Biographical Sketch
Berta Hoerner Hader was born in 1891 in San Pedro, Coahuila, Mexico where her parents had undertaken a cotton growing venture. In 1894, the venture failing, her family moved to Parras, Mexico and later to Amarillo, Texas. After her father died when she was five years old, they moved to New York where she received most of her education. She began art classes and won several school literary and artistic prizes. In 1909, she moved with her mother and brother to Seattle, Washington where she attended the Washington School of Journalism and apprenticed at Western Engraving Company until 1912. It was here she learned fashion design and illustration. In 1915 she moved to San Francisco and worked in fashion illustration. While studying in Carmel, she shared a house with Rose Wilder Lane, Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter, and was instrumental in getting Wilder's first "Little House" book published. Between 1915 and 1918 she attended the California School of Design.
It was in San Francisco that she met her future husband, Elmer Hader. Elmer Stanley Hader was born in 1889 in Pajaro, California but spent most of his youth in San Francisco. During the great earthquake and fire of 1906 he worked for the city in the National Guard. He attended the California School of Design in San Francisco from 1907-1910. In 1912 Hader attended the Julian Academy in Paris, France, paying his way through school working as a vaudevillian for two years. After serving in France during World War I, Hader moved to New York where he and Berta were married on July 14, 1919.
The Haders began to illustrate feature pages for children in several leading magazines, including Good Housekeeping, McCall's, Pictorial Review, Century, and The Christian Science Monitor. This was the beginning of many years of collaboration. In 1927 and 1928 they illustrated and wrote seven small picture books called the "Happy Hours" books. Their first full- length book, The Picture Book of Travel, was published in 1928. In 1944, The Little Stone House, which detailed the building of their house in Nyack, New York, overlooking the Hudson River, was published. This home was the setting of the "Willow Hill" series of books, which depicted their love of animals and nature. In 1949 they won the Caldecott Medal for The Big Snow (1948) describing a great blizzard of January 1948.
The Haders continued writing and illustrating at their home until the mid- 1960s. As well as completing their own books, they also illustrated other's books. Either would suggest a plot and they both would plan it. One would start an illustration and the other would finish it. Pacifists and conservationists long before it was the fashion, their love of nature and animals is apparent in their work. They received the Caldecott Honor Book Award for Cock-a-doodle-doo in 1940 and for The Mighty Hunter in 1944, as well as for The Big Snow. Elmer Hader died in 1973, and Berta Hader died in 1976.
The correspondence consists of letters to the de Grummond Collection (1966- 1971) and letters to Elmer Hader regarding publications (1932 and undated). The biographical material includes undated photographs and a publisher's pamphlet. There are also several Christmas cards and a drawing titled "Welcome to New York."

For Little Town (1940) there are two sketches and proofs; and for Picture Book of Mother Goose (1930), the Haders' rendition of the classic rhymes, there are press sheets, proofs, and unbound copies.

As the country debates education issues such as testing and universal Pre-K, renowned educators and other human development experts will convene to give Dallas-area parents an overview of the Montessori Method, a scientifically-based, time-tested educational approach that values children as unique individuals who are naturally eager to learn, and is fast growing momentum as an alternative to traditional education. The American Montessori Society's Parents Montessori Mini-Conference will take place Saturday, March 29, at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. It will include workshops and a hands-on exhibit, as well as a keynote address on nurturing from Andrew Solomon, PhD, author of the New York Times bestseller Far From the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity.
Nurturing is central to Montessori education, with adults providing the support and guidance that enable children of all learning styles and abilities to develop to their full potential as independent, compassionate, and competent world citizens.
Drawing from his book Far From the Tree, for which he interviewed more than 300 parents of children with extreme challenges, such as autism, deafness, schizophrenia, and dwarfism, Dr. Solomon will explain how he learned that acceptance and tolerance can prevail, and that by embracing the differences between us, we expand our definition of what it is to be human.
The conference will also include a "Please Touch!" exhibit of Montessori Math materials, which parents will have an opportunity to handle and explore—just as children do in a Montessori classroom, under the watch of keenly observant teachers who understand when to step in and help, when to let their students figure it out for themselves, and when to offer challenges of deeper levels of complexity. Among the materials will be "golden" beads, geometric solids, and binomial and trinomial cubes, for teaching concepts such as the decimal system, spatial relations, and algebraic equations. Specially designed learning materials are a hallmark of Montessori education, helping students of all grade levels, preschool through high school, to build a strong foundation by working first on a concrete level, and then moving gracefully into abstract thinking.
Rounding out the day will be a choice of workshops on topics such as:
There will also be a Q&A with local educators, which will serve as an informal social gathering and conversation about Montessori as a solution to the policy pitfalls and issues facing today's schools and families, and any other relevant issues of interest or concern.
Registration ($45, available online through February 28) and schedule of events: www.amshq.org/2014Conference. Onsite registration will also be available.
Media passes: e-mail Cathy O'Brien.
The Parents Montessori Mini-Conference is held as part of the American Montessori Society's 2014 Annual Conference, a larger event that will host thousands of educators, from programs worldwide, March 27 – 30 at the Hilton Anatole.

I am a 26-year-old Chemical Engineer with an MSc in Finance, from Argentina. After a couple of months fighting for my dream-job here, I found it and will be starting on 15th August at Dong Energy =D.
I have to move from my place before September 1st, but I am willing to move in August before 15th to be settled up before starting my job.
I am looking for a private studio/apartment or for an apartment to be shared with a friend who is also coming in September to work, but otherwise a room in a shared apartment can be also acceptable. I do require CPR registration, and I am looking forward to living close to a metro/train station (preferably Frederiksberg, Frederiksberg C or Vesterbro), as I will have to commute daily to Gentofte.
Regarding myself, I am calm and easy-going, love cooking and having (calm and quiet) friends over to cook for them sometimes :) I do love sports and I workout often (currently at Fitness DK Falkoner, which I love:) ). I am also taking danish lessons, but for the moment I speak fluent English and Spanish, advanced Italian and can learn again my French =P. I am non-smoker and the place where I live is always clean and tidy, so I am looking for the same lifestyle :)
I really hope you can help me with my house-hunting, as I am very much looking forward to finding a place for long-term, where I can enjoy my time at home and relax.

