A lot of people have asked me whether there's some sort of index or "table of contents" of my TPT scripts (there's over 500 scripts in the tpt_public.zip file – http://tech.e2sn.com/oracle-scripts-and-tools )
I have planned to create such index for years, but never got to it. I probably never will :) So a good way to extract the descriptions of some scripts is this (run the command in the directory where you extracted my scripts to):
tech.E2SN secret hacking session on Tuesday 22nd March:
Just in case you missed it – there's still chance to sign up to my tomorrow's ORA-4031 and shared pool hacking session. I initially planned to limit the attendees to 100 per event (as the limited GotoWebinar package is cheaper that way) but over 100 people had signed up for the US event on the day of announcement, even before it was 8am in California, so I figured I should invest a bit more and allow more people attend. So far over 500 people have signed up (total for both events). If you haven't done so, you can sign up here:

(The title's a pun, by the way – an English form of humour that is not considered good unless it's really bad.)
Very few people try to email me or call me with private problems – which is the way it should be, and I am grateful to my audience for realizing that this blog isn't trying to compete with AskTom – but I do get the occasional communication and sometimes it's an interesting oddity that's worth a little time.
Today's blog item is one such oddity – it was a surprise, it looked like a nasty change in behaviour, and it came complete with a description of environment, and a neatly formatted, complete, demonstration. For a discussion of the problem in Spanish you can visit the blog of John Ospino Rivas, who sent me the original email and has written his own blog post on the problem.
We start with a simple table, and then query it with a 'select for update' from two different sessions:
drop table tab1 purge; create table tab1( id number, info varchar2(10), constraint tab1_pk primary key (id) using index (create index idx_tab1_pk on tab1(id)) ); insert into tab1 values(1,'a'); insert into tab1 values(2,'a'); insert into tab1 values(3,'a'); commit; execute dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'tab1',cascade=>true) column id new_value m_id set autotrace on explain select id from tab1 where id = ( select min(id) from tab1 ) for update ; set autotrace off prompt ============================================================= prompt Now repeat the query in another session and watch it lock prompt And use a third session to check v$lock prompt Then delete here, commit and see what the second session does prompt ============================================================= accept X prompt 'Press return to delete and commit' set verify on delete from tab1 where id = &m_id; commit;
The fact that the primary key index is created as a non-unique index isn't a factor that affects this demonstration.
Given the query and the data in the table, you won't be surprised by the result of the query from the first session (for convenience I've captured the selected value using the 'column new_value' option). Here's the result of the query and its execution plan:
ID ---------- 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 3 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 | | 1 | FOR UPDATE | | | | | | |* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IDX_TAB1_PK | 1 | 3 | 0 (0)| 00:00:01 | | 3 | SORT AGGREGATE | | 1 | 3 | | | | 4 | INDEX FULL SCAN (MIN/MAX)| IDX_TAB1_PK | 3 | 9 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Predicate Information (identified by operation id): --------------------------------------------------- 2 - access("ID"= (SELECT MIN("ID") FROM "TAB1" "TAB1"))
At this point the program issues instructions to repeat the query from a second session, then waits for you to press Return. When you run the same query from another session it's going to see the data in read-consistent mode and try to select and lock the row where ID = 1, so the second session is going to hang waiting for the first session to commit or rollback.
Here's the key question: what's the second session going to return when you allow the first session to continue, delete the row it has selected, and commit ? Here's the answer if you're running 10.2.0.3 or 220.127.116.11 (which is what I happen to have easily available):
SQL> select id 2 from tab1 3 where id = ( 4 select min(id) 5 from tab1 6 ) 7 for update 8 ; ID ---------- 2 1 row selected.
Now, this seems perfectly reasonable to me – especially since I've read Tom Kyte's notes on "write consistency" and seen the "rollback and restart" mechanism that kicks in when updates have to deal with data that's changed since the start of the update. Session 2 had a (select for) update, and when it finally got to a point where it could lock the data it found that the read-consistent version of the data didn't match the current version of the data so it restarted the statement at a new SCN. At the new SCN the current highest value was 2.
