By delightfully melding combat and puzzle solving with solid pinball physics, Mario Pinball is not only the first pinball action/adventure game, but it's also a damn good one at that. [Nov 2004, p.130]
Nintendo PowerAs a pinball-flavored adventure, the game is a little basic for my tastes, but it's still a graphically excellent outing. [Dec 2004, p.142]
It may not revolutionize handheld pinball, but Mario Pinball Land is fun while it lasts. Unfortunately, that is not very long.
A very boring game. There is not enough substance on each game board. Trying to take the pinball video game genre in a different direction is a noble step, but at the same time, you cannot remove things that define pinball games and make them fun.
As a Mario game it fails. As a pinball game it fails. As a combination of the two it's one of the most annoying games imaginable. [GamesMaster]
It's not terrible, but it's flawed. It just doesn't do a good job with recreating the pinball experience, or really a good Mario experience.
Like that hot popular girl in high school - gorgeous on the outside but no personality on the inside. Mario Pinball Land is just too generic, and though it has the Mushroom Kingdom cast supporting it the gameplay is fully capable of causing splitting headaches.

this is off topic a bit, but I wonder if they would concider moving Bulaga to LT and let Barclay work RT.
I think they could give it a shot in TC. at least :-k
First off, it's said players improve the most from their first year to their second and Barclay fits into that. So if he improves maybe depending on how much.
But based off what I saw last year, I'd say heck no. Barclay did well at RT (with help) considering he was a rookie UDFA. But he looked like an OG (with help) playing well at RT. But Barclay was a GREAT battler... he struggled but if a guy made a mistake he used it to make it even harder. If the OTs get healthy and do well, then the OGs need to watch out for Barclay. If Barclay improves enough the OTs might need to watch out as well.
Also as Mike McCarthy keeps saying Bulaga is an all pro RT (when fully healthy), he struggles against speed some (as the Seahawks game pointed out) so he might not be an all pro LT.
Newhouse seems up and down... but when he's up he does pretty well but doesn't finish giving a good pass rusher a couple chances to get by him. But he's shows the upside where he could handle it but still needs more work and needs to get more physical.
Plus there is Sherrod, who's said to be fully healthy, I've heard he's a power mauler RT by some during the draft, but honestly I never saw that on tape... what I saw was a great technician who beat guys with technique not power or brawling with them. So I think Newhouse and Sherrod would be best at LT... and I still don't get trying Sherrod at OG... seem like all that did was destroy his early confidence. I think they were trying to get his confidence up and push Lang at LG to be his best.

I disagree, but what do I know [suicide]
IMO the time has come to finally invest a high pick into that position. We have spent 2 firsts and a lot of money on the O-line, and the running game has not improved. I am a firm believer that the problem is our RBs and NOT the line. We have had late picks and a really risky pick (Green, and his crazy Hawaii scheme) and none have worked out.
It's time to try this another way.
Our O was not impressive this year against the constant cover-2. We need a RB who can take advantage.
I hear what you are saying, but it isn't even close to passing my personal eyeball test. I don't see a hole for the running back to run through, except when he has one, then seems to do just fine, thank-you very much.
Maybe our coaching and scheme is wrong. It happens. Personally, I lean more towards that than anything. Regardless, I'm pretty sure our line sucks, notwithstanding our recent investments into it. I'm far more optimistic about the RB's in the short-term-- again- eyeball test (subjective, of course)
I am not saying I think you are wrong- I just wonder about the whole damn disgusting thing. It SUCKS not having the-or close to "the" best line in the NFL, when I think we really oughta aspire to that...
I'd like to see some GBP reporter take Jeff Saturday out to some bar and get him drunk... then report on his perspective of the Packers line, scheme, RB's...
THAT would interest me.
...plus what Wayne said. I tried to explain that a while ago, got CREAMED for it in here...
damn skippy I'm an owner. I currently own a full .00001924537805515393 % of the Green Bay Packers.

