Runaway System Cache Increase Kills SQL
Apr 21st
Posted by Allen Kinsel in Memory
Ran into this a while back, and we finally found a root cause so, I thought Id put it out here in hopes that it saves at least 1 person the amount of head bashing I had with it
Windows 2003 Enterprise R2 SP2 w/32GB RAM
SQL Server 2005 standard ed SP3 64bit active/passive cluster
We started seeing this glorious message in the SQL Server Error log.
A significant part of sql server process memory has been paged out. This may result in performance degradation. Duration XX seconds. Working set (KB) XXX, committed (KB) XXX, memory utilization 0%
The message varied slightly but the essence was always the same.
This error message can be too common on systems where SQL memory is misconfigured or where something is unduly pressuring SQL for memory. In this case a quick verification of the settings showed that everything was in order. The first 2 times this happened it was the middle of the night during backups(in the SLA window), so no one really noticed a performance degradation. We didn't think much of it at the time but in hindsight, we should have.
The Failure
Monday morning 8 AM, developer makes a bad update to the database, No problem I say, Litespeed can rollback the transaction, So I start to copy the full db backup+tran logs off the server (~25gb) this is the way we process litespeed recoveries through the log reader. About 3 minutes later the server became totally unresponsive, and the error about paging the SQL process memory was logged. At the time I didn't put 2 and 2 together as this particular server runs a varied workload of about 1500 batches/sec and has anywhere from 1200-2500 connections open at a time, so It could have been anything! After some further digging I figured out that the file copies were causing the sql memory to get paged out. At the time I had never heard of a file copy causing an issue in SQL Server!
The experts weigh in
While looking at the issue 2 perfmon counters stuck out–> Memory\Cached Bytes and Memory\Avail MBytes. While file copies were happening the cache bytes counter would increase very quickly while the avail bytes counter would drop, once the available mbytes dropped to 0 sql server started to page memory out. After a bit of paging, the errors were logged that SQL had its memory paged out and SQL became unresponsive. Since this was a high priority system, I did what any good SQL Server DBA would do, I contacted a few people in my network who may have seen this before. Interestingly enough I got the exact same response from every one of them, "use lock pages in memory" and don't use windows explorer to do huge file copies as this is a known "problem".
Even though I trusted my sources of info, I had a hard time believing that file copies of sizes all the way down to 1GB would cause this sort of havoc without this being something Bing+Google would know about (different file sizes mattered, some sizes worked fine, some would cause the problem).
Workarounds not welcome
I had a valid workaround with lock pages in memory and not using explorer for file copies but, I don't normally like workarounds such as this on systems as important as this one is to us. After a few server rebuilds we finally figured out that we could reproduce this issue on any win2k3 R2 ent ed 64bit server, this would be the clue we finally needed to make a breakthrough. After rebuilding the systems from scratch and loading no drivers except SAN we noticed that we couldn't cause the error! So, after painstakingly adding each and every piece of our standard server build we realized that Symantec AV (10.1.9.9) was the cause. Yes, another file system filter driver was misbehaving.
In looking back through the change communication, we ID'd where a new version of AV was pushed out and we just didn't hit the error soon enough after the installation to put 2 & 2 together. Since disabling AV wasn't an option we started trying to find a setting that specifically caused the problem and happened across a change that could be made and allow AV to run and SQL to not get paged out. By unchecking the network scanning options, the windows cache no longer increases during a (network) file copy. problem solved!!
Some time in the future vendors are going to figure out how to write good file system filter drivers, or they are going to stop trying to use them! After fighting this issue for a few weeks (or was it months) I can only hope this happens sooner rather than later

