One At A Time SQL Agent Job
Recently I was on a project where I had an SSIS package that was doing a fair amount of ETL work, and based on the projected data load it was expected to take 10-15 minutes for an average load of data. The problem with this is that the job had to start based on some user interaction and that the user needed the results ASAP. Because of the complexity of the ETL, I did not want to rely on transactional boundaries to keep it straight because data is being written to and from multiple databases. The transactions would essentially put locks on almost any table in multiple databases which is not ideal.
Instead I decided to try and query the system tables to see if an instance of the SQL Agent job in charge of running this package is already started. I had queried system tables for table and database metadata before but never for job statuses. As it turns out this is a fairly straight forward task. After a little search of the web and a bit of trial and error, I had the following stored procedure.
-- ============================================= -- Author: JJ Bussert -- Create date: 2013-11-11 -- Description: www.mpspartners.com/author/jbussert/ -- ============================================= CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[StartOneAtATime] AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; DECLARE @JOB_NAME SYSNAME = N'SQL_Agent_Job'; IF NOT EXISTS( SELECT 1 FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs_view job INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity activity ON job.job_id = activity.job_id WHERE activity.run_Requested_date IS NOT NULL AND activity.stop_execution_date IS NULL AND job.name = @JOB_NAME ) BEGIN PRINT 'Starting job ''' + @JOB_NAME + ''''; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @JOB_NAME; END ELSE BEGIN PRINT 'Job ''' + @JOB_NAME + ''' already started '; END END
It is an extremely straight forward procedure. It looks to see if there are any instances of jobs that are still running, and if it does not find one it starts one. The addition of some very basic print statements helped when going through logs.
Now all we had to do was insert a call to this stored procedure at the end of the user interaction and our conflicting job executions went away. I added a little code at the end of the primary SSIS package to check for additional data from the user that was submitted since the last start. Then I re-started the lengthy ETL process. This way the job was not set on some polling schedule where it would run when it was not needed, and the users had to wait the minimum amount of time for their data to process.
Possible Enhancements
As you can see this is a very basic implementation which does exactly what I needed. There are a couple things you could add to make this more flexible and portable:
- Adding a parameter for the SQL Agent Job Name instead of having it hard coded.
- Returning some sort of status code, so the calling application knows the state of the job.
Final Thoughts
Again my implementation was very simple, but it is still a handy little utility that I will be holding onto for future data projects. It took a little forethought to design the primary package and data model to allow users to submit data that would wait in queue if another user already started the job, but it was well worth the effort.
Team Foundation Server Best Practices (3 of 3)
In the first two parts (Part 1, Part 2) of this series I went over what belongs in TFS and how to get it there. In this final part I'm going to explain some common mistakes to watch out for. Visual Studio 2012 and up seems to do a good job at giving you plenty of tools to help ensure you do not get into trouble, but it's still up to you, the developer, to use these tools.
Things to watch out for
Ignoring Solution and Project Files
I've mentioned this in both previous parts, but it's important enough to mention it one last time. Make sure you check in the solution (*.sln) and Project (*.csproj for C# Projects) definition files. This is mostly an issue with developers that are not as experienced with TFS. When they are making changes to code and go to check in these strange files with pending changes that they never touched, they don't check them in.
Not Checking in NuGet Packages
A lot of developers I have worked with that just start out with NuGet don't understand why they should be checked in. This is understandable because typically you do not check in DLLs and other binary files because normally you want other developers to build the code themselves. NuGet packages are different because they for one don't include source. So if you do not check in the source, the only way to get the binaries is to download them. Also checking in a NuGet package is a way of identifying the versions of third party libraries that your code depends on.
Checking in Config files with Local Settings
In particular when doing any sort of development against a database you will often have a local copy of a database running, so you can run and test code offline and without bumping into test data from other developers. Settings like the connection strings in this case should be stored in the app.config and web.config XML files, however you should not be checking in code with your local database name in it. Typically I see the name of a staging or shared development server being what is checked in, so when you need to get updated config files it is easy to do a find and replace for all occurrences of a server name and replace it with your local name. This is most important when you have multiple projects with some sort of configuration in each one that needs to be updated with some appropriate local value.
Not Providing Comments with your Check-Ins
Very few senior developers I have met say it is ok to check in code without comments. It seems stupid, but this is an incredibly invaluable aid when trying to track back what was going on with code several months back. Even something as simple as "Fixed Bugs" may seem like it's not worth the effort, but it can help separate bug fixes from enhancements that went wrong.
Not Asking for Help
The number one easiest way to get in trouble in any situation is to not ask for help when you are unsure about something. Asking a project lead "What is this .sln file that I have changes in but didn't change myself?" gets a very quick and easy answer as opposed to being unsure so just skipping files that end up being key to the changes you were working on. I have yet to work with a lead or manager that had an issue answering questions, no matter how simple or stupid they may seem. As long as it helps lead to a successful project in the end, they will gladly take the few minutes to help you understand something you are not familiar with.
I hope you got some benefit from this series. This is far from an exhaustive list of best practices, but instead a few key points that I deal with on a regular basis and thought were worth sharing.
Getting Started With SQL Server 2012 CLR User Defined Functions
When I'm on a data project such as using SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) to perform ETL tasks, I try to keep my code in SQL as much as possible. Typically this is the strongest skillset of someone that works with SSIS, however, sometimes that is not good enough. If you run across something that is just not practical to do in SQL Server via straight T-SQL, one solution can be to use a CLR user defined function. The problem with this is that it is something you probably don't do very often, so you may forget the specifics on how this works. Here is a quick tutorial on how to implement CLR user defined functions. You can bookmark this to hopefully save you from searching the web next time you need to do this.
A User Defined Function (or UDF for short) is exactly what it says, some function callable in SQL that is not part of the system functions. Great examples of this are when you are implementing system functionality that may exist in another database server to yours, or if you have some complex algorithm that you want to re-use throughout the database.
- SQL Server 2012
- Visual Studio 2012 Premium
- SQL Server 2012 Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
- Windows 8
First we want to create a new SQL Server Database Project, for this example I'll call it simply "UDF_Blog"
Once you have a project, lets create two new SQL CLR C# User Defined Functions at the root of the project:
- ScalarUDF.cs
- TableUDF.cs
That's it! We have a new C# file for each of the two examples that I will be explaining.
UDF Examples
Example 1: Scalar-valued UDF
A Scalar valued UDF is a fancy name for a function that returns a single value, they can return any value that can be cast into a SQL Server datatype (int, bit, varchar, etc.), for this example we'll return a simple string that will be cast as an nvarchar. Not a very exciting example, but you can see where you can use any C# code to do any complex processing to create the string that is returned. The only unique thing here is the [SqlFunction] attribute which identifies that this static method defines a UDF.
using System.Data.SqlTypes; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server; public partial class UserDefinedFunctions { [SqlFunction] public static SqlString ScalarUDF() { return new SqlString ("Hello World!"); } }

