Next-generation tagging
January 4th, 2012 by Terry Jones. Filed under Essence, Tagging.
In 2003, Joshua Schachter released Delicious, and brought tagging to the web. Delicious gave normal users a place to store and share their information about any web page. By January 2007, a Pew Internet & American Life Project study had found that 28% of online Americans had used tagging. As offered by Delicious, and popularized by sites such as Flickr and Technorati, basic tagging has three fundamental properties:
- You can tag any URL.
- You don't have to ask permission.
- Shared public tagging creates social value
Most fundamentally, tagging made the web more writeable. This changed our perception of the web itself, from something that was almost entirely read-only to something where we were suddenly invited to contribute. The change was a cornerstone of what Tim O'Reilly dubbed "Web 2.0". It's what Fred Wilson describes as "giving every person a voice". Fred quotes Ev Williams, a Twitter founder, who says "society has not fully realized what this means". One view of Twitter is that it offers a form of simple self-tagging. Viewing tagging as low-friction publication of small pieces of information about things, Twitter has done for people what Delicious did for URLs.
Tagging with Fluidinfo
The model of information in Fluidinfo takes tagging to a new level. Over the last three months we've been hard at work building a user interface (UI) to make this possible. The two main additional properties of tagging with Fluidinfo are:
- You can tag anything at all, not just URLs.
- Tags can optionally be given values.
Tagging is too powerful an idea to be restricted to just URLs or people. It should be possible to tag anything. And, as you'll see below, tags with values are powerful and natural. We tag with values in the non-digital world all the time.
Tag anything at all
Every day each of us encounters thousands of things that are not URLs. With Fluidinfo you can tag anything you can name. You can tag songs, movies, and books – just put the name into the box at the top of the Fluidinfo page, hit RETURN, and you'll be looking at the page for that thing in Fluidinfo. If you're logged in, you can add tags. Look at what pops up on the left to see other information about the object. You can also tag a product name, an email address, a person's name, an IP address, a license plate number, a place name, flight numbers, a word or phrase, a zip code, a stock symbol, a latitude/longitude pair, a Twitter @name or #hashtag, taxi medallion numbers, time/date combinations, phone numbers, a DNA sequence, a chess position or a Sudoku puzzle, etc. To get to the Fluidinfo object for something, just visit http://fluidinfo.com/about/something. The easiest way to jump to the Fluidinfo page for something you see on the web is via a browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Safari). Just right-click on a link, an image, on selected text, or on the page itself, and jump straight to that thing in Fluidinfo.
Tag with values
With Fluidinfo, you can provide a value when tagging. Tagging with values will seem new to many people, but it's actually not new at all. Look at the luggage tag image above. It has (implicitly) a 'destination' tag with a value of 'JFK', it has a tag named 'Flight number' with a value of 222, a tag named 'Row' with a value of 3, a 'Sorting Symbol' with value 'B' and something else whose value is 821474. Those tag names and values are all put on the same physical tag because they're related, and it makes sense that they travel together, attached to the luggage. So, far from being new, tagging with values simply provides us with something familiar which has always existed in the physical world of tagging.
To give some examples in Fluidinfo, I have put a 'rating' tag onto Gone With the Wind with a value of 4. A tag value can be anything at all: a comment, a set of keywords, 'longitude' and 'latitude' tags with numeric values, even arbitrary data (e.g., some HTML, an image, a PDF file).
Most interesting, a tag value can be a URL (or list of URLs). You might tag an image with a value that is the URL of another image. You might put a 'for-dad' tag onto something with a value pointing to a video. In the Fluidinfo UI, tag values that are URLs are shown as simplified embedded pages or images.
Examples of things in Fluidinfo
Here are links to a variety of things in Fluidinfo. Take a look at the list of links on the left of each page. These are 'views' of the data, either from different sources or displayed in different ways. If you log in, you'll be able to add your own tags.
- The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I've added a collection of cover images via a tag whose value is list of URLs.
- Desert Island Discs. Russell Manley has added his selection of favorites using tag values that are URLs.
- Sphero. Russell (rustlem) has tagged it to say he wants one and has added an image and a video.
- Using the @name convention, here's my object (@terrycojones). See the map? It appears automatically because I added latitude and longitude tags showing where I misspent my youth (in Sydney), and where I am now (in New York).
- The #occupy hashtag. You can see Paul Kedrosky mentioned this hashtag on Twitter on 2011/10/19 and that I mentioned it on 2011/11/17.
- Nova Spivack's insightful tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/novaspivack/status/4999653280. Twitter annotations, anyone?
- The Shawshank Redemption.
- Black Hole Sun (Soundgarden song).

What the hell is this? Why Bailey?
Nice call by the manager. Why would he be sacrificing in that situation? That was confusing.
that could be the worst managerial call of the season!
Frazier finally gets a chance to play everyday and goes all Rolen on us.
Dusty probably wants one more inning by Bailey
we have to be the dumbest team in sports history. leaving bailey into hit with a game on the line.
dumb move baker. dumb...
What is Bailey's pitch count?
Haha. Reckon why Dusty has 1,500 wins and has never won a World Series?

Who's in the mood for Swedish meatballs? [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]ABBA[/lastfm] is releasing an album on April 23rd. No foolin! This will be the first time since 1994 the group put out a NEW song. Well, it's not exactly "new." But, it IS new to you!
While the album will be a re-release of "The Visitors"from 1981, there will be a bonus track. It's called "From a Twinkling Star to a Passing Angel," and it's NEVER been released. The song is actually from a demo recorded 31 years ago.
Other things to look forward to:
- Six previously-released bonus tracks
- A DVD with unreleased footage, including their final live performance on BBC's Late Late Breakfast Show in 1982.
One of the things I find interesting is how everyone loves ABBA…but, NOBODY will admit it! So, let's all "secretly" enjoy some of their best videos.

Partly Cloudy
Which plan to repair America's healthcare system do you prefer: the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare?
This is what Jimmy Kimmel Live correspondents asked unsuspecting pedestrians Monday. Apparently, not too many people on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles were aware that they are both the same thing as Kimmel explained to his audience.
Watch "Six of One - Obamacare vs. The Affordable Care Act" below. Kimmel's crew found plenty of people who opposed Obamacare calling it "un-American" but approved the Affordable Care Act.
But it's not just people in Hollywood that are confused. A recent CNBC poll found that 46 percent of Americans oppose Obamacare but 37 percent oppose ACA.
According to Mediaite.com , this proves what pundits like Chuck Todd and others have been saying that the Obama Administration has made a mistake in embracing the "Obamacare" label as it politicizes something that should be above politics.

Photographer's Note
This is a common image in Baixa district at the night time.
The Pombaline Baixa is an elegant district, primarily constructed after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. It takes its name from Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquess of Pombal, the Prime Minister to Joseph I of Portugal from 1750 to 1777 and key figure of the Enlightenment in Portugal, who took the lead in ordering the rebuilding of Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake. The Marquis of Pombal imposed strict conditions on rebuilding the city, and the current grid pattern strongly differs from the organic streetplan that characterised the district before the Earthquake.

