Questions about DBA career
I am trying to get an Oracle DBA certification and I need your help. How would I be marketable with DBA cerification? How would I obtain the necessary skill set? What is the entry-level wage? What is the long-term outlook for this position? What is the advancement potential?
- How would I be marketable with DBA cerification?
- How would I obtain the necessary skill set?
- What is the entry-level wage?
- What is the long-term outlook for this position?
- What is the advancement potential?
- Having certification alone will probably not land you a job as a DBA. Companies are looking for experience as well.
- The hardest thing to do is to get a job as a DBA. Many DBAs come from an application developer background or a system administrator background. Leverage those skill sets from one of those jobs should you be employed along those lines. Add the skill sets from the other position you are not coming from.
- Entry-level wage varies quite largely from region to region. On Google, look up 'salary survey' and see what you might find for your region.
- Database administrators are not going away any time soon. So I feel the outlook is good. However, the position is rapidly changing. So today's DBA needs to change with it.
- Many DBAs either stay in the job because they love it, or they move on to management positions within their company.

Drone Attacks: the New Crucifixion
It was the case that early Christians had to learn to view the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth (what was essentially a politically sanctioned execution) with a new set of paradoxical-theological lenses—God's defeat of evil, sin, and the grave. Of course, the concrete historical fact that the empire had crucified an Enemy of the State on the hill of Golgotha was never quite out of sight once this soteriological truth was grasped; the two halves of the cross—the historical/theological—were merely kept in constant juxtaposition. However, the church is at a point where we need to re-grasp the political-historical side of Jesus' capital punishment (due to our modern emphasis in Jesus' death "for sins"); namely, that it was the imperial execution of One in whom the state viewed as a terrorist threat. Martin Hengel in his Crucifixion writes:
Josephus gives numerous instances from Judea that it was used excessively to 'pacify' rebellious provincials; the same thing may also happened in of the unruly provinces… According to Roman law, rebellious subjects were not 'enemies' (hostes), but common 'bandits' (latrones, or as Josephus tends to call the Jewish rebels after the capture of Jerusalem, lēstai). For them the characteristic death penalty was either crucifixion or being thrown to wild beasts.
Rome's latrones are the equivalent to our modern day "terrorists." Crucifixion was the way of dealing with its "rebellious" provincials who refused to go along with the imperial status quo; and as the Gospels well illustrate, often innocent people got hurt. You see, from Rome's perspective, Jesus the prophet was a potential menace to the Pax Romana—the Roman Peace; and innocent or no, it would be politically expedient to do away with him. And do you think the citizens of Rome let out a public outcry against this blatant act of injustice? Of course not!—they were, after all, spared from this provincial practice; no crucifixes could be seen on the Palatine Hill that's for sure.
The climactic clash between the great military-machine of Rome and the freedom craving Judea would reach its bloody crescendo in the great revolt of 66-70 C.E. And as is well known, when Rome had to pacify a rebellious province they acted with utter and total brutality, slaughtering all—men, women, elderly, and children—despite their innocence or lack of involvement with the latrones. The Jewish historian Josephus records:
The majority [of those who issued from the encircled city in search of food] were citizens of the poor class, who were deterred from deserting by fear for their families… When caught, they were… scourged and subjected to torture of every description, before being killed, and then crucified opposite the walls… five hundred or sometimes more being captured daily…
It is the stuff of empire to slaughter the innocent with the guilty, even if it's the Lord of Glory himself.
It is therefore not difficult to draw a historical congruence between Rome's logic of provincial crucifixion and the modern logic of America's drone strikes: slay the innocent with the guilty. No doubt if Jesus had lived in Pakistan today he and his disciples would have been the target of a drone strike, during the wedding at Cana no less. Of course, our method is less publically gruesome and perhaps quicker, but it is no less unjust and barbaric. Moreover, we should resist being unconcerned simply because American citizens aren't subject to such attacks, for the ancient Romans likewise displayed no such compassion for the slaying of our Lord under the iron boot of their own empire.
We, as the followers of the unjustly-crucified Terrorist, should, of all people, be vocally against this inhumane use of military might. After all, our King was also the victim of such imperial tactics and realpolitik, and he calls his disciples to sympathize with his fellow sufferers-under-empire. Remember, the cross is not only where sin was dealt with and where Satan was defeated, but also where empire revealed itself for what it truly is, dispenser of injustice; no matter how much Pilate continues to wash his hands of the matter.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.-Effective controls on expenses enabled HSNi to post a 137.8 percent gain in second-quarter net income, to $42.1 million.
Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses were down 4.2 percent in dollars and 191 basis points as a percentage of sales, to 27.2 percent. In addition, interest expense fell 56.9 percent in the quarter, which ended on Sept. 30.
Net sales edged up 2.6 percent to $789.9 million. HSNi's Cornerstone segment reported an 8 percent gain in sales, to $260.3 million, largely from sales growth from its home brands and from a 10 percent increase in digital sales. The HSN segment's sales were up 0.2 percent, with growth seen in home design and household products, and a favorable mix shift to categories with historically lower return rates.
Citing HSNi's "powerful and diverse portfolio of brands and products," Mindy Grossman, the company's CEO, said the third quarter brought "record customer levels and HSNi, an increase in digital penetration of 230 basis points—including strong growth in mobile, which now represents 12 percent of our business—and adjusted EPS (earnings per share) growth of 19 percent."