I don't know if the Packers are going to resign him or not... but Cedric Benson was getting good yards after contact.
If Starks could stay healthy he's pretty physical as well.
The Bucs are rumored to be looking to trade RB LeGarrette Blount for a 5th... he's got problems, including fumbling and pass blocking and some attitude... but Ahman Green had the fumbling problem, blocking normally is teachable to big backs... and attitude... tell coach Greene he looked at his Wife the wrong way that will work it's self out
Now for the speed backs,
Harris looked good.
Green has the speed but injuries (including a knee one) and he doesn't know how to read blocking or be patient... he got better about being patient and waiting for the hole but then got the knee injury (which I don't know, is he expected to fully heal?) ...
But now I got a name for ya...
LaRod Stephens-Howling.... I think he might be the next Sproles.
After the other RBs got injured he got a shot this last year, and when there was a tiny crack of a hole or bigger, he looked pretty good (for what you would expect).
Give him a better OL (than the horrible Cards OL) and a passing game (that Cards didn't have) where teams can't target him, he might be Sproles, and Mike McCarthy could use him like he used Cobb last season and have Cobb out on WR routes, basically Cobb is the new Jennings and Stephens-Howling is the new behind the OL Cobb / Sproles.
In cover 2, the Safeties are deep. Get him to the second level and he'd make thing happen.
Though other teams might be interested... like the Pats. Lions and Saints.
Pats lost Danny Woodhead
Saints like that kind of RB
Lions wanted a guy like that, but might be less interested now they got Bush, but might be willing to sign another.

IMO Our runningback situation right now is possibly the worst in the league. Alex Green be it due to injury (recovering from the ACL) or inability cannot handle the load, he doesn't seem to be able to find the hole and hit, he can run off tackle and outside but he just doesn't seem to have "it" to me. Starks has a lot of promise but dude has never finished a full season cannot rely on that as a prominent feature for the offense. Harris gave us a bit of a spark and is a nice versatile fixture for the offense, however his short stature is likely not going to allow him to be any sort of featured back. Sane has potential but again health is a huge question mark, and we don't know how Benson is going to bounce back if we even bring him back.
This is the kind of situation that really pisses me off. Thompson has to see how terrible we've been in the run game and I really think the Oline gets a worse rap than it deserves in this subject. Forking out a little extra for a Pass Blocking, receiving, punishing runner like Jackson would have been justified in my point of view, but I'm not a GM so what can you do. Thompson is a great drafter and talent evaulator but the dude has done little to nothing in free agency since we brought Pickett and Woodson aboard, he's got to see that we need some help and when we have a chance to address something like that in FA, paying a little extra is not always a bad thing.

I like Blount, Although i do confess to have a man-crush on all big RBs. So my bias is defiantly showing. We all remember what he did to us...
Stevens-Howling and Woodhead may be better suited for passing teams like us, but we have a history of choosing RBs around 6-feet, and I think both those guys are smaller.

I've seen a lot of backs run in this game through my lifetime. I don't know when I have ever seen so much talent so terribly misused. Count me in the camp where play calling and poor coaching seem more the root cause of our rushing woes.
Despite that, we still improved last season, with major injuries decimating both the line and the RBs. I think that is a testament to the talent, as they were handled, coached all by the same crew, calling the same kinds of plays.
Yeah, the blocking seemed horrific, but a lot of that was poor coaching, even worse play calling, and poor play by Saturday.
Games where we gave up on the run we lost. Games where we committed to it we generally won. That makes our problems seem more a coaching issue.
I think our RBs are good. I think we may have more talent than we may realize on the OL. Reports were Datko was first round talent had he not injured hi shoulder.
A mauler C could be some big medicine in this draft.

