Tuesday Tunes--December 1, 2015
Shaun Cordingley
As we start the final month of 2015 (and try not to think about all of the things we did not get done in the year), I thought it would be good to stick with a little bit more of a dance-y, fun track list for Tuesday Tunes, especially for those of you who had to work Black Friday retail...
The Guys From do not hold the rights to any of these songs, it is more our hope to expose our readers to new and different music, or re-expose them to things they may have forgotten about.
At the top of each section, will be the song name, followed by the artists' name linked to their website, so you can fall down the rabbit hole, finding and supporting what you dig.
Swings and Waterslides - Viola Beach
Let's start off a new month with a bit of upbeat indie pop rock from the Warrington UK band Viola Beach with their single 'Swings and Waterslides'. This track, the band's debut single, dropped this August is a perfect slice of that sunny, English indie pop that makes you want to get up and dance a bit, but at the same time does not have the same overproduced feeling a lot of radio friendly music that gets released over here does. They have something of a modern pop-Oasis feeling to them, without all the beatings...
The band, for all intents and purposes, formed in May, debuted their single, and have already played the Reading Festival, and are currently gigging around the U.K.
Dancing on Glass - St. Lucia
Next up is South African born, Brooklyn based indie electronic artist Jean-Philip Grobler, better known as his stage name St. Lucia with this deliciously 1980s style synthpop track 'Dancing on Glass'. I cannot quite put my finger on which 80s artist(s) this track reminds me of, but perhaps that is the genius of it; while it is not a direct ancestor of any one sound, it really rolls off as an homage to the entire sub-genre, including a "very aware of what it is" video (seriously, the guy running through the desert spraying himself with bronzer...awesome).
You may recognize the name St. Lucia (musically, not the island) for his remixes of songs by Passion Pit, Foster the People or Joywave, but I for one look forward to hearing more of his solo work, especially if it continues to be this well thought out, and dance-able.
Midway - Bad Bad Hats
Minneapolis makes another appearance here on Tuesday Tunes with this, the first track off of Bad Bad Hats' debut album Psychic Reader: 'Midway'. This is a dreamy indie folk rock track, with a definite and sad theme (in case you were worried this week was going to be nothing but happiness), but it has an endlessly listenable hook to it, and is one of those songs that I find myself listening to on repeat every time I hear it.
Lead guitarist and vocalist Kerry Alexander has a very sweet voice, which often masks some introspective and well crafted lyrics; I definitely recommend listening to 'Midway' a couple times to get past the surface layer and you will really start to get a sense of how good Bad Bad Hats can be. Or don't think about it at all, and just enjoy a really good song; I don't judge.
Closer(ftr. Jennie A) - Lemaitre
For anyone who is into the electronic scene, Lemaitre is definitely a name you have heard of, probably for their third EP Relativity 2 which reached #1 on electronic charts in both Canada and the U.S.A., but for those of you unfamiliar, here is their latest track in 'Closer'. This Norwegian indie electro house duo have been producing excellent songs since their 2010 debut The Friendly Sound, and 'Closer' is just another fun and funky example of what they do. Featuring snappy piano, beautiful lyrics (and vocals by Jennie A), and that electro-house base beat to get you moving, 'Closer' is a great place to jump into Lemaitre.
There's also always a chance that, maybe you just want a music video featuring the intensity of European fencing and cooking schools, because fencing. Well Lemaitre's got you covered there too.
Get Down - Jess Kent
Probably the purest pop song that will ever appear on a Tuesday Tunes, 'Get Down', the debut from Sydney, Australia's Jess Kent is one of those songs that the first time you hear it, you just know it is one of those tracks that you are probably going to hear absolutely everywhere, and soon. Catchy, fun, and well-written, 'Get Down' exemplifies a lot of the best of what pop music can offer.
There is that hope that it might not get overplayed, allowing Jess Kent to develop beyond her debut, but right now, it is just one of the best, happy pop songs of the year, and there is no reason to hold, what I can only imagine it's popularity will be (or deserves to be), against it now.
As promised, here is the November Tuesday Tunes Apple Music Playlist, with all the tunes from the month built together into a set list (as if I was spinning them for you somewhere, just without being able to talk your through hard transitions).
The October Apple Music Playlist is still available of course as well, in case you have not caught that one yet (or just need more theguysfrom.com in your life).
Support what you dig! It's soooo much cheaper than anything else out there. You cannot even buy a Christmas Chocolate for what one of the songs listed here would cost you....
See you again next Tuesday with 5 more tracks.

After seeing lot of praise for the Valvoline 4T premium 20W50 for the Bajaj Pulsar. I wanted to try the same. As you can see, Castrol is 20W40 and Valvoline is 20W50. Bajaj recommends 20W40 for my 2006 year model hence I have used this oil for all these years. Newer Pulsar needs 20W50. Nevertheless, 20W50 is any day superior over 20W40 when the engine encounter high heat. 20W50 oil retains viscosity over 20W40 during high engine temperature.
