Create and implement an SSRS Data Driven Report Subscription without upgrading to SQL Enterprise. SQL-RD contains powerful system, event triggered, data-driven and business process workflow functions which will make an instant impact on the efficiency of your business.
Simply set up a "schedule" stating how often you would like each report to run, whether you'd like the output in Word, Excel, HTML, RTF, Acrobat, RPT, text format, and more and who it should be sent to. SQL-RD will do the automated delivery for you, delivering reports to folder, email, printer, fax, DropBox, Sharepoint, FTP or SFTP! You can even select, manage and schedule SQL Server Reporting Services Reports hosted in different SSRS instances.
It's easy to schedule SSRS Reports to run at a specific date and time, or to run them hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly or set up your own custom frequencies e.g. 4-4-3, every other day, third Monday of the month, and so on. And the same report can be scheduled to be run multiple times with different parameters, formats, frequencies, and destinations. SQL-RD makes it simple, hassle-free and convenient for you to schedule delivery of SQL Server Reporting Services reports.
Distribute SSRS Reports and respond to your business needs by setting schedules to run based on events and triggers rather than date. Add real-time monitoring to your SSRS Reports distribution process with SQL-RD's Event Based Schedules, reports are fired off when events occur e.g. database value is present, file is modified, window is open, an email is received, etc. SQL-RD makes sure the reports are generated and distributed on time and error-free. It's what you want from a SQL Reports Scheduler.
Use SQL-RD's unique Dynamic & Data Driven Schedule processes to trawl through your database to find the parameter values to use and then generate and deliver a unique report for each value. Bring advanced SSRS Data Driven publishing to your SSRS reports distribution infrastructure even with an SQL Server Standard license. Manage your SSRS Reports distribution needs with greater effectiveness, speed, and efficiency.
Once your schedule has been executed, why stop there? Use SQL-RD's unique Custom Actions to run another program, enter values in a database, modify a file and lots more. Or use Automation Schedules for general business process automation without scheduling any reports at all. Automate delivery in SQL Server Reporting Services and your entire business process with SQL-RD.

Hi, I have to do program that uses a for loop to traverse a linked list. I have 99% of the program done and ready to go but our professor wanted us to use a specific loop which is the loop on line 31. I don't understand what b is suppose to be. like... how would i declare b and what would it be declared as... I don't think its an iterator. ill post my code below that so you can get an idea of what i'm trying to do and what i'm missing. I dont know the data type....
Here is the loop (its in my method):
for(b=list;b != null;b=b.rest) System.out.print(b.first);
Heres my entire code:
import java.util.*; public class homeWorkThree{ public static void main(String[] args) { LinkedList <Integer>list = new LinkedList<Integer>(); int one=1, two=2, three=3, four=4, five=5, n=0; list.add(one); list.add(two); list.add(three); list.add(four); list.add(five); occur(list,n=4); boolean trueOrFalse = occur(list, n); if(trueOrFalse==true) System.out.println(trueOrFalse+": "+n+" does occur in the list"); else System.out.println(trueOrFalse+": "+n+" does NOT occur in the list"); occur(list,n=9); boolean trueOrFalseTwo = occur(list, n); if(trueOrFalseTwo==true) System.out.println(trueOrFalseTwo+": "+n+" does occur in the list"); else System.out.println(trueOrFalseTwo+": "+n+" does NOT occur in the list"); } public static boolean occur(LinkedList <Integer>list, int n){ boolean isItTrue = false; for(b=list;b != null;b=b.rest) System.out.print(b.first); for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); ++i){ if(list.get(i)==n) isItTrue=true; else{} } return isItTrue; } }

I adore sweet potatoes. But those sweet potatoes we ate when I was a kid? (And perhaps you did too?) The canned sweet potatoes baked with brown sugar and marshmallows, an ooey-gooey mess that hardly resembled the vegetable they once were?
No thank you.
These roasted orange sweet potatoes, with smoked paprika, cumin, and orange zest, still taste like sweet potatoes. They're soft on the fork with a bit of bite. How lovely it will be to have sweet potatoes that are not mushy on your Thanksgiving table!
Take a look.
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon canola
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 cups orange juice
1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
Preparing to bake. Heat the oven to 400°. Butter a 9×13 casserole dish. Layer the sweet potatoes like shingles, in three straight lines, in the casserole pan.
Making the glaze. Set a small pot over medium heat. Put in the butter and oil. When the butter has melted, add the smoked paprika, cumin, and maple syrup. Swirl them around until you can smell the spices. Pour in the orange juice and add the salt and pepper. Bring the liquids to a boil and let it boil for a moment or two, stirring occasionally.
Baking the sweet potatoes. Pour the glaze over the sweet potatoes evenly. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake until the sweet potatoes are soft to the fork but don't fall apart, about 35 to 45 minutes.
Take the aluminum foil off the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle the orange zest over the top of the sweet potatoes. Cover the pan loosely with the aluminum foil again until you are ready to serve the sweet potatoes.

Beyonce, Jay-Z Ditch 2012 Grammys for Brooklyn Pizza
Who needs Grammy gold, red carpet gowns and tuxes and catered food when you can nosh on some pizza in Brooklyn? That's just what music power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z did on Sunday (Feb. 12). The pair skipped Music's Biggest Night in favor of some low-key grub in the Hova's native borough.
Us Weekly reports that Bey and Jay hopped in a Maybach, left their downtown Tribeca crib and headed to the Carroll Gardens neighborhood in Brooklyn to dine at Lucali, a fancy pizzeria. They did not tote daughter Blue Ivy with them for this food outing.
A witness claimed Jayonce were just like any other other couple, "talking and whatnot." The presence of two celebrity A-listers didn't cause a big fuss with other customers, either, even as the couple sat "in front of the place closer to where they make the pizza." They probably wanted to inhale to intoxicating aroma of dough, cheese and sauce!
A source said that Beyonce bid adieu to the owner and their waitress on her way out and Jay-Z was cordial at the congrats he received from a fellow diner over their newborn daughter Blue Ivy's birth.
Meanwhile, nearly 3000 miles away, Jay picked up a Grammy in absentia for Best Rap Performance for 'Otis.'

