What are referendums and plebiscites?
Constitutional referendums
The Australian Constitution can only be amended with the approval of Australian voters. Therefore, any proposed alteration must be put to the vote at a referendum.
Section 128 of the Constitution provides that any proposed amendment to the Constitution must be passed by an absolute majority in both Houses of the Commonwealth Parliament.
In certain circumstances, a proposed amendment can be submitted to a referendum if it is passed on two separate occasions by only one House of the Parliament.
At the referendum the proposed alteration must be approved by a 'double majority'. That is:
a national majority of voters in the states and territories
a majority of voters in a majority of the states (i.e. at least four out of six states).
Since Federation, only eight out of 44 proposals to amend the Constitution have been approved (see Referendum dates and results).
Voting in referendums is compulsory for enrolled voters. In referendums, voters are required to write either 'yes' or 'no' on the ballot paper in response to each question listed.
Rules governing referendums are included in the Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Act 1984.
Plebiscites
An issue put to the vote which does not affect the Constitution is called a plebiscite. A plebiscite is not defined in the Australian Constitution, the Electoral Act or the Referendum Act. A plebiscite can also be referred to as a simple national vote.
Governments can hold plebiscites to test whether people either support or oppose a proposed action on an issue. The government is not bound by the 'result' of a plebiscite as it is by the result of a Constitutional referendum. Federal, state and territory governments have held plebiscites on various issues.
Under s. 7A of the Electoral Act, the AEC can conduct a plebiscite as a fee-for-service election, with the AEC entering into 'an agreement, on behalf of the Commonwealth, for the supply of goods or services to a person or body'. The rules for a plebiscite or fee-for-service election are normally contained in the terms of the agreement between the AEC and the person funding the election.
Military service plebiscites were held in 1916 and 1917 but, as they were not proposals to amend the Constitution, the provisions of section 128 of the Constitution did not apply. Voters in all federal territories were permitted to vote. Both the military service plebiscites sought a mandate for conscription and were defeated.

Dave Grohl's Guitars and Gear

Summary of Dave Grohl's gear
What guitar does Dave Grohl play?
Dave Grohl plays a 1967 Gibson Trini Lopez – a guitar that he described as the "sound of the Foo Fighters". He used this Gibson on all of Foo Fighters' albums, although of course not necessarily on all of the songs. Also, his current signature model (the blue guitar that Dave plays most often nowadays), the Gibson Dave Grohl Signature DG-335, is based heavily on Dave's original Trini Lopez.

Aside from that guitar, which he almost never uses live but rather keeps safe at his studio, Dave Grohl used a variety of Gibson Les Pauls, Explorers, SGs, and RD Standards. Most notably, he used a tobacco Les Paul Standard to record Foo Fighters' debut album which was released in 1995. But, at some point after that he decided to repaint this guitar, never finished the project, and the guitar is now sitting in storage halfway done.
It's also important to mention that he used a 1970s Gibson RD Standard in tobacco burst extensively on Foo Fighters' second album, The Colour and the Shape. So likely, this guitar ended up on some of the band's biggest songs like "Everlong" and "My Hero".
As far as acoustic guitars, Dave doesn't seem to have such a strict preference as with his electrics. He was seen using a variety of different Taylors, a Martin D-18, and a Gibson Elvis Presley Dove – which seems to be his current main acoustic guitar.

What amp does Dave Grohl use?
Dave Grohl uses a Vox AC30 amp for clean sounds and a Mesa Boogie Rectifier amp for his dirty tones. This isn't his amp rig all the time, but it's the one he's best known for. He occasionally also used Fender Tone Masters as well as Custom Guitar Amplifiers (that's the actual brand name, yes).
What Strings and Picks does Dave use?
For strings, Dave uses the D'Addario EXL115, and for picks, he seems to like the Dunlop .71mm Gator Grips.

List of Guitars, Amps, Effects, and Accessories used by Dave Grohl
Top Chronological
Dave Grohl's Electric Guitars
1967 Gibson Trini Lopez
This is Dave's main guitar with Foo Fighters, the one he used to record most of the band's songs. It was also used as a basis for his current stage guitar, the Gibson Dave Grohl signature model.
Dave with his most prized possession – a 1967 Gibson Trini Lopez
According to Dave, he bought this guitar around 1992, while he was still a member of Nirvana.

Gibson Les Paul (Tobacco Burst)
Dave was seen playing this guitar in the early days of Foo Fighters, including on their first ever gig, played on February 19th, 1995 in downtown Seattle. According to Dave (see quote at the bottom of the page), he used this guitar to record the Foo Fighters' first album, released in 1995.
Foo Fighters' first gig, February 1995.
He was also photographed with the guitar at The Fillmore in San Francisco, California on July 26, 1995, and in 1997 at the Pukkelpop Festival in Hasselt, Belgium. However, since Foo Fighters played a lot of gigs between 95 and 97, it's very likely that Dave used the guitar extensively during that period, as one of his main ones. He probably rotated between a couple of different Les Pauls, SGs, and Explorers.
1990s Gibson Explorer
This was one of Dave's main guitars in the early days and probably the longest-running among them. The first video footage of him using the guitar dates to the Brixton Academy gig played on November 15, 1995.
Foo Fighters, Brixton 1995
As this was very soon after the release of Foo Fighters' first album, it could be that the guitar was acquired just before the tour, and used as his main touring guitar.
I had a Gibson Explorer for a long time. I don't know anything about guitars. If it sounds good when you play it, play it.

