I embraced Islam recently without my parents' knowledge. If they knew they would be very angry and would cut off my study allowance for university. Hence I tried to keep the matter secret. But on the third day of Ramadan, I had no choice but to go to a meeting at the University, and after I arrived I found out that they had prepared dinner that happened to be one and a half hours before Maghrib. The problem was not my refusing to eat with them; rather the problem was that my parents were also present at this meeting without me having any prior knowledge of that. I thought about the matter very carefully and I was afraid that they would find out about me being Muslim, especially since they had noticed my recent interest in Islam and my refusal to eat with them on the three previous days. If they noticed that I would not eat with them on this night, then they would undoubtedly find out that I had embraced Islam, and if that happened, the consequences would be dire. Hence I decided to break the fast on that day. I broke the fast and I asked Allah to forgive Me and pardon me.
My question is: do I have to make up this day or offer expiation?.
We ask Allah, may He be exalted, to reward you immensely and to bestow His blessings, both apparent and hidden, abundantly upon you and to grant you beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds. We congratulate you for the blessing of Islam that Allah has bestowed upon you and for your love for Islam and for following its teachings in the manner prescribed by Allah.
So long as you are afraid of severe consequences for showing your Islam openly, you are not obliged to show it openly in front of your parents. Allah will accept a person's Islam even if he does not show it openly when he is not able to do so. So long as a person has entered Islam by uttering the twin declaration of faith (Shahaadatayn), he has to adhere to its teachings as much as he is able to after that, without causing any trouble for himself that may prevent him from continuing to follow this religion. Allah tells us that the believer from the family of Pharaoh concealed his faith from Pharaoh and his people, as Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): "And a believing man of Fira'un's (Pharaoh's) family, who hid his faith said…" [Ghaafir 40:28]. Some of the Sahaabah (Prophet's Companions) became Muslim in the early days, when the Muslims were in a weak position in Makkah, and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) encouraged them to conceal their Islam for fear of trouble. One of these people was the great Sahaabi Abu Dharr al-Ghifaari (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "O Abu Dharr, conceal this matter and go back to your own land, then when you hear that we have begun to prevail, come (and join us)."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3328
As you broke the fast on that day because of your parents' presence, as you mention, and your fear of dire consequences if you did not break the fast, then you are excused for breaking the fast. But you have to make up that day whenever you are able to do so and are confident that no harm will befall you as a result. And you do not have to offer expiation for that day.
We ask Allah to enable you to do that which pleases Him.
For more information please see the answer to question no. 165426
And Allah knows best.

Deputies find alligators guarding marijuana plants after responding to shooting
OLYMPIA, Wash. – Thurston County Sheriff's deputies found two 5-foot alligators at a marijuana grow site where a man was shot on Monday evening.
Lieutenant Greg Elwin says deputies responded to the scene in the Scott Lake area south of Olympia when a man called 911 to say he had shot another man.
The shooter told investigators that he fired in self defense, but investigators say they believe he actually shot the other man during a drug buy. The 30-year-old man who was shot was taken to a local hospital and was expected to recover.
The 41-year-old alleged gunman was booked into jail for investigation of attempted murder.
Elwin says the alligators found by deputies were likely being used to protect the drugs. The sheriff's office is working with county Animal Services to determine what will happen to the alligators.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The attorney for a Salt Lake City police officer who was placed on leave for refusing an assignment to work a gay pride parade last weekend said Monday that his client has been defamed by inaccurate comments made by the police department.
Attorney Bret Rawson said the officer didn't refuse to work the parade, but asked to be taken off the motor team that leads the parade and reassigned to behind-the-scenes duty. Rawson declined to divulge the officer's name. Salt Lake City police have not named him either.
The officer felt being on the motorcycle would make it appear he was advocating for gay pride, something that made him uncomfortable because of his personal and religious beliefs, he said. He never flatly said he wouldn't work the parade, merely asking for a different duty, Rawson said.
"You are essentially participating in the actual parade," Rawson said. "It's more than doing traffic, or patrol or regular police duties."
Salt Lake City police said last week that the officer was placed on leave for refusing to provide traffic control and security for the annual Utah Pride Parade.
"We don't tolerate bias and bigotry in the department, and assignments are assignments ... To allow personal opinion to enter into whether an officer will take a post is not something that can be tolerated in a police department," department spokeswoman Lara Jones told KSL-TV.
Jones said Monday she can't comment because the officer has hired an attorney, a sign of pending litigation.
The officer remains on administrative leave, Jones said.
Rawson, however, said his client has stepped down because of untenable work conditions. The officer, who has worked seven years in the department, is upset about the way what happened was conveyed to the media, Rawson said.
"He really did nothing improper," Rawson said. "He has never shown any prejudice or bigotry to any person in his role as a SLC police officer."

