Big Big Chalkboard Pig
This line has been discontinued. All of my stock on hand has 2013 or 2012 in the inscription on the belly.
Same as the regular Big Big Pig, but with the added fun of a chalkboard surface. Draw a pretty picture, record what you're saving for, write a note for would-be piggy bank thieves.... it's just plain fun! Dimensions: approximately 8" tall x 8" long x 4" wide.
Please keep in mind that each pig is individually hand-made and hand-glazed. Variations in raw materials make for variations in the finished product. Additionally, I am not a robot; the slightest variation in technique can result in a notable difference in the finished product. It's what makes every piece of pottery unique.
I strive for consistency, but your pig may be different from the pig featured in the photo.
Think of it this way: no one else in the whole wide world has a pig exactly like yours!

Durbin returns silver pitcher to Illinois Capitol
SPRINGFIELD -- The morning before a flurry of bills passed through the Illinois Legislature with a session deadline quickly approaching, a U.S. Senator and top state lawmakers paused momentarily to place a nearly 150-year-old silver pitcher in a side corridor at the state Capitol.
It was a homecoming of sorts for the historic relic molded from melted silver coins and given to state Sen. John B. Cohrs in 1867. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin along with House Speaker Michael Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton and House Republican Leader Jim Durkin on Friday unveiled the pitcher missing from Illinois since the years following the Civil War.
Springfield leaders presented the token of appreciation to Cohrs after he successfully lobbied to keep a new Capitol building in the city. The old Capitol building, which was built in 1837 and still stands in downtown Springfield, was too small for the growing state and lawmakers needed to select a new location. Cohrs fought off attempts by other cities, including Chicago, to move the state's capital.
"We're here today talking about an instance where there was talk about moving the Capitol. The Speaker and I were just working a bill to move the capital to Chicago, as a matter of fact," Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, joked at the ceremony. "Maybe we'll reconsider."
It's only by chance that the pitcher, with a decorative inscription of Cohrs' name, returned home. Recently, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida told Durbin that his neighbor in Washington had the valuable silver pitcher in his apartment. Curtis Bell, whose father owned a jewelry shop, traced the pitcher's origins to Illinois and gave it to Durbin for free.
"Even though it's here in a corner, I hope it's a corner that's well-traveled and well-visited. I hope that when you see it, you'll understand it's an important part of history," Durbin said. "I'm glad it's coming back home."

Two Potato Cutlets with Mint and Cumin
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Every cuisine has a cutlet. Be it veal, chicken or lamb - these sublime breadcrumb-ed simple delights are something that will always be adored for their quick preparation and their wholesome homey quality. In Pakistan surprisingly (as it's such a meaty cuisine usually!) the 'Aloo Tiki', or the Spicy Potato cutlet is something that is more versatile than just a crumb fried piece of quick food - not only are these veggie, they can not only be eaten alone, with rice but can be made into a kind of a sandwich which mimics a Pakistani street food snack called 'Bun Kebab' - which is exactly what it says, a burger bun, warmed in a little butter, topped with a ground coriander leaf, mint and green chilli added and a tamarind and jaggery one as well, topped with onions, cucumber and tomatoes and eaten in bout 2 minutes flat!
This version is my own where I mix sweet potato and regular potato to create a nutty sweet flavour which is very popular with kids and grown-ups alike! —Sumayya Usmani
Makes: about 6 - 8
large potatoes, peeled, boiled and mashed
2 - 3
large Orange flesh sweet potatoes, peeled, boiled and mashed
tablespoon whole cumin, dry roasted in a pan then crushed in a mortar and pestle
cup chopped mint leaves
chopped coriander leaves
teaspoon tsp red chili powder (optional)
lemon, juiced
Salt to taste
egg, beaten to coat cutlets
Vegetable oil to fry
- Combine the two potato mash with all the spices, herbs and lemon juice. Take about 2 tbsp of the spiced mash and form into round balls and then flatten into the shape of a 'cutlet'.
- Heat a shallow pan on medium heat with a little vegetable oil. Dip the cutlets lightly into the beaten egg to aid in holding them together. Fry on either side till light brown and fragrant.
- Enjoy immediately or can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Hey, it's good news Tuesday here at Zoner Sports. We're still celebrating a monster Bears win. It's a beautiful, sunny day here in Chicago. I won my week 1 fantasy game and I sit perched at the top of the leaderboard with a 13-3 mark in Cuzoogle's Pigskin Picks. Then I read this from Bob Feder's column in today's Sun Times:
Look for Mike North and Dan Jiggetts to team up again.
Nothing is official yet, but a deal is in the works for North and Jiggetts to host a weekday morning TV show together on Comcast SportsNet, starting in January, sources said.
Known as "The Monsters of the Midday," the duo spent eight years together on CBS Radio sports/talk WSCR-AM (670).
North, who left the Score in June, debuted Monday as host of a daily Internet talk show on WildfireRestaurant.com. Jiggetts has been anchoring and hosting for Comcast SportsNet.
For my money, there hasn't been much better sportsradio in Chicago since the North & Jiggetts days on the Score. I'm excited to see them back together again and hope this project comes to fruition. Break out the cane! More sports articles to come here at Zoner Sports.