For a decade I have only used the Castrol 20W40 4T oil. I thought that was a good oil but after trying out Valvoline, I really see a noticeable difference in engine smoothness. Many say the Valvoline is best suited for Pulsar motorcycle.
I have used an engine flush while changing the oil.
My findings:
+ Cheap to buy
– Low draining period
– Engine sounds harsh. Also it is just 20W40, so not suitable for extensive touring where the engine encounter lot of heat.
– Draining interval is around 1500KMs
– Oil evaporation is high
+ Smooth engine
+ Slightly longer draining period. Many say around 2500 KM.
– Oil evaporation is very high than the Castrol. I have refilled 250ml oil onto the engine. I am glad I have bought two cans of the oil.

At Christmastime cities and towns decked out for the holidays are at their most beautiful, everyone is in good spirits, and it's a perfect opportunity to discover how holidays are celebrated elsewhere. Visitors to Barcelona, Spain will discover an interesting mix of Christian celebrations and Catalan traditions during the winter holiday season. Mild Mediterranean weather, fewer tourists than in summer months, and special holiday events make December and January a wonderful time of the year to travel to this coastal city. Here are just a few reasons to visit Barcelona during the winter holidays.
Celebrate winter holidays in Barcelona
Instead of a visit from Santa Claus, families in Barcelona celebrate the season with Tio de Nadal, a burning log which is placed out on December 8 and nurtured until Christmas Eve, when treats are dispersed. Christmas Day and New Year's are celebrated in Barcelona, but much more significance is given to the Feast of the Three Kings on January 5 and the celebration of the Epiphany on January 6. On the Feast of the Three Kings there is a procession through the streets of Barcelona and sweets are handed out to children. Later that evening children set out their shoes to be filled by the kings and young ones wake up to gifts the following morning.
Sightseeing in Barcelona during the winter
Even during the holiday season, a tour of Barcelona is a wonderful way for visitors to take in the city's main tourist attractions, such as the Gaudi-designed Sagrada Familia Cathedral and Park Guell, La Boqueria open-air market and the famous tree-lined pedestrian walkway known as La Rambla. All of the typical tourist attractions can be experienced while enjoying the holiday atmosphere and seasonal activities.
Shop the Christmas markets
One of the best parts of traveling to Europe during the holiday season is visiting the traditional markets that spring up in cities across the continent. The best known market in Barcelona is Fira de Santa Llucia which dates to 1786 and runs from late November until December 23. Another popular market is Fira de Nadal, which sets up in front of La Sagrada Familia. The markets are the fabulous place to shop for all types of handmade crafts and Christmas greenery as well as nativity scenes and figures.
Other seasonal attractions and activities
Els Ilums de Nadal—the Barcelona Christmas lights—are turned on by the mayor during a ceremony near the end of November. The lighting ceremony coincides with Barcelona Shopping Night, when shops are open late. Once the lights have been illuminated, there is a festive spirit in the air and visitors will enjoy strolling the streets along with Barcelonians, admiring the enchanting lights and doing some Christmas shopping.
Another seasonal activity is ice skating at the open air rink in Plaza Catalunya, the biggest ice rink in Europe. During the winter holidays, visitors enjoy viewing nativity scenes at Sagrada Familia and at the Barcelona Cathedral and viewing Christmas water and music show at visiting the Magic Fountain of Montjuic.
Although not reserved for the holidays, anyone coming to Barcelona must sample churros with chocolate at least once during a visit to this Mediterranean city. Chocolate shops here serve up a delicious hot chocolate (so thick that it requires a spoon) along with cinnamon-dusted churros for dipping. This is a great treat during the cooler winter weather and the perfect way to cap off a day of shopping and sightseeing in Barcelona.
What is your favorite European city to visit during the winter holiday season? Let us know in the comments!

"I can't wait to come back next year," he said. "I don't care who's in my way — I'm being a state champion."
The Buckeye State's wrestling community opened its arms to McKinley's Ruben Burrows this weekend.
The Bulldogs junior 135-pounder rolled into Value City Arena mostly unknown before scrapping his way into Saturday night's state final against Springboro's Cody Shivener.
"He came out of left field," said Intermatwrestle.com's Josh Lowe, Ohio's preeminent high school analyst. "I didn't even have him picked in my top 16."
Shivener spoiled Burrows' party by rolling out the barrels in a 16-6 major decision.
The senior three-time high school placer and first-time champ used the barrel roll to counter every Burrows attack, and score with it.
"I thought I had him every time I shot on him," said Burrows. "I thought I could get him with a headlock at least. But that barrel roll was nice.
"(Perry's Zack) Dailey told me, 'Just watch out for that barrel roll and you'll be OK.' I tried, but he's good at it."
