Conditional Printing Using Crystal Reports
Crystal Reports XI - Developers Edition
I have a report that uses 2 MS Access Tables. They are:
dbPartNumber text 30
dbPartDescription text 50
dbIsThisNonInv text 1
dbPartNumber text 30
dbPartNotes text 250
In the Detail section I have a Record formula that states: {PartStatus.dbIsThisNonInv}="N" (This is working)
I am trying to print a list of all Parts(dbPartNumber) and there Descriptions(dbPartDescription) and dbPartNotes if there are any.
What's happening is ONLY those Parts that have dbPartNotes are printing.
In my test data, there are approximately 500 parts that are in the PartStatus Table where dbIsThisNonInv="N". In the InventoryNotes table, I have 3 Parts that have dbPartNotes. My output report should be a list of 500 Parts where 3 of them have notes. WHAT I AM GETTING is only the 3 Parts that have Notes.
In Crystal Reports, Under the "Database Expert" menu item, I have linked the PartStatus table and the InventoryNotes table via dbPartNumber..
Can you help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you,

Printing Reports From VB 6 Using Crystal Reports
I have delveloped an application for invoice generation and printing.
I have 2 tables(MS ACCESS), first will store invoice details and the second will store item details of invoice like serial no, description, qty, rate and value.
for a given invoice there will be 4-5 items.
In the crystal report(ver 7), I have linked first table containing invoice details with the second table containing invoice item details.
The item details are printed in the detail structure part of crystal report.
The problem is when I print the report, the report generates individual invoice for each item rather than one invoice for all the items.
I wish someone could rectify this error and enable me to implement the software
Printing Crystal Reports From VB 6.0
I am currently working on program in visual basisc 6.0. and I want to print some already created crystal reports from within vb. However, I don't want that when I select the print command button the report opens up to be displayed. I would like for it just to be printed. I have tried the object.printReport code but it does not work at all. I am using the following code:
CrystalReport1.ReportSource = crptReport
CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = "C:Program FilesVacationLeave.rpt"
CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToPrinter
CrystalReport1.Action = 1
When this code is executed I get an error stating "Unable to load Report."
Does anyone have an idea how I can do this? I response will be greatly appreciated.
Crystal Reports Printing
I am writing a vb interface to allow the users to select a report from a file list box and then print it.
The problem I seem to have at the moment is the fact that the reports do not print out, either through some vb code or the crystal reports viewer print button. I get the printer dialog box up and click "OK" but then nothing happens.
Dim application As New CRAXDRT.application
Dim Report As CRAXDRT.Report
Dim selectedreport As String
selectedreport = File1.Path & "" & File1
Set Report = application.OpenReport(selectedreport)
frmrptviewer.CRViewer91.ReportSource = Report
Report.PrintOut True, 1, False, 1, 1
Does anyone have ideas?????

VB, Crystal Reports And Printing
I am developing a VB application that will call Crystal Reports.
Is there a way to determine if a user that is previewing a report in Crystal has chosen to print that report from the preview screen ?
I could set up 2 separate buttons from VB, one that runs a preview report and one that just prints the report, but would like to see if there is some type of return code that can be checked.
The report will be sent to a network printer.
Thanks for any feedback.

Crystal Reports Not Printing
I have an application that uses the Crystal Reports included with Visual Studio 6.0 to create and print the reports.
My problem is that on about 1 out of 5 boxes, that the app gets installed onto, the printouts won't print. I don't know why this is occuring. I think that there is something missing on the boxes that don't print, but I don't know what it is. Is there a reference, a dll or another file that I need to include?

VB6 Printing To PDF Or Using Crystal Reports 7/9
I've previously posted here about a problem that I had with printing 15461 HTML statements. I've now been informed by the printing company that I need to export to PDF which they say is more reliable, or use Crytal reports 7 or 9.
Lastly, is it possible while using Crystal, to export to PDF
To be honest, I've never exported to PDF or used Crystal.
Can anyone can tell me how to integrate either of or a combination of these two?

Crystal Reports / Printing
Hi guys.
Im in a bit of a fiddle - any help on the following would be appreciated.
Ive set up a small order application for a Computing project in college. At the moment I have everything working fine apart from the print function. My initial idea was to print the form "as is". Instead I was instructed to use Crystal Reports.
- shortcut -
Ive set up my order table so I can view invoices depending on orders but at the moment when I go to the form created by Crystal within my VB6 project, I can only view/print all records.
Ideally what I want to do is have a button on my order screen with 'Print Invoice for this record' button on there. However, i have no idea how to do this as Ive been using Crystal for literally 6 hours.
I would appreciate anything you can give me - even if its to tell me how dumb I am for not realising how easy it was.
Thanks for your time

VB6 / Printing With Crystal Reports
Hi there,
I am using Crystal Reports 8.5.
Accessing MS Access Database.
I have written a small program to display the data from access through crystal to the user.
The program works like a charm on the my development machine. ( Have VB6 and Crystal Fully installed )
When I package and deploy the program the following happens : ( No VB6 and Crystal Fully installed )
Have vb run time files.
Have crystal DLL'S needed to run the stuff I think all of them. Registered them too.
Got the stuff from their notes...... if only,OCX is used they say use the following dll's:
Vb program runs no problem but when report selected to be displayed the crystal reports window opens up and immediately closed down (not displaying the report ). It does not crash the VB program.
In my VB code I have added a Crystl32.OCX only.
The code that is in my program to display the report "on development machine" is as follows ( and it works ):
Connection to the Access Database Code :
Public cn as ADODB.CONNECTION
Set cn = new ADODB.CONNECTION
With cn
.connectionstring = " Provider = Microsoft.Jet.4.0;Data Source=c:Database.mdb"
end with
To display the report
Private sub cmdCommand1_Click
%ReportName% .DataFiles(0) = "c:Database.mdb"
%ReportName%.ReportFileName = app.path & " %Name of the Crystal Report.rtp%"
end sub
When i looked at the event log generated by crystal --- it said something like "%Name of the Crystal Report.rtp%" database could not be found (something along those lines).
I have already established the connection, and I know that works ..... so how come crystal does not see it???
Am I missing something ???
Is my SET LOCATION in crystal right ...... it looks something like this "TableName!c:Database.mdb" ????
Am i missing any DLL'S ???
When I refresh the data in the crystal report design mode it gets all the relevant records from the database.
Help will be greatly appreciated .....
Thank You.
Printing In Crystal Reports 4.6
I am using crystal reports 4.6 to print info from my database which is in Access 97. There are some fields that are not required to be filled in thus could be left blank. My problem is that if the field is blank I do not want to print it. Each of these fields are 50 characters long so I can only print 1 field per line & I do not want/need a bunch of blank lines on the page. I tried creating a formula in crystal reports checking the length of the field but I am missing something. All the examples show either numeric formulas or IF-THEN-ELSE type comparisons. I created a formula named chkblank using the following: length(trimright({MAINTF.MAINTDES1}))>0
Then I inserted the formula CHKBLANK onto my report. When I do that it puts TRUE or FALSE on my report not the actual data in the field. Anybody no what I am missing here?