I am firmly in the camp that that the Packers' offensive line is undertalented and that no running back -- not even Steven Jackson -- would look great behind it. I would far rather see Ted Thompson waste draft picks on offensive linemen until he finds someone who can manage to stay healthy before worrying about the running back. If this team rolls into camp with nothing more than Bryan Bulaga, Derek Sherrod (who reporters say is
limping), Marshall Newhouse, and Don Barclay at the tackle positions, I say Thompson is gambling with his job security.
That being said, the more I watch film (huzzah for NFL Game Rewind!), the more I am convinced that a lot of the offensive line woes we are seeing leaguewide are a product of the offensive schemes themselves. Basically, offensive linemen are simply being asked to do too much with the modern high-flying aerial attacks and the bodies in the trenches haven't adapted yet. I don't think it's a coincidence that a lot of the top offensive line prospects this year look more like oversized tight ends than traditional porkbellies, and indeed, many of them are converted tight ends. I think that is the wave of the future in the short term.
On the other hand, I also believe that the trend of pass-heavy offenses like the Packers, Patriots, Lions, and Saints is slowly peaking and may already be starting to reverse. Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, certain coaches like Bill Belichick and a little later, Mike McCarthy, realized that they had maximized the potential of the running game, which had not improved in efficiency in decades. They realized that the only way to increase offensive output was to mine the untapped riches of the passing game, and that is what they did. (I am ignoring recent rule changes here, since the schematic changes preceded the rule changes.) The coaches who jumped on this bandwagon the earliest benefited the most. Coaches who have tried to scramble on recently, like Mike Tice, have discovered that the wave is already passing them by.
Ever the visionary, Belichick realizes that the tide is turning and he is getting ahead of it. He has made some noticeable changes to his offensive scheme lately. Coaches like Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll have been even bolder. McCarthy has been slower to adapt this time around, and it's hurting the team. He is hardheaded and perhaps a bit idealistic. Year after year he trots out the same basic scheme and won't adjust until Aaron Rodgers is punch drunk around Week 10 or so. Then he begrudgingly makes changes and suddenly Rodgers is able to stay upright again.
Until the Packers make some needed schematic changes, the line is going to look worse than it probably is. It's overstressed and overtaxed. Rodgers also doesn't do it any favors with his insistence on looking for the deep man instead of the dumpoff at the marker. McCarthy needs to find a way to flood the middle lanes with receivers; it was ridiculous how many games the middle of the field was entirely empty with all eligible receivers along the sidelines.
When the offense can more consistently convert on third downs, a running back may start to look more effective.

Drake to headline Saturday night at Wireless Festival
Canadian rapper Drake has been confirmed as the Saturday night headliner at this year's Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park.
Other acts confirmed to take part on 7 July include Example, Wiz Khalifa and Professor Green.
Rihanna will headline the Sunday night of the festival with Jessie J, Labrinth and Calvin Harris also due to appear with Rizzle Kicks and Flux Pavilion.
The Black Eyed Peas, Pulp and the Chemical Brothers headlined last year.
Drake released his second album Take Care last year and is also touring the UK in March and April.
The rapper, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, made it into the top 10 of the Official Singles Chart last year with the title track from his record.
Rihanna sang on the song, their second collaboration together.
Example, who will perform on the Sunday afternoon of the festival, said: "This will be my fourth year in a row at Wireless. We must be doing something right.
"I feel like part of the furniture now. Over the years I've moved up from stage to stage and played bigger slots but I can honestly say every one of them was equally epic.
"Whether it was opening the main stage or closing one of the smaller tents the crowd was always packed and buzzing with energy.
"The backdrop of Hyde Park adds a certain air of heritage and great tradition to the whole event. I can't wait."
Tickets for this year's Wireless Festival go on sale at 10am on Friday 3 February.

Strange Fetishes & More
protective measuresEvery time before my girlfriend and I have sex, she always gives me oral to intensify the feeling and get me ready. But I'm worried that either some sperm may make its way to the base of my penis and get her pregnant, or if some gets on her hand and she is masturbating that the same thing could happen. I'm also worried that the same thing could happen if I touch my penis, and some pre-come gets on my hand before I finger her. She's on the pill and we also use condoms to prevent pregnancy.
Hi David,
There is indeed a possibility of impregnating a girl with pre-seminal fluid in the manner that you describe. But the risks of doing so are minimal — and in your case, given that your girlfriend is on the pill, they are almost nonexistent. It seems that you have taken sufficient steps to prevent unwanted pregnancy. In fact, some might consider the doubling up of contraceptives (as you have done with the pill and condoms) to be a bit excessive.

a step to the rearMy girlfriend and I have been dating for two years now. We have no STDs and we have had sex a couple of times. We were planning to have anal sex. But that's where the questions come in. Will we get a disease even though we are both healthy? If I ejaculate in her through the anal passage, will she get pregnant? Also, is it OK if I don't use a condom? It is really important that I know before we take that extra step.
If neither you nor your girlfriend has a disease to transmit, there is no possibility of either one of you becoming infected. And you can't impregnate her through her anus. In this light, a condom isn't strictly necessary — although its lubricating qualities will certainly minimize the potential damage to her rectal tissues.
Nevertheless, Kazuya, the wording of your letter suggests to me that you and your girlfriend are feeling some kind of urgency to move into anal experimentation. And while there's no reason that you shouldn't proceed if you are both comfortable with doing so, you may find there's still plenty about vaginal sex left to enjoy — particularly if you have only had sex "a couple of times."