Dailey had wrestled and defeated Shivener earlier in the season. Burrows got into Shivener's body several times, only to be rolled over by Shivener's move. He hit it twice in the first period, adding three back points once to lead, 7-1, after two minutes.
"I got destroyed," Burrows said. "I thought, 'I've got to do something.' "
He did. He reversed Shivener in the second period, took him down in the third, hustling and moving and shooting throughout.
A four-point move near the end of the second, though, gave Shivener a 13-4 lead and the barrels were starting to roll in Springboro.
When the match ended, his season done at 37-5, Burrows' smile rolled on.
He got off the mat with a big smile, his trademark that enticed the fans along with the fact no McKinley wrestler had placed this high since 1975 — 36 years ago.
"I had to make it positive," said Burrows, who carried his smile to the podium where he received a big hand from the crowd. "Every day here was amazing."
Burrows is already planning a return.
"I can't wait to come back next year," he said. "I don't care who's in my way — I'm being a state champion."
McKinley's Ruben Burrows acknowledges the crowd at Value City Arena after finishing runner-up in Division I at 135 pounds.
Ruben Burrows of McKinley wrestles Cody Shivener of Springboro during the 74th Annual State Wrestling Tournament on Saturday in Columbus.
McKinley's Burrows pulls off 2 upsets, will wrestle for title
Brian Brakeman was one of the few who had seen this before.
"Somewhere, Harold Smith is smiling," said the author of 40 years of the Brakeman Report, Ohio's annual take on high school wrestling.
McKinley junior Ruben Burrows was smiling too — that wonderful, ear-to-ear smile of a winner. Friday, Burrows became the first Bulldog since Smith in 1975 to reach the state championship match.
Burrows took down St. Edward's Nick Barber at the end of regulation for a 3-1 semifinal win — sending many in the crowd at Value City Arena into cheers.
"I heard the crowd," Burrows said. "I heard it, it was like 'ooooooooooohhhhh.' I was happy. ... Just making history at Canton McKinley feels great."
Burrows (37-4) will go for the final piece of the pie tonight when he faces Springboro's Cody Shivener (42-2). Smith, who lost his final in 1975, won the last McKinley title the year before that.
Nobody but Burrows and Bulldog coach Ron Courtney believed he could get this far. He was a blip in Brakeman's eyes at 20th, while online expert Josh Lowe had him going one and done.
All Burrows did was beat the "experts' " No. 1 pick, Ty Davis of Lakota West, 7-5 in overtime in his quarterfinal match. "I believed before the match," said Burrows.
He wrestled like it. He came out and attacked in both matches, surprising Davis with a blast double in the OT and forcing Barber to take an ill-advised shot in the final 20 seconds.
"That's his style," said Rae McDonald of the Stark County Wrestling Club, where Burrows toils in the offseason. "He's fearless. He's got nothing to lose and he just keeps doing what he does till he finds something."
But even Burrows' smile was dimmed when Barber blocked shot after shot after shot. He had no points and trailed 1-0 through two periods.
"He had good defense," said Burrows. "I was I worried because I couldn't do anything. I was getting frustrated because I couldn't get in on his legs.
"He took a shot and I got his leg like I worked in practice."
Barber's countered shots proved to be his demise.
"(Barber) came around from the back, (Burrows) almost got taken down," Courtney said. "But he rolled the ankle and came out the back and scored, almost ended up sticking him right there.
"Everything we worked on all week in practice he's done, and it has advanced him every time. ... Hard work pays off."
It worked to the extent that the Perry wrestlers and fans were cheering on Burrows.
"Very cool," said Panthers 140-pounder Zack Dailey, who also made the state finals. "I work out with him a lot. We're good friends. It's just crazy."
"This pumps me up for the championship match," Burrows said of winning the two close matches. "It will make me work harder.
"Hopefully in the championship match it ain't that close."
Somewhere, Harold Smith is hoping Burrows joins him in the record book.

State wrestling notebook: McKinley wrestler wins opener
The McKinley Bulldog 135-pounder is used to scoring points. When a scoreless period passed and he couldn't control Westerville North's Stephan Alger from on top to start the second, Burrows' pulse rate elevated.
"I was a little nervous," said Burrows, the first McKinley wrestler to reach Columbus since 1995. "Then when I was behind, I was like, 'I've got to do something.' "
The slick, quick Burrows did "something" all right. He got on Alger in a hurry and took him to the mat and his back for five points.
With another takedown right off the bat to open the third period, Burrows led 7-1 on his way to a 12-2 major decision.
"He is beyond that," Bulldogs coach Ron Courtney said. "He was looking toward his next match as soon as he got off the mat.
"He got the jitters out of the way."
"I've got a guaranteed two more matches," Burrows said. "I want to keep wrestling."

McKinley's Burrows qualifies for state in wrestling
"Everyone at school was talking about it. People came up congratulating me, saying 'good job' and all kinds of stuff," Burrows said Monday night.
