PASADENA >> Earthquake experts and residents will shake up the ongoing earthquake conversation Tuesday evening with seismologists fielding questions and concerns about the "big one" which will one day rattle the Southland.
Lucy Jones, U.S. Geological Survey seismologist, and Tom Heaton, Caltech seismologist, will lead KABC's "A Townhall Meeting: The Big Quake Threat is Real," a free question and answer session beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday at The Cahill Center on the Caltech campus. Doug McIntyre of KABC will moderate, with Jones and Heaton addressing the impact a major earthquake will have on Southern California, and the necessary steps for when it inevitably strikes. The discussion will also be broadcast live on Talkradio 790 KABC.
Heaton said he has "no idea quite what to expect," and the event has grown in scope.
"The original request was to spend some time on the radio, then it was announced it would be before an audience," Heaton said. "I'm going to be there tomorrow and do my best to answer questions. I'm not sure what questions will be asked, but I assume they'll be relatively general."
Heaton, who is also the director of civil engineering at Caltech, said he plans on residents asking about building safety during earthquakes.
"That's a big part of the problem — which buildings have problems," Heaton said.
It's a timely forum to have, as the Southland was shaken up by the 4.4-magnitude "Shamrock Shake" on March 17 and the 5.1-magnitude earthquake on March 28, plus its many aftershocks. A "big one" like the 7.2-magnitude earthquake that rattled Southern Mexico on April 18 could also happen here.
"A big earthquake is an absolute certainty," Jones said in an email. "See the mountains above us? Earthquakes are pushing them up faster than erosion is bringing them (down)."

Storage vendors are out in force at the VMware Partner Exchange, held this week in Orlando, Fla.
And with good reason. Storage is a keystone of a virtualized IT environment and the move towards cloud computing. Choosing the right storage architecture can make or break a virtualization implementation given storage's central in backing up, restoring, and migrating virtual machines and their associated data.
A solution provider's customers will not know where their virtual machines and data are located in a virtualized environment. The right storage infrastructure makes sure that does not become an issue.
What follows is a first look at a variety of ways vendors are dealing with storage in virtual environments.

…Hey, not a biggie, it's only the Indians and we've been screwing them over since we landed at Pilgrim Rock … "whitey" won, they lost…
Mixed Emotions Over Wounded Knee Massacre Site Being For Sale
James A. Czywczynski of Rapid City, South Dakota bought the 40-acre plot where the Wounded Knee massacre occurred in 1968. He moved away in 1973 after the American Indian Movement occupation, and now he's asking $3.9 million for the land.
Czywczynski tells theNew York Timesthis is a fair price considering the land's historical value.
"That historical value means something to us, not him," Garfield Steele, a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation tribal council who represents Wounded Knee, told theNew York Times. "We see that greed around here all the time with non-Indians. To me, you can't put a price on the lives that were taken there."
This land being for sale raises all the same questions raised last year when the sacred site ofPe' Slain the Black Hills went on the auction block. The Great Sioux Nation was able to purchase the land for $9 million, but should they have had to buy back land that was theirs to begin with? The same question applies here.
Some still call the Wounded Knee Massacre of December 29, 1890 a "battle," but by the end of it at least 150 Lakota men, women and children had been killed. Some estimates put the death toll closer to 300.
Czywczynski tells theNew York Timesthat he's been trying to sell the land to the Oglala Sioux for three decades.
"They never could agree on anything," he said. "They either did not have the money; some wanted it, some didn't want it; it was too high, too low. I've come to the conclusion now, at my age, I'm 74 years old, I'm going to sell the property."
He told the newspaper that if the tribe doesn't buy by May 1, he'll put the land up for auction. But the Oglala Sioux can't afford his asking price. Treasurer Mason Big Crow told theNew York Timesthe tribe would have to borrow money to purchase the land.
And there's discord among tribal members about how to proceed. Some want to build a memorial, others feel there needs to be some sort of economic development.
"Whenever we discuss this Wounded Knee massacre topic, it takes us into a deep, deep psychological state because we have to relive the whole horror," Nathan Blindman, 56, one of whose ancestors survived the massacre, told theNew York Times. "Anything that might indicate that as descendants we're profiting from our ancestors' tragedy, we can't ever do that."