Example 2: Table-valued UDF
Another common type of UDF is a Table valued UDF which is simply a function that generates a table of data. Obviously it goes without saying that returning a grid of data is more complex than a single value and as a result the code to accomplish it.
using System.Collections; using System.Data.SqlTypes; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server; public partial class UserDefinedFunctions { private class TableType { public SqlInt32 Sequence { get; set; } public SqlString Text { get; set; } } public void TableUDF_FillRow( object tableTypeObject, out SqlInt32 sequence, out SqlString text) { var tableType = (TableType)tableTypeObject; sequence = tableType.Sequence; text = tableType.Text; } [SqlFunction( DataAccess = DataAccessKind.Read, TableDefinition = "Sequence int, Text nvarchar(100)", FillRowMethodName = "TableUDF_FillRow")] public static IEnumerable TableUDF() { var tableResults = new ArrayList { new TableType {Sequence = 1, Text = "Hello"}, new TableType {Sequence = 2, Text = "World"}, new TableType {Sequence = 3, Text = "!"} }; return tableResults; } }

.csharpcode .alt
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }There are three key components of this one.
- First create a private class that defines a SQL type for every "column" that will be in the table that you return
- Second: a FillRow method that SQL Server will use to take the returned IEnumerable into the various SQL column types that the table is made of one row at a time
- Third: the actual method where all of the UDF logic goes. Take whatever action you want to create an IEnumerable of TableTypes that will make up the returned data
This is just a quick overview to get you started so you'll need to check MSDN for details.
Now that we have two bare bone UDFs, let's compile them and deploy them to SQL Server. After compiling the project and getting the DLL, run the following from within SQL Server.
-- Enable CLR EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options' , '1' GO RECONFIGURE GO EXEC sp_configure 'clr enabled' , '1' GO RECONFIGURE GO EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options' , '0'; GO -- Install Assembly CREATE ASSEMBLY UDF_Blog FROM 'C:\UDF_Blog.dll' GO -- Create ScalarUDF CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ScalarUDF]() RETURNS nvarchar(100) WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER AS EXTERNAL NAME UDF_Blog.UserDefinedFunctions.ScalarUDF; GO -- Create TableUDF CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[TableUDF]() RETURNS table ( Sequence INT, Text NVARCHAR(100) ) AS EXTERNAL NAME UDF_Blog.UserDefinedFunctions.TableUDF; GO
The comments really speak for themselves. If this is the first CLR function that has been deployed to the server, you need to enable that functionality, install the assembly that contains the compiled code, and install the functions one by one so they can be used. When all of this is done, you can execute them just like you would any other pure SQL UDF.

Obviously these are very simplistic examples of what you can do but hopefully you can see the added flexibility that this option provides. I will caution you to not overuse this. Even though it is great to have this option, it does add considerable complexity to your system. If you can do in two lines of SQL what you are able to do in one line of C#, it is not worth it. However for more complex things that you can do in maybe ten lines of C# compared with a hundred in SQL, the trade off is more than worth it.
How to convert Windows 7 on MBR/BIOS to GPT/UEFI
There are few reasons to switch from MBR on BIOS to GPT on UEFI, but some like adventure. Current OS and motherboard support is quite inconsistent and not well documented. If you first installed on the former and want to switch to the latter without having to lose all your data or re-install Windows, then this is your guide.
The basic idea is to backup the current install to a disk image, erase the disk, then reload the backup. Windows ships with a disk imaging tool and an image restore tool. Unfortunately the restore tool (wbadmin) requires the target partition to be at least the same size as the original backup, so we have to use another method for restore.
WARNING: You may lose all the data on your disk during this process. Make sure to back up your data!
- A UEFI motherboard
- A copy of Windows 7 64bit installed to a local disk partitioned using MBR
- Windows install media (DVD, Hard disk, USB stick)
- Backup destination with enough space to hold a copy of your existing Windows install
- Sufficient free space on the Windows partition; the new partition will be about a gigabyte smaller.
- Backup your Windows installation and all other partitions on the physical disk to another physical disk. This backup can be done using the built-in image tool found within the control panel under "Backup and Restore" behind the "Create a system image" link. NOTE: The rest of this guide will assume just one partition to be restored.
- Reboot the computer to a Windows install disk.
- Open the command prompt
- press Shift + F10 at the "Install Windows" window.
- Repartition the disk
- diskpart
- list disk
- select disk x (where x is the number of the disk to convert)
- WARNING: This is your last chance to go back!
- clean
- convert gpt
- create partition ESP size=128
- format fs=fat32 quick
- assign letter=i or any other free drive letter
- create partition MSR size=128
- create partition primary
- format fs=ntfs label="Windows" quick
- active
- assign letter=y or any other free drive letter
- exit
- Mount the backup VHD
- diskpart
- select vdisk file=filename.vhd where filename.vhd is your disk backup
- attach vdisk
- assign letter=z or any other free drive letter for your new partition
- type: exit
- Restore the files from the image
- z: (where z is the letter of your VHD)
- xcopy * y:\ /e /c /h /k /o /b /q /y (where d is the letter of your new partition)
- e = copy all subdirectories even if they are empty
- c = ignore errors
- h = copy hidden and system files
- k = retain readonly flag
- o = copy file ownership
- b = copy links as links
- q = quiet mode (should speed things up)
- y = always respond with yes instead of prompting
- Copy EFI bootloader to ESP partition
- i: (where z is the letter of your ESP partition)
- mkdir EFI
- cd EFI
- mkdir Boot
- mkdir Microsoft
- cd Microsoft
- mkdir Boot
- copy x:\Windows\Boot\EFI\bootmgfw.efi i:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot
- copy x:\Windows\Boot\EFI\bootmgfw.edi i:\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi
- Create BCD
- This step varies quite a bit, depending on your system's hardware, existing NVRAM (non-volatile memory on your motherboard), and hidden BCD stores scattered around your system's disks and partitions.
- Cross your fingers and hope that this step can be done automatically
- bootrec /RebuildBcd
- If things don't work out, you will have to resort to using bcdedit. A few notes about BCD edit: it operates on the motherboard's NVRAM unless you specify a file. As far as I can gather, the NVRAM store doesn't matter as my PC basically ignores any setting within and boots just fine after I've erased it.
- i:
- cd EFI\Microsoft\Boot
- bcdedit /createstore BCD
- bcdedit /store BCD /create /d "Windows Boot Manager" {bootmgr}
- bcdedit /store BCD /create /d "Windows 7" /application osloader
- The previous command will return a GUID, referred to later as <guid>
- bcdedit /store BCD /set {bootmgr} default <guid>
- bcdedit /store BCD /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
- bcdedit /store BCD /set {bootmgr} locale en-us
- bcdedit /store BCD /set {bootmgr} displayorder {default}
- bcdedit /store BCD /set {bootmgr} timeout 10
- bcdedit /store BCD /set {default} device partition=c:
- bcdedit /store BCD /set {default} osdevice partition=c:
- bcdedit /store BCD /set {default} path \windows\system32\winload.efi
- bcdedit /store BCD /set {default} systemroot \windows
- Change your motherboard firmware to run in UEFI mode
- You should now be able to select your Windows disk as your startup disk.
Good luck!

