The Eyes Of A Fetch (Excerpt 200) Riddles
"I'm going to get you a bottle of water okay?" says Lyla as she starts to stand up. "No!" whispers Marnie as she tugs on Lyla's arm pulling her to the floor. "Marnie, what has gotten into you lately?" says Lyla as she sits down hard.
"He's here; he's going to kill me!" Marnie leans up and peers over the counter looking at the front door. She then turns and looks in the direction of the dark storage room and immediately drops back to the floor grabbing Lyla's shoulders pulling her within inches of her face. Marnie's breath is an awful mixture of alcohol, garlic, and bad hygiene. Lyla does all she can to not breath in the stench but it quickly becomes too much. She slowly pushes Marnie's hands off her shoulders and leans away from her.
"I'm trying to help but you keep talking in riddles." Says Lyla as she keeps her distance. "I don't have a clue of what or who you're talking about." Marnie stares at Lyla with a blank expression and the look in her eyes is one of hopelessness. She starts to cry.
"You don't remember?" she asks Lyla in a whisper. "You don't remember any of it?" Her voice sounds odd almost gruff and her eyes grow big. The look on Marnie's face is wild and very uncharacteristic. She has always been melodramatic but this is the worst Lyla has ever seen. She looks at Lyla's hands and face as if studying them for a clue. Then she slowly pushes backward away from Lyla before standing up very quickly. Lyla follows and stands up as well but not before Marnie pushes her to the side and makes a run for the door.

The Eyes Of A Fetch (Excerpt 199) He's Here
"Marnie, what on earth?" exclaims Lyla as she watches her friend dunk behind the sales counter. She can hear her sobbing and moving around so Lyla approaches slowly. "Marnie, what is wrong?" Lyla whispers as not to surprise her in any way. She glances back at the door to see if the large dog she encountered earlier in the morning could be the culprit of Marnie's hysterical state.
"He's coming to get me, he's here, and I saw him!" she stammers as tears run down her cheeks. Marnie is sitting on the floor, knees curled up as she holds them with her pale arms. She is a wreck, mascara smudges cover her eyes and her hair looks as if she has not combed it in days. Her eyes are wild, looking around frantically at the little shelves and storage places, as if someone might be in there hiding. One word comes to mind as Lyla watches Marnie's frightening display, insanity.
"Who is coming, Marnie?" Lyla asks calmly as she kneels down next to her. She reaches out and takes Marnie's hand. "You're okay, Marnie." Lyla sits with her in silence for several minutes waiting for her friends breathing to slow so they can have a calm conversation. From the way the sun is hitting the floor as it shines through the gallery window, it must be around eight in the morning. More sounds can be heard from outside as shop owners and employees make their way to work.

The Eyes Of A Fetch (Excerpt 198) The Spectacle
On the street is a trash truck making loud clanking sounds as it goes from one garbage container to another picking up and dumping trash on its weekly run. Lyla is stunned and unsure of what she just experienced. Was someone here? She is at the railing, looking down at the gallery. If this were a dream, would she not have awoken on the sofa? Was she sleepwalking? She stands up and walks over to the stairs to leave. Halfway down there is a sudden rapping on the glass door.
"Lyla let me in! Let me in!" screams Marnie from outside. She is hammering her fists on the glass door with such force, Lyla fears she will break through. Even with all the mechanical sounds of the pounding and thumping from the trash truck, Marnie's screams are loud and clear.
As Lyla opens the door, Marnie thrust herself inside practically knocking Lyla off her feet. The trash man and two other individuals arriving at their jobs stop to watch the spectacle Marnie is displaying. Lyla closes the door behind her and turns around.

The Eyes Of A Fetch (Excerpt 197) Odd Tension
Due to all of the activity in the past few hours, Lyla chooses to stay at the art shop for the remainder of the early morning hours. The last thing she wants is to confront the angry dog again so she walks upstairs to the loft, lies back on the sofa and closes her eyes. Even though she is now very tired, she does not intend to fall asleep. Her goal is to relax for a moment and let some time pass before going home. After several minutes, she hears a sound from the gallery below and leans up to peek over the railing. Someone is at the front door and they are jiggling the handle as if turning the lock. When the door pops open, a man enters the building. It is so dark Lyla is not able to distinguish who this is until he switches the light on.
"Marcus?" She sits up straight and he looks up at her. "How did you get here so fast? I thought you said you wouldn't be in town until much later today." Lyla watches intently as her friend stands quietly looking up without saying a single word. "What?" She questions surprised he has not spoken to her. "Did jetlag get the better of you?" She says as she leans over the railing with a huge smile across her lips. That is when she notices it. There is a strange glimmer in his eyes and any likeness he has to Marcus is now slowly being replaced with the face of a stranger. An odd tension forms in the air as a ripple of fear quickly encircles Lyla like a blast of strong wind.
Pressure consumes her instantly and she feels frozen in place unable to speak or move. The air seems too thick to breath and she feels pain in her lungs. She cannot fight the heaviness and begins to lose consciousness when a loud crashing sound jars her out of this attack. Instantly the man disappears and Lyla finds herself looking down at the empty gallery floor where streaks of early morning sunlight streams in from outside.

The Eyes Of A Fetch (Excerpt 196) Twin Flowers
"Really, that's funny; the guy that was just here is from Ireland. I wonder if he would know anything about this business. Let's see if there are any details on here." Lyla says to herself as she tips the billing invoice toward the dim light.
"Large painting ready for pick up on Friday. Duff picked it up one day early on Thursday." Continues Lyla as she reads aloud. "Twin flowers." She pauses slightly. "Hum, that could easily be the title of the painting hanging over my fireplace." She laughs not realizing this note is indeed in reference to her painting. Not only that, but it was ordered and paid for by the Irishman she was just speaking to.
Other than finding the invoice, Lyla comes up empty handed as far as any extra details are concerned. She decides to place the paper in the cash register so she will remember to ask Marcus about it.