Printing Crystal Reports From VB
Silly question for someone:
In my VB6 Prof. program, I am automating the printing of a Crystal Report. None of the users will have a licensed copy, so I need to have it print without actually opening Crystal. Do I have to use the compiled (EXE) report or when I get it to print through my coding, it won't need to open the report? Am I making sense?
So far, when I've tested this on one of the users PCs it gave me a 'crystl32.ocx isn't properly registered or is missing' message. I copied that file to the required directory, but to no avail. Could this be cause by a newer version of Crystal being used (users have been using version5; I have version 7)?
If you can help in any way, I appreciate it. Thanks everyone and have a great day!
Crystal Reports Printing From VB
Hi -
Does anyone know how to have VB code continue on after a Crystal Report was printed using the CrystalReport.1 Action = 1 ? Seems my program will wait for the printer to go thru it's communications and when I print 5 or 6 reports in a row, this makes the user wait until the VB program can continue. THanks in advanced.
Also, is there a way to close up "White space" in a crystal report if certain strings, are empty?
Ex- I have to print the contents of certain chemical blends and have Contents1, Contents2, ...(as database fields)If the latter ones are empty, I would like to close up that space. Is this possible? ALSO THanks for suggestions

The VB Bugs in my Life...
Printing Crystal Reports
I have generated various cross tab reportswith charts. Now, I need to print report and chart on separate pages. How can I do that?
One way to do this is delete the chart and print- you get the report alone. suppress the text fields and grid- you can print the chart alone.
This way, the chart does'nt look good. I want the chart to get in full page.
Any ideas gladly welcome

Crystal Reports - String Value Not Printing
yes I know, wrong forum but I'm getting no feed back from the Reports forum.
I'm reading data into a crystal report from an MS Access query via ODBC connection. The query has a MEMO field that is trimmed to appear as a text field. When trying to read this field into Crystal the field is blank and the length of the string is zero. The query displays the field fine, so why won't it import into Crystal OK? Once I remove the Trim() function it displays OK. There was no problem using this same query in v8.5 Prof.

Problem Printing Crystal Reports
I am attempting to print a Crystal Report 8 report for the first time
I have created the Crystal Report using an Access 97 parameter query. I have setup the database as an ODBC data source and am using a Crystal Report Control in my program (ocx).
The code I am using to print is:
CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = App.Path & "ReportName.rpt"
An Enter Parameter window appears so I know the Data source is set up correctly and when I press Ok I get a preview window which appears and disappears very fast (although the control is set to preview in window) ....... and then nothing. It doesn't print OR bring up any error message!
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong or is there another way of attaining hte same result? Using the CRViewer component instead?
Can anyone Help me. Much appreciated!

Crystal Reports Printing Query
I just posted a query on VBCity forums sometime back regarding simlar kinda question but it worked partly so ask all u VB gurus out there to lend me a hand. Its like- i have crystal report which gets its data depending upon a particular SQL query which i pass onto it at runtime. this seems to work fine. now at runtime what my report diplays i want to print out three copies of it. well that'd be real simple but the problem lies in the fact that i want 'Original' printed on top of the first one, 'Duplucate' on top of the second one and 'Triplicate' on the third one. so heres what i did. I placed a text field on top of the report and changed its text in a loop. During runtime the first report turns out okay and prints okay as well but when the loop increments to 2 VB gives an error and exits. so the rest of the arent printed. Have look at my code:
rptA5.Database.SetDataSource adoRecordset 'The recordset is populated by a SQL Query
Dim X
For X = 1 To 3 'For 3 Copies
Select Case X
Case 1:
rptA5.Text8.SetText "Original"
Case 2:
rptA5.Text9.SetText "Duplicate"
Case 3:
rptA5.Text8.SetText "Triplicate"
End Select
CRViewer1.ReportSource = rptA5 'You know what these two lines mean
rptA5.PrintOut False 'Directly print to printer without any dialog boxes
It would be a great help it someone could make a quick example and post it herte

Hi there,
Some reports embedded in a VB 6.0 SP5 on Win2K project are printed on both sides of paper and some not. I really can't find how to enable/disable this feature.
There should be a checkbox to specify duplex printing but where ?
The report is called roughly like this :
Dim f As New frmCrystalReport
DFCatalogue.Database.Tables.Item(1).Location = prmDataBase
DFCatalogue.RecordSelectionFormula = Trim(SelectFormula)
f.Caption = "Catalogue"
f.CRViewer1.ReportSource = DFCatalogue
f.Show 1
Exit Sub

Help, Text Printing In Crystal Reports
We have a application in vb 5.0 and crystal 7.0. in our country a lot of people are still using dot matrix printers. It is very time consuming to print the report generated from crystal report. Usually this report is in graphics format and takes ages to print. In our application typically reports are of more than 200 pages. A viable solution is to convert the graphical output of crystal report to text format and print it to the dot matrix printer. This will increase the speed of printing. Using the normal export method of crystal report prints text in unformatted (unaligned ) format, which is not readable. Please suggest a way to send a properly aligned output to printer in text/DOS format.