Chef Kristina Bladecki
Corporate Chef
Kristina worked in the hospital foodservice industry prior to joining the Alto-Shaam culinary team. After discovering that her calling was culinary arts, she received her training through the culinary program at Waukesha County Technical College. In addition to her culinary degree, Kristina graduated with a bachelor's degree in business marketing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she was a student-athlete.
Kristina is a third-generation Alto-Shaam employee; her grandfather, Jerry Maahs, founded the company after inventing Halo Heat® technology. Kristina has inherited Jerry's commitment to quality food and service.
Kristina serves as corporate chef in the Culinary Institute. She is responsible for culinary training, applications, and support for our customers and partners. Kristina can also often be found making baked goods before seminars and demonstrations.
Kristina's favorite piece of Alto-Shaam equipment is the CT Express™ Combitherm® combi oven. She uses it to bake with her favorite ingredient – sugar. She recommends Alto-Shaam equipment to others in the industry because of its ability to reduce stress in the kitchen.
"People do business with people because they choose to, not because they have to," Kristina says. "We can always find others doing the same thing or selling the same product; it's the personal connection that makes the Alto-Shaam difference."
Chocolate Tips
When using chocolate in your dishes, it's important to properly melt the chocolate so that it is smooth and creamy and does not seize up.
When you need to melt chocolate and butter together for a batter, it's easy to do so in a Combitherm oven. Place the chocolate and butter in a covered bowl and steam at 212°F for 10 minutes.
The best way to temper chocolate is at 115°F in a Cook & Hold oven.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. San Francisco 49ers Pick-Odds-Prediction 10/27/13
San Francisco 49ers (5-2) at Jacksonville Jaguars (0-7)
NFL Football: Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 1:00 pm (Wembley Stadium)
The Line: Jacksonville Jaguars +17 -- Over/Under: 40.5 See the Latest Odds
TV: Fox
The San Francisco 49ers have been on a tear lately, and the Niners hope to continue that momentum on Sunday when the Niners face the Jags in London.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are about as bad of a professional football team I've seen in a while. You're welcome London. The Jags are 0-7 and are ranked towards the bottom of the league in almost every major offensive category. Jacksonville, to be fair, has had a brutal schedule so far, having to face the Broncos, the Colts, the Seahawks, the Chargers and now, the Niners…ouch. Jacksonville is averaging just 10.9 points per game on the season, easily ranking them last in the league. The Jags are also allowing 31.7 per outing, ranking them 32nd in the league as well. Jacksonville has been playing from behind all season long, so the running game hasn't really had a shot to be established, but even when Jacksonville does run the ball, the Jags are averaging just 2.9 yards per attempt. The passing game is a bit better, with an average of 5.9 yards per attempt, but considering the Niners secondary is ranked in the top ten in the NFL, it will be tough sledding for Henne. Defensively the Jags are facing a Niners team that wants to hit you in the mouth with their physical ground attack, and with the Jags allowing 4.6 yards per carry…the Niners should be able to do just that.
Don McPeak-USA TODAY Sports
The San Francisco 49ers started off the season a bit sluggish, but the Niners have rebounded nicely, winning four straight. The Niners are currently 5-2 on the season and trail the Seahawks by just one game in the NFC West. San Francisco's quarterback Colin Kaepernick has by many accounts taken a step back this season. Watching the Niners this season it's clear that Harbaugh wanted to limit the hits on Kaepernick, and until last weekend, the Niners basically put away the read option attack. San Francisco reopened that part of the playbook against the Titans last weekend, and Kaepernick took advantage, rushing in from 20 yards out, giving him his first rushing touchdown of the season. Offensively the Niners are ranked 11th in the league, scoring an average of 25.1 points per game, and the Niners stout defense is also living up to its high preseason billing, allowing 19.3 per game. Like I said above, the Niners want to hit you in the mouth with their running game, and if the Jags don't show San Francisco early on that they can stop it, this will likely be a long game for the Jaguars on Sunday.
The total has gone over in 11 of the last 14 games for the Niners. The Jaguars are just 1-7 against the spread in their last eight games.
Tough call here, but I'm going to have to take the Jags. The Niners are great defensively, but one weakness I have seen with this team the past few seasons is in the secondary, especially against the deep ball. Jacksonville is definitely lacking offensively, but Henne will be under center and he does have a big arm. That, combined with the talents of Blackmon at wide receiver, could provide the Jags with a few big plays, keeping this interesting at least for awhile.
The Niners win, and win easy, but giving up this many points, in what equates to back to back road games for the Niners looks tough.

