There are so many out there. So do you see why I have an inferiority complex? I will try to be better, really I will. However, for this posts I will let the others do the photo talking.

One key trick is to take a ton of photos. Even professional photos (especially them, actually) take a lot of pictures, end up with a couple knock outs.
Also, crop a otherwise manipulate photos that you like but have something wrong. Great picture of your child shows the mess on the couch? Cut off that part of the picture. Photo too dark? Lighten it a bit.
Not that I'm claiming to be a great photographer, but I do find that taking ten pictures of the same thing increases the chance that one will be lovely. I cart my camera everywhere. Hey, I'm taking my diaper bag or purse anyway! - 6/09/2006 9:41 AM

There is lots of great software out there to crop and edit your pictures. Some probably even came with your camera. If not google 'photo editting software'. Or if you want to try a big program you can try free trials of Photoshop (Adobe.com) or Paint Shop Pro (Corel.com). Photo Impression from Arcsoft is another good one for both editting and viewing pictures. That one came with our printer, but I know you can go to photoimpression.com .
I wish I posted more pictures. My problem is that I never think to until I am already posting. Then I would have to download the pictures off the camera, and edit them, and upload them to Photobucket. SO I end up just skipping it. - 6/09/2006 10:28 AM

My own favorite is http://lucullian.blogspot.com
I also have a Canon Powershot, and aspire to better photographs.
Cafe Mama talked (recently) about her cameras, filters, etc., - all film cameras, by the way - and (obviously) her love of the fish eye.
How do others feel about digital v. film? And, if digital, is it down to the cost of the camera, or down to the editing and enhancing tools? - 6/09/2006 3:32 PM

Hello Heather! Oh, stop it! Do a thing, try, try and try. Practise. I've posted a link to that DIY website with some good tips about photography. One is pretty good, because talks about how shoot kids well. Your camera is good. Canon is one of the best brands. Read the instructions (they always come with a book and for better pictures, do it what they say). Try close up shots (I love it). Hope I am helping. I am not great..but if I can help you...
Software is good for some help. Correct light, contrast, etc..but you won't fix everything doing that. Some photos are impossible to correct.
Thanks a lot!!!I wanna see pictures here, don't be shy, show us because I am sure you can do it. - 6/10/2006 9:09 PM

R wont let me put the photos up, but besides I'm feeling pretty inadequate with learning how to even get them online. YOu're doing great! It takes me forever to just blog, let alone all the things you do. It must take you some little bit of time.
How are you doing? I finally added another post to my blog. come read me. are things better with you? Have you gotten you space set up yet? HOw's the remodel coming? email me some pics of in progress stuff. I can't picture it, and we'd love to see it.
talk soon! - 6/12/2006 12:56 PM

I feel the same way, my photos suck and that's after hours of photshopping them. I've asked everyone what kinds of cameras they use, lighting, etc. Still, mine suck but that doesn't stop me from posting hundreds :)
- Eli's Mom said...
Wow - you're right! Some of those moms have great photos (cafe mama especially). Dont' let that stop you though... a lot of 'good' photo taking is in the practice. Thank God for digital cameras so you can practice without spending money on film. Post those pictures! :)
- Waya said...
For me, I'm a little afraid of posting photos of my family b/c there are so many weirdos out there. So I haven't really post any pix on my blog. But I do have some funny ones, not saying that they are good, but funny...yes.
I love all the pix that Mother May I took. She's extremely talented, I think.
Maybe you folks can give me a tip or two about your feelings of posting or not posting photos of your family. - 6/16/2006 11:14 AM

thanks for the shout out...
hope your leg mends quickly!
oh and I looove those carpet tiles...very cool. - 7/22/2006 3:17 PM

Ukraine Election Brings Market Triumph for Bonds: Russia Credit
Andras Gergely and Ksenia GalouchkoRussia's bonds are extending the best rally in at least four years as Petro Poroshenko won Ukraine's presidential ballot with a mandate to resolve the crisis that's roiled the nation since November.
The billionaire got 54 percent of yesterday's vote with 72.3 percent of ballots counted, the Election Commission in Kiev said, dodging a run-off that Bank of America Corp. said would have triggered more market volatility. Russian and Ukrainian assets rallied this month on speculation a clear electoral verdict would spur talks on calming the crisis and re-establish rapport with President Vladimir Putin.
"This is the most positive outcome the markets would wish for at the moment," Vladimir Miklashevsky, a strategist at Danske Bank A/S in Helsinki, said by phone yesterday. "Hopefully, it de-escalates" the situation and "we're going to see a strong market, both in Russia and in eastern Europe," he said.
Russia's dollar government notes returned 6.1 percent in May, while Ukraine's advanced 7.8 percent, the two leading performers among 56 sovereigns in the Bloomberg USD Emerging Market Sovereign Bond Index. The securities had slumped earlier this year as Putin annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula and the U.S. and European Union slapped sanctions on his inner circle in retaliation, with threats to add additional penalties.
Putin's Recognition
The yield on Russia's dollar note due in September 2023 dropped to 4.55 percent at 7:28 p.m. in Moscow, the lowest since Jan. 22. Ukraine's benchmark Eurobonds extended two weeks of gains, cutting the yield on the dollar note due in April 2023 by one basis point to 9.02 percent, the lowest since April 4. The return on Russian dollar bonds this month is the biggest since at least February 2010, the Bloomberg index shows.
The election will draw a line under the rule of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, the Russian-backed leader who fled in February after three months of deadly street protests in support of closer European ties. Putin, who doesn't recognize the government in Kiev, has said he would work with the winner. His foreign minister Sergei Lavrov reiterated the pledge today, saying Russia was ready for talks with Poroshenko. The U.S and its allies said they'd tighten sanctions against Russia if voting was disrupted.
'Daunting' Challenges
With continuing fighting in east Ukraine that also hampered yesterday's voting there, Poroshenko may face questions over his legitimacy, Neil Shearing, London-based chief emerging-market economist at Capital Economics, wrote in an e-mailed report today.
"The challenges facing Mr. Poroshenko are daunting to say the least," Shearing wrote.
Poroshenko pledged to work with Russia to end "war, chaos and disorder," while the White House said in a statement that "the U.S. looks forward to working with the next President."
Russian assets have been rallying as international sanctions bypassed the country's major companies and banks and Putin didn't send troops into eastern Ukraine where pro-Russian separatists this month declared independence.
The ruble strengthened 4.3 percent in May to 34.1825 per dollar today, the best performance among more than 170 currencies tracked by Bloomberg. That's brought the appreciation since Putin's incursion into Crimea on March 1 to 4.7 percent. The yield on benchmark local-currency bonds due February 2027 fell four basis points to 8.74 percent today, giving it a 73 basis-point drop this month. The rate stood at 8.36 percent on Feb. 28.
Poroshenko's election victory is "quite positive for the Ukrainian investment case," according to Ovanes Oganisyan, a strategist at MidLincoln Research in Moscow. "In Russian bonds there was a move already, but Russia will also be in a much better spot. There is reason to be slightly more optimistic."

