When the Finance Minister stands up in the Commons and says he likes the idea of voluntary contributions to the Canada Pension Plan but can't offer a framework or even a single number, you're seeing politics, not policy.
Polling will tell Joe Oliver, the MP for Eglinton-Lawrence, that many Canadians are nervous about their retirement. Few have decent pensions and many want a better CPP. They trust the plan and see it as well-managed. But people don't always understand how the CPP works and when you put 'voluntary' and 'expansion' in the same sentence as 'CPP', many Canadians will see one thing when it actually means another.
It's not as simple as paying more and getting a bigger monthly cheque when you retire.
This change of heart is all the more surprising, since the Conservatives have been in power for nine years and have opposed CPP expansion. What they're actually promising is consultation, which can mean anything and come to nothing. Pension reform will surely not be seriously discussed between now and Election Day in November. Changes to national pension plans are hammered out calmly and carefully by actuaries and finance officials. They take a lot of time to figure out, since a small mistake has such a big impact.
This seems more an attempt to head off what the Conservatives see coming from the Liberal and NDP platforms.
This is not a CPP expansion: Oliver is proposing a supplementary plan that might use the CPP's machinery. The CPP is a defined benefit plan, which means we pay into it while we work and based on how long we work, we get a monthly payment for life when we retire. In 2015, the maximum at age 65 is $1,065 a month.
The CPP works because it is not voluntary. We are forced to be contribute which means a big pool of money. It also means that the people running the fund have a good handle on what's coming in, how many people they'll have to pay and what return they'll need to do that.
What Oliver is proposing is quite different. It's a defined contribution supplementary plan. You don't get a guaranteed amount at the end of the day. You get what you put in, plus whatever return the CPP Investment Board makes by investing it. The payment would either vary with market conditions, or you could get a lump sum on retirement which you would have to invest.
It would have a CPP advantage: Small investors can't hope to match the performance of big pension funds. One reason is that we have relatively short investing lifespans and so are more affected by ups and downs. Big pensions live forever and so they can worry less about today's blip. They are also run by pros, which most of us are not. Their size means they can force fees down.
Fees hurt more than ever in a world where GICs are losing money after inflation, where rates are as low as they have ever been and average stock market returns are falling. Here's an example I used last week of a 2 per cent fee.
A $10,000 investment earning 5 per cent a year, over 10 years, will be worth $16,289. The same amount earning 3 per cent, would be worth $13,439. The difference is $2,850.
Middle income earners would benefit: Canadians with incomes between $30,000 and $50,000 are the ones who would benefit most from such a scheme, says Fred Vettese, chief actuary at Toronto benefits consultant Morneau Shepell. Between their CPP and Old Age Security (OAS) payments they don't have to save a lot, but they still need something.
Money managers won't help them because they don't make enough or have enough assets to be worth the time. They may not be comfortable making their own investment decisions and are not sure who to trust. They would trust the CPP brand.
It would also be attractive for the rest of us for the same reasons and likely divert RRSP contributions. A fund that offers lower fees than mutual funds, offers a trusted manager and is simple, has a broad appeal.
The 2015 maximum is $1,065 a month, if you start at 65.
Only 6 per cent of Canadians get the maximum.
The average is $537 a month.
CPP pensions are reduced by 35 per cent if you start at 60 rather than 65.
On average, men get a third more than women.
The maximum contribution this year is $2,480 matched by your employer.