Now here's what happened when I ran the test under 18.104.22.168:
SQL> select id 2 from tab1 3 where id = ( 4 select min(id) 5 from tab1 6 ) 7 for update 8 ; no rows selected
The upgrade produces a different answer !
At first sight (or guess) it looks as if the query has run in two parts – the first part producing the min(id) of 1 using a read-consistent query block, with the second part then using the resulting "known value" to execute the outer select (shades of "precompute_subquery") and restarting only the second part when it discovers that the row it has been waiting for has gone away.
It doesn't really matter whether you think the old behaviour or the new behaviour is correct – the problem is that the behaviour has changed in a way that could silently produce unexpected results. Be careful if any of your code uses select for update with subqueries.
As a defensive measure you might want to change the code to use the serializable isolation level – that way the upgraded code will crash with Oracle error ORA-08177 instead of silently giving different answers:
SQL> alter session set isolation_level = serializable; Session altered. SQL> get afiedt.buf 1 select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ 2 id 3 from tab1 4 where id = ( 5 select min(id) 6 from tab1 7 ) 8* for update 9 / from tab1 * ERROR at line 3: ORA-08177: can't serialize access for this transaction
It might be a way of avoiding this specific problem, of course, but it's not a frequently used feature (the first pages of hits on Google are mostly about SQL Server) so who knows what other anomalies this change in isolation level might introduce.
A few days ago I looked into a SQL Tracefile of some LOB access code and saw a LOBREAD entry there. This is a really welcome improvement (or should I say, bugfix of a lacking feature) for understanding resource consumption by LOB access OPI calls. Check the bottom of the output below:

In past versions of Oracle the CPU (c=) usage figures and other stats like number of physical/logical reads of the LOB chunk read OPI call were just lost – they were never reported in the tracefile. In past only the most common OPI calls, like PARSE, EXEC, BIND, FETCH (and recently CLOSE cursor) were instrumented with SQL Tracing. But since 11.2(.0.2?) the LOBREAD's are printed out too. This is good, as it reduces the amount of guesswork needed to figure out what are those WAITs for cursor #0 – which is really a pseudocursor.
Why cursor#0? It's because normally, with PARSE/EXEC/BIND/FETCH, you always had to specify a cursor slot number you operated on (if you fetch from cursor #5, it means that Oracle process went to slot #5 in the open cursor array in your session's UGA and followed the pointers to shared cursor's executable parts in library cache from there). But LOB interface works differently – if you select a LOB column using your query (cursor), then all your application gets is a LOB LOCATOR (sort of a pointer with LOB item ID and consistent read/version SCN). Then it's your application which must issue another OPI call (LOBREAD) to read the chunks of that LOB out from the database. And the LOB locator is independent from any cursors, it doesn't follow the same cursor API as regular SQL statements (as it requires way different functionality compared to a regular select or update statement).
So, whenever a wait happened in your session due to an access using a LOB locator, then there's no specific cursor responsible for it (as far as Oracle sees internally) and that's why a fake, pseudocursor #0 is used.
Note that on versions earlier than 11.2(.0.2?) when the LOBREAD wasn't printed out to trace – you can use OPI call tracing (OPI stands for Oracle Program Interface and is the server-side counterpart to OCI API in the client side) using event 10051. First enable SQL Trace and then the event 10051 (or the other way around if you like):
SQL> @oerr 10051 ORA-10051: trace OPI calls SQL> alter session set events '10051 trace name context forever, level 1'; Session altered.
Now run some LOB access code and check the tracefile:

Check the bold and especially the red string above. Tracing OPI calls gives you some extra details of what kind of tasks are executed in the session. The "LOB/FILE operations" call indicates that whatever lines come after it (unlike SQL trace call lines where all the activity happens before a call line is printed (with some exceptions of course)) are done for this OPI call (until a next OPI call is printed out). OPI call tracing should work even on ancient database versions…
By the way, if you are wondering, what's the cursor number 47112801352808 in the "WAIT #47112801352808″ above? Shouldn't the cursor numbers be small numbers?
Well, in 126.96.36.199 this was also changed. Before that, the X in CURSOR #X (and PARSE #X, BIND #X, EXEC #X, FETCH #X) represented the slot number in your open cursor array (controlled by open_cursors) in your session's UGA. Now, the tracefile dumps out the actual address of that cursor. 47112801352808 in HEX is 2AD94DC9FC68 and it happens to reside in the UGA of my session.