There are a ton of Dia de los Muertos festivals in the Los Angeles area; one of the largest is held annually at Olvera Street and it is a wonderful cultural and spiritual experience.
In honor of Dia del los Muertos and all that leftover Halloween candy we're sure many of you have sitting in your candy dish, here are a few versions of chocolate candy bark. If you've eaten one too many pieces of candy corn and are looking for something new to indulge in, then this is definitely a sweet solution for you.
So why chocolate bark and not pan de muerto? In all honesty, I still need to work on my bread making skills, however, I still wanted to mark this holiday since it is a significant celebration in the Mexican culture. Although this is not a traditional Mexican recipe, there are things you can add to the chocolate in order to spice it up and give it a Mexican vibe, like pinch or two of cayenne pepper and some cinnamon.
Once your chocolate base is melted and flavored if you choose, top it off with some of your favorite leftover candy.
I used Reese's Pieces, Kit Kats and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I also added in some pretzels { I love the salty/sweet combo } and some dried cranberries for a bit of tangy fruity goodness.
Get creative! {FYI: For those of you in the LA/OC area...there is fantastic Dia De Los Muertos festival in Santa Ana this Saturday, November 5th! }

Configure the SAN Policy
Published: October 22, 2009
Updated: October 22, 2009
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2
Note |
This content applies to Windows 7. For Windows 8 content, see Windows Deployment with the Windows ADK. |
The functionality of Storage Area Network (SAN) enables a server to mount disks and other storage devices automatically from other computers.
By configuring the SAN policy on a Windows® image, you can control whether or not disks are automatically mounted, which disks can be mounted, and you can disable automatically mounting disks.
Configure the SAN policy on Windows PE
For Windows PE images that are available in the Windows OPK and the Windows AIK, the default SAN policy is to mount available disks automatically. This might reduce the performance of Windows PE if there are many available disks in the SAN environment.
You can use the setsanpolicy.cmd
file in the Windows PE tools path to configure the default SAN policies on a Windows PE image.
Mount the Windows PE image to an available mount point. For example,
imagex /mountrw C:\winpe_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim 1 C:\winpe_x86\mount
Run the setsanpolicy command. For example,
setsanpolicy.cmd <image path> <Policy number>
<image path>
is the path to a mounted Windows PE image and<policy number>
is the SAN policy number. You can use the following values for<policy number>
For example, you can configure the SAN policy on a Windows PE image to mount all disks except those disks on a shared bus. For example,SAN policy number Description 1
Mounts all available storage devices.
This is the default value.
Mounts all storage devices except those on a shared bus.
Does not mount storage devices.
setsanpolicy C:\winpe_x86\mount 2
Unmount the image and commit the changes. For example,
imagex /unmount C:\winpe_x86\mount /commit
Configure the SAN policy on a Windows Image During Unattended Installation
You can change the default SAN policy of a Windows image by using the Microsoft-Windows-PartitionManager component. The SanPolicy setting is used to configure the Windows image during installation.
For more information, see the Unattended Windows Setup Reference.

A Website for Adults ...Married Adults that is
Brought to you by Jim Lewis
FrappyDoo! Forums
About Us Legal
Married Adults.com was originally the website for a married adult Sunday School class at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. Most of the young married men in this class were computer geeks, so a committee was put together to develop a site. After about six months, most of the geeks lost interest. That is to say, all but one–Jim Lewis–me. I asked the rest of the group if I could hang on to the domain name, and they said yes.
So, who is Jim Lewis? I am the worst of all kinds of computer geeks. I am also an insurance geek. I am one of the owners of Maximum Corporation (MaxCorp). I serve as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for its insurance company subsidiaries.
My background is computers. I have a B.S. in Computer Science from Baylor University. I've been a computer programmer, PC manager, computer salesman, and computer repairman. I've used computers since 1982 when my father bought a TRS80 Model 16. I currently own an IBM T40p and two AS/400s (through MaxCorp).
I am also a frustrated writer and mediocre website designer. To satisfy my thirst for writing, I write the content for FindaLink.net, JamesGLewis.com, and MarriedAdults.com. To satisfy my thirst for website design, I hired a professional who will redesign all of my sites sometime in 2004.
All of that is what I do. Who I am is more important. First and foremost, I am a Christian. My passion is discipleship. Discipleship is basically teaching people how to live a balanced Christian life. Read more about it in our Pizza and a Movie section.
My wife and I have been married since 1994. The Grocery Money section of Married Adults.com reflects our philosophy on handling finances.
We have one daughter. Hence, the Kids section of Married Adults.com.
To learn more about me, you need to visit my sites and read, read, read.

1. Smurf Collapse: All character animation for the outermost ring of Smurfs, the main domino-effect Smurfs including the ones knocking each other into the water.
2. Look Out for the Hole: All character animation. This was also part of a sequence where I created several iterations in layout for the animation director and film director to pick from because the specific way for the action to play out had not yet been determined when I arrived on the project.
3. Not This Time, Gargamel: Received shot as WIP from an outgoing animator, heavily reworked virtually all aspects of the shot to bring it to completion.
4. Smurfs Fly Into the Void: All character animation.
5. Heroic Brother (two clips): All character animation.
6. We Need a Name: All character and chair animation.
7. Bucky, the Mice are Idiots (two clips): All character animation.
8. Mime with Hat in Hand: All character animation, set, camera, textures, character adornments and props. This was from my final short film project at Animation Mentor, and won the Student Choice Award for Best Silent Acting.
9. Phone Booth Hero (five-shot sequence): All character and prop animation, sets, costumes, cameras.
10. Gas in My Ride: All character and vehicle animation.
Maya was used for all animation on this reel.

