Hand printed fabrics in the shop!
The new Birch in gold - note this print is MUCH LARGER SCALE than it used to be! And the gold is more 'sunny' than my previous gold colour.
Acacia in plum. Love this colourway. It's slightly discounted in price though due to the fact that it's printed on calico. Not that I mind calico in the least, it's a great colour & texture, just has a bad name for some reason.
Acacia in robins egg on organic cotton/hemp.
Birch in Fuchsia. This print is a bit patchy in places so it's discounted in price. But still good!!

VC to Test Emergency Alert System Thursday
Victoria College will conduct a test of its emergency alert system at 2 p.m. Thursday. Alert system testing is conducted at the beginning of each semester to help ensure the system reaches users via the contact methods they have shared with the college.
VC students, faculty and staff are encouraged to ensure their contact information is up to date in the Pirate Portal, VC's internal website, before Thursday's test alert, says the Victoria Advocate. Alerts can be received via cellphones, home phones and email. "This test ensures that we have the correct contact information on file for our students and employees so that we can quickly contact them during an emergency or campus closure," Darin Kazmir, director of marketing and communications at Victoria College, told the Advocate.
Community members can also sign up to receive alerts by contacting the VC Call Center at 361-573-3291 and supplying their names and contact information. This information will be added into the emergency alert system for future alerts.
After the test alert is sent, any users who did not receive the alert via one of their preferred contact methods are encouraged to contact the VC Call Center so potential issues can be addressed.

Ymiles necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 105 diseños de 32 diseñadores freelance.
OMS VAT Recovery ltd
OMS VAT Recovery works exclusively with their aviation customers across the globe. We don't just work with airlines we work with business jet owners, cargo airlines and aviation service companies and so on so we cannot afford to exclude any one sector.
We are about to launch our yet-to-be designed website and the logo will be used there - OMS.AERO - as well as on our letterheads, business cards etc.
Finance is stuffy and boring - our logo should be forward-thinking and young and dynamic.
OMS works to recapture recoverable VAT (that's sales taxes in Europe) and refund it back to the airline/flight department so we're all about saving our customers money when they use us.
Finance directors within the airline and aviation community
Nothing cartoonish and no clip art please!
We need to tie in our global presence and aviation specialization.
Our current logo is depicted on the screen of a laptop computer - you can see it on our brochure.
We like the idea of this representation but not the logo itself - also laptops when android phones are so much more "today" makes our logo look dated too.
You might for example, want to depict our new logo on the tail of an aircraft - or not!
Give thought to your colour choices - we will need to reproduce anything colourful on letterheads and business cards so full colour printing will only work for the right logo. Currently we use green (the colour of money) and gold but it's looking a little dated and a bit of a cliche.
Please no $ sign for the "s" in OMS - that's also a cliche.
I don't know how pink would work for us but think colour of the Financial Times for example if you choose this route. Nothing girlie though - OMS is a division of a London based accountancy practice.
OMS VAT Recovery needs to be presented as a global, aviation specialist within the financial area it operates - saving money for our customers

Plant Damage, Snow, Rain, Melt Out, and Avalanche Danger
Walking to the bus stop this morning I saw increasing evidence of damage to plants and trees. Large branches broken off by the weight of snow, bushes bent over to the ground or broken. At the UW, the main road was blocked because of heavily leaning fir tree...snow loading had done the trick. Anyway, I suspect many of you will find quite a bit of broken or bent vegetation around your homes and in our parks.
A major weather system is now approaching rapidly...with a warm front tonight and cold front tomorrow morning) and it should be precipitating over the western interior around lunchtime (see satellite and radar images). It is raining on the coast and Quillayute turned from rain to snow.
So what will happen here as it begins to precipitate? Temperatures are generally above freezing at the surface and the Sand Point profiler indicates the freezing level is at 1000 ft. The snow level (the level where all the snow is melted) is usually about 1000 ft below that....sea level in this case. So we may initially see some wet snow at higher elevations (above 300-500ft), and very, very wet snow and rain near sea level. You all know whether you are in the high or low elevation category.
During the afternoon the cold air will hold in place at low levels, but this evening it will be replaced by warm, southwesterly flow and strong winds. You WILL be able to tell when the warm Pacific air hits tonight. Attached is a time-height cross section showing temperatures (C), winds, and humidity forecast over Seattle. You can see the 0C freezing line move nearly straight up in the evening. The heights are in pressure...850 mb is about 5000 ft, 700 mb about 10,000 ft.
This system will be wet, but not a pineapple express. Seattle, partially rain shadowed, will have less than .5 inches....minimizing the threat of urban flooding from the combination of melting snow and rain (but please clean out your street drains to make sure!). Temperatures tomorrow will get back to normal...into the mid-40s and most streets should become passable by late tomorrow.
The mountains will get several feet of snow...and then we come to another issue....avalanches. The snowpack is not large right now, but it has a number of weak embedded layers. With massive snowfalls on top of it, a large avalanche threat will exist by tomorrow...so be very careful if you are skiing out of controlled areas. Even better is to avoid such locations.
And finally...there will probably be strong southeasterly winds over northwest Washington waters tonight as the front approaches.

It would be interesting to show the dew point as opposed to the rel humidity, the dew point being the more related explicitly to the weather mass....

No precip yet this morning in Port Angeles. This is my first winter in this neighborhood. I didn't know to pay attention before, and I wish I knew where the street drains are under all that ice... :-(

should have specified: West side of Port Angeles, elevation about 125 feet. Temp just above freezing (windshield frost melted, street traffic no longer crunching); no precipitation.

Melting temp at 550-580 ft of elevation (Sammamish). We're getting quite a bit of very wet snow falling while the trees are "dripping".
- December 26, 2008 at 11:59 AM
A question, we got about 12" in Port Orchard over this event. What would that equal in inches of rain?

In lake stevens right now it's snowing very very lightly, but temps are around 35 (SE side of the lake).
We went out this morning and cleared away the drains around the house, expecting lots of standing water over the weekend.