You realise that for £2 you could just buy a builders bar?
Like I said (you conveniently cut out what the * is for in your quote), I haven't been paying £2 per serving because that's an estimate based on the 1kg size. I've been buying the 5lb size, which works out to a bit over £1 per serving, but I didn't put that in the review because as far as I can tell it's no longer available in the UK at that size/per serving price.
I'm gonna search around for the bigger container. If I can't find it, then I'm not sure what I'll do. But I really can't stomach most powders (and my partner refuses to use many of them) even when they are mixed in our smoothies with all sorts of fruit, so it's worth paying a bit more for something we will actually use. Also, we each have no more than 5 servings per week, so a 5lb tub lasts the two of us close to 2 months. We don't use as much as many of you all do, so it's not as big an expense for us. The 5lb tub works out to around £30 per month for two people, or £15 each per month.

Jamie Bradfield would have been perfectly happy to donate one of his kidneys and have no one except his family and the recipient family be aware.
As small towns are wont to go, however, it didn't work out that way.
When Bradfield knew he'd be having surgery to donate his kidney to 10-year-old Thomas Jones, it wasn't just his modesty that spurred his desire to keep things confidential. He knew Thomas and his family had been through heartache and disappointment many times over already while waiting to find a match. The last thing he wanted to do was be another reason for letdown.
"We don't need to lose sight of the fact this is about Thomas," he said many times, before and after the Jan. 3 surgery.
"I am not the focus," he said. "If you're willing, it shouldn't matter if people know or not."
The community has rallied around Thomas, but they also have come to the aid of Bradfield and his family during his recovery. When Bradfield returned to LaGrange on Jan. 5, a crowd of supporters stood outside Hollis Hand Elementary School, welcoming him home with signs calling him a hero. One sign even had a Superman logo.
And no one who knows him has had a bad thing to say about him.
"He was born to do this," said Andrea Lovejoy, retired LaGrange Daily News editor, who has known Bradfield's family for years, including his parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur D. Bradfield, better known as Click and Boonie, were longtime community volunteers themselves. Click Bradfield, Jamie's mother, helped to organize the group that now is known as Twin Cedars Youth Services, after a local couple was arrested and there was nowhere to take the children. The children wound up in jail too.
"I don't see how my parents couldn't have influenced me," Jamie Bradfield said. His mother was more vocal but his father also did countless things behind the scenes for LaGrange, he said.
"My mother was as giving a person as you can imagine. She always had a heart for other people," he said.
Coincidentally, it was LaGrange College that brought Click Bradfield to LaGrange, where she met Jamie's father. Thomas' father, Will, is the vice president for external relations at LaGrange College.
Will Jones said part of the reason he and his family moved to LaGrange was because they literally drew circles around the best hospitals for Thomas's care when they were looking to relocate. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston is known as one of the best to treat Thomas's genetic kidney disease and the job at LaGrange College happened to be open.
Who knew the circle they drew would include a donor for Thomas as well?
"God has hands all over this," Bradfield said.
The Bradfields don't seek out the spotlight, and frankly, the Jones don't, either.
But the community has embraced this story, and these two families, because it's hard for even the most hard-hearted, crusty reporter such as myself not to be touched by it.
People are hungry for good news. Twenty-seven people died in Newtown, Conn., at the hands of a shooter just before Christmas. Congress has an approval rating lower than cockroaches. Four children died in a fire in Conyers last week. And even LaGrange isn't without its bad news.
When the news was announced at First United Methodist Church that Thomas had a match and the donor was at the service, a gasp went up through the crowd at a church whose congregation is not known for dramatic outbursts.
Every once in a while, the good guy wins.
It's nice that small towns still celebrate that.

The teams: The Green Bay Packers (8-4) vs. the Detroit Lions (4-8).
The time: 7:20 p.m. CST Sunday.
The place: Lambeau Field, Green Bay.
The TV coverage: NBC – WTMJ (Ch. 4 in Milwaukee), WMTV (Ch. 15 in Madison) and WGBA (Ch. 26 in Green Bay).
The announcers: Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth.
The coaches: Green Bay's Mike McCarthy is 76-40 (including 5-3 in the postseason) in his seventh season as the Packers' coach and as an NFL head coach. Detroit's Jim Schwartz is 22-39 (including 0-1 in the postseason) in his fifth year as the Lions' coach and as an NFL head coach.
The series: The Packers lead the all-time regular-season series 92-65-7. The Packers have won 13 of the teams' last 14 meetings. The Packers have won 21 straight games against the Lions in the state of
Wisconsin (including a 1994 playoff game).
The rankings: The Packers' 16th-ranked offense is No. 20 in rushing and No. 11 in passing. Their 15th-ranked defense is No. 15 against the run and No. 17 against the pass. The Lions' second-ranked offense is No. 21 in rushing and No. 1 in passing. Their 19th-ranked defense is No. 19 against the run and No. 18 against the pass.
The line: The Packers are favored by 6.5 points.
The injury report:
Out – OLB Clay Matthews (hamstring), WR Jordy Nelson (hamstring), RB James Starks (knee), DE C.J. Wilson (knee), S Charles Woodson (collarbone).
Doubtful – DE Mike Neal (shoulder).
Questionable – G/T T.J. Lang (ankle). ILB Terrell Manning (shoulder).
Probable – WR Donald Driver (thumb), C Jeff Saturday (foot), CB Sam Shields (ankle).
Questionable –T Jeff Backus (hamstring), DT Nick Fairley (quadriceps), DT Corey Williams (knee), S Louis Delmas (knee), CB Chris Houston (ankle), CB Jacob Lacey (foot/Achilles).
Probable – T Gosder Cherilus (knees), WR Kassim Osgood (finger), LB Ashlee Palmer (thumb), DE Lawrence Jackson (concussion).
Owned: The last time the Lions won in the state of Wisconsin was on Dec. 15, 1991. Not a single player on the roster – not even 42-year-old kicker Jason Hanson, who was a rookie in 1992, when the Lions' futility streak in the state began – has ever won a game on Wisconsin soil. Of those 21 consecutive Packers victories (including one playoff game), 18 were played at Lambeau Field and three were at County Stadium (1992, 1993, 1994). The streak is the longest of consecutive road losses by one team to one team in NFL history.
How long has it been? Four current Packers players were 1-year-olds (Randall Cobb, Terrell Manning, Greg Van Roten and Jerel Worthy), McCarthy was a 27-year-old quarterbacks coach at the University of Pittsburgh and Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers was coaching defensive backs for the New Orleans Saints, a few years removed from working in the USFL.