Gibson Les Paul Custom (White)
This is one of the guitars that Dave used in the early days of Foo Fighters, from around 1995 to 1997. It was seen in numerous concerts, including at the Virgin Megastore, New York, 1996, Phoenix Festival in 1996, and the Bizarre Festival in 1997 – just to name a few.
Dave with the blonde Les Paul, Bizarre Festival 1997
Based on the appearances, the guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Custom. This can be deducted from the large block fretboard inlays and the split diamond headstock inlay, which are features of an LP Custom.
Gibson Les Paul Custom (Black)
This is another guitar used by Dave on tours in the early days of Foo Fighters, up until the late 90s. Among others, it was used parallel with another Les Paul Custom, which could indicate that the two guitars were purchased together. Some sources online even claim that this is indeed the case and that they are both 1991 models, but none of them share their sources, so it could be just another internet tale copied from one site to another.
Dave playing the black Les Paul Custom, Foo-Fighters at Reading Festival 1998
1970s Gibson RD Standard (Tobacco Burst)
This is another guitar that Dave used in the early days of Foo Fighters, and not much is known about it. As an interesting note, Krist Novoselic used to use RD bass guitars in Nirvana, but Dave explained that he discovered the guitar on his own and that it wasn't necessarily an influence from Krist.
I had an RD phase [Gibson RD Artist]. I was really into RDs for a while. [Krist Novoselic] had RD and Grabber basses. But I think what happened was that I saw one in a store and I thought, Wow this thing weighs 40 pounds! I had a Gibson Explorer for a long time. I don't know anything about guitars. If it sounds good when you play it, play it.

Gretsch 6125 (Smoke Green)
Dave was seen playing this guitar during the 1997 Rockpalast/Bizarre Festival concert. He used it to play Doll, See You, and For all the Cows.
As far as why he picked up the guitar for this one particular occasion (he didn't seem to use it anywhere else) is unknown. If you happen to know the backstory, be sure to leave a comment below.
Dave playing a Gretsch, 1997, Rockpalast, Bizarre Festival
Gibson SG Custom (White)
Dave was seen using this guitar around 1997, most notably at the Bizarre Festival (photo below), and on the television show "Later… with Jools Holland".
Dave Grohl playing a white Gibson SG Custom at Bizzare Festival, 1997.
Unfortunately, not much is known about this guitar. From the looks of it, it's an older SG Custom model, with three pickups, and a stop-tail bridge. Based on the black knobs, and the black pickguard, it's most likely a 70s model.
But, as far as where Dave got it, and where it disappeared in the late 90s, that's completely a mystery.
1970s Telecaster Custom
Dave started using this guitar following the release of There Is Nothing Left to Lose in 1999. Apparently, he used a Telecaster on some of the songs from that album, so it would make sense that he would take one tour – even though this was quite a change. Up until that point he used Gibsons basically exclusively.
Guitar-wise, [on There Is Nothing Left to Lose] I used my Gibson Trini Lopez, a Fender Telecaster, a Gretsch Duo-Jet, some Les Pauls, Explorers, and RD Artists.
Rockin' Grohl Hoochie Foo – Guitar One 1999
Dave with the Telecaster, The 10:30 Slot, 1999
Gretsch G6128T Duo-Jet
According to Dave, he used a Gretsch Duo-Jet on the Foo Fighter's 1999 album There Is Nothing Left to Lose.
Guitar-wise, I used my Gibson Trini Lopez, a Fender Telecaster, a Gretsch Duo-Jet, some Les Pauls, Explorers, and RD Artists.
Specifically, he mentioned using the guitar for the chorus on the song "Headwires".
The main riff [on Headwires] is an Explorer playing through the Memory Man and the Vox, and the harmonics were done with the same setup. The choruses are the Duo Jet running through a Rat and the Vox. The high, picking part in the middle eight is an SG through the Memory Man.
Dave Grohl's No Fuzz Zone – Guitar Player 1999
Ampeg Dan Armstrong Plexiglass
This was Dave's main guitar during the One by One Tour (2002–2003), and he used it almost exclusively during that period. It was also used on a few occasions in 2004/05, but at that point, a lot of other guitars were also in the mix.
Dave playing the Ampeg Dan Armstrong guitar. Studio 2 (CD:UK) 2002
This guitar model was made famous mainly by Keith Richard of the Rolling Stones, who used one starting from 1969. Dave's guitar is from around that same period, since Ampeg only produced the model for three years, from 1969 to 1971.
Gibson Firebird Studio (Black)
This Gibson Firebird was one of Dave's main touring guitars around 2005/2006, and he continued using it occasionally in 2007/08. He was seen playing it on numerous occasions, but most notably at the Reading Festival in 2005, and Isle of Wight in 2006.
Dave Grohl playing a black Gibson Firebird guitar at Isle of Wight music festival, 2006.
Based on the looks, the guitar was a Gibson Firebird Studio model, since it has simple dot fretboard inlays and a single-ply pickguard.
The guitar was equipped with Gibsons' 490R and 498T humbuckers (if he kept it stock), it had a Tune-o-Matic bridge, Sa topbar tailpiece, and Grover tuners.
Gibson Firebird Studio (White)
This Gibson Firebird Studio seemed to have been a backup for Dave's black Firebird around 2005/06. Based on the footage available, it seems that the white was used a lot less than the black one, therefore the assumption that it was just a backup. Also, the black Firebird made it into 2007/08, while the white one was nowhere to be seen at that point.
Dave playing the white Gibson Firebird at Isle of Wight, 2006.
Unfortunately, not much is known about the guitar, aside from what can be deducted from the photos.
It's a 2000s Firebird Studio, obviously, finished in white. The pickups in it, assuming the guitar is stock, are the Gibson 490R and 498T humbuckers.
Gibson Dave Grohl Signature DG-335
This has been Dave's main guitar ever since it has been introduced by Gibson in 2007. The guitar is basically a Gibson Trini Lopez with Dave's own touches on it, which makes sense since he said numerous times that the Trini Lopez is his favorite guitar of all time.
Dave playing his DG-335 signature guitar from Gibson.
The DG-335 features a semi-hollow-body design made of maple and a mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard. The f-holes, fretboard inlays, and headstock shape were all taken directly from the Trini Lopez model.
Dave Grohl's Acoustic Guitars
Taylor 410
Dave used this guitar during the set that the band did for Howard Stern Show in May 2000.
Dave playing the guitar at the Howard Stern studio.
Based on the appearances, this is a 410 model from Taylor. This is based on the rosette, which appears to have three rings, with the middle one being bright white. Also, the binding around the fretboard seems to be typical to this model, particularly to the guitar made in the late 90s.
Taylor 814-CE
Dave was seen playing this guitar on a number of occasions in the early 2000s, most notably at the Bridge Benefit Concerts, and at the AT&T Acoustic Series gig.
Dave with the guitar during the AT&T acoustic gig.
The 814-CE is among Taylor's top-of-the-line models. Dave's guitar was made likely in the late 90s or 2000, and it differs a little when compared to the modern version. The newer models have different inlays, they often come with a small arm rest against the top edge.
Martin D-18
Dave used this guitar most famously to play a cover of Elton John's Tiny Dancer on February 16, 2001, on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn.
Based on the appearances, this was a Martin D-18 model, since it doesn't appear to have white binding around the side edges.
It's however unknown whether this was actually Dave's guitar, or whether it was provided to him by the TV staff.
Gibson Elvis Presley Dove
This is the acoustic guitar that Dave uses most often in recent years. He started using it around 2005 (see video at the bottom) and continues using it to this day. He owns more than just one of these guitars, but it is unknown whether he has a favorite among them.