There was a time when cutting rough diamonds was a rudimentary and very slow process of polishing a few strategic facets just to give the diamond a little flash and capture a little fire. Even the earliest cut and polished diamonds were pretty.
But today, modern technology has give us tools to do amazing things in transforming rough diamonds into polished diamonds, maximizing the fire, brilliance and scintillation of this remarkable form of crystalized carbon. And state-of-the-art light ray tracing computer software is enabling new diamond designs to be created, some of which have hundreds of facets!
Today laser technology plays a big role in diamond cutting. Precision measuring instruments using laser technology are used to measure every facet of the diamond during its crafting. Lasers are also used to do some of the initial sawing of the rough, separating distinct facetable pieces, each to be turned into a finished diamond, and thereby utilizing the material for maximum yield.
And advances in faceting and polishing machinery that reduce vibration and deviations allow for more precise control of angles and alignment of facets. These capabilities enable the most skilled and dedicated cutters to produce ideal and super ideal diamonds, taking diamond light performance to the extreme.
But in some ways, the process is the same. First the rough must be planned. Master diamond cutters are involved at this crucial stage. They must be able assess color and clarity, which is very tricky in a piece of rough which typically has a "skin" on the outside of it. The planner must take several crucial things into account including the potential of the rough to produce a variety of shapes and sizes along with market factors in order to be able to plan a combination that will maximize value. His calculations at this stage are crucial to the eventual profitability of the polished diamonds.
Once the planning is done, sawing is usually the next step. From there each piece is ground into its basic diamond shape. Then, main facets are cut into the diamond. Careful measurements are made during this process to make sure the diamond is still on plan. At each stage the process is subtractive. That is, once you grind or polish some diamond away, you cannot put it back on! If you make a mistake, you will have a poorly cut diamond or you will have to cut it down in size even further to correct the mistake. Even small mistakes are extremely costly.
Finally, the full complement of facets is cut and each one is polished to a mirror finish. The whole process can take days, weeks or even months. Large and important stones are sometimes held in the planning stage for extended periods as the decisions on the proper approach are so critical and there is so much uncertainty with some rough diamonds. Diamonds that are planned for the finest cut quality, such as A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows Super Ideals, require much more time, effort and skill because the level of precision required is extreme.
We naturally admire fine polished diamonds for their fire, brilliance and sparkle. With a full understanding the skill and craftsmanship that goes into transforming them from the rough, they are even more extraordinary and precious.

Is there any way the database engine can be tuned so that 2005 use Hash Join by default? Regards Hari
You should drop the concatenation in the WHERE clause of the subquery, and just use AND. Any type of function that you apply to a column means that any index on that column will be ignored. select t.subcategory_id, t.subsubcategory, t.cat_code_3 from #tmpsubsubcategory t where t.subcategory_id not in (select x.subcategory_id from stage.stg_sub_subcategory x WHERE x.cat_code_3 = t.cat_code_3) Or as a NOT EXISTS subquery: where NOT EXISTS (select x.* from stage.stg_sub_subcategory x WHERE t.subcategory_id = x.subcategory_id AND t.cat_code_3 = x.cat_code_3)
Thanks for the reply! The problem here is that this is not the only query; this is just a sample from our database. We are expecting same performance as that of 2000 or even better. But after migrating we are getting this issues. We are looking for a solution like making some changes in the DB setting or some Service Pack which will resolve the issue. Thanks Hari
Use hint in query to use Hash joins. However, hint usage is not recommended but if it improves performance than use it and change the code in future to avert troubles while migrating to future versions. I preassumed you have done Reindexing, Update statictics with full scan etc. after upgrading to 2005.
THere were few issues reported regarding performance degradation due to inefficient query plan in 2005 with compare to 2000. This was because of the architectural change like Statement level compilation. You may need to re-write the query or you may use Plan Forcing . SQL Server 2005 introduces the USE PLAN query hint. USE PLAN can be used to force the query optimizer to use a specified query plan for a query. read about this feature in BOL. Madhu
You can throw any higher-level approach at it, but that still leaves the problem of poor use of T-SQL syntax. The problem in this specific query is caused by the use of concatenation, which makes it clear that the original developer(s) knew about subqueries, but not about correlated subqueries. [EDIT] Plus the concatenation means that you could get mismatches ... "ABC" can be a concatenation of "A" and "BC", or of "AB" and "C", or of "ABC" and an empty string, or of an empty string and "ABC" - you can't tell from "ABC" alone. What else did the developer(s) not know about? Time to do a performance audit as outlined in one of the articles on this site - which in fact should be mandatory reading for any developer, since it explains so well how T-SQL syntax, data structure, indexes, and even hardware (should) interact.
Hi Hari, You didn't tell us how you upgraded but I suggest you run sp_updatestats to update all the statistics in the database. Or run UPDATE STATISTICS on all tables in the database if you want to specify a SAMPLE rate other than default. HTH! /Elisabeth
[quote user="Elisabeth Redei"] suggest you run sp_updatestats to update all the statistics in the database[/quote] Also, Make sure the indeces are rebuilt.
"THere were few issues reported regarding performance degradation due to inefficient query plan in 2005 with compare to 2000. This was because of the architectural change like Statement level compilation." I thought Statement Level recompilation was good introduction in SQL Server 2005. That apart There may be on major architectural difference in costing between Non Clustered and Clustered index. In SQL Server 2000 Non Clustered Index was chosen over Clustered index that sometimes caused Random Reads due to bookmark lookups. But costing calculation did not take into account randomness of IO thus cost as low though not appropriate. Coming to this problem: * First there are not indexes because every thing is Table Scan and updating statistics would only help if there are any autostats created. * Even if there are indexes they may not be used because correct data types are not being compared. That is why both SQL Server 2000 and SQL SErver 2005 are doing converts. SQL Server 2005 helps by specifying Convert_Implicit i.e SQL Server is forced to Convert due to mismatch of data types. * Create / Updated appropriate statistics and indexes for appropriate databases.
Call me stubborn but the original query is still so wrong that rebuilding indexes or updating statistics will not make as much of a difference as a rewriting of the query. OP Hari mentioned that this was not the only query, but taken as an indication of the quality of the work done by the developer(s) they should really review the system. The concatenation technique is dangerous in that it allows false matches, so the query is not dependable. How many more queries like that? How many before the system is no longer considered trustworthy?