Developing Better SQL Speakers
Mar 30th
Posted by Allen Kinsel in Ramblings
I've been focusing on different aspects of speakers and their interactions with PASS lately. Id like to expand on that and take a large detour.
The AHA Moment
last week while going over some ideas and upcoming changes to the PASS Program Committee with my PASS boss, Jeremiah Peschka I had what I think is a great idea, and Id like to throw it out here and see If I cant help get it off the ground.
Speaker Development
It seems like a lot of the suggestions I've been getting lately with regards to the program haven't really been relevant to the problem I was trying to solve. At first I thought I wasn't explaining myself properly or I was writing in the same manner my brain works (all over the place) . Then It donned on me, maybe I'm trying to solve the wrong problem. (I know this was definitely one of my greatest moments of clarity). In a lot of what we do in the program committee we're really not positioned to help speakers grow perse. But, speakers still need help, they still want to refine their craft, learn new tricks, etc. I know I for one would love to get started speaking but, while I can tell who is a good speaker, I certainly don't know how they got that way, surely they weren't born with it!!!
The BIG Idea
Why cant we make a new Virtual Chapter within PASS for speaker development. I think this would provide a great venue for speaker development, It would be great if we could get the best speakers within the SQL community to give a monthly livemeeting about the different aspects of developing speaking skills. The topics could range from how to prepare for a topic, how to craft a great abstract, how to create great audience interactivity, how to create great demo's/powerpoints etc etc. There are literally hundreds of topics that I could see being presented that would be of great use to developing speakers. If the idea takes off, I could foresee an exchange of sorts, where hopeful speakers are matched up with experts for mentoring. Think SQLMatch.com where you look for a mentor for your SQL related speaking! I think with my grand total of 0 sessions experience I wouldn't be an appropriate person to lead this VC but, I would certainly be willing to help another more qualified person with the details and help out anywhere needed.
How can I see this through
If only I had some contacts in the SQL speaker community who would be willing to present on these topics? Surely there are some talented SQL Speakers that would be willing to step up to the plate and offer to help out those of us just trying to start the process of learning to present. Getting willing speakers to talk about these topics should be the hard part, the scheduling/leading the VC should be pretty easy but its still additional work.
So…… Which SQL Community Speaker/Leader wants to help me, help the community, and make this happen? I'm totally open to any ideas, I'd just like to see this get started!
More PASS Speaker Thoughts
Mar 26th
Posted by Allen Kinsel in SQLPASS
I've been kicking around several ideas in the program committee and a couple of them have to do with what information PASS releases, specifically information about the speakers. The general question I've been trying to come up with ideas about, and the subject of this blog post is:
Should PASS Release Speaker Evaluation Scores to the public
As with all things, there are goods and bad's to releasing this data. And there are even more possible ways to release the data.
Personally, I'd like to release aggregate scores for every session at every summit. I'm not sure that is a practical option though. I'm hoping some people out in the community might tell me that I'm thinking this through too much and no one cares, after all many of our speakers use speakerrate.com which is totally open.
The Good
Everyone who purchased the Summit DVD's would know when looking at their session lists which to focus on first
Every speaker would know exactly how they compared to others, I think this would be especially helpful to speakers who are just starting their craft.
New conference attendee's would know which speakers have better ratings and could plan their itineraries appropriately.
The Bad
Every speaker may not appreciate their scores being published (especially lower rated speakers)
Privacy: See above
The options
We could simply require that if you want to speak at the Summit, we will release the results. We could put some language in the terms that are agreed to by the speakers, actually I think we could do this without changing the current terms but, I do not think this is the right thing to do, it just doesn't pass the smell test for me.
We could include an opt-in on the speaker terms, which would allow disclosure. While this would be the easiest option to implement with the least amount of backlash, I don't think it really accomplishes much, mainly because without the complete picture of the scores you wouldn't know how the speakers ranked or if you were a speaker it would make it tough to know for sure where your session stood.
We could release the complete score list to every speaker, this would solve the speakers knowing where they rate in the crowd. Unfortunately It wouldn't help those in the community know which speakers were the best.
As with all things PASS I'm open to suggestions, and maybe I'm missing something, let me know
PASS First Time Speaker Statistics
Mar 16th
Posted by Allen Kinsel in Ramblings
Last time I wrote about limiting speakers to 1 session per summit, I appreciate the feedback, and thought id take another turn at this topic.
As I was reading the comments it reminded me that last year, I was asked by PASS marketing to pull a list of what we considered "new presenters". I thought I would revisit that list and give some of the statistics I discovered.
I want to start by saying I did this research almost 9 months ago, and I didnt reverify that this information was correct enough to post, it was pulled from their submitted bio's. So feel free to point out if something is wrong.
We had 85 unique community speakers in 2009. Of these 85 I was able to identify 17 people who were new to the summit within the prior year (08 and 09)
Gail Shaw 08
Grant Fritchey 08
Denise McInerney 08
Denny Cherry 09
Jacob Sebastian 09
Brent Ozar 08
Rod Colledge 09
Jamon Bowen 09
Jonathan Kehayias 09
Michelle Ufford 09
Ravindra Gurram 09
Jason Massie 09
Rob Garrison 09
Glenn Berry 09
Kendal Van Dyke 09
Kevin Guinn 09
Trevor Barkhouse 09
Every speaker on this list wasn't new to speaking, they were new to speaking at the PASS Summit. Which is exactly the kind of new speakers we're looking for.
At first glance Id be willing to say that PASS is already doing a pretty good job of involving new speakers. Using these numbers it looks like we already incorporated approximately 20% new speakers within a particular selection year. While ultimately I think that number could(should) inch up even higher, Im happy to know that we're not doing so badly at this that I want to go visit an Access conference just to raise my spirits.