Congratulations! You have been selected for an interview!
By Saralyn Mitchell
Receiving a call for an interview means that your resume, cover letter and online brand were impressive; you've landed an interview with your company of choice. Interview preparation is a must and the key to your success. You must be your best to differentiate yourself from the other candidates. Here are my top interviewing and follow-up keys to success.
1. Do your homework and research the company before you meet. Read everything you can find about the company and the job — from public sources, the company web site, Facebook, LinkedIn, and anything they send you. Study the written job description and the requirements for candidates. Interviewers expect candidates to know this material.
2. Practice, Practice, Practice. Prepare clear answers to expected interview questions. Google "interview questions" and you will find many great lists of possible questions. Practice answering questions with a friend or in front of a mirror. Ask your friend to give you constructive criticism on your speaking style, mannerisms, and poise. Take advantage of mock interview opportunities with your college career services.
3. Be Yourself and Listen. Being yourself is important in the interview. You will be more relaxed and comfortable and it will come through in the answers to the interview questions. You shouldn't hide your personality or put on a very stiff and formal interview style. Obviously, your business self is probably a bit different from your social self. So "be yourself" really means "be your business self." Also, be a good listener during the interview. If you are not paying attention, you will not give a good answer.
4. Be prepared to ask questions. Thoughtful questions show the interviewer you're thinking deeply about the job. They show you're a serious candidate. Asking the right question during an interview is almost as important as giving good answers. Not asking good questions suggests a lack of interest. For example, you might ask about the challenges of the job. What are the main projects on which you'll be working? What are the main goals of the department? Write them down in your portfolio before the interview. It is appropriate to refer to them during the interview when there is an opportunity to ask questions.
5. Interview Follow-up. Your follow-up should start at the interview itself. Make sure you get the interviewer's business card before you leave, as well as the names and contact information for other people you've met. Before you leave, ask the interviewer how the hiring process will proceed. When are they likely to make a decision? Is there any more information they will need from you?
Send the interviewer a thank-you note saying that you appreciate the person taking the time to talk to you, emphasizing your continuing enthusiasm for the job and the value you can bring to the organization. A personal, handwritten note is best; or in today's world you can send a timely e-mail. Be sure to send within 24 hours of the interview.
Call and inquire if you don't hear back after the interview. Your call shows that you are interested and raises your name again.

Movies 7
175 North Seven Oaks Drive,
No one has favorited this theater yet
This theater, which is part of the Windsor Square Shopping Center, has been Knoxville's very popular "Dollar Movie" second-run house since it opened in either 1989 or 1990.
As neither parent company have been willing to renovate this cash cow, it is still decorated in its original day-glo orange, purple, black and green color scheme – with neon accents, of course! Incredibly tacky, and now rather shabby (they really could use new screens), but the eye-melting decor is starting to take on a "vintage" appeal out of sheer persistence!

There are pictures of it on its page at CinemaTour: http://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/3534.html I am not surprised to read there that it was previously a Cinemark house as it is very similar to a theater that company built in Willoughby Hills, OH.
Open June 2, 1989
June 2, 1989-1995 Cinemark
1998- Carmike Cinemas

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Elizabeth D., N.Y.C.
Welcome to my broken nose! [Her sister accidentally broke it while lifting a garage door when they were younger.] ?I was rejected in school because I didn't look like the big-breasted, beautiful girls. I was awkward and sad. My mother always said, "Be original!" but I didn't understand until I changed to be like everyone else. Once I fit in, I was like, What have I done? I realized that my friends before were much cooler, with a great sense of humor and a way of looking at the world that was more fun. But if I hadn't gone through that, I wouldn't have been driven to make my oddities cool. It's what made me have a sense of humor and thick skin. It's like in All About SteveI'm making fun of everything people have judged me for and put it into one character.
All About Steve, Bullock's new movie, opens March 6th.Read MoreLess


text: It's all about the finishing touches. The standout street-style stars from this New York Fashion Week combined their imaginative ensembles with some of the brightest, boldest shoes, handbags, and jewelry we've seen in seasons. From shoes with colorful Lucite heels to handbags shaped like the moon, here are the most creative accessories we saw during this very well-dressed week.

Step 1: Parts/System Break Down
Arduino Mega
Arduino Mega Protoshield, with 2 mini breadboards and jumpers
3 VEX motors
BlueSmirf Bluetooth Adapter (located in the yellow VEX case with antenna)
RoboRealm Vision Software
VEX linear sliders
VEX Rack and Pinion gears
VEX 9.6V Battery
4 VEX small wheels
Vex metal, screws, etc.
This project is made up of two main sections. The first section is the actual robot. The robot in theory is somewhat simple. It consists of a base with two wheels which rides on a whiteboard track. The base design allows the robot to cover the entire x-axis of the whiteboard. To move on the y-axis, the robot uses linear sliders to move an arm up and down. Attached to the end of the arm is a dry-eraser that does the actual erasing.
Building the robot is not hard. It just consists of 2 motors which each respectively drive 2 small VEX wheels.
I would like to build it
cool project! You could even improve if you would save the "scanned" text into a picture and transfer it by bluetooth.

