We are hoping to do a few sight seeing activities but haven\u2019t decided on which ones. We\u2019ve been to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mount_Charleston\" target=\"_blank\">Mt. Charleston<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/photos_by_tammy\/sets\/72157600333213951\/with\/571842234\/\" target=\"_blank\">walking trails <\/a>were easy and beautiful, would love to go back.

Then there is the over pass for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/photos_by_tammy\/565372747\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hover Damn<\/a>, we need to see it.

My goal with this session is to show everyone that isn\u2019t a report writer how easy it is to use SSRS and how nice it is to not manually run queries all the time. I hope to help DBAs, data analyst and database developers everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t looked into it, traveling and attending events like SQLSaturday can usually be counted as a non-reimbursed work expense, continuing education and etc. You should check with a professional and see if one of these trips could be less burdensome.