It's raining in Redmond (MS campus) since at least 12:00 noon.
Road report from 10:30am: all main arterials clear between Ballard and Redmond. Market Street has been cleared, 45th (thru Wallingford) to I-5 is great. What slush I had to go over (my street to 15th, then pulling over in Wallingford for a quick errand) was not hard or impassable. Roads were wet but at all points along I-5 and 520, drivers moved briskly at at least the posted speeds.
Apologies for those who already are aware of the above. But since I didn't find reports posted on the usual blogs this morning, I offer up these comments in case (like I was for 2 days) anyone is hiding out indoors, unsure whether it's yet safe to go out.
I'm not sure why I saw 2 Metro busses with problems earlier. The ones going thru Ballard & Wallingford were fine, but an eastbound 255 was moving cautiously at the upward slope at the east end of the bridge. There was also one which appeared abandoned at the 40th street exit.
I think we're all weather junkies now! (weather activists?) Cliff's blog & my neighborhood blog were lifelines w/the on-the-ground reporting for what was really happening & what to expect next.
I'll check UW Bookstore to see if there are any planned bookstore or Kane Hall talks by Cliff soon. I have a feeling the Lake Forest Park event will be mobbed!! Cheers :-)

After about 1/2 hour of rain and sleet, I'm seeing consistent snow here in the Madison Valley (MLK & Olive). Also, great advice about clearing storm drains. I also checked the downspout diverters around our house. The weight of ice build-up had caused some of them to detach from the downspouts causing water to drain directly into the ground close to the house.
- December 26, 2008 at 1:11 PM
Capitol Hill, 1pm--Steady snow now for about an hour. Our neighborhood roads and sidewalks are still a thick slushy mess, so it is hard to tell if the snow is adding to the accumulation. It seems to be melting on the wet/bare spots where cars were previously parked, but sticking where we still have about 6 inches of thawing snow.

It is DUMPING snow in south Mukilteo, some of the hardest I have seen. Hoping to see that changeover to rain soon. My wife barely got out of the driveway this morning and it'd be nice to melt off about an inch before she gets home in 4 hours. ;)

Update from SE Lake Forest Park:
First, I was glad to hear on KUOW that Cliff is "on vacation" and thought that he richly deserves some relax time, but this posting suggests that you're back at work on our campus, Cliff! Is there any way that we on the Comment team can carry the weight on this blog and donate some real "free time" to you and your family? I think you deserve all the help we can provide, and I'll bet that many (probably most) of your blog addicts will agree.
Here, our roof panels are reporting 40 degrees F, and the shed 35 degrees. We have moderate rain, with some bright-colored "large drops" or "mostly melted flakes". Several neighbors' roof crests are melted free, with gutters looking about 1/3 open, and ruts on 39th Ave NE between NE 148th and NE 151st are clear down to pavement, with manhole covers also clar, but ther's still some sludge in about 1/2 of the ruts and maybe as much as 1 ft crests between and next to the ruts: progress but far to go!
We plan to go out this afternoon by car, and I'll shovel out several water grates to help get as much meltwater as possible into the storm sewers to protect our downhill pals above and on the Burke Gilman and lake from flooding and (much worse) landslides in this layered clay soil! (We have water-pervious sand layers between dense impervious clay layers, which both lube clay flow and marinate the clay into half-liquid form, so we need both stormwater drains and healthy plant roots to protect us from slides that often cut out or cover long stretches of the Burke Gilman and the street below, with major risk of pushing lakeside homes into the water or at least plugging up garages and front doors.
Time for lunch! More later..
This time, my first 3 tries have failed .. why?

It is snowing steadily at Hwy 9 and Maltby Road, with 1/2 inch in past hour. I've been trying to dig out my car and clear in front of it, but with a three-foot snowplow berm at the end of my driveway, this may take me awhile!

Two hours of snow in Madrona and it's just now starting to stick at spots which have been cleared of snow and ice.
Sidewalks and roads are still in very bad shape on the west side of Madrona hill and the east side of Cap Hill. MLK, Union and Madison are passable but lots of cars are still getting stuck on the side roads. Sidewalks are deep slush and packed ice. Very little bus service and nothing going downtown. I hear the west of Cap Hill and downtown are much better so if you can get that far you're probably OK.
- December 26, 2008 at 2:21 PM
I'll second that "criminy" and raise you an "omg."
Bothell 300 ft elevation
Like everyone else, rain/snow mix has turned into ginormous snow flakes.
If I can't get out of the house by Sunday, I'm going to post my address so that you can send Search and Rescue over with a big green salad.

Duvall 2:15pm 32F
Snowing hard, small to mid-size flakes. Looking at the radar on weather.com there is a vertical band in the Snoqualmie Valley that seems to be the steady transition point from ice/mix (pink) on the west side to snow (blue) on the east side. Before today's snow, we measured 23" on our picnic table. The peaked roofs in our neighborhood have a very thick layer of snow. Fingers crossed they are strong and make it through this crazy weather! We dug out pathways leading away from various locations around our house and cleared the nearby drains. When will Duvall warm up????????
- December 26, 2008 at 2:25 PM

Will this EVER end? It's now snowing lightly again on Phinney Ridge near the Woodland Park Zoo at 2:23 p.m. Friday, and the temp has dropped a bit from this morning. I thought we'd see warmer weather and consistent rain by now. Sigh. The minor arterials are in good shape but the side roads are still pretty bad. You wouldn't want chains, because once you went three blocks you'd be out of the mush and would need to take them off.

slushy rain an hour ago has turned to moderate snow in Kirkland/Juanita. temp says 34 degrees, but LordiLoo!

Capitol Hill update--2:30.
The snow has not let up. Steady snow since noon. No one is driving the slushy roads in our neighborhood. My sister called and reported white-out driving conditions on I-5 between Lynwood and Seattle with roads staying clear, but white accumulation atop the gray snow on the shoulders.

Light snow and 34 in SE Auburn @ 2:20pm. This storm started just like the one last Saturday but much warmer. 25 deg. snow is much more enjoyable than 33 deg. snow. Made a large snow pile in the back yard. Will be fun to see how long it lasts.
- December 26, 2008 at 2:28 PM
Cliff, please reassure us...it is going to stop snowing isn't it? Snowing large flakes in Kirkland, near Rose Hill...please make it stop!!
- December 26, 2008 at 2:29 PM
Huge flakes up here on Education Hill in Redmond. Temp 34.5 degrees F. Hope it stops soon and starts to clear, my wife had a heck of a time getting out on her flight (delayed a few hours due to snow) and now I'm worried that it's going to be even worse on her way back tomorrow.
- December 26, 2008 at 2:37 PM
Hollywood Hill, Woodinville, 1/2 in. new snow since 1:30. 28 degrees, no sign of lettin up soon.
- December 26, 2008 at 2:48 PM
We are still snowing here in Fairwood, have been most of the day. The main roads are staying wet but our parking lot is a treacherous place! Accumulated about a foot of snow, cars are spinning out - it's so frustrating to hear and watch, and especially to be in their shoes I suppose.
I'm so sick of the snow. This San Diego native was not made for this kind of weather.

I live in the eastside on the border of Woodinville and Redmond on a hill. Its snowing heavily for about an hour (at 3:00 PM). I guess I am at a higher elevation. Shoveling this snow is hard as it seems heavier than the snow we got on Sunday.

