The best result was obtained when batch_size was set to 100,000. Again note that the SQL Server 2005 instance used in the test was given 12GB for its buffer pool (max server memory and min server memory both were set to 12GB and the row width of the test table was 8K). And the best result was 24GB in ~2.3 minutes, which was about three times as fast as what the insert script could do (~7 minutes).
The following two charts show the bulkCopy.exe run duration for each of the batch_size values (see Fig. 1) and compare the best of the bulkCopy.exe and the best of the insert script (see Fig. 2):
In my previous posts, I stated that it all came down to whether you could take full advantage of the storage throughput potential. That's certainly true when you are focused on tuning the insert script. But with SqlBulkCopy, it gets the same job done with much less I/O traffic. So don't get carried away in pushing your storage.
Here's the source code of bulkCopy.exe:
// -- Target table
// CREATE TABLE tbTest(
// i int NOT NULL,
// filler char(8000) NOT NULL
// )
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public class BulkCopy
static void Main(string[] args)
const int number_of_rows_to_insert = 1024*1024*3;
string conn = args[0];
int batch_size;
DateTime bcp_begin_time = DateTime.Now;
batch_size = int.Parse(args[1]);
catch (FormatException)
throw new ArgumentException("**2nd parameter must be an integer.");
using (SqlConnection cx = new SqlConnection(conn))
catch(Exception e)
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.MinimumCapacity = batch_size;
DataColumn i = new DataColumn();
i.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32");
i.ColumnName = "i";
DataColumn filler = new DataColumn();
filler.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String");
filler.ColumnName = "filler";
using (SqlBulkCopy bcp =
new SqlBulkCopy(cx, SqlBulkCopyOptions.TableLock, null))
bcp.DestinationTableName = "dbo.tbTest";
bcp.BatchSize = 0;
bcp.BulkCopyTimeout = 100000; // effectively no timeout
for (int bcp_id = 1; bcp_id <= number_of_rows_to_insert; bcp_id++)
DataRow row = dt.NewRow();
row["i"] = bcp_id;
row["filler"] = " ";
if (bcp_id % batch_size == 0)
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
} // using
Console.WriteLine("Rows inserted = {0}, Batch_size = {1}, Duration = {2}",
catch(Exception e)
} // using cx
} // Main()
} // class BulkCopy
Nice test Jason.
We too have used the SqlBulkCopy class along with partitioning to perform very fast table copy (we use it for mirroring DBs) between different servers, maybe you're interested in taking a look at it.
You'll find sources at www.sqlbi.eu/SqlBulkTool.aspx.
What if you want to log data from 10 different servers sending total of 10 million plus commands a day with some of the data rows going past the 8K limit in varchar(max) or xml datatype since data is most likely in XML form from most web applications? Should you use the .net bulkcopy class and stage data in small batches and send, or possible use Service Broker and can it handle that kind of load?
Thanks for writing such a good article. I was searching how to improve my application speed.
Hi Linchi,
I am having an issue with ms sql 2005 service. It is filling up the memory very fast. I have a file with 24 mil records and it is a serious problem doing the import using the sqlBulkImport class. How do you dispose the memory from the sql service say every 100000 records of import?
If reset the sql service then the memory is being released into the OS. I need to import multiple files that be could either CSV or DBF files. I found out removing the indexes reduce by far the memory foot print it takes.
Solid empirical study, really helped me figure out my own problem.

My wife calls me a curmudgeon. Or a grump. Sometimes I'm a crank, other times a scrooge. A contrarian as well. I'll live with it. But I won't change my opinions.
So, for all of you thinking of red, white and blue for your July 4th wedding, I'm going to rain on your fireworks.
Your wedding is not and should not be a theme party. It already is one, and the theme is love, partnership, family and all those other wonderful things that go along with marriage. That is the only theme that matters. Anything else is a distraction and dilutes the importance of what really counts.
OK, there are exceptions. If you are a military couple, and the military is your life, by all means incorporate. No one will question the genuineness (myself included, especially if the groom is bigger than me.) And if someone important can't be at your wedding, perhaps serving in Iraq, by all means mention and honor them. But at the end of the day, this one's about you and, per our wonderful Declaration of Independence, your unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness.
PS: to all my wonderful, talented and creative colleagues on Wedding Aces, I love your ideas, but I'm not giving out my home address.