Naturally I asked Cary Millsap about whether he had spotted this LOBREAD already and yes, Cary's way ahead of me – he said that Method-R's mrskew tool v2.0, which will be out soon, will support it too.
It's hard to not end up talking about Cary's work when talking about performance profiling and especially Oracle SQL trace, so here are a few very useful bits which you should know about:
If you want to understand the SQL trace & profiling stuff more, then the absolute must document is Cary's paper on the subject – Mastering Performance with Extended SQL Trace:
Also, if you like to optimize your work like me (in other words: you're proactively lazy ;-) and you want to avoid some boring "where-the-heck-is-this-tracefile-now" and "scp-copy-it-over-to-my-pc-for-analysis" work then check out Cary's MrTrace plugin (costs ~50 bucks and has a 30-day trial) for SQL Developer. I've ended up using it myself regularly although I still tend to avoid GUIs:
This is part 2 of an article on the KEEP cache. If you haven't got here from part one you should read that first for an explanation of the STATE and CUR columns of the output.
Here's a little code to demonstrate some of the problems with setting a KEEP cache – I've set up a 16MB cache, which gives me 1,996 buffers of 8KB in 10.2.0.3, and then created a table that doesn't quite fill that cache. The table is 1,900 data blocks plus one block for the segment header (I've used freelist management to make the test as predictable as possible, and fixed the pctfree to get one row per block).
create table t1 pctfree 90 pctused 10 storage (buffer_pool keep) as with generator as ( select --+ materialize rownum id from dual connect by rownum <= 10000 ) select rownum id, lpad(rownum,10,'0') small_vc, rpad('x',1000) padding from generator v1, generator v2 where rownum <= 1900 ; alter system flush buffer_cache; -- scan the table to load it into memory select /*+ full(t1) */ count(small_vc) from t1 where id > 0 ; -- check the content of x$bh from another connection -- update every fifth row (380 in total) update t1 set small_vc = upper(small_vc) where mod(id,5) = 0 ; -- check the content of x$bh from another connection
The query I ran under the SYS account was this:
select bpd.bp_blksz, bpd.bp_name, wds.set_id, bh.state, cur, ct from ( select set_ds, state, bitand(flag, power(2,13)) cur, count(*) ct from x$bh group by set_ds, state, bitand(flag, power(2,13)) ) bh, x$kcbwds wds, x$kcbwbpd bpd where wds.addr = bh.set_ds and bpd.bp_lo_sid <= wds.set_id and bpd.bp_hi_sid >= wds.set_id and bpd.bp_size != 0 order by bpd.bp_blksz, bpd.bp_name, wds.set_id, bh.state, bh.cur ;
In my test case this produced two sets of figures, one for the DEFAULT cache, and one for the KEEP cache but I've only copied out the results from the KEEP cache, first after the initial tablescan, then after the update that affected 380 blocks:
BP_BLKSZ BP_NAME SET_ID STATE CUR CT ---------- ------- ---------- ----- ----- ---------- 8192 KEEP 1 0 0 95 1 0 1901 ******* ********** ---------- sum 1996 BP_BLKSZ BP_NAME SET_ID STATE CUR CT ---------- ------- ---------- ----- ----- ---------- 8192 KEEP 1 1 0 1462 1 8192 380 3 0 323 ******* ********** ---------- sum 1996
In the first output you see the 1901 buffers holding blocks from the table (1,900 data plus one segment header), with the remaining 95 buffers still "free" (state 0). The table blocks are all shown as XCUR (state 1, exclusive current)
In the second output you see 380 buffers holding blocks with state 'XCUR' with bit 13 of the flag column set, i.e. "gotten in current mode". These are the 380 blocks that have been updated – but there are also 323 blocks shown as CR (state 3, "only valid for consistent read"). A detailed check of the file# and dbablk for these buffers shows that they are clones of (most of) the 380 blocks in the XCUR buffers.
Do a bit of arithmetic – we have 1462 blocks left from the original tablescan, plus 380 blocks in CUR mode (of which there are 323 clones) for a total of 1,842 blocks – which means that 59 blocks from the table are no longer in the cache. As we clone blocks we can lose some of the blocks we want to KEEP.
