Since Nick Cannon's sudden split with America's Got Talent, they were in need of a new host fast. Tyra Banks will be hosting the upcoming season of AGT.
"Since I was a little girl, I've been obsessed with grandiose acts and performers who make the seemingly impossible possible," she says. "I love how AGT brings that feeling into everyone's home, capturing the best of people who come out and give it their all to make those big, fierce and outrageous dreams come true."
Marlon Wayans was actually being considered for the position also. I wonder what made them choose Tyra.

This article originally appeared on my About.com site, but since book reviews tend to show an underwhelming long-term performance there, I'm going to be gradually migrating some of them over here instead. I thought I'd kick things off with one of my favorite reviews, of a book by one of my favorite people, Kris Bradley, also known as Mrs. B.
If you were familiar with Kris' blog, Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom, that she ran up until 2013, you know that she spent a lot of time encouraging readers to find the magical in the mundane, and to look for the spiritual in everyday things around the house. By bringing magic and the divine into your home, you can find a brand new way to look at your practice – and that, in turn, translates into so much potential for witchery around the house!
Mrs. B launches right in, and the first chapter of Mrs B's Guide to Household Witchery focuses on making the mundane magical, by taking a quick room-by-room tour of your home, starting with your very own front door. Ever think about hanging a protection bag over your stoop? How about sprinkling salt across the windowsills? The living room, laundry room, and especially the kitchen can all be magical places, and Kris offers tips on how to specialize the magic in each of these areas. Bonus area? Adult bedrooms can be a place of all kinds of sexy magical shenanigans!
The second chapter addresses the four classical elements of earth, air, fire and water, and how they can be applied in a domestic setting. Balance in the home is important, and it's useful to figure out what sort of energy a room has in it already, in addition to what sort of energy you'd like to have there. By using household items such as houseplants and modeling clay, windchimes and ceiling fans, lava lamps and hot plates, or coffee pots and fish tanks, you can incorporate the elements and their energies into any room.
One of my favorite chapters, by far, is the one on Household Guardian Spirits. While I realize that not every practicing Pagan incorporates household guardians, for those of us who do, this section comes in very handy. There's a review of some of the many domestic spirits found in a variety of cultures, including many you've probably never heard of.
The next section focuses on magical recipes – and anyone who's hung out over on About Paganism for any length of time knows I'm a big fan of mixing up some kitchen magic! With a combination of herbal blends, incense and oil mixes, and even a house wash, there' s a little bit of something for every domestic goddess (or god) in this part of the book. The witches' herbal is useful as well, as a basic primer for those who are just beginning to delve into the use of herbal magic.
Finally, Kris wraps things up with some simple sabbat celebrations for those of us who are just plain busy. Got just a few minutes to spare? Celebrate five minutes alone, or a small group ritual for Samhain, Yule or the other Pagan holidays.
Mrs B's Guide to Household Witchery is a very back-to-basics approach to modern domestic witchcraft. Kris shows that you can drop all the trappings, forget about the fancy commercially-bought tools and gizmos you have, and just do as our ancestors once did – use what's handy and use it wisely. Take advantage of the natural magical energies of your home, and celebrate the space you're living in.
Things I'd like to see in a follow up book? More household craft projects, and more in-depth ideas about incorporating magic into day-to-day practices like cooking, cleaning, and organizing the home. On the whole, Mrs B's Guide to Household Witchery is a great book for those who are just beginning to explore their domestic witchery options, and a good refresher for those of us who have been doing it for a while and needed a bit of a reminder on how to turn the mundane into magic. I'll give it 9.5 broomsticks out of ten!

Living More With Less
In this age of hustle and bustle, it can be difficult to make time for oneself and have fulfilling experiences. Because it is often easier and more accessible than taking time off work for a vacation, or saying no to social obligations and having a quiet evening to yourself, people often turn to material items to feel they are treating themselves. But is this a reasonable approach?
There are a growing number of people who would argue against this lifestyle that many of us have quite literally bought into. So how does one break away from the cycle that seems to be at the center of society?
SEE ALSO: The Meaning Of Om Mani Padme Hum
Step Back
Examine your spending. Become more conscious about your purchases. Does the product actually add to your life? Does it increase your happiness or improve your health? What are its ecological and societal impacts?
You may find that you tend to impulse buy during periods of stress, or that the manufacturing practices of some of your favorite brands make you uncomfortable. Examining your consuming habits can change how often you make purchases or the types of companies to whom you want to give your money. Where and what you spend your money on should make you feel good and add something to your life. If it doesn't, your money is likely better off elsewhere.
Let Go
We all have at least a handful of household items that we don't use. If you can't remember the last time you wore a piece of clothing, its time it left your closet. If you have unopened cosmetics, toiletry items, etc. that you haven't used for a few months, it may be time to hand them off to a friend or relative before they expire and end up in a landfill.
Try posting items on your city's Freecycle page, or nicer items on Facebook for friends to call dibs on. Letting go should mean recycling, donating, or reusing. The process of downsizing your material life to expand your personal growth should be respectful of the earth. Avoid simply throwing away items if possible.
Set Goals and Make Plans
I find myself spending less on material goods when I have planned adventures for myself. If I know I need to save for an upcoming experience, I am far less likely to buy goods I don't need. By planning trips or setting goals for yourself related to your finances, you will fine tune your spending to meet your needs. Studies have significantly shown that experiences increase happiness where material goods do not.
If you find that it is difficult to take the time off for adventures, ask yourself: am I working to live, or living to work? Are you working and shopping, without leaving yourself any financial freedom?
Keep The Good Stuff
If you have certain items that you really like, keep them! As long as it is something you use, it has a place in your home. Reduce your wardrobe to items you frequently wear, and enjoy wearing them! If you have a piece you love but it just doesn't fit quite right, consider taking it to a tailor rather than buying a whole new product. Donate any cookware and storage items in your kitchen you don't use.
Having less means having what you like and maintaining what you have. Be mindful you are not putting emotional attachment into products you do not use; I'm facing down a pile of t-shirts in my closet from a college job I loved, but that I don't have a reason wear at this point in my life. Instead of adding to my life, they are just taking up space! Make sure every item has a place, but remember that every place does not need an item.
While you detach from your clutter, you may find freedom in reducing your consumption. Rather than spending your day off at the mall, you can catch up with a friend or have time to sleep in with your partner. You may also find yourself suddenly realizing the consumer culture that has infiltrated our daily lives: impersonal conversations about frivolous items a person wants, or someone deciding if a product accurately portrays their sense of being.
Your Being Lies In What You Do, Not What You Own
Reducing your ownership and consumption has profound impacts. While some would turn up their nose at my 260-square foot apartment that I share with my boyfriend and my cat, I could never imagine not having the financial freedom to travel the world as I do now. As I try to reduce my impact on the environment and make healthier choices for myself, I naturally gravitate towards local businesses and am more engaged with my community. Giving up material attachments is not a punishment, but rather a weight that is lifted.

