Ed Moro Promoted To Vice President, Managing Director For Europe, Middle East And Africa
DUBLIN, IRELAND, APRIL 25, 2006 - SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), the world's largest supplier of flash data storage card products, today announced the relocation of its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) headquarters from Haarlem in The Netherlands to Dublin, Ireland. The move, which was announced today at a SanDisk press conference in Dublin, is effective immediately.
In conjunction with SanDisk's relocation to Dublin, Ed Moro, SanDisk's former managing director of EMEA, was promoted to vice president, managing director of EMEA. Moro, prior to his current role, previously headed SanDisk sales in North and South America. He has been with SanDisk for nine years. Moro will manage all day-to-day EMEA operations and will report to Greg Rhine, senior vice president, worldwide sales.
SanDisk's new facility, located among other technology businesses, will initially house 30 SanDisk employees but can be enlarged to accommodate the company's growing business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The office oversees sales, marketing, operations and finance. SanDisk currently is recruiting multi-lingual sales, marketing and finance personnel to work at its new Dublin headquarters, as it adds staff to support SanDisk's focus on Europe.
Tony Killeen TD, Minister for Labour Affairs at the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment, said, "This announcement is the result of SanDisk's continuing success in EMEA and the relative ease with which Sandisk recruited the high quality and skilled staff it required. The investment is an ideal fit with IDA Ireland's strategy to work with existing overseas companies here to attract further higher value activities to their Irish operations."
He added that "the agency is very pleased with the outcome and will continue to work with SanDisk to encourage the corporation to commit to locating further strategic functions at its Irish facility. I congratulate all those responsible for achieving the success we are celebrating today."
Moro said, "I am very pleased with our move, because it will allow all of our growing family of EMEA employees to be housed under one roof with room for growth. SanDisk has been operating in the EMEA regions for several years, and our sales have significantly increased every year. SanDisk is focused on establishing an international brand and driving demand for flash memory products across Europe, the Middle East and Africa."
SanDisk is the original inventor of flash storage cards and is the world's largest supplier of flash data storage card products, using its patented, high-density flash memory and controller technology. SanDisk is headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA and has operations worldwide, with more than half its sales outside the U.S.

I've just ventured into my family history cupboard where all my research on my own families live - not just the Wing ones! I thought it was pretty tidy, but there's an awfully large pile of unsorted unfiled bits and bobs, surname extracts from various parish records, certificates that haven't been entered into my computerised records, and a general mess. I can feel all those ancestors frowning down on me, so it's time to give them a bit of attention this weekend. Anyone else out there feeling the same?