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Jobs and the economy still biggest issue for Granite Staters
August 04. 2013 12:18AM
What's Important:
The popularity of the governor, U.S. Senators and U.S. Reps. garner the most attention when the quarterly Granite State Survey is released by Andy Smith, University of New Hampshire Survey Center director.
The headlines last week focused on the strong showings by Gov. Maggie Hassan and U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, and the relative weak numbers for U.S. Reps Carol Shea-Porter and Ann McLane Kuster.
But the survey also asks what Granite Staters believe is the most important issue facing the state.
The poll released last week shows people are stuck on the same note that's been playing since the great recession began six years ago, jobs and the economy.
Jobs and the economy is the most important issue for 35 percent of the survey participants, followed by taxes, 8 percent; education quality, 7 percent; education funding, 6 percent; health care, 5 percent; the state budget 4 percent, and the cost of gas, 1 percent.
"There has been little change in what New Hampshire residents see as the most important problems facing the state over the last two years," Smith said.
Jobs and the economy has been the top issue since the recession began in September 2007, and peaked as the chief concern between early 2009 to late 2010 when it topped 40 percent and approached 50 percent.
While the percentage is considerably lowering than it was in those days, the current 35 percent is higher than it has been the last two quarters when jobs and the economy were listed as the chief concern by 30 and 31 percent of poll participants.
Despite the concern about the economy, Granite Staters continue to believe the state is headed in the right direction.
Currently, 64 percent believe the state is on the right course, 24 percent think it is seriously off track, and 12 percent are unsure.
Partisanship has little to do with the optimistic view of the state's future. According to the survey, 71 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Republicans and 56 percent of independents say the state is headed in the right direction.
The sentiment is a little lower than it was in 2006 and 2007 when it hovered around 80 percent, but it is higher than it has been the past few years.
Voter ID:
Granite Staters are slightly more supportive of asking residents to prove who they are by showing a photo identification card when they vote.
Voter ID has been a hotly debated issue between the two parties in recent years. The Republican controlled 2011-2012 legislature passed two bills requiring photo identification to vote and former Gov. John Lynch vetoed both of them.
The 2011 veto was upheld, but the 2012 veto was overridden.
In June Democrats and Republicans reached a compromise to keep the law, but continued to allow student IDs to be valid identification and local election officials to vouch for voters they know who not have a photo ID.
According to the survey, 65 percent of Granite Staters support requiring a government-issued ID to vote, 26 percent believe photo ID should not be required and 9 percent don't know.
Democrats are split on the issue with 50 percent believing a photo ID should not be required, while 42 percent believe it should be and 8 percent don't know.
Among Republicans, 85 percent believe a photo ID should be required, 7 percent believe it should not and 7 percent don't know.
Independents also strongly believe a government-issued photo ID should be required, 76 percent, while 14 percent believe it should not and 10 percent don't know.
Electric Lines:
Vacation is over for some House members as committees begin meeting again after the July break on bills they retained.
Of particular interest are three bills dealing with electric transmission lines i.e. Northern Pass.
The House Science, Technology and Energy Committee meets Tuesday to work on three bills.
House Bill 569 is sponsored by North Country lawmakers and requires all electric transmission lines be placed within state transportation rights-of-ways to the extent possible.
This certainly would change the route of Northern pass if approved next session.
Two other North Country House members introduced House Bill 166 which would require the Public Utilities Commission to determine if proposed transmission lines are in the "public good" and those deemed not to be would have to be buried.
And the third bill – House Bill 568 – the committee will work on this week requires all new electric transmission lines to be buried.
The bill distinguishes between transmission lines needed to ensure system reliability and those built for "private, non-profit development."
For lines needed for system reliability, burying would be the preferred priority, but privately developed lines would have to be buried.
The committee may look at the three bills as a way to determine state policy for burying new transmission lines.
The issue is not going to go away anytime soon.
Charter Schools:
Charter school supporters did fairly well with lawmakers this session, particularly in the money department. The 2014-2015 budget contains enough money for four new charter schools in the next two years.
The State Board of Education stopped work on all charter school applications last fall when the attorney general's office told members they could not approve any new charter schools because lawmakers had not appropriated enough money to pay for them.
Lawmakers eventually appropriated the money to pay for the charter schools the board had previously approved, but no money for schools still on the drawing board.
A number of bills introduced this past session address the problem but most were killed and the issue was transferred to budget discussions.
Hassan included the money for four new charter schools in her budget but wanted to give the board greater authority to deny proposals that would saturate an area or offer redundant programs.
Budget writers eventually agreed to retain the money for the four schools, but added a provision allowing the Department of Education to audit the programs and finances.
Lawmakers also separated funding from approval so the state Board of Education would be responsible for ensuring the applicants meet all of the needed criteria, but leave charter school funding up to lawmakers.
Tuesday, the House Education Committee will begin work on three charter school bills it retained.
House Bill 243 requires charter school applicants to include the members of its proposed board of directors, their terms and other information about procedures in their applications.
Another bill – House Bill 424 -- would require the state board to help charter school applicants Improve their proposals. The bill also would require the state board to approve any application that meets all the requirements and to specify deficient areas in an application it rejects.
House Bill 435 would change the amount of the per-pupil grant to charter schools.
HB 243 might make it through the committee, but the other two are doubtful.

Looking for William IRVING/Irvine, New Brunswick Canada before 1860
I'm seeking information on one William IRVING (IRVINE) prior to 1867. How and when he came to be in New Brunswick, Canada (from Ireland).
William Irving married Anna Adeliade Seely in Saint John, New Brunswick in 1867. I have copies of the church and town registration of this event. William was born in Ireland and based on his age recorded in the 1881 census, he was born about 1808.
We suspect he had an earlier wife (Jane ___), who may have emigrated with him from Ireland. That information was gleamed from a book "A library of Stone Pages" (an accounting of grave stones in the Wesleyan Methodist church yard). But we are not sure this is the same William IRVINE. I suspect the IRVING - IRVINE difference is due to verbal misunderstanding based on pronunciation and accents by record keepers.
His three children and wife came to the Boston, MA area after William's death. I have records for these individuals in Massachusetts. All the children use the surname IRVING (not Irvine).
William lived in the Portland District (now North Saint John), according to his marriage documents, and all census records for this district have been lost.
There is significant information about the SEELY family available, but that only confirms this marriage event and provides no additional information about William or whence he came.

