Entity relationship behavior
Updated: November 29, 2016
Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online
When a one-to-many entity relationship exists there are cascading behaviors that can be configured to preserve data integrity and automate business processes. This topic will explain some key concepts and describe how you can configure these cascading behaviors.
Before describing how to configure entity relationship behaviors it is useful to consider how it applies to your business. Three key concepts are:
Each entity can have rules that define a valid record. For example, a Microsoft Dynamics 365 opportunity record must include a reference to a potential customer. Users can't create a new opportunity record without either adding an existing customer or creating a new customer record.
But what if the account or contact that represents the customer is deleted? In a case like this, possible alternatives are to either:
Restrict any attempt to delete a customer record with an associated opportunity.
Cascade the delete action when a corresponding customer record is deleted so that any related opportunity records are automatically deleted.
In Microsoft Dynamics 365 for the one-to-many relationships that relate opportunities with customers, such as Opportunity.opportunity_customer_accounts and Contact.opportunity_customer_contacts, the behavior is to cascade the delete action.
When you model your data to use in Microsoft Dynamics 365 you will have similar decisions for how you want to preserve data integrity.
Your business processes may require you to perform actions on records that have related records. For example, you may need to assign an account to a new salesperson. If that account record has any opportunity records, some options include:
Do nothing. The opportunities should continue to be owned by the individuals who work on them.
Assign all the opportunities to the new salesperson. As the new owner of this account record, the salesperson is now responsible for all opportunities related to that account.
Only assign the active opportunities to the new salesperson. Preserve the owner for any inactive opportunity records for reporting purposes.
Only assign the opportunities owned by the previous account owner to the new salesperson. This allows the new salesperson to replace the previous owner.
These options are common ones you can configure using entity relationship behavior in Microsoft Dynamics 365. If you require different behaviors consider purchasing a solution containing the behavior you need or developing a plugin to provide additional options.
These configuration options are called cascading behaviors because they cascade down the hierarchy of related entities. For example, if deleting an account causes related opportunities to be deleted, what about the activities associated with the opportunities? In Microsoft Dynamics 365 the behavior defined in each of the entity relationships for activity type entities is that they are deleted as well.
However, not all entities are treated this way. For example, orders and invoices contain important business data that shouldn't be inadvertently deleted. They have entity relationship behavior configured to restrict deleting customer or opportunity records that they are associated with. Before you can delete the customer or opportunity that has a related order or invoice record, you must delete the order or invoice first.
As you model your business data by creating custom entities or when using existing Microsoft Dynamics 365 system entities, consider the behavior you require and the implications for the entire hierarchy of related entities.
Each pair of entities that are eligible to have a 1:N relationship can have multiple 1:N relationships between them. Yet only one of those relationships can be considered a parental entity relationship. See TechNet: Customizable parental entity relationships for a list of all the customizable parental entity relationships.
A parental entity relationship is any 1:N entity relationship where one of the cascading options (defined in CascadeType) in the Parental column of the following table is true.
Not Parental
Each referencing entity in a 1:N entity relationship has one referencing attribute where the relationship can be considered parental.
For example, if you create a new custom entity and add a 1:N entity relationship with the account entity where your custom entity is the referencing entity, you can configure the actions for that entity relationship to use the options in the Parental column. If you later add another 1:N entity relationship with your custom entity as the referencing entity you can only configure the actions to use the options in the Not Parental column.
Usually this means that for each entity pair there is only one parental relationship. There are some cases where the referencing attribute on the referencing may include a reference to more than one type of entity.
For example, the Opportunity entity has a referencing attribute called customerid where a reference to either a contact or account record may be stored. There are two separate parental 1:N entity relationships in this case.
Any activity entity, for example, a task, fax, phone call, and so on, has a similar set of parental entity relationships for entities that can be associated using the regardingobjectid referencing attribute.
When you use CreateOneToManyRequest or UpdateRelationshipRequest you include an instance of a OneToManyRelationshipMetadata class in the body of the request. In the CascadeConfiguration property of that class you use the CascadeConfiguration class.
The CascadeConfiguration class contains the properties representing actions that may be performed on the referenced entity in the one-to-many entity relationship. Each property can be assigned one of the values of the CascadeType enumeration.
Application label
Cascade Active
Perform the action on all active referencing entity records associated with the referenced entity record.
Cascade All
Perform the action on all referencing entity records associated with the referenced entity record.
Cascade None
Do nothing.
Remove Link
Remove the value of the referencing attribute for all referencing entity records associated with the referenced entity record.
Prevent the Referenced entity record from being deleted when referencing entities exist.
Cascade User Owned
Perform the action on all referencing entity records owned by the same user as the referenced entity record.
The CascadeConfiguration class contains the following properties representing actions that may be performed on the referenced entity in the one-to-many entity relationship.
Valid options
The referenced entity record owner is changed.
The referenced entity record is deleted.
The record is merged with another record.
See About the reparent action below.
When the referenced entity record is shared with another user.
When sharing is removed for the referenced entity record.
The reparent action is very similar to the share action except that it deals with the inherited read access rights instead of explicit read access rights.
For more information about inherited access rights, see How record-based security can be used to control access to records in Microsoft Dynamics 365, especially the Sharing and inheritance section.
The reparent action is when you change the value of the referencing attribute in a parental relationship. When a reparent action occurs, the desired scope of the inherited read access rights for related entities might change. The cascade actions related to the reparent action refer to changes to read access rights for the entity record and any entity records related to it. For more information about how an entity relationship is configured to be parental, see Parental entity relationships.
For example, there is a parental relationship between Opportunity and Account based on the CustomerId referencing attribute. If you are the owner of an account and there is an opportunity associated with that account, you inherit read access rights to that opportunity and any records associated with it. If the CustomerId referencing attribute value for the opportunity is changed to refer to a different account, the owner of that account inherits read access rights to the opportunity if the Reparent action is Cascade. You can disable this automatic inheritance of read access rights if you set the reparent action to NoCascade. You can use the Active or UserOwned options to specify filters on which records are affected by the change in access rights. For any records related to the opportunity using a parental relationship, the reparent action cascades down those entity relationships and read access rights are inherited based on the filters set for the Reparent action.