Wonderful—everything from adorableness (what a smile on that duck!) to color all of it is just so purely fun! Your color is amazing! I can't seem to capture the vibrancy the way you do. It's so joyful.
And you win, hands down, the most inspiring comment award! Thank you for such lovely words! Yikes, not only does it mean so much especially from a talented artist but you make me want to keep pushing, raising the bar of what I can do and keep the wonder and, as you say, "magic." Some days it's hard to see the magic and some days I'm ready to stop, so many thanks seeing the joy (and commenting)! Thank you! By the way, love, love your blog. You have a great eye not only with your work, but in celebrating the work of others.

This page is meant to be used in conjunction with the Property Data Index.
If a handbook is arranged by property, search the index first, then the table of contents. Some handbooks are arranged so that each chapter or section is devoted to a specific property, related group of properties, or a subject. There is usually an index in the back of the volume or separate index volume at the end of the set if the handbook is muli-volumed. The index may include either the properties or the compounds or both. The most common form of index has the properties listed in alphabetical order and the compounds or groups of compounds that have property information available are indented under the property. The table of contents may help determine where a specific property is located within the volume. An example of a handbook arranged by property is the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (QD65 .H3 Science Reference). |
TIP #2 | If a handbook
is arranged by the chemical name, search by using one or more of the indexes. Other handbooks have the content listed alphabetically by the chemical name. Under each name is the property information. There are usually indexes for names, CAS registry numbers and molecular formulas at the back of the volume, or, for multi-volume works, in a separate index volume at the end of the set. An example of a handbook arranged by chemical name is the Merck Index (RS51 .M4 1996 Science Reserve). There is no way to search by the property name in these types of handbooks. |
TIP #3 | If using
an electronic database, search first by the CAS registry number (if available)
or use the common name of the chemical. Databases are usually searchable by name, CAS registry number and molecular formula. Some databases are searchable by the property name. Most databases require searching the complete name, registry number or molecular formula; a few may permit truncation (sometimes called "wildcards") or allow browsing (being able to see all the names, etc. in alphabetical order). Browsing is very helpful if the exact spelling of the name is unknown. Databases are similar to handbooks that arrange information under the chemical name, so searching is usually done by the chemical name not the property name. An example of a chemical database is http://www.chemfinder.com. |
Search all synonyms of the property in each handbook/database. A property may have several names and some handbooks do not list all the variant names in their indexes or within the information part of an entry. There is no way to know ahead of time which name or names will be used in a handbook. Examples of synonyms:
If the handbook is arranged by the properties, search all synonyms of the property in the index. If the handbook has little or no indexing, the Table of Contents can be browsed for the property name(s). For handbooks that arrange the information in alphabetical order by the chemical name, look for all synonyms of the property in the information part of the entry for that chemical.
Some dictionaries that may be helpful in finding the synonyms are
listed below.
TIP #5 | Search the
subject area as well as the property name. Can't find the property by its name? Try looking under the subject. For example:
If the handbook is arranged by the properties, look up the subject in the index; if there is little or no indexing, the Table of Contents can be browsed for that subject. For handbooks that are arranged in alphabetical order by chemical name, see if the information part of the entry is divided into subject sections.
Some dictionaries that may list the subject of the term are given
TIP #6 | Know what symbol
and/or unit of measurement is used for the property. Some handbooks and databases have the data tables or information part of the entries labelled by the symbol and/or units of the property rather than the name of the property. Sometimes these symbols are explained at the top or bottom of tables, at the front of that chapter or section, in an introductory section of the book, or on a separate help page or section of a database. Some dictionaries may list symbols and/or units. Chapter 2 of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (QD65 .H3 Science Reference) also has symbols arranged by subject.
The 109+ elements are the "building blocks" of chemicals. The elements are usually displayed in a periodic table that links elements with similar characteristics in vertical and horizontal rows. Each element has a one or two letter symbol; one letter symbols are always in upper case (ex. K, P, S); two letter symbols are always written with the first letter in upper case and the second letter in lower case (ex. Ar, Co, Na) . Many symbols are derived from foreign languages so the element symbol and the English name do not always match (ex. the symbol for silver is Ag from the Latin "argentum").
Chemical elements combine together to form chemical compounds. There are over 27 million
substances identified by Chemical Abstracts Service. (See the latest substance count) But its not
just the sheer volume of possible compounds that makes chemistry so challenging, it's also
the various ways in which these chemical compounds can be identified. The four ways are:
molecular forumula, structure diagrams,
names, and registry numbers.
TIP #7 | Molecular
Formulas: Know when and how to alphabetize.
Molecular formulas describe what elements, and how many of each, make up a compound. Because the formula only accounts for what elements are present and not how those elements are arranged, it is possible for more than one compound (in some cases, hundreds!) to have the same formula. Almost all chemistry handbooks and databases provide an index by molecular formula; however most non-chemistry handbooks/databases do not. How a molecular formula is written and how it appears in an index depends upon the type of compound.
Searching molecular formulas in databases can be tricky.
TIP #8 | Structures:
Novices should convert structure diagrams into molecular formulas.
Because molecular formulas may not be unique, structure diagrams are used to identify specific compounds. The diagrams show not only what elements are present, but how they are arranged and connected. Structure diagrams may be written in a line or displayed in 2- or 3-dimensional graphics. Examples of structure diagrams:
Some databases contain structure drawing programs that allow for searching by structure.
Because each program may have it's own set of rules and because structure diagrams can be
draw in various ways, it is not always obvious how to draw a structure so that it will be
correctly interpreted by the database. For those without training in structure drawing, it may
be more beneficial (and time economical) to translate the structure into a molecular
formula and search by the formula.
TIP #9 | Chemical
Names: Be familiar with the different types, where each type is used and
how it is indexed.
Chemical compounds are most often identified by name; unfortunately, each compound may have many different names. Most handbooks and databases provide access by several names for each compound but each resource may not index all the variant names. There is no way to tell a head of time which name(s) will be used. Names for chemicals are grouped into 3 categories: tradenames, common names (also called generic or trivial names) and chemical (scientific) names.
Tradenames are given to specific products by a manufacturer and appear on the packaging and
advertisement for that product. They are usually simple (one or two syllables) so they can be
easily remembered, may convey their purpose (ex., "Allegra" is a medication used to control
allergy symptoms), and/or may be followed by a number that seems to indicate a specific
formulation. Tradenames sometimes can be difficult to distinguish from
common names. Tradenames are indexed in handbooks or databases as follows:
Common names, sometimes called generic or trivial names are usually the best way to locate
compounds. These names are generally short and almost every resource indexes them.
The chemical or scientific name is designed to convey the exact structure of the compound in an
unambiguous manner. It is not uncommon for inorganic compounds, which are relatively simple
structures, to have chemical and common names that are the same. Many organic compounds,
however, are big and complicated strutures and their names follow suit. Naming conventions for
organic compounds have changed throughout the years and an "official" set of nomenclature rules
was not universaly adopted until the last half of the 20th century. Consequently, a compound
with a complex structure can have several "scientific" names.
The association that produces the official nomenclature rules is the International Union of
Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), for the purposes of
producing Chemical Abstracts (CA), has a naming system that is based on IUPAC so the
CA names are usually similar, if not identical. Some recent chemistry resources list the
CAS name as the "official name". If the "official name" is followed by (XCI) were "X" is a
number from 1-13, then this is the CAS name -- the CI designation indicates what Collective
Index period of Chemical Abstracts that version of the name was first used. For example, (9CI)
indicates that the name was first used during the 9th Collective Index period which is
Complex chemical names are filed by two different methods, direct order and inverted order. The
inverted method is used by Chemical Abstracts and in Chapter 3 (Organic Chemistry) of the CRC
Handbook of Chemistry and Physics; this method has the advantage of arranging compounds in a
heirarchical, structure-based order. The direct method (used by IUPAC) is found in many
handbooks and databases. Except for Chemical Abstracts and Chapter 3 of the CRC, expect to
find the names indexed in direct order but be prepared to use the inverted version if the
handbook/database appears to index by that method. Compare these lists of the same 9
Note that in both cases, the names are filed alphabetically by the name segments. The
alpha-numeric characters (arabic numerals, roman letters, or greek letters) are ignored in the
filing unless needed to differentiate two exact name segments/words. For example, see how
the dimethylpyridine and the methylpyridine compounds are handled in both lists.
TIP #10 | Registry
Numbers: Searching a Number is Much Easier Than Searching a Complex Chemical
Name or a Molecular Formula.
There are many chemcial registries that exist, mainly for toxicological/hazard reporting to governmental agencies. The most prominent of these registries is the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry. Most recent chemical handbooks and databases index CAS registry numbers.
A CAS registry number is assigned to each specific chemical compound that appears in the chemical literature or as requested by chemical manufacturers to comply with regulatory procedures. Each number always has 3 segments separated by hyphens. The first segment consists of 2 or more numbers which are assigned more or less sequentially; a lower number indicates the compound was registered towards the begininng (1965) and a higher number is more recent. The second segment always is composed of 2 numbers and the third segment is always composed of one number. CAS has a formula to determine if a registry number is plausible, see: Check Digit Verification of CAS Registry Numbers at http://www.cas.org/EO/checkdig.html. Sometimes CAS registry numbers are followed by P, D, DP or *.
Because a number is easier and less time consuming to search in an index than a long list of variant names or a complex chemical name, use CAS registry numbers to search more efficiently. CAS registry numbers are found in many chemistry resources including Chapters 3 (Organic Compounds) and 4 (Inorganic Compounds) of the CRC Handbook and Chemical Abstracts. There are two caveats when using registry numbers for searching purposes. Sometimes Chemical Abstracts Service changes the registry number - handbooks and databases do not always record these changes. Also, numbers are easily misinterpreted - they could be copied wrong, have numbers transposed, or be written illegibly (1 mistaken for 7, 9 mistaken for 4, etc.). Always be prepared to back up a search by registry number with a search by name or molecular formula. |

