3 Canadian Rail Companies to Have on Your Radar
Phillip is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
With Canadian rail firms outperforming their United States counterparts in recent quarters, it's easy to see why many American investors are looking north to invest their money. While Canadian National Railway (TSX: CNR) and Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX: CP) dominate the northern rail lines, CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX) also has a stake in Canadian freight deliveries.
Canadian deliveries have been steadily increasing in Canada due to strong demand in agricultural products, chemical carloads and intermodal.
Canadian National Railway diverts law suit, for now
CN shareholders can breathe a sigh of relief now that the firm has been exonerated by the Supreme Court of Canada after facing a potential $1.75-billion class action lawsuit. The court said the Saskatchewan law firm that filed the suit breached its duty of loyalty, as the firm had previously been retained by CN. This is a relief to CN, but the firm could face a future suit in relation to allegations that the firm overcharged 100,000 Western farmers for transporting their grain.
Unlike many of its counterparts, CN transports an incredibly wide range of cargo. However, its competition largely carries more coal and less forest products. The company is strong in hauling chemicals, intermodal and agriculture, and that has helped the firm to increase its net income at about a 13% compounded annual rate over the past decade.
According to Morningstar, the fair value of the company is $102, yet it is currently priced at around $103 per share. However, I see the efficiency of the firm as being a major benefit moving forward, as the company continues to streamline operations with an ever-improving operating ratio (expenses/revenue), which has improved from about 90% to around 60%.
Canadian Pacific Railway recovering from Alberta floods
CP is dealing with the aftermath of one of its bridges collapsing in Calgary. Other portions of its track were wiped out during a massive flood in Southern Alberta. A CP spokesperson said in late June that the company hadn't figured out how much the damage has cost the company.
The firm's future looks bright, as new CEO Hunter Harrison has made solid steps since joining the company at the end of the second quarter in 2012. He is getting costs under control in several departments, which indicates increased profit margins in the years ahead. In the first quarter after taking over, CP managed to more than double its profit margin, from around 7.5% to 15.5%.
CSX Corporation improves operating ratio
CSX operates in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec, as well as in 23 Eastern states. Similar to CN, the company has shown major progress in the operating ratio. In 2003, the operating ratio was over 90%, but that has improved to about 71% recently. According to Morningstar, the company might manage to increase carloads in every commodity except for coal in 2013.
The firm is not only at an advantage to its American counterparts due to its Canadian exposure, it is also at a future advantage because of its strategic positioning in the Eastern portion of its U.S. network. In fact, the company's tracks stretch further than one of its large competitors, Norfolk. The track reaches to New England and Florida, which sets the company up nicely as the go-to source for future business.
Rail is a safe way to invest
Investing in rail companies is almost a surefire way to help recession-proof your portfolio. Rail firms are among the least likely to go out of business due to competition because it is next to impossible to attain the right-of-way if it is not already established. That makes these three rail operators in Canada secure in their position to cash in on major hauling in the years ahead, particularly due to increasing cargo demand throughout Canada.

Moving big music
Freuck says his Upstaging crew is "usually made up of core guys, drivers with a lot of experience, but we'll always have a couple of new guys coming along. The first thing I do is impress on them that we are 100 percent professional all the time. I take them into the show first night out and show them the people enjoying the show. That's what we do; we help make them happy, and we don't disappoint them or the people behind the lights."
Freuck's wife Kathleen says the drivers seldom receive the praise they deserve.
"If not for them, the show would not happen," she says. "I was impressed by the fact that during his acceptance speech at the CMA Awards, Kenny Chesney even gave thanks to the truck drivers!"
Professionals, Not Buddies or Fans
Drivers on big tours are not encouraged to hang out with the stars of the tour. But they do get close enough to become workplace colleagues.
Lead driver Jim Freuck says Kenny Chesney threw a party for all the behind-the-scenes people on his tour on a free night, and Robert Law says Toby Keith rented a building in California for a closed-door party for the support staff on his current tour.
Law says the stars of the shows are easy to get along with, and Toby Keith will sit and eat with everyone else on the tour. "It's really a tight-knit family on the road, and I see Toby a lot at catering or he'll be out playing basketball," Law says. "You get a lot of chances to talk when things are slow. Everyday stuff, you know; you don't talk about the show or ask for autographs for friends. In the morning at breakfast or in the production office it's easy to chat, but you don't bother an artist before a show when they are trying to focus."
Freuck's wife Kathleen says, "A lot of people think that it must be a glamorous job and that Jim is out there having a great time, seeing the shows, hobnobbing with the stars, etc., but in reality he rarely ever gets to see the show, unless they are in a city for multiple nights."
It's clear the drivers like and respect the people they're hauling for, but, says Freuck, when you get a chance to stop and talk, you take it, but don't abuse your access.
The occasional star-struck driver will want to hang out with the band back stage, but it's frowned upon.
"Someone who goes to every show and hangs out back stage is not concentrating on his job," Freuck says. "They tend to get weeded out or not asked back. We're professionals, not fans."
Big Ticket Items
How do the big touring acts pay for the traveling show that rolls with them in buses and big trucks?
Concerts are big business, very big. And Kenny Chesney is the best seller of all.
According to Pollstar, in the first half of this year the top 100 touring acts sold 14.5 millions tickets at an average price of $50.27, bringing in $731 million.
Chesney sold 610,000 tickets at an average price of $57.39. While the Irish rock band U2 grossed more money than any other act, Chesney was by far the biggest ticket seller. Chesney's 610,000 tickets so far this year compared to the Irish band's total of nearly 500,000.

