The clinching game was win No. 17 of a winning streak that threatened the all-time record before eventually ending in Chicago at 27 straight. Although the Heat experienced a tremendous regular season, it is clear that the team's main objective remains another Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy. The Heat have experienced impressive success in the postseason as of late, including five straight playoff berths and two consecutive Eastern Conference championships. Last season, the team shut down Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden en route to defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder, 4-1, in a thrilling 2012 NBA Finals behind dominant efforts from the team's own "Big Three."
The Milwaukee Bucks will be the team's opponent in the first round of the playoffs, which will be a best-of-seven series. The Heat beat the Bucks in three of the teams' four regular season meetings, but anything is possible in the postseason, especially with Milwaukee's sharpshooting backcourt of Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings. If Miami is to advance through the Eastern Conference to a third consecutive NBA Finals, they may have to get past the Chicago Bulls in the second round in a series that would offer the Heat a chance at revenge against the team that earlier in the season snapped their historic winning streak at 27 games. Be there live at American Airlines Arena to see all the action by purchasing Heat playoff tickets to see LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh attempt to bring Miami its third title in eight years.

When we look at this picture, we are inside Hive-Maker, looking through his eye at the great comb, which is covered with the bodies of the bees, proto-swarming with a black and white off-time motion. There are many ways of viewing other species in time; that is because our senses are mobile. So mobile that we should wonder, what is Hive-Maker really doing... is he now looking through our eyes, seeing what we see (and doing that at the very same moment that we are seeing what he is seeing, i.e. right now, without our knowledge or consent, and at the same time cleverly avoiding any hint of feedback or recursion in the shared image which might give is a hint of what is going on, or at least confuse us long enough to break our stare, and so deprive him the pleasure of being inside our prolonged and blank attention?). Don't worry about questions like who am I if I see you with my eyes in my sockets someplace other than where they should be... i.e. someplace socketless, someplace on a stick atop a building, someplace in outer space where's there's no air, just the camera lens. We can see from place to place, and that's what we must do. |

For anyone interested in sound and sound recordings
Hi all,
I had problems recording blue petrels on the Kerguelen Islands with a wireless mic system and I was wondering whether anybody here has ever experienced something alike or may even know what could have happened.
Obviously my equipment produced an internal noise which is not very strong and not permanently present, but still annoying. The noise is something like an amplitude modulated white noise, like a very regular and constant pulse. Examples are below (you have to turn the volume up since it is a silent moment of the recording).
I used a Tascam DR-680 recorder and dpa 4060 lo sense mini microphones connected to Sennheiser ew 112 wireless transmitter-receiver sets.
From swapping channels and sets of microphone/transmitter-receiver, the noise seems to come from the transmitter-receiver set or microphone (cannot really imagine it came from the mic though). It was however not always there and sometimes stopped completely when I changed batteries in the transmitter-receiver set, although battery state was still indicated as almost full (two out of three bars). Anyway, batteries tended to screw up everything all the time, probably because of the cold weather (not below 0 degree celsius though).
I wonder whether this could be a problem with the radio transmission? Does anybody have any idea? any help would be highly appreciated!
there are a couple of potential reasons for this. Firstly I recently discovered that the way some pro-sumer recorders are set up doesn't always work that well with DPA 4060's. This is down to the balancing (or not) of the input transformers on the recorder & the unbalanced nature of the mics. There's no way round this at present other than to put the DPA's through a separate unit to correct the balancing issues. Using them with the wireless sets might have introduced the noise between these various interfaces.
secondly, & this is on a much wider point, there are now such a lot of issues with wireless recording 'in the field' - hence the reason its usually only a last resort method. Various signals entering the channels & the fact that much of the support networks for the wireless channels are no longer maintained or are subject to various 'preparing for turn off' restrictions.
That said, i'd say the first possible issue could be whats going on here.
Hi Jez, thanks a lot for your quick reply! There are two things I should maybe have specified:
Firstly, I had three sets of mic/transmitter-receiver which I used synchronously on three channels of the recorder. One of the mics was close to the calling bird in its breeding burrow, the second was at the burrow entrance and the third in one meter distance outside the burrow. (I want to compare the three recordings at the end). I used a much higher recording level (sensitivity) on the channel outside, as the signal was obviously much weaker outside.
I swapped the three sets over the recorder channels and the problem occurred always with the same mic/transmitter-receiver set. It was however only obvious when I used it with a high sensitivity at the recorder.
Given that, I would be surprised if it was an issue of the components, since they were the same in all three sets of mic/transmitter-receiver.
Secondly, my field was on the Kerguelen islands - in the middle of nowhere. There is nothing, no mobile phone, no electricity, only water, some islands and birds. However, there is a radio used for communication at the research station. I probably should find out what frequency they used to make sure that my frequency was not in that range.
ps: Although using this complicated equipment I am obviously not a technique expert neither a native english speaker, I hope I make myself understandable.
interesting. I'm doing some research on these issues between pro-sumer recorders & the DPA's (I should point out that it appears to be down to some recorder manufacturers not working out how to make their machines as compatible as others, rather than something that DPA are doing of course) & what i'm finding is that even with the same mics, same recorders there are some that have the issues & some that don't. Various folks (inc. at DPA) are looking into this. However, if its just happening on one set, which I assume works fine normally - yes ?, then it must be something to do with either a faulty unit or interference. Try these suggestions:
1) does the same thing happen if you take one good set out of your set up (ie. so you work with just two including the faulty one)
2) does the noise fluctuate when moved closer to the different components or when angled in different ways in the air
3) if you have the right connectors, try checking the 'faulty' mic directly into the recorder
4) & as you say, check the frequencies being used.
What I will say though is that even in very remote places, with no apparent radio or other transmissions, wireless systems still have issues with interference from all kinds of things. It can be the various bits of kit clashing, it can be long range radar or sonar, it can be static energy - lots of different things. Broadcast still uses wireless systems a fair bit but there its when the signal is going to be cleaned up, compressed, filtered etc etc. so any 'problems' can be sorted in post. It seems to me, & this will get even more the case when the licenses for wireless channels run out at the end of this year in most places, that using wireless technology in a more creative way can be interesting. So, playing with the problems, the interference. Of course, this isn't ideal for a project like yours where you're recording a natural environment (though, if it turns out the problem is interference then that too is part of that environment now).
Hi again,
and thanks again. I will try all of your suggestions. The equipment just arrived back to Europe (France), so I can see if it happens here again which it did not when I tried it before leaving, but if it is due to the surroundings it should not happen here anyway.
And it is nice to see that there are people out there who find my problems interesting, if you were interested in battery-and-low-temperature problems too, I could tell you many more stories.
ha ! yes, problems are best described as 'interesting' as it means we are trying to be positive & learn from them - rather than just mentioning the fact that they are frustrating !
hope you get it sorted.

