Unanswered: images
i have created a field in a table called "Images" with a OLE object data type. Now getting the located image from a directory for a record is not the problem, the problem is that when i created a subquent form for that table, displaying every record and field, it doesn't display the image in the OLE object box. All it displays is the directory name, is there a way round this or perhaps being able to allow each record to have their own physical image? Help would be very appreciated.

there must be some confusion here, i think you tried to supply the path to your OLE field.
OLE objects are embedded objects; you put it into your field via double-clicking the object at runtime
however, if you just wish to display a pic from a directory, you might just want to use an image object bound to you text field that holds your pathOnly quitters quit!

Have you tried viewing the data in a form view that is not datasheet? It seems logical that table view/datasheet view would only display the path of the image- something has to control the display size of the image i.e. your frame.

Remember my post about slow journalism and why it's important for fashion writers? I didn't want to go too much into examples, but the show which inspired me to write that post was Nicholas K's. I was amazed how all the journalists were talking about the steampunk influence in the collection, when all I could think about was grunge meets hip-hop?
Looking at dark, bold lip makeup and a porcelain skin of the models, I was thinking about my childhood when all the kids were into Nirvana or Wu Tang Clan. Trying to look different to their fellows, Russian teenagers were combining dark lipsticks with saggy beltless jeans and leather accessories. The biggest thing at that time was a 'gangsta' bandana that was a rare bird in the post-Soviet world. I was happy to see a reference to this accessory that I was obsessed with earlier in my life.
Attending Nicholas K's show, I expected some sort of reference to warriors that is so specific for the brand. I was luckily surprised that a design siblings Nicholas and Christopher Kunz were talking about the street fighters. Draped, asymmetrical silhouettes that speak to the brand's aesthetic were combined in the collection with leather accessories: bandanas, opera-length gloves, and cross body pocket books.

|An Open Letter to the University of Alabama System: Stop the Shepherd Bend Mine
Dear President Witt:
Black Warrior Riverkeeper and other concerned citizens have been asking the University of Alabama (University) and the UA System Board of Trustees (Trustees) not to lease land or mineral rights to Shepherd Bend, LLC for a surface coal mine that will discharge polluted water to the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River 800 feet upstream of a primary drinking water intake for the Birmingham Water Works Board ("BWWB"). In previous correspondence, we have supplied extensive scientific information which indicates that the Shepherd Bend Mine will likely result in mining-related pollutants flowing into the intake and on to the BWWB's treatment facilities. Every single day, over 200,000 of Alabama's citizens rely on this intake for clean, safe, and affordable drinking water.
To date, neither the University nor the Trustees have taken a stand on this important issue of public interest, responding only that there is currently no proposal before you to lease the property. Given the fact that Shepherd Bend, LLC has the necessary regulatory permits to begin coal mining, we think it is time for the University and the Trustees to take a public stand as to whether you will lease land and mineral rights for this strip mine.
With an emphasis on education and service as well as a mission of improving the quality of life for all Alabamians, it is entirely appropriate for the University and the Trustees to play a leadership role on the Shepherd Bend Mine issue. You have a unique opportunity to demonstrate the importance of prudent long-term stewardship over short term gain. We ask that the University and the Trustees publicly answer this one question:
Will you lease land and mineral rights at Shepherd Bend to Shepherd Bend, LLC for their coal mining operation? YES or NO?

TOKYO, May 11 (Reuters) - Teenage Japanese table tennis player Koki Niwa has been ordered to see a dietician and consume more vegetables in the run up to this year's London Olympics to fix his sloppy eating habits.
Japan's coaches have lost patience with the pint-sized Niwa over his aversion to healthy food, local media reported on Friday.
"Looking after my diet is not something I'm all that interested in," the 17-year-old, who particularly dislikes tomatoes and carrots, told the Nikkan Sports newspaper.
"But I will do what I can to try to increase the amount of vegetables I eat," added Niwa, who shocked China's world number one Ma Long at last month's Asian Olympic qualifiers.
Japan coach Yoshito Miyazaki has booked Niwa for sessions with a dietician in a bid to get the 160-centimetre, 52-kilogram player in good shape for London.
The left-hander won the gold medal at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games and won junior world titles in doubles the same year and in singles in 2011.
Niwa, who will contest the team event with Jun Mizutani and Seiya Kishikawa, has given early indications that he is listening to the eating advice.
"My favourite food is noodles and meat," said Niwa. "But I'm going to try eating green peppers."

THE GOVERNMENT has promised a review of the tax-free status of goods purchased over the internet from international retailers.
At the moment, goods purchased from online retailers that are worth less than $1000 are not subject to the goods and services tax.
New Assistant Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the issue will be raised in the context of the government's tax white paper process in the new year in a bid to protect retailing jobs.
"I see this issue very much in the context of local jobs," he said.
"You do want a relatively level playing field … [and] my sense is that we are seeing local retailers with one hand tied behind their backs."
Australian retailers say the GST loophole gives their overseas counterparts an unfair price advantage and have been lobbying state and federal governments to reduce the tax-free threshold