>> Wednesday, July 29, 2009 – It's a good life
Ah, it's that time of the year again. Time to get my fingers dirty, squatting around in nature-based community reserves, filling hole after hole with natives shrubs, grasses, trees or bushes whilst nattering to fellow conservationists. And once I've done with my squatting (and admonished Grumbles for the fourteenth time that she's meant to be watering in the plants, not Mummy's bleeping foot!) it'll be time to head over to the free bbq to grab myself a falafel roll choc-filled with salad, and kick back and listen to the band.
That's right, folks - it's National Tree Day. Not only is it loads of fun, but the day is a great chance for regular Australians to actively participate in caring for our incredible environment. So, rather than loafing around on the couch this Sunday, head on over to your local tree planting site, and help make a difference in the fight against climate change and safeguarding our biodiversity.
For more info, see the official Planet Ark National Tree Day Site. Bring some friends (and gloves and rubber boots) and make a day of it!

Purdue has hired Greg Burns as defensive backs coach.
Burns replaces Lou Anarumo, who recently took a job with the Miami Dolphins. Purdue made the announcement on Friday.
Burns spent the previous four seasons as the cornerbacks coach at Arizona State. The Sun Devils led the then-Pac-10 and finished among the nation's top units in rushing, passing and total defense in 2009.
In his 14 seasons as an assistant coach at the collegiate level, Burns has been a part of nine bowl teams, including four BCS bowls, and won national championships in 2003 and 2004 while secondary coach at USC. He has coached All-America safeties Troy Polamalu (2002) and Darnell Bing (2005).

My daughter has had one ear infection after another. When she gets an infection, she seems to have trouble hearing, but with medicine it always gets better. Still, I'm worried that these infections could lead to permanent hearing loss somewhere down the line. Could this happen?
- Yasmine
Ear infections are common in childhood. As with your daughter, some kids do have temporary hearing loss due to the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear, but it usually goes away with treatment.
It's very rare, however, for kids to develop permanent hearing loss, even when they've had several ear infections. A child with frequent or chronic ear infections is at risk for permanent hearing loss only when damage has been done to the eardrum, the bones of the ear, or the hearing nerve.
Since your daughter's hearing appears to return to normal after treatment for an ear infection, she's probably not at risk for permanent hearing loss. But if you're concerned, talk to your doctor about scheduling a hearing exam.
If your daughter's ear infections continue to be a problem, the doctor might refer her to an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat doctor), who may suggest ear tube placement to help reduce the incidence of ear infections and limit the potential problems they can cause to her hearing.

help you understand their products directly, these insurers wish to contact you
in next 48 hours. Please uncheck if you do not wish to be contacted by any of
There are various types of life insurance available in the market today. These life insurance policies can be classified in terms of the customer segment they cater to such as child insurance plans, retirement plans and savings and investment plans. On the other hand they can be categorised by the benefits/ coverage that they provide such as term life insurance, whole life policy, endowment policy.
Term life insurance is a type of life insurance that provides a death benefit to the beneficiary only if the insured dies during a specified period. If the insured survives until the end of the period, or term, the coverage ceases without value and a payout or death claim cannot be made. Term life insurance is income replacement that remains active for a specified number of years. Term life insurance is the most affordable type of life insurance. Term life insurance plans can further be classified into:
• Level Term Life Insurance: where the death benefit remains the same throughout the policy term and the renewal premium is constant.
• Decreasing Term Life Insurance: where the death benefit under the plan decreases with time and the renewal premium is constant. For example: Mortgage redemption policies, credit life insurance.
• Increasing Term Life Insurance where the coverage and premium increase.
Whole life insurance is a type of life insurance that provides you coverage throughout your lifetime provided the policy is in force. Whole life insurance policies also contain a cash value component that increases over time. You can withdraw your cash value or take out a loan against it as per your convenience. In addition, in case of your unfortunate demise before you pay back the loan, the death benefit paid to your beneficiaries will be reduced.
An endowment policy is defined as A type of life insurance that is payable to the insured if he/she is still living on the policy's maturity date, or to a beneficiary otherwise. An endowment policy provides you with a dual combination of protection and savings. In an endowment policy, in the event of death of the insured during the term of the policy, the nominee receives the sum assured plus the bonus or participating profit or guaranteed additions, if any. The bonus or profit is paid for the number of years that the insured survives in the policy term.
Money back policy give you money during the policy tenure. A money back policy gives you a percentage of the sum assured at regular intervals during your policy term. If you live beyond the term of the policy then you will receive the remaining portion of the corpus and the accrued bonus also at the end of the policy term.
But in case of an unfortunate event before the full term of the policy is over; the beneficiaries are entitled to receive the entire sum assured regardless of the number of installments paid out. Money back policies are the most expensive insurance options offered by insurance companies as they offer returns to the insured during the policy tenure.
Money Back policy gives way for a person to plan the course of his life with a sum that is expected in regular intervals. Plans such as children's education, children's marriage can be executed in a better way with the help of this policy.
Savings & Investment Plans provide you the assurance of lump sum funds for you and your family's future expenses. While providing an excellent savings tool for your short term and long term financial goals, these plans also assure your family a certain sum by way of an insurance cover. This is a broad categorisation which covers both the traditional and unit linked plans.
A savings and investment plan that provides you with income during retirement are called retirement plans. Retirement plans are offered by life insurance companies in India and help you to build a retirement corpus. On maturity this corpus is invested for generating a regular income stream, which is referred to as pension or annuity. Retirement plans are further classified into.
• 'With cover' and 'without cover' plans: 'with cover' pension plans offer an assured life cover in case of an eventuality and the 'without cover' pension plan, the corpus built till is given out to the nominees in case of an eventuality. There is no life cover in without cover plans.
• Immediate Annuity Plans: In case of immediate annuity plans, the pension commences within one year of having paid the premium
• Deferred Annuity Plans: In case of deferred annuity, the pension does not commence immediately; it is 'deferred' up to a time, which is decided upon by the policyholder.
Unit linked insurance plans are a type of life insurance plan that provide you with a dual advantage of protection and flexibility in investment. An unit-linked insurance plan (ULIP) is a type of life insurance where the cash value of a policy varies according to the current net asset value of the underlying investment assets.
The premium paid is used to purchase units in investment assets chosen by the policyholder.
Types of Unit Linked Insurance Plans (according to investment):
• Aggressive ULIP's which invest 80-100% in equity.
• Balanced ULIP's which invest 40-60% in equity.
• Conservative ULIP's which invest up to 20% in equity.
Types of Unit Linked Insurance Plans (according to death benefit)
• Type I ULIP: It gives the higher of the sum assured or fund value as death benefit
• Type II ULIP: This plan pays the policy holder both benefits i.e. sum assured plus fund value as death benefit.
A child insurance policy is a saving cum investment plan that is designed to meet your child's future financial needs. A child insurance policy allows your kids the freedom to realize their dreams. Child insurance policy gives you the advantage to start investing in the children's plan right from the time the child is born and provisions to withdraw the savings once the child reaches adulthood. Some child insurance policy do allow intermediate withdrawals, at certain intervals.