Upgrade From Windows 8.1 Preview to RTM
If like me you installed the preview update for Windows 8.1 you may have recently then tried to update to the RTM (Release To Manufacturing) version. This may have resulted in an unpleasant surprise when the installer only gave you two options: Keep personal files only or Nothing.
Obviously this is not an ideal solution, I have my 8.1 environment setup just how I wanted it and didn't want to start over, so I hit Bing looking for a solution and I found one. Basically the RTM is not configured to upgrade from 8.1 preview. (Considering this is a free update that will be provided by Windows Update soon, this is not a big surprise). Thankfully I found a guide that walked through modifying a file on the install media to get around this limitation.
Upgrade Guide From news.softpedia.com
As you can see below, making this very minor change now gives me the option I want for "Keep Windows settings, personal files, and apps." I performed the upgrade and everything is running fine.
Note that modifying a configuration file to get the install to do what you want is NOT an officially recommended solution from Microsoft. If something goes wrong, don't go to the Microsoft Store asking for help because they may not be able to help you. But if like me you don't mind living on the edge a bit, then this is a solution that is confirmed to work for at least some people including myself. I had a laptop and a Surface Pro both running Windows 8.1 Preview, and now both are quite happy on the 8.1 RTM.
The Bottom Line
If you are impatient like me and want to update using RTM install media that (like me) you may have downloaded from your MSDN or other Microsoft subscription, then this simple little procedure will allow you to upgrade without losing anything.
If you are not in a hurry to get rid of the beta fish or the preview version number from the corner of your wallpaper, then just wait for the public release. I am sure there will be a download from Windows Update to seamlessly update, you so just be patient.
Team Foundation Server Best Practices (2 of 3)
- What Should Be Checked In
- The Right Way To Check In
- Things To Watch Out For (coming soon)
In part 1 I explained some of the key items that you want to keep in source control. Now that they under source control, let's discuss the proper ways to check changes in.
The Right way to Check In
Get Latest before checking in
It may seem minor, but it is very important to get the latest version before attempting to check code in. If you are working on a team with other developers, you need to assume that someone else either has made changes to the same source files or have made changes that impact your code. You should consider it your responsibility to merge your changes with any that others may have made.
Get Latest before checking in again
This was more of an issue with previous versions of Visual Studio that has been taken care of with later versions. Getting latest from within Source Explorer will get the latest version of all files that the solution and associated projects know about.
In the last post, I mentioned that *.sln and *.csproj (and other project types) keep a list of what projects and files are within the solution. Getting latest analyzes your current copy of these solution and project definitions and gets updates of all files based on that list (including the solution and project definitions themselves). The issue arises when you add a new file to a project or a new project to a solution because Visual Studio won't know about the new files until after the first check when the definitions are updated. After getting the updated definitions, getting latest again will get the new items this time around.
Even though newer versions of Visual Studio seem to be smart enough to take care of this on its own, I still get latest twice because it doesn't hurt to be sure.
Conflict Resolution
When you get latest to a resource that has been modified and checked in by someone else, first you need to resolve the differences and merge them into one up to date file. Many times Visual Studio can take care of this on its own but sometimes the changes are too close to one another. When that happens, you'll go through each change and ensure that the changes don't conflict with one another. Even after resolving changes, it's a good idea to test your code again to ensure that it still works as intended. This is an ideal situation for Unit Tests which leads to my next point:
Run Unit Tests
If you are working with a project with properly designed unit tests, you should always run all unit tests before every check in. This is not always practical. For example if you have tests that are doing load testing or involve large data sets, it may take several minutes to run, so you aren't going to run those constantly. However most standard unit tests, when designed properly, test small isolated sets of code, and take a few seconds to run hundreds of tests. If you can run through all of your tests in a few seconds, do it every time you check in. If your changes break functionality, it is your responsibility to correct the problems, or at the very least get the issue logged for someone else to resolve.
Check In Working Code
It may seem obvious, but TFS or any other source control platform is for storing working versions of code. All of the previous steps all boil down to the same thing: getting the latest version of all code and testing the changes either automatically via unit tests or manually to make sure what you ultimately check in is as close to working as possible. Bugs always happen but at the very least make sure your code compiles, make sure unit tests all pass, and if for some reason that isn't possible (most likely because you need help addressing an issue) be sure to log the issue appropriately so it is known. There is nothing more frustrating than stumbling across a bug near the end of a project that someone knew about early on and, for whatever reason, never communicated it with the rest of the team to get it resolved.
Stay tuned for the last part in this series "Things To Watch Out For."

