I have only been back to work for a few weeks so I'm no expert, but this is what has worked itself out so far -
-I only have time to feed baby once in the morning, usually only 1 boob for about 15-20 minutes. That's just how it is for me.
-Pump as soon as I get to work, and that's usually my highest yield pump of the day. (~ 5-7 oz)
-Pump again 2 hours later. (~ 3-4 oz)
-Pump again 3 hours later. (~ 2-3 oz, or sometimes less)
-Feed baby approx. 3-4 hours later. I tell daycare not to feed her after 4 PM.
-Top baby off 1.5 hours later before bed.
-Baby eats 2x during the night.
I'm still working out the kinks in this. I find if I leave too little time between last pump of the day and feeding baby, my supply is too low and doesn't satisfy her. If I don't get much from the first pump I will probably try to squeeze in an additional pump between pump #2 & 3 to make up for it. I also try to pump while I'm on phone calls and just let the pump run for awhile after I'm empty - I aim to pump at least 20 minutes, even though I'm usually done by 10. I also use the "stimulation phase" of the PISA to get additional letdowns, even though they don't yield that much milk. Also still working out how much to give baby at day care. I send her with 4 bottles, with between 3.5-5 oz in each (usually about 15 oz total). She usually drinks around 12 oz.

Today's quick take: Aisle and isle are pronounced the same, but they are very different words. I've seen the wrong one used in challenge entries several times.
An aisle is a narrow walkway, such as the one between rows of seats in a church or a theater.
An isle is a small island.
Too often, an entry will have a sentence like this:
Sharon walked down the isle and took the hand of her handsome groom.
Unless they're getting married on the beach, the writer probably meant aisle.
Continuing with my series based on the Challenge Judging Criteria—this week I'll look at the well-constructed poem. Apologies to any of you who heard my presentation on poetry at the conference last year; I'll be covering much of the same material (although in less detail).
This lesson can only give you the tiniest smidgeon of the characteristics of well-constructed poetry. My goal is merely to get you to pick out an item or two that you might consider trying in order to improve your poetic skills. If you see something here that interests you, please do some self-paced research and practice.
1. If you write traditional, rhyming poetry, rhyme well.
a. avoid predictable, clichéd rhymes (love/above, girl/curl)
b. rhyme interesting words—words with more than one syllable, 'salsa' words, comical words. Google Stephen Sondheim and study his lyrics to almost any song for some eye-opening rhyming skills
c. use internal rhyme
d. avoid forced rhymes—choosing a word simply because you needed a rhyme, and forcing the words of the rest of that line to make that word work
e. use slant (inexact) rhyme
f. vary your rhyme schemes. Instead of rhyming the 1st and 3rd lines and the 2nd and 4th, switch it up in any number of interesting ways
g. use RhymeZone.com as an excellent resource for rhyming words
2. If you write traditional poetry, master meter.
a. count the number of syllables in each line. There should be a pattern. NOTE: you do not have to have the same number of syllables in each line—just a consistent pattern. Quick practice—count out the syllables of each line of "Amazing Grace", tapping your fingers for each syllable. Do you hear the 8,6,8,6 syllable count? That's just one of thousands of possible meters—but a good one for beginners.
b. count the stressed and unstressed syllables in each line. There should be a pattern. The most common pattern consists of alternate stressed and unstressed syllables, but there are many other ways to do it. Figure out a pattern, and stick to it.
c. Once you've mastered a and b—you know who you are—write more interesting meters. I've written about this before, so I'll move on. Some poets are definitely stuck in the 8,6,8,6 groove.
3. If you write free verse—use poetic language. Free verse is more than just prose written in varying line lengths. The free verse poet uses language differently from the prose writer.
a. vary your syntax (the order of words in a sentence/line)
b. use imagery—a free verse poem should not be overly abstract. Imagery consists of words that appeal to your senses.
c. use figurative language: metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, symbolism
d. choose words for their sounds: assonance, consonance, alliteration, repetition, onomatopoeia
e. toss the rules of punctuation and capitalization out the window—but have a reason for doing so; everything you do should enhance the meaning of the poem
4. Use enjambment—where you carry on a thought from one line to the next without punctuation—and then you put the punctuation where it would naturally fall, even if it's in the middle of a line. I used too much of it in my sonnet Defiance, but it should give you the idea. Not every line needs to end with punctuation or even a 'mental pause'.
HOMEWORK: You have a choice.
1. Ask a question about well-crafted poetry. OR…
2. Add your own item to this list—what do you think makes the difference between a well-crafted poem and a mediocre one? OR…
3. Find a poem that you think is well-crafted, either here on FaithWriters or elsewhere. Post no more than 8 lines of it, and tell what makes it excellent. OR…
4. Write a stanza or two, incorporating one of the listed skills above. Let me know which one you were using (internal rhyme, for example, or metaphor, or any of the others…it'll help me to respond if I know what I'm looking for).

House Is Built in A Day in Culver City
January 16, 2014
USModular Home Builders was in Culver City recently to assemble a two- story home with 1,800 square feet of living space.
The home was built in four modules, three on the first floor and one on the second floor and includes three bedrooms, three baths, a two- car garage and a second floor deck. The site went from a foundation to a two- story home in less than one day.
Finishing the trim and connecting all the electric and plumbing to the street will take another 30 days. Finishes on the home include walnut flooring, GE Energy Star Stainless Steel Appliance Package, granite countertops and a tankless water heater.
This home, while seeming to magically appear in one day in Culver City, was actually built to the same building codes and standards as traditional site-built homes, but inside of a building center with state of the art equipment and green techniques and materials.
This method of constructing a home requires up to 30% more wood to enhance structural integrity and it arrived on site with windows, doors, electrical, plumbing, flooring, fixtures, appliances and roofing all having been installed at the building center.
USModular Home Builders prides itself on being the newest, greenest construction technology on the market--Off-Site, or Modular Construction. Off-Site Construction is fast and efficient because it utilizes skilled craftsman in a controlled environment; working together on an assembly line to build a home.
Henry Ford realized it was much more efficient to sequentially assemble a car on an assembly line. Home builders are now realizing that the production line model is a more efficient, greener method to build a home as well.

