How to Stick with Your Fitness Routine
Most of us have tried to commit to a fitness routine at least once. It may be our New Year's resolution or the beginning of summer and bikini season. However, for whatever reason many of us end up falling a little short of our fitness goals. We all can easily come up with an excuse to drop our fitness routines, even when we know the many benefits associated with working out consistently. However, we all need to look at exercise as a necessity and make getting fit a priority. When we do this, we should find it much easier to stick with our fitness routines. Here are a few tips that should help you along the way.
Set a smart goal
You need to have some sort of goal in mind when you begin a fitness routine. Your goal needs to be one that will motivate you and help you stick with your fitness routine. You want something that is challenging, but do-able. In other words, you should not begin a fitness routine thinking you are going to lose twenty pounds in a week. This is impossible and will only leave you frustrated and wanting to quit before you start. Now, if you aim to lose two pounds a week, then you could work hard and reach this goal, and once you reach your goal, you will start gaining some momentum. You will be excited to workout and proud of your progress.
Stay moving on rest days
Movement is important. Remember what they say "a body at rest stays at rest and a body in motion stays in motion." Habits that we are founding can die fast if we aren't doing something daily. On your rest days, make it your aim to take 15 minutes to stretch or do light movement, such as a stroll or gardening. The aim here is simply to keep a routine established, not necessarily focusing on another workout.
Make a killer playlist
Nothing can get you pumped up and ready to go like music. Music can be energizing and motivating at the same time. Just put on some of your favorite tunes and see how fast you are ready to take on the world. You are now powerful and invincible. If you're really savvy, plan the best songs for the hardest portion of your workout routine. (You know where that super long hill is, plan the most pumping song for that exact moment).
It can be a little hard trying to stick with our fitness routine. The good news? Once you're in about a week, mentally, you don't want to start back at zero, and that motivates you! Give it 7 days and see what happens!

Hi all, unfortunately I've joined in order to find a solution to my hacked laptop. I have a HP Pavilion g7 notebook computer, and somehow my roommates within the home wifi system are able to see where I go online. I have stopped remote access, file sharing, and even took it to GeekSquad to have Windows removed and then put back on. The latter seemed to work once, then I don't know if they had enough time to gain access to my computer to mess with it again or if they have some other way (RF signal?) to monitor internet use. I've tried a VPN but it didn't appear to work. I know because said roommates can't keep their mouths shut about this and sound really travels in this house. I have a way now of securing the laptop physically when I'm in the house and I take it out with me wherever I go. Until I can afford to move, is there any way to get them off my computer and prevent these jerks from accessing it again? One of them used to work with computers and also knows people in the field, so she would have access to pretty sophisticated means of hacking.
The wifi system is AT&T U-verse, if that helps.

Verlander begins quest to return to top form
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Now Justin Verlander can admit it: He wanted this.
Verlander would've understood if Max Scherzer had gotten the nod to start on Opening Day, ending his streak of six consecutive starts for the opener, but he wanted it.
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Now Justin Verlander can admit it: He wanted this.
Verlander would've understood if Max Scherzer had gotten the nod to start on Opening Day, ending his streak of six consecutive starts for the opener, but he wanted it.
"It was kind of like the carrot in front of the horse," he said last week. "It gave me something to strive for."
Physically, he wanted to be ready for Opening Day after core muscle repair surgery in January. Beyond that, however, he wanted to pitch well enough to say he deserved it.
Opening Day, however, is just the start for him, literally and figuratively.
"I'm feeling like I have something to prove," he said. "I feel like I had something to prove in the postseason last year, and I feel like I've got something to prove this year."
Twenty shutout innings in Spring Training, with just eight hits and five walks allowed, and 17 batters fanned, proved to be the opening statement.
When Verlander went through his struggles last year, proving that even the nastiest pitcher in baseball can deal with being a mere mortal on the mound during what should be the prime of his career, he had the postseason as his deadline for getting where he wanted to be. He responded by shutting down Oakland in the American League Division Series, including a dominant performance in the fifth and deciding game.
He now says he wasn't right, not even in the postseason. He straightened out his mechanical issues well enough to be effective, but not to be at his best. He wants to erase the memory, muscular and mental, of 2013, even if many Major League pitchers would take it.
"I think I've proven what I wanted to prove in Spring Training, which is healthwise I'm fine. Now it's performance," he said. "I want to pitch like I'm supposed to pitch. I hold myself to a higher standard than I think anybody could, and I expect to pitch to that.
"I expect to pitch like I know I can. Last year I didn't. What caused that, I don't know. But there's no doubt in my mind if it was anything other than just me, if it was something else going on, if it was the surgery, if it was the injury, that's behind me. Now the only thing to worry about is pitching and getting back to being myself."
By "myself," he means the guy who fell a vote shy of back-to-back Cy Young Awards to go with an AL MVP honor. He means the guy who was nearly two full wins better in terms of WAR than any other Major League pitcher from 2011 through '12. He means the biting curveball, the pinpoint command, and the ability to get a crowd thinking about a possible no-hitter on any given summer evening after just an inning or two.
His off year wasn't as off as he might characterize it. He still finished seventh among Major League pitchers in WAR, above standouts such as Yu Darvish, Chris Sale, Jon Lester and Hisashi Iwakuma, eighth in innings pitched and tops in pitches thrown.
He wants to prove that last season was an outlier in a career still in its peak seasons, rather than the start of a trend. More than once this spring, he used the comparison of a fine wine, one that gets better with age. Considering he just turned 31 and has no history of arm injury in his career, the analogy doesn't seem necessary.
Then again, considering he has led the Majors in pitches thrown in each of the last three seasons, and has thrown nearly 1,500 pitches more than anyone else in baseball since his rookie season of 2006, maybe he should expect speculation about whether and when wear and tear will settle in.
The core muscle injury that was repaired in January wouldn't seem to fit that description, though he has said in recent weeks that he suspects it bothered him last season. While offseason training left him with what amounted to a sports hernia on his left side, surgery ended up finding lingering damage to the right side as well.
His recovery from such an issue, not just to get back to pitching but to pitch as well as he did this spring, was startling -- for some, at least.
"Did it amaze me? No, not really, based on everything I've been told about him," manager Brad Ausmus said. "He's an extremely hard worker. I've been around a number of pitchers who were like that. It's a little bit of a rarity. They have the stuff to be successful, but they have the work ethic to make them one of the greatest in the game. [Roger] Clemens was that way. [Roy] Halladay was that way, from what I heard."
All the while, Verlander was looking for the tweak that would work. He believes he found it watching video this spring and realizing his shoulders weren't level in his delivery last year, and they were in 2011 and '12.
It could have been the root that he couldn't find all last year, possibly injury related. It could be a minor issue that simply pushes him. Either way, the correction -- physically or mentally -- has gotten him rolling.
"I think it's about as close as I'm going to get," Verlander said. "I think it's past working on it. Now it's trying to repeat and keep where I'm at. …
"I don't know whether, coming off the surgery, it's going to take a little while to get back where I need to or not. We'll find out when the lights turn on."