The Eyes Of A Fetch (Excerpt 195) Constant Company
"Well now that you're safe and sound, it is best that I go along my way, for constant company wears out its welcome. Do take care." Says Crispin as he unlatches the door and steps outside.
"Please be careful, and thank you." Says Lyla "Oh, but I didn't catch your name!" she yells just as he closes the shop door. She quickly walks over and looks out as she engages the lock but does not see her newfound friend anywhere. Thankfully, the dog appears to be gone as well. Not thinking much of it, she goes back to the counter where she flips through the files looking for the invoice that reads, duplicate painting.
"Oh I wish I hadn't filed it because now I can't remember the name of the company." She continues to flip through the folders and variety of statements that are in order per letter of the alphabet. The last invoice in the D section is for Duff Industries out of Ireland and she pulls it out of the box.

The Eyes Of A Fetch (Excerpt 194) Your Story
Crispin cannot divulge the truth and reason for his early morning stroll for it involves watching her, manipulating her dreams as she sleeps, and his profound desire to get closer. Thus, he poses this scenario. "I suppose my walking problem is due to jet lag. What's your story for being out and about antagonizing a dog the size of a horse?" he questions as he turns to look outside. Lyla brings the box out from the back room.
"I couldn't sleep, and since my friend who owns this gallery and his new love interest are returning tomorrow," Lyla stops and looks up in thought as she tips her head left then right. Her pause makes Crispin slightly nervous but he soon realizes it has nothing to do with him. Once she deduces the timing of Marcus and Destry's arrival she continues,
"Which I suppose is actually later today," she grins. "I thought I'd come in and get a few things organized for him." She plops the box on the counter. Crispin smiles and is glad to hear Marcus is bringing Destry here. It will make his job all the easier but most of all he will be able to focus more of his time on Lyla than he originally thought. However, he still needs to find a way to help her understand the truth about him once her memories return. The last thing he wants is for her to run in the other direction.

The Eyes Of A Fetch (Excerpt 193) Avoids Answering
Lyla and Crispin stand there looking at each other as energy begins to build in the air around them. He so very badly wants to win her back and to help her understand his world and his purpose. Most importantly, he wants her to realize how significant she is to him and how he longs to reach out and hold her.
"You know, I have a sneaking suspicion that you're not from around here," she says sarcastically as she shakes her finger at him in a teasing manner. For some reason Lyla is now feeling very comfortable and at ease, as if this stranger is an old friend.
"I have no idea how you guessed that!" Crispin replies in his thick Irish accent. He laughs and says, "You must have psychic abilities."
"Of course, that's why I feel the need to ask so many questions." She laughs. "So what brings you here, to this little town and a walk at two a.m.?" Lyla asks as she steps into the back room to grab the box of invoices from the shelf.
"I own a little place, a cottage, just to the west of town and use it as my haven when in the states." He responds honestly hoping this might trigger her memory. He cleverly avoids answering why he was out at this time of the morning.

The Eyes Of A Fetch (Excerpt 192) Bit Of Banter
Crispin desperately wants Lyla to recall their past, particularly the strong feelings they shared for each other. Mostly, he cherishes the night they spent at the cottage a mere six months ago. That night was magical as they sat up until the wee hours of the morning talking and sharing stories until they both became too tired to continue. He held her in his arms for the first time and continued to do so even after she fell asleep. He knows they are supposed to be together and feels they fell in love that night. This is what he wants her to remember. It is what he wants her to want.
"The dog in gone now, I should probably be going." He says softly and without urgency. "I don't mean to be rude, but what were you doing out here at two in the morning?" she asks. There is a slight pause before Crispin answers. "I believe I could ask the same of you." He replies. As he turns to look at her, he grins because he knows to expect a bit of banter.
Lyla cannot help the overwhelming feeling that she somehow knows this man. Stepping closer to him, she studies his features, which surprises Crispin a little. He begins to think, just for a moment as they stand there face to face that she remembers, but he is wrong.
"We'll I'm lucky you came along and I appreciate the assistance." She says with a smile.

The Eyes Of A Fetch (Excerpt 191) Form Of Amnesia
Quinn does a good job at erasing the memories of anyone affected by Crispin's travels throughout the world. It is a type of hypnosis that he imposes onto the unsuspecting victims to remove specific recollections and thoughts. Some stronger willed individuals are not quite as susceptible, for instance Marnie; she is left with snippets of thoughts that do not quite make sense. This is what can create the appearance of insanity.
Lyla would be much like Marnie, for she too would not have easily surrendered to Quinn's ploy. However, she and Marcus both suffered injuries and slight concussions due to flying and falling debris from the powerful storm. It is this form of amnesia, mixed with what Quinn dealt out, that keeps their memories strictly suppressed.
What Crispin wants most is for Lyla to remember the good things they experienced together those many months ago. Even if it is just long enough for him to explain his actions so she can look past the bad. When he and Lyla collided in Madrid, he felt the same jolt of energy she did. He knows this to be true because he saw the look in her eyes and he is hopeful this is an indication of wonderful things to come.