There comes a time when your home wired or wireless network just doesn't reach far enough. You don't have Ethernet wires running to all rooms — that's why you bought a wireless router (plus the fact that wired–only home routers are harder to find <grin>).
But, now, you've found that the wireless signal isn't strong enough to get to all the rooms, or you need to extend it even farther, perhaps to the back yard or patio.
That's what happened to me, pretty much in that sequence.
My main router is at the front of the house, where my cable modem is located, because that's where the non–TV line from the main splitter ends.
Tech Tip
Cable modems use the same RG6 cable that cable television uses. However, the cable modem is much more susceptible to drops in signal strength. Therefore, the common practice is to put a two–way splitter (1 input and 2 outputs) at the point the cable enters the house.
Then, run an RG6 cable directly from one output to cable modem and a second cable to the televisions. On the televisions line, you may add additional splitters and, if necessary, cable signal amplifiers.
The basic problem with splitters is that, just like the name says, the signal is split — including the signal strength. Unfortunately, it's actually worse because of losses. Each output of a 2–way spitter is less than half of the input strength.
I use my iPhone and iPad in the house. Similarly, my wife and son have their own "iDevices." All connect wirelessly to our router for email, web browsing, and printing to printers on our home network.
I found that the wireless signal just wasn't strong enough in the master bedroom of my house. My iPhone would recognize the network enough to connect — but just couldn't manage to transfer any data (or the data transfer speed had dropped so low that it seemed not to work).
I would have to turn off the wireless connection (on the iPhone) in order to have it switch to the phone company's LTE service, and then remember to turn wireless back on when I went into the rest of the house.
I checked and found I could upgrade the firmware on my wireless router. That seemed to help (probably just wishful thinking). Later, I changed wireless routers for a screaming new one. That helped. For a while, until it died… I hooked up the old, spare router to keep running, while I researched what to buy.
I upgraded wireless routers again (this is happening over 3–4 years). Now, it's a Linksys WRT1900AC dual-band router. Wow! All our iDevices can connect to its 2.4GHz network or its 5GHz network.
Still I find that (1) the 5GHz network drops when I get to the back of the house, and (2) the 2.4GHz network still has occasional issues when I'm at the back of the house.
My first solution (which solved the iPhone issue) was found when an Internet-based retailer offered an Edimax EW07288APC wireless access point as one of its daily sale items. This operates on a single 5GHz frequency band. It's not 2.4GHz nor dual 2.4GHz/5GHz.
The Edimax wireless range extender looks like a white antenna tower about 7 inches tall, ranging from 2.5 inches at the base to 1 inch for most of its height. Connections include USB (power wall adapter included) and Ethernet (to connect to the existing network).
The unit was somewhat difficult to configure, mainly because I expected features in the Wi-Fi Bridge Mode that were only in the Access Point mode. The Wi-Fi Bridge Mode would connect wirelessly to my other wireless router in order to provide network access for a device connected to it by the Ethernet cable.
It would also allow other wireless devices to connect to it, acting like an access point (this AP function could not be turned off) — the problem was that the MAC Address filter mode (used to restrict which other devices/computers could connect wirelessly to it) does not work in Wi-Fi Bridge mode. It only works in Access Point mode.
So, I set up the Edimax in Access Point mode and I added all my wireless devices to the MAC address filter table. That solved the wireless issues for a long time.
Later, if you recall my product review of the Jadaol Flat Cat6 Ethernet Cable, I decided that I needed an Ethernet connection to the Windows Media Center pc in the master bedroom, which functions as an extension of my home theater PC.
I also bought a cheap 5-port switch. The flat cable (from the rest of the network) plugged into the switch. Another Ethernet cable plugged into my home theater extension PC, and yet another Ethernet cable plugged into the Edimax extender.
Now, I had fully-workable, streamable Windows Media Center video across my home network (before, I would get some hesitation occasionally, which I attributed to interference). All was fine with the world…

|Mary Lee's location as of 3:16pm EST on 01/18/2013
Our favorite great white shark, Mary Lee, has once again returned to Carolina Beach. This marks her third visit to our area since she was tagged with a satellite tracker in September 2012 off Cape Cod.
Mary Lee is 16 feet in length and weighs approximately 3,500 pounds. She has been roaming the east coast since September and has made three passes by our area. Each time she reaches the southeast part of NC, she then u-turns and heads back towards Georgia/Florida.
|Mary Lee pings off Surf City 12:03am ESt 01/19/2013
Mary Lee pinged just off the North End of Carolina Beach yesterday afternoon as shown in the above photo. But by 12:03am EST this morning, she had moved north and was just off Surf City, NC.
|Current location (large dot) compared to location on 12/22/2012
What is really making this visit more exciting than others is that her last ping, 12:03am EST, had her almost at the exact same spot from her last visit on December 22, 2012 when she turned around and headed back south. The question remains, will she follow the same path or continue north. Stay tuned!!

Music earrings by rcdogWatch

Trying to fill some time and come up with new ideas.
How on earth do you make these??? I have to know^^
How on earth do you make these??? I have to know^^
Love them. I saw that you said you aren't set up with paypal or etsy, but what about money orders? (Not that I have extra money currently, but thinking about the others that may want these.)
They really are gorgeous though.
They really are gorgeous though.
When most of the people find out I don't have pay-pal or esty they never write back. I can't blame them, its safer for them to use. Also I'm not set up to do alot of production work. I mainly do this as a hobby.
Elegant and imnspiring
This is very nice i like this very much
Very nice work. I love the design behind it, and your choice of wood is very nice. What is that, curly maple and mahogany?
Thank you. I wasn't sure if the lines would be to thin for this to work out.( but I got lucky) As for the wood type you are correct.
Woo hoo, all my vain interests in guitar building have paid off. Yeah, those lines do look pretty thin. How did you cut everything out?
For "fill" work, this is a GREAT idea!
I'm pretty sure everyone would want one. (Even me. XD)
You have no idea how right you are. I left my computer for one day and can't believe the hits on them.
Oh my... Thoat's SO adorable Is there any chance to buy those?
these are beautiful!!
Awesome! Love the snake & praying mantis too... you have some skill & wicked talent!
Absolutely gorgeous.
Really elegant!
i love the design!!!
Thank you, I wasn't sure if the lines would get to close the the edges.
Wow. I think my sweetie would LOVE these. Are they for sale?
Omg! these are very nicee
very very good job
You did an incredible job. These are absolutely positively beautiful And versatile. They would also make and amazing design for a pendant.
I made the pendant to match but I don't always put every thing I make on DA. I didn't think these would be so popular. I had gecko earring I put on but not as many made commented on them.