We would like for the overall feeling to be Professional and Creative. It could be contemporary or traditional. Mountainish or Urban, but it needs to be Energetic.

Two Ways to Wear a Bold Lip
BY: Sara Tremblay | Sep 27, 2013
A bold lip immediately draws the eye, and at New York Fashion Week in February, all eyes were on Costello Tagliapietra's collection. The models strutted down the runway with a classic red lip, layered in pigmented fuchsia shadow that added dimension as well as vibrancy. The look screamed high-fashion, but its fun twist on traditional lip makeup isn't restricted to the runway. In fact, it can even brighten up a work outfit. Makeup artist Jen Brown demonstrates the beauty of boldness by creating two looks—one natural, one dramatic—that play off of the Fall 2013 trend. FOR A NATURAL LOOK Bold lips don't have to be over the top, says Jen, who gave our model Colleen a softer, peachier version of a pigmented tangerine lip. "Sheer lipsticks give a light wash of color without overpowering the look," she explains, applying a conditioner to Colleen's lips followed by a coat of Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti. She finishes with a touch of lip gloss at the center of the lips, lending them "a fuller appearance." FOR A DRAMATIC LOOK As cooler months approach, many people shy from tangerine's sunny hue. Not Oscar de la Renta, though. He paired it perfectly with his Fall 2013 collection, which is full of mustard yellow, cobalt blue, and deep plum-colored fabrics. Jen takes a similarly fearless approach to a bold tangerine lip. She delineates Colleen's lip shape with a "really bright orange lip liner." Next, she fills in the lines with a Make Up For Ever Aqua Rogue lipstick in Bright Orange, exclaiming that these lipsticks "are amazing" because of their 24-hour, waterproof formula. Finally, she applies a coat of clear gloss for a polished look that pops. To complement this trend with another, see a past tutorial on ponytails. Photo: © Stephanie Bassos, Groupon

The tragic bombing at Monday's Boston Marathon was senseless in all respects. Three were killed and 176 wounded, at least nine of whom were critically injured. An eight-year-old boy died; his mother and sister were severely wounded. A Boston University graduate student was killed, as was a 29-year-old female caterer. Such random violence has its own strategic impact and, no doubt, the imprint on the lives of those most directly involved will last a lifetime. The incident also will be remembered for years to come on this anniversary — but probably not in the ways the assailant(s) intended.
Yes, there were moments of terror. Yes, lives will be changed and personal hardships will have to be overcome, and perhaps even the way the nation holds big races like this will be altered to protect against future assaults. Backpacks and gear bags near the finish line will likely be a thing of the past.
But will the national psyche be more timid to be out and about? Absolutely not. On the contrary, when tragedy strikes, the national psyche is to rally around those hurt, form tighter communities, and become more dedicated to fight back against such madness.
Said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Tuesday: "During the marathon we are one family. We cheer for each other, we carry each other across the finish lines. And when tragedy strikes, we are also one family. We hurt together, we help each other together."
For runners at such events going forward, the races (for a time) will be done not with a sense of foreboding, but with a sense of defiance and the personal pride of not shrinking from fear of the unknown. We do such events for the love of living life fully; threats to undermine that will forever be met and overcome with a stronger sense of community and purpose.
"I'll be back, of course," said Tim Walline, 48, an eye surgeon from Kansas City, Mo., who ran in this year's race. "Don't let the bad guys get the upper hand."

Search Results for: Bridgestone Turanza ER30 1 Available Tires Options
The Turanza ER30 is Bridgestone's Grand Touring Summer tire often used as Original Equipment on sports cars, coupes, sedans and SUVs like the Mazda Miata, BMW 3- Series, 7- Series and X5, as well as the Porsche Cayenne. It was developed to blend looks and handling with good noise levels and ride comfort, as well as provide traction on wet and dry roads. Like all summer tires, the Turanza ER30 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
On the outside, the Turanza ER30 molds a summer tread compound into a symmetric tread design. Large rectangular tread blocks provide responsive handling and traction on dry roads, while lateral and circumferential tread grooves help evacuate water from under the tire's footprint to enhance wet traction and reduce hydroplaning. Internally, the Turanza ER30 features twin steel belts reinforced by spiral wrapped nylon to stabilize the tread area to enhance handling and high-speed capability. The Turanza ER30 features a rayon or polyester cord body (depending upon application) to enhance ride.
Bridgestone Turanza ER30 tire's sidewall styling features subtle black letters reversed out of a circumferential serrated band.

Indy Socks
Indy Socks provides people with colourful socks. We help those people in the corporate world fight the tyranny of the black sock. They are for the people who check into the corporate ivory tower every day, each time putting a small part of themselves on hold. It's for the people who wear a suit, or a uniform, who want that little part of their personality to show through. Who want people to recognise that they are not your average podslave, but someone agitating for a better world through their actions everyday, ivory tower or not.
Indy Socks is the sock of choice for change agents, for the people who work to make this world a better place through their interactions with the everyday. They are the Socks for Do-ers.
We are targeting professional men, who are aged between 20 and 35 years old. Primarily, we will be targetting those in the creative industries; such as advertising, design and other similar professions.
We're aiming to target the one person in each organisation that already wears colourful socks. You know who that is. Chances are, you've seen them at lunch or walking up the stairs. That one person who is already fighting the tyranny of the black sock. That one person who is already working on changing things and who wants' people to know that he is working on something great. We believe that those people are in every organisation, all over the globe.
We want to support them in their endeavours to make a change, by giving them the socks they deserve and need to get it all done.
I need the logo designed for use in a website and newsletter initially. Please see below for more info.
I have no firm idea about what the logo should look like, but I know how I would like it to feel and what style it should be.
1 Style) I'm looking for a street-art style with a bit of a polished overlay. I want this piece of graffiti art (http://www.flickr.com/photos/votepr…211498773/) to be matched with the look and feel of http://www.vimeo.com.
The logo can be either just the words IndySocks/ Indy Socks or can be a logo you create yourself which you think the brand I have discussed above.
It should be edgy and fun, with an air of 'professional rebellion.' I'm keen for it to be a colourful design. More colourful graffiti rather than grunge.
I quite like the work of the following artists/works as inspiration:
2 Colours) I'm keen to see the design in a black and white option as well as your full colour design.
3 Tagline) I'm keen to use any of the following taglines, depending on your design and what you think works.
1) Fight the tyranny of the black sock
2) The sock for change agents
3) The sock for people who make things happen
4) DO socks