Darn, it's about the sixth day in a row without any sunshine. We Floridian's aren't used to this! I sure could use a sun fix!
We're having leftover tuna casserole with bread and butter. Peasant meal--that makes us happy. What are you having for dinner tonight? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Baked fresh ham, green beans and some starch, yet to be determined. |
I used to make a tuna loaf that everyone loved. I'd take leftovers for my lunch at school, and ate it cold. Beautiful day here, upper 50's. Great football weather: Bama won 49-0 Mama Goldbergs for my usual: bologna on rye with lettuce tomatoes, mayo and mustard with sour cream and onion p chips. Delicious! Tomorrow: Chef Glenda's back in the kitchen :o) |
I know what it's like to go days without sunshine... I live in Ohio. No fun. We got next to no sun in my area for 12 days after Sandy visited. Meatloaf, baked potato (including the skins) and a small amount of Texas beans was it for me tonight. Shirley |

Today I went to our local Little Theater with six lady friends to see The Odd Couple. They did a pretty good job. We stopped for an early dinner afterwards. It was a very enjoyable day. DH is having a meatloaf sandwich and butternut squash soup. |

Chili and crackers. It was a beautiful day although a little chill at times. We were forced to get out to the grocery store and pharmacy. It was very difficult I was so weak, but I made it and the fridge is stocked. I bought a beautiful big bowl of fresh berries, black berries, blue berries and raspberry, I think it will help me feel better. Blue berries are good for the tummy. We got a free turkey, so I guess I will be cooking Thanksgiving if I feel good. |
We had meatloaf, sweet potatoes and green beans. I think there is leftover blueberry pie for dessert but I won't be having any. |

Raven, you've been sick for a pretty long time now. Have you been to the doctor? I'm really concerned about you. Sure hope you're feeling better real soon. |
Sunny and warm here today. High of 10C. I made pasta puttanesca for dinner then we went to a neighbouring city to see the Santa Claus parade. They always have it on Sat. nite, and the floats are all lit. |
We went to Lowe's where I bought a Samsung French door fridge on sale. Also got a new dishwasher. Got them both with the 4 year warranty for less than the fridge cost before the sale price. Merry Christmas to us. LOL Not having them delivered until after Thanksgiving. Also went to the Commissary and ate dinner at a bbq place we hadn't been to before. It was really good and we will be going back. I had chopped brisket, Texas toast, coleslaw and potato salad. |

Nita I really like my new Samsung French door refrigerator and I have not had it a week. Our supper tonight was just chili soup, he had crackers with his and apple pie, two pieces. I just had the chili soup and a tuna salad sandwich. Sue |

Thanks for the concern. Yes my doctor has given me meds. The problem is I take several very strong immune suppressing drugs which makes it much more difficult for me to try to get over an illness. The auto immune conditions I have put me in a risky situation. This season has been dreadful. I just get over one and another hits. I have to think it will be better soon. |
I had a green salad made with arugala and home made pizza. I bought some super thin fire grilled crusts. It was quite good. |

Norwood, MA (02/26/2013) - Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications and a pioneer in digital isolator technology, today introduced isolated error amplifiers that provide power supply designers with a higher performing, single-chip alternative to isolation techniques based on optocouplers and shunt regulators. Designed for linear feedback power supplies using primary side controllers, the ADuM3190 and ADuM4190 isolated error amplifiers have a 400-kHz bandwidth, with 0.5% typical initial accuracy at 25°C and 1% total accuracy over the extended temperature range of –40˚C to +125˚C. This provides manufacturers of ac-to-dc and dc-to-dc power supplies, including those that are DOSA (Distributed-power Open Standards Alliance)-compliant, with a significant upgrade in speed and operating temperature range, as well as a 5× improvement in transient response.
Designed with ADI's iCoupler® digital isolation technology, the ADuM3190 and ADuM4190 eliminate the CTR (current-transfer ratio) of optocouplers that degrades over the lifetime of the devices and limits operation to 85˚C. The ADuM3190 and ADuM4190 include a highly accurate 1.225-V reference and a wideband operational amplifier that can be used to set up a variety of commonly used power supply loop compensation techniques.