While most of the world is reeling from the news of Osama Bin Laden's death, Hollywood is trying to understand something equally shocking: "Fast Five," the fifth installment of "The Fast and the Furious" franchise, had the biggest box office opening of the year this weekend, raking in $140 million dollars worldwide.
Whenever something like this happens, you can be certain of a two things: 1. There will be a sequel. 2. Most studios will try to produce a knock-off imitation within the year. There's a great piece in today's L.A. Times that takes a look at the many ways in which "Fast Five"'s performance this weekend goes against all conventional wisdom when it comes to the formula of a guaranteed blockbuster. This includes the fact that the franchise contains no top stars and that it's changed its name with each installment:
1. "The Fast and the Furious"
2. "2 Fast 2 Furious"
3. "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift"
4. "Fast and Furious"
5. "Fast Five"
So if we look at the pattern here, "Fast" has to be worked into the sequel's title in some way. But these people like to play with our expectations, so maybe "Fast" will be dropped and "Furious" will be the signifier. Personally, I would like to see something along the lines of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift", which is inexplicably hilarious. In fact, the fifth installment has also been known as "Fast and Furious 5: Rio Heist."
Nate Jones, our web editor, had a few ideas for the names for the sequel:
"Fast and Spurious Reasons to Print Money"
"Fastest and Most Furious"
"The Fast and the Fury"
and mine
"Furious Car Chases for Fast Money"
"The Fast and the Furious: Chattanooga Lightining"
"Fast Five: Tarzana Gold Rush"
"Speedy Six: Furiously Fabulous"

A SUNBURY woman died after her car crashed into a tree on the Calder Freeway in central Victoria early this morning.
The car left the road at the Gap Rd exit near Bendigo and slammed into the tree just before 6.30am.
Despite efforts of paramedics to free the 34-year-old Sunbury woman from her car, she died at the scene.
Traffic is being diverted around the scene of the crash.

Dorchester County approves $1.7 million for debris removal
DORCHESTER, S.C. (WCIV) -- Dorchester County Council has given the green light for an additional $1.7 million to go towards cleaning up debris from this winter's ice storms.
The increase was approved at a special meeting held Friday morning.
According to Chairman Bill Hearn, the money will come from the county reserve fund and the county will ask for 80 percent reimbursement through FEMA's assistance program.
Last month, the council approved $800,000.

"Eureka!" we're sure this producer must have shouted -- at least in his or her head -- knowing that Krugman was scheduled to appear on Russert's CNBC show anyway this weekend to discuss his book. The producer offered Krugman the opportunity to be that person; he agreed, a show rep assured the TV Column.
According to a transcript of their "conversation," a copy of which was given to the TV Column, it was everything you'd expect.
O'Reilly called Krugman a "quasi-socialist"; Krugman called that "slander" and said if he is a quasi-socialist then O'Reilly is a "quasi-murderer"; O'Reilly pronounced Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" a bit of "Nazi propaganda" that reinforced all of Krugman's "paranoid delusions"; Krugman insisted Moore's flick was "flawed" but was made by "a guy who really does love this country"; Russert hardly got a word in edgewise; and a good time was had by all. One of those exchanges that make you so proud to be a journalist.
During their give and take -- okay, maybe it's more accurate to say push and shove, or slap and smack -- O'Reilly would periodically accuse Krugman of not letting him get in a sentence, or words to that effect.
So we counted and, according to The Washington Post TV Team Transcript Tally, O'Reilly actually got in 321 sentences during the "debate," to Krugman's 258.
Remember when Oprah was going to do her daytime gabber only a couple of years into this millennium? And then she changed her mind and said she'd do it only through 2008? Well, she has cried wolf again, this time signing up to do the show through 2011.
In a news release from Oprah's Harpo production company and Viacom-owned King World, which distributes the show, Oprah said she decided to extend her cutoff date because "the thought of taking the show to its 25th anniversary is both exhilarating and challenging" and because "the years ahead will allow me to continue to grow along with my viewers and will give my production company the time and opportunity to use the show as a launching pad to create and develop additional projects and potential future shows."
Personally, we think it's because she finally started reading Leo Tolstoy's 838-page novel "Anna Karenina," the latest book she has picked for her Oprah's Book Club reading list, and has come to the realization that it will take her the three extra years to get through it.
Lucky she didn't pick Tolstoy's "War and Peace," which comes in at a denser 1,472 pages, or we might have learned today that she'd re-signed through 2020.

Huge Tiny Home
The latest creation by Tiny Diamond Homes of Colorado stretches the definition of what can be considered a tiny home, but the cozy interior more than makes up for it. The aptly named Purple Monster is 38 ft (11 m) long and weighs 17,000 lb (7,711 kg). It is quite possibly the largest tiny home we've seen so far.
The Purple Monster rests atop a custom-made triple-axle gooseneck trailer and has 340 sq ft (31 sq m) of floorspace just on the ground floor. It is 10 ft (3.08 m)-wide, which is over the standard towing limit in the US. (more…)

Wheelchair "Hope" for Disabled Children in Dorset
7:45am 3rd March 2014
A Weymouth group of women are trying to bring a powered wheelchair for toddlers to Dorset.
The Inner Wheel Club want to raise £5,000 to get a 'Wizzybug' on loan to under fives in the county who cannot walk.
Wizzybugs are designed to be fun and easy for children aged under five to operate, allowing disabled children to get around on their own.
President of The Inner Wheel Club of Weymouth Maragret Homan-Berry says today and tomorrow (4th & 5th of March) they'll have one of the colourful Wizzybugs in Weymouth on display, "Both days we're going to meet in the foyer outside Sainsburys and we can show people how it works and let them touch it, and we hope people feel generous and give a contribution to it."

