0251 Colossians: Living Life in the Supremacy and Fullness of Christ
Cassandra Asberry
2 CEU units
Colossians is a key book for supporting Christ's deity and supremacy. With Christ as our King, how should we then live? What does it mean to be "Christ-like?" This course will outline the theological and practical foundations for Christian living in every aspect of our lives: personally, professionally, socially, and relationally. Knowing and believing that Christ is Lord causes us to rest in Him and to glorify Him in all situations and circumstances of life.
4124 Discovering Biblical Identity: Christians and the Imago Dei
David Stackhouse
2 CEU units
American culture is obsessed with image, both bodily and socially. These concepts seep into American churches, robbing believers of the joy inherent in being His children. The concept of the imago die, or being made in God's image, is largely undervalued and misunderstood. Eating disorders, mid-life crisis, pornography and more are behaviors rooted in a distortion of this doctrine.
This class reorients a student's self-concept, strengthening them to face who they really are, both good and sinful. This reorientation frees the student to walk in the joy of Christ and his work on the Cross. This class actively engages American culture, thought, icons, etc. to help the student identify and critique a faulty concept of man and image.
Note: This class has elective homework assignments meant for supplemental learning.

3036 Music, Animals and Movies: What Do Everyday Things Teach Us About God?
Dr. Carisa Ash
2 CEU units
Romans 1:20 states, "For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made."
Do you wonder how Sunday relates to your Monday through Saturday life? Maybe you wonder if the everyday things of this world teach us anything about God? If so, this course is designed for you! We will explore the teaching of Scripture about the world God created. We will examine Jonathan Edwards' understanding of everyday things as they relate to God. We will listen to music, watch movie clips, and look more carefully at the world around us for glimpses of God.

4155 Thinking Christianly in a Post-Christian World
Justin Gordon
2 CEU units
How would you explain your worldview? What is your worldview for that matter? Is your worldview biblical? This course explores the definition of worldview, the history of the concept, and what role our worldview plays in forming our beliefs and engaging with the worldviews of others in our culture. This course helps Christians communicate a distinctly Christian worldview as well as detect the worldviews of others so as to better share the gospel in an increasingly post-Christian culture.

0227 Daniel: Understanding God's Sovereignty in Human History
Linda Liu
2 CEU units
When people speak about Daniel, they think of the faithful prophet who survived the lions' den with God's help or who was the friend of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Daniel 7-11, however, is a little scarier to navigate for the typical Bible student. This course helps the student recognize the main points of each chapter as well as to be able to articulate the key themes to the book. You will learn about God's sovereignty, the role of angels, and the eschatological goals of history and mankind. In addition, we will explore some of the cults that have adopted false perceptions of the topic of apocalypse. Finally, the student will relate these important themes to their own lives.
- Textbook: Dale Ralph Davis. The Message of Daniel (The Bible Speaks Today). Downers Grove: InterVarsity, 2013.
0060 God's Greatest Story
Jesse Martinez
2 CEU units
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible proclaims the beauty and character of the Christian God. How does the Old Testament fit with the New? Too often, teaching in our churches focuses on individual passages and rarely provides the birds eye view on how God's salvation plan weaves a common thread that binds all of Scripture together. This class will enrich your faith greatly as you see the wonderful, harmonious, continuous plan that God presents throughout His Scriptures.

4515 Like No Other: The Extraordinary Uniqueness of Jesus Christ
Cecil Price
2 CEU units
We think we know Jesus Christ. We have heard his name mentioned most of our lives. Yet, so many people still express various opinions about him containing faulty information.
This course examines the historical Jesus with a distinct focus on the Bible's reliability as presented in the Gospel accounts of the New Testament. You will examine how the Jesus of Scripture contrasts with many of the viewpoints of popular culture, how Jesus Christ differs from the founders of other major religions, and how both Old and New Testaments harmonize the identity of the Messiah. You will be able to critique and evaluate misguided contemporary claims made about Jesus while being able to communicate the foundational truths of his identity from Scripture, as well as knowing how to clearly share the gospel message of Jesus Christ with others.
- Textbook: Price, Cecil. The Unique One: 18 Distinctives of Jesus Christ. Dallas: Bible Message Publications, 2014.
4505 The Life of Abraham
Rachel McDonald
2 CEU units
Abraham is a key character in Scripture. What does Scripture say about him? Did he ever fail? What were the ramifications of God's choice of Abraham as the father of Israel? This course follows Abraham's life in order to show him as the unique biblical character he was. You will relate to Abraham as a fellow human being and watch his development of faith in God through unusual circumstances.