Never apply logic to what God has given you to do.
What can we learn from the Biblical account of Joshua? Well quite a lot actually! When we first read of Joshua, he is Moses' assistant. Joshua was one of only two spies to bring back a good report concerning the ability of Israel to take the promised land. The other ten spies had told the people that land was "great, an absolutely wonderful place to live, but…….." – isn't that so often the way with Christians? They read of the promises of God, they see how wonderful they are, but then they apply logic and add "but….". Never apply logic to what God has given you to do. You are not supposed to be doing it in your own ability, it doesn't matter if it seems impossible – that's where faith comes in.
There is still time for you to get out of the desert.
God has already said, that you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you (Philippians 4:13). An entire generation of the children of Israel missed out on the Promised Land, and instead lived out their lives in the desert, because they were unwilling to believe that what God had said, was possible. Do not make that same mistake – there is still time for you to get out of the desert. As long as you are still alive, there is always the opportunity to turn things around. The mighty giants can and will fall when you have faith in God – just ask David!
Joshua could have given up. But he didn't.
Another forty years passed, and during this time Joshua could only wait to go in and claim what God had promised. Joshua and Caleb (the other spy who gave a good report) are the very embodiment of Hebrews 6:12, "[Be] followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises". Joshua could have wondered when God's promise was ever going to happen, he could have given up. But he didn't. Joshua held on to what God had said and refused to let go. That is the kind of faith and patience that you need to possess what God has promised. This is the situation at the beginning of the book of Joshua. Moses has just died, and Joshua has had a promotion – he is now the leader of God's people. God then gives Joshua some advice, which we would do well to heed. In Joshua 1 :6 God says, "Be strong and of a good courage", He repeats this in the very next verse, "Only be thou strong and very courageous". This is the first step in doing what God has called you to do, don't look for reasons that you can't do it instead, have confidence that with God on your side you cannot fail.
We are to read God's Word, meditate on God's Word and speak God's Word.
God's next instruction, in verse 7, could be summarised as "Follow my way of doing things, do what is right and you will prosper wherever you go". How to actually know what God's way of doing things is, can be found in verse 8, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein". We are to read God's Word, meditate on God's Word, and speak God's Word. The result of doing this will be the same result promised to Joshua, "Then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success". God follows this up by saying again, "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage", God is making sure that Joshua really gets this. But this time God adds, "Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest" (Joshua 1:9). Likewise, we never need to be afraid – what God promised to Joshua, equally applies to us. Chapter one of the book of Joshua ends with those same words repeated a fourth time, "Only be strong and of a good courage".
Joshua selected those two men very carefully.
Joshua Chapter two begins with Joshua sending out two men to spy out the land. The Bible doesn't specifically state the reason that only two men were sent this time, rather than twelve as Moses had sent; however I believe that Joshua was not about to sent out twelve men and risk the same thing happening that had happened before. I believe that Joshua selected those two men very carefully. They needed to be men of faith, like Joshua himself. Men who would come back and encourage the people. So the spies were sent out and whilst they were staying at the house of Rahab, who lived on the wall of the city, she informed them that the people that the previous generation of Israelites had been so afraid of, had actually been dreading their arrival for the past forty years! After Rahab helped the spies to escape and they, in return, had promised that anyone who is in her house will be safe, the spies returned to Joshua.
Joshua's carefully selected men bring back a report of faith.
Listen to the difference between what these spies said and what the ten spies had said forty years previously. The original report was one of fear and doubt, "We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan". This time however was different, Joshua's carefully selected men brought back a report of faith, "Truly the Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us". That is the choice that we are faced with: Are we going to stagger at the promises of God? Are we going to remain in the desert? Or are we going to be strong in faith and go in and possess the land?
[Don't] settle for half measures.
There's one final thing that I want us to learn from Joshua, and it is this: To continue, until we have fully possessed all the promises of God. Not to settle for half measures. not to sit back and relax when only half the job is done. By chapter 18 of the book of Joshua, the people have still not taken possession of everything that God had promised them and Joshua says in verse 3, "How long are you going to sit around on your hands, putting off taking possession of the land that God, the God of your ancestors, has given you?" (The Message) and that is the question that I want to end with today.
To compliment what I have written here, I recommend this post from The Word Detective on how the Israelites broke from their cycle of walking round and round in the desert. It is called When Is Enough, Enough?

where married on the most perfect windy November afternoon I have ever seen. Not only was the lighting great, but there were still a few leaves left on the trees and the wind didn't start up till we were about done. You will see in the images with Daniel and Alicia in front of the temple is when the wind started to pick up. I thought it was kind of fun giving it a different look.

A pigment found in bile may be the defensive system needed for people recovering from heart attacks.
Bilirubin, a bile pigment normally associated with jaundice, has been found to reduce damage and improve heart function during recovery from cardiac arrests, according to a new study.
Dr Andrew Bulmer, from Griffith University's Menzies Health Institute Queensland, said the study was significant as "very few drugs are able to be administered following a heart attack to improve heart function".
There are approximately 50,000 heart attack sufferers in Australia a year, with a 20 per cent mortality rate, Dr Bulmer says.
Slightly elevated levels of bilirubin appear to be beneficial, naturally protecting an individual from cardiovascular disease and also helping to reduce inflammation, which can lead to kidney disease and diabetes.
Dr Bulmer said the findings could have positive implications for reducing health risks and improving life expectancy.

By Louise Misiewicz
Are you looking to pay key man insurance out of your company?
Did you know that the tax considerations are different for employees and director/shareholders?
What is Key Person Protection?
It is a business protecting itself against the financial loss it may suffer as a result of the death, critical illness, or incapacity of a key individual. A key individual is one that provides a significant influence in the running and decision-making of the business.
The insurance company will pay out a sum of money to the company because of the financial risk of losing the key person. The calculations are far and wide of how much premiums needs to be paid and how much will be paid out. This article is not written from a tax rather than insurance perspective.
The Anderson Rules
The following is the Hansard report of the exchange in the Commons on 27th July 1944 regarding insurance by a company on the life of an employee:
'Sir John Mellor – Asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether premiums, paid by a company to insure the life of a director or employee in the company's interest, are now admitted by the Inland Revenue as a trading expense in the company's accounts in view of the decision of the House of Lords in the case of DH Williams's Executors v CIR 26 TC 23, that when such a policy matures by death the sum assured is a revenue receipt in the hands of the company.
'Sir J. Anderson – Treatment for taxation purposes would depend upon the facts of the particular case and it rests with the assessing authorities and the commissioners on appeal if necessary to determine the liability by reference to these facts. I am, however, advised that the general practice in dealing with insurances by employers on the lives of employees is to treat the premiums as admissible deductions, and any sums received under a policy as trading receipts, if:
(i) the sole relationship is that of employer and employee;
(ii) the insurance is intended to meet loss of profit resulting from the loss of services of the employee; and
(iii) it is an annual or short term insurance.
'Cases of premiums paid by companies to insure the lives of directors are dealt with on similar lines.'
Tax implications and considerations
It may be argued that the premiums paid are for the benefit of the company and is a cost to mitigate risk. As such this would justify the Whole Exclusive & Necessary test of HMRC.
However, HMRC argues that any premiums paid should not be for the benefit of individual owned businesses. You need to document your reasons for the premium and to ensure that there are no added benefit outside of the company for the shareholders.
Tax relief will not be given if the insurance paid on behalf of a director and who is the majority shareholder.
Premiums would be allowed to be offset against taxable profits provided that:
- Policy is in place for the loss of profits suffered because of the above
- Insurance policy is annual or short term
- The insured is not a major shareholder of the business
In the past, most key person policies have been taken out over a 5 year period in order to fit the criteria.
HMRC have stated: "An employer may take out in his own favour a policy insuring against loss of profits resulting from the death, critical illness, sickness, accident or injury of an employee, director or other 'key person."
From the guidelines, it seems fair to suggest that if tax relief has been allowed on premiums then the proceeds could be taxed.
The safeguard is to speak with your local tax office with the insurance cover details to see if the premiums would be a cost that may be offset against taxable profits.
I also wrote an article recently on how to reduce tax liability in 2017, which can be reviewed in full here.
There's also useful information here from our FAQ section on the best way to structure a Limited Company.