My favorite chapters are the ones on Margaret Wise Brown (Goodnight Moon which originally was titled Goodnight Room), Beatrix Potter, Dr. Seuss, and Beverly Cleary (the Ramona series).

After finishing Wild Things I wanted to drop everything and read a Ramona book! What were your favorite books when you were a kid? GRADE: A

Steve Oerkfitz
Loved Wind in the Willows Read all of Eleanor Cameron's Mushroom Planet books and Walter Farley's horse books. I was too old for Roald Dahl. He didn't start writing children's books until I was in my midteens. Read Heinlein's juveniles. Mostly read non fiction as a kid. Books about the Norse, Roman and Greek gods. Books about animals. The Ramona books I was not aware of or thought them for girls. Read some Hardy Boys and Tom Swift Jr.↓
George Kelley
Steve, I was a big Tom Swift, Jr. fan as a kid. Loved the Hardy Boys and Rick Brant series, too. And, of course, I read a lot of DC comic books!↓
Maggie mason
What a great idea for a book. I guess Harry Potter is aimed at older kids and thus not mentioned.
Dr. Seuss lived in La Jolla, and when I was a child my mom and I went to a signing with a friend of mine and her mom. They just bought one book for us to share, and guess who DIDN"T end up with it: the book freak (me). Twenty or so years ago, you could find signed books at library/estate sales. His widow, Audrey Giesel is a well known figure around town, though not so much in the last few years.
One kids book I discovered as an adult was Make Way for Ducklings. On a trip to Boston to visit friends, the kids had a library copy and would ask me to read it over and over. As a parting gift, the friend I was travelling with and I bought them their own copy. I still find it a charming book.
I recently cleared out some of my Nancy Drew books. I had continued to buy them for some years, and had to purge them. I've kept the ones up till the early 60's when I outgrew the series. I have a goal of re-reading them before getting rid of them, but haven't had time to read more than one. I have many of them with the dust jackets with the white spines. I used to go to used book shops and pick up books just for those jackets.
One treasure is 2 signed copies. One is a copy of the book where Mary Mason is the villain. My friend Nancy had a friend who belonged to the same club Mildred Wirt Benson did in Ohio. He got 2 books signed for me and some signed for Nancy and some she gave to a young cousin. She died shortly after that.↓
George Kelley
Maggie, I read some Nancy Drew books as a kid and enjoyed them. My favorite Dr. Seuss book is THE CAT IN THE HAT.↓
I read the Dr. Seuss books, of course (THE CAT IN THE HAT was the first library book I ever checked out). I was always reading, but it wasn't until I started Enid Blyton's books about plucky kids having adventures with nary a parental figure in sight that I found my childhood catnip. As a parent, GOODNIGHT MOON, was always in heavy rotation when our kids were young. I try to always put a copy in the gift bag when I go to a baby shower.↓
George Kelley
Deb, GOODNIGHT MOON started out as a slow seller. It took more than a decade for sales to perk up. Today, GOODNIGHT MOON sells 800.000 copies per year.↓
Bill Crider
Maggie, my great-uncle Everett G. Jackson was at San Diego State for many years and was friends with Geisel. I didn't get any signed books, either, though.↓
Jeff Meyerson
The first book I remember as a kid was HORTON HATCHES AN EGG. I never read Winnie the Pooh and didn't read CHARLOTTE'S WEB until I was an adult. I did read the Hardy Boys books. And OLD YELLER.↓
Patti Abbott
Great idea for a book. Loved the Maude Hart Lovelace books, the shoes books, All of a Kind Family books, the Bobbsey Twins, Nancy Drew, the Little Maid books, and so many more. I read five books every week because that was what I was allowed by the library.↓
Maggie mason
As a bookseller, I used to find and sell Maud Hart Lovelace books, but had never heard of her as a child. shoes books, all of a kind family or Little maid books are series books I've not heard of.
I read Bobbsey twins, Nancy Drew, Judy Bolton, Dana Girls, Trixie Belden, and the occasional Hardy boys books. In the 4th or 5th grades, we'd swap with the boys when we ran out of "our" series.↓
