We are using MS CRM 3.0...
We had to add one custom report (made in VS 2003 Business intelligence project).
We have added via Reports --> New --> then Selected contract.Rdl (it was contract report) --> selected other relevant fields --> pressed Save and Closed.
Now reports works fine on this server...when we asked other user to check this reports from their system..
Surprisingly all the reports for other users stopped working...Whenever user clicks on report tab --we get MS error dialog saying --
"An error has occurred. for more information, contact your system administrator.
Try Again or Cancel"
Can anybody help what's going on in CRM 3.0 over here?

JS Builder crashes building latest yui-ext code from svn
Trying to build either yui-ext or the resources after latest SVN update (ver 95). Crashing with message "Name cannot begin with the '<' character, hexadecimal value 0x3c. Line 2, position 2"
Looks like it's occurring in the Project.Load() method.Tim Ryan

Are you using Jack's .jsb project files or your own? I can build the current dev files using the .jsb project files in SVN by just double-clicking on the .jsb and building it.
If you are using a custom .jsb file, please post it here and I'll take a look.

I thought I was using Jack's but it looks like SVN is doing something wierd when it sees a modified version and tries to update. I told it to resolve the conflict, but it looks like it still leaves junk in the file. I killed the jsbs and pulled fresh copies and it's OK.

Are you using Tortoise or something else to merge? Just curious as I haven't tried merging jsb files myself, but if there are any conflicts in general, Tortoise should prompt you to resolve them manually if they can't be auto-resolved:
If you get any conflicts during an update (this can happen if others changed the same lines in the same file as you did and those changes don't match) then the dialog shows those conflicts in red. You can double click on these lines to start the external merge tool to resolve the conflicts.
28 Dec 2006 1:14 PM #5
It's Tortoise. When it detects a conflict, it looks like it renames the file with '.mine' then pulls down the current version. My thought was that when you tell it a confict is resolved it considers current version correct - however it must be leaving diffs. I'll have take a look at the doc and see what the right process is do deal with this.Tim Ryan

You're almost there
SVN is great for that. You monkeyed with a file and then did SVN Update and that same file had changes committed while your working copy did not. Hence the .mine, the revision minus your changes, and the latest revision showing up. You can edit the file and remove any conflicts without much problem, choose the one you want, and then SVN Mark Resolved, and like magic... all files disappear except the one you want. Isn't that sweet. It's not Tortoise so much as all SVN clients. They do that.
29 Dec 2006 7:42 PM #7
I faced the same problem. Is there a way to externalize the changes to output path etc that the user makes? Maybe write to a proj.properties file in the install working dir?
For example I changed the output path to the one I wanated but on SVN update, I have to manually redo all my path settings.
<project path="" name="yui-ext" author="Jack Slocum" version="0.40" .. output="C:\apache2\htdocs\deploy\yui-ext.0.40\" >
29 Dec 2006 7:53 PM #8
Also "recent projects" in the file menu will be nice.
30 Dec 2006 7:20 AM #9
Well, regarding overwriting the output paths, etc. everyone who uses Jack's project files will have that issue (including me). It's sort of difficult to keep that separate is it really is part of the "project" -- you can't really define build targets separately from the path that they are built to. Even if they were separate, if Jack added or removed a build target, then the external mapping to the paths would still break. I think as long as you're using Jack's jsb files instead of maintaining your own, that's just something you'll have to live with.
A "recent projects" menu item is a good idea and something I've been meaning to add. I'll add it to the list -- thanks.

Would it atleast be possbile to move all the variables in a separate xml tag in the project file. That way we don't have to make selective merges within lines in the proejct file.

Rutgers School of Law–Newark Professor Gary Francione, who was the first to teach animal rights theory at a U.S. university, discussed the abolitionist approach to animal rights on "Breaking the Set," an internationally syndicated program on RT TV.
The extensive interview, which starts about two minutes into the show, is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfyvnqL3fX8&fb_source=message.
Host Abby Martin began the segment declaring that since Francione began teaching animal rights more than 20 years ago, he "has been changing the conversation about sentient creatures." The conversation that Francione encourages focuses not on treatment but on use. "The fundamental moral question," he said, "is can we justify using animals at all, however humanely."
When asked by Martin about cognitive differences between animals and humans, he said: "Cognitive differences matter in certain respects . . . but when you ask the question 'Can you justify treating a sentient being exclusively as a resource?' . . . cognitive differences are irrelevant."
Professor Francione decried the position of animal welfare groups such as PETA "that killing an animal painlessly is not harming an animal." As for recent outrage over video evidence of abuse at a Wisconsin dairy farm, he said: "The bottom line is that even if the dairy farm were working perfectly well and there were no abuses, it would still be a horrific process."
Professor Francione expressed optimism in the future of the animal abolitionist movement as more people become aware of the ecological and environmental costs of animal agriculture and in the humans rights issues as well. "We're feeding huge amounts of grain to animals that we're going to slaughter that," he said, "if we took that grain, we could basically feed the world."
The RT network, with three global news channels broadcasting in English, Spanish and Arabic, reaches more than 644 million people in over 100 countries.

I think on the subject of certain names garnering more attention that others it's not a matter of clique, or fakery, persay. It's more so that most nameberry users aren't just soon-to-be mothers searching for a name for their little Jimmy or Lily, they're mostly people who are in love, or obsessed with names, and therefore have a more imaginative or passionate way of looking at names and putting them together.
They won't be as interested in the everyday commonplace names that aren't as dynamic as some other names. Also, most people irl aren't as interested in names at all. I mean, I just asked my 19 year old boyfriend what he'd name his son or daughter and he picked Michael and Sarah. Whereas I, a 20 year old obsessed name lover would choose something like Alessandra, and possibly Eden for a boy. He laughed at the name Michaelanglo, whereas I gush over it.
I wouldn't go to the people I know personally to discuss my love for Eden on a boy, or Caspian, or Kol, or even Alessandra on a daughter, but I'd come here in a heartbeat.
I think when you look at it in that perspective, certain posts don't seem so fake anymore.Nathaniel . Eden | Alessandra . Noel

What more can you say about the classic names? The wording is definitely important:
'What do you think of John?' will get you 5 responses
'I like John but worry that it's too stale and boring. Is John dated? Do you find it boring?' will get you at least 3 pages about the beauty of John.
I like the more 'out of the box' names so I'm more likely to respond to those threads. I especially try to respond to the really out there posts because I know the OP will get lambasted. In general Nameberry is quite conservative and biased (in regards to unisex names). Out there names get lots of responses but remember that a good number of them are negative. Would you rather a handful of kind words or a truckload of 'It's terrible', 'Your child will hate you', 'He will be teased', and etc?

John or Jane in order for it to be different, but as someone else has mentioned....Faerydae....seriously? And yes, that "name" has been mentioned, along with others such as Firefly, Rapunzel, Happy and other over the top ridiculous names. You can be "unique" without going over the deep end, and one should be given more than a couple responses without having to be pregnant or have a wild taste in names.