It's not every day a Bulldog like Burrows makes it to state in wrestling. The last time it happened, in 1995, Burrows had just been born.
"Man, that's a long time ago," the Mentor district runner-up said.
McKinley fourth-year wrestling coach Ron Courtney said it's fitting his 135-pounder is heading to Columbus because he is "old school."
"He's a great kid, a real hard worker," said Courtney. "Sometimes you get what you deserve."
Nothing is given to you in wrestling. You go all out for six minutes, at least. Burrows gets that.
So he rises early to run the treadmill in his basement and then hits it hard again — after practice.
"I sprint 20 minutes and jog 30," Burrows said of his conditioning exercise away from the mat and weight room. "It helped me in football with my conditioning. I also do curls and pushups, but the treadmill really helps."
Playing big-time football doesn't hurt on the mats either. The 5-foot-9, 153-pound Burrows played defensive back for the Bulldogs last fall. He used his quickness and instincts to intercept three passes.
Being stuck out on the island as a defensive back is akin to standing in the circle, Burrows said.
"It's just you out on the mat," he said. "If you mess up, there is nobody else to blame."
Accepting that, knowing how difficult the sport is and how much time and effort is put in makes Burrows a very good wrestler, Courtney said. Loving the sport over football? That separates him from the red-and-black pack around the school.
"He's a good football player," Courtney said. "But his love is wrestling."
It could have been another sport.
"I started wrestling at Crenshaw Middle School," Burrows said. "In the sixth grade I went out for basketball but didn't make the team. My dad suggested I try another sport, so I started wrestling."
Turns out he was a natural.
"He's very quick. He can score from anywhere on the mat," Courtney said. "He's an extremely tough kid and he's tough mentally.
"He's got four losses this year. Two came at the North Canton tournament in the first two weeks of the season, after football playoffs. He lost on a double disqualification to Jackson's Joe Donley, there's just a good rivalry there. And he lost 6-2 (to Mentor's Alex Sweeney) in the district finals.
"He's got that killer instinct — it's something you can't coach."
Burrows is, obviously, Courtney's first state qualifier. The last Bulldog to place at state was Steve Bobish in 1988.
"That was my goal, to make it to state," Burrows said. Then he changed his mind.
"No, I want to place at state," he said.
He's not settling. That's old school.
McKinley's Ruben Burrows hopes to experience victory this weekend at the state wrestling tournament in Columbus. A McKinley wrestler has not placed since Steve Bobish in 1989.

This was my city all these people were invading and much like that really awesome house party that will still reach an endpoint when you want your space to be yours again I was as glad to see everyone leave as I was to have them there partying with me. And it was even nicer to not be one of the ones leaving.
Thank you DC for:

My first project will be a 2D puzzle platformer. The basic concept that will make this game unique comes from the 8-puzzle, a game consisting of a 3×3 board in which you can make a sequence of slide operations on numbered tiles into adjacent empty spaces in order to sort the tiles numerically. This game's environment will be using a similar tile structure in which each tile is a traversable set of blocks. As the player traversing through these tiles, he will be able to shift or rotate the tile in which he is currently located in order to alter the environment. By manipulating the world, the player will be able to navigate within and between the tiles in order to reach the goal.
Take this simple mockup for example:
In this example, the player (blue tile) begins in the bottom left tile and is trying to reach the goal (green tile) in the top right tile. The player cannot reach the upper two rows, so he approaches the help box (yellow tile) in the bottom right tile, which informs him about sliding tiles. Following the help's advice, the player shifts the bottom right tile into the middle right position. From there, the player can navigate to the middle left tile and shift up to the top left. Finally, the player can progress to the goal in the top right.
In addition to shifting tiles, this game will also feature rotating blocks CW or CCW as well as flipping blocks horizontally and vertically. As the player progresses the environment will also become more complex with larger level dimensions, new tile dimensions (such as 1×2), and new obstacles. Of course, the game will also feature simple 2D physics and collisions. I will go into more detail into the game's specific features as they present themselves during development.
This game will be developed using the Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 in C#. This project is intended to be fairly small in scope and I'm viewing it as a learning experience. It is something that I can have fun working on and share with others as I go along. I'm very much looking forward to working on this project and seeing it through to completion, and I hope you enjoy following along as well.

(This is part 1 of a 4 part series)
Here is an example of how the candidates on the Republican side want to balance the budget. As usual they want to take from the poor and working class Americans to give to the rich, instead of doing a top down economic model they want to use a bottom up model. This will continue to reallocate the wealth of the nation from the bottom to the top, as it has been going for the past few decades.
