This is a concoction of geeky posts, programming posts and just general stuff that is in my brain.
It might be updated often but then again it might not...
Recently, I have been doing lots of SQL Server stuff so decided to add a few bits and pieces on here.
First up, finding objects within your stored procedures. In this case, specifically views and tables.
This query is useful to find out if you have tables or views that aren't in any stored procedures. It gives you the object name, type of object and the number of stored procedures it appears in.
;with q as ( Select t.Name as [ObjectName], t.type_desc as [ObjectType], p.Name as [ProcedureName] From sys.tables t Left Join sys.procedures p on object_definition(p.object_Id) Like '%' + Replace(t.name, '_','!_') + '%' ESCAPE '!' Union Select v.Name, v.type_desc, p.Name From sys.views v Left Join sys.procedures p on object_definition(p.object_Id) Like '%' + Replace(v.name, '_','!_') + '%' ESCAPE '!' ) Select ObjectName, ObjectType, Count(ProcedureName) as [NumberOfOccurrences] From q Group by ObjectName, ObjectType
To list the names of the procedures that the object appears in you would change it to the following:
;with q as ( Select t.Name as [ObjectName], t.type_desc as [ObjectType], p.Name as [ProcedureName] From sys.tables t Left Join sys.procedures p on object_definition(p.object_Id) Like '%' + Replace(t.name, '_','!_') + '%' ESCAPE '!' Union Select v.Name, v.type_desc, p.Name From sys.views v Left Join sys.procedures p on object_definition(p.object_Id) Like '%' + Replace(v.name, '_','!_') + '%' ESCAPE '!' ) Select ObjectName, ObjectType, ProcedureName From q Where ObjectName = 'YOUR_OBJECT_NAME'
For reasons completely unknown I find it *really* difficult to remember the syntax in Git to push a new local repository to a remote destination.
So to stop from scratching my head about it, I am going to put it here. Two reasons:
1. so I know I can find it
2. it might help someone else looking for it
So, you've create a local git repository on your machine and what to push it to a remote server? (In this example I am going to use http://BitBucket.org)
Firstly, log in to BitBucket and create a new blank repository.
Once that is done, using git bash in your local repository execute the command
git remote add origin email@example.com:{BITBUCKET_USERNAME}/{REPO_NAME}.git
Obviously, replacing {BITBUCKET_USERNAME} & {REPO_NAME} with the real values!
This will add the the BitBucket URL as a local remote alias called "origin" to your local repo.
Now you need simply need to push your local repository (usually called master) to your remote repository. Which is called origin as we have just given it that alias!
To be clear, you can call your remote alias anything you like it doesn't have to be origin. In this instance calling your alias bitbucket would make sense.
git push origin master
And that is all you need to do! Really simple but for some reason I can never remember it.
As a side note, there is also a really handy git reference guide on GitHub
Bit of a cryptic title I know, but let me explain.
There have been a number of occasions on Twitter when a tweet has wandered in to my timeline along the lines of:
"What's the keyboard shortcut in GMail to send a message to Archive? #lazyweb"
Ok so that question may be a bit too simple but it is generally "How can I get [Web App] to do [some specific task]" If I don't know the answer then a quick search normally brings up the answer.
But I'm not immediately switching to Google for my searching, oh no boys and girls... I'm searching here first:
Now just to get one small and tiny detail out of the way, I am a Moderator on this site, so it's natural that I am going to say how brilliant it is! But here is the thing, it really is brilliant!
That Trello thing everyone is talking about? Well a question was asked about Trello on Web Applications waaay back in September 2011. And there are plenty more really awesome questions lurking about.
I would bet that if you have a query about anything Trello related, it has probably already been asked. If by some miracle it hasn't, then you should ask it. The Trello Developers actively use Web Applications and answer any queries you may have. Pretty cool huh?
Moving on to Google. I don't know a single person who doesn't use Google in one form or other. Web Applications is an Aladdin's cave full of nifty little Google tricks and tips.
Did you know that Google adds a load of JavaScript nonsense to your search results? Want to get rid of it? Well, here is the answer.
Have you ever wondered what the query string parameter `shva` means when logging in to GMail? Well, wonder no more!
Are you trying to work out how to automatically post your Google+ posts to your Facebook? Well, conserve your brain power and check out this answer.
Another nice Web Application that is getting a lot of attention at the moment is, If This Then That. This super simple Web App is all about Triggers, Actions & Channels. If this happens then do that. This could be you posting on Google+, the that could be your post automagically making it's way to your Facebook.
This is a simple example but there are lots of Channels available (The Google+ and Facebook in this example) such as Email, SMS, Calendar and many more. Want to get an email if the weather forecast for tomorrow is raining? IFTTT can do that.
In short, Web Applications is an awesome place to ask questions about erm... Web Applications!
But wait, there are some things that you should know. Web Applications is not the place to ask for alternatives or Web App requests. Questions like this:
Is there a Web App that will do [x] for me?
This is a bad question!
So what can you do? Well, you do some research yourself! Yes, the community is here to help you but they're not here to just spoon feed you. The same principle applies across the Stack Exchange network, we aren't just being nasty :)
A better question would be:
I am looking for a Web App that will do [x] for me.
I have done some research and the following Web Apps are almost suitable:
But here are the sticking points:
Can anyone recommend a solution to these problems? I would really like to use Web App A but the fact that it doesn't do E is really putting me off
Yes, you have had to put some effort in but this is a much better question and will more than likely get some awesome answers!
If you aren't sure you can always test the water in Chat or even post a question on the Web Apps Meta site.
By browsing through the questions on Web Applications you will find so many useful apps & services out there that you probably didn't know existed! You might even know how to answer a few questions to!
So next time you have a question about a Web Application, instead of immediately searching through no end of useless websites via Google, give Web Applications a try and see if we can help you.
P.S The answer is typing `e` when in the message ;-)
Pretty much every developer in the world knows about Stack Overflow, searching for a solution to a development problem in Google will almost certainly throw up a pretty damn good answer on Stack Overflow.
Along will many other Q&A sites that are now available on Stack Exchange there is a Careers site too.
Careers 2.0 is a place to show off your awesomeness. And I don't mean your awesomeness on Stack Overflow - I mean everywhere!
As Careers 2.0 is tied to Stack Overflow there are certain aspects of it which are designed to promote your activity on Stack Overflow.
Such as the tags you are active in:
Your Stack Exchange accounts:
Along with any "top answers" you feel that are exceptionally good you need to show them off.
And that is it - the rest of your profile is up to you.
I will go through and show you some of the main sections that are on your Careers 2.0 Profile to demonstrate that most of this is nothing to do with Stack Overflow.
A personal statement
Add whatever you like here - it's entirely up to you. Just make it good!
Add the technologies you are interested in and if you want, the technologies you aren't interested in.
A number of the sections that relate to technology allow you to choose the same tags that Stack Overflow uses when you post a question. I am guessing this makes it easier for Employers to search through candidates who like a particular technology.
Experience & Education
Fairly self explantory to be honest. You add your previous roles along with a short description, time frames and the technology you used.
This is where it can get interesting. You are able to to add links to any open source projects that you have worked on. This allows you to put your real projects out there on display and make it easy for potential Employers to find and immediately see how you would normally write code. Remember, this is code that you have written properly, not some pseudo crap that you have quickly knocked together so you can earn a quick 20 or 30 rep on Stack Overflow.
Again more opportunities for you to show off your real acheivements.
Writing & Reading
The Writing section allows you to link to Amazon for any books that you may have written and also to any articles or blog posts you may have written that you feel will make you stand out from everybody else.
The Reading section is pretty similar and lets you link to Amazon for any books you have read and again any blog posts that you have read.
Obviously, you should pick and choose the relevant books that you have read. I'm pretty sure potential Employers do not need to know that you have read the "Shoot Annual" from 1983 :)
There are other sections that you can complete on your profile along with some other nice pieces of functionality but I don't want to spoil all of the surprises!
I get the impression that a lot of people think that Careers 2.0 is very closely tied to Stack Overflow and more specifically to the reputation that you have on Stack Overflow. This is simply not the case and I hope you can now see why your reputation on Stack Overflow is a pretty small factor when it comes to your Careers 2.0 profile.
It seems I am in good company as Joel Spolsky blogged about why reputation on Stack Overflow isn't what Careers 2.0 is about.
Oh, and here is a link to my Careers profile should you wish to have a look :)
SQL Server 2008 has a neat feature that allows you to script out an object. Not really ground breaking so far. However, where this differs from SQL 2005 is that you can script out:
You would think this option is available to you by right clicking directly on the object (typically a table for scripting out data and schema) but it isn't - you have to start on the database.
Right click on your database and select Tasks >Generate Scripts...
This will fire up a wizard to generate the scripts for you.
Click Next and you will be prompted to select the objects you want to script out. I am going to choose one table for this purpose as it's easier.
Click Next
This is the important part, by default SSMS defaults to Schema Only to amend this to include the data you need to click Advanced
Now scroll down to the proprty named Types of data to script and select an option from the drop down.
Click OK and follow the rest of the wizard.
And there you have it, a simple way to script out your schema and data via SSMS 2008.
Note: If you are on SQL Server 2005 then I would recommend using an add-on such as SSMS Tools Pack as it includes this type of functionality which isn't available pre SQL 2008.