Hi, Daniel,
Excellent nocturnal composition! I like this black&gold combination, good perspective, fine DoF. Thanks for the presentation of Lisboa. This is one of the cities what I'd like to visit. TFS!
Best wishes,

Hi Daniel,
This night shot is a little bit creepy. Oh, just kidding, because the street is so empty. And the street lights are lonely. But the golden tone on the wet surface is very nice.
Gigidusud (21669) 2014-02-10 8:01
Hi Daniel,
Very nice golden tones, splendid reflections on the on the pavement and a great perspective on this street of Lisbon. Well done!
Have a nice week my friend.
snunney (115385) 2014-02-10 8:21
Hello Daniel,
A very attractive night time composition much enhanced by the warmly lit glistening pavement, which stretches as far as the eye can see. Carefully exposed and having good colours and sharpness. Thanks for sharing.

Salut Daniel, imi place foarte mult imaginea. Exact cum ma asteptam sa fie Lisabona. Imi plac tonurile portocalii.

Hi Aleksander,
Beautiful golden light well captured, I like the great depth and the brightness, tfs.

Bel effet lumineux et coloré sur les pavés luisants. je l'aurais peut-être tentée en version carrée en coupant en dessous du premier lampadaire très lumineux?
Kamilutka (8107) 2014-02-11 0:53
Hello Daniel,
I like this night view very much. The street looks like made of gold in this light. All the details and the structure of the cobbled pavement have been shown in very nice way. It must have been right after rain, because the street look wet and shiny which adds very much to the scene.
Good POV and depth.
Thanks for sharing
saxo042 (38014) 2014-02-11 7:47
Hi Daniel,
A very good perspective with all the lines that meet at the focal point far away. The golden colours dominate the scene and the reflections in the wet paving stones are very attractive. A peaceful street scene, where are all the people?
Kind regards

Hi Daniel
Lovely night image of this beautiful city. I really like the way the cobbles reflect the light.
Best wishes

Hi Daniel,
I like the snakeskin pattern formed by the tiles in the pavement and the reflected golden sheen. Good sharpness and textbook use of diminishing linear perspective and vanishing point. The blue green fluorescent light from the shop window adds a nice warm cold color contrast. Tfs!
claudeD (43460) 2014-02-13 4:57
Hello Daniel,
excellent night picture from Lisbon with a perfect light managment and sharpness. Really a very good contribution to TE.TFS.

The copper and gold tones of the wet street and shop windows are magnificent. This is a very sharp and well taken piece of night photography.

something that we're not familiar with in terms of photos from Lisbon. Funny too how you say its an elegant district of the city.
attractive mood, works well for me!

Composition and framing are superb, the perspective you are offering us is captivating and its great to discover so many details and textures all the way. There's marvelous interaction between dark and gold tones, the sheen of the light on the ground and the windows is lovely. Your picture is mysterious and inviting at the same time. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,

Installed Air Bag Kit on my '07 F150 about a month ago. Install was quick and easy with hand tools; used an air ratchet to speed the process. Purchased a "T" fitting to join the air lines & simplify filling. Hauled 1 ton of limestone, needing only 75 psi to level truck; the ride was smooth and controlled. Unloaded with the minimum 5 psi, the air springs seem to overcome the "stiction" of the stock leaf springs, easing small bumps and providing a smooth highway ride. Would def buy again.

Hard to say goodbye to a classic
It's tough to let go.
Of that tractor you've loved for so long. This truth was driven home again this week via a phone call I got from a retired farmer in southern Kansas. Seems the caller had quit farming a decade ago, but had held on to his IHC 806 tractor. Now he was kicking around the idea of maybe selling it and putting the money towards other needs.
So he called me wondering how much his IHC 806 was worth.
Now of course current value on a 45-year old tractor depends upon many factors. How many hours does it have on it? How has it been cared for? Was it regularly serviced and shedded? Has it been overhauled or restored? Oh, and one last question I always like to ask...
How long have you owned it?
I've noticed over my 21 years of compiling auction sale price data that used equipment this is "one owner" or "2nd owner" tends to bring more money when it sells. Makes perfect sense. Potential buyers rightly place a premium on having an accurate sense of prior ownership of a used piece of equipment.
So I asked my Kansas caller to tell me about is IHC 806. Loving details poured forth.
He is the 2nd owner, buying the 806 back in 1973 when it had only 611 hours on it. Today it has 8,242 hours and is in excellent original condition (see pictures). The TA is getting a bit weak, certainly not unusual for an 806.
The caller mentioned praying recently about whether it may be the right time to sell the tractor. Days later a phone call from out of the blue, from a guy who used to live in the area. Years ago he inquired about the caller's IHC 806 and if he would ever consider selling it. Now he called back, unprompted, to ask the same question...do you still have that 806 and would you think about selling it?
He offered $8,000.
Back to Machinery Pete, what's the Kansas caller's IHC 806 worth? I jumped into our Machinerypete.com web site and clicked in our "auction results" database. I found 240 sale prices on IHC 806's sold over the last 14 years at auction. I clicked on our "Calculator" pricing tool and found the "Average Auction Sale Price" on 806's so far this year is $4,431. Last year the average sale price was $4,094. Two years ago $5,441. Three years ago $4,953. Ten years ago $4,300.
But my Kansas caller's 806 is a second owner tractor, in very nice shape, so I suggested we zero in on the nicest 806's sold at auction over the last few years. I've highlighted these nicest 806's in the link below, a list of all the 806's I've seen sold going back to 1996:
Is our Kansas guy's 806 worth $8,000? Definitely in the ballpark. Could be worth a tidge more.
A day after we talked on the phone, the caller emailed and thanked me for our conversation and the help with the valuation. He said he'd decided to hold onto his 806 a while longer. Maybe it would be nice to hand it down to one of his kids or grandkids someday. I wasn't too surprised.
It's tough to let go of those we love.

After three years of droughts, Cape Town, South Africa, has set Day Zero—the day the town runs out of water—for April 21, 2018. Cape...
In an unprecedented display of intergovernmental and multi-state collaboration, dozens of government officials and tribal representatives signed a Great Lakes Declaration and a framework document for the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration to restore and protect the Great Lakes ecosystem. Officials in attendance included members of President Bushs cabinet and senior staff, U.S. senators and congressmen, Great Lakes governors, Tribes, mayors, state senators and representatives.
"This is the largest formal collaboration of its kind focused on the
environmental and economic health of the Great Lakes Basin," commented Mike Leavitt, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. "Today, we are committing our collective organizations to protecting and improving this national treasure."
The signers of the Great Lakes Declaration pledged to collaboratively work together toward a common goal of protecting, restoring and improving the Great Lakes ecosystem in order to address the new and continuing challenges and ensure a healthy ecosystem for future generations.
The Great Lakes Regional Collaboration Framework establishes strategy teams, made up of government, quasi-government and other regional stakeholders, as the working bodies responsible for drafting action plans that will be used for the draft Great Lakes strategy. The teams will use the nine priorities identified in October 2003 by the Great Lakes Governors and since adopted by the Great Lakes Mayors and ratified by the Great Lakes Commission as their organizational foundation. This strategy will be presented to the members of the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration for resolution of final issues and adoption at Summit I, scheduled for the summer of 2005.
In May 2004, President Bush signed Executive Order 13340 creating a Cabinet-level Task Force to accelerate the coordination for protection and restoration of the Great Lakes system. The Executive Order directed the Task Force to help convene and establish "a regional collaboration of national significance for the Great Lakes" among the U.S. federal government, the Great Lakes states, local communities, Tribes and other interests in the Great Lakes region.
The Great Lakes constitute the largest freshwater system on earth, containing roughly 20 percent of the worlds fresh water supply. In addition to their natural beauty, the Great Lakes serve as a source of drinking water for more than 30 million people, support the culture and life ways of native communities, form the backbone for billions of dollars in shipping, trade, and fishing and provide food and recreational opportunities for millions of American and Canadian citizens.