I was hoping someone could tell me the best material to use?
Im planning on building an entertainment center, noting fancy 60"x24"x40" I would like it to resemble cherry. I thought i would make the carcass out of plywood faced with oak or birch.
thanks for your help jeff |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you want the look of cherry without using cherry, you basically have two choices---birch or poplar. Using oak will result in the oak being cherry colored(if stained with cherry stain), but still looking like oak. Poplar does not come in plywood(to my knowledge) while birch does. And birch can be stained with cherry stain and look close to natural cherry. The problem with what some folks consider cherry finish is they are referring to a very dark finish. Natural cherry is light colored and gradually darkens with age, but never gets as dark as what many manufactureres advertise as a cherrl finish. In fact, many times the wood in such furniture is actually birch. Have you tried a real lumberyard for the veneered ply? Of course ply veneered with real cherry will easily be more than $100 a sheet. So, if you use birch ply, be sure to use birch for the face frame---so the ply and face frame material take the stain more closely. |

thank you for your reply handyman. have u or anyone else looking at this posting finised birch to come close to the look of cherry and if so what process did you do (grain filler, stain, poly, shellac ect.) thanks again |
Birch needs no grain filling. The first thing I would try is staining a piece of scrap with cherry oil based stain---the easiest for you to get(HD or Lowe's). Sand with no more than 150 grit paper(on a random orbit sander---a power hand sander). Apply the stain with a lint free rag---that allows you to control the color better. If you like that result, apply a coat of water based polyurethane---that does not change the color. If that looks too bland, apply a coat of oil based poly(lightly sand the dried water based)---that tints the color an amber tone. If neither of those give you the color you want, then you have two choices---experiment by mixing stain colors until tyou get the desired color---or find a cabinet maker/experienced woodworker/finisher who can come up with what you want. |
If your area has a large enough population for a Lowe's and HD, there is going to be a better place for you to get wood. |

i will do some more searching to see what i can find in cherry in my area. price is also an issue, most if not all my friends would not know true cherry if they saw it, they will just look for that cherry color. i have good woodworking skills and have drawn my plans all out, its just i have never really made a piece of furniture before and i really would like it turn out nice (who wouldn't lol.) thanks again |
If you have heavy equipment, plywood should not be in your list. A neighbor tried this before to cut down on cost and you know what happened? His TV, sound system and other stuff atop it crashed on the floor in a week's time. Very bad move. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Remodeling Orlando
Stick to your plan. Plywood with a hardwood face frame is the way to go. Use dado joints to make the shelves housed into the sides. When you find your cherry ply it will be good quality... If you go with birch ply get American or European produced, stay away from the Chinese plywood. |
I have had good luck using dyes to make the color I wanted in birch. You have to seach around a lot in the poplar to avoid really green colored areas. A mixture of reddish brown and dark walnut dye got me what I wanted. (See handymac's description on cherry color). By the time you get the TransTint dyes ($35 for two), you may be able to go real cherry for the same cost. I would not try to stain real cherry if you are not experienced. Stain birch or go with the light reddish color of natural cherry and let it darken over time. |
Run the shelf sizes, spans, and loads through the sagulator. At the very least you are going to need from edging on hte shelf to reduce sag, and either edging or a dado in the back to provide support there. |
I'm in CT, the HD's around here have both birch and poplar plywood. While poplar lumber does have the greenish tones to it, I've not seen the green in the veneers used in the poplar plywood. But as others have mentioned, birch is pretty easy to work with. Dadoed carcass construction, with glue and screws, is very very strong. Add the face frame and your shelves will be quite stiff, too. I recommend not using oak. Oak will pretty much always look like oak, even when using a pore filler. All of my paint-grade cabinet construction is birch or poplar ply with poplar face frames. You'll get excellent results. I have access, so I use species ply and lumber for stain grade. Your success will be based upon your finishing skills. If you go with poplar face frames, just pick through the lumber rack to get non-green boards. When staining birch, it might be best to condition the wood prior to staining, and then work your way towards the color that you want. That chinese ply that aidan mentioned, it can be very splintery. In my opinion poplar takes stain better than birch. Stevega mentioned dyes. That can be a good approach too. |

thanks for all your help guys one last question. i found birch for the face frame and nice birch ply (not Chinese) but all the nice trim i wanted to put on this thing comes in oak or pine. havent seen any in birch. so question is does pine take stain in close to the same manner as birch ? i dont really want to make my own trim out of birch. the wife, really wants a dark cherry look, but real cherry wood is not an option (to expensive) thanks |
"the wife, really wants a dark cherry look, but real cherry wood is not an option (to expensive) " Have you looked at any hardwood dealers? While cherry can be expensive Steve Wall lumber sells 'UPS Packs' that are at max weight for UPS delivery in selects (First and second on the good face). The hardwoods at home depot are very overpriced. Hardwoods are normally sold by the board foot in random lengths and widths. |
You won't find pre-milled birch trim in box stores. Most box store offerings are poplar, pine, oak, or MDF. Or foam. And with stain-grade you know to stay away from finger-jointed. Pine would be fine. It can take stain differently depending on wood grain, but conditioning it prior to staining can help. And do be careful sanding the ply. Since it's stain grade you don't want to sand through your thin veneer and expose the inner plies. I'll certainly defer to others when it comes to staining advice. I do some, but it's certainly not an area of expertise for me. Mongo |

the lumber i found is not from one of the home stores, although good lumber is getting hard to find were i live in mich. no one wants to stock quality lumber here, housing market is so bad, there isnt much call for it, although they say they can order it. anyway im sure sure the pine trim will be fine as long as i practice finishing. with a few scraps. if there is anyone out there who knows of a good cabinet grade lumber supplier in s.e. mich. let me know thanks again |