Live Review: Jessie Ware at the Rickshaw Stop, San Francisco
At the start of her packed show Thursday night in San Francisco, Jessie Ware's token platitudes for the city of San Francisco started out as just that—expected banter from a touring musician, repeated hundreds of times over. By the end of the show, though, after constant affection showered upon the breakout UK star from an adoring crowd, her city-crush on San Francisco rose to fever pitch. Then, when someone handed her a bouquet of roses, Ware completely lost it.
"Oh my Gooooooodddddd!!" she wailed, in thick British accent. "This really is our favorite city!"
Ware's full-length album Devotion still hasn't been officially been released in the United States, whatever that means in the year 2013; everyone at the Rickshaw Stop seemed to know nearly every song. Opening with the title track, Ware and her rock-solid band emitted a slow pulse, built it to a climax and, as Ware sang loudly away from the mic, pushed the song into transcendence. It was a formula that would be repeated throughout the night, but never felt, well, formulaic.
Vampire Weekend Live at Amoeba
I walked into Amoeba a full hour before Vampire Weekend's scheduled set on Friday night, only to see the first two aisles in front of the stage already filled with diehards waiting for their chance to watch, up close and personal, one of the suavest new bands of 2008.
The indie rock cognoscenti have been burbling about Vampire Weekend for months now, with descriptors like "Ivy-League Death Pop Woven With African Filament"—I mean, how can you resist?—and yet for Friday night's hugely high-school-aged audience (ponytails, braces, and zits in abundance), it was all about the here and now. The band's debut album, Vampire Weekend, just released, the 18+ show the night before at Popscene an unattainable dream, and twittering throng waiting anxiously between Amoeba's Gospel and Rockabilly sections.
The rest of the store filled fast, with unknowing customers humorously caught off-guard by the commotion, and then, the big moment: in casual Harvard fashion, the band ambled out onto the stage and started their set with the first song from their album, a catchy two-minute blast called "Mansard Roof," nailing all the high vocals, syncopated rhythms, and jaunty melodies.
After the second song, "Campus," singer / guitarist Ezra Koenig acknowledged San Francisco—"It's one of our very favorite cities, and we don't just say that everywhere," he commented, adding wryly, "Sometimes it's very obvious that it's not our favorite city."
Vampire Weekend's songs are what people call deceptively simple—both "Mansard Roof" and "Campus," for example, rely on just a basic major scale for a riff—but the band kneads enough bizarre influences into the dough that listening to them is like deciphering a Rosetta Stone of music, from Sting to Sister Carol to Schubert to a healthy dose of Paul Simon's Graceland. Live, the band rocks harder sans the string quartet on record, and, dispensing with collegiate reticence, Koenig passionately emphasized lines like "do you want to fuck?" from the South African-flavored "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa." In the aisles, the kids ate it up.
After "I Stand Corrected," "A-Punk," and "Oxford Comma," it was all over, truncating their already-short album (it's a refreshing 34 minutes long) into just a six-song set. For a tiny short while, the innocence of pop music and the excitement of a great new band with oodles of potential lay bare in front of a crowd of fervent admirers, and on a cold, drizzling night in San Francisco, well, it's hard to ask for more.

text: OSCEOLA -- Eric McDonald turns 6 today, but his birthday party won't have any of the "666" hoopla that comes with the date. On a day when Hell, Mich., is playing off its devilish name and filmmakers are releasing a remake of a classic horror flick "The Omen," Eric's family will celebrate the birthday of a "miracle baby" they see as a gift from God. The cherubic lad doesn't watch "Harry Potter" movies or don a ghoulish costume on Halloween, but he can belt out a Bible verse, something he learned at the Christian school where his mom teaches. "God has not given me a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind," the youngster sang Monday afternoon, after begging his mom, Lisa McDonald, to let him ride his bike while being interviewed. His story begins several years ago, when his mom had all but given up on becoming pregnant. Doctors had removed one of her ovaries as part of surgery to treat a medical condition, and they'd told her she had perhaps a 10 percent chance of conceiving a child. The resulting scar tissue adhered to her stomach muscles, she says, leaving her with sharp, stabbing pains. When she went in for surgery for it, McDonald says she learned to her surprise that she was pregnant and that further surgery would bring a risk of miscarriage. But young Eric survived it. Later, when doctors delivered him by emergency C-section after 18 hours of labor, they found the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. "He was a really good baby," his mom says. "He didn't have any problems after that. He was really healthy." Although his family is aware of the mania surrounding today's date -- 6-6-6 -- they are celebrating his "golden birthday," a tradition his mom picked up as a young student in Logansport. Because Eric was born on the sixth day of the month, Lisa McDonald says, his sixth birthday is his golden one.

Bean curd skin is also known as tofu skin, is a byproduct of soy milk. It is similar to Yuba ( 腐竹皮) but slightly thicker and rough texture. One thing I like about bean curd skin is its sweet flavor, it tastes soft of eggy to me. To use, just separate the sheets and cut them into thin strips like Chinese noodles.
The main criticism of bean curd skin is that it will not absorb much liquid sauce when cooked. So, to get the pasta sauce to stick to the bean curd skin, you can make the sauce thicker (simmer it for a while if it is thin) and toss the bean curd skin strips in the sauce.
Below is a comparison of Nutrition Facts labels of Spaghetti (top), Bean curd skin (bottom left) and Rotini (bottom right). You can see that 100g of bean curd skin provides 270kcal, about 25% fewer calories than spaghetti (363 Kcal, 1 KJ = 0.2388 Kcal) and Rotini (359 Kcal). Bean curd skin is also a great source of protein. It provides 25.8g of protein, at least double the amount of protein in Spaghetti (12g) and Rotini (13.5g).
1 package of bean curd skin (cut into strips)
1 bottle Prego Italian sauce traditional (14 oz)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 slides ginger (chopped)
1 onion (chopped)
1/2 red bell pepper (chopped)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup water
Few grinds of black pepper and a pinch of salt.
- Heat some vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook garlic and ginger in oil for 1 minute.
- Stir in onion and bell pepper, and cook until soft.
- Mix in Prego Italian sauce and water, and then cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add bean curd skin and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and cherry tomatoes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!

My husband just got off the phone with his brother. His brother also works for the same branch of the government. His brother was called into the big district boss's office today. He was told that my husband would keep his job...with a lot of pressure to perform better.
On one hand...thank God he still has a job. On the other? Classy, right? Tell my husband's brother before they tell my husband? Really? Uncle Sam knows how to set a good example. The professional in me is irate.
But...but, for now we still have a job. We still have a paycheck. We still have insurance. Thank God for that.
I knew when my husband decided to fight this, that the 'good outcome' could be no better than this. I knew that it was unlikely that he would prevail. This is a victory, per se, for my husband. I just failed to recognize how bittersweet it would be.

