Andy Leonard will be joining me to present a Developing Extensions for SSIS webcast on May 22nd. It's been a long time since I've had the chance to present a code heavy session like this, and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll be using this session as a dry run for a talk I'll be giving at the DevTeach conference in Toronto the following week, so feedback will be much appreciated.
Andy has a great blog series about creating custom SSIS Tasks, and his company (Linchpin People) recently released an SSIS Event Task. I plan on expanding on the content in Andy's blog posts a little bit, and talk about some of the key things you need to know when building an SSIS Data Flow component.
The abstract for the talk is available below, and registration page can be found here.
Join Matt Masson and Andy Leonard for a discussion and demonstrations on extending SSIS with custom tasks and data flow components. This code heavy session walks you through the creation of a custom SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Task, and a custom Data Flow component. If you've ever thought of customizing SSIS functionality beyond what you can do with scripting, this talk is for you! All examples will be in coded in C#, and made available following the session.

Athens, Other Cities of Attica, and Athenian Imitatives
The ancient slang names for the coins of Athens were "owls" and "girls" (but in Greek of course). "Owls" were so popular as a central currency of the ancient world that the design remained essentially unchanged and somewhat archaic long after other cities began to produce coins of a more refined artistic style. "Owls" are still very popular. For collectors, they are perhaps the most popular ancient coin type.

The new variety of radio on the web
Classic radio with its FM stations was a simple way for people to listen to music and get information. However, the variety of stations offered in the FM world is severely restricted due to the fact that the frequencies of the individual stations are not allowed to be too similar, as interference may otherwise occur.
Therefore only a few radio stations in each region are available to listen to on FM radio and for many people the selection of programmes on offer is simply too small.
The internet doesn't face this problem, and so a seemingly endless supply of web radio and live stream providers have emerged on the net. The spectrum ranges from web streams of known FM stations to independant internet radio stations and hobby projects.
Instead of FM frequencies, web radio stations have so-called stream-URLs, over which the particular programmes can be listened to on a smartphone or computer. However, these stream addresses are not particularly clearly arranged or memorable.
Unlike the set up of conventional radios, in principle, anyone can run their own radio station. If you would to advertise or start your own internet radio station Contact Us Here.
It is now possible to listen to internet radio over a satellite and cellular mobile networks
Ever since EDGE radio technology was introduced in 2003 the necessary data transmission rates have been available for radio use on the go. However, even better transmission rates are now available using UMTS, HSDPA and LTE standards.
A radio station for every occasion
Web radio provides the perfect playground for DJs and radio producers to make really particular internet radio stations available worldwide, without listeners having to spend time searching for the right frequencies.
For example, there are more than 100 radio stations dedicated entirely to Christmas music. Beginning with stations only playing the finest Christmas songs from our childhood, from swinging oldies by Frank Sinatra or new classics by Robbie Williams, to the mega hits including Wham!'s "Last Christmas" and Chris Rea's "Driving Home for Christmas".
Similarly, radio stations around the theme of the carnival can also be found. Here the best carnival hits from Mardi Gras, New Orleans or the hottest samba rhythms straight out of Rio are played out non-stop. Afterall, a proper carnival party doesn't only need good costumes, but fitting music too. Of course the same applies for Halloween, for which we also have specialized stations to provide that gruesome atmosphere, whether it be with eerie music or with horrifying background sounds.
Valentine's Day is also celebrated worldwide. Although celebrations are of course conducted in a much quieter fashion, we still have an excellent selection of stations on offer for all frequencies of love: from tender romance to pure heartache. And what's more, the best love songs can also be played all year round.
In addition, those who are looking to host new years parties can pick from a whole range of house and techno stations featuring the best live DJ-sets to transform your living room into a dance floor for the occasion.
Some programs can only be found on web radio
Those of you who find conventional radio playlists too boring can take part in interactive voting on web radio stations such as I Love Radio to choose which song should play next. The station offers a variety of channels such as I Love Radio 2 Dance or the Bravo Charts, music requests and other opportunities to interact, promoting the listener to the position of program director.
A completely different program direction can be found on radio station Birdsong. fm, which completely avoids man-made music altogether. Instead, its playlist consists of birdsong alone. This one really is a stream that brings the beauty of nature onto the radio, although this time without the playlist and reference to which song is being played.
To start your own station or advertise Contact Us Here.
What are podcasts and how do they work?
Although podcasts weren't invented by radio stations, podcasting has become an important tool used by radio stations to increase their audience. A podcast offers listeners a simple way of listening to audio content at any time.
Most podcasts consist of episodes that are published on a regular basis. At any one time listeners receive the most current edition of the respective podcast at the top of the list of episodes. This is taken care of by XML files provided by a website called RSS feeds. All sounds rather complicated? Don't worry. radio.net not only has radio stations on offer, but also numerous podcasts that you can access and listen to directly via our website or on our app for smartphones without using up the memory of the phone itself.