Michigan is a land of stubborn dreamers. And it is home to loyal skeptics, who doubt it can be done but stand with you when you try and can still embrace you when you fail. Its dreamers must be stubborn to overcome the skeptics; its skeptics must be loyal to cherish success when it comes unexpectedly.
This is the puzzle of my home state that surely has mystified the state's Canadian neighbours and other observers over the years.
Henry Ford was a stubborn dreamer. Will Kellogg was a stubborn dreamer. William Boeing was too, and Detroit-born. Microsoft's Steve Ballmer and Hewlett-Packard's William Hewlett started life in Michigan.
Berry Gordy and Diana Ross were stubborn dreamers, too. Stevie Wonder, Madonna and Eminem started their musical careers in Michigan and overcame the doubters to become global stars.
Filmmaker Michael Moore, assisted suicide proponent Jack Kevorkian, and former President Gerald Ford all could be considered loyal skeptics. As could fans of the NFL's Detroit Lions, year after year.
The list could go on, but the point is that you know the types, and have met them before.
Today Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper comes to Michigan to conclude a deal that will see a new bridge built across the Detroit River. It is the culmination of years of tough negotiations and bickering. Why?
After all, Michigan trades more with Canada than any other state -- mostly, but not exclusively because of the auto industry.
Michiganders have a love-hate relationship with Canada. One of the state's first governors, Lewis Cass, was a veteran of the War of 1812 whose misjudgment contributed to the capture of Detroit by the British. Ontario is a rival for automotive investment, tourism, and agricultural products.
Yet Michiganders have elected two Canadian-born governors (John Swainson and Jennifer Granholm), and former Governor James Blanchard was subsequently one of the United States finest ambassadors to Canada, keeping relations on track during the most recent Quebec separatist referendum.
So it isn't anti-Canadian sentiment that made the bridge deal difficult.
Even before September 11, 2001 there were a lot of Michiganders who felt a new bridge was needed to handle growing trade. Automotive entrepreneur Heinz Prechter promoted a plan for a new bridge downriver to connect I-75 to southern Ontario, while the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement was being negotiated. After 2001, the heads of all of the major auto companies and top Republicans and Democrats all backed a new bridge too.
So it wasn't a failure of economic and political leaders to see the need for a bridge that made the deal difficult.
No, it was a typical Michigan story. Detroit-born self-made man Matty Moroun bought the current bridge that crosses the Detroit River, the Ambassador Bridge, in 1979 when it was a questionable investment. He saw its potential despite a down economy, a struggling auto industry, and the urban blight that was accelerating in Detroit.
In the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Moroun worked to expand space for U.S. customs and invested his own money to dramatically improve security at the Ambassador Bridge. The Ambassador Bridge, then and now, carries more trade between the United States and Canada in any given year than the United States conducts with all of Europe. If al Qaeda had understood this, they would have done more damage to the U.S. economy by destroying this bridge than the World Trade Center in New York.
That vulnerability led the governments of the United States and Canada to discuss adding another bridge to ensure that bilateral trade would remain secure. Officials of both governments worried that the location of the Ambassador Bridge, which feeds onto a city street in Windsor, Ontario that is notoriously prone to traffic backups and delays, and tight spaces for inspection booths on both sides limited future expansion. The State of Michigan and the Province of Ontario agreed, and the four governments began planning for another crossing.
Moroun the stubborn dreamer fought back, trying to block the construction of a rival bridge. He lobbied politicians, ran ads that attacked the project as unnecessary and risky, and planned an expansion of the Ambassador Bridge with his own money to prove his point.
And many Michiganders -- too many -- played the loyal skeptics, backing Moroun against his critics, accepting his arguments, and telling state politicians to oppose the bridge out of skepticism toward Washington, Ottawa, and even Lansing.
Michigan state legislators would not fund Michigan's share of the construction costs of the new bridge, refusing to cut other spending to find the needed dollars since the state constitution requires a balanced budget. The Government of Canada offered to finance Michigan's portion of the project in order to proceed in a deal that would see that investment repaid by bridge tolls. The Michigan legislature voted to reject this offer in late 2011 -- despite the fact that no money would have been received by Michigan under the deal.
Republican Governor Rick Snyder, like his Democratic predecessor Granholm, supported the new bridge and fought with the legislature over the issue. Finally, Snyder acted on his own to accept the Canadian offer, and today the new bridge project is moving ahead.
Snyder, the former president of Gateway Computers, campaigned for governor as "one tough nerd." Running Michigan, and living there, forces dreamers to be stubborn to survive.
Yet sometimes the dreams of Michiganders turn sour, and in stubbornness we cling to them for too long. Race riots in 1968 drew worldwide attention to poverty in then-prosperous Detroit. Former Detroit Mayor Coleman Young was the first African-American to lead what had become a majority African-American city, but he rejected cooperation with the white-majority suburbs and helped drive the city's decline.
The United Auto Workers hung on too long to inflexible work rules and the dream of continual pay and benefit increases. General Motors executives resisted change long after it was clear that the world's number one automaker was facing a challenge from Japanese imports. We hear the critics, yet circle the wagons and resist change.
Change comes anyway. Now the new bridge across the Detroit River will, too. The story of the fight over building that bridge will astonish future generations, in Canada and in the United States. And yet, the story is pure Michigan.