Anisette Lunch
Had a disappointing lunch at Anisette today. After hearing some good things about it, I finally made it there for my first visit.
They did a nice job with the room; think Balthazar or Pastis, but not quite. I had the frisee lardons oeufs salad which was bad; it was extremely small, with an overcooked, almost hard boiled egg, and literally 6 tiny crumbles of overcooked bacon - what can only be described as a ripoff for $12 (total food cost < $1). I followed this with the steak tartare appetizer, which I did not enjoy, and I did not eat (I believe they did not charge for it, but I was not paying, ,so I am not sure). The tartare was very course, vinegary, and loaded with capers, and the meat was not tasty; YMMV, but I really did not like it at all. This was a meal of inauthentic copies of classic French brasserie food; frankly, the food is better at the pseudo-French place at The Grove. My dining partner had the chicken, which he said was fine, but not great. The waiter, and service in general, was excellent. It seems significantly overpriced, especially for lunch, considering what they are delivering.
re: lotta_cox
What debacle is that? I consistently have a great meal each time I go, which is weekly. And the place is always packed, totally packed. The only thing that doesn't thrill me is that they've changed the menu a bit - for all meals.
re: yogachik
I agree - I've never had a bad meal at Anisette, and I eat there a lot.
While I agree that not everything at Anisette is perfect, there's no way that anyone can assert that Monsieur Marcel is better.
If you order correctly, it is possible and even likely that you can have a very good meal at Anisette. The last several times I've been to Monsieur Marcel they've served me completely ammoniated and horrible condition cheese. I could go to Trader Joes and make a better cheese plate in two seconds.
Sorry, but I'm going to question your authenticity as I've had the tartare multiple times and the capers are always to the side. There's something suspect about your review or your dining experience.
From my dining experiences (and I've almost been in once a week ever since they've opened), the food has been admirable and completely "French Brasserie" -- nothing faux about it. I'm pleased that Santa Monica has more french places and at a cheaper price point (and open the full day, seeing as my work hours don't fit traditional schedules.)
re: brunello
You mean there was something fishki about the review? Considering Alain Giraud's "Provenance," the OP's calling his food an inauthentic copy is odd to say the least. The food at Anisette (mostly) favorably reminds me of brasseries I have eaten in while in France.
re: New Trial
The tartar was one of the worst versions I have ever had - it was swimming in sauce and the capers are not on the side. Pictures here:
I couldn't agree with you more. This place opened to great expectations, and unless they make big changes fast they will surely close. I don't even like the room which I feel is so large and cold that it in no way evokes a Parisian bistro. The seating is uncomfortable with the smallest tables I've ever seen. The service we had on our last visit was poor. All of the food we had was just barely ok. Nothing was exceptional and overall the experience was such that we would never return to this place.
Although Mimosa is clearly pretty mediocre, we would go there any day over returning to Anisette. For a wonderful French bistro experience (admittedly more expensive, but on a totally different level), head south to Marche Moderne at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. You will not be disappointed...and their $20 prix-fixe lunch is a bargain!
I'm with those who are pleased with Annisette - have dined there numerous times now, for lunch, dinner AND breakfast (which is a treat - empty and quiet on weekdays) and with the exception of one indifferent server have nothing but good feelings for the place. I'm a Francophile and this is, I think, as good as LA has got.
re: Mark Sarvas
I too am an unrepentant Francophile (have been to France at least a dozen times, and will return to Provence in the spring) and truly crave good bistro food in L.A. I just don't think Anisette is it. I've been a few times and as stated above am totally underwhelmed.
Aside from Anisette, and Mimosa which is quite tired, is there any such thing in L.A.? The best I have found is Marche Moderne in Costa Mesa.
On my visit to Anisette the food was great, but service was absolutely horrible. We were one of the first ones there when they opened for dinner, and it took well over an hour for the mains to come out while we were watching the same dishes we ordered being carried to customers who came in way after us. And after we did get the food, one of the dishes was almost completely cold. The waiter didn't seem to care much. 0 tip, won't come back. Pity, because i really do like their menu.
re: CarlieInLA
I would really reconsider. With all of the truly great places to eat in L.A., why go to a place that has had such mixed reviews? I know that some like Anisette, but many don't including myself. Regardless of whether or not you like the food (I don't), this is objectively one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences in L.A. due to the smallest tables I've ever seen in any restaurant worldwide?
re: josephnl
I don't know if I can reconsider at such a late hour. Its my husband's birthday and we wanted to get french food at a semi-casual location. What would you recommend? I was also thinking of Comme Ca but decided on Anissette. I heard the daubes, venison stew and fish/chorizo/clam dishes were good too. Is it so awful? I was thinking if we stuck to the dishes that people really liked we would have a good time...
re: CarlieInLA
If it isn't too much of a drive for you, I would strongly recommend Marche Moderne at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. It is really an excellent French restaurant, in the classic upscale bistro style. I myself am taking a friend out for a birthday dinner tommorow at Tradition by Pascal in Newport Beach, also an excellent French restaurant. These are both reasonably casual restaurants.
Unfortunately the better French restaurants in L.A. are pretty formal. My two favorites are Melisse and Ortolan. Both are many notches better than either Comme Ca or Anisette. If you want excellent French food, in comfortable surroundings, you will not be disappointed with these.
I know that some folks do like Anisette, but my experience there has been very poor. Our food and service were just ok, but the real unpleasantness in the restaurant is the lack of creature comforts. It is noisy and has the tiniest tables I have ever seen other than in a cocktail lounge. Comme Ca is somewhat more comfortable, but not in the same league as the four other restaurants listed above.
re: josephnl
Believe me I would love to go to Ortolan or Melisse but we weren't really looking for something in that price range. And we live in Encino, so CM is out. Thanks for the suggestions, I think we will stick to Anissette. I will report back. Hopefully its a good report!
re: CarlieInLA
Have a terrific time at Anisette. If you are with the man you love, how can you help but have a wonderful time. Enjoy Anisette...and do report back.
If you are ever in OC, do try Marche Moderne or Traditions by Pascal...or Melisse or Ortolan in L.A.
re: CarlieInLA
I love lunch there! The burger is amazing, and the chicken is a true brasserie experience.
re: CarlieInLA
I like the French onion soup, fish soup, mussels, and the lavender ice cream dessert.
re: CarlieInLA
I thought their foie gras was outstanding and my beef daube was great. Go and decide for yourself. Our service was very good. Hope you will report back if you go, no matter what your final decision on Anisette is.
re: CarlieInLA
I have been to Anisette three times now, and have always enjoyed it, even though the service is usually slow. Neither I nor any of my dining companions have ordered anything there we didn't like.
Standout dishes are the beef daube, steak frites, and french onion soup. For dessert, get their lavender ice cream dish and their black forest cake (I forget what they call these two dishes).
re: TeamCHB
I don't really mind slow service, I am comforted to hear that some people think the food is excellent!
I work a few blocks from Anisette and it's become my favorite for lunch. Love to sit at the bar, eat the perfect oysters and people watch. Nice wine list. I spent a week in Paris last September--the food at Anisette compares favorably to the real thing. That includes the steak tartare, the pate, the cornichons, the bread, chicken, frisee salad and even the burger. It ain't cheap, but it's worth it. Try comparing to Church and State Downtown: similar prices, tiny portions, ordinary bistro fare.
I'm French, and I love Anisette, and I'm glad I don't leave nearby or I would always be there and spend the money I don't have. The food is way better than Mimosa, or that place at the Grove (Morrels?), or Monsieur Marcel, all of which are alas closer to me than Anisette. I'm sorry if the OP had a tiny salad, but in my experience the portions are bigger at Anisette than back home. I concede they are not as big as at the Cheesecake Factory, and I praise the Lord for that, I'm not a big eater.
I'm also sorry if the OP had a bad experience. I don't like raw meat myself, so I wouldn't be able to say whether the tartare at Anisette is bad or good. Maybe the OP went on a day when it was off, as it can happen, but if he thinks the food is better at Morrels, I respectfully suggest he rethinks his expectations of what a French brasserie is.
All the food I ever had at Morrels was lukewarm and totally un-French. It's a pasta place, basically. Did the French invent pasta? Non, certainement pas. Morrels does look totally fake as well (and so does that Figaro cafe in Los Feliz), and the waiters rush you to gobble your food and clear the table for the next Grove shopper, and it's not cheap whatsoever. They do a horrible rendition of Robuchon chartreuse souffle. Their mussels taste horrible (previously frozen, that is), and their espresso is atrocious.
Now, back to Anisette, the way it looks: yes, it s a movie-style version of what a French brasserie would look like. But come on, people, we're in Los Angeles! When I'm in Paris, I wouldn't expect to walk in an "authentic" diner if someone decided to open an American restaurant (yes, we have McDonalds and even one TGIF, and a couple KFC, boo hoo), it would look fake no matter what. All ethnic restaurants that attempt to recreate a decor reminiscent of "back home" end up looking fake or cheesy. It's just part of the fun. I like the zinc (that's French for "Le bar") and the floor tiles and the aged mirrors, but it's all very Disneyfied for me.
The food: it's fairly standard French brasserie fare, which in my culture means comfort food, not 5 stars interstellar gourmet cuisine. It says "Brasserie", not "Here Enter The Kingdom Of Robuchon". It's simple, very good food, but not innovative. I would hate it if they would put some foamy touches to my moules frites, for example. As a French person I usually don't go to most French restaurants in LA because for the price I can afford, I usually can cook as well at home as, say, La Dijonaise or Mimosa (never been to Melisse or Ortolan). Or worse, Cafe Marly.
Not so with Anisette. The food is what I'd expect from a brasserie, but very well executed. In passing, I've seen lots of people complaining on this board about the fact that their duck confit was dry: it's pretty normal for duck confit to have some dryness in it. It's basically desiccated meat swimming in fat, the one at Anisette is pretty standard.
My favorite dish at Anisette are the sweetbreads. I'd go there for that alone. And for both the lavender ice cream and the Foret Noire. I've never tried the charcuterie or the cheese "towers" (un plateau, en francais dans le texte), it will be for another time.
I love their daily "market specials" (the lobster Thermidor they had was very retro, and cheap), but what I truly, truly enjoy are the breakfasts. The pastries are very good, and the espresso is one of the best I've had in LA. The only thing missing is Liberation or Le Monde to read while sipping my espresso.
I concede the service is either slow or sometimes clueless, which once turned into my advantage (I didn't get charged for 2 espressos and one OJ, and they undercharged my "basket of pastries". I don't get better service there because I'm French by the way, but I'm asked a bit more anxiously than elsewhere if I like the food. But I got much worse service at LA Mill than Anisette, though the people-watching is more fun at LA Mill (I could spend hours there counting the silly hipster mustaches).
Is Anisette a fabulously great restaurant whose food you will remember for years to come? No. Because it is not what Anisette is all about, basically a brasserie is a place where you can walk-in at off hours and ask for a steak-frites if you're having a 3 PM lunch, or a place where you can go sip your espresso at the bar while reading the newspaper in the morning. For my French self it fits the needs when I feel homesick, but I don't expect to walk in and get a transcendental experience. But the espresso is, I must reiterate, very, very good.
re: bad nono
I think bad nono's review sums up the things I like about Anisette. I live and work very close by, but I don' t find myself going very often. I don'tfeel really comfortable there, as I would even as a tourist in a french Brasserie. Many of the tables and seating are awkward and uncomfortable, mostly from being to small and tightly grouped. The service is often slow and awkward. this only adds to the uncomfortable feeling. the food is generally good but some dishes are poor. The kitchen also seems heavy handed with the salt on occasion. I would recommend going for brunch during the week and relax with a newspaper over breakfast when it is uncrowded.
re: Mateo R
Mateo R...you hit the nail on the head! Although the food is generally ok, the restaurant is terribly uncomfortable and the service is variable. It's an fine place to stop into for a coffee, breakfast or a quick snack or lunch, but certainly not the place I would want to go to for a relaxing dinner when I want to linger over good food, wine and conversation.

