SQL Server is in the Cloud as Windows Azure SQL Database, but in the Cloud, still have some limitations that are not supported and here are some of them (short info):
SQL Server 2008 R2 features that are not supported by Azure SQL Database:
SQL Server 2008 features that are not supported by Azure SQL Database:
SQL Server 2005 features that are not supported by Azure SQL Database
Other features that are not supported as well:
For more information you can check here.
An error that is known how to solve it, I was the victim today with it and when I started the SSMS, I saw that error. I'm telling you here how to fix it as fast info and references from MS.
This error usually comes when your DB no longer exists or it is in suspect mode or has been detached or offline etc, and you will have the pop-up message with error description and the number 4064:
Ok, as you can see the user Blue cannot connect in the default database and the login failed!
Fixing this error is really easy, so you can try again to login with that user but first before to Connect, you must go to the Options that is in right corner below and you will be asked for the Connection Properties on the second tab of the login dialog box and you must enter the master database in the drop-down box, see the fig below and hit Connect:
Now you will be able to connect in your SQL Server. So what's next!? As I said, some of the reason why it happened are described above, so now you can check for the correct DB that must be as default DB of that user. After that to be sure for the next connection you need to change the default DB via T-SQL or GUI:
GUI: Open the SSMS on the right, you have object Explorer, go to Security > Logins > Find your login and right click > Properties. You will have the dialog box like shown in the fig below.
Or you can use the T-SQL script:
USE [master]
ALTER LOGIN [Blue] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[TESTING2];
For more info about this error, you can check here.
I'm so honored to be recognized as an MVP for SQL Server by Microsoft!
Thank you Microsoft and the SQL Server Community.
My journey was started more than 4/5 years ago and the first person that I have discussed lot and lot about my activities for my local community for the SQL Server was the Editor of the SQL Server Central – Steve Jones (Tweetiutiu) so, thank you Steve, encouraging me to start activities with my blog and other stuff that is related to the SQL Server!
Now, this award that really makes me happy and so honored to be part of the elite (MVP) technical people that I'm proud to be part of it, makes me to do more for my local community and also for the SQL Family in global community!
Once again I would like to say Congratulations to the new MVPs and all renewed MVPs as well!
All the best and Stay Tuned!

I'm very excited for the invitation to present at TechDays Albania 2012, which will be held on April 19, 2012 in Tirana. The event will be held on the perfect environment of the Tirana International Hotel. Well, for the first time we have only Albanian speakers except our guest Karl Davies Barrett. I will be honored to present Top 10 reason to Love SQL Server 2012 for Developers, where I will try to bring really ten things that are attractive for the developers in SQL Server 2012.
In parallel with the Tech Days Albania 2012, the Microsoft will organize also the IT Camp which is totally oriented to the Cloud Technology.
Agenda for the Tech Days Albania 2012:
What's New – Windows 8
It's Windows reimagined and reinvented from a solid core of Windows 7 speed and reliability. It's an all-new touch interface. It's a new Windows for new devices.
Windows Identity Foundation
The Windows Identity Foundation helps simplify user access for developers by externalizing user access from applications via claims and reducing development effort with pre-built security logic and integrated .NET tools.
10 reason to love SQL Server 2012 for the Developers
Microsoft SQL Server is a cloud-ready information platform that will help organizations unlock breakthrough insights across the organization and quickly build solutions to extend data across on-premises and public cloud, backed by mission critical confidence.
MVC 4 for Web Applications
ASP.NET MVC 4 is a framework for developing highly testable and maintainable Web applications by leveraging the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. The framework encourages developers to maintain a clear separation of concerns among the responsibilities of the application – the UI logic using the view, user-input handling using the controller, and the domain logic using the model.
Take a ride on the Metro Application Platform
What should you be doing to prepare for Windows 8, and to what extent will you have to revise your existing skill set? This session answers these questions and more as it takes you under the hood and demonstrates how to write Metro applications
What's New in Visual Studio 11
This section contains information about some of the important enhancements to Visual Studio 11 Beta
I will put the list of the speakers who will cover the agenda above:

Uh, at the risk of being petty
Big fucking deal that any of these people are finally talking straight about Bush's actual failures. It's great and everything that Biden can have a few minutes after the speech to talk about the paucity of troops, the lack of international support actually coming home to roost, etc. This kind of thoughtful skepticism cwould have been really useful last Fall. Oh, well… la la la.