Why did Hashem make animals like the pig, camel, etc. that have one exact character trait of kosher animals and then write in the Torah that they aren't kosher? If He's trying to trick us, shouldn't He have not written about them in the Torah?
Sign up

Sometimes a camel is perhaps just a camel? The trait that matches a kosher animal might be just the trait that allows the beast to live and thrive in the environment to which it is adapted. Sure, there's the midrash of the pig trying to disguise its non-kosher status, but that's metaphor, not theology. There are many animals in creation that live in places wildly inaccessible to humans. Should we think that they were designed specifically to trick, teach, or otherwise entertain us?
Quotation of the whirlwind from Job seems apposite here: who are we to assume that we can figure out why nature is as it is?
Vayikra Rabbah 13:5 mentions that each of the 4 non kosher animals that have 1 of the Simanim, are similar to one of the nations that has enslaved us. Babylonia, Persia/Media, the Greeks and the Romans I do not remember which one relates to which Galus, however I will try to add it in after Yom Tov, unless someone beats me to it.
Regarding the question of tricking us, that is the exact reason it is written in the Torah, this way we will not make a mistake and know that they are not Kosher even though they exhibit one of the Simanim.
I guess in A mussar type approach of answer, we as Humans are like that we do Miotzvos and we have certain sins ,The Medrash uses theses animals as a comparison to nations like Edom being a pig in that it shows off its Kosher symbol but is really Unkosher, I guess what I am saying Hashem might be reflecting our Nature in Nature for us to reflect upon and illustrating how little sense it makes

I have just received my new EZ-leveler II.
Forgive my ignorance but I simply can't figure how to use it.
Where does it get fixed exactly??
I believe the bottom plate screws into my tripod head, but how on earth is the upper plate fixed to the NN (I have NN5)?
Is it possible to install it between the tripod and the tripod head?? (I have a GITZO GT1530 and a G2771M head).
Also I can't figure out either the use of those little nobs which are supposed to set the detent interval. Although on the top plate of the leveler is written Rotator D3L, nothing rotates!
I think I must be missing something here
Note that a simple user manual would be very useful when supplying this small but not that obvious piece of equipment.
Please help.
Many thanks

Breaking changes regarding Code Editing [Build > 298]
Thank you everyone for providing tons of feedback and bug reports over the last 30 days as we've run our beta program.
Due to feedback, we will be making some changes that may break existing projects and wanted to inform you of them as soon as possible.
Many of you have requested that code editing be easier and that you be able to co-exist with other editors such as Eclipse, TextMate, etc.
In Designer 1.0, we split the view and store implementation files into two. One was the .ui. or .base. file and was completely *owned* by Designer. Any changes you made to this file outside of designer would constantly be overwritten each time you exported. These files were considered "writealways" or "generated" files. We then advocated that you put any implementation/event bindings/new functions in the implementation file and that you as a user would completely own that file. You could use whatever editor you chose. We would only "writeonce" to that file.
In Designer 2.0, (build 298 and earlier) we continued the split into two files. Because Designer 2.0 has a code editor, we would allow you to edit specific blocks of code for a function or basic event binding. We continued to put all of the standard UI/base stuff in the ui or base classes and the implementation/event bindings in the implementation files. We were attempting to parse out the implementation files and reflect out the changes you made. We would write to both the ui/base files and the implementation files everytime you saved your project. This worked well when changes were made while designer was NOT running but did not work well when you had both Designer and your text editor of choice open.
We were following the same practices as to where the types of code should live from Designer 1.0 but really needed to adapt our approach in regard to "writealways" vs "writeonce".
The new approach will be as follows:
We've made additional changes since this was originally posted. For further details look here:
All classes (views, stores, models, and controllers) created in designer will follow the approach of generating two classes. The base class will be given the namespace of .gen. to indicate that it is generated code and will always be overwritten. The parent class that you actually use will be named exactly as you specify.
The files with .gen. will be owned completely by the designer. All code which you put in via the designer for a Basic Function, event binding or controller action will go here. These files are "writealways" and any external changes will be overwritten. The drop down at the top has changed from "UI or Base Class" to "Generated Class".
The implementation files will be "writeonce". We will generate an implementation class that extends from the generated class that you can do whatever you would like with. If you want to edit this in an external editor go ahead, we won't touch it again. Many of you have also given us the feedback that you like being able to develop your entire applications within the designer and not having to switch to a text editor. To cater to you individuals, we will be giving you a raw code editor to edit the implementation file from within the Designer.
In general most tasks should be able to be completed through the generated code entirely and you should infrequently have to dip into the advanced mode of editing Implementation files directly.
By giving users the ability to edit the implementation file directly, we are allowing you to do all sorts of bad things to yourself. Change the subclass name incorrectly, add syntax errors, etc etc. We are looking at how to synchronize between the configuration and the file for the few configurations that are there. (Currently just userAlias and userClassName). Because of the many issues this raises this feature may be turned off by default and only enabled via preferences to avoid accidents from occurring.

Congratulations team! I'm very happy with this point of view!
Thanks for continuing using the "writeonce" and "writealways" concept.

Tested and aproved the new concept of implementation classes.
Guys, now the next step for the goal is add more features to the Sencha Designer editor. It would be niceeeeeee
But, again, amazing work!Wemerson Januario

Could you please clarify a bit further what you mean by "may break existing projects"? Due to a bug in 1.2 I've actually had to start using the 2.0.0 beta1 to continue development on a rather complicated form that kept crashing 1.2, so I'm now committed to the new program irrevocably. I realise that you can't support people that knowingly use a beta like this, but what will this mean? Some files might be renamed to a new format (.gen) but essentially will retain the UI code within them, and perhaps new implementation classes will be genereated (into which I could copy my old implementation code)? If so, then I'll adapt and I'm sure I'll cope. If, however, existing projects can't be opened in the new build and it's a fresh slate from then on, then I guess I'm screwed :-)
By the way, where do I download the latest builds? I'm still on 268 and the download I used yesterday (for Windows) still gave me 268.
As for the code editor, I could probably get RSI typing up what I'd like to see, but here are the few features I don't think I could live without:
- Ability to move current/selected line/s up and down via Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down
- Collapsible regions of code so that class methods I'm not working on can be shrunk thereby making scrolling up/down through the implementation quicker and easier (& having these collapsed regions remembered between sessions)
- Some kind of class inspector that shows the properties and methods for the current class, allowing you to double-click to jump to them
- Ability to Ctrl+Click on a method name to jump to that method
- Refactoring of method names, variables, etc
- Search/replace that also highlights (at once) all matches so you can scroll through and see at a glance all occurances
- Code templates/snippets ability so commonly-typed things can be inserted after a combination of letters is typed by the developer
- Ability to customise the text font, size, and colours
- I haven't used Designer to type code yet but I can see that I wouldn't cope having a two-click process to switch between UI Class and Implementation. That grey strip at the top could easily have three left-aligned buttons (tabs?) so that this becomes an easy one-click step. That vertical white strip to switch between UI and code is a waste of space, too, and these two functions could each be in that horizontal grey strip (again, as separate buttons).
- The toolbox could take up less width, too. Perhaps those grey category links could be in a strip at the top as buttons, without text, with Button/Grid/Chart/etc small icons that are easily distinguishable to allow switching categories? I also went looking for buttons in the form category. A category called "Buttons" with just 4 items seems unecessary (to me, at least). Or perhaps the toolbox could use an accordian layout if there weren't too many categories and each accordion header wasn't too chunky?
Sorry if I'm being too demanding... some of us can be an ungrateful lot :-) But I do prefer 2.0 over 1.2 already so I can see the improvements so far have been worthwhile.