Good product made on vegy baze, pure fiber without any unwanted additives. Excellent to make your own safe capsules with the capsulator machine. Great price, great quality.Goes Well With:BCAA, CEE, Taurine, Green Tea Extract, Caffeine, Cinnamon, Turmeric ...
Excellent product used with a capsule filling kit as some powders taste unpleasant, easy to use and swallow, I will definitely buy this product again.
Great product and service. The package was delivered within three days in great quality.
"Haven't tried their caps yet but thanks for the reviews above. The fastest way I fill in by hand, not using a kit but just pressing the open end of the caps into a dessert bowl of the powder - like making a sand castle. This is very quick while watching favourite programmes. Try it."
"rubbish, came too swollen to even fit in the capsule machine"
"Only managed to squeeze some 530mg of BCAA per cap. Honestly, without the capping kit it's quite time consuming and, given the amount of powder per capsule, is not as convenient as bcaa tablets which retail at some 7.92p per a 1000mg tablet compared to 6.56p/1000mg of powdered bcaa+caps."
"These are high quality caps and extremely easy to use. I had a kilo of HMB that I was going to throw away as the taste (even diluted) made me feel physically sick. With these caps, the HMB is easy to take as it's tasteless. \n\nI can down BCAA/EAA powder (swallow and wash down with flavoured squash) quite easily prior to a workout but during or after the workout, I can't manage it. With these caps however, I take as many as I need during/after without any problem.\n\nThe caps work out at 1.5 pence each and I'm using on average 10 each day that I train. 5 days a week means it's costing me 75 pence a week to make powders palatable. Without the caps, I would just go without. These are an essential purchase, especially if you're a vegetarian."
VCaps are a much better buy then Gelatin Caps as they don't swell if exposed to moisture unlike Gelatin Caps. These are good quality caps and I've had no problems at all. Well worth the extra cost. I would also recommend buying a 2.5L tub to store them.
Very good product for vegetarians as most capsules are made from gelatin. Thanks for selling this its helped me out a lot! :D
"Best option to cap products like AA's, and are large enough to cap about 1g per cap. Especially useful for bitter compounds like BCAAs or combining ones own EGCG/caffeine/etc. fat burner cap. As a vegetarian I am happy to see products like this that serve my needs."

Gay Men Beaten In NYC's Chelsea Neighborhood
NYC's world-renowned gay neighborhood of Chelsea was the setting for a senseless and appalling hate crime early Wednesday morning.
Two men who were holding hands outside the Bow Tie Chelsea Cinema on 24th between 7th and 8th Avenues were approached by two other men shouting anti-gay slurs. As the derogatory shouts progressed, four more attackers joined in and the group proceeded to beat the gay men. Injuries sustained by the victims required hospital treatment, with one man in need of facial stitches due to a laceration suffered during the assault.
NYC mayoral candidate Christine Quinn blasted the attack. "I am appalled by reports that two men were senselessly beaten in Chelsea simply because they were perceived to be gay," she said in a statement released this afternoon. "Holding hands as they walked down West 24th Street, they were assaulted as their attackers hurled anti-gay slurs. The cowardly individuals who committed this crime do not represent New Yorkers and our community will not be cowed by such violence. New York City's greatest strength is our diversity, and we will not stand for attacks against anyone, for any reason."
(Via GLAAD)
I respect you very much Christine Quinn and loved your commentary but tell us exactly what is your plan of action to address this issue. Per your quote: "we will not stand for attacks against anyone, for any reason."
This happens too often and has become the norm as it did in West Hollywood, CA a few years back. It's shameful that a politician during the height of a campaign is the first to yell from the highest mountain top that this is wrong and won't be tolerated but has NO PLAN to offer the people to address this issue.
Christine in addition to your grandstanding you need offer solutions. Please show your passion in a good light. You could be easliy misunderstood without completing a thought or plan of action by further upsetting the crowd.

Priests for Life-Staten Island, NY
Contact: Eugene Vigil - 347-286-7277
Bryan Kemper, Director of Youth Outreach for Priests for Life, will represent the pro-life movement at a "Pull the Plug on Obamacare Rally" Tuesday, Aug. 27, outside House Speaker John Boehner's office in Troy, Ohio.
Kemper said there are many problems with Obamacare, including a provision within the Affordable Care Act that mandates all employers, or their insurance carriers, to provide free contraception, abortifacients and sterilization services.
"Priests for Life was one of the first organizations to file a lawsuit against this unjust mandate," Kemper said. "The suit was dismissed when the Obama administration promised an accommodation for faith-based employers. As expected, the accommodation was unacceptable, and last week we re-filed the suit. We expect to win because we have the U.S. Constitution on our side."
"Pull the Plug on Obamacare" will begin at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday with 30 minutes of prayer outside the courthouse. The rally will then move to outside Speaker Boehner's office at 12 South Plum St. for an hour of speeches. Protesters will move back to the courthouse for the final hour, 5 to 6 p.m.
Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, commented, "We are not against the goal of having all Americans enjoy health care coverage. We're just against trampling people's lives and consciences in the process of doing it."
Also scheduled to speak are former Ohio secretary of state Ken Blackwell; Jenny Beth Martin of the Tea Party Patriots, and Brent Bozell of For America.
Kemper is the founder of Stand True Pro-Life Outreach, which has its headquarters in Troy.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Under water, light behaves differently; colors sparkle, then fade. Sounds magnify and distort. Liquid cradles a body accustomed to mere air. Down and up become abstractions. Swimming equals flying. Water replaces atmosphere, and the sea floor or lake bottom might resemble a barren moon or the most riotous field of flora imaginable.
I often hike for hours on land without glimpsing a wild animal, but in water, life surrounds me—schools of small fish, solitary giant ones, scuttling crustaceans, and strange floating creatures amid waving grasses and jagged coral. I have experienced some of my most memorable and thrilling sights—a sea turtle with an animated face, tiny fish in a rainbow of colors, a spaceship-like manta ray moving in slow motion—under water.
Almost everyone can enjoy this alternate universe through scuba diving or the sport's less challenging counterpart, snorkeling. Texas offers a diverse selection of sites. Here are four of the best.