There is a weird little thing that Chile has the dubious honor of inventing that drives people crazy: the U.F. — Unidad de Fomento, or Development Unit. It's an adjustable measurement based on the Consumer Price Index. In other words, it keeps track of the inflation rate on a daily basis.
That wouldn't be so bad if it were only a useful tool for analysts, economists, the finance ministry, the central bank or all those research and planning units, departments and institutions. But that is not the case. We are all governed by the U.F. — enslaved, that is.
The U.F. was created in 1967 as a way to measure inflation every trimester and it was applied to long-term investments. These would be adjusted each trimester according to the U.F. The U.F. began with a value of 100 and it would adjust to the inflation rate of the previous trimester.
But in 1975, the economic mentors of Chile's military rulers — called the "Chicago boys" because they had all studied at the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman — came up with the brilliant idea of extending the U.F. to the entire economy and adjusting it on a monthly basis. Two years later, when the inflation rate was over 80 percent, these same avant garde free-marketers decided to readjust the U.F. on a daily basis.
This was great for people with savings in the banks. But a slap in the face for the rest of the population. Banks love to offer loans in U.F. Stores sell products in U.F. The rent is in line with the U.F. So, for example, if your rent is in U.F. and the contract requires readjusting the rent amount on a monthly basis, if you were paying $100 in January, and inflation was 10 percent during that month, your landlord could raise your rent to $110 in February, and so on throughout the year.
It is not a currency or anything tangible, except for the headache. Because, naturally, salaries are not readjusted in U.F. on a daily basis, if at all.
So what does all this mean? That Chileans, who tend to buy everything on credit, never know how much they're going to have to dish out the next day, next week, month or year. It means that if you bought a refrigerator in "comfortable quotas in U.F.," what you pay for the first month's quota may be radically different than two, three, four, six quotas later, and you just never really know how much that will be because it depends exclusively on the ability of the current economic mentors to keep inflation down.
There was a quaint populist presidential candidate (and owner of banks and supermarkets) in 1989 who boasted of having amassed his fortune starting out with just four chicks. Those four chicks grew and had other chicks, which in turn had other chicks, and so on, and after a while, he had a whole chicken farm. A tale of effort and perseverance. Of course, very few believed him. But one of his central campaign promises was to eliminate the U.F. in a day. With the snap of his fingers.
"Fra-Fra" — as he was popularly called — was never taken too seriously for many other reasons. But people would have given anything to smash the U.F., obliterate it, wipe it off the face of the earth. The scant votes he did get were probably due to this sole campaign promise, which has never been mentioned ever again by any candidate to anything.
The U.F. goes up and down. If inflation is low, as it is now, it goes down. Great for buyers, bad news for sellers. After many months, a colleague of mine finally got a buyer for a house she was selling. They agreed on the price a few months ago, and then came the ordeal of the actual sale, with the bank loan in between, of course in U.F. Come March 2009, ready to sign the sales contract, and lo and behold: the U.F. was down, the buyer had to pay less, and she was losing out on more than $1,500.
It could have been the other way around: Months ago, the buyer was thinking he was buying a house for a certain amount, but at the moment of actually signing the deal, the property was millions of pesos more expensive, thanks to a rising U.F.
Too complicated to understand, she turned to a lawyer and spent an entire day trying to sort through what the U.F. was doing to her pocket. Fortunately, the buyer didn't take the house and run, and agreed to pay her the original amount they had settled on for the property. Lucky for her.