LI 01 – Bible Study Methods
Faculty video: Dr. Mark Bailey, Dr. Howard Hendricks
2 CEU units
Tools. Like a construction worker uses different tools to build a house, we need tools to properly discern what the Bible is teaching us. The goal of Bible Study Methods is not that we may know more about the Bible, but that through a methodological approach to studying the Bible, we may know more of the Triune God and in knowing we may be spurred on to love and good deeds (Heb 10:19-25). This course teaches you to extract meaning out of Scripture using the tools of observation, interpretation, correlation and application. Different tools need to be applied at different times.
- Textbook: Howard Hendricks. Living by the Book. Chicago: Moody Press, 2007.
LI 02 - Thinking About the Christian God
Faculty video: Dr. Scott Horrell, Dr. Michael Svigel, Dr. Glenn Kreider, Dr. Nathan Holsteen
2 CEU units
We love the Bible because it is God's word. But do we know how to think of God properly and comprehensively? Do we have a well-developed theological framework for interpreting Scripture so that we can know God accurately? This course will teach you the fundamentals about what makes Christianity "Christian." In this course you will deepen your understanding of the Trinity, mankind and culture, sin, salvation and what is the purpose of studying end times.
LI 03 - Developing Godly Leadership Skills
Faculty Video: Dr. Howard Hendricks
2 CEU units
Do you feel as though leadership should be left to the rare few? Not so! There are many areas of life where we are called to be leaders—as parents, at work, at church, and in our community. When we realize that leadership is not an option, the question then becomes, how do I lead well?
Join us as we learn Godly leadership skills. In this class we will go to Scripture to study leadership principles from the example of Moses and Jesus. Next, we will discover your leadership style so that you may have the greatest impact on the people you find in your care.
LI 04 - John: When the Word Became Flesh
Faculty Video: Dr. Mark Bailey
2 CEU units
What do you think of this statement: deity takes on flesh. Jesus, the Son of God assumes humanity in order to save mankind. The book of John opens with this miraculous event and continues to present Jesus' words about himself and His role in salvation. Know Jesus as the God/Man. Know Him through the great I Am's. Know Him as He presented Himself. Your faith will be enriched; your love of Christ deepened and as a result so will your love for one another. Join us in this class in worship of our Savior. 2 CEU units.

Sex crimes, even if only misdemeanors, are politically sensitive and therefore are closely scrutinized by judges and prosecutors. It is pretty much accepted that almost any sexually charged case can be viewed as a "crime of violence". As such the courts sometimes see a defendant as a potentially violent offender. If the judge sees the offense as one in a pattern of escalating conduct, the penalties will be more severe than otherwise, and several months of psychotherapy may be included in the sentence imposed.
Misdemeanor sex crimes include indecent exposure (which is punishable by up to one year in jail, and/or $1,000 fine and probation) and unnatural and lascivious acts (which is punishable by up to sixty days in jail, and/or a $500 fine and probation.
Solicitation for prostitution and related "sex for hire" offenses are enhanced penalty crimes which means that each conviction increases the possible punishment imposed. A first offense is punishable by up to sixty days jail time and/or $500 fine; a second offense is a first degree misdemeanor and punishable by up to one year in jail and/or $1,000 fine and probation. A third offense can be charged as a third degree felony which has a maximum five years in prison and/or $5,000 fine and probation.
Misdemeanor sex offenses carry their "built-in" punishments of public notoriety by publication of a defendant's name in local newspapers, and possible loss of employment. If a defendant is found guilty, such a misdemeanor record will likely hinder obtaining future employment and security clearances.

I have previously discussed the importance of sunscreen, but it's equally important to discuss the risk of artificial tanning and the use of tanning beds. I've emphasized that it's never too young to start using sunscreen, but for some reason teens think that tanning beds are a safer way to tan than going out in the sun.
Not so. Tanning beds use UVA radiation, which can cause mutations in your DNA, which can then lead to skin cancers. Dermatologists are seeing an increase in the number of young women (who are more likely to use tanning booths) in their mid- to late 20s with the deadliest form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma. Many of these women admit to frequent tanning during their teen years.

What is AQI?
The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health concerns you should be aware of. The AQI focuses on health effects that can happen within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA uses the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect against harmful health. (EPA-454K-03-002, August 2003, http://www.airnow.gov/)

The pilot and a pilot-rated passenger were flying the airplane to a local airport in order to have an annual inspection completed. During the landing roll on the grass runway, the landing gear encountered soft terrain. Subsequently, the nose landing gear collapsed and the left wing contacted terrain. Examination of the airplane revealed that the left wing was bent aft at the wing root. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The pilot stated that the airport owner told them someone had landed on the grass runway earlier that day so they decided the surface was adequate for landing.