It's a continuum really, isn't it? On one end is joy, which is associated with happiness, calm, fun, smiles, peace, confidence, enthusiasm, lack of stress, breaths of fresh air, and lightness. On the other end is despondency, whose henchmen are fear, stress, worry, darkness, fights, drama, frowns, terror, self-doubt, heaviness, and choking.
Where on that scale do you choose to live?
Choose, you ask? Choose? We get to choose?
At last week's Bowl Championship Series finale in Santa Clara, California, underdog Clemson made fools of the odds-makers and stunned perennial powerhouse Alabama 44–16 in a rout. What happened?
The difference in coaching styles couldn't be more pronounced than that between Swinney and Alabama legend Nick Saban. Saban, all business and the producer of five national championships in his coaching career, is all about process: Do the process and the result will take care of itself. With his success, Alabama has found the key to recruiting some of the finest talent in the country. Why? Because a starting position on a Nick Saban Alabama team is a ticket to the NFL. Players commit themselves to Saban's processes until they can execute in their sleep. With that in place, Saban can replace players with second- and third-string substitutes and not lose performance.
Swinney, on the other hand, has coached an organization that is noticeably "non-Alabama." Sure, they have plays and drills and sequences they run that could be described as a "process," but "family" is Swinney's byword. He truly loves his men. Their lives after football are more important than the score of a game or the record at the end of the season.
It's difficult to argue with love and "I've taught you all I know," "I've got your back," and "I will forgive any error you make" sentiments. Hearing such messages can certainly unburden someone about to go into combat.
But I think Swinney's "play with joy" tops the list. Two-hundred-seventy-five-pound behemoths crashing into each other. Saban leads with a "process" in mind, clearly trying to make a statement before the NFL draft… while Swinney encourages his team to "play with joy." It's almost comical to perceive.
Let's look at the outcome.
Remember late August 2011 when the St. Louis Cardinals were 10½ games out of the playoffs? Error prone, batting in the basement, they were no fun to watch.
The rest of that story is legendary St. Louis Cardinals history. They backed into the wildcard game sitting in the locker room praying for Atlanta to lose… and Atlanta did. They played baseball like a bunch of kids with nothing to lose right and won the 2011 World Series, including the famous "game six" where the team was down to its last strike (and a series loss in six games) to the Texas Rangers three times. And three times they came back.
My question stands: Where along the continuum between joy and despondency do you choose to live? Is that a choice (like the Clemson men running out on the BCS Championship field or the Cardinals playing the game they love)? Or is it a learned knower/judger reaction. You can choose. It's been done before.

Allo Darlin'
Allo Darlin' are many things. They can turn a room in a famous punk venue into a joyous, jumping, sweaty, pop-mosh pit. Or bring a room of 500 to hushed silence with the few strums of a ukulele and a love song about cooking. They're close friends that found each other and the music they make in London. Elizabeth Morris and Bill Botting are from Australia, Mikey Collins and Paul Rains are from Kent. They've only been playing seriously as a band since January 2009, although Elizabeth has been releasing music under various guises since 2007.
In that time, they've been signed to one of the great indie labels, played sold-out shows in Germany and Sweden, wowed the crowds at the Indietracks and Swn festivals, toured the UK and recorded an album. They've received airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 music and XFM, and had glowing reviews in places such as the Metro, The Fly and The Guardian, the latter calling their Henry Rollins Don't Dance single on WeePOP! Records "the best indiepop song for years".
Their first single for Fortuna Pop!, The Polaroid Song, was released in December 2009. That song made it into the Drowned in Sound Top 50 Singles of the Year, and garnered them further great reviews. "I'm sort of scared at how brilliant Allo Darlin' are, and could be. Disarming and self-effacing they might be, but when they smack you square on the nose with a pop song so instantly loveable as The Polaroid Song it makes my jaw drop in awe." (A Layer of Chips blog)
Their debut album Allo Darlin' was released in June 2010, and another single Dreaming was preceded this in March. The album was recorded at Soup with producer Simon Trought, underneath the Duke of Uke shop in Brick Lane.
The band amicably disbanded in 2016.

Sushma meets new Asean Secretary General
Jakarta, Jan 6 (IANS) Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Saturday met new Asean Secretary General Lim Jock Hoi here ahead of the Fifth Round Table of Asean-India Network of Think Tanks.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in tweet that in "taking Asean-India relationship in the commemorative year", Sushma Swaraj met Lim, with Indonesian Foreign Minster Retno Marsudi also in attendance.
The meeting comes amid India's increasing engagements with the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) bloc under New Delhi's Act East Policy.
New Delhi will host a commemorative summit on January 25 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Dialogue Partnership between India and the Asean in which all the leaders of the Asean nations are expected to participate.
Lim, a seasoned diplomat from Brunei, took over as the Secretary General of Asean in January after the five-year term of Le Luong Minh of Vietnam ended in 2017.
Lim was named for the post in the Asean Summit in the Philippines in November 2017. The Asean Seretary General is appointed for a non-renewable term of five years, selected from among the Asean member states based on alphabetical rotation.
The Asean comprises of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Sushma Swaraj arrived here from Thailand on Friday on the second leg of her three-nation tour of Southeast Asia that will also see her visiting Singapore.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL LEAGUE
The US Youth Soccer National League operates as the highest level of competition in the US Youth Soccer Leagues Program and is for the nation's top teams in the 14U, 15U, 16U, 17U, 18U and 19U boys and girls age groups. The 14U through 18U divisions consist of up to 32 teams per gender age group, while the 19U age group features up to 16 teams for each gender. The National League offers additional exposure to collegiate, professional and U.S. National Team coaches and offers the highest level of competition in the country as each team must earn their place in the league.
The top teams from each division advance to the US Youth Soccer National Championships, the oldest and most prestigious youth soccer national championship in the country. The four National League representatives will join the four Regional Champions in the 14U through 19U age groups to play for the National Championship. The top teams in each 14U through 18U division also secure a spot to return to National League play the following season.
The National League's alumni have gone on to prove themselves at the collegiate and professional levels, with former players competing in NCAA Division I, II and III, Major League Soccer, National Women's Soccer League, the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Women's World Cup.
There are three means to earning automatic qualification into the National League:
Regional Championship winners (or representatives to Nationals) from the previous season
Returning National League division top finishers from the previous season
Conference qualifiers from the previous season
Any unfilled slots become open and are filled through an application process.