Thanks for the update. I totally support you making this breaking change to Designer. I think you've got a great compromise by having one file totally owned by the framework and the other one that we (the developer running the designer) has complete control of after it is generated by the framework. Nice job!Peter Kellner

We've made some changes to what we're doing in this regard due to internal feedback.
We've flatten the dual class hierarchy into a single class. This allows us to be even more hands free of the user owned file. The user owned file is now an override as opposed to a subclass.
This file would be completely owned by the designer:
Ext.define('MyApp.view.MyPanel', { extend: 'Ext.panel.Panel', alias: 'widget.mypanel', height: 250, width: 400, title: 'My Panel', initComponent: function() { var me = this; me.callParent(arguments); }, myMethod: function() { return { test: 'abc' }; } });
Ext.define('MyApp.view.override.MyPanel', { override: 'MyApp.view.MyPanel', title: 'changed it', myMethod: function() { var o = this.callOverridden(arguments); o.foo = true; return o; } });Aaron Conran

STEUBENVILLE - City Police will be collaborating with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department and the Ohio State Highway Patrol to beef up a law enforcement presence following three unrelated shootings in the past two weeks.
City Manager Cathy Davison said Thursday afternoon the highway patrol and the sheriff deputies will patrol the main thoroughfares, while City Police will spend more time in the neighborhoods.
We already have a very good relationship with both agencies but this additional collaboration will be fantastic. It gives us a greater law enforcement presence in the city and sends a strong message to criminals," said Davison.
"I have been in touch with the governor's office and talked to state Rep. Jack Cera (D-Bellaire) this morning and will be talking to state Sen. Lou Gentile (D-Steubenville) on Monday on how we can combat violent crime. If we don't get these violent incidents under control it will be a tough summer," said Davison.
The recent outburst of violent crimes started April 16 when an altercation that started at a Mingo Junction bar ended with a man shot at Lincoln and Tweed avenues.
Zachary Willis, 33 of 1175 county Road 28, Steubenville, remains in a Pittsburgh hospital today after he was shot.
Three men were arrested in connection to that incident.
Two days later a Chicago man was killed and his cousin was wounded during a Friday afternoon shooting on Pittsburgh Street.
Three Chicago men were arrested and are waiting extradition to Steubenville.
One day later an 18-year old Steubenville man was arrested after he allegedly robbed a woman at gunpoint and then exchanged gunfire with responding police officers.
"We reached a turning point in our collaborative crackdown on criminal activity last year when we started meeting on a regular basis with the Jefferson Metropolitan Housing Authority. The JMHA is taking a very active eviction approach to any criminal activity involving their tenants and we are sharing information with each other," said Davison.
"We don't want any criminal activity in our city and we intend to step up our police activities to fight crime. The police department is currently preparing to add another officer to their department. And our police chief and department are always looking at ways to be more efficient," she said.
Davison said she is not sure if traffic surveillance cameras are the right answer at this point in time.
"Right now there is a bill in the Ohio House of Representatives to outlaw traffic cameras.While I don't agree with purchasing a traffic camera system at this time because of the pending legislation under consideration in Columbus, I will do what City Council members want to do," said Davison.

As the 1980's approached, the name Jennifer was largely used in the U.S., Jenny, Jen, Jenni, etc were born. Because all these names were too boring, names like Nifer and Jenne were created to show appreciation to those Jennifer's that are like no other. Also means "sexy beast".
Wow! Look at that Jenne!

George Dillman claims to teach Ryukyu (Okinawan) Kempo Tomari-te. The theory here is that there were three villages teaching Kempo: Naha, Shuri, and Tomari. I have heard that Tomari really did not have its own form of Kempo, and George Dillman has simply used this but it is historically inaccurate. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Each style of Te (or Tii or Dii in the Okinawan language) is named for the region from which it originated; in this case, the Tomari village, which is in the greater Naha region.
Tomari-te is not just a predecessor of Dillman's Ryukyu Kempo, but of Shorinji-ryu, Motobu-ryu, Shorin(Matsubayashi)-ryu and many others. Saying that Dillman teaches Tomari-te is a bit like saying that I teach Iga-ryu Ninjutsu – Some of the techniques in the Bujinkan may derive from the older ryuha but I was never trained explicitly in that. By that same token, Dillman's instruction traces back to Tomari-te by way of (from what I can determine):
(Teruya Kishin & Sokyu Karyu) -> Matsumora Kousaku -> (Motobu Choki & Kyan Chotoku) -> Shimabuku Tatsuo -> Harry G. Smith -> George Dillman
In all fairness, before he got all into the Dim Mak / Kyushojutsu stuff, Dillman was a [fairly respectable martial artist(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Dillman) [NB: Labeling someone as a fantasist seems to be pretty non-NPOV for wikipedia]. As far as I can determine, Dillman had no direct training in Tomari-te, and uses the name as a means of promoting his brand of kempo as something older.
Dillman aside, Tomari-te is acknowledged as a root of Isshin-ryu, and is noted as a root of Motobu-ryu in McCarthy, Patrick and Yuriko (2002). "Motobu Teacher/Student Lineage Chart". Motobu Choki: Karate, My Art. Australia: International Ryukyu Karate Research Group. p.118.[aka Watashi no Karate-jutsu].
By all accounts that I've read, Tomari-te was indeed a distinct style, but over time (and proximity to Shuri) largely blended with the more popular Shuri-te.