The Results of Y&R's 'Brand Madness' May Surprise You
In honor of the NCAA March Madness tournament, Y&R created their own "Brand Madness" tournament using their proprietary BrandAsset Valuator database, and there are quite a few upsets.
In honor of the NCAA March Madness tournament, Y&R created their own "Brand Madness" tournament using their proprietary BrandAsset Valuator database, and there are quite a few upsets.
There are no words to describe just how awful SMOSH's "Meat Vs. Crust Rap Battle" is. The video is leading voting for Defy Media's new digital campaign for Hot Pockets (two words innocent enough on their own, that, when combined, provoke an unmistakable feeling of terrible nausea).
Defy Media's campaign for the lazy college student's standby, fresh off a recent product recall due to possibly tainted meat, is a March Madness style bracket battle called "Sandwich Showdown." The musical competition, which began March 18th and is timed to coincide with March Madness, pits #TeamMeat against #TeamCrust; with SMOSH and The Warp Zone facing off to win the chance to represent #TeamMeat, and Brittani Louise Taylor facing Taryn Southern to represent #TeamCrust. Voting for "Sandwich Showdown," which takes place at Hot Pockets' Facebook page, is still in its semifinal stage. So if you'd like to cast your vote such gems as "I'm in Crust with You" and "Love at First Bite" you only have eleven days to do so. To be fair, the other entrants aren't so bad as SMOSH. Brittani Louise Taylor's "I'm In Crust With You" is affably ridiculous in a much more watchable way, complete with life size Hot Pockets guy as her long-lost love. She gets my vote, or would if I cared enough to cast a vote at least.
"We're pumped to put our own musical spin on the Hot Pockets brand for the ultimate Sandwich Showdown," said SMOSH's Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox. "This is going to be a delicious lyrical competition like you've never seen and we can't wait to face-off and let our viewers decide which one of us reigns supreme." This statement marks the only recorded instance of "Hot Pockets"and "delicious" being used within two sentences. Stick around for "I'm In Crust With You" after the jump, and if you haven't seen it you owe it to yourself to check out Jim Gaffigan's Hot Pockets bit, which I can't help thinking of every time I hear anything to do with the culinary missiles of misery.

Havas Worldwide Chicago has launched a new March Madness campaign for DISH Network featuring a new kangaroo mascot, which also marks Havas' first campaign for the company since being named lead digital agency last summer.
The kangaroo mascot, voiced by Rebel Wilson, makes her debut in the TV spot "Mobile Basketball." In the 30-second spot, the kangaroo shows off the DISH Network's capabilities by watching college basketball at work, only pretending to be engaged in actual work when the boss walks by. While the spot never quite hits the humorous mark it's aiming for, it's still world's ahead of the campaign's painful digital spot, "Fight Song." As you might have guessed, the 30 second spot is built around a "fight song" for DISH Network (in the style of college team's fight songs) extolling the Network's ability to let you watch March Madness games anywhere. "Fight Song" will run on sites like ESPN.com, where it will most likely be muted after approximately 1.2 seconds. Havas's campaign also includes social media activations on Facebook and Twitter featuring the new mascot. Stick around for credits after the jump. Read more
Culver City, CA-based Pitch has just launched an NCAA March Madness campaign for tournament sponsor Burger King, the agency's first since taking over for Mother NY on BK general market duties in January (Pitch has been in charge of youth/family ad duties since 2010).
For the campaign, entitled "Watch Like A King," Burger King and Pitch have teamed up with iconic Fab Five member, former NBA star and current NBA TV/TNT analyst Chris Webber, who stars in the Final Four 2 for $5 "Watch Like A King" spot. The 30 second spot sees a fan tell the guy in front of him in a Chris Webber jersey, "Seriously dude, we're trying to watch the…" at which point Webber turns around and the man lets out a comical scream. Webber then asks him about his two sandwiches for five bucks from Burger King, and they work out a mutually beneficial agreement. The new spot, which unfortunately does not involve Webber attempting to call a timeout, will debut on March 16th. Webber will also be in attendance at the NCAA Men's Final Four in Dallas cheering on participants of the Burger King-sponsored Kings of the Court 3-on-3 Tournament.
Meanwhile, from today through April 7th, fans can follow @BurgerKing on Twitter and tweet why they deserve to "Watch Like A King" and/or post a NCAA-themed photo with the hashtag #WatchLikeAKing for a chance to win a prize, including "$100 Burger King Crown Cards, mobile phone projectors, flat screen TVs, tickets to the NCAA Final Four and much more."
"We know March Madness is about the fans, games and of course the student-athletes, so we're celebrating by partnering with the NCAA to provide the fan base with a viewing experience fit for a king," says Eric Hirschhorn, chief marketing officer, North America, Burger King Worldwide.
In addition to television and social media, Pitch's "Watch Like A King" campaign will also feature experiential elements, details of which have yet to be released (but according to the credits you can expect "Throne Installation" and "Crown Headbands," so that should give you some idea). Stick around for those credits after the jump. Read more

Egg and Muffin Toaster: just like ... errrr
By Mike Hanlon
September 5, 2005
September 6, 2005 One wonders just how much influence the MacDonalds franchise chain has had on the human grazing habits of the planet during the last few decades. We'd hazard a guess at A LOT. Anyone who has ever spent time with children will realize how effective MacDonalds has been at accessing the collective pin-number of the next generation and it's been an institution long enough to have fond memories for the last generation and even the one before that. Which is why, we hypothesise, gadgets such as new Egg & Muffin Toaster exist.
Comfort food is relative, and for a large proportion of the community that was raised on modern fast foods, this little baby delivers the goods in under four minutes at home. On a purely functional level, it can simultaneously toast two slices of bread, (or English muffin, bagel, croissant, etc), cook an egg (poached or steam-scrambled), and warm a pre-cooked slice of ham or sausage ... or any combination of these three functions.
The toaster's intelligent "Egg/Toast" function directs the steam cooking and toasting to complete at the same time. The Egg & Muffin Toaster also features wide toasting slots, an auto shut-off for individual toasting and poaching options, an easy-to-clean control touchpad, light to dark toaster settings, and the ability to boil up to four eggs. It also includes cord storage and a removable crumb tray for easy cleanup. The product goes on sale to the public later this month at US$50.
Now if they could get one of these things to do the french fries just the way they serve 'em at MacDonalds ...Share

Since the start of the blog, I had been using "NextGen" photo gallery plug-in and it was great.
Until about a year ago, then they started updating it and every update made the plug-in less and less usable.
Now it simply doesn't work.
So, simple request for the WordPress crowd; what is a good replacement?
Thanks for your help in advance.