I read this week's Wall Street Journal article "Fleeting Youth, Fading Creativity" (WSJ, Feb 20, 1010, p. W3) with fascination…
The article, by Jonah Lehrer, suggests the following:
- Scientific & technical revolutions are often led by younger minds (think Newton, Watson, Einstein, Madame Curie, Jobs, Andreessen)
- Certain fields lend themselves to innovation by younger minds, including Physics, Math & Poetry, Chess
- There seems to be an inverted U-curve that describes human capacity for creative thought, with the top of the u-curve coming somewhere between the ages of 25 and 50.
- The disciplines of Biology, History, Novel-writing, and Philosophy might not peak until their late 40′s
- Many individuals have increased their creativity later in life by switching fields of study (thus potentially applying learnings from one field to another in a "intersectional" manner (see my prior blog post on this called "Intersectional Creativity& Mash-ups")
One key part of this argument I do buy is this: when we are young, we are likely to take more risks and we are likely to be less encumbered by rules bestowed upon us by marriage, work, community, church, etc. In other words the YOUNGER MIND, in general, does have the advantage of being FREE to make key connections that the older mind has to work harder to achieve amidst a cadre of society-driven rules which have been enforced for a longer period of time.
While I don't disagree with the premise that certain professions require young/fresh minds to attack them, the author neglected to mention the wide variety of creative careers that have taken off for LATE BLOOMERS in many fields.
Old Farts Have Been Creative Too!
The NY Times article highlights "Five sicentists who made their marks while they were young", including: Archimedes (in his 20s when sitting in the bathtub), Marie Curie (just turned 30 when investigating radioactivity), Galileo Galilei (speed of objects falling in late 20′s), William Lawrence Bragg (x-rays and crystal structure; Nobel laureate at age 25), and J. Robert Oppenheimer (Manhattan Project lead, first discoveries at 23 years old).
Indeed, these great discoveries (involving major sciences) were made by youngsters who could view the world in an alternative way and remove themselves from the scientific "rule-sets" of their days. (Archimedes was quite fortunate to thrive in an ancient society of Greece that rewarded created thinking)
But there is a variety of evidence that older humans have the capacity for creativity & innovation – well into their "retirement" years.
Here are a few I immediately dug up:
1) Ben Franklin - perhaps one of the greatest of all American Inventors – invented the Lightening Rod at age 44 and discovered electricity at 46, drafted the Declaration of Independence at age 70, invented bifocals in late 70′s.
2) Henry Ford - founded Ford Motors in late 30s and geared up production lines in his late 40′s.
3) Sam Walton – launched the first Walmart, in , at age 44.
4) Ray Kroc – was 52 when he incorporated the innovative new approach later called "McDonalds".
5) Ray Kurzweil - author of more than 10 books on topic of scientific thought and futuristic thinking, has come up with some of his most impressive new ideas long after the age of 50 (he was born in 1948 and is 62 this year). His book The Singularity Is Near was published when he was 55)
6) Alfred Hitchcock - his best and most creative films were done after the age of 50.
7) Guru Singh – one of my friends and mentors, Guru Singh, who is now over 60 is one of the most creative authors, teachers and global social conscience innovators that I know. Check out his blog !
Can you think of other examples?
Conceptual vs Experimental Innovators
A great article from Wired Magazine, written in July 2006, reminds us that Genius can come at many ages. Researcher David Galenson (Harvard) underscores the difference between creative activity can be found in two forms: "Conceptual" innovators and "Experimental Innovators". The Conceptual Innovators tend to come up with their ideas at an early age, in big dramatic leaps into new vectors – the Experimental Innovators seem to have a slower path to the great "aha" moment, trying many variations over time (think: Thomas Edison).
I like to think about Bill Gates – he appears to be a Conceptual Innovator in his youth in the area of software, but in later life (post 50 now), he is starting to innovate in new areas Oddly enough, a number of employees attracted to Microsoft, including Jeff Raikes, Nathan Myrvold, Paul Allen – all seem to be blooming in new creative ways – I suppose they are "experimental" innovators now.
In my role at UC Berkeley, I try to surround myself with the ideas, theory, practice and real world examples of great minds, creativity and innovation…and it seems to come in many forms and many ages. It all gives me comfort in knowing that at age 49, I still have plenty of time to make my major creative contribution to society.

Just like the width, to measure for a recess drop we would always ask you to measure in three places across the internal window opening, and to provide us with the smallest measurement. A small deduction will be taken to ensure the blind can operate correctly.
If your blind does not sit within a recess or you simply want us to make a blind to your sizes with no deductions, measure the overall drop you require from top to bottom, including the blind headrail and any overlap to ensure you get full coverage. We would recommend around a minimum overlap of 10cm top and bottom, but the choice is yours. For replacement vertical blind slats only, please ensure you only measure the fabric 'drops' excluding the headrail, from the top of the fabric to the bottom
Still unsure – Please feel free to call our expert customer services team.
30 July 2019 - 01 August 2019
Basix is a beautiful fabric that will match most interior designs.
Our stylish Basix Steel vertical blind slats in trendy steel grey colour will undoubtedly add a touch of elegance to your home.
If you have an existing slat, measure from one end of the fabric to the other. This is known as the hem to hem drop or shoulder to shoulder in the trade. Alternatively if you don't have an existing slat, measure from the bottom of the headrail hook to where you want the fabric to finish.
For more information for your product, please click below
Expertly made to measure in our factories we aim to get your new blind, or curtain, to you safely and quickly.
Why not take advantage of the fact that you can get up to ten sample items at a time !
Unfortunately your sample was not added to your basket. You can only add one sample per product and upto a maximum of 10 samples.

Dr. Walker completed a series of large NIH-funded behavioral intervention studies, for which she was the principal investigator, in minority diabetes populations, using telephonic interventions in Spanish and English to promote medication adherence, lifestyle change, screening for complications, and other diabetes self-management behaviors. She has also completed several National Eye Institute funded studies to promote ophthalmic examinations to screen for retinopathy in minority diabetes participants. She is a behavioral scientist and co-investigator for the multi-center Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study, and she co-chairs its Medication Adherence Workgroup. Through the CDTR, she provides or facilitates various intervention and evaluation services to multiple health disparities grants in the New York City community.