Found a replacement for my DSL modem that lightning fried. It was a Siemens SpeedStream 4100b, known for being pretty much the best DSL modem ever produced (and the replacement is the same thing).
I still wish I didn't have to deal with horrible service from CenturyLink out here in the middle of nowhere, but you do what you have to do… at least with this modem I'll have a 1-2dB higher SNR margin over the regular SpeedStream 4100 I'm using now (I've collected 2 or 3 of them as backups over the years), which is pretty useful when you have an ISP that sends out line techs who don't even know what what I just said even means. Yeah, I'm not even exaggerating there… the last guy they sent out was very, VERY nice, but all I got when I mentioned things like the SNR margin or CRC errors on the line was a blank stare. Ugh. He did a great job of repairing the physical lightning damage and clearly knew all about the copper infrastructure that DSL runs over, but it would have been nice if they had sent a buddy along with him who knew ANYTHING about what actually goes over those lines.
Anyway, here's hoping the FCC transition from subsidizing POTS to subsidizing rural broadband does something to help me out sometime within the next few years! At this point I would kill to even be able to get shitty service from Cox instead.
To anyone else in the same situation (rural location with DSL on a very marginal line), grab a SpeedStream 4100b if you can find one. Not only does it deal with line noise better but it also has TCP ACK prioritization right in the modem firmware. What does this mean to you? Simple… it means your BitTorrent uploads won't lag the shit out of your downloads. :p

WASHINGTON — Former energy company executive John Bryson Tuesday sought to persuade Republicans he would be a strong voice for business in President Barack Obama's administration if confirmed as Commerce Secretary.
"The reason that President Obama reached out to me was my business experience," Bryson told the Senate Commerce Committee during a hearing in which he faced questions about his support for unpopular cap-and-trade legislation to curb carbon emissions believed to contribute to global climate change.
However, Sen, John Thune, R-S.D., said Bryson could have a hard time winning approval until Obama formally submits three long-delayed free trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia to Congress for approval.
Republicans said three months ago they would oppose any of Obama's trade nominees until he sends the deals to Congress and are still waiting for him to do that, Thune said.
Bryson served as chief executive of California utility Edison International from 1990 to 2008 before becoming chairman of BrightSource Energy, a solar energy company.
He told the Senate panel his top priority would be to help the U.S. economy create more jobs.
"If confirmed, I will be a voice in this administration for simplifying regulations that are difficult to understand and eliminating regulations that are unnecessary," he said.
Bryson, who resigned last week from Boeing's board of directors, also criticized the National Labor Relations Board's decision to pursue a formal complaint against the aircraft manufacturer for its decision to site a 787 Dreamliner assembly line in non-union South Carolina.
"I think it's not the right judgment," Bryson said. "We thought we were doing the right thing for the country" by locating the jobs in South Carolina instead of moving them overseas, Bryson said.
The NRLB complaint asserts Boeing located the jobs in South Carolina to punish the International Association of Machinists for past strikes.
Before Tuesday's hearing, Sen. John Barrasso, a member of the Senate Republican leadership, branded Bryson an "environmental extremist" for his support of cap-and-trade legislation that failed to clear the Senate and his role in founding the Natural Resource Defense Council, a leading environmental group.
No Republican used that term during the confirmation hearing on Tuesday, but Sen. Jim DeMint said he hoped Bryson would have the "courage to speak up against some of most anti-business policies I think we have ever seen in our country" under the Obama administration.
Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, pressed Bryson for assurances his support for cap-and-trade legislation did not mean he would press for phasing out the use of coal.
"No, not at all," Bryson said, saying he believed the United States had to rely on a diverse mix of fuels.