Local immigrant advocates today praised the president's order to halt the deportations of some young undocumented residents, though they remain hopeful that Congress will pass a comprehensive law providing a path to citizenship.
Alaa Mukahhal, 25, came to the U.S. legally with her parents in 1993, when she was 6, as they fled violence in Kuwait following the Gulf War.
When her visa expired, she stayed in Chicago. Despite earning an architecture degree from the University of Illinois, Mukahhal is facing deportation proceedings that started after she applied for asylum.
Now Mukahhal helps other immigrants become naturalized citizens and advocates for changes in immigration policy.
"As far as I'm concerned, growing up on the South Side of Chicago, I'm as American as they come," Mukahhal said.
She has a temporary work permit while her case works through the court system.
Mukahhal praised Obama's decision and is hopeful the new measures will help her earn temporary status and end her deportation proceedings.
"We understand this is a temporary move, but it's an important step forward," she said.
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., has sponsored as-of-yet unsuccessful DREAM Act Legislation in Congress for 11 years. While he still wants to pass that law and create a path to citizenship — something Obama's order stops short of — he's pleased that the decision will halt the deportations of some educated young immigrants.
It's an important step, he said, because the full DREAM Act "isn't going to pass in this Congress."
But Obama's policy is an executive order, which could be overturned by an act of Congress or a future president.
Durbin said he spoke with one young immigrant who was afraid that by coming out of the shadows now and announcing her presence to the government, she could be targeted should Obama's program end.
"They're afraid that once they turn in this information, it will become the list of the future for deportation," Durbin said.
The senator is hopeful that, even if the policy is reversed, those who declare themselves in good faith now wouldn't be unfairly targeted.
"If anyone in the future tries to use this against them, I think there will be a terrific backlash," he said.
Lawrence Benito, CEO of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, said the executive order allows longtime U.S. residents to continue living in the only place they've ever known.
He's hopeful that today's order will pave the way for future, more comprehensive reforms.
"These students are American in every sense except the paperwork," Benito said. "Today is just a beginning."
Local immigrant advocates today praised the president's order to halt the deportations of some young undocumented residents, though they remain hopeful that Congress will pass a comprehensive law providing a path to citizenship.

VAN NUYS, Calif. — More than 300 business, community and aviation industry representatives joined with Los Angeles World Airport officials to open Van Nuys Airport's (VNY) newly improved main runway, 16R. The $20.5 million, seven-month plan to modernize the airport's 8,000-foot primary runway marks the largest maintenance project conducted at the airport in more than 50 years.
"Through months of collaboration with airport tenants, this project was carefully phased to minimize impacts on airport users and operators to the fullest extent possible and keep our tenants open for business," said Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports, the city department that owns and operates VNY. "We are committed to preserving VNY's role as Los Angeles' No. 1 business airport and a world-class general aviation facility."
The ribbon-cutting event was punctuated by an array of aerial maneuvers performed by aerobatic champion Sean Tucker, who learned how to fly at VNY. During the demonstration, Tucker flew his custom Challenger biplane (pictured above) at 220 mph through three ribbons strung across the runway, cutting the final ribbon while inverted.
Following Tucker, legendary pilot and business aviation entrepreneur Clay Lacy (pictured) made the first landing on the improved runway while piloting his historic Learjet 24, the first corporate jet based at VNY in 1965
Starting in February 2012, a combination of asphalt overlay and partial reconstruction was phased over the runway's north, south and center sections. Improvements were designed to meet current FAA design standards, improve existing run-up and concrete pavement areas, and ensure a minimum 20-year runway lifespan.
Work included:
- Improvements and installation of a new blast fence at the run-up area;
- Repairs to existing concrete runway ends;
- Repair and expansion of concrete shoulder pavements;
- High-speed exit light modifications;
- New in-pavement approach lighting; and
- New pavement markings
The project resulted in runway closures for 10 full days and 26 nights, and shortened runway lengths for 65 days. Operations on VNY's 4,000-foot parallel runway, used mainly by propeller aircraft, were not impacted.
"Because the primary runway handles the majority of jet operations, this project required a unique design, varying pavement sections and creative phasing, " said Laddie Irion, senior vice president and national aviation market sector leader for HNTB Corporation, the architecture and engineering firm tasked with overall project design, engineering and phasing. "This was a rare opportunity to work collaboratively with key stakeholders on a solution that dramatically limited the number of days the runway was closed or shortened during project work."
Airport tenants attribute much of the project's success to implementation of an international awareness campaign that provided updated construction schedule and phasing information to pilots through outreach to aviation trade associations, a dedicated project website and hotline number, and use of social media channels.
"This is a positive example of how aviation businesses and management can work collaboratively to ensure that maintenance projects are executed successfully and with minimal impacts on airport users and operators," said Curt Castagna, president of the Van Nuys Airport Association.
Amassing an estimated 2,500 hours of construction in under 300 calendar days, the runway rehabilitation was completed on-time and on-budget using approximately eight acres of infield grass, 2,650 gallons of airfield paint, 57,600 linear feet of electrical cable and 60,000 tons of asphalt.
VNY is one of three airports owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), a self-supporting branch of the city of Los Angeles, governed by a seven-member Board of Airport Commissioners who are appointed by the mayor and approved by the Los Angeles City Council.
One of the world's busiest general aviation airports, VNY had over 260,000 operations in 2012. More than 100 businesses are located on the 730-acre airport, including five major FBOs and numerous aviation service companies.
Annually, the airport contributes approximately $1.3 billion to the Southern California economy and supports over 12,000 jobs. In addition, VNY provides programs to benefit local residents, along with educational initiatives and aviation-related career and training opportunities. For more information: LAWA.org/VNY

After our first semester of using [SmartEvals], our faculty were thrilled with the reporting and analysis tools at their fingertips and were thrilled to see a 15% jump in our response rates. ... We started saving 40% every year. It wasn't just theoretical money either; we literally reduced our budget line for evaluations by $4,000. The real savings (if you add in the time it freed me up to do my job) was probably double."
David Smalley
Manager of Institutional Research
Lamar University
"I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your outstanding support in our recent round of evaluations!"
Tom Matthews, Ph.D.
Director of Assessment
"Thank you! This is what you call great customer service.. seriously!!"
"I must admit I was skeptical as to whether or not online response rates would be equivalent to a paper process administered to a captive audience in a class, but it is working for us."
Colorado State University - Pueblo
"We were extremely happy with the results after our first semester with [SmartEvals] and got considerably better response rates than we expected. Also, I have not heard one single complaint from a student; many even commented on how easy it was to use the [SmartEvals] system and felt secure that it offered them confidentiality."
Russ Meyer
Provost and Vice President Academic Affairs
"The on-line evaluation system was easy to use and time-efficient. In fact, having the opportunity to complete evaluations on my own time schedule and at my own pace allowed me to provide more complete information than I might have otherwise. The e-mail reminders linked to the website were also helpful."
Jeffrey A. Jones
University of Tulsa
"SmartEvals provides the best support - always professional, informed, and patient!