Indigo On-Farm Storage enables growers to store and monitor harvested grain grown through Indigo ProductionTM or Indigo Certified Crops.
Click the links below to learn more about Indigo Production and Indigo Certified Crops.
Indigo finances Grain Bag Loader at 0% interest.
The grain is bagged at harvest and stored on-farm for 3-11 months.
Growers receive a per bushel incentive each month to monitor and maintain grain bags.
Indigo can assist with bag unloading for a per bushel fee.
Our CEO and President, David Perry, reflects on the benefits and goals of our On-Farm Storage program.
The cost of fertilizer, chemicals, seed, and equipment has increased. So now we're having to be more innovative in how we handle our grain. We need to figure out a way to sell something besides a commodity. When I dump wheat at the elevator, I have no control. When I keep it in bins, I can go look for a more competitive market.

Reverb-laden Dream Pop Fills The Catalyst
Zachary Cole Smith's stage presence is interesting, though admittedly unassuming. Dressed in black, head to toe, Smith's small frame was engulfed in a linen shirt stretching down to his knees and oversized black pants. This is typical for the DIIV (pronounced dive) front man and he stayed true to form during his show last Wednesday night inside The Catalyst's Atrium.

Q: How to get git flow completions for zsh working? I have git and git-flow installed via Homebrew. I am on a Mac.
I have zsh 5.0.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin12.4.0)
git completions are working. git-flow completions are not.
I cannot get git flow completions to work.
I've tried two ways to install the functions.
Method 1
I installed git-flow using Homebrew, which added the functions to this directory /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions
That path is in my $fpath
> echo $fpath
/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions /usr/local/Cellar/zsh/5.0.2/share/zsh/functions

Method 2
I downloaded the git-flow completion functions from https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions and put the file in ~/.zsh/completions.
I then added the directory to my ~/.zshrc
fpath=(~/.zsh/completions $fpath)

> echo $fpath
/Users/jord/.zsh/completions /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions /usr/local/Cellar/zsh/5.0.2/share/zsh/functions

Neither of these methods works.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE
The output of git-flow [CTRL+X] [h] is:
> git flow
tags in context :completion::complete:git::
    all-files  (_files _default _git (eval))

UPDATE 2
It's working!
I put the _git functions from the URL provided by @mpy in ~/.zsh/completions/ and added ~/.zsh/completions to my $fpath in ~/.zshrc.
fpath=(
  ~/.zsh/completions
  $fpath
)

I then downloaded git-flow-completion.zsh from https://github.com/bobthecow/git-flow-completion and put it into ~/.zsh/completions and sourced that file from my .zshrc.
git and git flow completions are now working, but I have no idea why?!