RAHZEL with FMRADIO + ATTIC TAPES. at Silk City
Wed · April 5, 2017
Doors: 9:00 pm / Show: 9:00 pmSilk City Diner
$10- $15
This event is 21 and overhttps://silkcityphilly.ticketfly.com/event/1443945/
The undisputed "Godfather of Noyze" has re-defined the beat box. A self-defined "vocal percussionist," Rahzel (rhymes with 'gazelle') has perfectly mastered this quintessential hip hop art form and has emerged as a "true virtuoso." To hear him is to be converted. Billboard Magazine proclaims : "Everyone should experience his fascinating rhythms…using just his lips, cheeks, gums, and Adam's apple he (recreates), with amazing accuracy and detail, tracks from the magic mixing desks of Pete Rock…and others." His mockery of instruments/arcade of sounds leaves audiences captivated, wondering "is he for real?" Rahzel is best known as a member of The Roots, hip hop's cutting-edge live band. Over the past several years he has emerged as the one to watch. His eagerly anticipated debut album on MCA Records, entitled The Fifth Element: Make the Music 2000 boasts guest performances by Aaron Hall, Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest on "To The Beat," and Black Thought of The Roots on the R&B flavored "Suga Sista." Brandford Marsalis and Me'Shell N'Degeocello guest star on the psychedelic jazz/funky track "My Soul" and Pete Rock lends his production skills on the first single, "All I Know." Rahzel's band mates The Roots also produced and performed on several tracks on The Fifth Element: Make the Music 2000. The project is drenched with an urban eclectic edge/uniqueness that rejects categorization. A collage of almost every musical genre, it is well-positioned for classicism. A glance at Rahzel's musical influences speaks to his appreciation for the art of making music. He draws from the line of Doug E. Fresh/Biz Markie, of Bobby McFerrin, and of Al Jarreau.