Bissinger's Lemon Ginger Yuzu Gummi Pandas
Bissinger's now makes six different varieties of gummi bears with exotic flavors and extra vitamin enhancements.
The Lemon Ginger Yuzu Gummy Pandas are described on the little gusseted stand up bag as exotic yuzu paired with invigorating ginger and lemon rich in vitamin C.
Like many other Bissinger's candies, these are quite expensive. Some American made gummis sell for as little as $2.00 a pound (the Albanese World's Best Gummis at dollar stores) where these are about $16.00 a pound, however, Bissinger's does offer a bit more in the way of unique flavors and premium ingredients. As part of their naturals line, the Lemon Ginger Yuzu Gummy Pandas are made from organic sweetners. They also use all natural ingredients including natural colors and flavors. They're also advertised as gluten free. The only weird thing in the list was fractionated coconut oil, which is the second to the last item, which means it's probably the coating that keeps the gummis from sticking together.
They smell quite citrusy, like a combination of key limes and grapefruit. The Yuzu is related to grapefruits and has a definite pomelo note to it, bitter and a little bit on the pine side. The ginger provides a wonderful woodsy and warming note to the cold bitterness of the oily citrus. Lemon kind of mellows it all out.
The gummi texture is soft and bouncy, moist and overall rather sweet and smooth.
I love yuzu, citrus in general and ginger. Plus, these are nicely made gummis. But I'm still not able to love them. Partly because of the price and partly because of the brand. So as a candy taken in a vacuum without any other information, they're an 8 out of 10, with all the other baggage, they're barely more than a 6. (Continue reading if you like for more support for that, or just move along to the specs box at the bottom.)
On the whole, my confidence level in Bissinger's is rather low. I've tried contacting them multiple times over the years and got conflicting answers about the gelatin origin and kosher status previously, and in the past month I've only gotten a reply to a tweet, neither of my emails with simple questions have been answered.
One of my concerns is with accurate labeling. They sell a variety of foil wrapped hollow "chocolates" around the holidays, including Halloween. They have them on their website and at Whole Food stores, so I've seen them in person. I believe that these are not actually made by Bissinger's, but by Confiserie Riegelein of Germany. (Previous review of their Halloween Chocolate.) Bissinger's affirms on their website that they use fair trade cocoa. Riegelein will not be fair trade until 2012 and there is no fair trade markings on the package in stores (just mentioned on the website). The biggest issue is that they're calling this confection chocolate. By US FDA standards, it does not meet the definition because it contains whey, considered a filler ingredient. So it is labeled inaccurately. I'm really surprised that Whole Foods permits this sort of liberal misuse of the word chocolate and the addition of fillers in a product like chocolate. Also, if this is made by Riegelein, it's made in Germany and there's no indication of that on the packaging - again other violation of Whole Food's policies and standard labeling in the United States. Finally, back to the product at hand, the package says Gluten Free and then says it's packed in a facility that also handles wheat (and eggs, soy, milk, peanuts and tree nuts). So is it gluten free or not?

Bissinger's 100 Calorie Bar
Warning: today's review contains a lot of math.
Whole Foods has been carrying Bissinger's candies, they even have their own custom display in the bakery area of the Whole Foods I frequent. One of the items that caught my eye was this 100 Calorie Bar of Solid Milk Chocolate 38% Cocoa which sounded intriguing. It was only a dollar, so it's a very low risk investment, especially at Whole Foods.
I knew going in that 100 calories of chocolate is a very small portion. In this case it's only .63 ounces (18 grams). What I didn't expect was how misleading the box would be about the actual size of the contents. The bar inside is in a cellophane sleeve that's too big for it, so it's crumpled at the sides - which kind of anchors it inside the box. When I shook it, it felt like the bar was taking up the whole box because it didn't rattle around.
Here are some facts:
Dimensions of box: 4.25" long - 1.75" wide - .33" high = volume of 2.454375 cubic inches
Yes, 2/3 of that box is empty.
Aside from that, it's an attractive bar. It's segmented into four pieces, each marked with the 38, which I'm guessing is to represent the cacao content, not the fullness of the box.
The shiny and nicely molded milk chocolate has a soft bite with a powdered milk and sugar scent, maybe a little cheese twang to it. The melt is a little fudgy and sweet with a strong sour yogurt bite. The cocoa flavors are woodsy and rather limited. The sweetness burned my throat. The aftertaste is rather familiar, like Hershey's Milk Chocolate. So if you love Hershey's and wish you could pay twice as much for it but at least get all natural ingredients, this might be the stuff for you.
At about $25 a pound, I expect better chocolate.
The box also mentioned it has an ORAC value of 46 per gram (828 for the full bar). If you don't know about Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, you can read more on Wikipedia. For reference, the ORAC value of 100 calories of red beans is 13,727.
The box says that it's Gluten Free, but it also says that it's processed in a facility that uses milk, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat and eggs. (Soy and Milk are present in the milk chocolate, of course.) This package does not say it's Kosher. (You may recall my run-in with them last year about the Kosher status of their gummis.)

Bissinger's Pink Grapefruit Gummy Pandas
Last week I told you that pandas have berry flavored noses. This week I'm telling you that all natural pandas are pink grapefruit flavored.
Bissinger's Naturals line has an excellent array of exotic flavored & nutritionally enhanced gummy pandas. I was frustrated for many years because the only place I could get them was on their website and you had to order 4 packages of each flavor ... I'm more of a grazer than a consumer. So I would visit their booth at trade shows. I'd always arrive and they'd say "oh, we're not tasting the gummys today." Or if they were, I'd be directed to go visit a counter where the staff is dressed in white lab coats like they work for Clinique and I would be given one single gummy to try and no access to the packages & labels.
Finally at the Whole Foods by the coffee counter I found a whole display of Bissinger's Naturals Gummy Pandas. They come in two package sizes, the little 4 ounce stand up pack shown here and some flavors were available in 100 calorie packages for a smaller taste. They come in Goji Guava, Blueberry Acai, Green Tea, Pomegranate White Tea and Pink Grapefruit with Grapeseed.
I was a little aghast at the price - $3.99 for four ounces, but it's not like I don't splurge on candy from time to time. (Yes, $16 a pound for gummi bears.)
These gummies are quite soft and a little greasy (coconut oil & beeswax keeps them from sticking together). They're darker than I would have expected for a grapefruit flavored candy, but the coloring is all natural, from black carrot juice.
When I opened the package I found they smelled very nice - sweet and with a strong note of grapefruit oils and a little like the powder for Country Time Lemonade. It certainly made my mouth water.
They're quite gummy & bouncy bears. The chew is stiff but squishy (I think gummi fans know what I mean). The flavor is tart, a slight bitter note of the grapefruit and a not too sweet base. The texture is ultra smooth.
The ingredients are interesting. The product is all natural, gluten/wheat free as well as containing no artificial colors or sweeteners. The main sweetener is tapioca syrup (organic) instead of corn syrup ... so if you shun corn this might be the perfect gummi for you. Later on the list is grapeseed extract. That's supposed to add some antioxidants, but I don't much care one way or the other if my candy gives me that sort of stuff.
The flavor is well rounded and doesn't have any of that weird aftertaste that some all natural candies that are fortified can have. They're a cute shape and the ability to buy just one flavor instead of a mix is often a bonus.
The bottom of the label does say that they're produced in a facility that processes milk, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat and eggs. So I don't know what to say about that Gluten Free statement. Then there was a strange little K over at the edge of the back of the package. Last year Bissinger's announced that they were going Kosher ... could this be their Kosher symbol? I couldn't be sure and their website was no help. So I emailed them. A helpful woman named Jenney replied quite promptly to my question with this: The gummies are definitely certified kosher, and the gelatin is kosher and does come from pork. You are free to make of that what you will, I find those statements in conflict. Unless there's something new in pigs that I'm not aware of.
Besides the price and the incongruity of their claim of gluten free with their allergen statement and this newfangled pork-is-Kosher I like 'em a lot.
FOLLOW UP 10/10/2009: I continued my correspondence with Jenney at Bissinger's. She insisted again that the product was both Kosher and porcine. She presented me with a certificate from the ingredient company, Gelita, that shows its status. With that I contacted Gelita who refused to tell me what's in their Kosher gelatin, as they were bound by their confidentiality agreements with their clients.
I emailed again, telling Gelita that I was referred to them by Bissinger's for more information but have heard no reply after a week of waiting. So folks who avoid pig products can take this to mean what they wish. I do not feel confident calling this a pork-free product and am extremely uncomfortable with a company that says their products are Kosher yet insists they contain porcine gelatin with no twinkling of acknowledgment of that incongruity.