Jeff Meyerson
Jackie loved Pippi Longstocking as a kid and wanted her life – free to do what you want, your own house, absent parent was her ideal life.
Later she read a lot of "career girl" books -Cherry Ames – Nurse (also Sue Barton), Vicki Barr – Flight Stewardess, The Dana Girls, and the like. Yet she felt her only career choices at the time (she really wanted to be a journalist) was teacher, nurse, or secretary. All three sisters and their mother were teachers.
Maggie mason
I'm currently a book provider to 5 families and 2 free libraries. A friend is an executor of an estate that belonged to a former teacher. At first, we found just a few dozen books, which I sold for them to a bookstore where my friend scott works. After 2 estate sales, he asked me to take all the kids books. I had put the books the store didn't buy at a pathetic little free library near my house (bless their hearts for doing it). I went into the storage shed in the back yard and found hundreds of books. One family I gave them to was outside when I was on my am walk, and they thanked me for them. I asked if they were ok age wise and was told yes, so I said I had more (I'd left 15 for them, for all 3 kids). One little boy just beamed, I thought he was going to jump up and down for joy. That afternoon I left an additional 25 books for them. I have about 10 others to leave them so far, and some coloring books. Seeing that kid so happy really made my day.
I have one more bin to go thru, and not all are kindergarten level (what she taught), so will probably have one more round of books for the 5 families and the free libraries.↓
Rick Robinson
When I was small my parents read to me every night, and I remember one of my favorites was Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. Also, A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh books, and the two books of poetry, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. I can still quote part or all of many of those poems.
Also: Make Way for Ducklings, Wind in the Willows, Peter Rabbit, Paddington Bear, all of the books by Holling Clancy Holling, especially Minn of the Mississippi, Mr. Popper's Penguins.
Later, I was reading The Hardy Boys books, and the Winston Science Fiction Library books. which launched me into Heinlein and so on.↓
Cap'n Bob
I had some Little Golden Books that I enjoyed. my earliest memory of a book that was mine alone was Doctor Dan the Bandage Man. That whetted by appetite for Proust, Rabelais, and Camus.↓
Maggie mason
I found some little golden books while cleaning out. I had made little pockets for the book and put the title and book number for the "mason library". Not sure they were every checked out by anyone other than me, but the highest number was in the 200's. Have no idea where most of them went.↓

Reduced Spending at All levels of Government
I would recommend Equal Employment ACT legislation. This legislation would require every department of government, local and State, to determine the number of employees on government payroll and document those numbers.
After determining the number of employees, it would require government employee positions to be cut to equal the official unemployment numbers and adjusted quarterly, semi-annually or another specified period of time.
The next phase of the EEACT would mandate that government employees be paid equally as compared to private sector employees.
This would require retirement benefits, healthcare insurance, vacation and all other benefits to be calculated into the equation to determine the actual income of the public employee.
This type of legislation would not only reduce government spending by eliminating public sector jobs, it would reduce the number of people looking to get onto the public sector career wagon.
We know that unfunded public employee retirement costs is a major issue facing South Carolina and this would be a step in the right direction to reduce those unfunded expenses. It would also create an attitude of joint hardship between public and private sector workers.
This would be beneficial in the long-term support from public employees for fiscally sound economic policy in South Carolina.