EMC and NetApp are having a little fun with each other to help cure cancer
I read this on the net tonight and thought it was an awesome idea.
A friend and colleague at NetApp let me know they were doing a drive for St. Baldricks – a campaign where people shave their heads to help raise funds for fighting cancer in children. So, in the spirit of competition driving positive things and staying above the fray, we made a little wager.
If they can crack $10K before mid-day tomorrow, my NetApp brothers will shave "EMC" into their heads – as of this moment, they have raised $3,600 from EMCers.
So in the spirit of fanning the flames, I'm posting a link to it. So it you work for EMC or NetApp (or know someone who does) hit the link and donate, donate, donate.
SQL 2008 R2 is pricy, but so is that other database.
There's a lot of talk about the new SQL Server 2008 R2 pricing. To give you an idea of why people are complaining…
(Keep in mind that all prices on this page a CPU licensing.)
|Data Center
Now you are getting a lot of new features in SQL 2008 R2 over what was included in SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008. However these prices are quite high, especially on the lower end when you compare them to the other database, you know, Oracle.
|Standard One
|Oracle 11g
|Difference from SQL 2008
Now you'll notice that I didn't compare Oracle's Standard Edition One to a SQL Server edition. There isn't really a SQL Server edition that compares with this edition as it falls somewhere between the Workgroup and Standard editions. It is lower than the SQL Server Standard edition as it only supports two CPUs, but it is better that the SQL Server Workgroup edition as it supports as much RAM as the SQL Server supports.
Now when it comes to features SQL Server is going to be the clear winner. SQL Server includes things like Replication, Auditing, and so on. As best I can tell (god knows I'm not an Oracle expert) these features aren't available as part of the non-Enterprise editions of Oracle. And if you want them on Oracle you had better be able to pay for them.
A few of the extras that you can buy for your Enterprise edition Oracle server include:
Advanced Data Compression – $10,000 per CPU
Advanced Security – $10,000 per CPU
OLAP – $20,000 per CPU
If you want to connect your Oracle database to another database platform, that'll cost you as well. As best as I can figure this is basically Oracle's version of linked servers. (These prices are per database server not CPU.)
SQL Server access – $15,000
Sybase access – $15,000
Informix access – $15,000
Teradata access – $95,000
Websphere MQ – $40,000
Now Oracle doesn't have a data center edition or a Parallel Data Warehouse Edition so there's really no way to directly compare Oracle to SQL Server Datacenter edition or Parallel Data Warehouse Editio. To get close we have to take the Oracle Enterprise Edition at $40,000, add in Partitioning at $10,000, and add in RAC (Real Application Clusters) at $20,000 for $70,000.
Now when dealing with the Oracle Enterprise edition you have to keep in mind that you aren't paying per socket (Oracle licenses the Standard and Standard One editions per socket) but you are paying per CPU core. According with the Oracle Pricing Book if you are using SPARC multi-core processors then each core is charged at .75 CPUs for each CPU core, and if you are using x86 or x64 multi-core processors then each core is charged at .5 CPUs for each CPU cores.
So if you have a quad chip quad core server, which is a pretty standard database server these days, that's 16 cores, so you are paying for a total of 8 CPU licenses. Assuming that you have Enterprise Edition with no optional features that is a $320,000 in license fees. SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition comes out at $229,992 which makes SQL Server 2008 R2 $90,008 less for that server.
Now, on the lower end database server side Oracle is going to start to win on price. If you need a dual chip SQL Server you'll probably want the Standard Edition (otherwise you are limited to 4 Gigs of RAM). SQL Standard for two CPUs will come out to $14,998 for the server, but the Oracle Standard One comes out to $9,990 making Oracle $5,008 less that SQL Server. Now if your database server needs four CPUs then Oracle Standard Edition will come in at $60,000 where the SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition will come in at $29,996 making the SQL Server license $30,004 less expensive. Apparently Oracle standard doesn't support more than 2 CPUs based on the information put in the comments below. But with the 6 core CPUs out and the 8 core CPUs coming out soon having a 2 socket server is probably going to become a more and more popular option.
I think that if Microsoft is going to keep the Standard edition pricing where it is, they should increase, or remove the memory limit of the Workgroup edition so that it is a better competitor with the Oracle Standard Edition One product. With the memory limit removed from the Workgroup edition the Workgroup edition would be superior than the Oracle Standard Edition One as the SQL Server Workgroup edition would will on features.
P.S. All prices are based on posted list prices as announced by Microsoft as the SQL PASS summit, or from the Oracle Pricing Book. These should be considered list prices and if you pay these prices for either product you aren't trying hard enough to get a discount.
UPDATE: I've corrected the Oracle pricing and commented out the information about the quad chip Standard Oracle Server as apparently a quad chip Oracle server requires Enterprise Edition.
My Slide decks SQL Saturday 33 (#sqlsat33)
I presented three sessions at SQL Saturday 33 this last weekend. Here are the slide decks and sample code that I used during my presentations.
SQL Server Service Broker in the Real World
It was great presenting this weekend.
Oh man, someone put my blog posts on TechNet… #tnSqlDC
Yep, that's right, someone over at Microsoft has gone completely crazy and syndicated not just my blog but my Tweets as well over on the technet.microsoft.com site. Continued »
IO, IO, It's Off To Disk We Go! #TSQL2sDay
So today is #TSQL2sDay, and this months topic is Disk IO. Storage is something I love working in, so I figured why not, I'll post something.
Hopefully everyone knows that your storage solution is the most critical when it comes to keeping your database up and running day after day. If your databases are two slow, then your database will be slow and there just isn't anything you can do about that besides adding more disks to the storage system.
However figuring out that the problem is actually slow disks can be a problem in itself, especially if you work in a large company and don't have access to the servers themselves or the storage array that is hosting the databases.
Within SQL
Within SQL Server you have a couple of places you can look. The easiest is to look at the sys.dm_io_pending_io_requests DMV. If you have a lot of rows being returned that say that the IO is pending then you may have a problem as SQL may be trying to push more IO than your storage solution can handle.
Another DMV you can look at is the sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats DMV. This will tell you how many IO requests have been processed since the instance was started, as well as how many of those requests were stalled when writing them. Using these numbers requires doing some math to see how your doing over the current runtime of the instance. As the instance has been up for longer and longer these numbers can get harder and harder to make sense of.
Within Windows
Within Windows you'll be using our good friend Performance Monitor to see what's going on. There's a few counters which are really critical to looking at. They include the Reads and Writes per second, the seconds per read and write, and the queuing counters.
The reads and writes per second will tell you how many requests are going between the server and the disks per second. If these numbers are very high and stay there they you are pushing the disks very hard. If this is the case, stop here, and make sure that you don't have any indexes that need to be built, and that all your statistics are up to date.
The seconds per read and write are very critical numbers. This tells us how fast the disks are processing each read and write request. These numbers should be very very low, somewhere in the .00n range with the smaller the number the better. If you are seeing numbers which are higher than .010 then you may be pushing your disks to hard. Anything over 1 second and your SQL Server is probably dying for more disks.
The disk queuing numbers are also very important. These will tell you how many commands are backing up while the disks are processing the other commands which were given to them. The general number is that the queue shouldn't ever reach n*2 the number of disks that you have which are actively serving the data. So if you have a 10 disk RAID 10 array, the queue should go no higher than 10 as there are only 5 disks serving the data, but those same 10 disks in a RAID 5 array are OK with a disk queue of about 18 as there are 9 disks actively serving the data.
Now this doesn't mean that you should always have a disk queue. Disks work best when data is sent to or read from them is bursts, not in a constant massive stream. This means that you want to aim for an average queue length of 0, with occasional spikes up.
On the array
If you are working with your basic local disk array, then there isn't much you'll be able to look at past the server unless your RAID card has metrics which it can expose to you through the diagnostic tools which come with it.
However if you are working in with a SAN solution your SAN will have some diagnostics available to your SAN admin. These diagnostic numbers will give you the full story as you'll be able to see what Windows sees from the Server, as well as what the array is seeing.
When looking at the array itself you can now see not only what the performance on the LUN which is presented to Windows, but what the performance of each specific disk which is under the LUN is doing. This will allow you to for example see if a specific spindle under the LUN is causing the slow down, perhaps because it is failing.
Getting the full picture is very important when it comes to looking at storage performance issues. This means looking at the performance numbers from all sides so that you can get a full understanding on exactly where the performance problem may be coming from.
I forgot to put in the link to Mike's post about T-SQL Tuesday, so here it is.
How do I deal with a rollback which is stuck at 0% remaining?
Every once and a while you have to kill a SPID in SQL Server. And on a rare occasion the SPID will rollback, but won't actually rollback and go away. While this is annoying there isn't actually anything bad going on. The SQL Server is running just fine, however you won't be able to kill this SPID without restarting the SQL instance.
Typically when I've seen this the client application has been disconnected from the SQL Server. From what I understand is happening is:
- The SPID is killed
- The SQL Server rolls back the transaction
- The client is informed of the rollback
- The client acknowledges that the rollback is complete
- SQL terminates the SPID
Every time that I've seen this on my servers the client has already disconnected, do to a reboot, network drop, client crash, etc which stops the SQL Server from telling the client that the rollback is complete. This breaks something within step 3 and 4 leaving the process sitting there.
The upside to this problem is that the rollback is complete and the transaction has been completely rolled back and closed so it isn't holding any locks. The downside is that you'll need restart the SQL Instance in order get rid of the process. Killing the process won't do anything for you as it will only tell you that there are 0 seconds remaining and that the rollback is at 0%.
If you have one of these processes show up on you and you have to leave it for a day or two until you can restart the instance there shouldn't be any harm in this as the process is idle. It is using up a small amount of memory, but once the rollback has completed it isn't using any CPU or memory. Upon restart of the instance it won't add any time to the instance restart as the transaction has been rolled back so it'll come back online quickly.
Getting set up for multi-server management with SQL Server 2008 R2
I've just published a new article up on SearchSQLServer.com where I'm talking about how to setup the new Multi-Server Management feature of SQL Server 2008 R2 complete with some screen shots in case you haven't had a chance to look at it yet.
Somehow I missed a milestone…
I logged into my WordPress admin site and saw something that I never thought that I'd see. Somehow I've managed to publish just over 400 blog posts.
I'm really not sure how that happened, but I'd just like to thank everyone who reads my ramblings either so that you can get some new info, or for some sort of entertainment value, or whatever. Just thanks for reading and I hope that you'll keep reading my blog.
I know that the title of my blog if "SQL Server with MrDenny" and that I don't always post about SQL Server, but there is so much more to my job than SQL Server so I pretty much have been writing about everything that comes up.
Again, thanks for reading.
Made2Mentor's MacGyver Moment Meme
David Stein (@Made2Mentor) started a neat new post My McGuyver Moment and tagged Brent Ozar (@BrentO) who tagged me. In David and Brent's post they talked about building something from nothing that the company ended up needing for several years.
I to have had my share of shoestring budget projects that I've had to deal with putting together. The one that I'm probably the most proud of was when I worked at EarthLink. We had a rather large call center, at the time it was a single office, but over time it grew to 7 offices and 3 outsourced call centers, but I'm skipping ahead here.
On the things which our call center supervisors were supposed to do was grab the call center queue stats every 4 hours and email them to management's pagers. Needless to say this seemed like a rather big waste of time to actually have a person sum up these numbers in Excel and then send out an email.
So I built a quick VB app which would log into the PBX, gather the required numbers and send out the email. This was cool and all, and took about a day to put together. After this I decided to put the data out on a web server so that everyone else that didn't have access to the rather expensive Lucent PBX software could see the data. So once everyone thought that was awesome, we look it to the next logical step and started exporting all the call center data and created web pages which would allow anyone to see the data.
Now these weren't fancy dynamic pages. They were just static HTML files that refreshed themselves every few seconds and were rewritten by the app I wrote every few seconds. Now on the server side of things the PBX server that I had to connect to was a closed system meaning that my only option to connect to it was via the management tool. At the time there was no scripting support in the app, so I had to write an app which would send keystrokes to the client app and export the data to flat files, then process the files into the needed html files.
This lasted for a couple of weeks until we started adding more groups into this mix. It would end up taking several minutes to process everything. I then started loading the data into an Access database and using classic ASP to allow the users to select the data that they wanted to see. After a couple of weeks of loading data into Access every few seconds Access blew up so we upgraded to SQL Server.
After some time we added more and more call centers to the company we added more and more computers doing processing. Now when all this started we were running on old P2 400Mhz workstations all running like 128 Megs of RAM for each machine. By the time we were done with this we had a view computers all these crappy workstation class machines except for one rack mount server (see the picture of my desk below).
By the time I left EarthLink (more specifically I was tossed out kicking and screaming as all our jobs were off-shored) we had equipment in 5 offices in additional to all the machines running under my desk. There were somewhere around 4000 internal users accessing the web app and we were actually feeding hold time information to the customer facing website so that customers could see what the wait time would be in real time. By the time everything was said and done we had saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in Lucent/Avaya licensing fees as each new Lucent PBX we brought only the server and only needed the default 5-10 licenses that came with the PBX system.
Needless to say this was probably the biggest spit and chewing gum project that I've ever worked on. The total cost to the company was only a few thousand dollars (the rack mount server). Our SQL License was covered under our Enterprise Agreement, and all the workstations were older machines which weren't in use any more by Tech Support (they liked it when we stole the old machines, it gave them an excuse to order new ones).
Now, as for the people that I'm going to tag I'm going to go with some people that don't always get pulled into these.
Jessica and Goeff haven't been going a lot of blogging recently. Hopefully this will help them start writing more often. Tom blogs like crazy, and one more just isn't going to hurt him. I picked these three because I'm curious to see what these folks have had to band-aid together with duct-tape over their careers.
I must have had a great time at the MVP summit, I'm sick as hell
I'm not that kind of sick, any hangover would be long gone by now. But the lack of sleep has caught up with me. I've got exactly 5 days to get over it before my next trip, which will hopefully be much more tame.
So last week was the MVP Summit (#mvp10 for those of you on Twitter). While I can't really go into what was covered at the sessions because it is all covered under NDA.
What I can tell you is that we had some great sessions (and some not so great sessions) and gave the product groups some great feedback (hopefully they think that the feedback was great as well).
We also partied, and did we ever party. Over the four days the highest number of parties that I heard one person attending is 12. Now I don't care who you are, that's a lot of events to make it to in one week, especially when you remember that we were in session from 9-6 each day, and you have to sleep at some point.