disturbing dreamsLately, I have been having weird dreams about sexual acts. I have also started a renewal of a past relationship with one of my ex-girlfriends. When we were together the first time, things were great sexually. She would do everything to please me and I would do the same in return. We even had our public display of adult relations on the back deck of her parents' house which was only about 20 feet from a golf course and there were golfers on the course at the time. One of the best oral experiences I had ever received from her was then, knowing they could have been watching us in all our glory exposed fully.
Well, now I am finding myself dreaming of having her and her having me but with a twist. I am constantly seeing another man joining in on our lovemaking. Sometimes there is also another woman who joins in with him, but it is usually just the other man. This man will want to give me oral pleasure and also wants to have me enter him from behind. What I find overly weird is that in my dreams I am complying with him and my girlfriend helps out as well.
I am 100% aware of my sexuality or I would never have let my girlfriend pleasure me orally while being exposed to the golfers. I am concerned with what these dream might mean and why I keep having them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Hal,
As you well know, dreams are typically not to be taken at face value. So the events that transpire therein are not necessarily reflections of your personality, or some kind of repressed desires. The homosexual encounters that you describe could simply be extensions of an insecurity that you're feeling in regards to your real-life heterosexual relationships — or it could have any number of other meanings (or none at all!). Have a look at this "Decoding Erotic Dreams" article, which should clarify the function and meanings of some of the more common nighttime unconscious encounters.

Re: Sallie Mae: Private loan help
I'm guessing, based on the post that you chose, that you have private loans. Unfortunately, your options with private loans are pretty limited, and you won't get very far reporting Sallie Mae to regulatory agencies just because they're asking you to pay the loan that you took out. Unless you think they've violated the terms of your loan agreement, your only real option is going to be finding some way to start paying down these loans.
Have you called Sallie Mae and asked about any other options? Have you started considering changes you can make in your life (decrease expenses, and increase income) to make ends meet? If you give us some more information about your specific situation, we can all try to give you some more help.

NEW HOPE, Ala. (AP) - A 25-year-old woman who called 911 about a
chemical burn unintentionally revealed the location of a methamphetamine lab.
Niki Hornbuckle was taken to Huntsville Hospital with non-life
threatening burns from muratic acid and lye.
Madison County Sheriff's Investigator Chad Brooks said deputies
searched the home and found an active meth lab.
Investigators believe Hornbuckle burned her arm after pulling a
hose from a jug used to cook the drug.
Investigators charged 20-year-old James Love, 34-year-old Rickey
Lewis, 44-year-old James Bolton and 33-year-old Shawn Allen with
manufacturing of methamphetamine.
They are in the county jail on $500,000 bonds.
Brooks said Hornbuckle will also face charges. It was not clear if the suspects had a lawyer.