Known problems
Database connectivity issues
Window is a reserved word in ASA
In Adaptive Server® Anywhere 9, the word "window" is a reserved word. As a result, SELECT statements on a column with the name window do not work correctly. There are several ways to work around this issue:
Set the DelimitIdentifier database parameter to "Yes" in the ConnectString.
Set the ASA database option "SET OPTION NON_KEYWORDS = 'WINDOW'".
Enclose the column name in quotation marks in SQL statements.
Pipeline execution with JDBC driver fails
Executing a pipeline with the destination Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.5 when using the JDBC driver fails with the database error 2762. [CR 338371]
Table updates not handled by OLE DB provider for Adaptive Server
The PB DataDirect OLE DB data provider for Adaptive Server Enterprise does not correctly handle table updates in the Database painter. [CR 338363, CR 338366]
DataDirect ODBC XML driver issues
You cannot create an ODBC XML data source name (DSN) using the DataDirect 5.1 ODBC driver. [CR 408671]
Informix interface does not work with UTF-8
The IN9 Informix database interface cannot update and retrieve data when the Informix server uses the UTF-8 character set. The interface works correctly with ANSI and DBCS. [CR 349535]
Alter table limitations with OLE DB and Microsoft SQL Server
When you connect using OLE DB and change the name or width of a column in a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database using Alter Table in the Database painter, the column is moved to the end of the table and all its data is lost. To prevent this from occurring, InfoMaker does not allow you to alter a table's column name and column size. You can alter the table outside the painter using ISQL scripts. [CR 348581]
PB DataDirect Oracle driver issues
If you create a table in the Database painter using the PB DataDirect 5.1 Oracle driver and give it a name that has all lowercase characters, the table columns cannot be seen in the Layout view. They display correctly after you select Tables>Refresh. [CR 348038]
The PB DataDirect OLE DB data provider for Oracle does not correctly handle inserts, updates, and display for Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese data. [CR 338372]
Oracle stored procedures with output parameters
An Oracle stored procedure with output parameters produces an ORA-01036 error at runtime if you connect using ODBC, OLE DB, JDBC, or ADO.NET. The stored procedure runs correctly using the Oracle native driver. [CR 343297]
OraOleDB faster than Oracle8ADOProvider
When you use an OLE DB connection to an Oracle9i database, the Table list or View list displays much more quickly in the Database painter if you use OraOleDB instead of the Oracle8ADOProvider. [CR 341835]
Connection issues with CnnPool
In the Database painter, attempting to connect to an Oracle9i or Oracle 10g database from an Oracle9i client fails after a connect and disconnect if the CnnPool database parameter is set to 'Yes'. This is because the Oracle9i client does not support connection pooling with a Unicode environment handle. [CR 355639]
Microsecond portion of Adaptive Server times not retrieved
When you use the OLE DB interface to connect to an Adaptive Server Enterprise database and select a column with the DateTime or Time datatype, the microsecond portion of the time value is not retrieved. When you use the ODBC and JDBC interfaces, the microsecond portion of a DateTime column value is retrieved correctly, but the microsecond portion of a Time column value is not. [CR 399257]
ASE version 15 with ODBC driver
Retrieving and updating data in a DataStore with a TimeStamp datatype fails when you connect to an ASE version 15 server using the Sybase ASE ODBC driver. This is due to a bug in the ASE ODBC driver. [CR 416248]
Report painter issues
AutoSize Height issues with header band
When two reports are included one above the other in the header band of a report and the AutoSize. Height property is set to true for the header band and false for the detail band, the report displays incorrectly in preview. The lower report overlaps the upper report. The report displays correctly if the Autosize. Height property is set to true in both the header and detail bands. [CR 405033]
XSL-FOP save as PDF does not support graphic controls
Use the distill method to export the data in reports that contain graphic controls, such as lines and rectangles, to PDF. The XSL-FOP method does not work correctly for graphic controls. [CR 303829]
Limitations in default PostScript drivers
The PostScript drivers installed with InfoMaker do not support searching the generated PDF file. [CR 332365]
The PostScript drivers installed with InfoMaker do not support searching the generated PDF file, and when a report has more columns than fit on a single page, so that data is wrapped to a new page in the PDF file, sometimes the last column on each page is clipped. The workaround is to use an alternative driver. See the InfoMaker 10.5 Installation Guide on the Sybase Product Manuals Web site for how to install and use an alternative driver.

Other issues
Truncated string in saved EMF file
Sometimes a string in a text control in a report is longer than can be displayed in the control in the Design view in the Report painter. If this occurs, an EMF file saved in the painter or at runtime displays with the string truncated. [CR 342797]
Web ActiveX download fails on Windows XP
The DataWindow® Web Control for ActiveX fails to download its CAB file to a client browser running on Windows XP if the Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL) module, atl71.dll, is not present in the Windows\System32 directory. The CAB file downloads successfully if the ATL DLL is present.
AutoSize group header band distorted in print preview mode
The AutoSize group header band is formatted correctly in normal mode but it is distorted in print preview mode. The column headers at the bottom of the group header band are overlapped by the detail band. [CR 421766]