Creamed Chicken in a Basket Recipe
Chunks of tender chicken in a creamy sauce are spooned into puff pastry shells in this delicious dish, which has long been one of our family's favorites. I served it to my husband and our five children for years...and it is now a "must" for our Easter brunch. —Sue Bolsinger, Anchorage, Alaska
- 6 bone-in chicken breast halves (about 4 pounds)
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 2 celery ribs with leaves, cut into chunks
- 2-1/2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 6 whole peppercorns
- 8 to 10 frozen puff pastry shells
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 pound fresh mushroom, sliced
- 1 can (5 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
- 1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1. Place the chicken, onion, celery, water, 1 teaspoon salt and peppercorns in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; skim foam. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 35-40 minutes or until a thermometer reaches 170°. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon; set aside until cool enough to handle. Bake pastry shells according to package directions.
- 2. Remove chicken from bones; cut into cubes and set aside. Discard skin and bones. Strain broth, discarding vegetables and peppercorns. Set aside 2 cups broth (save remaining broth for another use).
- 3. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add reserved broth, nutmeg, pepper and remaining salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the mushrooms, water chestnuts, pimientos, lemon juice and chicken. Return to the heat. Gradually stir in cream and heat through (do not boil). Spoon into pastry shells. Yield: 8-10 servings.

The Partnership between Numerology and Love
Numerology And Family Members
Numerology Love
Birth Date
And A Vibrant Love Live
We all want love and to improve our love experience. We do many things in search of the most profound acceptance that is being both the recipient and giver of love to another person. We all want to further our understanding as to how this gift comes about. It is one of the mysteries of life pondered throughout the ages. When you embrace and understand the secret of the
numerology birth date
, you will be that much closer to solving this age-old puzzle.
Ancient wisdom says numbers are the ultimate knowledge. Quite simply, math is at the heart of everything our universe is comprised of. The technology geeks know this. They explain that computers compute using two symbols: zero and one. With the entire universe being structured by numbers, is it no wonder that the key to understanding our existence lies in the numerology birth date? Of course not - it makes perfect sense.
But it isn't merely the modern day computer programmers who know that our world is comprised of numbers. Symbols and numerology has been studied and explored since the beginning of time. Specifically, since ancient times, the Hebrew assigned a number value to each letter of the alphabet. But the Hebrew are not alone, either. From the Kabbalists to Pythagoras and his famous theorems, the art and science of numbers, and the corresponding belief that the ability to predict life patterns is hiding behind them, is not something new to humans. It has been explored throughout the ages as a method of making sense of a chaotic world.
Many find this knowledge useful and a signpost of sorts to guide them through the everyday perils of life. One of the primary uses of the numerology birth date is to increase the ability to enhance one's love life through an understanding of both yourself and those around you. By accessing the specific universal energies in existence at the moment of your birth, you can unlock your true essence in both interpersonal relationships and love. Using this information to your advantage, you will quickly see an improvement in this area, whether by changing the energy you project to the world or by more carefully selecting potential mates so that you do not waste precious time on dead end relationships.
Specifically, numerology embraces a methodology for making sense of your personality and place in this world. By evaluating the information it provides, coupled with an introspective look into your own being, you will quickly be able to unlock the secrets it holds. In doing so, you will release the vibrant, love-filled life that resides not only inside yourself, but in everyone around you as well. Tap into this wellspring of happiness today!

Botan is a crypto library written in C++. It provides a variety of
cryptographic algorithms, including common ones such as AES, MD5, SHA,
HMAC, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSA, and ECDSA, as well as many others that
are more obscure or specialized. It also offers X.509v3 certificates
and CRLs, and PKCS #10 certificate requests. A message processing
system that uses a filter/pipeline metaphor allows for many common
cryptographic tasks to be completed with just a few lines of code.
Assembly optimizations for common CPUs, including x86, x86-64, and
PowerPC, offers further speedups for critical tasks such as SHA-1
hashing and multiple precision integer operations.