Sheila Givens
Primary Evaluation Administrator
"Check out http://info.smartevals.com. ...your dean can specify questions that will appear on every survey across the board, and instructors can go in and add some of their own - but instructors cannot mess with the standard ones. This comes in handy for certain classes, like art, where an instructor might seek feedback on the studio setup. Faculty get to see reports on their classes, department chairs can see their division, and the dean can see everything."
MidAmerica Nazarene University
"I feel I am better informed because of those who utilize the system."
Dennis Troyer
Director of Retention and Student Success
Philander Smith College
"The implementation was a great success! Kudos to your tech support staff.. They helped me get the program up and running in a short time frame."
Director of Research and Assessment
"Thank you for taking the time and great care in responding to my concerns. I greatly appreciate your help. SmartEvals provides the best care and support in the world!"

"You guys rock! Thank you so much for your help; this is great."
Karen Muncaster
Associate VP
"Years ago, we were paying an outside company to do our 15-item teacher evaluations, and it was quite expensive in terms of time and money. Once we switched to Online Course Evaluations, we started saving 40% every year. It wasn't just theoretical money either; we literally reduced our budget line for evaluations by $4,000. The real savings (if you add in the time it freed me up to do my job) was probably double"
University at Buffalo: School of Social Work
"[SmartEvals] is a rare breed in software companies. You truly understand the meaning of customer service!"
Judah R. Gibson
Assistant to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs
"The system provides many venues for reporting for instructors, [department heads, deans] and our public domain. ... The support is excellent! ... I appreciate (as always) your friendly and patient support! ... This is what you call great customer service--seriously!!"
Furman University
"Your customer service has been awesome and some of the best I've ever encountered. I genuinely look forward to working with you and your company."
Christina Horn
Christian Brothers University
"I am so happy to have the opportunity to tell you what a wonderful, outstanding staff you have! ... This service is above and beyond! ... If only the rest of the world worked like you all...."
Anne Ballam
Delaware State University
"The [SmartEvals] team did a great job working with our school to deliver exceptional response rates. They are willing to try ANYTHING. In fact, our Fall 2007 semester using [SmartEvals] was our most successful student evaluation...in the entire history of Delaware State University!"
Dr. Ricky Hardy
Office of Testing
"We were surprised to get a response rate using SmartEvals that was higher than or equal to the response rates we previously achieved using our divisional paper surveys."
Paula Gabbert
Associate Academic Dean
"I am thrilled with the [SmartEvals Course Evaluations] system; I couldn't be happier! Everybody likes the reports that are provided and all the information that is so easily available. The School got a 75% response rate our first semester with [SmartEvals] ...."
Michael Fronmueller
Dean - Hasan School of Business
East Mississippi Community College
"99% of our full time instructors use DropGuard for attendance and early alert. ... About 66% or our adjuncts use it. ... The product has been a positive cultural change at EMCC. Faculty love the ease of sending information to students, and students appreciate the feedback from instructors. When we coupled automatic phone calls with absence warnings, we expected most students to opt out of receiving calls; this has not been the case. They do actually press a key to indicate if they are returning to class after an absence or intend to drop. ... Our band director is excited about the new attendance procedure because he carries his tablet to the marching field. He will be able to enter attendance data on the field instead of carrying a scrap of paper back to his office to transfer information to DropGuard. We enjoy SmartEvals's responsiveness to our requests for change and integration with Canvas!"
Laura Damm
Student Success Coordinator
University of Utah
"I love the resetting evaluations for students feature and have had to use this a couple dozen times already. Thanks to ... the [SmartEvals] team for getting everything set up on such a short timeline. I'm very glad we chose [SmartEvals] and you should be proud of your outstanding customer service in a time when it's the exception instead of the rule."
Jill Stephenson
Program Manager - Student Course Feedback
Governors State University
"Setting up our first evaluation was much easier than I had thought it would be. The system is very easy to use!"
Veronica Williams
Director, Extended University
Montgomery County Community College
"Montgomery Community College has very stringent reporting rules. These rules determine which deans get to see which results and how often tenured instructors are required to show their results to the administration. One of the reasons we chose [SmartEvals] was that they had a very simple and easy solution that solved all of our needs. ... Everyone has such a positive, can-do attitude...and they deliver too!"
Dr. Joan Brookshire
Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs
University at Buffalo: School of Management
"Contrary to my expectations for the vast majority of questions (85%) the average rating given by our students went up by somewhere between .01 and .20 points with the [SmartEvals] system. In other words, the students who completed evaluations seemed to be systematically more favorable to their instructors."
Frank Krzystofiak
Associate Dean for Exec. Ed.
"I'm glad you're 'taking care of business' with our B-School data! ... Your stellar support continues to exceed my expectations!"
Dr. Timothy Peterson
Dean of Academic Outreach
"Had to take the time to tell you how much I appreciated this [online course evaluation system]! They're just so much faster, easier to complete and make comments on. I did mine today on my smartphone! How easy is that!?! Thanks so much!
"The most important thing which I liked was that the evaluation was online and so convenient. It was easy to use and understand as only the courses we registered for were shown on the screen. We did not have to search for those. Overall it was a good experience."
Ami Shah
South Texas College
"Thank you so much for the excellent customer service you provide to the students and faculty at STC."
Laura B. Talbot
Officer, Curriculum and Accreditation
Tri-County Technical College
"Your responsiveness is one of the reasons my pilot has gone so well. I have been made to feel like the success of my project was a top concern, which has been atypical in my experience with software support."
Christopher Marino
"The online evaluation system was easy to use and time-efficient. In fact, having the opportunity to complete evaluations on my own time schedule and at my own pace allowed me to provide more complete information than I might have otherwise. The e-mail reminders linked to the website were also helpful."
"Working with [SmartEvals] has been a very positive experience. Their technical support team has been quick to respond to requests for assistance, and I have been pleased with the level of customer service provided. We have recently completed a pilot of the [SmartEvals] system, and we will be replacing our paper-based evaluations with [SmartEvals]."