Give Windows 8 Another Chance
Over the last year, I've heard a lot of positive and negative feedback about Windows 8. Personally I like Windows 8, even though it's far from perfect. Microsoft has a rocky road ahead of itself but the direction they are trying to take I think is ultimately the best one. I have, however, run into plenty of people that have nothing positive to say about Windows 8 – in particular the new "Start Screen". It seems to me that some of these people just need a little help to get over the learning curve and with the Windows 8.1 update right around the corner now's as good a time as any. So here are a few pointers to help you give Windows 8 the best chance to shine for you:
Give It Time
Believe it or not, I have met very few people (honestly I can think of two) that have not grown to like Windows 8 after giving it a fair chance. It is clearly a much more dramatic upgrade for users because it's so different, but if you try to keep an open mind it can actually help you get things done faster and more efficiently. The main issue seems to be that unlike previous versions of Windows (that may take an evening of playing around to get to know the differences), Windows 8 took me a good week of playing with it to learn all of the little tricks that I outline below. Even now I am still picking up little tips months later.
And obviously finding that kind of time is easier said than done, especially in the workplace, where you may not have time to spend a week playing with the new interface and figuring out how to get the most out of it. However, if you can find the time and have the patience to learn it, you will probably find it more intuitive to use than the old Start Button/menu.
Windows Key + C
This seems to be a little known keyboard shortcut that will bring up the "Charms". On my Surface Pro tablet it was very natural to swipe in from the right side of the screen to get the Charms to appear, but when using a mouse it can be clumsy to move your mouse to one of the right corners and wait for the charms to appear. In that scenario you likely have a keyboard (otherwise you'd have a touch screen and it wouldn't be an issue), so hit "Windows + C" and the Charms immediately appear. It seems like a little thing, but learning that made interacting with the Charms on my non-touch systems much smoother.
Windows Key
One major criticism of Windows 8 has been the removal of the familiar "Start Button". I think one reason people were so against this (myself included) is because we are so focused on using a mouse to interact with Windows, and like the Charms tip above, moving the mouse to the lower left corner is not the most convenient way to get to the start screen. In particular, if you have multiple monitors trying to get your mouse in the lower left corner of one screen without moving over to the next can be quite a challenge. The solution to this is simply to rely more heavily on the Windows key on your keyboard (you know that little key on the bottom of your keyboard that you may not have even known existed).
Microsoft has re-introduced the Start Button with the 8.1 update, so if you are still accustomed to using a mouse and don't want to use the keyboard, you can. It is not the Start Menu that so many were hoping would return, but if you use the Start Screen properly I think you'll find it not as bad as many like to make it out to be. And given the following tips on how to take better advantage of the start screen, you may find yourself not missing the Start Menu.
Just Type
Another thing a lot of people don't realize is how easy it is to find apps in the start screen. If you aren't sure where you put your app or if it's an app that you don't use often, just hit the Windows key and start typing. Windows will start searching for apps right away without you needing to do anything.
This is one area that Microsoft made great improvements in for the Windows 8.1 update. The search feature that launched with Windows 8 was ok but it was sometimes a little difficult to find system level things like control panel items. For example if you search for "Even Viewer" it wouldn't appear right away, you had to use the "Settings" filter unless you knew that the exact executable was "eventvwr". In the 8.1 update Microsoft has streamlined this by removing the unneeded refinements for "Settings" and "Files" always searching now for everything which I find much more intuitive and more in line with how the search in the start menu used to work.
I rarely need to look for something beyond searching as long as I have some idea of what it's called. This, combined with the more intuitive access to the "All Apps" list from the Start Screen, means I rarely have issues finding what I need quickly. Like everything I can still see some room for improvement but all in all I'm happy with how it is evolving.
How to use the Start Screen
Clearly the most controversial feature in Windows 8 is the Start Screen; for better or worse we have all gotten used to the Start Button and the Start Menu since Windows 95, when it first came out. I'm not going to debate if the decision to migrate to the Start Screen was good or bad (because that could be a full blog article by itself), but Microsoft felt it was time for a change, so I strove to figure out the best way to adapt to the new Start Screen. All in all I do like it better now.
The key to the Start Screen is it is a "start" screen, emphasis on start. It is not meant to be a place to have a tile for absolutely every app on your system (unless you happen to only have 10 apps installed – then it's fine). Only pin apps to the start screen that you use regularly, an email client like Outlook or a news app that you start every morning for example. Similar to how you probably use your Windows desktop today, you have shortcuts for your most used apps and you browse the Start Menu for things that you use less frequently.
You may be thinking that this is a waste; why not just put the icons on the desktop like I've always done and skip this new screen? The advantage of the Start Screen is the "Live Tiles", so you can start your system up and email or news apps can display messages on the tiles to let you know what app you need to start first. Maybe a breaking news story just hit or an email from your boss needs immediate attention. Using the old way, you may open one app not realizing that there is something more important that you should be paying attention to first. Now with my example of only two apps, email and news, you may say just open both apps at once. However, as more and more app providers start taking advantage of Live Tiles, you could have several tiles that you quickly review before choosing which one needs your attention first. It will take time before this vision is fully realized, but there are constantly more and more apps in the Windows marketplace. Unlike day one when Windows 8 came out and the Start Screen just looked like a static collection of colorful tiles, now it can be a wealth of information right at your fingertips.
I'm not saying that Windows 8 is perfect (I have several ideas of things Microsoft could do to improve it) but it definitely deserves either a look if you haven't given it a chance yet or a second look if you were less than impressed the first time around. There are plenty of things that I agree should still be improved in a later update, but all in all I feel Microsoft is going in the right direction. If you gave it a look before and weren't happy, I urge you to keep the above tips in mind and give it another try with Windows 8.1. I won't deny it's a big change, but in the end I'm happy now that I'm accustomed to the new interface; hopefully you will be too!
Team Foundation Server Best Practices (1 of 3)
Recently I have been on a few projects with developers that were not as experienced in using Visual Studio with Microsoft's Team Foundation Server. So, I thought it was prudent to put together some best practices to help them over some minor learning curves and also as a refresher for those of us that have been using it for years.
What should be checked in?
This may seem obvious but there are some things that you may not think of checking in that you should.
Solution/Project Files
Your *.sln and *.csproj (and others) contain the list of every file that is in your solution/project. If you just check in a folder of files on your screen it may look fine but when someone else goes to get your code they won't see these files.
NuGet Packages
If you are not familiar with NuGet packages it's well worth your time to look it up. This was more of an issue with previous versions of Visual Studio but since they are not visible in the solution explorer and contain binary files (*.dll) inexperienced developers may ignore them not realizing that these should be checked in.
Most projects that I deal with have some sort of scripts associated with them. These include things like scripting the setup of a new local environment (for new developers or getting a clean slate for existing ones) or deployment scripts (for upgrading an existing database schema to work with the latest version of your code).
- PowerShell
- Batch Files
- etc.
Even though I like to keep documentation in a CMS like SharePoint it's also very helpful to check it in with the rest of your code. I most often do this when merging code into another branch because it's nice to keep the doc that goes with a particular version tied to it in source control.
- Deployment Instructions
- Technical Specifications
There are plenty of other things to make sure you have checked in but these are the big ones that I often see missed by old and new developers alike.
Look for the next part in this series "The Right Way to Check In"