"Had Pulp Fiction been set in the heart of the Sussex countryside, I'm sure this would have been a very different story."
His faltering buffoon act and girlish hair flicks never fail to irritate, but I've always found it difficult not to respect Hugh Grant following his redemptive, self-aware speech at the 1994 movie BAFTAs.
Four Weddings And A Funeral had just pipped Quentin Tarantino's exhilarating Magnum Opus to the Best Picture prize, whilst Grant had edged out John Travolta for the Best Actor gong.
The foppish ingenue had every right to revel in pomposity. After years as a jobbing actor filling the cookie-cutter of 'perverse posh boy' (Lair Of The White Worm was a particular low point), this should have been Grant's self-aggrandising moment; his "look at me now" fanfare.
Yet his decision to instead nod to his red-faced domestic entitlement was not only endearingly modest - it was considered, reverential and downplayed. Put simply, it was heartwarmingly un-American.
The actor's spot-on, bashful assumption - that the UK movie industry's most prestigious confederacy forgivably favours homegrown works - obviously does not stretch too far into the world of video games, however. The omission of Ninja Theory's excellent Enslaved from this year's GAME BAFTA Video Games Awards shortlist is mighty odd - and not a little puzzling.
Here's a title made by a British studio based in that most British of locations, Cambridge. It's a release which smartly emulates much of modern video gaming's greatest mechanical achievements - encapsulating them in a vivid, artful environment of lush greens, searing reds and acrid yellows. Its story has literary ambitions with surprisingly successful results, whilst interplay between its lead characters hits an all-too-rare standard of believability.
I had it marked down as a dead cert for an Artistic Achievement nomination - but BAFTA's judging panel patently didn't agree. Games that did make the category's Final Six included Call Of Duty: Black Ops.
Treyarch's release is certainly a decent shooter, but it's one that sticks to a painfully trad palette of dust, dank and dirt; a depressing contrast to Ninja Theory's holiday brochure of vibrant hues. It's also very much not set in the heart of the Sussex Countryside.
On the subject of patriotism and awards ceremonies, it is of course time to staple the bunting to our thatched roofs, break out Marjorie's piccalilli and maypole dance our way to the threshing fair: the Brits have smashed the Oscars.
Colin Firth's showstopping turn as a bumbling, stuttering blue blood (poor old Hugh - that really is his forte) earned the cherished thesp his slice of the spoils on Sunday, whilst The King's Speech also snatched Best Picture and Original Screenplay trophies.
Meanwhile, Welshman Christian Bale and Brit director Tom Hooper both mopped up major accolades, as US peers desperately scrabbled to method act "magnanimous" in front of the Kodak Theatre's most invasive cameras.
Now, I'm no Carling-swilling jingoist. I consider Bulldogs ugly, snotty mutts who missed their date with Darwinism; I don't know the words to Swing Low Sweet Chariot, and I gave up on the England football team way before Ashley Cole decided to play Lock Stock during half-time oranges. One people, one world, and all that.

"In the past year or so I ordered a pair of the "Sea Melody Horn Drop Earrings", and I absolutely LOVE them!!! I am considering ordering a back-up pair in case I ever lose one of them. I cannot compliment enough the design or quality of this pair of earrings. I so enjoy wearing them. They are minimalist yet extremely stylish and unique. Thank you so much for creating this pair of earrings! I will always treasure them."

"My Nebulae robe arrived yesterday and I'm very please with it. It fit perfectly. Similar to a comment made by 'Lisa', I would love it even more if it had belt loops and pockets. Just a thought for the future! My only regret is that it is getting colder now where I live and so I won't get to enjoy it very long, but will have to wait till next spring when the weather warms up again. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent."

"For over seven months I've worn this piece nearly all the time; while awake and while asleep. It is crafted with excellence. It's small size (the Nandi necklace) makes it a perfect non-intrusive piece for those who want continual wear. I purchased it because I wanted a constant symbolic reminder of Shiva's grace and Nandi's devotion. This lovely work of art is serving me well. I plan to buy several more to gift to my ashram sisters once the mandir is built. Thank you so much. Arunima ki jay!"

The House of Mercy is a 25-bed homeless center that provides homeless families throughout southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois with short-term emergency shelter and access to housing, job placement and child care resources. Staff at the Center assist the homeless in assessing their needs, obtaining appropriate referrals and services, and designing an action plan aimed at achieving more stable housing.Why was the House of Mercy established?In the mid-1990's, Mercy Health System president/CEO, Javon R. Bea, noticed that many families seeking treatment at Mercy's emergency department listed their family car as their address. He knew Mercy could do more than tend to their health care needs. After researching the level of homelessness in the area and finding a desperate need for emergency shelter, he developed a vision, which resulted in the opening and naming of the House of Mercy Homeless Center in August 1996.

