Big Day for SSR - Well Wishes from every

All,
I just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that our largest contributor, SSR, is getting married tomorrow (the 2st of January). Some may have noticed his absence over the last few days (I know I have), all part of preparing to tie the knot. I want to dedicate this thread to offering our congratulations to him and his new wife.
Congrats!
Jeremy
(I know this belongs in the General thread, but this is where all of the people he has interacted with hang out so I feel we can bend the rules a little this time)

Congratulations - and all the best for you and your wife!
BTW: 2 weeks ago I registered with the "old" Creative Europe Forum. Only seven posts later the forum closed and changed to this one. My first action after re-registering here (due to the fact that the user accounts were not moved) was searching for SSR - and I was not able to find current messages posted by him. So I really thought, he was "lost" when moving the forum. Now I've learned that he is/was the most acti've contributor in both forums, and now I know he'll be back after honeymoon :-))Message Edited by carsei on 0-2-2005 0:5 PM

  • Hi Everyone! Today was a big day for me, and I have my first question

    Hi everybody, I've been lurking here for the past month or so, but I finally created an account today because this week has been a big deal for me, and I have a question which you guys may know the answer to. Little bit of background knowledge.  I'm a rising second year student, and as far as credit is concerned, I've only had one.  This card would be the Wells Fargo College Card.  I started off when I turned 18 with a $500 limit, and it was increased this spring to $800.  During the summer I decided to shop around on banks for my checking, and decided to go with PNC.  I applied for their CashBuilder card, but was denied for the typical student reasons (insufficient credit history, loan balances too high, etc.).  It did give me a credit report out of it at least (learned my Experian is 722). Anyway, in the last month, I learned that I have the chance to study abroad in France this upcoming spring, so I began research on a card with no foreign transaction fees.  I became engrossed in learning about all the different banks, cards, and options not just for my time as a student, but for (what I thought) would come after graduation.  I settled on the Discover Chrome and Capital One Journey for the immediate future.  Discover is clearly my favorite (most of what I buy is gas / eating out), but the acceptance in France is minimal, so I needed the Journey too. I was instantly approved for both.  Don't know how much my CL on the Chrome is, but my Journey gave me $2,000.  This seemed really high to me, considering I have only had one card, for just over a year, which is only at $800.  I slept on this for a couple nights, and decided that I was too curious on whether or not I should have tried for the Capital One Quicksilver first. To test this, I decided to apply for the Chase Freedom (a card that I planned on applying for next summer), just to see if I could get a 'big boy' card.  I was instantly approved for $2,500!  I was surprised, shocked, amazed, etc!!! Then I got even more curious.  I now had a great rotating category card, but what if I could get (in my opinion) the best flat cashback card out there: the Citi CashBuilder.  I had heard stories about how you need excellent credit, and years worth of history, so I figured this would be the card to get after graduation.  But, I decided to try now, because why not.  My score can take the pulls now since I don't plan on applying for anything huge.  So I pulled the trigger, and was instantly approved for $1,500!!!!  Again, I was shocked. So this week has been great to say the least.  But, I can't help but kick myself for applying for the Journey, when it seems obvious to me that somehow, I could have had a pretty good shot at the QuickSilver.  So now I get to my question. What are the chances for me to change the Journey to a Quicksilver before December.  I know Capital One gives an automatic credit limit after 5 months, and that in some cases, you can upgrade that early, but would it be possible to do it sooner?  If I wait until my 5 months, that gives a very short time for me to actually receive the card which I would desperately need. Also, I'm wondering just how high PNC's standards are for credit.  It seems really odd that I could get a $2,500 CL with Chase (who I've had no relationship with) but couldn't get even a small limit with PNC who I migrated my checking to.

    I have the Journey card, and shortly after I was approved for the Venture and Quicksilver. Check their pre-qualifier and see if either comes up for you. I know the Venture has no foreign transaction fees and it starts with high limits. But I will say my Journey card grew as well; I started with 1k and they auto increased me at 5 or 6 months to 5k. Plus soon we can combine their cards, so I would stick with the Journey for a little while and just go ahead and app for the Venture or Quicksilver.

  • How to relate current day to date hierarchy [year - month - day] for SSRS report paramenter

    Hi there: 
      I've created a SSRS report based on OLAP cube. In this report, there is a date parameter which is used to filter out data. 
    Now , I want this report to be run and always retrieve data from previous day. I need to supply the date parameter with something
    like SQL syntax: DATEADD(dd,-1,GETDATE())  . The question is how can I do that in the MDX world? 
     thanks
     Hui
    --Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

    Hi Hui,
    According to your description, you need to retrieve data from previous day, so you are looking for an expression in MDX which can achieve the requirement like SQL syntax: DATEADD(dd,-1,GETDATE()), right?
    As per my understanding, it easy to achieve this requirement in report level ranther than in MDX query level. You can create another hidden parameter "Date2" using the expression below.
    =DateAdd("d",-1,Parameters!Date.Value)
    Then use Date2 parameter to filter in the query.
    If don't want to create another parameter, you can use it like below.
    Year     =DatePart("yyyy",DateAdd("d",-1,Parameters!Date.Value))
    Quarter  =DatePart("qq",DateAdd("d",-1,Parameters!Date.Value))
    Month    =DatePart("mm",DateAdd("d",-1,Parameters!Date.Value))
    Week     =DatePart("ww",DateAdd("d",-1,Parameters!Date.Value))
    Besides, DateAdd function is supported in MDX, please refer to the link below.