I love Olivia's books so naturally when I finish one of her books I run to her website to see when the next one is coming out. I have been super excited for Trey's book, but I do have to admit to one thing...
When I first read the plot for DOUBLE TIME, I was naturally excited for the book to come out. But, the entire plot changed before the book was released and I am SO happy that it changed. This book is all the more amazing because of this new plot and I think it runs with the series better than what the book was originally told to be about.
If you have read Olivia's books before (and I hope you have because they are amazing) then you know that Trey is an "equal lover" as Brian puts it. Trey likes to play both sides and both sides are equally as amazing in this book.
In the beginning of the book, the reason Trey decides to give up guys forever is because he knows he can never have Brian (which we already know about if you have read the past books). When he meets Reagan, he naturally wants the gorgeous girl with the amazing guitar talent and he goes after her like he does with all women. The only difference is that Trey is genuinely interested in getting to know her and not just interested in getting her in bed. Of course, Trey's bisexual ways never truly went away and he can't stop thinking about Reagan's best friend, her bodyguard.
In case you are worried about the guy-on-guy scenes, don't be. To be perfectly honest, they are not too many scenes and they scenes that are there are not that detailed and don't last too long. If you are still worried about it, you can just skip the three or four pages that the scenes usually last. Now, my mother on the other hand (she's only 38) found that there were too many guy-on-guy scenes but I personally think she is crazy. Then again, she was never one for the bisexual material while I don't think anything of it. I loved the book and so did my mother regardless of what she thought of some of the sex scenes.
The only thing I can truly complain about is the fact that Trey's book is the 5th book in the series (if you are going in order and following Olivia's website. And yet, the book was released two books in advance (HOT TICKET and SNARED). The other guys' girls are mentioned in the book as well as a few things referencing to the other books which I wanted kept a secret until I had a chance to read the other books first.
HOT TICKET comes out in February of 2013 and SNARED comes out sometime in 2013 (the exact date is released on the website yet).
I still loved the book, but I was a little disappointed at the release dates.
**I was sent a copy of the book in order to write a real and honest review. I was not paid to write this review. All opinions are my own.**

The Bond Market Can't Be This Easy to Beat—Can It?
Bond managers are suddenly looking superhuman.
Investors have handed nearly three-quarters of their new fixed-income investments to bond pickers over the past year, as $230 billion has poured into actively managed bond funds, while just $63 billion has gone into bond index funds.
Why are the same investors who have turned their backs on stock...

It is advisable to initiate the referral process well in advance of the first date of treatment, as patients are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Once the referral form is received at Hope Lodge, the potential guest will be contacted regarding their status.
Our History
Recognizing the increased need for affordable housing for cancer patients seeking treatment in the Rochester area, the American Cancer Society purchased the former Holy Angels convent and school for girls, and converted the complex into American Cancer Society offices and an eleven room Hope Lodge. Hope Lodge opened its doors in 1980, becoming the second of its kind in the nation; the first to offer overnight accommodations.
In June 2008, the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, the University of Rochester Medical Center, and the American Cancer Society announced an innovative partnership to meet an urgent regional and community need. It would increase available services to meet a growing and ongoing demand by providing free lodging to cancer patients and low-cost lodging to organ transplant patients receiving lifesaving treatment from hospitals in the Rochester area.
Thanks to a generous $4 million gift by B. Thomas Golisano, the American Cancer Society B. Thomas Golisano Hope Lodge Hospitality House became a reality and opened its doors to the first guests in June 2010. While all three organizations benefit from the synergy of this project, the clear winners are the patients and families that will be served in times of crisis.
Staff & Volunteers
The staff at Hope Lodge Hospitality House is a dedicated group who are committed to provide a caring and supportive environment for our guests and their loved ones. We are here to make your stay as comfortable as possible, so please do not hesitate to ask for our assistance.

- Miguel: "Hey ese, you were supposed to be here hours ago."
- Toni: "Quit whining, Miguel. You got the stuff?"
- Miguel: "Hey, I'm a busy man, Toni. Next time I'll find another buyer."
- Toni: "Yeah, I doubt you'll find anybody else who pays what we do."
- Miguel: "Hehe. I like you, Toni. You got big balls. Like a bull."
- — Toni Cipriani and Miguel meet at the deal between the Leones and the Cartel
Contra-Banned is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Salvatore Leone from his home in the Saint Mark's district of Portland Island, Liberty City.
Toni drops by Salvatore's home, walking in during an argument between Salvatore and Maria. Salvatore, whilst continuing to argue with Maria, informs Toni of a drug shipment that's about to come in to Liberty City. Salvatore asks Toni to drop by and make sure the drop goes off okay.
Toni takes three Leone Family members with him to Portland Harbor, where it is revealed the drug dealers are Colombian Cartel members, with Miguel among the group. Just before the trade, however, the Liberty City Police Department and FBI ambush the deal, and Toni calls Miguel a "greaseball fuck" for setting him up. Toni receives a three-star wanted level.
After gunning down the Cartel dealers, including Miguel who actually survived, Toni takes the Cartel's Patriot full of drugs and must lose the police. Thereafter, Toni takes the Patriot to one of Salvatore's lock-ups in Saint Mark's, completing the mission.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get a vehicle with four seats and pick up some backup.
- Pick up your backup.
- Head down to Portland Docks.
- Take out the drug dealers.
- Get in the drugs vehicle and get the hell out of there!
- Lose the cops!
- Take the vehicle to Salvatore's lockup.
- Drive the vehicle into the garage.
- Get out of the vehicle and leave the garage.
The reward for completing the mission is $1,000. Provided the player has passed No Son of Mine and Overdose of Trouble, completion of Contra-Banned should unlock the mission Salvatore's Salvation for Joseph Daniel O'Toole.
Post mission phone call
Joseph Daniel O'Toole: Hey Toni! It's JD. I hear it all over: you're headed for big things. I just hope you don't go forgetting about your old pal JD when you get to the top. Right? Hey, drop by some time okay buddy.
- If the player leaves Portland Harbor without the Cartel's drug-loaded Patriot, the player will eventually fail the mission as the drugs have been "seized" by the police.
- The mission is one of two in the game where the player can acquire an FBI Cruiser, when it appears alongside conventional police cars during the raid. However, in order to store it in their garage, the player must leave the harbor, thereby failing the mission.
- You can kill Miguel and not fail the mission, although his appearence in Grand Theft Auto III (which is set three years after GTA LCS) is still canon.
- The mission is a reference to the term "contraband".
- If the two Leone members survive the shootout with the Cartel and the police, they will commit suicide by jumping in the water.
- Since a major drug deal went wrong with the Colombian Cartel, no threat to the Leone family has been in place after this mission. Just more war with the Sindacco family.

It's sometimes hard to describe the unique thrill of a wedding day to people who haven't experienced them as a photographer. There's an incredible, omnipresent pressure, knowing that you just have one chance, that you should always do the best you possibly can no matter what … but at the same time it's so incredibly enjoyable. And it's made all the more so with hilarious clients like Amanda and Mitchell (who does a mean "slap the bass" impression from I Love You, Man), a fantastic venue like Tappan Hill Mansion, and help from Tatiana's capable skills and winning ways.
I don't need to tell you how emotional the day was — you'll see that. I can only say that I shared in every moment of exhilaration.

AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB and HD 7850 2GB Pitcairn Review
GPU Testbed - Sandy Bridge-E, X79, New Games
For the Radeon HD 7970 3GB review (and all those going forward) we decided it was high time we replaced the somewhat dated Nehalem-based infrastructure (even though honestly, it was fast enough) with something a bit more current. Obviously that meant going with the new Intel Sandy Bridge-E processor and X79 motherboard - by combining support for 40 PCI Express lanes and 3-4 full size GPU slots it makes for the perfect GPU base.
From this point on, our reviews will based around the following system:
- Intel Core i7-3960X CPU
- ASUS P9X79 Pro motherboard
- Corsair DDR3-1600 4 x 4GB Vengeance memory
- 600GB Western Digital VelociRaptor HDD
- 1200 watt Corsair Professional Series power supply
- Windows 7 SP1 x64
The ASUS P9X79 Pro
The Intel Core i7-3960X gives us the fastest consumer-level CPU on the market to help eliminate the possibility of any processor-based bottlenecks in our testing (whenever possible). There are still going to be some games that could use more speed (Skyrim comes to mind) but for our purposes this is as good as you get without getting into any kind of overclocked settings. The ASUS P9X79 Pro motherboard has enough space for three dual-slot graphics cards when the time comes for testing 3-Way SLI and CrossFire and 8 DIMM slots should we want to go up from our current setup of 16GB of Corsair Vengeance memory.
I chose to stick with the 600GB VelociRaptor hard drive rather than an SSD as our total installation size with Windows 7 SP1 x64 and 6+ games was already hitting the 115GB range. Finally the 1200 watt power supply from Corsair offers up more than enough juice for three power hungry graphics cards while running quietly enough to not throw off our noise testing drastically.
Speaking of noise, for this article we are re-introducing our sound level testing thanks to the Extech 407738 Sound Level Meter capable of monitor decibel ratings as low as 20db. This allows me to accurately tell you the noise levels generated by the graphics cards that make in-house at PC Perspective.
Along with the new hardware configuration comes a host of new games. For this review we will be using the following benchmarks and games for performance evaluation:
- Battlefield 3
- Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
- DiRT 3
- Batman: Arkham City
- Metro 2033
- Deus Ex: Human Revolution
- 3DMark11
- Unigine Heaven v2.5
This collection of games is both current and takes into account several different genres as well - first person role playing, third person action, racing, first person shooting, etc. 3DMark11 and Unigine Heaven give us a way to see how the cards stack up in a more synthetic environment while the real-world gameplay testing provided by the six games completes the performance picture.
Radeon HD 7870 2GB
Radeon HD 7850 2GB
For this review we are going to be creating some interesting comparison based around Pitcairn. With an estimated retail price of $349, the HD 7870 2GB card will be going against Radeon HD 6970 2GB, the GeForce GTX 570 1.25GB and even the GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB card. We are skewing the comparisons UP simply because we were impressed with the performance offered by these cards.
- AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB - $349
- AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB - $379
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.25GB - $339
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB - $469
While the Radeon HD 6970 is getting hard to find, we wanted to include it to see performance improvements from the Cayman architecture to the new Southern Islands designs. The GTX 570 card is the most appropriately priced competition from NVIDIA though the GTX 580 is actually in a battle in some cases as well.
When we look at the Radeon HD 7850, priced at $249, we are throwing it against the Radeon HD 6950 2GB card, the GTX 570 1.25GB as well as the GTX 560 Ti 1GB option.
- AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB - $249
- AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB - $269
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.25GB - $339
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB - $229
The GTX 560 Ti is probably the closet competitor to the HD 7850 in pricing though as we'll see in our testing, the GTX 570 is being threatened as well at about an $80 premium.
Let's jump into the benchmarks!!
I think I found my new upgrade...
I think you will not be alone.
Definitely, you won't be alone. I was about to build my rig with a GTX 560 Ti to ass another one later. But now, I'll wait for 7870 wich is very close to GTX 570 but whit much lower power consumption, making it possible to Crossfire on my TX750 PSU.

Thanks for that last page Ryan, I enjoyed seeing the spread of the 7000 series cards and it will really make me think when I do my birthday upgrade. So far it's either the 7950 or the 7870.
Tough choice.
Yeah, I thought seeing the data in that way was kind of interesting, even as someone who has tested each of them.
It started with i - Phone and it has now gone after i -
Pad 2; the reason- insufficient availability. Virus Barrier X5 is often a popular virus scanner designed for Mac
computers. Typically, the My Documents folder could be the best someone to use.
Here is my page; the pirate bay (http://www.breakedu.com/)
I liked the last page's comparison as well. Shows the spread of the 7K family.
I was hoping for a little more out of the 7870 i think. Appears to be about on par with the gtx570 which can be had for $315 after rebate. I can wait for Kepler to drop and competition to bring the 7K series prices down before i make a decision on upgrading.
Confused as to why nearly everyone including pcper didn't show relative benchmarks again 7970 and 7950.
Did you skip the last page? Entire 7K series comparison.
Yeah I did actually.
Thanks for pointing that out, shame on me for thinking pcper would drop the ball like other sites have.
What he said. Thanks for reading!
I'm a little pissed now, based on the price/performance aspect. I just bought a 6970 this month!
Those benchmarks made the 560 Ti look like trash...
I like the new office, and the bins of graphics cards.
But the big question is... how much did you pay for said 6970? While the 7870 is faster overall, it still isn't available and it will be at least $359 once it hits (and depending on demand, might reach a little higher). If you got a 6970 for $330 or less, then I would say it is still a good buy.
I just got this 6970 Lightning, for around 359$. Its is now "Deactivated" on Newegg...
No second card for me it seems....
I'm not too upset since my card came overclocked, and i can clock it higher. It is still a great card.
Though I kinda wish AMD stopped selling these cards so close to release, or dropped the price more.
I got it less than 3 weeks ago, i kinda feel like a jackass now...
Well... that's still an awesome card. Not a terrible price either for what you end up getting. That thing is a beast...
I'm not disappointed with the card, the custom cooler keeps it cool a 60C on full load @ 940MHz. So some more OCing headroom exists. It is a beast.
I still wish AMD stopped selling cards that are under-powered compared to the new versions at stock clocks. (6970 vs 7970 vs 7870) Or at least some hint that these cards are going to be replaced in a big way, not just a incremental update like i7 1st gen vs i7 2nd gen. Where the advantages come from the process change not an entire new architecture. I'm just being bitter, don't mind me.
Or if you got a 6950 2gb for $250 and unlocked it to 6970 even better deal :)
How about a 6950 for $200 and unlock it to a 6970? New Egg has one for only 2 bills this weekend.
This generation AMD are first to release the cards but will suffer in the end coz the prices are inflated. Especially, the release of kepler will highlight the point. this gen goes to nvidia and there are no 2 ways abt it. consider the fact that the 7850 is abt 10% faster than gtx 560 ti, a card launched over 14 months b4. Thats not impressive. The price perfrmance thing will be the biggest downer for AMD when kepler comes out. AMD really needs to reduce the prices. and they will wen kepler is released, but those who buy the cards now will be weeping. SO i say better wait for kepler. I am also holding off my nxt rig for kepler and ivy bridge. But those upgrading should wait till april or whenever kepler is released.
I disagree with pretty much everything you just wrote.
1. Why would AMD suffer in the end because of their current prices? They can adjust the prices down when needed...
2. In regards to comparing cards that just launched etc - Nvidias recent card the GTX 560ti 448core is slower than the 6970 that came out over a year ago also.
3.Price/performance will be a big downer when keplar is released? How do you know? Keplar release date is not even announced and no real reviews are available. How do you know all this?
I'm sorry, but you are speculating way too much.
I'm not sure 7000 series are giving enough bang for the buck...or Euro to upgrade. AS it stands people are not doing a lot of upgrading.
I am a big ebay fan and no used cards have poped up lately, in any great number. (Still looking for that third 580, at the right price.)
7970/50 Likely to be toppled by Kepler. We just have to hope nvidia don't put a premium on AMD's premium price.
7870/50 are being compared to existing nvidia cards so we know this will change, so that's why I feel they don't give that performance jump that buyers now will needed.
Prices of 7xxx are high, because 6xxx cards are still in stock, and AMD does not want to cannibalize their sales - ie. clear stock. It's common strategy.
Also remember what Ryan said in the review. AMD is matching Nvidias performance and pricing all while consuming SIGNIFICANTLY LESS power (IE money in your bank) and putting out less heat. Also remember, you are getting more than 2 monitors with only 1 card if you want.
I like NVidia and i am not an AMD fan boy by any means, but my loyalty lies with the almighty dollar and right now AMD is winning.
Be careful when copying marketing graphics. The marketshare slide on the first page doesn't say "of DirectX 11 graphics cards", it says "of Enthusiast* DirectX 11 graphics cards". Where does the asterisk lead?
Interesting thought, I'll look.
By "enthusiast class" they are referring to GPUs with a launch price of $199 or greater.
"Eyefinity is still the only single-GPU option for running multiple display gaming configurations and in fact these new GPUs may actually offer enough performance to push a 5760x1080 configuration on a single card."
Been running 5760x1200 from a single 2GB 5870 for the last two years.
Right, but that is Eyefinity technology that is NOT found on NVIDIA GPUs yet.
The value and importance of minimums is not lost on you as it is on so many so called enthusiast sites. Thanks for that. On Anand, for instance, can't even tell what metric he is using, and can't be bothered to read so an amateurish review. But he uses acrap for his main box, so he is far from the enthusiast he claims to be.
Great cards, but I got a AMD 6870 and don;t see much need to upgrade. I'll probably wait for the next generation in 2013.Great Review as always Ryan. Now we just need Nvidia to come out with theirs so there will be price drops.