A: I thought you could try this:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commit/f710a1395f44224e4bcc3518ee9c13a0dc850be1#r30789420
You are running macOS ?
The autocompletions come with Homebrew git were conflict with the git-flow autocompletions script.
Try to remove the zsh folder in /usr/local/Cellar/git/x.xx.x/share/ and reload your zsh.
References:
1. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commit/f710a1395f44224e4bcc3518ee9c13a0dc850be1
2. https://github.com/bobthecow/git-flow-completion/issues/50
3. https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/issues/1717

A: The file $fpath/_git-flow provides completion for git-flow (with dash), see its first line:
#compdef git-flow

So, using git-flow [CTRL+X] [h] I get
$ git-flow [CTRL+X] [h]
tags in context :completion::complete:git-flow::
    argument-1  (_arguments _git-flow)
tags in context :completion::complete:git-flow:argument-1:
    commands  (_describe _git-flow)

showing that zsh detects that the prompt is now at the first argument to git-flow.
The completion function for git is very powerful (and to be honest, I cannot ,,read'' it through), so also git flow (w/o dash) provides the git-flow completion, but the context is different:
$ git flow [CTRL+X] [h]
tags in context :completion::complete:git::
    argument-rest  (_arguments _git)
tags in context :completion::complete:git-flow::
    argument-1  (_arguments _git-flow _call_function _git)
tags in context :completion::complete:git-flow:argument-1:
    commands  (_describe _git-flow _call_function _git)

If using a non existent git module, I end up with
$ git foo [CTRL+X] [h]
tags in context :completion::complete:git::
    argument-rest  (_arguments _git)
tags in context :completion::complete:git-foo::
    directories    (_files _git)
    globbed-files  (_files _git)
    all-files      (_files _git)

which looks closest to your result.
Therefore my suggestions would be:

*

*check your _git-flow completions file isn't corrupted and has the right line endings (EOL)

*trigger completion for git-flow with e.g. git-flow [CTRL+X] [h] and have a look at the output of which _git-flow:

*

*if the completion function cannot be read this results in
$ which _git-flow
_git-flow () {
        # undefined
        builtin autoload -XUz
}

*if read correctly you get the function printed:
$ which _git-flow
_git-flow () {
    local curcontext="$curcontext" state line
    typeset -A opt_args
    _arguments -C ':command:->command' '*::options:->options'
    ...

*try to compile the _git-flow function file with zcompile _git-flow to see if there will be an error. (Then the resulting file _git-flow.zwc should be read upon autoloading.)

*examine ~/.zcompdump if the _git-flow completion is listed.

Tapehead no 33
Sex Addiction is all the rage these days, and no wonder. Where better to meet dozens of horny men or women than a Sex Addicts therapy session ?
Fine Cut: I Am A Sex Addict illustrates how sex addiction can lead to devastating debilities for S&M, pornography and violence, and the sort of massive self-loathing that causes one addict to describe herself as "a hopeless romantic in a vibrator life."
"What sex addicts have in common," Fine Cut states, "is their compulsion and the fact that they are people, just like you and me."
It looks as if you and me have lot of problems then.
One addict, a scary exhibitionist, wistfully remembers his first erection and recalls the time a couple from Gravesend tied wax and gauze around his dick. With blushing sentimentality, a couple of hippy swingers/addicts display their cum towel, a six-year souvenir of their outdoor encounters, which she has kept, "in case we might want to frame it, or put it on the wall".
A hardcore S&M addict helpfully explains the variations in his collection of whips and handcuffs, and reminiscences about putting fluorescent cayenne pepper in a girl's welts so they would glow in the dark. Happy times to be sure.
Quirky voyeurism is all very well of course (Tapehead likes nothing better), but Fine Cut veers uncomfortably towards crass exploitation for Lori, an obese nymphomaniac, a porn star renowned for being generously well-disposed toward gang-bangs (as many as 33 times in one go).
"No one's interested in Lori," she claims, so her alter ego, Layla (the lay of LA) stars in flicks like Hard and Lard in which, she says, she is renowned for her jiggle-osity.
Lori/Layla's lewd version of Rescue Me is probably the most disturbing, pathetic sight of the week as she belts out: "Gang-bang me/Take me in your arms/Gang-bang me/I want your throbbing charms…"etc.
Seriously demoralising.
Sex addict and freak-lover, Pedro Almodovar, would feel for her. The Indiscreet Charm Of Pedro Almodovar, a Late Show special, looks at his fantastic passion, brilliant women and outrageous humour, and includes the surprising sight of John Waters being superbly upstaged by Almodovar's mother.
Well worth taping, if only to count Almodovar's costume changes – some of them seemingly in mid-sentence. The most extraordinary moment is Pedro stepping out of a limo with what can only be described as a hairdo even Kevin Keegan would baulk at.
"I felt like ET in the village I grew up in," he remembers, and no wonder with that hair.
The Indiscreet Charm Of Pedro Almodovar also features undoubtedly the best clip of a transvestite and a knitting teacher enjoying a golden shower that you'll see on TV this week.
More sex and madness in Jeremy Issacs's Face To Face interview with Jeanette Winterson, who concedes (um, reluctantly) her books are "a play on form", "challenging a genre", "like Virginia Woolf", even "a rod, a staff for her readers," and "a guiding light."
Isaacs praises the novel, experimental diversity of Winterson's language and asks gravely where she finds these words.
"In the dictionary," Winterson elucidates.
Contrary to recent opinion, it is not true that Winterson is incapable of modesty. She admits parts of Oranges are badly written -"in the same way as, say. A book like Wuthering Heights."
"My childhood was happy. I was a happy child," she says at one point, bringing to mind a similar master of the language, revered for his plays on form.
"It is a fiction. I am a fiction writer," she explains, an obvious allusion to that great writer/philosopher, Chris Eubank and his (profound) statement, "I box because I am a boxer. I am a boxer because it is boxing."
A true insight into one of literature's most important influences.