According to a bi-annual Microsoft study, the Windows 7 operating system is looking at a malware infection increase as high as 182 percent over the same period last year.
But, experts say that such statistics can be deceiving when the law of large numbers kicks in.
"This is probably a function of market share," speculated Aryeh Goretsky, distinguished researcher, at AV vendor ESET. "Windows 7 just peaked over XP as the most widely used operating system. So, that means that the bad guys are now focusing on attacking that OS, as opposed to XP. That's where the most bang for the buck can now be found."
[Related: Microsoft Patch Tuesday Issues Updates, Takes a Do-Over]
But in its Security Intelligence Report, Microsoft points to a wide variety of factors, ranging from the increase in sophistication of malware attacks to a lack of sophistication among mainstream users, particularly in the consumer segment.
"While there has been a slight increase in malware associated with the latest version of Windows 7 64-bit systems, it is important to put the data into perspective," said Tim Rains, director of Microsoft Trustworthy Computing, in an emailed statement. "In time, as more applications are installed on a machine, that machine's risk profile increases. With application vulnerabilities accounting for over 70% of all vulnerability disclosures according to the report, it's not surprising to see two more systems out of 1,000 being cleaned for malware. This re-emphasizes the importance of keeping software up to date for all applications installed on the machine."
As users continue to migrate towards newer operating systems, it's likely that the attack rates against Windows 7 will continue to grow, at least until Windows 8 penetrates the market to the point where it begins to shift market share away from Windows 7.
"Windows 7 is becoming a lot more popular as companies and consumers begin moving away from XP," said Mark Austin, co-founder and CTO of Avecto a Manchester, U.K.-based security vendor specializing in Windows privilege management. "Attackers are always looking to go after the most popular and widely deployed operating systems, which is why Windows is always so heavily targeted. Windows 7 is now the primary target. I don't think that it is easier to attack than Windows XP, because there are a number of features that make Windows 7 more secure. But, nothing is foolproof."