Wow! As far as I can tell, none of them are from the same photo shoot either.ReplyDelete
Funny how these are all different photos (as far as I can tell) but they seem so similar. You have a great eye.ReplyDelete
I love this feature. I've never commented on it before, but I just wanted you to know that I look forward to it!ReplyDelete
Also, isn't there a cover for The Handmaid's Tale with a women at a window? (I've found the cover, I'm not sure it fits with this grouping - but you can decide for yourself: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0771008740.01._SY190_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg )
I can't think of any others. I really like the Fire in the Blood one.ReplyDelete
Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alender, maybe?: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P-EdXgjsL._SS500_.jpgReplyDelete
Love this! (What's out that window? Get out there, girl!)ReplyDelete
Women of Brewster Place is one of my favorites! Interesting that these covers are all so similar. Miss K, you're right! Get out there!ReplyDelete

The Sultan RS, the Huntley Sport and the Sabre Turbo are three types available cars in "GTA IV." While the Sabre Turbo and the Huntley Sport have a chance to spawn in the game world, the Sultan RS is only available in hidden locations. The base game includes all three cars.
The Sultan RS is a highly modified two-door coupé that resembles the real life second generation Subaru Impreza. With a turbocharged 3.5-liter four-cylinder F4 DOHC engine, the car accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds and has a top speed of 93 mph. The car has a low ground clearance which improves its handling. In addition to its good performance on asphalt, the car is also good to drive on dirt and sand.
A luxury sports utility vehicle that mimics the design of the real life Range Rover Vogue, the Huntley Sport is a high performance vehicle with a 4.8-liter eight-cylinder engine. Coupled with the five speed gearbox, the engine delivers power to all four wheels. The Huntley Sport has a top speed of 210 mph. However, the car has average breaks and performs questionably in off-road conditions.
Inspired by the 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass and the 1969 Chevelle SS, the Sabre Turbo is a high performance muscle car. The car has a turbocharged nine-liter eight-cylinder engine that gives the vehicle a top speed of 153 mph. The Sabre Turbo has good handling and exceptional durability.

VIDEO: Canadians buy $300 cars and race them in an empty paddock
- Classic mod: 1900s car transformed into grand ship
- Lad antics: UK men trick mate into dressing up like a Smurf
When you combine a muddy paddock, a makeshift racetrack and $300 cars you get LeMelons 2017.
Like the Grand Prix of s--tbox bars, this Canadian rally is a revhead's dream.
In its fifth year running, the prestigious race started out with a bunch of mates getting together, hotting up crappy $300 cars and seeing how long they can race them before the die (the cars, that is).
[Via Authentic Entertainment]
LeMelons is not an official motorsport event, but it is has been broadcast via the magic of YouTube and drones.
YouTuber Casual Swede posted a compilation of footage from this year's LeMelons derby, which has already clocked up more than 60,000 views.
The idea is for racing teams to jazz up a cheap car and race against one another for three hours, "or until they catastrophically fail," according to Casual Swede.
The winner is decided by the judges, with the prize "not based on distance but based on a…complex algorithm ".
And in case you were wondering, the winning car was the Audi painted up like a shark.
Anyone else thinking of calling up their mate with a spare paddock to organise something for the next long weekend?

What is advocacy
Advocacy in heart failure seeks to ensure that people, particularly those who are most vulnerable, are able to:
- Have their voice heard on issues that are important to them.
- Defend their rights
- Have their views and wishes genuinely considered when decisions are being made about them.
Advocacy is a process of supporting and enabling people to:
- Create and express their views and concerns.
- Access information and services that are pertinent to them
- Be a voice around their rights.
- Explore choices and options
The Pumping Marvellous Foundation is an advocate for heart failure sufferers and their families. We provide heart failure advocacy support for heart failure patients and their families when they need it. We might help you access information you need or in a supportive role talk through options with you and your family. You may want us to advocate for you where we speak for you in situations where you don't feel able to speak for yourself.
Our advocates are our patient educators, they will spend time with you to understand your needs. Advocacy can be helpful if you find it difficult to make your views known.
Other forms of advocacy we get involved in include political, economic and institutional and these are described below.
Advocacy doesn't just work at a national level and proves to be a very effective persuasive tool not only at a regional level but also at a local like with CCG's, GP surgeries or acute trusts.
Fancy helping us or becoming a patient educator?
Sounds a bit underhand using the phrase "unofficial" but we would like everybody to be an advocate for their rights and needs. We are more than happy to push our name out there and to raise the awareness of heart failure and it's challenges.
So to be an official advocator for the Pumping Marvellous Foundation you need to enroll to be a patient educator. To find out how to become a patient educator and the benefits follow this link.

Andris Biedrins, C, Warriors: Clinched his spot here almost a year ago, when Golden State inexplicably used its amnesty clause on Charlie Bell's $4.1 million expiring contract and kept Biedrins' three years and $27 million. He wouldn't even be playing if Andrew Bogut were healthy, and his 0.5 points and 3.0 rebounds makes rookie Festus Ezeli look like Wilt Chamberlain. While somewhat entertaining, his adventurous free-throw shooting is not worth
$9 million.
Lamar Odom, F, LA Clippers: He appears to be fulfilling Bill Simmons' prediction that he will be out of the NBA by season's end, which will mean he went from Sixth Man Award winner to Sixteenth Man Award winner in less than two years. He is raking in a cool $8.2 million for his 1.5 points on 21 percent shooting. A ridiculous salary for a minimal contribution makes him a perfect addition to the Kardashian family.
Luke Walton, F, Cavaliers: He actually played 21 minutes in the first three games, which prevented him from an unofficial claim to the top spot on this squad. He has two points and two rebounds and has truly needed a postgame shower once since Nov. 3. Over the last three full seasons, he has averaged $73,395 per point ($15.78 million, 215 points). The best thing that can be said about his $6.1 million salary is that it expires in June.
Charlie Villanueva, F, Pistons: Maybe Lawrence Frank was just being nice, allowing him to play in New York, his hometown. Or maybe a leak in our corporate office that let Villanueva know our column idea. Before his 17 points in 19 minutes of virtual garbage time, he had three points on 1-of-10 shooting and 11 DNPs. He's only making $8.06 million this season – and $8.58 million next season.
Drew Gooden, F, Bucks: Ilyasova looks like a stat machine compared to his teammate, who is the Daniel Simpson Day of the NBA. Gooden has fallen off the cliff; after averaging 13.7 points last season – the second-highest mark of his career – his games active this season match his uniform number, which is a big, fat zero. Gooden is making $6.68 million this season. And next season. And the season after that. Amnesty, anyone?
TRIVIA: Who is the highest-paid active player yet to make an All-Star Game? Answer below.