Domini tam Spirituales
quam Temporales, quorum nomina subscribuntur,
præsentes fuerunt:
A Message sent to the Commons, by
Mr. Justice Yelverton, and
Mr. Serjeant Crewe:
That their Lordships did heretofore desire a Meeting,
by Committees of both Houses, about Matters of great
Importance, for Defence of the Land; and they met
accordingly; and divers Things were offered unto the
Consideration of the House of Commons, for their Advices therein; but as yet no Answer hath been returned. And now the Importancy of the Service, and Slipping-away of the Time, do occasion their Lordships to
desire the same.
They will return Answer, by Messengers of their
The Lord President reported the Bill for Confirmation
of Hospitals and Free-schools fit to pass, with one
Which was read 1a et 2a
vice, and the Bill Ordered
to be ingrossed accordingly.
His Lordship also reported the Bill for Increase of
Trade fit to pass, with some Amendments; but all that
Part of that Bill which concerns the keeping of Silver
and Gold within the Realm fit to be taken away.
Which Amendments were read 1a et 2a
vice, and
the Bill Ordered to be ingrossed accordingly.
The Reference of the Lord Bishop of Lincoln's Answer
was thus reported by the Earl of Bridgewater, one of
the Committee for Petitions: videlicet,
The Lords Committees for Petitions, having considered the Lord Bishop of Lincoln's Answer, do conceive
these Two Defects therein: First, in that his Lordship
doth not clearly acknowledge his Contempt to the House,
in neglecting to follow their Direction, and thereby disobeying their Order. Secondly, in that his Lordship lays
an Aspersion upon the Lords Sub-committees appointed to
peruse the Journal Book, in justifying that the Order in
his Answer mentioned will not be warranted by the
Clerk's Book, but was drawn up contrary to the Intention of the House; although he saw it justified under
the Hands of Six of the said Sub-committee, to be truly entered by the Clerk; the which Sub-committee had
Authority from the House to meet after the End of the
Session (Anno 21 Jacobi), to peruse and perfect the
Journal Book.
And that, as touching this, their Advice is, That the
said Sub-committee be cleared; and that the Lord Bishop of Lincoln shall acknowledge the Order touching
Pinckney, 28 Maii 1624, to be an Order of this
House, truly and justly entered; and that his Lordship
shall signify unto the House, that he is sorry that he did
formerly mistake the same, and thereby gave just Offence to the House, and to the Lords of the Sub-committee who had subscribed the said Order; and that he
doth acknowledge his Error, and ask their Lordships
Pardon therein.
All which was Ordered accordingly.
And as touching the Relief of Tymothy Pinckney, the
Earl of Bridgewater further reported, That their Lordships are informed, that there rests in the Hands of
James Trussell, William Taylor, and William Tuliey, (late
Sequestrators of Barne Elmes) the Sum of Two Hundred
and Eighty nine Pounds; of which will rest clear, their
own Debts being satisfied, but Two Hundred and Twenty four Pounds; and that there rests in the Chancery,
not as yet disposed of, about One Hundred Pounds; all
which their Lordships think fit, that the Lord Keeper
take into his Consideration, whether, out of these, or
any Thing else that shall appear unto his Lordship, any
Relief may in Justice and Equity be afforded unto the
said Petitioner Pinckney; and afterwards, Pinckney being satisfied, to consider what Satisfaction may be given unto
Sir William Paddy, for a Debt owing unto him by Sir
John Kennedey, deceased.
Which was also Ordered accordingly.
A Message from the Commons, by Mr. Secretary
Cooke and others:
That they had received their Lordships Message this
Morning, for Answer unto certain Things which were offered to be advised upon by a Committee of both Houses;
which also had been formerly reported to their House,
That the Commons do intend to hold all good Correspondency with the Lords, and will decline all Things that
may tend to the contrary; and they do assure their
Lordships, that they will be ever careful of the Safety
and Defence of the Realm; maintaining their own Privileges, as is sitting.
Hereupon the House was moved, That the Lords Committees for Defence of the Realm, &c. might meet presently, and proceed. Which their Lordships did accordingly.
This Day the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Dodderidge, and Mr. Justice Yelverton, reported to the House,
That they had, according to the Order made Yesterday,
upon the Earl of Bristoll's Petition, considered of Carewe Raleigh's Bill for Restitution in Blood; which they
find to be general; and also of the Proviso added
thereunto for Sherborne, which they find to (fn. *) be particular; and it is good and available in Law unto the
said Earl of Bristoll, according to the Words thereof;
and that the said Proviso is an Act of itself.
Hodie 3a
vice lecta est Billa prædicta, for Restitution
in Blood of Carew Raleigh.
Put to the Question, and generally Assented unto.
And sent down to the Commons, by
Mr. Attorney General, and
Mr. Serjeant Crew.
The Lord Chamberlain reported, That the Lords
Committees on the Bill exhibited by the Earl of Nottingham, for reversing of a Decree in the Court of
Wards, &c. think it fit that the said Bill shall sleep.
Ordered accordingly.
The Lord President reported, That the Lords Committees for Petitions have conceived an Order, upon Petition exhibited unto this House by Sir Edward Waterhowse, against Sir Arthure Ingram, which was read in
hæc verba: videlicet,
"Whereas Sir Edward Waterhowse, Knight, hath
exhibited a Petition in Parliament against Sir Arthure
Ingram, Knight, for the reviving of his Complaint
comprized in a former Petition of the said Sir Edward
Waterhowse against the said Sir Arthure, and by him
answered, but remaining undetermined, the last Parliament of our late Sovereign Lord King James; and
whereas, upon the Hearing thereof before the Lords
Committees for Petitions, upon Thursday the Second
of this Instant March, after divers very just and reasonable Offers and Propositions made to the said Sir
Edward by the said Sir Arthure, and refused by the
said Sir Edward, he the said Sir Edward Waterhowse
denied a Release, bearing Date 24 Maii, 9 Jacobi,
then produced by the said Sir Arthure, in Bar of
the Sums of Money demanded by him the said Sir Edward, to be his the said Sir Edward Waterhouse's
Deed, or that the Name of the said Sir Edward, subscribed to the said Release, was his the said Sir Edward's Hand-writing; and offered, that, if the said
Sir Arthure could prove the same Release, then he
would be satisfied, and forbear any further Suit against the said Sir Arthure; which Offer the said Sir
Arthure accepted; and thereupon, by Consent of
both the said Parties, it was Ordered by their
Lordships, That the said Sir Arthure Ingram should
produce his Proofs of the said Release before them;
and that, if he should prove the same Release to the
Satisfaction of their Lordships, that then the said Sir
Edward should (according to his said Offer) rest satisfied, and forbear the further Prosecution of any Suit
against the said Sir Arthure Ingram; and that, in Default of such Proof, the said Sir Arthure Ingram should
pay the said Sir Edward Waterhowse, the full Sum of
Seventeen Hundred Pounds: Now, forasmuch that
the said Sir Arthure hath produced his Proofs of the
said Release, and thereby given full Satisfaction to
their Lordships of the Truth and Validity of the said
Release; it is Ordered, That the said Sir Edward
Waterhowse shall rest satisfied, and not any further
prosecute any Suit against the said Sir Arthure Ingram, according to his own Consent and Agreement."
And also the said Sir Arthure Ingram was cleared by
the House, of all Aspersions that any way might reflect
upon him by the Complaint of the said Sir Edward Waterhowse.