Washington Post: Policing Congress; A new office will toughen House ethics enforcement, finally
THE STRONGEST ethics rules in the world don't mean much without an effective way to enforce them. That's especially clear when it comes to Congress, whose enforcement process is designed to create gridlock and has too often performed accordingly. This month the House adopted an important change that holds the promise of ending this bipartisan lassitude. Pressed by the Democratic leadership under Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a not-entirely-enthusiastic majority voted narrowly to create an independent Office of Congressional Ethics.
This office will have a board of six members, to be named jointly by the speaker and the minority leader; these are to be 'individuals of exceptional public standing who are specifically qualified to serve on the board by virtue of their education, training, or experience in one or more of the following fields: legislative, judicial, regulatory, professional ethics, business, legal, and academic.'
The office will have the power to accept ethics complaints and, at the behest of at least one appointee of each party, launch investigations of potential ethical missteps by lawmakers and staff. If it finds reason to proceed, it will refer the matter to the existing House ethics committee, along with its factual findings and recommendations for subpoenas, if needed. The final disposition — and any recommendations for punishment — would be left to the ethics panel.
This is not a perfect system by any means. We would have preferred to have the board itself empowered to subpoena evidence. But this change reflects a vast, and overdue, improvement over the current process. The alternative that Republicans offered was a joke. They proposed to expand the existing ethics committee (from 10 to 14 members) and to require it to complete investigations within 90 days or refer the matter to the Justice Department. This proposal misconstrued the fundamental job of the committee, which is to deal with ethical issues that often do not rise to the level of criminal violations. It also misunderstands the essential nature of the problem, which is that, whatever its size, the committee is programmed for inaction.
'We don't need a new layer of bureaucracy to stand between those who break the rules and those who must enforce them,' Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said in arguing against the new board. Actually, a new layer with the capacity to spur the ethics committee into action is precisely what's needed. And what's needed now is for Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Boehner to turn their attention to finding the kind of 'individuals of exceptional public standing' who are needed to help Congress gets its ethical house in order.

Waupun man says 'frost quake' created huge crack in his driveway
A Waupun man says a weather-related "boom" created a crack in his family's driveway.
"It just went, 'boom, boom,' and I'm like, 'What the heck?'" Dennis Olsen said.
Olsen said it sounded like an earthquake when his house shook and his driveway shifted Tuesday night. It was minus 15 degrees.
VIDEO: Waupun man says 'frost quake' created large crack in driveway
"It was cold," Olsen said.
Olsen said his son and grandson were the first to see it. Collectively, they decided to call a sheriff's deputy.
"He didn't know if he should drive over it or not but he did, he said that happened to him east of here on a ledge, a wider one about 8 foot deep," Olsen said.
VIDEO: WeatherWatch 12's Chris Gloninger demonstrates a 'frost quake'
Seismologists have limited information about these kinds of things, but it might have been what's known in scientific circles as a frost quake.
The length of the crack is 154 feet. Olsen also measured the depth of the frost quake with his ruler before his son plowed over it; it was 8 inches deep and more than 1 inch wide.
Olsen said this is the first time he's ever seen anything like this around there, and he hopes it's the last. He hopes it doesn't get cold enough for it to happen again but concedes that might be a lot to hope for.
The National Weather Service told WISN 12 News a frost quake is a relatively new phenomenon to them.

- Machine wash
- Made in USA with imported materials

Rated 5 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5�by ukrane369 Very elegant and nice material I'm 4'11 85lbs and i ordered size p/s. This shirt is very pretty. The lace is a very nice material, unlike the classic feel of lace. It's very soft and stretchy. It's a little transparency so i recommend wearing a tank top if you dont want to be too revealling. My only complaint is that the turtle neck might be a little tight, but it doesnt really bother me much, and it has a scent (not very strong) that reminds me of the "hopes in a jar" from the phiIosophy brand which i cant stand, so i washed it the very next day and let it dry by itself (recommended by the care on the tag). Thank goodness the scent was gone and it didnt shrink ^_^ <3 January 1, 2013

