We service and repair garbage disposals of all brands.
Is your garbage disposal not working anymore? Is it clogged, dirty or has an odor?
Garbage disposals are a great way to dispose of food left overs and provide us with a convenient way to clean our dishes.
Unfortunately a lot of people treat the garbage disposal as "jaws of life" and use it for all kinds of disposal purposes. Egg Shells are one of the hardest things on your blades even though they seem so fragile. Running your garbage disposal without water in another way to damage the effectiveness of your garbage disposal and will make build up of grind and dirt even more.
We services all makes and models of garbage disposals from 1/3 horse power the 1 full horse power…If you ever get a bad smell coming from your disposal it is recommended that you grind a lemon in the disposal to eliminate the smells. Also you can grind ice cubes inside of the disposal to help sharpen blades to grind food.
Drain Masters Plumbing can repair or service your garbage disposal for you to make sure it serves you for many more years to come.
Can It Be Repaired Or Is It Time For A New Garbage Disposal?
If your disposal has some age on it or is not sounding the same, it may be time for a major repair or a new disposal altogether. La Mesa, Pacific Beach, La Jolla, El Cajon, Santee, Rancho Bernardo, Encinitas, Carlsbad, or San Marcos and need help with your garbage disposal? Give Drain Masters Plumbing a call. In the meantime, here is how yo may be able to tell if your unit is repairable or if it is time to retire it.
What Can Be Fixed
It can be very disheartening to hearing a loud humming noise instead of the usual spinning sounds of your disposal's blade. However, this situation could in ways be a good thing. Although garbage disposals are built to handle an enormous amount of wear and tear, they can get clogged. When this occurs, the kick-off switch is activated so as to preserve the motor from burn out. Typically, cleaning out the disposal and resetting restores it to normal function.
What Should Not Be Fixed
We have come across disposals that leak water, either at rest or while running. These situations are telling signs of significant part wear within the disposal. In our experience, we find that repairing a unit by replacing parts is not an economically viable solution. First, the parts can be expensive relative to the cost of a new unit. Second, typically if internal parts have worn to the point of replacement, the warranty is usually expired. Consequently, it is easy to understand why most lean towards buying a new garbage disposal.
Sometimes you have time for DIY plumbing projects, sometimes you do not. If you find that you fall into the latter group, give Drain Masters Plumbing a call. Our team fixes small things like garbage disposals and large plumbing system problems. (619) 346-4212

God bless! 🙂

The team members at DRAIN MASTERS PLUMBING were able to diagnose our plumbing problem in an expeditious and timely manner. Repair efforts were dovetailed into our re-construction schedule for our new home which had some unforeseen problems. We appreciate the quick response, good work, fair pricing, and courteous treatment from DRAIN MASTERS PLUMBING in Spring Valley.
We will use DRAIN MASTERS again.

Just received the BEST SERVICE EVER from the friendly members of DRAIN MASTERS PLUMBING. Total damage was at least $200 cheaper from all the other places I called. The service was EXCEPTIONAL from the very helpful and pleasant dispatcher whom I spoke with to the actual service man ( Zeke) who came out to do the repairs. I will definitely be using them again and telling all my friends about this company !! 🙂