Petra Italian Signature Ballet Flats 29 29
lovely little ballets I so badly needed a new pair of ballets and these are wonderful. I bought black suede and think they will go with everything from slacks to dressy for the holidays.Beautiful craftsmanship. Very, very comfy. October 28, 2014
Decent fit, pungent odor I struggle with flats. Almost all of them end up hurting or fitting terribly. Purchased a pair from GH many years ago and they ultimately worked well, so I thought I'd give these a try. These are relatively flimsy with no support, but that's a ballet flat. I suspect they'll stretch readily, which is good because I agree with other customers that they hit right at the joint of the big toe and may rub for the first few wears. I like the suede, but of course this makes them less versatile (can't wear in the rain) and not polishable, so any flaw will stand out. Lastly, they smell a bit like turpentine or something of that ilk - hoping they'll off-gas quickly! Still, I tried on 8 pairs of high end flats and these caused me the least distress and they look nice. Pleased, overall. October 21, 2014
Very Nice Flat Love this little shoe. Great colors and textures. I have bought five pairs over the years and enjoy wearing them all. A bit wide for my foot so I just add a shoe insert that takes care of it. October 18, 2014
Great shoes Love the ballet flats, but run a "hair" large. Have bought in the past and do run true to size, but this pair are larger than the normal 6 I know 5 1/2 would be too small, so will put in an instep for better fit October 12, 2014
Not as nice as last year I bought a pair of these last year and loved them. Bought the navy pair this year and find it runs small, feels like a 9 1/2 instead of a 10. Just not comfortable. Also, the black cap on the right shoe looks crooked. Will be returning these, sadly. October 3, 2014
Petra Ballet Flat Love these! Want one in every color!!!!! They fit well & are great quality. October 1, 2014