Based on an understanding of the woes besetting the euro zone, it's safe to say that the EU program will be a spectacular success - for maybe a week.
The euro could bounce back five cents or so against the dollar when EU finance ministers start rocking and rolling in the markets, and interest rates on the debt of the weaker members of the 16-nation euro zone - Spain, Portugal and especially Greece - could come down a percentage point or two or three. Stock markets in a lot of places, including the United States, could stage a dramatic comeback from the pasting they have taken in the last week.
New Lows Ahead?
The gains could be just as quickly undone, however, followed by even lower lows. As Douglas McIntyre points out on AOL's DailyFinance website, European leaders have few reasonable choices in confronting the run on their markets.
"The European Central Bank and the financial ministers of its member nations have a modest number of options. They can directly buy sovereign debt from the weakest economies; buy debt or equity in large banks; make investments that will bring down the rate at which sovereign debt is insured; or, they can directly buy euros."
McIntyre does not say which approach or approaches he expects European officialdom to take, but he does allude to the shortcoming inherent in each when he asks: "Where will the money come from?"
The euro zone is a closed system. Its members probably could pony up several hundred billion euros to try to prop up markets, but any support program amounts to robbing Heinrich to pay Stavros. It may smooth out the region's financial frailty, but it won't lessen it.
Think of it this way: European governments collectively are running deficits of about 6 percent of the region's economic output this year. That means any money used to defend their currency and financial markets is essentially borrowed money. Borrowing to buy your own debt isn't much of a solution.
Allez-y, Faites Mon Jour
French President Nicolas Sarkozy vowed to "confront speculators mercilessly," according to press reports, and he warned that they would soon "know once and for all what lies in store for them."
It may not be what he has in mind, but what lies in store for them probably is more profits. The speculators no doubt will stand aside as treasuries send in their billions of euros and push prices higher. Indeed, if they take a few days off, it will amplify the impact of the state intervention.
That will just give the speculators a brief vacation and then a ripe opportunity to attack the euro and peripheral European bonds at more attractive, artificially inflated prices once markets stabilize.
That would almost certainly pay off because what ails Europe fundamentally isn't financial speculation but persistent fiscal imprudence that has created a double whammy of very high taxes and excessive indebtedness. That in turn has resulted in chronically slow economic growth, which reduces state revenues and perpetuates the cycle.
If European leaders were to cut tax rates, ease regulations on businesses and overhaul their generous-to-a-fault pension systems, there's a good chance the euro and asset prices across the region would go up and stay up. It won't happen, at least not soon, so look for any pop in the markets to prove short-lived and perhaps the last decent selling opportunity for a long time.

Lewis Jones, Jr., 44, had gone fishing. Relatives say he dropped a fishing pole in the lake and went into the water to retrieve it. As he was returning to shore he went under water and never resurfaced.
Dive teams from the O'Fallon and Swansea Fire Departments retrieved his body.
Friends and relatives describe him as a man of faith who enjoyed preaching at the Action for Christ Church in Lebanon. He was also known as a gospel poet and frequently had religious themed poems published in the Lebanon newspaper, "The Lebanon Advertiser." As a younger man he drew a cartoon strip for the paper.
Jones worked in the construction industry as a laborer often helping to pour concrete. Co-worker Tellis Swarn enjoyed his sense of humor and his commitment to his faith.
"We always used to talk about everything you do in life is a test of faith which it is. God, your faith, is tested in all type of trials and tribulations," Swarn said Thursday after he learned of his friend's sudden death.
Jones, the father of six children, three of them step-children, was scheduled to speak to his congregation on Sunday, Father's Day along with his cousin Decarlo Dale. Dale said he would include a tribute to Jones. "I'll make sure his memory is kept."
As of Thursday night funeral arrangements had not been completed.