Marcel Frikart necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 213 diseños de 46 diseñadores freelance.
My name is Marcel Frikart, 32, I'm an electronic and software Engineer from Switzerland and I just founded my own company "FRIKART Engineering GmbH (Ltd)". Of course the company needs a nice logo that can be used for the website, letterheads, business cards, marketing materials, etc.
My company provides engineering services for companies that develop and manufacture electrical products and mechanical systems (all with some portions of software). I'm specialized in analyzing and designing system architecture for so called "realtime and embedded" systems. I'm not an IT or software consultant or IT service provider but I rather focus on customers in the medical technology and the engine building industry in Switzerland.
Brand name details:
- Company name: "FRIKART Engineering GmbH"
- Name in Logo: simply "FRIKART", "FRIKART Engineering" or maybe also "FRIKART.ch" (my domain name).
- The logo should contain a subtitle/slogan. Please create two logo options with the following subtitle/slogan: Option 1: "Realtime & Embedded System Architecture". Option 2: "Successful With System"
Thank you all for participating in this contest. Since this is my first project on 99designs I'm very excited to see your ideas and how it works out. Further projects for corporate identity, web site design, business cards and marketing material may follow for the winner of this competition.
Industrial business customers: Product / System Developers and Manufacturer in Switzerland
Industry: medical technology and engine building industry (machine construction)
Contacts: Mainly technical Management, R&D Heads, Engineers
Project output:
- Logo with two subtitle/slogan options
- Logo should be printable in color and grayscale
- File formats: .ai (CMYK), .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
- Logo scalable from very small to poster
Logo that fits my corporate identity and my values
- Individual and tailored engineering services for customers in the high-tech industry
- Swiss quality, professional, trustworthy, competent, serious
- Personal, innovative, young, dynamic, authentic
- My name is my brand: "FRIKART"
Color: preferably only single color, I like blue :-) (but blue isn't a must)
Font: clean, clear, modern
Design elements: logo could (no must) consist of a design element. I thought about a 3D cube, maybe you come up with something else. But nothing too fancy/freaky please :-). However, I'd also like to see draft proposals without design elements (means only brand name and subtitle/slogan)
Another idea: My domain name could be included (frikart.ch). This could somehow be mixed with Swissness/Swiss quality (Swiss cross or "CH" as country code)

According to trainer Freddie Roach, Andrei Arlovski will move into boxing following his match-up with Fedor Emelianenko at the Affliction: Day of Reckoning PPV. Roach already knows who he wants Arlovski to face.
"Andrei's going into boxing after this," said Roach. "After we knockout Fedor, I'd like for him to challenge for the heavyweight championship against (WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay) Valuev."
For Arlovski to transition right into a heavyweight title fight would seem very difficult. Roach does not think such a high caliber opponent would cause any problems for the former UFC heavyweight champion.
"His boxing skills are good enough. He's the best MMA fighter in the world. Two world champions? It would be huge."

I had to laugh when a forgotten song by Chris Rice cycled up on the iPod today titled "You Don't Have to Yell".
I tuned in to hear the news
I don`t want your point of view
if that`s the best that you can do,
then something`s missing
and experts on whatever side
you plug your ears, you scream your lines
you claim to have an open mind,
but nobody`s listenin`
don`t you think we`re smarter than this?
How should a follower of Christ engage in the political discourse? Dr. Gregory Boyd has said some controversial things but, in my humble opinion, this is not one of them.
"Christians are not to seek "power over" others – by controlling governments, passing legislation or fighting wars. Christians should seek to have "power under" others – winning others hearts by sacrificing for those in need."
That is indeed what Jesus did. That is EXACTLY how a group of men and women in the first century with NO political power turned the world upside down. They sacrificially served others.
Dr. Boyd also noted that "America is not the light of the world and the hope of the world. The light of the world and the hope of the world is Jesus Christ."
Hard to argue with that. I love America. I don't think there has ever been a more benevolent world power. Like a lot of people of faith I once thought that electing the "right" politicians would change the culture. I was wrong. The fact is that government and laws can only restrain. Paul had a lot of thoughts on that in his letter to the Romans. Jesus can change the heart and change behavior from the inside out. I am saddened when I see good, well-intentioned people thinking that more education and regulation will solve our problems. I am certainly not against education but I would point out that it has been the brightest and best that got us into such a mess on Wall Street. The problem is not lack of knowledge but a lack of understanding of the hearts of men and women. We all have a nature that needs to be changed. We deny that at our own peril and the peril of our culture.
I am not smart enough to decide what God has called people to do. If He has placed a desire for people to impact the culture through political action I am not about to question their motives. But I do believe that those of us who claim the name of Jesus need to communicate our views with grace and compassion.
I am active politically. I study issues and candidates and I always vote. I give to causes that I believe in and I would be willing to work for a candidate that shared my goals for our country.
But I get nervous about using the church as a political base. God's Word taught effectively will mold followers of Jesus that will view social issues wisely. My goal is to introduce people to Jesus, disciple them into a real relationship with Him and then watch as the Holy Spirit changes what my sermonizing cannot.
The body of Christ is about Jesus. About being a good citizen that respects authority. And about demonstrating His amazing grace to a desperately needy world. The message should be grace, redemption and the forgiveness available to everyone. All parties are welcome at the foot of the cross. We need to spend more time there…for the good of America.
That sets the stage for today's gentle plea. May I challenge my fellow followers of Jesus to show grace in the current debate? I confess that I get angry when I witness the personal attacks on people who are simply trying to be heard. I know that my friends who are Democrats (yep, I have a bunch of them) get angry when people of faith blindly forward untrue emails about President Obama. We must do better with the dialogue. My Republican friends get furious when their candidate's character is assailed.
I was guilty of that sin with President Clinton. I said ugly things about him. I did not pray for him. I did not trust God consistently to accomplish His plan and I thought that my politics had to prevail for God's plan to prevail. How arrogant on my part. Once again I was wrong. I was obsessed with politics and it was dangerously close to idolatry. I am sure I crossed that line at times. As we head into some spirited debate I am begging my fellow followers of Christ to be graceful in your debate. Things will be said that are maddening, unfair and mean. Responding in kind damages the name of Jesus. Solomon wrote these words that are so timely today.
A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing, but the mouth of a fool belches out foolishness. (Proverbs 15, NLT)
And later this wisdom is written.
Patient persistence pierces through indifference; gentle speech breaks down rigid defenses. (Proverbs 25:15, NLT)
Chris Rice lyrically paraphrases these wise words with the song's chorus.
Everybody take a breath
why are all your faces red
we`re missin` all the words you said
you don`t have to yell
You cannot change the minds and hearts of others by strident arguing and yelling. You cannot change the minds of some with a 2 by 4 up the side of the head…as tempting as that may be. You can change a few hearts and minds by demonstrating the grace and good news of the Gospel of Jesus. I love the United States deeply. But I do not believe that the hope of the world is democracy even though I believe there is no better system of government. The hope of the world is Jesus. That is my message. I want to be a good citizen but I must be a grace filled representative for Christ.