Not surprisingly, critics have been praising Pusha's new solo set, My Name Is My Name, in stores Oct. 8. Now fans can stream the album on MySpace and judge for themselves whether this is really Album-of-the-Year, Kanye-rant-worthy. Click through to check out the early reviews.

This Swedish band's 3rd album is another well-crafted set of dreamy electro-pop, incorporating elements of '80s new wave, post-punk, melancholy twee and the softer side of shoegaze into gauzy, melodic songs intricately layered with twinkling synths, atmospheric guitars and occasional strings, horns and woodwinds along with soft, treated vocals. 4/16/2010 - Don Yates

When you cook, solid margarine or butter are not the best choices. Butter is loaded with saturated fat, which can raise your cholesterol. It can also increase your chance of heart disease. Most margarines, on the other hand, have some saturated fat plus trans-fatty acids, which can also be bad for you. Both of these fats have their risks.
If you must use one or the other, some margarines may be better than butter.
Some guidelines for even healthier cooking are:

The gig / sessions agenda is updated. Some nice sessions coming up. Hope to see you at one of them 😉
Gig alert
What we need is love – upcoming on Impact 7″
As mentioned earlier this year, I was lucky to have legendary Impact & Randy's producer Clive Chin in the studio and became involved in his Lost Archives project were he revives riddims from his extensive vault either original unreleased tracks as well as voicing contemporary artists on 70's riddims. Within this framework my musical friend Collieman recorded 'What we need is love' on the Ta teasha's 'Oh Jah Come' riddim by the Wailers. Collieman delivered a kick ass track and I was fortunate to have a go at running the tune through my desk. Mr Chin was happy with the result and my mixes are on it's way to the pressing plant for a 7″ release !!! Wicked stuff, isn't it ? Have a listen to the preview below.
Lost in DUB – free download !!!
For their fifth anniversary Belgian dub crew 'Reservoir Dub' has gathered a nice line up of artists to provide a tune for a free download compilation. It features top names such as Dubmatix, Webcam Hifi, Panda dub … to name but a few. Yourstruely is also present on the compilation with a digital rub a dub tune called 'Stand Strong' with tuff vocals by my brethrin in crime Siamn-I. So get down to the Reservoir Dub site and download the compilation of fine tunes by Belgian and international artists.
Click here to download Lost in dub # 1
Unlisted Fanatic releases on Bandcamp
Joined in with the release of the 'Farmerman Life' video and all the attention it's getting. I decided it was definately needed that the tune was available as a digital download. For the time being I decided to set up a bandcamp account but will go for a distribution through a company so that I can reach Itunes, Amazon, Juno … That will probably join in with a next vinyl release.
I also put Money World & Take I Home releases on Bandcamp. Because of copyright/publishing fees the Barry Heptone & Carlton Livingston tracks are not possible through bandcamp. These will follow on other platforms on a later date.

Farmerman Life THE Video
Last Monday the official video of Collieman's 'Farmerman Life' was launched on youtube. Most of the footage was shot while I was on holiday, so I am kinda abscent in the whole thing 🙂 But that's fine as the storyboard, filming and editing was a joint project of Collieman and Irie-J Productions. They spent an enormous amount of work on it so all kudos to them. They did a wonderfull job if you ask me. Professional stuff and great story.

When the ref says start everyone starts drinking. The winning team is the first team done with all of their beer. Every can must be completely empty. If the ref rules a can is not empty then it must be drank before your team can win. Any spills or throwing up results in a 30 sec penalty added to your total time.
The fastest we've done this is in just under 4 minutes thirty seconds. Try to beat the record.

Media has announced that it is providing
London with internet speeds that are approximately 240 times faster
than the national average.
Virgin Media, a leading broadband provider in the UK, has already used its
cable network to deliver internet speeds of up to 100 MB to residential
customers throughout over half of the UK. Now, Virgin Media is offering internet speeds of up to 1.5 Gb/s,
which is 240 times faster than the national average. Every cable home is
connected to a fiber optic network by a high-grade coaxial line, offering
state-of-the-art technology and speeds. Those around Old Street, aka
"Silicon Roundabout," are the subjects enjoying the 1.5 Gb/s and 150 Mb/s
upload trial, including technology entrepreneurs at TechHub and businesses such
as BespokeBanter.com and soproductions.tv.
"As people are simultaneously connecting more gadgets to the internet and
doing more online than ever before, we wanted to explore what our unique fibre
optic network is capable of," said Jon James, executive director of
broadband at Virgin Media. "At speeds of up to 1.5 Gb/s, Virgin Media is
delivering some of the fastest broadband in
the world and, thanks to our ongoing investment, we're able to anticipate and
lead the way in meeting growing demand for bandwidth as future services and
applications come online."
Virgin Media's network, which utilizes DOCSIS2 technology, offers a
"future-proofed" platform with near infinite capacity, and is capable
of bonding multiple downstream and upstream channels together. They can be used
at the same time by a single user to obtain faster speeds.
"It is fantastic to see the fastest internet speeds in the world over
cable being trialed here in the UK," said Communications Minister Ed
Vaizey. "This exciting development will help attract new companies and
entrepreneurs to the area, bringing new jobs and growth to this part of the
capital. Last year the Prime Minister set out our ambition for London's East
End to become a world-leading technology city to rival Silicon Valley. Developments
like Virgin Media's will help make this ambition a reality."
These speeds have been achieved thanks to a £13 billion private investment by Virgin Media. The UK
hopes to use this technology to support future internet-related endeavors, such
as online education and remote healthcare.