The Paste list is really bad. Radiohead, The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket, and Wilco are all as high as they are only due to name recognition.
kinda sucked, and it's the only rap album on the list. It is in no way exciting to say that Bon Iver had the #1 album of the year, nor do I really think it's true - it just was pretty good to a lot of people, so it showed up on a lot of ballots. Any aggregated list will have that problem, which I hope is what that is.

I'm trying to get a sense of how people use the microwave.
I personally reheat food about 2-3 times a day in it but rarely cook food with it. I usually cook using the stovetop, oven, pressure cooker, toaster oven (not for toast anymore LOL), and rice cooker.
Just curious. I eat clean Primal/PHD at home, which is about 90% of the time, so wondering if cooking potatoes, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and the like would be all that bad in it.
I know I prefer the taste of cooked food that is NOT microwaved but honestly when reheating it I don't notice a difference between microwave and stovetop except for certain textures like chicken.

Justice Aloma Mukhtar was on Monday, July 16, sworn in as the new Chief Justice of Nigeria, taking over from Justice Dahiru Musdapher who reached the mandatory age of 70.
The Senate has confirmed Justice Aloma Mukhtar as Chief Justice of Nigeria, she makes history as the first woman to hold the position. She takes over from retiring Justice Dahiru Musdapher, who is bowing out on July 15, having reached the mandatory age of 70. The President forwarded the nomination of the woman who was also the first female lawyer in the northern part of the country to the Senate for confirmation last Wednesday in conformity with the 1999 Constitution.
Her nomination has got the nod of the Senate after the usual drilling at the hollowed chambers of the Senate. She comes in at a time the judiciary is in need of reforms, while also satisfying the yearnings and aspirations of not a few Nigerians particularly women, clamouring for more gender balance in appointments. The Kano State born judicial officer makes history as the first female, CJN. All the past CJN were men. Mukhtar, 68, was also the first woman to become a Supreme Court judge in 2005. She had also earlier made history as the first woman to be appointed into appeal court.
The new CJN was one of the three judges – with a minority vote – who sought to nullify the 2007 presidential elections that brought in late President Umaru Yar'Adua, when they averred that the several violations of the electoral law particularly non serialisation of ballot papers used for the presidential election was enough to disqualify the election. Their views were however in the minority as the majority of four Supreme Court justices ruled that the non-compliance, though existed, were not enough to invalidate the elections.
Mukhtar began her legal career as a pupil counsel in the ministry of justice of northern Nigeria in 1967. She was later appointed Magistrate Grade I, North-eastern government from 1969 to 1973, thus scoring another feat as the first female magistrate in the northern region. She made another history with her appointment as the chief registrar, Kano State government judiciary in 1973 to 1977 and judge, high court of Kano State in 1977 and justice, court of appeal in 1987.
Justice Muktar is a member of the Federation of Women Lawyers, FWL. She was also the vice president of the National Association of Women Judges of Nigeria. In 1989, Muktar was honoured by the FWL and in 1991, the Kano State government decorated her with a Gold Merit Award. In 2003 she was again honoured by the International Association of Women Lawyers, and in 2004, the fellowship of the Nigerian Law School was conferred on her.