(WARNING: The following contains mild plot spoilers for Marvel's Ant-Man and Doctor Strange. If you haven't yet seen both films, then proceed with whatever level of caution the all-seeing eye of Agamotto suggests to you is wise.)
Now, while #AntMan and #DoctorStrange may not have been the most high-profile #MarvelStudios releases of the past few years — and were, in fact, heavily tipped by some to be the studios' first stumbles — they ultimately proved highly successful on their own, genre-bending terms. What's more, with both opting to play with a more multi-dimensional approach to the #MCU, it seems that the pair of risky solo introductions may just have served to launch a whole new side of the #MarvelCinematicUniverse.
Not least because:
'Doctor Strange' Was Indeed Hiding An 'Ant-Man' Easter Egg All Along
Specifically, the one that many fans identified within the first hour of seeing the movie: The apparent presence of Ant-Man's "Quantum Zone" within the "Magical Mystery Tour" that The Ancient One takes Doc Strange on early in the film's run-time. Hawk-eyed #Marvel aficionados were quick to note the striking visual similarities between the two — and they have now been proven absolutely correct by Doctor Strange's director's commentary. In it, director Scott Derrickson confirms that...
"This image here is obviously a nod to Ant-Man and the Quantum Realm, acknowledging that as one of the mysterious realms of existence."
...which very much confirms that a) the mysterious, Quantum Realm-looking dimension in Doctor Strange was indeed the Quantum Realm, and b) we should probably all have been paying more attention to Ant-Man. It also, of course, heavily hints at some sort of future connection between the two heroes, not least because the upcoming sequel Ant-Man and The Wasp seems likely to include some sort of rescue attempt for Hope Van Dyne's mother (and legendary comic book version of The Wasp) Janet Van Dyne.
If you were thinking about placing a friendly wager over Doc Strange's presence in the upcoming Ant-Man sequel, then, now may well be the time.
What do you think, though? Will we see Doc Strange, Ant-Man and The Wasp team up to visit the Quantum Realm? Let us know below!

Content and Context: Identifying the Impact of Qualitative Information on Consumer Choice
48 Pages Posted: 16 Mar 2011
Date Written: March 12, 2011
Managers and researchers alike suspect that the vast amounts of qualitative information found in blogs, product reviews, real estate listings, news stories, analyst reports and experts' advice influence consumer behavior. But, do these kinds of qualitative information impact or rather reflect consumer choices? We argue that message content and consumer choice are endogenous, and that non-random selection and the conflation of awareness and persuasion complicate causal estimation of the impact of message content on economic decisions and outcomes. Using data on the transcribed content of 2,397 stock recommendations provided by Jim Cramer on his CNBC show Mad Money from 2005 to 2008, combined with data on Internet search volume, the content of prior news, and prior stock price and trading volume data, we show that selection bias in the stocks Cramer chooses to recommend and prior product awareness on the part of his audience create measurable upward bias in estimates of the impact of Cramer's advice on stock prices. Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to characterize the topical content of Cramer's speech and the content of prior news, we show that he is less persuasive when he supports his recommendations with arguments that have themselves been recently mentioned in the news. We argue that the classic sales skill of "knowing what a customer needs to hear" can significantly enhance the influence of qualitative information precisely because what the consumer already knows affects how they evaluate messages. The tools and techniques we develop can be put to practical use in a variety of settings where marketers can present subjects with different messages depending on what they already know.

- Description
DetailsUltimate Dog TOy Construction: Tuffy Ultimate Dog Toys can have up to 7 rows of stitching. The number and rows of stitching depends on the shape, size and style of the toy. Two directions of cross stitching hold the multiple layers together. Rows of stitching hold the webbing around the materials edge, and the toys' parts are sewn together with up to 3 rows of stitching. When possible, a protective webbing is added around the outer edge and sewn up to 3 more times. Tuffy toys can have up to 4 layers of material depending on the shape, size and style of the toy. Our Ultimate series can have up to 2 layers of Luggage grade material. Certain layers of material are coated with a layer of plastic to hold the material fibers together. Finally we use soft fleece for the outside layer. Protective webbing: For our Ultimate series we add an additional layer of webbing, whenever possible around the outside edge to cover the seams of the toy. This is sewn multiple times, for added durability. Squeaker Safety Pockets: Squeakers are sewn into material pockets inside the toy. This additional layer of safety can give you the time you need to safely remove the toy in the event your dog reaches the core of the toy. These toys are machine washable (air dry) and float.

- Good product.
Dogs have had a similar one before. They love it!
Durability Price Enjoyment
- Not GSD proof
I didn't realize this one was guaranteed for 30 days or I would have requested a refund. I gave this to my then 4 month old GSD for Xmas (early, in late November 2016) and in less than 4 hours he'd ripped it apart and gotten the squeakers out. He was also in the process of teething, so he was still working with tiny teeth and teeth growing in. Overpriced, too high of a durability rating for med-lrg dogs as my pup was only about 28 lbs at the time of destruction. I was very disappointed and so was Chief. My bad for not realizing there was a warranty though.
Durability Price Enjoyment
- not sturdy
My boxer had this DESTROYED in a little over an hour. On the bright side he absolutely loved playing with it. Don't waste your money on this one.
Durability Price Enjoyment
- Tuff but not tuff enough for my little guy.
My dog is around 13 pounds, but only after a week managed to chew the sewing around the inner openings, and some on the outer. So I'm going to try to sew it. But like the idea of no stuffing. Otherwise it would make a good pull toy.
Durability Price Enjoyment
- Better without the stuffing!
My dog usually enjoys stuffed animals, but stuffing in Tuffy toys tends to be too big for my dogs mouth so no stuffing was great. This lasted about 2 weeks before she finally found a spot in the middle and started to rip it apart. Definitely worth considering if you dog loves to play tug-o-war!
Durability Price Enjoyment
- Lab Challenge
no fuss no mess - labs challenge each other on everything. This upped the ante a little.