Drainmasters was very quick in response to my call (arrived within hours). They were very affordable and the plumber explained everything that needed to be done in simple terms. Overall great experience.
Damon R. Chula Vista
Drain Masters Plumbing was the best experience I have had with a plumber. I was helped by Zeke during a very traumatic time. My toilet riser had malfunctioned and when I awoke the next morning, the bathroom was flooded and my living room was flooded. The responded quick and had the problem resolved within an hour. I appreciated the way they took care of me and I recommend them to everyone with similar issues.
Rachel C. San Diego
I called several plumbing companys for estimates to replace garbage disposal and cable kitchen line. Zeke showed up and gave me free estimates. I chose Drain Musters Plumbing Company, because he arrived on time and explained to me exactly what needed to be done with best price. So I scheduled another appointment to install new disposal. Again he showed up on time and installed new one and cleaned kitchen line. He is very quick, efficient and does great work. I recommed this company for plumbing needs. He said that they are family owned and BBB accredted. Thanks Zeke!.
Richard D. El Cajon
Thank you Drain Master Plumbing! We appreciate the courteous treatment, quick response, great service and affordable fair pricing. The service that your company provided was very professional. Should we ever encounter any plumbing issues in the future, we will be calling Drain Masters! We highly recommend this company for any plumbing needs.
Lisa A. San Diego
Drain Masters is the only one I can trust. He is honest, reliable and professional. I finally found the plumber I have been looking for!
Rebecca E. San Diego
Drain Masters was professional, timely and courteous. Zeke arrived at my house within 30 minutes of calling (on a Saturday) and was able to fix a rather intricate problem that a previous drain company had told me could not be done without literally cutting my pipes! Thank goodness I trusted my instincts and called Drain Masters for a second opinion. Within 45 minutes, the problem was fixed and for less than 1/3 the price the other company had quoted. I highly recommend Drain Masters and will use them again if ever I have another issue.
Kevin G. San Diego
We just used Drainmasters for a camera inspection of our (soon to be short-sale purchase) sewer line as we were worried about possible root-intrusion. Good news is that everything came up clean. Zeke showed up on time and was a complete professional. I'm pretty comfortable performing basic plumbing jobs myself and Zeke was more than happy to walk the property and show me some possible issues. He comes across as very knowledgable, extremely personable, and HONEST. He is also the owner of this small business so he's willing to go the extra mile. I know I will call him again anytime I have something I'm not comfortable doing. This is a good man that deserves your business if you are looking for a plumber.
Jessie M. Spring Valley
i highly recommend drain masters very professional and courteous they were here within 30 mins of calling, great prices plus military discount cant beat it defiantly will recommend & choose drain masters for future plumbing needs
Jennifer T. La Mesa
Zeke is the best! He has been our plumber for the last 3 years. He is fast, honest, & has very competitive pricing! Wouldn't choose any one else!
Mary P. La Mesa, CA
What a great experience! Laundry drain was blocked and 25 minutes after my phone call Zeke appeared at the door. A very knowledgeable, pleasant, efficient and honest guy who fixed my drain in less than an hour. I will definitely use them again if I have any other plumbing needs.
Jason M. San Diego, CA
I have used them repeatedly for so many plumbing issues. I swear no matter the time of day you call zeke, and he is just there. My grandmother owns 3 rentals and 2 of them had eroded pipes, sewer backed up, all in all a complete stress...but zeke and his team of professions do jobs so fast and accurate you'd think I was full of it. He made sure our tenants were able to use there plumbing while the pipes where being replaced, which if you have renters you know you just saved on the hassle and the money of setting them up in a hotel. Zeke is very informative and lets you see the issues at hand. This company is so helpful not with just getting the job done, but helping you, for an example...we had sewer water all underneath one of our rentals do to a busted pipe...he took the initiative and got a hold of a company to depose and clean all of the hazard waste, we didnt have to look in the phone book and call some one up and wait from them to get there, by the time i arrived at the property zeke was there with the people who clean the waste, and got down to work. My grandmother has own these properties for over 50 years, and plumbers before this have been a joke compared to this company, i would NEVER use anyone else then zeke and his team.
Mary W. San Diego, CA
As my last plumber up and moved to Montana I needed to find a new one to unclog a shower drain.. I looked in the BBB phone book and picked Drain Masters who came in January and did a fine job with that. When I recently heard a leak in the other bathroom, I knew whom to call. Drain Masters did a reroute of the hot water pipe which was leaking in the slab. Job was done quickly and professionally. I am totally satisfied and would highly recommend Zeke and his crew if you have plumbing problems.
Maureen B. Lemon Grove, CA
I recently had two major floods in the crawlspace beneath my house only 8 days apart. I contacted Drain Masters because the plumber offered by my insurance company couldn't fit me in for two days even though I didn't have water service. Drain Masters responded within a couple hours and was able to patch the pipe, restore water service and return 36 hours later to make the bigger repair. They were timely, professional and reasonably priced so of course I called them right away when I discovered the 2nd leak. Again, Drain Masters arrived within hours. This time I had them replace all of the old style pipes with copper to avoid a 3rd disaster. They coordinated with my insurance agent, finished the work in one day and gave me a great warranty on their work. I've never had a really bad experience with other plumbers but I definitely had mediocre experiences that left me wondering who I would call the next time something happened. Not this company! Zeke was responsive, knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. I would not hesitate to refer Drain Masters to anyone I know in need of a plumber and they have gained a customer for life.
Laura B. San Diego, CA
Zeke and his employees were so great! We were having problems with our shower and toilet clogging up and had another company come out about 5 times in 5 months. All they did was snake the drain and leave. Not Drain Masters. Zeke genuinely wanted to help fix the problem so it never happened again. He was professional and very honest about the situation in regards to pricing. I'm glad my landlord had this company come out to do the job because they were very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks so much Zeke!
Janet J. Venice, CA
Zeke came out today and hydro jetted my mothers backyard drains. It took them quite sometime to clean out the 40 yr, solid dirt packed, root filled drain lines. But they did it!!! No more backyard floods next winter. Thank you Zeke
Elena L. Spring Valley
We had a problem with our sewer pipe gushing water right before leaving on vacation. When we returned, the plumber who was supposed to be out last Thurs was a no show. I saw the ad for Drain Masters, gave them a call and Zeke was here within a couple of hours and very efficiently and quickly did a major repair and had us up and running. The best part besides his very professional and polite manner was the reasonable price! I definitely recommend this company 🙂
Nonoy B. Chula Vista, CA
I live in Otay Ranch, Chula Vista and had a kitchen sink clog. First off, The boss at Drain Masters was able to schedule a appointment to come out to my house the next day. Great fast service. Highly Recommended. Appointment was from 9am - 11am and George showed up at 8:55am. George is one of their plumber techs. He did a very fine job. Cleaned up after himself even though he didn't make much mess and had a very positive attitude. He was able to fix the clog and took care of everything. Very professional.
Cheyenne W. Spring Valley, CA
Ive been using Zeke for years now. Never have I been disappointed. He is extremely nice and accommodating. I had to reschedule with him a few times and he would even come by late in the evenings for plumbing emergencies. Never has he ripped me off, actually quite the opposite, he will give me certain discounts and is willing to have payment plans. He also gives great advice and at home tips. I use him and highly recommend using his services if you live in the area. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Jade W. San Diego
Zeke at Drain Masters Plumbing was fantastic. We needed a new toilet, and he installed it professionally while also cracking some jokes...because I mean. come on...toilet humor is funny. 🙂
When I called my landlord about some problems with our toilet, Zeke was over within 2 hours. We set up an installation date and time, and once again he was early. An installer early?! I don't know about you guys, but usually I'm waiting around all day for them. It was so nice to be done with the install and have the rest of our day. He also cleaned and disposed of everything so we didn't have to. I'd highly recommend these guys for any of your plumbing needs. Expect prompt courteous service with a smile.
Rosemary M. San Diego, CA
Thank you Drain Masters for coming to our rescue! We wouldn't call on anyone else to help us with our plumbing needs. Reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy, fair and honest. Don't do it yourself, call the experts!
Robert G. Bonita Yelp Review
Zeke stopped by looked at our toilet bowl. Knew the problem and cleared out the BLOCKED Septic tank with a power snake, reinstalled the bowl, and cleaned the floor clean enough to eat off of. The drain actually never flushed this well in years. I recommend this company not just because of the reasonably great price, but for the quality and craftsmanship showed. I will refer Zeke to any one who needs a great plumber. ~ Robert
Shannon H. La Mesa Yelp Review
WOW!!! Very impressed by the service I received from George from Drain Masters!!! He arrived 15 min early, diagnosed our problem in less than 5 min and had us all fixed up within the hour. There are no after hours/weekend fees, so the cost was EXTREMELY reasonable AND the work has a 30 day warranty! THANK YOU George!!!!
Rita C. Chula Vista Yelp
Zeke and his crew were awesome. My 93-yr-old mother needed to replace all the cast iron pipes in the house (from 1948)! Needless to say, an overwhelming proposition and only one bathroom in the place. Zeke's crew were courteous and showed us what was needed or going on every step of the way. They even gently took up and replaced her strawberry plants. At the end of the day, pipes replaced, old pipes removed, stuccowall repaired, Zeke took broom and dustpan to make sure the place was clean and ready to use. These guys are my plumbers for life!

Robin M. San Diego Yelp Review
It started with a simple phone call asking a question about a procedure. I lucked out and got the owner on my first call. We made a great connection and he truly was a problem solver and not just a "salesman".
Zeke and his team showed up promptly, worked diligently and resolved my issue. Super friendly, honest and knowledgable. I felt really comfortable in the fact that Zeke wanted to put the needs of his customer first and do what was right for the situation. He has my business from this point on!
Juliette T. Lemon Grove Yelp Review
Drain masters is by far the best plumbing company I've come across...they are fast, reliable & affordable. Zeeke the guy that help me out was nice and straight to the point. Told me what needed to be done & didn't over charge me. Thanks DM and thank you zeeke... From the Townsend

Restricted Freedom Chapter 8/?Sep. 27th, 2013 03:03 pm
Title: Restricted Freedom
Author: SnowStormSkies
Universe: Tokio Hotel (Real Person Fiction).
Theme/Topic: Total Power Exchange, a close examination.
Rating: M.
Characters: Bill and Tom focused.
Warnings/Spoilers: Incest, BDSM, punishment, spanking, total power exchange.
Word Count: WIP - constantly expanding.
Time: WIP - the clock is still ticking, people.
Summary: To both Bill and Tom, control is key; it's how they work together. Bill takes it, without or without permission, over everything from clothes to food to songs to bedtime. Tom gives it, freely and wholehearted to his brother - what Bill thinks is best for him is best; whether it is girls, outfits, where they eat or sleep. How they have sex. He is not Master, he is not Sir. He is Bill, and Tom loves him.
Dedication: Nobody in particular - for a anon kink meme prompt which requested this:
I'd love Tom to be fully mentally under Bill's control.
They'd look outside like we see them, but behind the scenes Bill controls everything in Tom's life and Tom is happy about that. You can choose how far or in which things you want to focus on in this fic, but basically total control over everything (like Tom's looks, clothes, using bathroom, everything). Bill also controls Tom's relationships and sex life (chooses Tom's gf's, random sex partners...) and in their own not-so-platonic relationship. Tom is happy to give all his control to Bill and it makes him feel safe. Sometimes Bill plays with Tom's OCD (messes things up, re-arrange things like Tom's need to color match) and it causes Tom anxiety, but in the end they are really happy together like this.
This is not about an abusive relationship, but very loving and caring one.
A/N: Cross posting, nothing new here..... Could be vaguely seen as the sequel to Walk the Line but it's not necessary to think of it like that, found here as part one and part twoDistribution: Nyet. Not for you. See master post here for list of distribution places. Previous Chapter can be found here.