The $5,000 mixed hold 'em Event No. 5 from the 2008 WSOP will be broadcast Tuesday night. The format is an amalgam of limit and no-limit that drew an elite field of 332, resulting in a star-studded finale that saw the last nine standing play for a cool $374,505. You'll see a remarkable collection of players going for more than the money -- they're going for the gold.
I won't discuss the results, but this table had a little of everything: online geniuses (Andrew Robl, Isaac Haxton), a European star (Roland de Wolfe), representatives of the old guard (Howard Lederer) and the new (David Williams, Justin Bonomo), and an introduction to one of the November Nine (Chino Rheem). On top of it all, though, one simple, ongoing story line lingered heading into the broadcast portion of the event: Erick Lindgren's search for his elusive first bracelet.
Lindgren was born in Burney, Calif., and seemed destined for this poker life. Once dreams of a professional basketball career were dashed by the realities of mere athletic mortality, Lindgren took to the tables. He first discovered blackjack, then discovered the follies of blackjack, then discovered the advantages of being the house in blackjack. That was enough to fuel his initial forays into poker at age 19.
Lindgren's real poker education began at California's Casino San Pablo when he was 21. There, he took a job as a prop player, being paid to play at whichever tables needed players to help them get going. That experience gave him two gifts that serve him well to this day -- an education in all games and the early stages of adulthood-long friendships with the likes of tournament regulars Matt Lefkowitz, Bill Edler and the Keikoan brothers, Matt and Todd.
As Lindgren became entwined in the game, the relationships blossomed. "I was actually a couple of years behind [Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Allen Cunningham, John Juanda]," Lindgren said. "They were playing every single tournament at the Commerce, and they were into the tournaments. I was playing more of the cash games. Then, guys like Gavin Smith started coming up at the same time, and I got more into tournaments because of that."
Those friendships furnished Lindgren with the opportunity to constantly talk shop with some of the sharpest young minds in the game. It wasn't a one-way street, but Lindgren was giving back something else in addition to the ongoing dialogue. He was providing the base for a dozen semicommunities and the fuel to keep them thriving.
In response to the question, "What draws people to Erick Lindgren?" Smith responded, "[Lindgren is] fun to hang with, generous, loyal and a terrible gambler."
Keeping his friends in action is part of what makes Lindgren such a central figure in the professional poker community. He's constantly on the lookout for new talent, constantly offering people who couldn't otherwise manage the support needed to make a run at playing for a living.
"I don't know if it's a good investment, but it gives everyone a good chance to make the same inroads that I was given a chance to make," Lindgren said. "It keeps my friends close and gives me a tremendous sweat whenever they have a lot of chips."
It's a communal approach to an often selfish game that has allowed Lindgren to have so many relationships while so many of his peers have so few. Those relationships have paid him back in spades. With his status as one of FullTiltPoker's original poster boys, his assumed invitations to poker's most prestigious invite-only events and a constant stream of friendships, his cheering section is one of the most motivated in the game.
As much as the mutual support of his friendships, his skill, his charisma and his gamble are factors in his making for good television, the bracelet question is a big part of what keeps us coming back. Lindgren, has won two World Poker Tour titles and countless other tournaments, and he's also won millions of dollars in cash games. But more than once, he has come tantalizingly close to earning his first bracelet, but has fallen just short.
Lindgren feels that what makes him a likable character is not his lack of a victory; rather, it's his constant will to get back up off the canvas.
"I think the people in the poker media see that I really put in the effort and that I've come really close," he said. "I think it's easy to cheer for a guy that tries hard and keeps coming close. That, and I'm not normally mean to people. I'm a relatively easy guy to root for because I get along with everybody."
His frends agree. Ask Edler or Smith or Chris Bell or any of his friends, and their answers come back with genuine affection.
"In a world of unique individuals [in tournament poker], Erick is truly special," Edler said. "His super-logical mind sets him apart on the felt, and his big heart and charisma attract all who meet him away from the tables."
Lindgren had a lot of incentive to win heading into the final table you'll see Tuesday night. Money, glory and especially getting off those "best players to have never won a bracelet" lists. He has the desire to honor Chip Reese's memory and a bracelet bet for a reported six-figure amount with Phil Ivey. You'll see Lindgren play eight very tough players, but understand that many more were trying to will him to victory. Tune in to see if they were successful.
Event 3 airs on Tuesday, Aug. 5, from 8-10 p.m. Complete TV information.
Gary Wise is a regular contributor to ESPN.com. You can read more of his poker observations in his blog here.

Law to crack down on drinking and boating
WILLISTON The Vermont State Police Marine Division and two other law enforcement agencies are going to be cracking down on intoxicated boating this weekend.
The state police, the Grand Isle Sheriffs Department and the Colchester Police Marine Unit will be participating in Operation Dry Water as part of a nationally coordinated effort to reduce the number of accidents caused by operators who are under the influence of alcohol.
This weekends operation will focus on Lake Champlain, but state police officers will be working on other bodies of water as well.
It will include increased patrols, breathalyzer tests, and checkpoints as well as boater education.
Police say impaired boaters can expect to be arrested or face other serious penalties, including the possibility of fines, jail or loss of boating privileges.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON As part of a federal effort to dismantle drug trafficking organizations in Vermont,...

Malaysia have joined the long list of countries vying to host soccer's 2019 Asian Cup.
Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) leaders made the decision at a executive committee meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
Bahrain, China, Iran, Kuwait, Lebanon, Myanmar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates have all expressed interest in hosting the region's premier international tournament won for a record fourth time by Japan in 2011.
"We have the infrastructure and the blessings of the Sports Ministry to host the tournament," FAM general secretary Azzuddin Ahmad told reporters late on Wednesday.
"Our national team will also get a spot in the tournament if we host it...so, it will be good for Malaysian football.
"AFC will call the bidding nations for a workshop. The bidding documents must be sent in by June."
The winning bid will be decided next year.
Malaysia jointly hosted the 2004 tournament with Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam but the event was criticised for being a logistical nightmare with then AFC president Mohamed Bin Hammam saying that was the last time there would be multiple hosts.
Australia will host the 2015 edition of the 16-team tournament after they were the only country to bid for the rights despite the Asian Football Confederation delaying the deadline for bids to encourage competition.