CeBIT Open Source 2011 - Project Presentation EnlightenmentBy
During CeBIT 2011 open source projects such as Enlightenment, known for its Windowmanager, will have the opportunity to showcase what is currently in active development.
Short and sweet: How would you describe your project in one or two sentences?
Enlightenment produces some of the fastest and leanest software around for the kind of output it handles, especially with graphics. It primarily is known for its Windowmanager, but as such the vast majority of the nuts and bolts behind it are its libraries, known as EFL, that support many advanced features and rendering systems and range in use from Embedded (Mobile phones) all the way up to high end workstations.
When did the project begin?
Since 1997.
How many active members does the project have?
About 10 to 15
Why was the project created?
It started by simply trying to make X less ugly - back when the Linux/Unix X11desktop was dominated by FVWM, TWM and "gray beveled boxes". Much less powerfulsystems (like the Amiga) were perfectly able to have beautiful environments,and X on Unix was plain and ugly. This is before GNOME ever existed and KDE wasjust in its infancy. Since then Enlightenment has evolved with over 1 millionlines of code in SVN across multiple libraries and apps.
Why should a CeBIT visitor come to your booth?
To see in person how well Enlightenment and the Libraries can work and how goodthey can look if used properly. Especially at the moment EFL will interest people who make Gadgets and use Linux. In addition people can ask thedevelopers direct questions.
Who do you make your software for?
For the end user who likes to have things both beautiful AND have it the waythey like. So choice is important. We also write our libraries for developers who want to make beautiful interfaces easily and get the maximum performance onanything, from low-end ARM based phones, through to Smartphones, Tablets,Netbooks, PC's and Workstations.
Where do you see your biggest current challenges?
Too much work, too much complicated stuff, not enough people and time, and notenough showcase platforms to let people know just how good EFL really iscompared to its competition.
If you could hire a full-time project developer now, what problem should he or she be ready to solve?
We have so many nuts to crack. That's the biggest problem. Our libraries aresome of the best out there at what they do. They run rings around most competition—even the expensive closed source stuff. I don't think I could limit it to 1 Nut, so I'll make a very short list.
1) Complete the Windowmanager (e17) and move onto e18, 2) Better development tools for thelibraries (better Edje editing features in Editje, and a full GUI designer forElementary), and 3) Expand Edje features with more comprehensive LUA support Audio, Video and more.
The problem is all of these are, in and of themselves,entire projects and are far from "1 person does some work for a few months".They would take dozens of man-months in total. If i had to pick ONLY 1, I'd saythe GUI designer, as that will speed up development in the future.
Under which license is the software currently offered?
GPL, LGPL and BSD