The Gibson Elvis Presley Dove is a model based on Elvis Presley's 1969 Gibson Dove acoustic guitar that he used in the early 70s. The guitar was a gift from his father, Vernon Presley. In 1975, Elvis famously handed the guitar mid-performance to an astonished audience member at a concert in Asheville, North Carolina.
Dave Grohl's Amps
Vox AC30
This has been Dave's main amp for many years, starting from the early days of Foo Fighters. Most often, he used it for the clean sounds, while using Mesa Boogies or other amps for the dirty tones.
As a an example of specific use, the amp was featured extensively on the There Is Nothing Left to Lose (1999).
We focused on not using too many distortion pedals, and went for a cleaner, fatter, more natural overdrive. We used a Vox AC30 for pretty much everything on the record, tweaking the sound so that it broke up nicely when played loud.
Sometimes we'd double a track using an old Pro Co Rat, and then hard-pan the parts so that a super-distorted guitar was in the left channel and a grindy guitar was in the right. Then we'd sprinkle in lots of clean guitar overdubs.
Dave Grohl's No Fuzz Zone, Guitar Player 1999
In the most recent years, Dave's guitar tech simplified the rig somewhat, as explained in the interview below.
Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier
Apparently, this was one of the amps that were heavily utilized on the Foo Fighters' second album The Colour and the Shape (1997). This information can be deducted from Dave's quote below – in which he talked about the amps used on the band's third album.
We also used a MESA/Boogie Maverick–it's a little head. But we tried to stay away from the MESA/Boogie Dual or Triple Rectifier sound because we did that on the last record a lot.
This of course means that some of the band's biggest hits including Everlong, My Hero, and Monkey Wrench were all recorded on Mesa/Boogie Dual/Triple Rectifier amps – or at least the parts of the dongs that are heavy/distorted. The clean parts were likely done on a Vox AC30.
The band's guitar amp setup at Bizarre Festival 2000. Two Mesa/Boogie Dual, and two Vox AC30 (second is to the right of Dave).
Mesa/Boogie Road King
This seems to be the amp that replaced most of Dave's amps around the early 2000s and remains his main stage amp up until the 2010s.
In the earlier years, it sounds like Dave would use a Vox AC30 for clean sound, and a separate amp for dirty sound – usually a Mesa Boogie of some sort. At some point, his guitar tech decided to simplify things and replaced the whole setup with a couple of Mesa Boogie Road Kings. So, now they are used for both the clean and dirty sounds – at least when playing live.
I got rid of the extra amps. Before, when he [Grohl] wanted a cleaner sound, the A/B box would get a signal from the Vox AC30, which sounded great. When he wanted a dirty sound, he would go to the Mesa Boogie, and there was a Marshall that was in the mix every once in a while.
I got rid of that and I bought a three-channel amp at the time, and now we use four-channel amps, so I can get a wide range of tones and sounds. I like the Mesa Boogie Road Kings because 1) they sound good, and 2) they're bullet-proof.

Fender Tone Master
Dave apparently used these amps in his live setup after the release of Wasting Light in 2011, primarily for smaller venues.
There was a point, and this was again right after we've made Wasting Light (2011) and we were rehearsing getting ready to tour, and pretty much everybody had been playing Boogies for years. I remember the first rehearsals for Wasting Light, everybody showed up with an entirely different amp – Dave showed up with those Tone Masters, and Custom Audio amps.

Dave used these amps in his live setup around the time of the release of Wasting Light in 2011.
Dave Grohl's Effects
Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man
Dave mentioned using this effect on Foo Fighter's 1999 album There's Nothing Left to Lose.
Dunlop Heil Talkbox
Dave used a Dunlop Heil Talkbox on the song "Generator" from the Foo Fighter's 1999 album There Is Nothing Left to Lose.
Most of the record was done with a Vox AC-30, with effects pedals like a Uni-Vibe or a Memory Man, or old BOSS delay pedals, Rat distortion pedals, Electro-Harmonix pedals, or Octave Fuzzes. I used a Talk Box on "Generator."
ProCo RAT Distortion
This seems to be one of Dave's main distortion pedals, although it's hard to find information on the specific uses.
He did mention in an interview regarding the 1999 album There Is Nothing Left to Lose that he used a ProCo RAT a lot combined with a Vox AC30 amp on specific songs like Stacked Actors, but as said, these statements regarding specific uses are rare.
I actually tuned my low E string down to A, so it was flopping all over the place. That's the Rat pedal through the Vox. [Engineer} Adam Kaspar recorded the last Soundgarden record, and he had worked with R.E.M., so he was good with those Vox and Maverick amps–I had never used them before. So we were all really into the Vox AC-30 with the Rat pedal because it sounded badass. It sounded warm and kind of fucked up, not like the razor-sharp distortion of a Rectifier. It was something a little fatter, a little warmer, and a little more believable.
Boss Digital Delay DD-3
Dave used this pedal on his most recent pedalboard, a photo of which was published on Reddit in 2021. There are also photos of his pedalboard dating to earlier years, all of which seem to feature this pedal.
It's very hard to tell which version of the Boss Digital Delay this is, because the differences between let's say a DD-3 and a DD-8 are very subtle, at least visually. But, based on the fact that the "A" and "B" labels don't seem to be present next to the input/output marks, this is likely a DD-3.
Dave Grohl's pedalboard, 2021.
As far as usage, obviously, one of the delays is dedicated to playing the song "Aurora" since it's clearly labeled for that purpose. The other pedal could is probably the "all purpose" delay, and is used as needed.
MXR Phase 90
This is one of the few pedals that were actually photographed on Dave's pedalboard at one point, aside from the Boss TU tuner and a delay pedal. However, it's hard to tell whether he actually ever uses it, aside from on the song "Breakout".