'Flying J' Files for Bankruptcy
By: Laura Kellerman/RNS
Updated: December 22, 2008
Ogden-based Flying J. Incorporated filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization this morning, citing a cash shortage brought on by plummeting oil prices and problems getting credit.
The company operates 250 travel plazas and fuel stations nationwide, including a location on I-20 in Tye. The filing includes Flying J Inc. and its Big West refining and Longhorn Pipeline subsidiaries only. No other subsidiaries or affiliates, including the Company's Canadian operations, were included in the filing or are subject to the reorganization proceedings.
The company says all of its operations will remain open as the company restructures.
Flying J is one of the largest privately held companies in the U.S., with sales exceeding $16 billion in 2007.

But if somebody want to prove me wrong...you are welcome.
I dont think its possible to get a good beat-making programs for free...In fact they are all expensive! Its why people hack them.
Working with Reason, I'm waiting for something better but dont expect it before few year...but never know.
Regarding Audacity you are absolutly right Isaac...its a very simple Audio editor. Its very good if you want to stats editing sound and beats.
This is few things that I use to do with it:
Mix tape
Basic Sampling and Sample editing.
Whenever I need to Cut Copy and Past sound I use this Program...
Big Up
You are right there is none... And if there is then its probably a piece of crap and wont get you anywhere

If you arew going to download cracked software you need to first have state of the art virus protection like I do... If you dont then dont even attempt this or you will be so mad at yourself. thats all I can tell you basically because I dont wanna tell you something and then you end up messing your whole computer up. then it will be me to blame. I'm just giving you warnings right now on how to get cracked software.....

making music is like poetry, only we define our feelings in scales and symphonies rather in artistic english. music is a culture people, and until we rise above that limitations we shall keep searching for the better softwares. recently i did an r n b beat for someone on fruity loops 3, man was it tiresome...but the interest got me going and i learned things i never knew before.
bottom line: if you got some equipment you good at...keep it real, try out some new equipment too, develop your self , but never loose sight of nirvana, never lose the inspiration people....

World Tree Expedition: Your chance to support a World Record attempt
On 25 May, David Medawar, Senior Programme Manager, Dubai Centre, will begin a World Record attempt to become the fastest person to travel to all 195 countries in the world.

Radical action required for recovery, according to business executives
Business chiefs discuss the future of leadership at global summit
73% of business executive say tough times call for a radical approach from leaders, according to a poll by London Business School.
The findings come as the School debates the future of leadership in the wake of the economic crisis with world-renowned leaders at its flagship event, the Global Leadership Summit.
Lynda Gratton, Professor of Management Practice in Organisational Behaviour, London Business School, will say at the Summit: "Corporations can indeed be a force for good – both with regard to the wealth creation of their activities and the way they can leverage their innovative and scaling capabilities to address the escalating global challenges of our fragile world. Yet trust in corporations is low, they are seen as short term, overly focused on shareholder value and insular in their perspective.
"In big global challenges the leaders' personal narrative is crucial. These narratives often come from crucible experiences – moments in the lives of the leader when they are confronted with people or experiences, which have had a profound impact on the way they think about the world."
The Summit speakers include:
• Dr Josef Ackermann, Chairman, Zurich Insurance Group; Vice-Chairman of the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum
• Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever
• Alessandro Profumo, Chairman, Monte dei Paschi di Siena
• President Ólafur Grímsson, President of Iceland
The tenth Global Leadership Summit, will take place today in The Brewery.
It brings together business leaders who led organisations through the 2008 financial crisis and will deal with the critical questions still being asked about the leadership, corporate governance and regulatory frameworks that allowed it to happen.
Professor Sir Andrew Likierman, Dean, London Business School, says: "This platform is enabling a deeper debate about the systemic frailties of existing structures and models of leadership.
"Combining the experience of high profile decision makers with the expertise of London Business School faculty, we are discussing models of leadership that are capable of rebuilding the political, corporate, environmental and social landscape."20 May 2013

Start-up business plans seriously flawed
Why even capital backed ventures need a plan B
Most new ventures, even those with venture capital backing share one common characteristic. They fail. A leading academic who will speak at London Business School's Global Leadership Summit, argues that the typical start-up process, largely driven by poorly conceived business plans and based on untested assumptions, is seriously flawed.
John Mullins, Associate Professor of Management Practice in Marketing and Entrepreneurship, London Business School and acclaimed author of "Getting to Plan B: Breaking Through to a Better Business Model", says: "There is a better way to launch new ideas—without wasting years of your time and loads of investors' money.
"This better way is about discovering a business model that really works: a Plan B which grows out of the original idea, builds on it, and once it's in place, enables the business to grow rapidly and prosper."
If the founders of Google, Starbucks, or PayPal had stuck to their original business plans, Dr Mullins says, we would likely never have heard of them. Instead, they made radical changes to their initial models, became household names, and delivered huge returns for their founders and investors.
"It's an uncomfortable fact", says Dr Mullins, "But developing a better business is absolutely achievable, provided entrepreneurs quantitatively address five crucial elements."
Five ways to transform your business model
• Revenue Model: Who will buy? How often? How soon? At what cost? How much money will you receive each time a customer buys? How often will they send you another cheque?
• Gross Margin Model: How much of your revenue will be left after you have paid the direct costs of what you have sold?
• Operating Model: Other than the cost of the goods or services you have sold, what else must you spend money on to keep the lights on?
• Working Capital Model: How early can you encourage your customers to pay? Do you have to tie up money in lots of inventory waiting for customers to buy? Can you pay your suppliers later, after the customer has paid?
• Investment Model: How much cash must you spend up front before enough customers give you enough business to cover your costs?
Dr Mullins will speak on business model innovation at London Business School's Global Leadership Summit in collaboration with Deloitte, alongside:
• Michael Elias, Managing Director, Kennet Partners
• Jimmy Maymann, Chief Executive Officer, Huffington Post Media Group
• Dale Murray, Angel Investor; Non-Executive Director, UKTI15 May 2013