Pulling Photos From the Ruins
Conference House Park on the southern tip of Staten Island has been a favorite spot for 17-year-old Amanda Casella to snap photos. The day after Sandy, she ventured out to the park with her camera to document the destruction of the storm.
She found photographic evidence of Sandy's toll scattered at her feet. The scenic waterfront was littered with other people's pictures—treasured mementos of her neighbors' lives washed away in the storm.
Ms. Casella began sifting through the debris to save the snapshots, which she pinned to a board to dry. Her wall of lost photos shared a street corner with a food-distribution station, allowing passersby to look for missing memories.
After putting out a call for help on Facebook, FB -0.85 % Ms. Casella was joined in her mission by Lauren Sobota, 15. Soon, other neighbors began dropping off items to add to the collection.
"Everyone just knew us as the photo picture girls," said Ms. Sobota, who put up posters advertising their effort. "That's really one of the only things you can't replace—your pictures. You can replace furniture but you cannot replace pictures."
As the trove of rescued items grew, neighbors started spotting their photographs on the wall. "For people who've lost everything, it's something that they'll be able to keep. That's their memories," said Ms. Casella, a senior at Tottenville High School.
Hundreds of unclaimed photographs are now pinned onto boards housed in Ms. Casella's parents' garage, which was transformed into a shelter for the lost items when a post-storm nor'easter made the street corner too vulnerable. The two teenagers staff the repository after school and on weekends, sorting the photographs into piles of portraits, scenes and shots of people they think they know. They also have collections of holiday cards, a paintball trophy, wallets, sports memorabilia and an American Girl doll.
Michael Abruzzo, an electrician, returned to the hard-hit Tottenville neighborhood after the storm to find his home distributed in pieces around the block. The deck, pool and shed out back were all gone, but he managed to find his daughters' jewelry boxes containing their baptism earrings in the yard.
Friends and volunteers helped Mr. Abruzzo, 43, retrieve other remnants of his shattered home, including photographs they had spotted on Ms. Casella's board. Once she knew who the family was, she sorted through her collection and retrieved about 100 photographs, including an album of Mr. Abruzzo's children's first trip to Disneyland.
"This is life captured in time," he said. "I think pictures, if you're lucky enough to have them again, help bring back better times in your life that were before the tragedy."
Ms. Casella and Ms. Sobota returned to Conference House Park again last week, more than two weeks after the storm, to see if they could still find any storm-tossed keepsakes. It took just 10 minutes of climbing over splintered trees and ruined furniture before they picked out a tall "Welcome" sign, two photographs and a Halloween decoration.
"There were so many pictures scattered throughout the woods," Ms. Sobota said of the first few days after the storm. "It was so surreal that this happened so close to home."
The project has inadvertently given the teens a peek into some of the most intimate details of their neighbor's lives.
"There are a few things that I shouldn't have seen," said Ms. Casella. "Some of them are too intimate for the board. One of them, we actually knew the person so we put it in a pile of stuff that we found of theirs, didn't say anything, we just gave it back," she said with a laugh.
But for the most part, "I see people's memories. Their personal lives," she said, standing next to a board filled with portraits of holidays, family gatherings and weddings.
Her mother, Cathleen Casella, a retired police officer who has been volunteering after the storm, is proud of her daughter's efforts to reunite people with their photographs.
"She said, 'Mom, this is all some people got left. I knew it was a good thing but didn't realize how much of good things it was,' " recalled the elder Ms. Casella. "I think this has taught her how little things can mean the world to somebody."
The storm has left the digitally savvy teenager adamant that from now on, she will keep her pictures stored on her computer or tied together with rubber bands.
"I know never to put them in photo albums again," she said. "They get stuck and ruined if they get wet."
Of the lives pinned to her boards, Ms. Casella said, "I don't think you can ever get used to something like this."

Is there a way to keep separate Sent folders in Gmail for each of your custom SMTP servers?
I already use labels to differentiate them by the way, but 2 Sent Mail folders would be ideal.
Sort of.
You can create a filter that looks at the from: field and applies a specific label. You'd then need labels for each (sent-mail1, sent-mail2, etc.).
The messages will still end up in "Sent Mail" as well, of course.
I do something similar. I have filters to have all messages where a specific e-mail is in the from: or to: get a label for that address.
If you are stuck with just using labels you can go into Settings > Labels and hide the system Sent Mail label to avoid going there by mistake.