EVSi or ESVS? Demo GNT/BHS?
Posted 31 December 2010 - 10:28 AM
1. Is there a reason I should download or use the ESV Strong's group? or just use the ESVi
2. Can/Should I delete the GNT-TD and BHS-WD, or should I drop the non-Demo versions because the D versions are optimized for ios?
3. Thank you!!

More for curiosity than anything else, why would iOS require a different version than Mac if content-wise, they are the same? Licensing issues? Size of file?

That did it. Thanks!
ESV probably won't delete because you've loaded the text. Switch to a different text and try deleting it again.
Posted 07 January 2011 - 07:41 PM
I want to know whether I should or shouldn't download the ESV (as distinct from ESVi) text to my iphone. i.e. I already had a paid license copy of ESV on my mac, and hence it comes up in my downloadable list on the iphone - even though ESVi is installed by default.
What I've done so far is ignore the ESV in the list and just use the ESVi. Is that what I should continue to do? Or should I download it? And if so, should I / could I delete the ESVi?
And finally if there isn't any value in installing the ESV, I might suggest tweaking something at your end so the ESV doesn't appear in anyone's downloadable list - in the interests of avoiding confusion.

I understand, and I guess it's no big deal really. Just another thought, in case it helps anyone - Could you put a note in the iOS documentation somewhere informing existing mac ESV users that they won't need to download that text??
Over and out ...

Two weeks ago, we were all introduced to the Purity Bear via a creepy video that looked like the last-minute submission to a misguided high school film course assignment. Well, according to the makers of this helpful little creature, the Purity Bear has been a rousing success because it has attracted more than a "quarter million" views, never mind the fact that, according to Towleroad, its garnered 1,500 dislikes and less than 200 dislikes. The important thing is that, just as people flock to Michael Bay's movies, everyone's watching the Purity Bear in action! My only concern is that I'm not sure how knowledgeable a sexless stuffed animal is about human sexuality. I mean, it's easy for the Purity Bear to be pure because it doesn't have any sex drive and I'm not convinced that it realizes that we're not all made of out synthetic fibers and Christian abstinence.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pro056 from Love these teacups! These teacups are beautiful! They are a very true white color and are lovely for entertaining. My fiance and I are big tea people, so we use these on an almost-daily basis. They are very durable and wash nicely in the dishwasher. If I HAD to give a "con" it would be that they do not stack well, making them a little hard to store in a cabinet of a small kitchen. However, that is in no way a deal breaker for us! We are so pleased with them that I am thinking of ordering another set.Date published: 2016-01-20Rated 5 out of 5 by GreyGhost54 from Elegant but Sturdy We got these for my brother who has a Nespresso and the the cups are the perfect size for a coffee "pod" and some milk. We ended up liking them so much we got them for ourselves (even though we're french press folks) and we love them! They are classic, clean, and elegant but sturdy and just the perfect proportions.Date published: 2015-09-28Rated 5 out of 5 by mrsStone from Great Cup & Saucers for Cafe Lattes My husband and I love this cup & saucer set. We use them daily. They are durable and have a nice clean, classic design that matches everything in our kitchen. We also own the Brasserie sugar bowl & creamer set in white, which complements our Apilco set perfectly.Date published: 2013-01-08

Applesauce Lattice Pie
"I had some apples that needed to be used up, so I combined them with a can of applesauce and turned out my best-tasting apple pie ever," writes Cherie Sweet of Evansville, Indiana.
Total TimePrep: 30 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling
Makes8 servings
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
- 4 to 6 tablespoons cold water
- 4-1/2 teaspoons fat-free milk
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 5 cups sliced peeled tart apples
- 1/4 cup raisins
- Sugar substitute equivalent to 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1-1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons butter
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the water, milk and vinegar; gradually add to crumb mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
- Coat a 9-in. pie plate with cooking spray. Set aside a third of the dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining dough to fit pie plate. Transfer pastry to plate; trim even with edge.
- In a large bowl, combine apples and raisins. Combine the sugar substitute, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; add to apple mixture and toss to coat. Spoon 3 cups into the crust; cover with applesauce. Top with remaining apple mixture; dot with butter.
- Roll out reserved portion of dough; make a lattice crust. Trim and flute edges. Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.