- Process: Solvent Extracted Absolute -10% Dilution in Fractionated Coconut Oil
- Plant Part: Flowers
- Cultivation: Cultivated
- Use: Natural Perfumery
- Note: Middle Note
- Aroma: Warm, sweet with soft spicy undertones. Excellent tenacity.
Moroccan Rose Absolute 10%
We are happy to be able to offer this wonderful rose oil from Morocco. It is slightly sweeter than the Bulgarian Rose Absolute and will act as a better middle to top note. They are both excellent and highly recommended. They can also be effectively blended together.
Used throughout history for its lovely scent, Rose oil is the premier oil of love, esteemed for being a classical "heart opener". In aromatherapy, rose is used for depression, in skin formulas, and as a tonic for the female reproductive system.
Our Moroccan Rose Absolute is very concentrated - please dilute this oil into jojoba oil (or perfumer's alcohol) prior to using. Feel free to use it in your natural perfume blends, especially in combination with Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, and Sandalwood. Also try blending Rose Absolute with our Amber Essence Oil to make your own unique amber rose oil.
Perfumery Uses: The oil of love, encourages a feeling of happiness and contentment
For the pure and undiluted version of this oil, see our Rose Absolute, Morocco
Customer Reviews for Rose Absolute, Morocco - 10%
- Romantic aroma in my mind Review by Kero
The smell of Rose Absolute, Morocco - 10% is so lovely. The most beautiful flower in the world - Rose, it's magical when you are in bad mood or depressed, Rose can save you and light you up.
When I go out by bus or other public transportation, I sometimes get carsick or dizzy. I will take out one small bottle of Rose, and put some onto my arms and wrist. It made me feel better and release. (Posted on 9/17/14)
- Lovely! Review by Amber
I THINK this is my favorite rose, but then again, I love them all!! I love that you offer them diluted at a lower cost!
(Posted on 9/2/14)
- Another great rose Review by Florence
- Just like the Bulgarian Rose dilution, this is another great rose that EB has made affordable. I love wearing this as a single note perfume and the dilution make it easy. It blends wonderfully with other florals, citrus and . . . almost everything else. I just blended it with Coconut CO2. Such a smooth comforting scent. (Posted on 8/29/14)
- My favorite rosa damascena absolute oil Review by bergamotpinenut
- When I first began to familiarize myself with Eden's rose oils, this was my favorite of the rosa damascena absolutes. I think it is the most accessible rose absolute, the one that smells most closely to an actual rose to the untrained nose. As I've gained more experience with rose absolute, I've come to also appreciate the Bulgarian and Egyptian rose absolutes and ended up purchasing the prediluted bulgarian in bulk. But this is probably still my favorite, especially mixed with some rose de mai absolute and/or organic rose de mai. Personally, I find rosa centifolia to be more magical, more uplifting, but damascena, especially in otto form, can be more grounding. It's a lot of fun to see what blending different rose oils with each other can do and it's hard to mess up when blending rose with rose. In the 10% dilution this is an amazing value. (Posted on 8/29/14)
- Affordable luxury Review by SW
- I have to admit I use Rose Absolute, Morocco - 10% with abandon! It's a beautiful and affordable luxury and I appreciate that Eden offers 2 kinds of rose in 10% dilutions. I am a perfumer but use this particular dilution in my homemade facial oils and sometimes I just open the bottle and breathe in the lovely scent. (Posted on 2/16/13)

Spencer P. Eccles announced Thursday he is departing as executive director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development to help form a new private investment company.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert said Eccles' "leadership has helped Utah be at the forefront in bringing the nation out of one of the most devastating economic recessions this country has ever seen."
More from GOED
Corporate attorney Theresa Foxley has joined the Governor's Office of Economic Development as managing director of corporate recruitment and business services. She will oversee all of the business-development functions of incentives, government contracting, bonding and business resources.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
He noted that during Eccles' five-year tenure, Utah's unemployment rate decreased from over 8 percent to 3.8 percent, and the job growth rate has risen to 2.9 percent.
"He has succeeded in every aspect of the post, fostering the economic growth and development that is the 'rising tide that lifts all boats,'" Herbert said.
Eccles credited his team.
"I've been fortunate to work with what I believe is the greatest economic development team in the country, who have, at every turn, placed the good of their fellow Utahns above themselves," he said.
Eccles is forming a private investment company, The Cynosure Group, with partners Randal K. Quarles and Bud Scruggs. Quarles was the under secretary of the treasury in the George W. Bush administration, and Scruggs was a senior executive at Leucadia National Corp. and a chief of staff to former Gov. Norm Bangerter.
A press release from the new company said it will bring together the resources of a number of families from around the country, "including the Eccles family of Salt Lake City, to make long-term equity investments in private companies across a range of industries."
It said the name Cynosure commemorates the ship that brought David Eccles and his family to America in 1863 from Scotland. He went on to become one of the West's most successful industrialists and investors.
"Our family has a 150-year history of taking influential minority positions in companies with strong growth prospects and helping those companies become leaders in their industries," Spencer Eccles said, and it looks "forward to building on that legacy with Cynosure."
Quarles said, "Cynosure will invest in small and mid-size firms that have strong management and, typically, good cash flow." It hopes to join with other investors to help those companies grow.
Scruggs said the time was right for the venture.
"We have discussed establishing this type of firm for several years. The timing has finally come together with Randy's return from Washington, D.C.; Spencer's fulfillment of his term in public service; and my return from Australia."