Assassination Tango
Made in: USA, Argentina
Language: English, Spanish
Director: Robert Duvall
Starring: Robert Duvall, Rubén Blades, Luciana Pedraza, Kathy Baker, Katherine Micheaux Miller
Synopsis: Aging hitman John Anderson (Robert Duvall) wants to retire and spend the rest of his life in Brooklyn with his wife Maggie (Kathy Baker) and young step-daughter Jenny (Katherine Micheaux Miller).
However, he reluctantly accepts one last job that takes him to Buenos Aires, Argentina. While there, he meets his contact Miguel (Rubén Blades), and two bald guys who give him the murky details about the hit job.
But then John stumbles upon an Argentine tango performance by Manuela (Luciana Pedraza - Duvall's real-life spouse) at a club. Enchanted by the beautiful Manuela, John befriends her and learns the way of the tango as a way to pass the time before killing someone.
The Good: The dance sequences.
The Bad: The scenes in between the dance sequences.
And this is really too bad, because the Academy Award-winning Robert Duvall is usually a lot of fun to watch (A Civil Action, Thank you for Smoking, The Godfather).
But in in this movie, he (and just about everyone else) comes across as too self-conscious and two-dimensional. Duvall's character, who never seems to be paying full attention to the other ones in the story, tries way too hard to come across as a New York wise guy.
As a result, he creates a protagonist who's not very witty, charming, funny, or very interesting. The "assassination" portion of Assassination Tango isn't all that compelling, because it mostly involves Duvall waiting around and talking to himself. Sometimes he does it in his underwear too, for variation.
However, the "tango" part of the movie has its own share of problems too, in that it's completely out of place with everything else going on. It never becomes essential to the central plot. Instead, it exists in a cinematic vacuum and never gets sufficiently explored.
Although Duvall is a good tango dancer in real life, it wouldn't be believable within the context of the story to see his character become an expert dancer in just a few days. As a teacher of this dance, I personally know that it takes years to become proficient.
So we only get to see Duvall dance during short dream or fantasy sequences. But beyond that, he's only watching tango or just listening to tango music (sometimes in his underwear, for variation).
Who would like this movie: This movie was meant for those who are intrigued by hitman plots and stuff about the meaning of life. But you won't find much of that in this film, unfortunately.
Although the premise of Assassination Tango is interesting and the elements for a good film are all there, I hate to say that the film is ultimately disappointing. The hitman aspect is too flimsy, and we don't see nearly enough of the tango stuff. The best part of the film is the dance sequence during the end credits (see video below).
The best scene: Pablo Verón and Geraldine Rojas dancing to the song Una Emocion

Q: Can I move rows between partitions by updating the partition key? I would think that this would be a fairly simply question, but I've actually had a difficult time finding an answer for this.
The question:
Can you move rows of data within a partitioned table from one partition to another by simply updating the partition column so that it crosses the partition boundary?
For example, if I have a table that has a partition key:
CREATE TABLE SampleTable
(
    SampleID INT PRIMARY KEY,
    SampleResults VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
)

With the partition function that maps to the primary key:
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION MyPartitionFunc (INT) AS
RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (10000, 20000);

Can I move a row from the first partition to the third partition by changing the SampleID from 1 to (say) 500,000?
Note: I'm tagging this as both sql server 2005 and 2008, since they both support partitioning.  Do they handle it differently?