Spending at the U.S. Department of Agriculture will be an estimated inflation-adjusted 43 percent higher this year compared to just a decade ago. The following chart shows the dramatic rise in USDA spending from fiscal 1970 to the president's projection for fiscal 2011:
Downsizing Blog
Federal Budget Cap at 3%
The federal government is approaching its legal borrowing limit, and fiscal conservatives in Congress are wondering what spending reforms they can extract in return for supporting a debt-limit increase. Various sorts of balanced budget amendments and debt limits relative to GDP are being kicked around. I support those ideas, but I fear that they may be too complicated to gain traction right now.
Spending Growth: Nondefense Discretionary
Last week I compared "other mandatory" spending in fiscal 2007 to the president's proposal for fiscal 2012. Several readers requested that I produce a chart showing a similar breakdown for nondefense discretionary spending (or "domestic discretionary").
Video: $61 Billion in Spending Cuts
Congressional Republicans want to reduce fiscal 2011 funding by $61 billion. The Obama adminstration and Senate Democrats believe these cuts are too large. As a result, a two-week continuing resultion was passed to allow the sides to reach an agreement on funding the government for the rest of the year.
Spending Growth: Mandatory Programs
While Congress haggles over Republican ambitions to trim $61 billion in funding for domestic discretionary programs, it's important to remember that mandatory (or "entitlement") spending is the main driver of recent and future budget growth.
Rearranging Chairs on Farmhouse Porch
Mark Bittman had a column on the NYTimes online "Opinionator" blog yesterday on farm subsidies. He included a fairly (but not completely) thorough list of what is wrong with farm subsidies in America, but he ultimately comes down on the side of "fixing" farm subsidies rather than ending them altogether.
Spending Still Increases with GOP Cuts
House Republicans engineered a continuing resolution for fiscal 2011 that would trim $61 billion in "regular" discretionary budget authority versus fiscal 2010. The Obama administration and the Democratic majority in the Senate balked at the cuts, and a two-week continuing resolution will be passed in order to avoid a "government shutdown" and give the sides more time to reach an agreement.
GAO Report on Duplicative Programs
A Government Accountability Office report on duplicative federal programs is prima facie evidence that the government is a bloated mess. For example, there are 82 federal programs involved in teacher quality, 80 programs involved in economic development, and over 100 programs involved in surface transportation.
Medicaid Block Grants
The Washington Post reports that several governors are advocating that Medicaid be converted to a block grant program. Block grants would free the states to experiment with cost-effective ways to provide health care to low-income populations by removing burdensome federal rules and regulations. Giving states a fixed lump-sum payment would also allow federal taxpayer costs to be directly controlled.
Air Traffic Control Errors
New data from the Federal Aviation Administration shows that reported air traffic control errors have increased by 81 percent since 2007. Errors that were most likely to result in a collision or accident jumped 26 percent from 2007 to 2010.


text: So after posting a "basliners how do you play that way" thread http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=470993 and reading the replies which were great especially about the dreaded lob winner, I decided to play as a baseliner. I lost 4-6 in one set and I should have won being up serving at 4-4. Anyhow it was hell. The most frustrating of sets. At least when you are getting passed you are "doing something". I struggled to get my head around sitting back when I had so many chances to end the point. I tried to "play chess" and realized that I am much better at actual chess then tennis chess Challenges: 1. Serve. I wasnt nearly effective with the serve. Mentally it wasnt the weapon it normally was because I was just trying to get it in and start the rally. Also I noticed that when I hit the serve I ALWAYS hit a slice shot on the next shot because I was in a slice grip. With SV that is what you want, but on the baseline it sucked. How do you serve aggressively, and how do you get ready for the next shot? I guess I have to relearn what to do after the serve. 2. Groundies. Ironically the points were just as short when playing as a baseliner as they where when I played sv. That poster who said I need to get better groundstrokes might have been dead on. We played some practice tiebreakers after the set and I got so damn frustrated at losing the set, I just started crushing everything. Played a bunch better. Got more spin and while I was hitting harder the spin brought things down. Several balls were called long that miraculously dropped in. It dawned on me that when I rally I rarely hit out, preferring to keep the rally going. This leads to a weak though consistent shot. Said another way, when I HIT the ball I get more spin and things are often more consistent. But you cant hit out all the time when rallying. Can you?? So how do I get groundies that are good. It seems like it is an either or...Either develop consistent but weaker shots or hit out all the time. Personally I think I would be better off just hitting out. The strokes work better for me that way and I think with much practice I would be a better player, but who will want to put up with that. I have hit with that guy and it sucks. I thought I had a "rally ball" but in that set at least it was just a weak tentative shot. I just "get it in" Also the games I did win it felt more like I didnt win them, I just let the other guy lose them. I'd rather beat someone than just let them beat themselves. Help.

Editor's note: In light of yesterday's tragic elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, we are re-publishing a contributed article from July 23, 2012. Follow our full coverage of the school shooting here.
I've heard it said that, if you take a walk around Waikiki, it's only a matter of time until someone hands you a flyer of scantily clad women clutching handguns, overlaid with English and maybe Japanese text advertising one of the many local shooting ranges. The city's largest, the Royal Hawaiian Shooting Club, advertises instructors fluent in Japanese, which is also the default language of its website. For years, this peculiar Hawaiian industry has explicitly targeted Japanese tourists, drawing them away from beaches and resorts into shopping malls, to do things that are forbidden in their own country.
Waikiki's Japanese-filled ranges are the sort of quirk you might find in any major tourist town, but they're also an intersection of two societies with wildly different approaches to guns and their role in society. Friday's horrific shooting at an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater has been a reminder that America's gun control laws are the loosest in the developed world and its rate of gun-related homicide is the highest. Of the world's 23 "rich" countries, the U.S. gun-related murder rate is almost 20 times that of the other 22.
Almost no one in Japan owns a gun. Most kinds are illegal, with onerous restrictions on buying and maintaining the few that are allowed. With almost one privately-owned firearm per person, America's ownership rate is the highest in the world; tribal-conflict-torn Yemen is ranked second, with a rate about half of America's.
But what about the country at the other end of the spectrum? What is the role of guns in Japan, the developed world's least firearm-filled nation and perhaps its strictest controller? In 2008, the U.S. had over 12 thousand firearm-related homicides. All of Japan experienced only 11, fewer than were killed at the Aurora shooting alone. And that was a big year: 2006 saw an astounding two, and when that number jumped to 22 in 2007, it became a national scandal. By comparison, also in 2008, 587 Americans were killed just by guns that had discharged accidentally.
Japanese tourists who fire off a few rounds at the Royal Hawaiian Shooting Club would be breaking three separate laws back in Japan — one for holding a handgun, one for possessing unlicensed bullets, and another violation for firing them — the first of which alone is punishable by one to ten years in jail. Handguns are forbidden absolutely. Small-caliber rifles have been illegal to buy, sell, or transfer since 1971. Anyone who owned a rifle before then is allowed to keep it, but their heirs are required to turn it over to the police once the owner dies. Even the country's infamous mafia-like Yakuza tend to forgo guns; the few exceptions tend to become big national news stories.
The only guns that Japanese citizens can legally buy and use are shotguns and air rifles, and it's not easy to do. The process is detailed in David Kopel's landmark study on Japanese gun control, published in the 1993 Asia Pacific Law Review, still cited as current. (Kopel, no left-wing loony, is a member of the National Rifle Association and once wrote in National Review that looser gun control laws could have stopped Adolf Hitler.)

The balls were extremely flat and smooth, so much so that I struggled to even control the bounce - but it is footage nonetheless. I would really need to make plan to do this again with newer balls. Anyways...scary how much slower ball movement actually appears on camera. I guess the pro's really must strike the ball well :shock: Would like to hear any feedback guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv0D5q90XFQ&feature=youtu.be

Is New York Ready To Embrace Rats?
Besides being among the "most persuasive portraits of an artist ever committed to film", Times film critic A.O. Scott notes that Ratatouille raises some genuine questions about the nature of genius and the nature of nature. Namely, is the Department of Health, which recently has gone on an anti-rat campaign, stifling potential rodent chefs from achieving their full potential by shuttering New York restaurants where evidence of their kind has been found? We compared products from the beratted Upper East Side Pinkberry with the new downtown one on Spring Street. Our analysis: the "yogurt" at the non-rat version lacked a certain je ne sais quoi. We're pretty sure that had Remy the Ratchef been there, he would have known exactly the right amount of sodium gluconate to add. Between the cute rats at the movies and the knowledge that rats lurk within every kitchen that serves us, will the time soon come that rats are considered merely our friendly fellow diners?