Martin O'Neill, the Sunderland manager, has been growing increasingly exasperated at the club's failure to make any significant breakthroughs in the transfer market, so the arrival of the Spurs duo would provide a much-needed lift.
With less than two weeks to go until the transfer window closes, before it reopens in January for a month, Sunderland still have much to do if O'Neill is going to be content with the strength of his squad.
The arrival of midfielder Jenas and left-back Rose will add depth and increase competition and O'Neill is still hoping to land Scotland striker Steven Fletcher from Wolves despite months of fractious haggling over a fee.
Wolves have been holding out for £15 million to part with Fletcher even though he has handed in a transfer request. Sunderland, who have offered £12 million for Fletcher, have looked into the possibility of signing Dimitar Berbatov from Manchester United should they fail to reach a compromise.
Russian club Zenit St Petersburg are tracking the 31 year-old, but the striker, a £30.75 million signing from Spurs in 2008, would be open to a move to another English club.
O'Neill is still interested in Manchester City winger Adam Johnson, but fears Sunderland will lose out to more illustrious rivals, with Everton and Spurs just two of the clubs thought to be chasing the former Middlesbrough player.
Sunderland, who have already snapped up the 34-year-old forward Louis Saha on a free transfer, would like to sign younger players than Berbatov, but the need for a striker is acute in a team who have lost Darren Bent, Asamoah Gyan, Kenwyne Jones and Danny Welbeck since 2010.
O'Neill can at least focus his attention on the search for attacking players once Jenas and Rose have finalised their switch to Wearside.
Jenas has been told he does not feature in new Spurs manager, Andre Villas Boas' plans, and has not played first-team football since injuring his ankle while on loan at Aston Villa last November.
O'Neill, though, remembers the dynamic player who was once a regular in the England squad under Sven-Goran Eriksson and Steve McClaren and feels he still has much to give at the age of 29, despite his injury problems.
The versatile midfielder will attract plenty of attention on his return to the North-East having spent just under three years at Newcastle United under Sir Bobby Robson.
Jenas quit Newcastle to sign for Tottenham when Robson was replaced by Graeme Souness as manager, and the Scot rather mischievously claimed the former Nottingham Forest prospect had asked to leave because he did not want to live in a football equivalent of a goldfish bowl.
Rose can also play in midfield, but his signing is expected to pave the way for left-back Kieran Richardson's departure, with Queens Park Rangers and West Ham, as revealed by Telegraph Sport, competing for his signature.

"I could not be more happy for our guys," HPU coach Hendrik Bode said. "They've played their hearts out today and showed a lot of character when they needed to. This was a new situation for all of them but they stepped up to the occasion and showed why we have been so successful this season."
HPU will play West Florida at 1 p.m. EST Saturday in Altamonte Springs.

On "Revenge," Amanda, who everyone else thinks is Emily, was recovering from her coma when things got a lot more complicated. Mason returned, and noticed that the scar Emily suffered from a burn while she was in foster care was no longer there.
"The daughter of Kara Wallace and David Clarke? That is one thing you most definitely are not," he alleged.
Wetpaint thinks it looks like Emily's true identity is about to be revealed.
But the New Jersey Star-Ledger speculates the threat could just send her into hardcore "revenge mode."

My SJW Meme Facebook Group Has Changed the Way I Make Friends
Having a social justice warrior meme group has brought people into my life who are serious about their politics and also fucking hilarious.
This week I wanted to try a new thing. I wanted to try a thing where I compiled all the science and tech-related things that I personally found interesting, and share them with you. Kind of like Madeline's (STILL CRYING) Pretty Things on The Internet posts, but with more lasers. Let's get one thing out of the way: I don't want to talk about Kate Upton floating around in the sky.
Let's talk science!
1. Harvard is working on AUTONOMOUS construction robots, based on the hard-working termite. Termites are very good at building the structures of my nightmares, so why wouldn't they be good at building other things?
These are pretty cool given the fact that they work independently of each other; once given an initial command they need no further instructions. They're kind of slow, but the fact that they can adapt to new surroundings and each other is pretty amazing.
2. Scientists are starting to think that maaaaaaaaaaaybe it's a good idea to start paying attention to giant asteroids, because one will probably hit us one day. NASA is developing the "Asteroid Redirect Mission," which will capture and redirect threatening asteroids to a safe orbit of Earth's moon for future exploration by astronauts.
It looks like someone follows Neil deGrasse Tyson on Twitter.
3. A man named Omar Hurricane made a small step forward in nuclear fusion (not fission) by shooting a whole mess of lasers at a tiny gold-plated ball that contained a thin coating of nuclear fuel on the inside. I'll give you a moment to fully absorb how awesome that dude's name is before we move on.
Though the total amount of energy put into the experiment as a whole (two megajoules, or roughly two sticks of dynamite) is far greater than the amount released by the fusion reactions in the fuel (about 17 kilojoules), it's worth noting that only a small amount of the energy unleashed by the lasers is being used in the reaction; only a fraction of the two megajoules is actually making it to the targeted ball of fuel.
This may seem like a giant waste of awesome lasers, but it's significant because the energy resulting from the fusion reaction is greater than the energy actually going into the reaction. The next step would be streamlining the process so the experiment consumes less energy overall.
Crushing a two-millimeter-wide pellet with 192 lasers does seem a little like using a crane to crush a fly.
4. The world of computer science has given us Twitch Plays Pokemon, which may may be the most interesting social experiment I've ever seen. Or maybe it's ridiculous. I don't even know what's real anymore. To see the live stream of hundreds of thousands of people trying to control a single game of Pokemon Red, go here.
5. It turns out we may be wrong about how stars explode. NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) has created the first map of radioactive material in a supernova remnant, shedding light on how stars rip apart as they're dying.
"Stars are spherical balls of gas, and so you might think that when they end their lives and explode, that explosion would look like a uniform ball expanding out with great power," said Fiona Harrison, the principal investigator of NuSTAR at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena. "Our new results show how the explosion's heart, or engine, is distorted, possibly because the inner regions literally slosh around before detonating."
The stars "SLOSH AROUND." I love that imagery.
NuStar is new and exciting because it is the first mapping device of its kind which allows NASA to map radioactive material in stellar remnants, in this case titanium-44.
Remember babies, we are all star stuff.
6. In yet another case of "Nature is an Asshole," we see that rafting ants use their babies as the VERY BOTTOM OF THE RAFT because larval and pupal ants are more bouyant. The queen is of course top and center, and protected on all sides. Bow down.
David Hu, a mechanical engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology who was not involved in the study, mused "It adds a level of sophistication to the rafts that was previously not understood." I'm not sure why they asked this bird about this, but I like his coldly detached response.
So those were the six science/tech stories from around the Internet that caught my eye last week. Did you guys come across any cool science you'd like to share? Are you horrified by the ant thing? Let's discuss in the comments.
Tweet me about science or whatever. @clairelizzie