This was the first time, in a long time, I was really nervous to ask someone for their photo.
I have always loved Francesco Clemente's work and his personal style (notice the frayed sleeve of his well-worn linen jacket). For me, he is a real icon of the New York art scene.
Here is a link to a great interview he did with Charlie Rose. I love what he says about "boredom" and "waiting" playing a huge role in the creation of art. As a street photographer I understand exactly what he's talking about.

Why Buy A Performance Exhaust?
Performance exhausts are designed to increase power and noise adding to the overall experience of your vehicle. This is achieved through easier "flow" of exhaust gasses and pressures exiting the engine. As a result of easier exhaust flow, the engine of your vehicle has the capacity for increased pressure resulting in an increase of power. Exhaust gases leaving your engine, provide much more capacity to produce power. To gain the most power from your engine, the best option is to complete a full exhaust upgrade (engine back or turbo back).
What Size Catback Should I Buy?
One of the most common questions we get. What size catback exhaust should I get. If you're after the loudest sound then a 3"catback exhaust sytem is the best option. Not only will you benefit with the best sound, if you plan to work on your engine you will gain further performance gains compared to a 2.5".
The benefits of a 2.5" system is that they're more suited for the street and casual cruising. Not too quite and not too loud.
What Size Headers Should I Buy?
Bigger, isn't always better in this case.
1 3/4" headers are suited for highly worked on engines and provide high flow. You will also see high performance gains and a slightly better and louder note. With both 1 ¾" and 1 7/8" headers you should hear more cracks and pops.
With 1 7/8" headers these are more suited to motors utilising force induction, for example a supercharger. There shouldn't be much difference with sound and performance compared to 1 ¾" it mostly depends on the engines upgrades.
What Material Exhaust Should I Buy?
This is all depends on how long you're going to keep the car. If you plan on keeping your car for five years, then Stainless Steel is the best option in comparison to other materials.
Warranty periods on Stainless Steel exhaust last for five years, were as other materials warranties are two years.

In their continuing war against women's reproductive rights, HHS Secretary Leavitt has proposed a new federal regulation which would allow healthcare providers to refuse to provide any service they deem would violate their personal values.
Now let's be clear: this is not about abortion. There already exist in many other statutes -- federal and state -- ample protections for OB/GYNs who do not wish to perform terminations. That's not at issue here, the Secretary's claims to the contrary notwithstanding. This is entirely intended to reinforce the Christian right's effort to redefine contraception as abortion, specifically post coital contraception, also known as "Plan B" or the "morning after pill." Under this rule, which applies essentially to all hospitals nationwide (as recipients of CMS funds), the ER doctor could deny rape victims access to emergency contraception, and in fact could even withhold the information that Plan B is an option to a woman who is unaware it exists! This rule would also allow hospitals to declare it their policy that Plan B will not be prescribed from their facility, and HHS would accept this as an "institutional health care provider's" conscientious objection.
While in many settings this would not impact women's access to this service, in areas where there are no alternative facilities to refer patients to, or in conservative regions where all the facilities might adopt this conscience clause, then this rule may allow a de facto abolition of a woman's right to choose post-coital contraception.
The Department will be accepting comments for the next two days on their web site. Take a moment to express your objections.
Some general principles I would endorse:
- The welfare of the patient must be at the center of medical decision-making and treatment.
- The religious/moral beliefs of a caregiver or religious doctrine of a health care institution cannot be allowed to obstruct a patient's access to care.
- Patients must be able to make treatment decisions based on accurate medical information and their own ethical or religious beliefs. No information may be withheld.
- Health care institutions must provide emergency care immediately, without exception.
- For non-emergency care, referrals must be made if treatment is refused.
- The ability of non-objecting health practitioners to serve their patients must be safeguarded. No physician "gag rules" should be allowed.
To put it more simply, while I may have my opinions (and I certainly do), patients come first.