Carrie Underwood vs. Blake Shelton – The Showdown
Two weeks ago, Carrie Underwood's 'Good Girl' took down Miranda Lambert's 'Over You' to win the Taste of Country Showdown championship belt. But this week, Underwood will have to get through the other half of country music's favorite couple to continue her march toward the Showdown Hall of Fame. Blake Shelton's 'Drink on It' will battle the blonde country superstar for fan votes.
Another win for 'Good Girl' would be her third (the song topped Lady Antebellum's 'Dancin' Away With My Heart' last week), meaning she'd need just one more to earn a spot in the Hall of Fame. The singer performed the song from her upcoming album 'Blown Away' on the ACM Awards last week. It's a sassy, uptempo country rocker with a message for women being dogged by a man who's no good.
Shelton's newest song is a easy-going country swinger about a guy trying to convince a pretty girl to pay him attention. There's no official music video for the Top 5 hit from 'Red River Blue,' but the singer did release official audio with images of a pretty girl sipping a drink at a bar, waiting for Mr. Right to show up.
Listen to both songs and decide which one you think is more deserving of the Showdown crown. You can only vote once, and all votes must be in by April 15, 2012 at 11:59PM ET.

Showdown Rules: The artist and song with the most votes wins, and winner goes on to face next week's challenger. If an artist wins four weeks in a row, he or she will be retired into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame to allow for new songs to compete.

Tuesday notesOct 15, 2013 By Steven R. Peck
Weather robbery
As each chilly day passes, it seems more likely that we won't be the recipients of an extended period of fine fall weather in Fremont County. Monday's newest cold snap didn't bring the threatened snow the way two previous storms already have, but it did interrupt -- again -- what typically is a six- to eight-week period of steady sun, calm winds and mild temperatures. To many, early to mid-fall is the finest slice of weather the Wind River Basin sees all year -- and this year we just aren't getting it.
Does it portend a fierce winter? We haven't had one of those in awhile, either. There is a nagging suspicion that this could be the one.
An hour of sun
One other weather note: Friday definitely was not one of those golden, sunny autumn days we all love, but it did produce an hour of nice weather in mid-afternoon -- coinciding directly with the Riverton High School Homecoming Parade on Main Street downtown. Whoever was responsible, thanks.
Federal foul-up
We're publishing staff writer Katie Roenigk's story today about some of the local effects of the continuing shutdown of most federal government operations. Fremont County isn't a particularly big "federal county," but the shutdown isn't without its influence here as it relates to the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Reclamation. We'll keep following this story as long as we have to -- which, we hope, isn't all that much longer.
Remember me?
On that note, one sign that there could be some movement, positively, on the shutdown is that the two top leaders of the U.S. Senate actually are talking.
Nevada Democrat Harry Reid, the majority leader, and Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell, the minority leader, sat across from each other in the same room over the weekend and again Monday, trying to work something out.
Two senators having a meeting does not, on the surface, seem to be a breakthrough moment, but in this case it probably is. Congress watchers say this is thought to be the first time the two leaders have even spoken to each other since last spring.
Five in the 500
People who say the federal shutdown and down-to-the-wire debt crisis doesn't really affect them much must not have a mutual fund, a 401(k) account or a retirement plan at work, because those accounts have suffered in recent weeks as Congress chases its tail.
Our "Five in the 500" investment exercise reflected that trend. We asked readers to imagine a $500 investment in the Standard and Poor's 500 Index -- not buying shares of stock, but simply betting on whether the index would rise or fall each day (yes, such funds do exist and are increasingly popular).
We began tracking the imaginary nest egg on President Barack Obama's second Inauguration Day in January, and it had gone very well until last month, when the shutdown and looming debt crisis sent it tumbling.
Well, that changed last week, when the S&P rebounded nicely, up 2.3 percent for the week. So, had you written that $500 checkon Jan. 21, placed it in an S&P index fund, and left it alone since then, as ofTuesday morningit would have been worth $604.03. That is a return of 20.8 percent in nine months.
Using Tonkin
Photographer Wayne Nicholls got a kick -- in more ways than one -- from covering last week's annual Punt, Pass and Kick competition at Tonkin Stadium in Riverton. The grass was in great shape, and voices echoed around the historic venue in cheerful tones.
It was good to see the old bowl, host field for four Riverton Wolverines state football championships, in use again. No long-term plan has been agreed upon for Tonkin, but the more uses it can be put to -- both sports-related and otherwise -- the better it will be for the preservation and maintenance of the facility.
Here's to a good week.
MAIL SUBSCRIBERS: Friday's edition of The Ranger was delivered to the Riverton post office by 3:30 p.m., in time to meet the postal deadline for next-day mail delivery.

Reviews for Dr Bronner's Rose Liquid Soap 237ml
It is the first soap of this brand that i bought and i found it very good. I use it only for my face, it is antibacterial and it helps me very much with my acne problems. Also, it removes all dirtiness and make-up, the mascara included!
These soaps are AMAZING! I love all of them, but rose is my favourite scent (not just because it's my name!) You just need a few drops on a sponge or pouffe and an astonishing amount of lather is created!

AFSCME Employees Pension Plan Opposes Excessive Executive Compensation at American Express and Wells FargoWashington, DC —
The AFSCME Employees Pension Plan today announced it is voting against resolutions to ratify executive compensation at the annual meetings of American Express and Wells Fargo later this month.
"Outlandish, guaranteed executive salaries and bonuses that aren't tied to performance are unacceptable," said AFSCME President Gerald W. McEntee, who chairs the AFSCME Employees Pension Plan. "This kind of excessive, guaranteed executive compensation is outrageous."
American Express and Wells Fargo will hold annual meetings on April 26 and 27 respectively. Their boards have approved compensation plans that increase guaranteed pay, decrease incentive pay and fail to tie incentives to performance. American Express, for example, makes incentive payouts for below median performance. Wells Fargo increased guaranteed 2010 pay by more than tripling base salaries from their pre-TARP levels, immunizing these executives from the risks shareholders face.
American Express Chairman and CEO Kenneth Chenault received $1,250,000 in salary in 2009 (bumped to $2,000,000 in 2010), with a $5,250,000 discretionary bonus payment. In August, the Wells Fargo Compensation Committee increased the 2009 annual base salary for John Stumpf, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer from $900,000 to $5,600,000.
"We will vote against these management compensation proposals and send a message that shareholders won't stand for these games," continued McEntee. "Executive compensation should be tied to performance."
AFSCME's "Vote No on Management Say on Pay" campaign has gained significant momentum among corporate governance advisory firms. RiskMetrics Group Inc. and Glass Lewis are the latest to recommend that shareholders of American Express and Wells Fargo vote against the approval of executive pay packages.
"Shareholders now have a say on the pay of executives at over 60 U.S. companies. It is up to investors to use this accountability tool wisely. When pay packages aren't in the best interest of shareowners, we need to use our vote to oppose them," concluded McEntee.