Ryan, any expectations from crossfire yet?
I would assume very similar scaling to the HD 7900 cards, though I am still waiting on the second 7870 and 7850 to arrive.
Awesome, looking forward to an update on this review with crossfire :)
Say goodbye to 4870x2...for me anyway.
I assume there will be a sweet discussion in this weeks podcast?
You would be correct. And yikes, that 4870 X2 is probably a hater this winter!
Thanks for the info, ive got 200 quid burning a hole in my pocket and was torn between a Nvidia 480 as there on offer or a 6950 but i think i'll wait a few weeks and see what uk price we get on the 7850.
Oh and on your podcasts please try and keep doing the funny little audio clips when it starts before the music of one of you lot saying something weird... It always makes me smile :)
I don't see much difference yet, beside power consumption, between a stock 7850 and a stock 6950, and both are having the same price. Even, I can get a 6950 overclocked for it.

Where did all the factories go?
When I was a boy, I remember traveling across the country by car and seeing crowded cities with noisy factories working around the clock to supply the country with needed goods. The nation was rebuilding after the destructive world war that affected lives around the globe.
When the country was at the height of the industrial era, terms like "acid rain," "smog" and "ground water pollution" were introduced to our daily vocabulary, and they became matters of concern. Air pollution indexes were posted in newspapers, and broadcast on radio and television on a daily basis.
Factories, refineries, mines, tanneries, chemical companies and a host of other manufacturers were polluting the nation's air, rivers, streams, lakes, estuaries and the land itself. Notable rises in respiratory diseases and cancers were cause for alarm.
Pollution became such a problem that the politicos used environmental issues as platforms to launch lucrative careers. They promised demanding constituents solutions they were incapable of delivering.
Attempting to appease the masses, local, state and federal legislators passed ordinances restricting activities like burning trash and improper disposal of harmful chemicals. Laws also forced automobile manufacturers to install emission control devices on vehicles.
I always thought those laws were strange because the manufacturing of the devices caused more pollution than the vehicles they were made to suppress. They also caused cars to burn more fuel. And, surprise…local governments could charge inspection fees to employ more people and add to the taxpayer burden.
Then the government leaned on the agricultural sector and made farmers stop using pesticides, which was a good thing. However, little was done about the manufacturers who were the culprits responsible for the majority of the dumping of toxic waste and fumes into the ecosystem. The government occasionally imposed fines, but the manufacturers paid them, raised the prices on their products and continued business as usual.
The politicians continued to insist that closing factories and forcing compliance with stricter antipollution legislation would cause massive inflation and job loss that would ultimately destroy our economy. Then, somewhere around the late 1970s and early 1980s, factories started closing. The pall of smog over big cities lessened, and air pollution indexes saw more days of acceptable levels.
Recently, I traveled through New England and the Midwest and didn't see smoke stacks belching polluted air into the atmosphere. Downtown areas of cities like Providence, Boston, New York, Saint Louis and Chicago were filled with empty shells of factories that are remnants of a bygone era. Many were converted into offi ce buildings or fashionable lofts for urban dwellers.
The country quietly cleaned up its act. Last year, the United States was 39th – behind Ecuador and Albania – in a ranking of 149 countries based on indicators of pollution control and natural resource management by the World Economic Forum.
Compiled every two years since 2002 by the Yale University Center for Environmental Law and Policy, and the Earth Institute at Columbia University, the 2008 Environmental Performance Index is based on 25 indicators.
These indicators are grouped into six categories: environmental health, air pollution, water resources, biodiversity and habitat, productive natural resources and climate change.
"In Europe, people are shocked that the U.S. ranks as high as 39th, because all they hear about are our poor results on greenhouse gas emissions," said Professor Dan Esty, who directs the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy. "Within the U.S., people are shocked to hear that we rank as low as 39th because everyone assumes we are the world's environmental leaders."
He went on to say, "The U.S., however, continues to have a bottom-tier performance in greenhouse gas emissions."
Nonetheless, fish are returning to our lakes and streams. Threatened wildlife is on the rebound, and most of the country can drink their well water without fear of contracting unspeakable diseases.
Should we give ourselves a good healthy pat on the back for surviving this drastic change in the country's big guy on the block lifestyle?
I don't think so.
We are still the world's largest consumer, and our consumption of goods did not skip a beat when we put a halt to our manufacturing practices.
We did not stop polluting. We just moved the factories to other countries and paid them less money to do our dirty work.
We're doing business as usual with a few modifications so we can live a little better in a system we can't understand.