Selling Tips for Small Businesses – The Best Way to Sell is not to Sell!
We're all keen to generate growth for our businesses. New business is the lifeblood of most small businesses. Hence, concerted effort in lead generation is essential for most companies in order to grow.
But prospects can smell fear and anxiety when service providers over-sell and try too hard to convince them how great their products or services are and thus how it would be a no brainer not to buy from their organisation.

Ways Of Finding A Good Personal Development Coach.
If you really want to work on your personal growth skills, a personal development coach is a great asset for you. The personal development coach will be able to help their clients to acknowledge certain aspects of themselves which they may have never noticed before. The coach is also in a position to help people in setting their intentions and overcoming obstacles through using resources that they may have not been previously aware of.
However, most people are not certain of how they can find personal development coaching. One can get a good personal growth coach through a lot of ways. Searching through the internet is one of the most obvious options. You can also go through directories which are specifically made for development. Finding any personal growth coach is very easy.
But you should not settle for just any personal development coach. You should get only the best personal development training for both you and your needs. This can demand a lot in terms of time and effort but it will totally be worth the while as you will see results. When looking for the best personal growth coach, there are a lot of factors that you need to keep in mind.
Accreditation is the very first thing you have to consider when looking for a good personal development coach. Most people tend to hire personal coaches without first going through their personal development accreditation. This is an unregulated profession and anyone can therefore use their previous experience to look professional and even train others.
Although this is a significant factor that allows one to involve the coach, a good coach will have a degree or another certificate that allows clients to know that they have qualifications enabling them to provide such services.
When looking for a personal development coach, another factor you have to take into consideration is the specialization. Many coaches have trained in general skills with references to personal growth. However, the best development coach is one with thorough training on one particular aspect of personal growth.
Search for a professional whom you get along with. You can determine whether or not you get along with your coach through initial meeting or effort run. If this is not possible, it is advisable to find another personal development coach. You will not get anywhere if you will be focused on how you dislike the coach instead of your personal growth.
Finally, consider the price. The prices can be based on several factors like experience, type of accreditation, coaching schedule and specialty.

