New building looking good for the horses:
Now we know where Steve will be sleeping when in the dog house.
I think he's expecting to host many visitors if SQLPass comes again to Denver 🙂
Will they have to bring and sleep on their own saddles?
You may have forgotten the hackneys 😀

Of the year? I think I'd put it down to of the decade, but that's not what the contest was. Regardless, congratulations Jeff. You earned it! Can't wait for the SSC party.

I doubt anyone is still interested, but yesterday, the data about poverty in the US was updated. The stats are bad (thank you incompetent/malignant federal government and Federal Reserve Bank), but, as per prior discussions on The Thread, they're also being exaggerated.
Summarized data here: http://blog.heritage.org/2011/09/13/morning-bell-surprising-facts-about-americas-poor/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Morning%2BBell
It has links to the detailed reports.
Some interesting details:
•80 percent of poor households have air conditioning
•Nearly three-fourths have a car or truck, and 31 percent have two or more cars or trucks
•Nearly two-thirds have cable or satellite television
•Two-thirds have at least one DVD player and 70 percent have a VCR
•Half have a personal computer, and one in seven have two or more computers
•More than half of poor families with children have a video game system, such as an Xbox or PlayStation
•43 percent have Internet access
•One-third have a wide-screen plasma or LCD television
•One-fourth have a digital video recorder system, such as a TiVo
2009 statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture [show] that 96 percent of poor parents stated that their children were never hungry at any time during the year because they could not afford food, 83 percent of poor families reported having enough food to eat, and over the course of a year, only 4 percent of poor persons become temporarily homeless, with 42 percent of poor households actually owning their own homes. ... The average poor American has more living space than the average Swede or German.
So, despite anecdotes and propaganda to the contrary, poverty in the US, while a problem needing to be solved, is very, very relative, and is quite comfortable compared to poverty, or even "average income" in much of the world.
Approximately 46.2-million Americans are in poverty per Census. Per Agriculture, 83% of those report having enough food to eat. That's still 17% reporting not having enough. Of course, "enough" is a subjective judgement, and all that, but 17% of 46.2-million is still 7.9-million without enough to eat. Needs work. 4% homeless is 1.8-million. That's unacceptable in this country. 60% of homeless men are veterans. If you want data on how to help, check out http://www.nationalhomeless.org/index.html.

I'm there for the three days of SQLBits, although I'll have to sneak off mid-afternoon on the Saturday. I see yourself and Steve are presenting there.
Anybody else from this motley bunch attending?