Deadpool, the mercenary with a mouth is probably one of those rare cases where just with the help of crazy fan following and such high demand, the character was brought to life and adapted for silver screen. After a little part to play in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" in 2009, Ryan Reynolds wished there would be a solo film for the character, which he did get after a test footage was leaked by a curious fan. True to the character's style, promotions for the movie have also been going on full swing and the latest one being his presence on the Entertainment Weekly issue.
According to Slash film, the character has featured on the cover of Entertainment Weekly's cover issue and it looks nothing but amazing. The cover issue offers a close up at the character's costume, which already has been declared as one of the best looking costumes amongst all the upcoming superhero movies. Apart from that Deadpool can also be seen giving a thumbs up most presumably to himself since he is the best thing to happen to the comic world (again self proclaimed). If this was not enough then Deadpool manages to leave a word here too. A little speech bubble shows him asking about the issue not being about the sexiest man alive. The Sexiest man alive is the obvious reference to Ryan who won the coveted title of People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2010.
Deadpool, originally known, as Wade Wilson was a Special Forces operative who volunteered for an experiment that gave him accelerated healing powers just like the Wolverine has. One of the stories of the character also once mentioned that Wade was suffering from Cancer and in hopes of saving himself, volunteered for the experiment. His new powers did not make the Cancer cells go away but since his healing is so fast, it nullifies the effect of Cancer cells in his body. The movie will be releasing next year near Valentine's Day because he's the perfect character to symbolize the most romantic days of the year right?