If you happen to come across any interview where Dave talks about this pedal, or you have any knowledge of when he used it, please be sure to leave a comment below
Xotic EP Booster
This pedal was seen on Dave's pedalboard in 2021. The pedal is basically a replica of the legendary EP-3 echo which many of the old-school guitarists used as a pre-amp. It basically just gives a little bit of volume boost to the signal.

Dave Grohl's Strings
According to Dave's guitar tech, Joe Beebe, Dave uses the D'Addario EXL115 strings on his electric guitars, with some modifications. Joe puts heavier strings on the top for Dave, with .42 for the A-string and .60 for the E, compared to .038 and .049 respectively on the original EXL115 set.
I use D'Addario EXL 115s, but I throw the bottom two strings away and I replace them with a .42 for the A-string and a .60 for the E-string.
He is such a hard player; he's a chainsaw live! He was breaking strings a lot, so I had to beef up the gauges a bunch and I also have to raise the action on him, otherwise he's hitting the strings so hard all it would do is buzz all day long!

Dave Grohl's Accessories
Dunlop .71mm Gator Grip Picks
This is the pick that Dave used in the early days, during the 90s. In the later years, Dunlop started making custom picks with the Foo Fighters logo printed on them, but they were essentially the same.
The Gator Grip pick is a special type of pick developed by Dunlop, with the goal to increase the grip when compared to regular smooth picks. They achieved this by using a rough matte surface, which Dave apparently loves.
Dunlop .71mm Gator Grip Picks seen on Dave's mic stand, circa 1995.
It's worth noting that on some footage, the picks appear to have a different, darker purple color. But, it seems that this is just Dunlop not sticking to one particular color, as you can find .71mms in various shades of purple it seems.

This extensive trail system provides something for riders and recreationists of all skill levels and types. You're sure to find something that will suit your fancy.
The Tanasi Trail System at the Ocoee White Water Center has extensive mountain biking, which offers a fantastic variety of trails and hosts several major races each year. The fast flowing trails in the Brush Creek System are a great place for beginner to intermediate riders looking to build their fitness levels and hone their skills. There are a few technical descents so don't let your guard down!
Riders who really want to test their fitness and skill will want to check out the Cohutta 100 and Big Frog 65 race loops. If you're riding of these loops you'll want to bring a lot of food and water. The courses overlap in places so its possible to leave a drop bag. There are also several streams that cross or parallel the race course.
Parts of these loops are also very remote and do not have cell service so check the weather first, let someone know where you will be, and plan accordingly!
Intermediate to advanced riders will enjoy the trails across the river. The descent down Thunder Rock Express, in particular, is a must ride. Just be careful on the bridges; they can be very slippery when wet.

Jenny Tolan isn't taking the conventional route with her new master's in business administration degree.
The 31-year-old Columbia Business School graduate isn't going to work on Wall Street or at a consulting firm. In fact, Tolan didn't even apply.
She sought a role in the technology sector and nailed down a position at one of the world's most well-known companies in Silicon Valley. She starts later this summer.
Tolan, who holds a bachelor's degree in international relations from Stanford University in addition to her MBA, didn't have a background in technology. She was heavily involved in the social services sector for seven years, working for organizations such as Teach for America and the Peace Corps.
"Everything I care about seems to be moving fastest in tech. So, I started applying to tech companies. Then I got a summer internship and got the job," Tolan said. "I am thrilled with it. I feel like I will be able to get a huge amount of interesting business and corporate experience, but with a lifestyle that far exceeds life on Wall Street."
Financial firms have gotten a bad rap from allegedly requiring interns and entry-level employees to work around the clock. It's a situation a number of banks like Bank of America have addressed by designing new measures to support work-life balance.
But the damage may already be done. Tolan isn't the only new MBA graduate passing up traditional financial sector jobs for alternatives.
More and more companies are starting to recognize the worth of an MBA and are making a more organized effort to lure new graduates away from Wall Street, according to Brad Aspel, director of career education and advising at Columbia Business School. This could soon create a bigger challenge for financial and consulting firms to recruit star candidates.
He said a wider variety of sectors are accepting business school graduates for permanent jobs and have added summer internship recruiters to their payrolls. Aspel names Tesla, Zynga and Amazon as examples.
"Google five or six years ago understood the reason to hire an engineer, but didn't know what the value of an MBA would add. But, they took a couple of students who were very aggressive in showing interest," Aspel said. "Now that company has moved to where they have a very structured summer internship experience."
Graduates from the Harvard Business School MBA program wave flags at commencement in Cambridge, Mass.
The Graduate Management Admission Council is watching the job opportunities very closely.
A global student exit survey taken by the nonprofit educational organization finds job seekers in fields such as technology, manufacturing and health care were more likely to have an early job offer this year than those searching in the finance, accounting and consulting areas.
"Regardless of the industry, all of them are looking for skills in various job functions like marketing, sales, finance and accounting," said Gregg Schoenfeld, who spearheaded the GMAC survey.
In nontraditional areas such as health care and pharmaceuticals, he said 90 percent are expecting to hire this year versus 81 percent last year, which is considered a big jump.
The movement to lure B-school graduates away from the financial sector is starting to grip small biotech companies, too, said Robin Toft, president and CEO of Sanford Rose Associates-Toft Group, an executive search firm focusing on companies in the health-care arena.
"Baby boomers are retiring and there's not enough talent to go around. It is a candidate-driven market again," Toft said. "Executive search is very busy right now because there are not enough good candidates for every opening. It is a brilliant time to be seeking employment."
Toft recommends new B-school graduates look into industries which are highly progressive and rapidly changing. She adds that a lot of employers have an open mind when it comes to filling positions now due to the shortage of talent in pharmaceuticals and biotech.
"Many companies have to lower their bar. A lot ask for 10 to 15 years of experience, and then they have to cut that," she said.
Greg Konstans, partner in the Dallas office of worldwide executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles, is also urging new B-school graduates to look for jobs off the beaten path—particularly in the areas of big data and analytics. He refers to this as the "holy grail."
"What we would tell you, if you're a recent MBA grad, you will probably have the most luck in energy and health care. But we would also indicate you would want to look at strategy firms," he said.