Lewis Hamilton recharged his bid for this year's drivers world title yesterday when he swept to a dominant triumph for McLaren in a thrilling Italian Grand Prix.
The 27-year-old Briton, starting from pole position, led throughout apart from a brief spell during the mid-race pit-stops to claim his third win this year and the 20th of his career.
It was his first win at the Italian event and lifted him back into contention for the championship, but his McLaren teammate and fellow Briton Jenson Button was unable to follow him home after being forced to retire with 20 laps remaining.
It was a disastrous day for Red Bull as both defending world champion Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber failed to finish.
Button's demise allowed Mexican Sergio Perez of Sauber to gain full reward for a dazzling drive from 12th on the grid.
He finishing second, 4.3 seconds behind Hamilton but 16.2 ahead of continuing championship leader Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Ferrari, with Brazilian Felipe Massa fourth in the second scarlet machine.
It was Perez's third podium finish of the season and endorsed the view of many paddock observers that he could be on the move to replace Massa at Ferrari next year.
Finn Kimi Raikkonen finished fifth for Lotus ahead of German Michael Schumacher of Mercedes, the 43-year-old seven-time champion proving he retains the vim of his halcyon days, with countryman Nico Rosberg seventh in the second Mercedes.
Briton Paul Di Resta came home eighth for Force India ahead of Japanese Kamui Kobayashi in the second Sauber and Brazilian Bruno Senna who capitalised on the late retirement of Australian Webber by taking the final point for Williams.
Australian Daniel Ricciardo was 12th in his Toro Rosso.
Germany's Vettel struggled through a disappointing race during which he forced Alonso off the track, was handed a drive-through penalty and finally retired his Red Bull due to technical problems.
With seven races remaining Alonso has 179 points, Hamilton 142, Raikkonen 141, Vettel 140 and Webber 132.

Banks' corporate control and relationship lending: evidence from retail loans
Universal banks can have control over borrowers by holding equity stakes in the borrower firm. Banks' corporate control is likely to increase the likelihood of providing a future loan as they mitigate information asymmetry and agency costs of debt. Using panel data on Portuguese companies, we find that a bank corporate control enhances the probability of providing a future loan by 10 percentage points relative to a relationship lender with no control. This finding is robust to the inclusion of many firm-level controls, including firm fixed effects, and to instrumental variable methods to correct for the potential endogeneity of banks' equity stakes in borrower firms. Consistent with our hypotheses, the effect is significantly higher for borrowers with greater information asymmetry, while the effect is lower when the borrower has multiple lending relationships or multiple banks as shareholders. Our results suggest banks' corporate control affect the choice of the lender in the corporate loan market.

A Poppins preview
WORTHINGTON -- You won't need a spoonful of sugar to swallow the Worthington High School (WHS) Trojan band's new parade show; the Mary Poppins-themed "Over the Rooftops" is sure to provide a fulfilling dose of entertainment without added sweetener.
Local music enthusiasts can get their first taste of the band's inventive efforts at 6:30 p.m. Thursday with a performance on Clary Street between Church and Marine avenues, directly in front of WHS. The public is welcome to view from surrounding sidewalks, or from the WHS property.
"People can't help but get involved in the show as the band passes by," said Jon Loy, director of the WHS band and the mastermind behind the 2012 parade sequence. "There are rotating rooftops with chimneys from which kites emerge, flower boxes hold cymbals, flags are stashed in the chimneys -- it's a visual piece and a real spectacle.
"There are so many visual opportunities with a 'Mary Poppins' show."
Of course, 120 band members moving in sync down the street -- and the music they make -- are the spectacle's focus. The ensemble's numbers are the highest Loy has seen since taking the WHS band helm in 2006.
"We're using our entire inventory of uniforms," he said.
Loy's excitement about "Over the Rooftops" is evident; after all, he's had the show in his head for four years, and he says it's "amazing" to see his students bring the vision to life.
"Woodwind players dance with chimney sweeps, some of the brass musicians perch atop set pieces -- the show has multiple levels, besides great music, and there's a lot that happens in just over four minutes," Loy said. "It's very entertaining in many ways."
The ninth- through 12th-grade band students learned the music and parade show choreography from start to finish in three weeks of band camp, which began May 29 and has run weekdays since then from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.
"The students have really applied themselves in the time we had, and they have enjoyed the experience of getting this new show up and running," Loy said. "I told the kids today that it's very moving to see a show go from a thought to design to execution to a final product. And I've heard the kids say the daily progress they see motivates them to achieve even more."
Two summer parades are on the schedule for the WHS band. It debuts the show at 6 p.m. Friday in Lake Crystal's "Battle of the Bands," and on Saturday evening marches in the Fulda Wood Duck Festival parade.
"This gives the students a chance to share the fruits of their labor with area audiences before we put the show to bed until the first day of school," Loy said.
Fall brings a full lineup of parades and appearances for the Trojan band, beginning with the WHS Homecoming football game Sept. 14, the King Turkey Day parade Sept. 15 and the Tri-State Band Festival in Luverne Sept. 29.
"We're also going to the Waseca Marching Classic on Sept. 22, the Festival of Bands in Sioux Falls on Oct. 6, the River City Band Festival in Chamberlain on Oct. 13 and the Anoka Halloween Parade on Oct. 27," Loy said.
Loy's marching Trojans enjoyed great success in the past two years with their "Phantom of the Opera" show, having received several first place and grand champion parade honors and successfully marched in the 2011 McDonald's Thanksgiving Day parade in Chicago, Ill.
"We have some of the same band staff helping this year -- Matt Tims wrote our drumline book, Bryan Brandt hauls our trailer and Judie Johnson designed the set pieces," Loy said.
"Judie Johnson has so many creative ideas with scenic design, and parent Dale Solt constructed the set pieces so well they could survive an earthquake," he added.
Spectators familiar with Disney's "Mary Poppins" movie will recognize the music, which was arranged by Sioux Falls, S.D., composer/arranger Jeremy Hegg and features tunes including "Feed the Birds," "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," "Step in Time" and "Let's Go Fly a Kite."
"I'm excited to do this at Waseca," Loy said. "That's been a great band festival for us, and we'll learn a lot about how the show is received in our first competition at Lake Crystal."
Because of the band's size and the show's scope, Loy has four student band commanders this year --seniors Tim Skog, Dillon Pedersen and Logan Waldner, plus junior Jaren Solt.
WHS alumni involved in the Trojan band production include drumline assistant Deann Naab, color guard assistant Amanda Reif, props and set assistant Axel Wass and band historian Lisa Schutte.
Loy and his band students hope "Over the Rooftops" will be a hit with parade-goers, and they invite the support of Worthington residents as they demonstrate the show publicly for the first time at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
"We've worked very hard on detail, and it's great for 120 people to all strive for a common goal -- and to have fun doing it." Loy said.