Garfunkel and Oates stars Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci as both themselves and their musical comedy alter-egos, "Garfunkel and Oates," following the pair as they try to expand the reaches of their meager celebrity. Well-known on the improv-comedy scene, Micucci and Lindhome met at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in LA, naming their band for "two famous rock-and-roll second bananas," Art Garfunkel and John Oates. In five bite-sized episodes, Riki and Kate skewer taboos and perform tongue-in-cheek songs about their woeful lives as single, late-20-something Los Angelinos.Overview from themoviedb.org

In the dimmed lights of the eight-seat U.S. Marshals plane carrying him toward the long-delayed reunion with his father, it was impossible to say what 6-year-old Elián Gonzalez was thinking. But perhaps all that mattered to him at the moment was the strong hand of the Immigration and Naturalization Service's Betty Mills running through his hair and gently soothing him. Five months after Elián had been rescued at sea clutching an inner tube following the drowning death of his mother, Elisabet Brotons Rodriguez, 30, he was now clinging to Mills, even falling asleep in her lap. "She was patting him on his back and on his head," says Dr. Gustavo Cadavid, a psychiatrist for the INS who was on the plane. "She was very motherly. In a way, there was some rapport being established."
The ministrations of Mills, 33, the divorced Spanish-speaking agent who had bundled Elián out of the Miami home of his great-uncle Lázaro González during the INS's predawn raid on April 22, may have been partly responsible for the surprisingly smooth recovery that Elián appeared to make from those terrifying few moments. When reunited later that morning with his father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, 31, at a safe house at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, D.C., Elián hugged him tight and cried. The Rev. Joan Brown Campbell, a key American adviser to Juan Miguel, visited Elián and his father on their first day together and recalls being struck by the bond apparent between the two. "There was a little truck that they were trying to put together," says Campbell. "Elián only wanted his father to help. He would crawl into his lap and put his arms around him and look at him, and Juan Miguel would put his arms around him."
Elián seemed to take special delight in being with his 6-month-old half brother Hianny, who was there with Juan Miguel's second wife, Nersy Carmenate Castillo. "One time the baby fell over and Elián sang him a song in Spanish and he stopped crying," says Campbell, who was accompanied at the air base by her 12-year-old granddaughter Jessica. "Elián was very proud of himself." Indeed, Elián seemed to take a certain comfort in being, for a change, the one who could provide the nurturing. "If [Hianny] fussed, he would bring him a toy and try to make him happy," says Campbell. "He crawled into the crib with him once because he was crying."
During the flight up from Miami, according to INS physician Carlos Quinones, Elián himself had been teary at one point, asking about his cousin Marisleysis, 21, who had been serving as his surrogate mother. But once inside Andrews's tightly secured grounds, Elián reportedly passed his first few days back with his father in blissful ignorance of the furor that continued to surround his case. On Easter Sunday—while Marisleysis and a handful of her Miami relatives tried in vain to be admitted to Andrews—someone at the base dressed as the Easter Bunny stopped by to give Elián candy. The little boy watched the Cartoon Network and even got to play catch outside with two other boys.
Two days later the U.S. Marshals Service, continuing to provide protection for Elián and his family, moved them to Carmichael House, a farmhouse on the grounds of Wye Plantation. The secluded 1,100-acre retreat and conference center with tennis courts, swimming pools and miles of hiking trails on Maryland's Eastern Shore previously hosted the 1998 Middle East peace talks. To ensure that Elián doesn't get lonely, the State Department announced that a few of the boy's Cuban friends, each accompanied by one adult, would be allowed to visit him for about two weeks.
Just how the Elián endgame will play out remains very much an open question. Under the guidance of his Miami relatives, the youngster applied in December for political asylum in the United States. On April 19 the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that his asylum hearing, now scheduled for May 11, should go forward despite his age and that Elián could not be brought back to Cuba before the hearing. But this could become a moot point. Even if his petition is successful, Elián would be under no obligation to stay in the U.S. Conceivably, his father, who now has legal custody of the boy, could simply wait for the ruling and, regardless of the outcome, then board a plane for Havana with his family.
In fact the germ of this scenario seems already to have been planted in Elián's mind. The Reverend Campbell says that as she and her granddaughter were saying goodbye to Elián on Saturday he called out to them in Spanish, "Come visit us in Cuba."

Leaks inside the Colonnade mean the council cannot lease it longterm as planned and is looking at its options.
Members of Cabinet discussed beginning legal action over faults in this £3.2 million phase of the Next Wave plan - of which water ingress inside the Colonnade has proved most problematic.
The original intention was for it to be a high-class destination restaurant but attempts to find a suitable tenant have proved unsuccessful because of the unresolved issue.
In the meantime the Colonnade is being used by businesswoman Janet Bussche who is happy to work around the problem and busy making plans for the future.
She has been running her vintage tearoom since summer when she helped start up a pop-up fair with other traders.
Janet had hoped to be offered a long lease by Rother District Council but realised this was not going to happen while the leaks continue - the space allocated as a kitchen cannot be used but Janet has just got on with it.
She did not want to invest too much in the premises with there was no guarantee she could stay but next week sees the start of work with a new floor being laid followed by installation of public toilets and then a new kitchen space.
Janet commented: "Yes, it does leak - but it doesn't mean it is shut. It is just something to work around for a couple of years. It will be fixed, someone will stump up for it, but in the meantime we are there and we have plans. I am going to get a full drinks licence, and have a dedicated bar area with sofas, music on Friday and Saturdays, serve Sunday lunch and ve entertainment for children - Punch and Judy shows, jugglers, clowns, family fun."
"This is a big thing for us - everyone down here has got lots of plans but we all put them on standby because we didn't know what was going to happen."
The other businesses in the Colonnade include 4+2 which sells handmade craft, jewellery, handbags, and recycled mirrors, Little Vintage Baby, INDI pet boutique which has collars, biscuits, and even dog birthday cakes and cookies, Rick Moye's artwork, canvasses, and photographs.
Janet said: "This is such a perfect place and the people who come here love it - they love the fact that everything is local, and all of it made in Bexhill. People might be visiting here and they love to take home something that has come from Bexhill. I think they like to shop local - they know we are not buying everything from the supermarket. and that everything we use we make ourselves."
Janet is looking forward to the coming months and interested in setting up events such as local theatrical groups giving performances, musicians, singers and entertainers - if you feel you might like to perform at the Colonnade contact her on 07554870882 - and also talks, nostalgia and memory sharing of Bexhill-past from people who grew up in the town.