I have created a table with 50+ columns and trying to insert records into that table and I am getting error code 6706 : The string contains an untranslatable character.
Is there any function I can find which column is causing this problem. or Do I have to go through each column to find where this error occuring ?
If I just run select statement from Insert statement it works fine.
Provide more details on the interface being used to do the insert e.g., TPT, JDBC, fastload, BTEQ, etc.
You will have go through each column to check which one has untranslatable character.
Look into columns defined as CHAR.
Go through knowledge article KAP1F83B6 which provides more details about this issue.
I am using JDBC interface.
You might try to create an error table for the target table and then do the INSERT/SELECT with LOGGING ALL ERRORS (I don't know if error 6706 is catched).
ETC_FieldID hopefully contains the ColumnId which can be matched to dbc.ColumnsV to get the column name.

What Fosamax is and what it is used for
What is Fosamax?
Fosamax is a tablet containing the active substance alendronic acid
(commonly called alendronate) and belongs to a group of non-hormonal
medicines called bisphosphonates. Fosamax prevents the loss of bone that
occurs in women after they have been through the menopause, and helps to
rebuild bone. It reduces the risk of spine and hip fractures.
What is Fosamax used for?
Your doctor has prescribed Fosamax to treat your osteoporosis. Fosamax
reduces the risk of spine and hip fractures.
Fosamax is a once weekly treatment.
What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a thinning and weakening of the bones. It is common in
women after the menopause. At the menopause, the ovaries stop producing
the female hormone, oestrogen, which helps to keep a woman's skeleton
healthy. As a result, bone loss occurs and bones become weaker. The
earlier a woman reaches the menopause, the greater the risk of
Early on, osteoporosis usually has no symptoms. If left untreated, however, it
can result in broken bones. Although these usually hurt, breaks in the bones
of the spine may go unnoticed until they cause height loss. Broken bones
can happen during normal, everyday activity, such as lifting, or from minor
injury that would not generally break normal bone. Broken bones usually
occur at the hip, spine, or wrist and can lead not only to pain but also to
considerable problems like stooped posture ('dowager's hump') and loss of
How can osteoporosis be treated?
As well as your treatment with Fosamax, your doctor may suggest you make
changes to your lifestyle to help your condition, such as:
Stopping smoking
Smoking appears to increase the rate at which you
lose bone and, therefore, may increase your risk of
broken bones.
Like muscles, bones need exercise to stay strong
and healthy. Consult your doctor before you begin
any exercise programme.
Eating a balanced diet Your doctor can advise you about your diet or
whether you should take any dietary supplements
(especially calcium and Vitamin D).
What you need to know before you take Fosamax
Do not take Fosamax
* if you are allergic to alendronic acid or any of the other ingredients of this
medicine (listed in section 6)
* if you have certain problems with your gullet (oesophagus - the tube that
connects your mouth with your stomach) such as narrowing or difficulty
* if you cannot stand or sit upright for at least 30 minutes
* if your doctor has told you that you have low blood calcium
If you think any of these apply to you, do not take the tablets. Talk to your
doctor first and follow the advice given.
* you are undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy,
* you are taking angiogenesis inhibitors (such as bevacizumab, or
* you are taking corticosteroids (such as prednisone or dexamethasone),
* you are or have been a smoker (as this may increase the risk of dental
You may be advised to have a dental check-up before starting treatment with
It is important to maintain good oral hygiene when being treated with
Fosamax. You should have routine dental check-ups throughout your
treatment and you should contact your doctor or dentist if you experience
any problems with your mouth or teeth such as loose teeth, pain or swelling.
Irritation, inflammation or ulceration of the gullet (oesophagus – the tube that
connects your mouth with your stomach) often with symptoms of chest pain,
heartburn, or difficulty or pain upon swallowing may occur, especially if
patients do not drink a full glass of water and/or if they lie down less than 30
minutes after taking Fosamax. These side effects may worsen if patients
continue to take Fosamax after developing these symptoms.
Children and adolescents
Fosamax should not be given to children and adolescents less than 18 years
of age.
Other medicines and Fosamax
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might
take any other medicines.
It is likely that calcium supplements, antacids, and some oral medicines will
interfere with the absorption of Fosamax if taken at the same time.
Therefore, it is important that you follow the advice given in section 3 How to
take Fosamax.
Certain medicines for rheumatism or long-term pain called NSAIDs (e.g.
acetylsalicylic acid or ibuprofen) might cause digestive
problems. Therefore, caution should be used when these medicines are
taken at the same time as Fosamax.
Fosamax with food and drink
It is likely that food and beverages (including mineral water) will make
Fosamax less effective if taken at the same time. Therefore, it is
important that you follow the advice given in section 3 How to take
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Fosamax is only intended for use in postmenopausal women. You should not
take Fosamax if you are or think you may be pregnant, or if you are
Driving and using machines
There have been side effects (including blurred vision, dizziness and severe
bone, muscle or joint pain) reported with Fosamax that may affect your
ability to drive or operate machinery. Individual responses to Fosamax may
vary. (See section 4.)

If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some
sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.

In Roman myths, Juno was the wife of Jupiter. And Juno is going to orbit Jupiter. Most of the planets (just not Earth), are named after the Roman gods. It only makes sense that Juno is named after a Roman god as well. Besides, it is a acronym, and it probably means something cool that I would not understand
Spacecraft JUNO is a NASA orbiter making its way to Jupiter to study the planet's gravity field, magnetic field and polar magnetosphere. The name itself comes from Greco-Roman mythology, and is the name a goddess, the wife of Jupiter. Juno could see through Jupiter's clouds and know Jupiter's true nature. She holds a magnifying glass as if she is searching for truth. Juno will be carrying a plaque to honor explorer Galileo, the man who observed the moon and the stars centuries ago. The name of Juno is fitting because it represents and carries through the idea of quest for truth and knowledge.
JUNO takes its name from Greco-Roman mythology. It specifically comes from the god Jupiter's wife, Juno. It is appropriate because it fits with the naming scheme of all the planets in the Solar System. It would be odd for the spacecraft to not take on a name not relating to Greco-Roman mythology.
The name Juno is a Latin baby name. In Latin the meaning of the name Juno is Young.Juno spacecraft is a NASA New Frontiers mission currently en route to the planet Jupiter. This is one of the most appropriate names that could be provided to spacecraft going to Jupiter. Hence I agree
I think it can be difficult to name these spacecraft when a new one is needed. But JUNO is a perfect name for this particular one. It references the wife of Jupiter, who is able to peer through the clouds to see Jupiter's true nature. This reflects the mission of the craft exactly.