Brian De Palma is an American film director, writer, and producer, whose career has spanned over four decades. Beginning in the 1970's, he has created some of the movie industry's most prolific and controversial pictures. The director is most well known for his gory and disturbing thrillers, which are sometimes compared to the films of the great horror filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.
De Palma was born into a Roman Catholic family on September 11, 1940 in Newark, New Jersey. His father was an orthopedic surgeon, and the filmmaker later attributed his fascination with gore to be the result of watching his father at work so many times. Growing up he went to various Quaker schools, where he became deeply interested in physics and science. He even won a top prize at a regional science fair during high school. De Palma also found interest in electronics, and worked on designing his own computers. For college, he attended Columbia University to major in physics. Once there – after watching classics like Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" (1958) and Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" (1941) – he became interested in movies. While still at Columbia, he made a few films himself: "Icarus" (1960), "660124: The Story of an IBM Card" (1961), and "Woton's Wake" (1962). De Palma subsequently enrolled in Sarah Lawrence College (one of the first men to do so) as a graduate student in their theater department, and was greatly influenced by various teachers such as Andy Warhol and Alfred Hitchcock himself.
In the beginning, the director's films were mainly black and white, like "Bridge That Gap" (1965). They would later become color though. His first theatrical release came only a few years later, with 1968's crime comedy "Murder à la Mod". He then quickly spotted a new actor by the name of Robert De Niro, and gave him his first credited acting job in De Palma's comedy "Greetings" (1968). They were eager to work together again, and both contributed to two additional features, "The Wedding Party" (1969) and "Hi, Mom!" (1970) (however, "The Wedding Party" was actually filmed before "Greetings", but was released later).
After working with De Niro, the director made his first studio film, with Warner Brothers, "Get to Know Your Rabbit" (1972), a comedy about a corporate executive who quits his job to take up the position of a tap-dancing musician. Due to tension on set, De Palma returned to independent filmmaking with his subsequent thrillers, "Sisters" (1973), "Phantom of the Paradise" (1974), and "Obsession" (1976). He was soon offered the chance to direct an adaptation of a Stephen King novel titled "Carrie" (1976). In the film, a teased and withdrawn teenage girl learns she has telekinetic powers that are heightened when she becomes angry. It starred Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, and John Travolta, and quickly became De Palma's first true box office hit. Thanks to the success of the latter, the director was granted more money to create his horror feature, "The Fury" (1978), and comedy flick "Home Movies" (1980).
The filmmaker's subsequent picture, "Dressed to Kill" (1980), became one of his most controversial, but paid true homage to Hitchcock with its own shower scene. While graphic – with murder and rape – and disturbing enough to have earned De Palma the title of a misogynist by many female critics, the film proved to be lucrative at the theater. Next came another thriller with John Travolta, "Blow Out" (1981), but this time it turned out to be a disappointment. Quick to redeem himself, he directed the highly successful Howard Hawke gangster drama "Scarface" in 1983, starring Al Pacino as Cuban émigré Tony Montana. While similar to De Palma's other films with its extensive violence, it actually became his first full realized drama. He soon came out with another Hitchcock-esque feature, "Body Double" (1984), which while criticized for its gore, especially by women groups, earned a small cult following. He recovered from this disappointment by releasing a more mainstream picture, "The Untouchables" (1987), a violent look into the partnership of Elliot Ness (Kevin Costner) and Chicago police officer (Sean Connery), who tried to take down infamous criminal Al Capone (Robert De Niro). The piece was hailed as a masterpiece by critics and audiences alike, earning four Academy Award nods. The director switched to another time in history next, with the Vietnam War based "Casualties of War" (1989). Unfortunately, it did not catch on at the box office. He found an ever greater failure following, though, as his take on a Tome Wolfe novel, "Bonfire of the Vanities" (1990), received great critical beatings and earned him two Razzie nominations.
De Palma returned to his favorite subject, terror, in "Raising Cain" (1992), and worked once again with Al Pacino in a crime drama, "Carlito's Way" (1993). The latter was one of the filmmaker's best pictures in years. He revisited huge studio production in 1996, with the Tom Cruise spy drama "Mission: Impossible". The action-packed flick enticed viewers everywhere and became the third highest grossing picture that year, as well as De Palma's most profitable to date. He next chose to write and direct a thriller titled "Snake Eyes" (1998), starring Nicholas Cage as a rogue detective stuck in the middle of a murder conspiracy. It ended up being a letdown, garnering few fans. Two years following, he moved away from earth and went to the solar system in the violent sci-fi thriller "Mission to Mars" (2000). De Palma made a comeback to his typical erotic thriller genre with "Femme Fatal" in 2002, which featured Rebecca Romijn-Stamos as an ex-con woman who is haunted by her past when visited by an intrusive photographer played by Antonio Banderas. Following was "The Black Dahlia" (2006), a murder mystery set in 1940s Los Angeles. Both failed to attract much success. He has only released one other film since, "Redacted" (2007), a montage of tales about soldiers fighting in the war.
Although the director/producer/writer has engineered some classic and memorable films, he has yet to be fully recognized for the true merit of his work. His controversial pictures seem to overshadow his more commercial and profitable ones, but De Palma nevertheless always persevered in putting out his vision. He never seemed to care that his works were not hailed greatly by all. During various interviews he admitted: "My films deal with a stylized, expressionistic world that has a kind of grotesque beauty about it… I've never been a conventional artist. So I've always been controversial. People hate me or love me."