Miranda Lambert Battles Food Poisoning
It was apparently a rough weekend for Miranda Lambert. The singer tweeted Sunday that she was suffering from a rough bout of food poisoning — and vowed to never eat the food that caused it again.
"Food poisoning….take this," the 'White Liar' chart-topper tweeted, including a photo of a bottle of fruit-flavored Pedialyte. "That was a near death experience. No more shrimp for me."
Thankfully, it seems that that the elecrolytes helped Lambert get back to her old self in no time. Only an hour after her initial tweet, the singer shared that she was fawning over her "hot" husband, Blake Shelton. "My husband is working in his truck," she posted. "Why is that always so hot!!!"
We hope that Lambert is feeling better soon — maybe even well enough to try shrimp again … someday.

The farmhouse that stood at the corner of 169 and 93rd goes down to make way for interchange
Ruth Fischbach of Osseo and her siblings used to joke that Grandpa Peter wasn't too far from jail each night.
According to the family's oral history that was true – he slept in the back bedroom in the northwest corner of the house, which was the old Osseo jail.
"The story is they took part of the jail from Osseo to start building," said Ruth's mother, Nellie Fischbach of Brooklyn Park, who turns 93 on April 9.
Members of the Fischbach family don't know exactly how old the farmhouse was, but they say it was built by Leo and Fannie Wolter, Ruth's great-grandparents.
It stood on the northeast corner of Highway 169 and 93rd Avenue in Brooklyn Park.
Until last week.
On March 17, a power shovel leveled the original farmhouse and other structures to make room for a freeway interchange, expected to be complete in the fall.
Despite efforts by the family to save the farm, Nellie was forced to sell the land. In early February she moved off the property, where she had been living in a second house towards the east, which she and her husband Wayne built.
Nellie said the farmland was in the family more than 100 years. But Leo and Fannie Wolter weren't the first to own it. They appear to have acquired the land sometime near the turn of the 20th century.
Darryl Sannes of the Brooklyn Historical Society said the area was originally settled primarily by French Canadian families and about 14 families from Michigan between 1853 and 1855.
Sannes said an 1873 map of region shows the Fischbach farmland belonged to someone with the last name "DeSotelle." An 1898 map specifies it was owned by George L. Smith.
Based on census records, Sannes concluded Peter Fischbach purchased the land from his wife's father in the 1920s.
That fits with the account of Phyllis Blesi of Fridley, who was born to Peter and Lulu Fischbach in 1932. One of 14 children, she was born in the original farmhouse and remembers growing up there.
Phyllis vaguely remembers a time before the house had electricity. She more clearly recalls coming home from school one day when she was about 12 and finding her family had its first telephone.
"It was on the wall, of course," she said. "It was a wooden thing."
The phone connected to a line shared with neighbors. Phyllis' family knew a call was for them if the phone gave one long ring followed by one short.
Going "into town" in those days meant Osseo – Brooklyn Park was mostly potato farms and didn't incorporate as a village until 1954. County Road 30, or 93rd Avenue, was a dirt road. Going shopping at Montgomery Ward in St. Paul was an all-day affair, and only happened once or twice a year.
Phyllis remembers her parents constantly doing projects around the house.
"Mother was either papering or painting," she said.
Her parents put in cabinets, added a front porch and changed the windows. The house far surpassed its humble beginnings as a jail.
The house itself also survived many natural catastrophes, though other parts of the farm weren't so lucky.
Phyllis estimates she was about 8 when lightning struck the barn.
"It killed one cow," she said. "The fire burned the barn down completely."
So the family rebuilt the barn.
"I don't know how long a period it was then before the tornado came through and knocked that barn down," Phyllis said. "… That must be when they built that warehouse," she said, referring a concrete structure that stood on the property until it was demolished with the house.
According to Ruth a tin shed on the property was knocked over by a tornado or gust of wind three times. She can remember six or seven tornadoes coming near the farm in her lifetime. She has nightmares about them.
"So many times we'd run for the basement," Ruth said.
But she watched one tornado from the porch.
"We watched it hit Osseo and rip off the whole roof off the elementary school," she said.
But the farm didn't only attract natural disasters. For several years a flock trumpeter swans would come land in the swampy area at the back of the farm.
"There were so many," Nellie said. "It was really something. Now they've got 610 running through there. That's progress."
Nellie has been inconvenienced by progress more than once. The farm, once about 80 acres, shrank to about 30.
Nellie and Wayne raised seven children in the second farmhouse. But that house used to sit where Highway 169 is now.
When the highway came, they had the house lifted and moved to the east side of the original farmhouse. They lived in the house while it was raised off the ground and used a ladder to get in and out.
Like many in the area, Nellie and Wayne farmed potatoes. Ruth remembers the farm as a place with frequent guests, and her father hired local boys in the summer.
Wayne died in 1982, but his sons, Peter and Charles, continued growing potatoes a few more years.
Then Charles successfully raised and sold sweet corn until last year. Not anymore.
"I don't even know if I want to drive by there now," Phyllis said.
"One by one the farms have been eaten up," Nellie said.
Even a plot of farmland to the north (which was not owned by the Fischbachs) where the a corn maze has been planted the past few years is slated for development in the coming years.
The Fischbachs feel their farm provided a connection to the past for the whole community, and they don't think they'll be the only ones to miss it.
"Everybody reminisces about it because everybody was out there," Ruth said. "I'm sure everyone will miss that farm being there because it was like the last anchor."