Customize your Halloween decorations with one-of-a-kind, art pumpkins, kale, ornamental cabbages and fall mums.
Here's a kid-friendly project that won't send shivers down your spine.
When autumn winds turn bone-chilling cold and children dream of becoming vampires, parents might want to have some crafty ideas in their bags of tricks. If you don't feel like getting pumpkin slime all over the kitchen this year, try this DIY project that doesn't require 30 minutes just for cleanup.
Black paper cutouts contrast wickedly against orange or white pumpkin-y backgrounds. Reveal the darker side of your pumpkin with skeletons, rats or other scary cutouts.
Gather natural elements that are plentiful in October, such as colorful leaves or flower petals.
Golden-yellow, petals and green ferns dance around the stem of a ghostly-white pumpkin. Top it off with a stem of bittersweet.
Since decoupage is the art of decorating an object with paper cutouts, I used a pumpkin as my object. Look for cutouts made from thin paper or try flat, natural elements from your backyard. I looked for inspirational cutouts that are easy to find in October such as pre-cut, black paper crows or oak leaves and real foliage or flower petals. Whether you use scary cutouts or natural materials, the cutouts must be thin enough to lie flatly on the pumpkin in the decoupage process. Watch how innocent pumpkins
will reveal their darker side – even without the eerie flicker of candlelight.
Gather your supplies and start the haunting!
• One small jar of "Outdoor Mod Podge." This brush-on adhesive triples as a glue, sealer and finish. Crafters often use it for decoupage projects because it is non-toxic, dries quickly and is water-based for an easy cleanup – perfect for children and adults. (It is available at craft stores or online at plaidonline.com.)
• Look for your favorite paper cutouts on text-weight paper. (Tip: Cutouts won't adhere and lay flat on a rounded pumpkin if you use thick paper.)
• Select your favorite orange, white or blue-gray pumpkin or gourd – any size will work. (Tip: Use a smooth-skinned pumpkin because it's easier to keep the cutouts flat when applying Mod Podge.)
• Find inexpensive, one-inch wide brushes for applying thin coats of Mod Podge.
• Scissors.
• Newspaper or plastic to protect table surfaces.
How to:
1. Thoroughly clean pumpkin with water and pat dry.
2. Choose the best side of your pumpkin for the front view.
3. Plan your design with your chosen art elements.
4. Brush a thin layer of adhesive on the pumpkin (only where you want to place the first cutout). Place cutout on pumpkin and brush on another layer of Mod Podge to seal it. Go over it lightly with a brush to flatten the paper and remove any creases or bubbles.
5. Continue to add more cutouts or leaves to make any pattern you choose. Repeat process.
6. Allow Mod Podge to dry approximately 15-20 minutes between each coat. (Adhesive will turn from white to clear when it is dry.) You will want to apply three to four coats over each cutout or leaf before you are finished.
7. When you are finished applying images, brush on a layer of Mod Podge over the entire pumpkin for a continuous, glossy surface.
8. Allow pumpkin to dry for 24 hours before placing it in a protected outdoor area. Finished pumpkins can be enjoyed indoors too, but they won't last as long in a warm home (approximately 1-2 weeks). m

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Assistant Men's Swimming and Diving Coach Kevin Tyrrell served as a team manager at this weekend's Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool, helping Team USA to a 181.5-80.5 victory over the European All-Stars.
"Serving as assistant team manager for the Duel in the Pool was a great learning experience," Tyrrell commented. "Being around the quality of athlete and coaching staff represented on Team USA was thrilling and motivates me to learn as much as possible in order to be a better coach and staff member at Harvard."
Team USA's roster for the Duel in the Pool featured 21 Olympians, including Olympic gold medalists Ryan Lochte, Natalie Coughlin, Rebecca Soni, Brendan Hansen, Dana Vollmer and Amanda Beard. The European roster, meanwhile, was comprised of World Championship swimmers from Great Britain, Netherlands, Poland, Belarus, Denmark, Austria and Lithuania.
"I was happy to help the athletes and coaches of Team USA in anyway necessary. The opportunity to listen to coaches such as David Marsh of SwimMAC North Carolina, Jack Bauerle of the University of Georgia, National Team Director Frank Busch and Mike Bottom of the University of Michigan interact with high level athletes was incredible," added Tyrrell. "I appreciate the Harvard athletic department, especially our Head Coach Tim Murphy, for allowing me the scheduling flexibility to make such a trip possible."
One world record and five American records fell over the course of the two-day event, which was hosted at the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center in Atlanta, Ga. The 400 medley relay team of Coughlin, Soni, Vollmer and Missy Franklin topped the European All-Stars in a world record time of 3:45.56 on Friday, after Coughlin gave the U.S. a lead through the first 100 meters with an American record time of 55.97. Caitlin Leverenz also set an American record on Friday with a time of 4:24.62 in the 400 IM.
Three more American records were toppled on Saturday including both portions of the 200 fly. Kathleen Hersey went 2:03.49 on the women's side, finishing nearly a second faster than the previous record of 2:04.26, while Davis Tarwater touched the wall in 1:51.90 for the men. In the 400 free relay, Coughlin, Jessica Hardy, Vollmer and Missy Franklin combined for an American record time of 3:28.46.

The bi-annual Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool is a made-for-TV event, designed to showcase the sport's most exciting swimmers. This was the fifth Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool in the history of USA Swimming. Past Duels were held in 2003, 2005, 2007 that pitted All-Star teams from the U.S. and Australia against each other and 2009 featured the U.S. against European All-Stars. The U.S. is now 5-0 in the history of the Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool.