Wow! Pink sand beaches that stretch for miles on a narrow scimitar of land in the Bahamas, on an island named Eleuthera. It fascinated my spouse for months as he dreamed about living on a long empty stretch of beach with no one and nothing around.
There is a total population of approximately 8,000 people (mainly English-speaking) in this former British colony, with the nearest city of Nassau 50 miles away by air.
Whoa! Stop! I'm good with rural, or semi-isolated, but not Robinson Crusoe remote.
It was in 2002 that we fell in love with the turquoise sea of the Caribbean, and the search began for the perfect property for our dream home. We had a choice of over 7,000 islands in and around the Caribbean Sea including 501 in the Bahamas, 43 in the British Virgin Islands, 12 in the Cayman Islands, 58 in the Turks-and-Caicos and 81 in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Ah, but then, reality pokes its pesky little head up and says, what about obtaining building supplies for the dream home? A construction crew to do the work? Furniture? Milk? Meat? Veggies? Doctors? Dentists?
And what do you do when you finally get bored watching the ocean? As fascinating as it is, eventually you have to do something else with your day.
So when the opportunity arose to purchase a slice of heaven on Isla Mujeres we decided it was definitely worth considering. We opened a bottle of crisp, fruity sauvignon blanc, took two wine glasses and a bowl of mixed nuts and retired to our home office — our lakefront patio.
After lighting dozens of candles and lanterns to set the mood for serious consideration of our future, we started to list the reasons why Isla Mujeres would be a good decision:
• Close to the City of Cancún, population of approximately 800,000, with large, well-stocked stores such as Costco, Mega Commercial, Soriana, Walmart and Home Depot.
• Three excellent, and very affordable, hospitals in Cancún with American-trained doctors.
• Only 20 minutes via passenger ferry to the mainland, costing about $6 per person each way. Full-time residents pay less.
• Only 45 minutes via a car and passenger ferry to the mainland, for the cost of around $35 each way.
• Electricity available curb side.
• Internet service available curb side.
• Municipal water system.
• Municipal sewer system for the side of the island where we were proposing to purchase property.
• Easy air access from Canada to allow us to visit our families, and they to visit us.
• Easy air access to South America, next on our travel plans.
• A diverse and active expat community.
• Pleasant cool breezes and temperatures of between 20 and 33 C.
• Swimming, snorkeling and for the more adventurous, diving.
• Even in the rainy season storms passes quickly over the island's low geographic profile.
• Two gas stations on the island.
• A variety of small grocery stores on the island, and more recently a Chedraui Super Store.
• A fabulous variety of restaurants.
• Three choices of banking options.
• Doctors at the new community hospital, and several dentists on the island with many more available in Cancún.
• And the best reason of all, we enjoy the Mexican culture.
By the time our bottle of wine was gone and the candles had burned down to nubs we had decided that, yes, Isla Mujeres would be the perfect place to build a dream home.
Almost 10 years later we are still happy with our choice.
The writers are Canadians who have been full-time residents of Isla Mujeres for nearly 10 years. You can read their blog here.

I have a requirement to import the profile properties from a text file in sFTP to update the MOSS Profile Database. The objective is to create a single repository for the Staff Directory in MOSS.
Can I use BDC to connect and update the Profile database?
What is the alternate approach?
View Complete Post
I want to upload a text file and stored to my database. the column on my database it is longblob type. I don't know much about this so if anyone can help I will thank you.
This can't be right. Friday I tried to install some Windows updates including 'Security Update for …Windows Server 2008 for x64-based Systems (KB2416473)'
on both my host Server 2008 box and on a VM instance of Server 2008 running on the same physical box. An important SQL Server 2008 instance lives on that VM.
The above mentioned update failed on both the host and the VM, but a system shutdown and reboot were required for both OS's anyway. When SQL Server started up
again on the VM, the *.MDF file size for 2 (out of maybe 15 total) databases had been reduced to 0KB. Additionally, 1 of accompanying *.LDF files was now also 0KB in size, while the other *.LDF file was probably its normal size of 2.9GB. All the other databases
and log files, including Master.mdf, seem to be okay.
I'm new to SQL Server and have a couple of questions of cours
I have to pull external data from a text file to a SharePoint list on a daily base. Additional column content (e.g. attachments) in SharePoint should be kept during update. There should be RSS feeds, email notifications or workflows on external data change
(so delete all items and import new will not work).
I've found this codeless 3rd party solution with automatic background update (and write-back???):
Any other idea? BDC-based? Thanks.
So thank you for all your help so far, So I think i got this right, but would like for you all to look it over to see if there is any areas I might run into trouble with:

I have the following subroutine in an asp.net application class. The subroutine writes data to a text file upon application login. My question is that if this function was called at the same time by two different users would it cause any kind of error. Is there a need for a try catch?
Public Shared Sub writeToLogFile(ByVal UserName As String) Dim strLogMessage As String = String.Empty Dim strLogFile As String = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Log.txt") Dim swLog As StreamWriter strLogMessage = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString().ToString() " ==> " & UserName
If Not File.Exists(strLogFile) Then swLog = New StreamWriter(strLogFile) Else swLog = File.AppendText(strLogFile) End If
swLog.WriteLine(strLogMessage) &nbs

Hi everyone, I have what I think is a weird issue. I send text from one page to another via Session Variable. When page 2 loads, the text box has the session text set, but if the user changes the text and clicks the button, the SQL database is update with the original session text. If I remove the redirect from the page 2 button_Click method, then, the page refreshes with the textbox reverting to the session text and thr SQLDataSource has the session text added to it.
Why would the button click cause the textbox refresh with the text from the pageLoad before updating the data source?