Snowing hard, big flakes! All those pathways we dug for melting snow to drain away from the house are now slowly filling up with fresh snowfall. Doh!
- December 26, 2008 at 3:07 PM
Lynnwood City Center (196th SW, 1 mile west of I-5): I think it might have been raining at 1pm, but then it started snowing hard. Looks like we've gotten at least 2 inches in the 2 hours since. The flakes are falling at a 45 degree angle, so there's some wind (rom the south) out there, too. (No weather instruments here, I'm afraid.) I don't have a working thermometer, but the SchoolNet shows temps of 30-31F, and that sounds about right. Rain sounds like a fond dream, never to be realized. We'e in a top-floor apartment in a building with a flat roof. I'm beginning to wonder how much more the roof can take! Lyn in Lynnwood

It finally stopped (for now) in Everett. I hope that was the last of it. My neighbor was telling me how much it reminds him of his home in the Ukraine.
Cliff..you say were supposed to get more cold air moving in tomorrow. A little reassurance please - it is going to rain this weekend, right?

The forecast seems to be panning out at 5pm: the KSEW profiler is showing the temps cooing up quite steeply. Though the forecast plot shows this about 8 hours later.
Compare this current sounding
to the forecast plot Cliff posted (time on the bottom axis more recent at the left in date/UTC time so match up the date/UTC).
The profiler is going up to 1600m or 5000 feet or 850mb or so.

The parking lots at stores have very, very deep slush - I was in over my ankles for long stretches and it felt like I was barefoot wading through a river, so wear rubber boots or galoshes or something

Here in Kitsap county near Indianola, just off of Miller Bay at 300' elevation, it has been 36 degrees all day long, and still is. We had mixed rain/snow until around 1pm, at which point it became a steady rain which let up in the late afternoon.
Now, as of 9pm, the wind has picked up considerably, so it seems as if that Pacific front is blowing in.
- December 26, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Had heavy snow in NE Bothell (183rd and SR-527) from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM today before it tapered off and quit. Everything quite wet as it warms up. Realized it's a lot harder to drive on deep slush than dry snow. Few of my neighbors could drive up the hill to their homes.

Holy cow. I just finishing playing Animal Crossing: City Folk (thanks, Santa!) and I'm getting ready to go to bed... and I noticed that it's 41.5F outside!!!
We couldn't even get our car back into our driveway tonight at about 8 because it was so slippery in the slushy ice... but tomorrow it really will all be melted away and we will just drive around as normal. I CAN'T WAIT.
Thanks for the rain, Cliff! :-)

I would love to get some reliable information on how our weather affects the tides day to day.
for instance, wouldn't a freeze lower the highs? and flooding from melting snow raise them?
Also, wind on Saratoga Passage, the eastern side from Everett to Deception Pass. Big Southerlies and high tides can damage us pretty good but how does one get the warning?

@anon who asks "I would love to get some reliable information on how our weather affects the tides day to day. for instance, wouldn't a freeze lower the highs? and flooding from melting snow raise them?"
The temperature and volume of the mass of water in the Sound is (practically) unaffected by atmospheric temperature runoff or runoff temp.
For climate work the temperature changes the volume of water on the planet but not in an observable day to day usage.
So the runoff has no effect on tide or tide height.

A few years ago, I'd ride in any weather, a lot like that scene in Forrest Gump, in the storm, where I'd challenge the winds and rain to throw more at me. The defiance comes from learning how to ride in the Tri-Cities, where the wind blows in all directions all the time and my intense dislike for trainers. The defiance was tempered a few years ago, when I suddenly slipped in the snow and slid down a hill into a parked car and another time when the visibility was so bad, I rode right off the bike path into the Puget Sound.
So, as predictable as seeing a cyclist riding in shorts with bare knees, no matter how cold it is, I bet someone is out riding today, in Seattle, in the snow.
I've ridden in it all, not so much anymore, but though I'd ask what are your limits? What will you ride and not ride?

Joshua Katz
Everyone knows Americans don't agree on pronunciations.
That's great, because regional accents are a major part of what makes American English so interesting.
Joshua Katz, a Ph.D. student of statistics at North Carolina State University, published a group of awesome visualizations of professor Bert Vaux and Scott Golder's linguistic survey, which looked at how Americans pronounce words (via detsl on /r/Linguistics).
His results were first published on The Abstract, the NC State University research blog. The complete set of Katz's maps, updated with the results from over 350,000 new survey responses, are compiled in the new book "Speaking American," out October 25 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
Katz gave us permission to publish some of the coolest maps from his collection.

Stigma Struggles in the Rural Southern U.S.
By Marc Kolman, M.S.P.H.
February 16, 2010
This is my second blog for TheBody.com. I took on this project because I wanted to write about stigma and HIV in the Southern U.S. But it's proven harder to do than I thought and it's taking me far too long to write this second post.
The challenges of running a small non-profit in Durham, N.C., much less separating from my wife and thinking about my mom's cancer, have proved to be just about enough for me. But you don't need to hear about my personal life.
I've always wanted to write this story; and it is about HIV, stigma and the South. For two years in the '90s, I was health director for a small rural county in south central North Carolina. It was the most remote, isolated place I'd ever lived. I was already dealing with quite a bit of culture shock, having moved from progressive Santa Fe, N.M. The economics in this county were dismal. There were almost no jobs, no industry, and no entertainment or recreation.
A large portion of the people who stayed in the county had little means to leave. For many, drugs and sex were the things to do. Not surprisingly, we had one of the highest rates of HIV infection in the state. And North Carolina, being in the Deep South, continues to have one of the higher HIV infection rates in the country.
With the support of a somewhat enlightened administrator of our local hospital, we were lucky enough to start a series of task forces to address broad-based community health issues -- HIV was one of them. We recruited just about everyone we could think of who was concerned about HIV, including our local newspaper editor. This editor was also one of the enlightened leaders in the community. She placed free fillers for us -- those spaces at the end of a newspaper article, where they have room at the end of a column -- which said things like "Teach your kids about HIV and AIDS." She soon moved on to someplace on the Outer Banks and I soon moved on to a different county.
I wanted to share this story because it has a lot to do with stigma and the rural South. First, the rural South is in the Bible Belt, which means that talking about drugs and sex is not easy. In the Bible Belt you don't schedule things on Wednesday evenings or Sundays, period, because of conflicts with church activities (did you know church meetings are on Wednesday evenings?). And, you don't talk much about things you're "not supposed" to be doing.
Stigma is the result of people's lack of comfort and ability to deal with real world issues, such as drugs and sex. Sexual identity falls under this category too. How many people have moved to more urban communities where tolerance is higher and their behaviors are more accepted? The lack of conversation and the inability to address issues in the community leads to stigma. Stigma leads to secrecy and shame, which tends to encourage higher-risk behaviors.
Second, I think it helps tremendously to get something in front of people and get them to keep thinking and talking about it. Eventually it becomes something that people are OK talking about. This is culture change -- helping people change what they think and what they do. After raising the issues and keeping them visibly in front of community leaders, maybe now it'll be a little easier for them to talk about drugs and sex.
Third, those people who try to make changes in a community that does not adapt well to change are often ostracized and not supported. It didn't take long for my ally from the local newspaper to leave town. And it didn't take long for me to leave town. The challenges of addressing changes significant enough, and that lie so deep within a community's cultural fabric, are difficult. The support is often not there to make it worthwhile for someone to stick with it long enough to make much of a difference. It is a challenge to do the real work that is needed in small rural communities, in the Southern U.S. and elsewhere, that have such a lack of resources -- financial, emotional, spiritual.
Now the HIV infection rate is 39th of 100 counties (13.2 cases per year per 100,000 over the past five years). Of course, the fact that the county is no longer near the top of the list isn't due to the support of this newspaper editor. We can't really tell, but it's probably due to years of continued work by the local public health authority and its many partners -- including the HIV task force. But I like to think that it will make a difference to engage the right people and support them; that it will make a difference to get people to face issues in their community, think about them, and talk openly about them. That persistence pays. Take the long view and continue to do the right thing.