storing opened bottles of wine for later enjoyment
On a quiet evening, opening a special bottle of wine can be a real treat. But finishing that treasured 750mL can be a trial for one or even two people. Storing an opened wine overnight or even for several evenings is worthwhile provided it can be done without sacrificing too much of the wine quality.
Now, a gas company has sponsored trials to find the best way of achieving this. The results of tasting a white and a gutsy red stored over several days under varying conditions were reported in an Air Liquide publication. They found an excellent solution for storing the red for 1-4 days was to put it in the refrigerator and to bring the bottle out just in time to allow it to warm up prior to reuse. By the fourth day, this wine was fading but still quite drinkable. Other systems such as the commercial VacuVin and one which flushed the headspace with an inert gas were not as successful; only one other - a system called 'Private Preserve' (which uses a blend of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and argon) - performed very well. For the white, the storage limit was about 2 days. Again the proprietary system called 'Private Preserve' was the best, VacuVin and the other system using a single inert gas the worst, and storage in the refrigerator was a practical and excellent solution. From this evidence the conclusion seems clear: except for those of you who have a commercial stake in holding wines over, the best compromise is to store the wine in the refrigerator - up to 2 days for a white, 4 days for a red.
A cooling system designed specifically for cellars is being marketed by Baywicks Wine Cellars (03 545 65 14 or 025 545 823). It is called the BWC Koolspace 600 and apparently fits neatly into a wall. It is said to have sufficient capacity to cool 2000 bottles, and the last price I saw was $1295. It looks quite interesting - its the only purpose-built cellar cooling system I have seen. Other size units are also available.

my husband is really getting on my nerves.
after I made him and the kids breakfast, and put laundry away, he decides it is time to clean the basement, and has me do the heavy lifiting like moving the couch.
then after I make him lunch while he watches me, and the kids lunch, and start a load of diapers. he wants me to go outside and measure the spot for the shed with him. ok fine
while we are out there we find out the plywood lid for the sandbox blew away, so I find it in the neighbors yard, instead of getting it for me. watches me walk down the hill, pick it up and struggle to carry it back to the house.
I said you know you could help me.
and then tells me, you are doing fine.
I said fine, I'd liem to see you have a miscarriage and do everything for everyone.
he stomps off telling me to give him a F'ing break and that this is bs.
he has no idea how I a feeling. not just mentally exhausted, but I am starting to cramp and the bleeding is starting, and I just feel like crap all the way around. And he is being an ***.

Pin it. Get it! White Dishes
TREND: White Serveware
When it comes to home decor and entertaining, there are a few things that make me weak in the knees. One of those things is white dishes. Be it dinnerware or serving pieces, I'm kind of obsessed. I actually have two cabinets in my dining room and kitchen almost full of white dishes. And, to be honest with you, I use most, if not all, of them.
As soon as I saw this fall-inspired image of pumpkins and gourds stacked on white dishes, I knew I wanted to put together a collection of some of my favorite pieces.
Part of the reason this looks so gorgeous is because white literally works with everything. No matter the season or what you currently have for your dinnerware or kitchen or dining room color palette, white will always coordinate. Plus, it will continue to work as your style changes. White is timeless.
1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10 // 11 // 12
Here are twelve pieces that I think would be the perfect addition to any dinnerware collection. What do you think of white dishes?
Happy Decorating!