This is rather tasteless advertising to an almost pediphile degree, because those people look like 12-14 year old kids/teenagers.
If that's someones fetish, doesn't that belong in an adult sex game ? Perhaps it's just too close to real people in some regards while pushing forward ridiculous cartoon breast fetishes.
I do find this combination of "look at those fuckable teenagers" with cartoonishly fake breasts creepy.
Good one Jim. Nasty subject with a few good laughs makes it easier to talk about it.
Well Jim, thank you, you have made my day by making me laugh so much :D
And boobs just don't work that way. It's so weird. They just do not work that way.
If people were really that opposed to it the games wouldn't sell.
Yet they do. Simple economics dictate, and especially in times where both your industry is contracting and the market is plateauing, that you go where the money is.
I think the bigger question is whether or not we can distinguish between unnatural fantasies and actual reality, because this is by no means the first time we've been presented with unrealistic representations of humans.
I've never played a DoA title and I will probably continue in that tradition, now that I have a hard-on for grand-strategy games... But I don't understand why all the laments about the big wobbly boobs in Japanese games.
Seriously guys, Japan has been spewing some really crazy shit over the years. I use to love animes during the 90's and early 2000's but I can't look at the new ones anymore. I've had my fair share of hentai, I've never enjoyed it but I could understand people who did, I even saw a few as "artistic". But the new ones are just... wtf?! I don't like to stereotype japanese people as being perverted and crazy. But their perverted and crazy ones are more perverted and crazier than any other country has to offer.
So excuse me if having big wobbly breasts in a fighting game doesn't seem the end of the world to me. At least they're honest about it. Plus, big breasts are what DoA is all about. If I were a fan, I'd be pretty pissed about normal breasts in DoA 4 too. I'm amazed at the nerve of us westerners. How dare we complain about sexualization in other cultures, when our TV shows contain more sex than a mild hentai? Big Bang Theory has 99% sex jokes and 1% geek jokes? How the heck did that happen?! Unrealistic polygon boobs are nothing compared to that.
I just wish people would say what it is, porn. I have no judgement over what people find kinky as its a fetish and you can't really help it. If people get off to DoA then fine just stop making excuses, I saw the film, if its anything like the games then its story is about as good as a porn so why not just treat it as such. I reeeeeeeeally wish that an all male patch would come out... although all the guys would look and act the same... thinking about it even by ecchi standards DoA's fairly pants, theres no variety... wheres the Korra's and the Marcelines, personality goes a long way Team Ninja.
There needs not be any "justification" for boobs, they're fucking boobs, why should they justify it to you, who exactly do you think you are? And why would they need an "excuse"?
And yes, Japanese culture is different and they won't let western feminists trample them into changing their views on these subjects, if anything it has to come from within. If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it.
I can not believe that I get a third thread to post this in, but here we go:
Team Ninja should just go ahead and be completely open.
wtf tmi
Did you miss half the episode? A good chunk of Jim's point was the fact that they were trying to do everything but take responsibility for their own "style."
I think that's part of the "it's just our culture" argument, since Japan has a proud history of sexualising children.
I think it is fair to blame it on culture and the customers. The customers buy the games with the helium balloons so that is what is made. At the end of the day they still make the plastic ladies but without a demand there is not supply. As for the culture. Well not that I have seen hentai but whenever the women moves her nipples always trace a heart shape and come back to the center. Repeatedly and always to same path so it might as well be a short giff. So it does seem like a culture thing.
Gah! Now I see what all the fuss is about, and it is goddamn frightening.
Don't get me wrong: I love boobs. Probably significantly more than my fellow man (like, even if that fellow man is on the internet). And those, my good sirs and ladies, are absolutely not boobs. Those are sentient malevolent water balloons. And yes they are on apparently underage girls. As a wiser person than myself once said, "Do not want."
You need to remember that Japanese women look... well... childish. My flute teacher was a 43 year old Japanese mother who looked like a 20 year old with D cups. Then it's all the school uniforms and the fact that most have smaller breasts than western 16 year olds. Yes, it's a culture, girls actually look like that. But they're used to it. It doesn't trigger pedophilia in them. It does in us tho... or at least it makes us afraid that it would do. If you're an 18 year old 200 pound american, used to seeing 6 foot girls everyday and you go to a japanese highschool, you're gonna have a very weird walk...
And lolicon (lolita imagery) is quite old in Japan. The trick in protecting real children is to paint them as far removed from reality as possible. A G cup on a 9 year old is physically impossible. A japanese dude who reads that stuff will most likely find 18 year olds attractive rather than 9 year olds. Again, it works for them... might be a problem for us. So don't be too quick to judge their "culture".
I guess I wasn't paying attention to that point. Oh well, I guess that happens when I go to bed so late.
Where the eff do you people come from? "Take responsibility"? Responsibility for what, a design choice in a game appealing to a certain target audience? They didn't cause the holocaust, they didn't kill anyone and they didn't cause an uproar among thousands of people. They made a product that may not appeal to you, wtf do they need to take "responsibility" for? Does Nintendo need to take responsibility for using an Italian plumber as a video game character? RockStar for displaying the life of gansters in their games? RARE for talking animals in their videogames?
Regarding the "culture" thing, it's apparently easy for people from the US (or generally the west) to fall back on that and call it "reprehensible" or whatever, but do they give a shit about what for instance Arabic or Indian people think when they produce entertainment products? Are they sensitive about Islamic people for instance not wanting to see the female form displayed in the way it is?
This level of hypocrisy seriously pisses me off, and I didn't even buy a single DoA game since I don't own a console.
I never understood the "children" part of the insults to DoA.
Apparently people don't realize the youngest female character in the game is 16 (Ayane), which is perfectly acceptable (and legal) in Japan.
Thats not a child.
That is all, thank you for your time.
I just wish these developers would realize there are other fetishes than just huge tits and young-looking women.
Do you have any idea how excited I was when Juri was announced for SSFIV? And Ibuki and Makoto? and Elena and Christie in SFxT, as well as Asuka's alt costume?
Do you see the common thread there?
It was hilarious, but I just don't get your argument. Whats the difference between people getting off to those other things but not to the DoA girls with their sentient breasts? I understand the parts about Team Ninja casting the blame on other people, totally agree on that part, but the sex issue, I'm having trouble coming up with a real difference.
Applying a number to a character does not automatically make them that age in the eyes of the viewer.
Our perception of age is based upon appearance, and if all the characters appear younger than they actually are, and are being shown off in a sexual way.
It's just a bit odd really.
Not directly saying "They're kids", but, I'm just telling you how people could see it that way.
Maybe you wouldn't be pissed off if you weren't put words into his mouth, then thinking he said them.
"They didn't cause the holocaust, they didn't kill anyone and they didn't cause an uproar among thousands of people." Who the hell said they did? Why the hell did you bring this up? What point could you have possibly been making that you would need this type of comparison? The point that they do need to take responsibility for is they need to look at faults in the game, and admit that it was their fault, not the audience's fault that it's there.
I imagine films made in the US that would be offensive in other countries are simply not shown in other countries, or they are altered.
Then you are bringing up the story of the other film, WHY are you blaming the person who made the video and not the murderers? WHY are you lumping people in this comments section in with that trailer? It is not hypocrisy to demand a change to something if you are the market and they are trying to get you to buy their product, NOBODY before you brought up that trailer, it would only be hypocrisy if they defend that trailer, and then agree with Jim.
Silly Jim! That isn't a Fleshlight!
So how much of your budget is for sex toys these days, Jim?
No kidding. For me, the breaking point was Seikon no Qwaser, where the heroes get the power to manipulate the chemical elements at will by drinking magic breast milk. Straight from the tap.
Guys, you know, you can just make porn if you want to. Nobody's going to stop you. But you can't expect to structure your narrative around drinking magic breast milk and expect us to take you seriously. Not gonna happen.
Urgh. Jim is looking for something to complain about, and this wasn't worth the time. There was very little to it apart from shouting his own disgust.
You can say the Japanese should not act according to their culture, they should act according to a western progressive culture, but it is just an attempt to browbeat difference to force it to accord with your values. I didn't think you would be akin to a western imperialist Jim, but when people are offended such ideas of controlling the deviant really come out. They have a place they are coming from, accept it and move on.
Suck it up, it is Japan, they do this a lot in their pop culture. If we forced them to change, we would be pushing more towards sameness wouldn't we?
Yay! False dichotomy for the win!
Seriously? You have children take responsibility for things they do, but it's okay for Team Ninja to pretend it's everyone else's fault because they didn't "cause the holocaust?"
Yep. And the white haired assassin woman is certainly not a child character.
americans will have to stop first
have you watched an america movie/comic book/ video game
attractive and white
I freaking love that show.
The creator obviously gives 0 fucks about anything.
Saying that they "need to take responsibility" for something implies that they did something wrong, which they didn't. Their audience seems quite happy with their games and doesn't seem to regard it as a fault. I am not sure what fault you want them to admit to?
Maybe the "fault" is with the audience of people not buying the game, but demanding it to change so it caters to them or doesn't "offend" them?
You would imagine wrong, you are also on the Internet, which people have access to worldwide (well, mostly).
Well, gee, thanks for (somewhat, cursory) getting my point. Why are people blaming Team Ninja exactly and what for? Were there great boob-outrage riots somewhere that I missed? And how does the "culture defense" not apply for them (yes, Japanese culture is different from American/European one), but whenever the US does something which pisses off an entire culture and a lot of people are taking a lot more serious it does? (Example: YOU and the first sentence you said)
Take responsibility for WHAT? Offending a few thousand people, who wouldn't buy their game anyway? Is that against the law? Making a product/franchise that sells well to millions and spans over 11 titles? What exactly did they do wrong that they need to "take responsibility" for? That's exactly what I'm asking.
...What holocaust?
DoA5 WILL sell well. The fake breast physics aren't going to stop, or even hinder the sales. The game will ultimately be judged on it's fighting mechanics, the criticism of fake/unrealistic boobs will be tossed aside.
Jim, and other people in this thread - you can get mad, angry and rage at the teens with monster-fake tits that jiggle unrealistically. You can throw all your rage in Team Ninja.
Have fun.
I believe Itagaki himself said something akin to that in an interview several years back. Don't quote me on that however; lemme see if I can find the interview featured on DoA2U...
Here we go. I'm pretty sure this is the one.
OT: Yet another reason why many, myself included, laud DoA3 as the best in the series. Speaking purely about the breast physics, sure, while the sizes and shapes themselves were a little exaggerated, the actual movements were subtle and somewhat natural (I guess... it's been a while). Either way, the breasts didn't move like a pair of water balloons on a see-saw like in some of the more recent DoA games.
At least things haven't gotten as ridiculous as some of the lady-type characters in the Soul Calibur series, with Sophitia being the worst offender...
Addendum: Don't get me wrong, I love DoA; it's my favorite 3D fighter series next to Soul Calibur. And don't get me wrong further, I love breasts as much as the next guy (or gal); hell, Queen's Blade is one of my favorite anime (Elina and Tomoe all day). But having breasts that jiggle like a bowl of gelatin during an earthquake is a little unnerving.
Addendum addendum: I mean... just a little.
Manga, original anime or Ultimate, just to know if you mean crazy or Nazi hiding on the dark side of a Giant Star Turtle crazy ?
You're totally free to criticize these games and what they represent,
While personally I'm not a fan of fighting games, I do enjoy over-the-top CG characters and scenarios.
Much of the purpose of entertainment (in all forms) is to take us away from the world we inhabit, showing us glimpses of far-fetched ideas.
Lastly, we should probably judge our own culture before shitting on others, the west has plenty of 'issues' to work through after all.
It would't be such a issue if they themselves weren't so pushing it. I knew everything what I needed to know of Team Ninja when they essentially said that there 'big feature' was the jiggle physics of the breasts of female character. The commercial that was showed in video really shows how they see it, or how at least the publisher sees it. "We have huge tits with physics on this 14 year old girl, isn't that hot?" No, it isn't and you certainly can't pull the 'cultural' card here. The game is also (and maybe even mainly) created for a western audience, so you are not supplying your own 'culture'.