How Fish Feel Pain
Oxford University Press has just released Do Fish Feel Pain?, which can be purchased as a PDF through eBooks.com or as a physical book through online retailers.
Do Fish Feel Pain?
Braithwaite, Victoria
This multifaceted book explores recent scientific research of whether or not fish can experience pain but also explores human behavior in our relationship to and perception of fish.
We can no longer overlook mounting evidence that fish feel pain and suffer. To avoid eating mammalian flesh for ethical or moral reasons grounded in currently available evidence (that they suffer) requires including fish because evidence now shows that they, too, suffer violence because of their neurological capacities to organize sensation in complex bundles.

(CNN) -- Just hours after word began to spread about Ed Koch's death Friday morning it was already clear: The brash former New York mayor leaves behind a legacy that crosses generations and geography.
It's obvious across the Web, as tweeters and bloggers remember Koch as much more than a politician.
A "master showman of City Hall," tweeted one. Other words included "cultural icon," "great boss," and even "model of New York-iness."
The three-term mayor who served from 1978 to 1989 died Friday of congestive heart failure at age 88. During his prime, Koch wore his quotable comeback lines like badges of honor. @JenniferPrestion posted this one: "I can explain it to you, but I cannot comprehend it for you."
Opinion: Koch a friend and force to the end
Koch used quips as weapons against political foes on issues like racial tensions, labor unions, crime, the city's dwindling population and AIDS. In the end, he was "almost impossible to dislike," wrote John Avlon. "In this, he reflected the city."
The @mayoredkoch Twitter account remained active, featuring touching retweets. "So many memories of @mayoredkoch," wrote Evelyne Wade @ChezEvy. "Sang NY NY for him at City Hall. New York City will surely miss this feisty mayor and mensch!"
Koch's personality fed his widespread popularity. "Like his policies or not," Tweeted @EarlFando, "the man knew how to entertain."
"He was the first mayor to open for 'Saturday Night Live,'" wrote blogger Howard Barbanel. "He was Mr. New York long before the advent of Rudy Giuliani."
In 1978, Koch delivered a nice line about ulcers, as Salon.com recalled. "I'm the sort of person who will never get ulcers," the quote went. "Why? Because I say exactly what I think. I'm the sort of person who might give other people ulcers."
A younger generation may best remember Koch from his stint on TV's "People's Court," where during the late 90s, Koch sat in judgment over the show's endless parade of small-claims plaintiffs and defendants.
To me, @mayoredkoch was New York City like yellow cabs and the '86 Mets. Koch was New York like pigeons, pretzels and pizza.— Justin Brannan (@JustinBrannan) February 1, 2013
"Ed Koch has left this world to preside over the Big People's Court in the sky," posted @RossParsons. The mayor flexed his dramatic chops with minor roles on TV's "Spin City," and the 1996 film "City Hall."
In fact tweeter Betsie Huban @BetsietheBroker called Koch, "the most fun mayor NYC ever had." High praise in these days of frowning, stone-faced lawmakers who just can't get along.
"My first job in politics was working for Mayor Koch on transit & environmental issues," wrote Wendy Thurm @hangingsliders. "Great job. Great boss."
Often credited with reviving New York's ailing economy in the 1970s, one Tweeter said Koch was "the (right) man at the (right) time."
RIP Mayor Ed Koch.You were the most fun mayor NYC ever had.— Betsie Huben(@BetsietheBroker) February 1, 2013
But a lot of folks aren't talking about the man's policies or his political agenda. They're talking about the man himself. Like they knew him personally. Like he was the friendly neighbor down the block.
Decades before the spread of the Internet and its instant feedback, Koch got his feedback in the streets, sometimes standing at subway stations and asking voters, "How'm I doing?"
"In the '80s I got the pleasure of meeting Ed Koch a few times." wrote Laurie Lombardi @LL712. "Once I asked him, 'How's it going mayor?' He replied, 'I'm trying, kid.'"
Symbol. That's a powerful word.
RIP Ed Koch, as much a part of NY as Central Park, hot dog carts, the Yankees, the subway.A mayor of the people like few others...— ABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) February 1, 2013
And it's popping up a lot about Koch. The Alec Baldwin Foundation @ABFalecbaldwin wrote that Koch was "as much a part of New York as Central Park, hot dog carts, the subway. A mayor of the people like few others."
Many Facebook and Twitter posters are talking about Koch's desire to have his tombstone inscribed with the final words of terrorism victim Daniel Pearl: "My father is Jewish. My mother is Jewish. I am Jewish," which prompted Michelle Boorstein @mboorstein to tweet about "crying in the car during morning commute over Ed Koch's gravestone, modeled after Danny Pearl's."
So how'd he do? The answer to his signature question seems overwhelming: Not too shabby, Mr. Mayor.