ExxonMobil Corp. laid out plans for a development using the world's biggest floating natural gas processing plant, in a technically challenging move that underscores its bullish view on Asian demand for the fuel.
Exxon and partner BHP Billiton Ltd. want to anchor a vessel extending 495 meters--the equivalent of around five football pitches--at sea to tap into the remote Scarborough natural gas field offshore Western Australia. They're seeking government approval for the multibillion dollar project, and targeting first production as early as 2020.
Floating liquefied natural gas technology, known as FLNG, is untried but has captured the attention of some of the world's biggest energy companies seeking to access gas fields that are too small or remote to develop using pipelines and onshore facilities. Royal Dutch Shell PLC is a leading proponent of FLNG vessels, which it plans to deploy in Australia and possibly elsewhere.
The relative calm of the waters off Australia's northeastern coastline make the country a strong candidate to accommodate the world's first FLNG vessels. Its stable political environment and proximity to Asian markets that have a growing appetite for fuels that are cleaner than coal when burnt are also drawcards. According to the International Energy Agency, China's natural gas demand alone will more than quadruple to 545 billion cubic meters between 2011 and 2035.
However, companies like Exxon need to ensure their vessels can withstand stormy seas. One main concern is that the forces generated by liquefied gas sloshing in partially filled containers can damage the storage system. That issue is being addressed with containers designed to minimize sloshing and with elaborate anchoring systems that limit the movement of vessels in the water.
Exxon's proposed facility would produce between 6 million and 7 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, a year for several decades. The Scarborough resource was discovered in 1979 and is estimated to hold up to 10 trillion cubic feet of gas--equal to more than a third of the U.S.'s annual gas consumption.
Early design work would begin next year, ahead of a final investment decision in 2014-15, Exxon said in a filing to the federal government's environment department. A Melbourne-based spokeswoman for Exxon said FLNG has "the capacity to reduce our capital costs by removing the need for infrastructure" and has a smaller environmental footprint.
With close to a dozen natural-gas export terminals planned for its coastline, Australia is poised to leapfrog Qatar as the world's top exporter of LNG by the end of the decade. LNG is natural gas chilled to a liquid so that it can be shipped by tanker.
The industry, however, is facing increasing cost headwinds driven by a strong local currency and a shortage of skilled labor. Underscoring these challenges, Chevron Corp. and smaller joint venture partners including Exxon and Shell said in December the cost of building their giant Gorgon LNG project on the Western Australian coast had blown out by a fifth to 52 billion Australian dollars (US$54.4 billion).
The budget overruns come as Australia becomes increasingly likely to face rising competition from emerging gas-export industries in North America and Africa, which could make it tougher to secure customers.
FLNG is often touted by company executives as a means of mitigating cost pressures because much of the construction process occurs offshore in countries with cheaper sources of labor. Companies also don't have to pay for acquiring and clearing land.
"For some of the more economically challenged gas resources out there, floating LNG is going to take on a much higher profile," said Andrew Williams, a Melbourne-based energy analyst at RBC Capital Markets.
In 2011, Shell committed to use a FLNG vessel to process natural gas from its Prelude field in the Browse Basin offshore northwestern Australia. The vessel is due to begin producing 3.6 million tons of LNG each year from 2017.
Shell estimated that its project would cost between US$3 billion and US$3.5 billion for every 1 million tons of production capacity, or between US$10.8 billion and US$12.6 billion.
In its filing Tuesday, Exxon didn't estimate a cost for its Scarborough development.

MODEX 2014 and Magline CooLift Delivery System Demos Changing Needs of Distribution Market
Standish, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/14/2014 -- New lift-pallet systems offer the biggest promise for supporting product innovation in the marketplace. The Magline CooLift Delivery System provides an easier method for drivers to deliver products at many stops is what drives this innovation of new (smaller than traditional) half-pallets. Larger traditional pallets require the assistance of an electric pallet jack, and cannot fit into the back rooms of most convenience stores. The CooLift System allow for a distribution process of "hybrid" routes, tailored to the realities of the common variety delivery model.
Magline is exhibiting CooLift Delivery System at the largest expo, MODEX, for the manufacturing and supply chain industries. Attendees visiting Magline Booth #2531 will learn about the Magline CooLift Delivery System innovation in Atlanta, GA on March 17-20, 2014.
Managing the supply chain, from warehouse to retail is often overlooked; this phase of logistics represents a significant opportunity to improve productivity, profitability, and implement lean processes, most important to material handling supply chain professionals.
As SKUs are proliferating and new outlet types are developed, there is growing concern about the employees performing distribution jobs. Seeking productivity gains, companies have turned to warehouse automation, which is resulting in fewer trucks and trailers out on the road and a potentially shrinking workforce with fewer route distribution drivers. The shrinking workforce means tenured employees tend to stay on the job longer and, as the workforce ages, it becomes more difficult to do the work at the same level with the amount of bending and twisting involved. Best-practice solutions keep dedicated hard-working delivery drivers on the road.
About Magline
Magline, Inc. (http://www.magliner.com) manufactures a complete line of innovative lightweight route distribution solutions under the Magliner brand. Recently named one of the Great Supply Chain Projects of 2013 according to Supply & Demand Chain Executive, Magliner solutions are used in the beer, soft drink, food service, parcel delivery, home healthcare, and other distribution industries. Magline also offers implementation consulting and solutions for reducing service times and eliminating waste during deliveries. Magline, the manufacturer of the innovative CooLift Delivery System, allows distributors to deliver more product in less time, combining an easily maneuverable and high capacity hydraulic lifting truck with integrated plastic "half" pallets for improved safety and efficiency. Founded in 1947, Magline continues to lead the industry in manufacturing hand trucks. The innovative designs of two-wheel hand trucks, convertible hand trucks, bulk delivery trucks, special application trucks, and ramps are durable and enhance workplace safety.

Lyrics:First verseA dusky coon, who came to spoon, his lady love from morn till noon, it seemed somehow they never could agree; No matter what he tried to do, She'd say I've had enough of you, Don't try to hand that lovey talk to me. He said ""Hon' don't be cross, I'll let you be the boss.""ChorusGive me just one loving smile, Ev'ry little bit helps, Let me hold your hand a while, Ev'ry little bit helps, Now and then a gentle squeeze, So my aching heart won't freeze, Love me just a tiny bit please, Ev'ry little bit helps. helps.Second verseSaid she ""I've heard yourtales of woe, I think it time for you to go, Just put that lovin' gag up on the shelf,"" Then he replied, what shall I do, So I can make, a hit with you, You know I love you only for your self. But as she said ""good bye.""once more she heard him cry(Chorus)