Oracle tripped up by 'leap second'
Database giant Oracle has issued fixes after its Cluster Ready Services (CRS) software failed to cope with the so-called "leap second" added by scientists at the end of 2008. The Earth Orientation Centre is responsible for calculating when a leap second should be added or subtracted because the Earth doesn't always orbit …
The Earth always orbits perfectly according to the laws of physics
It's the maths of the boffins keeping the calendar that aren't perfect. Something about the equations not being solvable for more than two bodies and there being considerably more than that in the solar system as I recall.
The Good Old Days
Back before they started having leap seconds, all this was handled by having the clocks just run a bit slower, and nobody, but a few scientists working in specialized areas, was affected by this.
Maybe going back is not the answer, because the Internet is so precisely timed that it is necessary (or, with advancing technology, will soon become necessary) to synchronize to such a high accuracy that even frequent leap 50 millisecond increments would be noticed. Waiting longer, and having leap hours, is not really an option.
But actually making every second longer - not running our clocks, which tell civil time, by Ephemeris Time, letting their seconds tick away a bit slower than SI seconds would - would seem very unobtrusive, if managed right. Quartz clocks would just adjust themselves to an external time standard which would differ less from the old one than their own inherent limitations, and one which only had the seconds in it you would expect to see.
"Cluster Ready Services"?
Could this possibly be the new name for "Cluster F**K Services"?
Nah, surely not.
Oracle vs Zune
Not sure if they play in the same championship. Zune pisses off a few music listeners that spent some hundred quid on that player.
Oracle - well.
I've always wondered why a computer would care about an external time source to such an extent. Even if it's wrong, it still has it's own internal clock I thought. Can somebody explain why a system would reboot or freeze up?
Leap second is due to slowing of Earth's spin, not changes in it's orbit
"the Earth doesn't always orbit perfectly". Is that so? It does wobble about a bit but I'm sure the Earth would claim that it always orbits exactly as it should.
I thought the reason why we had to add the extra second is because the Earth's rotation is slowing (i.e. the days are getting longer), rather than anything to do with the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. We add the extra second to avoid us gradually getting towards the situation where the Sun rises at midday.
"Can somebody explain why a system would reboot or freeze up?"
I imagine the contradtiction of the time going 57 58 59 60 00 rather than 58 59 00 would cause a reboot, unhandled exception or whatever you want to call it.
Odd how the y2k bug that everyone paniced about caused no real issues, but a leap second brings oracle to its knees.