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
That so much change should come when thou dost go,
Is mystery that I cannot ravel quite.
The very house seems dark as when the light
Of lamps goes out. Each wonted thing doth grow
So altered, that I wander to and fro
Bewildered by the most familiar sight,
And feel like one who rouses in the night
From dream of ecstasy, and cannot know
At first if he be sleeping or awake.
My foolish heart so foolish for thy sake
Hath grown, dear one!
Teach me to be more wise.
I blush for all my foolishness doth lack;
I fear to seem a coward in thine eyes.
Teach me, dear one,--but first thou must come back!

Couch Thieves Fail, Never Played Tetris

I like how it took 2 guys to steal it and only one guy to get them back.
Nintendo is a bad influence.
that was the shit
they woulda gotten away with one if they hadn't been greedy and went for the second
I learn so much about grammar on this site.
Grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.
Thumbs up if you played tetris after this....
Some friendly advice to whoever wrote the headline: You use a semicolon, not a comma, to link two closely related ideas. Grade 4 grammar ...
Go back to 4th grade then because a semicolon is used to connect two complete sentences with closely related ideas. Where's the grammar police when you need them...
You are wrong. Check your facts before you give advice, especially if you do it so disdainfully. White's "Element of Style" says "if two or more clauses grammatically complete and not joined by a conjunction are to form a single compound sentence, the proper mark of punctuation is a semicolon." Note that a semicolon joins two COMPLETE clauses (independent clauses), which means each clause has to have at least a subject and a verb. "Never played tetris" lacks a noun, theref
wow, those are some light skinned black guys
The music is actually coming from the security Guard's game boy as he's playing Tetris in the background instead of monitoring the camera screens.
cool-Jon. it is Tetris.
Tetris???? Really break? That is not at all like tetris.. Maybe connect 4, but tetris? Tetris moves are a combination of Tetriminos, which is Latin for "The Pieces". These combination pieces are as follows. 1. Log. 2. L shape. 3. Box. 4. Staircase. What would a couch have anything to do with any of these characteristics? Sorry for taking so much offense here, but I simply must point out flaws in statements that are not correct.
Couch thieves...Tetris...come on Break, you can't POSSIBLY be THAT dumb!
I just watched the video and read the headline again....Yep they are

Hi Everyone! Happy Snow Day for those on the East Coast. After a bit of a hiatus from the blog, I took the snow day and beautiful white snow as an opportunity to finally get a post up! One of my favorite buys from Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend sales is this Laundry by Shelli Segal jacket. After a frigid Thanksgiving break in NYC, a warm coat was the only thing I wanted. The coat is currently on mega sale, so just a heads up for those looking for a warm coat as well.

A few months back, Seattle based artist Clayton Weller, wrote a piece addressing what he feels is a self-limiting outlook held by many artists that theatre is dying and there is no money out there. He confesses to having embraced the same outlook until he worked for a start up company.
Now he advocates for every artist to work for a start up in order to adopt their more nimble outlook. (my emphasis)
When you say the word "business" to someone, especially an artist, they automatically assume you're talking about something stuffy, rigid, uncompromising, and [insert horrible adjective].
You say "business" but they hear "bureaucracy." THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING!…
To eschew something because it can be done poorly, is a disservice to yourself, and might rival einsteins famous definition of insanity (look it up plebes!).
Talking directly to people, iterating ideas before execution, creating a feedback loop with measurable data; it all makes perfect sense.
By doing this you create a real connection with your customer (audience) and develop a product (art) people will not only tolerate, but will clamor for. In terms that an artist would use: your art becomes relevant.
That's a big deal.
The average artist does NONE of these things. Not only that, they intentionally avoid them. They lock themselves away to pursue their secret "vision." When they receive negative criticism, they blame their audience (customer). WHAT?!?
For me this addresses some age old debates about artists being more business minded and selling out vs. thinking you know what audiences/customers should like. (the most negative extremes of the spectrum)
Obviously, I like his point about not dismissing options because other people don't do it well.
I think the complicating factor is the fear is that you too won't do it well and the process will dominate your time and take you away from your creative work. Or worse, make you resent your creative work for making it necessary to become involved in the business side. For some it may not be a wholly irrational fear.
Still, I think regardless of your fears and regardless of your views about what constitutes selling out and remaining true to your art, the feedback loop Weller mentions is a useful process.
Failure and missteps are things you will face, especially when you are working in the arts. Proper feedback can help minimize this over time. If nothing else, the process can help you identify the proper people to solicit for feedback.
If you start a flow chart from the simple proposition that you want to support yourself with your art. You can ask, do people say nice things about my art? If the answer is yes but they don't pay for it, you either need to find other people to get feedback from or figure out a different way to monetize your art from the people giving you feedback.
Likewise, if there are a lot of people who criticize your work, but still won't buy it after you make the changes to the areas in which they say you fell short, then you may need to find other people to solicit feedback from.
Obviously it isn't as completely clear cut as that. The problem may lie in your execution not being very good. My point is that you can't depend entirely on your family and friends or trolls for feedback. It is necessary to identify people with the level of discernment you seek whose feedback you can trust and work from there.
You just need to recognize and own the potential implications of appealing to 1,000 versus 100,000. You can make a lot of money from those 1,000, but you need to be producing to a certain standard. Meeting the expectations of 1,000 can be just as burdensome as that of 100,000.