5 Classic Movies That Seemed Like Terrible Ideas At The Time
The thing about a huge pop-culture phenomenon is that it seems so obvious after the fact. It's impossible to imagine people not going wild for something like Star Wars. But at the time, when the checks were being written and not a single ticket had been sold? Yeah, it was a different story. In fact, a lot of the biggest hits in Hollywood history sounded absolutely ridiculous in concept.
So let's start with ...
#5. Star Wars
You are an executive at a movie studio. A young director is coming off a hugely successful movie about teens in 1960s America called Amerian Graffiti. For his next project, he wants more than 10 times that budget to shoot a huge special effects feature with the catchy title Adventures of Luke Starkiller, as Taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars. The original two-page treatment where he outlines the story begins, "This is the story of Mace Windy, a revered Jedi-bendu of Ophuchi, as related to us by C.J. Thorpe, padawaan learner to the famed Jedi."
Via Swfanon.wikia.com
"Oh, and he says 'motherfucker' a lot."
Do you write this man a huge check? Or do you call security?
It Seems Obvious Now ...
When it comes to blockbuster movie franchises, Star Wars feels like cheating. A simplistic story of good and evil told over the backdrop of the greatest special effects ever filmed and featuring a smirking Harrison Ford in his prime? Add in the fact that everything you saw on screen could be turned into a kick-ass toy or action figure and it seems like the Hollywood version of an infinite money cheat code. That's how it looks now.
George Lucas: Proof that you don't need the support of a giant studio to sell out.
But at the Time ...
Actually, even George Lucas didn't really want to make Star Wars. He wanted to give us a 1970s reboot of the 1930s sci-fi adventure series Flash Gordon. But the rights had already been purchased by Italian producer Dino De Laurentiis, so Lucas had to build his own version effectively from scratch. His own expensive, totally incoherent version.
"Underneath every stormtrooper's helmet is Dino De Laurentiis' head."
And what reason did anyone have to think that Lucas could make a world-changing fantasy blockbuster? The only thing remotely similar on his resume was 1971's THX 1138, a bleak, weird film that had been dismissed as incomprehensible by the studio and bombed at the box office. So imagine being the studio executives when this bearded guy brings in his 200-page script that, as we have pointed out before, was a confusing mish-mash of insanity. Even personal friends of Lucas admitted that they couldn't understand what the script was about.
Sure enough, the studio, Universal, passed, but 20th Century Fox stepped in and gave Lucas $8.5 million, maybe because they were afraid of what he might do otherwise.
If they'd have only known ...
So then Lucas flew off to shoot in Great Britain and Tunisia, while in the U.S. a team of untried special effects artists gathered to start making movie magic. After a year, that FX team had blown half their budget and had exactly three usable special effects shots to show for it. Lucas and some Fox executives dropped in on them to find out what the hell was going on and found the crew standing around, having a refrigerator lifted and dropped on the concrete in front of them because "everyone kinda wondered how it would sound."
And that's where the Death Star explosion came from.
Things weren't going any better in Europe, where Lucas's British crew began to openly mock and rebel against him, taking breaks without permission and refusing to work the long hours they'd need to meet the deadline. The production soared over budget.
But once the actual movie was completed, everybody realized what a work of genius it was, right?
Nope. No theater chain wanted it -- the sci-fi fantasy was completely out of step with the sci-fi hits of the era (they were all dark, adult films like Soylent Green and Logan's Run). To avoid having to just sit on this expensive turkey, 20th Century Fox resorted to underhanded means to get it into theaters -- they told the theaters they couldn't have an upcoming hit (The Other Side of Midnight) unless they agreed to take this Star Wars turd along with it (a practice that is actually illegal).
Thus, Star Wars was booked into a whopping 39 theaters for its grand opening in the hopes that it would at least make a little bit of its money back. All but one of those theaters saw this weird sci-fi fantasy break their all-time attendance records. At the end of all that, the crazy bearded guy was right.
Via Daily Mail
That's a wedding, 30 years after the movie's release.
#4. Pirates of the Caribbean
The pitch had to have sounded something like this: "So, I know that literally every single pirate movie ever made has been a bomb. But this one will be based on a Disney ride. And it will star that weird guy from all of those Tim Burton movies. Oh, and I'll need $140 million."
"We're not sure if he's gay or not, but we think we can keep the audience guessing, too."
It Seems Obvious Now ...
The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise boasts four movies and over $3.6 billion in worldwide box office, plus billions more in DVD, merchandise and video games. And why not? The math is unbeatable: Disney, plus Jerry Bruckheimer, plus Johnny Depp hamming it up in his most famous role, plus monstrous special effects budgets. The only mystery here is why nobody thought of it before.
We know, you're rich. You can stop gloating now.
But at the Time ...
It had been thought of before. And each time, it was a disaster.
It started in 1986, when Roman Polanski did the huge-budget film Pirates. It cost $40 million to make, an absurd number in 1986 money (by comparison, the effects-heavy Star Trek IV that came out the same year cost only $21 million, and it was the most expensive Trek movie ever made). And what did they get for their $40 million investment? Less than $7 million in box office worldwide.
Walter Matthau couldn't quite make the leap from zany football coach to dashing pirate.
OK, so maybe that was an isolated incident. A decade later, Hollywood tried again with Cutthroat Island -- a pirate movie with a $100 million budget, directed by the guy who made Die Hard 2. It was an even bigger disaster -- it only made $10 million on its nine-figure investment. Even Steven Spielberg's Hook was a disappointment. So was Muppets Treasure Island, and it had the Muppets AND Tim Curry. Oh yeah, and also there was a little movie called Treasure Planet that was made and released just a year before PotC ... that was the biggest bomb in Disney's history. Holy shit! Pirates are freaking box office poison.
"Now that we've eaten all the studio's money, let's go shit it over there."
After all that, you have these nutjobs asking for $140 million to make another pirate movie. And the draw is, what, the freaking Disney World ride? Don't say that Johnny Depp was supposed to put asses in the seats -- his biggest box-office hit at the time he was cast was Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. His next biggest hit? Chocolat. Neither of which made as much as this pirate movie's proposed budget.
The whole thing plays out like Disney was trying to intentionally lose money for some complicated investment scheme, like in The Producers. When it made $46 million that first weekend, you can just imagine a couple of conniving producers screaming "Goddamnit!"
Yes, we KNOW, already!
#3. The Blair Witch Project
If you're a struggling actor, how desperate would you have to be to reply to a listing that goes something like:
"WANTED: A group of actors to spend eight cold days in the woods shooting a fake documentary. This is an independent project. There is no script. You will be traumatized and your reaction will be captured on camera. After the movie, you must avoid the public eye and we will tell people you are dead."
"Oh, no problem, dude. I was planning on doing that anyway."
Would you even expect to come back from that kind of project alive? It sounds like a snuff film intended to be sold on the streets of Thailand.
It Seems Obvious Now ...
Combining everything we hate about shaky-cam, viral marketing and reality shows, the no-budget The Blair Witch Project would make nearly $250 million worldwide. Or, to put it another way, it made back its budget 10,000 times over. The 25 grand they spent making the thing wouldn't even cover a month's worth of catering costs on most studio films.
And that's just for George Lucas. OOOOOH, BAM!
It did it all with a unique hook and an ingenious marketing plan, creating a viral Internet campaign back in 1999, when most studios were still trying to figure out what the Internet even was. They promoted the faux-documentary as a true story, indicating that all of the characters had been killed (actors were prevented from doing publicity until close to release to keep up the illusion). Their website was full of hidden clues and extra materials -- the template for the "alternate reality games" filmmakers like J.J. Abrams now do with every release.
"I'm sorry. I have a legitimate problem, and I'm seeking help."
The filmmakers clearly had a plan, and with so little invested, how could it fail?
But at the Time ...
Actually, The Blair Witch Project was about the most stupid thing writers/directors/producers Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick could have done.
"Jackass auditions were closed."
First, you have to realize that a studio didn't fund this. So when we talk about $25,000 being "no-budget," that's true if you're talking about Disney or Paramount. That's not true for a couple of dudes who had no careers to speak of. And that was the situation in October of 1997 -- the filmmakers behind Blair Witch were an unsuccessful pair in their late 20s and mid 30s, both deeply in credit card debt. So what did they do? They conceived of a highly experimental Hail Mary final project that would drive them tens of thousands of dollars deeper into debt. The project had literally no commercial prospects -- a no-name cast, no specials effects and no distribution lined up. The film was shot on hand-held cameras that weren't even in widescreen and that, by the way, caused motion sickness for the audience. For them, it was like trying to bail out a sinking boat by vomiting in it.
The same handprints were found in theaters after the movie finished.
But those two couldn't bring all the stupid to the table alone. They needed to find a cast of three alleged film students who would agree to go camping, in the cold, on camera, with little food and supplies (the filmmakers wanted their physical distress to look genuine). Needless to say, they didn't exactly get the cream of the crop here. One of the stars would be the recently recovered heroin addict Joshua Leonard. Oh, and he would be the one operating the camera. During the early scenes, he couldn't get the camera to focus properly and wrecked a lot of the footage. Later in the woods, he rolled down a hill and broke the $10,000 camera.
We guess they're lucky he didn't sell it for smack.
Again, this isn't studio equipment here. Imagine you're these two filmmakers, trying this never-before-tried filmmaking method out in the woods, and seeing $10,000 of money you don't have go tumbling down a hill. Now imagine that the two other actors fuck up just as often, managing to get lost despite having walkie-talkies, compasses and clear directions on where they were supposed to go for the next day's shoot. And along the way, they're arguing with each other so much that director Eduardo Sanchez estimated 10 hours of fits and bitchfests were shot.
Never mind the unlikelihood that this movie would become as big as it did: the real miracle was that there was any footage that survived to make into a movie in the first place. But they edited their piles of tape down to a brisk 90 minutes, hoping to get a deal to show it on cable or maybe direct-to-video. Instead, a studio bought the rights for $1.1 million, and in its first weekend of wide release, The Blair Witch Project made back 35 times that amount.

This may be a stupid question but I am having trouble getting the same result in CGS units as I would if I used SI units for a unitless calculation.
I have to calculate $E_c=\frac{m_e c\, \omega_c}{eB}$ I have in CGS units that $\frac{e}{m_ec}$ is $(1.76\times10^{7}s^{-1}G^{-1})$ and $B=10^{-4}G=10^{-8}T$ and $\omega_c$ is just some frequency. Essentially, when I do this calculation in SI units and in CGS units I get very different results. From this equation it seems clear to me that $\frac{e}{m_ec}$ in CGS and SI should only be off by a few factors of 10 (namely 4) since $B$ is scaled by $10^{-4}$ from CGS to SI, but this is not the case... What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Here are my calculations.
(i) CGS: $\frac{(1.52\times10^{18}s^{-1})}{(1.76\times10^7s^{-1}\,G^{-1})(3\times10^{-4}G)}$
(ii) SI: $\frac{(9.11\times10^{-31}\mathrm{kg})(3\times10^8\mathrm{m \, s^{-1}})(1.52\times10^{18}s^{-1})}{(1.6\times10^{-19}C)(3\times10^{-8}T)}$
Unless the value I'm using for $\frac{e}{m_ec}$ in CGS is wrong...

I am a second year physics undergrad, loooking to explore some areas of pure mathematics. A word that often pops up on the internet is algebraic geometry.
What is this algebraic geometry exactly? Please could you give a less technical answer to describe the what this field does and how?
I have done linear algebra, some group and representation theory, and some basic point set topology all from mathematical physics textbooks. Also, a brief overview of the prerequisites to study and do research in the field. I know that commutative algebra, and topology is used, but in exactly what way and how are they inter-connected? How exactly do you mix algebra with topology? Thanks!