I have solar heat but would like to move toward year round use of the pool. I am in Southern California, LA area, where winter is relatively mild. I'd like to have the water temp somewhere between 80 - 85 degrees and I'm trying to find a unit with decent energy efficiency. I have been reading about gas heat versus electric heat pump, but I'm concerned about the heat pump adding to my already high electric bill. SC Edison has penalties for going over the number of therms they say you should be using, so with the need (not want) for A/C during the summer months, lights, computers, etc. gas may be the least expensive way to go. My gas bill is very low, less than 50 dollars monthly, while the electric bill averages 200. Can anyone provide a little more insight? Any particular brands more reliable than others? Features to look for? Best time to buy (is there a typical seasonal sale time)?
Thanks in advance for any help. 8)

How to: Create Views of Data on a Client
This topic shows you how to use Sync Framework to combine two or more server tables into a single table in the client database. The examples in this topic focus on the following Sync Framework types and events:
For information about how to run sample code, see "Example Applications in the How to Topics" in Programming Common Client and Server Synchronization Tasks.
The following code examples show how to synchronize the Customer and CustomerContact tables in the Sync Framework sample database. During the initial synchronization, data from the two tables is selected by using the incremental inserts command, downloaded to the client, and then inserted into the CustomerInfo table. During the subsequent synchronization, qualifying changes are downloaded to the client.
Key Parts of the API
This section provides code examples that point out the key parts of the API to use when you are combining tables. The following code examples specify SyncTable and SyncAdapter objects that both use the name CustomerInfo. Specifying the name in both places enables the SyncAgent and providers to translate selects from the Customer and CustomerContact tables into inserts for the CustomerInfo table.
The following code example includes the query for the SelectIncrementalInsertsCommand property. The query uses a join to ensure that only customers who have contact information are downloaded to the client during the initial synchronization. For subsequent synchronizations, inserts to the CustomerContact table are downloaded; inserts to the Customer table are downloaded only if a row for the customer is also inserted into the CustomerContact table. Notice that the select list does not include all columns. As with all the queries that are used in synchronization, the logic of each query depends on the requirements of the application. For example, you could download all customers, even if they do not have contact information.
The following code example includes the query for the SelectIncrementalDeletesCommand property. The query uses two SELECT statements and a UNION to select deletes for the Customer and CustomerContact tables. The first SELECT statement joins with the CustomerContact table to retrieve the PhoneType column. This column is part of the composite key for the CustomerInfo table. The logic is as follows:
If a customer was deleted, all the rows for that customer are deleted at the client.
If contact information was deleted, only that row is deleted at the client.
If a customer row and contact information for that customer were both deleted, at least one extra delete is downloaded. This will not cause any errors when changes are applied at the client database.
The following code example creates a composite primary key for the CustomerInfo table. This key matches the key for the CustomerContact table. Sync Framework can infer the schema from the tables at the server, but the key must be specified in this case. You can also manually create the schema, as described in How to: Initialize the Client Database and Work with Table Schema.
Complete Code Example
The following complete code example includes the code examples that are described earlier and additional code to perform synchronization. The example requires the Utility class that is available in Utility Class for Database Provider How-to Topics. Notice that the insert into the Customer table in the Utility class is not downloaded on the subsequent synchronization because there is no corresponding row in the CustomerContact table.