Victor Cegles has accepted the position of athletic director at CSULB, F. King Alexander, university president, announced on April 12. Cegles is the senior associate athletic director, external affairs, at Temple University. He will begin his new duties in June.
"Victor Cegles came to this process very highly regarded throughout the athletic community across the country, and when he visited here, he very quickly impressed the coaches, athletes and other members of our campus community who met with him," said Alexander. "After numerous discussions with some of the most respected people in intercollegiate athletics today, there seems to be widespread consensus in his ability, integrity and knowledge of university athletics. Additionally, I think people will really like working with him."
"Long Beach State provides a terrific opportunity for young men and women to pursue academic and athletic excellence. I look forward to working with the committed coaches, faculty, staff and the community in advancing the 49er teams," Cegles said of his appointment.
Since 2003, Cegles has been at Temple University, where he reorganized the athletics department's fund-raising endeavors, coordinated efforts between the department and the university's development office and directed corporate sponsorship. Previously, he was vice president of business development for Gaylord Sports Management in Scottsdale, Ariz., after serving 16 years at Arizona State University in athletic development and external affairs, ultimately serving as the lead senior associate athletic director, external affairs, for two years.
While at Arizona State he led the athletics department's $25 million capital campaign to enhance facilities and endowments, and, among other responsibilities, supervised baseball, men's and women's golf, and women's gymnastics. He also was the assistant athletic director, development, at Rutgers for five years.
Cegles served as assistant varsity basketball coach at Carnegie Mellon University and as assistant varsity basketball and baseball coach at West Virginia Wesleyan College and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He holds a B.S. degree in business administration from Bucknell and a master's in counseling and student personnel services from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Kevin White, former athletics director at Arizona State who worked with Cegles for four years said, "Without question, Vic Cegles is a great hire at Long Beach State. Vic is a career athletics administrator who will bring a track record of strong and determined leadership, unqualified integrity and inordinate passion to the 49ers." White, currently director of athletics at the University of Notre Dame, added, "In my humble view, Vic Cegles will have an immediate impact on each and every aspect of athletics, from the student-athlete experience, to development, and everything in between."
Cegles will replace former CSULB athletic director Bill Shumard, who resigned last summer to take the position of president and chief executive officer of the Special Olympics of Southern California.

Beltsville Fraudster Pleads Guilty in Second Credit Card Fraud Scheme
Currently Serving More Than Five Years in Prison on Prior Fraud Scheme
Greenbelt, Maryland - Rhoan McCalla, age 27, of Beltsville, Maryland, pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to commit credit card fraud.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Postal Inspector in Charge Daniel S. Cortez of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service - Washington Division.
According to McCalla's plea agreement, From at least January 2009 to about April 3, 2009, Rhoan McCalla and his co-conspirators created an e-mail account and loaded personal identifying information of numerous potential victims into that account. McCalla or another coconspirator then accessed that account and utilized the information to obtain unauthorized credit cards issued by DiscoverCard, which were used to purchase goods and obtain cash advances at stores located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. During the course of the conspiracy, McCalla and others used personal identifying information of 10 victims to obtain Discover credit cards. The total loss amount associated with this scheme was $69,583.54.
McCalla faces a maximum sentence of 7 ½ years in prison. U.S. District Judge Roger W. Titus has scheduled sentencing for March 25, 2010 at 9:00 a.m.
On April 17, 2009, Judge Titus sentenced McCalla to 63 months in prison in connection with a separate but similar scheme in which McCalla and several co-defendants bought the identifying information of victims during July 2006, and from at least December 2006 through at least December 2007, used that information to fraudulently obtain credit cards, using the fraudulently obtained and unauthorized credit cards to purchase gift cards and other items. The victims lost a total of $582,165 in that scheme.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorney Bryan E. Foreman, who is prosecuting the case.

NEW DELHI/HYDERABAD: With the Union Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure approving the Multi-Modal Transport System (MMTS) Phase-II on Thursday, the much-delayed project has inched closer to execution. Once completed, it will improve connectivity to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad.
The MMTS Phase-II project was conceptualised at an estimated cost of Rs 632.68 crore, two-thirds of which will be borne by the state government and remaining by the Indian Railways. The project is slated for completion during three years of the current Five-Year Plan (2012-17).
The Phase-II project has been divided into two stages. In stage 1, estimated at Rs 317 crore, the Falaknuma-international airport (costs about Rs 85 crore), Tellapur-Patancheru (Rs 32 crore), Secunderabad-Bolarum (Rs 30 crore) and Sanathnagar-Moula Ali (Rs 170 crore) sections would be taken up.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Patches!
Facts about Patches
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Patches's Info...
I am up to date with shots and good with cats.
My name is Patches. I'm a calico with great markings that really look like patches. My brother Benny and I have been together since we were babies so if possible we would love to be rescued together. We really enjoy life. Our favorite things are playing, meals and treats.
I have age appropriate shots and negative for FIV and FELV. As my brother Benny mentioned, we would love to be rescued together if possible. We'll be waiting. I was born in March of 2013. If not spayed when I am adopted I come with a spay certificate for a local vet.
Please note: All cats and kittens require an on-line adoption application be completed and sent BEFORE consideration for adoption can take place. On-line applications at www.billericacatcarecoalition.org
Other Pets at Billerica Cat Care Coalition
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Patches, a N. Billerica Calico kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in N. Billerica, or seeking a Calico kitten from a breeder in N. Billerica.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in N. Billerica already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a N. Billerica breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in N. Billerica paves the way for another one to be saved.