On Monday, the University of Virginia's Phi Kappa Psi fraternity announced it would investigate a lawsuit against Rolling Stone after the magazine's massive "Rape on Campus" expose turned out to have been based completely on a fraudulent story. The fraternity released a statement regarding their potential lawsuit:
After 130 days of living under a cloud of suspicion as a result of reckless reporting by Rolling Stone magazine, today the Virginia Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi announced plans to pursue all available legal action against the magazine.
The original 9,000-word article, widely praised by the mainstream media for its depth and reportage, accused seven men at the Phi Kappa Psi of allegedly raping a young woman named Jackie at a fraternity party, and further accused the university of ignoring the allegations. The author of the piece, Samantha Erdely, said she had an agenda: she wanted to uncover an example of the supposed rash of brutal rapes on campus. To that end, she told the story of Jackie without bothering to double check even the most basic facts. And the story she told was shocking in the extreme:
When yet another hand clamped over her mouth, Jackie bit it, and the hand became a fist that punched her in the face. "Grab its motherfucking leg," she heard a voice say. And that's when Jackie knew she was going to be raped. She remembers every moment of the next three hours of agony, during which, she says, seven men took turns raping her, while two more – her date, Drew, and another man – gave instruction and encouragement.
The report drove UVA to suspend all fraternities on campus, ban Phi Kappa Psi, led to vandalism of the fraternity house complete with graffiti and shattered windows, and did severe damage to the national fraternity and its members.
The story itself, it turned out, was nonsense. Jackie lied. More importantly, Erdely didn't engage in "basic, even routine journalistic practice" to check the story. Erdely offered this apology – but no apology to Phi Kappa Psi. She stated:
I want to offer my deepest apologies: to Rolling Stone's readers, to my Rolling Stone editors and colleagues, to the U.V.A. community, and to any victims of sexual assault who may feel fearful as a result of my article.
She then explained that her big mistake was caring too much about alleged rape victims to check their stories, and said that she hoped her "mistakes in reporting this story do not silence the voices of victims that need to be heard." She did not say anything about the voices of the innocent being protected.
Rolling Stone will not fire Erdely, managing editor Will Dana, or article editor Sean Woods.
UVA responded by pointing out the obvious:
Rolling Stone's story, 'A Rape on Campus,' did nothing to combat sexual violence, and it damaged serious efforts to address the issue. Irresponsible journalism unjustly damaged the reputations of many innocent individuals and the University of Virginia. Rolling Stone falsely accused some University of Virginia students of heinous, criminal acts, and falsely depicted others as indifferent to the suffering of their classmate. The story portrayed university staff members as manipulative and callous toward victims of sexual assault. Such false depictions reinforce the reluctance sexual assault victims already feel about reporting their experience, lest they be doubted or ignored.
So, how likely is Phi Kappa Psi to win in a lawsuit against Rolling Stone?
Phi Kappa Psi would presumably file suit in Virginia, where the non-existent events supposedly took place. The definition of defamation in Virginia involves publication of an actionable statement with requisite fault on the part of the defendant. Each element of this definition requires further definition. "Actionable," according to the Digital Media Law Project, means that the statement must be false and harm the plaintiff's reputation. Virginia also recognizes the concept of defamation per se: defamation by the very nature of the claim. That category includes accusations of criminality that could result in indictment and punishment.
Phi Kappa Psi would, for purposes of defamation, be considered a public figure. That means that the fraternity would have to show not just negligence but malice. Malice is generally defined as reckless disregard for truth or knowledge that the statements were false. It would be difficult to claim that Erdely knew the statements were false – but when it comes to recklessness, it is difficult to imagine a more reckless story. The editors and writer of the story themselves are the sources for their reckless disregard of the truth. Here's Woods:
Ultimately, we were too deferential to our rape victim; we honored too many of her requests in our reporting. We should have been much tougher, and in not doing that, we maybe did her a disservice.
Did her a disservice? What about those she slandered?
Then there's Erdely herself:
If this story was going to be about Jackie, I can't think of many things that we would have been able to do differently. … Maybe the discussion should not have been so much about how to accommodate her but should have been about whether she would be in this story at all.
The story, in other words, was too good to check. And so Erdely went out of her way not to check the story. When she finally asked Phi Kappa Psi for comment, according to the Columbia Journalism Review, she did so by cutting short the narration of the allegations:
She did not reveal Jackie's account of the date of the attack. She did not reveal that Jackie said Phi Kappa Psi had hosted a "date function" that night, that prospective pledges were present or that the man who allegedly orchestrated the attack was a Phi Kappa Psi member who was also a lifeguard at the university aquatic center. Jackie had made no request that she refrain from providing such details to the fraternity.
The president of Phi Kappa Psi's local chapter, Stephen Scipione, later said, "It was complete bullshit. They weren't telling me what they were going to write about. They weren't telling me any dates or details."
The Columbia Journalism Review report, while overwhelmingly sympathetic to the emotional attraction felt by Erdely in reporting the false story, demonstrates conclusively that recklessness lay at the heart of the story. That will be difficult for Rolling Stone to disprove.

Open Thread: Friends and Family and Everyone Else
Here's a place to talk about the relationships in your life whenever you want.
Three years ago, doctors told my close friend Betsy Davis that her body was going to soon fail her in every way. I had met her through friends in our 20s at The Brewery in downtown L.A., a scrappy-fabulous old brewery-turned artists' loft campus. We'd dated the same guy, and thus became fast friends, ripping up lands from the Coachella music fest to Venice restaurants to the Kentucky Derby (my turf).
The diagnosis was ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease. She would lose the ability to swallow, breathe and move her arms and legs. Her art—she laser-cut plastic into exquisite abstract sculptures, and was a genius graphic designer—became increasingly more difficult to create. During those years, though, she fast-tracked joy. She hit countries on her bucket list and forbid friends to cry around her. She moved to Ojai and hired a woman to help her execute her art, verbally explaining to her how to draw what she was hungry to express on paper.
She died last month. She chose not only to take advantage of California's new Right to Die act, but to do so in the context of a thoroughly thought-out party celebrating her life, her art, her friends and love. She gave away her art and her clothes. I left with a crystal necklace that made me horribly sad, and a heightened sense of confusion.