So that i can host it in other systems as well without any windows authentication. I know that VS2010 setup also installs the SQL client which is requiredto create and manage sql databse files/quries etc
i dont know the default userID and password for SQLauthentication. As the express setup did not asked any credentials while installing SQL components

I'm facing an issue with the indexing.
I have 1 WFE+Index server+DB server.
Index server is not installed with MS FIlter pack 1.0
When crawling, the there will be document with warning in crawl log:
The file reached the maximum download limit. Check that the full text of the document can be meaningfully crawled.
Documents that with warning are such as doc, ppt, xls, docs, ppts and many others.
However, I view into the successful crawled document, there are doucments with ext doc and ppt.
For large file index, there are MaxGrowthFactor + MaxDownLoadSize required to be added into the index server.
As my understanding is, MS Filter Pack should installed into index server(already did, correct me if i'm wrong).
I looked into the Office SharePoint Seach(CA>Services in farm), if the server is appointed to "Use this server as indexing server", then MS Filter Pack is suppose to be installed into that particular server as well.
At the bottom, there also has another option is "Use all web front end for crawling".
The question here is, IF the option "Use all web front end for crawling" is selected.

I have this simple statement:
SyntaxEditor Code Snippet
select yearmonth,customer from DB.TB where yearmonth >= cast(trim(otranslate(year(add_months(current_date, -12)) || case when character_length(cast(month(add_months(current_date, -12)) as varchar(2))) = 1 then oreplace('0'|| month(add_months(current_date, -12)),' ','') else month(add_months(current_date, -12)) end,' ','')) as integer)and customer = 0001
Which runs fine as a select statement. I want to use the current date to extract the yearmonth 'YYYYMM', and use that in the WHERE clause, so it changes month automatically based on the current date (in this case the month 12 months ago).
However, when I try to create a view based on this query it fails with the error code "Failed. 3706: Syntax error: expected something between '(' and the 'year' keyword.". If I change the WHERE clause to yearmonth >= 201610 for example it works fine.
Does anyone have an explanation as to why I get this error, or perhaps a solution?
Thank you in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I've never heard of the Year() or Month() function, and I can't find it in TD 16.10. You can Extract(month from current_date).
But this seems far too convoluted anyway. Have you tried simply:
where yearmonth >= 190000+add_months(current_date ,-12)/100
I've never heard of the Year() or Month() function, and I can't find it in TD 16.10. You can Extract(month from current_date).
But this seems far too convoluted anyway. Have you tried simply:
where yearmonth >= 190000+add_months(current_date ,-12)/100
Yes I agree it was way too convoluted, but as I said the query worked fine as a select statement only.
However, your solution also worked with creating a view, so problem solved. Thank you so much!
You've got a working solution (which is the important bit) but I think your original "why does this work as a simple select but not when in a view" is possibly because the original select was run via odbc. if that is the case then the odbc driver is translating your code as entered into a Teradata equivalent, I've seen that in a number of customer sites. This may also happen with jdbc and .net but I haven't seen that.
However, when you run the 'create view' statement that doesn't happen, and the Teradata database sees the 'year' function and throws the error.
If you wanted to prove (or disprove!) this, run the original select and then go into query log to see what was actually received by the dbms. It probably won't be what you entered.
Thank you for your answer. I would like to test this, but am unsure as to where you want me to look. By query log I assume you mean the "History", i run my select statement and open the query from the history, however I cannot figure out where the information is.
Top box shows the query again, the same way I wrote it, and beneath is stats on the query on the left side, and notes/result message on the right side. I cannot see from this "what was actually received" by the dbms, unless you mean the output itself, which returns what I expected it to return.
You need to retrive information from Teradata's QueryLog, when you don't know about it, you probably don't have access.
Regarding translation by the ODBC driver, this is only done for SELECT, no DELETE, INSERT etc. and no DDL like CREATE VIEW or CREATE TABLE AS SELECT.
Yeah, you are probably right. I'm on the business end of things and have limited access to some of the back-end stuff, and limited knowledge for that matter.
We'll let this one sit abit :)

When they hear 'tickets for a living', some would surely think bus or train conductors. These persons, indeed, make a full time income by handing out tickets to commuters. However, making money out the hands down passes is not merely in order to transport. Many have made something from the themselves by selling concert tickets, festival tickets plus. Unfortunately, a lot of guys feel there is often a financial 'price' for playing the dating game. They figure, if you're acquiring a girl (or land a quality girlfriend), you're likely to have to wine and dine a bunch of different young girls. TIS: Aw, and here I was thinking Irealised i was so exceptional. Well, hopefully you haven't been asked plate at don't. You'd asked Rob if he any strange habits, so I'm wondering if can you mind answering that one yourself? The first thing that you need to do is to plan for the concert. The band usually has many concert to do during all seasons. This means that will need to go to the official website and evaluate if there is any facts the dates and the venue belonging to the performance. Once you know when exactly where there is the concert will be, the next phase deals with planning for it all. Well, one might wonder what planning contains anything related to it. Since attending the [[Brad paisley concert tickets>http://bradpaisleytourtickets.org/]] and getting the tickets will require money, it is important that you are familiar with the amount of cash that you'll be spending generally concert. For example, if the concert is significantly from have you been are living, then you'll have to have the transport will cost. There's a treasure trove in online classifieds. Even though it's used, doesn't mean it's defective or a waste of time. Cars, for example, is one of points you shouldn't buy brand new, since used cars pack additional value than their newer [[counterparts>http://photobucket.com/images/counterparts]]. In fact, each one of the things listed above (with the exception of puppies and [[Concert Tickets>http://Www.Fin24.com/Search/News?queryString=Concert%20Tickets]] of course) greatest bought used, if require to the economical for cash. It's easy to find a great baby gift. Babies are easily pleased; however giving choosing the right plaything factor every mom wants complete. Just think about what babies enjoy such as movement colours and musical toys and also nailed which it. Always ensure the age is appropriate for the child that you're buying the Christmas gift for, it will be admired. All wedding anniversaries are wonderful, functional than an ordinary something unique about the primary one. Couple of different methods special traditions associated by using a couple's first anniversary, in particular, eating the top tier of the wedding curry. For me, the idea of eating a piece of cake that was initially in the freezer with the year wasn't too appealing. What I did was save the superior tier to bring out on our first anniversary, however ordered a tiny little replica of the wedding cake from just as bakery. We looked in the old cake, but ate the new one - much tastier that way. Whatever you're to perform it is smart to plan ahead and certain you keep you have plenty of with regard to you find selected tickets or bookings give you. The closer you get to the date in question the harder it become to find availability for anything. So make your plans well ahead and pre-book as early as down the road .. It assists to spread the payments if you are investing in a weekend away instead of just a nice out.