Support to the Lebanese Army organizational development - Enhanced Technical Skills for the Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) SectionAug 22, 2014
The "Addressing Urban Hot Spots in Lebanon" project organized a 6 day training workshop in essentials of Project Management for LAF designated and non-designated CIMIC personnel from August 18th to 23rd 2014 at the Monroe Hotel, as part of UNDP's continuous support to the Lebanese Army capacity building and organizational development.
The training workshop was attended by 15 LAF officers and non-commissioned officers and aimed at enhancing their technical skills in Project and Financial Management, Administrative and Internal Communications skills.
The purpose of the training was to empower the LAF CIMIC section personnel with sound technical skills in order to ensure effective implementation of the LAF CIMIC National strategy, whereby the cooperation between the Lebanese Army and the civil institutions, the citizenry, and all the inhabitants of the country is crucial for peace building and enhanced stabilization. The training workshop was provided in line with the work principles, planning process, goals, prototype missions and range of activities indicated in the National strategy.
Following 18 months of institutional and technical support to the LAF CIMIC section, the "Addressing Urban Hot Spots in Lebanon" project partners; UNDP, UNIFIL and UN-OHCHR as well as UNSCOL are working with the Lebanese Army in order to strengthen a partnership that has resulted to date in achieving the following milestones:
· Development and endorsement of a National Civil-Military Cooperation strategy and its five year action plan
· Rehabilitation and equipment of the Civil-Military Cooperation section headquarters offices in the Shukri Ghanem barracks in Fayadieh
· Support to the capacity development in Civil-Military Relations/Cooperation skills for 20 designated and non-designated officers and non-commissioned officers in-country with UNIFIL and abroad with the Italian and Serbian Armed Forces
· Support to planning and implementation of pilot community outreach interventions in South Lebanon and Beirut conflict prone areas respectively benefiting 1 hospital and 4 medical centers together serving a population of 12,000 residents of Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian nationalities
· Support to the CIMIC section and Directorate of Orientation through the procurement of high end communications' material

Has anyone actually tested the difference between these two? I have the older version and it is just not cutting it anymore and wondering if the new version is really any sharper?Thanks
I have the 16-35II and find it excellent regards sharpness and contrast. Michael Reichmann did a good review on it on it. It is still on his site. Also you can do a comparison on line here:Compare 16-35 and 16-35II and a full review here:Review of 16-35IIRegards, John
JMWSCOT, Could you please point me to MR's 16-35 II review. All I can find is Fred Miranda's 16-35mm(original one) reviewThanks
I've had both lenses and beyond the lenses the cameras used play just as an important factor. My 16-35 was great on my 1Ds and 1Ds Mark II's. On the 1Ds Mark III the 16-35 corners turn to a smeared mush at just about any aperture and any focal length.
Same thing happens to me with an 85 1.2 on a 5D and on a 1DsM2. Precise focusing wide open on the 5D and so so on the other.

SoulCalibur II
Review by BakaOrochi
"Everything you can expect but..."
Don't get me wrong, I love SoulCalibur. The story is fascinating, and I've been hooked since SoulEdge/SoulBlade. The PS2 version is nothing short of the arcade at home, with a few minor infractions.
Yet, I still must say, Namco hasn't made a solid home version of the SE series since the PSX SoulEdge/Blade.
Gameplay: 8/10
Where there's a will, there's a way. Even if you're being comboed, or popped up, there's usually a way to get out of it. Unlike Tekken, where I found myself getting frustrated at the constant ridiculous combos that took chunks off my life. Unfortunately also for this port, it features a Tekken player, Heihachi, who has some of those ridiculous combos, IMHO. His only major drawback thankfully is that his reach is one of the worst in the game.
The Guard Impact system (aka parrying) is refined much moreso that players should learn how to use or avoid them, more than SC1. And the ''clone'' characters for the most part weren't simple model swaps like in SC1, thankfully. Characters like Seung Mina and Kilik were similar, but in SC2, they have a lot more difference than than in SC1. I also expected a Hwang clone from Yunsung, but he was also given a complete makeover so that he's nothing like his master, Hwang. Sophitia, like a few people expected, is nowhere near a simple clone of Cassandra either.
When's the last time you've heard of a fighting game where the characters revolve around the story, instead of a fighting game with a weak story throw in? The story is not only rather believable and not stretching (*cough* Street Fighter *cough*), most of the characters are tied with each other somehow. And each have some history with the SoulEdge. It's not mindblowing, but it's very intriguing. Should you choose to follow along.
Audio/video: 9/10
Since the arcade was based off the PS2 hardware, this version isn't any different. However, due to console hardware limitations, there is noticable slow-downs during scenes of tight action or with a lot of graphical effects. While it is distracting, it doesn't detract much from gameplay.
One other neat thing to note is the characters eyes/head will either always follow the camera or their opponent. And with the use, again, of motion capture, the movement of the characters have a very realistic feel to them.
The audio, as always, is top notch, orchestrated/synthesized.
Replay: 7/10
There is a lot to unlock in this game, don't get me wrong.
To unlock the major elements of the game, the best way to go about it is through Weapons Master mode. This is a combination of the SoulEdge EM mode and the SC1 WM game. You can buy weapons for your character to use, similar to SE, and there are requirements for each one. However, it's not linear, just like SC1. Plus, there's not much more to unlock either. Getting the ''final weapon'' for each character doesn't require ''real'' work.
The elements of WM mode combines the aspect of the arcade's ''Conquest mode,'' in which you fight and gain points/level for your account/savegame. The only thing added to this is the ''money'' system, where you buy your unlocks.
The real problem lies with how short this is; most of the unlocks can be done in a night and a half. Then there's nothing more to unlock. Once you hit about level 75, there's not much incentive to keep going, especially after a while, the amount of points to gain another level jumps.
The unlockable characters were a refresher. But how many characters it unlocked, that was a bit up in the air. In most other Namco games, there isn't a whole lot of new characters to unlock. Yet in SC1, the cast of characters were almost literally doubled. Yet in this version, there's only an addition of 4 charaters, plus the 3 from the arcade. Namco also entices you with 3 additional CPU-only characters, which are not playable. At all.
I also felt some of the new character were not tested out enough by Namco, as they seem to lack balance.
However, it is fun when you have two players, and you choose to tinker around with the special weapons.
There just needs to be more ''major'' things to unlock. A few mini-games or more character would be great. The amount of work between unlocks would have been better for Namco's sake as well.
There's also a lot of potential for Namco to go online with this game, which would have made the game that much better, but for whatever reason, Namco opted not to (i.e. online Conquest mode).
All-in-all, it's a very solid fighter. I would not recommend renting this game; I would recommend buying it. It's a fun party game, and even though it may lack mini-games like in Tekken, it still is fun nonetheless. Plus with the cross-platforming of unique characters, it's an experience not to be missed.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- You can count on NASCAR Sprint Cup veteran Jeff Gordon when it comes to first-time accomplishments at Kansas Speedway.
Gordon won the first two races at the Speedway after the track opened in 2001 and Saturday night he won the first Sprint Cup night race at Kansas, holding off polesitter and 2013 race winner Kevin Harvick by 0.112 of a second for the victory.
Gordon, a four-time Cup champion, went into the race as the points leader and posted his 89th career win and first this season.
Gordon, who started 13th, only led nine laps on the night while Harvick led a race-high 119 laps, but the driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet led the right laps en route to a win that virtually assured him of a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
"I knew we had a good race car,'' Gordon said. "We've had really fast race cars every single weekend and it's just given me so much confidence in the race cars and the race team.
"Kevin was coming. He was so strong and I did not know if I could hold him off and almost didn't there at the end. When we caught traffic the car just got extremely loose on me and he was really coming, but luckily I got to the checkered flag.''
Harvick, who won from the pole in '13, blamed himself for letting Gordon get by him at the end of the race.
"There at the end we ran out of gas coming to pit road and I was looking at the fuel pressure gauge instead of the tach and lost a bunch of time down pit road and off of pit road (and) wound up getting stuck behind the 24,'' Harvick said.
Kasey Kahne, Gordon's Hendrick Motorsports teammate, finished third, posting his first top-five finish of the season.
"It went really good for us,'' Kahne said. "We had a fast Farmers Insurance Chevy throughout the race, worked our way up.
"It was a really solid run. (It was) nice to run up front and be able to race hard the whole night. It was good for us.''
Joey Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr. rounded out the top five, with Earnhardt's finish giving Hendrick Motorspots three cars in the top five.
Saturday was also a huge night for Danica Patrick, with the driver of the No. 10 for Stewart-Haas Racing finishing a career-best seventh.
"You know you are going to go up, you are going to go down a little bit and we sure enough do that, but we more than held our own through the whole race,'' Patrick said. "I'm extremely proud of this crew for building a new car that was just awesome.''
Emporia's Clint Bowyer, the lone native Kansan in the race, spun out early in the race which put him back in the field. He never could get back on the lead lap, finishing 23rd.
"Well that was disappointing and certainly not how we wanted to finish the race at my home track,'' Bowyer said. "We just couldn't get the handling right tonight on our No. 15 Cherry 5-hour ENERGY Toyota. Just a disappointing end to a great week.''
Gordon now leads Matt Kenseth, who finished 10th, by 15 points in the Cup standings while Harvick climbed four spots to 15th.
The start of Saturday's race was delayed for 37 minutes by the threat of storms but there was never more than a sprinkle and once the race started there were no weather interruptions.