This follows our previous meeting(s) on _______________, my previous letters of ______________, and our previous phone conversations on ________________ [give dates if you can] in which I have repeatedly sought the school district's help to stop the bullying [harassment, sexual harassment] 1 [see endnote 1 below - don't include endnotes in your letter] of my child [name] , age ____. Despite these efforts, the school has failed to take effective action, the bullying is continuing, and the bullying is harming my child.
I previously have described in detail the bullying that began on _______ [give the date or approximate time when the bullying began, if you know it]. Since the last incident of [date} that I reported to you, I have learned that the bullying is continuing. [Describe in detail each incident of bullying that has occurred since that time, giving dates and times, locations, the words used by the offender(s), if any, during the incident, how you learned of it, and any other important details. Stick to the facts as you understand them. Be specific and accurate. For example, if the offenders cursed at your child or called your child names, state specifically what they said, if you know, and how you know - ex., "My son reported to me that one of the boys 3 who attacked him called him a "sissy" and a "fag." If the offenders pushed your child, state who did it and how they did it. Ex: "My daughter reported to me that a girl approached her from behind, grabbed her around the neck, and jerked her backwards causing her to lose her balance and fall backward to the floor." Naturally, if your child was injured in a bullying incident, you should obtain necessary medical attention. You also could consider attaching a letter from your child's pediatrician or other physician documenting the medical evaluation and treatment, or other proof of the treatment. If your child sustained a visible bruise or other injury in a bullying incident, you should take photos showing the injury. You also could consider attaching the photos to your letter to the school. Remember: A primary goal here is to get the school to take the bullying seriously and take effective action to end it]. 4
The Continuing Bullying is Harming my Child
The continuing bullying is having very harmful effects on my child. [Describe how your child is being affected by the continuing bullying, any adverse changes you have observed in your child, comments by your child showing the effect on him or her, comments by outside tutors, psychologists, or others about effects of the bullying or adverse changes they have observed since the bullying began. Exs: expressions of fear or reluctance to attend class or school, loss of interest in homework or school, decline in grades, attempts to remain at home during school hours, increasing absenteeism, decline in self-esteem, increasing unhappiness or moodiness, etc. If your child is seeing an outside therapist or other counselor, consider requesting a letter from them that you can attach to your letter or that they can send separately to the school official documenting the harmful changes they have observed in your child as a result of the bullying].
Formal Notice to the School District under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
As you know, I have sought to work with you and others at the school in a cooperative way to help resolve this problem informally. I repeatedly have written to you, met with you, and discussed this matter on the phone with you and others at the school district. I repeatedly have requested you to take effective action to stop the bullying. I have proposed solutions to the problem to the best of my ability. The solutions I have proposed include [ summarize them ]. To date, the school district has failed to take effective action to stop the bullying, the bullying continues, and the bullying continues to harm my child.
I regret that the situation has reached a point where it is necessary for me to send you this formal notice of potential legal action. This notice is intended to conform to the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court in Gebser v. Lago Vista School District, and subsequent case law.
It is my understanding that the [name of school district] meets the legal requirements in this case to be held liable to my child and me, as the parent, in a federal lawsuit seeking money damages for violating Title IX. The school district operates an educational program that receives federal funds and therefore is subject to Title IX. The bullying of my child at school is "severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive," as documented in this letter and in my prior communications with the school. You, as the principal, and the other school district officials who are receiving copies of this letter, have the power and authority over the offenders, the other students, school personnel, and the circumstances involved here to effectively investigate and take action to stop the bullying of my child. You and the other school officials unreasonably have failed to date to take effective action to stop the bullying. In fact, the district has effectively refused to take the necessary action, which shows a deliberate indifference to the bullying of my child and to the district's legal responsibility to intervene to stop the bullying. The continuing bullying of my child is causing severe harm to my child and is preventing my child from having the same access to the benefits of the education that the school district provides to other students in the program. The district therefore is unfairly and illegally discriminating against my child.