TechStars Patriot Bootcamp: Advice from Generals and CTOsElmer Thomas
When military veterans return from service, they face the daunting task of re-assimilating back into civilian life. In the case of the veterans attending the second Techstars Patriot Bootcamp, under the RisingStars umbrella, they are going for the gold … entrepreneurship. Starting a business is an extreme challenge, even for the experienced, so SendGrid teamed up with Techstars to help these amazing people accelerate their journey, converting their passion to strategic action.
In addition to spending time in a mentor role (BIG thanks to SendGrid and Techstars for allowing me to do so) I had the great fortune to attend many of the sessions. In this post I will summarize what I learned in the hope that this information will prove helpful to both those that attended and other veterans who have aspirations to start a business. Much of this information is also helpful to entrepreneurs in general.
General George Casey
General George Casey reminded us that we are never alone in our endeavors and to never sell ourselves short. Military veterans are able to plan, organize, build a team and get things done in complex environments. These are all skills valuable to entrepreneurship. He also noted that vision without focused action is failure.
US CTO Todd Park
Todd Park, CTO of the US, introduced us to the amazing amount of free data provided by the US government followed by a sneak peek at the next version of the Data.gov website.
He encouraged us to find co-founders because you = awesome, but you + someone else = more awesome. Sorta like Voltron. He also advised that we must fall in love with our idea, so much so that we develop a passion for making sure the world has access to our idea.
We also learned of the Blue Button program, which gives patients access to their own data. By 2014 the government will give bonuses to doctors & hospitals that provide data to their patients in a consolidated CTA format (Blue Button Protocol), and use that data to provide meaningful guidance.
In addition, the RFPEZ program was introduced, allowing small businesses to easily bid on government contracts.
Finally, Mr. Park left us with these three keys to business:
- Are you solving an important/meaningful problem for a well defined customer?
- Does your customer have more money with you than without you?
- Does your company have a network effect. As you add customers, does it help the existing user base?
Former US CTO Aneesh Chopra
We were also treated to a talk by the former US CTO, Aneesh Chopra who told us about the best market opportunities today: government, healthcare (data driven prevention) and education (competency-based learning models).
Steve Blank
Steve Blank told us that "You are not smarter than the collective intelligence of your customers." Thus, the "get out of the building and talk to your customers" mantra. Check out his Business Model Generation tool and his free startup course on Udacity.
Uvize Founder David Cass
The Co-Founder and CEO of Uvize, David Cass recommended that we read Fred Wilson and Brad Feld's blogs as well as The Lean Startup, Do More Faster and Founders Dilemmas.
PivotDesk Founder David Mandell
David Mandell, Founder and CEO of PivotDesk taught us about rockin' the pitch. The number one thing to remember about pitching your business is that nobody cares! With that in mind, believe in what you do and tell the story.
Make sure you answer these questions when telling your story: Who is your target market, what is their pain, who are the competitors and what is your differentiation? If you are an iPad user, he recommends that you check out HaikuDeck.
AddThis CEO Ramsey McGrory
AddThis CEO, Ramsey McGrory suggested that we take the following three points to heart:
- Know yourself, find your story and inspire.
- Always be learning before always be closing. Knowledge compounds.
- Treat failure as a fork. Make a decision from this point about what to do.
Mr. McGrory also recommended we read The Startup Playbook, by David Kidder and watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
Global Accelerator Network's Patrick Riley
Patrick Riley, Director of GAN, told us that the two biggest problems for startups was 1) a focus on money and 2) not knowing what you need. He advised the creation of a type of business plan that consists of 12 slides that answer questions about market, product, revenue and team with an emphasis on keeping that plan lightweight. For help with the business plan, he suggested the Lean Startup Machine and Startup Weekend.
When emailing mentores, he advised to keep it down to three sentences that explain, who you are, what you are doing and what you need help with and why you are asking this particular question.
Mr. Riley suggested that we read Venture Deals and The Startup Owners Manual.
Fasttrac's Michele Markey
Michele Markey, Vice President of Fasttrac, told us about the Kauffman foundation's program for startups. There are options for every entrepreneur, with focuses on some under-represented groups like boomers, women and–of course–veterans.
Connections Through Mentorship
First of all, a big Thank You goes to the all the veterans that attended for their service both abroad and now here at home. The Techstars team deserves high fives, fist bumps and hugs for putting on a successful event, complete with amazing speakers, coaches, venues (yes, multiple venues) and logistics.
During the mentor sessions, I had the great opportunity to interact with 11 veteran entrepreneurs, I encourage you to check out their work:
- Airport Life – Making air travel easier.
- Bilingual Hire – Talent as a service.
- Pigeon.ly – A unique marketing service.
- LeanStartPad – iOS application development.
- FiggurItOut – Learn to create DIY projects.
- iHeartCommerce – Online retail company.
- ImageBridal – Wedding shopping.
- Armory – An open source wallet management platform for the Bitcoin network.
- FocaSocial – Web services.
- FocaNexus – Interactive social media display.
- HandymanStars – Find local handymen.
Whatever your current experience is, you can be a mentor to someone. Make a real effort to do so. In many cases, you will learn more than you teach. Pay it forward in your own life and to those whom you have influence over.

I pulled all the cenus' from 1820 with the name Bartow. I made an excelspreed sheet with all the Bartow's that have males 10 and under. There are 45 of them in 28 families. I looked up the Barto's also there are 5 of them in 5 families. I thought I would try and account for them see if I could narrow it down.
Looks like a lot of work.
When I first started looking at these census', there was an Anna Bartow listed in Owego, New York with a son 10 or under. In the same town is a Caleb Nichols. Need to see if he is any relation to Nancy. Anyway, Laurie is going to track this lead down. Hopefully there is something there. I am going to try and cross some of these off my list.
Last night I found Nancy (Nichols) Bartow family. Well I am 95% sure.
Some of her census lists her as being born in New Hampshire and some say Pennsylvania.
Her father is Samuel Nichols born in 1794. This is what the article says
"Nichols, C.W., Spring Creek, was born in Spring Creek in 1849. He is a manufacturer of lumber and shingles, and a farmer, owns several hundred acres of timber land, and has done very much to advance the business interests of the town. He was married in 1876 to Mary A. Catlin. They have had four children born to them - Helen, Irene, Rue, and Bessie. His father, Calvin Nichols, was born in Genesee county, N.Y., in 1822, and married Irene Sanford, who was born in Batavia, Genesee county, N.Y., in 1827. They had a family of six children born to them - C.W., Mary, Flora, Orley, Etta, and Dewey. C.W.'s paternal grandfather, Samuel Nichols, was born in New Hampshire in 1794, and served in the War of 1812. He married S. Townsind, and to them were born nine children, five of whom are now living - Nancy, Calvin, Ira, Ratio, and Clarissa"
I am thinking her mother is either Sarah or Sally, I can't remember what I decided, but I am pretty sure her maiden name was Townsend not Townsind.
I feel pretty good about finding this, I searched a long time for any proof that Nancy's family existed.

I will be following your search with interest. While I do not have either Barto or Nichols ancestors both surnames figure into my research.ReplyDelete
I have John C Barto (son of Francis) because two of his daughters married into my Wisner line. A cousin that descends from one of those lines has his tree online and perhaps he has more information.
In my Carlisle line I have Cyrus R Nichols (b abt 1816 VT) of Bethany, Genesee, NY. He married Eliza A Carlisle. I have not done much research on him but will note that Bethany is not far from Batavia in one direction nor from Arcade, Wyoming county in another, so it is possible that he is somehow related to your line.
Happy Hunting!

By Jocelyn VerVelde, TTU Sports Information Coordinator
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Tech volleyball team heads to the University of Akron this weekend to compete in the Akron Invitational on Friday and Saturday. Tech looks to continue it's momentum from a 2-1 start on opening weekend. Tech will be facing host Akron along with Milwaukee and Niagara.
"The third match last weekend really showed some growth for us as a group and for the program," said head coach Dave Zelenock. "We played with energy, we played fast, and we held our technique for long stretches of time. If we can start the weekend near that level and continue to improve our efficiency, I really couldn't ask for more. If we happen to get some wins while we're at it, that would be nice too, but we're looking at the long term and have an eye on the Ohio Valley Conference. Our big focus is making sure we're making improvements throughout the non-conference so we're ready for that."