The Protagonist
The Protagonist of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
- Badass Adorable: Less badass looking than Wes, but he's still pretty tough.
- Big Brother Instinct: Was instantly ready to protect Jovi from Zook's Shadow Zangoose. Luckily, before he became the victim of a Curb-Stomp Battle (Shadow Zangoose was 27+ while Eevee is still barely 12 at that point), the problem was taken care of for them.
- Book Ends: He is the second protagonist to don the snagging device, and the last person to use it and take it off at the end.
- Disappeared Dad: Although, unlike with the protagonists with missing dads in the main series, it's outright stated that he's passed away.
- Kid Hero: Though he's supposedly at least 13, given he's identified as "a lone teen" at one point. However, the reporter was probably just guessing.
- Heroic Mime: Like most Pokémon protagonists, he doesn't speak.
- The Southpaw: Like Wes, wears the portable Snag Machine on his left arm. However, when in battle with wild Pokémon, he throws Poké Balls using his right hand, hinting that he may be ambidexterous. However, it could also because there's no reason to use the Snag Machine against wild Pokémon.
- Vague Age: He's identified as a teen in one transmission, but on the other hand, in link battles he's shorter than the other game protagonists, who are supposed to be around 11 years old. Then again, being older does not necessarily equate to being taller.
Shadow Lugia
The ultimate Shadow Pokémon, and the first one created that is supposedly immune to purification. It is the key component in Cipher's plan for world domination.
- Breath Weapon: Shadow Blast, which is the Shadow version of normal Lugia's exclusive move, Aeroblast.
- Captured Super-Entity: As a Lugia that was corrupted by Cipher.
- Code Name: XD001.
- The Corruption: Even more so than the other Shadow Pokémon, since it's designed to be completely resistant to purification.
- Dark Is Evil: It has a dark color scheme and is truly a malevolent force.
- Empty Shell: Due to what Cipher did to it.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: When the characters in the game say that this Pokémon was designed to be impossible to purify, they mean it. The normal purification techniques won't do a thing. The only way to purify it is to make all of Purify Chamber's nine Sets reach maximum tempo.
- Musical Nod: Pokémon Colosseum's Recurring Riff shows up in its battle music.
- Obviously Evil: Unlike "regular" Shadow Pokémon, which are visually indistinguishable from normal Pokémon aside from a dark aura which is invisible to the naked eye, you can tell this one's corrupted just by looking at it.
- Psycho Strings: Its Battle Theme Music.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: It has glowing red eyes, unlike a normal Lugia, which has blue eyes.
- Secret Art: Shadow Blast.
The head of Cipher's Research and Development team. Acting like a stereotypical Valley Girl, Lovrina prefers Pokémon who look beautiful.
- Bad Boss: To the point that Professor Krane sympathizes his kidnapper, Naps, for having to put up with someone like her. The fact that Naps is also her brother makes it worse.
- Beware the Silly Ones: As revealed in your second battle with her, she's much, much more psychotic and evil than she lets on.
- Brother-Sister Team: Cipher Peon Naps (the one you snag your first Shadow Pokémon, Teddiursa, from) is her brother.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Upon defeating her in the post-game Orre Colosseum, she writes you a letter saying she likes you now and declares you the first member of her fan club.
- Ditzy Genius: She doesn't come across as very intelligent, but she isn't the head researcher for nothing.
- Faux Affably Evil: Oh sure, she seems fun to be with, but Lugia would disagree with you. Vehemently. Her peons can also vouch for the fact that when she doesn't get her way, she really stops being so pleasant toward people.
- Girlish Pigtails: And really large ones at that.
- Goggles Do Nothing: She wears a pair of goggles on her head but never actually uses them.
- Gradual Grinder: Her Orre Colosseum strategy revolves around Pokémon using moves like Toxic, Confuse Ray, Leech Seed, and Wrap.
- Hot Scientist: Yeah, this stereotypical Valley Girl is actually the head scientist.
- Karma Houdini: Let's hope she doesn't join some other evil team's science division....
- Mad Scientist: She created Shadow Lugia.
- Rapunzel Hair: It goes all the way down past her knees.
- Recurring Boss: She's first battled as the boss of the Cipher Lab near the beginning of the game, then comes back for a rematch near the beginning of Citadark Isle. She is also the final opponent of Orre Colosseum's first round.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: After being defeated at Citadark Isle, she flees the island, out of fear of Greevil being angry with her again.
- Sexy Walk: Not only do her hips swing from side to side when she walks, her hair does too.
- Thigh-High Boots: Though she averts the usual Super Trope by wearing Proper Tights with a Skirt instead.
- Valley Girl: She so talks like one, but it's a subversion, as she's also an Evil Genius.
- Verbal Tic: In line with her Valley Girl speech patterns, she so can't stop saying "so".
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Her hair is pink.
His ultimate goal is to become Governor of Orre through Cipher's schemes. Also, he's the Straw Loser for the Cipher Admins. His strategy in battle goes from attrition damage from Shadow Sky to spamming Explosion.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Upon defeating him post-game in Orre Colosseum, he writes you a letter saying that he'll be glad to make you his head secretary when he becomes governor.
- Evil Feels Good: In addition to revenge, his main reason for sticking with Cipher even after his criminal behavior is exposed.
- Girly Run: After you defeat him, he runs away like a wimp. Best of all, Marcia's cameraman filmed it, and you get to watch it as much as you want on the news later.
- Karma Houdini: He took over a whole city! How the hell is he allowed to go free?
- Multicolored Hair: It's white and purple.
- Never My Fault: Blames everyone but himself for what goes wrong with his plans, calling Lovrina and Gorigan "utterly useless".
- Olympus Mons: At Orre Colosseum, he has a Regirock and a Regice.
- Recurring Boss: First you battle him in the abandoned Phenac Stadium, then he rematches you near the end of Citadark Isle. He is also the final opponent of Orre Colosseum's second round.
- Sequential Boss: Before facing him for the first time, you need to take down an Elite Mook, and you don't get an opportunity to heal in between.
- Sleazy Politician: He wants to become the governor of Orre... and his political campaign involves kidnapping an entire city of people and replacing them with disguised Cipher members.
- Smug Snake: Has an extremely inflated sense of self-worth, to the point that he refers to his cohorts, Lovrina and Gorigan, as "utterly useless".
- Sissy Villain: He wears purple lipstick, has a melodramatic losing animation, and runs like a girl.
Gorigan is the Dumb Muscle in charge of guarding the Cipher Key Lair factory. Which he's not very good at. He's most well known for the Protect/Earthquake strategy.
- Animal Motifs: Gorillas. See his Primal Stance and his Screw This, I'm Outta Here! quote.
- The Brute: The Cipher Admin with an emphasis on brute force.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Again, after defeating him in the post-game Colosseum. He even uses the term "friendship" in his letter.
- Genius Bruiser: He's at least smart enough to run the Cipher Key Lair effectively.
- Karma Houdini: Like most admins, he isn't captured.
- Primal Stance: Even more so than Dakim.
- Recurring Boss: He's first battled as the boss of Cipher Key Lair, then returns for a rematch near the end of Citadark Isle. He is also the final opponent of Orre Colosseum's third round.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: After being defeated at Citadark Isle.Bleah! That was the very last chance Master Greevil gave me! How could I keep losing to some kid over and over? If there were a tree, I'd climb it to get away from all this!
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Of Dakim, right down to his Earthquake/Protect battle strategy.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Fears that he will be on the receiving end of this if he loses to Michael again.So, Master Greevil gave me this one last chance to redeem myself. But this is it! If I lose this one, there's no tomorrow!
The Hexagon Brothers
A group of dimwitted Cipher Peons that are Color-Coded for Your Convenience.
- Color-Coded Characters: Their main distinguishing feature is their differently-colored uniforms.
- Color-Coded Elements: Each brother's color (mostly) corresponds to their Pokémon type of choice.
- Resix: Fire
- Blusix: Water
- Browsix: He's the aversion. His color only relates to his Ground-Type Shadow Baltoy. After he loses it, he gets a Vigoroth, becoming a Normal-Type specialist, which is normally associated with light gray or white. However, Vigoroth later evolves into Slaking, which is brown.
- Yellosix: Electric
- Purpsix: Poison
- Greesix: Grass
- The Ditz: All of them. They're so incompetent, they can't even count how many of them there are. They all had the brilliant idea to disguise themselves as six identical copies of Justy, a well-known figure in Phenac that everyone knows there is only one of. At least they managed to get their sound-off right that time.
- Elite Mooks: They are more powerful than the other Cipher Peons you fight in the area, and they actually remember to Level Grind.
- Family Theme Naming: Their names are all portmanteaus of the color of their uniform and the word "six."