Kids should have cell phones because if a child was in danger by a stranger or even at school then they could call their parents. Also the kids may be left accidentally in a store and they could call their parents. When a child has to call a parent from a store phone then the child is in danger by other shoppers.

Every child should have a mobile phone,because what if someone captured your child,if they have a phone they can call you to come help but,if they dont they can be heald somewhere for years.Or you could be at someones house somewhere,and they could want to go home but, they cant because they dont have a phone.
Every child should have a cell phone in case of an emergency. Clearly, kids that lack fine motor skills that are unable to press buttons shouldn't have one. However, children are raised on technology from birth nowadays, so a kindergarten student's ability to properly use a cell phone shouldn't be a surprise.
No, every child should not have a cell phone. Kids are extremely irresponsible and break stuff a whole lot. I don't think kids should have cell phones till they are at least 16 and can show that they are responsible enough to not break everything and slobber all over things. Because that's what they do.
I think kids should not have cell phones because instead of being all lazy and texting you could rather go outside and have fun. Some parents think oh our child needs a phone incase of an emergency but I think they just wanna play and be very lazy. That is what I think

Paper Chase
Lean, but not obese, fat is enriched for a unique population of regulatory T cells that affect metabolic parameters.
Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Joslin Diabetes Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Obesity is accompanied by chronic, low-grade inflammation of adipose tissue, which promotes insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes. These findings raise the question of how fat inflammation can escape the powerful armamentarium of cells and molecules normally responsible for guarding against a runaway immune response. CD4(+) Foxp3(+) T regulatory (T(reg)) cells with a unique phenotype were highly enriched in the abdominal fat of normal mice, but their numbers were strikingly and specifically reduced at this site in insulin-resistant models of obesity. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments revealed that these T(reg) cells influenced the inflammatory state of adipose tissue and, thus, insulin resistance. Cytokines differentially synthesized by fat-resident regulatory and conventional T cells directly affected the synthesis of inflammatory mediators and glucose uptake by cultured adipocytes. These observations suggest that harnessing the anti-inflammatory properties of T(reg) cells to inhibit elements of the metabolic syndrome may have therapeutic potential.

Wessanen provides strategy update
Wessanen provides strategy update
Utrecht, January 13, 2010
The Executive Board of Royal Wessanen nv announces that today it will provide an update on its strategy. Following the agreed sale of Tree of Life, Inc., Wessanen will comprise three ongoing activities: Wessanen Europe, American Beverage Corporation and Frozen Foods. American Beverage Corporation is scheduled to be divested in 2011, while the focus of Frozen Foods is on revitalising the Beckers brand, growing revenue and cost containment. Wessanen Europe will become the core of the Company.
Wessanen Europe envisions to become the Organic+ food champion in chosen countries in Europe. Focus will be on the European Organic food market, which is an attractive and growing market. Growth potential of this market is significant. Today, most consumers are aware of the relevance of Organic and its sustainable production methods, although consumption per capita is rising. Strong fundamentals, such as continuously increasing engagement of mainstream consumers, health benefits and rich taste are expected to drive continued growth of the Organic markets in Europe.
Wessanen Europe is primarily a branded sales, marketing and distribution company, operating a multi-channel approach. Its portfolio of more than 40 brands, amongst which Bjorg, Zonnatura and Whole Earth, is mainly being sold via the dedicated shelf in grocery stores and via the specialty food channel (health food stores). In addition, Wessanen Europe operates wholesale activities as well as the Dutch retail franchise chain 'de Natuurwinkel' (natural food stores). It is mainly present in France, the Benelux, UK and Germany. A new operating model is being deployed and a new management structure has already been implemented.
In 2010, Wessanen Europe's main focus will be on strengthening the core, including the harmonisation of brands, centralised sourcing and the establishment of a European Organic Expertise Centre. Profitable revenue growth is key, and is aimed at a growth level for Wessanen Europe that is at least in line with market growth. For the longer term, Wessanen Europe aims for revenue of over EUR 1 billion to be realised via autonomous growth and add-on acquisitions.
At 10 a.m. CET today, an analyst & investor meeting will be hosted by the Executive Board to present the strategic update. This meeting will be audio-webcast and can be followed via the Wessanen website (www.wessanen.com). Shortly after the meeting a replay of the webcast will be available. The presentation slides are available at and downloadable from the website.

CLTW28 -- Because your wire becomes your clamp, we recommend stainless steel wire because of its strength and durability, which results in your clamp being strong and durable. Although, the ClampTite tool will work with all wires, the stainless steel wire is the strongest and most durable. By simply cutting the wire to the length you need, you can have a clamp of any size. Remember you need to match the wire to your projects' needs. This can of wire is approx. 200' .
|304 Stainless Steel Wire
.032 (approx. 65') - $14.95 per roll
.041 (approx. 50') - $14.95 per roll
.041 (approx. 165') - $24.95 per roll
.041 (approx. 200') - $24.95 per can
.051 (approx. 105') - $24.95 per roll
.051 (approx. 200') - $24.95 per can
.062 (approx. 85') - $24.95 per roll
|316 Stainless Steel Wire
|.041 (approx. 40') - $14.95 per roll
.041 (approx. 135') - $24.95 per roll
|400 Stainless Steel Monel Equivalent Wire
|.041 (approx. 25') - $14.95 per roll
.041 (approx. 85') - $24.95 per roll
What are some wire type advantages?
|Stainless Steel Grade 304 Wire
|Very corrosion resistant, has good strength, is annealed for ease of use, and is available in all our standard sizes as well as in a 1 lb can. It is the same stainless steel grade on most boat rails and external fittings
|Stainless Steel Grade 316L Wire
|Very corrosion resistant (more so than 304), has slightly less strength, is annealed but is more stiff and slightly more difficult to use then the 304. It is available from us in sizes .041" diameter, small rolls and large rolls.
|400 Series Wire (Monel Equivalent)
|Extremely corrosion resistant (for under water or similar uses), has much less strength, is flexible and easy to use, is dull grey in color. It is available from us in sizes .041" diameter, and small rolls.
How can the various ClampTite wire sizes be used?
|.032 wire
|For small hoses (clamps) smaller than 1/2" diameter, for very small attachments (mechanical), and small projects.
|.041 wire
|For hoses (clamps) smaller than 1 1/2" diameter, for small attachments (mechanical); for non-structual projects.
|.051 wire
|For hoses (clamps) larger than 1 1/2" diameter, for wire wound or stiff hoses; for structual attachments (mechanical).
|.062 wire
|For hoses (clamps) for very large hoses (clamps) like 3-6" diameter, pvc or large irrigation pipe; larger structual projects (mechanical) like posts/uprights for load bearing.