Lot 101B: Senufo Painted Wood Female Divination Figure
Ancient / Ethnographic From Around The World
by Artemis Gallery
27 October 2016
Louisville, CO, USA
Live Auction
West Africa, Burkina Faso, Senufo, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A wooden female divination figure from the Senufo peoples from Burkina Faso rather than the Ivory Coast. The piece is skillfully carved with characteristic features including a crescent-shaped coiffure, large coffee bean shaped eyes, long pointed nose, grand cup-shaped ears, stylized mitten-shaped hands and paddle-shaped feet, emphasis on her breasts, buttocks, and protruding perhaps pregnant belly. The surface also shows incised striations on her face and breasts to delineate scarification marks as well as detailing on the coiffure. Remains of red pigment also adorn the figure. This lovely female figure most likely belonged to a male-female pair symbolizing the primordial couple, and would have been kept with her other half in a shrine. The powerful primordial couple would have been taken out for funeral processions, to honor the deceased as they entered the spiritual realm.Custom metal square stand. Size: figure measures 3.25" W x 10.75" H (8.3 cm x 27.3 cm); 11" (27.9 cm) with stand.
In her discussion of the cultural context of Senufo statuary at the occasion of the exhibition Genesis: Ideas of Origin in African Sculpture at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, LaGamma (2002: 30 et seq.) explains: "According to the Senufo account of genesis, Kolotyolo, the creator, gave life to the first man and woman, who became the first human couple. The woman conceived and gave birth to twins, a girl and a boy. [...] The ideal of human male-female duality [...] also informs Senufo conceptions of the divine, especially the bipartite deity that is central to Senufo religious belief. Kolotyolo, the male aspect of divinity responsible for creation and 'bringing us forth,' is a benevolent but relatively remote presence who is balanced by a more accessible female dimension known as Katyeleeo, or Ancient Mother. She is a divine protectress responsive to the needs of the community. Within Senufo society, an optimal relationship with this divinity and the ancestors is assured through Poro, an initiation-based organization whose teachings also prepare members for responsible and enlightened leadership. Participation in Poro is universal among Senufo males, who safeguard their community's social and political welfare by making frequent sacrifices to the ancestors - conceived as past children of Ancient Mother - so that they may intercede on behalf of her current, living children.