A Tale of Two Oil States
While the shale boom lifts Texas, California sits on vast resources.
Texas and California have been competing for years as U.S. growth models, and one of the less discussed comparisons is on energy. The Golden State has long been one of America's big three oil producing states, along with Texas and Alaska, but last year North Dakota surpassed it. This isn't a matter of geological luck but of good and bad policy choices.
Barely unnoticed outside energy circles, Texas has doubled its oil output since 2005. Even with the surge in output in North Dakota's Bakken region, Texas produces as much oil as the four next largest producing states combined. The Lone Star State now pumps nearly two million barrels a day, and Texas Railroad Commissioner Barry Smitherman (who is also oil commissioner) says "total production could double by 2016 and triple by the early 2020s." The entire U.S. now produces about seven million barrels a day.
The two richest fields are the Eagle Ford shale formation in South Texas, where production is up 50% in the last year alone, and the 250-square mile Permian Basin. Midland-Odessa in the Permian is one of America's fastest-growing metro areas.
More than 400,000 Texans are employed by the oil and gas industry (almost 10 times more than in California) and Mr. Smitherman says the average salary is $100,000 a year. The industry generates about $80 billion a year in economic activity, which exceeds the annual output of all goods and services in 13 individual states.
Now look to California, where oil output is down 21% since 2001, according to Energy Department data, even as the price of oil has soared and now trades in the neighborhood of $95 a barrel. (See the nearby chart.)
This is not because California is running out of oil. To the contrary, California has huge reservoirs offshore and even more in the Monterey shale, which stretches 200 miles south and southeast from San Francisco. The Department of Energy estimates that the Monterey shale contains about 15 billion barrels of oil, which is about double the estimated supply in the Bakken.
Occidental Petroleum, OXY -0.12%the big oil player in California, has recently purchased leases from the Interior Department to drill in the Monterey shale, but in April a federal judge blocked the breakthrough drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," in the state. The judge ordered an environmental review of the drilling process that Texas, North Dakota and other states have safely regulated for years.
A large part of the explanation for the Texas boom and the California bust is the political culture. Despite their cars, California voters have elected politicians who consider fossil fuels to be "dirty energy."

The plaintiffs in the Monterey shale lawsuit were the local chapters of the Sierra Club and the Center for Biological Diversity. Rita Dalessio, chairwoman of the Ventana chapter of the Sierra Club, said, "We're very excited. We're thrilled" by the judge's ban, adding that "I'm sure the champagne is flowing in San Francisco." This attitude is prevalent among California's elite and wealthy.
California has also passed cap-and-trade legislation that adds substantially to the costs of conventional energy production and refining. The politicians in Sacramento and their Silicon Valley financiers have made multibillion-dollar and mostly wrong bets on biofuels and other green energy. Texas has invested heavily in wind power but not at the expense of oil production.
Another contrast is that most Texas oil is on private lands, which owners are willing to lease at a price. In California much of the oil-rich areas are state or federally owned, and leasing doesn't happen because of political constraints. In California it can take weeks or even months to get approval for an oil rig. The average in Texas? Four days.
In short, Texas loves being an oil-producing state while California is embarrassed by it. And it's no accident that Texas has been leading the nation in job creation since the recession ended. The energy boom is creating thousands of jobs related to drilling but also in downstream industries such as transportation, high-technology, construction and manufacturing. The Texas jobless rate is 6.4% while California's is still the third highest at 9.4%.
Texans are realizing another benefit from oil production: money to fund government services. According to energy analyst Kathleen Hartnett White of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, "oil and gas production generated $12 billion in state taxes in 2012." This helps Texas avoid a state income tax. California's top marginal income-tax and capital-gains tax rate is 13.3%.
California has the natural resources and technical expertise to be the next Texas if it wants to be. What it needs is the political will. California Governor Jerry Brown at least says he wants to drill, but his dominant Democratic Party is so beholden to the already-rich greens that the state is paralyzed.
So the oil remains locked in the ground, as one million Californians look for work, as its schools and roads deteriorate, and as it keeps raising taxes to balance the budget. What a tragedy. Imagine how fast the U.S. economy would grow if California were more like Texas.

After you've played Ren Faire with the same group for a while, the performance requirements seem old. All of us have had to bellydance, act like a hyper kid, etc, etc. I suppose we could crank out some more ideas for performances, but I'm wondering how others have kept it fresh.
How do you keep the performances from being "same old thing?"

Kim Alexis is the draw, but Dalmatian steals the show at PetAid Colorado Mutts & Models
It was bound to happen eventually: Put a dog in a fashion show like PetAid Colorado's popular Mutts & Models and sooner or later one of them is going to do what dogs frequently do when out for a walk.
And this year it did.
Guilty — a perfect name, considering the situation — is a handsome Dalmatian who was recruited to walk the Mutts & Models runway with Matt Horton, a firefighter with the Longmont department. They had paused the end of the runway and just turned to head back when Guilty, who had been referred to PetAid Colorado during the 9PetCheck, decided it was as good a time as any to answer nature's call.
So he did.
To a roar of laughter and thunderous applause.
News that former supermodel Kim Alexis, who lives in Boulder, would be taking part in the show helped spur ticket sales. And she didn't disappoint.
She walked with her dog, Mocha, and like the other female models, wore clothing from White House Black Market in Cherry Creek North.
The male models included Chris Parente and his chi-weenie, Hurley; Chris Jose from Fox-31 with his adorable Chloe; and 7News chief meterologist Mike Nelson with Tillie, one of three Pugs that share the Nelson home with Mike and his wife, Cindy.
Colorado's former first lady, Frances Owens and her daughter, Monica, modeled with Monica's dog, Cheney, in the show emceed by Jake Schroeder, best known for singing the National Anthem at Colorado Avalanche home games and for being the founder of the former Opie Gone Bad.
A live auction called by former Denver Bronco Reggie Rivers helped bring the evening's proceeds to $260,000.
Viva Paws Vegas was the theme this year, and during the silent auction social that preceded dinner, guests could have their pictures taken with costumed show girls, try their luck at card games and be entertained by a Blue Man Group tribute act.
The showgirls, in feathers and fishnets, also escorted Reggie Rivers to his spot on the stage. "They go with me everywhere," he declared. "We were at Safeway earlier."
PetAid executive director Ralph Johnson and board president Dean Vicksman, a veterinarian at Evans East Animal Hospital, welcomed a crowd that included Cindy Lee, whose Wags and Menace Make A Difference Foundation sponsored the VIP reception and the "wag bags" that every guest received; Holly Hoting and Gary Brauer; Mark and Kristen Owens; John Beauprez; Todd Wheeler; and such PetAid board members as Dr. Apryl Steele; Meg Armstrong; Chris Clemens, David Sheldon and Marlon Neely.
Also, Debrah Schnackenberg, PetAid's director of disaster services; Laura Schwinkendorf from Barefoot Public Relations; and Nancy Alterman, Cheryl Hiltzik and Mitzi Townshend, whose TriCuzz Productions did the evening's video.