god life is good
god come back
why have you forsaken me
and why have I forgotten
god life is good I love it I love it I love it
you know how I self-medicate every morning
outskirts of a bathroom window fill my lungs
and I breathe the world's morning dawning singing somewhere
standing in wait and waiting for me to stand
for the right thing in my head
do do do
this is your next step
create create create
and stop thinking about creating
live live live
and be responsible
god, life is good.
I saw your breeze again.
I remember you. I never forgot.
I just forget sometimes.
I brushed my teeth so well
they're damaged now
I prayed to some big picture that surrounds me
just like I should
but it all came up in my mind
as some guy on a throne again.

It Was Written
He picked up the phone and disengaged the clip that held the battery fast. The flat dense rectangle lifted gently away from the rest of the instrument. A mirror process liberated a charged battery from the charger on the counter and fixed it in the place of its dislodged twin. He dialed the phone number. His thumbnail poked out the key tone for reach number. The phone rang once...twice..."you are so punctual."
he sighed and stretched. A small little grunt squeezed out of him. She laughed. "Don't you have anything to say?"Hhe did not. he was still smiling. Happy from the sound ofHer voice and the pleasure of hearing it. The trance was already creeping up on him. he hung on though. She mightwant to talk about something first, some idle chit chat or a conversation. he almost did not care. The sound of Her voice was a source of pleasure to him. If She just wanted to talk, he knew it waswhat She wanted and there was an unusually large amount of pleasure in that too.
She did not though. She heard him drift slightly and announced Her intention to take him. His assent was the hypnotic analogue to being 6 inches in the air and asking Her how high She wantedhim to go; though now it was more like how deep. Time had become elastic under Her influence. Normally, he felt every tick of a clock in his bones. Under Her spell he did not know whether five minutes or an hour passed. Joy and pleasure filled his mind as he listened and relaxed, listened and obeyed the pleasure of Her, filling hisconsciousness and existence with Her thoughts, Her will subverting his. The thought of it was exciting and arousing to him.
She knew he had other lovers. Women he slept with. Whose pussies hepleasured orally and digitally. Women who he entered with his penis and filled with his semen. She knew because She asked and he told Her. He held nothing back from Her and nothing held him back from Her. She gave him this freedom and used this freedom to further bind him to Her. She was linked to all his pleasure and all his pleasure was linked to Her. Every woman he looked at and lusted after. Every woman whose scent he smelled. Every woman he tasted. Each lap of his tongue. Each thrust of his cock, drove him deeper into Her control. Each orgasm was a surrender to Her. It increased his pleasure and his desire for each of them. She had brought him to this, given himthis service to Her. He knew this and it aroused him. He was grateful to Her for it. She took good care of him.

The Nevada Highway Patrol has identified the woman killed when she was hit by a car while crossing a street in Fernley on Monday night.
Troopers say 63-year-old Sylvestra Alvarado of Fernley was walking westbound across Farm District Road in or near the marked crosswalk when she was hit by a black 2007 Cadillac CTS sedan driven by 49-year-old Antionette Vann of Fallon.
Vann was driving south on Farm District near Jennys Lane. Troopers say the left front of the sedan hit Alvardo. She died at the scene.
Vann's two children were inside the Cadillac when the accident happened just after 8:30pm. No one inside the sedan was hurt.
Authorities say Vann is cooperating with the investigation. They say alcohol is not believed to be involved in this accident.
Troopers say once the investigation is complete, any applicable charges will be forwarded to the Lyon County District Attorney's Office for review.

Getting SQL Server Instance List With NetServerEnum
Hi everyone,
I've been doing research yesterday for several hours without finding what I was really looking for.
I need to get a list of SQL Server available on the network with their instance name. This is simply to populate a combo box in Access to let the user choose their server location.
I saw a couple answers on this board regarding this question, and most of the answers were to use the "SQLDMO" object and its references. But I don't want to do that because that would imply deploying those librairies to all computers just to ease up on the programming.
I know there is a way to list the SQL Servers from the NetServerEnum but the problem is that the instances names are missing from that list.
If you go through the ODBC Data Sources in windows, Windows is able to get a list of all the SQL servers and instances names, so why can't we?
I found a function called SQLBrowseConnect() that I guess is from the ODBC32.dll but I can't get any good example for VBA and how to use it.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks a lot.