"For of those to whom much is given, much is required."
- President John F. Kennedy
Last night Keith and I took a private car service into Manhattan to watch the New York Rangers play the Los Angeles Kings in the fourth game of the Stanley Cup Finals. Clearly, given such an experience, there is no doubt we are among the fortunate in this fine nation.
While most of you that are reading this have worked hard to achieve your position, we have all also received a helping hand along the way. That helping hand may have been from a mentor, from a coach, or just being born somewhat lucky. But, regardless, we all now have the opportunity to give back.
In the spirit of #PayingItForward, Hedgeye has formed a non-for-profit called Hedgeye Cares, which will be dedicated to giving back to charities in Connecticut. Our inaugural event will be the 2014 Hedgeye Cares Golf Challenge to be held on September 16th at the Great River Golf Club in Milford, CT. The proceeds from this event will go to Bridgeport Caribe Youth Leaders (BCYL).
BCYL is non-profit based in Bridgeport, CT, one of the more economically disadvantaged cities in Connecticut, and provides athletic and enhanced educational opportunities to youths aged 5 to 18 to whom much has not been given. Currently, the program provides opportunities for some 500 kids in the Bridgeport area and we will be focused on expanding that number.
We hope you will consider joining us for a golf outing on September 16th and if you aren't a golfer and or cannot make the event, we hope that you will consider sponsorship or auction donations and join us in #PayingItForward. Details can be found here.
Back to the Global Macro Grind...
Speaking of giving, the Kings actually gave the Rangers a fighting chance last night by losing 2 -1, so the Stanley Cup Finals return to the City of Angels this Friday. On some level, the Rangers have already exceeded expectations by winning last night. Specifically, of the 320 NBA, MLB or NHL teams that have found themselves up 3 – 0 in a seven game series, 65% have gone on to win the next game and close out the series.
In terms of coming back and winning the entire series from a 3 – 0 deficit, it has only happened four times in 171 opportunities in the NHL. For you math geeks, that equates to right around a 2.3% chance of overcoming a three game deficit. So is a comeback probable? No. But as they say, hope springs eternal.
Speaking of probabilities, as equity investors we can be pretty sure that volatility on the SP500, as measured by the VIX, won't stay below 11 for long. Pull back a long term chart of the VIX on your Bloomberg this morning and you will see what we mean. The last time the VIX hit this level was actually January of 2007. Thereafter, volatility made a steady climb before peaking in October 2008 at ~60.
So as investors, feel free to bet that VIX will go lower from here, but practically that is about as likely as Iran, Honduras, or Costa Rica winning the World Cup. According to Oddshark.com, the odds on that are more than 1500 – 1. Math doesn't always work, just ask California Chrome, but over time life is much simpler when we play the odds.
Speaking of odds, the likelihood is high that many of us wouldn't have bet on a Eurozone Industrial production number that came in well ahead of expectations this morning. According to my colleague Ben Ryan:
"Industrial Production printed much stronger than expected (five-month high) for April with strength in energy and non-durable goods production which increased +2.5% and +2.1% respectively. Month-over-month, seasonally-adjusted industrial production increased +0.8%, beating expectations of +0.5%. Note that March was downwardly revised to -0.4%, so April's increase follows a pretty bad number."
Following a bad number or not, that is the kind of number that we macro analysts underline with a big green highlighter (green being bullish) in our notebooks.
Even as European data continues to get better on the margin, we remain cautious, to say the least at current VIX levels, on the U.S. economy. In the Chart of the Day, we've highlighted our U.S. GDP summary table going back two years to March 2012.
The key takeaway from this table is that healthcare spending was critical in supporting GDP in the 1st quarter. With the census bureau's release of the 1Q14 QSS survey yesterday, that estimate of healthcare spending saw a sharp negative reversal.
According to my colleague Christian Drake:
Services consumption was the singular source of strength in the 1Q14 GDP report and most of that was from Healthcare Services which contributed +1.01% to GDP – that estimate of accelerating healthcare consumption just got revised to negative growth which will take the final GDP estimate for 1Q down to -2.0% plus or minus.
The net-net of this is that the final estimate of 1Q GDP (June 25th) will be (even more) dismal and GDP is likely to miss the ever bullish consensus expectations for full year 2014. When combined with increasing uncertainty in the 2014 mid-term elections, see Eric Cantor, we may just have an opportunity for you equity bears to #PayItForward in the coming months.
Our immediate-term Global Macro Risk Ranges are now:
UST 10yr Yield 2.44%-2.67%

Pawning UnionPay out of the casinos
There has been a lot of speculation that the Macau Government wants UnionPay retail outlets off the casino floors. When the UnionPay issue surfaced last month we had heard that a couple of casinos moved those shops in to lobby and mall areas. Recently, Bloomberg reported that the Macau Monetary Authority (MMA) actually notified the shops individually that they need to move by July 1st. The only confirmation of this came from SJM CEO, Ambrose this week.
As you can see from the following chart, most of the big casinos maintained UnionPay retail outlets on their casino floors with the exception of Wynn Macau and MGM. SJM's Grand Lisboa apparently removed the UnionPay logos from pawn shops located on the casino floor. It should be noted that Grand Lisboa offers a number of UnionPay options all around the casino. This should be the model going forward.
Aside from the minor inconvenience, there shouldn't be a major impact to the casinos' GGR should the pawn shops be forced off the casino floor. Wynn Macau and MGM should experience no impact, presumably. Plenty of UnionPay options will remain and unless the MMA forces UnionPay completely out of the buildings, we see little sustainable impact from the rumored restrictions. We believe the likelihood of a UnionPay ban altogether as very unlikely.
We recently added DFRG to the Hedgeye Best Ideas list as a SHORT.
We're hosting a conference call TODAY at 11am EST to run through our thesis and field questions.
DFRG is a high-conviction short given slowing trends, concerns over the core business, rising commodity costs, positive sentiment, valuation, and more. Our sum-of-the-parts analysis suggests significant downside.
DFRG develops, owns and operates three fine dining restaurants: Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House, Sullivan's Steakhouse, and Del Frisco's Grille. The full-service steakhouse company currently operates 40 restaurants in 20 states and primarily caters to the high end consumer. The stock is up ~45% over the last 6 months.