Few bands in existence have a catalog that can compare to what the Isley Brothers - Ronald and Ernie - have put together during a half-century in music.
The influential band, which was behind the hits "Shout," "It's Your Thing" and "That Lady" before becoming a fixture on the quiet storm in the '70s and '80s, will play at the Durham Performing Arts Center on Dec. 21.
After being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, the band continued to work with Ronald, captivating a new generation of fans under his "Mr. Biggs" persona with R. Kelly, and collaborations with rappers Tupac Shakur, Warren G and UGK.
Tickets go on sale Oct. 5 at 10 a.m. at DPACnc.com, the DPAC Ticket Center and Ticketmaster.com.
What's your favorite jam from the Isley Brothers? For me, it's a toss-up among "For the Love of You," "Voyage to Atlantis" and "Between the Sheets." Can't forget "Footsteps in the Dark" either.
New visuals are being released by North Carolina artists Phonte and Carlitta Durand.
"Gonna Be a Beautiful Night" was produced by S1 & Caleb, and it comes from Phonte's album, "Charity Starts at Home."
The video - directed by Kenneth Price - follows a budding romance on date night in Raleigh while the two singers set the mood. Phonte proves to be as multitalented as ever, while Durand proves why she's been a soulful favorite and a North Carolina gem for those in the know.
Less than 24 hours after its release, the video is closing in on 10,000 views.
Phonte remains on tour with his group, the Foreign Exchange. The bourgeoning indie imprint +FE Music also has stayed busy with new releases from its artists lined up for early October.
October also will be big for Durand as she plans to release her long-awaited album, "I'll Be Gorgeous When I Die."
We caught up with Phonte in June to talk about the Foreign Exchange's path, from message board friends on different continents to Grammy nominees.
"Charity Starts at Home" is available in stores and on iTunes and Amazon. You can watch "Gonna be a Beautiful Night" on the Press Play blog.
After eight years at the helm of Warner Music Group's recorded music division, Lyor Cohen announced his resignation Monday, effective at the end of September.
From the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC, to Jay-Z, Mariah Carey and countless others, Cohen, 52, has been one of the most influential figures in music since he started as a rap promoter in Def Jam's early days.
In the memo sent out to staff, the notoriously blunt Cohen wouldn't budge on details about his next move, but according to The Wall Street Journal, he did say, "As WMG enters its next chapter, I'm ready to begin mine."
Cohen vows to flex his entrepreneurial muscles and partner with artists at his next stop, going on to say, "That's where my passion has always been."
Nothing short of a pioneer, Cohen is credited for such industrywide innovations as reduced album prices on the day of release and the 360-recording deal, which gives labels a stake in developing artists' album sales, in touring and in merchandise.
While some viewed 360 deals as a way for labels to get more of the pie (artists made the bulk of their money from touring, not album sales), some artists argued that deals helped forge better partnerships between labels and talent, opening lines of communication for a common goal.
According to The New York Times, Cohen left an inspiring message to those affected by his departure.
"To all the artists and employees who live and die for the music every day and who personally sacrifice for the good of the creative process: 'Keep on keepin' on' in the tradition of a company that respects and honors the artistic community."

Recruitment and Retention |
Most states are experiencing a serious shortage of candidates for both principal and superintendent positions. The shortage is due to high retirement rates coupled with several other factors. Principal positions require an enormous amount of time and energy, and school leaders are under intense pressure, both internally and externally, to raise student achievement. Many educators say that salaries for these positions are not worth the additional stress and workloads they entail. In fact, demographic data show that, unlike the national teacher shortage, there are plenty of credentialed school and district administrators available, but they are choosing not to use their license to move into leadership positions.

Ad litem
From Latin, meaning "for the lawsuit," i.e., for purposes of the current legal action. A guardian ad litem is a guardian appointed by the court to act on behalf of a minor or incompetent person.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
(ad-light-em) Latin, meaning "for the purposes of the legal action only." A person who files a lawsuit for a minor child or for a person who is incompetent acts as "guardian at litem" (guardian just for the purposes of the lawsuit). A person acting ad litem has the responsibility to pursue the lawsuit and to account for the money recovered for damages. (See also: guardian ad litem)

SG I was just about to post this. I have really mixed feelings about it. If they are using parts of the musical she wrote, etc than she should be compensated. To the best of my knowledge you cannot copyright an idea but it may be a little different for musicals and per her contract. Again if I understand this tar baby, Bono, Edge and McGuiness are also producers but no where did it specifically say they were being sued. Unless I misread. I don't want to second guess the Tony Committee's ruling so I am thinking that there was more trimming and reworking than fresh writing for the revamped version? If anyone has seen both and can weigh in? I think Julie is a major talent and hope that she will be known for far more than the Spiderman Era. And on a final positive note-- kudos to all for playing to capacity or near capacity. For a Broadway show that is epic. For this show in this economy that is nothing short of a miracle and a tribute to all who were/are involved.
I'm not sure. I didn't know Bono and Edge were also producers. I thought they were the musical team.
Looks like Bono and Edge are in the docket afterallhttp://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/11/julie-taymor-claims-bono-the-edge-falsely-criticized-her.htmlJulie Taymor Claims Bono, the Edge Falsely Criticized Her Julie Taymor, the ousted director of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, claims in a new interview with Esquire that collaborators Bono and the Edge unfairly painted her as exhausted and overwrought in order to wrest control from her and overhaul the volatile musical with secretly prepared changes. Taymor, who is currently suing the Spider-Man producers for creative infringement, disputes the characterizations about her, and says the only frustrating moments were because her collaborators were mostly not present during previews: What was exhausting was the fact that the producers were absent Those people werent there, so how does Bono know? Im sorry. Taymor says she would not want to repeat the nine-year development process for Spider-Man, at least not with this group of people, not with these producers. Really, the only person who has come out looking good from this whole ordeal is U2 bassist Adam Clayton.
I've never been much of a fan of Julie Taymor's work, but I think she's completely right to sue in this instance. Yeah, it was necessary for her to leave the production after it became a train wreck and bring in fresh blood...but she should still get paid.Good for her, I hope she prevails and after reading the brief I believe she will.