NetServerEnum ?
I am building a list of Servers on our network utilizing the NetServerEnum API call as follows:
VB Code:
L = NetServerEnum(ByVal 0&, _ Level, _ bufPtr, _ PrefMaxLen, _ EntriesRead, _ TotalEntries, _ SV_TYPE_SERVER Or SV_TYPE_DOMAIN_CTRL, _ Domain(0), _ hResume)
The problem I'm having is that I'm getting NT Workstations, Windows 2000 workstations, and some Windows 98 workstations included the returned data. Anyone have any idea's why these machines would be returned as servers?
I went to MSDN to find NetServerEmum. I have found what i need, well sort of. I have five pages of explanation that i don't understand. Does anyone happen to have an example??

Single Instance Server
I have a weather station on my home that sends weather data out a serial port. I would like to create a server object that will monitor the weather station. All this is easy, what I need is to be able to call that server and get the weather data from any application. Specifically the server will run as a windows NT service and continually monitor the data stream. How do I create the server so that when a client wants data it can communicate with the server and get the data. I wanted to use com, but I can't see how to let a client get the data from the server withought the client creating another instace of the server. I can only have one instance of the server that will allways be running. I hope to just expose some properties of the server to be read by the client. Any ideas how to do this? I don't know quite how to make this inter process communication take place. I don't want to use TCP/IP, I would like it easily callable from asp.

NetServerEnum API.
The Api which enumerates netowrk objects in my case SQL Servers.
Can someone tell me if I am correct in thinking this.

Ive read and just want to be sure that it can take upwards of 15mins before the master server updates whats happening....
Thanx again in advance...

Creating Single-INSTANCE Server
I need to create single-instance(not single use) server, e.g. One instance of the server for all clients. The instance should contain data of all clients. I don't know to do it, the only possible way is to use persistable property, but it would be rather complicated. This server is used as a remote server. I am using VB6E.
All help is very welcome. TIA

Problem Binding To A Running Instance Of COM EXE Server Using GetObject()
Hi guys!
I am trying to bind to a running instance of a COM EXE Server application by using
This works at most of the places and many different machines. However, on one particular machine, I am unable to bind to the running instance using the above method. The problematic machine run exactly the same version of the application and OS as other machines. Reboot did not help.
I just get an error # 429.
"ActiveX Component cant create object"
OfCourse, I did register the application and walked through the REGISTRY and verified that its registered properly.
What can be the problem?
Parsing The List Recieved From The LIST Command On An FTP Server
I need to parse the list that is recieved from differnet servers. Now, the list is not always in the exactly same format, but always is in some kind of pattern.
This list is the directory information that you request. I need help in parsing it, into the different data it contains
I know of 2 main types of listing - UNIX-type and DOS-type.
The UNIX type is a more full, with serveral details like Owner, Group Permissions etc, while the DOS-type is like a scaled-down version of the UNIX type.
format of Unix Type
drwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 43 oct 18 1996 Directory number 1
-rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 43 oct 18 1996 This is file 1.txt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 43 oct 18 1996 This is file 2 .txt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 43 oct 18 1996 This can be file 3 etc.txt
format of DOS-type
10-18-96 11:10AM 43 This is file 1.txt
10-18-96 11:10AM 43 this is File 1.txt
10-18-96 11:10AM 43 this is File 2.txt
But also there are other variations to those types. If all the responses followed that style, that would be no problem.
The unix-type can sometimes be sent like this.
drwxrwxrwx 1 owner 43 oct 18 1996 Directory number 1
The dos-type can sometimes be also sent like this
07-13-03 09:12AM 20151 diablo.jpg
07-13-03 09:12AM 11927 dls.jpg
07-13-03 01:44AM <DIR> doc
07-13-03 08:50AM <DIR> docu
I developed a parsing routine that first determines if the list is Unix/DOs type.
First it parses the list into lines
This can be done by checking for a "d", "-", or "l" at the begining of the line.
But all the different types of responses are not easy to generalize. There is no responsible RFC for generalizing them, or making them standard. It just says that they must be in a "Human-Readable Form".
I've seen FTP clients that do parse almost all (I've yet to see any client that is not parsed by a tested client).
Does anyone know a good routine, or anything that might help me on my venture in parsing ? hehe
thanks a lots in forward!
any help, more than appreciated!
PS: Didnt put this in the Communications cause i dont tink it has anything to do with Winsock, cause i am not asking HOW TO recieve the LIST command.