Note: This post was edited at 1:45pm to reflect updated contract information about Lee's deal with the Phillies. We initially heard that the overall package for Lee was worth $147.5 million; however, the actual breakdown of the deal is $107.5 million for 5 years, with the $12.5 million buyout bringing it to $120 million guaranteed over six years. The $27.5 million vesting option for the sixth year brings the potential package to $135 million over six, for an AAV of $22.5M. The Yankees' highest offer was seven years and $148 million ($21.1M AAV).
The following is a guest post from sometime Yankeeist contributor David Meadvin.
This morning, my long-suffering Mets fan friend Tom suggested that Philadelphia's surprise signing of Cliff Lee might represent the "steal of the century." The conventional wisdom in the hours since this deal went down has been that Lee left a pile of money on the table to play for a team he felt most comfortable with.
That's good spin by Team Lee, but it doesn't quite tell the entire story.
It's taken as gospel these days that guaranteed years are the holy grail of free agency. The Yankees offered Lee a deal that, with a player option, included a seventh year. No other team was willing to go seven. So the Yanks' offer must have been the strongest, right?
Wrong. Let's look at the final reported offers for each of the three contenders:
Team | Guaranteed Years | Option | Total Value | AAV |
Phillies | 5 | 1 (vesting) | 6 years/$135 million | $22.5 million |
Rangers | 6 | 1 (vesting) | 7 years/$161 million | $23 million |
Yankees | 6 | 1 (player) | 7 years/$148 million | $21.1 million |
On total contract value, it appears that the Rangers offered the best deal at $161 million. But keep in mind, that's over seven years, versus the Phillies' six.
Cliff Lee will be 38 when his new deal expires, assuming the sixth year vests. While he won't be a spring chicken, his epic control suggests he can be an effective pitcher much longer than a pure power pitcher who can't hide behind a fastball that loses a few mph over the years. If he comes anywhere near retaining his form of the past three seasons over the life of this new contract, there's no reason to think he can't sign another multi-year deal at 38. Taking into account the possibility of further contract inflation six years from now, Lee could be setting himself up for another $50 million payday (3 years/$50 million doesn't seem ridiculous in 2017).
Even if this is Lee's last contract, if we round the Phillies' offer up, he took the highest average annual value, and that's the best way to judge this deal.
Baseball fans and pundits have been suggesting that this contract negotiation represents a watershed moment where the Yanks' huge financial advantage couldn't win the bidding war. Yankeeist wrote earlier this morning:
"Lee is that rare athlete who clearly isn't all about the money."
We now know that isn't true. Lee took the richest deal on the table. It's easy to say in hindsight that he wouldn't have signed with the Yankees for any amount of money. We'll never know. But if the Yanks had upped their deal to exceed the Phillies' offer on average annual value and the Rangers' on total value, there's no reason to think they wouldn't have gotten their man.
The Lee saga isn't a story about the Yankees getting rebuffed by a player who rejected their big money. After all these years, we've simply been trained to assume that's what happened. But this is actually a story about the Yankees setting a value on a player they wanted and sticking to that number, even if it meant being outbid.
That's a new way of doing business, and it bodes well for the future.
By day, David Meadvin is president of Inkwell Strategies, a professional speechwriting firm based in Washington, DC.

The 2012 Christmastime Tour of Homes from Uptown Wadesboro, Inc. (UWI) sold 156 tickets for the Dec. 2 tour. Guests grabbed a brochure and map to self-guide themselves to the marked locations, examining each home at their own pace. Most of the homes— built from 1890-1950s— were decorated for Christmas, many featuring unique trees, ornaments and dishes.
After enjoying cookies and cider and purchasing tickets at Wadesboro Town Hall, guests visited the first house on the tour, the Parsons-Ross House at 209 E. Wade St. Now used as the offices of Plank Road Realty, the house was built in 1890 by William and Rosa Leak Parsons, a practicing "druggist" and owner of Parsons Drug Store, according to a brochure on the tour from UWI. It was later purchased by Joyner and Elizabeth Alderman Ross around 1940 and includes sliding oak doors, oak recessed panels and wainscoting in the foyer, roped molding along the paneled oak stairway and 11-foot beaded ceilings.
Guests at this location listened to a barbershop quartet composed of local musicians Paul Turner, Dennis Turner, Rick Gilmore and Dave Arey, who sang a variety of songs, including Christmas classics such as "Silent Night."
The next stop on the tour was at 305 E. Martin St. A duplex built around 1930, this house was the second and third stop on the tour. Guests first visited Brook Crider's home at 305-2 and enjoyed refreshments, a beautiful Christmas tree and a fun holiday decorating style blending traditional and modern styles.
Krista Herold, an Anson County kindergarten teacher, showed the other half of the duplex, 305-1. Guests enjoyed Herold's beautiful personalized decorations, large Christmas tree, and browsing both upstairs and downstairs.
From there, tourists went to the fourth stop on the schedule, Nancy Jo Fuller's residence at 309 Patrick St. An impressive Victorian home built in 1915, Fuller's home features six fireplaces, heart pine wood floors, its original roof, writing on one of the fireplace foundations where children practiced arithmetic in 1916, and an original claw-foot tub in the master bathroom, according to UWI. A photo of the house 10years ago was available for guests to compare to its current made-over appearance.
The fifth stop on the tour on 206 Morven Road was unfortunately closed. Owned by James and Ernestine Richardson, the two Anson natives returned home after living in Charlotte for 41 years. Ernestine was born in Wadesboro; James, born in Ansonville, was the first black Deputy Sheriff certified in Anson County Sheriff's Department in 1973. The home was originally built in 1900 for LG Atkinson, according to UWI.
Michael Horne's florist shop at 312 Camden Road was the sixth stop on the tour. Constructed around 1910, the home was built by J.A. McRae, who owned a general store in Wadesboro in 1905. Michael and Alan Horne bought the home in September 2011. The home features heart pine wood floors and all of the windows are hand-blown originals. There are four fireplaces downstairs, with the upstairs fireplaces capped off with the original mantels in storage for future use, according to UWI. The Horne's was full not only with various plants but also unique dishes and decorations.
The seventh and final stop on the tour, Ken Caulder's home, is located at 606 N. Pine Lane. A classic 1950s ranch-style home, it was originally built for Edward J. "Red" and Vidas Eddins and has since undergone multiple additions and updates, according to UWI. Caulder's home featured several Christmas trees with unique ornaments, a candle-lit path from the driveway to the front door, and extensive other decorations. Caulder hosted an after-tour party at his residence.
The 156 tickets this year were an increase from the approximately 130 sold last year, and not even 100 sold two years ago, according to Town Hall. Those interested in being on the 2013 Christmastime Tour of Homes are encouraged to contact Wadesboro Town Hall at 704-694-5171 or Uptown Wadesboro, Inc. at 704-695-1644 or email@example.com.