What can a 30 year old hag possibly offer me ? The sex will never be as good as with a 20 year old, the attitude doesn't help her one bit, she reminds me of my mother (in terms of looks, not that my mother is unattractive but she doesn't turn me on if you know what I mean), I don't care about her career, I don't care about her money and she's used up, probably carries a few STDs too.
This is just common sense, women are in their prime from 16-25. If they're not married by then there is clearly something wrong with them.
Not to sound like disagreeing but in middle class asian families, the girls are still in school at age 16-25, and only start looking to settle down after that. I should know because my cousins on my dad's side only started dating after graduating from advance studies. One cousin looked like a nerd on ages 16-25 and quite not yet 'ripe' looking body-wise when she was that age, also she was busy studying robotics and applied mechanics. However when she was through studying (26), she went from looking like a nerd teenager to a vamp. Not to sound pervy coz she's my cousin and all but she is hot hot hot! She got married at age 29 (she did look like 21-23 that time, asians age differently) and now is a full time housewife to her equally brilliant robotics engineer husband. Frankly I believe most of his breakthroughs are really from her brains lol. She's now 38 (looks like 25) with 3 kids...
So what I am saying is some girls who are smart likes to study or make something out of themselves before settling down, just because a girl is past the age of 25 and unattached means something is wrong with her. I believe if you are after an asian middle class girl (with education and social graces), they are at their best mid 20s to early 30s. If they do reach mid 30s and still unattached then maybe something is wrong with her or she could be a career woman type.
Your cousin wasn't whoring around in university, she was actually studying. I was referring more to the typical Western women brainwashed by feminism and sleeping with a few dozen men before they finish university. Studying is the last thing on their minds. Guess who are the most easy to pick-up women in Canada ? University students by a large margin...By age 25 they're psychologically f***ed up and physically used up as opposed to your cousin who was much more innocent.

These hummus veggie flatbreads are one of our favorite quick and easy weeknight dinners. My family loves these because they are so delicious. The fact that they are full of healthy veggies and protein-packed hummus is just the icing on the cake. I usually serve these with couscous, which cooks in under 10 minutes. The entire meal, start to finish, can be done in around 15 minutes. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
Hummus Veggie Flatbreads
What you need:
Naan (or other type of flatbread)
Fresh sliced portabella mushrooms
Green pepper, thin sliced
Tomato, diced
Avocado, diced
Store-bought hummus
Sliced cheese (I've used cheddar, pepperjack, and muenster- all good in this recipe)
1. Preheat your oven to 350°. Place one flatbread per person on a cookie sheet and spread with a generous spoonful (or two!) of hummus.
2. Top each with 4-6 slices of green pepper, around 5 or 6 mushrooms, and a sprinkling of tomato—you don't want to go too heavy on the veggies because you'll be adding arugula and avocado as well and you want to be able to fold them in half.
3. Place one to two slices of cheese, depending on the size of your flatbread, on each one (I usually break up the cheese to spread it over all of the veggies). Pop the flatbreads in the oven for around 6 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
4. Place one flatbread on each plate and top with some of the avocado and arugula. Fold in half and dig in!

Police: Utah soccer referee punched by player dies
MURRAY, Utah — A Utah soccer referee who slipped into a coma after being punched by a teenage player during a game a week ago died Saturday night, police said.
Ricardo Portillo, 46, of Salt Lake City passed away at the hospital, where he was being treated following an assault, Unified police spokesman Justin Hoyal said.
Police have accused a 17-year-old player in a recreational soccer league of punching Portillo after the man called a foul on him and issued him a yellow card.