Is the initialization vector used to encrypt a block of data always static or dynamic? If it is dynamic then I should send the IV along with the key to the recipient right? This normally doesn't happen.
In block cipher algorithms the IV is not secret. Only the key is secret. Most of the time an IV is just a block of random data and is sent along with the enciphered message to the recipient. Actually the IV can be considered as an algorithm parameter.
The IV is not actually used to encrypt the data. It's used as the -1 block in chaining modes.
In certain modes of block ciphers, e.g. CBC, the cipher feeds the output of the previously encrypted block, into the next block, usually by XORing it with the plaintext before encrypting the next block. This allows for additional diffusion, and prevents recognizing identical blocks of plain text.
But, what to do about that first block, where there is no "previous block" output that you can XOR with the first block?
And yes, the IV itself is not secret, and definitely need to transmit it along with the ciphertext. Don't forget, it's supposed to be random per use.
The IV is dynamic. It's supposed to be different for every message you encrypt. (For some modes, the IV might be random; for others, it might be predictable but different for each message.)
The recipient needs to know the IV to decrypt. Depending upon the crypto library you use, you might or might not need to send the IV explicitly to the recipient. When encrypting a message, many crypto libraries include the IV as part of the ciphertext. In this case, if you call the crypto library to encrypt your message and transmit the resulting ciphertext to the recipient, the recipient will already obtain the IV. So, you might be sending the IV to the recipient without realizing you're doing it, because the crypto library helpfully bundled it into the ciphertext for you, to make your life easier.
In CBC mode, this makes the resulting cipher text much more predictable and susceptible to a dictionary attack. If it used to encrypt multiple data streams, dictionary attacks are possible, given streams have a common beginning sequence.

Would you be interested in a movie theater "subscription"?
Just read about this earlier and I am definitely intrigued. Basically you pay a monthly subscription fee to MoviePass,and you get unlimited viewings of films at all participating theaters. I think its a great idea. What are your guys thoughts on it? Would a subscrition model get you to go attend more movies if the price is right? What would you be willing to pay for such a service?
Taken from the About Us section on their website:
MoviePass is a membership service that enables film enthusiasts across the country the ability to attend unlimited movies for a fixed monthly fee to encourage greater attendance at theaters. Users are able to enroll in the monthly service at www.moviepass.com. MoviePass is available nationwide as an invitation only limited private beta.

Personally, I used to work at a movie theater, and many people I know made management after it got bought by another company, so I still see movies free, but for other people this is great. When I worked there were plenty of people who were regulars and this would benefit them greatly. However, I can only assume that the theater has to make up the cost of those tickets back to the studios, so depending on how well this does, there could be an increase in the concession prices. Before everyone starts yelling, the concession stand is where the theater makes most of its money. Ticket sales are generally not set by the theater, and for the first 2-4 weeks of a movie, depending on the movie, the theater will get maybe 10% of the of the ticket if they are lucky.

-The startup has had trouble getting movie theaters on board. So it's going around them, with the launch of a new model for obtaining movie tickets. Instead of printing out and bringing vouchers to movie theaters, users participating in the MoviePass private beta will have access to a mobile app and prepaid debit cards for purchasing tickets as part of their subscription.
-Users pay an upfront subscription fee to MoviePass, which will let them watch basically as many movies as they want during the month. (There's a limit of one 2-D movie per day.)
-Average membership is $29.99
-Open up the MoviePass app. Users choose the movie they want to see, and automatically, funds are added to the MoviePass debit card, which they then use to purchase tickets, just like any other debit or credit card
I'd buy one. I love going to the movies.
It is intriguing, but not sure I would benefit that much.
The closest movie theater here is $8/movie. If the plan is $30, I would have to see 4 movies during that month to make it worth the cost and likely many more to make it an option.
i would probably be interested. movies around here are around $10-$11, so i could probably make the subscription worth it.
I work a 4/10 schedule with Fridays off, and we generally see a movie every Friday, but we go to the matinee, so I pay $6.25 or $6.50, depending on the theater, and my friend pays a bit less as a senior. So I am currently paying an average of about $25 a month to see all the movies I really have time for. If this were as simple as it sounded at first, it might be worth the extra $5 a month for the freedom to go in the evening or to see an extra movie on Saturday. My friend is retired, so it would probably be worthwhile for him as he could see a movie every day if there was anything of interest to him. But at present neither of us carries around an android phone, so using this system as you describe it would be problematic. I'd like to see theaters themselves put this together. I'd join an "all you can watch movie club" at my local theater if it was as easy as paying a monthly fee for an all-access pass.
Buying tickets at Costco is still cheaper than this for me. That being said it would get me in the theater more often if the price were to come down. I wonder if you are tied into a certain number of months? If you could choose wjat months you wanted then I would be much more interested. I can find 4 movies to see in August but probably not in February. Also the inclusion/exclusion of 3D and IMAX movies would be a big factor.
I'd be interested, but not at $29.99 a person, that would mean between me and my girlfriend we'd be paying $60 a month. And around here the local AMC has $5 tickets Monday - Thursday before 6, so the price would have to come down some before I would realistically consider it.
It looks like this may only be available as an iPhone app, which would unfortunately exclude me. They say they're working on Android, and if they do make that available I might be interested depending on the price in my market.
with several 10 and 12 -screen multiplexes nearby, it may be worth it for me, and I'm interested as soon as they release the android version. I'm sure I can find 4-5 movies per month I want to see.
Unfortunately for these guys, if it turns out to be successful, I foresee the theater chains releasing something similar on their own and circumventing this subscription.
It's definitely not for me. Everybody knows there are several-month stretches when the studios release almost nothing good (roughly Sep-Nov and Jan-April) because they save anything good for Christmas and the summer. Also, since there's no reason not to go to the theatre just to hang out I think we'd see even more problems with people texting, talking, etc during movies if this catches on. I think theatres are making the right call in not wanting to participate.
Also, the price is silly. $30 a month is $360 a year... for that price you could rent a Redbox movie every day and watch in the comfort of your own home with as many friends as you want.
@starblind: I enjoy the movie-going experience. Watching a DVD at home is, to me, no more comparable to seeing a movie at the theater than is dining at home versus dining at a restaurant. Both can be enjoyable, but they are quite different. I have thousands of DVDs and am building my blu-ray collection. I have a 65" TV and a Bose sound system. And I would still rather watch most movies at the theater. Our local theater is running classic films, we are planning to go see African Queen tomorrow evening. I've seen it on TV, but it's my first chance to see it in the theater.
a few years ago, i might have considered this... but now? nope. for one> hollywood is in a bad rut - there's maybe 2-3 movies a year that actually intrigue me. I'll watch more movies than that, certainly, but they're all mindless entertainment - not "must see"
Secondly, my home system is far and away better than the theaters here. the viewing experience is just more enjoyable at home now, with the added bonus of not having to deal with the fights and idiots that flock to movies here (again this might be more regional, but in nyc, going to a movie is pretty unbearable)
*edit - @moondrake - i get what you're saying, too... and felt the same way when i had the typical living room entertainment center. Having since created a dedicated home theater setup in it's own room, theater style seating, even bigger screen, and a mini pop corn machine - it's a pretty analogous experience. our group of friends will chip in for snacks and drinks to watch movies here instead of a theater lol.
@goatcrapp: If our theaters were as unpleasant as yours I'd probably feel the same way you do. But people are pretty well behaved here (safest large city in America). No fighting, loud talking is rare, talking on cell phones even rarer. I almost never hear a phone ring in the theater, people silence them as requested. About the rudest thing people do is check their phones, the bright light of the screen is very distracting. But if they see something they want to respond to they leave. People are good about leaving with crying babies as well. Maybe it's because we almost always go to Friday matinees, so the theater is only about 25% full, all adults; mostly soldiers, retirees, and people like me with odd schedules. The theaters are kept clean, the refreshments, while overpriced, are good. The staff is polite and helpful.
@moondrake: ha! everything they don't do there - happens here with regularity.. lol.
My wife used to joke that we'd go to see a fight, but a movie broke out.
I'm not sure if I'd want in on something like this. For me, a night at the movies has always been a rare thing due to the costs, but it's always been one of my favorite special things to do. The overall experience, no matter the movie, is what pulls me, but the price pushes me away even more.
$30 a month would be the same as me seeing 3 movies a month normally, which is usually too costly, except I would also get to watch many many more than just 3.
I'm torn.
Not for mainstream movies. There are plenty of options like that with all the film festivals in Seattle, though. :)
Not for me. I couldn't name the last movie I saw at a theater.
@afoob: The words "mobile app" were enough to tell me not to bother. Don't have a smart phone and probably won't for as long as my old dumb phone works. By the time it quits, I expect the movie-pass concept to be dead.
If anyone is interested in instant invites to MoviePass, post below. I have a few extra invites to send.