Arrow Films have today unveiled a brand new trailer for the BORGEN Season 2 DVD & Blu-ray box set, which is released on Monday February 4th. Get a first look below!
The trailer follows the news that BORGEN star Sidse Babett Knudsen (who plays prime minister Birgitte Nyborg) will be in Edinburgh at the Filmhouse Cinema on Sunday February 3rd to attend screenings of the final episodes of BORGEN Season 2, followed by an audience Q&A. Sidse will be available for select interviews during the afternoon.
The Series 1 box-set release was featured in numerous end-of-year "Best Of" polls, with the Daily Telegraph's Patrick Smith hailing BORGEN as his favourite show of the 2012. BORGEN won the prestigious "Best International Award" at the 2012 BAFTAs.
In Season 1, we met Birgitte Nyborg (Sidse Babett Knudsen), a brilliant politician who becomes Denmark's first ever female prime minister. We followed her through the Early Stages of her leadership, as she juggles the high demands of her profession with her personal life.
As Season 2 begins, Birgitte has been in power for two years, years that have severely taken their toll on her private life. She must now balance her role of PM with that of divorcée and single-mother. Politically, she has succeeded in earning the respect of both her political allies as well as her enemies, but tensions between the parties are mounting.
Denmark's participation in international wars, along with certain central domestic policy issues, has generated friction through parliament. Birgitte increasingly finds herself having to make more and more shaky compromises to keep the country together.
We welcome back journalist Katrine Fønsmark (Birgitte Hjort Sorensen) who, having moved from being a TV news presenter to tabloid newspaper reporter at Ekspres, finds herself being morally and ethically challenged by a ruthless editor-in-chief.
Meanwhile, Kasper Juul (Pilou Asbæk), who continues to work as Birgitte's spin doctor, struggles to suppress his inner demons as his past threatens to intrude on his relationship with new girlfriend, Lotte.
Such has been the impact of BORGEN in the UK, the show is regularly referred to in UK parliament, and used as an example when discussing world, EU Politics, as well as our own coalition government.
Hailed as Denmark's answer to the West Wing, BORGEN works on many different levels - it appeals to straight-laced Drama fans, foreign language television enthusiasts, and those with a political interest alike. Laced with the same intelligence, depth and commitment as The Killing, BORGEN richly rewards those willing to look a little further afield to get their TV fix.
In addition to the standalone Season 2 box set on DVD & Blu-ray, Arrow Films' Nordic Noir label will release a combined BORGEN Seasons 1-2 box set, also available on both formats from Monday February 4th. Series 1-2 will be housed in a visually stunning white box, bearing the classic BORGEN logo, complete with embossed and glossed Danish government seal.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act: Conference Report
Section 748
23(A) - qui tam for whistleblowers under the Commodities Exchange Act
23 sub (H) - anti-retaliation provision, which permits whistleblowers to go to federal court if they are retaliated against for filing fraud claims under the Commodities Exchange ActSection 922
21F(a) qui tam for securities fraud: new qui tam rewards and incentives for whistleblowers who blow the whistle on securities violations
21F sub (H)(1) anti-retaliation provision for employees who file qui tam claims under securities law
(H)(1)(A)(iii) anti-retaliation for employees who make disclosures under SOX, any violation of SEC art or who make protected disclosures under obstruction of justice act
Claims filed in federal court - employees entitled to double back pay
(B) statistical ratings organizations (Moody's & Standard & Poor's) now protected under SOX anti-retaliation provisions (C) SOX whistleblower protection act enhanced and amended to increase the statute of limitations, guarantee jury trials, and prohibit mandatory arbitration agreementsSection 923 - Conforming amendments
Section 924 - SEC regulations to establish special whistleblower office and impose regulations enforcing whistleblower rules.Section 929A - SOX anti-retaliation law is clarified to ensure subsidiaries of publicly traded companies are fully protected under the whistleblower protection law
Section 966 - Federal employees are losers under the Act and regulators obtain no protections except a glorified "suggestion box"
Section 1057 - New whistleblower protection for employees who make disclosures to the newly created consumer protection board
Section 1079B(c) - Amends the False Claims Act anti-retaliation law to provide for universal national 3 year statute of limitations to file wrongful discharge claims under the False Claims Act.
Some, however, think it will have the opposite effect, and it's drawing fire from some whistleblower groups.
FBI Whistleblower Instrumental in Exposing Constitutional Violations That Threaten National Security
Washington, DC. January 19, 2010. In response to the front-page article appearing today in the Washington Post, the following statements were released by Stephen M. Kohn, attorney for Mr. Bassem Youssef (Chief of the FBI's Communications Analysis Unit/Counterterrorism Division) and National Whistleblowers Center Executive Director:
"Since 2005, when he first learned of the abuses reported in today's Washington Post, Mr. Youssef has attempted to ensure that the FBI complied with the law. Between 2006-08 he provided extensive testimony before the DOJ Office of Inspector General. In 2008 and 2009, his counsel provided three detailed letters to the Attorney General of the United States setting forth details on the misconduct committed within the FBI and urging that effective corrective actions be taken."