Six Nations
'Use Manu as an impact sub against Ireland'
Austin Healey
February 6, 2013
Will Billy Twelvetrees' try-scoring debut be enough to keep him in the team © PA Photos
England will go to Dublin on Sunday looking to build on their impressive opening round win over Scotland that came courtesy of a very efficient performance. Looking back, I thought Scotland would be a little bit more physical and that they would compete harder at the breakdown but they found that difficult because of the tempo that England played at.
Stuart Lancaster's men found a pace and a pattern where they looked comfortable in contrast to the England from the not too distant past that would go through the phases but then ran out of ideas and end up having to kick their possession away. Thankfully there were very few occurrences of that against the Scots which shows that this team is really coming together. That holds you in great stead for the rest of the tournament as even when you are up against it, you can fall back into your own, familiar pattern.
Central to their victory was Owen Farrell's performance. He is currently by far and away England's first-choice fly-half and it is going to take some serious unstitching to remove him. There is stability in that position for the first time since the days of Jonny. His performances are not necessarily flash or maverick but that's not what you always want in your No.10, especially if the rest of the side are performing. If your team is struggling then you need a spark, but if everyone is doing their part then he just brings it together - Toby Flood must find his best form if he wants that shirt back.
Lancaster now faces the unenviable task of picking his team for Sunday's match with Ireland with a lot of the focus on who they will pick at No.12 and No.13. Before the New Zealand game everyone was talking about the imbalance of the Brad Barritt and Manu Tuilagi partnership but they were huge against the All Blacks and had Manu not been injured then Billy Twelvetrees would have been on the bench for the Scotland game. But the debutant took his chance, playing against an opposition that was okay, and that was encouraging.
Now Lancaster has a difficult decision - does he believe that Twelvetrees can perform against the big stars? Or will he back the combination that beat the All Blacks? I honestly do not know what Lancaster will do - but if I was in his shoes then I would probably stick with the combination they used against Scotland and then use Tuilagi from the bench as he can bring you a bit of impact.
In the forwards, with Ben Morgan potentially out, James Haskell has been good from the bench so he should start against Ireland. But do not gloss over Morgan's likely absence; it would come as a big blow for England as his ball-carrying ability is superb. Similar to the centres - they need to find that balance. Do you throw Billy Vunipola straight in? Not yet. The Irish back-row is very strong, as they showed against Wales, so England need to be mindful of that.
And their opponents Ireland will be flying after their impressive opening round win. Brian O'Driscoll is getting the headlines and rightly so. He is playing some of his best rugby and strangely, he is not as quick as he used to be which is actually working in Ireland's favour. Drico never really used to pass the ball, he used to look for that break and play. But, in contrast, he now looks for the space and the rest of the team bounce off him.
England will not have it easy on Sunday. You look at how England humiliated Ireland at Twickenham last year, especially in the set piece, and that will still be hurting the Irish. I do not think that England will get trounced like they did a few years ago in Dublin, but you have to say that Ireland are favourites going into this game. But if England can perform and get a few lucky bounces then it could go either way - but speculation aside, it is sure to be a great Six Nations encounter.
While England and Ireland are flying, Wales are struggling. I saw some suggestions claiming that Rob Howley could be out of his depth but this is harsh. The side is not that different from the one that won the Grand Slam but they are just low on confidence. They have to look inside themselves and find that extra one per cent and if they re-discover that, then they will start getting some wins.
Another aspect they need to address is their intensity around the breakdown - they were making a lot of turnovers last year and attacking from them but now they seem to congregate around that area which should be a concern. But having said all of that, as an Englishman - it is brilliant.
They will come up against a wounded French side and I expect France to win the match. Their encounters are notoriously high-scoring matches but I doubt we will see that this time around.
And you have to give the Azzurri a lot of credit for their performance against France who they took on through the middle, playing an off-loading game. They also counter-attacked and didn't always take the obvious option and as a team they were several steps ahead of where they have been over the past few seasons.
Italy will now look to go even further and make it two from two in what will be a hard game for Scotland at Murrayfield. Much of Scotland's natural game revolves around forward pressure but they did not really showcase that at Twickenham. They will be hurting from that game but Italy are looking so strong at the moment and I think they might just sneak it.

About Moriceau & Mrzyk
Rooted in the subconscious and popular culture, the drawings of Moriceau & Mrzyk depict vignettes culled from everyday life. Figures drawn in black ink around the stark white walls of a gallery or on paper, framed, and hung salon style, interact with one another in an ongoing, open-ended conversation. Ranging from grotesque to whimsical, absurd to bitingly critical, each of the duo's delicate drawings pulls the viewer into a fascinating, imaginary world. In 2008, they created 365 unique drawings for a daily calendar.
French, 1973 and 1974, Nuremberg, Germany, based in Châtillon/Indre, France