In a phone call this morning, Mecklenburg Democratic State Senator Joel Ford advised me the Senate will vote at 1 p.m. today on a proposal that may have the practical effect of killing the highly-controversial Sales-Tax Referendum. The referendum narrowly-passed by a 5-4 vote by the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners in mid-June. It's scheduled to be voted on by the general public in November and was intended to raise local teacher pay, as well as provide some funding for the arts, libraries and CPCC.
The referendum, as discussed here in "Teacher-pay tax divides county commissioners", and updated in "Emails show even more dysfunction within Board of County Commissioners", has been the subject of much speculation as to whether or not it would even make it to the November vote.
Many key community players, such as the Chamber of Commerce, have been reticent to indicate whether or not it would support the move. It has even split the local Democratic Party leadership. The state delegation - area members of the House and Senate - expressed dismay that they were not consulted in advance of the referendum being voted on. The delegation was adamant that issues such as teacher salaries should fall under the state government's area of responsibility, and the state should continue to control policies such as who has the authority to levy sales taxes.
And that's where the state Senate is stepping in, according to Ford. The action being voted on today would restrict and limit local government's ability to levy such a tax, with the result being that the proposal as passed by the County Commission would be made unlawful. It is, essentially, a direct response to that proposal, designed expressly to kill that move, revoking in part some of the previously-granted authority to raise those taxes.
"Given the lack of collaboration with the state and other stakeholders in our community like the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, the Chamber, and other commissioners, I am not surprised that the State is wanting to do this," former commission chairperson Pat Cotham said upon hearing the news today. Cotham voted against the referendum. "They likely felt disrespected as others did. It is important to 'play well in the sandbox' of government. Maybe they felt the Board of County Commissioners was 'throwing sand in their face' - and they reciprocated."
Make no mistake, this move is nothing short of a rebuke to the five Democratic county commissioners who voted to put the referendum on the ballot. Assuming it passes the Senate vote this afternoon - which Sen. Ford advised me he is confident will happen - it must still pass the House. But the message could not be any more clear: This sales-tax referendum must die. One way or another.

10 Innocent Gamers Who Got Embarrassed Live On Camera
Streaming games online can help you capture and share a lot of epic moments, but it can also cause a lot of failures. When these streams go live, you know that someone else will be capturing it in some form. From there, these embarrassing moments can go viral and we've captured some of the most embarrassing ones here. From physical falls to getting caught by parents, try not to laugh at some of these crazy moments.
Cats are pretty much the star of the internet and things only get crazier when they become a part of video game live streams. In multiple instances, cats have caused destruction while playing a variety of games. Games can get exciting, so that's why it's important to always have a good grip on your chair. Watch as a player falls flat on his face when a chair flips out from underneath him. PopularMMOs are often recording funny videos and they put together a compilation of some of the funniest times where they've fumbled words around and created funny moments. Getting pranked can be common on Twitch and one poor kid didn't realize how bad things were getting when he kept inadvertently destroying things that he thought he was fixing. Getting swatted is a scary and humiliating experience for many online players. When streaming live, these moments can get broadcast all over the world. Parents aren't too savvy when it comes to computers and one child deals with an embarrassing situation when his mom walks in while he is playing. Other moments include Minecon live streams, losing thousands of dollars, birthday celebrations, and dealing with PC issues.

Natural Law - Divine Natural Law, Secular Natural Law, Historical Natural Law, Further Readings
principles system represents naturalists
The unwritten body of universal moral principles that underlie the ethical and legal norms by which human conduct is sometimes evaluated and governed. Natural law is often contrasted with positive law, which consists of the written rules and regulations enacted by government. The term natural law is derived from the Roman term jus naturale. Adherents to natural law philosophy are known as naturalists.
Naturalists believe that natural law principles are an inherent part of nature and exist regardless of whether government recognizes or enforces them. Naturalists further believe that governments must incorporate natural law principles into their legal systems before justice can be achieved. There are three schools of natural law theory: divine natural law, secular natural law, and historical natural law.
Divine natural law represents the system of principles believed to have been revealed or inspired by God or some other supreme and supernatural being. These divine principles are typically reflected by authoritative religious writings such as Scripture. Secular natural law represents the system of principles derived from the physical, biological, and behavioral laws of nature as perceived by the human intellect and elaborated through reason. Historical natural law represents the system of principles that has evolved over time through the slow accretion of custom, tradition, and experience. Each school of natural law influenced the Founding Fathers during the nascent years of U.S. law in the eighteenth century and continue to influence the decision-making process of state and federal courts today.