On the first day, they lost a tough game with National League Champion Dallas in a game that could have gone either way, then came roaring back with wins against formally undefeated Tampa Bay and Chicago. The weather was great and the sun was shining and there was some great soccer on the fields.
2010/11 "National League" National League competition started on December 2 near Raleigh NC. The Firecats girls finished the weekend with 2 wins and 2 losses. They opened the weekend with the former top ranked national team the SoCal Blues from Southern California. The Virginia girls played well, but couldn't contain the National League leading scorer who got 2 goals for a 0-2 score. On the second day, the girls faced Albion SC from San Diego and controlled much of the game, but couldn't put away a goal and dropped the contest 0-1. The Firecats acclimated to the level of competition and rallyed on the 3rd day for a 2-1 win over Cleveland and then wrapped up the weekend with a 4-0 win over Westchester NY.

- "The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than events." --Vince Lombardi
- "The vision of a champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion when nobody else is watching." -Anson Dorrance
- "The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime." - Babe Ruth
Accept defeat with dignity. Winning is the object of playing any game. Never set out to lose. If you do not play to win, you are cheating your opponents, deceiving those who are watching, and also fooling yourself. Never give up against stronger opponents but never relent against weaker ones. It is an insult to any opponent to play at less than full strength. Play to win, until the final whistle. But remember nobody wins all the time. You win some, you lose some. Learn to lose graciously. Do not seek excuses for defeat. Genuine reasons will always be self-evident. Congratulate the winners with good grace. Do not blame the referee or anyone else. Be determined to do better next time. Good losers earn more respect than bad winners.

Law Office of Shawn Vogt Sween
I am a Harvard-educated female lawyer starting up a solo law firm. The firm will focus on agricultural law, rural schools, and small town development and governance. I want to bring a new perspective to small-town practice after living for many years in larger cities. I want to convey that I am professional and on the cutting-edge, but I also still want to seem approachable and friendly. The idea I want to convey is: I'm not the same old "small town" lawyer you may have thought you knew. Small town lawyers can be world-class too.
The law firm will be located in a historic building with huge 12-foot storefront windows. The logo will be featured prominently in the transom of the window. It will be at least 3-feet tall in the window.
I will be marketing to rural Minnesota. The people will include town officials, school administrators, large-scale farmers, family farms, small town residents. The market is actually quite diverse, with the main unifying feature being that they all live in rural areas. It is important to remember that these people may not live in cities, but they are also not "hicks." Many of the people I'll be marketing to will be well-educated and highly travelled. They live in rural areas because they appreciate the quality of life, not because it's all they know.
The logo will be used on the giant storefront windows of the firm's building. It will be prominent on the website. It will also be used on business cards, stationery, envelopes, etc. I want people to see and recognize the look.
Color preferences: Please experiment with color. I do not have any color preferences per se. However, I do tend to like bold reds, orange, green (the color of things that grow), and jewel tones. I don't want it to look stuffy and old-fashioned. I want the colors to be bold enough that the letterhead could be copied or faxed and the logo will still show up prominently.
Style: professional, edgy, modern. I would like to see designs that highlight my initials "SVS" since my website is svslawoffice.com. Please don't limit it to letter designs though, because I'd like to see other styles too. I'm having a hard time envisioning what I want--hence hiring a designer--but I do know that I want it to look modern and professional. Please be creative and help me figure out how to get the look I'm trying to project.
Abstract images would be great, but I don't want to see clipart. For example, please do not include the scales of justice, a gavel, a tractor, a farm animal, etc.
File types: I'll need this for letterhead and website use. Please provide appropriate file types for both.

Sue Anne Tay
Sue Anne Tay is a Shanghai-based photographer and author of ShanghaiStreetStories.com, which documents the heritage architecture and community lifestyle of Shanghai's disappearing old neighborhoods.
Hidden behind one of Shanghai's key shopping arteries is a beautiful and century-old four-story villa. It is designed in the Queen Anne style with warm orange bricks, an imposing turret and flower motifs running alongside the arcs on the bay windows. A first-time visitor to the city might think he or she wandered accidentally into a private estate in the English countryside.
That is until you see a group of middle-aged to ancient residents sitting on the porch dressed in pajamas, the loungewear of choice for many Shanghainese, chattering loudly as they set up for another game of mahjong. In the hallway, a young mother fires up her wok on a portable stove.
Shanghai's historical architecture is a wonderful blend of Eastern and Western design and sensibilities. Such influences are attributable to the city's semi-colonial history as a bustling and open port. After the Opium War in 1842, the British, Americans, and French forced China to sign treaties ceding control of the city, turning it into settlements under foreign rule. Over time, Shanghai became a veritable melting pot of wealthy European merchants and Russian refugees, local Shanghainese, small-time traders and peasants from neighboring provinces.
Steadily, the city grew into an eclectic mix of villas and apartments designed in Art Deco, Bauhaus, and French Renaissance styles, interwoven with the ubiquitous classic Shanghai shikumen (or stone gate door) or the more rustic Jiangnan style of public housing.
With shifting political winds and tumultuous conflicts, it's not unusual for historical homes in Shanghai to have had many lives and hidden secrets. Like the arc of modern Chinese history, past residents of the statuesque villa tucked behind Nanjing West Road ranged from Mandarin royalty, British boarder to a Chinese flashlight factory worker.
First built in 1910, the villa was believed to have served as the residence of Wu Tingfang, a learned official of China's last dynasty who studied law in England and acted as an Envoy for the Qing Government in the United States, Spain and Peru. Wu was also an advisor to Sun Yat-sen, the father of modern China, serving as foreign minister to the Republic of China and even as acting president in Sun's absence. Wu passed away in 1922 in Guangdong.
What most locals don't know is that since the villa was located in the International Settlement, administered by the British and later Americans, it once served as a dormitory called the Henley Home. Run by a certain Mrs. Beresford, only foreigners boarded at the villa, with Chinese servants living in the back.
The last owner of the villa, before it was finally expropriated by the government, was Boss Ding Xiongzhao of the Shanghai Huiming Flashlight Company.
Ding was known as the "King of Batteries" and amassed significant wealth and businesses in America and Europe. He left after the Communists came to power in 1949. Records show him settling and later passing away in Hong Kong in 1976.
The villa continued to serve as a dormitory for workers of the former Shanghai Huiming, whose descendants still live in the house to this day and speak proudly of its heritage. Under communism, rooms were further partitioned and more families were added to the already crowded villa.
Presently, over 50 families live in the house and the stress of communal living is visible in the cramped quarters, backward sewage and toilet systems, and facades in need of repair and a fresh coat of paint. This is still a common sight in Shanghai's many old neighborhoods, so much so that the villa was deemed perfectly authentic to serve as a location set for a 2009 television series called Dwelling Narrowness (or "humble abode," for a less awkward translation).
The series revolved around two sisters who struggled with life in a fictional city that strongly resembled present-day Shanghai. The plot focused on the sacrifices the sisters undertook to afford a home in the city - the younger sister becoming a mistress to a married politician while the other lived in a small room in the very villa with her husband as they scrimped to save money for a future together.
Like many young city dwellers, history meant little and they were eager to trade the old for the new.
The television show highlighted the conflicts arising from the widening gap between rich and poor, political corruption and an erosion of traditional Chinese family values. Against the background of a real estate bubble in China and rising inflation, Dwelling Narrowness struck a chord with many viewers, especially in Shanghai, who saw themselves ball-chained for decades to burdensome mortgages like "house slaves."