A: I do not have a 2005 server to test with. 2008 however, appears to handle this as expected:
USE [Test]
GO
CREATE TABLE [IDRanges](
    [ID] [int] NOT NULL
)
GO

CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION IDRange1 (int)
AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (10) ;
GO
--Add one record to each partition
INSERT INTO IDRanges ([ID]) VALUES (17)
INSERT INTO IDRanges ([ID]) VALUES (7)
GO
--Verify records in partition
SELECT $PARTITION.IDRange1([ID]) AS Partition, COUNT(*) AS [COUNT]
FROM IDRanges
GROUP BY $PARTITION.IDRange1([ID])
ORDER BY Partition ;
GO
--Move row between partitions
UPDATE IDRanges
SET [ID] = 8 WHERE [ID] = 17
GO
--Verify records in partition
SELECT $PARTITION.IDRange1([ID]) AS Partition, COUNT(*) AS [COUNT]
FROM IDRanges
GROUP BY $PARTITION.IDRange1([ID])
ORDER BY Partition ;

You should see one record in each partition before the update, and both records in the first partition afterwards.

A: To test this, the experiment actually needs to partition the table.  See http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-partition-table-non-partitioned-table-sql-server-2008.aspx
Querying the partitioning function just tells you what the partitioning function says.  It doesn't say where the data is stored.  You can set up a partitioning function and run it without actually partitioning a table, as has been demonstrated here already.
In order to partition the table, you also have to create file groups and a partitioning scheme that uses the partitioning function to assign function results to file groups.  Then you have to put a clustered key on the table that uses that partitioning scheme.
Set up the partitioning
I'm no expert in command line SQL.  I used SSMS interface to set up file groups pfg1 (with a pf1 file) and pfg2 (with a pf2 file).  Then I declared the partitioning function and scheme:
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION IDRange1 (int)
AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (10) ;
GO

CREATE PARTITION SCHEME ps_IDRange1
AS PARTITION IDRange1
TO (pfg1, pfg2)
GO

Create the table and clustered index
CREATE TABLE [IDRanges](
    [ID] [int] NOT NULL
)
GO

CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX PK_IDRanges
ON dbo.IDRanges(id) ON ps_IDRange1 (ID)
GO

After you do this, when you query sys.partitions (I have 2005), you see that the table now has two partitions instead of just one for the table.  This indicates that we have fully implemented partitioning for this table.
select * from sys.partitions where object_id = object_id('IDRanges')

partition_id         object_id   index_id    partition_number hobt_id              rows
-------------------- ----------- ----------- ---------------- -------------------- --------------------
72057597780295680    770674389   1           1                72057597780295680    0
72057597780361216    770674389   1           2                72057597780361216    0

Now that we have two partitions (with a row count for each), we can conduct an experiment.
Insert the rows
INSERT INTO IDRanges ([ID]) VALUES (17)
INSERT INTO IDRanges ([ID]) VALUES (7)

Check the sys.partitions to see what happened.
select * from sys.partitions where object_id = object_id('IDRanges')

partition_id         object_id   index_id    partition_number hobt_id              rows
-------------------- ----------- ----------- ---------------- -------------------- --------------------
72057597780295680    770674389   1           1                72057597780295680    1
72057597780361216    770674389   1           2                72057597780361216    1

Yep.  One row in each partition.
Move a row.
UPDATE IDRanges
SET [ID] = 8 WHERE [ID] = 17

Check the partitions
select * from sys.partitions where object_id = object_id('IDRanges')

partition_id         object_id   index_id    partition_number hobt_id              rows
-------------------- ----------- ----------- ---------------- -------------------- --------------------
72057597780295680    770674389   1           1                72057597780295680    2
72057597780361216    770674389   1           2                72057597780361216    0

The first partition now has two rows instead of 1, and the second partition has zero rows instead of two.
I think this confirms that the row was automatically moved as a result of modifying the clustered key in a partitioned table.