"We will require agency heads to present five to up to as much as 20 percent reductions in their annual budget," Giuliani says in one ad, titled "Will Do." "It's the only way to reduce spending . . . I will restore fiscal discipline and cut wasteful spending in Washington."[1]
I have never understood why spending money to improve the lives of the poor, improve the quality of our food and water supply, and providing quality public education is considered wasteful; while giving money to corporations is considered worthy. We must change our priorities from corporate welfare and the military industrial complex to the quality of life issues for all Americans. We will never be able to provide government by the people, for the people until we remove the corporate influence from our political landscape. This will be very difficult due to the fact that for some ungodly reason corporations were given the status of personhood for the purpose of legal standing. With the 1886 Supreme Court decision in Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific, the personhood of the corporation began and with it came the death knell of we the people by the people government. Here is how one great American put it.
"Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."[2]
To read this, one could imagine that it was written recently by an attorney familiar with the recent corporate malfeasance cases or the recent Medicare prescription drug debacle, but you would be wrong. This was written over 140 years ago by Abraham Lincoln, and they have turned out to be prophetic. Through a series of maneuvers corporations have won personhood in some sort of surreal alter reality. Corporations are not people; they never have been and never will be. The goal of a corporation is to reflect the collective investment goals of its shareholders, because of its legal fiduciary function as prescribed by law. Because of this singular goal all other pursuits are non-existent, pursuits that we as humans ascribe a moral value. Corporations are not bound by any moral codes of behavior and hence are able to pursue their only goal profits at the expense of all other goals, even if this creates harm or death to others. This is evidenced by all of the corporate scandals, death, and mayhem visited upon us by the pursuit of profit margins and share price. Let's not be fooled despite those feel-good corporate image commercials, corporations do not have a conscience to express.
What does all this history have to do with democracy today you may ask? It is relevant because we are expecting corporations to behave like citizens and people and they cannot. Because they have no conscience to prick, to expect them to stop using their money to influence and buy government officials because of our outrage is foolish and naïve. Make no mistake it is not just the Republicans that do the bidding of the corporations, it is the Democrats as well. There does not seem to be a shortage of corporate lackeys taking their turns at the troughs of corporate money. These corporations have poisoned our political dialog and have short circuited our democracy. Until both parties get serious about reigning in the corporations we will just be spitting into the wind with any talk of political change.
How is it possible that the majority of Americans can be against a bill or a policy and yet that bill or policy still goes forward? As long as we continue to allow money to pollute our system, we have no democracy. It is funny how others can see what we have become so blind to. It is not cultural or racial why others in the world do not want our democracy; they see the hypocrisy of it all. They recognize that corporations will reign over the people, that the pursuit of profits will create an immoral entity that will overrule the will of the people.
I believe that to return to government for the people, by the people we will need to begin to reform our system. I propose beginning in 3 areas, while these are not cure-alls they will atleast begin to reverse the current trend. Please continue to follow this series for my proposals.

Detox is a buzz word these days and it means different things to different people. When we talk about detox, we are referring to the practices we do and actions we take to reduce or eliminate anything that keeps us from living our optimal, healthful and happiest lives.
To fully detox we need to address all of lifestyle and diet, including our social connections and work situation. Our "lifestyle" can't be experienced in a vacuum, and we can't just add mindfulness practices when we are alone first thing in the morning and then close the door on them as we step into the world of our day-to-day.
In our Reset and Renew Detox groups, we mostly cover the diet piece, although we bring in some lifestyle practices and mindfulness to round out the process. In this post we will focus on everything we can do outside of detoxing our diet. Here are some tips that we have learned along the way:
- Identify what is inflammatory to you and remove it from your daily life:
- Turn the radio and/or tv off, especially when the news is upsetting. This doesn't mean you will become out of touch with reality, it just means that you will give yourself the gift of controlling what information you let in, and when. You can set a time of day to look at your favorite publications online. This is especially important when sharing space with others (say during a car ride), when you have the option of choosing soothing or joyful music, silence, or conversation.
- Being late/in a hurry can be very inflammatory. The stress I put myself through when I am late starts a very unhealthy cascade in my body. This is one of the places I am constantly working on in order to more fully show up for others, as well as a way to show up for myself. My mantra now is "leave early and go slow" rather than my usual pattern of "do as much as possible as fast as possible."
- Be mindful of how you communicate: once you say or express a thought/feeling/opinion, you can't take it back. Reducing inflammation means making sure you are not inflammatory to others as well. I highly recommend the work of my friend and teacher, Alejandra Siroka at Language Alchemy. We can all do better at speaking with authenticity and communicating from the heart, while inspiring collaboration rather than disagreement.
- Pay attention to limiting thoughts. Sending your cells toxic messages can take a toll: they will believe you! The first step is to be aware of when you do this, and then find a way to reverse the trend. A simple out-loud "cancel, cancel" can help, and then refocus the thought to something positive that you want to materialize in your life.