SAN DIEGO (December 28, 2012)--Glasco Martin ran for three touchdowns, Nick Florence threw for two scores and ran for another, and Baylor overwhelmed UCLA 49-26 in the Holiday Bowl on Thursday night.
Lache Seastrunk rushed 16 times for 138 yards and one score for Baylor, which outgained UCLA 494-362.
The Bears came in leading the nation in total offense with 578.8 yards per game.
Florence completed 10 of 13 passes for 188 yards, giving him 4,309 for the season to break Robert Griffin III's school season record of 4,293 set in 2011.
Baylor's defense came up big, too.
The Bears sacked Brett Hundley six times, including two by Chris McAllister, and shut down UCLA's career rushing leader Johnathan Franklin.
Franklin, who averaged 130.8 yards this season, gained 12 yards on his first carry of the game but was a non-factor after that, finishing with just 34 yards on 14 carries.
Baylor (8-5) won its final four games and five of six. UCLA (9-5) lost its final three.
Baylor was un-ranked coming into the game, UCLA was ranked 17.

Pro Tools gives me the option of 16 bit or 24 bit. Is there a reason I shouldn't just always use 24-bit sessions to get the highest quality sound?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 27 '14 at 15:02
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
Let me generally explain the use of bit resolutions.
24 bits is giving you a higher dynamic range: you can store audio information until a level of -144dB FS instead of -96dB FS in 16 bits. That is the quality improvement you get, so the precision in dynamic range improves. This is useful if your recorded material is too soft, and you want to increase the volume while keeping the information in the less significant bits (i.e. the soft passages of the music) intact.
Recording in 24 bits does have two major drawbacks: 1. The audio files consume 50% more disk space 2. If your master needs to be 16 bits (i.e. if you are mastering to an audio CD) you need to add dithering noise to your recording in order to mask away rounding errors when truncating the least significant 8 bits.
In general, if you have the disk space, it is reasonable to record in 24 bits, since the dithering options available today are very good and almost not audible to people.
There is one situation I can think of where 16 bits recording would be better: if you are going to record audio and you have no planning on increasing the volume at any point, so no faders > +0dB, no expanders, EQs, or anything else that can gain the signal. (Reverb is fine since it never increases the original signal strength). In this situation, using 24 bits has no additional value and you might as well save yourself the disk space and the dithering noise by recording directly on 16 bits.
the short answer:
no. record and edit at 24 bit when 16 or 24 are your options.
the longer answer:
there are a few exceptional cases where it may be worth considering
simply put, 16 bit is a holdback from last millenium if you are working on anything serious, and today's hardware is cheap.
the human ear is responsive to about 120dB of dynamic range at the right volume; that is equivalent to 20 bits.
your ADC and DAC convertors are likely to have a signal to noise ratio from 90 to 120 dB.
you will want to record live sources with ample headroom, to avoid clipping.
you will want to perform destructive editing. destructive editing at 16 bit can quickly introduce audible artifacts.
archival purposes.
altogether, that means you'll want to record at 24 bit to keep errors imperceptible (for practical purposes).
during mixing, playback, and processing, ProTools increases your audio file's samples to its native stream format (which varies by the PT software/hardware you use), this internal stream is better than 24 bits. this stream is truncated when passed to the D/A - either by PT, or by the DAC.
finally: i don't agree with Pelle - do not worry about dither. dither is a very good thing when used correctly.
Check your hardware... if you're not converting at 24-bit, then there's no point to a 24-bit session.
(Right? Or would it still be worthwhile for internal processing?)

The main problem my finished tracks have is a poor quality vocal sound. I generally try to apply a dynamic range compression filter first and then add some reverb/chorus as appropriate but I can never get results that are good enough. What do you suggest is the best way to treat a good, untouched vocal take?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 27 '14 at 15:04
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
Definitely EQ. if you're not using a super-high quality mic then there's going to be a need for frequency compensation, and a good bit of EQing can make even simply lightly-reverbed vocal tracks sit much nicer in your mix.
Also, don't drown your vocals in FX (unless that's the aim of the track, or you're using a vocoder ;) ). A good plate reverb, maybe a smidgen of delay (with automation to accentuate key words/sounds) and a little EQ will generally do the business.
What happened to dynamics?
Depending on the situation, I use the following:
EQ -> A little compression -> [monitor out for singer] -> Multiband compression aka de-esser -> compression -> reverb
Everything pre-fader except for the reverb.
The first compressor is just making things a bit more comfortable for the singer and really shouldn't do much. The de-esser is not always necessary, but some singers need it, especially when recorded with a large diaphragm condenser. It should not be set up to make a huge difference either. The last compressor actually does the 'real' job. :)
Compression, for me. Properly adjusted, will make your vocal more punchy giving a bit more impact to the song, as vocals are the most noticed things to listeners.
A very good sounding, easy and cheap compressor is in TB Ferox. Notice this will also bring up whatever is between the words, such as background noise.
If the voice is a bit muffled, you can try adding EQ above 15 kHz or such. It will sound more aggresive.
Generally, however, other FX won't help with a not so good voice recording. If you feel the voice can't be made to sound decent, you definitely need a better recorded sound, probably in the order: better mic > better preamp > better room (taking the actual singer's voice out of the equation).