Information Technology Services: ID Theft Protection
Protecting Yourself from Identity Theft
- Never disclose any personal information unless you initiate the contact.
- Put a password on your credit card accounts.
Use a password that is different from your mother's maiden name. Your mother's maiden name can be found on your credit report, and other people can obtain a copy of this report just by saying you are going to rent some property from them.
- Keep your numbers to yourself.
Don't put credit card numbers on checks or envelopes. Don't give account numbers over the phone unless you made the call. Always tear up or shred pre-approved credit card applications & balance transfer checks before throwing them away.
- Check your statements.
Check your billing statements each month for fraudulent charges and report them immediately. Every line should be recognizable; if it is not, call your credit-card company to find out what a particular charge is for and where it was charged. Tell your company to freeze your card account if there is any question of its having been compromised. Write down the details of every conversation with the credit-card company employees (date, time, name of employee, case number) in case you need evidence to clear your own name.
If you do not receive your statement on time, someone may be using a fraudulent change of address. Call the creditor first and then the post office to see if a change of address has been filed in your name.
- Ask for your FREE annual credit report.
Under federal law you are entitled to a yearly free credit report from each of the three main credit bureaus – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Ask for a copy of your credit report once a year from www.annualcreditreport.com to check for changed addresses and fraudulent account information. AnnualCreditReport.com is THE official site to help consumers to obtain their free credit report. Unless you've had your identity stolen in the past 2 years, there is no need to purchase automatic credit monitoring services if you obtain your free copies every year. Space out your requests by getting one report every 4 months. (Example: Equifax in January, Experian in April, Transunion in August)
- Never e-mail personal or financial information.
E-mail is not a secure method of transmitting personal information.
- Always conduct online transactions using a Web browser that has all current security patches and on a secure website
- Never perform online transactions on public computers. Like Internet cafes, wireless networks, lab computers.
- Always use strong passwords or pass phrases that contain a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special characters. And the longer the better!
- Don't let your browser be "helpful" by remembering passwords and other private information. If your computer gets compromised, they get all this information.
- Be cautious about opening any attachment or downloading any files from e-mails you receive, regardless of who appears to have sent them.
- Shred anything containing personal information before throwing away. Shred all billing statements, ATM receipts, bank statements and anything with an imprint of your credit card number, prescreened credit card or loan offers, and anything containing personal information before throwing them away.
- Don't put your Social Security number on checks and don't carry the card with you.
What should I do if think I may be or am an ID theft victim?

wealth gap
Average wealth in America has grown over the past 50 years, but not at the same rate for everyone. Wealth gaps, especially between whites and non-whites, are growing. In 2013, the average white family had seven times the wealth of average African American families and six times the wealth of Hispanic families, according to an Urban Institute analysis released Wednesday.

The wealth gap between upper-income Americans and the rest of the country has reached a new high. According to a Pew Research Center analysis, the gap actually widened during the recovery as only upper-income families recouped some of the wealth lost during the recession. Continue reading
What's the biggest global threat these days? If you ask Americans and Europeans, it's economic inequality. In the Middle East, religious and ethnic hatred is of most concern. The Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project surveyed 48,643 people around the world about their greatest fears. The data revealed interesting regional — and in United States, partisan — differences. Continue reading
In other news Thursday, al-Qaida's affiliate in Iraq claimed responsibility for last week's bombings in Baghdad. The explosions tore through a dozen, mainly Shiite, neighborhoods and killed at least 69 people. Also, an Egyptian court has ordered an end to forced virginity tests on women in military prisons.

As part of Paul Solman's reporting on Making Sen$e of financial news, The NewsHour has been airing a series on economic inequality.

This might make life easier on customers who use both products. I think the "replace/upsert" feature is one that some postgresql users ask for. > * How commercial friction invigorates the community Seems they understand commercial friction - their relational engine's owned by their biggest competitor. :-) > * Induction of newbies Ah yes - perhaps they'd like to adopt some of our community's welcoming initiation/hazing rituals such as "thou must abbreviate MySQL as Mys and pronounce it as Mice Q.

Little do they know. Their celebration is short lived. The private investigator that Stephanie hired takes a picture of Eric on the ledge and emails it to the editor of the newspaper! Eric Forrester EXPOSED! Ah hem. To say the least, right?
While on the other side of the city, Bridget becomes emotional when she talks to Nick about how nice it was for the two of them to put a baby to sleep together; the way it should have been if Nicole had survived. Later, Katie pays a visit to Nick and doesn't mince words when telling him that he can not be a part of Brooke's life and that he and Brooke need to stay away from each other.

On-trade drinks giant Waverley TBS went into administration yesterday.
The company, which employs about 830, was bought from Heineken by equity group Manfield Partners in 2010. The firm has said that Waverley is the victim of tough trading conditions in the UK on-trade.
Waverley will continue to trade while administrators Deloitte attempt to find a buyer for the company. 'We are in negotiations with a number of interested parties who are keen to acquire the company,' said Deloitte's Daniel Butters.