The event was planned to coincide with the second anniversary of the centre's opening.
Organisers the Scottish Trades Unions Congress (STUC) said the protest reflected growing public concern over the treatment of asylum seekers there.
General secretary Bill Spiers demanded that the centre be shut down and that the detainees be looked after in "a civilized and 21st century manner".
The union argues that the holding of children represents an unacceptable violation of human rights.
Double-decker buses were laid on from George Square in Glasgow to take campaigners to the protest.
Speakers at the event included Mr Speirs and Scottish National Party (SNP) leader John Swinney.
"My concern is that we have a government here responsible for the education, health and welfare of children and they are doing nothing to protect the
interests of the children in this centre," said Mr Swinney.
Backbench Labour MSP Elaine Smith has broken ranks with the executive's silence on the issue, which is reserved to Westminster, calling for the locking up of children to stop immediately.
"The treatment of our fellow human beings in Dungavel is every Scot's responsibility - no matter the constitution - and we should all hang our heads in shame for tolerating this aberration in our country for this long," she said.
And Labour MP Michael Connarty also spoke out against both Edinburgh and London's attitudes.
'Normal life'
"I think that both the Home Office minister and the Scottish Executive should
break the silence on this," the Falkirk East MP said.
Scottish Socialist leader Tommy Sheridan called the current policy
"I think it would be far more preferable that we had individual asylum
seekers reporting to a police station on a daily basis rather than this shameful
situation," said Mr Sheridan.
The demonstration was supported by the Scottish Refugee Council who condemned the detention of children in particular, claiming the way they are being held breaches international legal standards.
Chief executive Sally Daghlian said: "Do we really want to live in a society where children are unable to lead a normal life, go to school and make friends, simply because of their immigrations status?"
Christian and Muslim groups joined the politicians and asylum groups outside the front gates of the centre.
They shouted slogans and held banners bearing mottos such as "shut down
Dunvagel now" and "no to detention".
However, speaking on Newsweek Scotland, Conservative MSP Phil Gallie said refugees were held there for good reasons.
"Those that are in Dungavel, as far as I'm aware, have already been through the immigration assessment process," said Mr Gallie.
"Perhaps in the short term this is something that should be looked at in respect to children.
"But the fact is that those individuals who have got their children in Dungavel have made a personal decision to do so, many have blatantly broken the law and on that basis have put themselves and their children into this situation."
The Scottish Executive has so far refused to comment on the issue saying it is a matter properly reserved to Westminster.
The Home Office said it was unable to confirm how many children were currently at the centre, run by private security firm Premier Detention Services, due to the changing number of applicants.
Campaigners said 22 people under the age of 16 were currently being held.