Many activists wonder how the future will unfold and many TZM members wonder how exactly the resource-based economy will work. The following is my on-point perspective, and I don't think I'm wrong:
We begin with a single term: open-source. At its core, open-source is about sharing knowledge. What is it? How does it work? How is it made, maintained, and designed?
I went to London looking forward to seeing how strong an event the London Z-Day would be in comparison to last year (because last year's was the main global event and so obviously was likely to have a strong showing). I wasn't disappointed.
Z-Day is an annual awareness-raising day the Zeitgeist Movement has to get people together through talks/lectures and discussions about the goal of a resource-based economy and the way forward to a healthy society.
The desert sunshine and 80 degree temperatures may seem like a gift in March, but to residents of Phoenix, they are a portent of the triple digit inferno that is July. So, faced with the opportunity to attend a conference in Vancouver, B.C., I seized winter by the coat-tails and flew with a friend to Portland, Oregon for a road-trip up the northwest coast. Vancouver's rainy cloud-cover animated its glass and steel skyline.
Most but not all of these folks fall into an activism category which believe the government needs to be adjusted to meet the needs of certain segments of the population. That generally means the poor or otherwise disenfranchised.
Most of us reading here know that doesn't work. Separating out segments of the population for special treatment by government just means more government, more overhead and generally less success. But how do you explain this to that group of progressives who see RBE ideas as no more than a new label for Libertarianism?
Announcing a new, Zeitgeist-inspired documentary, titled "Owned & Operated." The (admittedly somewhat American-centric) film takes a look at the world as it is, and the path we're currently headed down, as well as the world-wide awakening that's begun to take place.
The film ends on a cautiously optimistic view of the future, and attempts to show us that the human race is not just a wasted experiment.
False assumptions lead nowhere except to ... Parliament. The business of elections is usually laced with false representations by candidates, resulting in false assumptions by voters. With the current backdrop of economic and political unrest around the globe, it is time to explore alternatives to electoral representation, with a techie's imagination.

Featured on the Second Saturday of every month at Public Works, NON STOP BHANGRA is a unique experience that celebrates the beautiful and vibrant spirit of Bhangra, a traditional Punjabi folk music and dance.
Imagine a scene from a Bollywood movie smack in the middle of a thumping nightclub-swirling colors, the rhythm of pounding feet, & the relentless energy of brilliant beats -that's NON STOP BHANGRA!
Highlighting the ancestral roots of Punjabi dance while pushing boundaries with contemporary influences, Non Stop Bhangra is a genre-busting elixir of North Indian Bhangra music and dance, mixed with reggae, hip-hop, and electronica. An ever-evolving collective of dancers, DJs, drummers, vocalists, and musicians, Non Stop Bhangra is a non-stop party. Featuring dance lessons and performances with Dholrhythms Dance Company, and music by DJ Jimmy Love, alongside live Dhol players, live painting, and visuals, the group has won legions of fans with its monthly events in San Francisco.
Non Stop Bhangra was founded in 2004 when Dholrhythms founders Vicki Virk and Suman Raj teamed up with DJ Jimmy Love with the goal of bringing Bhangra to a wider audience. The first Non Stop Bhangra was hosted to celebrate the one year anniversary of Dholrhythms by providing a dance space for students of Dholrhythms Bhangra classes. Since then, NSB has made this traditional style a serious dance floor craze in San Francisco, drawing the most diverse crowds to join in the frenzy. NSB is a destination, creating sold out nights and write-ups as one of the best dance floor nights in San Francisco.
After 7 years of full capacity shows, in 2012, the award winning production moved into one of the hottest clubs in the city, Public Works. With this move comes later hours, more room to dance and late night food provided by Kasa Indian. Becoming one of the ambassadors for the sound of Bhangra in the US, the vision for the New Year is to expand on the experience. With some killer surprise guests lined up in the New Year, Non Stop Bhangra is ready to take West Coast Bhangra to a whole new level!
In addition to the monthly event, the group has performed at some of the largest stages in the West Coast including San Francisco's renowned Stern Grove Festival, TED XSF at Yerba Buena Center For the Arts, Goldman Environmental Prize Ceremony at War Memorial Opera House, Inaugration Ceremony of Mayor Ed Lee at SF City Hall, Michael Franti's Power to the Peaceful in Golden Gate Park, New Mexico's ¡Globalquerque!, Grand Performances in Los Angeles, Pasadena's Levitt Pavilion, and Canada's Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival and many more.

Stanko Barac looks like he has just about got over the injury jinx which has plagued him in recent seasons and is now finally firing on all cylinders and showing his stellar talent for Caja Laboral. The frustration of not having been able to contribute and progress as he might have wished could have really affected him but instead, he has had an excellent season in both the ACB and Euroleague, averaging almost 12 points per game in both competitions despite averaging around the 20 minute mark. As well as being able to finish around the hoop and even step outside and drain the occasional triple, he also has strong defensive capabilities too. He can block shots, rebound and bring a good presence to match up with opposing centers. He has missed the last two major tournaments since playing at the 2008 Olympics but should be back in the line-up at EuroBasket 2011.

Questions Raised About Bizarre Break-in At Hendrix College President's Home
By: Lauren Trager, KARK 4 News
Updated: February 18, 2013
Friday, we learned the man at the helm of Hendrix College in Conway had suddenly stepped down.
Some students say they were caught off-guard by the sudden resignation of Hendrix President J. Timothy Cloyd.
But some say they were completely unaware of what happened just after midnight on December 26 at the college-owned home Cloyd lives in.
Conway Police say they were following a suspected thief who'd burst into the Cloyd's home.
"When they go to that house on Winfield they heard someone screaming, "he's inside, he is inside," said LaTresha Woodruff with the Conway Police Department.
But according to a police report we obtained, it seems Cloyd was trying to take matters into his own hands.
Officers say Cloyd had "a strong smell of an intoxicating beverage about his person, and his speech was slightly slurred."
The report says Cloyd was waiving a handgun with his finger on the trigger.
One officer explained what Cloyd was saying.
He says Cloyd was pointing his weapon in the direction of the suspect and said 'I am going to kill that m***** f***** myself." The officer says he ordered Cloyd to drop the weapon and he refused by responding "this is my ******** house, **** you."
Conway Police say Cloyd refused multiple times to put his gun down, until they made him.
"The officer did physically take the weapon from him," said Woodruff.
Woodruff says Cloyd had a concealed carry license. Protecting his family wasn't the issue, it was his refusal to listen that worried them.
"They are there on scene and they are asking you to step down, then that's what you do," she said.
No one answered the door at the home when we went there Monday. Cloyd, who will still teach at the school, will continue to live there until the end of 2013.
Some students we spoke with say what happened, though, may now cast another light on the educational leader.
"I'm not in to having firearms so I don't know, that's concerning. That's concerning," said Mimi Saylors, a senior at Hendrix.
No one from the college was available for an on-camera interview. But we did receive an email back to our question of whether this incident had anything to do with Cloyd's resignation with just a one word answer: no.