White Tea | Thé blanc
White tea is comprised of new, young tea leaves and buds from the camellia sinensis plant and is only harvested for a few weeks each spring in the northern district of Fujian, China.
The leaves are generally picked in mid-March to early April and only on days when it is not rainy or humid. Just like champagne, white tea can only be called "white tea" if it comes from the Fujian province. White tea gets its name from a silvery type down that covers the leaves and unopened buds, known as "Hao."

Take Two
March 26, 2013
Last fall, the ink still drying on his diploma, Alex Thompson '12 was on the verge of something big. A world-famous actress was bringing unusual attention to one of his unproduced scripts. All he needed was $50,000 to shoot it.
Written during the return flight from a semester abroad in Prague, Thompson's Irene & Marie truly took off when Academy Award-winner Olympia Dukakis agreed to play one of the eponymous characters. The Greek America Foundation, eager to support the matriarch of Greek-American actors in a film based on Thompson's Greek-American grandmother, lent their backing to the project, as well as acting vets Rose Gregorio and Burt Young – "Paulie" to Rocky series fans.
Thompson had been working for a Los Angeles casting agency run by Matt Lessall '93 in the months following his graduation. When Irene & Marie began to snowball, he had no professional projects to his name and no network of industry players to lean on to make his short film happen. Instead, he turned to a source of funding that has invigorated ambitious entrepreneurs in recent years: You.
Through Kickstarter.com, a popular crowdfunding website, Thompson set a goal and pitched his film to anyone willing to click a link. And, as you may have guessed, Thompson got his money. He wrapped up filming Irene & Marie in Queens late last year and now spends his days preparing a final cut for an April 25 premiere alongside high school bullying drama The Dirties. But even before his first film is unveiled, Thompson is already pivoting towards his second, and the story behind it should sound familiar. Once again, a respected actor is involved with the project. And once again, Thompson has turned to crowdfunding to pay for it.
On its Kickstarter page, Thompson describes This Party Off Mulholland as "one man telling one story in between 'Rolling!' and 'Cut!'" It's the kind of long-form monologue that Quentin Tarantino sandwiches in the middle of a 2-hour feature film, but here, the monologue is the film.
Thompson had grown restless as he watched Irene & Marie inch toward its funding goal. To keep his anxiety at bay, he began a new script about an actor recounting a wild Hollywood party. "I wanted to write something new and something good," he says, "and when people ask me about great movies, I find myself saying things like, 'Oh, it's about this bank heist, and Al Pacino plays a gay guy and he's holding up this bank and this happens and this happens and then you realize it's for his boyfriend's sex change operation.' I thought, what better way to guarantee my movie is good than to write it like I'm telling it to someone else?"
During the wait, he'd also blown through all five seasons of The Wire in a single week. Delaney Williams, who played Sgt. Jay Landsman in the series (right), stood out as somebody he'd like to work with. On a hunch – like he had with Dukakis – Thompson sent Williams the script and an offer. A few weeks later, shortly after Irene & Marie was green-lit, This Party Off Mulholland had its storyteller.
Thompson wasn't the only person pitching scripts to Dukakis and Williams, and they weren't exactly waiting around for his calls, either. So, what's the secret behind getting actors with long careers to join a young filmmaker just beginning his? Apart from a good screenwriting sense, Thompson says his experience at Lessall Casting taught him how to sell parts.
"There are many people with exceptional scripts and exceptional talent, but if they can't write a formal offer letter, they're toast," he says. "There's a very specific way to get an agent on the phone and keep them on the phone – and have them call back. Meryl Streep turned down a role in Irene & Marie in six hours, but she 'respectfully declined. If I had reached out to her without Matt's guidance, I wouldn't have heard back at all."
For the role opposite Williams, Thompson has penciled-in DePauw senior Patrick C. Corley, an English writing major like he was. It isn't the first time Thompson has gone back to his alma mater for help with a film. Coordinator of Community Service & Outreach Gigi Fenlon, who directed him in a play as a student, joined the Irene & Marie set as a mentor – he called her his "mojo" – and Duncan L. Wolfe '11 came on as an editor to help piece together the footage.
Then there are the classmates, former professors and alumni who helped finance his first film. With less than a month remaining on his Kickstarter goal of $20,000 for This Party Off Mulholland, Thompson is hoping for their support once again. Without the backing of the Greek America Foundation or a name quite as big as Olympia Dukakis' attached to the project, the outcome is even less certain this time.
Speaking candidly, Thompson admits he's terrified. He and his producer Will Trowbridge, who he met during his semester in Prague, are leaving no stone unturned in search of contributions of $10, $50 . . . $2,000. For all the anxiety the Kickstarter model induces – you only get the money if you reach your goal, period – it does give them control of their financiers, and therefore their film. But if somebody has a grand vision and the money to match, well, that would be okay, too.
"What we dream about is a contributor who wants in on the process, who loves movies and wants to be a part of them in the same way my dad wants to write a novel and sail boats for the rest of his life when he retires," Thompson says. "We want to be that 'out' for someone."