Could the Future of MetroLink be on Jefferson and on River des Peres?
A couple years back, East-West Gateway finished the Metro South Study, basically the study to lay groundwork for a plan for extending the now-open Cross County line southward into deep South St. Louis County. It came out with several ideas, but no final Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA).
Now, the Northside-Southside Study is underway, to plan for major transit investments in the City of St. Louis, including a possible (mostly) on-street, at-grade crosstown MetroLink route through downtown St. Louis.
While I love the new MetroLink line service to WashU, Clayton, Galleria, Brentwood, Maplewood, and Shrewsbury, I am concerned this places the inner-ring suburbs and the central corridor at a bit of an advantage relative to the traditional residential parts of the City: the northside and the southside.
At the same time, both the proposed BNSF corridor for Metro South and the UP ("Route of the Eagle") corridor for Southside, have a problem: they are both active heavy-rail corridors. As such, both freight carriers would require a minimum distance between their active trackage, and any light-rail trackage. This might require demolition of many houses and businesses.
While a few houses and businesses have been lost to the construction of MetroLink to-date, that's been kept to a minimum by relying mostly on existing, abandoned railroad right-of-way. Even Forest Park Parkway is, itself, built on the former Rock Island r-o-w; but after 60+ years, people forgot about that. So we got this strange, up-and-down route where part of the tracks are in a fenced-off open cut, sometimes only a few feet below grade (i.e., where passing over the River des Peres tunnel under Des Peres Avenue) and the stations (along with the entire segment of track between Big Bend and Forsyth stations) are underground.
That fight was intense and perhaps unnecessary.
I would like to see our next several iterations of MetroLink extension -- whenever that will actually happen -- be a bit less contentious.
Also, I would like to see downtown St. Louis become the focal point of the system.
There are HUGE fiscal and legal obstacles to this.
Here are some ideas:
1) Convince St. Louis County voters to support the Prop. M sales tax they voted down almost 10 years ago. City voters already passed it, but we cannot collect the tax until the County passes it.
2) Get St. Louis County to allocate an additional $10 million per year to Metro from its existing transportation sales tax. This should be do-able, if some planned road and bridge fund projects are either deferred or funded out of county general revenue.
3) Fast-track City Street Department/BPS and MODOT approvals for right-of-way assignment to Metro within city streets and state 'highways' like Natural Bridge.
4) Given the railroads' reservations and their inevitable importance to our regional economy, abandon any thoughts of private right-of-way operation parallel to heavy freight operations. After all, it's not particularly pleasant, clean, or safe down at the Grand station, although I think watching the trains go by is cool.
5) Aggressively seek federal funds.
While these are certainly easier said than done, any one of these would help represent a stronger regional commitment to quality public transit.
As far as routing, this is what I'd love to see happen:
1) By 2012, begin construction on the Northside-Southside on-street line, using the only Northside alternative being seriously considered (I-70@Goodfellow - Goodfellow - Natural Bridge - North Florissant), then the Downtown couplet (along N. 14th - Convention Plaza - 10th (SB) and 9th (NB) - Clark - S. 14th), and finally the Southside alternative via Chouteau - S. Jefferson - S. Broadway.
I would deviate from the proposal to enter I-55 at Gasconade/Piedmont (behind Walgreens), and instead stay on-street within S. Broadway as far south as Bellerive Boulevard, then swing up onto a replacement for the existing Bellerive Boulevard structure over S. Broadway (taking a chunk of the hillside in Bellerive Park), and use the overly-wide Bellerive to enter the I-55 berm.
This may or may not be a cheaper alternative, but would maximize the use of on-street in the city rather than Interstate highway r-o-w. From there, it would run alongside I-55, probably on the eastern side, to a temporary terminus around the Loughborough Avenue exit.
I think it's important the Northside-Southside line be constructed as a single unit, a crosstown operation. And except for a few miles alongside I-55 on the south end, it would be an on-street operation. You couldn't go further south than Bellerive on S. Broadway, because you enter the 500-year flood plain. It would have to be on structure south of there. Similarly, south of Loughborough along I-55, it would have to be on structure, so I think that's a sensible interim terminus for the 'on-street' operations component. This is particularly a concern since those would need to be low-floor vehicles more like those used in Portland, OR and very different from the current MetroLink LRVs.
2) Around 2015, begin construction on the Metro South extension, which would operate along the River des Peres corridor south from the Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 station. Yeah, probably a few houses would be lost on this corridor, as well as the Steak N Shake on Gravois and Germania; but most of the corridor would be in city parkland. Alternatively, perhaps the transit center could be relocated to the corner of Gravois and River des Peres. This would probably be on a dedicated right-of-way, possibly elevated due to flooding concerns, and using the same LRVs as the current Cross County line.
Once construction commenced on this line, making the connection to the Southside line would be critical and challenging. It would happen somewhere around the I-55 exits at Germania / Carondelet Blvd. Also by this time, Carondelet Blvd. may be carrying much more traffic, because it will be extended into a new road serving the new casino complex in Lemay. There may even be outer roads crossing River des Peres connecting Carondelet and Germania on- and off-ramps adjacent to I-55: something that should have been included in the original construction of the interstate anyway.
2a) The segment of the Metro South line south of the City limits is still very much up in the air to my way of thinking. It would be great, but probably unrealistic, for it to serve the new Lemay casino. More likely, it will operate using the same LRVs as the now-existing system, along I-55 r-o-w south from Weber Road exit to Butler Hill Road exit, maybe with a slight deviation for the South County Mall area.
But here's another option: instead of continuing the Cross County route south, requiring city patrons to transfer at (say), Germania Station, you could extend the Southside line southward on-street deep into South County. My thought is that you'd terminate the Metro South traditional LRV elevated line at Morganford Road instead of at I-55. That would save some money.
Further savings could be realized by, instead of running Southside alongside I-55, continuing it on-street west along Bellerive Blvd. It would tunnel under the I-55 berm, continue west in the super-wide Bellerive Blvd. median (yeah, this might be a really unpopular idea, but no houses would be taken!), all the way to Grand. West of Grand, Bellerive is much narrower, so the line would turn south onto S. Grand Blvd. OK, that turn might cost a few houses.
S. Grand is a bit narrower here, but the traffic is also much less than segments further north. At Carondelet Park, the route would either 1) go west on Holly Hills, or 2) south through the park then west on Loughborough. I think there's enough room for either option.
Then, you'd enter the really wide Morganford Road. Is there really enough traffic here to justify its width? The beauty of Morganford is it's a wide street, surrounded by residences, all the way south until it turns into Union Road in South County. And Union Road continues south as a really (unnecessarily) wide road, roughly parallel to I-55, as far as S. Lindbergh Blvd. and South County Mall. If ever there was a suburban candidate for on-street operation, this is one.
It's a county arterial road, not a state highway, so getting the County approval would be essential (and maybe difficult). Also, I think the segment of Union near Grant's Trail is in the Gravois Creek floodway, so an elevated structure would be necessary, maybe just adjacent to I-55, from (south of) Reavis Barracks to (about) Will Avenue. Then maybe the on-street would not work. And obviously you couldn't have on-street operation on Lindbergh, so there would need to be dedicated right-of-way somewhere around South County Mall.
I'm a bit skeptical of the value of the leg to Butler Hill Road. I would just terminate the route at South County Mall, but I guess the idea is to build a big park-ride lot to attract Jefferson County riders. But I figure if they're willing to drive across the Meramec, they'll come up as far as I-270. Building out those extra few miles would be costly, and only necessary if a future line to Jeffco is part of the motivation.
3) The so-called Daniel Boone corridor would be great to have in place, as it would provide a direct link from transit-dependent North City to tons of jobs in far West County. But, here again the proposal calls for using part of an (active?) heavy rail corridor. If it turns out this rail corridor (the old Rock Island line roughly parallel to Page Avenue) is out-of-service, it would be ideal. Otherwise, perhaps this is another candidate for partial on-street operation.
3a) I'm less clear on the specifics, but I recall some thought of a link-up via the Terminal Railroad tracks between the Northside line and the existing Airport line. That link would only be a few miles long, from about 5600 Natural Bridge through Hillsdale and Wellston, to a very isolated transfer point behind Bethany Cemetery. Or, via an existing connector r-o-w, you could integrate the two lines, having some trains depart Wellston station and end up at Goodfellow and I-70. Maybe that would work. I guess a station at Kienlen and St. Louis Avenue would be possible on this connector.
A much-longer on-street alternative would be via Goodfellow and MLK Drive, ending at Rock Road station. That would reconnect the Wellston Loop to transit, which could help development in that area.
4 comments:
I agree that we should generally avoid active freight railroad corridors for future MetroLink expansion. Madison County does have abandonned railroads landbanked as trails by MCT, and West County has the Daniel Boone line following an inactive railroad (though still owned by Union Pacific, a likely hurdle). But to make downtown the transit hub and/or add a north-south line, it's clear lines running on our City's many wide streets is a better solution than negotiating with major railroad corporations. As you suggest, a north-south line from Goodfellow to Bayless via Natural Bridge to Jefferson and I-55 would completely avoid negotiating with freight railroads.
But I have to disagree on your Broadway to Bellerive suggestion. While staying on Broadway at Gasconade may be cheaper, you can't make it too slow of a ride to South County. Besides, even in terms of City benefits, a station near the commercial node of Bates and Virginia (along I-55) would likely serve the greater Carondelet area better than a station down by Bellerive Park.