Promoting Independence, That's What I Do
September 11, 2013
Dwane Jolly's name suits him.
"People who know me say that I'm funny," Dwane said. "I like to make people laugh."
Humor is one of the many great qualities that Dwane brings to his job as the Assistant Supervisor of YAI's East 206th Street residence in the Bronx.
Dwane started his career at YAI 12 years ago, as a Direct Support Professional at YAI's Kingsbridge residence, also in the Bronx. A lifelong resident of the borough and fan of its home baseball team, the New York Yankees, Dwane graduated from Alfred E. Smith High School.
When Dwane's father became terminally ill, he told his son that he did not want to spend his remaining time in the hospital. Dwane wanted his father to be comfortable and to make the most of every moment that he had left, so for the next eight months he lived with and took care of him.
"I administered his medicine every day. I had a list of what to give him," Dwane recalled. "The doctor came once a week to monitor things."
During this time, a friend who worked in the developmental disabilities field noticed Dwane's caring devotion to his father, and told him that when he was ready, he would have a job waiting for him if he wanted it.
After his father passed away, Dwane took his friend up on the job offer. He worked for two years at his friend's agency, and learned more about the disabilities field.
"I started to do some research and there was lots of buzz about YAI," Dwane said. "I inquired about it and went through the interview process, and now here I am."
Reggie was one of the first individuals that Dwane worked with at the residence, and they bonded right away.
"He looked at me like an uncle figure," Dwane said. "He would always ask me for advice. He trusted me to give him the best advice and he would always follow it. When he was satisfied with the end result he'd always come back and thank me. It was rewarding because I felt that I was part of the problem-solving and solution."
Over the years their lives have changed. Both are now at the 206th Street residence – "He followed me here!" Dwane jokes – and their families have expanded.
Dwane is the proud father of a son and two daughters, one of whom has followed in his footsteps and works at YAI, in a day services program.
Last year, Reggie married another resident at 206th Street. When it was time to plan the big day, there was no doubt in his mind about who he wanted to be in the wedding, and Dwane was honored to oblige.
One thing that hasn't changed over time is the connection that Dwane and Reggie share.
"He still asks me for advice," Dwane said. Most recently, Reggie turned to him when he and his wife were exploring whether or not they felt ready to move out of the residence, into a YAI supportive apartment. "I encouraged him to speak with her about it and said that it was important that they make the decision together."
For now, Reggie and his wife have decided to stay at East 206th Street. Dwane, too, is happy where he is.
"I love what I do. It doesn't pay much, but it's very rewarding to see someone else prosper by learning different skills and things they're going to need to survive. I'm promoting independence. That's what I do."

Comodo Internet Security
Comodo Internet Security version 6.0 Premium on Windows XP
|Comodo Group
|Stable release
|7.0.317799.4142 (April 17, 2014[±][1][Note 1])
|Operating system
|Windows XP and later;[2] with antivirus-only versions for Mac OS X,[3] Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RHEL, Mint, CentOS, OpenSUSE[4]
|IA-32 and x64
|Antivirus, Personal firewall, Intrusion prevention system
Comodo Internet Security (CIS), developed by Comodo Group, is an Internet security suite for Microsoft Windows. It includes an antivirus program, a personal firewall, a sandbox and a host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS) called Defense+. Comodo Internet Security initially received mixed reviews; it was generally praised for its firewall and its value for price, but criticized for its poor antivirus detection. Over time, however, its antivirus component received better reviews.
Comodo Internet Security (CIS) is available in three editions: Complete, Pro and a core free edition. The core edition is free and contains all security features of Pro. The Pro edition adds technical support. The Complete edition complements the feature set with encryption of transmitted data over the Internet connections and online storage for backup.[7]
Version history[edit]
In CIS 5.0 cloud antivirus protection and spyware scanning capabilities were added. As it could not clean all the malware it found effectively, Comodo Cleaning Essentials was developed to supplement CIS.[8]
Host-based intrusion prevention system: Comodo's host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS), named Defense+, is designed to provide protection against unknown malware. It is designed to restrict the actions of unknown applications, and restrict access to important files, folders, settings and the Windows Registry. Defense+ by default refuses any unknown program to install or execute except when specifically allowed by the user or when the file appears on Comodo's whitelist. In CIS 4.0 a sandbox was added to Defense+ to isolate and run unknown applications.[9]
CIS v6, released February 2013, provided a major revision of the user interface and significant new features such as a fully sandboxed desktop environment. On March 6, 2014 Comodo announced completion of beta testing for CIS v7.
Release 7 became official in April 2014. This release includes a new virus monitoring tool called Virus Scope and Web Filtering features that provide control over user access to web content.
Comodo Endpoint Security Manager (CESM)[edit]
Comodo Endpoint Security is a server product for centrally managing the security settings and security components of network endpoint computers. CESM manages the distribution and updates of antivirus and firewall software.[10][11][12]
The antivirus and firewall software managed by CESM are versions of the same software used by the consumer versions Comodo Internet Security [13][14][15]
Key Features[edit]
- On-premise endpoint security software solution
- Works with Linux, PC and Mac computers
- Handles security policies for firewalls, antivirus and encryption from a centralized console
- Quarantines all types of malware
- Sends out alerts in response to security breaches
- Can scan networks and systems 24/7
- Comes with Wi-Fi security, power management and USB management tools
PC Magazine lead security analyst, Neil J. Rubenking, reviewed Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0 and Comodo Internet Security 3.5 on 3 November 2008, giving 4.5 out of 5 to the first and 2.5 to the second. He praised the suite's firewall capabilities but criticized its antimalware capabilities.[16][17] On 28 May 2009, Roboert Vamosi of PC World reviewed Comodo Internet Security 3.8 and gave it a score of 1 out of 5, criticizing it for its "disappointing malware detection" based on AV-TEST result and "limited feature set".[18]
Three years and three version later, Comodo Antivirus results became significantly better. On 30 January 2012, Rubenking reviewed Comodo Internet Security 2012 Pro (v5.0), giving it 4 stars out of 5. He praised its support service and antimalware features but was panned for its "effectively off by default" firewall, Defense+ popups, lack of parental control, antispam, antiphishing, and privacy protection features, and finally for the same old reason: "Low ratings from independent labs".[19]
In a 9 January 2013 review, Techworld awarded Comodo Internet Security Pro 2013 4 of 5 stars and concluded "Cloud-based scanning and behaviour analysis joins a suite of top-notch security tools, designed to keep your PC secure. Recommended."[20] Also on the same date, Mike Williams of BetaNews.com reviewed Comodo Internet Security Pro 2013 and concluded "The program remains too complex for total PC beginners, we suspect. The average user will appreciate its largely automatic operation, though, while experts enjoy the powerful tools and extreme configurability."[21]
On 7 February 2013, Comodo Internet Security Complete v6 earned the PC Magazine Editor's Choice award. Reviewing the software again, Neil J. Reubenking gave it a score 4.5 of 5 stars, commended its support service, VPN solution, DNS service and value for price but criticized its behavior blocker and its poor anti-phishing capabilities. Reubenking concluded "The biggest win for Comodo Internet Security Complete 2013 isn't in features, but in support. The GeekBuddy service fixes any problem, security or otherwise, using remote assistance. A Virus-Free Guarantee reimburses you for damage if malware gets past Comodo; you can also get reimbursed for expenses related to identity theft. Add a GeekBuddy-powered tuneup tool and an unusually powerful backup utility and you've got a winner."[22]
In October 2013, TopTenReviews.com reviewed the Comodo Internet Security 2014 Complete edition and gave it a score of 9.18 out of 10. Their review notes that the firewall component is their Gold Award winner for best firewall protection. However, they also comment on the lack of brand name recognition for Comodo's product.[23]
Independent test labs[edit]
AV-TEST a test lab based in Germany tested Comodo in three categories: protection, repair and usability. Products that surpass the industry standard (measured by the mean score of the participating products) are awarded a certificate. Comodo Internet Security participated in their tests since 2010 and for the first time in February 2013, Comodo Internet Security Premium 2013 obtained the AV-TEST certificate in the field of home products.[24] In this test, CIS obtained a score 3.5 out of 6.0 for protection, 3.5 for performance and 3.0 for usability on Windows 8.[25] In their March-April 2013 tests of 26 antivirus products, Comodo Internet Security Premium scored 6.0 for protection, 4.0 for performance and 2.5 for usability. The tests were conducted on Windows XP.[26] In their May-June 2013 tests of 26 antivirus products, Comodo Internet Security Premium scored 6 for protection, 5.5 for performance and 3.5 for usability. The tests were conducted on Windows 7.[27]
On 18 January 2013, Matousec, an independent tester of security software, analyzed 38 security products for their proactive defense capabilities and ranked Comodo Internet Security 2013 Premium (v6) number one. Comodo Internet Security 2013 was tested on Windows 7 SP1 with Internet Explorer 9 and passed 101 out of 110 tests (92%).[28][29] It was also ranked number 1 in 2012.[30]