Social-media analytics company Simply Measured's quarterly study of Instagram found that the mobile-only photo-sharing site grew 35 percent among brands in the last quarter, outpacing Google+ and Pinterest.
In total, 54 percent of Interbrand 100 companies are using Instagram, according to Simply Measured.
While last quarter's report highlighted luxury brands, this quarter apparel brands moved into the spotlight. Nike, which ranks fourth among the Interbrand 100 in total Instagram followers, is one of many brands that saw a significant jump in engagement, along with Gap and Adidas.
Much of Nike's success with Instagram can be attributed to cross-posting on Facebook, which now allows users' "likes" on Instagram to appear in their Facebook feed, according to Simply Measured. More than 90 percent of Instagram photos posted by brands were also shared to Facebook, allowing consumers to engage natively on both platforms.

While the warm weather should feel perfect for those vacationing this Labor Day weekend, the air quality may be less than ideal. High levels of ozone have prompted city officials to issue an air quality warning from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. for New York City, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley Regions, the Staten Island Advance reports.
As temperatures rise, ozone levels increase to unsafe and potentially hazardous elevations. For young children, the elderly, people working strenuous jobs outdoors and those afflicted with respiratory conditions such as asthma, poor air quality is especially dangerous. The smog, fine particulates and pollution produced from nearby plants and traffic can build up and negatively impact people's health.
City officials are suggesting that people of all ages consider spending more time indoors. Buildings outfitted with a home air purifier are especially protected against the toxins that can find their way indoors. A unit such as the IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Purifier is a strong investment for individuals who are seeking to breath in healthy air that lacks the level of pollutants commonly found indoors.

Exeter Chiefs 12-12 Bath, Aviva Premiership
Honours even at Sandy Park
December 29, 2012
Exeter earned a share of the points at home to Bath%]
The conversation of a penalty try three minutes from time denied Exeter their first Premiership victory over west country rivals Bath in front of a sell-out crowd of 10,744 at Sandy Park.
Both sides went into the game on the back of defeats with Exeter seeing their run of seven victories halted by a 18-16 defeat at Gloucester while Bath were hammered 22-0 at home to Saracens.
Tom Hayes returned to the second row to lead the Chiefs while Phil Dollman came in at outside centre so James Hanks and Ian Whitten dropped to the bench where they were joined by the return of England international Tom Johnson.
Full back Ollie Devoto made his first Premiership start for Bath while inside centre Matt Banahan, locks Dave Attwood and Ryan Caldwell and number eight Ben Skirving all returned to action for the visitors.
The Chiefs applied the early pressure but conceded silly penalties and when close to the posts they had the ball turned over. Then with 12 minutes on the clock fly-half Gareth Steenson, with the wind at his back, landed the opening penalty.
But the visitors hit back immediately with a try started and finished by scrum half Michael Claassens in the left corner with great support play from wing Tom Biggs and fly-half Steven Donald. Claassens was unable to convert from touchline.
Exeter wasted a try scoring opportunity when full back Luke Arscott made the break through the middle and, with scrum half Hayden Thomas on his right in space, he passed to lock Aly Muldowney who was quickly brought to ground.
The home side were able to create breaks from deep in their own half but unforced errors or penalties were again the Chiefs downfall when they ventured into the Bath 22 allowing the visitors to keep their line intact.
Then, with time already up on the clock, Bath wing Horacio Agulla was penalised for coming in at the side of the ruck and Steenson stepped-up to land his second kick of the game and nudge the Chiefs into a 6-5 half-time lead.
Steenson increased the lead minutes after the restart when Bath repeated the previous offence just before the break but this time Skirving was the culprit. The penalty from the former Ireland under-21 took him past 1,000 points since his Exeter debut in 2008.
The Chiefs were certainly an improved side in the second half at the scrum and the lineout as well as limiting their errors. Bath strayed offside when inside their own 22 and Steenson kept a clean sheet with his fourth penalty kick.
Exeter again showed that they too can defend their own line and with the game going into the final 10 minutes the Chiefs again camped out inside the Bath 22. But when they turned a Bath scrum the home side were penalised for standing up.
Bath won a penalty inside the Exeter 22 and opt to kick for the corner and then the Chiefs were penalised at the ruck. Bath repeated the move and referee David Rose awarded a penalty try. Tom Heathcote added the extras to level the score.
It was a frustrating afternoon for Chiefs' boss Rob Baxter, who had to watch as his side let slip the chance to beat their west country rivals in the Premiership for the first time.
"Whenever a team peg you back that late in the game, specifically when you have quite good control of things, it feels tough," Baxter said. "But there is a reality, I don't think we played well enough in the first half and I don't think our forwards were right on the money.
"We are still unbeaten at home in the Premiership and we are still collecting points as we need to. We are in the top half of the league which is where we want to be. We have to pull our socks-up next week [against Northampton] as we have had a couple of tough fixtures."
Bath coach Toby Booth was satisfied with a result that ends Bath's run of two Premiership defeats, away to Leicester and at home to Saracens even though they remain in the bottom half of the table.
"The resilience and bounce back from last week was really important because it is a test of character," he said. "It is that character that get you through the dark months and get through to the other side.
"We kept our resolve and our determination to establish field position. To keep the ball for long periods of time and then capitalise on it was important. Everyone talks about how well Exeter attack, and they do, but we out-scored them two tries to nil and that is a good tick in the box for us."

Standardized bibliographic data input, utilizing MARC formats, insures the integrity of the online public catalog in storage and retrieval of information. When we talk about MARC, we hope to convey its importance to those who create and maintain MARC data in the online public catalog. Without good, accurate MARC records, patrons cannot find the great resources in the library. An OPAC, to some extent, hides the intricacies of MARC from the patron, but without MARC, the patron would not find the resources. MARC format cataloging has proven, for over thirty years, to be the most reliable foundation in building databases for the OPAC. This tutorial is a first step toward training library personnel in the particulars of MARC tags, indicators, fields, and subfields, and why each part is significant in the creation of the bibliographic record.
The MARC 21 training tutorial provides a means to study and practice bibliographic standards in descriptive and subject cataloging for machine-readable formats incorporating MARC 21 coding. These standards are utilized by all libraries, academic, public and school, and the automated library systems that support online catalogs.
This tutorial is made possible with permission from the Library of Congress, and Follett Software Company who developed Understanding MARC Bibliographic: Machine-Readable Cataloging.
The intended audience is library science students, as well as library cataloging personnel. The tutorial provides support for cataloging courses, taught either through distance learning opportunities or via the Internet. In addition, the tutorial is suitable for practicing librarians, who wish to update their knowledge of cataloging in the electronic environment, or to use as a tool for training personnel.