  • Big Thanks for Menu Remote Setting from Ch. Play Lists

    Just before I handed over a DVD with 5 menus and 19 Ch. Play Lists, I was reading old posts on the EncoreDVD Forum. In several posts, many of the regulars pointed out a potential problem with Menu Remote, being set to "Return to Last Menu," rather than being physically set to return to the specific menu, from which that Ch. Playlist was launched.
    I had not known of this problem, beforehand, and was just assuming that "Return to Last Menu," was OK, as it was what I intended. I had not tested my Project 100% from the +RW, as I do not normally use the Menu Remote button, and all else was as I wanted it.
    I made the corrections to the specific Menus for the final, and then tested the +RW again - about half of the time, the Menu Remote took me back to the Main Menu! Not what I wanted, but had not bothered checking. Much better to know now, than when the client is screening the DVD and this is creating a problem.
    Thanks for the H/U on this little glitch, and providing the easy solution to it. The forums at their best!!!!
    I also understand that this little quirk has been addressed and fixed in CS3.

    Oops,
    Missed the sub-forum by two. This was supposed to go in Playlists. Maybe JerryK, or KingLeonard will move it. Sorry about clicking the wrong line.

  • Big step for my mum and dad, only got one problem!

    Hey guys.
    Uhmn, so, yesterday was a big day for my parents (especially my dad), we were out grocery shopping and decided to drop by the electronic-section. I randomly started babbling about all sorts of thing I'd like to have, the pros and cons of everything - yeah, you know, suddenly my dad stops, completely mesmerised by this docking-station for iPod and iPhone - I'm like; Dad, come on, I already have one of those, besides, that one is way too expensive! Then he says: yeah, but I've been reading about this one (can't remember the brand, but it was a big docking station, almost like a stander lamp, actually), and everyone says it's brill, so I've been thinking about buying it! (I think you need to know that though my dad makes all these computer-systems, like Navision, he's never been a gadget-freak) First, I'm like; you're joking right? But he wasn't joking, he was being dead serious. So I went to get some help to show us different docking stations.
    After about 35 minutes and a lot docking stations we finally go home and in the car on the way home, my dad says; I'm not so sure about these iPod-things, they seem so temporary, almost as if they'll invent some crazily different **** tomorrow.
    And I'm like, no, Dad, they've had the same things since I got my first iPod, they're not going to change it over night. But, my dad's convinced that they're going to change everything and that his new docking station will be useless in six months. I've been trying to convince him for the past 24 hours, but he won't believe me. He's so sure that they're going to change the connecting-thingy at the bottom of the iPod/iPhone so that he won't be able to connect future iPods/iPhone to his future docking stations.
    I'd really like to tell him that all you Apple-mentals have proved him wrong, so please help me?
    Also..... He's going to buy a new mobile next year (well, so he's said, but usually he's searching the market for six months before making a decision), and I've tried to convince him to buy an iPhone, just so that he won't have to buy an iPod as well, but he doesn't want an iPhone cos of the whole the-antenna-wasn't-working-problem. I don't have an iPhone myself (not really my type, but I think it'd be brilliant for my dad), but I have loads of friends who have an iPhone and their antennas work impeccably.
    Please, please help me convince my dad and show him the 21st century.

    I can't really convince your Dad about the Docking Station thing, and of course, usually this section is devoted to problems, but I'll do the best I can.
    If they did change the bottom where you can connect it to you're computer, billions of Apple users would have to change their computers, too. I'm fairly certain they will make the iPhone, iPod, iPad and so forth very thinner, but getting rid of that would cause billions of Apple Users their computer's lives. If they changed that, then charging it into your computer would also change. There would have to be a different hole THERE, too. If this isn't what you mean, just reply.

  • Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

    Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • My windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

    my windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

    All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
    As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

  • Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

    Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
    In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

    Hi Kevin,
    I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
    You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

  • I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old.  Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

    I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old.  Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?
    I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
    This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS.  After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc.  Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
    I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
    That said, any tips?
    Thanks
    It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom.  I've posted that as another question.

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.

  • When I get art work from older illustrator programs and other programs the colors don't print the same as they did about 2 months ago. Big issue for me! How do I cange this or fix it?

    Things were going fine until about a month or so ago, now when I take files from older illustrator programs or other programs that ran fine with illustrator before, the colors change. This is a BIG problem for me right now! I tried the on line help thing and I was afraid to erase the files that it asked me to erase because I may want it back the way it now is some day and because I don't have the files from the older program...  PLS help! Have tryed to call and am waiting for a chat to open,... 

    gaskins,
    You may have different Color Settings, and if you use Pantone you should be aware that the whole interpretation has changed (a number of times, most radically recently).
    If you say more, more can be said.