PNC Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Attendance: 25,795
Phillies top Pirates 7-2 to end 4-game losing streak
By WILL GRAVES
PITTSBURGH (AP) His club mired in a miserable funk that's drained all the momentum from a promising April, Philadelphia Phillies manager Pete Mackanin called a team meeting before a weekend series in Pittsburgh.
While Mackanin declined to go into the "recipe" of what was said, for one night Jeremy Hellickson provided the most important ingredient for winning baseball: good pitching.
Hellickson settled down quickly after a rocky first inning, retiring 16 of the final 17 batters he faced as the Phillies pulled away for a 7-2 victory over the Pirates on Friday night to snap a four-game losing streak. It was the kind of performance that was reminiscent of Hellickson's tremendous play in April when he went unbeaten while posting a 1.80 ERA.
"In April I was making mistakes, and they're outs, (batters) were missing," he said. "That's how the game goes sometime, but tonight I was definitely better. I mixed it up more than I have."
Hellickson started the night winless this month with a 7.90 ERA. It looked like more of the same early when Pittsburgh scored twice in the first on an RBI-double by Josh Bell and a throwing error by Philadelphia shortstop Freddy Galvis.
Then just as quickly, Hellickson (5-1) found a rhythm, allowing only a two-out walk in the fourth to Andrew McCutchen over his final five innings. Hellickson was only at 84 pitches through six but left after feeling his back tighten up after smacking an RBI double to left in the top of the seventh that pushed Philadelphia's lead to 4-2.
Mackanin came out to chat with Hellickson before removing him as a precaution. Hellickson anticipates being able to make his next turn in the rotation.
Galvis and Maikel Franco had two hits each for the Phillies. Cameron Rupp added a three-run homer in the ninth to give Philadelphia's struggling bullpen plenty of breathing room.
Bell had two of Pittsburgh's three hits. The Pirates came in with some momentum after winning a series against National League-leading Washington but generated nothing against Hellickson's eclectic variety of changeups and breaking pitches.
"We got our second hit with our second hitter and we didn't get our third hit until the ninth inning," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "Not a lot of activity. Not a lot of hard contact. He made his pitches. He won a bunch of games last year. He shows the ability to do it. He does it in a way you don't see done every day and he did it to us tonight."
Philadelphia's bullpen, which posted a 6.34 ERA during the first six games of the current road trip, made sure the lead stood up.
Trevor Williams (2-3) pitched effectively for five innings before the Phillies got to him in the sixth to take the lead. The Phillies didn't push Williams around but instead pecked away, eventually moving in front after Cesar Hernandez led off with a walk and Daniel Nava doubled. Hernandez scored on a groundout by Aaron Altherr and Nava followed after a sacrifice fly by Tommy Joseph. Williams allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings, walking two.
"We're getting better," said Williams, moved into the rotation earlier this month after Jameson Taillon went on the disabled list after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. "We're getting that routine. The pitch count is going up. So we're where we need to be in terms of starting right now."
Phillies: Nava left after five innings with left hamstring tightness. He was replaced by Michael Saunders, who was held out of the starting lineup a day after leaving a loss to Texas with tightness in his left groin. ... Reliever Jeanmar Gomez (right elbow impingement) went through a bullpen session without incident on Thursday. If Gomez completes two more bullpen sessions, Mackanin said the team may opt not to send Gomez out on a rehab assignment.
Pirates: Taillon is upbeat less than two weeks after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. The 25-year-old remains out indefinitely and will undergo tests next week before the next step in the treatment process begins. "Everything I've gotten back regarding (previous test results) I've taken as good news," Taillon said. "It could be a lot worse."
Phillies: Vince Velasquez will make his second career start against Pittsburgh. Velasquez (2-3, 5.67) gave up three runs, two earned, in five innings last Sunday against Washington.
Pirates: Ivan Nova (3-3, 2.48 ERA) will search for his first victory in May on Saturday. Nova was the NL Pitcher of the Month in April but is winless in his last three starts.

ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ireland (AP) — Russia, like all leading industrial governments, has a responsibility to push opposed factions in Syria's civil war to the negotiating table as rapidly as possible and not to back a government that slaughters its citizens, Britain's prime minister said Monday.
In a blunt assessment, David Cameron conceded that a daunting chasm in opinion remains between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the leaders of Britain, France and United States about the path ahead in Syria. But he said Monday's Group of Eight talks could narrow the ground and make multi-faction peace talks on Syria's future government possible.
Cameron said Russia must join the West in seeking a democratic transition from the autocratic government of Bashar al-Assad, "so that people in Syria can have a government that represents them, rather than a government that's trying to butcher them."
Putin and Cameron discussed Syria at length Sunday in Downing Street and couldn't paper over their differences in an at-times frosty news conference afterward.
Putin was due to hold bilateral meetings Monday with President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande before all G-8 leaders discuss the Syrian impasse over a working dinner at the summit. Putin has sharply criticized Obama's announcement last week that Washington plans soon to ship weaponry to rebel forces, seeking to tip the military balance against the Russian-supplied Syrian army.
Cameron said Russia and the West need to unite behind a diplomatic push that transitions Assad from power in favor of a new governing coalition committed to elections. Russia is fearful of losing its only Mediterranean port in Syria as part of any government overthrow.
The British leader conceded his worries that the Syrian opposition forces included anti-democratic forces and terrorists, making any effort to arm the rebel side problematic. He said Britain had yet to identify a plan that would allow British weaponry to bolster the moderate opposition, not extremists linked to Lebanon's Hezbollah militia and Iran.
"We shouldn't accept that the only alternative to Assad is terrorism and violence. We should be on the side of Syrians who want a democratic and peaceful future for their country and one without the man who is currently using chemical weapons against them," Cameron said.

Geneva: Swiss police say a bus carrying members of the Marcus Miller Band, an American jazz band, has overturned on a busy highway, killing the driver and injuring several musicians.
Police in the central canton (state) of Uri said the German-registered private bus tipped over today as it drove into a bend and came to a rest on its side.
A police statement said the bus was carrying 13 people: two drivers and 11 members of the band, who were on their way from Monte Carlo to the Dutch town of Hengelo.
One of the drivers suffered fatal injuries. Several people were injured and taken to hospitals; police say none of them have life-threatening injuries.
The cause wasn`t immediately clear. It appears no other vehicles were involved.