"Visual polish frequently doesn't matter if you are getting the story right."
-Ed Catmull (President of Pixar)
While it's month-end-no-volume-markup time here in the US equity market, no matter where you go – and no matter how you have been positioned for the last 5 months, here we are. The score doesn't lie; consensus expectations for #RatesRising in 2014 does.
Sure, there's a polish to the reports and a gravitas to once great names in finance that still remain on their doors. But, to be clear, there is no responsibility in recommendation from the Old Wall anymore. Instead, every time they are wrong, "it's different this time."
The right story in 2014 has been to be long slow-growth bonds and/or anything that looks like a bond (Utilities +11.5% YTD). The 10yr US Treasury yield has crashed to a fresh YTD low of 2.42% this morning. US Growth (Russell 2000) and US Consumer (XLY) stocks are down over -2% YTD. And, depending on what piece of inflation you are long (food and/or energy) you're up +8-22% YTD.
Back to the Global Macro Grind…
Yes, I hate losing. But I really hate it when people who are losing (including any of my teammates) try to say they really aren't. This is a confirmation bias embedded in a society where no one is actually allowed to fail. Every lazy player in the league gets a trophy.
Instead of acknowledging what no Old Wall firm called (for US GDP Growth to be NEGATIVE) in Q114, all I hear are excuses instead of the most obvious call they don't want to make – bond yields fall (and the yield curve compresses) when growth is slowing.
Sure, I have my own biases on leadership in action, transparency in process, and accountability in recommendation. And I am fully aware that on mornings like this that I can sound like the prickly coach. That's who I am.
But who you or I are as flawed human beings doesn't change the score. As the great Bobby Orr once said:
"Forget about style; worry about results."
Having worn a black silk dress shirt and a mauve screaming eagle tie to work on my first day on Wall Street, I'd be hard pressed to convince you that my style has been consensus over the years. What I really care about is #process.
Our #process has now signaled the biggest "surprises" to both the upside (2013) and downside (2014) in US Yields, and I'm not going to apologize for it. Unlike most macro research I used to pay for when I was in your seat, our #process goes both ways.
*Note: our process takes a full team effort – here's what our Senior US macroeconomic analyst, Christian Drake, had to say about the 10yr bond yield crashing (-20% YTD) to 2.42% this morning:
"The pro-growth panglossian contingent can take solace in the fact that after today's negative GDP print, it can only really get better sequentially. Q114 GDP probably wasn't as bad as the headline and Q214 won't be as good."
"Taking the average of the two quarters is the easiest smoothing adjustment and it will show we're a high 1% economy – which is about right. #Hedgeye – we came here to drink the milk, not count the cows."
It's a 1-2% (at best), not a 3-4% US economy. And that's why the 10yr is going closer to 2%, not 3%. Roger that, Dr. Drake.
Yes, I have fostered a culture of confidence. I don't know one successful athlete who wakes up every morning not wanting to crush his or her competition. I'm not going to apologize for being that way either.
This is America – a country that I came to in the early 1990s when being a winner mattered more than being the whiner who wanted my winnings. We stand alongside you every day, committed to excellence. We refuse to accept mediocrity in big macro forecasting.
There is no I in Hedgeye and we reiterate our top non-groupthink Global Macro Themes for 2014 to-date:

Entry #15
Hey everyone!
Long time no post. First things first, Myosotis Chapter 4 is finally out: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/638132
It's been finished for some time, but I had to wait to launch it for reasons beyond my control. Special thanks yet again to Hania for the wonderful music.
I'll make a lengthier post about it, but PAX East was fun. Although this year more than any other, I didn't spend a ton of time at PAX itself. Mostly wandered around the city. I found the expo hall a little confusing to navigate this year. You'd think the giant Evolve monster would have been a good landmark, but alas. Highlight of the con was probably when I got a little too drunk at a GiantBomb bar meetup and I ended up saying god knows what to Jeff and Patrick.
I also had a great time catching up with Noah aka Lefthandedsock at the Adult Swim booth. I tried to swing by Behemoth to say hi to Tom, but I didn't see him and unfortunately I couldn't stick around for long because panel times were kind of a mess this year.
Speaking of Newgrounds, I'm incredibly bummed, that like always, I can't make it to Pico Day this year. Although I suppose not being able to go this year is better than previous years because my reason is less shitty. I need to save my funds for a trip to LA for business-y meetings related to writing and filmy stuff. So that is one positive way to look at it. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bummed. But I mean...my bffs NegativeONE and Swain aren't going to be there this year either, so what's the gosh darn point, am I right?
I know I posted this in a previous news post, but I'm going to post it again because I still want to make the damn thing. I'm just trying to sort out funding because this project is beyond my abilities as a coder.
SMUG HD from on .
Anyways, that's pretty much all I got for now. How are all of you doing? I hope you're having a great year so far.

Are you going to create a Alice is Dead part 4? I love the series, and I'd hate to see it just end, and there is still a load of questions that need answering!!!