RALEIGH, N.C. - The New York Islanders clinched an Eastern Conference playoff spot despite a 4-3 shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.
With the point they received by reaching overtime, coupled with a loss by the Winnipeg Jets at Washington, the Islanders secured a place in the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
John Tavares tied it with 1:01 left in regulation. Josh Bailey and Brad Boyes also scored, and Evgeni Nabokov made 29 saves for the Islanders.
Riley Nash and Jeff Skinner scored in the shootout to give the Hurricanes the victory.
Carolina's Jordan Staal had a goal and an assist, Patrick Dwyer and Alexander Semin added goals, and Dan Ellis made 36 saves before stopping Frans Nielsen and Boyes in the shootout.
The Islanders earned a point for the 11th straight game (8-0-3).
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Capitals clinched the Southeast Division title, completing a stark turnaround in a lockout-shortened season with a win over Winnipeg.
The Capitals blew a two-goal lead, survived a pair of replay reviews and exhaled deeply when defencemen John Erskine cleared two shots off the goal line. They also had to kill a late power play, but they held to win for the 10th time in 11 games.
Alex Ovechkin scored his NHL-leading 31st goal — an empty-netter in the final minute — and Matt Hendricks, Jason Chimera, Nicklas Backstrom and Mathieu Perreault also scored. Braden Holtby made 24 saves.
Evander Kane, Blake Wheeler and Nik Antropov scored for the Jets, who had won six of seven but were playing the second half of a road back-to-back after beating Buffalo on Monday.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Chris Stewart reached career milestones of 100 goals and 100 assists and St. Louis clinched a playoff berth with two games to spare, beating Colorado.
Brian Elliott made 17 saves two nights after getting yanked in a 5-3 loss at Colorado that squandered the Blues' first chance at clinching. St. Louis, which entered the game needing a point to qualify, scored two power-play goals for the first time in 32 games since Feb. 15 in the home-and-home rematch.
Patrik Berglund and Andy McDonald beat Semyon Varlamov on consecutive shots in the second period to make it 3-0. Together, that duo had two assists in 14 games.
The Blues have made the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2003-04. They have won four in a row at home to match their season best.
Cody McLeod scored his eighth of the season and fifth in five games for the Avalanche, who are an NHL-worst 3-16-4 on the road. Varlamov made 31 saves.
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski scored goals 30 seconds apart late in the third period to help San Jose clinch its ninth straight playoff berth with a come-from-behind victory over Dallas.
Raffi Torres also scored for the Sharks, who moved into a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with Los Angeles with two games remaining in the race for home-ice advantage in the first round. The Sharks visit the Kings in the season finale on Saturday.
Antoine Roussel and Loui Eriksson scored for the Stars, whose playoff hopes were dealt a serious blow. Dallas remains two points behind ninth-place Detroit and three behind eighth-place Columbus in the race for the final playoff spot. The Red Wings have a game in hand over both teams. The Stars end the season with home games against Columbus and Detroit.
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Marcel Goc and Drew Shore scored third-period goals, and Florida prevented the New York Rangers from clinching an Eastern Conference playoff berth.
Goc broke a tie, and Drew Shore added a short-handed, empty-net goal to give Florida a 3-1 lead before the Rangers got back within a goal.
Tomas Fleischmann netted the first goal and added an assist, and Jacob Markstrom stopped 36 shots for the Panthers, who have the fewest points in the NHL and snapped a six-game losing streak.
Derick Brassard and Taylor Pyatt scored for the Rangers (24-18-4) and Henrik Lundqvist made 13 saves. The Rangers, who had won three straight, have a one-point lead over Winnipeg with two games left.
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Patrik Elias scored his 375th NHL goal, Martin Brodeur made 19 saves for his 669th victory and New Jersey beat Montreal.
New Jersey, which was eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday, dealt a blow to Montreal's hopes of winning the Northeast Division. The Devils (18-18-10) won for the third time in four games following a 10-game losing streak.
The sputtering Canadiens (27-14-5) lost for the fifth time in six games. They trail Boston by two points in the Northeast with only two games remaining.
Elias gave the Devils a 1-0 lead in the first period, Jacob Josefson netted his first of the season in the opening frame, and Steve Sullivan made it 3-0 in the second.
Max Pacioretty and Lars Eller both had second-period goals for Montreal.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Matt Read and Oliver Lauridsen scored goals 7 seconds apart to lead Philadelphia over Boston.
Scott Hartnell, Jakub Voracek and Simon Gagne also scored for the Flyers, who failed to make the playoffs this season.
Wade Redden and David Krejci had goals for the Bruins. The Bruins are second in the Eastern Conference and lead the Northeast Division. But the Bruins and Montreal both have 59 points.
The Flyers paid tribute to Boston in the Bruins' first road game since the Boston Marathon bombings.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Thomas Vanek scored twice, Ryan Miller stopped 40 shots and Buffalo topped Pittsburgh.
Steve Ott gave Buffalo the lead for good when he batted a rebound out of the air past goalie Marc-Andre Fleury with 2:34 left. Vanek added an empty-netter in the final minute.
Jochen Hecht also scored for the Sabres, who never trailed and snapped the Penguins' seven-game winning streak.
Chris Kunitz scored his 22nd goal for Pittsburgh and Jarome Iginla scored in his fourth straight game, but it wasn't enough. Fleury made 29 saves.
Pittsburgh centre Evgeni Malkin assisted on Iginla's goal to pick up a point in his return after missing four games with a shoulder injury.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Charlie Coyle and Cal Clutterbuck scored 16 seconds apart late in the first period, helping Minnesota break its five-game home losing streak and hang on for a win over Los Angeles.
Jeff Carter's slap shot whizzed past Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom with 0.8 seconds left in the second period, pulling the Kings within one.
Slava Voynov's shot from the far edge of the right circle was stopped by a sprawling Backstrom with 11 seconds remaining in the game to preserve the lead.
With a 3-7-1 record in the last 11 games since this month began and that playoff spot still unsecured, the Wild badly needed a victory.
The Kings failed to earn a point for only the third time in 15 games. They fell to 4-1-1 in their last six games. Jonathan Bernier, in the net for the first time in seven games in relief of Jonathan Quick, made 23 saves.
Backstrom stopped 22 shots.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Austin Watson and Matt Halischuk scored 1:23 apart in the third period to lead Nashville over Calgary.
David Legwand and Nick Spaling had the other goals for Nashville, which ended the franchise's longest losing streak at eight games. Shea Weber added two assists.
Roman Cervenka scored two goals, and T.J. Brodie had the other goal for Calgary, which had a three-game winning streak snapped.