(StatePoint) With summer travel season upon us, families across the country are taking to the open road for family road trips. But while the destination always leads to excitement, oftentimes the long car ride can be a drag.
Instead of listening to hours of "Are we there yet?" from the kids, there are ways to keep them — and parents — entertained while on the highway.
Try using these four tips to add some fun to long summer vacation car rides:
One way to combat boredom in travel-weary children is to pack surprises for the kids. Just as you notice children's restlessness reaching peak levels, break out a surprise to assuage their monotony.
The surprises don't have to be big — maybe a new book, a favorite snack or a small toy — but it will do the trick of keeping them occupied.
Classic Travel Games
No long car ride with the family is complete without playing a few classic travel games. Games like I Spy, Name That Tune and the License Plate Game will help pass the time and keep children and you engaged during the trip. Car games are also a great way for the family to bond during the journey!
Sometimes the best way to stay entertained in the car is to bring along some comforts of home. Watching movies and TV shows on tablets are increasingly popular options for travel entertainment, but sometimes there isn't Internet connection or enough storage on your device.
However, new technology now can let you pack all those favorite family movies and music for the ride and the hotel. For example, the HP Pocket Playlist can store 32 GB of content that you can stream to your smartphone, Slate 7 or any other Android or iOS device. You can stream video to three devices at once, or audio to five. So Mom can watch her reality show, grandma can listen to music, and the kids can watch cartoons all at the same time. For more information on technology that's great for summer travel, visit www.hp.com.
Easy Listening
Sometimes the perfect playlist can make a long drive fly by with a sing-along. Prepare a playlist the whole family will enjoy by letting each person in the car select a few favorite songs. Audio books are another great way to pass the time; everyone can get immersed in the story together and then discuss it when it's done.
Long car trips don't have to be a bore. With some easy tips and tricks, the journey can be just as fun as the destination.

The first day, for example, is called after the Sun, which is the first among all the stars, in order that this day be before all the other days.
My problem is that in my translation, which refers to the Sun, which in a Sole is in the ablative. So doesn't that mean that the ablative relative pronoun quo should have been used?

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 30, 2013) - International Samuel Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ISS) (the "Company") is pleased to announce results from its 2012 exploration program on the company's 100% owned, 32,164.59 hectare, Frog Property. The property is located approximately 170 kilometres east-southeast of Dease Lake, British Columbia.
The company undertook an extensive exploration program on the Frog Property consisting of a multi-phase and multi-disciplinary program including: regional reconnaissance, detailed prospecting of the eastern half of the claims block, talus slope sampling, detailed petrologic analysis of the outcrop and subcrop mineralization and fluid inclusion studies (results still pending).
The overall Frog Property geology, in the Stikine Mountain Range, is underlain by rocks of the Quesnel terrane that includes the mid-Triassic to lower-Jurassic Takla Group mafic volcanics and the mid-Triassic Lunar Creek ultramafic complex. The oldest lithologies in the region are Stikine terrane mixed metamorphosed greenstone and undivided sediments of the Asitka Group.
As a result of the collection of 544 widely spaced grab rock samples the company has identified three distinct areas of interest on the southern half of the Frog Property. The Forex and Whoa Prospects are 6 km by 4.6 km and 2.8 km by 1.5 km in size, respectively, see map below.
Forex Prospect
430 rock samples were collected on the Forex Prospect during the 2012 exploration program. The results of this work define a copper-silver-gold and overlapping molybdenum-rhenium with an aerial extent of 6 km by 4.6 km. The Forex Prospect is fault bounded on the east, west and south. Within the prospect, the main valleys are faulted with the south wall nearly vertical indicating uplift.
Based on preliminary observations there are two major rock types identified in the area. The first rock type, found along the ridge line of this prospect, is a biotite-hornfels-schist that is in contact with the granitoids beneath. The schist is strongly foliated with variable penetrative cleavages that show biotite and magnetite alteration and copper-iron sulphide mineralization, along with chalcopyrite and bornite that is inter-grown. The second rock type, the underlying granitoids are of variable compositions and display a complex history of multiple intrusions and range in composition from granites/granosyenites to syenodiorites with rare diorites, and are intensely jointed with fine penetrative cleavages.
The Forex Prospect, as well as the all the samples collected to date, display early overprinting by a magnetite. In general, the granitoid rocks of the Forex Prospect have been variably silica-clay flooded and shows variable magnetite-biotite-silica-iron and copper sulphides, which are found in miarolitic and other secondary cavities associated with mosaic clay flooding. The alteration and mineralization assemblages in the granitoids are also found in cleavages and joints. In the biotite hornfels schist this alteration and mineralization assemblage is found along foliation and cleavages/joints and can form discontinuous lenses.
Also seen in the Forex Prospect are abundant primary and secondary copper carbonates associated with the copper sulphides and separately such as malachite, azurite, chrysocolla and chalcanthite.
Of the 430 rock samples collected on the property, 101 of them returned copper values of 0.1% or higher. See table below for select assay results for the copper-silver-gold area. (copper values ranged from zero to 4.28%, silver values ranged zero to 66.3 ppm and the gold values ranges from zero to 0.4 ppm) Nine samples within the area returned copper values above 1% with gold grades ranging 0.5 to 4 g/t. Sample 129606 was a grab from talus and was strongly mineralized, containing 4.28% copper and 4 g/t gold.
28 of the widely spaced samples on the Forex Prospect had elevated molybdenum from 101 ppm to 4270 ppm with an average of 724 ppm. The molybdenum appears to be associated with rhenium ranging from 0.04 ppm to 1.245 ppm with an average for the same 29 samples.
Whoa Prospect
57 rock samples were collected on the Whoa Prospect in the 2012 exploration program. The Whoa Prospect is located directly west of Forex Prospect. The geology of the Whoa Prospect is similar to the Forex Prospect with one sample showing skarn style mineralization in the contact biotite hornfels schist (Sample 129355). The result of widely spaced grab samples the copper-silver anomaly was identified with an aerial extent of 2.8 km by 1.5 km (copper values ranged from zero to 0.612% and silver values ranged zero to 18.45 ppm). See table below for select assay results for the copper-silver area
Sample 12935 is a massive, black-grey rock, with medium green parallel thin banding (<2mm), and appears to be fresh quartzite with abundant mosaic silica outlined with epidote-clay. The weathered surfaces look like a gossan or lattice framework producing pseudo-gossan typical of silicified skarn. There is also a 1.5 cm thick well-brecciated cross-cutting vein of orange stained/impregnated clear grey quartz. Select assays results in table below.
In addition to the identification of prospects, the company undertook a property-wide helicopter supported aerial geological reconnaissance mapping, including gossan mapping. The company has only started to investigate a few of the known gossans at the Whoa and Forex Prospects.
All rock samples were transported to ALS Laboratory Group in North Vancouver and underwent an Ultratrace-trace 51 element Aqua Regia ICP analysis (ME-MS41). The subcrop and outcrop samples of this program were collected either from walking along the top of the ranges or the result of screen sampling along valley slopes.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
It's the Deception, Stupid
We are the recipients of an email which attaches an Americans for Prosperity flyer, Serephin posted below, soliciting students of Madison and Rigby High Schools to man a Melaleuca call center in order to campaign against Obama in swing states prior to election day. The email is from concerned parents of a Madison High School student who confirmed the flyer is being distributed to school students as well as being discussed in school. The parents expressed concern that the flyer is deceptive in advancing Americans for Prosperity as a "non-partisan" group. Indeed their student indicates that "kids have been instructed to say it doesn't matter what your politics are--come join the non-partisan fun of making phone calls." The flyer promotes a contest between two high schools in closest proximity to the Melaleuca Call Center where the electioneering is to be conducted.
Superficially the flyer encourages students into political activity which many would agree is laudable. A cause for skepticism regarding the parent's complaints is that we are deep in the election silly season where passions run high and often trump better judgement and rational thought. As a result many tend to view campaigning complaints more cynically than at other times of the year. So what is it about this right wing solicitation effort to Idaho high school students which causes concerned parents to react as if a laws were broken? The answer lies in Americans for Prosperity utilizing deception and money to entice children to do their bidding. Worse, ASP asks those children to also participate in further deception.
Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is a shadowy front group for the Koch Brothers which helped finance the astroturf of the Tea Party. The Koch Brothers are oil and chemical billionaire magnates owning one of the wealthiest privately held companies in the world, Koch Industries. In recent years the Koch Brothers have engaged in extensive political activities spearheading the modern American conservative movement, many of which were identified in this expose in the New Yorker by Jane Meyer. Unlike most political activists, the Koch Brothers seem to align with causes from which they will economically benefit, like global warming denial, environmental de-regulation, union busting, blocking Wall Street reform, and, of course, keeping corporate money in elections. Arguably the AFP is one of the biggest sources of misinformation in the media marketplace today. PolitiFact referred to AFP ads last May as the "sneakiest" in the election cycle, rating the representations within as mostly false, false, to pants on fire. Despite the representations on the flyer, AFP is anything but a non-partisan, non-profit organization.
The flyer is not exactly a classified ad seeking employees for a $10 an hour job, which would be more honest. The flyer is stylized as a good natured contest between rival high schools. AFP invites students from the two high schools to get the most participants to be rewarded an extra $30 to the winning school's participants. Further it describes the task as "making phone calls to survey Americans in priority states like Colorado and Ohio on economic issues (using a scripted message)." The "message" is clearly summarized in the flyer in bold face, to "educate Americans on Obama's failing economic agenda". What is being described here is a push poll,
an interactive marketing technique, most commonly employed during political campaigning, in which an individual or organization attempts to influence or alter the view of respondents under the guise of conducting a poll. In a push poll, large numbers of respondents are contacted, and little or no effort is made to collect and analyze response data. Instead, the push poll is a form of telemarketing-based propaganda and rumor mongering, masquerading as a poll. Push polls may rely on innuendo or knowledge gleaned from opposition research on an opponent. They are generally viewed as a form of negative campaigning. This tactic is commonly considered to undermine the democratic process as false or misleading information is provided about candidates.
Push polling is one of the most hated and dishonest methods utilized in campaigning. From the flyer it appears that AFP will provide the script to the students, which presumably contains similar information about which Politifact complained. The students will then call likely voters and misleadingly tell them they're conducting a "survey", when in fact the caller is not actually determining how they'll vote, but instead delivering negative information about Obama disguised as polling questions in order to influence that voter. It is difficult to evaluate whether a typical Idaho high school student would be aware of these machinations. Certainly a parent has a right to be concerned.
We have no information on where exactly these flyers are being distributed in or around these schools and invite anyone with such information to forward it to us at the address at the top of the right rail. Interesting that one local media station reported in September that AFP and Melaleuca were teaming up for these efforts, stating that "volunteers" would be manning the call centers. Also of some concern is the central role of Melaleuca in this activity which has played a prominent position in the controversial Luna school reform legislation, funding full page ads in the state's major newspapers on several occasions. Melaleuca owner Frank Vandersloot is also integrally involved in setting up the charter schools in Idaho which are stylized as a "patriotic choice for parents" with a focus on "individual freedoms and free market economics." The agenda Vandersloot appears to be pursuing is concerning indeed, given his partners in this endeavor. This issue has ramifications for Idaho's premier statewide race on whether to scrap Luna's reforms, in addition to the race for president.