Q: Conditional Update stored proc is firing a trigger always I have a stored procedure that says
update table1 set value1 = 1 where value1 = 0 and date < getdate()

I have a trigger that goes like
CREATE TRIGGER NAME ON TABLENAME
FOR UPDATE
...
if UPDATE(value1)
BEGIN
--Some code to figure out that this trigger has been called
-- the value is always null
END

Any idea why this trigger is called even when the stored procedure does not update any values?

A: Read the books online article about update(), it's actually a good read.
You can find it here, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187326.aspx.
To answer:
Update() will return true if the column is "updated," even if no rows were affected by the update.
For example (setup):
If OBJECT_ID('TestTrigger', 'U') is not null drop table TestTrigger
GO
create table TestTrigger(
  ID int identity(1,1)
, Col1 int
, Col2 int
, Trig varchar(1) default 'N'
)
Insert into TestTrigger(Col1, Col2) values (1,1)
Insert into TestTrigger(Col1, Col2) values (1,2)
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('Testing', 'TR') is not null drop trigger Testing
GO
Create Trigger Testing on TestTrigger
For Update
as
Begin
If Update(Col1)
    begin
        Update TestTrigger Set Trig='Y' where ID=(Select ID from Inserted)
    end
End

If I run Update TestTrigger Set Col1=0 where Col2=1 and check my rows affected I'll see
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)

Which we know is true, 1 is affected by the update statement, the other by the trigger.
If I run Update TestTrigger Set Col1=0 where Col2=10 I'll see,
(0 row(s) affected)
(0 row(s) affected)

This means that Update(Col1) is returning as true (because otherwise we'd only get a single rows affected returned).
If I run Update TestTrigger Set Col2=0 where Col2=10 I'll see
(0 row(s) affected)

This is because Col1 is no longer referenced. As @Schar mentioned checking @@RowCount is a good idea as well, or alternatively you could use something like I did (linking inserted).
Kris
EDIT: and to add, from the Create Trigger BO article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189799.aspx),

These triggers fire when any valid
  event is fired, regardless of whether
  or not any table rows are affected.

A: A friend commented that I would be good with the following line in the trigger (indicating the trigger always fires)
IF @@ROWCOUNT=0 RETURN

James-Sylvestre-Passenger Cruise Ship Death Mount-Washington
October 28, 2006 Overboard Deaths
James Sylvestre, 45 – Suicidal Behavior, MS Mount Washington Passenger, October 28, 2006, Time of Death 10:00.
James Sylvestre, 45, from Hooksett fell overboard from the MS Mt. Washington ship about 10 pm on October 28, 2006, during a night time Halloween cruise, said New Hampshire Fish and Game Lt. Jim Goss. Sylvestre and his family made a tradition of attending the Halloween cruise. He had told his wife that he was going up on deck to get some air during the last half-hour of the cruise. Sylvestre, dressed in a hippie costume, was last seen leaning over the rail on the boat's lower deck. He had worked at Segway in Bedford and was attending the annual public Halloween party on the boat
A few of the 290 people onboard saw Sylvestre fall during rough seas. The crew threw out a life ring, turned on floodlights and got help from the Marine Patrol; Fish and Game; and fire and police from Gilford, Laconia and Alton. A four-hour search ensued, but was hampered by darkness, driving rain and strong winds. Then, extreme winds prevented rescue workers from searching for Sylvestre for more than a day. With water temperatures in the 50s, searchers said anyone in the lake would be overcome by hypothermia in a matter of minutes
A New Hampshire State Police helicopter searched shorelines and some surface water. Connecticut State Police joined the search by contributing two troopers and a 25-foot search boat specially fitted with side sonar.
Divers and a special sonar unit were brought to search along a section of the cruise ship's route, between Welch and Rattlesnake islands.
"We had to suspend the search because of the large size of the potential search area and the fact that nothing of significance had been found after several days," said Fish and Game Department Lt. James Goss. "We know how difficult these situations are for the families, and regret we could not bring the search to a successful conclusion."
Mount Washington Cruises in the Weirs Beach section of Laconia offers narrated two to three hour scenic cruises and dinner dance cruises from early May through October for a price of $20 to $40 per person.
The company also does U.S. Mail delivery for residents with homes along the shoreline, serving Loon Island, Bear Island, Beaver Island, 3 Mile Island, East Bear Island, Camp Lawrence, Birch Island, Sandy Island, Cow Island, and Jolly Island.
Lake winnipesaukee is the largest lake in NH spanning 72 miles at the longest stretch. It is a spring fed 44,000 acres lake with 274 habitable islands and has 282 miles of shoreline
UPDATE: September 26, 2007
The body of James Sylvestre has been found this past week and identified through dental records.
Sylvestre's body was found "in the general vicinity" of where he fell overboard in 2006, by a fisherman 1.5 miles off shore between Diamond and Welch Islands around 7:15 a.m. Friday, September 21, 2007.
Officials say that while it is impossible to know exactly what happened, it is likely Sylvestre's body sank to the bottom of the lake before floating back up. With water temperatures in the 50s at the time, searchers said anyone in the lake would be overcome by hypothermia in a matter of minutes. James Sylvestre Page
UPDATE: December 13, 2007
The widow of Sylvestre has file a wrongful death lawsuit this case. The suit filed by Attorney Vincent Wenners Jr. of Manchester charges that the cruise line and its employees "failed in their duty" to prevent Sylvestre from falling overboard, operating the ship in such a manner as to cause him to fall and then failed to rescue him after he went into the water.
Witnesses have said that Sylvestre was leaning over the ship's railing and appeared to be vomiting when he fell into the lake.
The suit claims that the cruise line and its employees had a duty to not serve alcohol to an already-intoxicated person and "recklessly served" alcohol beverages to the decedent.
Mrs. Sylvestre is alleging loss of consortium and loss of companionship and is seeking unspecified monetary damages.
UPDATE: March 15, 2008
The state fined the Winnipesaukee Flagship Corporation $3,000, with half of it suspended after determining employees served James Sylvestre more alcohol after he was already intoxicated.
A Marine Patrol report concluded Sylvestre went over the side because of being drunk and possibly from the combination of alcohol and medicine he was taking. The report quoted witnesses as saying they saw Sylvestre stumble toward the ship's rail, hit it hard and flip over.