The August-September 2012 issue of Canada's History magazine has an article by Paul Jones entitled "Genealogy Can Be Child's Play" with some good ideas for interesting children in their own genealogy and family history. You can read this at the BCGS Walter Draycott Library or on-line as Canada's History has posted the entire article complete with links here.
It's a shame that the excellent youth resources at the Victoria Genealogical Society (BC) website aren't mentioned though. For that link, and links to other resources on-line for children and teens, see the BCGS own page of suggestions for interesting and encouraging the younger genealogists and family historians. If you know of other resources, please let our webmistresses know. We'll soon be listing some books there too, including the Victoria Genealogical Society's Who's In Your Family Tree: A Step-By-Step Guide For The Detective In Your Family and Jennifer Holik-Urban's Generations Branching Out book series.

Joseph P. Kennedy III, great-nephew of the late President John F Kennedy, is making a run for Congress. With a last name like Kennedy, many believe the congressional bid should be a breeze, but Joe's life thus far has proved that he is willing to work hard, Kennedy or not, for the bid.
He is also unusual, in that he does not drink and even when a freshman at Stanford, he refused to drink as part of a hazing ritual and drank milk instead. His nickname has been 'the milkman" ever since
In a profile on Joe Kennedy, Sally Jacobs for Boston.com writes of his past and where it could lead him in the future. While, yes, he has a politically famous and adored last name, Joe Kennedy is looking to get to Congress on his own terms.
Of his famous family, Kennedy remains vague, yet loving - "It's a huge family. It's crazy, it's wonderful, it's vibrant and it's exciting." Kennedy is, however, aware firsthand of the strains that a political life can have on a family. His parents divorced due to his father being away for so often in Washington DC. His mother often showed signs of resentment of getting caught up with the Kennedy fame.
Kennedy himself, however, announced his own engagement within the past few months, to former classmate and Southern California native, Lauren Birchfield.

While Kennedy insists that going into politics didn't appeal to him until later in life, others saw it coming a mile away. "We always joked that Joe was going to run for president,'' recalled Matt Twomey, who played on the Stanford lacrosse team alongside Kennedy during their college days. "With that last name of his and the fact that he didn't drink, it just seemed obvious.''
Kennedy has never been a drinker. "Some see it as a sign of his determination to steer clear of the demons of drugs and alcohol that other family members have wrestled with - in some cases fatally. Others consider it a reflection of a singular self-confidence," writes Sally Jacobs for Boston.com.
"It's just a personal preference," Kennedy said in an interview. "It's really just something I have never felt an attraction to."
The first of a dozen or so Kennedy cousins to get into politics, Kennedy has a lot riding on his shoulders. "If he is successful, he could renew the luster of a somewhat tarnished family name. If he is not, he will fuel critics' contentions that the family has exhausted its political potency," writes Jacobs.
As Kennedy puts it, "I'm extremely proud of my family's record of public service to Massachusetts and the nation. But it's my name on the ballot. I will stand on my own, and I only ask the voters of the 4th district to listen to what I have to say and to make a choice.''
Following his graduation from Stanford, Joe Kennedy joined the Peace Corps, a uniquely American program founded by his great-uncle President John F Kennedy. Joe Kennedy, a fluent Spanish speaker, served for two years in the Dominican Republic.
"You're asking them to make a huge investment in their future, back-breaking work,'' says Kennedy, who led local groups in the Dominican Republic to become more tourist-friendly in hopes of becoming a more attractive destination. "And, I'm saying, yeah but trust me, you'll get something in the future.'' Perhaps that moment can serve as an inkling as to what kind of leader he could potentially become in Congress and beyond.
After graduating from Harvard Law School in 2009, Kennedy signed on as an assistant prosecutor in the Cape & Islands district attorney's office. "Each of these cases as a problem to solve, and not a person to prosecute," said Kennedy on his attitudes towards working there. "Your job is not to just hide behind recommending a maximum sentence on every case and say, hey, I'm tough on crime. It's to solve that problem. You've got a brain in there. Use it.''
Only time will tell now how the public will react to another Kennedy in the political arena.
"Look, some people may have a romance with the Kennedys and will be hopeful for Joe,'' said Paul G. Kirk, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who filled Ted Kennedy's Senate seat after his death. "Some will be dismissive and say the page of history has turned. But most people are realistic and they want to take the measure of this kid.''