Do information workers need an enterprise-class product such as Microsoft SQL Server? They don't write code, maintain systems, or develop cubes, so the answer is no; information workers have no need to directly work in SQL Server. Reporting is a different issue, though; report authoring has a long history (long before the arrival of SQL Server Reporting Services—SSRS) of being developed by both IT and non-IT professionals. In fact, non-IT personnel author most of the reports in most organizations.
Related: Unlock the Secrets of SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services
When SSRS was released in 2004 as an add-on for SQL Server 2000, it had a lot going for it. Assuming the client had already purchased a licensed copy of SQL Server, SSRS was free. It integrated very well with the other Microsoft software, and had a report wizard that enabled quicker initial report development. The version of SSRS released with SQL Server 2005 included several enhancements, most notably the Report Models and Report Builder (technologies that were at least partially bought during Microsoft's acquisition of ActiveViews). Report Models and Report Builder let information workers author SSRS reports without having to use the Visual Studio shell. An IT professional could pre-configure these report models to meet all the report-authoring needs of the business folks. The nice thing about the Report Models solution was that it required action by someone with IT knowledge before a typical business user could author and consume reports.
SQL Server 2008's Report Designer Preview
With the upcoming release of SQL Server 2008, SSRS will once again be enhanced, this time with the addition of an end-user report authoring tool that doesn't require an IT professional to take action first (not counting security matters)! Report Designer Preview is a standalone, end-to-end report authoring tool that lets information workers create both traditional reports (meaning non-report-model based) and report-model-based reports in a user-friendly environment. The new tool is based on the Office ribbon interface that users are familiar with. The tool is very easy to navigate, commands are easy to locate, and the new Office interface it is based on is quite nice for those who use the Office 2007 suite of products. In addition, the tool facilitates local report preview functionality as well as a publishing capability. The publishing capability lets you publish reports to a designated SSRS 2008 Report Server. All data regions in Report Designer Preview are treated as tablix regions. Tablix is a new data region that combines attributes of both tabular and matrix report types.
Exploring Report Designer Preview
Now that you understand why the tool exists, it's time to start learning it. First, launch Report Designer Preview by clicking Start,Programs,Microsoft SQL Server 2008,Reporting Services, then Report Designer Preview. Once the tool has launched it will display a new, empty report as shown in Figure 1, below.
The first thing you should notice is that the tool (as mentioned) is based on the familiar Office 2007 ribbon interface including the jewel icon. Click the icon and you will see the following operations:
Save As
The New operation simply creates a new report. Open opens a previously created Report Definition Language (RDL) file. I've personally tested this operation in conjunction with Visual Studio's Report Designer. I have created reports in Visual Studio and then opened them in Report Designer Preview—the only requirement is that you recreate the report's data sources. To save a copy of the report to the file system in RDL format (XML), use the Save or Save As operations. Publish lets you deploy a report to an intended 2008 Report Server.
The Save, Undo, and Redo commands sit beside the jewel icon. They let you save a report, undo changes, and redo changes, respectively. Next come the familiar ribbon tabs. In Report Designer Preview they are Home, Insert, and View.
The Home tab contains basic report-modification options, including Clipboard, Font, Alignment, Border, Arrange, and Preview. Insert contains Data Regions, Report Items, Subreports, and Header & Footer options. The View tab contains the Report Views and Show/Hide options. Report Views contains the Design and Preview options, and Show/Hide contains the following four panes, which you can optionally show:
- Data Pane
- Property Pane
- Grouping Pane
- Ruler
These panes contain the remainder of the designer's content we still need to explore.
Data Pane
The Data Pane contains the actual data sets that provide the data for your report. From here you can access both your report's custom data and built-in fields. This section is also where you define your report's custom parameters and images. The basic premise of defining your custom data is that you first create a new data source and then define individual data sets based on that data source. The common right-click context options apply to the Data Pane's various members, including folders, parameters, data sources, and data sets. Figure 2, below, shows the Data Pane with a data source, two data sets, and an image created.
Properties Pane
In the Properties pane, you assign properties that pertain to the various report objects. Most properties have an expression option that lets you assign the property a value at runtime. You can sort the properties by alphabetical order or by categorization. If you have worked with Visual Studio you will be quite comfortable with the Properties pane.
Grouping Pane
If you elect to group your report's rows or columns they will show in the Grouping pane. The Grouping pane contains two main sections: Rows and Columns. Once you designate a group in the designer, a corresponding entry will show under the Rows or Columns sections. Once you create the group, you can edit, delete, or add parent/child groups.
When you turn on the Ruler pane you will see two rules displayed. One ruler is above the report and another to the left of the report, divided by inches, indicating the length of the various items on reports. The rulers are nice when you are trying to get items within a certain physical length or when you prepare your reports for printing. At this time, there's not a print layout feature in Report Designer Preview, though I wouldn't be too surprised to see it by the time SQL Server 2008's released to manufacturing.
Launching Report Designer Preview
1. Click Start, Microsoft SQL Server 2008,Reporting Services, Report Designer Preview
Creating a Data Source and Data Set
1. Click the "Click here to create a data source and data set for your report" button. This will launch the Data Source Properties dialog box.
2. Type "AWDW" in the Name text box.
3. Click the Edit button to create a new data source. Be sure that you use a valid SQL Server 2008 instance that contains the AdventureWorks DW database.
4. Click OK to complete the Data Source creation.
5. Click Next to advance to the Query Editor.
6. In the Query dialog box, type the following code:
--AW Fact Finance Query
,SUM(FF.Amount) AS \[Amount\]
dbo.FactFinance FF
dbo.DimTime DT ON (FF.TimeKey = DT.TimeKey)
dbo.DimOrganization DO ON (FF.OrganizationKey = DO.OrganizationKey)
dbo.DimDepartmentGroup DDG ON (FF.DepartmentGroupKey = DDG.DepartmentGroupKey)
dbo.DimScenario DS ON (FF.ScenarioKey = DS.ScenarioKey)
dbo.DimAccount DA ON (FF.AccountKey = DA.AccountKey)
7. Click Finish to complete the Data Set creation process.
Creating and Publishing the Report
1. Click the Insert tab in the main menu.
2. Then click the Table icon and a table data region should appear in the report's detail section.
3. Right-click in any cell and select Insert Column to create three additional columns.
4. Now, drag and drop all six fields under the DataSet in the Data Pane to the Report's Detail Section.
5. Click the View main menu button.
6. Click the Preview button in the menu to preview the report's content.
7. Click the jewel icon and then select Publish.
8. Confirm that the report server's URL is correct and click OK.
*Report Server URL for my SQL Server 2008 machine is http://se-sql2000-comp/ReportServer_SQL2008.
Keep An Eye On Queries and Reports
Report Designer Preview is a next-generation tool that facilitates information workers authoring traditional SSRS reports. You can leverage the new tool with Report Models as well, but this capability already exists within the Report Builder tool. End users might also need to learn SQL or MDX (the product doesn't currently include query builders). Given the tool's intended audience, I suspect that query builders will be included in the final version of the tool.
Administrators need to be cognizant of the reports and queries that end users are submitting to the organization's various data sources. In reality, several different dimensions drive who is authoring reports, and although I don't agree with information workers authoring traditional reports (mainly because of the performance implications), the trend is likely to continue. With that fact in mind, this new tool will make it nice for business users to escape the Visual Studio shell. Given the proliferation of such tools in our industry, you should take appropriate action as an administrator to prohibit business users from causing system problems. One such tool we see in the SQL Server 2008 to help on this front is the Resource Governor.