The St. Albans Psalter: An Anglo-Norman Song of Faith
P. Lang, Jan 1, 2002 - Antiques & Collectibles - 683 pages
The St. Albans Psalter (c. 1125-1135), is generally regarded as the earliest surviving masterpiece of Anglo-Norman painting. Its extensive picture cycle includes over 200 historiated initials accompanying the psalms and prayers. This book focuses on these initials, examining their relationship to the text, the sources upon which they draw, the design process, the messages encoded into them, and the ways they would have been read by a contemporary audience. Addressing these issues sheds new light on the development of Anglo-Norman art, the role of major Benedictine foundations in this process, and the ways these houses reached out not only to those within their communities, but also to the laity in a time of relative insecurity.

Hand cream is a must for me, you can find 6 different ones on my desk right now in addition to a few more hidden in my drawers. That doesn't even include the ones I have at home stored in my product stash… and believe me, there are quite a few in there.
My newest hand cream acquisition is Lollia's Handcreme in Relax, a delicious blend of lavender, honey and shea butter. I held out on picking this product up simply because $24 is a lot of money to spend on a hand cream but then I realized I spent a lot more on lip balm so that made it acceptable to my wallet. 😉 I'm glad I did it though, this has got to be my favorite hand cream ever. This one is staying with me at all times!
The love affair with Relax starts with the packaging. It is inspired by French vintage prints and is gorgeous, even Lollia's website is gorgeous… I could stare at it all day. Then comes the cream itself. It is lightweight but packs a punch in the moisture department, quite a big punch actually. Just a little dab of this is enough to soothe my dry hands and keep them hydrated for hours. The product doesn't leave a greasy residue on your hands and it sinks in quickly.
Finally, the scent. Relax is a blend of lavender, honey, vanilla, orchid and amber. It smells amazing but sometimes I smell it and think "what perfume did I put on today", so yes, it is well scented… well enough that I do not smell the perfume I put on in the morning so those gals with sensitive noses may want to pass on this. However, if a well scented hand cream does not bother you… give this a try! If the price tag is a little hard to swallow (frankly all of their products are expensive and a bit of a splurge), check out the minis for $8 sold at Anthropologie.
What hand cream is your favorite? Let us know in the comments.