ORLANDO — Universal Orlando is braced for an onslaught of Potterheads.
After generating enough hype to levitate one of its new fire breathing dragon robots, the theme park will throw open the gates Friday to its new Wizarding World of Harry Potter area at Islands of Adventure.
The crowds are expected to start pouring in when the parking garage opens at 5:30 a.m. and keep the place jammed and the lines long through fall.
The opening caps Universal's latest attempt to out-Disney Disney with an extraordinarily detailed experience that re-creates Harry Potter's strange and magical world. Center stage is Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey, a thrill ride bubbling with the latest high-tech innovations in theme park ride trickery.
"It is this industry's most highly anticipated new dark ride in probably 25 years," said Bob Rogers, a Burbank, Calif., attractions designer.
"The word at Disney is this is the new gold standard," said Jim Hill, whose Jim Hill Media tracks Walt Disney Co. animation and attraction designers. "It's the reason Disney is spending $300 million to expand Fantasyland and calling it Project Potter Swatter."
Potter's story is more than just a rivalry between one park with 18 percent of the Orlando theme park industry market trying to get more of the 73 percent Walt Disney World controls.
The economy treated Universal tougher than competitors. Both its Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida parks slipped below Sea World in attendance for the first time since Universal landed in Orlando 20 years ago. Attendance at the two Universal Orlando parks dropped 12 percent in 2009 and ran 10 percent down since then. Pleasing Potter author J.K. Rowling's insistence on authenticity to the film and books, combined with some micromanaging, helped inflate the tab to more than $300 million — and still counting.
Universal president Bill Davis said his park's international Potter promotion blitz, bolstered by $14 million more in ad money, should provide Central Florida's vacation industry with a lifesaver this summer, as a spreading gulf oil spill threatens Florida tourism.
"What's happening on the coast is a tragedy, but one study shows people who would have vacationed there are likely to visit Central Florida," Davis said.
The size of the investment is a relatively new strategy for theme park giants. While a $40 million coaster can boost attendance 15 percent for up to five years, more sprawling ones like Potter, the biggest grossing film franchise in history, can draw internationally (half the park's foreign attendance comes from the United Kingdom).
"And a franchise like this can last Universal 50 years," said Dennis Spiegel, president of International Theme Park Services Inc., a Cincinnati consultant. Indeed, Disney's top dark rides like the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean and It's a Small World date to the 1960s.
The project blossomed quickly by Hollywood standards. Universal pitched Rowling in Edinburgh, Scotland, five years ago right after Disney declined to accede to all her demands.
"We were drawn by the characters and stories," said Mark Woodbury, head of Universal Creative Group. "They are a theme park waiting to happen."
The challenge was making real-life versions of familiar castles, rooms and illusions that never existed except as sets and computer graphics.
Rowling insisted that the designers put nothing in the park that was not in the books or films. So no Coke or Sprite. The stores sell school backpacks but not fanny packs. Hagrid's Hut was going to be a walk-through experience, but the Americans with Disability Act would have required a ramp. There were no ramps in the films, so it's now a walk-by exhibit.
Universal also hopes to reverse an 18 percent slide in food, beverage and merchandise sales since 2007 with more than 600 new Potter products. They range from "I served time in Azkaban" T-shirts to Sneakoscopes. Already the park underestimated the demand for broomsticks. The $250 Nimbus 2001 model and Harry's own Firebolt, which goes for $300, sold out in previews. More were air-freighted in.
Universal also used many new technologies in new ways at Forbidden Journey, which engineers code named Project Science Experiment.
"One thing about Universal is they always swing for the fences," said Bob Sehlinger, a Birmingham, Ala., engineer who authors Orlando park guides like The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. "Sometimes it takes a while to get out all the kinks. But this so far is breathtaking."
Universal normally soft-opens headliner rides a month ahead of a time to get the bugs out and familiarize the crew.
In contrast, Forbidden Journey has been open only a few hours a day since late May, mostly for people who bought preview hotel packages. The ride has been open a full day only twice.
Not everybody will be happy. The sense of flying (described by some as similar to Soaring at Disney's Epcot) causes many to get motion sickness. One- and two-hour lines to get on rides will be common.
Already some British vacationers complained they thought the Potter area was an entire theme park, not just a 20-acre corner of an existing park.
There are some complaints from visitors that the Potter exhibits don't look as big as expected, a notion possibly enhanced by park designers using forced perspective, an artist illusion that makes Hogwarts towers that are 150 feet tall appear to be 600 feet. In fact, it is the second tallest structure at Islands of Adventure and 30 feet shorter than Cinderella's Castle at the Magic Kingdom.