SQL Server List Box
I'm a bit of a vb newbie (although have been programming asp and vba for years, so I have a bit of a clue.)
Anyway I've created a form which inputs a value, then sends it off to a url and reads the repsonse which is an xml document.
What I need to do now is populate a value in the form with the ressults of a query from my sql server. I've acheived this, but I only seem to be able to populate a text box and I want to populate a list box; how is this done??
I've just used the form designer and dragged the query off a dataenvironment to get my ressults on the form. Yet when I try the same code on a list box, nothing is shown.
Please help
SQl Server List
Is there way that we can get the Sql server list from VB.
Thankx in advance.
Networking Server List
I made a VB networking game that turned out great, but you have to know the IP of the computer running the server to play. I want to list all available servers - if the user running the server wants too.
I have a web site that has ftp ability which that portion I don't use... but I don't see how that would help since I can't run programs on the web server (Besides Perl and all that crap) Any person disconnecting abnormally would not update the server list...
Most people will not have a static IP...
I have dsl so mine changes...
I thought of using one of those dynamic dns places, but I don't want to spend money.
What if I used each new user connection to try and log onto each server, and if they can't, delete the server from the list???
but then I thought a person with a 300 baud modem could wipe out my server list...
Any ideas?
List Tables On A Server
Is there an easy way to list all the tables (say, in a listbox) within a particular Oracle server (named Server12)?
I tried this piece of code I found posted from loquin
Dim rsSchema As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
' Open the connection to your database.
Set rsSchema = New ADODB.Recordset
Set rsSchema = cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaTables)
Do While Not rsSchema.EOF
If rsSchema!Table_Type = "TABLE" Then
Debug.Print rscChema.Fields!Table_Name, rsSchema.Fields!Table_Type
End If
Set rsSchema = Nothing
but I get an error (Object variable or with block variable not set) on the line
Set rsSchema = cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaTables)
To be honest, I don't even understand what this code is supposed to be doing line-by-line. So, if anyone has a simple method for a simple (ignorant) newbie, it would be greatly appreciated!

SQL Server/Sproc List
(VB6, MS SQL Server 7.0)
I have a rather lengthy list of stored procedures for my database and have written a search program in VB6. I manually generate a single text file by selecting all the stored procedures and select Generate Script. Then I can search it.
Is there a way to automate the generation of this text file through VB or even better to get the text of a stored procedure? I am familiar with calling stored procedures and creating jobs and DTS packages, but the only way I can find in the help is to use the sqldmo.dll and I am not at all familar with that.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
No Dropdown List For Ms Sql Server?
Before, I have made tables using MS Access.. one is a list of 'bank' (PK bank code) and the other one is a list of 'transaction' (FK bank code).. MS Access shows a dropdown list (whenever I enter data directly to the table 'transaction') for the bank using the FK bank code..
Now the question is, Is MS SQL Server capable of doing that (drop-down list thingy)?

List Databases On A Server
Hey Guys,
Quick question. I'm writing a log on screen for my app at the moment which logs onto SQL servers and databases.

List Of Addresses In Domain From DNS Server?

when i get it setup i will just shell what printer they use, because all of our machines have drivers for the things, so they can setup all thier printers by themselves.

List Of Files From Remote FTP Server

List Files On Server With OCX Control
Is there a way to list files from server side with an ActiveX control?
I mean, technically, the control is executed locally, so if I use a dirlistbox, it will be client side, not server side.
What I need to do is a little file manager which would let you get and put files from/to a remote directory (like an FTP client, but put is http upload)..
I can do it with a standard ASP file, but I was looking for a way to do it in VB instead..
Let me know!

Server List -> Sent To Client *NOT COMM Question*
Hi All,
I've got this server that sends a string to the client (F.E.: "Administration Room|Admin|Chit Chat|Public|Misc|Public")
Is it possible to, only count the "square" (???) numbers (from the array) and add them to the listbox and if the Array(i), if i = Odd-number than not show the server in the list.
My Code:
Public Function SplitAllTheStuff(strToSplit As String)
Dim MyTempArray() As String
MyTempArray() = Split(strToSplit, "|")
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
For i = 0 to UBound(MyTempArray)
lstServers.AddItem MyArray(i)
Next i
End Function
I thought I could use the STEP function in my For - Next loop, but dont know how to use it
But I also need to save the MyTempArray() with the Ranks needed to log on , so if the Login Button was clicked it only allowed you if your rank is high enough:
Private Sub cmdLoginToServer_Click()
strRank = UCase$(frmLogin.Tag)
If MyTempArray((lstServers.ListIndex * 2) - 1) = strRank Then
Unload Me
End If
End Sub
I thought this should work, but it doesn't

Americans Still Reaching for the Salt Shaker
The 'Set Point' Idea
The new review supports the idea of the body having a ''set point'' for sodium, says McCarron. "Your salt intake is a value that is really set by the body and physiology," he tells WebMD.
While most people's sodium intake fluctuates -- one day a high-sodium restaurant meal, the next day more salads and fruits -- it evens out, he says.
The study, he says, suggests the high salt intake found in the U.S. population can't be the fault of the food industry, which has been working to reduce salt content.
Salt intake, he says, "is a physiologically set number."
However, he says, "That doesn't say that certain people shouldn't work very closely to achieve a lower salt intake. Number one would be [those with] cardiovascular disease, with hypertension. Not all with high blood pressure are salt sensitive. It would [also] include some patients with kidney disease."
But he disagrees with across-the-board recommendations to lower salt. "These blanket recommendations are not safe," he says.
Industry Perspective
Morton Satin, vice president of scientific research for the Salt Institute in Alexandria, Va., reviewed the report for WebMD.
In a blog he wrote in response to the study on his web site, he writes that "the sodium-hypertension link is not what it was quacked up to be!"
For most of the population, he tells WebMD, ''from a health point of view, there's no justification for cutting back on salt."