(This excerpt covers the walk from Regent's Park underground station to St. Marylebone Parish Church; next excerpts will cover London Mosque to Queen Mary's Gardens to complete the walk. Click here for Walk 5 key facts, highlights, and summary of area.)
Walk 5 — PARKS & RECREATION
Step out of Regent's Park underground station and follow signs to Marylebone Road and Harley Street. Once at street level, take time to admire John Nash's elegant semicircular terraced houses.
These dramatically curving flats with stucco facades were designed by famous architect John Nash and completed in 1821. There are situated on the north end of Great Portland Street, just across busy Marylebone Road from Park Square and its gardens. Supposedly there is a "Nursemaid's Tunnel" linking Park Crescent with Park Square Gardens. Park Crescent is now home of the International Students House.
Did You Know? A crescent is an architectural structure where a number of houses are laid out in an arc or semicircular shape. One of the most beautiful examples is Royal Crescent in Bath, England.
Continue walking west along Marylebone Road. You'll soon come to Harley Street, renowned for its association with eminent medical specialists since the 19th century.
Prayer Points — Harley Street

Blue Jays' struggles continue as Wang falters
HOUSTON -- Chien-Ming Wang received a second chance with the Blue Jays on Saturday night, but his second tenure in Toronto likely came to an end in the exact same way the first one did.
Wang was called upon to make a spot start against Houston with the Blue Jays in need of a sixth starter following a doubleheader earlier this week in New York. The plan was to use Wang for just one start, but there was always an outside chance he could earn a permanent spot on the team with a solid outing.View Full Game Coverage
HOUSTON -- Chien-Ming Wang received a second chance with the Blue Jays on Saturday night, but his second tenure in Toronto likely came to an end in the exact same way the first one did.
Wang was called upon to make a spot start against Houston with the Blue Jays in need of a sixth starter following a doubleheader earlier this week in New York. The plan was to use Wang for just one start, but there was always an outside chance he could earn a permanent spot on the team with a solid outing.View Full Game Coverage
That didn't even come remotely close to happening vs. the lowly Astros as Wang surrendered five runs -- four earned -- over just three innings as the Blue Jays losing streak was extended to seven games with an 8-5 loss.
"It was a tough go for him," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "He threw some good sinkers, but a lot of them were flat and that's what they caught up with. We fell behind early and it turned out to be too much to overcome. We've been having trouble scoring runs, so tonight was kind of a breakout to be honest with you, but too far behind to catch up."
Toronto didn't announce any roster moves after the game, but it's expected that Wang will be designated for assignment in the very near future. That will open up another spot on the 40-man roster while also creating room on the 25-man roster for left-hander Aaron Loup, who is currently on paternity leave.
Wang received the nod on Saturday night over prospect Sean Nolin. While Nolin pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings for Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday night, Wang struggled like earlier in the year when he posted a 7.13 ERA in five big league starts. Wang did record a three-up, three-down inning in the first on Saturday, but everything fell apart after that.
Wang began the second by surrendering a double to catcher Jason Castro. Brett Wallace later followed with a single while Brandon Barnes then opened the scoring with a two-run double to right-center field. Another run came around to score on an error by Jose Reyes as the Blue Jays fell behind, 3-0, early.
The struggles continued in the third as Wang walked leadoff hitter L.J. Hoes on four consecutive pitches and then eventually surrendered a two-run homer to Castro. Wang finished the inning, but didn't come back out for the fourth and allowed a total of four hits and one walk over his brief time on the mound.
Right-hander Chad Jenkins then entered the game on the same day he was promoted from Double-A New Hampshire. Jenkins pitched better than his line would indicate, but was the victim of some shoddy defense as he allowed three runs -- only one of which was earned.
"That's pretty much all you can ask for as a pitcher, I'm assuming," Castro said of taking the early big lead. "It makes my job easier as well working with those guys. They have a little bit more room for error and can really just kind of ease into things out there and not try to do too much. Those guys have worked hard, and for us to put some support on the board for them is big for us."
Toronto did start to battle back in the fifth inning when Kevin Pillar hit a home run off the cement facing in left field. The play was originally ruled a double, but was overturned following a review as Pillar was rewarded with his first career home run. The three-run shot hit the facing in left field just above the yellow line.
Edwin Encarnacion then further cut into Houston's lead with a solo home run to lead off the sixth inning. All four runs were charged to right-hander Brad Peacock, who allowed six hits and two walks while striking out five.
The uphill battle, though, was too much for the Blue Jays to overcome. They scored more than four runs for the first time since Aug. 17, but with the early deficit, it was of little consolation after the game.
The Astros entered the series vs. Toronto with the second-worst offense in the American League, but have been firing on all cylinders against the Blue Jays' pitching staff. Houston has scored 20 runs in the first two games of the series and will be looking for the sweep on Sunday afternoon.
A pair of rough starts by Wang and right-hander Todd Redmond is the main reason why and the end result is the Astros having won back-to-back home games for the first time since mid-June.
"We're not sure what's going to happen from here on out," Gibbons said of Wang. "We'll have a better idea in the next couple of days."
The Blue Jays have now lost seven consecutive games, which ties a season high from July 14-24. Toronto also finds itself a season-high 16 games below .500 and is 12-24 (.333) since winning a season-high 11 games from June 11-23, which is the second lowest winning percentage in the AL over that span.

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
North Carolina became a royal colony in 1729 when King George II purchased the land from the proprietors. The next 40 years brought the first period of marked progress evidenced by a stable government, steady population growth, and improvements in transportation and agriculture. Settlements expanded, and many new counties and towns were established. In 1774, North Carolina residents met in the town of New Bern, which was serving as the capital, to elect delegates to the first Continental Congress. This act defied the wishes of the Royal Governor, who was appointed by the King of England. Royal rule ended the following year when the Governor fled New Bern. On November 12, 1776, the first state constitution was drafted at Halifax by the Fifth Provincial Congress.
During and after the American Revolution, the legislature (the official body of lawmakers) met at several different locations in North Carolina. As was true in other states, the question of where to locate a permanent capital, the place where a government meets to enact laws, sparked heated debate. Finally, the town of Raleigh was mapped and laid out specifically to serve as the capital in 1792.