DEKALB — To say the Northern Illinois Huskie football team that took the practice field for its first spring workout Tuesday has a different feel, is a bit of an understatement.
Just ask head coach Rod Carey, who is 12-3 since taking over prior to the 2013 Orange Bowl. Or just about any player.
"I don't know if we have any more holes than we did last year," Carey said. "But we had a different feel last year. It's going to be about the same transition as it was last year. But the big difference, the biggest thing is, well Jordan (Lynch) isn't here."
The starting quarterback the past two seasons, Lynch not only became the first Heisman Trophy finalist and the highest-placing Mid-American Conference player in the award's distinguished history when he finished third, but he rewrote the Huskies' record books as well. Lynch holds three single-game, 16 single-season and six career NIU records, and he also set five NCAA FBS records for rushing by a quarterback.
He was a pretty good leader, too, helping lift NIU to the nation's longest home-winning streak (26 games) and victories over two Big Ten teams (Iowa and Purdue) last year — the first MAC squad to do so. Battling to replace him are three "evenly matched quarterbacks," according to Carey: Matt McIntosh, Drew Hare and Anthony Maddie.
And while Carey hinted he and his staff already have a good idea of who has the edge to be the team's 2014 starter, he also added with a laugh: "We're not going to tell you who it is."
And still, while Lynch is gone, what is not is the taste that is left in mouths of the 16 returning starters after they won their first 12 games only to fall in the last two: the MAC title game vs. Bowling Green (47-27) and the Poinsettia Bowl against Utah State (21-14).
"None of that sat well with any of us," returning starting cornerback Paris Logan said. "I'm thinking a lot of us went out and worked a lot harder because of the way it ended."
NIU returns nine starters on offense and six on defense, but the entire defensive line is new, three of the four defensive backs are fresh, and, of course, the offense will have a new leader.
Still, the players who were a part of last year's team that spent 11 weeks ranked in the top 25 have gained confidence from more than just the fact that they had a good quarterback.
"We'll just have to see how it all goes as we get going in camp," offensive lineman Aidan Conlon said. "Right now, we're all grinding, just like we would be when Jordan was here.
"We're moving on. We've got all of our skills returning, we're going to do just fine moving the ball with this group this year."
They will learn a lot over the next five weeks as the Huskies hold 15 practices, culminating in the Huskie Bowl, the team's annual spring game, on April 19.

Man Claims 'People Search' Site Spokeo Harmed His Job Hunt
A court ruled that a Virginia man can sue Spokeo.com for revealing information.
Feb. 6, 2014 -- While people willingly share personal information on social media sites such as Facebook, one Virginia man claims in a lawsuit that "people finder" sites like Spokeo.com aggregate personal information to the point of being "harmful" in his attempt to find a job.
Ben Richman, an attorney for Thomas Robins, of Vienna, Va., said a decision issued this week by a court of appeals, which allows the 2011 case to move forward, represents a broader shift in the legal landscape, in which courts are putting greater emphasis on protecting consumer privacy and the right to control one's information.
"People have a right to keep their information private," Richman said.
Robins claims that "inaccurate" information in his Spokeo.com profile, which the site aggregated from publicly available information, "caused actual harm" to his employment prospects, according to his complaint filed in 2011. He alleges that the site acts as a consumer reporting agency, despite Spokeo's denial that it is. Robins, thereby, accuses Spokeo of violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act by failing to provide the proper notices that credit reporting agencies such as Experian are required to provide.
Spokeo, which calls itself a "people search service," was founded by a group of Stanford University graduates in 2006, according to its website. The company is based in Pasadena, Calif.
Spokeo's site allows you to search by five methods: first and last name, phone number, email, street address or username. It is supported by paid subscriptions of $3.95 a month for six months, or $4.95 for three months. The terms of use indicate that users will be billed $23.70 every six months until a subscription is canceled.
The company obtains information from "more than 50 types of sources," including public record data, surveys and "social data" that "has not been deemed private," the company says on its website.
Spokeo says in its terms of use that using the site to determine eligibility on employment, credit or other use under the Fair Credit Reporting Act is "explicitly prohibited."
Robins' inaccurate information in question included: that he was in his 50s, married with children and was employed in a professional and technical field, his lawsuit said. His profile also inaccurately indicated that he had a graduate degree, his economic health is "very strong" and that his wealth level was in the "top 10 %."