What's In Store This Weekend
"This weekend will be another great test for our team," Zelenock said. "Akron is a team I know very well, they have a great balance of technique and athleticism. They are fighters and we know going in that we will have to take every point, they aren't going to give us anything. I expect Milwaukee to be very good, they have played some very good teams already this year and come up just short. Being from the Midwest, I know almost everyone on that roster and they have quality kids who know how to play. Niagara is coming off an 0-3 weekend so I'm sure they will be playing hungry. I don't know their team or staff as well, so it's hard to say what they will throw at us, but we will scout them on film and in person."
Versus Akron (Live Stats / Video Stream)
The Zips opened up their season 2-0, beating both Indiana State and Ohio Valley Conference opponent SIU Edwardsville. Akron was led by senior outside hitter Alex Cocklin, who had 23 kills on the weekend, and was named Most Valuable Player of the SIUE Cougar Classic. Tech plays Akron at 12 p.m. CDT Friday.
Versus Milwaukee (Live Stats / Video Stream)
The Panthers went 0-3 in their opening weekend, losing to Oklahoma, Western Michigan and Northwestern. Panther senior middle blocker Rachel Neuberger led the team on the weekend with 35 kills and 11 blocks. Tech plays Milwaukee at 3:30 p.m. Friday.
Versus Niagara (Live Stats / Video Stream)
The Purple Eagles started the 2013 season 0-3, losing to Buffalo twice and once to Temple. Niagara was led by sophomore middle blocker Melissa McGwin, who had 23 kills and 11 blocks. Tech plays Niagara at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
"We have some challenges in front of us this weekend, some on our end and some coming from across the net. The real test is going to be how this group reacts to the challenges. How the team bands together and fights is going to be fun to watch," said Zelenock.
Things You Should Know
Ohio homecoming
Senior Elise Robertson and juniors Ellen Conti and Madison Keyes return to their home state of Ohio this weekend as Tech heads to Akron. Robertson is from Strongsville, Ohio, which is located one hour from Akron. Conti is from Grove City, Ohio, which is two-and-a-half hours from Akron, and Keyes is a Cincinnati native and is from roughly four hours away.
Hancock sets career-high … twice
Senior setter Ashleigh Hancock set a career-high with 32 assists in Tech's match up with Savannah State, besting her previous high by one. She then turned around in the very next match versus Fordham to dish out a career-high 38 assists.
Smith and Dodd named to Winthrop Invitational All-Tournament Team
Junior libero Courtney Smith and sophomore middle blocker Cody Dodd were named to the Winthrop Invitational All-Tournament Team after leading Tech to a 2-1 record. Smith led the TTU defense with 30 digs on the weekend, including a season-high 15 versus Fordham. Dodd was stellar all weekend, tallying 26 kills and just five errors for a hitting percentage of .438. She also added seven blocks and five service aces. She ended her awesone weekend with a thunderous match-winning kill versus Fordham (Click here for video evidence).
Tech starts season 2-1
The Tennessee Tech volleyball team opened up the season with wins over Savannah State and Fordham and a loss to Winthrop at the Winthrop Invitational. The two wins for Tech marks the first time the program has left an opening weekend with a winning record since 2007. It's also only the third time it has happened in the past 11 seasons.

MAWA: Celebrating 30 Years of Women's Art
This year Mentoring Artists for Women's Art (MAWA) celebrates its thirtieth anniversary. For three decades this local arts organization has earned an international reputation for encouraging and supporting the intellectual and creative development of women artists, arts writers, and curators in this city.
Formed under the umbrella of the then artist-run Plug In Gallery in 1984, MAWA was created in response to women artists receiving fewer exhibition opportunities and academic positions than men, despite forming the majority of art school graduates. MAWA sought to ameliorate these inequalities by providing educational opportunities. Today MAWA has over 200 members, approximately eighty percent of whom reside in Winnipeg.
At the heart of its programming is MAWA's Foundation Mentorship Program which involves pairing established women artists with emerging women artists to share skills and professional networks, and provide critique and feedback. Since 1985, over 200 women artists have benefited from participation in this intensive year-long program, working with artists at the top of their fields. Since 2008 it has partnered with different Winnipeg-based arts organizations each year to add an additional mentor and thereby open the program to different communities. For example, they have included mentors and mentorees from La maison des artistes, Urban Shaman Gallery, Manitoba Craft Council, and most recently, Arts and Disability Network Manitoba. MAWA has collaborated with Manitoba Arts Network in presenting six-month rural mentorships in a different region of Manitoba annually since 2010. In 2006 the Aboriginal Women and Mentorship Program was launched, and has since led to Indigenous mentors and participants being actively integrated into all programs.
Over the years MAWA has instigated a wide range of programs in response to the evolving needs of the community. The majority of these programs are offered at low or no-cost to people of all genders. At present, programs include symposia, publications, residencies, exhibitions, local artist talks, international curatorial talks and studio visits, lectures, skills-based workshops, professional practices workshops, a contemporary craft program, film screenings, an artist-mothers group, and field trips.
This selection of artwork, drawn from Winnipeg Art Gallery's permanent collection reflects various members, mentors, mentorees, and program participants over MAWA's history. The WAG congratulates MAWA on this milestone anniversary, and recognizes it for its integral role within the fabric of Winnipeg's art community.