Drunk speeder arrested in Webster
On March 10, 2013, at approximately just before 11:00 p.m. Officer Aaron Suss was on patrol when he observed a vehicle speeding in the North Main Street area. While observing the vehicle, he saw it almost strike a group of pedestrians. After initiating a motor vehicle stop, it appeared the operator, later identified as Carlene Divoll (4/49/71) from 557 School Street in Webster, spit out what appeared to be mouthwash. She also apparently consumed peanuts as well in an attempt to mask the odor of alcohol.
After conducting some field sobriety tests, Officer Suss determined she was operating her vehicle under the influence of alcohol and placed her under arrest for same. In doing this, Divoll then became combative with police and had to be physically restrained to the ground to be handcuffed by Officer Suss and Officer Bruce Hamm who arrived to assist.
Once back at the station, Divoll elected to take a breathalyzer test which read .18. Divoll was charged with the following:
OUI Liquor, Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Speeding, Resisting Arrest, and Disorderly Conduct

Anyone who was lucky enough to grow up with a kids' playroom in their house can tell you how much fun it was. Many of these now grown up 'kids' remember their playrooms as being magical places, where they could play without bothering any of the 'grown-ups' and just be kids.
Playrooms are wonderful places for little kids. They can be made even more special if they are designed with some special theme in mind. The room can have anything from an outer space theme, with planets and stars on the ceiling, to a motorcycle theme, with a motor speedway painted right onto the walls; there really is no limit.
Some themes are easier to design a room around. For instance, if you want a sports themed room, whether you and your child are into football, tennis, or basketball, there are loads of ready made decorations and accessories that are usually pretty easy to find in your local department stores.
A cartoon character themed room is also easy to decorate, as most kid's cartoons have loads of merchandise. A Ben10 themed room, for example, can be decorated with a swipe of green paint and a few Ben10 posters. There are even some digital photo shops that will put your kid's face on the body of his or her favorite super hero, which can be a great piece of art to have on a kids' playroom wall.
With some themes, you'll have to be a bit more creative. A jungle themed playroom can be a bit more challenging, but so much fun! You can get plastic plants and vines in most department stores, and a stuffed snake hanging off of a papier-mâché tree branch will make your children feel like they are deep in the rainforest whenever they enter the room.
You can liven up any outdoor sport themed room by using artificial turf on the floor instead of carpet. This really gives it an outdoor feeling, and since it is made for playing sports on, it won't wear out no matter how many times little knees and feet shuffle across it.
You can make a circus themed playroom by hanging the ceiling and walls with fabric to make it look like the inside of a circus tent. Stuffed elephant toys and a 'circus ring' consisting of a plastic kids' pool filled with plastic balls or doubling as a toy box are great touches. You can even have a trapeze act by hanging wooden dowels from the ceiling and sitting acrobat monkeys with Velcro hands on them.
Cowboy (or Cowgirl) themes are lots of fun. You can have a 'corral' for loose toys, or even a 'jail'. Items for this theme are relatively easy to find, and you may even be able to find authentic western style furniture and decorations in thrift stores.
Whatever theme you choose, the most important thing is that you and your children have fun. Sometimes, doing something as simple as painting your child's playroom his or her favorite color, will make the child feel special and excited to play in their new playroom. Playrooms are always fun places for young kids, but a little planning and thought, when it comes to decorating them, can make them truly magical.

This is published at the FACS website. I found it to be somewhat humorous:
Consider your surgical clerkship. Did you:
- Find that long hours on surgery passed more quickly than short hours on some other clerkships?
- Appreciate the operating room teamwork during a difficult operation, when the nursing, anesthesia, and surgical staff all pulled together?
- Enjoy watching your patients improve daily after major injuries or surgical procedures?
- Feel intrigued by the challenge of managing multiple physiological and psychological problems in your critically ill surgical patients?
- Notice the excitement of your surgical team anticipating a "great case"?
If the answer to some of these questions is "Yes!", a surgical career is probably right for you.
Damn, no surgery for me.

Sure, it might be simple to win a local HORSE tournament, but it takes a little more skill to make it to the big leagues. Fortunately, the team of coaches at Elevate NEXT usher aspiring b-ballers to new heights with summer camps and à la carte training sessions. The crew includes Marcus White—who briefly claimed the rebounding record on the Lakers D-League team before getting sidelined by an injury—alongside Sky Hyacinthe and Ben Aronin.
After Frankie Cheek discovered segway tours while visiting Italy, he decided to start his own company in his native New Orleans. When he was boarding a plane back home, Hurricane Katrina struck, redirecting him to Louisiana's grandfather country: France. While exploring Paris in the wake of the devastating tragedy back home, Cheek drew inspiration for his future segway tours—he was resolved, according to his website, to "help a city rich in history move forward while riding the most high-tech transporter available." Since returning to New Orleans, he's led daily segway adventures, whirring groups of sightseers around the French Quarter, the riverfront, and Jackson Square with the ease, maneuverability, and safety-minded attitude of a cool biker gang. Plus, through a partnership with other tour companies, Cheek can also guide guests through swamps, plantations, and supposedly haunted locales.
Amid the high-tech environs of a climate-controlled arena with a turf field, Playmakers Indoor Sports facilitates the frolicking needs of recreationalists with a full menu of soccer, lacrosse, flag football, and paintball. Throughout the year, members of various skill levels unite at the enclosed facility for leagues and pickup games, eliminating alfresco annoyances such as bad weather and verbally abusive seagulls. Every Friday night, the Northshore location's field sprouts a series of inflatable bunkers for paintball sessions, during which sharpshooters strap on provided protective gear and the equipment necessary for dappling human canvases with high-speed brushstrokes. Staffers further enlighten budding athletes during sports camps and kids' programs, and the facility can be rented out for private parties.
With its imposing, slate-gray façade, the 170-year-old U.S. Custom House may be the last building in which you'd expect to hear the delighted squeals of children. But behind the steely columns, the building erupts into 23,000 square feet of colorful displays and fluttering, scuttling insects, courtesy of the Audubon Society and Insectarium. In the Asian garden, hundreds of butterflies dodge shafts of sunlight to alight on tropical ferns and the shoulders of young visitors. And at the Insects of New Orleans gallery, visitors can ogle the pink katydids, cockroaches, and lovebugs that contribute to the city's heritage.
These bug-filled displays are all part of the insectarium's mission to conserve Louisiana's indigenous species and inspire stewardship in its visitors. While adults can sate their curiosity with the vast array of exotic species, curators gear many displays toward young guests by making them lighthearted and interactive: the Field Camp's entomologist answers questions about how to collect bugs or break up flea-circus strikes, and at Bug Appétit, chefs dole out insect-filled delicacies to adventurous palates.
In 1977, Professor Longhair didn't have long to live. As a human bridge connecting early 20th century blues, traditional Big Easy jazz, and Cuban funk, the now legendary musician changed the soundtrack to the city, paving the way for acts such as Dr. John and Allen Toussaint. Perhaps most notably, he penned the ubiquitous carnival anthem "Mardi Gras in New Orleans." But when it looked like his time was up, the NOLA community wasn't going to let him fade away. A group of fans, dubbed "The Fabulous Fo'teen," sought out a spot for the "Fess" to play at until his dying day. And that's exactly what he did at Tipitina's. They even named the place after one of his songs.
Proof that a former gambling parlor and cathouse can change its ways, Tipitina's century-old building has earned a reputation as one of New Orleans's finest music venues. Within its hallowed walls, many famous Crescent City acts have launched to stardom, from funk collectives such as The Neville Brothers and The Meters to rockers like Better than Ezra and the Radiators. All of these names grace the outdoor Walk of Fame, and the club also attracts national artists such as Wilco and Nine Inch Nails. However, the venue's immersion in the musical community goes beyond just shows—it also hosts music lessons for kids, weekly Cajun dance parties, and a retirement home for senior citizen horns. But as much as Tipitina's has expanded over time, it pays respect to the Longhair of its namesake every year with the appropriately punned "Fess Jazztival."
A comprehensive guide to attractions and things to do.