- Goldfish Poop Gang: Their introduction, in which they completely fail to count themselves twice, establishes them as this.
- Verbal Tic: Greesix can't go two sentences without saying "sixfold". It also spilled into his Pokémon team, having six Pokémon during your first battle with him. Oddly, he never replaces his Shadow Seedot.
ZookA minor member of Cipher with a big mouth, bad temper, and abilities to prove it.
- The Bully: He can and will hurt you if you mess with him, even something as simple as running into him.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: For one thing, Jovi ran smack into him by mistake and fell down. He was only mildly irritated at first, until he noticed she messed up his clothes...
- Perpetual Frowner: For the most part, it's just a frown, but he also has a really pissed-off glare.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: After he loses to Michael twice, he wisely decides to just run for it, away from Cipher in general and to escape Gorigan's punishment.
- Would Hurt a Child: Well, he was certainly willing to attack a little girl with his Shadow Zangoose, and Michael standing in the way was even better by his own admission.
Michael's little sister, who helps out with an errand early in the game.
- Annoying Younger Sibling: Has a habit of being a know-it-all and runs off because she is bored.
- Disappeared Dad: Same as Michael.
- It's All About Me: Pounded into you early in the game. When you go to pick her up from Dr. Kaminko's, Jovi assumes that you've gotten lost (and that you're lying if you deny it) and that she has to lead you home. And later, when you have to go to Gateon Port to pick up part of the purification machine, she claims that she's the one that was sent to do the job and that you're her assistant.
- Third-Person Person: One of her speaking habits.
Michael and Jovi's mother, who is a scientist at the Pokémon HQ Lab.
- Beehive Hairdo: Her hairstyle is some type of hybrid between this and Prim and Proper Bun which is larger than her head.
- Parents as People: Plays a bigger role in the game than most of the mothers in the main series.
- Pink Means Feminine: Her outfit is pink.
Professor Krane
A scientist at the Pokémon HQ Lab who worked with Michael's father on a way to purify Shadow Pokémon at a quicker pace.
- Badass Pacifist: He is completely unintimidated by Cipher and chews them out instead of acceding to their demands.
- Kidnapped Scientist: Gets abducted by Cipher early in the game. They want him to use his knowledge to help them with their Shadow Pokémon plan. However, he makes it clear that he has zero interest in doing so.
- Sympathy for the Devil: Sympathizes with Naps, the guy who kidnapped him, because Lovrina is his boss.
- Unlucky Childhood Friend: It is mentioned by an NPC that when Lily was still a student, she was very popular. Many tried to woo her, including Krane, but Michael's father obviously ended up with her.
Other Characters
Dr. Kaminko
An eccentric scientist who lives in the middle of a dark forest. Most of his inventions are either useless (i.e. the Poké Pole), harmful (i.e. the Unhealthy Sandals), or just plain stupid (i.e. The Power-Draining Lightbulb).
- Berserk Button: When one of his inventions doesn't work as intended. (He's well aware that they have no practical use, though.)
- Chekhov's Gun: His scrapped Robo Kyogre invention, which Michael later uses to reach Citadark Isle, making it one Kaminko's few inventions that's actually useful.
- Improbable Hairstyle: His hair seems to defy gravity.
- Opaque Nerd Glasses: With swirls on them.
Dr. Kaminko's assistant.
- Blind Without 'Em: His losing pose shows his glasses falling onto the ground and him blindly feeling around for them.
- Bumbling Sidekick: If him mistaking Michael for a burglar multiple times is anything to go by, he's kind of a moron.
- Karma Houdini: In the postgame, it turns out that Dr. Kaminko never actually intended for his troublemaking inventions to be put on the public market - that was something Chobin did behind his back. The Doctor is enraged once he figures this out. But since Chobin is out at the Orre Colosseum by this point, we never see him punished.
- Opaque Nerd Glasses: Just like Kaminko's, they have swirls on them.
- Third-Person Person: He always refers to himself as "Chobin" rather than "I" or "me."
Unmarked Spoilers
Mr. Verich/Greevil
A mysterious, wealthy old man accompanied everywhere by his bodyguards Ardos and Eldes. He's the mastermind of Cipher in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
- Beneath the Mask: Is much more malevolent that he initially appears.
- Big Bad: The leader of Cipher and the main antagonist of Pokémon XD.
- Cool Boat: The Luxo Cruiser, which is capable of withstanding the dangerous waves that surround Citadark Isle.
- Dark Reprise: Upon revealing his true identity, his theme is replaced with a more sinister version.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite all the evil he's done, he really does love his kids, even giving himself up because of his son Eldes.
- Eyes Always Shut: Until the final battle, when he opens them.
- Greater Scope Villain: Though he's never even mentioned in Colosseum, he's always been the true leader of Cipher. Colosseum's Big Bad was merely the boss of Cipher's Orre branch.
- HeelFace Turn: Performs one thanks to Eldes.
- The Man Behind the Man: He is this to the Big Bad of Colosseum, since he was merely the head of Cipher's Orre branch, while Greevil was the true leader.
- Miniature Senior Citizens: He's much smaller than his bodyguards, though he turns out to actually be a more powerful Pokémon trainer than them.
- Olympus Mons: He commands four Shadow legendaries.
- Pet the Dog: He actually gives himself in at the request of his son, Eldes, and even admits that everything he'd done was a mistake.
- Punny Name: His real name, Greevil. He is shown to be quite greedy and evil.
- Sequential Boss: First he sends Shadow Lugia after you. After snagging it, he battles you with his team of six Shadow Pokémon.
- Take Over the World: His ultimate goal was to take over the world using an army of unpurifiable Shadow Pokémon.
- Villain with Good Publicity: He's quite popular in Gateon Port, mostly because he gives out free food and drink at the Krabby Club whenever he comes there. Some people are a little suspicious of him, though.
- Walking Spoiler: Both he and his bodyguards had to be moved to a different folder because of this.
- Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: You get a good look before the final battle.
Ardos is one of Mr Verich's two bodyguards. He is first met at Gateon Port, where he curbstomps Zook with his level 44 Alakazam. At the end of the game he is revealed one of Greevil's sons. He goes Laughing Mad after Greevil's defeat and claims he'll restart the evil organization.
- Co-Dragons: He shares The Dragon role with his brother, Eldes.
- Color-Coded Characters: Wears the same outfit as Eldes, except his is blue instead of red.
- Defeat Means Friendship: The sole subversion....his post-game letter to you is a death threat!
- Dragon Ascendant: After Greevil surrenders, Ardos vows to one day rebuild Cipher, which will likely lead to this. We're waiting, Genius Sonority.
- Karma Houdini: He's still out there too.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: With Eldes. Oddly, Ardos is the Red Oni despite wearing blue.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Right before he takes off, his red eyes glow through his Cool Shades.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: When he defeats Zook in Gateon Port at the beginning of the game, his Alakazam is Level 44. When you fight him near the end of the game, that Alakazam is still Level 44.
- Villainous Rescue: He fights Zook for the player at the beginning of the game. According to him, he was simply trying to teach him a lesson about using Shadow Pokémon in public.
- We Have Reserves: He considers everyone in Cipher except himself, Greevil, and Eldes expendable. The only thing he has to say about his subordinates' lives is:Grand Master, such things can be replaced! We must ensure our own survival!
- Would Hurt a Child: Tries to convince Greevil to escape on helicopter and blow up Citadark Isle with Michael still on it, which would not only kill him but also any Cipher peons still stranded there.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: His hair is blue, much like his outfit.
Eldes is Mr. Verich's other bodyguard. Just like Ardos, he's one of Greevil's sons. However, unlike Ardos, he's not too enthusiastic about the whole "Cipher" thing. After Greevil's defeat, he pulls a HeelFace Turn and convinces Greevil to give up.
- Affably Evil: He is unfailingly polite to Michael. He even laments the pointlessness of their first battle, stating that he wished they fought in a different way.
- Anti-Villain: He looks down on Cipher's ambitions and is only working for them because his dad's the boss.
- Co-Dragons: He shares The Dragon role with his brother, Ardos.
- Color-Coded Characters: Wears the same outfit as Ardos, except his is red instead of blue.
- Friendly Rival: He's delighted when he sees that Michael is his Colosseum opponent.
- HeelFace Turn: He drew the line at Ardos suggesting that Greevil blow up Citadark Isle with Michael still on it, killing their own subordinates in the process.
- Olympus Mons: He has Latios and Latias on his Orre Colosseum team.
- Punch Clock Villain: Pretty much only in Cipher to help out daddy.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue Oni, despite wearing red.
- The Rival: Becomes one to Michael post-HeelFace Turn.
- Token Good Teammate: He's the only high-ranking Cipher member to express disdain for their actions.
- Worthy Opponent: He sees Michael as this, even before they battle.