- Consider the numbers 1/3 , 7 , -15
- To which of these sets of numbers
- these numbers belong to. Lets review each of these
- Natural numbers are counting numbers
- not equal 0. it is 1,2,3,... so on and so forth
- The whole numbers are natural numbers plus 0
- Whole numbers are 0,1,2,3,4
- The integers is the whole numbers plus opposite of it
- It is whole numbers plus negative of natural numbers
- like -4,-3,-2,-1
- 0, 1, 2, 3,4, ... so on and so forth
- rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed
- as a ratio of two integers.Rational number can be
- expressed as m/n where m and n are integers
- and n cannot be 0 as anything divided by 0
- is not defined. But m could be 0
- as 0 can be expressed as 0/1 or 0/2 or 0/3
- or 0/-537 these are all representations of 0
- Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot
- be expressed as ratios of integers
- examples of irrational numbers are numbers that

- π, √2 are examples of irrational numbers
- and then real numbers are really all of these combined
- if you are combining the rational numbers
- and irrational numbers you are talking
- about real numbers.every real number
- is either rational or irrational.
- lets classify what we have
- 1/3 is not a natural number as it is not
- a counting number. It is not a whole number
- it is not an integer.is it a rational number
- sure it is as 1 and 3 are integers. so 1/3
- is a rational number.if something is rational
- it cannot be irrational and it is also a real number
- lets try 7
- number 7 is a natural number, whole number
- any natural is a whole number
- any natural and whole number si an integer
- so 7 is also a integer.
- any number that is natural, whole and integer
- is a rational number. we can write 7 as 7/1
- we can write any integer as that number / 1
- if it is rational it cannot be irrational.
- it is also going to be real
- we have -15.
- it is not a natural number
- natural number are positive integers only
- it is not a whole number
- it is an integer, it is the opposite of +15
- it is rational as it can be written as -15/1
- and because it is rational it cannot be irrational

My pet peeve is the cashier and bag person at the grocery store carrying on a conversation while checking and bagging in a half-hazard way. I don't care about the I said she said and baby mama daddy drama. Put the cold stuff together and don't pack my eggs or bread with the gallon of milk. And dont ever put the koolaid pack with the milk or anything cold. It absorbs the condensation and gets hard and useless.
I agree with mdale, this tops the list for me. It seems Bi-Lo cashiers and baggers are some of the worst. I know most of them are young and bagging my groceries is not what they are interested in but it is there job and they should keep their mind on what they are doing right at the moment if possible.

This is a major milestone for the program and the Department of ASL – English Interpretation, which was created in 1993 and is home to the only BA-granting interpreting program within a 100-mile radius of the South Loop. "This is by far one of the most significant achievements for our department in our history," said Diana Gorman Jamrozik, Associate Professor in the Department of ASL – English Interpretation and the next chair of the department, beginning Fall 2012. "Accreditation validates our curriculum, but so do our graduates, who represent Columbia College Chicago daily as leaders in the field of interpretation." In its report to Columbia, the CCIE noted that the Department of ASL – English Interpretation and its BA program have many strengths, including, "The fit between the unified passion and purpose of the department and the mission of the college, benchmarks for assessing student progress through the major … [and] solid administrative skills of the program director and the clear administrative support from within the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, especially from the Dean." The CCIE is a member of the Association of Specialized and Professional Accreditors and was created to promote professionalism in sign language interpreter education through accreditation. Provided the Department of ASL – English Interpretation continues to meet the CCIE's standards and benchmarks, including developing and implementing a process that tracks and analyzes alumni outcomes, national accreditation for the program will last through at least April of 2022. "By being accredited by the CCIE, students can be confident that the ASL – English Interpretation major meets, or exceeds, national standards for excellence in interpreter education," Jamrozik said. "Accreditation highlights our program and puts it at a level that very few other programs in the country have."

"Most people who are buying over the Internet have done their homework. They are comfortable, they are a little computer savvy, they know what color is, they know what cut is, and all you need to do is start comparing sizes and qualities with other like sizes and qualities," Johnson said.
The bottom line is that there are deals to be had online. Here are some guidelines for savvy shoppers:
- If you decide to go shopping online, check the site's reputation. It should be a member of Jewelers of America or the American Gem Society.
- Shop on a site that offers reports from accredited labels like the International Gemological Institute or the Gemological Institute of America.
- Make sure the site has a toll-free phone number so you can talk to a real person if there's an issue.
- Make sure any resizing and shipping is free.
- Look for an online jeweler with a 30-day return policy -- no questions asked.

A local woman is fighting for her life, and the community is offering some help.
A fundraiser was held at the Cambria Pines Lodge on Saturday to help Kambria Wesch-Doherty. She's a local teacher and mother of three. She gave birth to her youngest child just three months ago. At that time, doctors discovered she has a rare and aggressive cancer called neuroendocrine carcinoma.
Saturday's benefit concert was the second of three fundraisers set up for her.
"i just want to thank everybody for their support of Kambria. She's very overwhelmed in the support that she's had," said Debbie Wesch, Kambria's mother.
The next fundraiser is on February 23rd at Sculpterra Winery in Paso Robles.