Baltimore County police said on Tuesday they have arrested two men in connection with a kidnapping and sexual assault, and they said one of the suspects is also connected to an earlier abduction.
Police said the incident happened at a bus stop at the intersection of Ingleside Avenue and Edmondson Avenue in the Catonsville area at 12:40 p.m. Monday.
A 17-year-old girl told officers she got off the bus and began to walk to a different bus stop when a Ford SUV pulled up beside her, and the driver got out and forced her into the vehicle.
Police said a second man, armed with a handgun, was in the backseat. The men drove to an alley in Baltimore City, where detectives said the man in the backseat sexually assaulted the victim. The victim said the men also took her cellphone, wallet, money and identification card. She was then dropped off at a nearby apartment complex.
Detectives found the SUV matching the description of the one used in the kidnapping in the northwest area of Baltimore City at 11:20 p.m. After an extensive search and investigation by Baltimore City and Baltimore County police, two men were arrested.
Police charged 21-year-old Kenyon Waller with armed robbery, kidnapping, first-degree assault, firearm use in a felony crime and first-degree rape.
Officers also charged 25-year-old William Campbell with two counts of armed robbery, two counts of kidnapping, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of firearm use in a felony crime, one count of first-degree sex offense and one count of first-degree rape.
Both men are being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
Police said Campbell faces two counts because investigators have also tied him to a separate kidnapping on Sept. 25, when an 18-year-old woman reported an armed robbery that happened at 9:20 a.m. that morning.
The woman told police she got off an MTA bus at the same intersection as the incident on Monday and began to walk to work. She told police a Ford SUV pulled up alongside her, and a man pointed a handgun at her and ordered her to get into the vehicle.

Marble - Virtual Globe v1.4.0-2
Votes: 25
Free & Open Source license
Find your way and explore the world with Marble.
Marble is a virtual globe with advanced routing capabilities. Use it as your personal navigation device to guide you to any destination in the world. Download maps from a variety of themes and explore the surroundings. Record your trip and share it with your friends.
Main features: - Online and offline routing - GPS tracking and recording (KML format) - Themable maps (OpenStreetMap, Satellite Map, many more) - Support for different projections (globe, flat map, ...) and other planets - Download of maps and route data for offline usage
Authors | Bastian Holst, Dennis Nienhüser, Torsten Rahn |
@john: You can use the "Download Region" feature for that. It works on rectangular regions (the map region visible in the screen). To download offline routing maps, use the routing dialog. There's a detailed tutorial that covers both at http://userbase.kde.org/Marble/Maemo/OfflineRouting
Not sure if you have answered this already. But is they a way to download all of the uk maps and zoom levels etc just like a Tom Tom ?
So no internet connection is needed at all. handy when in another country with expensive data cost.
@Jakub: I plan to work on an offline address search for Marble 1.1 (~ April 2011) or 1.2 (August 2011). It will include city and street data for the country maps.
Great job! Just few questions/wishes: Is there any way to download cities'/streets'/etc. name index (with coordinates) from OSM so it wouldn't need an internet connection? I've managed to download some map tiles (very big, though) and a Navit map, but it still needs an internet connection for searching in the map.
Really like this, as I get to know it better it is slowly replacing ovi-maps

Hometown East Providence, R.I.
A native Rhode Islander, Lisa M. Gentes-Hunt has spent over a decade living and working in Boston, MA. She recently gave up her New England roots and moved to White Plains, New York. For the past 1.5 years, she has been the Local Editor of the Canton Patch in Canton, MA. For the past 11 years, she has worked in the media industry, including writing and reporting for the Associated Press, the Boston Herald, MetroWest Daily News, The Patriot Ledger, The Dorchester Reporter, and several magazines. She started her journalism career interning for WBZ-TV's I-Team and writing for WBZ 1030 AM news radio. She graduated from Simmons College in Boston with a bachelor's degree in communications and a minor in English.
She began freelance writing for The Pilot, the weekly newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston, just prior to graduation. Hired that summer as a reporter, she had an intense initiation into the world of journalism. On September 11, she covered the terrorist attacks from Logan Airport, along with a stranded Canadian camera crew. She went to Ground Zero twice, serving alongside volunteers at the canteen closest to the site and at the landfill in New Jersey. Interviewing locals, photographing the route, and riding in a Lafayette Street fire engine--she came back with unimaginable stories and a face mask and camera bag covered in dirt. Also as a reporter for The Pilot, she covered the clergy sex abuse scandal as it broke in January 2002--attending court hearings, combing through endless pages of files, and interviewing sex abuse victims and lawyers. Both were challenging moments in her career.
Most recently, she worked as a freelance assignment desk editor at WCVB Channel 5 News in Boston and as an eighth grade, after-school teacher in Boston Public Schools through her service with AmeriCorps and Citizen Schools. She taught eighth grade in Roxbury and South Boston. She holds a master's degree in education from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA.
Your Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs.
So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for them to inject their beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that their beliefs are on the record will cause them to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.