In a legal response to Robins' lawsuit, Spokeo asserted that Robins failed to allege a "willful" violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
In 2011, Judge Otis Wright II of the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles dismissed his claims for "lack of standing." But on Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Robins can move forward with his lawsuit.
While Judge Wright said Robins failed to show that he suffered actual harm, the three-judge panel wrote on Tuesday that a plaintiff "can suffer a violation of the statutory right without suffering actual damages." The case will next return to the District Court.
Spokeo did not respond to a request for comment. An attorney for Spokeo declined to comment.
While Robins' lawsuit was sparked by his alleged inaccurate information aggregated by Spokeo, there are dangers of having one's accurate information online, whether publicly available or not, said Adam Levin, founder of Identity Theft 911, which provides identity risk management.
"There are some people who might say if an identity thief is trying to look me up, I would prefer some of my information be inaccurate," Levin said.

Levin said sites like Spokeo, Ancestry.com and Classmates.com represent an "obsession" about finding out about our past and others.
"That's great if it's a personal research project or way to connect with an old friend," Levin said. "Unfortunately everyone has access to this: both people with good and bad intentions."

Leaving Zone 2, Colin Roberts investigates West London's exploding music 'scene' and the artists' thoughts, insights and opinions
Tonight, outside Brentford Football Club, the queue's longer than when Saturday comes. The clientele, however, is somewhat different; scores of well-coiffured, undernourished teenagers line up down the road, waiting to see if they'll be lucky enough to gain entry to the Stripes bar, the Bees' adjacent-to-stadium drinking hole and now host venue to 'Way Out West', a twice-monthly live music event that, most importantly, is open to all ages.
Tonight's bill, as Wimbledon born-n'-bred Jamie T proclaims, is "f*cking amazing." Mystery Jets (pictured; above), Larrikin Love and indeed, Jamie T himself, all of whom signed major record deals in the second half of 2005, are on the hot 'tip' lists for 2006 and all are playing a smaller venue tonight than they would dream of doing in central London anymore.
"It's just amazing to see bands from my town doing so well, no one's ever come out of here before," says Twickenham resident David, 14. Whether or not he's correct is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that the people queuing here tonight, those who've already blagged their way in and the select few who are old enough to frequent the pub at the bottom of the street share the same burning passion to be part of something. They want to look back on this part of town as the children of '60s Liverpool look back on the Cavern club. They've read the music press that tells them time and time again that the artists on the bill tonight are on the cusp of something, awaiting super-stardom. The fans, with their schoolyard affiliations, want to tell their children that they used to sneak a cigarette with Blaine of Mystery Jets behind the bikesheds at lunchtime, or Ed from Larrikin Love once said something nice about their poem.
This kind of sub-cultural revolution in such an area always brings ups and downs. Various factions of the national music press enjoy placing every new surge of music into a 'scene', loosely connected by the style of music they play. The Strokes and Interpol formed the NME-led New York takeover, while Canada has been responsible for a media and record industry frenzy, kickstarted by the Arcade Fire's broadsheet successes. In the UK we've recently been subject to cries of Leeds and how its bands are going to save this country from musical anonymity in the future. The truth remains however, that as soon as an artist is placed into these brackets, it's hard to escape.
"The other day in NME," begins Edward, lead singer and lyricist of Larrikin Love (pictured, left), "Alfie [bass] jokingly referred to the West London thing as 'Thamesbeat'. We laughed at the time, but it's already starting to grate."