The suite at the Hotel Bel-Air where Bert Stern photographed
for her famous "Last Sitting" in 1962 no longer exists. It is now part of the elegant La Prairie Spa — rather apropos, as the often difficult star was well known for making people wait while relaxing in a hot bath. In 1972,
took refuge a few steps away in one of the secluded bungalow-like rooms to soak up the ambience while writing his biographical essay on the tragic celebrity.
Mailer, Monroe and Stern have been brought together by producer, director and screenwriter Lawrence Schiller in 278 grand, glossy pages for "Norman Mailer, Bert Stern: Marilyn Monroe" (published by Taschen, a limited edition signed by Stern starts at $1,000).
Mailer's original text published in 1973 has been edited here and accompanies Stern's historical photos taken just six weeks before the star's death on Aug. 5, 1962. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of her passing next year, Schiller, who photographed the skinny-dipping Monroe on the set of "Something's Got to Give," pitched the idea to publisher Benedikt Taschen, likening Mailer's words and Stern's photos as two miter gears coming together.
"I told him we could illustrate Mailer's text in a very unique way and bring out something in Bert's pictures that had been there before but not showcased properly," said Schiller at the book's lavish launch party last week at the recently renovated Hotel Bel-Air, where guests included
"It feels weird," said Stern, 82, on his return to the lush, hallowed grounds. "The ghost of Marilyn coming back 50 years later." His last visit was in 2008 to photograph another troubled actress,
, for New York magazine. They re-created several of Monroe's nearly nude photos from that famous portrait sitting.
"I didn't want any clothes. I wanted things — jewelry, scarves, objects," said Stern of the Monroe session. As usual, she showed up three hours late but thinner then he had expected. The 36-year-old Monroe sipped on her favorite Dom Pérignon champagne, picked up a few scarves from off the bed and giddily danced around while Stern snapped away. "She was in a terrific mood, a lot of fun," Stern said. "She wanted to be in Vogue."
Stern sent that first set of provocative images to the editors, who thought her hair looked too messy and wanted more fashion shots, so Stern and Monroe met again. Marilyn dressed in more sophisticated evening wear including a black Dior gown and impersonated Jackie Kennedy in a brunet wig and pearls at one point. Jackie's hairdresser, Kenneth Battelle, even styled her hair appropriately.
"She got fed up with the dresses and wanted to go back to less things," recalled Stern, who didn't want a glitzy showbiz photo. An admirer of
's black and white portrait of
, he wanted something more intimate, that definitive, immortal picture.
"It was a once-in-a-lifetime event. I knew I'd never shoot her again."
Marilyn died while the Vogue layout was going to press. They edited out the fashion copy and ran an obituary for the September issue.
Considered one of the original "Mad Men," Stern got his start on Madison Avenue in the 1950s with his revolutionary "Driest of the Dry" campaign for Smirnoff vodka, inverting an Egyptian pyramid in a martini glass.
"I don't consider myself a photographer," he said. "I'm a designer with a camera."
When asked if any actress today could compare to Monroe, Stern immediately responded: "
. I thought she should've played Marilyn in that new movie. [
] was Marilyn-ish, but she didn't have that kind of freedom and naturalism that Marilyn had. She was a free spirit. She was full of ideas, sexy, funny and clever."