I'm a FTM w/a 6 1/2 wk boy. I'm overwhelmed w/how little I knew about breastfeeding and some bad advice I was given in the early days and weeks. I'd like to tell my story. If anyone sees and red flags or has any advice, please reply.
I had mastitis in my right breast when my LO was 2 wks. Very sore cracked nipples. I started EP due to the pain of nursing.
I started trying to nurse again last week. My left nipple is a little bigger and looks like a tube of lipstick when he stops nursing. Left nipple also looks like there's a crater in the middle. My right nipple is smaller and just looks smooshed flat when he's done. Both nipples are a pinkish purple color when I finish pumping (almost bruised colored). Nursing is painful when he latches then just uncomfortable the rest of the time. His latch looks ok. He has the fish lip look.
I have itchy burning feeling in my breast and sometimes my nipple when I nurse.
I can nurse for 30+mins on each side and he's still not satisfied. I pump off another 1-1.5 oz after nursing, top him off and he's good.
I would like to nurse when I'm home and bottlefeed while I'm at work, but I can't commit 1+hrs to nursing at night and work full time during the day and still be a coherent mom or wife.
I'm trying to increase my milk supply to prepare for when I go back to work in a wk and a half. So far i'm only 1-2 bottles ahead. I'm pumping every 2-3hrs and taking fenugreek. At 2hrs I get about 1/2 a bottle feeding. At 3hrs I get a full feeding. He's taking 3.5-4oz at each bottle feeding.
Thank in advance for any help or comments.

Lewiston Public Library
The Lewiston Public Library will be hosting a special book signing on Saturday, Sept. 28, at noon, for a new and unique work penned by three local authors. "Have Mercy; a Nursing Memoir," written in a five-year period by Mary Herbst, Maureen Ott and Maureen Weber, chronicles memories of their attendance at the Mercy Hospital School of Nursing (presently Trocaire College in Buffalo) from 1960 to 1963. An interesting time, personally, as well as historically, their schooling coincided with the presidency of John F. Kennedy, the Cuban Missile Crisis, bouffant hairdos and the publication of Betty Friedan's, "The Feminine Mystique."
With the intent to "surprise" the other Mercy graduates with a book of nursing school memories at their 50th nursing reunion in 2013, the women had set out on their mission of "collecting" stories following the 45th reunion. Upon receiving the completed books, the nurses were stunned and absolutely joyful to see that their memories had been transformed into something they could share with the community. There were 66 nursing students in the program when they began their journey on Sept. 9, 1960. Thanks to Mumme, Moe and Mary (the authors' nicknames) the history of their time at Mercy will be immortalized in the pages of this book.
Written with a humorous flair, the book is divided into three main sections, written by each woman, which pivot around several main characters. Based on a program of "absolute authority" the Sisters of Mercy created a rigorous and stressful environment - which they felt would create nurses capable of their duties. Mumme, Moe and Mary often found amusing ways to cope with some difficult situations and much of the book tells of incidents, capers and various bloopers involving their beloved nuns. The book also contains a history of the Mercy Hospital School of Nursing.
All three women held lifetime careers within the nursing field. Mumme (Maureen Ott) worked at a variety of hospital nursing positions, including public health nursing in St. Catharines, Ontario. Mary (Mary Herbst) also worked at a variety of nursing positions, as well as critical care nursing. Moe (Maureen Weber), a Lewiston resident, worked at Mount St. Mary's Hospital, Medical-Surgical floor, and for the Niagara County's Health Department as a public health nurse. They stayed close friends for more than 50 years and continue to meet monthly in sickness and in health.
Most of all the authors feel that their experience at Mercy Hospital School of Nursing exemplifies the importance of women's friendships. As they write in the preface, "...this is a shared story - a story about personal growth, struggles and survival in a new environment and a new career. It is also a story of laughter, foibles, and what it meant to be a student nurse in the 1960s."
The authors are grateful for Bob Giannetti, of Bob's Olde Books in Lewiston, for handling the editing of their work. Once they recover from the costs incurred by self-publication, they hope to raise money from the proceeds of their book to fund scholarships for nurses who attend Trocaire College.
The book will be available for purchase at www.booklogics.com, www.amazon.com, at the Lewiston Public Library during the book signing, and at Bob's Olde Books. The authors are also working on having it available as an e-book in the near future.