Athleticism is more than leaping over a hurdle and drop-kicking a computer after it beats you in chess. Be a good sport with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $22 for two hours of trampoline play for two Monday–Friday (up to a $44 value)
- $42 for two hours of trampoline play for four Monday–Friday (up to an $88 value)
Guests launch into impressive jumps and somersaults on five trampoline courts, which line the walls and floor with bounce-ready surfaces. During open bounce time, they can perfect midair tricks, dunk basketballs, play dodge ball, and soar into the foam pit for soft landings. Check out the calendar for open bounce times, and click here for FAQs.
Bounce! Trampoline Sports
Bounce! Trampoline Sports proves that learning to dunk a basketball is not a matter of practice and persistence, but of location. On the slam-dunk court, preteens can achieve the same amount of air time as pro stars, dropping the ball into the net before landing safely on the springy floor. The court is one of five inside the trampoline gym, which covers 25,000 square feet—including the sloped walls—with elastic surface. These antigravity zones allow for freeform flips and bounds as well as games and activities. Dodge-ball teams lob soft spheres at each other in midjump, and low-impact aerobics classes condition students through energizing leaps. The center also caters to skateboarders and snowboarders, who can rehearse their tricks without worrying about hard falls or the harsh critiques of a nearby Sasquatch.
During open bounce time, the gym welcomes guests of all ages to test its cushy amenities, all of which are supervised by staff and protected by various safety measures. Bounce! Jr., a separate area for youngsters aged 6 and younger, boasts its own miniature version of the main courts' foam pit, as well as an inflatable obstacle course. Group events range from birthday parties to corporate gatherings, and an arcade allows friends to take breaks from the hopping grounds. All of these features have helped Bounce! to garner considerable press—its trampolines have been seen on Today and as far away as Japan on Tokyo TV.


text: Wait awhile, Wigan...POSTED: 18 November 2011 Wait a while, Wigan... A few weeks ago I asked if Wolverhampton or Wigan were in greater danger of relegation and like I predicted the Wolves would pull away. They're now at 13th. For Wigan, no improvement: they're still at 20th, the poor sods. Loads of chances for them to change their luck though, and the next one is a match against Blackburn. I wish Wigan had a better chance as the home team but just like before their home record is ghastly and uninspiring. Three straight defeats. Wow. As for Blackburn, its 1 loss and 2 recent stalemates on the road; not great but bloody better than Wigan. I feel bad enough for Wigan that I'd like to inspire you to side with them but that would be robbing you of your cash. It would be like spending money to buy Louis a pint of orange juice; a shameful waste of hard-earned quid for anyone. Here's hopefully to Wigan pulling away from the muck-filled part of the EPL table; for now though I don't see it happening. Sorry boys, maybe next time. Verdict: Away win |

Someone who assumes direct liability for another's obligation. Financial creditors may require the debtor to find a surety, who then signs the loan agreement along with the debtor. Although similar to a guarantor, a financial surety's liability arises as soon as the agreement is closed.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A person who agrees to be responsible for another's debt or obligation, such as a bonding company that posts a bond for a building contractor. Unlike a guarantor (who is liable to creditors only if the debtor fails to perform) a surety is directly liable.