Making fun of the already frivolous seems a particularly profligate pastime, but it's surely a profitable one; look, only if you must, at Scary Movie, which made considerable green by proving there are indeed still people awed by light-projected moving pictures. Those who subject us to such movies (parodies of parodies, which seems such an astonishingly moot point) aren't filmmakers, but smug con artists who don't entertain and instead rely on our own knowledge of vapid pop culture to do the work for them. We're so familiar with these archetypes -- "The Pretty Ugly Girl," "The Popular Jock," "The Obsessed Best Friend," "The Cruelest Girl," and so forth, as laid out in the press notes -- that the filmmakers need do nothing more than drop them into high school set pieces.
Not Another Teen Movie, set at John Hughes High (stop, yer killin' me), is just another teen movie that swipes its central story line from, among so many others, She's All That and Whatever It Takes -- one good-looking guy (Eric Christian Olsen, generic as a bar code) bets another (Chris Evans, Freddie Prinze Jr. Jr.) he can't transform the beautiful-behind-glasses ugly-duckling outcast (Chyler Leigh, star of Kickboxing Academy) into prom queen -- and tries to divert your attention by upping the gross-out factor that made mad millions for the Farrellys and the American Pie franchise-owners. Throw in put-down send-ups of everything from Never Been Kissed to American Beauty to American Pie to Fast Times at Ridgemont High to, well, damn near any movie showing on TNT right now, and the result is a crass, dim-witted affair that culminates in a sad Molly Ringwald cameo. Seventeen years after she blew out her Sixteen Candles, Hughes's poster girl for the alienated teen has been rendered pathetic punch line in a film that shits on her best work.
The teen-film genre has already been reduced to parody: Whatever It Takes rehashed She's All That's plot (and stars, more or less) and commingled it with Valley Girl and It's a Wonderful Life; and what was American Pie, if not the Hughes oeuvre baked into a fuckable crust? Not Another Teen Movie's idea of clever is just adding another pie (for Randy Quaid, the poor bastard), covering an entire classroom in diarrhea, and making the foreign exchange student (Areola, "played" by Cerina Vincent) run around nude the entire time. So, yeah, it's another teen movie, all right -- the worst one ever made, which may just be the point if it's the last one ever made.

Geekli.st rolls out of beta, launching to the public with a new job postings service
- 0
We first brought you news on Geekli.st last August, while it was still in pre-launch mode – and today, well, it launches out of beta with a new job postings feature.
Just to recap, Geekli.st is a community developed by programmers, for programmers, that helps coders rack up street cred, or "GeekCred". It also allows you to add technical-focused accomplishments to share with others in the community.
"This event was off the charts"
Gary Vaynerchuk was so impressed with TNW Conference 2016 he paused mid-talk to applaud us.
Following our original coverage, we gave out some invites, covered its GitHub integration and took a quick look as it rolled out a robust search option for users to find other like-minded developers who have accomplished pretty amazing things. And 50,000 users ain't bad for a private beta phase, either.
Geekli.st launches to the public today, and it now includes a job postings feature, for geeks to find companies and companies to find geeks. In case you're wondering, the first job posting is for Amazon's stealth R&D center in Irvine, that built Whispersync for Kindle.
Other positions on launch include LA startup Swagsy and Mountain View company Ooyala. Registered companies are matched to developers by skills tagged, number of ^5's and a user's general "GeekCred". When you're matched you'll see:
If someone's interested in a company position, they'll be notified and the company can view the candidate's credentials before entering into an online discussion.
"This is the most significant advancement to date and will be an industry game-changer, as companies not only post jobs but do passive and social outreach to developers in their Verified Company pages," says Reuben Katz CEO and co-founder of Geekli.st. "Yes, we had Verified Company pages long before LinkedIn and ours add real value and provide relevant tools for companies to speak to developers in their own language."
Katz notes that the company already has "tremendous interest" from across Europe, including Skype in London, as well as firms in tech hubs such as Israel, Silicon Valley, New York and elsewhere.
"This is a huge deal for us as a startup," continues Katz. "We are not only providing quality, but we are making money. We charge $249 per post, which is lower than other sites, but we provide fresh, live and relevant candidates in a vibrant community.
"We are now in our third month of generating revenues from things our clients demanded…such as sponsorships and job postings," says Katz.

White Spots in corners of lips09/17/2008 |
I have read the other questions\answers on this website but they do not refer directly to what my question is. I have noticed within the last year very small white spots in the corners of my lips. The other articles refer to the top and bottom lip. They do not hurt or chap or anything like that. I smoke cigarettes and I am curious if this is just something I never noticed before or something worse. Please Explain.
Again, as I preface most of these responses, "without actually seeing what you are describing it is impossible to make a definitive diagnosis". If this is a concern you really need to have it evaluated by your dentist or primary care physician.White spots on the corners of the lips could be "Fordyce granules" or small sebaceous glands, generally they are on the buccal (cheek) mucosa and or on the lips but they can be found on the corners of the lips.
Another possibility is an anatomical variation that generally appears in adults referred to as "commissural pits', the small depression or invaginations occur at the corner of the lips and may become fluid filled (saliva) Squeezing the pit may resemble a pimple draining fluid. Finally, you may have "Angular Chelitis" not necessarily a white spot, but can be a white lesion with associated cracking at the corners of the mouth. This condition is due to a fungal overgrowth (Candida albicans) and in some cases may be painful and or feel like a burn. Another situation that I did not include is the fact that you may have a small fibrotic change as a result of trauma or frequent irritation or chemical exposure.
If you are concerned please have it evaluated

Full text not available from this repository.
Many engineering process require the solution of linear system of the form , where A is a nonsingular real matrix, , and vector is solution of the linear system. There are two methods for solving large scale linear system which are full orthogonalization method (FOM) and Generalized minimal residual (GMRES). GMRES is most popular method to solve large scale linear equations. In this paper, we proven that GMRES preserved the magnitude of approximations solution of linear system.

Kmail stability
I have had the occasional kmail crash under Debian Squeeze however it was rare and easily fixed with:
rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk Code:
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave. This is the version: Package: kmail Source: kdepim (4:126.96.36.199+l10n-3) Version: 4:188.8.131.52+l10n-3+b1 Installed-Size: 28804 Regards, Stefan |
Run it in gdb or some other debugger and file a bug at bugs.kde.org with backtrace.
Do you have a problem if the other-hardly-useful-services are disabled via system settings |
Thanks for the reply. By other services, do you mean nepomuk? Can this be disabled without causing any problems in the kde desktop?
Regards, Stefan |
I've had problems with neopmuk, and I turned it off in system settings -> desktop search, and have had no problems with KDE that I can detect. (with neopmuk running, occasionally it would get locked in a loop and peg one of the processors to 100% forever until killed - since turning it off that has not happened. It is a known bug).
Thanks, I will try that and see if it makes a difference.

Just a follow up - since I have turned off Nepomuk I have not had problems. I have also found that it is a good idea to start kmail before other programs.