- The outside reflects the inside: take some time each day, or even each week, to take stock of your surroundings. Is every surface in your home taken up with stuff? Are your closets so packed that you can't see what is in them? Does your fridge have biological experiments in leftover jars? Cleaning up, making your bed, and putting away things that are out of place have an immense impact on our wellbeing and clarity of thought. Clutter makes chaos, both in our environment and in our bodies.
- To let go of clutter in the body, try time-restricted eating. Since we are not getting into the details of a detox diet in this post, we simply recommend eating your normal diet within a 10-12 hour window. If you have your first meal at 8am, have your last meal by 8pm, and slowly bring that down to 6pm. Water and tea is ok (no sugar of any kind or milk with your tea, though).
- Take a break from people that bring you down. Distance from difficult relationships can allow for healing and for a different perspective.
- Sleep. Let the body do its own clean up. Certain maintenance processes can only happen when we are completely relaxed and not getting outside stimulus, so make going to bed by no later than 11pm a priority. At our house we've had to put the wi-fi on a timer to help us along. This achieves 2 benefits: the first is we get to sleep earlier, the second being that there is no wi-fi going around when we don't need it – more on issues with EMF later).
- Identify what gives you joy and do more of it: detoxing is both about what we let go of and what in put in place.
- Find something you love about yourself every day. We don't tend to take care of something we don't love, so be specific and either journal about it or just tell yourself out loud while laying in bed or looking in the mirror. Every meaningful change starts with love.

Our family decided to take a little field trip today to an art museum. Reading this, you may think we are very cultured (we're not, by the way). However, an opportunity came up for my husband and older boys to see the original paintings used for the illustrations in a book they've all read–Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson. While I am a big reader too, I have not read this particular book, but the artsy side of me did kind of want to see these paintings. The series of illustrative paintings was done by N.C. Wyeth, an artist from our region. There were 17 paintings made in the series, all about as tall or taller than myself. They were being displayed temporarily at the Brandywine River Museum in PA, where lots of other Wyeth paintings are as well. Also in the collection were some of N.C. Wyeth's other works commissioned for book illustrations. We had a great time, though once past the "pirate paintings," my little guys were ready to be done. Here's some pics of what we saw:
To show you how uncultured I am, I took these pics while in the museum gallery itself. A couple people looked at me funny, so I whispered to my husband, "Is it okay for me to take pictures in here?" "Oh yeah, you're fine," he assured me. Don't you know, as soon as we left that room, I looked back at the doorway and saw a big NO Photos sign. Whoops! I tucked the camera away after that.
I hope you all had a great weekend as well.

If that's not the academic version of a controversial headline, I don't know what is…
Kendra Little finds a C# developer who wants to become a database administrator:
I've been a C# developer since year 2000. I want to move to be a DBA. I've started getting involved at user groups and SQL Saturdays but nobody wants to hire me as a DBA.
I have been trying to move to other companies but my resume is strongly inclined to show my C#, front end experience. I know for a fact that I'm really good on SQL as I keep solving problems in every other project but no one seems to pay really attention to the DB. I have noticed that when applying for positions I get called for my C# experience but not when applying only to SQL jobs.
Should I find a Junior DBA position and take a pay cut?
That transition can be difficult, but I think Kendra's answer is a good one.
On the opposite side, Daniel Janik looks at developers who shouldn't go down that track:
I recently helped out with a .NET MVC project running on SQL Server 2016 where I found some pretty interesting stored procedures. I've seen a lot of really creative SQL but these were completely puzzling.
The database included many to many tables for customers who have addresses and phone numbers. A "mapping" table was created for the tables so they could map to a customer.
Normally you'd think a simple JOIN would suffice to get a list of addresses or phone numbers for a customer. These was done a way that I've never seen before.
Simon Phipps reports that MariaDB is now a commercial product:
MariaDB Corp. has announced that release 2.0 of its MaxScale database proxy software is henceforth no longer open source. The organization has made it source-available under a proprietary license that promises each release will eventually become open source once it's out of date.
MaxScale is at the pinnacle of MariaDB Corp.'s monetization strategy — it's the key to deploying MariaDB databases at scale. The thinking seems to be that making it mandatory to pay for a license will extract top dollar from deep-pocketed corporations that might otherwise try to use it free of charge. This seems odd for a company built on MariaDB, which was originally created to liberate MySQL from the clutches of Oracle.
Rukmani Gopalan and Apostolos Lerios show how to perform image processing using U-SQL:
We have published C# libraries that supply UDOs and UDFs for processing images with U-SQL in our GitHub site. In this section, we introduce these UDOs and UDFs and, in the next section, we use them within a U-SQL walkthrough to operate on images.
The basic flow behind processing images in U-SQL has three stages:
Use the custom UDO extractor ImageExtractor to read a (JPEG or non-JPEG) image file and return the image data as a byte[] column value which contains the same exact image as the file in an (always) JPEG representation. Please note that there is a current limitation in U-SQL that a row cannot exceed a size of 4 MB, so you will run into issues if your image size is greater than 4 MB.