I get a lot of calls about speeding tickets, and some callers have excuses. Most clients accept responsibility -- they know they were speeding and they just got caught.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. I like to reassure my clients that this is not about justice. It's an unfair tax, and I'm really just a tax lawyer, working to reduce their taxes (in the form of fines, surcharges, assessments, and insurance rates - that's the subject of another blog post someday).
But some of my clients have to tell me their story. It's almost never a good story. Below I list a few of my favorite speeding ticket excuses that I can remember. They're not in any particular order.
-Update: See my new post on Adrian Peterson's speeding ticket-
1. I was going downhill. -- Strangely, the highway people don't increase the speed limit on downhill sections of road.
2. I have oversized tires. -- These guys usually say they were going downhill.
3. I was passing a truck. -- I must have missed that exception in the Vehicle & Traffic Law.
4. I was late and my wife was waiting for me. -- I could see some cops buying this one, but not at 107 mph. One guy who told me this was a heart surgeon.
5. It was a rental car (or someone else's car) and I wasn't familiar with it. -- Are you telling me the car didn't have a speedometer?
As a brief interlude in our list, I saw this photo and had to add it to this post (update on 10/22/2011):
6. My car can't go that fast. -- One guy who told me this was driving a BMW 540, which has a top speed somewhere over 130 mph. He was charged with going 90. Almost every car on the road will go 90. Actually, the surgeon from #4 said this and I checked it out. According to the manufacturer the top speed was only 105, so maybe he was right, but 105 is still a bit illegal.
7. I was only going 78. Or another variation: No way I was going any faster than 80. -- I hear this one a lot. Still illegal folks.
8. I was just keeping up with traffic. -- Again, I hear this a lot. I could almost buy it at 75 in a 65, but not at 90 in a 55.
9. He pulled me over because my plates are from out of state. -- They write a lot of tickets to NY drivers.
10. I wasn't familiar with the road. -- So you were driving faster??
One excuse I've heard worked, but only because it was true. The Trooper followed the person after to make sure:
--I've got really bad diarrhea and I'm rushing to the next rest area.
No, that wasn't me. I heard it from a Trooper buddy.
Come to think of it, there is another one that works sometimes - if the speedometer was broken or there was some other equipment problem that might cause a speed problem. You have to back it up with an invoice from the shop that fixed the problem, and it won't always work. Don't expect this one to fly if you have a ticket over 90 mph. Even if your speedometer is broken, you should be able to recognize you're going that fast.
Update: Motivated by the Adrian Peterson speeding ticket, I'm adding a couple more excuses.
11. I didn't realize I was going that fast. This may make a little sense at 70 mph in a 55 zone, but it sounds idiotic at 125 mph. When you're going that fast, you should be paying attention.
12. I'm surprised I left this off my original list, but it relates well to #5 and #10. There's a bunch of variations:
I was lost.
I wasn't feeling well. - This is also often someone else in the car, like a kid, ... and one of my favorites:
It was foggy, I wasn't familiar with the road, I was lost, and I wasn't feeling well. (This guy was going 88 mph in a 45 mph work zone.) These are all good reasons to drive slower.

You can't beat a system you can't understand
You can't beat a system you can't understand
Columnists are discouraged from writing about religion. However, I'm going to make an exception in this case because the subject we are addressing is not controversial. You see, most religions agree that at some point, we will be held accountable for the way we have spent our lives. Accountability is believed to happen after we expire and before we are allowed to enter the legendary Pearly Gates
If that is the case, I think it's probably okay to say that St. Peter, or one of his colleagues, is likely to ask a few challenging questions before allowing us to pass through those hallowed portals.
If he asks a race car driver how he spent his life, he will more than likely hear something like: "I spent my life driving a car in thousands of little circles at over 200 miles per hour until I made one itty-bitty mistake." How well do you think that will be received?
That being said, I can't help but wonder how many have been invited through the gates whose last words were, "Watch this!" Apparently, that is a common final statement among athletes who fail while participating in a so-called "extreme" sporting event.
An extreme sports athlete will do something like jump out of a perfectly good airplane with a surfboard strapped to his feet. He does this so he can surf on air for as much as a minute or so while hurtling toward the earth at a speed around 80 miles per hour.
The surfboard provides a certain amount of wind resistance that slows jumpers from falling at speeds ranging from 120 to 140 mph. That's how fast they would be falling if they jumped without the board.
In other words, if a jumper is in a "stable position," that is, falling while facing the ground with arms and legs extended, he will fall at about 120 mph. If the jumper is in a "delta position" with his head facing down, legs straight and slightly parted while his arms are extended and at a slight angle to his body, he will fall faster, at approximately 140 mph.
If the jumper were tumbling head-over-heels with arms and legs flailing wildly while screaming "I'M GONNA DIIIIIEEEEEEEE!" at the top of his lungs like a normal person, he would hit the ground at somewhere between 130 and 135 mph. That is what would happen if he were too frightened, panicked, and discombobulated to pull the ripcord at the appropriate time to open his parachute, which seems like a perfectly normal response to me.
How impressed do you think St. Peter would be if you told him that the last sound you heard was "thunk," the result of colliding with a very hard object known as a cliff while you were falling out of the sky at a ridiculous rate of speed on a surfboard?
There are other extreme sports, one of which is skateboarding down the side of a mountain on a steep road that allows the rider to attain speeds of 60 mph or more. This is accomplished while standing atop a small piece of plywood attached to four wheels that are approximately two inches in diameter. For protection, the skateboarder wears a pair of kneepads, elbow-pads, and a plastic helmet. Brakes or a steering mechanism are not involved.
Another example of these activities is extreme mountain climbing. This is where the climber works his way up the side of a mountain without the aid of ropes, pulleys, picks and bolts, or any other safety device, and wearing little more than shorts and boots.
Other extreme sports include extreme surfing, fighting, windsurfing, snowboarding and skiing.
Extreme sports began as normal, safe sports that evolved into death-defying feats of insanity. The extreme part means "extremely dangerous." As I understand it, most extreme sports involve a simultaneous defiance of the law of gravity and death.
Oddly, very few serious injuries result from participating in extreme sporting events. I think the reason is that death is usually the result of things going awry. Injuries are hardly a consideration in those circumstances.
Very few extreme sports athletes generate a great deal of money from their efforts. To the best of my knowledge, extreme team sports are non-existent. All are individual events. Professional extreme players usually only realize a payday if they win and are alive to collect the reward. If they are not in the top three, participation becomes an expense. Sometimes the winner only receives a trophy, and no money changes hands. Obviously, wealth is not a motivating factor.
So, why do they do it, you ask? The answer is simple. Although the athletes say they do it for the adrenaline rush, they do it so that people of questionable sanity — their fans — will consider them to be cool. Otherwise, they'd indulge in their eccentricities in private.
However, the bigger the crowd, the more daring they become. That makes as much sense as the sports themselves. I'm going to try to believe that it's just another part of that system that we don't quite understand.