Henry ready for the unknown
By Adrian Seconi
Dunedin boxer Awatea Henry gets in some training at New Zealand Fight and Fitness earlier this week.PHOTO: LINDA ROBERTSON
Awatea Henry has a big fight today and no game plan.
It is not through a lack of preparation. The 17-year-old has been training hard.
It is just he is not quite sure who his opponent will be and that makes planning tricky.
But it is a big opportunity. The Dunedin boxer will be representing New Zealand in a tri-nations tournament involving Australia and Samoa.
He is fighting the Australian No 1 in the 69kg youth division in Auckland, then attending a training camp the next day.
"I just have to stay ready and keep training the same," Henry responded when asked how he goes about preparing for the unknown.
"But it has been similar throughout the year. Most of the time I don't know who I'm fighting."
Henry did try to look up who he might be fighting but "there [are] about seven people who it could be", he shrugged.
The teenager is well-versed at going into a fight without a solid plan. He has had 51 fights and it has not been unusual for him to show up at an event unsure whether there would be a suitable opponent.
He has ended up taking fights against older or more experienced opponents. That has meant he has had to adapt quickly in the ring.
"Fighting older people has definitely helped me. And I gained a lot of experience which is useful now that I'm fighting people my own age."
Whoever he faces, Henry will be confident. He has really stepped up this year and is undefeated in eight fights.
Henry leans on his jab to help wear opponents down and his power punch is typically an uppercut. But he likes to throw combinations and keep the pressure on his opponents.
The young man has lofty goals. He hopes to represent his country at the youth world championships next year and would love to go the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
He is also eyeing a professional career.
Today's fight is another small step on that path.

When it comes to writing, no matter where you are in terms of skill or talent, it's important to keep focused on your own goals while also keeping yourself open to new ideas, techniques, and attitudes.
It is a personal balance between application of knowledge and individual direction. Discernment is a powerful tool for an author for there is never any end to an author's journey… possibly, discernment is the most powerful tool of the lot.
Just as important though is to seek forward momentum in everything you do.
What this means is to identify psychological tricks and habits that personally help you, as a writer, feel a forward motion into the near-future as well as distance your mind from the recent past. This creates an active space in which to improve, to learn, to create, to build, to cultivate a dynamic relationship with life… basically to be active, to be alive!
I don't necessarily mean emotions when I'm talking about this. You can feel all sorts of emotions while moving forward. But the sensation of feeling does come into play in regards to: Do you feel like you moved forward? Can you feel that momentum of intention?
Does this actually mean that if you do two things every day, one for your craft and one for your brand, you'll be guaranteed success?
What it does touch on, however, is creating ground for that feeling of momentum. It is a psychological trick to help you feel that you are moving forward. Even the most data-oriented fact-chaser can go "at least I objectively do something every day!" and feel good about their momentum – but it is still a trick because numbers, quotas, and the like are never guarantees that what was done that day was something that actually moved you forward.
Constant escape from stagnation and depression is a creator's duty in order to produce things of interest for others.
If doing one thing a day makes you feel like you're working hard and moving forward, then it is great; but what if it doesn't? What if you need to do five things a day? What if it changes per week depending on the projects you're undertaking? What if you need more?
Quotas are landmarks to attempt feeling productive, but a quota by itself is never a guarantee that you are doing what you need to do to move forward. In order for quotas to be effective, there has to be a context of understanding around them. You have to know how they support your intentions.
This is why it is important to maintain focus, but not so much focus that you become locked down and unable to see around you.
Deep focus is great for short-term work. It is great for when you need to smash something out in a day or so. Yet it is also important to balance this kind of focus with awareness of new things to allow into your world.
Being open isn't always a good thing by itself; moderation is advised otherwise you might find yourself becoming sycophantic to a dogma that may not actually help you cultivate your personal creative capabilities over the long-term.
Frameworks are excellent for short-term exploration to pick up new techniques but the best framework is the one you are constantly building by yourself, for yourself, not generalized ones meant to be applied to whoever.
My thought on frameworks (outline structures, formulas, rulebooks, belief paradigms, etc.) is that they are great to explore and handy to learn from, but I am always working on finding my own framework, building my own understanding of how I create; because I don't aim to be a generalized whoever-writer.
I don't know a lot about martial arts or other fighting disciplines, but I assume it would make for a decent metaphor here (maybe something like Tai Chi?) where one has to remain tense, but not rigid, and fluid but not… sloppy.
You can't snap in half due to any unexpected gust of wind, but you should have enough awareness of your form so that you can stand tall instead of collapsing flat on the ground.
Too much focus and one becomes prone to tunnel-vision. Too little focus and one flits about aimlessly. Too much openness and one becomes vulnerable to easy conversion. Too little openness and well… stagnation and tunnel-vision can also occur.
Drop failures as soon as you can after recognizing them.
Don't do anything you don't want to do and know what that means for you.
Learn from both failures and successes: Don't strive for perfection and don't keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.
Let's go with another loose metaphor: like a ninja sprinting toward a target, if enemies appear or obstacles arise, the ninja must quickly and cleverly deal with them while still moving forward… while still making headway to wherever/whoever they are trying to get to. There isn't room to stop and wonder, there isn't time to get hurt and recover either, the shadow warrior knows what must be done and does it without hesitation.
The spirit of creation is no different.
Maintain focus but don't ignore your surroundings, run forward but know where you are heading and why. Be ready to change course, be prepared for the unpredictable to occur, but never, ever, stop!