Take a Seat in Dublin
Looking for a place to rest your feet and feast your eyes on the sights and sounds of Dublin's fair city? Award-winning photographer Dave G Kelly shows us his favourite benches for people-watching, view-soaking and cuddling around the capital
King's Inn
No, your eyes are not deceiving you; this really is a tree slowly swallowing a bench. Located by the entrance of the King's Inn on Constitution Hill in Dublin 1, the half-eaten seat appears to be Mother Nature's revenge for all the centuries of tree felling. The leafy predator has ensnared the back rest, rendering it fairly obsolete as a place to sit but leaving it looking as spectacular as an extra in Alien. A warning to those who consider messing with trees!
Sandymount Strand
Evening time in Sandymount and the promenade is bustling. Take a seat here and you'll see passing traffic of joggers, walkers, courting couples, parents pushing buggies and dogs dragging owners. When the tide is out on a clear day the strand seems to stretch to infinity. Through the mirages out on the sand, you can see ferries glide by, and the perky Poolbeg towers dotting the horizon like two tall red-and-white clad Wallys taking in the view themselves.
Patrick Kavanagh
Along possibly the prettiest stretch of the Grand Canal by Baggot Street bridge sits the bronze sculpture of the Monaghan poet. Prompting many a double take, Patrick Kavanagh now keeps company with couriers, tourists and suits on their lunchbreaks. Affectionately known by Dubliners as 'the crank on the bank', in his own words: "O commemorate me with no hero-courageous / Tomb – just a canal bank seat for the passer-by."
The Boardwalk
The boardwalk on the River Liffey has been a great recent addition to the city life. Making the quays a place to sit and relax was not going to be easy, but the timber benches hunkering behind the Liffey's stonewalls really offer a pocket of solitude between the flowing waters and passing cars. Stretching from Liberty Hall in the east to Capel St Bridge in the west, it's hard to beat a stroll along here as the sun sets.
Trinity College
In the heart of the beat about Dublin, nothing is as sublimely relaxing as a leisurely lunch on a bench in über-central Trinity College, perhaps watching a thrilling game of cricket. This spot of utterly calming green open space is just a couple of minutes walk from almost anywhere in the city – and is totally free. People-watching and snatching the philosophical ruminations of furrowed browed students on their way to class is a real bonus.
St Bartholomew's Church
On a wonderful leafy corner in the heart of the outer-city-centre hub of Ballsbridge sits the beautiful St. Bartholomew's Church on Clyde Road. Take a moment to rest your feet and admire one of the finest examples of Victorian Gothic architecture in the city, dominated by its quirky looking octagonal central tower originally intended to carry a spire.
Phoenix Park
Perched up on Military Road in Phoenix Park, the views from these randomly scattered benches are a joy to behold. The vistas range from boating clubs along the Liffey to the far-off Dublin mountains; throw in some wandering deer who will pass you without a care in the world and you've found yourself one of Dublin's hidden treasures.
Bullock Harbour, Dalkey
If you've made it as far south as Dalkey by DART, do yourself a favour and visit nearby Bullock Harbour. Offering spectacular north views along Dublin Bay, take a seat for serenity and count the seals and seagulls who nod their heads at you. You might even end up hiring a boat to check out the coastline – now there's a thought…

Project Volcano II: Lawu, Bromo & Kelut
I plan to follow outdoor friends to Mount Lawu (3265m) at Central & East Java border this August. After the first experience climbing a volcano in February (Mount Merapi, 2968m) I am looking forward for this trip. This time I must come prepared, mentally & physically.
I am writing this blog to prepare myself of what to expect at Lawu especially. Please read this nice short stodry about Lawu & Sarangan Lake here.
We will depart to Solo (previously known as Surakarta) on 31st July (Wed). We will straight away travel to Mount Lawu & will begin the journey immediately. Lawu is considered as 'tourist' mountain. So we don't expect much difficulty. More info about Lawu is available here and some maps & images are here.
We will take the Cemoro Sewu route I guess. All in all, we have to trek for about 7 km. Estimated time is 6-8 hours especially for not-so-adventurous person like me. Got more info from Indonesia Backpacker website.
Cemoro Sewu (Monitor Post) – Post I = 1.99km
Post I Wesenan – Post II = 2.00km
Post II Watu gedhek – Post III = 0.7km
Post III Watu Gedhe – Post IV = 1.2km
Post IV Watu Kapur – Post V = 0.3km
Post V Jolotundo – Summit = 0.8km
We will camp at the summit and will descend the next day, Thursday. If not mistaken, we will stay one more night at Sarangan. More about Sarangan here. I think we can span more time at Sarangan for good pictures especially street shooting & landscape.
After Sarangan, we will travel to Malang which is already in East Java. The distance from Sarangan to Malang scares me. I expect 6 hours van ride!! In East Java, we plan to climb 2 more mountains, Kelut & Bromo. But we reckon this will be a rilex journey. Bromo is a very popular volcano. Just google for it, you'll get many pictures & stories. Kelut is a different story. I first heard it from Arey, another OGKL veteran, and later when my Indonesian friend, Unggul, from Engineering IIUM told me recently. Since it is not that far from Bromo, we better consider this mountain.
My friend, Remi from EcoTravelogue actually planning to bring us to Kawah Idjin. That's at the other end of East Java. I am perplexing about this idea when I studied the exact location looking at the atlas given by Paei yesterday. I predict, it will be easily another 6-8 hours uncomfortable van ride to reach Kawah Idjin.
Where is where? I found a very good map as below….

Ono praises McCartney admission
10:12am Tuesday 22nd October 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2013
Yoko Ono has praised Paul McCartney for finally admitting her relationship with John Lennon was not the reason the Beatles broke up.
The Japanese-born artist said she was "thankful" McCartney had spoken out during an interview last year when he said that "Yoko certainly did not break up the Beatles".
She told The Times: "I mean, I was shocked. I thought 'Now you are saying it? Now, after 40 years?'
"But it was very good. In the atmosphere that the world created for us, it was not easy for him to say something like that."
Ono, who married Lennon in 1969, was often criticised by fans for her influence on the star which saw the pair embark on a series of public protests against the Vietnam War and collaborate on several avant-garde records.
They were living together in New York when Lennon was shot dead by Mark Chapman outside their home.