I wanted to use different themes all over the house for christmas, because somehow I can't seem to make up my mind on what I really want, so I bought the table top trees (3 in a package). They are so Beautiful...
—Neechie from Miami, Fl

Background & Certification
Board Certification
American Board of Plastic Surgery
Certification by an ABMS Member Board has long been considered the gold standard in physician credentialing and has prompted both the medical community and patients to now inquire, with greater frequency, whether or not a physician is board certified. Board certification through the ABMS, demonstrates a physician's exceptional expertise in a particular specialty and/or subspecialty of medical practice. Be sure to check the credentials of any surgeon you are considering, and make sure that he or she is board-certified in plastic surgery. We believe the most informed patient is the best patient. Your health is most important, ask questions and do your research when selecting the right doctor and practice for you.

RevaleSkin Treatments
All of our skin care treatments are designed to give visible results. They will effectively help to reduce the depth of surface lines, smooth rough skin texture, help fade brown spots and assist in clearing acne and blemished skin. The naturally occurring AHAs (fruit acids) and beta hydroxy acids in the treatments will loosen the dead cells from the skin's surface. This allows the healthier skin cells to come through, giving a smoother texture to your skin and a glowing, radiant appearance. The collagen infused mask and ultrasound treatments help to replenish and stimulate collagen production. Microdermabrasion uses fine crystals to remove the outer layer of skin cells. A series of microderm treatments can result in improving skin texture, diminishing fine lines and dark spots on the skin. There is minimal or no downtime involved in the following medical skin care treatments.
After a consultation and detailed skin history with our registered nurse, one or more of the following treatments may be recommended to obtain your desired result.
Treatments administered by a Registered Nurse in our Skin Care Clinic:
Medical Microdermabrasion (crystal free)
Progressive Pro Peel (Vivant)
Vitalize Peel
Collagen Mask
Microderm with Collagen Mask
Derma Wave

ST. LOUIS, Mo.--After an impressive second half comeback, GC's Jordan Smith hit a 3-pointer to bring the game into overtime. Unfortunately, the Panthers could not pull out the win and fell to Webster, 76-81.
The Panthers struggled in the first half, allowing Webster to go on a 12-0 run in the game's first minutes. The halftime score was 44-28, favoring the Gorlocks.
GC came out of the locker room ready to play and out-scored the Gorlocks, 40-24 in the half. The Panthers were able to tie up the game after Jordan Smith hit a 3-point jump shot, with 3 seconds left in regulation, to send the game into overtime.
Unfortunately, the Panthers could not come out with the win and dropped the game on overtime, scoring 8 points to Webster's 13. The final score: Webster-81, Greenville-76.
Greenville's Todd Albertson led the team in both scoring and rebounds, with 13 points and 9 rebounds in the game. Tim Daniel, Jordan Smith, and Alex Mumphard each added 11 points for GC. Smith was also strong defensively for the Panthers, recording 8 rebounds and 2 steals.
Webster's Ahmed Smith was the star for the home team, scoring 29 of the 81 Gorlock points, and grabbing 6 rebounds. Roman Robinson also had an impressive showing, with 18 points and 9 rebounds.
This tough loss brings GC's record to 8-12 (3-8 SLIAC). Greenville takes to the court again Wednesday, Feb. 6 as they travel to Westminster in hopes of improving their SLIAC record.

The event has started! Zombies everywhere?!?
If you go to Booty Bay there are crates that when you inspect them, infect you with the plague, now its a disease that can be cured. Apparently though, the longer the event goes the harder it becomes to cure.

Rep grinds to do so far in Northrend:
Oracle exalted for the trinket
Kirin Tor exalted for the gloves
Ebon Hold exalted for the boots and enchant
Wyrmflight exalted for the legs
Sons of Hodir exalted for the enchant
And there's a belt in The Nexus on Heroic that I need. Wish they had more heroic loot tables up than just The Nexus....

If you log in and go to booty bay on the dock are Conspicuous Crates, if you inspect them you get a disease that after 10 minutes turns you into a ghoul with ghoul abilities like corpse explosions, mangle, retch, basically stuff that spreads the disease. The disease at the start of the event can be cured instantly, but at the time I was playing earlier this pally had to cure himself 20 times to finally get it off.

Oh yes, I was on about an hour ago on live and got infected in Booty Bay...or anywhere else they are people really. There are some people swarming around Goldshire and Stormwind. You'll find bodies everywhere in Ironforge.
It infects guards and NPCs as well.
Some group wanted to do a zombie run of Kara.

This zombie thing is a bit boring on a PvE server, since you can't attack the damn things. They're still counted as blue-shielded players instead of monsters! Also, it has no permanent effect, since it can be removed simply by dying. I was hoping that the effect would be permanent until WOTKL ships (and some Northrend cure comes with it).

Yeah that horde of zombies that came out of Northshire to Goldshire were all red while people were busy dealing with the fires. The ones in Stormwind, Ironforge, and Booty Bay were quite red.I've even seen a few in other places (Westfall, Tauran Mill, and Eastern Plaguelands). Just where ever someone who is infected goes I suppose. I didn't know they were controlled so I just let loose on anyone I saw turn into a zombie.

Meet my Voidwalker, Klaththak.
This is his threat on a mob at IQD. It peaks just under 10k threat for me but I'm sure it could go higher. That's not a glitch either. That's just what happens when you have Demonic Brutality and pop Demonic Empowerment.
The mob was at 58% health when I took the picture so use your imagination.

Loving this event, and how Shatt is a sanctuary even for the Scourge. I just wiped out every attackable NPC in the market area of Lower City, and most of the unattackable ones were aggro'd and killed by my own personal army. I also killed that stupid gnome that always spams about the daily goggle quest. He then killed an afk lv 70.

Some guildies and I had some fun with that and did a zombie take over of Lakeshire . It was funny when you see chat/vent that looked like:
-Keep puking! I need more HP back
-Lvl 23 pally! Get it!
-Bwahaha, Lakeshire will be ours!

I succeeded in my longtime goal of getting Haris Pilton killed. Tinkerbell is immortal though, she drops to 1 hp and stops taking damage.
The 70 elite dragon blood elf in the tavern that ports you to CoT is also not very elite, can kill her really fast as a ghoul, haha. She interestingly also doesn't become a ghoul (surprised Blizz had the foresight to make her unaffected by the plague), she actually dies and has loot sparkles but I have not seen her actually drop anything. Don't mess with the 62 elite Broken guy in the market area though, he hits for over 1k, haha.