Unfortunately for us, Oracle has not given any preferential treatment to buffers which hold blocks in the XCUR state – any buffer which reaches the end of LRU chain and hasn't been accessed since it was first loaded will be dumped so that the buffer can be used to create a clone (but see footnote). This means that a constant stream of inserts, updates, deletes, and queries could result in lots of clones being created in your KEEP cache, pushing out the data you want to keep.
If you want to size your KEEP cache to minimise this effect, you probably need to start by making it somewhat larger than the objects it is supposed to KEEP, and then checking to see how many clones you have in the cache – because that will give you an idea of how many extra buffers you need to stop the clones from pushing out the important data.
When I wrote and ran the test cases in this note the client was running Oracle 10.2 – while writing up my notes I happened to run the test on 22.214.171.124 (still using freelists rather than ASSM) and got the following output from my scan of the KEEP cache:
BP_BLKSZ BP_NAME SET_ID STATE CUR CT ---------- ------- ---------- ----- ----- ---------- 8192 KEEP 1 1 0 1901 3 0 91 ******* ********** ---------- sum 1992
Apart from the fact that you get slightly fewer buffers per granule in 11g (the x$bh structure has become slightly larger – and x$bh is a segmented array where each segment shares the granule with the buffers it points to) you can see that we only have 91 clones in the KEEP cache, and apparently we've managed to update our 380 blocks without changing their flag to "gotten in current mode". Doing an update is, of course, just one way of making clones appear – but perhaps 11g will generally have more success in keeping current versions of blocks in memory than earlier versions.
There is , unfortunately, a very special feature to this test case – it's using a single tablescan to update the table. So having said in part 1 that I was going to write a two-part article, I've got to this point, done a few more tests, and decided I need to write part three as well. Stay tuned.
Footnote: Technically there are a couple of circumstances where Oracle will bypass the buffer and walk along the LRU chain looking for another block – but I've excluded them from this demonstration.
Free stuff! Free stuff! Free stuff! :-)
The awesome dudes at E2SN have done it again! (and yes, Tom, this time the "we at E2SN Ltd" doesn't mean only me alone ;-)
On Tuesday 22nd March I'll hold two (yes two) Secret Oracle Hacking Sessions – about ORA-04031: unable to allocate x bytes of shared memory errors, cursor management issues and other shared pool related problems (like fragmentation). This event is free for all! You'll just need to be fast enough to register, both events have 100 attendee limit (due to my GotoWebinar accont limitations).
I am going to run this online event twice, so total 200 people can attend (don't register for both events, please). One event is in the morning (my time) to cater for APAC/EMEA region and the other session is for EMEA/US/Americas audience.
The content will be the same in both sessions. There will be no slides (you cant fix your shared pool problems with slides!) but there will be demos, scripts, live examples and fun (for the geeks among us anyway – others go and read some slides instead ;-)!
Hi all,
As my frequent readers know, I have promised to not travel anymore as it's just too much hassle compared to the benefit of being "there". This is why I'm going to fly to London on Monday, 18th April to speak at the UKOUG Exadata Special Event. This event is just too sexy to be missed, so I made an exception (the last one, I promise!)… and it's probably going to be warmer there as well compared to where I am now :-)
I will be talking about what's been my focus area for last year or so – Oracle Exadata Performance.
Dan Norris and Alex Gorbachev will be speaking there too, so it should end up being a pretty awesome event!
More details here:

In order to systematically troubleshoot and optimize Exadata performance, one must understand the meaning of its performance metrics.
This session provides a deep technical walkthrough of how Exadata IO and smart scans work and how to use relevant metrics for troubleshooting related performance issues. We will review both Exadata database and cell-level metrics, cell wait events and tools useful for troubleshooting. We will also look into metrics related to Exadata Hybrid Columnar Compression and the cell Flash Cache usage.