- NO nonsense decorators caulk from screwfix
AVOID this shit - it goes on ok but WILL crack when painted. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME with this.
Its cheap stuff that should only be used as a BASE filler for large holes or for sealing between floorboards and skirting boards where the carpet will hide it.
Here: http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-d ... 80ml/43686
- Everflex contract 125 one hour caulk from toolstation
Good stuff. Goes on easily, dries quickly (too fast sometimes).
Paint-over with ease with NO cracks.
The only issue is the edges are difficult to feather as it is a little thick; but use some-force when applying to get smoother edges.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Rebecca D.
Thursday, May 26, 2011
By: Rebecca D.
Healthcare Professional & Survivor
I am an occupational therapist (OT) who specialized in stroke rehab and continued my education by having a stroke in 2004. A small army of therapists, friends and family made it possible for me to live alone in my own home. Problem solving never ends because I walk with a leg brace and cane, have impaired balance, regained only partial use of my hemiplegic hand, and have slurred speech and trouble finding words when I'm tired or stressed.
Being a stroke survivor, an OT and a caregiver has given me a mission to share what seeing all three perspectives has taught me. Four months ago I joined a small community of stroke survivors who blog. I enjoy reading about how other stroke survivors deal with daily challenges. Reading and responding to comments on my blog at homeafterstroke.blogspot.com makes it easier for me to deal with problems I didn't learn about as an OT.
Display of the Faces of Stroke stories does not imply National Stroke Association's endorsement of any product, treatment, service or entity. National Stroke Association strongly recommends that people ask a healthcare professional about diagnosis and treatment questions before using any product, treatment or service.

You can use an Office Data Connection (.odc) file to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server database from a Microsoft Excel file. SQL Server is a full-featured, relational database program that is designed for enterprise-wide data solutions that require optimum performance, availability, scalability, and security.
On the Data tab, in the Get External Data group, click From Other Sources, and then click From SQL Server.
This starts the Data Connection Wizard. This wizard has three pages.
Page 1: Connect to Database Server
In the Server name box, type the name of the SQL Server computer that you want to connect to.
Under Log on credentials, do one of the following:
To use your current Microsoft Windows user name and password, click Use Windows Authentication.
To enter a database user name and password, click Use the following User Name and Password, and then type your user name and password in the corresponding User Name and Password boxes.
Security Note:
Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Passwords should be 8 or more characters in length. A pass phrase that uses 14 or more characters is better.
It is critical that you remember your password. If you forget your password, Microsoft cannot retrieve it. Store the passwords that you write down in a secure place away from the information that they help protect.
Page 2: Select Database and Table
Under Select the database that contains the data you want, select a database. Under Connect to a specific table, select a specific table or view.
Alternatively, you can clear the Connect to a specific table check box so that other users who use this connection file will be prompted for the list of tables and views.
Page 3: Save Data Connection File and Finish
Optionally, in the File Name box, revise the suggested file name. Click Browse to change the default file location (My Data Sources).
Optionally, type a description of the file, a friendly name, and common search words in the Description, Friendly Name, and Search Keywords boxes.
To ensure that the connection file is always used when the data is updated, click the Always attempt to use this file to refresh this data check box. This option ensures that updates to the connection file will always be used by all workbooks that use that connection file.
To specify how the external data source of a PivotTable report is accessed if the workbook is published to a Microsoft SharePoint Services site and is opened in a Web browser, click Authentication Settings, and then select one of the following options to log on to the data source:
Windows Authentication Select this option to use the Windows user name and password of the current user. This is the most secure method, but it can affect performance when many users are connected to the server.
SSS Select this option to use Secure Storage Service (SSS), and then enter the appropriate identification string in the SSS ID box. A site administrator can configure a SharePoint Services site to use a Secure Storage Service database in which a user name and password can be stored. This method can be the most efficient when many users are connected to the server.
None Select this option to save the user name and password in the connection file.
Security Note: Avoid saving logon information when connecting to data sources. This information may be stored as plain text, and a malicious user could access the information to compromise the security of the data source.
Note: The authentication setting is used only when you publish a workbook to a SharePoint site, and not by the Excel desktop program.
Click OK, and then click Finish to close the Data Connection Wizard.
The Import Data dialog box appears.
Under Select how you want to view this data in your workbook, do one of the following:
To create an Excel table, click Table (this is the default).
To create a PivotTable report, click PivotTable Report.
To create a PivotChart and PivotTable report, click PivotChart and PivotTable Report.
Note: The Only Create Connection option is available only for an OLAP database.
Under Where do you want to put the data?, do one of the following:
To place the data in an existing worksheet, select Existing worksheet, and then type the name of the first cell in the range of cells where you want to locate the data.
Alternatively, click Collapse Dialog to temporarily collapse the dialog box, select the beginning cell on the worksheet, and then click Expand Dialog .
To place the data in a new worksheet starting at cell A1, click New worksheet.
Optionally, you can change the connection properties (and also change the connection file) by clicking Properties, making your changes in the Connection Properties dialog box, and then clicking OK.
For more information, see Connection properties.