This colourful curry features the delicate appeal of lychees. Native to China but now grown in southeast Asia and India, lychees have a creamy, sweet flesh and gentle perfume. The spice paste is earthy and peppery, rather than hot, and balances well with the rich-tasting meat and coconut.
Curry paste
1 teaspoon white peppercorns
1 teaspoon shrimp paste
3 seeded long red chillies
1 red onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 lemon grass stems, white part only, thinly sliced
5cm piece ginger
3 roots coriander
5 kaffir lime leaves
2 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 Chinese barbecue duck
400ml coconut cream
1 tablespoon shaved palm sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 thick slice galangal
240g tinned straw mushroom, drained
400g tinned lychees, cut in half (reserve ¼ cup syrup)
250g cherry tomatoes
1 handful Thai basil, chopped
1 handful coriander leaves, chopped
1. Dry-fry the peppercorns and the shrimp paste wrapped in some foil in a frying pan over medium–high heat for 2–3 minutes, or until fragrant. Allow to cool.
Using a mortar with a pestle, or a spice grinder, crush or grind the peppercorns to a powder. Put the crushed peppercorns and the shrimp with the remaining curry paste ingredients in a food processor, or in a mortar with a pestle, and process or pound to a smooth paste.
2. Remove the duck meat from the bones and chop into bite-sized pieces. Put the thick coconut cream from the top of the tin in a saucepan, bring to a rapid simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and cook for 5– 10 minutes, or until the mixture 'splits' (the oil starts to separate).
Add half the curry paste, palm sugar and fish sauce and stir until the palm sugar is dissolved. Add the duck, galangal, straw mushrooms, lychees, reserved lychee syrup and remaining coconut cream. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the duck is tender.
3. Add the cherry tomatoes, basil and coriander. Season to taste. Serve when the cherry tomatoes are slightly softened.

I've had pain on the top of my foot - between my ankle and toes - and my foot is swollen. I did not injure it; I just went to bed and woke up the next morning with pain. I'm unable to put pressure on it. Any idea what I could have done to it?READ MORE
What's the diagnosis for sudden pain, swelling on the top of foot, ankle?
Hi there, Dolores -
I know this is a very old question, but I wondered what ever happened with your foot? It sounds like you might have had a muscle cramp that made your foot seize up over night, but I'm only a layperson and can't diagnose the problem, of course. If you did find an answer, perhaps you could post it here so that someone else who has the same symptoms could be helped by your experience!
Here are some articles on foot pain that you might find useful:

Hall of Shame: Shoes That Cause Pain
Be well!
I too have had this problem. I went to a podiatrist about it. Come to find out, it was Osteoarthritis also in my foot. I was given two option, an ankle fusion, which would put pressure on the knee, or an orthodic shoe insert. I went with the insert. It helped tremendously. No more top of the foot pain.
I also invested in a pair of New Balance sneakers, didn't use the insert, and have had no foot pain since.

Thanks for your post. Could you please clarify what your question is? This will help us answer it better! Thanks!
I've had the exact same problem as you, and I don't know what to do... I really wouldn't like to over react, I hope this isn't important at all.
However, it id really weird. I have migraines, and for the last 10 days (approximately) I've been sitting at home, resting, because of that. One day, I went to bed and woke up the next morning with my left foot aching quite a lot, along the outer lateral zone and behind that little ball-shaped bone on the ankle.
During the day, the pain relieved and I could walk normally. At night, when I was preparing to go to bed, it started aching so much that I walked with a limp and it kept aching every time I turned in bed. In the morning, which is today, I woke up and simply couldn't put my foot on the floor because it caused such pain. Almost any movment would cause pain, frankly.
Now I have to sit on the couch again, not because of migraine anymore, but because of my aching foot instead!
Oh, and I forgot to mention that today it is pretty swollen.
Any suggestions?