A: Old post but very helpful!!
I proved it does move in SQL Server 2017 by truncating partition 2 after the update and the record is still there in partition 1
TRUNCATE TABLE IDRanges WITH (PARTITIONS(2))

select * from sys.partitions where object_id = object_id('IDRanges')

partition_id object_id index_id partition_number hobt_id     rows
------------ --------- -------- ---------------- ----------- ----
7.20576E+16  34099162  1        1                7.20576E+16 2
7.20576E+16  34099162  1        2                7.20576E+16 0

A: I don't think that answer is correct. When you use the value
 $PARTITION.IDRange1([ID]) AS Partition

you are simply recalculating what the partition should be, not where the record currently is.
You should use:
select * from sys.partitions where object_id = object_id('IDRanges')

In my tests on sql 2005 the value changes but the record stays in the same partition. This will probably mess with stats and the optimizer as it will run in a multi threaded mode expecting a partition to be in a specific range. It will also be completely wrong when it tries to use partition elimination to only query the relevant partition. I think you need to delete and re-insert each record to get them to move.


Sixth Annual "Art Along the Creek"
More than 200 works of art will be on display from nearly 100 members of Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment - SCAPE - and for sale during the three-day ART ALONG THE CREEK this Memorial Day Weekend. Complemented by live music from a variety of small bands on a private estate in Santa Barbara nestled in the woods, among the sycamores along Mission Creek, it's only a block away from the majestic Santa Barbara Mission and the seminal "I Madonnari" Italian Street Painting Festival that takes place the same weekend. This is the 6th annual juried art show for the group known primarily for top quality plein air landscapes, but this wide-ranging show includes portraits and figurative art, still life and florals, alongside contemporary, surreal, and abstract art as well. 40% of each purchase is tax deductible as it goes to the creek restoration project of Phoenix House, a non-profit, residential mental health treatment agency.
Art Along the Creek is a free, dog-friendly festival and opens on Saturday, May 25 from 2 – 6 pm, Sunday 5.26 & Monday 5.27 show hours are 11 am to 6 pm. Located at 37 Mountain Drive, this is one of two locations for Phoenix in Santa Barbara. For information call Phoenix at (805) 965.3434 or log on http://www.s-c-a-p-e.org/.


Anfi beach is a strange blend of cheap and expensive; The beach is free and the sun loungers and beds are reasonable (Most shops and services are priced for the resort's timeshare guests (who have already proved that they don't mind paying top dollar for things), but some are great value.
If you want to visit Anfi beach but don't want to spend money like a timeshare resort guest, here's how to do it.
The supermarket, the restaurants and the water sports are all priced high for the resorts timeshare guests, but the takeaway food spot at the west end of the sand is excellent value. Where else can you get a huge slice of (great) pizza, a drink and a portion of chips for 5.50? Compared to €2.25 for a coffee in the beachfront café, it's pretty good value.
The Spar supermarket at Anfi seems to have higher prices than other local supermarkets in south Gran Canaria, but opens all day long and is even air-conditioned.
The posh Maroa Club de Mar on Anfi's heart-shaped island has plenty of chill out sofas but no pool so it's put in steps and a roped-off swimming area at the far side of the island. It's just next to the ferry dock and is a great place for a refreshing swim if Anfi beach is crowded or the water is too warm for your taste.
The coast pathway that links Anfi beach to Arguineguín is showing its age but is due a multi-million euro revamp. You can walk from Anfi beach all the way past Patalavaca and into Arguineguín town. Restaurant prices here are far more reasonable than at Anfi beach and you get a local atmosphere. For the ultimate in local flavour, walk past Las Marañuelas beach and into the fishing port, then eat at the Cofradia de Pescadores restaurant. It's run by the fisherman's guild so it gets the freshest fish in town.

I need to program a client for a web service running outside jboss 4.03sp1. The client will be a POJO included in a deployed ejb-jar. For performance reasons I think it would be better to use static clients, instead of dynamic ones. However, I'm anaware of any jboss tool that allows the generation of those stubs.
At the same time I am afraid of mixing wsdl2java axis generated code within jboss due to possible classloading issues raised by the overlapping definitions between the axis jars and jboss ones.
Finally, to complicate things even more, my client will need to authenticated itself via certificates for mutual ssl comunications.
Given this messy array of constraints, can anyone provide some advice on the best strategy ? right now I'm very much inclined to dynamic proxies instead of static (and unaware of the real performance penalties...). The security issue cannot be disregarded either. Not even sure whether it is possible to setup that inside jboss. Ultimately, I may have to build an external j2se web service client, triggered from the jboss server via rmi or something, in the way of a proxy. HELP!!!!