Nobody in these bands deliberately sets out to create a movement or scene or any pigeonholed selection of bands, it's generally something journalists create to make describing unique or fresh artists quicker than claiming they sound like 'band X having sex with band Y while snorting cocaine from the crevices of band Q'. The real difference here is that these artists have been giving each other hands-up for nearly two years now and whilst Leeds almost stagnates under the weight of its own similarly-approached punky-rock, every artist that forms part of this particular faction is different from the next.
"This is why I don't really see it as a scene," says Will, the Mystery Jets' sheepskin-toting guitarist, "we're a bunch of bands and artists - not even that many - who are mates and love each other's music. The only way in which we're a scene is that Twickenham and Brentford and West London have formed the scene of our births and childhoods."
When DiS suggests that tonight is almost a celebration of their combined success, Jamie T (pictured, right), Wimbledon's bedroom-based poet concurs. "It's just nice isn't it? A load of mates who have been playing together for fucking ages get this chance to say thanks and have a fucking laugh. That's what it's all about man."
Indubitably, which is why twenty minutes later, when Jamie takes the stage and the crowd push forward to try and see him, he's smiling like nothing else matters. "This is nuts," he announces.
Much has been made of the internet since the meteoric rise of the Arctic Monkeys, giving away tracks on their website and talking to fans at shows, but bands have been doing this for years. It's evident tonight as Jamie pushes through his set, every chorus being echoed by the crowd like footage from a Wembley Stadium set by Queen. For someone who has released a lone, limited edition 7" single, that's got to be pretty exciting.
"I don't really know how they know all the words," he mutters, "they remember more than I fucking do and to songs that I haven't even recorded yet."
Larrikin Love are fronted with a similar and even more boisterous reaction, as the band play up to the energetic cries of the crowd, the PA is knocked over twice and the band have last song 'Calypso' cut short as a few wayward folk end up on the stage. The sweat builds heavily in the air and everything begins to make sense. For every ten dispassionate, Blunt-buying music fans in Britain, there is one person here tonight who has a musical flame burning incredibly brightly in their stomach. The crowd aren't even concerned as Alex, singer from the aforementioned Arctic Monkeys makes his way through the venue to catch future NME tour mates Mystery Jets, before they head out on the road together. That's not why they're here.
If you refuse to subscribe to the contorted music hack vision that each and every artist is part of a movement, each movement being calculatedly controlled to dominate music, then there is so much more that can instantly be opened up to you. You could replace every 15-year-old fasionista here tonight with a 40-year-old 'seen it all before' journalist and you'd still feel the same inside. It's impossible not to when you're surrounded by songs of this calibre and artists of such magnetic personality.
As the Mystery Jets take the stage, the communal cries of 'Zoo time! Zoo time!' chorus out across the venue, and there's a brace in the air as everyone realises this is the last time they'll be able to see the band in these surroundings.
Every song is met with a roar and the PA is drowned out with the arms-in-the-air festival-like singing of every last person in the room. Mystery Jets could have played a crowd-only karaoke set this evening and it still would have raised the hairs on the back of my neck. I felt like I was part of something without even realising it and on the bus back to reality (aka North London) I contemplated the minds of each and every person in the room. All I could muster was a smile and a warm sense inside that every time an event like this occurs, there are at least a few people who get their first taste of real faith in music, as well as numerous folk who have it re-instilled.
Call it a scene, call it whatever the fuck you want, but you can't ignore a beautiful uprising and you certainly can't ignore a brilliant song.