Happy Police State Weekend!
As we head into Police State Weekend here in Toronto, it is apparent that convenience is a prerequisite for democracy in this country. They should've just made protesting illegal. That, at least, would've been honest.
We have designated areas where protests are permitted - the implicit meaning being we can be civilly disobedient as long as we are obedient about it. That the authorities deemed the designation of these so-called 'free speech zones' necessary also begs the question... what kind of speech zones are everywhere else? We also have a Toronto police force that, with municipal tax dollars, went out and bought a buncha' fancy sound cannons to disperse protesters with deafening, high pitched noise. Not sure you can truly call it a free country when citizens' tax dollars go to paying for weapons against their freedom of speech.
Today, though, freedom in Canada reached an all time low with news of the unprecedented power given to Toronto police for the duration of the G20 summit. This power was granted by a law passed by the ostensibly democratically elected Ontario government in secret, with no debate in the Legislature. In Canada, we have the right not to identify ourselves if the police have no grounds to ask us to do so. This right has been deemed inconvenient during the G20, however, so during Police State Weekend, the cops can search and arrest anyone within 5 meters of the security fence for no other reason than refusing to show ID.
That pesky Charter of Rights can be such a buzz kill for the boys in blue. It was so nice of the Ontario government to give the G20 cops a wider range of activities to break the monotony while they stand around wasting tax payer's money.
Police State Weekend...worst stat holiday ever!
Is this really the way it has to be? A security wall between us and the leaders we elected to serve us? A cosmopolitan city turned into a police state?
Because the leaders of G20 nations would find it too inconvenient, Toronto will not resemble a city in a democratic country this weekend. Letting citizens voices be heard would put rabbit ears in the photo ops and cause indigestion of the tax payer funded meals. The presence of these social and environmental activists at the party would be such a nuisance that they might as well invite each leader's most obnoxious drunk relative.
Imagine what a nuisance tackling worker's rights in the global economy would be. It'd be such a drag trying to draft a global fair trade policy that institutes a relative minimum wage and standards for working conditions that are binding and have a global scope. Sure, it'd be nice to address the exploitation of workers in developing countries and minimize the loss of manufacturing jobs in developed countries, but it'd be so rude to China that has largely built its economy on cheap labour.
Working on a serious strategy to combat climate change would be another social faux pas. It's just so much easier to pay empty lip service and come up with toothless non-binding agreements like the one they came up with at the Copenhagen Climate Conference. Stephen Harper, good host that he is, was well aware of this and tried to keep climate change off the agenda entirely. It really is endearing how he always sticks up for his tar sands buddies, but attempting any actions that will seriously reduce oil consumption would also greatly annoy oil states like Saudi Arabia.
Or, how about a plan to eliminate international tax havens, wouldn't that be a total douche bag move? Yeah, getting rid of these tax havens that place a disproportionate burden on the working poor and middle class to pay for social programs by allowing the deadbeat wealthy to evade taxes would be great, but how lame would that be to the rich folks that foot the bill for those leaders' election campaigns? It's not like shafting the taxpayer s that are footing the bill for the G20, because what's the most that shmos like us could contribute to their campaigns, a couple hundred bucks?
If all you got is chump change, they're gonna treat you like a chump.
And, that's what it all boils down to, really. The rich have the money that the politicians need to get elected. The politicians get elected with that big IOU as the dark cloud hanging over all their best intentions. The police enforce the laws made by the politicians working primarily on behalf of the rich.
And, if you don't like it and wanna go out and tell them all you don't like it, be prepared to have your eyes burn with tear gas, your ears bleed from sound cannons, and your head throb from the blows of a baton.
Canada - like all so-called democratic countries - is only democratic when it is convenient, which is when it matters the least. When you cease to be obedient with your civil disobedience, democracy ceases to apply to you.
Have a great Police State Weekend everybody!
Great post shawn, thanks.
That the authorities deemed the designation of these so-called 'free speech zones' necessary also begs the question... what kind of speech zones are everywhere else?
Um, they're called suppressed speech zones, aka Don't say shit the cops don't like or you'll get a pounding. Duh!
Didn't you get your "How To Act Like a Perfect Citizen Handbook?" Hey, I just noticed the footnote "Laws are subject to change without notice or due process". Shit.
And I trundle off to sleep, a few blocks from Yonge and Carlton, the sounds of police helicopters buzz overhead, into the night. Ah the cost of a free democracy for the rich and the elite. Where's the puke emote?
I watch the planes go by (Im near the airport) and I wonder if they have blocked off all the roads around the airport because there are a few where people like to watch the planes land and as they go over your head they are about (looks like) 30 feet above your head.
That must make them nervous.
Can you really hear the helicopters there Maysie? Whats it feel like in the neighbourhood? Here people are pretty resentful and Im in a pretty middle-upper middle class neighbourhood,
So, once again, it is demonstrated to us that whatever we thought our 'rights' were, they can be removed instantly if the PTB so decide, as they have done with police now empowered by decree to demand you identify yourself to them and they will arrest you if you don't. In a society with any degree of political awareness, such sweeping powers would not go unchallenged. There should be massive disobedience, not only to protest this massive infringement of civil and political rights, but to make its implementation impossible.
Why couldn't they have had this meeting at a military base instead of disrupting an entire city for a get together of international stooges who have no idea why their neoliberalorama is failing? All the security they claim they need would be right there and all around them. They could have saved taxpayers a lot of money. We can only conclude that they seek the attention of protesters and spending money that should go toward something more noble than advertising their own self-importance, like ending homelessness and alleviating poverty in general.