JUSTIN BIEBER has paid tribute to a young fan who lost her battle with cancer on Sunday (17Mar13).
The Baby hitmaker made little Briana's dreams come true last year (12), when an online campaign launched by her parents led to a meeting between the 10-year-old leukemia sufferer and her pop icon.
The pre-teen passed away over the weekend.
Taking to his Twitter.com page on Monday (18Mar13), he wrote, "just got news about little Briana. I was honored to meet her. I know she is up in heaven smiling. #ripBriana #love".
Bieber also shared a cute photo of the pair from their 2012 meeting.

NBA Summer League: Buyer's Remorse?
Posted By Derek Page On July 24, 2012 @ 12:00 pm In All,Main Page,NBA Summer League | No Comments
The NBA Summer League is a place where unseasoned newcomers to the NBA come to hone their talents against similarly capable competition. Top picks with immense pressure to produce match up against each other and also are pitted against journeymen just looking to prove they belong in the NBA.
Some players, like Damian Lillard and Josh Selby among others, relish the opportunity and demonstrate that they can produce or even excel against a collection of their peers. For others, the proving ground is harsh and their respective teams begin to realize just how much work is going to have to go into developing these players.
The jury is still out on pedigreed players still in their early 20′s and this is not an indictment of what their NBA careers may or may not end up being. That being said, here's a list of some notable young guys who weren't able to distinguish themselves in the 2012 NBA Summer League:
Derrick Williams (2nd overall pick, 2011 – Minnesota Timberwolves)
Although he averaged 15.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per contest, Williams struggled to find his shot, making only 35 percent of his field goals. On top of that, Williams simply played sloppy basketball and turned the ball over frequently in five games with 3.4 giveaways per contest. Efficiency was not the big man's strong suit as he also jacked up 16 three-pointers in five games, making just two at a 12.5 percent clip.
In Minnesota's final summer league contest Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies, Williams made just 1 of 10 shots and was a non-factor, with more turnovers (2) than his lone rebound in the T-Wolves' victory. The Timberwolves continue to have high hopes for the 6'8 forward going into his second NBA season, but this summer was not the best showing for Williams – despite what his scoring average suggested.
Dion Waiters (4th overall pick, 2012 – Cleveland Cavaliers)
Already viewed as somewhat of a reach as a top-five selection in this year's draft by Cleveland, Waiters did little to prove his critics wrong with the Cavs' summer league team. In three games (two starts), Waiters averaged just 12.3 points per contest on a woeful 30 percent shooting.
Waiters averaged 30 minutes per contest, yet averaged no more than three assists or rebounds per game and turned the ball over 3.2 times an outing. Of the four top-5 picks that played in the 2012 NBA Summer League, Waiters was the least effective for his new squad.
Jan Vesely (6th overall pick, 2011 – Washington Wizards)
Although he shot 50 percent from the field, the second-year player averaged just 9.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per contest this summer.
Defensively,Vesely continued to play more with his hands than by moving his feet on a consistent basis and picked up a whopping 27 fouls in four complete summer league games. Adding injury to insult, Vesely rolled his ankle just two minutes in to the Wizards' fifth and final game of summer league play.
With Andray Blatche amnestied and out of the fold, Vesely had an opportunity to prove he could be the first big man off the bench for the Wizards and may have blown it.
Terrence Ross (8th overall, 2012 – Toronto Raptors)
A surprise to many after being taken in the top-10 of this year's draft, Ross went into the NBA Summer League trying to prove his doubters wrong and that he was indeed worthy of the eighth overall pick. To be just, Ross did score over 21 points in two summer league contests, although it took an average of 18 shot attempts to get there in each contest.
Overall, Ross proved that he's capable of putting up points by averaging almost 14.5 per, but efficiency in getting those totals was an issue. Ross made only 37 percent of his shots in summer league, was 6-24 behind the arc and finished by making only 2 of 8 baskets in the Raptors' summer league finale.
Austin Rivers (10th overall pick, 2012 – New Orleans Hornets)
In two games in the NBA Summer League, Rivers showed there's plenty of work to be done as he tries to learn the point guard position. So far, the results have not been satisfactory. In 32 minutes per outing, Rivers scored 10 points on an abysmal 21 percent shooting and averaged nearly as many turnovers (3) as assists (3.5). On the defensive end, Rivers had trouble hanging with his competition and was forced to commit a total of 11 fouls in those two contests.
In all fairness, Rivers deserves some slack here. At 19 years old, Rivers is in the process of learning to play the most difficult position on the floor and was without his biggest asset going into next season in first overall pick Anthony Davis.
Cole Aldrich (11th overall pick, 2010 – Oklahoma City Thunder)
Fighting for a role as the number two center on the Thunder roster, Aldrich might have positioned himself as the third-string center in Oklahoma City behind newly signed Hasheem Thabeet. Over four starts in the Orlando Summer League, Aldrich cracked double digits just once and finished with pedestrian averages of 5 points (40 percent shooting) and 6.5 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per.
Kendall Marshall (13th overall pick, 2012 – Phoenix Suns)
Another point guard looking to find his way, Marshall had his share of ups and downs over the last few weeks. In four contests, Marshall made just 31 percent of his shots and averaged just seven points and 6.5 assists. The first three games were even more brutal, with Marshall making just 5 of 25 shots (0-8 from deep) for a total of 13 points to go along with 10 turnovers.
The good news for Marshall is that he finished strong and proved that he was starting to get it at the point guard position. With 15 points (6-10 from the field on 3-4 from behind the three-point arc) and 10 dimes on Saturday, Marshall was able to leave Las Vegas with a more optimistic view than he would have just a few days before.
Fab Melo (21st overall pick, 2012 – Boston Celtics)
Playing in both the Orlando and Las Vegas Summer Leagues, Melo proved that his game needs plenty of polish before he can compete at the NBA-level. Over his first five games, Melo averaged just 1.8 points on 29 percent shooting and grabbed 4.8 boards.
Melo played better in his final five games (three starts) in Vegas, bumping his shooting percentage up to 53 percent and scoring a few more points per contest for the C's. Foul trouble also wasn't an issue with Melo, racking up under 2.5 personals per in 10 total games.
There's little doubt that Melo is a work in progress and Boston hopes the experience this summer will benefit the seven-footer when training camp rolls around in September.
Marquis Teague (29th overall pick, 2012 – Chicago Bulls)
In his first action against NBA-level competition, Teague struggled to find any type of rhythm over the course of the last few weeks. The 19-year-old point guard out of Kentucky shot just 29 percent over five summer league starts and averaged more turnovers (3.8) per game than assists (3).
Teague did average double-digits in scoring (10.6 points per) this summer, but it's evident that the Bulls first-round pick needs plenty of seasoning before he can compete on the NBA stage.
Festus Ezeli (30th overall pick, 2012 – Golden State Warriors)
The final pick of the first round of the 2012 NBA Draft, Ezeli has proven to be a project early on with Golden State. Over the course of five games, all starts, Ezeli had trouble getting into any type of rhythm offensively and was shut out in two of those five contests during summer league play.
With both Andrew Bogut and Andris Biedrins entrenched in front of him in the Warriors' rotation at center, Ezeli will have quality veterans to learn from and plenty of time to ready his NBA game.
For most of these players, getting their first taste of NBA Summer League action was a humbling experience. Learning from the knowledge gained over the past few weeks is going to be the key in terms of proving themselves to their new squads.
Being ready to compete in training camp and subsequently contend for a spot in the rotation are goals that are going to depend on these players learning from their summer league mistakes.