When I got home from the trip, I had a difficult time looking my precious 4-year-old daughter in the eye; it's as if grief was lurking behind a clear window, and I didn't want her to even get near that sill.
Now, a month later, after the tears and the spiritual soul-searching and confusion and shock, I'm finding the experience has shed a new brilliance and fearlessness upon the way I approach the lives of my daughter and younger son. Thanks to Betsy's example, life presents itself now as a quick chance to rock some major joy. I live in Brooklyn, where parents can be very focused on learning and accomplishments. But now I'm seeing life for my children and myself more as a space to fill with contentment, generosity, light, humor, gratitude, generosity and joy. Period.
Before Betsy died she did a brief Q and A with me to the best of her ability, and it speaks volumes to this approach to both myself and my children.
May we all enjoy being silly, imperfect human beings.
Jamie Luke: What is your advice to your loved ones?Betsy Davis: Do not miss me, but rather let the qualities that you admire in me grow larger in you. (They all know that my death is not the end of my adventures.)
What is your message to children?Have more courage than fear…and be kind.
Would you do anything about your life differently?I have thought about this, and quite frankly, I wouldn't. I learned from my mistakes.
What's next?The great unknown! The best way to travel.
What will you wear as an angel?I'm guessing there's an official uniform?
And what will be your first act?Put on my uniform. Then, keep Trump away from the White House.
What does your next world look like?I'll let you know when I get there.
What will you come back as?I'm finished with Earth.
What is the best medicine?Besides champagne and medical marijuana, definitely laughter; the first two help with the third, obviously.
What are your parting words to this world?Well, I don't have any great insight on life now, no wise words to impart. I will say that this universe is far too vast for any one thing to be important. Yet, we're all living our lives the best way we can. So, enjoy the Now. And thanks for the blip of time I've had being a silly, imperfect human being.

Convicted of murder and eluding authorities for weeks, Andrew Obregon set to learn his fate
KENOSHA COUNTY — 34-year-old Andrew Obregon of Bristol, once considered one of Kenosha County's most notorious fugitives will be sentenced on Tuesday, April 4th. This, after he pleaded guilty to six felonies in January — accused of killing a man in 2015 and then eluding authorities for weeks. He faced 32 criminal charges in all.
Obregon in January agreed to plead guilty to the following charges:
- First-degree intentional homicide
- Attempted first-degree intentional homicide
- Vehicle operator flee/elude officer (three counts)
- Armed robbery, use of force
26 other charges filed against Obregon were dismissed and read-in to the court record.
Officials said this may be the most in-depth, time-consuming investigation in the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department's history. Andrew Obregon was able to evade deputies for weeks by hiding in fields of corn. He'll likely never be free again.
"This entire situation will be remembered by this generation of people forever," said Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth.
As part of the January plea deal, Obregon pleaded guilty to shooting and killing Tywon Anderson on September 19th, 2015. He spent weeks on the run after that crime.
Obregon was charged with stealing cars, burglaries and evading law enforcement in connection with several high-speed chases — continually escaping in rural fields with high corn.
"Life changed in southeast Wisconsin for that three weeks," said Beth.
Schools went on lockdown, and doors were kept locked until October, when a woman checking on an empty property found Obregon — and was beaten.
Obregon fled in the woman's car. The victim called 911 and Obregon was eventually captured after one more chase in Illinois.
"It was as if we won the Super Bowl. A lot of high fiving, and it was done," Beth said.
Obregon was extradited back to Wisconsin, to face over 30 charges. As part of the guilty plea, the number dropped to just six.
"From what I was told he has an exposure of life in prison and 150 years, so my guess is Andy Obregon will likely never come out of prison," said Beth.
There is one last chapter in this story — sentencing. Obregon will learn his fate on Tuesday.