When an iPad is "not charging" and is not sleeping, is it still drawing power from the USB port so it doesn't drain or at least drain slower?
Yes. It's just that the power it's drawing is not enough to both run the device and charge the battery at the same time.

Anyone here ever buy a PC case that did not come with mounting brackets for the DVD drive? I bought a barebones DVD drive (Lite-On) and a case (Antec Sonata III 500). The case came with nice mounting brackets for the hard drives, but none apparently for the optical drive bays. Has anyone else experienced this? Would it be possible to purchase these anywhere if this is common? I tried some mounting brackets from another Antec case I own and they don't appear to fit.
A case I bought a while back had the mounting brackets inside the removable bay covers. Not sure how common that practice is, but I'd take a close look at your case before assuming they're missing. Otherwise, I'd be surprised if you could get them from anyone except the manufacturer. There should be an 800 number or web address in your documentation somewhere that you can call or visit for support; that would be where I'd start.
The manual seems to indicate that you don't actually screw in 5¼" devices, but rather snap them in place. Compare the installation instructions (p 10) for 5¼" drives to 3½" drives:
Also, the parts list on page five specifically has no mention of 5¼" brackets.
Finally, notice from the images of the case that are no screw-holes or bracket slots in the 5¼" cage:

Private Cloud: Putting some method behind the madness
By Sudip Datta-Oracle on Oct 09, 2012
Finally, I decided to join the blogging community. And what could be a better time to start than the week after OpenWorld 2012. 50K+ attendees, demonstrations, speaker sessions and a whole lot of buzz on Oracle Cloud..It was raining clouds in this year's Openworld. I am not here to write about Oracle's cloud strategy in general, but on Enterprise Manager's cloud management capabilities. This year's Openworld was the first after we announced the 12c Cloud Control and we were happy to share the stage with quite a few early adopters. Stay tuned for videos from our customers and partners, I will post them as they get published.
I met a number of platform administrators in Oracle-DBAs, Middleware Admins, SOA Admins...The cloud has affected them all, at least to the point where it beckoned more than just curiosity..Most IT infrastructure are already heavily virtualized (on VMWare and on others including Oracle VM), and some would claim they are already on "cloud" (at least their Sysadmins told them so). But none of them were confident of the benefits because their pain points continued to grow.. Isn't cloud supposed to ease those? Instead, they were chasing hundreds of databases running on hundreds of VMs, often with as much certainty propounded by Heisenberg. What happened to the age-old IT discipline around administration, compliance, configuration management?
VMs are great for what they are. I personally think they have opened the doors to new approaches in which an application stack gets provisioned and updated. In fact, Enterprise Manager 12c is possibly the only tool out there that can provision full-fledged application as VM Assemblies. In this year's Openworld, customers talked on how they provisioned RAC and Siebel assemblies, which as the techies out there know, are not trivial (hearing provisioning time for Siebel down from weeks to hours was gratifying indeed). However, I do have an issue with a "one-size fits all" approach to cloud. In a week's span, I met several personas:
Project owners requiring an EC2 like VM instance for their projects
Admins needing the same for Sparc-Solaris.
DBAs requiring dedicated databases for new projects
APEX Developers needing just a ready-to-consume schema as a service
Java Developers looking for a runtime platform
QA engineers needing a fast clone of their production environment
If you drill down further, you will end up peeling more layers of the details. For example, the requirements for Load testing and Functional testing are very different. For Load testing the test environment should ideally be the same as the production. You shouldn't run production on Exadata and load test on a VM; they will just not be good representations of one another. For Functional testing it does not possibly matter.
DBAs seem to be at the worst affected of the lot. It seems they have been asked to choose between agile provisioning and faster runtime performance. And in some cases, it is really a Hobson's choice, because their infrastructure provider made no distinction between the OLTP application and the Virtual desktop! Sad indeed.
When one looks at the portfolio of services that we already offer (vanilla IaaS, VM Assembly based PaaS, DBaaS) or have announced (Java PaaS, Instant Cloning, Schema-aaS), one can possibly think that we are trying to be the "renaissance man" ! Well I would have possibly digested that had it not been for the various personas that I described above.
Getting the use cases right is very important for an application such as cloud management. We iterate and iterate over these over and over again and re-validate them in CABs (Customer Advisory Boards). We consider over the major aspects of tenancy: service placement, resource isolation (can a tenant execute an expensive SQL and run away with all the resources), quota and security. We, in Engineering, keep reminding ourselves that we are dealing with enterprise clouds. We owe it to our customer base !
In the coming posts, I will drill down more into each of the services. In the meanwhile, here are some collateral and demos for starters with EM 12c.