Use the image processing UDFs to manipulate this byte[] (the UDFs support JPEG and non-JPEG representations within this byte[] despite the previous step always producing a JPEG representation). For example, one UDF extracts metadata from an image to produce textual or numeric data. More interesting UDFs derive an output image from an input image; that output represents the visually transformed input (e.g. rotated or scaled/resized), also stored as a byte[] containing an (always) JPEG representation of the output.
Use the custom UDO outputter ImageOutputter to writes each byte[] to a JPEG image file so that we can view the output images of the aforementioned UDFs.
The major value proposition to me for U-SQL is "doing stuff SQL can't do very well." This is one of those cases.
Richie Lee has a Powershell snippet to replace text:
Below is a function that will search in a string and replace a character in a variable. Simple enough. It generally saves time in calling this from a helper file in source control for tidying up variables that are passed in to a Powershell function that aren't quite formatted as required. A good example of this is upstream build variables with spaces in TeamCity.
Click through for the script.
Ed Elliott has a Visual Studio extension to run tSQLt tests:
What is this?
This lets you use Visual Studio to run tSQLt tests easily. Visual Studio has a built in framework for finding and executing tests so that if you have tSQLt tests in an SSDT project for example, although this just requires you have the .sql files in source control and does not require ssdt – you can easily see and execute your tests via the Visual Studio Test Explorer window. It is also available for use in your favorite build server via the vstest.console.exe tool or if you have vsts then you can use the default test task.
Combined with Visual Studio database tests for integration testing, this gives you a pretty fair start on database testing technology.
Gianluca Sartori is happy that SQL Server Management Studio now looks better on 4K and high DPI screens:
One of the most popular posts on this bog describes how to enable bitmap scaling is SSMS on high DPI displays, which is a sign that more and more people are starting to use 4K displays and are unhappy with SSMS's behaviour at high DPI. The solution described in that post is to enable bitmap scaling, which renders graphic objects correctly, at the price of some blurriness.
The good news is that starting with SSMS 16.3 high DPI displays are finally first class citizens and SSMS does its best to scale objects properly. By default, SSMS will keep using bitmap scaling: in order to enable DPI scaling you will have to use a manifest file.
There is some setup work, but I am pleased that they're doing this.
Tomaz Kastrun describes using Resource Governor with Microsoft R Services:
Setting external resource pool for execution of R commands using sp_execute_external_script has proven extremely useful, especially in cases where you have other workers present, when you don't want to overdo on data analysis and get to much resources from others (especially when running data analysis in production environment) or when you know that your data analysis will require maximum CPU and memory for a specific period. In such cases using and definingexternal resource pool is not only useful but highly recommended.
Resource governor is a feature that enables you to manage SQL Server workload and system resource consumption their limits. Limits can be configures for any workload in terms of CPU, Memory and I/O consumption. Where you have many different workloads on the same SQL Server, resource Governor helps allocate requested resources.
If you're concerned about R soaking up all of your server's memory, Resource Governor is a great way of limiting that risk.
Max Trinidad reports that Microsoft is making Powershell a cross-platform language:
This is PowerShell Core only, Alpha Version 184.108.40.206 and there's a lot of work to do. Bugs and feedback are been submitted as the community are contributing for it success.
This version is also available for Windows 10 / Server 2016 and Windows 8.1 / Server 2012 R2. You can have it side-by-side with the current version of PowerShell.
Max has notes on how to install it on Ubuntu. Given that Microsoft is bringing Bash to Windows and Powershell to Linux, these are interesting times.
Jason Brimhall has a roundup of T-SQL Tuesday #081:
One of the tricks to becoming and staying a top tier data talent or professional is a perpetual cycle to learn, adapt, change, and evolve. We must be in a continual cycle of self evaluation and self modification. Let's call this by something else – we must be agile. There I said the five letter word. Think about it in broad strokes with your career – it is a development process with perpetual evaluation, review and tweaks.
Now think about the invite and see how that fits with what I just said or with the, cough cough, agile flow. You start (albeit very basically) with a need for enhancement, then you plan which pieces of the enhancement you can accomplish, you then do the work (whether successful or not), then after you deliver the work you conclude with a retrospective (what went well and what needs to change). Yes! I do feel rather dirty for sneaking this on everybody like this. That said, when you think about the model and apply it in broad strokes to your career path – it has merit.
Read on to see who participated this month and Jason's thoughts.

Need-to-Know When Buying Restaurant Business in Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is one of the most exciting cities in Canada. Located in southern Ontario along river Niagara, this city receives millions of tourist in a year. They come from different parts of the world to witness two of the largest falls in the world. As the city is still growing, real estate business in the city is also expanding. Buying and selling of real estate such as restaurant business in Niagara Falls is occurring fast and with ease than in most cities. This is because reputable restaurants are having a good market in this location.