It was extremely disappointing to see the remarkably low turnout yesterday to debate renewing the Trident Nuclear weapon system, especially as it comes with a price tag of £100 billion!
Not surprisingly as a Defence minister and Conservative Anna Soubry voted in favour of the renewal. What was more concerning is the lack of Labour MP's in attendance and the vast majority if those who did attend also voting with the Tories in favour of renewal. Needless to say Green Party MP Caroline Lucas was in attendance and Voted NOT to renew.
It was only last week that Labour and the Tories also voted for £30 billion of more austerity. £100 billion would virtually re pay the portion of the deficit being addressed by austerity.
Nuclear weapons have no legitimate purpose. Their use would be illegal under virtually every conceivable circumstance as huge civilian casualties would be unavoidable. Nuclear weapons kill indiscriminately and the radioactive fallout from their use know no geographical boundaries and therefore affect the entire planet.
Senior military figures including Field Marshal Lord Bramall, General Lord Ramsbotham, General Sir Hugh Beach and Major-General Patrick Cordingley have questioned the long-term consequences for the military and the defence equipment budget if the Trident replacement was pursued. When we face a situation where our armed forces are left without basic equipment and are made redundant how can £100 billion be justified on a weapons system we all must pray is never used.
The main argument for retaining a nuclear system is as a deterrent. A deterrent to what? The rest of continental Europe with the exception of France do not have a nuclear 'deterrent' and I do not see they are facing threats from nuclear warhead holding countries and so why would we?
It's interesting to note that the existence of nuclear weapons had no effect on the Korean war, wars in the Middle East, the Balkans, the invasion of Kuwait, the invasion of the Falklands, the Sunni/Shiite war in Syria and the annexation of Crimea by Russia, to name but a few. It also has no effect of the threat we face from ISIS so what exactly is being deterred?
Deterrence is a self-sustaining policy that will only lead to escalating military expenditure. Deterrence with weapons of mass destruction relies on an unconscionable threat.
The Green Party is clear on its stance on nuclear weapons;
The Green Party rejects any reliance on nuclear weapons. This rejection means that we will decommission UK's own nuclear weapons and insist on the removal of US nuclear bases. No further research will take place into nuclear weapons and the export of nuclear technology will be stopped. Ships carrying nuclear weapons will be banned from British ports.
The £100 Billion pounds committed expenditure passed by Labour and the Tories yesterday could have helped to fund our Crisis hit NHS, our education system, could have ended austerity in fact in could have done so much instead it has been spent on a weapons system the vast majority of countries in the world live safely and happily without and that if ever were used would mean the end of civilisation as we know it today. Nuclear weapons do not deter wars carry on throughout the world against nations with and without a nuclear system, its time to say no more and to abandon our nuclear warhead system and encourage those countries that still retain them to do the same.

So Friday brought about the Olympic Opening Ceremony. After many months of speculation about farmyard animals and dancing vegetables (is it just me who heard that rumour?), the Isle of Wonder finally happened, and what unfolded was a heart-warming, grand and hilarious spectacle which showcased some of the things that are truly great about Britain. I'm no steadfast patriot, but credit where credit is due – Britain has a great and varied history, and there are elements of our culture which should be celebrated.
For me, the NHS segment was one of the best things which happened during the ceremony – it's one of the greatest political and social achievements of our time and it deserved its moment. So it's deeply saddening to me that the tribute has been so heavily criticised in certain corners. It's also saddening and extremely worrying to read the hostility towards the Ceremony's celebration of Britain's multiculturalism.
Kicking things off was Aidan Burley, the Tory MP for Cannock Chase:
shortly followed by:
Peter Hitchens, meanwhile, opts to punctuate what could have been a valid criticism of the treatment of a boy who cycled alongside the Olympic Torch on its tour around the country to add some cheap jibes about the unemployed:
Will the world be impressed? Well, would you be impressed if a family in your street, who were jobless, undischarged bankrupts with delinquent children, whose roof leaked, whose wiring was dangerous, whose garden fence was rotten and whose unmown lawn was full of weeds, suddenly hired a marquee and a brigade of maids and waiters, and invited everyone to a noisy champagne party?
…before adding 'multiculturalism' to a list of sins which blight the Olympic Games:
This is supposed to be a light-hearted, generous-spirited event. But it isn't really. It's an overbearing, officious, self-important celebration of corporate greed, unpunished corruption, tolerated cheating and multiculturalism.
When did 'multicultural' become a negative quality, or one that fails to represent Britain well?
This was, sadly, only the beginning of the ignorant and intolerant responses which surfaced after the Ceremony. Rick Dewsbury, despicable human being that he is, has decided to release a tirade about the whole affair, using one case of neglect in the NHS as the basis for his argument.
While the above is infuriating, it's no more than I have come to expect from Mail columnists such as Dewsbury. It's an example of the irritating, emotive trolling which the tabloid seems to adopt as house style. But the article continues in the most absurdly offensive fashion imaginable, to the extent that I find it difficult to fathom how it was ever allowed to go to print:
But it was the absurdly unrealistic scene – and indeed one that would spring from the kind of nonsensical targets and equality quotas we see in the NHS – showing a mixed-race middle-class family in a detached new-build suburban home, which was most symptomatic of the politically correct agenda in modern Britain.
This was supposed to be a representation of modern life in England but it is likely to be a challenge for the organisers to find an educated white middle-aged mother and black father living together with a happy family in such a set-up.
There is nothing unrealistic about the above scenario. The implication that educated people of different ethnic backgrounds can't live together and form a 'happy family' is ridiculous and highly offensive. The article goes on to say that:
Almost, if not every, shot in the next sequence included an ethnic minority performer.
The idea that this was unexpected is quite incomprehensible, given the rich ethnic diversity that Britain enjoys. Dewsbury stops one short of asserting that each segment should have been performed by an all-white cast, but it's a close call. It is incredible that this has been published. John J. Williamson points out in a blog post here that the article is "Pretty clumsy, nasty, and perhaps liable under Clause 12 i) of the PCC code."
The offending article has now been taken down, but has been preserved online in cached form and is available to read here.