    Ebay is not an official reseller.  Return it if you can for a refund.
    Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • HT5622 seems like every 3-4 days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been reset,if you didn't change it go to etc'

    ipad 4
    ALmost every few days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been changed.... if you didn't change please go to Apple and change your id password
    I have had to do this for the 7th time in 4 weeks

    If you are receiving e-mail messages that indicate that someone is trying to reset your Apple ID password, they may be phishing scams. Do not click any links in those e-mail messages, and if you make the mistake of doing so, do not provide your current Apple ID password on the page you are directed to.
    Unfortunately, in this case, there's nothing to be done except treat those messages the same way you would any other spam.
    The other possibility is that someone is actually trying to reset your Apple ID password. This may be due to a malicious attack, but more likely, it's just someone who thinks your Apple ID is actually theirs (due to a typo, faulty memory or something similar) and is trying to "regain" access. In any case, this is merely an annoyance, but you can put an end to it by enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID. This will require an additional piece of information that only you will possess in order to even start the password reset process.
    If you are actually seeing your password getting changed, and are having to reset it yourself to regain access, you are being hacked. This could be because your password is not strong enough to withstand a brute-force attack by a botnet. It could also be because the attacker already has access to your e-mail address, and is able to intercept the reset e-mail and complete the reset process. Because of that danger, you should change the password for the e-mail account associated with your Apple ID. You should also change the password for your Apple ID, making sure that it is a strong password, and enable two-factor authentication as mentioned above.

  • Spotlight on G5 spotlighting every day for hours

    hi all,
    I have installed Leopard 10.5.3 on my G5 2.3 dual (4 FW disks attached on it) and since then Spotlight searches for files every day for hours, on all disks, internal and external;
    I really don't know what SL is looking for and why these searches are endless,
    but it's so frustrating when I need to find a file because SLing is not available during its search;
    I have the same problem with my MBP 15" Penryn 2.4GHz but only when external disks are on;
    has anybody out there any idea about that? I wonder, is that normal function?
    thanks for helping_

    What malware was found by ClamXav? Most likely, it was Windows malware. Also, unfortunately, most likely it was Windows malware attached to e-mail messages, in which case deleting it from ClamXav probably corrupted one or more of your mailboxes. Assuming you're using Mail, you should probably rebuild all your mailboxes, by selecting each one, one at a time, and using the Rebuild command in the Mailbox menu on each.
    Regarding Mac malware, you most likely have nothing to fear. There isn't much malware out there for Macs, and all of it is very rare. Of course, if you're actually using Mac OS X 10.5.8, as your profile indicates, you have fewer defenses than users of more up-to-date systems. For more on this topic, see my Mac Malware Guide.
    As to the downloads, there are many things that could account for that. Jon P D gave a couple excellent possibilities. Regarding the wifi, if you're using a wifi router to create a network without a password, or with weak WEP encryption, you could easily have someone piggybacking on your wifi and using your bandwidth without permission. Lock down the network with WPA2 encryption and a good, strong password that people won't be able to guess.
    Also, note that Mac OS X downloads updates automatically in the background, and there were a number of large updates this week. If you have a connection that only allows you to download a certain amount per month, you may want to turn that option off in System Preferences -> Software Update, so that you can choose when new updates are downloaded.

  • How to get period date of for a given month from a given date in mdx for SSRS report (mm/dd/yyyy)

    I have a situation,  where i need to write expression Period to date(PTD). i want to know how to get the period date. i want you to help in writing Period date or else is there any function to get period date for a given date(the  date is given
    from the parameter dynamically) in MDX for SSRS report
    ram

    Hi ram,
    Per my understanding that you want to get the period date based on the month selected and the given date, right?
    Could you please provide details information below to help us better understanding your requirements, thus we will be more effective to provide an solution:
    What is the format of the period date you want to get, is this date in the DB and you want to filter it based on the month and the given Date?
    Did the month and given date are two parameters in the report? if possible, could you please provide some sample data in the DB and also the snapshot of the report structure
    I assume you want to get the period date(mm/dd/yyy) between the select month(e.g:Feb) and the given date (10/1/2014) and you should get the date between(02/01/2014-10/1/2014).
    If so,and you also have two parameter "Month","EndDate"(EndDate is the given date), please reference to details information below:
    You can create an new parameter "BeginDate" (Date/Time) which is the begin date of the period, you can use the expression to get the value based on the value of the month and the year value from the given date,finally hide this parameter:
    Specify the available value:
    Label:=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value)
    Value:=CDate(=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value))
    Specify the default Value:
    Value:=CDate(=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value))
    Add filter to the dataset as below:
    Preview you will get all the date in the given Period:
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

    And i hope to take my suggusts and make me happy becouse apple it is cooler from samsung
    Apple the best
    H.M

    The iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
    No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
    as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality.

Maybe you are looking for