I think the amount of time it takes a turret to turn 360 degrees should be a statistic added to the vehicle class.
Would be nice for those making WW2 tanks and also add some survivability to AT soldiers.
(The direction the turret turns to look for the AT soldier should be somewhat random if the AT gunner's noise is outside the hearing range of the commander when turned out or turned in. Of course, if you get hit you have some idea which direction the shot is coming from.)
Also, tanks should at least point their turret at someone firing a rifle at it to look at their enemy and decide whether he is a danger.

California Community College Students Play Leading Role in Narrowing the Digital Divide (Cont'd)
This program gives our students the necessary tools and training to provide access for underserved populations to the Internet while building the state's foundation for economic growth and job creation."

Higher education
$10.9 million budget
The Foundation for California Community Colleges (Foundation) is the non-profit foundation of the California Community Colleges' Board of Governors and Chancellor's Office. It works to benefit, support and enhance the missions of the state community college system, the largest higher education system in the nation. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit corporation and receives no direct state or public support.
The Foundation launched California Connects, an effort to improve digital literacy, to enhance education, job prospects and quality of life for people for whom computer and Internet use is still a challenge. A federal grant provided laptops to thousands of community college students who agreed to share their computer knowledge with their families and other members of their community. Since Internet access is an important aspect of digital literacy, the Foundation needed an efficient way to supply Internet connectivity for the laptops whether students were on campus or on the go.
The Foundation purchased laptops with built-in connectivity to the AT&T wireless network as well as AT&T wireless data plans, giving students the tools they need to become digitally adept and enabling them to share their knowledge with others. So far the program has distributed more than 4,000 computers; eventually there will be laptops in the hands of 5,800 community college students who will use them to improve the computer and Internet skills of tens of thousands of Californians.
Narrowing the Digital Divide
The Foundation for California Community Colleges supports students in the state's 112 community colleges with educational and training opportunities throughout the state and by raising funds to support scholarships. Community colleges attract students hoping to qualify for better jobs to improve their quality of life and that of their family, but many of them are unfamiliar with or have little access to technology when they start classes.
The differences this project makes today will have a long-term effect on society, and will help current college students be prepared for the workforce of tomorrow."
Keetha Mills, President and CEO of the Foundation for California Community Colleges
Technology education is an important aspect of the Foundation's mission. "Students must be able to leverage and utilize technology to advance their lives personally and professionally," said Dr. Elisa Orosco Anders, Director of the Foundation's California Connects program. "As technology has advanced, we have seen gaps in terms of who has had access to it – especially broadband Internet."
Although most colleges have computer labs, they are often in use nonstop, as are many other public computer centers. Students without computers and adequate access to wireless Internet services are at risk of falling behind in today's knowledge-based economy, Dr. Anders noted. "If we didn't make a concerted effort to reach out, there would be people that were not only left behind but almost opted out of the system," she said. Her concerns were echoed in an essay submitted by a student from Mission College, an institution supported by the Foundation: "As any student can tell you, college without a computer is like a car without tires."
Thanks to a $10.9 million Federal Reinvestment and Recovery Act grant, the Foundation launched the California Connects program to increase digital literacy among community college students and other underserved Californians. ''The federal government recognizes that California's community colleges and students are uniquely qualified to help close our nation's digital divide. That's something we can all be proud of,'' said California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott. ''This program gives our students the necessary tools and training to provide access for underserved populations to the Internet while building the state's foundation for economic growth and job creation.''
Internet Connectivity on Demand
California Connects supplies laptop computers to thousands of Mathematics, Engineering, Science, Achievement (MESA) program students at 34 community colleges throughout the state who intend to transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
"As a community service, the students who receive laptops must teach others how to use the Internet to complete essential tasks," said Daniel Gilbert Valencia, California Connects Program Manager. "Without wireless connectivity, it's very difficult to train someone on all of the possibilities that the Internet provides," he said. "Whether they're showing someone how to sign up for a Department of Motor Vehicles appointment and save themselves four hours or teaching another person how to enroll in classes online, they need the Internet."
Since Web access would also give students access to all of the educational resources they can use to further their education while they're off campus, California Connects needed an efficient way to provide it for students. The Foundation's AT&T account team suggested equipping the laptops with high-speed connectivity to the AT&T wireless network. "We wanted the best quality resources for our students, but we're always looking for ways to do more with less," Dr. Anders said. "AT&T has been consistently supportive of that and their team was extremely solutions-oriented."
Dr. Anders and her colleagues also like AT&T's wireless coverage in the state to support all community college students, and that their account team is consistently responsive.
Keetha Mills, President and CEO of the Foundation, voiced appreciation for the efforts of AT&T and the other technology companies that support California Connects. "This project is making a significant impact on communities and students throughout our state, thanks in large part to the collaboration of so many organizations and companies coming together to provide much-needed digital literacy tools and training. The differences this project makes today will have a long-term effect on society, and will help current college students be prepared for the workforce of tomorrow."
"Resounding Appreciation"
Student reaction to California Connects was immediate and overwhelmingly positive. Officials heard from many, including a pre-med student who was grateful to receive her first computer as part of the program. "She had a 90-minute commute each way to college via public transportation, and having that computer allowed her to study and do her homework en route," Valencia said. "Had she not had it, she said, she would have had to drop out. For her, the program made all the difference."
Another student was able to keep up with his studies despite the fact that his family became homeless during the school year. "The computer was the main way he kept in touch with his professors and continued to be enrolled," Valencia added. "I don't think a program's impact can get more intense than that."
Most students don't have such dramatic experiences, but are just thrilled that they have the opportunity to share what they learn with others. "The ability to have 24/7 access and use it, for example, to enroll in classes early in the enrollment period was a really big deal to a lot of students," Valencia said. Those who can't register online and have to wait in registration lines are sometimes closed out of the classes they need, which can delay their graduation a year or more.
"Removing that barrier is a huge blessing for these students," Dr. Anders said. She saw "a resounding appreciation" from students better able to communicate with their faculty and those who became more engaged by participating in study groups and sharing what they've learned with their peers.
"Removing that barrier is a huge blessing for these students," Dr. Anders said. She saw "a resounding appreciation" from students better able to communicate with their faculty and those who became more engaged by participating in study groups and sharing what they've learned with their peers.
A Profound Effect on Communities
Surprisingly, students enjoy the community service the program requires of them as much as they like having their own computers. They are armed with digital literacy training to serve as community trainers. "Many found it made a real difference in their lives – when they trained their grandparents, uncles, aunts and other family members, they realized the big knowledge gap and fear that they were able to bridge," Dr. Anders said. "And a lot of students report that it changed their lives that they were able to reach out and help those people to embrace technology and overcome their fear."
One student described the feeling she gets when she sees someone experience an "AHA!" moment. "When I was able to connect my grandmother on Facebook and she could see pictures and videos of my niece and nephew in Oregon, she looked as if Bob Barker just told her she just won a new car," the student wrote. "This grant will have a profound effect on the communities it is introduced into, and I know that because it has already had a huge effect on my life and the people that I help."
Some community service efforts are led by MESA instructors who take students to senior centers or homeless shelters. Others are self-directed, with students assisting at their churches, local libraries or within their own families. "The technology itself became a conduit for students to take their work even further," Dr. Anders said. Instead of MESA directors sending out announcements about scholarship or internship opportunities, students are now empowered to get that information themselves on their own computers.
Joy and Accomplishment
Officials emphasize that the California Connects program isn't a giveaway. "We tell students, 'You are going to earn your computer and you're going to give more than you're getting,'" Dr. Anders said. "We're investing tax dollars in them because they're worth it; it gives them confidence that we know will make them even more successful. We're making an investment in them as individuals and an investment in the country as a whole."
Most students report that they're honored to be part of this program. They have a sense of duty and take their responsibilities seriously. "It's great to see that as an additional success of the program," she said. Being able to share their knowledge with their families and the community is another point of pride. "That's where students tell us they've found the most joy and sense of accomplishment."
Those involved in the program would like to see California Connects include more students across the state. "We have a very strong curriculum, model and design, and now we have expertise in terms of deploying it," Dr. Anders said. "We hope to expand, but it comes down to resources."
The value of the California Connects program is hard to overstate. "I think it's really inspirational on a human level," she said. "Students' gratitude, their passion and eagerness to expand their opportunities and knowledge and share that knowledge with others in their community speaks to the power of this program."