ET Land Elephants looking for new owner
The ET Land Elephants are up for sale having told the Korean Basketball League (KBL) they are looking for a new owner and need help finding one. The KBL now faces an unexpected challenge of finding bidders for the club. If there is no new owner by October when the season starts, the league would have to operate with nine teams, disrupting each side's momentum as they would have more breaks between games. The issue was addressed at a KBL board of directors meeting Monday. "At the meeting, the Elephants asked the KBL's board of directors to proactively find companies that could take over the team," KBL public relations director Kim Jeong-bong said. "The issue was addressed and discussed. We will cooperate to find the best solution." The news broke as ET Land is reportedly also on the block, raising concerns over the fate of the Incheon-based outfit. Although some companies have expressed an interest in acquiring the Elephants' parent firm, none of them have shown any interest in taking over the basketball club. "Lotte, SK Networks, and E-Mart, (a subsidiary of Shinsegae), are on the list of possible candidates for the M&A deal at this point," an ET Land official said. "However, nothing is certain including the deal (concerning the basketball team)." No matter what, it seems like the ET Land Elephants could become extinct, ending their nine-year participation in the league. After a good start in their inaugural 2003-2004 season they made the playoffs, but soon sank to the bottom, coming last in the next two campaigns. The Elephants made the playoffs for a second time last year with 38 wins and 16 losses in the regular season but lost to the KT Sonicboom in the first round. The uncertain future of the Elephants also calls into question what will happen to the team's players that include forward Moon Tae-jong and guard Shin Ki-sung. If the club cannot continue, the issue is anticipated to draw attention from not only the fans but also the other teams in the league. The Women's Korean Basketball League (WKBL) has run into a similar obstacle with the unexpected breakup of the Shinsegae Coolcat. With the Coolcat's forced exit, the WKBL has just five teams remaining, which is expected to cause operational issues for this season. |

Millen's pride for his battling Eagles
3:28pm Saturday 26th October 2013 in Football By Tim Ashton
Crystal Palace's interim manager Keith Millen was full of pride after his charges turned in a battling performance against the Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Millen, standing in for Ian Holloway who resigned on Thursday, said his men turned in a display that was all about pride in themselves, and putting right some of the wrongs of last Monday's defeat against Fulham.
Second-half goals from Mikel Arteta and Olivier Giroud consigned Palace to a 2-0 defeat, but Millen admitted to enjoying every minute of it.
Millen said: "Today was all about getting a response from the players, and we got that and I think the fans appreciated it.
"I was very proud to lead the players out, but it was more about them having pride in themselves.
"I honestly thought, at 1-0, we would get something out of the game. We spoke at half-time about starting the second half strongly, but unfortunately it did not happen, but I am very proud of the players, and I have told them such."
Millen certainly put his stamp on the team with six changes made to the side beaten on Monday.
He said: "Some of the players appeared tired and needed to freshen things up, and we thought Marouane Chamakh against his old team would work.
"I have found that in the Premier League, you need to keep things moving and the changes were more about tiredness than a drop in form."
If Palace have not found a new manager by next weekend, Millen said he would be happy to continue, although he did not want the job permanently, not yet.
"I believe the man who comes in needs to have the right level of experience at this level, and I don't know if I am that man yet.
"For the time being, though, I am happy to keep charge because I enjoy the job so much, the team is terrific and they work so hard."

Head Start is a preschool program funded by the federal government for children living in low-income households. Operated by local nonprofits, the Head Start program operates in most counties across the country.
Basic Philosophy
Head Start programs offer educational and socialization opportunities for young children who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend early childhood programs due to their families' financial situation. The goal is to help support the child's basic physical, social, and educational needs and to prepare them for elementary school. Head Start also teaches parenting skills and provides a wealth of information for families seeking to help their children as much as they can.
What Makes Head Start Preschools Special?
Head Start offers children:
- Free medical and dental care.
- Healthy meals and snacks.
- The opportunity to play indoors and outdoors in a safe and nurturing environment.
Some Head Start sites offer families bus rides to and from the center. Head Start programs also provide services to meet the special needs of children with disabilities.
Although most children in Head Start are in the 3- to 5-year-old range, some sites offer additional services, called Early Head Start, for younger children and infants.
Some Head Start programs operate out of private homes. In these situations, Head Start staff members visit the homes to instruct parents on how to provide an enriched and educational experience for the children in the program.
A Typical Daily Routine
The majority of children in Head Start centers are in half-day programs, although a few centers offer full-day programs.
Most teachers like to start the day with circle time. The children sit in a circle with the teachers and are encouraged to share something with the group. After the children have shared, the teachers help them plan the day's activities.
Classroom time is next. Children can choose from creating art, building with blocks, doing science experiments (with adult supervision), dancing, or reading books. They're free to move around and vary their activities as they choose.
Every day they have the opportunity to engage in small-group activities and to go outside for fresh air and physical activity on a safe playground.
A nutritious lunch is provided, as well as snacks. The children all wash their hands before eating and brush their teeth afterwards. Good personal hygiene is taught and encouraged throughout the day.
Head Start Preschools Are a Good Choice for Children Who …
Head Start is a wonderful program for:
- Families with limited financial means.
- Families at or below the federal poverty level. (Check with the center staff as some centers accept children from families above the poverty guidelines).
- Families who are homeless.
- Parents who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI),
- Children in foster care.
Parents are encouraged to apply even if they don't think they'll qualify, since eligibility is determined by the staff at each site. Contact the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for a list of Head Start locations.

Here is a photo (not a good one, that little bird was moving around quickly) of a sparrow seen in dune grass on a sand bar between the Chesapeake Bay and a small lagoon in Virginia. It popped up out of the grass and was nice enough to sit in view for about 2 seconds before flying away and disappearing into another patch of grass. Any ideas (I have a guess, but I don't want to bias)
Another sparrow. possible lifer

Savannah Sparrow. The habitat and behavior you mention is pretty classic too.
Posted 12 April 2012 - 03:32 AM
Thanks. I was hoping for a different one, but I see the match.
Posted 12 April 2012 - 03:41 AM
What did you hope it was? Maybe I can help you to recognize one when you do see it.
Posted 12 April 2012 - 04:06 AM
I was hoping for a seaside sparrow.
Posted 12 April 2012 - 04:07 AM
It was a good weekend for unusual sparrows (at least ones that I have trouble IDing) I saw the Savannah here and a Swamp Sparrow that I posted for validation earlier. Also saw a bluegray gnatcatcher sitting on its nest.
Posted 12 April 2012 - 04:26 AM
Oh, I can see why you thought Seaside. Seaside is a darker, grayer-looking bird with quite a long bill in comparison to a Savannah. They are also typically birds of salt marshes with lots of grassy vegetation rather than sand dunes.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 04:50 AM
I know a couple of places to look. Thanks for the help.