P.S. The reason why I called this post "Exadata Training" is that you'll learn some real world practical stuff there… as opposed to the marketing material (and marketing material copy material) overdose out there… ;-)
Here's a bit of geek stuff that I've been meaning to write up for nearly a year – to the day, more or less – and I've finally been prompted to finish the job off by the re-appearance on the OTN database forum of the standard "keep cache" question:
This is a two-part note – and in the first part I'm just going to run a query and talk about the results. The query is one that has to be run by SYS because it references a couple of x$ structures, and this particular version of the query was engineered specifically for a particular client.
select obj, state, bitand(bh.flag,power(2,13)) cur, count(*) ct from x$bh bh, x$kcbwds wds where wds.addr = bh.set_ds and wds.set_id between 1 and 24 group by obj, state, bitand(bh.flag,power(2,13)) order by obj, state, bitand(bh.flag,power(2,13)) ;
You'll notice I'm joining x$bh (the "buffer header" array) to x$kcbwds (the "working data set" array) where I've picked sets 1 to 24. On this particular system these were the sets for the KEEP cache. (If you want a generic query to isolate a particular cache then there's an example here that identifies the RECYCLE cache by reference – but I wanted the query in this note to run as efficiently as possible against this production system, so I did a preliminary lookup against x$kcbwbpd and then used the literal set ids).

Since we're looking at x$ structures – which rarely have any official documentation – the rest of this note isn't guaranteed to be correct – and things do change with version so I need to stress that this specific example comes from 126.96.36.199. This is what I think the results show:
The state column is instance-related and is essentially something that's useful in a RAC enviroment. State 1 translates to 'XCUR' (exclusive current) which means that this instance has exclusive rights to the most recent version of the block; state 3 translates to 'CR' (only valid for consistent read).
Bit 13 of the flag column is set if the buffer has been "gotten in current mode". (If you're interested in the other bits there's a page on my old website that might keep you entertained for a while – I haven't yet updated it to 11g, though.)
The problem for the client was this – the total size of all the data segments in the KEEP cache was about 6GB and the total size of the KEEP cache was about 10GB, yet the database was still reporting a constant trickle of physical reads to the objects and, when the code to "re-load" the cache was executed at a quiet period at the start of the day some 60,000 physical blocks had to be read. With a 10GB cache for 6GB of data would you really expect to see this I/O ?
Take a look at the figures for object 40189:
There are 272,789 buffers for blocks that were "gotten in current mode" (bit 13 is set) and are also "exclusive current" (state 1) to the instance, but there are also 393,868 buffers that were originally "gotten in current mode" but are now "only valid for consistent read".
Similarly there are 87,233 buffers for blocks that weren't "gotten in current mode" but are "exclusive current" to the instance – in other words they are the most up to date version of the block but weren't fetched with a "db block get", and again there are 69,804 buffers holding blocks that were not "gotten in current mode" but which are now "only valid for consistent read".
Buffers that are "only valid for consistent read" are buffers holding blocks that have been generated through one of Oracle's mechanisms for creating CR (consistent read) clones. As you can see, then, a block that is a CR clone may still be flagged as "gotten in current mode". In fact, in line with Oracle's generally "lazy" approach to work you can even find (in some versions of Oracle, at least) CR clones that still have the "dirty" bit set in the flag, even though CR clones can never really be dirty and are NEVER written to disc.
Take another look at the buffer counts – this KEEP cache is sized at 1.2M buffers (10GB), but object 40189 alone has taken out 460,000 of those buffers (3.6GB) in block clones, and for this object there are more clones than originals (at 360,000, which happens to be just a few thousand blocks less than the size of the table). So, when you're thinking about creating a KEEP cache, remember that you have to allow for block cloning – simply setting the db_keep_cache_size to something "a bit bigger" than the object you want to keep cached may not even be close to adequate.
Part 2 to follow soon.
For all that loves Oracle performance.. Hotsos is truly the best conference, all the speakers are performance geeks, all the attendees talks about performance. Everything is about performance! There are lot more stuff that I like about my first Hotsos experience, the following are some of them..
I like that presenters and attendees are curious about what each performance geek has to say..
I like that whenever their brains are already fried. They consume as much coffee/soda as they can.. and just lay their butts on this couch.. and still.. talk about performance.