Pelham Island Bridge Reopens
The new, two-lane bridge opened to traffic at the end of December.
Pelham Island resident Gary Slep has provided updates on the bridge project since it began in spring 2012. He concludes his updates with the following announcement that the bridge has reopened.
Work on the Pelham Island Bridge over the Sudbury River ended Dec. 28. The bridge replacement project, which began in earnest in the spring of 2012, followed by a road closure that began on June 20, is basically finished. A few minor operations remain which will require a few hours of road closure early in 2013 to complete Verizon and Comcast cable relocations and the removal of three temporary utility poles. In the spring of 2013 the contractor will return to put down the final layer of asphalt and fix any landscaping damage along the river banks. Monitoring will continue for another two years to ensure safety and environmental restoration.
In the last few days before opening the bridge and road, AA Will, the general contractor, and its subcontractors removed the temporary steel utility bridge, the bypass gas and water pipes, and the supporting H-beam utility bridge supports. On Dec. 28, they demolished the concrete piers that supported the massive girders that framed the utility bridge and then removed all their gear and cleaned up the road, readying it for traffic.
This news update ends my coverage of this project. It has been a pleasure to serve you, and an exciting educational experience for me.

It was no way to treat a senior citizen: sending a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air hurtling into a collision with a 2009 Malibu at 40 miles per hour. As the video produced by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows, the outcome wasn't pretty, either.
The windshield dislodges, the driver's door opens and the front half of the Bel Air goes through something between crumbling and what looks like imploding as the dummy in the driver's seat flies around like Peter Pan.
"The Bel Air collapsed," said David Zuby, the senior vice president for the institute's vehicle research center in Virginia. "The area in which the driver was sitting collapsed completely around him."
The test was to mark the 50th anniversary of the I.I.H.S., a group funded by the insurance industry. The idea was to show how much automotive safety has progressed in five decades.
While some people still think that the big steel bodies and sturdy frames of old cars meant stronger vehicles and good crash protection, the institute's crash test shows that that just isn't the case, Mr. Zuby said. Sophisticated engineering and high-strength steel give modern vehicles a huge advantage.
Here's how the institute described what happened to the Bel Air:
"This car had no seat belts or air bags. Dummy movement wasn't well controlled, and there was far too much upward and rearward movement of the steering wheel. The dummy's head struck the steering wheel rim and hub and then the roof and unpadded metal instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.
"During rebound, the dummy's head remained in contact with the roof and slid rearward and somewhat inward. The windshield was completely dislodged from the car and the driver door opened during the crash, both presenting a risk of ejection. In addition, the front bench seat was torn away from the floor on the driver side."
The I.I.H.S. has crash-tested hundreds of vehicles, and Mr. Zuby said he doesn't know of any that performed worse than the Bel Air.
The institute rates vehicles as Good, Acceptable, Marginal or Poor. The group looks at how well the structure of the vehicle held up and the likelihood of injuries to the head, chest and legs. The Bel Air got a Poor rating in every category.
The 2009 Malibu got Good in every category but the one for the left leg and foot, which was rated Marginal.
And what does this mean to owners of 1959 Bel Airs? Mr. Zuby said driving in a parade was probably safe because the speeds were slow and it was a controlled environment.
"I wouldn't recommend that anybody use an antique car like this for their daily driving around," he said.
Update: In comments, several readers have asked whether the Bel Air had an engine. Christopher Jensen addressed that issue in a followup post here.

I am trying to integrate/invoke Batch using Admin & Integration.
The requirement is: We have a set of Batch jobs (read/write files) running and want to add the ability to read and write files from FTP folder.
The way I plan to do this is: Create sub folders in the FTP for each of these Batch Jobs. Using FTP Adapter, read the files and put it in local folder.
I want to have a single FTP Adapter that polls all the sub directories instead of having an adapter for each sub-folder. Is this possible?

Celebrate it as it was intended? What you neglect to take into consideration is that as an American nearly all of your 'traditions' originated from us 'moron' Brits in the first place, so any bastardization of said 'rule' is what makes you look a cunt, not us :nod::nod::nod:

so i should look to be artificial and pretend.
or be honest
sorry to all i offended
this whole 1/2 april fool's day instead of a full day is a weird concept for me. its like claiming Christmas ends at noon to not bother non Christians

The point is that you were rude and insulting, which is your typical approach, and the reason so many people get into arguments with you. I don't particularly mind what you think about April Fools, or any tradition surrounding it (I doubt anyone here does, either) - there's just no need to be a dick about it.
so you want a facade and this would make you happy.
if you feel something is fucked up, do you cover it up and say wow i didnt know let me change my view to match what everyone else thinks? do you defend your actions or turn tail.
im not trying to be a dick about anything. im trying to be honest with how i feel about something.
Last edited by Annoying_one; 04-04-2011 at 08:44 AM.
You just need to be a little more diplomatic.
politically correct is something ive never been and something i do have aproblem with.
You can't see this? It's pretty plain. It's easy to be a dick to everyone. Try not being that and you might find that people are more receptive to your posts.
i can see. honesty isn't something most can handle. ill try being fake. ill try being a little more diplomatic. more facade. more politically correct.
im sure if i become as you said im sure more would like.
bring on the kinder gentler less abrassive werejag.