Feeling lucky today? Starting July 30, Britons who win the lotto might come away with more than just a check. Through the in vitro fertilization charity To Hatch, for a mere £20 lottery ticket ($32), people can win fertility treatments, donor eggs, or a surrogate birth, worth up to £25,000 ($40,000).
For people who have struggled to conceive or have dealt with other roadblocks, this might seem like the ultimate jackpot, especially considering just about anyone can buy a ticket (old people, gay people, single people). And To Hatch founder Camille Strachan points out that IVF and other fertility treatments are out of reach financially for many Britons, especially since many National Health Service (NHS) trusts have cut funding for IVF due to budget restrictions, leaving many without other options. But I don't know, something about the idea of picking up a lotto ticket for a baby while you're buying your cigarettes or filling up your gas tank doesn't rub me the right way. It's hard for me to believe that Britain's Gambling Commission gave this idea the green light.

Comment on Reproductive Ethics, a public interest group focused on ethical dilemmas surrounding human reproduction, said this lottery system "demeans the whole nature of human reproduction." What do you think: is this crazy or not that big of a deal? Do you think it would ever happen in the US?

WOODSTOCK — Linemaster Switch's rural location both hinders and helps the 160-employee manufacturer.
The company, which makes pedals that operate controls in vehicles, on factory floors, and in operating rooms, has a bit of a captive audience when it comes to the potential workforce. Woodstock is far from any town of any size — and not on a highway, either.
"You have people that don't have a lot of opportunities to work in a lot of different places," said Joe Carlone Sr., Linemaster's owner. The majority of production employees live within 10 miles of the plant.
While there is a fair bit of turnover in the first year for the entry-level assembly or shipping...

37% YAK 55M G-Man Scheme Red/Yellow ARF Gas Airplane, by Krill ModelsClick Here to Download Instruction Manual
- C/F engine dome (already have a right thrust build in).
- CNC rudder servo tray.
- CNC fuel tanks holders.
- CNC F/G horns.
- Screws,nuts and washers.
3D Wings by Gernot Bruckmann
For this year, together with Gernot Bruckman, Krill has prepared some changes for the YAK 55 M. A lot of ideas and experiences about the YAK55M came from Krill's pilots. This airplane is very good for pattern and 3D flying as well. So Krill took this input and made some small changes with the set up and materials used. Now you get a stronger and lighter airplane with better flight characteristics.
Perhaps the most welcomed change is Krill have started to use a wing tube instead of wing spars. This wing is stronger because inside are two wing spars. Anodized aluminum tubes provide even more strength. So no more spars sticking out of wing bags.
Also these planes now have 3D ailerons. About 30% more area then regular ones, center hinged and removable. But this comes with a "price". 4 high torque servos (JR 8711) per aileron are needed. For all who love 3D flying .... the roll with this these wings is Amazing!
Also please note that 3D ailerons can only be made to a new set of wings at the time of your order. Unfortunately these cannot be fitted into existing wings with spars!!
Description of individual parts:
Fuselage - vacuum bagged sandwich with all bulkheads installed for you.
Wings - vacuum bagged sandwich with full span carbon fiber spar. This creates incredible strength and increases lifespan. Each wing was designed for 3 servos, all servo bays are already boxed to eliminate any possible twists when servos are "working".
Stab - vacuum bagged sandwich. Elevator part is attached using a brass rod though F/G hinges. Same way it's done on full size airplanes. 2 servo bays in each half already boxed same way as in the wings. Stabs are attached to fuselage with 2 aluminum tubes with 18mm dia (3/4") and secured with 2 x M3 screws from the bottom of the stab.
Rudder - vacuum bagged sandwich, mounted to fin same way as the elevator. For ease of transportation, rudder is removable.
Canopy/frame - only clear canopy is available. Glued into canopy frame for you and matched to your paint scheme.
Cowl - vacuum bagged sandwich. Attached to fuselage using 8-10 screws M4.
Landing gear and wheel pants - Fiber glass parts, using our latest technology. Very light and incredibly strong. Wheelpants will accept 130mm (5") wheels.
- Wingspan: 115.75" (2.94m)
- Length: 107.5" (2.73m)
- Flying Weight: 35 lbs (15.8 kg)
- Engine: 150-170cc

5 Different Decades of Dinner Parties
These dinner parties bridge the years from the early 1800's to present day, so we're taking some pretty big steps here, leaping over a lot from in between. The present day we are, of course, familiar with. And we remember the 80's dinner parties of our parents. Reaching back further, we look to television (Mad Men) and paintings...