Darn right! But I guess that they wanted those on whom they count to enforce their systems and maintain the status quo to have some rewards: Overtime work is most sought after by the agents of the security apparutus. With overtime, a police officer's salary can reach $180,000.00. Apparently a feast for security agents from across Canada.
as was said by Jiam Ghomeshi on CBC Radio regarding the fence: Build it and they will come.
it's a provocation.
The tear gas, pepper spray, sound and water cannons, containment, or whatever assault they dream up next, are a problem at summits.
There are good times, though.
Being with thousands, tens of thousands, who share similar values is a real world high- a unique experience of the world-as-it-could-be, of the kin-dom at hand, of spiritual and physical shared presence.
those moments might be fleeting amidst the assaults, the disagreements, the rain...yet remain long-term, through distance and diverse paths.
"At one of the ho[u]ses police arrived at house where 15 activists were staying at approximately 4:45am . There was no warrant provided but the police then forced themselves in to the house. Even when a warrant was later provided, they were not allowed to fully read the warrant before it was taken away from them."
At the risk of volunteering "other" people to have to put up with this garbage, I still want to observe that they didn't even have to use a military base... I am hard pressed to think of a province that doesn't have an "elite-quality" resort, outside of the major cities, but in close proximity to major international airports (and major media outlets), that would have been suitable for these self-indulgent little get togethers. The previous G-8 meeting in Kananaskis here in Alberta serves as an example. I am wondering if the explanation falls more into a deep-seated desire of the Cons and their cronies in the security bureaucracy to wave the iron fist around a little, to demonstrate their complete contempt for the largest possible number of people.
"The targeting of organizers by plainclothes officers in unmarked vehicles is reminiscent of the worst kind of police State. The fact that organizers from No One Is Illegal are disproportionally targeted also points to the racially-targeted nature of police brutality. People who are fighting for the rights of undocumented and migrant workers are being disproportionally silenced."
It's a sad day for Toronto and CANADA - G20.
Most protesters were very peacefull it was a handfull that caused all the distruction and breaking of windows around the downtown core. It was mentioned by The Toronto Police Chief Blair (TPS) that the majority of the violence was created by a few people dressed all in black and called the "Black Bloc" a so called anarchist group but really criminals. They set 3 police cars on fire and then ran off into the mob crowd and disappeared, but several of them were apprehended. There were at least 570 arrested (as of Sunday) and they will have no problem finding a place to stay as the (TPS) has a film studio down by the lakefront they are using as a processing centre and jail.
Yesterday at one of the protests a deaf man was arrested for not HEARING the instructions from the police and as they held him during the protest, police surrounded him the crowd shouted "let him go, let him go"police with their bikes up-right, pushing them at the crowd, let's just hope tomorrow will bring much more peaceful protest, we encouage protest but not violence.
As I walked up Yonge Street to get home, I walked all the way to College St and saw not a single police officer. But when I got to Carlton St. there were all kinds in front of Police headquarters, and they had no broken windows. But College Park was hit hard with nearly every window broken in the Tim Hortons. Why did these stores not put up wooden barriers on their windows, because it seems they were putting them up today after they were broken?
It was reported this morning that someone saw people coming out of sewer last night at 1:30am.
On the lighter side they, brought out the clowns.
Daniel .. Toronto
I am wondering if the explanation falls more into a deep-seated desire of the Cons and their cronies in the security bureaucracy to wave the iron fist around a little, to demonstrate their complete contempt for the largest possible number of people.
..and particularly for the people of Toronto, who have rejected their fascism on a regular basis.
News agency Ria Novosti notes that the 2009 U.S. G20 summit cost US$18 million, while Canada's pricetag for the meetings was well over $1.1 billion.
"Thus Canada will spend 51 times more than the US did just a year ago to protect G8 leaders from Canadians," the agency writes.
"Canada must be a very dangerous country for world leaders."
This is outrageous! Our stooges are spending money like water. It's a boondoggle. They could have had all the security they needed at a Canadian military base. Instead they spend like drunken sailors with taxpayers footing the bills.
the subject title here is better than 'G20 protests turn violent'. The G20 protests weren't violent. a few provocateurs or whoever did some smashing of windows and fired a couple cars. Even if some group gives themselves an anti-G20 name and claims responsibility, it can't be said that the G20 protests were violent. For the most part they weren't. Ten thousand people protest the G20 over the period of a week, all peaceful, and a handful throw stuff. That's not 'G20 protests'.
G20 security turned violent.
Police turned violent.
Tear gas was sent off indiscriminately.
Rubber bullets were fired indiscriminately.
Residents and peaceful protesters were assaulted and illegally detained.
Looking at some of the pictures, i was reminded of the young people in earlier protests. one had a mental health breakdown following incarceration as a peaceful cd- he was roughed up by the cops and reported psychological abuse. other peaceful protesters, recuperated from bullet wounds, have not attended another protest since. a young Indigenous woman with athsma almost died from the tear gas. she moved away. others traumatized by their participation in democratic protest - traumatized by the assault on themselves by police- do not attend protests, look for alternative ways of expression. maybe that's part of why 70,000 in Quebec City protests are now only 10,000 in Toronto. of course increased transportation costs and increased demands and stresses of daily life contribute too.
The police state assaults and trauma are to blame, including the assaults on all people and the planet which are making life difficult generally.
I imagine some of the women and children assaulted by G20 security thugs might have something to say about G20 maternal health rhetoric. Tear gas includes nasty chemicals for the reproductive system as well.
This thread title is off too.
simple 'G20 Security as Violence' .
to bring in the money issue; "G20 securities violent"
or some such...
The international coverge has not been all bad:
thanks is right. It's all about putting on a display of force. Our stooges project powerlessness wrt the economy and social democracy. But they are all powerful when it comes to showing us who's in charge. If we want to challenge them, this is what we'll get. We're just cruisin' for a bruisin' if we think we can challenge the status quo. That's the message.