Concrete is the most common building material in the world. But across the country, proposed concrete batch plants are meeting resistance from residents who don't want to live near them.
Concrete is the most common building material in the world. But across the country, proposed concrete batch plants are meeting resistance from residents who don't want to live near them.
In addition to the plant proposed off Airport Road in Smithfield, the same battle between concrete suppliers and citizens is being waged in Salem, Va.; Cranston, R.I.; and Oceanside, Calif.
Concrete batch plants were recently banned as part of an comprehensive plan to modernize the Fort White, Fla., zoning code.
"Cement plants have been a problem around us, but not in our immediate area," said Bill Eldridge, chairman of the Fort White Planning and Zoning Board.
Fort White is about 10 miles from a concrete batch plant that opened three years ago.
"Unless there is a rail connection, cement is moved by truck," Eldridge said. "There's a noticeable change on the highways. I'm talking the good country roads that are well-paved. The big cement trucks are always around and they're noisy. Small towns did not have that a few years ago."
Closer to home, neighbors of Rahns Construction Material in Coopersburg say life next to the concrete batch plant is not so bad.
Rahns is part of The H&K Group, the same people who want to build an HYK Construction concrete batch plant in Smithfield.
Tonya Rupell has lived a stone's throw from Rahns for 13 years.
"They've never been a problem. We never hear them during the night. I wouldn't say we are affected by dust at all," she said.
Several neighbors echoed her sentiments.
Rupell had just one neighborhood complaint.
"We get more noise from the bar down the street," Rupell said, especially when the bar operator dumps a load of glass bottles in the trash late at night.
People who object to the Smithfield concrete batch plant voice a number of concerns: traffic, noise, pollution and lower property values.
Maureen and Jim Kelly have lived in their Whispering Hills home near the proposed plant site for 25 years.
Maureen Kelly said they didn't know the area near the airport was zoned industrial.
"If we wanted to live in an industrial zone, we would have stayed in New Jersey," she said.
People will move out in droves if the concrete batch plant, an allowed use in an industrial zone, is approved.
"If this goes through, this place will be a ghost town," she said. "Then there goes the tax revenue."
Members of four surrounding communities — Lake Vahalla, Gabriel Estates, Smithfield Village and Birch Acres — worry the plant will pollute ground water and streams.
"Property is property, but this is over the top," said Dennis Dumas, a Lake Vahalla board member. The association recently improved their lake and worry high alkaline from the plant's water chamber could cause environmental damage.

all vertue user best handset.but data contact transfrng problem.
wasim khan
We are living in the 21st century now.. first glance make me think that i'm living in the 1980
It looks like the old samsung mobile, as if they took the old samsung and covered it with some steel. Definitely its Over rated!!!!!
in previous TI series phone they even dont provide the PC cable with it have to get it for extra cost the chips phones is better with that we get the data cable
I know they make high-class phones, but don't they look around a bit? All these vertu phones look like they're from 1999. And the screens are TINY. Geez.
andrew smith, 05 Dec 2009they finally made a phone that isnt useless!!Lol you are right :D....but still vertu sucks
is there any cellphone out there that has a am radio station? its always fm station are only available in all brands. i like to have a am radio station. i like to hear more on news. guys all brands of cellphone pls invent this, to be unique to others. this is one thing to add your marketing strategies
my comment goes for all vertus crappy phones...this is really, really, but really stupid to pay that much money for any of these phones...they should pay u for using it at least a $3.000 monthly salary....and more stupid is the person who buys this nonsense...i cannot believe there are brainless people still in this world.......iosh!!!!
why do we need a very expensive handset?
Hey guys, beaware that economics are down and we need every penny we earn.
I guess they were trying to be a little "advance" with regards to the other Vertu mobile phones which are useless besides texting. But it still looks outmoded, and if ever you're gonna buy this phone for status, I guess people won't even recognize that you're actually holding a mobile phone amounting to thousand of dollars. Useless.
in china you can find it for 100USD ,and instead of E is F,so the name is VFRTU...same functions,same size + 2 sim cards. :))))))

The Gospel today comes from Matthew 15:29-37. Jesus goes up a mountain and sits down. Presumably he sits down to teach, as sitting down is a sign of authority, like Pilate who sits down on the judgement seat when condemning Jesus to death.
We read in this passage however that they bring all the sick to Jesus, and that he heals them. This too I suppose shows authority of God over creation, that God can heal ailments others cannot.
But what are the crowed amazed with? Is it that Jesus can heal the sick, or is it that they encounter God close to them. When St. Andrew brought his brother Peter to Jesus it was with the message "we have found the Messiah" and presumably the brothers were called soon after to give everything up and follow Jesus.
It seems that Peter and Andrew followed Jesus exactly because they found God, but did the crowd? Leaving the question unanswered I would just like to ask the question to myself? Do I follow God for who he is, or because he is 'useful'? Does knowing God fill my soul's desire or my belly? Is it the real encounter or is God just a convenient helper? Something to pounder...
This is my personal blog on which I post different stories and reflections on my life as a Dominican Priest of the Irish Province of the Friars Preachers. I am a convert to Catholicism, and really want to help other to also find Jesus Christ in their lives. Hence I am passionate about vocation promotion and generally talking about the change God can make in anybody's life! I try to do a weekly reflection on the Gospel as well post video's related to the Dominican way of Life