It does have an educational purpose, however
Students will learn how to compromise their personal standards for a pittance, in service to corporate interests. Vocational training, you might say. And if they're not quite sharp enough to discern what it is they're actually doing, or who it is they're serving, all the better. The top performers can recruit the rest of the list for the Young Republicans.
And they'll get a laptop! (They may be disappointed when they find out that's a computer, however.)
In one respect this is good news.
The contest implies they couldn't recruit enough SE Idaho residents to do the job.
And in related matters
Vandersloot ramps up his support of Luna's deform measures attempting to tie it to the Romney campaign and avoid a Mormon vote split on the Luna Referenda.

Good seats
You won't find a bad seat anywhere in the ballpark when Fisher Cats open tonight at home
By ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
Enjoying the "Best Seats in the House" last season are Nathan James, 11,Jacob Bishop, 12, Solon James, 13, and Thomas Steere, 14, all from Exeter, as the NH Fisher Cats played Reading at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader Photo)
Although the product on the field is the main attraction for spectators when they attend a New Hampshire Fisher Cats home game, Northeast Delta Dental Stadium adds to the experience of watching Double-A baseball in Manchester. That's what many fans will tell you.
"Anywhere in the stadium is a good seat," said Hooksett resident Mike Dubisz, a season-ticket holder who has three seats next to the Fisher Cats dugout in Section 114. "I've been to a lot of the Eastern League parks and even some in Triple-A. In Buffalo, you're way up there. It's sort of like Gill Stadium, but much higher.
"I like being down on the field. Here, even if you're on the concourse you can see the game. It's a great family activity. We have a good time."
In addition to room for 6,500 in the main seating area, Northeast Delta Dental Stadium has two 100-spectator party decks. There's also a 300-person picnic area in left field below the Samuel Adams Bar and Grill.
Manchester resident Kevin Beddia, another longtime season-ticket holder, will be at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium tonight when the Fisher Cats play their home opener against the Binghamton Mets. Beddia said Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, like many minor-league parks, is a fun place for children to watch a game.
"It's good value, and there really isn't a bad seat in the ballpark," Beddia said. "Minor-league baseball is all about the kids. It's affordable for a family to come and have a good time."
As a bonus, a fireworks show will follow 29 games at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium this season. The fireworks display has been a popular postgame activity at the ballpark in past years as well.
"Ask anyone what they like about coming here and most people will tell you the fireworks," Beddia said. "The fireworks are outstanding."
Cindy and Craig Lavigne are Manchester residents who have owned four season tickets since 2004, when the Fisher Cats made their New Hampshire debut at Gill Stadium while their current home was under construction.
Cindy Lavigne said the park is always clean and there's a good variety of food available. She said she likes the clam chowder, particularly on cold nights early in the season.
The Lavignes and their two daughters have been to most Eastern League parks, and Craig said Northeast Delta Dental Stadium ranks near the top when it comes to a ballpark experience.
"Altoona is my favorite because of the roller coaster in right field, and also they have a bunch of Dippin' Dots flavors," he said. "They don't have Dippin' Dots here, but there are a lot of different things to eat. We call it the 'Shiver by the River' when it's cold out."
Fisher Cats shortstop Kevin Nolan said Northeast Delta Dental Stadium has a lot of character, and teammate Deck McGuire, a starting pitcher who is in his third season with the team, called it a unique ballpark with a great atmosphere.
The Fisher Cats averaged 5,125 fans per home game last season, which ranked fourth in the 12-team Eastern League.
"You have the bar and grill in left and the hotel in left-center," McGuire said. "It's something you don't see very often.
"It's not your traditional symmetrical outfield," he added, referring to the dimensions of 326 feet to left field, 400 to center and 306 to right, "and it's always pretty packed. Good crowds are something you look for in the minor leagues, especially with a lot of guys coming from the Florida State League, where it's (only) girlfriends and parents at every game. Any time you have some fans in the stands, it adds to the atmosphere."