VIDEO: Smith earns save, Angels sweep SeattleMay 15th, 2016, 4:25 pm by MARK CARLISLE
After going 0-6 on their last homestand, the Angels swept the Mariners in Seattle over the weekend, knocking them out of first place. The Angels also climbed out of last place to third place in the American League West.
Joe Smith capped the 3-0 victory with his fourth save in a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Hector Santiago threw eight innings for only the second time in his career. He allowed two hits and one walk with five punchouts in his best outing of the year.
Smith struck out the first two batters of the ninth inning, the first time this year he's had back-to-back punchouts. For the final out, he got Robinson Cano to ground out to second (video below).
Cano entered the series red hot, hitting .449 in the first 11 games of May. He went 2 for 13 (.154) against the Angels in the series.
This final out also snapped Cano's 13-game hit streak. He'd had a hit in every game in May until Sunday, when he went 0 for 3.Read the rest of this entry »

TUKATECH EXPANDS: In an effort to offer more space to small designers and apparel makers who need to use computer-aided design and manufacturing systems by the hour, Los Angeles-based Tukatech Inc. recently expanded its corporate headquarters by 10,000 square feet, to a total of 17,000. The new space, which opened in August, houses corporate offices, support staff and a "Tukacenter," where the company's customers can take instruction in the use of CAD/CAM systems and also rent systems on an hourly basis.