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I spotted a NEW (insert make/model) today!
boomchek Vancouver, BC, CanadaPosts: 5,114Ugh I'm a style type person so a car's looks are somewhat important. I just think the new Matrix is ugly with squared off and round lines erverywhere, no real theme or specific style to it. And the Prius C is even uglier in my opinion. Just an oddball car. I know for most people it's a reliable appliance but I just think they're gross. :lemon:
2007 BMW 328i Sports Pkg, 1993 Honda Accord EXR (my 33rd car).
tifighter WAPosts: 1,398Expanding on the Crosstour a little further, I've read lots of comments about how the TSX wagon is a much smarter buy than the Crosstour. I'm not so sure. Bear in mind that the TSX Tech and the Crosstour EXL 4wd are within about $1k of each other and both have Navi:
TSX pros-
More overall cargo volume
Slightly better over all mileage (22/30)
Better warranty
Likely sportier handling (haven't driven one)
Real roof rails (hey, I'm a skier)
TSX cons-
4cyl/5AT combo only - 200hp
Rear shock tower housing eats up a lot of cargo space
Fwd only
Crosstour pros-
V6 is meatier and comes with the new 6AT- 278hp and actual torque
New 13 Accord tech like hondalink & apps, blind spot camera, forward collision and lane departure warning integrated in crosstour / not avail on TSX
More rear legroom
Crosstour cons-
Less MPG (19/28 for V6 AWD)
Less warranty
Less total cargo volume
NO roof rails
To me, a loss of 2mpg would be worth the extra power, torque and awd. And actually, I think the power/MPG ratio is pretty respectable on the xtour. The overall cargo volume is less obviously due to the sloping back, but given that the length and width of the cargo area are pretty similar, I don't know if most people would be losing a lot in the real world.
The other competitors here I suppose are the Outback and Venza: Outback is more practical, better awd system, similar price in LTD H6 form, but has a cheaper interior quality, less power and mpg, and less interior tech. The Venza has the power and space, but also has a cheaper interior quality, less MPG and forces you into those stupid 19 and 20" wheels.
Anyhow, I guess I'm saying I'm not seeing the worldwide Crosstour hate. Your mileage may vary...15 Leaf / 08 RDX

ateixeira Posts: 72,587I think Honda missed the boat in the last 10 years of not offering a Civic sized hatchback (Insight and Fit doesn't count)
I'd test drive one if they had it.
Fit's gas tank is puny, otherwise I'd at least consider it. 10.6 gallons vs the Mazda3's 14.5 gallon tank. The Mazda will go a lot farther per tankful. -

hoosiergrandad Posts: 96Those shock towers are a problem IF you need the space.If you do , you won't get a Crosstour. They don't bother me ( I have 3 trucks if I need to haul much)
but wouldn't do for some. I think of my CT as a large 4WD hatchback sedan.........a fairly unique design that suits me, but apparently not too many others. -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Well, I won't let them choose what car I get, but I do take the family along to see how they like it.
Did I tell you, they liked the Prius V (back seat roomy, reclines, awesome panoramic moonroof) and the Jeep Wrangler TWO door (cool factor). I can't think of two cars that are more opposite.
Plus both are too big and not really city cars, not at all what I'm looking for. -
tifighter WAPosts: 1,398CT200h...these too spendy for your search? I like the look of them; see them around here, but not as much as the A3.
Sidenote: Audi says they are killing the A3 hatch for slow sales in the US. If true, the ones they do sell must be mostly to the bay area...I see them everywhere. There are 4 on my street alone.15 Leaf / 08 RDX

boomchek Vancouver, BC, CanadaPosts: 5,114I saw one on the road about a month ago. Agree with you it's an odd duck to be FWD in such a large car. The Deville/DTS it replaced, which was also fwd had better proportions.
Just look at Acura and their dismal sales of the RL, partially because it's a bland FWD based V6 "premium luxury sedan"2007 BMW 328i Sports Pkg, 1993 Honda Accord EXR (my 33rd car).
fintail Posts: 34,519And MB dropped it. I think they still have a dark blue (no thanks, hard to maintain), and a silver that kind of has a blue tint to it. But that quartz blue was cool, like a modern version of my fintail.
There is a color called "universe blue" offered on the upcoming CLA that might have potential.
On the car front, saw a new Accord today, in traffic behind a 96-97 Accord. Reminiscent of a new Accord with a Crosstour behind it, my how they have grown.
Also had a current style A4 in front of me in traffic today, it was smoking like an 80s MB diesel (not a plume, but definite emissions off the line). I wonder what was wrong. -

They also had LeMans Blue, Topaz Blue, Estoril Blue, Laguna Seca Blue, Montego Blue Avus Blue, Fjord Blue and many more.

robr2 BostonPosts: 8,093Why not today?
According to one article I found:
White, black and silver are "tech" colors - those colors are sleek and modern.
Boredom - since people keep their cars longers, that flashy teal might be nice today but not so much in 7 years.
Resale - who's going to want to buy that orange car you had to have 6 years ago?
Vibrant colors do better in Asia while the basics listed above are popular in North America and Europe even more.