All my life I've followed the half day rule, as have my family and friends and everyone else in the country as far as I'm aware.
I'm sorry it offends you.
So are you going to leave now? I rarely get into slanging matches on this forum but all I remember you for is asking for Dolphin logos and then pissing almost everyone off.
You're really starting to get on my tits.
We all wish we could speak our minds 24/7 but compromises have to be made.
You keep declaring at the end of your posts "here comes the apologetic werejag" "here comes the more diplomatic were jag" but nothing changes. You're either taking the piss or you're scared of being kicked.
This isn't a forum dedicated to social development.
We're not asking you to be fake or PC. We're asking you to voice your opinions with a bit of politeness and respect.
Last edited by Twimfy; 04-04-2011 at 06:32 PM.
thats so great im happy you celebrate april fools that way.
nah no attitude.
its diversity that makes we mortals who we are
However it's people's choice in diversity that leaves some ignored, hated and despised and others, loved, befriended and respected.
Anyway I came to this thread to just say that there are an increasing number of people on this forum using racist and gender based slurs on repeated occasions even after warnings and little has been done about it.
I know mods can't be everywhere at all times but I've reported some.
On the internet, things poorly worded can land you in hot water, in a tub labeled bad rep! From what I gather from everyone else's posts, is that they are not having a go at you. They are saying to be more friendly within your posts, that's all, nothing more, but if you continue being a dick, I doubt everyone will respect you...even the slightest.
werejag, you seem to be flicking your shit into the fan and spraying everyone. Being friendly to others is not difficult, if most of us can do it, I'm sure you are pretty capable.
ive never been on a forum that had a "free speech zone" i find it comical. as i speak my mind where ever i shall and let the Politically correctors deal with their own issues.
dont like what i say. then its your issue. get some help.

Collar (aka Protective Collar)
The investor writes a call option and buys a put option with the same expiration, as a means to hedge a long position in the underlying stock. You could say that this strategy combines two other hedging strategies: protective puts and covered call writing.
Usually, the investor will select a call strike above, and a long put strike below, the starting stock price. There is latitude, but the strike choices will affect the cost of the hedge as well as the protection it provides. These strikes are referred to as the 'floor' and the 'ceiling' of the position, and the stock is 'collared' between the two strikes.
The put strike establishes a minimum exit price, should the investor need to liquidate in a downturn.
The call strike sets an upper limit on stock gains. The investor should be prepared to relinquish the shares if the stock rallies above the call strike.
Net Position (at expiration)
Call strike - stock purchase price - net premium paid
Stock purchase price - put strike - net premium paid
In return for accepting a cap on the stock's upside potential, the investor receives a minimum price where the stock can be sold during the life of the collar.
For the term of the option strategy, this investor is looking for a slight rise in the stock price, but is worried about a decline.
The investor adds a collar to an existing long stock position as a temporary, slightly less-than-complete hedge against the effects of a possible near-term decline. The long put strike provides a minimum selling price for the stock, and the short call strike sets a maximum price. (For a short stock position, a long call could be combined with a short put.)
This strategy is for holders or buyers of a stock who are concerned about a correction and wish to hedge the long stock position.
Max Loss
The maximum loss is limited for the term of the collar hedge. The worst that can happen is for the stock price to fall below the put strike, which prompts the investor to exercise the put and sell the stock at the 'floor' price: the put strike. If the stock had originally been bought at a much lower price (which is often the case for a long-term holding), this exit price might actually result in a profit. The short call would expire worthless.
The actual loss profit) would be the difference between the floor price and the stock purchase price, plus/(minus) the debit/(credit) from establishing the collar hedge.
Max Gain
The maximum gain is limited for the term of the strategy. The short-term maximum gains are reached just as the stock price rises to the call strike. The net profit remains the same no matter how much higher the stock might close; only the position outcome might differ.
If the stock goes above the call strike, the investor will be assigned on the call and liquidate the stock at the 'ceiling': the call strike. The profit would be the ceiling price, less the stock purchase price, plus/(minus) the credit/(debit) from establishing the collar hedge.
If the stock were to close exactly at the call strike, it would expire worthless, and the stock would probably remain in the account. The profit/loss leading up to that point would be identical, but from that day forward the investor would still continue to face a stockowner's risks and rewards.
This strategy establishes a fixed amount of price exposure for the term of the strategy. The long put provides an acceptable exit price at which the investor can liquidate if the stock suffers losses. The premium income from the short call helps pay for the put, but simultaneously sets a limit to the upside profit potential.
Both the potential profit and loss are very limited, depending on the difference between the strikes. Profit potential is not paramount here. This is, after all, a hedging strategy. The issues for the protective collar investor concern mainly how to balance the level of protection against the cost of protection for a worrisome period.
In principle, the strategy breaks even if, at expiration, the stock is above/(below) its initial level by the amount of the debit/(credit). If the stock is a long-term holding purchased at a much lower price, the concept of breakeven isn't even relevant.
Usually not a major consideration, all other things being equal. Since the strategy involves being long one option and short another with the same expiration (and generally equidistant from the stock value), the effects of volatility shifts may offset each other to a large degree.
Time Decay
Usually not a major consideration. Since the strategy involves being long one option and short another with the same expiration (and generally equidistant from the stock value), the effects of time decay will roughly offset each other.
Assignment Risk
Yes. Early assignment of the short Call option, while possible at any time, generally occurs only just before the stock goes ex-dividend.
And be aware, any situation where a stock is involved in a restructuring or capitalization event, such as for example a merger, takeover, spin-off or special dividend, could completely upset typical expectations regarding early exercise of options on the stock.
Expiration Risk
Yes. The option writer cannot know for sure whether or not assignment actually occurred, until the following Monday.
This strategy lends itself to use as a LEAPS hedge, where time value tends to make premiums higher. It offers more protection than a covered call, but at a lower up-front cost than a protective put. See both of these alternatives to get more detail on the issues involved.