NEW JERSEY LACE: "The Cultural Lace/El Hilo Cultural," an exhibit on embroidery and lace manufactured in New Jersey, opened recently in a new gallery at the Park Performing Arts Center in Union City, N.J. The exhibit runs through May, with workshops and demonstrations scheduled throughout the fall. "This exhibit highlights not only the varied embellished and luxurious textiles stitched right here in New Jersey, it also portrays the people who created them," said Meriam Lobel, the curator of the exhibit. "While it still comes as a surprise to many people outside of this area, people who live in the North Hudson region of New Jersey know that this area has been a major center of the creation of commercial embroidery and lace for 120 years. Since the 1870s, when Swiss and German immigrants set up the heavy machinery that creates the finest lace, North Hudson has produced intricate stitching worn by people around the globe." In addition to the one-of-a-kind garments and home furnishings on display, the exhibit also features work by skilled embroiderers from many cultural backgrounds, including Asian, Indian, Czech, Cuban, Greek, Italian and Nigerian. Future workshops include a tour of an embroidery factory as well as a demonstration by a Hungarian embroiderer.

The Roundup
Nation World HQ
January 16 2015 07:30AM
Canucks will miss the playoffs, Kessel trade rumors, Flames slowing down, Oilers usual antics, Teemu the Dominator and more in this week's Roundup.
Nobody was better than the Dominator when he was at his best
Cam Lewis
January 14 2015 09:15AM
When Buffalo raised Dominik Hasek's number to the rafters on Tuesday night, it sparked a question regarding where he belongs on the list of greatest goaltenders of all time. While he doesn't have the same longevity or success that legendary goalies from the same era like Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur had, when he was at his best, nobody was better than Hasek. At his peak, he was the most dominant goalie ever to play the game. There's a reason he was called the Dominator — it certainly wasn't just a pun on his first name.
Monday Musings...

January 12 2015 03:31PM
It was another rollercoaster weekend for Oilers fans. You were on a high after Friday's convincing victory over Chicago, but the winning ride didn't last long after yesterday's loss to the Florida Panthers.
We are officially past the halfway point of the NHL season, with only the Rangers, Canucks, Panthers and Blue Jackets not playing 41 games, but we've seen 627 of 1230 games played.
Here are some thoughts on the first half and some expectations for the second.
Remembering Teemu as number 8 goes to the rafters
Cam Lewis
January 12 2015 08:30AM
In a game against the Jets on Sunday night, the Ducks raised Teemu Selanne's number 8 to the rafters at The Pond, permanently enshrining the greatest and most important player in the history of the franchise. In memory of Teemu's career, let's take a look back at just how incredible a player he was.
Vinny Lecavalier is being paid $1,030.29 an hour to play against the Lightning
Cam Lewis
January 10 2015 02:12PM
On Monday, the Tampa Bay Lightning are going to head to the Wells Fargo Centre to take on the Flyers, meaning Vinny Lecavalier is going to take on the team he once captained and won a Stanley Cup with before being bought out. Let's assume this is going to be a clean, quick game that's over by 10:00 pm ET. In those three hours, Tampa Bay is going to pay Lecavalier roughly $3,090.87 to play against them.

Authentic Early Old Country Farmhouse Large Bail Handled Pantry Box - Natural Attic Finish, Nice Condition
Fresh to the market, direct from an Illinois country farm auction, comes this fabulous and sturdy antique natural wood pantry box with attic finish and original bail handle.
This big, beautiful box measures 11 ½" in diameter at lid and stands just over 6 ¼" tall at the top of lid. The original bail handle is secure and the lid and bottom of the box are strong and secure. There is no looseness anywhere. There are a few thin age splits in the lid's rim but do not appear to affect the stability or integrity of the lid at all (see photos).
The seam has a row of small hand-wrought nails and the bottom of the box is secured with tiny wooden pegs. The box has a few honest areas of discoloration scattered here and there from age and use on the farm...but overall it is in fabulous, clean condition.
This is an outstanding example of a primitive pantry box from the heart of farm country and would look amazing in your collection, in a stack, or standing alone in a country cupboard. This is one that I'm really having a hard time letting go. A spectacular find!
Note: Quoted shipping price is a high estimate. If your shipping cost ends up being less than amount stated, I will gladly refund you the difference into your Paypal account, if you choose Paypal as your payment option.

The Fiscal Impact of Sales Tax Holidays
The sales tax holiday, a brief period of time during which state or local sales taxes are not levied on a set of goods has become politically popular over the past decade. Lawmakers' two chief policy aims in creating such a holiday are to reduce the tax burden on families with children and to stimulate the economy. Because tax holidays last for such a short period of time, lawmakers should be concerned that the response of purchases in the face of the lower tax rate is primarily a shifting of purchases that were already going to occur from one period to another instead of generating purchases that would otherwise not have occurred absent the lower tax rate. This generates some tension between the two policy goals. This paper investigates the effect of sales tax holidays onstage sales tax collections and estimates what portion of the revenue loss can be attributed to consumers' timing their purchases to take advantage of the transitory reduction in the state's sales tax base.