in the last decade there have been many advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI), but there have been frustratingly few successful therapeutic interventions. In fact, the only treatment proven to reduce mortality is low tidal volume lung-protective mechanical ventilation (1), a non-pharmacological therapy. Furthermore, therapies that have proven successful in related conditions, such as activated protein C (APC) for severe sepsis (6), have been disappointing in patients with ALI (10) despite the fact that activation of coagulation in the lung and local fibrin deposition are central to the pathogenesis of ALI. Why have these treatments failed? The answer may lie in the complexity of the pathogenesis ALI.
In their recent article, Allen et al. (2) report findings from a mouse model of ALI that challenge our current understanding of the role of fibrin deposition in ALI. In this study, the authors use two different transgenic mouse models to reduce fibrin deposition. The first, a fibrinogen-deficient mouse, lacks the necessary precursors to make fibrin polymers (Fgn−/−), and the second has enhanced capacity to degrade fibrin through a deficiency of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1−/−). Both of these strains have virtually undetectable levels of lung fibrin in response to lung injury compared with wild-type injured mice that have accumulation of lung fibrin. The authors hypothesized that reducing lung fibrin accumulation would be protective in lung injury, a hypothesis that is based on extensive animal and human data suggesting that activation of coagulation and inhibition of fibrinolysis is harmful in ALI. Patients with ALI have disordered fibrin turnover in the air space (8). Baboon studies of sepsis-induced lung injury have shown that inhibition of coagulation through blockade of tissue factor results in attenuated lung injury compared with untreated animals (18, 19). More than a decade ago, Barazzone et al. (4) showed that PAI-1−/− mice exposed to hyperoxia had improved survival compared with wild type. However, these mice had equivalent amounts of vascular leak, and there was no measurement of lung inflammation. Despite the fact that the preponderance of human and animal data suggest that activation of coagulation in the lung is harmful in ALI, Allen and colleagues (2) report that transgenic induction of low levels of fibrin is associated with increased lung inflammatory cell influx and microvascular leak in a model of acid aspiration-induced lung injury. How, then, can we put the results of Allen et al. in context?
Although the earliest pathological studies of ARDS describe extensive hyaline membrane formation (fibrin polymers), the end product of activation of coagulation, there are intermediate enzymes in the coagulation pathway that may be more potent mediators of lung injury. The primary bioactive intermediate in the pathway to fibrin formation is thrombin. Thrombin (factor IIa) is produced as an inactive precursor, prothrombin, that is cleaved and activated by factor Xa. Thrombin is a highly active serine protease that has multiple biological functions in addition to cleavage of fibrinogen to form fibrin. Thrombin exerts many of its biological effects through interactions with protease-activated receptors (PARs). PARs are present on many cell types, including the lung alveolar epithelium (3) and neutrophils (17). Blockade of PAR signaling decreases neutrophil influx in a rat paw inflammation model (7) and in a murine model of systemic inflammation (15). In many cases, effective anti-coagulant therapies are associated with a decrease in thrombin formation. Slofstra et al. (16) showed that inhalation of APC could attenuate LPS-induced lung inflammation and that APC-treated mice had a decrease in thrombin-anti-thrombin complexes in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Furthermore, the few studies that have only modulated fibrin formation without affecting thrombin formation have shown results similar to the work of Allen and colleagues (2). Hyperoxia in PAI-1−/− mice as mentioned above had no effect on lung vascular leak even though fibrin deposition in the lung was reduced. Similarly, in an acid aspiration lung injury model in rabbits, fibrinogen deficiency was associated with increases in lung inflammation compared with animals with normal amounts of fibrin (9). In addition, fibrinogen knockout mice are not protected from bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis despite having undetectable levels of fibrin in the lungs (13). Although Allen et al. did not measure thrombin formation in the current study, neither of the knockout strains would be predicted to have lower levels of thrombin compared with controls. It would be interesting to repeat these experiments in the setting of thrombin inhibition; the findings might be very different. It may be that the proinflammatory effects of thrombin are harmful in the setting of lung injury but that the procoagulant (fibrin polymerization) effects are beneficial, highlighting the complex biological effects of different proteins in the same pathway. The current study by Allen et al. provides critical evidence that there are differential effects of proteins in the coagulation cascade and that these independent effects will need to be studied in great detail before we have a complete understanding of the complex pathogenesis of ALI.
Another important concept that has been increasingly appreciated over the last several years is that modulation of coagulation and fibrinolytic pathways occurs in an organ-specific manner. For years, the prevailing theory held that fibrin formation in the lung happened solely as a consequence of activation of systemic coagulation, with leakage of plasma proteins into the air space accounting for fibrin accumulation. More recent work suggests that while leakage of plasma proteins into the lung is likely an important component of fibrin formation, the resident lung cells actively modulate local coagulation in the air space independent of systemic coagulation. Prabhakaran et al. (14) measured PAI-1 in simultaneous samples of undiluted pulmonary edema fluid and plasma from patients with ARDS and found that levels were significantly higher in the lung fluid, suggesting a local source of PAI-1 in the lung. There also is local expression of tissue factor, the initiator of the extrinsic coagulation cascade, and the alveolar epithelium is a potential source of coagulation proteins (5). This is critically important when attempts are made to modulate coagulation and fibrinolysis in the lung. Experimental models have demonstrated differential responses to lung injury when treatments were administered directly to the air space compared with systemic treatment. In a sheep model of pneumonia and smoke inhalation-induced lung injury, inhaled heparin significantly attenuated lung vascular leak as measured by wet-to-dry weight ratio, whereas systemic heparin administration had no effect on lung fluid accumulation (12). Other studies have shown that systemic modulation of coagulation does have beneficial effects on the lung. In a rat model of intratracheal LPS, site-inhibited factor VIIa that blocks tissue factor activation resulted in decreased lung inflammation and cytokine levels in the air space (11). These studies raise the important issue that inhibiting a coagulation protease either locally or systemically may have differential effects. Allen et al. (2) used mice that were deficient in PAI-1 or fibrinogen throughout the entire animal. Their findings may have been different if fibrin deposition had been inhibited only in the air space and not systemically. Perhaps the potential beneficial effects of inhibiting fibrin deposition in the lung were offset by the inability to form fibrin polymers in the microvascular space. Maybe pulmonary microvascular fibrin has beneficial effect in the setting of lung injury such as forming a protective barrier and limiting vascular leak. The reverse may also be true with intra-alveolar fibrin deposition protecting the alveolar structure and providing a scaffold upon which to repopulate the epithelium and intravascular fibrin promoting inflammation and vascular leak. The sum of all available data demonstrates that both the specific enzyme being modulated and the location of this intervention are important. Organ-specific modulation of coagulation and fibrinolysis needs further study in animal models of lung injury and will need to be taken into account when designing clinical trials in ALI.
At first glance, the interesting results from Allen et al. (2) may seem to contradict the current body of evidence suggesting an important role for coagulation activation in the lungs during acute injury. A closer look, however, reveals that this study adds important information about the specific, independent roles of coagulation products in disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of studying not only systemic modulation of coagulation but also organ-specific regulation of fibrin deposition. This compartmentalization has important implications for treatment of patients with ALI and needs to be addressed when potential therapeutics are being developed. Not only will we need to consider the specific inhibitor (tissue factor pathway inhibitor, APC, heparin) but we will also need to determine the best route of administration (intravenous, aerosolized) to achieve clinical benefit in patients with ALI. The important and interesting study by Allen et al. adds one more piece to the puzzle of ALI.