It was just over a week before the leads of HBO's gay-centered new series "Looking" would ultimately be seen — and examined closely — and the trio of friends (or "dream team," as they dub themselves) were too occupied to be overwhelmed by the burden, thumbing through humorous cellphone videos of one another taken from the set.
"I hope my phone is never stolen because these are so humiliating," said Jonathan Groff, an impish grin tugging at his face as he shared a video of regrettable singing moments by costars Frankie J. Alvarez and Murray Bartlett. (Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" among them.)
"Looking": An article in the Jan. 26 Calendar section about the HBO series "Looking" misidentified Nick Hall as the network's director of comedy. Hall's title is vice president of original programming for HBO.
The carefree scene unfolded on a recent afternoon at the Palomar Hotel in Westwood; all the while a mass of billboards of the wistful-looking threesome heavily dots the surrounding neighborhoods, promising viewers will "find something real." It's a profusion that prompted Bartlett to inquire, as a spread of quinoa salads arrived, "Do you think people know there's a show called 'Looking'?"
WINTER TV PREVIEW: Full coverage of the season's shows
"Looking," which premiered Jan. 19, centers on three out-and-proud gay friends navigating adulthood in progressive San Francisco. It comes from writer Michael Lannan and is being helmed by writer-director Andrew Haigh, who directed the 2011 gay indie-romance film "Weekend."
"Looking" lands at an interesting moment in the gay narrative: last year, marriage equality gained steam in the U.S. just as Russia instituted anti-gay laws. At a time when television may be less stingy with its offering of gay characters (3.3% of series regulars on scripted prime-time broadcast television were LGBT, according to a GLAAD study), few series have zoomed in on the nuances of contemporary gay relationships. "Looking" appears to be a descendant of groundbreaking forefathers such as "Tales of the City," "Queer as Folk" (the U.K. and American versions) and "The L Word."
"Our show is less about people just finding themselves," said Lannan, 36, in a separate interview with Haigh in their Hollywood office. "It's not about coming out and accepting your sexuality and being a twentysomething. We wanted a stage of life that was a little more formed. People in their 30s now who are gay grew up with a different set of expectations. Whereas, when Andrew and I were teenagers, it was such a different world."
Haigh added: "Even just the idea of being completely open — it was something I couldn't even think about when I was like 18. Gay marriage wasn't even something within grasp."
BEST TV OF 2013 Lloyd | McNamara
The series, which opened to modest ratings, has already set off predictable comparisons to "Sex and the City" and that recent cultural touchstone (and its lead-in), "Girls" — similarities the guys are willing to accept and challenge.
"It's just the way the industry works," Alvarez said. "Hopefully, the work will speak for itself and it won't be called the gay 'Girls,' it will just be 'Looking' because we're presenting something supplementary, not the same."
It's already serving as quite the spotlight for the actors: It's the first headlining TV role for Groff, who is mostly known for his theater work. Alvarez, the straight man of the trio, also comes from the theater world and appeared in episodes of NBC's short-lived "Smash." Bartlett is probably best known for his run on CBS' former daytime soap "Guiding Light."
The series introduces viewers to Patrick (Groff), a 29-year-old genial but dorky video game designer with sexual inhibitions; Agustin (Alvarez) is his slightly older roommate and an aspiring artist who finds himself in an artistic and romantic rut; and Dom (Bartlett) is their approaching-40 waiter friend undergoing a midlife crisis.
It might not be a show "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson will add to his DVR list but realistically is being scrutinized by the gay community. Detractors found its pilot boring and cliche-ridden, while others saw promise and honest realism.
PHOTOS: Winter TV Preview 2014
Jesse Oxfeld, who serves as a theater reviewer for the New York Observer, told gay and lesbian professional network dot429.com, "if the writing holds up 'Looking' will be a fun series to watch, regardless of its success in nailing its sociocultural point." Slate's J. Bryan Lowder was less flattering: "What can be the appeal in watching a show that amounts to a lightly dramatized version of a press release originally meant for straights?
Groff recognized the pressure the eight-episode first season carries and is just as dogmatic in the belief that it can't and won't please everyone.
"When you make a show like this, it's hard," he said. "We can't represent an entire demographic. It's a weird thing, because there are different expectations at play: 'Will it represent me as a gay person?' and 'Will it alienate me if I'm not gay?' It's a hard line to toe because you want it to be universal but you also want it to be specific to the gay experience. You don't want to water everything down."
Real connections
This modern tales of the city is rooted in Lannan's friendships. About eight years ago while living in New York, he started jotting down notes on friends he had during his time living in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. "It wasn't that conscious. It wasn't like, 'I'm going to take these stories and do something with it,'" said Lannan, who was an assistant to director Allen Coulter ("The Sopranos," "Sex and the City") at the time.
PHOTOS: Families that changed TV
His script reached Nick Hall, director of comedy for HBO, who met with Lannan about crafting it into a half-hour series based on the three central characters.
Michael Lombardo, HBO's president of programming, was attracted to the idea that there was no apology for being gay. "It wasn't gay as court jester," said Lombardo. "What Michael presents is strong, sometimes flawed individuals who are living their lives openly as gay men, without gay being the only defining aspect."
Those involved with the show credit Haigh, whose film "Weekend" centered on two men who meet at a gay bar and embark on a fleeting, emotionally charged romance, with bringing the naturalistic and raw qualities of his film to the series.
"I had seen 'Weekend' in New York when it was in movie theaters," Groff recalled. "I was with a friend who is straight, and we were both so damn moved by the end of that movie. Andrew had such a way of making the gay experience universal in that movie, and I felt like if he was going to lend his voice to ['Looking'], then it had the potential to do something great."
"There was something about it that felt very new and very relevant and very kind of present." Bartlett added. "It was very sort of now."
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of movies and TV
More than a decade after "Queer as Folk" presented unfiltered gay sex, the first few episodes of "Looking" picks up where that left off, albeit with more narrative pertinence. There's cruising in the park, a threesome and Grindr flubs. And while "Girls" has had no shortage of raw sex acts, which have generated countless think pieces — love portrayals and sex scenes among same-sex individuals still face a double standard, Lombardo acknowledged.
"We struggled with this," Lombardo said. "How much do you sanitize storytelling to make it more palatable? ... But Andrew and Michael don't put in sex scenes for shock value."
Amid joking about the technical aspects of filming such scenes, Groff pulled it back to center, noting a reaction one awkward non-sex scene in the third episode elicited from his brother and sister-in-law in Pennsylvania.
"I was watching them watching it, and I was like 'Whoa, they're connecting to men — gay men — and they're seeing themselves.'"
They were looking. And maybe understanding.