Plans for drop-in center for those with disabilities moving forward
BRATTLEBORO -- About a year ago a group of people with family members who have disabilities began talking about starting a drop-in center.
Following similar models in Keene, N.H., and Woodstock, the group wanted to have a public space where people with disabilities could meet to take part in workshops and classes, or just congregate during the day.
From the beginning, Julie Tamler said, the project seemed daunting, but at the same time there was so much enthusiasm and support that Tamler expected to be able to find the right space in the Brattleboro area.
There is still work to do, she said, but the Brattleboro Center for People with Disabilities seems to inch forward every day.
Organizers are in discussion with officials at the Vermont Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Tamler thinks if everything falls into place the center could be open within a year.
"We're moving ahead in every direction and looking at every idea that comes to us," Tamler said. "People are really excited about this."
About 25 people have been involved with the work so far.
The group considered working with another organization, but decided to start its own nonprofit.
Tamler said the group expects to work closely with groups like Health Care and Rehabilitation Services and Families First as it opens the center and develops programs.
As part of their ongoing work the group is looking for a new name, and has put a call out for suggestions. Tamler said it is a way of building momentum for the group, but also a chance for more people to be involved in what she hopes the entire region will view as an inclusive community resource.
"We want a catchy name that expresses what we are all about, and think people out there might be able to come up with something," Tamler said.
Most of the people in the group do have a family member with a disability, though Tamler stresses that anyone is encouraged to get involved.
She said organizers are making it easy for anyone to be involved, especially with the understanding that people with disabilities can not always get out as easily as others.
"We are open and inclusive. That's been our main focus from the start," she said. "And when the center is open that is how we are going to run the center."
Organizers have visited the centers in Keene and Woodstock and Tamler said the staff in those centers have been very helpful and supportive as the Brattleboro works to develop its center.
"We want everyone to feel welcome here. We want this center to be open to everybody," she said. "Every step we take feels like a big step."
For more information, or to suggest a name for the group go to Brattleboro Center for People with Disabilities on Facebook, call Tamler at 802-387-5285, or e-mail suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fifty-seven NBA scouts and team officials, including six general managers/presidents, have reserved seats for Thursday's contest between North Texas' Tony Mitchell and Lehigh's C.J. McCollum.
"Every NBA team will be represented at that game," one NBA official said on the condition of anonymity. "It's a real credit to those mid-major programs that develop world-class talent the old-fashioned way."
McCollum, a 6-foot-3 guard, leads the nation in scoring at 24.9 points a game.
Mitchell was named Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year last season and is averaging 13.6 points and 8.6 rebounds.
Both players are projected as potential lottery picks in the 2013 draft.
"It's the same as it was in high school, when we had college coaches coming to watch our AAU and high school games," Mitchell said. "It's not something we think about. We just have to try to win the game."

Bauman: CC should start Game 6
Yanks' ace has proven in postseason he can get job done
By /
The New York Yankees' starting pitcher for the postponed Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Sunday should be their best starter, their ace, CC Sabathia, pitching on full and regular rest.
Instead, on Sunday night at 8:20 ET on FOX, the Yankees are staying with their previously scheduled Game 6 pitcher, Andy Pettitte. Yes, he is a postseason veteran, tied for the all-time lead in postseason victories (15). But more to the 2009 point, in three regular-season starts against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim this season, he was 0-2 with a 7.88 ERA. In Game 3 of the ALCS, a Yankees loss in which Pettitte was not involved in the decision, he gave up three earned runs in 6 1/3 innings.
Sabathia has already beaten the Angels twice in the series, the second time on short rest. He has given up two runs in 16 innings in these starts. There is no question, putting these pitchers side by side, which one of them is more likely to beat the Angels in a given game.
But it's even bigger than that, as it always is this time of the year. If you are up, 3-2, in a best-of-seven series, you want to move heaven and earth to finish the thing in Game 6.

Manager Joe Girardi's position is easily taken and can be defended.
"We like the guy going [Sunday night]," Girardi said. "CC has been great, but Andy will pitch tomorrow. ... We're going to stick with Andy."
The argument in favor of this standard practice is that, after all, Sabathia will still be available for Game 7, should the Yankees lose Game 6. That might not be defeatist thinking, but it is defensive thinking.
The positive thought, the aggressive move is to do everything possible to win Game 6. And that means starting your best guy.
The central question is not "Whose turn is it to pitch?" The central question is "Who gives us the best chance of winning Game 6?" The answer to the second question, the better question, is Sabathia.
He is 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA in this postseason. He pitched on short rest to win Game 4 of the series. He has been magnificent, he has been tireless and he has been The Man. The Yankees thought he was worth $161 million when they outbid the world for him. This is the most important game of the year, not the one you might or might not play the following night. Start your best pitcher, the man who gives you the best chance to win.
If you're the Yankees, you don't really want the Angels coming into a Game 7 on a winning streak. They're already feeling pretty good about themselves after their comeback in Game 5. And they probably caught a break with the rainout.
Lefty Joe Saunders is still set for Game 6. In the past two months, he has been one of the best in the game. Over his final eight regular-season starts, Saunders was 7-0 with a 2.62 ERA. In Game 2 of the ALCS at Yankee Stadium, he pitched seven innings, giving up two earned runs, allowing six hits and one walk, while striking out five.
But if this gets to a Game 7, the Angels could bring back their ace, John Lackey, on short rest. Game 7 would normally be Jered Weaver's turn in the Halos' ALCS rotation. He worked in relief in Game 5, pitching a spotless eighth inning when the Angels needed exactly that.
"I'm OK whichever way they go," Weaver said of the Game 7 pitching possibilities.
When Lackey was asked about the possibility of starting Game 7, he replied: "We're getting a little ahead of ourselves, fellas. We've got to win [Game 6] first."
That is exactly the point. Everybody needs to win Game 6 first. The only game that matters is the next one, which is precisely why Sabathia ought to be starting this game for the Yankees.
Staying with Pettitte might be seen as the more conventional move. But this is not the time for either conventional moves or conventional wisdom. The Yankees should be starting Sabathia in Game 6. But they're not.

While the Sonic Youth guitarist has released a number of solo experimental recordings, this is the first song-oriented rock album under his own name. He's joined by a stellar lineup including fellow guitarists Nels Cline and Alan Licht, keyboardist John Medeski and Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley on this consistently strong set of richly textured songs combining the poppier side of Sonic Youth's atmospheric avant-rock with jangly folk-rock, highlighted by lots of sparkling guitar interplay and Ranaldo's sturdy melodies. 3/16/2012 - Don Yates