STOCKTON - As forecasts last summer warned of a sustained and brutal heat wave about to hit Central California, San Joaquin County officials prepared for the worst.
STOCKTON - As forecasts last summer warned of a sustained and brutal heat wave about to hit Central California, San Joaquin County officials prepared for the worst.
In 2006, the heat killed 25 people in the county, and livestock deaths caused the loss of millions of dollars to agriculture.
But the worst didn't repeat itself in 2013. The heat, though intense, did not climb as high or last as long as expected. Dozens still went to hospitals with heat-related illnesses, but nobody died, according to officials.
"That was our goal: to avoid the consequences of 2006," said Michael Cockrell, county director of emergency operations.
Still, the county declared a local emergency and enacted its emergency-response plan. Now the county has released a report into the response to the heat wave that saw temperatures top 100 degrees for six days in a row in late June and early July.
The report shows what the county and other government and private organizations did to prevent the consequences of seven years ago and where they needed to improve before the next hot-weather emergency hits the county.
The experience of 2006 allowed the county to be better prepared as forecasts predicted temperatures reaching as high as 114 degrees for more than a weeklong stretch, officials said. "2006 gave us an inkling of what we had to do," said Supervisor Ken Vogel, who as the chairman of the Board of Supervisors directs countywide responses to emergencies. He was part of daily meetings to assess the changing conditions and county response.
Forecasts predicted humid nights would prevent the temperature from falling. For people without air conditioning, it could have meant no time to cool down, increasing health risks. A lack of cool-down time also could have increased the chance that electrical equipment could fail, knocking out power to people who did have air conditioning.
Government and private organizations coordinated with each other to reach out to those who would most need a place to cool down, providing information and making transportation available to a dozen cooling centers across the county for a segment of the population without access to air conditioning.
That meant going door to door in mobile home parks, senior housing and other places where there are people who might be more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses.
The dozen cooling centers were often near low-income areas. In 2006, some who died had air conditioning but didn't think they could afford to turn it on, according to county health officials. More than 800 people came to cooling centers across the county this past summer.
"I think it really paid off. People knew where to go where they could have air conditioning," county Public Health Officer Karen Furst said.
As temperatures rose this past summer, officials also met with agricultural labor contractors to make sure they knew the rules for providing shade and water to farm workers, Cockrell said. And since the heat wave was projected to hit on the Fourth of July holiday, officials worked with the people organizing events to provide cooling stations.
Losses to agriculture in 2006 topped $40 million as animals died in the hot weather. The county this year had a plan in place and was ready to help get rid of any animal carcasses, which had overwhelmed rendering facilities in 2006. That year saw carcasses illegally buried or left on roadways.
Not everything ran smoothly, however, in 2013. The county daily action plan was sometimes delayed and didn't always reach the right people, according to the report.
And the county had problems with the database that kept track of logistical information, such as whom to contact when infrastructure such as ice, fans and other equipment needed to be acquired and deployed.
The emergency struck as the county was transferring that information from an Apple to a Microsoft computer system, Cockrell said. Not all the database information converted to the new system, he said. It caused delays, and officials fired up the old computers to get to the information, he said.
The new report on the county response includes mentions of what officials considered both successes and concerns during its response to the heat from June 25 through July 7. It also calculated the cost of the additional response at about $44,000.
The county showed good preparation and response to the developing situation, said Supervisor Bob Elliott, who as vice chairman was also part of the daily briefings during the heat wave. But it could be streamlined and improved, he said, something he said he would like to focus on.
"We hope to use the lessons learned ... to be even better next time," he said.

COVINGTON, Ohio (AP) — More than three dozen horses escaped from a western Ohio farm and caused a series of crashes early Friday as they wandered on dark, rural roads, leaving three people injured and six horses dead, authorities said.
At least five crashes were caused by the roaming horses beginning at about 3:30 a.m. near Covington, north of Dayton, Miami County sheriff's officials said. Most of the estimated 40 horses that got loose were rounded up by later Friday morning.
The horses came from a family farm, possibly getting through a hole in a fence, WHIO-TV (http://bit.ly/1ifh2mP ) reported. A phone message left for the farm's owner seeking comment wasn't immediately returned.
Two drivers injured in the crashes were taken to a hospital and expected to recover. There was no word on the extent of the injuries to the third person.
"I had just turned my brights off and was coming around the bend, and (the horses) came up from the right," said driver Douglas Sutton, who crashed into one of the animals on U.S. 36. "There was several of them. Nothing I could do. It was last moment, and I hit him. I tried to veer to the left, but it didn't do any good."

The Victorian Society in America has designed and developed a licensing program so that manufacturers and businesses of home décor, collectibles, paper products and gift items will benefit from an association with VSA.
If your company sells Victorian products, you could not have a better endorsement than the only national organization dedicated to the protection, understanding, education and enjoyment of our nineteenth century heritage.
We are looking to develop licensing programs that use Victorian designs in the following areas:
Home Decor--which includes decorative accessories, lamps, furniture, soft goods, rugs and wall coverings.
Gifts--which includes jewelry, clocks, place-mats, picture frames, dinner ware, table top items, etc.
Paper Goods--which will require visual images and designs in order to produce products such as calendars, greeting cards, Christmas items, stationery and gift wrap.
Housing Materials--which includes hardware, paint, roofing materials, spindle work, and a variety of garden products.
Collectibles--which will rely on Victorian designs and images, and which could include seasonal ornaments, decorative plates, dolls, architectural pieces, etc.
Endorsement, sales, or licensing
These are the ways of being a partner with the VSA in its licensing program:
have your Victorian-era related product endorsed by the Victorian Society in America
have your Victorian-era related product sold by the Victorian Society in America at its events and via its publications and website
Or, if you own or process the legal rights to a collection, materials or building details related to the Victorian Era you can cooperate with The VSA for the manufacture and sale of reproductions or items representing product as a participant in The VSA's licensing program, and
allow the VSA to act as a Licensor for your Victorian-era related product
For more information please contact us.