Elvis Still Lives in Me
- Artist: Steve Scarbrough
- Genre: Country
- Release Date: 1/24/2006
Born in Tennessee,I first saw Elvis at the Mid-South Fair in Memphis. He was strolling through the fairgrounds, holding hands with an attractive lady and stopped at the midway to throw some balls and hand out teddy bears to the girls gathered around. As a teenager my friends and I would sit on the bed, listen to Old Shep and cry. Six of us went together to see Love Me Tender at the local theater.We played his songs at all our dances. Many years later I belonged to a songwriting group and met my co-writer who ask me to join him in writing a song to express our remembrance and our love of Elvis and his music. Our song is also now available for digital downloads at Apple iTunes and many other digital sites.Betty------------- -------------Like other teenagers who grew up in the fifties, I heard Elvis sing on the radio. I was an only child and my Mom and Dad were divorced. Mom and I didn't have a lot back then but we owned a radio and I had a dog, who was my best friend. The first time I heard Elvis sing Old Shep, I related to the song more than any song I've ever heard.I was waiting in the checkout line in a supermarket in 1988 and saw this glaring tabloid headline that said, ELVIS IS ALIVE!!! I read some of it and thought, how disrespectful. I later thought, Elvis is alive alright, he lives in the heart and mind of everyone who knew him and his wonderful music.I knew if I could get my idea in the hands of a good songwriter, a fitting tribute could be written for Elvis. I was very fortunate and met Betty, who agreed to help me write this song. I don't need to tell you what a good songwriter she is, just listen to the words. James.

Providing Hop-by-Hop Authentication and Source Privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks
Message authentication is one of the most effective ways to thwart unauthorized and corrupted traffic from being forwarded in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). To provide this service, a polynomial-based scheme was recently introduced. However, this scheme and its extensions all have the weakness of a built-in threshold determined by the degree of the polynomial: when the number of messages transmitted is larger than this threshold, the adversary can fully recover the polynomial. In this paper, the authors propose a scalable authentication scheme based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).

What are the members of Screen Actors System saying?
I studied at another highly acclaimed acting school before I began working with Ryan R. Williams at Screen Actors System LA. I truly believe there is no better acting school in Los Angeles for anyone who is seriously pursuing a career in television or film acting. Ryan has helped me to develop an awareness of what works best for camera based acting, rather than theatrical acting, which a lot of actors tend to struggle with. Ryan is not only a phenomenal teacher, but also a talented director, actor, and mentor. He always demands that his students bring the highest level of discipline, passion, integrity, along with compelling emotional arguments to class (more)
It has been a privilege to be apart of Screen Actors System. Ryan R. Williams has expanded my mind and taught me tactics necessary for film. He is so passionate and enthusiastic about teaching, so if you're the same way about improving your craft you will love it. This class reinsures me every week that I want to continue on as an actor and amongst other areas in this "business." His energy and creativity bounces of the actors and creates a family like bond amongst us. Great class and I will be in it for as long as I can. (more)
Ryan's technique encompasses everything an actor needs to be elite at their craft. I've worked with Ryan since 2013. He's helped me establish myself in an elite industry of A picture films, working alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood. He is someone who's opinion I respect greatly. I appreciate what he's taught me and helped me accomplish. (more)
Ryan's class is THE class for learning film acting. I like to think of it as the first acting class I took. I had taken other classes before that say they are on camera classes, but it was just sitting across from another person and filming it. This was good to see how I looked on camera, but it was not practical for working on a film set. With Screen Actors System, you learn how to hit marks precisely and stay in your frame, all while doing movements and making strong emotional arguments. This really puts you in the atmosphere of being on a film set. The truth is I didn't really start booking until I joined this class (more)

Entering Getaway from the aft passarelle leads to a spacious and comfortable outdoor lounging area. This space is ideal for alfresco dining or escaping from the heat of the mid day sun to enjoy a good book or a mid day nap whilst still enjoying the fresh sea breeze. Guests can also enjoy the fold down TV to watch movies or their personal videos and even track their trip via connection to the onboard GPS.
A unique feature of GETAWAY in comparison to other gulets is its spacious flybridge which encompasses a secondary fully operational helm station with all the necessary navigation equipment. The flybridge has been extended to allow a larger seating area with two tables and a sunbathing platform wide enough for five guests. There is also a mini-fridge, electric grill, and speakers which are connected to the main entertainment console on the main deck. Guests may go up to the flybridge using the staircase located in the aft seating area. Enjoying a quiet romantic meal under moonlight in a secluded bay or ice cold champagne during sunset with the great panorama of the serene natural surroundings is an experience that will be hard to erase from your memory.
Walking through the glass sliding doors ahead will lead you into the main salon. The large panaromic windows allow for a great 360 view bringing the outside in with you. Situated on the portside is a large bar area with a mini bar and wine cooler where you will be able to find the drink of your choice. Across from the bar is a casual seating group where you can enjoy your refreshing drinks in the comfort that is provided by the AC. In the fwd part of the main salon is a more formal dining table which can easily seat every guest. This is also a perfect location to relax and enjoy a movie on those chillier nights. A 42 inch TV rises out behind a cabinet which is situated just aft of the helm station.
Access to the lower deck is provided by a central staircase on the fwd side of the main salon. The stairs lead to a wood cladded and white painted corridor which gives access to all the guest cabins. Above the corridor is a skylight which allows for natural lighting during the day and bringing more of the exterior into the interior.

Kampala - Uganda on Thursday charged three top ruling party officials, including recently resigned foreign minister Sam Kutesa, with abuse of office on charges that they allegedly misused funds meant for hosting the 2007 Commenwealth summit.Kutesa resigned on Wednesday alongside Mwesigwa Rukutana, who was the junior labour minister and John Nasasira, who quit as the ruling party parliamentary leader, pending the conclusion of the case.They were charged by the anti-corruption court for abuse of office and causing financial loss to the government, which they denied.Prosecutor Sydney Asubo said the three abused "the authority of their offices, an arbitrary act prejudicial to the interest of the government of Uganda.""The three irregularly convened a consultative cabinet meeting and decided that the government would fully fund the construction cost of driveways, parking areas and marina at Munyonyo Speke Resort, a decision that led to 14 billion shillings [$4.8m] loss to the government," Asubo added.They face up to 13 years in jail if convicted.Kutesa was also accused Tuesday by a lawmaker of receiving a bribe from Anglo-Irish Tullow Oil company to gain favours, during a charged parliamentary debate in which MPs voted to freeze any new oil deals.In recent weeks, graft cases involving top officials have made headlines in Uganda.Former vice president Gilbert Bukenya was freed on bail Tuesday after the anti-corruption court charged him with abuse of office for inflating the rental prices of fleets of vehicles used to ferry VIPs during the Commonwealth summit.
The ministers have room to prove to the nation there innocence. Otherwise corrupt fellows can be determined by the amount of wealth they do have that does not match there salary levels.