Place: Any Developer Shop
Scenario: A developer wants to drop a column from a table
Time: Any Day – usually right before developer wants to go home
The developer rushes to the manager and following conversation begins:
Developer: I want to drop a column from one of the tables.
Manager: Sure, just document it where all the places it is used in our application and come back to me.
Developer: We only use stored procedures.
Manager: Sure, then documented how many stored procedures are there which are using your column and justify the modification. I will approve it once I see the documentation.
Developer back to the desk looking at hundreds of stored procedures in SSMS thinking how to find which stored procedure may be using his column. Suddenly he remembers a bookmark which he has saved earlier which had T-SQL Script to do so. Here quickly opened it and run the code.
SELECT obj.Name SPName, sc.TEXT SPText
FROM sys.syscomments sc
INNER JOIN sys.objects obj ON sc.Id = obj.OBJECT_ID
WHERE sc.TEXT LIKE '%' + 'Name Your Column Here' + '%'
Above T-SQL Script will search in the stored procedure text and return the name of the stored procedure if it will find the value specified in the WHERE condition. He was happy with his discovery and immediately created the list of the stored procedures and next action items as asked by the manager. He sent the list to the manager right after 10 minutes of his discussion with the manager. He rushed to manager to office to inform his promptness and realized that the manager had left for the day just few moments before.
Moral of the story: Work life balanced can be maintained if we work smart!
Let us see above T-SQL Script in action. Let us assume that in AdventureWorks2012 database we want to find the BusinessEntityID column in all the stored procedure. We can use run following T-SQL code in SSMS Query Editor and find the name of all the stored procedure.
USE AdventureWorks2012
SELECT obj.Name SPName, sc.TEXT SPText
FROM sys.syscomments sc
INNER JOIN sys.objects obj ON sc.Id = obj.OBJECT_ID
WHERE sc.TEXT LIKE '%' + 'BusinessEntityID' + '%'
Above T-SQL script will give results containing the name of the stored procedure and stored procedure text along with it.
While we are discussing this subject here are a couple of other additional related blog post which may interesting.
- Find Stored Procedure Related to Table in Database – Search in All Stored Procedure
- Search Stored Procedure Code – Search Stored Procedure Text
- Find Stored Procedure Create Date and Modified Date
A question to you: Is there any better way to find column used in a stored procedure? Please leave a comment with your solution. I will post the same in this blog with due credit.

Hi Pinal,
I always use below method to search column or content which I required in the procedure.
definition LIKE '%Your column name%'
AND definition LIKE '% Procedure %'
Returns a row for each object that is an SQL language-defined module. Objects of type P, RF, V, TR, FN, IF, TF, and R have an associated SQL module. Stand-alone defaults, objects of type D, also have an SQL module definition in this view. For a description of these types, see the type column in the sys.objects catalog view.
Good one!
Could you post something on how do use output from a stored procedure in a Create View script?
Refer this post
Red Gate's SQL Search is free.
Ahh…. I see some one already posted it.. but anyways…
SQL Server 2005 and above
— Below searches all objects (Procedures, views, triggers, functions)
Select distinct object_name(object_id)
from sys.all_sql_modules
Where definition like '%search text%'
— If you just want to search stored procedures.
Select distinct object_name(object_id)
from sys.Procedures
Where object_definition(object_id) like '%search text%'
SQL Server 2000 and below
— Below searches in definition of all objects (Views, triggers, functions)
Select distinct Object_Name(id)
From Syscomments
Where text like '%search text%'
Excellent Imran – loved it!
The below 2 queries are not working in SQL 2012
– Below searches all objects (Procedures, views, triggers, functions)
Select distinct object_name(object_id)
from sys.all_sql_modules
Where definition like '%search text%'
– If you just want to search stored procedures.
Select distinct object_name(object_id)
from sys.Procedures
Where object_definition(object_id) like '%search text%'
But since "sys.syscomments" is marked for removal in future , I think we should use "sys.sql_modules" or "information_schema.routines". Thoughts ?
excellent point. I totally agree!
to search syscomments is a very inefficient way and should be avoided.
I will suggest this script as below:
Declare @TableName sysname;
Declare @SchemaName sysname;
Declare @FullTableName nvarchar(256);
Declare @ColumnName sysname;
Set @SchemaName = 'dbo' –change your schema name
Set @TableName = 'Your_Table' –change your table name
Set @FullTableName = QuoteName(@SchemaName) + '.' + QUOTENAME(@TableName)
Set @ColumnName = 'Col_Name' –change your column name
SELECT QuoteName(A.referencing_schema_name) + '.' + QUOTENAME(A.Referencing_entity_name) As Object_Name
, O.type_desc As Object_Type
, M.definition As Object_Definition
FROM sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities (@FullTableName, 'Object') A
Inner Join
sys.objects O
On A.referencing_id = O.object_id
Inner Join
sys.sql_modules M
On A.referencing_id = M.object_id
CroSS Apply
Select *
From sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities(QuoteName(A.referencing_schema_name) + '.' + QUOTENAME(A.Referencing_entity_name), 'Object') B
Where B.referenced_minor_name = @ColumnName
Another very important "feature" of syscomments is that it contains only 4000 characters per record. If your object contains more than that, it will be broken up in multiple records. There's a good chance that an word will be seperated between those 2 records and that you will be missing a dependency… Much safer to use sql_modules!
You can also use the INFORMATION_SCHEMA:
DECLARE @column_name SYSNAME;
WHERE ROUTINE_DEFINITION LIKE '%' + @column_name + '%'
WHERE VIEW_DEFINITION LIKE '%' + @column_name + '%'
Hi Pinal,
Can you do the same for triggers?
Hi Jerry,
yes you can do this. The corresponding type for triggers is TR:
SELECT obj.Name SPName, sc.TEXT SPText
FROM sys.syscomments sc
INNER JOIN sys.objects obj ON sc.Id = obj.OBJECT_ID
WHERE sc.TEXT LIKE '%' + 'Name Your Column Here' + '%'
what about sp_depends 'stored_procedurename'
how to add table new column name in insert_stored procedure
Hi pinal i want to list out if the tabled used inside the sp then i want to list out it
so search column like 'tables'
can we get this in sql?????
EXEC sp_depends 'procedure name'
How to get the list of all tables present in a particular(single) stored procedure ?
EXEC sp_depends 'procedure name'
Hello, everybody, I am looking for those procedures, triggers or any other objects in the database that use the operator *= into their statments
I am trying with these examples above, as a result only retrieves 4 coincidences, when in fact the script must to return more that 4 coincidences. I am running this script under SQL 2012. Do I need other kind of script to retrieve those coincidences?
Thanks in advance!
Hello All. I have been looking on the web and this posting was "sort of" along the lines of what I was looking for. We are still on SQL 2000. Fingers crossed we will be on 2012 shortly. Of course we now have a request to "secure" a certain field. The field is a key field used in many stored procedures, some of which produce reports. It has been requested that only certain people be able to see the data in that field. Is there a way to setup something that would only allow a certain role or privilege to see the data in that column even if its in a stored procedure?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hi Sir,
Thanks a lot but it is not quering the distinct records.
FROM sys.Procedures
WHERE object_definition(OBJECT_ID) LIKE '%' + 'wip' + '%' AND TYPE = 'P'
order by OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID)
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(M.object_id), M.*
FROM sys.sql_modules M
JOIN sys.procedures P
ON M.object_id = P.object_id
WHERE M.definition LIKE '%wip%'
SELECT DISTINCT obj.Name SPName
FROM sys.syscomments sc
INNER JOIN sys.objects obj ON sc.Id = obj.OBJECT_ID
WHERE sc.TEXT LIKE '%' + 'wip' + '%'
AND TYPE = 'P' order by SPName
@Narendran – Can you please explain what is not working?
This doesn't work when the Stored Proc is in the Different Database and also table is in the different database.

Cooking in Costa Rica
Cooking in Costa Rica
While I thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine of Costa Rica, one of my favorite parts of the trip was cooking! The condo that we stayed in had an amazing kitchen, and since cooking has always relaxed me, I made dinner practically every night. And breakfast every morning. I snapped a bunch of photos so I could share the experience with you. Here you'll get a taste of what it's like to cook in Costa Rica.