Olympic Games 2012 Report
London lived up to the expectation and saw a well organized event, but above all fierce competition with 16 countries getting medals in Canoe Sprint.
As Nelo we were in our 3rd Games as Official Suppliers and once more we were committed into doing the best possible service, and making the athletes life as easy as possible. By having 75% of the boats competing we really felt there was no time for mistakes and got our "A Team" 4 weeks before the event reviewing and checking over 150 boats.
Dealing with the best paddlers in the World is our passion, we had only one member of our staff that has not been a competitive paddler himself, but even him shares the same passion. We care about their boats, their parts, and even created a small waiting lounge for them to relax while waiting for their equipment to be fine tuned.
Our commitment could not have been better compensated, by seeing those amazing paddlers trusting our work and focusing on their mission of doing in London the race of their lives, unfortunately not all achieved that, and there was joy but also disappointment, but from all we felt the recognition and care.
Result wise, the cold facts turned out to be an average of 6 boats in every final (8 boats total) and 25 medals in 36 possible meaning 70% of the medals! A number never achieved before by any boat builder.
We could not be more proud of our work, but in the end it is all about the paddlers their work and their effort day in day out, we are just happy to be a part of it.
To name the winners and every 25 medals would be a long boring duplication of all what canoeing fans have seen during last week, but once more we reinforce some of the facts:
1. 10 out of 12 medals in K1
2. Full final in K1 and K2 200 Men
3. Full podium in the K4 Men
4. Full podium in both 1000 and 200 K1 Men
5.First ever medal for Portuguese Canoeing (K2 1000 Silver) in Olympic Games, first ever Medal for South Africa Canoeing (K1 W 500) in Olympic Games
6. 8 of 9 Kayak Gold medals
8. David Cal became the best Spanish Olympian of all times collecting is 5th medal. (C1 1000)
Check canoeicf.com for full results and videos of all these regattas.
The numbers are inspiring and from sunday we have started working for Rio 2016, improving where we can and reinforcing our strengths!
Special note also to our first gold in Slalom that spiced things up for us in that new challenge of being a reference in the Canoe Slalom as well as in the Canoe Sprint.
Now time to relax and welcome in Portugal the best Surf Ski paddlers in the World for the Nelo Summer Challenge 2012, while at the same time we will have the Meeting of Champions with many of the Canoe Sprint paddlers that helped us in the last few years coming over to Portugal to celebrate our successes!

The Wii's phenomenal success with its intuitive control system has given traditional game developers a brand new avenue of gaming to explore. With gamer movement and interaction required in earnest, as opposed to a few button prods, a much wider variety of potential experiences have been conjured up. Even in traditionally rigidly structured genres.
EA's Grand Slam Tennis takes the basis of Wii Sports Tennis and takes things up a few levels. Combined with the freshly released Wii Motion Plus peripheral, which promises to offer much more accurate representations of your Wii Remote swings and thrusts, it aims to pave the way forward for sporting related titles.
Grand Slam Tennis doesn't, however, aim for true one-to-one movement representation - something which is promised in the current adverts populating the airwaves. Instead it takes into account your Remote swinging speeds and the manner in which you hold the Remote in order to make your chosen tennis playing character strike the ball in the way you desire. Just remember that the front part of the Remote - the one packing the buttons - is considered the face of the racket.
It does, essentially, work. At first you'll be swaying around in a similar manner to Wii Sports, and viewing the same old quite unpredictable results seen in the aforementioned Wii bundle title. But a little time proves that shot manipulation becomes intuitive and impressively accurate.
Shots do aim towards the spot you're urging the ball to drop, and the game does a good job of reigning you in a touch. With true representation, the majority of us would barely manage a single shot per match landing within the lines of the court, so the game does its best to give a much needed helping hand. Plus, lobs and drop shots are made with a racquet swing combined with a button press, so all isn't that realistic in terms of play.
What is a fantastic addition is the inclusion of Nunchuk control. Now you can utilise that sizey analogue nub on the Nunchuk to force your player to rush about the court. It sounds such a tiny little simple change to Wii Sports Tennis, but it adds such an incredible amount to proceedings. It does, however, take a lot of time to get used to. It'll take your mind quite a while to realise that the analogue stick is used solely to move your character and not aim your shot too.
Sadly it's not all peaches and cream. Just like any other new control method, the Wii Motion Plus can be a temperamental beast. It may happen only once or twice per dozen matches, but those moments where your player suddenly refuses to swing, despite the incredible arc of brilliance you've just created in your living room, is more than enough to cause a Wii Remote shaped hole in the wall. And when the racquet connects with ball, there still are a few instances of the ball veering off in completely the wrong direction. Again it's a rare occurrence, but one that flatly brings you right back to earth.
Visually, the Wii's power constraints have been overcome by utilising stylised representations of some your tennis favourites. Bold clear lines, and colourful backdrops make for a visually appealing title. It's not quite a Wii best by any stretch of the imagination, but it performs its job admirably and attractively.
Single player-wise the game again does a fair old job. Taking you through various friendly match-ups before hitting the major circuit, you earn new skills and abilities from stronger serves, to more attempt-worthy lobs. Sadly the large portion of unlocks as you play through are yet more blandly coloured clothes to layer upon your created tennis sensation. Sadly a form of gaming victory that's a long way behind what we truly desire.
Multiplayer-wise things take an upswing. Up to four gamers can play on one screen, as expected. And although it lacks the immediate fun to even the newest of gamers that Wii Sports Tennis packs, it's still a riot when you've got to grips with the control system. And for those of you lacking the friends/money required for all those Remotes and Nunchuks, the online mode is sturdy enough to while away more than a few evenings.
As far as modern tennis titles go, Grand Slam Tennis has all the facets you could desire. It looks good, it's great fun with friends, and it plays a decent representation of the racquet-based sport.
It's a shame that a few control based inconsistencies, and a sub par single player career mode leave things a little less enthralling than we'd hoped for.