|James Sirius Potter
|Biographical Information
c. 2003 – 2005[1],
|Blood status
|Physical Information
|Hair color
|Skin color
|Family Members
James Sirius[4] Potter was the eldest child of Harry and Ginny Potter (née Weasley). His godparents, as well as uncle and aunt, are Ron and Hermione Granger.[5] He has two younger siblings: Albus and Lily. James was named after his paternal grandfather, James Potter I and his father's godfather, Sirius Black.
Early lifeEdit
In 2014, James, along with his family, attended the finale of the Quidditch World Cup in the Patagonian Desert. A few days before the match, his father introduced him and his younger brother Albus to the Bulgarian National Quidditch team Seeker, and an old associate of his father, Viktor Krum.
Hogwarts yearsEdit
James was seen going to Hogwarts on 1 September, 2017 with Albus, who was just starting his first year. James, being the oldest child, had already been attending Hogwarts, but it is not specified which year he was entering. Contemporaries at school include his cousins Victoire and Rose, as well as Draco Malfoy's son Scorpius, though they are in different years.
When his family gathered to see him and his brother off at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, King's Cross Station on 1 September, 2017, James interrupted his cousin Victoire snogging Teddy Lupin, and then ran off to tell his family and other relatives. He was disappointed when they did not react strongly.[6] At some point, James would also steal the Marauder's Map from his father's desk drawer.[7]
Physical appearanceEdit
James like his younger brother, Albus, takes after their paternal family in looks. As he did not have the same almond-shaped green eyes as his father and paternal grandmother, he may have inherited his mother's bright brown eyes. James did, however, inherit his father's untidy jet black hair. He has mostly his father's and grandfather's facial features.
Personality and traitsEdit
- "You interrupted them? You are so like Ron —"
- —Ginny to her son.[src]
James is much like his uncle, Ron Weasley, for his poor timing and knack for interfering with other people's love lives. He also seems to have inherited his sense of humor and love for mischief from his two uncles, Fred and George Weasley, and having a fondness for teasing his siblings and making mischief.
He is also very much like his two namesakes, James Potter I and Sirius Black, in his mischievous and trouble-making nature.
- Marauder's map: The Marauder's Map was made by his grandfather and namesake James, along with his friends during their time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It once belonged to his father Harry and was one of his most treasured possessions. At some point he stole the map out of his father's desk.
- Wand: It can be assumed that before boarding the Hogwarts Express, James and his family traveled to Ollivander's wand shop in Diagon Alley and their he bought his wand. His wand is of unknown length, wood, and core type.
- Owl: When boarding the Hogwarts Express it was shown that he had a owl in a cage resting on top of his school bag and trunk.
James has a very strong connection with both of his parents, even though he does not want to show it in front of other people, especially girls and friends. Still, he permitted his parents' hugs and kisses (from his mother) before rushing off to the Hogwarts Express in 2017, and wrote to them three times a week the previous year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Siblings and cousinsEdit
James is the oldest of three children, and he enjoys teasing his younger siblings Albus and Lily. However, he is on good terms with both of them. James is willing to move into Albus's room if Teddy moves in; Harry, however, thinks such an act would be a disaster, saying that James and Albus "will share a room only when I want the house demolished." This might imply that James and Albus frequently argue with one another — more than what is seen at King's Cross in 2017, anyway.
James has many cousin, like Rose who is close in age with his brother and in the same year at Hogwarts and Hugo who is the same age as his sister, Lily.
Teddy LupinEdit
When James saw Teddy kissing Victoire, he ran to tell his family, but he was disappointed with their reaction. However, he shared his younger sister's and Albus's desire for Teddy to become an official member of the extended Potter-Weasley family.
- James is a Hebrew name from the name Jacob, meaning "Heel" as in Genesis narrative, Jacob was born grasping Esau's heel and later bought his birthright. This was the name of James's grandfather and the middle name of his father.
- Sirius is the meaning of "Star" as it is the brightest star seen from Earth, it is also the Dog Star from Ancient Greek Mythology as he was Orion's dog. This is the name of James's father's godfather.
- Potter is a very common surname of English origin. It traditionally refers to the occupation of making pottery. Beatrix Potter was a well-known English children's author.
- Potter's Field is the name for a burial ground for the unknown or unclaimed dead, particularly soldiers and orphans; the Potter family had many members that fit that description.
- The Potter Box is a model for making ethical decisions developed at Harvard University.
Behind the scenesEdit
- James is portrayed in the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 by Will Dunn.
- James Potter II is the main character in the book James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing (and associated sequels), a non-canonical continuation of the Harry Potter series endorsed by (though not actually connected or affiliated with) J. K. Rowling.[8]
- James was given the names of two Marauders and it is said that he stole the Marauder's Map from his father's desk drawer. It is unknown if he shared the map with his friends or siblings.
- It is also interesting to note that James teased his younger brother Albus, who was named partially after Severus Snape, just like how his paternal grandfather James Potter I teased Severus Snape. However, apart from that, they are likely close to each other.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (video game) (Mentioned only)
- J.K. Rowling: A Year in the Life (Mentioned only)
- LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7
Notes and referencesEdit
- ↑ James's age is not revealed in the epilogue of Deathly Hallows, but J. K. Rowling stated in an interview that his mother, Ginevra Weasley, spent a "few years" playing for the Holyhead Harpies, and then "retired to have her family". As Ginny graduated from Hogwarts in June 1999, and a "few years" implies at least three years, the earliest she could have retired to have James is June 2002, assuming she joined the team immediately after graduation. Depending on the length of the gestational period, the earliest James could have been born is late 2002 or early 2003. He is at least a year older than his younger brother Albus, who was born between late 2005 and mid-2006.

How To Become a Millionaire In Your Spare Time
Sonja Mishek
Author and Millionaire Coach
Do your kids think money grows on trees?
Do you worry your kids may end up in debt when they grow up?
Do you worry about them living paycheck to paycheck and not saving a dime?
And are you concerned with their spending habits?
If so, you're not alone.
Sadly, most kids don't have a clue how to handle money...and will most likely make costly mistakes...no matter how high their salary is...that will cause them years of struggle and stress.
The First and most important skill you need to teach your kids to be self sufficient is...
Not how to save money...
But How to make their own money.
If they don't learn and practice how to earn money...how will they ever be able to save their own money? Check out this quick job for kids to make money online in your spare time...
Did You Know That...
The largest group of people filing for bankruptcies today are UNDER The Age Of 25?
The Number One reason couples divorce today is due to money problems and stress?
Or that a large number of young adults today are moving back home to live with Mom and Dad because they're not good with their money?
That's why it's SO important for you to teach your kids how to develop smart money habits.
Kids who master money as a child or teen have a much better chance of beating the odds and becoming a financial success...
Start their own business some day and not end up stuck working at a dead end job because they need the money...or working for a boss they hate.
They'll also have happy, healthy relationships...
And simply have the money and freedom to do whatever they want to do - without worrying about not having enough money.
My name is Sonja Mishek and I'm by no means an expert.
But I do have a BA in Commercial Economics and have been a tax preparer, credit analyst, small business owner, and real estate investor for over 20 some years now.
But more importantly, I'm a proud parent.
Not only do I want the very best for my four kids...Rachel (17), Tony (15), Matthew (13), and Maria (11).
I want my kids to be...
and of course, Financially Secure...
My goal is to help as many kids as I can to also be financially independent.
And that's what this website is all about...tips and techniques on how to teach your kids smart money habits so they can become self-made, self-sufficient, successful millionaires.
And generous millionaires besides.
Even if they never make a six-figure doctor's income...and choose to make an average teacher's salary.
So they'll save for their future and not fall into the all-to-common debt trap.
One of the very first...and most important lessons your kids must learn is a strong work ethic and how to make their own money.
Do your kids earn an allowance?
Do you pay them to do extra chores around the house?
Or do they make extra money babysitting or mowing the neighbor's lawn?
If you have a minute, could you please Fill Out a Quick Survey On the Top 10 Reasons Your Kids Want to Make Money?
Allowance is a touchy subject. Many parents don't believe in paying their kids a red cent for doing chores around the house. After all, it's work that needs to be done.
On the other hand, some parents believe that kids "deserve" an allowance for simply being a part of the family.
Personally, I believe that an allowance is not an "inalieable right", simply because my kids are born.
My own kids earn a "conditional allowance." There are certain chores that are expected to be done, simply because they live and make a mess in our home.
Take a peek at my popular Insider's Secrets to raising average broke kids to become future millionaires...Even if they never make a doctor's salary!
It doesn't matter how old your kids are...whether or not they become doctors or engineers...or even how large or how small their starting salary is.
Your kids can become millionaires.
If they practice smart millionaire habits, they can build up a million dollar or more net worth and never have to be stuck working at a dead end job they hate.
Wouldn't it be nice if your kids never had to worry about not having enough money...or living paycheck to paycheck?
If you help your kids start saving, investing, and budgeting their money from a young age, they'll be ahead of 99% of most people.
And they'll have a nice nest egg to use for their education, buy a home, or even start their own business.
Even on an average salary of $44,000.
How Can I Be So Sure?
Because I've done it myself and others have too...teachers, auctioneers, customer service representatives, computer programmers, and many more.
Here's how my own four kids are making an average of $50 dollars a week...
It can be done.
So take a peek around, you'll find all sorts of financial tips and resources about...
How to encourage your kids to share and be generous to help make the world a better place...