I've been working with Oracle technology since 2006. I first started working with Oracle Portal 10g. I learned the ins and outs about PL/SQL and PL/SQL portlets in Oracle Portal. I was always interested in the new stuff on the web. I first heard about the Web 2.0 buzz when I was working for the Chancellery of the Prime Minister in Belgium. I was immediately hooked to it and I wanted to know more.
As a web specialist I tried to introduce new technologies in our portal projects like AJAX to improve user friendliness. Meanwhile after my hours I was experimenting with Drupal and its Web 2.0 capabilities. Those Oracle Portal projects were kind of straight forward and I wanted more. I wanted to use new technologies.
In 2007 I started working for Contribute. A company that innovates by using the newest technologies. As soon as I started I learned about the magical world of WebCenter 10g. Oh my the horror. Pages of instructions, just to enable WebCenter in the OC4J Container in JDeveloper. I found the idea of such a product very nice but it didn't took me a long time to see that WebCenter wasn't mature. I also specialized in UCM. I followed a few courses, toyed around with the Content Server and made some prove of concepts.
After a while I could start on a large Portal project so WebCenter and UCM were pushed back in the background. I kept reading about it and sometimes I tried experimenting with it.
After 2 years of hard work and creating lots of PL/SQL portlets in Oracle Portal, the project was done and I had time for WebCenter again, lots of time! I created a few prove of concepts with WebCenter 11g and experimented with WebCenter services.
Then suddenly I could do a WebCenter project at a customer. It was a very large prove of concept. The idea was to acquire requirements for a new portal environment. I than implemented those requirements into WebCenter as a prove of concept. By doing this project, I learned a lot about WebCenter.
In the beginning I needed to ask a lot of questions on the WebCenter Framework forum but almost never I could find an answer. Google or other search engines didn't help me either, I had to find out the hard way and find it out myself.
After a while I learned enough so I could start answering other people's questions. This felt nice because I actually could help people with the knowledge I acquired. I also knew how frustrating it was to not find answers.
One thing led to another… After months of being very active on the WebCenter framework forum I became the top contributor in the forum and was almost the only person who actually gave answers. That's why I came up with the idea to share my knowledge so I started writing a few papers. Because of this, I got contacted by Packt Publishing asking me to write a book about WebCenter. Could you refuse such an offer? I couldn't so I wrote the WebCenter 11g Administration Cookbook.
I also started to think on how we could elevate the community so people could find answers more often. People told me about the ADF methodology group and maybe it should be a good idea to have such a group for WebCenter so I started asking questions and after a few weeks, the WebCenter EMG was born.
I'm also the Enterprise 2.0 SIG leader for OBUG (Oracle Benelux User Group). Becuae of my recent move to the UK I will no longer be able to organize events in the Benelux although it would be nice...
As of Februari 2012 I got nominated for Oracle ACE. This is a big achievement for me. I am very pleased to see that Oracle acknoledges my work and gives me that status. I will not let them down and will keep on working hard and providing usefull information to the community!
Currently I am always thinking on how to help the community and how can we spread the knowledge.
This is a short story on how I rolled into the world of WebCenter and Enterprise 2.0
Beside WebCenter I of course have a live… Although WebCenter consumes a lot of my time, I do have hobbies… WebCenter for example. Oh wait, let's not talk about WebCenter for a few second please…
Alright, I have a very lovely wife called Celine. We just got married the 2nd of July 2010. We lived hapily in Ghent, Belgium but because i joined InfoMENTUM in September 2011, we moved to Surbiton, London. I must say, I have to thank my wife very much. Without her support, the big chance in our life would not be possible!
Besides WebCenter I have another large passion being astronomy. I have my own telescope which I love to set up on clear and dark night. I am specialized in astrophotography which of course also involves a lot IT… A lot of wires to connect, difficult software to configure and lots of time and patience is needed… A good picture can take up from a few hours to even a few nights… You can take a look at the pictures I shot on my other blog Passero.be. It is in Dutch but photos don't speak a language I guess. I'm also the vice-president of our local start gazing club. From time to time I organize lectures about astronomy or give them myself.
That's about it… If you want to know anything else than you just need to ask me…
My company is going to upgrade from Oracle portal 10g to Oracle webcenter 11g.The question we all have is ,
1.Can we still use pl/sql code which we have for existung application?
2.If answer is no then what have to do to support those apps?
3.In 11g can we still build new application using pl/sql?
I really apreciate your help.
Thank you very much.
Janak Shah
Iam Happy to read about and your hobbies on other portal, within you inspiration I am now more interested to learn more about Oracle Webcenter and Portlets....
As your desire is a true and pure to share knowledge Even I wish god almighty to give you the best thing in the life and Fulfil all your desire as you wish.
All the Best.
Thanks & Regards,
Hello Yannick,
I am just wondering whether I can have our old exting JSR 286 application ported to Webcenter with out using WSRP concept? can you please confirm this?
Hello Yannick,
I was working on ADF from last 4 years and recently started on webcenter. And I came across your website. Amazing work .... A lot thanks from my side.
Is there a way we can enable inline editing in Content presenter template so that changes done from the WebCenter Portal will be saved in the UCM.
Hi Yannick,
I am working on ADf and Webcenter for last 1 nd half year, I really want to make a good hands on in this technology. Previously I have gone through many blogs and discussion, but I think this is the first time I am writing here. One thing I can say your making understanding through blog is excellent because you take the approach very practicaly.
By the way I have gone through your astrophotography , they where really amazing. Even I am also into photography for last few years.
Thanks will be looking for more blogs.
I did a lot of google but could not find a single crude version of Webcenter Projects Estimation Template. Can you publish something in that regard... a generic one listing features of webcenter ... complexity definition etc ..
Any crude version will be of great help.
Your knowledge sharing as far as Webcenter Portal Development is a Ray of hope and backing help for many developers out there who is sturggling get things align Giant Oracle tools together. Any materials and suggestions would be a blessing, if that is combined as a book then its boon. So your effort is much more fruitful to many and your will be boosted to share your knowledge beyond.
Hi Yannick,
I would like to thank you for your great effort in simpling webcenter topis to me by your admin cook book as well as your instant replies in OTN. I just started my initial carrer in webcenter in 3 months and now with your book, I am able to gain confidence a lot there. Thanks a lot.
Hi Yannick,
I have recently started working on Oracle BPM Studio in which I model applications which use technology related to ADF,SOA and BPM.
Your first tutorial on ADF was quite interesting and showed me a light for my path...Hoping for your next tutorails eagerly.
Nice to get associated with you as a part of Oracle.
Dear Yannick,
It's nice to hear your story; Learning webcenter the hard way. I just started learning this technology after having spent 10 years in Documentum. I feel like Documentum is losing momentum these days, and oracle seems to be the way forward.
I hope your knowledge and blogs would me in learning the new technology. I appreciate your giving back to the society.
Hi Yannick,
I have just started using webcenter and have gone thru the your blog. It is really helpful to start the webcenter.
I have a requirement, which is to show the notification on the webcenter screen when some thing changes in the database table(custom table). Is there any way to achieve this using the notification services in webcenter?