There were two big complaints when Windows Vista was launched just a little over a year ago. One was the fact that there were so many versions to choose from which made things confusing, and the other was the price. One of those two complaints has been resolved, partially, with Microsoft announcing that they are dropping the price of boxed copies of Windows Vista. The reason we say partially is because boxed copies are actually a very small percentage of Vista sales (about 10%). Most of them come from the sale of new PCs.
Here are the price changes consumers can expect:
Price cut percentages range from 20 to 48 percent which isn't all that bad, we're just wondering why they decided not to lower the price of Home Premium. Is it because it's the best selling version of Vista? The next question is, will this help push along the sales of Vista? We are doubtful, but Microsoft is hopeful. Brad Books, a Microsoft Corporate Vice President said, "We anticipate these changes will provide greater opportunities… to sell more stand-alone copies of Windows."
The changes we outline above are only for copies of Vista in the United States. Elsewhere, prices too will change but it will vary from country to country. In developing countries, Microsoft has decided not to sell upgrade version of vista because many people don't own XP, or at least a genuine version of XP, to make the upgrade possible.
I guess in a nutshell, we can sum this up by saying Microsoft made price-cuts to Vista, but they likely won't do you much good.
Thanks for the tip Omar! Source: Reuters

If I had a console I woud be all over this but even though I can't participate it would be cool to see all the stats of the players in the GFL universe.
I imagine it would be hard to get the stats right so that a sklorno going up against a ki would get the proper amount of a$$ handed to him
I've been considering a virtual GFL on either Madden or a similar game. Preferably one one which allows custom teams and characters. Is there anyone already running one or anyone interested in playing in one? Or are people more interested in the GFL fantasy football league?

Even when luck is with you and you're powerful,
still, Prosperity is other than you are:
one day it departs and leaves you poor.
O you who've been chosen, be your own good fortune!
When you have become your own wealth, O man of Reality,
then how will you, who are Prosperity, lose yourself?
How will you lose yourself, O man of good qualities,
when your essence is your wealth and your kingdom?
- Rumi, Mathnawi IV: 1109-1112, version by Camille and Kabir Helminski from Rumi: Jewels of Remembrance, posted to Sunlight
All the joy the world contains
Has come through wishing happiness for others.
All the misery the world contains
Has come through wanting pleasure for oneself.

Love With No Object
There is a way of loving not attached to what is loved.
Observe how water is with
the ground, always moving toward the ocean, though the ground
tries to hold water's foot
and not let it go. This is how we are with wine and beautiful
food, wealth and power,
or just a dry piece of bread: we want and we get drunk with
wanting, then the headache
and bitterness afterward. Those prove that the attachment took
hold and held you back. Now you
proudly refuse help. "My love is pure. I have an intuitive
union with God. I don't need
anyone to show me how to be free!" This is not the case.
A love with no object
is a true love. All else, shadow without substance. Have you
seen someone fall in
love with his own shadow? That's what we've done. Leave
partial loves and find one
that's whole. Where is someone who can do that? They're
so rare, those hearts that carry
the blessing and lavish it over everything. Hold out your
beggar's robe and accept
their generosity. Anything not coming from that will damage
the cloth, like a sharp stone
tearing your sincerity. Keep that intact, and use clarity;
call it reason or discernment,
you have within you a deciding force that knows what to
receive, what to turn from.
- Rumi, Mathnawi III: 2248-80 version by Coleman Barks from The Soul of Rumi, posted to Sunlight
Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside;
it is deep within you.
You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you.
It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.
In the stillness of your presence,
you can feel your own formless and timeless reality
as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form.
You can then feel the same life
deep within every other human and every other creature.
You look beyond the veil of form and separation.
This is the realization of oneness.
This is love.
~Eckhart Tolle, posted to The_Now2
The whole thing is to love God and taste His sweetness.
He is sweetness and the devotee is its enjoyer. The
devotee drinks the sweet Bliss of God. Further, God is the
lotus and the devotee the bee. The devotee sips the honey
of the lotus.
As a devotee cannot live without God, so also God cannot
live without His devotee. Then the devotee becomes the
sweetness, and God its enjoyer. The devotee becomes
the lotus, and God the bee. It is the Godhead that has
become these two in order to enjoy Its own Bliss.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa from The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna by M. (Mahendranath Gupta)
The spirit
likes to dress up like this:
ten fingers,
ten toes,
shoulders, and all the rest
at night
in the black branches,
in the morning
in the blue branches
of the world.
It could float, of course,
but would rather
plumb rough matter.
Airy and shapeless thing,
it needs
the metaphor of the body,
lime and appetite,
the oceanic fluids;
it needs the body's world,
and imagination
and the dark hug of time,
and tangibility,
to be understood,
to be more than pure light
that burns
where no one is
so it enters us
in the morning
shines from brute comfort
like a stitch of lightning;
and at night
lights up the deep and wondrous
drownings of the body
like a star.