Although this letter is specifically intended to provide the required formal notice to the district under Title IX, it is my understanding that my child and I may have additional legal rights under other federal and state laws against the district arising from its failure to take effective action to end the bullying that continues to harm my child. Accordingly, please be advised that, if necessary, we will pursue a legal action against the district to the fullest extent possible.
My primary goal at this point, however, is for the school district to take effective action to end the bullying that is harming my child. I believe this demand is consistent with the directive to school districts issued in a "Dear Colleague letter" on October 26, 2010 by the Office of Civil Rights, which emphasizes that a "school district may violate [federal civil rights laws] when peer harassment based on race, color, national origin, sex, or disability is sufficiently serious that it creates a hostile environment and such harassment is encouraged, tolerated, not adequately addressed, or ignored by school employees." (Letter, p.1, 10/26/10, Russlyn Ali, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Office of Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education). I believe the bullying of my child has created a hostile environment at school, and that the school district has failed to take effective action to correct it.
Request for Meeting
Please know that I sincerely want to continue working with the school district to stop the bullying of my child. I therefore request a meeting with you, Superintendent of Schools [ name ], and Special Education Director [ name ], [if your child is a special education student]. [If there are others you think should attend the meeting, such as the IEP team, identify them]. I am available for that meeting at the following dates and times. [Give at least three alternative dates and times]. I will call you by [specify a date within two days of the date your letter will be received - and then call to follow up at that time].
Sincerely yours,
Mary Parent (better, if possible, for both parents to sign and to change the text of the letter to reflect that it is from both parents)
cc: Dr., Ms., Mr. [Name of superintendent of schools]
Dr., Ms., Mr. [Name of special ed director, if your child is a special ed student]
Any other key players at school you think should receive notice
Note : We recommend that you send the letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, to ensure proof of receipt and to underscore the "legal" and important nature of this notice. Also transmit copies by email so that the recipients can click on the links in the letter, if they choose.
1 A Gebser letter like this sample letter has specific reference to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX protects students at schools receiving federal funds, like public schools, from bullying or harassment based on sex or gender. It also encompasses sexual harassment, such as when peers (or a teacher) attempt to, or do, coerce a student into a sexual relationship or sexual conduct. For more information, see our newsletter article on Gebser letters here or, better yet, consult a qualified attorney in all serious cases of bullying or sexual harassment at school. We generally will use the shorthand term, "bullying," in this sample letter to refer to the conduct in question, but if sexual harassment is involved, you should use that term as well. Be aware also that parents and students may be protected from bullying or sexual harassment by other federal and state laws.
2 Consider using headings, especially in a longer letter.
3 Although you likely will be required to "name names" of the offenders in your contacts with the school concerning the bullying, do so only with extreme care, being very careful to state the facts as you understand them, and provide the names only under appropriate circumstances. Request the party to whom you are required to give the names to keep them confidential and confirm in writing that you have made that request. We do not favor identifying offenders by name in this letter because it is not necessary to provide effective notice under Title IX and may unnecessarily expose you to a lawsuit for defamation, if you make false statements about another person that causes them injury. Keep in mind that you can be sued by an offender or the offenders' parents for defamation regardless of whether the claim has merit and regardless of whether you describe only the offender's conduct, but do not provide the offender's name. That is a risk you must balance against the risk of failing to take the necessary action to end the bullying.
4 If you can document facts showing that the bullying is based on sex or gender, you should do it because Title IX covers only sex and gender-based bullying and harassment. (See our article on "Gebser letters" in our newsletter). In some cases, it can require close scrutiny and a thorough understanding of the law to determine whether a particular form of conduct may trigger a student and parent's legal rights under Title IX. For this and other reasons, we strongly encourage parents to consult a qualified attorney in serious cases of bullying or sexual harassment.