Hi Yannick,
Thanks a lot for your great work. I have been working with Oracle ADF and Webcenter since 2010. Initially I worked on my fmw demos to showcase the features of e2.0 and now I moved to production side. Is their any internet portal solution with webcenter portal spaces or portal framework ? It would be a great help if you can explain more features of webcenter portal REST services and consuming the same with ADF mobile.
Thanks in advance,
Gireesh kumar

I mean I understand why he fired me, I did take a lot off but I always gave him 3-4 weeks notice. But the thing that really made me mad was the way he reacted and what he said. I just felt like it was really unnecessary for him to say some of those things to me.

You do your job well.
Your boss writes a glowing recommendation, which is incredibly useful.
You take a lot of time off, which if you used your sick and/or vacation days, then he can't really say shit.
And now he's upset.
Sounds about right, to be honest, I would go to his office and rip up the recommendation letter, since if you put him as a reference on your resume, their probably going to call him, and if you leave a job on bad terms, that can basically ruin your career.
When an ex-employer can basically trash talk you for hours, it's happened to me plenty of times.
Since you don't work there anymore, it's up to you if you want to try and patch things up with your ex-employer, and I would give that a shot, can't lose anything, just lay it down, remind him that your quality of work was always excellent, if he won't here any of it, don't put him on your resume.
It's kind of hard to walk away from that, and it may be a bit difficult finding another job if you have no other references, but it's better then having someone always ruining your chance at a better job.
And to everyone who keeps repeating "Well, that's just how it goes, get used to it" That's not how it goes, and it never should, if the OP used his sick and/or vacation days, I would suggest speaking with HR about that, no one should be fired for taking time off that you are legally required to have access to, and if you didn't, and you just took time off, regardless of notice, there is nothing really to do here, move on and learn from it all.
Or cry, that works too.