Tablets are becoming increasingly visible on the Internet. 96.8% of them are iPads
On Sunday we reported on a Net Applications' survey for June that found Apple (aapl) devices were responsible for more than 60% of U.S.-based mobile Web browsing -- 35.2% of it on iPhones and 25.5% on iPads. See here.
Today we want to drill a little deeper into Net Applications' tablet data.
In their report for May they found that tablet computers were responsible for 0.95% of Web browsing among their clients' sites -- not just in the U.S. but worldwide -- and that 96.8% of that traffic was coming from iPads.
Last week the Web analytics firm reported that the iPad's share alone of all Internet browsing had passed 1%, and that in the U.S. it is now 2.1%.
The competition -- chiefly from Samsung, Motorola (mot) and Research in Motion (rimm) -- is negligible.
Below: A fever chart showing how the iPad's global share has grown.

The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) has released a report[1] on the final overtime rules published by the U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) last April[2]. EPI has argued before that, if adopted, these overtime regulations would mean "lower pay [and] longer hours for millions of workers"[3]. These charges are simply untrue. The new regulation will, in fact, improve overtime protections for employees.
The current regulation is antiquated.
Before a worker may be considered exempt for overtime, there are three tests that must be met. First, the "salary-basis" test specifies that a worker must be paid on a set salary; hourly employees who work more than 40 hours in a given work week are generally eligible for overtime. Second, the "salary-level" test determines that any worker who earns less than a certain salary is automatically eligible for overtime, regardless of his or her job. Finally, a "duties test" allows certain executive, administrative, and professional employees to be exempt from overtime based on the kind of work they do.
The salary test has not been updated in nearly 30 years, and the duties test has gone even longer without any significant changes. One consequence of the lack of updated rules is that the minimum salary needed for a worker to be exempted from overtime is an absurdly low $155 per work week. The new regulation would raise the salary test to $455 per work week: any worker paid less than $455 per work week (or $23,660 per year) would automatically receive overtime protection, regardless of job duties.
The new rules mainly simplify the duties tests, but make few substantive changes.
Under the current rules, there are both short duties tests and long duties tests to determine whether or not an employee is exempt from overtime. Which test is administered depends on the employee's salary level. But because of the failure to update the regulation, the long test has become irrelevant and the "short test" applies to all workers earning more than $13,000 per year. Under the new final rules, a single "standard test" for each occupational category (administrative, executive, and professional employees) replaces all of the old tests.
The new rules are particularly valuable for low-level supervisors. Under the current "short test," an "assistant manager" who regularly supervises two other employees could be designated exempt from overtime. Under the new rules, supervisors must have the authority to hire and fire, or their suggestions in that arena must be given "particular weight" in addition to the other managerial duties. This is a significant tightening of the executive duties test that will result in fewer exemptions.
Similarly, for administrative and other office employees, employers will find it more difficult to deny overtime under the new rules. The regulation dictates that the employee, as part of his or her job duties, must exercise "discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance."
The new duties test for professional employees will have little, if any, effect on who receives overtime. The current rules state that the primary duty of a professional is "work requiring knowledge of an advanced type" that is "customarily acquired by a prolonged course of specialized intellectual instruction and study," which is the same language used in the new rule. Both the old rule and the new rule make a narrow exception for cases where substantial experience exists, such as an attorney who did not attend law school. That type of worker may still be considered a professional.
The new regulation means more employees will be eligible for overtime, not fewer.
In their new study, EPI would have policymakers believe that some 6 million white-collar employees would lose overtime protection were the new overtime regulation adopted. This is based on the flawed premise that many hourly workers would be converted to a salary-basis and denied overtime. Because the overtime rules are either the same or change so minimally, employers who would be inclined to attempt this would have already done so.
According to a forthcoming analysis by The Heritage Foundation, nearly 1.3 million currently exempted workers who earn between $155 and $455 per week would receive overtime protection under the new regulation that they do not enjoy now. Because the new regulation makes it more difficult to exempt administrative and executive employees, more workers would be eligible for overtime protections.
The only workers who may lose overtime protections because of the new regulation are certain individuals earning more than $100,000 per year. Most of these workers are executives or professionals who are not eligible for overtime, anyway. Even if all of these highly paid employees lost their overtime protection-which is unlikely-only about 272,000 workers would lose overtime, according to this same Heritage study. A more reasonable estimate would be that around 100,000 highly compensated workers may lose their overtime.
The new overtime regulation is a welcome modernization from the outdated rules that employers must currently use. Contrary to the Economic Policy Institute's assertions, the new regulation would ensure that more employees enjoy overtime protections, not fewer.

It's official, there is now a domain named after me. My blog has moved to http://MrAndrewDykstra.com. Thank you all who have visited my site or read my posts! I hope to see you at my new address.
Today is Sponsored By: MSSQLTips.com!
The SQL Cruise would not be possible without our generous sponsors. I'd like to take a minute to highlight one sponsor on each day of the cruise.
MSSQLTips.com is committed to making quality content about SQL Server easily accessable to the community. They have webcasts, whitepapers, tutorials and a daily e-newsletter and more. Here's a bit about MSSQLtips.com.
MSSQLTips.com was started and is run by Edgewood Solutions, SQL Server industry experts that saw the need for a different approach to learning about SQL Server. There is plenty of content on the web, but finding content or learning something new about SQL Server often takes a lot of time, so we decided to try a different approach.

Redgate is based in the beautiful, if rather flat, university town of Cambridge, UK. If you're wondering where the name 'Red Gate' came from, they are named after Via Porta Rossa (Red Gate Street) in Florence, Italy, close to where Leonardo da Vinci invented the database in 1512.
Redgate's SQL Toolbelt is the simplest and most effective way to access all the SQL Server tools that you need, to get your job done, the way you want to do it. SQL Toolbelt is a single installer of thirteen essential database tools, including SQL Compare, SQL Prompt and SQL Backup, and is the industry standard in the world's leading companies, including Microsoft, HP, Sage, Bank of America, AT&T and the US Treasury.
Developers writing applications in any of the languages supported by the .NET Framework love our ANTS Performance Profiler, because it helps them optimize their code and boost their application's performance.
Redgate's philosophy is to design highly usable, reliable tools that solve the problems of DBAs and developers. They also want to make dealing with us as simple as possible. This means Redgate is transparent about pricing, offer online ordering, and give free, 14-day trials for all their software downloadable from the product pages.

Presentation Tips From SQL Saturday #40
SQL Saturday #40 was an incredible event. There were 600 registered and while I didn't hear the final count, I'd say there were easily 350 in attendance. Thank you to Scott Klein, Gareth Swanepoel and everyone who help put on the event!
One key thing I learned during this event is an hour cannot possibly be enough time to completely cover a subject. An excellent example is Dmitri Korotkevitch's session on the query optimizer. 45 minutes into the session started I felt like I had just finished my first breath! The material was good and Dimitri did very well but an hour was just not enough time.
So these are four tips I picked up to help make presentations more effective. I know these are things I need to work on and will hopefully be helpful to others as well.
1 – Be Prepared
I noticed presenters who knew the presentation and knew their tools and could cover more material and had better demos. For me, this means spending a lot more time in Powerpoint and finding more than one way to rehearse my demos.
Another issue with being prepared is having a backup plan. If the demo doesn't work, what should I do? If the projector dies, can the show still go on? Answer: go to plan 'B'.
2 – Be Orderly
This goes along with the first point, but because I can rabbit trail so easily, I need an extra reminder to stay focused. It would not be too unlike me to rabbit trail, change slides and be surprised by what showed up on the screen.
3 – Be Blogging
I love it when presenters share who they are, where they blog and reference their blog during the presentation. This gives me not only a place I can get the content of the presentation, but another resource in general. If you don't blog, at least know if and where the slide deck will be available after the event. Bonus points for doing both.
4 – Be In Front
Last thing – get a clicker. I tend to speak quietly or mumble. Not good in a presentation. Being away from my laptop will help me understand how large the room is and how loud my voice needs to be to fill that room. I understand demos have to be done from behind a laptop, but maybe I can stand during the demo rather than sitting. This will keep my head above the screen and hopefully my voice projecting to the back row.
I enjoyed every session I attended Saturday. Thank you to all the speakers who presented. You commitment to the community is outstanding!
Today is Sponsored By: Quest Software!
The SQL Cruise would not be possible without our generous sponsors. I'd like to take a minute to highlight one sponsor on each day of the cruise.