This post is part of a blog series which focuses on translating compatibility views in SQL Server to their respective dynamic management objects. You can find a list of all of the deprecated views in the introduction post.
The compatibility view sysprotects returns rows for permissions within a database. The view provides information on GRANT and DENY permissions that have been applied to objects in the database.
To replace sysprotects, there are two catalog views available in SQL Server. These are sys.database_permissions and sys.server_permissions; which are also the catalog view that replace syspermissions.. The output from the catalog views is similar in content to that of sysprotects, there is just a bit less work in returning the information.
Query Via sysprotects
Queries for sysprotects require a bit of translation before their results can be useful. The columns action and protecttype both are returned as integer values, but need to be converted to text values to be useful. The values can be found on Books Online, and are also included in the query provided in Listing 1. The only column of concern in sysprotects is columns. The columns column provides information on the columns that are affected by the permission. Generally, the value indicates either that all or some columns are affected. With that definition, the value returned isn't the most useful. Because of this, effort was not spent to parse or recreate the value.
--Listing 1 – Query for sys.sysprotects SELECT id ,uid ,grantor ,CASE action WHEN '26' THEN 'REFERENCES' WHEN '178' THEN 'CREATE FUNCTION' WHEN '193' THEN 'SELECT' WHEN '195' THEN 'INSERT' WHEN '196' THEN 'DELETE' WHEN '197' THEN 'UPDATE' WHEN '198' THEN 'CREATE TABLE' WHEN '203' THEN 'CREATE DATABASE' WHEN '207' THEN 'CREATE VIEW' WHEN '222' THEN 'CREATE PROCEDURE' WHEN '224' THEN 'EXECUTE' WHEN '228' THEN 'BACKUP DATABASE' WHEN '233' THEN 'CREATE DEFAULT' WHEN '235' THEN 'BACKUP LOG' WHEN '236' THEN 'CREATE RULE' END AS protecttype ,CASE protecttype WHEN 204 THEN 'GRANT_W_GRANT' WHEN 205 THEN 'GRANT' WHEN 206 THEN 'DENY' END AS protecttype ,columns FROM sysprotects
Query via sys.database_permissions
Querying permissions from sys.database_permissions is much more direct than with the compatibility view. The two columns in sysprotects that need to be translated in the compatibility view are provided directly in the catalog view, as the columns permission_name and state_desc. As with many other comparisons of compatibility views to catalog views, the column names between the two are different. The only difference between the two views is the columns column which is returning as NULL in the query in Listing 2, the reason for the NULL value was explained in the last section.
--Listing 2 – Query for sys.database_permissions SELECT major_id AS id ,grantee_principal_id AS uid ,grantor_principal_id AS grantor ,permission_name AS protecttype ,state_desc AS protecttype ,NULL AS COLUMNS ,type ,state ,class ,class_desc ,minor_id FROM sys.database_permissions
Query via sys.server_permissions
For sys.server_permissions, the query is similar to sys.database_permissions, shown in Listing 3. The main difference between the database and server version of the view is the scope of the catalog views. When comparing sys.server_permissions to the compatibility view the biggest difference between the them are the scope of data. Sysprotects is limited to database level permissions and sys.server_permissions are scoped to the server.
--Listing 3 – Query for sys.server_permissions SELECT major_id AS id ,grantee_principal_id AS uid ,grantor_principal_id AS grantor ,permission_name AS protecttype ,state_desc AS protecttype ,NULL AS COLUMNS ,type ,state ,class ,class_desc ,minor_id FROM sys.server_permissions
In this post, we compared the compatibility view sysprotects with the catalog view sys.database_permissions. Modifying applications or processes to use the supported catalog view over the compatibility view is a simple feat; which you will hopefully be open to partaking in. After reading all of this, do you see any reason to continue using sysprotects? Is there anything missing from this post that people continuing to use the compatibility view should know?

Jenna Kasmarik scored six goals Thursday evening to lead the Winthrop lacrosse team to a 14-12 victory over the Michigan Wolverines in the first-ever women's lacrosse game played in Michigan Stadium.
With the victory, the Eagles improved to 3-5 overall while Michigan fell to 0-7.
Freshman Paige Jenkins got the scoring going for the Eagles less than two minutes into the contest with her first career goal.
Michigan tied it up less than a minute later, but Winthrop was able to take five of the next six with two coming from Jenna Kasmarik, two from Abigail Blevins and one from Shannon Gallagher to give the Eagles a 6-2 lead. The Wolverines netted their third of the half with just over four minutes on the clock and the Eagles closed out with a goal from Gallagher to take a 7-3 lead into the break.

Winthrop started strong to begin the second half with goals from Kasmarik and sophomore Logan McCarthy to put the Eagles up 9-3 less than five minutes into the half. Michigan didn't go quietly as the Wolverines scored four of the next five to pull within three at 10-7 with 15:16 remaining in the game.
The Eagles responded well from the offensive push by Michigan with back-to-back goals from McCarthy and Kasmarik to push the Winthrop lead back to five. The Wolverines continued to get within three but it wasn't until less than two minutes remaining that they got within two at 14-12, but couldn't climb any closer.
Kasmarik's six goals came on seven shots as she also picked up four ground balls and three draw controls. McCarthy finished with three goals while Gallagher and Abigail Blevins each netted two. Hayley Krause led the team with five draw controls and also recorded an assist.
The Eagles will continue their road trip on Sunday in Milwaukee, Wis., when Winthrop takes on Marquette at 1 p.m. ET.

The Committee of 300 evolved out of the British East India Company's Council of 300 which was founded in 1727 by the British royal family. For decades the British East
"There is no need to use 'they' or 'the enemy' except as shorthand. We know who 'they,' the enemy, is. The Committee of 300 with its Eastern Liberal Establishment 'aristocracy,' its banks, insurance companies, giant corporations, foundations, communications networks, presided over by a hierarchy of conspirators – this is the enemy." -John Coleman, "Conspirators Hierarchy"
Dr. John Coleman was an MI6 British Intelligence agent who has published 12 books exposing the New World Order, focusing specifically on the Committee of 300. He currently publishes the World in Review magazine. In his book, "Conspirators' Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300," Dr. Coleman explains the methods and mechanisms used by the elite to control and socially engineer populations.
"The Committee of 300 is the ultimate secret society made up of an untouchable ruling class, which includes the Queen of
Some notable members of the Committee of 300 include: The British royal family, Dutch royal family, House of Hapsburg, House of Orange, Duke of Alba, Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, Lord Carrington, Lord Halifax, Lord Alfred Milner, John Jacob and Waldorf of the Astor Illuminati bloodline, Winston Churchill, Cecil Rhodes, Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Juliana, Queen Beatrix, Queen Magreta, King Haakon of Norway, Colonel Mandel House, Aldous Huxley, John Forbes, Averill Harriman, William and McGeorge Bundy, George Bush, Prescott Bush, Henry Kissinger, J.P. Morgan, Maurice Strong, David Rockefeller, David and Evelyn Rothschild, Paul, Max and Felix Warburg, Ormsby and Al Gore, Bertrand Russell, Sir Earnest and Harry of the Oppenheimer Illuminati bloodline, Warren Buffet, Giuseppe Mazzini, Sir William Hesse, George Schultz, H.G. Wells, and Ted Turner
"In the Committee of 300, which has a 150-year history, we have some of the most brilliant intellects assembled to form a completely totalitarian, absolutely controlled 'new' society only it isn't new, having drawn most of its ideas from the Clubs of Cultus Diabolicus. It strives toward a One World Government rather well described by one of its late members, H. G. Wells, in his work commissioned by the Committee which Wells boldly called: 'The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution.'" -John Coleman, "Conspirators' Hierarchy"
Authors such as H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley were not speculating or warning of the future societies they wrote about. In fact they were often commissioned to write such "predictive programming" books based on the Committee's actual plans. People read something like "A Brave New World" and create an imaginary science-fiction rift between their present reality and what seems like a possible future. Meanwhile, the royals, the Committee of 300, the elite pushers and movers incrementally implement measures toward those very controlled sci-fi societies. Aurelio Peccei, Club of Rome founder and Committee of 300 member, in his book "The Chasm Ahead" writes about the Committee of 300's plans to "tame" the common man whom he refers to as "The Enemy."
"Why should I concern myself with how many die? Even the Christian Bible says what is man that God should be mindful of him? For me men are nothing but a brain at one end and a shit factory at the other." -Aurellio Peccei
"In the case of John F. Kennedy, the assassination was carried out with great attendant publicity and with the utmost brutality to serve as a warning to world leaders not to get out of line. Pope John Paul I was quietly murdered because he was getting close to the Committee of 300 through Freemasons in the