Second Trimester To-Do List
Welcome to your second trimester! As you continue to adjust to pregnant life (and your growing belly), use this list for tips on what to check off during this phase, from buying a crib to planning your maternity leave.
1 of 11
Learn About Your Upcoming Tests and Appointments
At this stage, you'll likely be seeing your doctor every four weeks. Now is the time your doctor will perform routine tests, such as a glucose test to determine your risk for gestational diabetes. You may also be offered the option of genetic testing, such as a nuchal translucency screening, amniocentesis, or a new test called cell free fetal DNA testing to determine the risk of your child having a genetic or chromosomal disorder. Make sure you are prepared for each test and screening, so you know what it is your doctor is doing and can ask any questions you might have.
It's during this time that you will likely also have the option of finding out your baby's gender. Your 20 week appointment will come quickly, so sit down with your partner and decide if you want to find out the sex. Finding out before your little one arrives can help when deciding on a nursery theme and what to register for, but it's a personal decision that you and your partner should discuss together. If you decide to wait, these gender-predicting old wives' tales are a fun way to "predict" what you're having and will make playing the waiting game a little easier.

What is with words that have forms that end both in -zation and -sation, such as localization and localisation?
Many spell checkers recommend -zation.
What is with words that have forms that end both in -zation and -sation, such as localization and localisation?
Many spell checkers recommend -zation.
The "z" is American, the "s" is British. As an American I always use "z" for these words, and apparently many UK spellcheckers do not mark it as wrong and the Oxford English dictionary even gives "organization" as the first spelling, saying (also organisation).
Yet my (US English) Firefox marks the "organisation" variant as misspelled and suggests "organization".
My advice: unless you are writing under guidelines that suggest otherwise, use the "z" form for these words.
You often hear people say that -ize is American and -ise is British. While it is certainly true that -ise has become dominant in Britain, -ize is the older spelling, and it once was dominant everywhere. Americans have retained it, while the British have increasingly – since the mid-20th-century I think – favoured -ise. Why, I don't know.
Last time I checked, both the (British) Oxford and Collins dictionaries gave -ize as the first spelling.
I'm British and I always use the -ize spelling, not least because the letter z is so underused, but also because it more accurately indicates its pronunciation (and -ise is plain ugly).
In publishing, we usually call these -ize and -ise spellings. Some UK publishers prefer -ize, but -ise is the predominant UK style.
See Oxford spelling on Wikipedia. OED prefers -ize spellings.
The US requires -ize. The UK accepts both, but (with the OUP as the main exception) prefers -ise. And this is one of the few cases where "international" English follows the US convention. The ISO favours -ize spellings.
Inbuilt computer dictionaries set to UK English rarely support -ize. Feel free to overrule them.
That is because many spell checkers use American English.
Basically, z is used in North American English (American and Canadian), while s is used in British spellings. You can find explanations for this on the internet — like here, for example: http://www.studyenglishtoday.net/british-american-spelling.html
Which spelling you use, depends on who your audience is. If your writing is to be read mainly or only by speakers of American or Canadian English, use the North American spelling. If it is not, then use the British spelling.
The New Oxford American Dictionary reports both the words, and the spelling checker used from the Mac OS X (10.6) corrects me when I write organisation.
Considering that US English is set as first language (followed by British English), I would think that organization is the American English word (even though it is not reported by the New Oxford American Dictionary).

Community Right to Bid
What is the Community Right to Bid?
The Community Right to Bid came into force on 21st September 2012. It allows community groups to nominate assets which they consider to be of community value which, if agreed, will be held on a list maintained by the Council. If a listed asset later comes up for sale then community groups can place a bid to buy it.
The Community Right to Bid aims to provide community groups with a fair opportunity to bid for community buildings or facilities put up for sale that are important to them so that they can be kept in public use. This can include both public and private assets.
The Social Investment Business has launched the Community Ownership and Management of Assets grants programme which is available to organisations wanting to take up opportunities under the Community Right to Bid. Locality, a network for community-led organisations, offers advice and support on the Community Right to Bid and the funding available

Who elected
our president?
Barack Obama was re-elected president of the United States of America because the majority of "voters' wanted him to keep changing the 'future' of our country.
I know the actual process is as follows: The ballots are counted and added up and the candidate that has the majority of votes wins the Electoral College votes assigned to each state, according to their population. The political gurus announce the winner by colors:
Republican is red and Democrat is blue. Each state won by the Republican candidate is marked red. If the Democrat wins,that state is considered blue. The independent votes count but are diluted into those two colors. There are not white, green, purple, black or yellow states. Just red and blue.
That determines the Electoral College votes that finally decide who occupies our White House the following four years.
The Republican candidate Mitt Romney addressed a private group he considered his followers (evidently one was there who was not, probably a spy) when he mentioned that 47 percent of the electoral masses receiving perks from the government would probably vote for his political adversary, Barack Obama.
His opinions were immediately aired by the liberal news media with derogatory comments and full criticism from the Obama camp!
I personally do not believe that a 47 percent group voted for Obama as a block!
I wasn't to know what percentage of the 'legit' voters in those blue states stayed home for one reason or another and ignored the moral and patriotic obligation to cash their vote. I do not claim or believe all those absent voters would cast their votes against Obama but, I am convinced they are certainly who re-elected him.

My concern is about the security trace: is it possibile to trace the current user application name ?
Normally we connect application to SQL using a unique trusted connection (windows authentication), but we are interested to log all db changes along with the current logged (application) user; otherwise we know the db changes but not who made them.
Virtually every project that I've worked on has required full audit tracking as most of them are ecommerce or financial projects. Using an IsDeleted flag is the easiest and overall best way to go. Adding the field to an existing site and fully implementing it should take no more than a couple days. If it takes longer than that, you are doing something wrong. For tables that allow changes, we add the following fields at the end of the table:
[LastChangeBy] uniqueidentifier
[LastChangeDate] datetime
[IsDeleted] bit
For tables that do not allow changes (i.e. Payments), we add the following fields at the end of the table:
[CreatedBy] uniqueidentifier
[CreatedDate] datetime
This way we always know exactly who made what change, and when.
It would be nice to know how you would apply this to a real world scenario. Is this used only for auditing?
If every change is captured, and updates are captured twice, it may lead to huge change tables over a relatively short time.
Hey I have sql 2005 and I have created triggers and table CDC to capture the data. everything functions good and the data is being updated in the _CDC tables. all i need to do now is to generate the updated data as a report - what should I do ......?
i need to show only the updated columns
when user selects the date periods and the person name - i need to display any updated info about that person during that period.

WACO (February 21, 2013)--It took a 19th District Court jury just 15 minutes Wednesday to return two maximum sentences against a man jurors had just found guilty of continuous sexual abuse of a child and indecency with a child.
State District Judge Ralph Strother stacked the life sentence on the continuous sexual abuse charge and the 20-year sentence on the indecency charge, and then remanded Jose Antonio Garcia Martinez to custody.
Martinez, 44, virtually lost any possibility of parole after the judge ordered the consecutive terms.
The young victim, who was a friend of the Martinez family, testified during the trial that beginning in 2008, when she was 9-years-old, the abuse began and it continued until 2011.
Another relative testified she had seen Martinez sexually assault the victim at least once.
Then during presentation of punishment testimony both the original victim and her sister testified they had been assaulted.