Grange Mum, 25, dies after seizure
Last updated at 16:24, Monday, 27 August 2012
TRIBUTES have been paid to a young Grange mother who died after a 17-year battle with epilepsy
TRIBUTES have been paid to a young Grange mother who died after a 17-year battle with epilepsy.
Emma Jane Bolton died, aged 25, on August 13 after suffering an epileptic seizure at home.
Miss Bolton, of Fell Road, Grange, has been described as a "doting mother" to her three-year-old daughter Alyssa.
Her mother, Wendy Bolton, turned 51 the week following her daughter's death.
The latest tragedy comes four years after the death of her husband and Emma's stepfather, John Bolton, in August 2008.
Mrs Bolton said: "I'm devastated but I have put a brave face on for my granddaughter.
"She used to take her to the playground, Alyssa was her life.
"She was a doting mother.
"When she had her little girl she just wanted to look after her."
Mrs Bolton said her daughter was first diagnosed with epilepsy when she was eight-years-old, after she had a seizure while she was getting her ears pierced.
The pair were brought closer following the death of Miss Bolton's stepfather in 2008.
Mrs Bolton said: "She took his name when we remarried. He loved her to bits and she loved him to bits, it was a very happy time.
"Now I don't tend to celebrate my birthdays – I lost my husband days before my birthday and this year I lost my daughter.
"She used to say I was not only her mother but her big sister and her friend.
"She would always do things like go to the shops to save me going, we got on well.
"It's devastating but I know life has to go on."
Mrs Bolton said dozens of condolence messages have been sent through Facebook.
"She was popular and considerate," she said.
"I have just got to concentrate on my granddaughter.
"She knows she has gone. I told her 'Mummy has gone to heaven to be with the angels and her granddad'."
Miss Bolton will be cremated at Lancaster and Morecambe Crematorium on Tuesday, August 28, at 2.45pm.

A federal lawsuit accusing John Travolta of assault and sexual battery on two massage therapists includes lurid details of one of the alleged incidents. Travolta's lawyer soundly rejected the claims of both plaintiffs and called the claims of the first plaintiff "complete fiction."
In the first incident, Travolta allegedly groped a male massage therapist repeatedly and finally masturbated himself during the two-hour session in a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Jan. 16, 2012, according to court documents filed last Friday.
The first plaintiff, a Texas native who is unidentified in the court documents, "suffered severe emotional distress," the lawsuit claims. The lawsuit is asking for $2 million in damages.
"This lawsuit is a complete fiction and fabrication," a statement from Travolta's representative said. "None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred."
A second male therapist, who was allegedly sexually assaulted by Travolta at an Atlanta hotel on Jan. 25, was added to the lawsuit Tuesday.
"This second 'anonymous' claim is just as absurd and ridiculous as the first one," said Travolta lawyer Martin Singer on Tuesday afternoon.
The Travolta statement questions why the first plaintiff is identified only as "John Doe" in the court filing.
"The plaintiff, who refuses to give their name, knows that the suit is a baseless lie," the statement said. "It is for that reason that the plaintiff hasn't been identified with a name even though it is required to do so."
Travolta's statement said plaintiffs' attorney Okorie Okorocha filed the suit to "get his 15 minutes of fame." Once it is thrown out of court, Travolta will sue him for "malicious prosecution," it said.
Okorocha, who said his practice specializes in going after sexual predators, said he is not intimidated.
"There are many potential plaintiffs, but I am only adding them as I am able to fully investigate and vet them," Okorocha said.
Singer said it is "easily provable" that Travolta was not in California on the day the first incident allegedly happened "since John Travolta was on the East Coast working on a movie on the date that anonymous 'Doe No. 1' claims he interacted with our client."
Okorocha said he was in discussions with Travolta's lawyer for weeks before filing the suit last week and was never told this.
"I would not have filed it if they had indicated they had even McDonalds receipt to show he was anywhere but California," Okorocha said.
Travolta was photographed at an event in Los Angeles about 30 hours before the alleged incident, he said.
Travolta and his lawyer "already conceded he was in Los Angeles on Jan. 16, and we can prove it," Okorocha said.
Singer said it was "obvious" that Okorocha "checked media reports that my client was in Atlanta working on a movie" before filing the second claim about an incident at an Atlanta hotel.
"However, the claim by Doe No. 2 is just as fabricated as the claim by Doe No. 1," Singer said. "Our client will be fully vindicated in court on both of these absurd and fictional claims."
Travolta, 58, has been married to actress Kelly Preston for 20 years. The oldest of their three children, Jett, was 16 when he died of a seizure while the family was vacationing in the Bahamas in January 2009.
The lawsuit, obtained by CNN, alleges that Travolta called the first plaintiff, who advertises online with "professionally themed ads," to arrange for a massage at $200 an hour. Travolta picked him up in a black Lexus SUV at a Beverly Hills address and drove him to the hotel, according to the lawsuit.
When they entered the bungalow, Travolta "shamelessly stripped naked" in front of a professional chef and the plaintiff, the lawsuit states.
"He wants me to get on the table, can you believe that?" Travolta told the chef, according to the document.
"For the first hour the massage was without incident, other than he kept purposefully sliding the towel down that covered his buttocks to reveal about half of gluteus area," the suit states.
The massage therapist repeatedly slid the towel back up 10 times in the first hour, "reminding Defendant that state law required that a massage client be fully draped during the massage," the suit states.
When Travolta "started to rub Plaintiff's leg," he "thought it was accidental," it said.