Forrester Consulting: Oracle Real Application Testing Delivers 224% ROI
By Scott Mcneil-Oracle on May 14, 2012
Leading analyst firm, Forrester Consulting has recently published a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) Study for Oracle Real Application Testing, an Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition option. In the study Forrester Consulting found that Oracle Real Application Testing delivered a very favorable 224% return on investment (ROI), based on a three year risk-adjusted period with a payback of 5.9 months.
Forrester Consulting's TEI results were calculated from in-depth interviews with Oracle customers and applied to a hypothetical organization developed within their TEI financial model. The study measured both the benefits and cost savings in areas around planned and unplanned maintenance, infrastructure upgrades and database performance management. The study also looked at the benefits of Oracle Real Application Testing to enhance business system uptime as well as reducing capital expenditure.
The study concluded that organizations similar to those interviewed could achieve the following benefits and cost savings (all figures are risk-adjusted, over three years):
Oracle Real Application Testing along with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c continues to provide industry leading database management solutions that help customers reduce testing efforts and related costs while eliminating the risks associated with change.

Where to Celebrate Bastille Day in NYC
Celebrate French independence at Le District, Il Buco Alimentari, Amorino, and more.
Celebrate French independence at Le District, Il Buco Alimentari, Amorino, and more.
Pine-nut pie! Date-caramel bread!
Properly deploy a few key techniques and you can have a drunken blast with your family (instead of hearing about your uncle's knee surgery, yet again).
It's better than eggnog, dead simple to make, and a guaranteed ticket to social-gathering micro fame.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime holiday.
It's a hot-dog holiday!
It may be raining, but we have a few ideas.
Important advice!
The restaurant will introduce house-made corned beef sandwiches and a new cocktail called the Shillelagh.
They've been selling out fast each day.
A bunch of S.F. places are doing it up right.
Book your tables for NYE before it's 2013.
First of all, why do you only by Champagne and sparky stuff when you're heading to a New Year's Eve party?
Were you aware that KFC is huge in Japan on Christmas Day?
Also, they're doing special holiday cocktails at the Hideout at Dalva.
Wait til you hear the description.
Where the miniature Crawleys at?
It'll make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
It's an annual series at the historic resort.
They'll reopen December 27, after some light repainting and such.

All of Taiwan's French-made Mirage 2000 fighter jets were grounded for safety checks Monday after one of the aircraft crashed into the sea off the island's northwestern coast earlier in the day, the island's military said.
The Defense Ministry, in a statement, said the accident took place at 10:18 a.m., 24 minutes after the jet took off from an air base in the city of Hsinchu.
The two pilots managed to eject safely. They were retrieved by an Air Force rescue team at 11:32 a.m. and taken to hospital for evaluation.
The accident is under investigation.
Taiwan has 60 Mirage 2000 fighters, which along with U.S.-made F-16 jet fighters and locally developed defense fighters form the backbone of the island's second generation warplane fleet.

Released: Jul 01st, 2000
Running Time: 73
Director: Jerome Tanner
Company: Legend Video
Cast: Lexington Steele, Evan Stone, Kyle Stone (straight), Gwen Summers, Mark Davis, Dayton Raines, Bunny Luv, Jessica Drake, Lola (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
For couples who like good-looking sex and not too much story.
For a while, we weren't sure if there'd be enough story in this feature to keep it out of the wall-to-wall section. Fortunately, there is, even if the plot's a bit thin. Seems all the female cast live in the same trailer, and their plans to upgrade their condition rests on finding suitably rich guys to marry. So how do they go about it? They masquerade as nurses collecting semen samples for the sperm bank... which is as good a way as any to get the sex rolling in an XXX feature.
Best of show has to be Gwen Summers trying to pump prison guard Lexington Steele for his spoo. The sight of the tiny redhead standing next to the massive Steele is engaging enough, and when he lifts her up and turns her upside down so she can suck on his cock while he eats her out, cocks will be jumping to attention all over viewer-land. Top it off with two cowgirl positions, and porn doesn't get much better than that. Also worth a mention is the Jessica Drake/Evan Stone scene, with three positions before the facial.