Last week I installed Mint XFCE in dual booth with Windows XP on a old Pentium4 with 1 GB RAM. The machine is too old and slow these days so I did want to try XFCE to see if I could continue to use it after XP will be discontinued.
After trying the Live DVD and seeeiing that everything seemed to work, I installed Mint XFCE 14. At the time of installation, my webcam was perfectly able to get my picture for my account.
After insytallation, I noticed that I couldn't play any video file. The Movie Plater (mplayer2) don't even start, and when I try to use it from the right-click menu, it doesn' work. And when I installed the Google Talk Video Accelerator plugin for Firefox and I tried to use Google Hangout, it crashed every single time.(I think that the two problems are tied because the green light on the webcam light, and it seems to be recognized by the system, it's playing the feed from the webcam that crash the plugin)
Coming from the Windows world, the first thing I thoungh was that I was missing the codecs, to I started to install a codec pachage after another from the Software Manahge. It didn't work, nothing changed. I was able to play the video files only after installing VLC, but the video quality is abysmal. I uninstalled and installed again mplayer2, firefox, google talk, etc, to no avail.
After some days of this, I decided to begin again, more slowly and carefully this time. I formatted and re-installed Mint XFCE from scratch, and I tried to play a video before checking the upgrades. Nothing. So I used the upgrade manager (there were really a lot of upgrades) and tried again. Nothing.
At this time, I tried to use the Terminal Emulator these are the results:
- Using mplayer alone:
Code: Select all
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /run/user/MR277/keyring-pH4m86/pkcs11: No such file or directory
MPlayer2 UNKNOWN (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team
[followed by the descriprion of the commands]
- So I tried "mplayer filename", with a xvid avi
This time the video started, flawlessly, with even the external subtitles working (but the movie window had no button or controls, I had to use the keyboard, I don't know if it's normal for mplayer2 or not) this is what I got in the terminal:
Code: Select all

New York Giants condemned to another defeat as Denver Broncos win 41-23.
Big brother Peyton beats Eli in NFL's 'Manning Bowl'
EAST RUTHERFORD, United States // Big brother got the better of little brother in what may have been their last showdown as Peyton Manning steered the Denver Broncos to a 41-23 pounding of Eli Manning and the New York Giants on Sunday.
Peyton improved his head-to-head record against Eli in the NFL to 3-0 in the so-called 'Manning Bowl' staged at MetLife Stadium.
"It's a strange situation," Peyton said about competing against Eli, his junior by five years. "Yeah, it's strange circumstances. Good win, good team win.
"[But] I think both of us are glad that it's over with."
The older Manning said he believed Sunday's game could prove to be the last of the awkward regular season clashes between the brothers, who remain very close and talk to each other over the telephone at least a couple of times a week.
"I believe, certainly post-season is one thing, but I don't believe I'll make it to the next regular season one," said 37-year-old Peyton, whose Broncos would not be in New York's schedule rotation for another four years.
"So I think this would be the end of it. I'll be happy about that and I know my family will."
A post-season clash would be an intriguing prospect, especially if it came together this season with the Super Bowl coming to MetLife in February in the NFL's first outdoor, winter time Super Bowl.
Post-season is the one area where Eli has bragging rights over big brother. The younger Manning has won two Super Bowls and two Super Bowl MVP awards, with older brother Peyton owning just one of each from his days with the Indianapolis Colts.
But in the early going this season, the Mannings and their teams seem to be going in opposite directions.
Denver, one of the hot pre-season picks to reach the Super Bowl as American Football Conference (AFC) champions, improved to 2-0. The Giants, winners of two of the last six NFL title games, fell to 0-2 in the National Football Conference (NFC).
Peyton Manning leads the league in touchdowns with nine after tossing two more against Big Blue. He started the season with a record-tying seven scoring strikes against Baltimore Ravens, the defending Super Bowl champions.
Eli Manning leads the NFL in interceptions with seven after being picked off four times in Sunday's lopsided loss.
Peyton, who registered his two previous wins against Eli and the Giants while with the Indianapolis Colts, helped Denver take charge after a holding a scant 10-9 lead at intermission thanks in part to some adjustments made at halftime.
"I thought we made good second-half adjustments," said Peyton Manning, a four-time NFL Most Valuable Player. "We changed the tempo of the game and came out of the locker room and put up consecutive touchdown drives."
The match-up had been hotly anticipated as both quarterbacks threw for more than 400 yards in last week's opening games, but the duel fizzled into a Broncos romp.
Denver's Manning completed 30-of-43 passes for 307 yards without an interception.
New York's Manning connected on 28-of-49 for 362 yards but was frustrated in the big moments as the Giants converted third downs into first downs only once in 11 opportunities and had three interceptions taken in the end zone.
"I think Eli would be the first to say that he's not the way we want him to be," said Tom Coughlin, the Giants head coach. "Somehow, some way, we've got to stop the interceptions."
The Giants quarterback said his disappointment after the game was team related and not tied to any sibling rivalry.
"You want to go out there and play well, so you're frustrated that you lost another game," Eli said.
Peyton Manning advised not to count the Giants out.
"I think they'll be fine. They always play their best when everybody is kind of stacked against them," said Peyton, who said the victory was not as sweet as others as a nod to the pangs of brotherly love.
"It's not like beating another team. It's not probably quite as enjoyable as it would be if you were beating somebody else."

Flights to two new destinations are set to take off from Doncaster's Robin Hood Airport this summer.
Thomson and First Choice are offering 10,000 seats through the introduction of two new routes to Antalya and Zante from May.
The once-a-week flights to the Turkish resort and the Greek island take the total amount of destinations provided by Thomson and First Choice from Doncaster to 20. The new routes are now on sale.
A second flight a week to the Tunisian destination of Enfidha has also been added due to the popularity of the route in recent years.

CLERMONT, Fla. - Deputies were called to a local internet cafe by angry patrons who say the place is operating illegally.
The owner of Cyber Center on County Road 455, near State Road 50 in Clermont, would not tell Local 6 why they believe they are in compliance with state laws.
Deloris Glenn says the owner owes her $2,000.
She claims to have won the money last week, right before the power went out and all the computers inside went to black.
"I'm on a mission to get them shut down, get them all shut down," she said.
Assistant State Attorney Mark Simpson tells Local 6 if patrons pay money to play a game of chance, and they have the opportunity to win anything of value, it's most likely an illegal operation.
He hasn't heard of any complaints against Cyber Center until Local 6 told him about patrons like Deloris Glenn, and Keith Payne.
"This is not going to go away for me because I came in, I abided by the house rules and did what I was supposed to do, won correctly and now they don't want to give me what I've earned, and I feel cheated," said Payne.
On Friday, some patrons filled out reports with the sheriff's office, but deputies did not go inside the cafe.
In a statement, they said the reports will be reviewed by their fraud unit.

After all these years, the head Mekon and Waco Brother has finally gotten around to releasing a solo album. At times anthemic and raucous, at others poignant and forlorn, it's an impassioned, gutsy record that stands up to Langford's best work with his other bands. 2/15/1998 - Don Yates