One of the best parts of attending the Beer Bloggers Conference is visiting a different part of the country and tasting beers that aren't available to you. Another glorious aspect is that the conference is awash in beer. It flows everywhere! Attendees bring their favorites to share and breweries bring cases upon cases to quench the thirst of bloggers. It gets better. At the end of every conference, you can expect a sight like this. Cases and cases of beer, free to a good home!

Checking baggage isn't cheap, but the cost is justified if you can bring home beer that you can't normally buy. I was able to cram eleven bottles and cans into my checked bag. Great care must be taken as beer is heavy and bottles shatter if not packed well. The last thing you want greeting you at the baggage carousel is a soggy suitcase full of wet clothes and glass shards. Another unspeakable horror is the loss of baggage.
Sadly, the stars didn't align in my favor on my flight home. When I arrived in Portland, my bag was nowhere to be found. In my nightmares, I imagined TSA agents and baggage handlers imbibing my fine east coast beer stash. Fortunately, 36 hours later, my misery ended when my bag was returned to me! To my surprise, all bottles and cans were intact! This miracle is undeniable proof that the Beer Gods exist!!
Anyway, here are the treasures that have been reunited with me in Portland. Most were given to me by breweries. Some were from my super awesome fellow beer bloggers, whose names and blogs are listed. Check 'em out. They're great people!
- Bonfire Rye, Sebago Brewing, Gorham, ME
- Famine, Backlash Beer Co., Holyoke, MA (Zack Rothman, Raising the Barstool)
- Florida Cracker, Cigar City Brewing, Tampa, FL (Gerard Walen, Beer in Florida)
- Green Head IPA, Newburyport Brewing Co., Newburyport, MA (Ryan Jansen, Two Beer Guys)