Re: The Good Old Days
> "Waiting longer, and having leap hours, is not really an option."
Sounds like a good option to me, since the crashes would only happen once every few tens of millennia (that's a lot of nines!)
@Simon 15:15
"Odd how the y2k bug that everyone paniced about caused no real issues, but a leap second brings oracle to its knees."
Yes, it is odd isn't it? One would almost think that hundreds of millions of hours had been spent prior to y2k making sure that the problem wouldn't materialise...
My Linux server crashed
My Linux web server went down at the stroke of midnight because of this (or a related) bug. (I believe this Oracle system is Linux-based).
As I understand it, the NTP daemon calls into the kernel to tell it to do the leap second thing. The kernel code that this triggers does something that can cause a crash with some probability low enough not to be detected during testing; I think perhaps it called printk() to output a message, but did this with a lock held which printk() itself needs to take, leading to a deadlock.
Moral of the story? I think that the particular variant that I hit had actually been fixed a while ago, so I could have avoided it by updating. On the other hand, new versions may introduce new problems. More fundamentally, infrequently-exercised code paths are bad: wouldn't it be better to do nothing special for the leap second, and let NTP apply a one second adjustment in the normal way over the next few hours? This would make your clock a second out for a while, but if your system is sensitive to that then I imagine you'll encounter other problems.
It may also be that there are other bugs that cause more frequent crashes, but we don't notice them because they don't all occur simultaneously. If you have a cluster of machines with fail-over, you should try to avoid common-mode failure by diversification, especially anything related to time.
More about my crash here; the links in comment #4 are useful:
It's not the calculations. The major reason is that angular momentum conservation in the Earth-Moon system causes the Earth's rotation to slow down as tidal forces transfer angular momentum from the Earth's rotation to the moons orbit. In other words, the Earth's rotation slows and the Earth-Moon distance increases over time.
Ask an astronomer
@Anthony Wood:
"I thought the reason why we had to add the extra second is because the Earth's rotation is slowing (i.e. the days are getting longer)"
That's correct, up to a point. When the length of the second was standardised in the early 1970s (as part of the SI system of units) in terms of the oscillations of a caesium atom, the value was chosen to match the previous international time standard called Ephemeris Time, which was based on the orbital motion of the Moon and planets.
Unfortunately, that timescale had been defined in such a way that 86,400 seconds were a very good approximation to the length of the day circa the the early 19th century. The Earth's rotation had slowed somewhat in the intervening 150 years, so a day in 1970 was several milliseconds longer than a day in 1820. Those milliseconds add up over the course of a year to give an excess of a whole second, and hence the need for a leap-second every so often.
@John Savard:
"But actually making every second longer ... would seem very unobtrusive, if managed right."
High-precision timekeeping now pervades our lives to such an extent that it would be utterly impractical to adjust the length of the SI second.
In any case, the Earth's rotation will continue to slow down, so even if we re-defined the SI second to match 1/86,400 of the current length of the day, we would only be making trouble for the future.
@Simon Neill
"Odd how the y2k bug that everyone paniced about caused no real issues"
Actually, it caused a bloody great shitload of issues. The difference is that we fixed them before they could cause a problem.
I'm sick of ignorant people saying it was just a big IT con.
Nothing happened because of an awful lot of hard work by people like me.
Earths rotation slows due to the moon.
Earths rotation is slowing, but the slowing isn't consistent. Which is why they cannot predict when a leap second will happen several years in advance. The slowing of Earth rotation has to do with the moon, and the tidal forces it creates. Give Earth enough time, and her rotation has been synched to the rotation of the moon.
BTW, does Oracles fix means that the next time there's a leap second at the end of 2008, servers won't reboot first thing in 2009?
time and reference
I'm sure that the reason why leap seconds are necessary is that the universe is only perfect if treated holisticly.
I don't believe that any scientist or mathematician is arrogant enough to be able to claim that they can take into account all of the significant gravatational objects that could affect both the Earth's orbit or it's rotation. I'm fairly certain that a large asteroid strike, volcanic erruption or earthquake could affect the rotation of the earth, and the solar wind pressure may perturb the orbit enough to introduce a measurable variance in it's orbit. And that's not to mention Andromeda.
So no, the Earth's orbit is not mathematically perfect.
And anyway, who told God that the rotation and orbit of the Earth should follow some nice fixed relationship. It's all a co-incidence.
Is Paris enough of a heavenly body to shake the world?
"the contradiction ... causes a reboot" vs NTP ???
Surely any system with a properly implemented NTP setup should have been able to cope properly with the extra second, because the NTP stuff is designed to automagically correct for differences between time on the NTP client (based on a local and not necessarily reliable ticker) and time provided by an external known-good server (such as another more definitive NTP server, or a GPS, or whatevever)? Any half decent network/system admin knows this, surely?
So, what did Oracle systems/sysadmins get so wrong?
Even my DSL router at home uses NTP, and it didn't get conf
Stop it!
Things should relay on the number of milliseconds since 1970 (or whatever), not the calendar date and time. Its just like floating point rounding: you keep the precision, but you round before you display to the user. Thus you can always map from ms since 1970 to the date, but you can't necessarily map from the date to ms since 1970. Base your programs on the former, and you will be OK.
Caused a reboot?
Probably being very naive here, but why on earth would and application crashing on a server cause the OS to shit itself and reboot?
Word crashed a few days ago and Windows seemed to live through it...?
Or have Oracle taken the final step to raping your budget by developing their own Linux based OS for it's DB app?
Re: Caused a reboot?
> why on earth would and application crashing on a server cause the OS to shit itself and reboot?
The bug was in the kernel, not an application.
Re: Caused a reboot?
> why on earth would and application crashing on a server cause the OS to shit itself and reboot?
The bug was in the kernel, not an application.
> Or have Oracle [... developed] their own Linux based OS for it's[sic] DB app?
Yes, that's what they've done.
so everyone running Oracale on Windows was fine?
by the sounds of it everyone should have stuck to Windows in the first place :)
not sure why they had to do it this way anyway - servers/pcs get out of sync all the time - that's why you have ntp. they should have just update the central time servers.
The bug was in CRS, which, as anyone who has a RAC infrastructure will know, is responsible for the control of the nodes in the cluster. If CRS detects that there is a problem with one of the cluster nodes, it will restart it to maintain cluster integrity. This is why a problem with CRS could cause a server reboot.
please get your facts right
This CRS bug is solved in 10.2.0.4 and 11g - the latest version/patchset who is already some time out. Oracle Support subscribers can check "Note 759143.1 NTP leap second event causing CRS node reboot" on Metalink for more information.
The reason for the earth slowing
Americans get fat and move south to Florida. Conservation of angular momentum means that the earth's rotation slows as a result.

Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about.

|Voiced by:
| Wally Burr[1]
Pat Harrington, Jr.[2]
The Atom is a superhero who is a member of the Justice League of America. He has the ability to decrease the size of his body, in other words, he can shrink himself.
Continuity from Filmation's DC Superheroes Adventures (1967-1968)
The Atom (Ray Palmer) first appears in the Filmation produced shorts, shown during The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. He works as a professor, investigating scientific revolutions in plant-life, size manipulation and genetics. Often, he finds himself in situations involving scientific outcomes which he, as the Atom, has an increased advantage to overcome.]
Background Information
On the parallel-universe of Earth-One, the Atom is the physicist and university professor Ray Palmer. Using a mass of white dwarf star matter, he fashioned a lens which allowed him to shrink down to subatomic size. Originally, his size and molecular density abilities derived from the white dwarf star material of his costume, controlled by mechanisms in his belt, and later by controls in the palms of his gloves. He carries out the bulk of his early superheroic adventures in his home of Ivy Town where he often helps his girlfriend, lawyer Jean Loring, win her cases.[4]