What kind of rifle?
If it's an AR, you are definitely in a bizarre shade of grey. If it's something like a hunting rifle, no big deal.
Either way your "friends" are acting like anything but.
Edit* I'm guessing since you posted up SB281 that you are talking about an AR or AK. Simplest solution would be have the "friends" drive to VA and give it to you. This may or may not be legal, IANAL. If they keep it unloaded, in a case, locked in the trunk it shouldn't be an issue to transport out of state.

Gay Weddings And California Coffers
If California resumed allowing same-sex couples to wed, it could pull in some $492 million in business spending over the next three years, an economics professor has found.
M.V. Lee Badgett, research director at the Williams Institute at UCLA, estimates about 37,000 gay couples in California would like to marry in the next three years. About 49,000 nonresident gay couples would marry in the state in the same timeframe, she says.
Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker effectively delayed the resumption of gay marriages in California until at least Aug. 18. The state briefly allowed gay marriages in 2008, but voters outlawed the practice late that year through a ballot measure. Earlier this month, Judge Walker overturned the ballot measure, but hasn't immediately allowed same-sex couples to wed.
The state, which currently has a budget deficit of $19.1 billion, has lost millions through not allowing gay marriage over the last two years, Badgett says. That's mostly because so many more states have started allowing it, attracting couples who might otherwise have gotten hitched in California.
Compared to the weddings of two people of the opposite sex, most gay weddings are less lavish, Badgett says. "Couples have been together a while, in many cases have had commitment ceremonies before," she says. Fairly often, "parents are not helping htem pay for it."
Nevertheless, she says in-state couples would spend an average of $7600 on their wedding celebrations. Out-of-state couples, who typically have smaller parties, would spend an average of $4300.
Badgett won't be one of them. She and her female partner got married in her backyard in Massachusetts five years ago.

Jury selection got underway Monday in the second trial for four men accused in the 2007 murder of a Topeka man.
21-year-old Kelvin Phillips , 23-year-old Drake Kettler, 19-year-old Corky Williams, and 19-year old Antonio Armstrong face charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree, and criminal possession of a firearm.
All are accused of entering a home on MacVicar in August 2007, cornering James Dyer Junior and shooting him to death.
The first trial ended in a hung jury.
Defense attorneys in the case argued the evidence was not credible, because the witnesses admitted to using crack cocaine.

ATLANTA (AP) - Federal authorities are investigating an inflamatory racist flyer containing a threat against Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama that was circulated in mailboxes of a suburban Atlanta subdivision.
An FBI spokesman said Friday that investigators "reported the matter to the U.S. Secret Service for further review and determination on handling." The Secret Service did not immediately return a call.
The flyer purportedly from "some of us KKK brothers," which surfaced this week in Clayton County south of Atlanta, contained derogatory references to blacks, Asians and homosexuals. It said if Obama won the election "we may have to get rid" of him and "in fact we will."

Talk about a tempest in a teapot! This ultra-chic, chrome tabletop cigar lighter by Alec Bradley uses butane fuel, and will burn up to 2 hours depending on usage. Lights easily with the push of a button. Flame height is adjusted by turning the dial like a hurricane lamp. Makes a hot gift idea, too!
The Big Beautiful Flame is Awesome! Every man cave should have one.31
This lighter is badass! Lights any cigar you put in its way with ease. Looks great and honestly a lot of fun to have! If you are looking for a solid lighter that wont let you down this would be a great one to buy.31
Got my lighter and tried it out and it works great20
I've had mine for a couple of years now. The igniter failed within the few couple of months and they offered to replace it, but I've just learned to light it with another lighter and then enjoy the great toasty flame it puts out. Even without the igniter, this beats my other non-working torches!20

For the Lady Rebels, Rianna Gayheart, Hannah Neeley and Samantha Toole were each named to the team. Gayheart, a junior, is averaging 16 points and three rebounds a game. Neeley, a sophomore, is averaging 12 points and three rebounds a contest. Toole, a senior, is contributing with seven points and six boards a game.
Another week means another Lady Rebel has been named NCKC Player of the week.
Hannah Neeley received the honor last week for her effort in the Lady Rebels' two wins over Collins and Oldham County. In the two victories, Neeley poured in 31 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out seven assists.
It was the third straight week a member of the Owen County Lady Rebels was named Player of the Week. The previous two winners were Samantha Toole and Rianna Gayheart.
The 2010-2011 regular season will be one to remember for the Lady Rebels.
The team won 20 games for the first time since 2003-2004. Three separate players were named NCKC Player of the Week. Rianna Gayheart was named Eighth Region Player of the Year, and Head Coach Bob Osborne was named Eighth Region Coach of the Year.
This team, however, does not want to only be known for what they accomplished in the regular season. They want to have people remember them for what they do in the postseason.

The USDA announced that a referendum on the Sorghum Promotion, Research and Information Order continues through Monday.
For the program to continue, a simple majority of those voting must support the continuation of the program.
The referendum will be conducted at local Farm Service Agency offices for producers. Ballots may be obtained in person, by mail or facsimile at county FSA offices.