WAKEFIELD — Thursday morning Wakefield police arrested a man who allegedly stole a truck in Ossipee, with approximately $40,000 of equipment attached, following a pursuit near the town line.
Thomas Sweeney, 24, of Middleton, was arrested and charged with two counts of receiving stolen property, both felony level charges, and two counts of disobeying a police officer, which are both Class A Misdemeanors.
Sweeney is currently being held at Carroll County House of Corrections on $10,000 cash bail.
Wakefield Police Lt. Mark O'Brien said the Ossipee Police Department notified officials Thursday morning to be on the lookout for reports of a stolen white Dodge pick-up truck trailing six log splitters in an attached vehicle. The truck was reported stolen by its owner from the McDonald's restaurant in West Ossipee.
Wakefield police then spotted the truck in their town at about 9:45 a.m., traveling south on Route 16.
O'Brien said a police officer attempted to pull Sweeney over but he continued driving. After what O'Brien described as a short and low-speed pursuit, over about a half mile, Sweeney was arrested and charged.
O'Brien noted both Ossipee and Wakefield continue to investigate the incident and while he does not see further charges coming out of Wakefield, he suspects Ossipee will charge Sweeney with theft for taking the truck.
"It's somebody's livelihood, so the victim's relieved obviously, that we got stuff back," O'Brien said. "I think it was just an opportunity…We're investigating with Ossipee, and they may have more charges."
O'Brien added he believed the owner of the truck left a spare key in the truck, while it was parked at McDonald's, which Sweeney allegedly found while going through the vehicle.
No damage was reported to the vehicle or its valuable equipment.
Wakefield and Ossipee police were assisted by the Carroll County Sheriff's Department.
Those with further information on the incident are urged to contact the Wakefield Police Department at 522-3232 or Carroll County Dispatch at 539-2284.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) Will Bynum had 25 points and 10 assists, leading another spirited performance by the Detroit bench, and the Pistons beat the short-handed Miami Heat 109-99 on Friday night despite 35 points by LeBron James.
Miami was without Dwyane Wade, suspended for a game by the NBA for flailing his leg and making contact with a Charlotte player Wednesday.
The Detroit reserves, who scored 85 points in a loss to Atlanta on Wednesday, contributed 64 on Friday. Charlie Villanueva had 18 and Austin Daye added 11, helping the Pistons snap Miami's six-game winning streak.
The Heat scored the game's first 10 points and led by 15 after one quarter, but the momentum shifted for good when the Pistons outscored Miami 41-20 in the second.
Chris Bosh had 28 points for Miami.

Seahawks fans direct their anger toward the wrong Cris Carter on Twitter
Social media has the power to connect many people, but that's not always a good thing when it connects the wrong people.
ESPN analyst Cris Carter called the Seahawks receivers an "appetizer" prior to their Super Bowl win.
Fans were more than ready to avenge the statement on Monday after Seattle defeated Denver, 43-8, to win Super Bowl XLVIII.
Unfortunately for Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Chris Carter, some of those fans can't spell.
Hey guys wrong Chris Carter. Please feel free to direct the rest of your Seattle Seahawks beef to @criscarter80
— chris carter (@ccarter43) February 3, 2014
Here's a sampling of some of the tweets that were directed to the wrong Carter.

Most locomotive portrait artists were consummate professionals who didn't allow things like light poles--or old ladies--to obscure their subject. Whoever took this photo wasn't on his game apparently. The old lady--a rather comical figure, is she not?--is probably the photographers wife, but I like to think she's lost and wandering around the Cincinnati Union Terminal service area looking for the ticket window. The locomotive, for those who care, is C&O Pacific type #492. Photo dated July, 1937.