MONTPELIER — After separating in 2009, Gov. Peter Shumlin and his wife, Deborah Holway, have finalized their divorce.
Shumlin, 57, first shared news of the divorce publicly in an interview Monday with the online news outlet BuzzFeed. Shumlin spoke to the outlet at its New York City office while he was in town on work as chairman of the Democratic Governors Association.
Administration spokeswoman Susan Allen on Wednesday confirmed the divorce was finalized in March in Windham County Family Court. The couple, who had formerly shared a home in Putney, have two college-age daughters.
"Even though divorce is a sad occasion, Deb and I will be forever blessed by many extraordinary years together and two remarkable daughters," Shumlin and Holway said in a joint written statement. "No parents could ask for a greater gift than Olivia and Becca, and Deb and I are grateful that we remain friends and will continue to share our strong family. We make this statement in light of my public office, but Deb and I will have no further comment on this private issue."MORE IN This Just InTwo people were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 91, one of several accidents on...

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005
In these cold days, I take comfort in anything that can make me feel a little warmer. Even when it's just playing tricks on my mind.
Yesterday my sister and I did some last-minute Christmas shopping. I haven't been to a Bath and Body Works in about a hundred years, because it is The Bad Place. The place that makes me want to spend lots of money on products that I'll crowd onto the linen closet shelves with all the other products I don't use.
As usual, I bought lots of things. I can't help it. I like things that smell like food but have no calories.
The best thing I got was the Wallflowers "continuous home fragrance" plug-in. Now, even when the house is cold as a witch's you-know-what, the smell of Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin in the air lets me pretend it's toasty warm inside … and that something delicious is cooking instead of nothing.
I also got some Warm Vanilla Sugar perfume and some Pink Buttercream Frosting hand lotion. And my wristwatch smells like peppermint because it's been riding next to the gum in my purse. Yep, I'm just drowning in the holiday spirit. And I feel strangely hungry. Wonder why that is?
Edited to add:
When I talked to D on the phone this afternoon, he said the house was "cold as a well digger's ass." Guess the pumpkin-scented air didn't make him feel as warm as it did for me.

Grilled Garlic Bread
Grilled Garlic Bread
I know! I couldn't believe it myself when I ran across this recipe from Emeril. Grilled garlic bread, what could possible be better. Now at first I was thinking how are you going to grill bread, then it dawned on me, in aluminum foil, and sure enough the recipe did not let me down.
This simple recipe starts by creaming some butter with parsely, garlic, lemon juice, and Emeril's Creole seasoning. Be sure to let your unsalted (REAL) butter get to room temperature and use your mixer to cream the butter.
In the picture you will notice some salmon, Copper River Wild Sockeye to be exact. I am telling you, there is nothing like wild caught salmon – the juices from the fish make the BBQ go wild. At any rate, I kept the salmon very simple because I wanted to evaluate the garlic bread without an overpowering fish or sauce. So it was garlic salt, onion salt, and I squeezed a lemon over the top of the salmon – simply yet delicious.
So lets move on to the garlic bread.
1 stick unsalted butter – room temperature
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley (I used Italian parsley)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Emeril's Creole Seasoning
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 French bread.Directions
Preheat your grill to medium-high.
Cream the butter, parsley, garlic, Creole Seasoning, lemon juice, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally (lengthwise). Brush the cut side of each piece evenly with the garlic butter mixture. Put the two halves together and wrap tightly with aluminum foil.
Place the foiled bread on the grill and cook until the bread is crisp on the outside and warm in the middle, about 10 minutes. Turn occasionally.
Remove the bread from the grill and keep warm in the oven, in the foil, until ready to serve.
Slice the bread crosswise into serving pieces and serve.

Dr C H Mayo Rochester, My dear Doctor:- Yours, of the 16th ult. at hand, and of course, I am more than over surprised at the size of your fee, and while I can not agree with your reasoning, or concur in your ethics as to charges, yet I want to keep out of this trouble. You will therefore have to take such steps for its collection as you see fit. I showed your letter to Mr. Eccles, who was very indignant, and absolutely refuses to do anything. Of course, Mrs. Ellen Eccles is unable to pay any such charges. DC Budge MD Copy

A healthcare conscience bill is being endorsed by a large majority in Missouri's House of Representatives. Representatives voted 116-38 in favor of the legislation.
The measure would allow healthcare workers and religiously affiliated hospitals to refuse to participate in procedures that violate their ethical or religious beliefs.
It would apply to procedures such as those involving abortion-inducing drugs, artificial insemination, cloning, and embryonic stem cell research, among others.
Critics argued the bill would block access to health care for patients, especially women.
The bill is pending one more vote before moving to the state Senate.