A couple of weeks ago I listed a number of scripts from 220.127.116.11 relating to AWR reports – it seems only sensible to publish a corresponding list for Statspack. In fact, there are two such lists – one for "traditional" Statspack, and one for "standby statspack" – a version of statspack you can pre-install so that you can run statspack reports against a standby database.
Statspack – the basic source of information is $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/spdoc.txt
spreport.sql -> Generates a Statspack Instance report sprepins.sql -> Generates a Statspack Instance report for the database and instance specified sprepsql.sql -> Generates a Statspack SQL report for the SQL Hash Value specified sprsqins.sql -> Generates a Statspack SQL report for the SQL Hash Value specified, for the database and instance specified sppurge.sql -> Purges a limited range of Snapshot Id's for a given database instance sptrunc.sql -> Truncates all Performance data in Statspack tables spuexp.par -> An export parameter file supplied for exporting the whole PERFSTAT user
Standby Statspack – the basic source of information is $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/sbdoc.txt
sbreport.sql - Create a report sbaddins.sql - Add a standby database instance to the configuration sblisins.sql - List instances in the standby configuration sbdelins.sql - Delete an instance from the standby configuration sbpurge.sql - Purge a set of snapshots
A warning note about standby statspack – there is a significant structural change from 184.108.40.206 to 126.96.36.199 allowing support of multiple standby databases. I haven't looked closely at it yet, but it did cross my mind that it might be possible to install the 18.104.22.168 version in an 188.8.131.52 database to avoid late upgrade issues – I may get around to testing the idea one day.

TUNICA, Miss. (AP) - The aftermath of a disaster like the floods
that submerged parts of Mississippi or the tornadoes that have
wiped out towns in the Midwest and Southeast can leave victims with
depression and other ailments. Although the wait was agonizing as
floodwaters rose, experts say the extra time makes a difference in
the long run.
The Mississippi River flooding has been a slow-motion disaster
as the water made a monthlong trek from the Midwest to the Deep
South. Most had plenty of warning that their homes could wind up
under water. That hasn't made it any easier for folks impatiently
waiting to get back and look at the damage.
"I'm about to go nuts," said Charlie Barringer, 71, from an
apartment 26 miles from his home in Tunica's Cutoff community.
"I'm an outdoorsman. Sitting in a room looking out the damn window
across a field, that ain't my life."
Experts said they didn't know of any work done to study the
mental health implications based on how long people know a disaster
is coming, though there are bodies of work on the impact that
About one-third of the people who endure disasters on the scale
of the river flooding or the tornadoes can suffer anxiety,
depression or other mental ailments for up to a year or two, said
David Abramson, director of research at the Columbia center.
Ailments lasting longer are rare, he said.
The Mississippi flooding began May 2, when officials blew up
part of a levee in Missouri to protect a town in Illinois. As high
water rolled downriver to the Deep South, they were diverted
through floodgates into the Atchafalaya Basin, prompting hundreds
to evacuate. On Monday, the river's crest is expected to reach
Morgan City, La., where the flood waters empty into the Gulf of
The extra lead time many victims in that area have had could
reduce stress in the end, said Irwin Redlener, director of Columbia
University's National Center for Disaster Preparedness.
If you can get yourself and your family out safely with
important papers and even emotionally important keepsakes, "you
can restart your life," he said.
And, because injury and bereavement are major causes of
psychological distress, warnings "are indirectly probably our
greatest mental health intervention" by getting people out of
harm's way, said Fran Norris, director and principal investigator
of the National Center for Disaster Mental Health Research.
Even the warning 24 minutes before the tornado hit in Joplin,
Mo., killing 132, was substantial, Abramson said.
"In Israel, the warning systems for incoming missile attacks
are 15 seconds," he said.
The problem, typically, is getting people to pay attention to
"It's kind of the opposite of the popular myth that if you warn
people of disaster they'll panic," said Dennis Mileti, professor
emeritus at the University of Colorado's Natural Hazards Center in
Boulder. "The problem is the opposite - getting them off the
Photographs and video of earlier spring floods probably made it
easier to convince people farther downriver to protect their
property and leave, he said. The psychologically taxing piece as
people return from the disaster will be coping with all the
questions: Where will we live? Where will the children go to
Diane Austin, 47, and her parents, aunt and uncle all got safely
away from their homes in the Cutoff community, but they haven't
been able to go back and survey the damage.