text: Campaign launched to raise awareness of livestock worrying Published 01 March 2016 A three month Police Scotland campaign has been launched on Tuesday 1st March to raise awareness amongst dog owners about the devastating effects of livestock worrying. *Picture courtesy of The Courier The campaign will see Scottish Natural Heritage working with the Scottish Partnership Against Rural Crime, a multi-agency partnership which includes Police Scotland, National Farmers Union of Scotland and Scottish Land & Estates, to encourage dog walkers to use the countryside responsibly. The campaign seeks to highlight the impact of livestock worrying, ensuring that dog owners who live in or walk their dogs in the countryside act responsibly and keep their dogs under close control. The worrying of livestock can have devastating consequences for farm animals and for farmers and their businesses and this campaign is being launched to coincide with the spring lambing period because this is when sheep are at greatest risk. A dog attacking, chasing or even being at large in a field where sheep are kept can lead to significant injury and often leads to the sheep being killed or destroyed. Such attacks have a financial and emotional impact on the farmer and are avoidable if dog owners follow some simple steps. Inspector Jane Donaldson, Police Scotland Rural Crime Co-ordinator, said: "The worrying of sheep and other livestock by domestic dogs not only has an obvious financial and emotional impact on farmers when their animals are killed or injured, but also has an effect on the animals themselves, their productivity and welfare. "Livestock worrying can occur when a dog attacks, chases or in the case of sheep, is at large (not on a lead or otherwise under close control) in a field where livestock is kept. "The devastating effects of a dog attack are evident and cannot be overstated but significant damage can also be caused by a dog simply being present in a field. Pregnant ewes can abort their lambs or lambs can be separated from their mothers, causing distress and in some cases malnutrition. "The advice to anyone walking and exercising their dogs in the countryside is to ensure that they are under control at all times and avoid going into fields where livestock is grazing. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code says that dogs shouldn't be taken into fields where there are lambs or other young farm animals." The partners involved in this initiative are encouraging farmers to help educate dog walkers and prevent incidents occurring. "We are encouraging farmers and landowners to engage with dog walkers and to put signs up on gateways and on key roads and paths alerting them to the presence of sheep and lambs in their fields" added Inspector Donaldson. Farmers and those who use the countryside are urged to report all incidents of livestock worrying to police on 101 or 999 in an emergency. Preventative measures can be also be taken using Dog Control Notices issued by the local authority. These written Notices can be served on owners who do not keep their dogs under proper control and place control measures such as keeping the dog on a lead or being muzzled in a public place. Police Scotland will also enforce the existing legislation robustly, ensuring all reported cases of sheep worrying are thoroughly investigated and offenders reported to the Procurator Fiscal. Allan Bowie, NFU Scotland's President, said: "NFU Scotland is extremely concerned by the growing issue of livestock worrying across many areas of Scotland. "Figures recently obtained by the Union confirm that the numbers of instances are on the increase, and this is very worrying. There have been a number of instances recently where the losses suffered by farmers have been substantial, both in terms of emotional impact and financial costs. "At this time of year when lambing and spring calving is underway, instances are particularly keenly felt. The public has a right of responsible access, and in being responsible should ensure that they are familiar with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, this sets out what is expected of them. "We continue to work at a national and local level with Police Scotland and other stakeholders to raise awareness of this issue." Anne Gray, Scottish Land & Estates, said: "Scottish Land & Estates wholeheartedly supports this initiative. Sheep worrying is a problem that should not happen. We fully support responsible access, but the key word is 'responsible'. "We would encourage all dog walkers to keep their dogs under control and we would encourage farmers to engage with dog walkers and the public to help them exercise their access rights in a responsible way". Theresa Kewell, Scottish Natural Heritage, said: "The Scottish Outdoor Access Code defines under close control as being when your dog responds to your commands and is kept close at heel. You can obviously also keep your dog under close control by keeping it on a short lead. "We may not think our family pet is capable of causing injury, but it is a dog's natural instinct to chase, so think ahead when you're out for your walk, about what might tempt your dog to run off, and ensure you keep them under proper control". Contact Details Call 101 for non-emergencies and general enquiries, in an emergency call 999. If you have information about a crime you can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Being small and neatly branched
your glanced-at limbs manufacture a pressure:
Oh shiny thing as you rearrange yourself
make me happy.
Mid-deal, water-tower in the background
a suburban species of sleet to the fore,
neither of us makes headway. There is a lot
to misunderstand:
our common creeping from the cost and strut
of machines to
our poorly developed momentum requiring
constant clinical resolve.
Where would we be without GPS?
Imperceptible slowness, manifest
in bemused muscle and patent hand signals.
The truth or perfect.
If I want to hold something nailed down
why strap on a jet-pack? In the fall
the air around me is a movie soundtrack
of unopened parachute silk.

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil." Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened." (1 Peter 3:8-14 NIV)

Archive for the 'Broadband' Category
Does poor broadband still rank number one on the IT gripe list?
What is your biggest IT issue or challenge? When we posed the question on the Business Technology Forum a year ago it generated a lively debate. Have the concerns changed over the months?
In tight budgetary times, is access to funding and resources the biggest bugbear? Writing on businesscomputingworld.co.uk Tim Grieveson said a survey of senior IT staff in more than 500 UK companies identified motivating and training staff, data security & recovery, systems monitoring and sustainability as the big IT issues.
Will the uptake of cloud computing be affected by poor broadband speeds?
Will the uptake of cloud computing be affected by poor broadband speeds?
Both topics prompt high levels of debate on the forum. On the one hand there is growing concern over the speed, availability, rollout plans and inconsistencies in broadband performance across Europe. The lack of broadband speed in rural areas, the overdependence on old copper wiring instead of fibre optics and the associated debates over mobile and wifi internet all prompt discussion.
On the other, many commentators are predicting that 2011 will be the year cloud computing comes into its own. "Cloud computing – the server-based way of working – will go from strength to strength this year," says Toby Shapshak on Times Live (http://www.timeslive.co.za/opinion/columnists/article841095.ece/Much-much-more-of-the-same)
How far and how fast should the rollout of fibre-optic broadband go?
The launch last month of the first superfast broadband satellite outside of the US – which will be able to handle between 150,000 and 300,000 users at any one time – is good news for those Europeans suffering from poor internet connection.
Hylas 1, from Avanti communications, will provide broadband access to 24 European countries where service operators have been struggling to extend their coverage to remote areas. Entry costs for customers start at €25 a month. (www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/yourbusiness/8168976/Satellite-broadband-to-reach-rural-businesses.html)
Satellite broadband: the only option for millions in the countryside
The launch of a new satellite will bring a new but imperfect solution, says Matt Warman
The news that the Hylas satellite has finally launched should have thousands of rural dwellers dancing in the fields. It will open up the possibility of high-speed broadband to 350,000 Europeans, and will be the only option for many for years to come.
Broadband in Europe speeding up
Broadband speeds in Europe have risen sharply in only a year, suggest official EC figures, reports the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11840736)
In July 2010, 29% of broadband lines in Europe ran at speeds of at least 10 Mbps, revealed Commission research.
By contrast in July 2009 only 15% of broadband lines were capable of hitting that speed.
Despite the higher rates, the Commission warned that a lot of work needed to be done to meet Europe-wide targets on access and speed.
"Fast broadband is digital oxygen, essential for Europe's prosperity and well-being," said Neelie Kroes, commissioner for the digital agenda.