Compress Backup and Recovery Times
Imceda announced LiteSpeed 2005 for SQL Server, backup and recovery software that packs a variety of new features, including Adaptive Compression and Dynamic Distribution features; command substitution; multiple compression and encryption libraries; a new console; enhanced object-level recovery; and a new licensing structure. The Object Level Recovery feature reduces restore times by letting you restore only the objects that you need. In addition, LiteSpeed provides database administrators (DBAs) with support for enterprise backup tools and 100 percent support for third-party applications. The product offers advanced performance tuning, dynamic deployment, and support for multiple encryption standards. For pricing and more information, contact Imceda at 781-229-6300, 888-763-7685, [email protected], or http://www.imceda.com.
Reduce Recovery Time
Idera announced SQLsafe 1.1, backup-and-restore software designed for enterprise-scale SQL Server implementations. The product provides compressed, encrypted backup; automated multi-server backup management; a central repository of backup and restore information; and rapid enterprisewide deployment. SQLsafe includes advanced compression, disk writing, and multithreading technologies that increase backup speeds and SQL Server availability. The variable-compression technology reduces the size of backup output files by as much as 95 percent, resulting in reduced storage costs and simplified backup-and-recovery strategies for very large databases (VLDBs). And an enterprise console interface and DynamicDeployment technology lets you start your restore operation in seconds, eliminating time wasted hunting for backup files, restore software CD-ROMs, and license codes. SQLsafe costs $995 per SQL Server instance and is available alone or as part of Idera's SQLsuite Advanced Edition. For more information, contact Idera at 713-523-4433, 877-464-3372, or http://www.idera.com.
Increase Developer Productivity
ApexSQL announced ApexSQL Edit 2.10, an SQL code editor that helps SQL Server developers create, test, manage, and execute code. The product features an easy-to-use interface and is integrated with Visual SourceSafe, which reduces the time needed to create SQL-based stored procedures, tables, views, and queries and eliminates manual check-in and checkout. ApexSQL Edit also has Intellisense capability, which helps you expedite recalls of tables, stored procedures, columns, and column values. The product's automatic T-SQL formatting can support nearly unlimited formatting options and makes code easier to read. The product's development environment includes Visual Studio .NET-like collapsible regions, drag-and-drop filing from any source, graphical execution plans, short cuts and hot keys, and Quick Info from result sets. ApexSQL Edit works with SQL Server 2000 and 7.0 and will be available for SQL Server 2005. Free 14-day downloads are available at http://www.apexsql.com. Pricing for a single-user license starts at $199 and includes free support and product upgrades. For more information about the product or other pricing options, contact ApexSQL at 866-665-5500, [email protected], or http://www.apexsql.com.
Analyze Web Data
Sane Solutions announced NetTracker 7.5 SMB and NetTracker 7.5 eBusiness, Web-data analysis applications that use your SQL Server database to provide users with scalable Web analytics and open access to your Web data warehouse. Both products use an open database schema to let users easily extract data for integration with other business data through third-party solutions such as business intelligence (BI), customer relationship management (CRM), sales force automation (SFA), or contact-management tools. The products provide custom reporting features and Web-data-management options. Pricing for NetTracker 7.5 SMB starts at $7500, and pricing for NetTracker 7.5 eBusiness starts at $25,000. For more information, contact Sane Solutions at 401-295-4809, 800-407-3570, [email protected], or http://www.sane.com.
Solve Performance Problems Proactively
VERITAS Software announced VERITAS i3 7.1, application-management software that lets IT administrators simultaneously compare performance and availability characteristics of complex applications over clusters and multiple instances. Like previous releases, VERITAS i3 7.1 comprises three parts: Insight, Indepth, and Inform. Of particular interest to SQL Server professionals is Indepth for SQL Server, which monitors and captures transactions as they enter and exit the database, letting you analyze minute details of performance. For example, you can capture a single transaction and analyze where it is consuming the most resources, then fix the problem before end users notice a slowing of performance. In addition, the latest release has a repertoire of more than 225 reports for sending performance information to management and developers. And the product's alerting function lets you know about hot spots that develop over time so that you can fix performance problems before they affect your users' experience. VERITAS i3 7.1 is designed to work with SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3), and pricing for a 4-CPU environment starts at $9200. For more information and pricing details, contact VERITAS at 650-527-8000, 800-327-2232, or http://www.veritas.com.
Deliver Reporting Services Reports in Excel and Word
SoftArtisans announced the SQL Server Reporting Services Edition of OfficeWriter, software that lets end users design, publish, and deliver Reporting Services and ASP.NET reports directly from Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. OfficeWriter creates RDL files, but unlike Reporting Services' default Excel output, Excel-based reports from OfficeWriter retain all Excel features including pivot tables, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code, macros, advanced formulas, and charts. And without OfficeWriter, Reporting Services can't deliver reports in Word format. OfficeWriter-rendered documents preserve all of the Word features that the user's Word template contains. Through an integrated toolbar, users access a data source and insert data or text through merge fields and repeat blocks. Users can then save, preview, edit, and publish their reports to the Reporting Services server for distribution. The Reporting Services Edition of OfficeWriter is packaged with the Enterprise Edition of OfficeWriter 2.5, or you can purchase the product as a standalone. Pricing for the product is per server CPU. For pricing details and other information, contact SoftArtisans at 877-763-8278 or http://officewriter.softartisans.com/msreporting.aspx.
Build Reports from Multiple Data Sources
Metamatica Software announced MetaReport 2.0 for Windows, a report-building tool that lets you use multiple data sources to create reports. Users who work in heterogeneous environments can access report data in SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, dBase, Paradox, InterBase, and other database platforms. And users can deliver reports in a variety of formats, including text, comma separated value (CSV) files, XLS files, HTML, and PDF. This flexibility means you can build a report with MetaReport and process it later in Excel or another application, put it on the Internet, email it to a colleague, or make it part of a presentation. You can save report templates and even lock them to prevent anyone else from altering them. A single copy of MetaReport costs $99.95, and a free evaluation copy is available on the company's Web site. For more information, contact Metamatica Software at http://www.metareport.com.
Cut Scripting Time
Red Earth Technologies announced Superior SQL Builder 1.5, a SQL scripting tool that lets you build complete SQL scripts without typing code. The product's scripting technology lets you quickly transform database data by using an intuitive interface that simplifies the script-building process. By using the integrated scripting environment, you eliminate the need to cut and paste individual queries to form a solution, and the environment lets you view complete SQL scripts. The product's new features include the automation of database connections and the inclusion of new script templates that give you the ability to eliminate syntax, logic, and typographical errors when developing SQL scripts. SQL Builder 1.5 supports SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, and MySQL. A fully functional evaluation version of the product is available at the company's Web site, and online program registration costs $349. For more information, contact Red Earth Technologies at 403-762-2487, [email protected], or http://www.superiorsql.com.