"I'm concerned about what I'll find. I'm more concerned about
if they'll let us back," Austin said.
It may not be until sometime this week, and those who have to
rebuild will have to meet new FEMA regulations, said Larry Liddell,
spokesman for the Tunica County Emergency Management Agency.
And "with all the rules and regulations, you have to be a
millionaire to get everything back up to code," Austin said.
Over in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Flora and Michael Thomas' home was
devastated by the twister that hit April 27. They are unable to get
FEMA money for temporary housing and are living in a house without
electricity and missing part of its roof. A blanket covers a living
room window blown out by flying debris.
The days keep getting hotter, and Thomas said her family's
situation isn't getting any better. Insurance papers spread out in
front of her on an ottoman in a dark den, she wrung her hands,
fretting about the dusty air, probably including asbestos from
ripped-up shingles. The worry is overwhelming, as Flora Thomas
wonders when the insurance claim will be paid, when construction
crews can fix her home, when life can get
"It can't be good for you breathing all this stuff," she said
Tuesday, worry in her voice. "My voice is deeper, my throat is
Life is just stressful these days, said Thomas. Who knows when
the insurance company will pay their claim; when a construction
crew will begin fixing their home; when life will get back to

Outspoken Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff has told Cristiano Ronaldo he needs to "grow up" after the Portugal star hit out at opposing fans for chanting Lionel Messi's name at him.
Ronaldo was quick to remind Denmark fans who goaded him during their Euro 2012 clash last week that Messi had done very little at last summer's Copa America as Argentina crashed out at the quarter-final stage.
Indeed, Messi failed to find the net in any of Los Albiceleste;s four games at the tournament which was player on home soil whicl Ronaldo has gone some way to silencing the doubters with a brace in Portugal's 2-1 win over Holland last time out.
But with Ronaldo still smarting at being the subject of the Messi chants, Cruyff has urged him to to stop being so childish. "To Ronaldo, it must be the same if the fans talk about his mother or Messi," the Dutchman told reporters. "If that concerns him, he needs to grow up."
Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has further stuck the boot in by claiming the Real Madrid sar would not be selected in his club's starting XI, stating the 27-year-old star is the "12th best player in the world".
Ronaldo has been tipped to reclaim the World Player of the Year accolade won by Messi for the past three successive seasons after helping Madrid to the La Liga title and scoring 62 goals last season.
But Rosell, isn't convinced and has again endorsed Messi as the world's best. "Cristiano Ronaldo is not the second best player in the world, he is the 12th," he told Spanish newspaper AS. "The first 11 are the Barcelona players. Outside Spain everyone is clear that Messi should win the Golden Ball."

Hi: 9° Lo:1°
A NEW bus service will be launched next September to help Droitwich-based students travel to King Edward VI College in Stourbridge.
The Green Bus Company unveiled six dedicated direct bus services for students to use the highly-rated college from the start of the new school year.
The Droitwich service will depart from the town centre each morning and travel to college via Ombersley, Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster, also collecting college students from all recognised bus stops en-route
College chiefs say the service is timed to arrive just before morning lessons and will return on the same route at the end of each afternoon. A Bromsgrove service is also being considered.
Director of admissions at the college, Peter Gray, said: "The launch of six dedicated college bus services for students who want to seize the opportunities King Edward's offers but who would struggle with the journey to college using public transport
is fantastic news."
The bus will offer students unlimited Wi-Fi access and have GPS devices allowing students and their parents to track the bus in real time using a smartphone app.
Adam Brookes from the The Green Bus Company said feedback from parents across the county had been key in deciding to offer the service. Visit www.thegreenbuscompany.co.uk for more information about the service.
The college has recently-ranked fourth in the UK's top 50 colleges as part of the Sunday Times Parent Power League Tables.
Applications for the college close on February 8.

Brilliant:) If I eat any less I will be in the ground~ Love the black and the power lines in this in particular ...
Haha! I really have to give it a try, after the holidays! Funny, how the bottom part looks like spaghetti sauce!...
Thanks everyone!! Efi, ha! Spaghetti sauce, that's great! Angela - that's funny you picked up on what I was thinking with putting the "less" in the ground - this was working for me on so many different levels but I thought that was probably the least obvious.