They're already on the coast and are spreading slowly to the north. Unlike fire ants, crazy ants don't sting-- but they can cause some other problems. They seem to be attracted to electrical equipment and have been known to crawl into computers and breaker boxes shorting them out. And they don't confine themselves to a mound. Once they take over a yard, they're everywhere. Their only redeeming value: they tend to push the fire ants out.

After suffering a devastating car crash one year before, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) is lured to the States with her friend Beth (Alex Reid) to a special spelunking trip by the fearless Juno (Natalie Mendoza), who abruptly fled from the U.K. after Sarah's accident. Along with two old friends and a new acquaintance of Juno's, the group embark on a cave expedition that takes a turn for the worse after a rock fall leaves them stranded in an uncharted cave with no map and only a handful of supplies to last them the rest of the trip. As tensions arise in the group, they are faced with another danger -- one whose love of the dark is as strong as its lust for blood. Opening to rave reviews in the U.K. in July of 2005, the creature-feature went on to show at the Venice Film Festival and garnered the top prize for Euro feature at Sweden's Fantastic Film Festival. The Descent was picked up for future U.S. distribution by Lion's Gate, whose work was cut out for them considering the tame opening of the similarly-themed stateside production of The Cave in late-August of the same year. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Critic Reviews
Sarah Lilleyman, TIME Magazine
Marshall could very well be the Caravaggio of the B-movie.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
This intermittently effective UK horror thriller carefully establishes the psychological relationships among the women, then squanders this calibrated and generally plausible setup with a series of crude, implausible, and scattershot horror effects.
Claudia Puig, USA Today
For my money, [the] first 20 or so minutes are the best in the film. Once the real adventure gets underway in the cave, things get less interesting.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
While the movie has wonderful moments of unmotivated tension that make sure we're quite ill at ease from the beginning, it's also got a few too many of the kind of cheap boo-scares that indicate a director not fully trusting his grip on you.
Judy Chia Hui Hsu, Seattle Times
Tight shots of women desperately wriggling through worm holes or teetering on a ledge overlooking an abyss create a claustrophobic effect, one that leaves the characters gasping for air and the audience breathing shallower.

SPANISH EDITION. Drawing on experiences from his work with Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and individual leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud, a clinical psychologist and nationally syndicated radio host, shows how our character can keep us from achieving all we want to (or could) be.
ePub, Reflowable$6.99
In Integrity, Dr. Cloud explores the six qualities of character that define integrity. He uses stories from well-known business leaders like Michael Dell and sports figures like Tiger Woods to illustrate each of these qualities. He shows us how people with integrity: Are able to connect with others and build trust Are oriented toward reality Finish well Embrace the negative Are oriented toward increase Have an understanding of the transcendent Success is not related to only talent or brains. There are a lot of bright, talented people who are never successful. And the most successful are not only the ones with the most talent. The real factor, Cloud demonstrates, is the makeup of the person. All of us can grow in the kinds of real character that bring about fruitful relationships and achievement of purpose, mission, and goals. Integrity is not something that you either have or don't, but instead is an exciting growth path that all of us can engage in and enjoy.