SELECT * FROM table(multiset(select a, b, c from tab1, tab2 where tab1.a = tab2.c)) vt(va, vb, vc),emptab WHERE vt.va = emptab.id;a, b, c: columns of any data type
SELECT * from table((select coll_dat from sales_tab)) AS c_table(s_month, s_day);coll_dat: should be a collection data type column
SELECT * from table(function f1());f1(): an iterator function
In IDS 11.10, the above statements can be written in the same way or you can re-write them as:
SELECT * FROM (select a, b, c from tab1, tab2 where tab1.a = tab2.c) vt(va, vb, vc), emptab WHERE vt.va = emptab.id;f1(): f1() can be any function
SELECT * from (select coll_dat from sales_tab) AS c_table(s_month, s_day);
SELECT * from table(f1());
These sub-queries in the FROM clause are called derived tables or table expressions. You can use simple, UNION, orjoined sub-queries, including OUTER joins, and can include the ORDER BY clause. You can also write nestedFROM clause queries and can combine old and new syntax in a SQL statement. Here is an example:
select * from (select * from (select col1 from tab3 where col1 = 10 order by col2 desc)),table(multiset(select col1 from tab2 where col1 = 20)) order by 1 ;
The derived table support in IDS 11.10 enhances its capability to execute queries that complies with the SQL-92 standard without any modifications.

I have fallen for blueberries in a big way but I'm not the only one. British blueberry consumption is soaring – at the turn of the century (i.e. 2000) only 1,000 tonnes of blueberries were sold in Britain each year; now the figure is 15,000 tonnes (according to the BBC). It was only relatively recently I first tasted a blueberry – I don't recall them at all from my childhood.
Blueberries lend themselves beautifully to baking either holding their shape and bursting with juice in your mouth, or collapsing and infusing the sponge with their rich indigo colour. It's what I'd term a win-win.
This is a satisfying cake as the flavours are simple but effective. Preparation time is virtually nothing – I had it in the oven within 10 minutes of starting! The use of golden caster sugar enhances the sponge with almost a hint of caramel and it contrasts well with the berries. Texturally too, the crumbly sponge and the juicy berries are a match made in heaven.
I always tell my eaters the bare minimum of what the cake is to see what they can detect (it keeps them on their toes, plus how else do you think I got any takers for the sprout cake!); this cake was pitched to them as "blueberry sponge". Everyone asked what else was in the sponge as it tasted moister and softer than usual – that would be the sour cream!
Don't panic if the blueberries settle a bit towards the bottom of the cake – they did in mine, and they did in the original recipe too.
You could dress this cake up with frosting but I fancied it left plain with some thick cream on the side. You could, of course, substitute the blueberries for any similar berry of your choice.
175g unsalted butter, at room temperature
175g golden caster sugar, plus 2 tablespoons extra to sprinkle on top
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
225g self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons (60ml) soured cream
250g blueberries
To serve: cream
Preheat the oven to 180˚C/fan oven 160˚C/350˚F/gas mark 4.
Line a 20cm round springform tin with baking paper.
Beat together the butter and sugar until it is whippy and pale. Take your time over this as your cake will be lighter for it.
Beat in the eggs one at a time. If the mixture looks like it might curdle add some of the flour to stop it.
Beat in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the flour and baking powder.
Fold in the soured cream.
Carefully stir in the blueberries; some may collapse but don't worry – this will give the sponge a lovely colour!
Spoon into the prepared cake tin and level the surface.
Sprinkle the extra caster sugar over the top.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Leave to cool, in the tin, on a wire rack.
Remove the cake tin when it is cool enough to handle, and place the cake back on the wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight tin.
Serve with thick cream.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. AND LYNCHBURG, Va. (April 2, 2010) - Duronal Monal (Belle Glade, Fla.) led the charge for the Bucs at the Florida Relays on Friday night, as the senior sprinter won his heat in the 100m and tied for fourth overall with an impressive time of 10.30 inside James G. Presley Stadium.
Monal, who is coming off his best indoor season at ETSU, made his outdoor debut in flying fashion on Friday. The Belle Glade, Fla. native enjoyed making the trip to his home state, as his mark should place him in the top-10 among competitors in the NCAA East Region.
Meanwhile, as James sprinted his way to the finish line in the 100m, junior Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) also won his heat in the 110m hurdles. James, who is fresh off his record-breaking time in the event last weekend at Western Carolina, finished 16th overall on Friday with a time of 14.44.
Rounding things out for the Bucs on Friday night was junior Jasmine Ingram's (Frederick, Md.) effort in the 400m. Like James, Ingram also set a new facility record in the 400m last weekend in Cullowhee, N.C. (54.50), and on Friday night the Frederick, Md. native ran her second-fastest time in the event - finishing in 55.49.
"I am really pleased with how all three of them performed today," added associate track and field coach Michelle Bynre. "They ran in extremely hot conditions, which are something we haven't faced yet in Johnson City, but each of them handled it well. Despite not being challenged in his heat, I thought Duronal ran exceptionally well. He is coming off his best indoor season at ETSU, and he is now carrying all those positive results with him to the outdoor track. This bodes really well for him as the season progresses. We definitely saw a mark of improvements today, and we look to carry the momentum with us next weekend into the Sea Relays."
While the trio of Buccaneer sprinters were racing in Florida, senior Jordan Briggs (Erwin, Tenn.) and freshman Matt Hill (Signal Mountain, Tenn.) were busy competing in the decathlon up at the Liberty Invitational in Lynchburg, Va.
After the first-day of the grueling two-day completion Briggs is sitting in eighth (2975 points), while Hill is right behind in ninth (2812).
The ETSU track and field team returns to action on Saturday when a large contingent of athletes competes in day two of the Liberty Invitational.