Taking mentally ill off streets

Read the article and tell me what you think. This notion scares me. I know some people are unstable, but I don't know how you can punish someone who isn't hurting themselves or others....
That is scary to me. To a point people have a right not to follow treatment. Of course when it does infringe on others that negates their rights. Can you just blanketly take them off the streets?
Mind you I am not advocating not following treatment lolVivaLasViejas likes this. -
2Feb 20, '13 by mariebailey, MSN, RNIf someone has no history of being homicidal, & they do not acknowledge being homicidal, how can you force them to do anything? I can't even legally force my TB patients to swallow their meds, & they are undoubtedly a threat to those around them. Witch hunt...

2Feb 20, '13 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideAgain, with the scapegoating of the mentally ill.....this stuff is really getting old. Why doesn't the political class think about getting creative for once and actually trying to solve problems, instead of branding people with a scarlet "MI" and calling it good?tewdles and herring_RN like this.
2Feb 20, '13 by wish_me_luckI didn't understand how they can legally do that...I mean, people with mental illness still have rights--they can refuse treatment. Unless I missed it, they didn't threaten anyone or say they are suicidal...they are not doing anything to anyone. We are going backwards in this mental illness treatment.VivaLasViejas and herring_RN like this.
2Feb 20, '13 by Liddle Noodnik GuideQuote from Liddle NoodnikI'm not sure if I was clear, on rereading my response. I'm saying that they can't just take someone off the street because they are mentally ill. There has to be a pattern, a history, a verbalization, SOMEthing that makes it apparent that they are dangerous, not just a diagnosis or non-compliance.They only came up w/ 25?
That is scary to me. To a point people have a right not to follow treatment. Of course when it does infringe on others that negates their rights. Can you just blanketly take them off the streets?

3Feb 20, '13 by herring_RN GuideWe need more access to mental health care. If people are miserable and homeless think they should be helped whether they have a mentsl illness or not.
My cousin was very functional, but miserable until diagnosed and treated.
She has had a good life , helped people and has many friends. She doesn't pretend to feel different than she does with people who love her any more.
I wish she had been dioagnosed as a teen. She missed out on a lot by acting as she thought she should rather than doing what she wanted she pleased others.
plenty of people with out a diagnosis do that too. -
6Feb 20, '13 by wish_me_luckI have to be honest and frank--this is something that really is starting to scare and irritate me slightly...yes, there are some people who are mentally ill and are violent; however, a majority of mentally ill people are a threat to themselves rather than others and they also, are more likely to be victims of crimes than perpetrators. I think there is a huge misunderstanding in this country--people tend to use mental illness as a "cop out" after they commit a crime. They would not own up to that if they hadn't done anything. I don't think people should be allowed by law to be considered mentally ill if they didn't have a mental health history prior to the crime. I think what's scarier is the fact that we cannot admit that "sane" people commit atrocious crimes and can be dangerous.
It does scare me that people with mental illness will lose their rights completely and there will be "witch hunts" for them. I have mentioned this before and will mention it again, during the Holocaust, Hitler rounded up the mentally ill as well and exterminated them...he killed far many more people than Lanza, Cho, etc. did. All life is precious, but this theory that mentally ill people need to be locked up or be gotten rid of--are those people who hold that theory any better than people with mental illness? -
4Feb 20, '13 by mariebailey, MSN, RNLanza & Cho are going to make the news before a functional person with a mental illness who is law-abiding & making a contribution to society. They, unfortunately, skew everyone's view of what people who live with mental illness are like. I remember sitting in my psych nursing rotation and hearing all the stereotypes and negative comments my fellow nursing students would make about the patients. I thought it odd that it never occurred to them that they may be sitting next to someone with a mental illness; I was extremely disgruntled! Only seeing people acutely ill on the psych unit gave them tunnel vision, I think. The same phenomenon occurs on a larger scale as well.
4Feb 21, '13 by wish_me_luckI think we are losing the concept of mental illness, as well. It began as something that was defined as behavioral patterns out of the norm, that have a noticeable/significant/negative impact on daily living and persisted over 6 months. That's still the technical definition, but the DSM is beginning to add very minor things, such as caffeine addiction (which yes, you can get addicted to it; however, how does that have an impact on every day life? Again, there are some cases that I am sure it does impact daily living, but....not many) and when anyone does anything that society disapproves of--the person is automatically deemed mentally ill, after all, what "sane" person would do such a thing? We are getting to the point as a society that there's an increase in the percentage of people with mental illness and fewer "sane" people. It's great that we want to get people with the minor mental health issues treated, but I just think we will get to a point where 80% or more of the population has some mental illness trait or whatever. Then, those people become the norm and the "sane" people are the outliers. The norm is usually what most of the population does or acts like--when most people have some form of mental illness, how is it an illness?
I think we are truly losing the concept of what mental illness is and are arbitrarily throwing these terms out there and that only goes to worsen things for those who do suffer from true mental illness.