This is most certainly not your average mac and cheese. Why even do that? I don't get anything average any way.
This whole dish, from putting the water on to boil until you pull it out of the oven, takes about 50 minutes. With the last 30 being totally hands off, house smelling of good things minutes. It's a cold winter's night dish, a party dish, a date night but I made this for the kids dish, the today was totally the worst dish. And maybe even the occasional hangover dish. It's sophisticated enough to serve with a bitter green salad and something bubbly and homey enough, well, for everyone.
Personally, I think the key to a good mac and cheese is the crunchy topping. The favorite flavor profile in my house is a smoky, slightly spicy topping. I have found a great spice mix from Savory Spice called Red Rocks Hickory Smoke Seasoning.
I have used a little ground chipolte and sweet paprika in the past but this one particular mix seems to hit all the right notes. As always, experiment with what you love. For my Princeton friends, the Momo's make a great focaccia spice mix (the same one they use at Teresa's in the dipping oil) which is sold at Witherspoon Bakery. Totally different but amazing, too.
mac and cheese
1 lb shaped macaroni (I love Cavatappi)
4 c + 1 c shredded aged cheddar (I love Tillamook)
4 T butter
1/4 c + 1 T flour
1 T dijon mustard
2 T + 1/2 t spice mix
2 T creme fraiche
3 cups 2% milk
1 1/4 c panko breadcrumbs
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400º
Start a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta until really really al dente. Drain and place in a casserole dish.
While the pasta water is going, start your roux. Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan over med-high heat. Add the flour and whisk together until a loose ball starts to form.
Add the milk, making sure to scrape all of the pan to get any pockets of roux that may be hiding on the bottom/side. Continue to cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Once your béchamel has thicken properly, add the mustard, season with salt and pepper, and all the creme fraiche.
Taste and check for seasonings, keeping in mind that the cheese has quite a bit of sodium. Add 1/2 of your spice mix and taste again.
Add 4 cups of the cheese and whisk until smooth over medium heat.
In a separate bowl, combine the panko, 1 cup of shredded cheese and remaining 2 T of spice mix.
Mix the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce and spread the panko/cheese topping over the dish.
Cook until browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Anything you can see, you can photograph! Insufficient light makes some camera's automatic exposure control system put a signal in the viewfinder so you wont press the shutter release — some even disengage the shutter-button so that pressing it does nothing. But the camera isn't smarter than you are! You can out-think it and get excellent natural light photographs even when the "eye" doesn't think you can.
Minimum exposure — the least that produces detail in shadows is usually best for your pictures. The shortest useful exposure permits you to close down the diaphragm for maximum depth of field or to speed up the shutter to minimize the chance of unsharpness due to camera shake. Overexposure can destroy highlight details.
In contrasty light or in night scenes, don't trust a general meter reading from camera position. Whenever possible, make close-up readings of important picture areas and either average them or expose for the most important area. A general reading, when contrast is high, may be influenced too much by either large light or large dark areas and so give a reading that is not correct for the most important picture areas.
An exposure change may be necessary in stage photography when the spot or other lights on the performers change color — even though you may not notice the change in brightness. There is no rule of thumb except to learn the proper exposure for a white stage light by measurement or experience and then open up a stop or so when the light changes color. Bracketing several exposures is recommended.
Underexposure is a lesser fault than overexposure. Loss of highlight detail, which results from overexposure, is more offensive in the final picture than the dark shadow areas and extra saturation that result from underexposure. It's best, of course, to expose correctly. But, if you're going to err, try to err on the side of underexposing your image. When in doubt, don't risk blowing it out.
When achieving good white balance is difficult due to varying colors of artificial light in a scene, try for warmer than normal tones rather than cooler. If there's to be a color shift, aim for a shift toward the red end of the spectrum rather than blue. Unless there's a specific mood you're going for where a cooler toned image is what's needed, images that are too warm tend to look more appealing than images that are too cool — especially if people are visible in the image.
Don't forget slow shutter speeds when you need extra depth of field for natural light photography. Tripods, table tops, and other camera supports are too often neglected by natural light photographers who feel they must make all exposures hand-held if they don't have a tripod with them.
The cheapest success insurance you can buy when it comes to natural light photography is bracketed exposures. Make the first exposure at the setting you think is right; follow up with one at half that exposure and another at twice that exposure. One of these should be about right. If you keep notes, you will soon learn to guess right the first time. But, even well-experienced pros often bracket their exposures when shooting natural light photography in tricky situation — even though they usually correctly estimate the proper exposure the first time. It never hurts to have insurance. And, the best of the best will sometimes still get it wrong.
A tiny key-chain flashlight should always be kept handy. It's invaluable for helping to set camera controls in low-light areas, and for allowing your camera to auto-focus when it has difficulty doing so because of a lack of sufficient light. If your lens is "hunting" when attempting to auto-focus, shine your flashlight on an object that is at the same distance from the camera as what you wish to photograph and auto-focus off of the lighted area.
For unusual angle shots, table tripods with ball-joint heads can also be braced against walls, door jambs, and even your own chest to steady slow-speed exposures.
Exposure readings in very dim light can be made from the surface of a white card or handkerchief, which usually reflect enough light to give meter-readings. Use five times the indicated exposure when this method is used.
A picture from a TV screen should be exposed for no less than 1/30 second. Since the TV image is "painted" by a moving electron beam, a shorter exposure would give an incomplete image.
Sharp hand-held shots at slow speeds are facilitated by attaching to the camera's tripod socket a chain long enough to reach from the eye-level of the camera to the ground. By stepping on the bottom end of the chain and pulling up on the camera enough to make the chain taut, you can hold the camera steady without the bother of setting up a tripod.

What our students are saying
"The MSEd Information Technology program at Western Oregon University continues to open doors for me. Because of the skills and theory I learned in the program, I was offered a job as an instructional designer before graduation. Masters level programs are only as good as their faculty, and I have found WOU faculty to be responsive and approachable. Their encouragement has resulted in multiple conference presentations, a strong portfolio, and solid relationships with my colleagues. If I were a student who was solely focused on the quality of instruction I would receive, my goal would be met. As a student who wants to be competitive in my field, I have found faculty support and instruction that continues to stretch me to become a true professional." -Tamara Mitchell

Asset Protection Information Simply changing the legal title to a living trust with a generic name is an Asset Protection plan that may work for some creditors, but not most. Many legal finance experts insist that a better Asset Protection Plan is an irrevocable trust or total sale of the residence. Another Asset Protection Strategie consideration is whether or not the asset protection will easily convert the asset to money. Offshore trusts and offshore bank accounts are options in this circumstance. Offshore Asset Protection is effective because the asset is outside the control of any local court, so the debtor can t be ordered to bring the Asset Protection back to the United States.