Many DBAs don't go beyond the default settings when they configure transactional replication. They don't know how rich a tool the Microsoft SQL Server Development team has provided. Here are some of the options you can use when setting up replication. Microsoft Product Support Services fully supports all these options, and you can find detailed explanations of all of them in SQL Server 2000 Books Online (BOL).
- You can use DTS to transform data during replication. (You'll notice performance overhead when you use this type of transformation.)
- You can publish not only tables, but also views and stored procedures.
- In configuring a table article, you can choose a different destination table on the subscriber; you can also add a description to each article definition.
- You can specify whether to create the stored procedures that transactional replication uses to replicate INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands during the initial synchronization.
- You can choose whether SQL Server migrates indexes, triggers, referential integrity, table collation, and properties during the initial snapshot. (For performance reasons, I generally don't recommend migrating these objects.)
- Article Properties lets you modify the names of individual stored procedures used for replication. I always recommend leaving the default names of stored procedures and modifying only the contents of the procedure (which is what I do when configuring forced replication in the main article).
- If you have SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later, you can use the sp_scriptpublicationcustomprocs system stored procedure, which is particularly useful for setting up subscriptions for which you apply the snapshot manually. For more information about this stored procedure, see the updated edition of BOL. You can use the output of sp_scriptpublicationcustomprocs as a starting point for modifications that you need for forced replication, such as adding the repl_time column.
- To get scripts of individual stored procedures for a particular article, you can use the following system stored procedures:
exec sp_scriptinsproc @articleid - for INSERT exec sp_scriptdelproc @articleid - for DELETE exec sp_scriptdynamicupdproc @articleid - for UPDATE using MCALL method exec sp_scriptxupdproc @articleid - for UPDATE using XCALL method
All these procedures take the @articleid parameter. You can find the article ID for each table by querying the sysarticle table in the published database on Publisher server.
- You can replicate selected columns of a table by configuring vertical partitioning.
- You can replicate selected rows of a table by configuring horizontal partitioning.
- Replication Agents can run constantly or on a specific schedule.

Trader Joe's devotees can finally break out the Two Buck Chuck and start celebrating.
Trader Joe's devotees can finally break out the Two Buck Chuck and start celebrating: The store's Wilmington location is opening Friday.
But motorists who already see the intersection of College Road and Oleander Drive as a hassle and the store's neighbors are likely to be more leery of the supermarket, at least at first.
"It's going to be a traffic jam, I'm sure, but I'm just waiting to see how they load in and out," said Billie Granger, who lives across the street from Trader Joe's on 47th Street.
Motorists can turn into the Trader Joe's parking lot from the northbound lanes of South College Road or from South 47th Street.
Drivers headed south on South College Road can turn left onto Peachtree Avenue and use the South 47th Street entrance.
The Friends School of Wilmington has a campus for preschoolers to second-graders on Pine Grove Drive, around the corner from Trader Joe's 47th Street entrance.
"There are other businesses and schools and churches and such on that same street, and we are feeling the situation will be monitored and our children will be safe," said Brenda Boggess, the Friends School's head of school. "But we're staying tuned to see how it goes."
Trader Joe's will likely have its largest impact on traffic during December, while it is still new to Wilmington residents.
"The small nature of that store should have negligible impact in the long term," said Don Bennett, Wilmington's traffic engineering manager. "Like anything else that's brand new, it's going to have a certain attraction factor in the first couple weeks."
Bennett added that traffic engineers would be monitoring the situation closely and making adjustments to the signal at College and Oleander as necessary before settling on a permanent solution.
Typically, a store is open for two to three weeks before the initial wave of traffic calms down, Bennett said, but Trader Joe's could take a little longer because it is opening during the holiday season.
Centennial American Properties, the developer of the Trader Joe's property, refused comment. Because the 13,000-square-foot store expects more than 100 morning or afternoon trips, though, the developers were required to submit a traffic analysis of how it would affect Wilmington's busiest intersection, something they did in January.
According to the analysis, prepared by Stantec Consulting Service of Charleston, S.C., the intersection is already overloaded, but store-related traffic won't slow traffic down significantly for the foreseeable future.
The N.C. Department of Transportation is planning to add a right-turn lane from westbound Oleander onto College in 2014. Trader Joe's set its sidewalks back from the curb, so they wouldn't need to be torn up when construction begins.
In addition to donating the right of way for the new turning lane, Trader Joe's painted a crosswalk on 47th Street between the Wesley United Methodist Church and its parking lot.
The Wilmington Trader Joe's opens at 8 a.m. Friday and will be open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

zombie buzzard
Nam, it is clear as turkey vulture shit. The bird was demon possessed. That is why it was out at night and why it came back to life and went after you. You are damn lucky it did not catch up to you. But I would smear sheep blood over my front door stoop tonight just in case. Would not be surprised in the least if it shows up at your place. I don't mean to scare you but this is some powerful shit. Do you have a living will, a will, and some notification of next of kin?
There are often wakes of turkey buzzards roaming the roads in the early morning hours where I live. Maybe that is their MO? I can say I have never seen just one - always in groups. Maybe it had nibbled on some sour apples and was a little tipsy or, Thor forbid, rabid??You could have been a story link we put up, if you were not careful...
Was kind of weirded out when I saw one settle on some roadkill in Mount Vernon section of Baltimore City. Seriously, the Middle of the damn city, and in the Highest Class and Gayest district....a buzzard in the middle of the road.
So, was it a turkey or was it a buzzard? To paraphrase George Carlin, check its ID and get back to us.
Okies call them buzzards... my bad, for interjecting the local vernacular.Nam, you'll like this one - there's a town in OK they call "Miama" - I realized they were talking about Miami... it is spelled just like the FL city. Not surprised they screw it up here, given it is an indian tribe name.
Here's what one looks like: http://felid.org/activities/page_24.htm-Nam
Actually it doesn't. One could conceivably be all-powerful but not exceptionally intelligent.
Nam, this just goes to show what a sweetheart you are. When I hit birds with my car, it takes a forensic ornithologist to figure out what kind I hit.
I think Nam is on to something here - this morning I had to stop for a rafter of wild turkeys prancing about in the road. I could have provided Thanksgiving dinner for half the street, had I plowed on through.
...didn't slow down because they always fly off before you get near them.