Central Oregon Radon & Indoor Air Quality testing, Residential & Commercial Properties. Building testing, Inspections, Radon & Sewer Scope Inspection. Covering all of Oregon And Eastern Idaho.
In Oregon you will have radon in your home and that is a fact. Depending on where you live will determine how high the levels are. We have tested homes with above 20 pCi/L. EPA states any home of business with levels above 2 pCi/L should be mitigated. Of course any radon in a home or business is dangerous.
Radon testing. Above is a radon test we completed. As you can see, the test results turned out high. 2.7 pCi/L. "Picocuries Per Liter of Air". At times the radon did spike up to 4.0. At 2.7 pCi/L the EPA recommends fixing the structure. The radon gas is considered high and dangerious.
We only use top of the line testing equipment. RS 300 will provide fast accurate results. EPA says to collect data for 48 hours.
Radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless carcinogenic gas that is hazardous to inhale and can lead to lung cancer. Approximately 12% of lung cancer is attributed to radon exposure. An estimated 21,000 people die from radon caused lung cancer each year. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and is the second leading cause of lung cancer among smokers. Radon can naturally build up within your home, causing a serious health concern for you and your family.
Radon gas is created from the decay of uranium in the earth. The gas seeps through the ground structure and collects within the home. It is estimated that 1 in every 15 homes has elevated radon levels. However, it is known that the ratio drops to 1 in every 5 homes or lower in areas where there is a known radon risk.
The Surgeon General and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommend all homes be tested for radon. The only way to accurately determine its presence is to have a radon test performed by a trained individual with the appropriate testing equipment. Your home is where you spend most of your life; it is the place you are most likely to be exposed to the gas and needs the best protection from such carcinogens. The bottom line is get your home tested as soon as possible.
Not true. Homes next door to each other can read totally different measurements and have varying levels of radon. It is common to have multiple excessive measurements in one area and for one home to have excessive radon while the next door neighbor does not. Therefore, the only way to determine if you have a build-up of radon gas is to have measurements taken. Give us a call to test your home.
Not true. Excessive measurements have been documented in every state. Again, you must have a radon test performed in the home to determine if you are being exposed to it. Radon levels of 4 pCi/L and above should undergo remediation, per the EPA. Contacting a radon mitigation company for repair is needed if levels are excessive. There are some areas, such as West Salem and South Salem, known to have excessive readings. However, I have found excessive measurements all over the Willamette Valley. You are potentially at risk if you do not know what the radon levels are in your home. Therefore, get your home tested today.
Not true. Having your home tested, prior to selling, can help speed up the sale. Testing takes at least 48 hours to perform and it is recommend that you have radon testing done prior to selling. If you have excessive readings, you can have radon mitigated and provide documentation to the buyer to give them a piece of mind. If the radon testing results show low levels, documentation is still beneficial. You will be able to demonstrate that your home has been tested and that it does not have radon build-up. This is a great selling point that both realtors and sellers and having the results available can help to place the home above their competitors.
Not true. When radon testing is performed by a trained individual with the appropriate equipment the results are reliable. That is why as a homeowner, you want to use Building Analyst Group to test your home or future home for radon. We are trained in radon testing and use expert equipment, a continuous sampling machine, to document radon within the structure. The device is small, makes no noise, and is not harmful to individuals. The report is made available immediately following the end of testing to provide you with important information as you make prudent decisions about the purchase of your home.
No true. All types of home construction are subject to radon build-up in the home. It does not matter if your home is new or old, has a crawl space or a slab foundation. The geology of the location on which the home was constructed can affect radon levels in the home. As there is no way to see what the geology under the home is, you should have your home sampled for radon gas.
Not true. Reducing your exposure to radon lowers the risk of lung cancer, even if you have lived there for a long period of time. Continued exposure will only leave you at even greater risk.
Not true. It is recommended that you have testing done every two years to assure there have been no changes in radon build-up of your home. This is a recommendation from the EPA.
After we complete your test, you will have documentation that describes the date, time, duration, and location of the test, what radon levels were measured at that time (if any), and if any attempt was made to tamper with the machine. This document can be mailed or emailed to a radon mitigation contractor, who may suggest a second test. This is dependent on the type of test done. As our testing is done with a continuous air monitor, the mitigation contractors usually do not recommend retesting. Instead, they recommend remediation procedures to reduce the levels below 2pCi/L. Other forms of testing, such as canisters, require you to send them away to be analyzed, then a report prepared and mailed back to you. Additional fees do occur with this kind of test and the results take much longer to get. Our testing procedures and machine are preferred over the canister types because of the detailed information they provide, the fact that the machine is able to determine if it has been tampered with and the results are immediately available. Give us a call to have your home tested.
How long does it take to get lung cancer from radon?
What kinds of cancer are caused by radon?
Radon decays quickly, giving off tiny radioactive particles. When inhaled, these radioactive particles can damage the cells that line the lung. Long-term exposure to radon can lead to lung cancer, the only cancer proven to be associated with inhaling radon.
What are the symptoms of radon gas exposure?
Radon poisoning symptoms are as follows: a persistent cough that does not get better, difficulty breathing, chest pains, the coughing up of blood, wheezing,hoarseness, and recurring respiratory infections, such as pneumonia or bronchitis.
How much radon is safe?
(Radon causes 26% of lung cancer deaths among non-smokers.) The "action" limit is based on the average cost of a radon mitigation system in 1980s – $1,200. If the cost of radon mitigation was only $600, the action limit recommended to homeowners would have been set at 2 pCi/L.
Search for: How much radon is safe?
If a person has been exposed to radon, 75 percent of the radon progeny in lungs will become "harmless" lead particles after 44 years. When an alpha particle damages a cell to make it cancerous, the onset of lung cancer takes a minimum of 5 years but most often 15 to 25 years, and even longer.
By installing a 250 cfm exhaust fan in the basement this reduced the radon level from 2.7 to 1.9. Much safer level than before. The next step would be to seal all cracks in the concrete floor.

The most negative feature of electromagnetic signals in the fact that they tend to accumulate in the body over time. People by occupation, many use various office equipment - computers, telephones (including mobile) - found lower immunity, frequent stress, decreased sexual activity, fatigue. And that's not all the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation!