She was a two-term chairwoman of the Baltimore Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation. She was appointed her first four-year term in 1983 by then-Mayor William Donald Schaefer. Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke reappointed her.
"She was a wonderful person who dearly loved the city and volunteered to serve on various boards and commissions to help improve the quality of life for the city," Mr. Schmoke said. "She will be especially missed by the art and architectural community of the city. I send my prayers and condolences to her family."

Private Members Motion on Health
Deputy Pat Breen: The biggest threat to the health service of our nation is the doom and gloom merchants on the Opposition benches who constantly question the Government's record on health, despite their party's dreadful record in that Department.
It is acknowledged that 2014 will be another challenging year for the health services, in particular, taking into account the savings of €619 million which must be achieved. In spite of the fact that the HSE must operate with fewer resources and fewer staff, it has managed to make real progress. For example, the mid-west hospital group in my region has seen a number of positive developments such as the commencement of the colorectal screening programme in Ennis and the neonatal screening programme in Limerick. A total of 7,472 additional in-patients and 11,094 outpatients were treated in the system. There is no denying the bottle-neck at the accident and emergency department at the Mid-West Regional Hospital at Limerick.
It is particularly acute at this time of the year when, traditionally, there is a peak in the number of people attending emergency departments. Hospitals in Northern Ireland and the UK have witnessed similar increases since Christmas. However, the situation in the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick could be alleviated by reducing the disruption and extending the hours of operation of the services in Ennis. The idea of developing local injuries clinics and medical assessment units was to reduce the need for patients to present themselves at emergency departments.
The medical assessment unit in Ennis was closed for three and a half days earlier this month when the senior doctor who was scheduled to be on duty in the unit was off sick and there was nobody there to replace him, forcing Clare patients to travel to Limerick and putting the service there under further pressure. I am glad the HSE intends to promote greater use of these units this year. However, in order to do so, it is important it puts a staffing procedure in place in Ennis which will minimise any further disruption. In addition, the medical assessment unit in Ennis should be open on a seven-day basis which would eliminate the need for some patients to travel to Limerick at weekends.
The problems in the accident and emergency department in Limerick are causing a lot of distress and upset for patients and their families and for the staff who are working there. The solution is to have a new emergency department up and running as soon as possible. I understand that while work is well underway on the new facility, it could be 2016 before it is operational. It should be fast tracked. I put that question to Ms Ann Doherty and I know they will do their very best to open the new emergency department, hopefully, at the end of 2015.
I constantly receive complaints from constituents about the length of time they have to wait at accident and emergency departments. Given that this facility will not be opened in the short term, I urge the HSE to open additional beds in the interim to alleviate the situation.
I have always argued that a separate paediatric emergency department should be available in Limerick hospital given that paediatric services are no longer provided in Ennis. It is not acceptable that sick children who are attending the accident and emergency department must wait in the same area with adults, in particular at night and at weekends when the accident and emergency department is overcrowded with people coming from pubs and nightclubs being treated. I understand the HSE plan for 2014 envisages the development of an interim paediatric accident and emergency department and I urge it to proceed with that facility as soon as possible.
The Minister has an ambitious plan for our health service. He does not have the luxury of resources which the previous Administration had but in spite of this, he has embarked on a programme of reform which is delivering real and tangible results and I commend him on his work. I urge the Opposition to end the charade of political opportunism and to work with the Government to deliver a better health service to our people.
Yesterday, I attended a briefing by HSE mid-west in Limerick. I understand the local service plan hopes to keep the same service this year. We were told by the director that it was an ambitious project. Given the limited resources and reduction in funding, it has put a plan in place which will try to keep the same service we had in 2013. I commend the local HSE in that regard.

Man, no one told me having a kid takes up so much time!
Despite the fact that I haven't written a damn thing for 2 and a half years, rest assured that we HAVE been busy….very busy in fact!
While Bella has kept our lives more interesting, she hasn't reduced our travel, or even my photography taking time. That being said, she has had somewhat of an impact on my photo processing time. So I now have thousands and thousands of photos, sitting unloved in my Lightroom catalog, that are just waiting to be processed, documented, uploaded and shared with the world. I thought that getting back into the blog might help me get focused again and give me an outlet to share some new projects.
I also have some new toys, and have learned some new tricks! I've been really doing a lot of work with video, which I hope to share here as well. I've been playing with a new toy called the Syrp Genie for timelapse, and I'm planning a pretty large scale project around the city of London that I hope to get started on shortly.
Lots going on! And I'm looking forward to resurrecting this thing!