Before owning your own restaurant business in Niagara Falls, you should know the advantages and the drawbacks of buying one or starting your own from scratch. Generally, starting your own restaurant is quite a difficult task than buying an existing one. The first difficulty arises in finding the best location for your business. This task becomes difficult because most of the best locations for a restaurant are already occupied by others. You will therefore be required to either settle for a less convenient location unless you are very lucky to find a vacant space. Buying a restaurant on the other hand involves picking one from the best location from the already existing restaurants that are for sale.
Buying a restaurant business also takes more time and effort. This is because you are able to get an already operational restaurant. You get staff that has already been trained and gained experience in the restaurant industry. You will also get equipment that is already fit in the business. You therefore get an immediate cash flow since you begin operating as soon as you complete the transaction. Starting from scratch involves hiring and training staff, buying equipment, getting your suppliers, licenses and permits amongst others. This process is both time consuming and tiresome. You also have to have a larger amount of initial capital since cash flow does not begin immediately.
You can be able to evaluate the profitability of the restaurant if you decide to buy one. This information can be deduced from the past performance of the business you want to buy. You can get this by analyzing financial statements, inventory, assets, lease and other documents. You do not get this benefit if you decide to start to build your own restaurant from scratch.
Although buying a restaurant business in Niagara Falls is better than starting your own, you need to be very careful when making this deal. First, you need to discover why the seller is willing to sell the business. This is to avoid buying a restaurant that already has a bad reputation. It is also good to investigate the claims of the seller concerning the profitability of the business. Check also if the tax records are properly kept and updated. Consider also the lease agreement so as not to get yourself in a bad lease. Also check the value of the equipment and deduct cost of repairs if required. Finally, verify the credibility of all the staff and suppliers that you inherit from the past owner.

Add #SameTribe to your social media platforms if you want to bring awareness to fatherlessness
1 in 3 women have been the victim of sexual assault or harassment.
1 in 3 women are fatherless.
Although the 2 are not mutually exclusive the silence can be. In our society, women are taught to be ashamed of things that happen TO them. In the sometimes brainwashed mentality of our society we often blame the victim first. I believe this has a lot to do with why, we as fatherless daughters, tend to keep our emotions of loss, shame and guilt to ourselves when it comes to fatherlessness. We don't want to bring attention to a) our fathers and b) our loss or abandonment. The reasons are twofold. As fatherless daughters we do not want to bring any negative attention to our fathers if they indeed abandoned us for fear that it will completely severe the already broken bond. If our fathers have passed, we do not want to bring attention to our sorrow for fear of having to explain why we can't seem to get over it. We don't want to bring pain to our family members who may be coping, or seemingly coping, in their own unique ways. In short, we don't talk about it. Here in lies the problem, fatherlessness is a life journey. It does not go away. It changes and grows as we do. If we stay silent we will continue to be in pain alone. There is a sisterhood out there just waited to embrace you.
When Alyssa Milano started the hashtag "#metoo" it finally gave us women a way to come forward to share our stories. Women from all over the nation have found strength in numbers by using their social media platforms to speak up about their sexual assault or harassment. By speaking up, the accusers lose their power, and women in droves gain their own. So, I got to thinking…how about if fatherless daughters had their own hashtag and it went viral?
Now I know I am no Alyssa Milano, but I am game to try anything to bring awareness to the silent epidemic of fatherlessness. If you are reading this and feel moved to help us bring awareness to fatherlessness, simply add #sametribe to your social media platform. You are welcome to share your story along with it or just post #sametribe. By doing either, you are allowing your voice and the pain of others to find the light of day.
Thank you in advance for helping us get the message out. We need our fathers.

Your FICO Score
In today's increasingly automated society, it should come as no surprise that when you apply for a mortgage, your ability to pay can be reduced to a single number. All the years you've been paying your mortgage, car payments, and credit card bills can be analyzed, sliced, diced, spindled and mutilated into a single indicator of whether you're likely to meet your future obligations.
All three of the major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) use a slightly different system to arrive at a score. The best known is called the FICO score, based on a model developed by Fair Isaac and Company (hence the name) and used by Experian. Equifax's model is called BEACON, while TransUnion uses EMPIRICA. While each of the models considers a range of data available in your credit report, the primary factors are:
Each of these, and other items, are assigned a value and a weight. The results are added up and distilled into a single number. FICO scores range from 300 to 800, with higher being better. Typical home buyers likely find their scores falling between 600 and 800.
For a reasonable fee, you can quickly get your FICO score from all three reporting agencies, along with your credit report. Also available is some helpful information and tools that help you analyze what actions might have the greatest impact on your FICO score. Each of the credit services offers similar services on their web sites: www.equifax.com, www.experian.com, and www.transunion.com.
Armed with this information, you will be a more informed consumer and better positioned to obtain the most favorable mortgage available to you.