Lovers of overweight women, particularly Brazilian ones, will be delighted. Lovers of midgets will be disappointed, however.
First off, it's not that much of a "midget delight," due primarily to the fact that there's actually only one midget in evidence. What this five-scener is really about is overweight (Brazilian) women, and they range from chunky to fairly obese. Most of them are pretty darned hot-blooded and passionate when they fuck and suck, too, if you're looking for a positive.
The first scene shows a randy little dude - the one, sole midget - admiring a chubby chick who's peddling on an exercise bike. He's very taken with her thick thighs and ample ass. He eagerly puts his mouth and hands all over her, greedily lapping at her clit and licking her nipples. She then delivers a spirited b.j. This is followed by a high-energy bout of enthusiastic tit-fucking and some hearty in-and-out action in a mish.
All the scenes feature some anal action in the closing moments, though it's not always immediately apparent, what with all the loose female flab down there.

New postage stamps honor Latin music
Published: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 6:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 6:33 a.m.
WASHINGTON — Musical giants Tito Puente and Carmen Miranda are bringing some Latin flavor to U.S. postage stamps.
The new set of five forever stamps going on sale Wednesday also honors Celia Cruz, Selena and Carlos Gardel. They represent a range of Latin musical styles, including Tejano, tango, samba, Latin jazz and salsa.
Postal Service vice president Marie Therese Dominguez said the stamps are "a lasting tribute to five extraordinary performers."
Formal ceremonies for the release of the stamps were held in Austin, Texas, as the stamps went on sale across the country.

- What is the prognosis of a Naegleria fowleri infection?
- Where can people find additional information about Naegleria fowleri infections?
How is a Naegleria fowleri infection diagnosed?
Naegleria fowleri should be suspected in people, especially children, with exposure to freshwater who have symptoms of meningitis or meningoencephalitis listed above. The characteristics of the presentation may be nonspecific at first, leading clinicians to suspect more common diseases such as bacterial or viral meningitis. Routine tests may show a high blood white cell count and images of the brain may show inflammation, but neither of these are specific to PAM. A spinal tap will be done and the spinal fluid often shows elevated levels or white cells and red cells. Routine staining (Gram staining) does not detect the amoeba. Thus, it is important to do a wet mount to look for the motile amoeba under the microscope.
Definitive tests for N. fowleri infection are done in only a few labs in the country. They use one of the following three methods:
- N. fowleri nucleic acid tests in CSF or biopsy tissue using PCR
- N. fowleri antigen tests in CSF or biopsy tissue using immunohistochemistry (IHC)
- It is also possible to culture N. fowleri, but this must be done in the presence of bacteria and at higher temperatures, which is not routinely done in most laboratories.
What is the treatment for a Naegleria fowleri infection?
Because Naegleria meningoencephalitis is rare, there are no studies comparing one treatment regimen to another.
The treatment of choice is amphotericin B, which is an intravenous drug usually used for fungal infections. In addition to intravenous treatment, amphotericin B can be instilled directly into the brain (intrathecally). Unfortunately, amphotericin alone often fails, which has led clinicians to use additional drugs. It is strongly recommended that an infectious-diseases expert be consulted to guide therapy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a supply of a newer agent called miltefosine, which has shown promise in a limited number of recent cases. Miltefosine can be acquired by calling the CDC Emergency Operations Center at 770-488-7100.
Other drugs such as rifampin (Rifadin), voriconazole (Vfend), or azithromycin (Zithromax, Zmax) have activity against Naegleria fowleri and may sometimes be used in combination with amphotericin B. However, there are no scientific studies available to determine the clinical efficacy of these medications and no official recommendation for their use.

- Why did my files go missing?
- How do I get a link to a deletion event?
- Instructions for account rollbacks.
Undo a deletion event
- Sign in to the Dropbox website.
- Click Deleted files in the left sidebar.
- If the event you're looking for occurred in a shared folder, select the shared folder from the pull-down menu at the top of the page.
- Locate the deleted files you want to recover, hover over the event, and click the Restore button that appears. Or click on the event to see what files were deleted.
- Restorations can take time if there's a large number of files to restore.
- The Deleted files page does not list deletion events that occured in a "mixed" event, or when deletions happened in combination with adding or editing files. If you'd like to view deletions that were a part of a mixed event, go to your Events page by typing www.dropbox.com/events into a browser window. To restore deleted files that are part of a mixed event, reach out to our support team with the mixed event link and they will perform an account rollback.
Recover select files or folders
You can recover any file or folder deleted in the last 30 days from the Dropbox website (or longer, if you have a Dropbox Business account, or a Dropbox Pro account with Extended Version History).

Instructions for account rollbacks
If you are in contact with our support team regarding an account rollback, you will be asked to provide an event link.
- We roll back your main Dropbox folder and shared folders separately. To facilitate this you need to provide separate event links for your main folder and for any shared folders you'd also like rolled back. Each folder will be rolled back to their exact state prior to the event link you sent. Any changes made after that event will be overwritten. It may be useful to make a copy outside of your Dropbox of any files you have recently edited so that you don't lose important changes.
- We can only roll back shared folders for which you have owner or editor permissions.
If you would still like to proceed with the account rollback, please find the information you need in this article and provide it to our support agents.

I have this line declared in my web.config file:
<add tagPrefix="ajax"
When I add an ajax:Accordion to my webpage, I get the following error message:
Security Exception
Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission, System, Version=188.8.131.52, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
If I comment out the ajax:Accordion, the error disappears.