Asynchronous Event Notification (AEN)
Asynchronous Event Notification (AEN) - Note: this is now referred to as Asynchronous Event Reporting (AER).
Asynchronous Event Notification (AEN) is a process or procedure that may be used by SCSI targets to notify a SCSI initiator of "events" that occur in the target, when the target is NOT executing an Active Process (a command). An example of an "event" could be a Unit Attention caused by removing a CD or DVD from a player or recorder (medium is removed). These events normally result in a Contingent Allegiance Condition (CAC). Without AEN, the initiator will not know of any events until it tries to send another command, or another command is processed from the queue.
The hard part of AEN involves the target becoming a "temporary initiator" and being able to use the SEND command to tell an initiator about the event. This initiator would also have to become a "temporary target" to be able to receive this report. Since devices rarely change rolls, especially initiators, this is a seldom used feature of the SCSI world.
But the good news is, with the advent of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), parts of the infrastructure, called SAS Expanders, have the capability to send and receive "broadcasts" – which can be used to notify "management processes" about different types of events. This can be loss of synchronization on a link, a link that comes up or goes down, and the ability to send SCSI event notifications. Expanders usually also contain another function called a SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) device. This can also enhance the system by monitoring things like air flow, temperature, and backplane voltages.
If you have any questions about this just let me know by leaving a comment on this page.

How to leverage social and content marketing for the future of PR
PR is the new SEO. Today, it is imperative that you are consistently sharing original content across a spread of mediums in order to come up on Google Search Engine Results pages. With a diverse array of online, print and digital channels, the nature of communications is changing rapidly.
In short, there are three main types of coverage:
- Content Coverage (Earned Media): Media Relations, Influencer Outreach, Bylined, Syndicated Stories
- Content Broadcasting (Owned Media): Social Media and Email
- Paid Media: Advertorials and Sponsored Posts
An integrated communications strategy ensures consistent messaging across all platforms. However, it's important to not just create content for the sake of creating content. Rather, develop compelling stories that truly engage your audiences in a way that is customary and successful for each channel.
Plan where and how you'll promote it to produce maximize results. You can take the same story and repurpose it to leverage content across all of these platforms. For example, you could take a blog story that is successful on your company homepage and turn it into an infographic to share on a visual social media channel like Facebook.
How are you leveraging your content for different channels?

So Essies Mint Candy Apple is a tad too expensive for a girl that doesn't wear nail polish very often. So the Sinful Colors 'Mint Apple seemed up my street. The nail polish is imported from the states where some of the best makeup originates from. They retail at the price of £1.99. Bargain! So it won't break the bank. The colour pay off was really nice and needed 2 coats at the most but 1 coat was more than enough. The colour selection is varied from Glitter nail enamel to Pearl nail enamel. From shimmer nail enamel to matte nail enamel and cream nail enamel.
To buy my nail polish in Mint Apple.
Location: Boots.com -> Home -> Sinful Colors -> Sinful Nail Polish -> SinfulColors Cream Nail Enamel.
Overall I think it's a fabulous nail polish for its price.
A must buy!

Out of all the limited/seasonal brews that Bell's makes this, what they've dubbed as an "American dubbel", is one of their most rare with it's approx. 4 week brewing period. It's also one of the most interesting in the long and delicious lines of the company too and as any Bell's fan knows that's saying a lot.
Dark brown in color with a pinky finger size head that doesn't stick around very long but does leave a thin frost on the windows type of lace all the way through drinking. Roasted malt, smokey maplewood and caramel are the dominant aromas with a slight nip of spicy alcohol in there as well. The texture of the brew itself is smooth but not too thick allowing all kinds of complexities to appear in the taste from start to finish. Up front it's almost like coffee but tempered with the flavors of dark cherries. Toffee and vanilla characteristics have a huge presence in the middle but are also split with a very distinct roasted malt taste. The sweet and lingering finish/aftertaste has hints of black licorice but nothing that would bum out those who don't like the taste of black licorice.
Growing up in Michigan and being planted here still now to who knows when I've gotten used to this time of the year when the signs of a snowy, long, cold & reeking havoc on my home heating bill winter is just up the block and waiting patiently to make it's presence known. Things like Hell hath No Fury make such news a little easier to take.