Lemony Snicket Spends 'Unfortunate Events' Mocking Netflix
It's the streaming show that hates streaming culture.
When author Daniel Handler spoke to Inverse about the inherent difficulty in adapting his Lemony Snicket novels to television, he said "a commitment to literature is always a challenge." Is the culture of binging streaming TV philosophically opposed to reading books? Because if so, Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events is the first highly bingeable streaming TV show with a very vocal and guilty conscience.
At the beginning of every single episode, Neil Patrick Harris sings directly to the audience and tells them to "look away." This joke is a direct tribute to the way meta-author Lemony Snicket advised readers to stop reading each of the original novels. In the books, with false earnestness, Snicket would recommend you read a different book, which now has been modified for the medium of streaming television. In the seventh episode of the Netflix series, Lemony Snicket (Patrick Warburton) gets probably his best warning: "If you like stories about children who enjoy pleasant rides in truck beds on their way to colorful destinations where they finally solve the curious mysteries plaguing their lives, that story is streaming elsewhere."
But the show doesn't just joke about watching other stuff on Netflix. There is constant criticism about the medium of streaming TV as a whole. If author Daniel Handler believes streaming TV could rot our brains, some of his characters trumpet that message, too. In the second episode, Count Olaf says, "As an actor I think live theatre is a much more powerful medium than say…streaming television." Because Olaf is the villain, and his theatrical talents are questionable, this cuts both ways. Olaf dissing streaming TV could read as mocking anti-TV snobs just as much as it could be interpreted as the show being critical of its own medium.
Still, streaming subscription services like Netflix generally want people to consume more of their product. And that ussually relies on keeping certain plot details a secret. In the third episode, Neil Patrick Harris's opening song tells the viewer, "Spoiler alert, a villain comes to plot and steal and murder, so if I were you, I wouldn't even watch one minute further." The medium of streaming TV is being mocked for sure, but the true target here is the way people talk about shows. Because the entire plot of a show's season is available more quickly in the streaming model, worries about spoilers have become almost fanatical to the point of absurdity. But, in a move worthy of Kurt Vonnegut, A Series of Unfortunate Events just "ruins" the plot for you, and then dares you to keep on watching.
Superficially, this might seem counterintuitive, because on some level, it kind of is. But the popularity of the Snicket books — and the show — don't rely on logical explanations. Faithfully adapting these books in the first place was a pretty hefty gamble; one made even more subversive by the constant reiteration that show not be worth watching. If the crazy plot twists are mostly ruined and the characters unpleasant, why would an audience member who isn't already in on the joke get into this show? The answer might seem elusive, but it is there. The reason the seemingly antithetical "look away" strategy actually draws viewers in is because it demonstrates the show's core honesty. A Series of Unfortunate Events is so confident in its story, it doesn't even need to bait an audience into watching. Plot twists might happen, but in this show, those twists will be earned.
In the eighth and final episode of the first season, Count Olaf dishes out his best insult to popular television at large. "My plots were simple and straightforward and didn't involve any high-concept science fiction gimmicks." In context, Olaf was actually talking about "evil plots," and not necessarily the written "plots" of certain other streaming TV shows. But it's still true in the other context, too. The vast majority of the plots in all of A Series of Unfortunate Events don't rely on gimmicks. These are creative stories with great characters. In fact, the stories are so compelling, it can even spoil its own ending, and no one would stop watching. And with that, maybe Lemony Snicket is asking a more interesting question: If a spoiler can't actually spoil anything, does it even exist?

Want to become less reactive and more mindful?
Want to feel, think and act from your higher self?
1. Interrupts the chatter of your worried mind.
2. Delivers you to the present moment.
make choices in line with your highest good.
"This is wonderful... I have been asking people to begin thinking about how to use technology in order to help us to disconnect from technology and connect with ourselves."
from his compassionate, loving, powerful and passionate self.
Why is it so hard to live from our highest good all the time?
Our brains are programmed to conserve energy by automating our feelings thought and actions. Most of these patterns were instilled in us when we were children. It takes constant awareness, commitment and tenacity to create new, more conscious, ones.
There is a part of our brains that constantly anticipates problems and tries to solve them in advance. Its primary concern is survival; it obsesses about the future and regrets the past. It hijacks us from fully experiencing and appreciating all that life has to offer us in the present moment.
In any given moment, we are usually unaware of the feelings we are having; yet those feelings greatly affect our thoughts and actions. Our lives are at the mercy of our emotions very much like a sailor sailing a boat without understanding how the wind affects its movement; external forces will frustrate any course you set.
How does the AWARENESS app work?
The app sounds a gentle gong several times a day to remind you to connect to yourself. Then it tracks and records your feelings along with your activities. As you continue to connect with and record your feelings, you will start to discover patterns between your feelings and activities so that you can change unwanted habits and lead a more impactful life.
Why does the AWARENESS app work?
Over the last two decades, the use of brain scanning technology has conclusively revealed the brain's capacity to change its structure based on new experiences. New breakthroughs in neuroscience are continuing to reveal the extent to which our brains can rewire themselves and reshape our feelings, thoughts, behaviors and abilities. Using this application consistently over time will rewire your brain and increase your consciousness and overall well-being in your daily life.
Sharing AWARENESS with others in your life and practicing together will help humanity leap forward to our next stage of human consciousness.

What Is the Education Maintenance Allowance?
The Education Maintenance Allowance is a program that helps to pay for the education of low-income students ages 16 to 19 in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. The program was established across the United Kingdom in 2004 to encourage children from low-income families to continue their education after the age of 16. Australia has a similar program.
Under the Education Maintenance Allowance program, students ages 16 to 19 receive between £10 and £30 per week as of 2014. The money is intended for spending on books and transportation to school, but there is no enforcement of this, and students are free to spend the money as they choose. Students must attend approved classes to receive the payments.
The United Kingdom stopped offering the Education Maintenance Allowance in England in 2001 because of budget cuts. England instead switched to a bursary system in which similar payments are made directly to the students' schools rather than to the students themselves.
A similar Education Maintenance Allowance program in Australia provides $100 to $300 to low-income families with school-age children at any level to assist in paying for books, uniforms and excursions; however, the program is scheduled to be shut down at the end of 2014.