The following points address questions that have arisen during the 2011 crop insurance decision season:
Projected prices are $6.01 per bushel for corn and $13.49 per bushel for soybeans. Projected prices are based on settlement prices of Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) futures contracts during the month of February. The December contract is used for corn and the November contract is used for soybeans.
The 2011 projected prices are at all-time highs. The next highest set of prices occurred in 2008 when projected prices were $5.40 for corn and $13.36 for soybeans.
The COMBO product was released this year. This product replaced all farm-level projects. The COMBO project has three options that provide revenue and yield protection:
Protection offered by the COMBO product is described in the following paper: Click here. Click here for a webinar on farmdoc details the COMBO product.
The county level products did not change. Group Risk Income Plan (GRIP) is county level revenue insurance and Group Risk Plan (GRP) is county level yield insurance. GRIP with the harvest revenue option (GRIP-HR) allows the guarantee to increase while GRIP without the harvest revenue option (GRIP-NoHR) does not have the guarantee increases option. The following webinar describes GRIP-HR: Click here.
Using history as a guide, most farmers will choose either:
Risk management suggestions are outlined in the following webinar: Click here.
Why not use RPwExl or GRIP-NoHR? Both of these products have revenue guarantees that will not increase if harvest price is above the projected price. These products that will have lower premiums than RP or GRIP-HR. Several itmes to keep in mind if choosing RPwExl of GRIP-NoHR:
Either RP or GRIP-HR will be good choices for the upcoming year. RP will provide better yield projection than will GRIP-HR because farm yields are used in RP's revenue calculations. GRIP-HR will provide better price protection because of the higher coverage level and because the expected yield used by GRIP does not lag expected yields as much as does the APH yield used by RP.
If taking RP, some suggestions are:
If taking GRIP-HR, some suggestions are:
Who should not use enterprise unit? Enterprise units will have lower payments than either basic or optional units because smaller acres are in the enterprise unit. Smaller units are usually beneficial for farms with land that has relatively high yield variability. Hence, farms with higher risk farmland may find basic and optional unit advantageous.
Is this a good year to not take crop insurance? Given higher premiums, a number of farmers are asking whether or not this is a good year to not take insurance. These farmers often are in strong financial position and could whether one year of adverse outcomes. Whether or not risks of lower revenues this year are different is an open question. Options markets indicate that there is more volatility this year than in recent years, suggesting that low prices are possible. Individuals who are considering self-insuring may wish to consider the whole-farm enterprise unit. This product will have low premiums while maintaining a minimum revenue level.
Premiums on alternative crops are available on-line in the crop insurance section of farmdoc. They are also available from the 2011 Crop Insurance Decision Tool, a downloadable Excel spreadsheet. These tools are available from the crop insurance section of farmdoc (http://www.farmdoc.illinois.edu/cropins/index.asp).

Edition of 100 to come...
I decided to skip around in carving order that I created this series in. I currently have around 20 plates drawn out completely, but some are a little more tedious than others. Some excite you more than others, so to work on the ones that bring forth more energy is key.
eventually the others will come around, but a little more focus will be needed.

This box started life as practice for half blind dovetails for a drawer in a different project. It was my first time doing half blinds but all four sets turned out great so I went on to the actual drawer. The practice box sat around my shop until the day before our family Christmas get together rolled around and I needed to make a box for my sister-in-law, Christen. I chopped a piece of maple with some character off the end of a board and rabbeted the edges with a shoulder plane and chamfered the edges to make a lid. I went ahead and chamfered the box and fitted it with green velvet for the bottom and finished it with the Jeff Jewitt quick box finish featured in Pop Wood a while back. It's a quick wipe down and then right back off with BLO then three coats of thinned Seal Coat Shellac then buff out with steel wool and then two coats of paste wax. This will probably become my go to finish for boxes in the future. It's quick, beautiful and almost impossible to mess up.

Since Alex was a baby, I've been keeping a single Word file with all our packing lists for trips. It is really cute to look back and see the days when he was a few months old and all I had these elaborate lists of diapers, onesies, blankets, bottles, burp cloths, toys, pacifiers, etc., versus now when I'm getting ready for our trip next week and it's: sunblock rashguards toy dinosaurs and portable dvd player. Plus it's nice to see all the places we've been as a family, and it's the closest I've been able to get to keeping a travel journal!