I will be a FTM and I'm a little worried about how supportive my DH is going to be during labor.Ā He is totally against us trying to have a homebirth or using the birthing center.Ā I did get him on board with us using the midwives from the birth center but at the hospital.Ā I'm just afraid that once there he'll not be educated enough to question what the nurses might try to get me to do when the midwife is not around.Ā Or that he won't be helpful if I start to doubt myself and will encourage me to get medical pain relief instead of helping me cope in other ways.
I want him to read one of the labor support books like The Birth Partner by Penny Simkin or maybe one of the Bradley books.Ā When I mentioned to him that he could read it on his kindle but I would also want to get the physical book (since I hear there are good visuals to these books that don't come through on electronic versions), he said "oh, you want me to read a text book".Ā So I'm trying to figure out which one of these kind of books will be easiest from him to read.Ā I'm sure he'll read whatever I suggest, I just don't think he's totally on board with the NUCB thing so I don't want to give him any reason to make our conversations more stressful by giving him something difficult to read.
I also want to get the book for my mom and MIL to read since I may just get too frustrated with DH during labor if he's not being supportive, and also DH has some panic attack issues and I want to have back up people ready to go if that comes into play.
Any suggestions?

Single crystals of CdZnTe of dimensions 10 times 10 times 3 mm3 and HgI2 of dimensions 10 times 10 times 2 mm3 were fabricated into planar detectors. Four sets of detectors were then exposed to simulated solar proton events of varying magnitude at the Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut in the Netherlands. Events were simulated by generating protons over the energy range 60 MeV to 200 MeV in 10 energy bands which approximated the spectral shape of the August 1972 solar particle event. One pair of detectors (a CdZnTe and a HgI2) was exposed to an integral fluence of 108 protons cm-2, a second to 109 protons cm-2, a third to 1010 protons cm-2 and the fourth to 1011 protons cm-2. The latter corresponds to an absorbed dose in silicon of 100 krad or in SI units, 1 kGy. The detectors were characterized both before and after the irradiations in terms of background count rate and spectral performance using 55Fe, 109Cd, 241Am, 57Co and 137Cs radioactive sources. Typical pre-irradiation FWHM energy resolutions of 3 keV and 4 keV were recorded at 60 keV for the CdZnTe and HgI2 detectors, respectively. It was found that HgI2 is very radiation tolerant showing little degradation in energy resolution or charge collection efficiency (CCE) for input fluences up to 1011 protons cm-2. CdZnTe, on the other hand, showed a clear degradation in energy resolution and CCE for input fluences above 109 protons cm-2. For example, the energy resolution degraded by a factor of 3 between 109 and 1010 protons cm-2 while the CCE decreased by a factor of 2.

Morgan Park High School is a public four-year high school and academic center located in the Morgan Park neighborhood on the far–south side of Chicago, Illinois, United States at the intersection of 111th Street and Vincennes Avenue (11100 South and 1700 West). Morgan Park opened its doors on its current site in 1916. Morgan Park is a part of the Chicago Public Schools district.
The school began in 1916 with 283 students. By the 1970s, the student population had grown to over 3,300, though the enrollment has decreased since then. In 1934, over two thousand Morgan Park students went on strike, protesting overcrowded conditions[5] and the presence of African-American students in school classes, leaving only one hundred and forty students in class. Parents had met with the school superintendent demanding that classes be kept segregated.[6] Eventually the strike was settled and the white students returned to the integrated school. Segregation became an issue again in 1945 when students at the school circulated a petition to have a separate building built for black students.[7] Frank Sinatra visited the area to support integration during the strike and encourage the students to return to the school.[8]
In 1983, Morgan Park High School instituted a World Language and International Baccalaureate Studies Program that also allows students to enroll from outside the school's attendance area. The addition of a 7th and 8th grade Academic Center component allows advanced level students to begin earning high school credits and to study languages before 9th grade. Morgan Park High School offers both the IB Middle Years Programme and the IB Diploma Programme, and has been an International Baccalaureate Organization member school since 1999.[9] Morgan Park was one of 11 schools nationwide selected by the College Board for inclusion in the EXCELerator "School Improvement Model" program beginning the 2006-2007 school year. The project was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