A strong couple of US Senators with their priorities focused we could get federal dollars through earmarking.
If Senator Byrd can get the US Coast Guard HQ in a landlocked state, then we could get money for mass transit.
For actual annual funds as opposed to grants we will need a rethinking of the current 'fend for yourself' federalism. Yet while the "War on Terror" continues, and if gas prices stay low, this probably will not happen.
At the minimum, wealthy St. Louis County can step up on a sales tax which would harm few in the affluent areas. Although the sales tax is regressive, in this instance it does go to benefit the poor as well as the entire region.
On the other hand, I can't image the current Forest Park expressway Metrolink infrastructure on actual city streets that people want to cross. Maybe advocates of street cars were right in that their pace is ultimately more compatible with urban streets. However, with Metrolink, the fight in the North South link will be to push in underground and Metro will have to decide given the precedent of the new route how it will put together extra funding for the crazy quilt pattern of above ground and below ground.

We either need a metrolink stop closer to us or a commuter lot at the Grand stop. I do not find the bus to be terribly reliable and so will only use public transport regularly if it is by train and train alone.

I've just been proverbially "called into the principal's office" for my contributing to this blog. (Cue dramatic music.) Beforehand, I had only a vague idea of what or why I was being called in, and therefore had no defense prepared.
The French call it L'esprit de l'escalier -- the spirit of the staircase. It is the flood of retorts and rebuttals that arrive in your mind after you've already exited the argument. The term comes from Diderot when he wrote: "a sensitive man, such as myself, overwhelmed by the argument leveled against him, becomes confused and can only think clearly again when he reaches the bottom of the stairs on his way out." It is my privilege to voice my L'esprit de l'escalier below.
"Do you think it is a good thing to associate with such people on this blog?"
Association is a powerful device. If one associates with heavy drinkers, can he be expected to sympathize with excessive drinking? If one associates with heretics, can he be expected to sympathize with heretical doctrine? If one associates with Lutherans, can he be expected to sympathize with Lutheran doctrine? The correct answer is: "it does not necessarily follow."
But is it a good thing to associate with such people? This begs the question: Who are "such people?" This blog has its purpose statement in its very first post, which, I will concede, is not at all well publicized:
At the same time, this blog will not present itself as more than it is. It is a platform for a group of laymen to opine concerning the state of Confessional Lutheranism in America and abroad. We do not pretend to be esteemed theologians or learned academics. We have no fancy degrees or extensive doctrinal training. We come armed only with Sacred Scripture, the Confessions, the writings of the Church Fathers, and our Liturgical heritage. We welcome constructive criticism and diversity of thought. We hope you will join us in struggling with the difficult questions we attempt to face. (emphasis mine)Note the emphases. My first post, on Holy Baptism, although it was in its original form a somewhat scholarly treatment, I deliberately removed much scholar-talk. I don't want to confuse/alienate a large part of blog readers with such thick stuff. I merely commentated using what mere undergrad skills I had, not attempting to stand upon the shoulders of theological giants in order that I see more than they, but rather I attempt to stand up at all, supported by quotes and paraphrases of theological giants. I'm writing more about theology and reading more Lutheran church fathers than I have ever before in my life. Yes, my association here is so far a very "good thing". Potential "bad things" will be addressed below.
"You have not taken serious theological classes yet. It would be better if you were to wait before you attach your name to anything that this."
Does that negate private study? Does that negate your very own undergrad classroom theological instruction? Does that negate the exegesis class I am currently taking? Am I incompetent in Lutheran dogma if I am young and not yet in seminary? But, ah, "we do not pretend to be esteemed theologians", so let us assume for the moment that I am incompetent. "We welcome constructive criticism" would therefore be my stance as an author here. The truth is, I have received no negative criticism about my theology yet, even though my colleagues have received plenty, especially concerning Universal Objective Justification (a subject on which I have not published anything yet). Besides, here, I am able to collaborate with and be curbed by other professing confessional Lutherans (both authors and visitors) should I ever write heresy.
I am not expected to agree entirely with my co-authors on this blog, either. For example, there are posts of a deliberately inflammatory nature, and posts containing sensationalist language. Even though using some sensationalism can be very effective in capturing attention, I dislike using it to excess. Polemic has its place, and I am no polemicist.
"Since I don't agree entirely either, what if I wanted to write articles against Ecclesia Augustana?"
This absurd question has no place in whether or not I ought to be able to write for Ecclesia Augustana. It seems more like a question to trap me into acknowledging that the blog is heretical. To treat a blog as an apple barrel with one bad apple is not an applicable comparison. You're welcome to join the discussion, although if you are actively publishing against other author's theology, I would be prepared for a barrage of criticism (although criticism, it seems, is unable to deter many Lutheran bloggers.)
"What if I were a lay member of yours looking at this, and I discover Pastor/Vicar Rusch had been a contributor on this blog?"
If that is the case: Hooray! I have a lay member who is interested in theology! I can have an intelligent conversation with him about Lutheran dogmatics!
If Mr. Theoretical Lay Member is concerned about my association with certain theological stances, I'd be delighted to talk to him, as well as recommend that he read my own posts in the context of this blog's statement of purpose (quoted near the beginning of this post.) Were there one intelligent enough to be so interested in theology, would he immediately and rashly brand me a heretic for such a petty grievance?
"That doesn't really answer my question. What if this were the average lay member, not well-versed in theology?"
Alright, you've got me there. First off, such a person I would be delighted to chat with, too. I hope you can tell by my presence on this blog, and my choice of career path, I love to talk about Christianity.
What I'm confused about is: if he were not theologically strong, how would he detect heterodoxy in this blog in the first place? A lay member going to this blog would find: the authors here call themselves confessional Lutheran laymen, and he would be a bit intimidated by the Latin quotation at the top of the page. Would he only be perturbed by posts objecting to [current] Lutheran pastors' theology, or posts questioning Holy Mother Synod (please pardon the borrowed term) -- neither of which any of my posts here have done? At the moment, the only way I can think such a man would be offended is if there were some absurd public synodical declaration that "this blog is heterodox. Mark and avoid!"
My name is Benjamin Rusch, and I am currently a senior at Martin Luther College who plans on attending Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary this coming school year.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle
Shirley Jackson
160 pages
Dear Care,
You are a bad, bad influence. After reading your review of We Have Always Lived in the Castle I just had to go out and buy the book. And there I was in B&N faced with two versions. This cheaper one:
And this one, which cost a few dollars more:
I ended up with that second one (of course). Because isn't that the most spectacularly creepy cover? I fell in love with it on site. So you owe me two bucks.
You know, I don't normally go for books like this. But this year I felt compelled to read both this book and The Graveyard Book (have you read that one yet?). Both books are subtly creepy. Subtly creepy is good. I can handle creep in a subtle form. It's the books that creep me out to the point where I'm compelled to check the back seat of my car before I get in (even when it's kept in the garage) that I tend to avoid.
Of course, you know what the book's about. Two sisters...Merricat and Constance. They live in a big old house with their Uncle Julian, who isn't all there, either mentally or physically. The village has ostracized them. And something bad happened, although you don't find out what for awhile.
Jackson does a damn fine job of building the creepiness. Something odd is going on. Why won't Constance go to the village? Why is Uncle Julian so dotty? Why are all the villagers grey? Why is Merricat allowed to pour the milk but not handle knives (I mean really, she's 18, not 8)? And by the end, even though Jackson had tied up all the loose ends (except for the greyness, but I have my suspicions about that), I still felt the creepiness.
I think I need to re-read "The Lottery" (and what are you supposed to do with the title of short stories? Italics? Quotes?). I mean, I read it in high school (along with most of the nation), but all I remember is stones and that same creepy feeling I got from We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Have you read anything else by Jackson? Anything you'd like to recommend?
My only little quibble with the book is the title. While the syntax evokes Merricat, where's the freakin' castle? Last time I checked, it was a house. Although I guess We Have Always Lived in the House doesn't quite have the same ooomph.
Anyhoosie, thanks again for making me buy another book. B&N thanks you, too. Really, you should talk to them about a commission.
Happy reading!
PS: You don't really owe me two bucks.