You can kill the body but not the spirit.Robert Louis Stevenson
Great strength of body is the gift of nature; But to be able to advise whate'er Is most expedient for one's country's good, Is the peculiar work of sense and wisdom.Bias

Learn to relax. Your body is precious, as it houses your mind and spirit. Inner peace begins with a relaxed body.Norman Vincent Peale
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.Carl Sagan
In the contemplation of nudes, we congratulate ourselves upon the beauty of which human beings are capable. They reassure us about ourselves, about Being. We are a little lower than the angels, true, but notice that we can get along without that suspect radiance, equal parts paint and literature, on which the angels lean so heavily. The human body is, or can be, a sufficiency.Donald Barthelme
Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man - who has no gillsAmbrose Bierce
Disease is an experience of mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body. Divine Science takes away this physical sense of discord, just as it removes a sense of moral or mental in-harmony.Mary Baker Eddy
Christ has no body on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours.Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion for the world is to look out; yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good; and yours are the hands with which He is to bless us nowSaint Teresa of Avila
Idleness is the badge of the gentry, the bane of body and mind, the nurse of naughtiness, the stepmother of discipline, the chief author of all mischief, one of the seven deadly sins, the cushion upon which the devil chiefly reposes, and a great cause not only of melancholy, but of many other diseases; for the mind is naturally active, and, if it is not occupied about some honest business, it rushes into mischief or sinks into melancholy.Robert Burton
Exercise ferments the humors, casts them into their proper channels, throws off redundancies, and helps nature in those secret distributions, without which the body cannot subsist in its vigor, nor the soul act with cheerfulness.Joseph Addison
The universal medicine for the Soul is the Supreme Reason and Absolute Justice; for the mind, mathematical and practical Truth; for the body, the Quintessence, a combination of light and gold.Albert Pike
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.Douglas MacArthur
An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.General George S. Patton
To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love.Charles-Victor de Bonstettin

Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.Henry Miller
The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.Friedrich Nietzsche
Our body is a well-set clock, which keeps good time, but if it be too much or indiscreetly tampered with, the alarm runs out before the hour.Joseph Hall

My hand is placed on my release ring for me and out I go with the dog.""But how do you know when you are going to land?" he was asked. "I have a very keen sense of smell, and I can smell the trees and grass when I am 300 feet from the ground" he answered."But how do you know when to lift your legs for the final arrival on the ground?" he was again asked. He quickly answered: "Oh, the dog's leash goes slack."
Penguin TippingHot 1 year ago
A Mexican newspaper reports that bored Royal Air Force pilots stationed on the Falkland Islands have devised what the consider a marvelous new game.
Noting that the local penguins are fascinated by airplanes, the pilots search out a beach where the birds are gathered and fly slowly along it at the water edge. Perhaps ten thousand penguins turn their heads in unison watching the planes go by, and when the pilots turn around and fly back, the birds turn their heads in the opposite direction, like spectators at a slow-motion tennis match.
Then, the paper reports: "The pilots fly out to sea and directly to the penguin colony and overfly it. Heads go up, up, up, and ten thousand penguins fall over gently onto their backs."

moose, because the plane wouldn't be able to take off with more weight
than that." The hunters go off. A week later when the plane returns to
pick them up the two hunters are standing by the lake with two moose.
The pilot fumes, "I told you guys only one moose, you'll have to leave one
because we won't be able to take off with that much weight." "Oh, c'mon,"
beg the two hunters, "Last year the pilot let us take two moose on, you're
just a chicken."
Not wanting to be accused of being a coward, the pilot allows the two to
bring both moose on the craft. The plane starts across the lake,
straining to take off. The pilot tries and tries to no avail as
they run out of room and the plane crashes into the trees at the end of the
lake. A while later after coming more...