March 24, 2015 11:54 ET
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Mar 24, 2015) - Lucite International, owner of the LuciteLux® acrylic brand, today opened the call for entries for its third annual JUST IMAGINE Awards (JIA) program at GlobalShop 2015 in booth #3510. The JIA celebrate the work of designers who turn their creative vision into reality using LuciteLux® acrylic.
A distinguished panel of judges, who represent excellence in design, will critique JIA entries. New to the roster this year is Alexis Bittar, whose sculptural jewelry is worn by the likes of Michelle Obama and Lady Gaga. His love affair with LuciteLux® acrylic transcends his global jewelry empire. In fact, as part of Bittar's recent 25th anniversary celebration, he commissioned four prominent contemporary artists to create original artwork using the material.
"I believe LuciteLux® offers endless creative possibilities; I've been working with the material for a quarter century and am still finding new ways to manipulate it," said Bittar. "I look forward to judging this year's entries so I can see how other designers imagine LuciteLux®."
Bittar is known for his labor-intensive seven-part process that involves hand-carving, hand-painting and hand-polishing clear and frosted LuciteLux® acrylic. You can read more about Bittar's history with the material on the LuciteLux® blog.
Lucite International will celebrate the 2015 JIA winner with a full-page spread in Architectural Record as well as a making-of documentary that tells the story of the designer's work with LuciteLux®. The JIA prize package is valued at nearly $30,000.
Aaron R. Thomas LuciteLux® Design Clinic
Known for bespoke furniture and retail displays, Aaron R. Thomas is a leading designer who creates attention-getting installations using LuciteLux®. Thomas is hosting a LuciteLux® Acrylic Design Clinic at GlobalShop 2015. Visitors to the booth have the opportunity to connect with Thomas to discuss everything from design inspiration and mixing acrylic with other materials to manipulating it into any shape or size and delivering full-scale interior solutions. He will also co-host a presentation of "Acrylic for Architectural Specification," the AIA accredited Continuing Education Unit course with the LuciteLux® team during the show. Interested parties can sign up here.
Also on Display in the LuciteLux® Booth
GlobalShop attendees can explore the full line of colors and effects for a variety of retail-related applications. They can see practical examples of LuciteLux® acrylic used with the very latest LED technology and ultra-slim profile frames to create crystal clear graphics. They can also view an eye-catching sculpture of the Statue of Liberty, which uses precision laser-cut layers of LuciteLux® acrylic sheets; its creators are LuciteLux® fabrication partners, who will be on hand to talk about the ease and flexibility of working with the acrylic material.
"GlobalShop presents what's trending right now in retail design and offers inspiration at every corner, making it the ideal event to announce our JIA call for entries," said Chris Robinson, business manager for acrylic sheet products at Lucite International. "We're also excited to talk with designers about how we can color match LuciteLux® acrylic sheet to any shade in the spectrum -- helping them create imaginative concepts tailor made for their retail environments."
JUST IMAGINE Awards Details
The company began accepting JUST IMAGINE Awards entries today via www.lucitelux.com and will continue to do so through September 18, 2015. Entering is easy. Participants can simply upload an image of a project using LuciteLux® between 2013 and 2015 and answer three questions to be eligible.
Additional JIA judges include: Aaron R. Thomas; Anne-Louise Ewen, fine artist and LuciteLux® painter/sculptor; Jason Kelly Johnson and Nataly Gattegno, architects and founders of Future Cities Lab; Ron Labaco, Marcia Docter curator for the Museum of Arts & Design; and Chris Robinson, business manager, Lucite International, Inc.

Fast forward to 2013, and I receive word that they have moved locations! Sadly, I'm not out in Greenfield that often, normally cruising past it on my way to the booming metropolis of Shirley. However, a few weeks ago, I got the urge to drive to Hancock County and check out their new location.
First things first: Do not trust your cell phone navigation. For some reason, both Siri and Google Maps want to bring you to their old location, even if you click off of their location on Facebook. Their new location is on State Road 9, in the same strip mall as the Hallmark (hey, it's what I know!) and behind the Taco Bell (also what I know!). If you're coming from Indy, hop onto I-70 East, hop off on State Road 9 and go south (right) and they'll be a few miles down, if that far.
In their old review, I mentioned that one thing I liked about their shop was the character it had. It didn't seem as sterile as many of the strip mall comic shops I've visited. Luckily, their new location, despite being in a strip mall, still doesn't feel sterile, and maintains a lot of the character their old shop had, just with much wider aisles. They have so much more room now, and it's all on one level, with their gaming section in the back room. No longer do you have to go up a small flight of steps to get to the store, or down a small flight to get to the gaming area.The shop takes good advantage of the space as well, filling it full of comic books, trade paperbacks, games, toys, supplies, and collectibles. They have really set themselves up to be the one-stop shop in Greenfield, that is also a great asset to those on the far east side of Indianapolis. While I was there, there was a lot of people in the gaming area, taking advantage of one of their scheduled games, and they had a steady flow of folks coming in, looking for books, games, and cards. Donald and Frances Hull (the owners) are really great people, who didn't lynch me when I walked in for not updating their blog post over the course of the past year. I had a great conversation with them once more on this visit, and I'm more convinced than ever that this is a great place for people to visit!
Here's what you need to know:
- Who are they? Hometown Comics and Games
- Where are they? 1506 N. State Road 9 Greenfield, IN 46140
- What are their hours? Monday through Thursday they're open from 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Friday from 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM, Saturday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
- What is their phone number, if I get lost? 317-467-9050
- How can I find them online? You can visit their website, haunt their Twitter feed, or keep an eye on their Facebook page.
Check them out, and let them know I sent ya!