Unanswered: Group By in queries
Hi all!
I have a query with various "Group By" totals in it. From a form, how can I modify the contents of a "Grouped" field, and reflect the changes to all the records in the underlying table?
Many thanks,

Sounds like you should be using a form/sub form arrangement.
In any case, Access doesn't allow changing fields in a "Totals" qeury to prevent exactly what you want to do. Several options are:
1) Use recordsets to make the changes through code.
2) Use the DoCmd.RunSQL statement to execute an Update Query (that you can contruct via code to match your exact circumstance).
If what you want is to change the value of a field in all records where that field = some other value, I would go with option 2 - it's the quickest and easiest.

Thanks for the info tcace - I tried it and it sort of works....but :
I am using a continuous form - if I have an unbound box for the user to enter the data to be updated to all the relevant records, that textbox in each row of the form fills with the same info - as normal for an unbound control in a coninuous form!
Do you (or anyone!) know of a work-around?
Also, the RunSQL command causes a pop-up box telling you what it is doing - can this be disabled?
Thanks (again!)

Getting rid of the pop-up is easy: insert DoCmd.SetWarning False before the RunSQL statement and DoCmd.SetWarnings True directly after it. This causes Access to assume the default answer to each message box instead of popping them up.
When disabling the warnings, make sure you have an error trap setup to re-enable warnings and display the error. "Warnings" is an application level setting - so if you break code with warnings set false, NO message boxes will pop up (such as the "Save" dialog).
As for the continuous form, can you utilize the header or footer? You can also setup the "continuous" part of the form in a sub form and make it look like a single form. Just some easy to impliment ideas.
Have fun

Hi Opid
I have had a similar problem with a continuous form where I needed to be able to change calculated values in individual records (before I found this forum I might add!).
The solution I adapted was pretty complicated for a beginner (or someone who had just thought of the concept !). That is to use temporary table defined in the database, populate with an append query to calculate the required values when (before!) the form opens. The form is based a query using the temporary table (and any others required). The draw back is that this may produced a recordset that could not be updated (union query in my case), therefore, this had to be done using a popup form (double_click event of control/textbox to be changed) to change the value in the temporary table, and the form required when the popup is closed to update the new value.
The changes can then be written to the 'real table(s)' with an append and/or update queries.
If you are using it on a network/multi-users it get even more complicated because you may need to put the temporary table on C: drive(s) and link it (to stop other people changing your value(s) before you commit them) You also my be need to use transactions if you are appending records with generated primary key values (like the next invoice number) as others may try to commit the same information, or you are updating multiple tables to ensure everything stays synchronised one update fails.
The data in the temporary table(s) was deleted when the form was closed as this was not necessarily up to date after the 'real tables' were updated.
To disable warnings use
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
execute SQLs where
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
Trust these rambling give you some idea !
I will be more than interested in any other solutions because I feel there should be an easier way.