Net and Digital Advertising Advice for Tradesmen
Tradespeople as well as sole traders could take advantage of electronic advertising and marketing, social media as well as online search engine optimisation like never ever before with easy strategies. Our short article talks you through the basics of web marketing for tradesmen.
Regional Listings are vital For Roland 7306
Allow's state I reside in Sydney and I require a plumbing. When looking online I'm possibly mosting likely to make use of a search term along the lines of "plumbing technician near kings Cross", or "plumbing repair work in Manly".
Obtaining your internet site returned in place based searches like these is one of the most crucial points to do when marketing yourself as a tradesperson online, due to the fact that the majority of your search traffic will be place based like mine was.
area based search advertising for tradesman google map
Registering your tradesperson service with Google (or other online search engine) as well as establishing a Google+ profile will indicate that you'll turn up in searches based upon your location as well as that clients will certainly have the ability to learn your service contact information, and even click to call straight from their phone, straight from the search engine result page.
It's a fast, one off set up, with the included benefit that even more of the leads generated will be close to you, saving you take a trip time and gas! But do not get your hopes approximately quickly. Numerous organisations are currently capitalizing on this piece of cake solution, so if you haven't obtained onboard yet, you're behind the
One more need to register your company is since people leave you assesses straight through Google as well as your Google+ profile (You'll establish this up when registering your company). As received the picture, these reviews are visible in search results page – together with your call information and area. They are likewise a making a decision consider just how Google rates your web site against other rivals.
Is word of mouth advertising and marketing still relevant?
Similar to a lot of the subjects we're mosting likely to discuss right here, each one is worthy of an entire library. Designing and also maintaining a website, however, is absolutely one of the most significant. Suffice to say it could be an endless pit of time and cash which big businesses can invest actually millions. However, for smaller sized budgets initially simply set your views on matching and afterwards improving your local competitor.
The Relevance of Responsive Layout
If you're setting up a brand-new web site do not overlook creating it to be responsive to the different devices viewing it. This indicates that the parts of internet site will certainly resize and respond properly depending upon whether the visitor is using a computer system, tablet or smart phone. Traditional stats offered online will show you that 30% of all your website traffic will come from phones as well as tablet computers and as clever Televisions and watches can be found in as well as obsolescent this is only going to climb in the future. Having a website that executes badly on a typical tool will decrease the price at which you convert site visitors right into leads and also sales.
When setting up a web site, or updating an existing one, most essential is to begin tiny and straightforward as well as expand on just what's working. Birthing in mind that a lot of people will be checking out numerous websites, the next most vital point is to highlight why they ought to pick you. Just how you show all this depends considerably on the dimension as well as design of the site and also the type of job you do but also with the most easy, one page web site, this need to always be consisted of.
The simpler you could maintain your site, the much easier and quicker it will be for your clients to make a decision. Keep in mind– you'll have a couple of secs to sway them prior to they relocate down the checklist of pages to among your rivals. Once you're operating though you can utilize your web site analytics to see what works as well as test out new pages and suggestions.
Web site analytics are different solutions that will track the metrics of your site's efficiency. In their most basic form they will tell you how many individuals are viewing your pages, how much time they remain on each web page, which pages cause many people to leave and also which web pages create many people to remain or acquire. Over time, you could utilize these stats to comprehend exactly what is working for you, as well as where your consumers originate from i.e. browsing through an internet search engine, through a web link from a post blogged about you online, from a testimonial site and so on. If you prepare to establish your site in time, this details will supply the factual understanding about the exactly how and why.
A tradesperson's business internet site Needs
When you've enough cash, to purchase Your internet site A straightforward 5 page site is all you have to start.
Just how tradesmen utilize an internet site.
It has to have
a header that claims your firm name and also phone number,
a web page that defines your company as well as the geographical area where you work,
a web page with your full call details,
a page to define your professional skill,
a web page of customer reviews,
a page about you and also your group.
A tradesperson's subscriber list
As soon as you've been helping a while, you will certainly send invoices to get clients paying you. This is your chance to start to expand a subscriber list This serves since your previous customers could refer you to future clients, and also sending out mailshots or newsletters serves as a reminder to individuals concerning your solutions, as well as ways to call you.
Just how a tradesman utilizes a newsletter.
Keep a document of every customer name, business name, address, telephone as well as email when you raise a billing. If you make use of an accounting software program programme, it'll conserve these information for you.
When you get a phone call or e-mail enquiry for a new task, save the get in touch with information. Examine the phone that you have actually spelled their name properly– this is particularly vital for e-mail addresses since one wrong letter and also the message will not arrive.
When you do a job quote, save the call details.
Monthly collect all these listings into one place (ideally digital). Save the data with an obvious name e.g. August 2014 Newsletter. Then send out a short message to the entire listing using expert email sending software application like MailChimp/AWeber/FeedBlitz. DO NOT USE your email program. Ask me why not if you have no idea.
Place the day in your journal to send out the e-newsletter each month for 1 year.
Stick to the timetable.
Send out that mailing.
Even if it is short and has one photo of a job you have actually done (prior to as well as after photos are wonderful), or a client review– all of it builds up. Gradually you will certainly reach having a large list.
State you do 10 jobs a month as well as satisfy 5 brand-new individuals every month who take a card. Within 5 years you'll have over 900 names on your listing. If you do 20 tasks a month and also fulfill 10 new individuals– you reach 900 names in half the time!

The application to be an EMT or a Paramedic requires disclosure of any felony charges. You must disclose any felony convictions, as well as any felony charges to which you plead "no contest" or the court withheld adjudication.
While it may be tempting to exclude these charges, and hope that you do not get caught, this can lead to severe consequences: you can be denied a license or lose your license.
It is a much better choice to be honest, but the best option is to contact strong legal representation if you have charges filed against you.
Not every felony conviction is an automatic denial for a license, but the risk of losing a license you already have is much higher when there are felonies involved. Murder, sexual battery, child abuse, and other felonies charges will mean an automatic denial or revocation of your license.
What To Do if You Have a Prior Conviction
If you do have felony charges to disclose, you must also include the following with your application:
- A law enforcement background check from the state where the felony occurred
- The court documents showing the final disposition of the charges
- Proof that your civil rights have been restored (if they have)
- An explanation of the circumstances surrounding your charges
- Any personal or professional recommendation letters that may help your case
After you have provided that information, it will be up to the state whether they allow you to receive a license or whether your request to be licensed as an EMT or paramedic is denied.
With that in mind, you may want to focus on fighting the charges so you can avoid a felony conviction. Then, you will not have to disclose anything when you apply, or will not be at risk of losing your license if you already have it.
When it comes to fighting a criminal charge or conviction, it is important to have the right attorney on your side. This is true whether you are trying to get an EMT or paramedic license for the first time, or you are trying to keep the license you have already obtained.
Keeping a License You Already Have
Those who already have this license will generally lose that privilege as a result of the conviction. If you have been arrested and charged with a felony, it is important that you act quickly to protect your rights and attempt to hold onto your professional reputation.
With good legal help you may be able to avoid a conviction, which would mean a better chance at keeping your license. If the arrest itself becomes an issue there is an appeal process you can use in order to try to keep your license.
However, the best option for anyone who is a licensed paramedic or EMT is to move quickly if there has been an arrest or any charges that would result in a felony. The faster you seek out legal help for your charges, the faster you can work toward a successful resolution that allows you to continue in your profession.

Jampro Antennas to showcase JA/MS-BB broadband UHF slot antenna
Jampro Antennas will make the European debut of its new Jampro UHF RWED-516-U compact TV mask/filter combiner at IBC2008. The company also will show the newest member of its Prostar line, the JA/MS-BB broadband UHF slot antenna.
The RWED-516-U compact TV mask/filter combiner incorporates four-port directional filter/combining that can be used as a mask filter or as a constant impedance-combining module for high-power UHF TV broadcasts.
The RWED-516-U has a cross-coupled design that accommodates adjacent channels, meets stringent filtering standards and provides constant impedance performance in adjacent channel applications as well as channel separations greater than 15 channels.
Designed for analog or DTV broadband applications, the new Jampro JA/MS-BB UHF slot antenna eliminates the need for multiple antennas and provides a single, compact broadband solution that conserves tower space and minimizes wind loading.