The SQL Cruise would not be possible without our generous sponsors. I'd like to take a minute to highlight one sponsor on each day of the cruise.
In addition to sponsoring the cruise, SQL Sentry held a contest in which one entrant would win a paid spot on the cruise. SQL Sentry didn't select one entrant. SQL Sentry selected FOUR! Here's a bit about SQL Sentry.
SQL Sentry began operations in 2004 as a business unit of InterCerve, which has provided software tools since 1997. SQL Sentry developed a visual interface and a reliable notification system so that database administrators could easily isolate and resolve performance problems. The software quickly evolved into the enterprise level application, SQL Sentry Event Manager. SQL Sentry has continued to develop additional ground-breaking software products that optimize the performance of Microsoft SQL Server environments, with the introduction of SQL Sentry Performance Advisor in 2008 and SQL Sentry Performance Advisor for Analysis Services in 2009.

Heading to SQL Saturday #40!
As part of my SQLCruise "traincation", I'll be attending SQL Saturday # 40 this weekend. There were a number of great abstracts submitted and nearly 40 sessions scheduled for the event. I had a difficult time narrowing down which sessions I would attend and finally settled on the list below. I used Buck Woody's post to help me decide which sessions would be most useful so I don't end up with awesome content and nothing to show the boss-man when I return. If you're attending any of the same sessions, say hi. I'm the bald guy likely near the front with a goatee and earring. If the sessions I picked out don't float your boat, there are plenty more to choose from.

Bill Nabel Brings TAKE ME AMERICA to Village Theatre, 9/14-11/20
Bill Nabel; a veteran actor of eight Broadway shows with 30 plus years on Broadway with over 9400 performances, a member of the original casts of "42nd Street" and "Beauty and the Beast" - the latter of which he was the only cast member to do the entire 13 year run; has switched hats and will now see two of his many works mounted within weeks of each other. Utah Shakespeare Festival will present the World Premiere of Mr. Nabel's new play LYING TO SPIELBERG at the Auditorium Theatre (351 West Center Street) in Cedar City, Utah on August 11, 12 and 31. And the Village Theatre will present the West Coast Premiere of TAKE ME AMERICA, a new musical with book and lyrics by Mr. Nabel and music by Bob Christianson from September 14 through November 20 at the Village Theatre of Issaquah, WA and the Village Theatre of Everett, WA.
LYING TO SPIELBERG, part of Utah Shakespeare's New American Playwrights Project, focuses on a holocaust survivor who is all set to have Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation film his story of escape from a concentration camp. Then, he receives a shocking visitor who challenges his story, his life and his Jewish legacy, which may compel him to-lie to Spielberg. David Ivers directs. Charles Metten stars. For more information on LYING TO SPIELBERG and to purchase tickets, please visit http://www.bard.org/plays/napp2011.html.
Seven desperate refugees know their chance for safety rests in the decision of three American agents. TAKE ME AMERICA is a gripping new musical about those who seek asylum in the United States, and the people who bear the responsibility of determining their fate. Inspired by true stories from across the globe, this compelling rock musical explores the humor in our humanity, the power of acceptance, and the delicate balance between caution and compassion. TAKE ME AMERICA will play the Francis J. Gaudette Theatre (303 Front Street North, Issaquah, WA) from September 14 through October 23, and the Everett Performing Arts Center (2710 Wetmore Avenue, Everett, WA) from October 28 through November 20. Jerry Dixon directs. Aaron Finley stars. For more information or to purchase tickets to TAKE ME AMERICA please visit http://www.villagetheatre.org/.
Bill Nabel is a recipient of a 2009 State of Connecticut Playwright Fellowship Grant and a finalist for the American Academy of Arts and Letters Richard Rodgers Prize for TAKE ME AMERICA. Other credits include the books and lyrics for LOVE ON ICE, the world's first cryogenic musical; WHO KILLED Mario Lanza?; GOLLYWOBBLE, a musical based on "The Andy Griffith Show" for Paramount Pictures; HABEAS CORPUS, the nom-de-plume musical and GO ASK YOUR FATHER, the musical that asks: "What would you do if you could confront your father about things that happened to you when you were a kid?"
He has written the plays LYING TO SPIELBURG; LOVE, LOSS AND WHAT I DROVE; MILF; HUBBLE, a multi-media astronomical fantasy about Edwin Hubble, the astronomer; THE SCHWARZCHILD RADIUS and THE CHAMP. Mr. Nabel is an alumnus of the Lehman Engel-BMI Musical Theater Workshop, Tufts University and is a member of the Dramatists Guild and the Abingdon Theatre New Playwrights.
Mr. Nabel appeared on Broadway for the entire thirteen year run of Disney's "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST" for which he did original readings for Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg (when they were speaking to each other). Mr. Nabel has appeared in over 9000 Broadway performances. But who's counting? Since his theatrical debut as "Tony" in WEST SIDE STORY under the tutelage of Leonard Bernstein, Mr. Nabel has appeared in eight Broadway shows including the original A CHORUS LINE, SWEENEY TODD, and 42nd STREET, HOME SWEET HOMER, AIN'T BROADWAY GRAND, EVITA and THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. He has worked with Susan H. Schulman, Gower Champion, Hal Prince, Gene Saks, Gerald Gutierrez, Stephen Sondheim, Alan Menken, Cy Coleman, Mitch Leigh, Lee Adams, Russell Baker, Barbara Fried, and Linda Woolverton.

Late, Late Night FDL: One Minute
On Friday, Uriah Heep released One Minute…
"One Minute" is taken from Uriah Heep's 24th studio album, and the first since 2011's "Into The Wild", "Outsider", which will be released on June 9 in the U.K., June 6 in the rest of Europe and June 10 in North America via Frontiers Records.
"We are very proud of our history," says Uriah Heep founder/guitarist Mick Box, "but it is equally important to keep producing new material. This new album, 'Outsider', is very much a rock album in true Heep style. It shows that we still have the same passion and energy for our music that we have always had." {…}
'Outsider' marks the Uriah Heep debut of Dave Rimmer, who joined when Trevor Bolder, who had been the bass player for all but two years since 1976, became ill. Bolder gave the band his blessing to continue with Rimmer before he passed away last year at the age of 62 after a battle with cancer. The album was produced by Mike Paxman, who has worked with Asia and Status Quo.