This I like! That loose black background is schwank. And you always come up with some cool material combos. Kudos!
:) Mike, I love the fact that everyone sees different things in these - I was going more for the idea of consumption than really eating on this one. Incidentally, I just saw a Ted Talk that may have really solved that problem:

Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to HyperyellowIt would seem to me that if this phones are reverting back to an internal time that is wrong, the issue originates with apple. Pc systems, cars, tvs etc are all able to maintain a steady time reference by having the internal clock track it. I have set my phone to manual and while having this way I haven't had the time mess up. The problem is I travel and not having my phone auto update the time based on time zone is disruptive. I've not spoke. To Verizon about it since it seems to be a pretty undefined problem at the moment. Nothing much would be achieved if I did call. I don't know that I'm convinced that it is a Verizon issue.
Partysupplygirlnc Oct 9, 2012 6:34 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to GbrockwayEven set to manual mine constantly changes!
Pancake Bill Oct 9, 2012 6:54 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to GbrockwayIt is a Verizon problem otherwise we'd see people with AT&T posting about the same issue. They don't have it. We need to report it to Verizon so they can be made aware of it. I'm still surprised nobody is talking about this. BTW, turning the phone to manual setting for date and time doesn't prevent this issue from occurring. It's most definitely a VZW problem in that it only happens to CDMA phones. I've only seen one Sprint customer post about it but Sprit often piggybacks off VZW.
J.Felix Oct 9, 2012 7:21 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to Pancake BillWhen I first experienced the random-time/date-shift problem, I changed my iPhone 5 to set time/date manually, and the time shifts stopped. That seems to indicate the problem is Verizon based.
However, if you've gone to manual time/date setting and the phone is still shifting time randomly, then it sounds like an Apple issue.
I'm surprised a problem as specific as this is hasn't been solved yet.
KayCudders Oct 9, 2012 8:15 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to J.FelixI have Sprint and have called Apple repeatedly about this issue. They've tried the manual time settings change and are now just issuing me a new iPhone 5. The issue may be CDMA-based, not Verizon based.
hgott Oct 9, 2012 8:18 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to GbrockwayI defently believe it is an internal clock issue that is used when it is unable to sync time with a tower or a clock on the internet. whenit happens it reverts back to some time in September, when I first got the phone it was August 31st, now we are on sept 6 or 7th.
I did the manual time set and that did not work either several times, but there was an earlier post where there was a step 4 goto privacy and disable location based time zone, I am trying that and so far has not switched.
Rockyrikoko Oct 9, 2012 9:21 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to hgottSo I have had my phone time set manualy and the location services for time zone off for about 6 days now. I was still experiencing the problem for the first few days but it has been 2-3 days now since I have seen the time/date switch on me... Same with my wife's phone.
So now I'm nervous to change anything because it seems to be ok even though it continued to change for the intitial few days with these settings.
-I should note that just prior to switching to these settings I restored the network settings.
cmprince Oct 9, 2012 9:26 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to RockyrikokoI have not had the time change on me since last Friday (October 5). However I did travel from NC to Savannah, GA where I was in LTE coverage continuously. I am hoping that the issue has been fixed in my area; perhaps a tower issue? Hopefully by posting this I am not jinxing myself. I did make several complaints with Verizon along with a trip to the Apple store.
Rockyrikoko Oct 9, 2012 9:33 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to cmprinceI'm tempted to switch it back to automatic to see if it has been fixed but it is working now so I'm worried about loosing my settings. It feels like the combos you had to do in 80s video games... I feel I happened upon the right combo in the right order and now it works
What are your settings like? Did you change anything right before it stopped switching time?
cmprince Oct 9, 2012 9:55 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to RockyrikokoNo, I didn't change anything. It is still set to automatic. iMessage is on, but my facetime setting was off (from one of the previous time changes where facetime wouldn't work.) I just turned my facetime back to on. Location settings look normal. I keep a really close eye on it to watch for time changes, so if i missed a change it would have been when I was sleeping.
Rockyrikoko Oct 9, 2012 10:15 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to HyperyellowWell disregard my last 2 posts about my phone not changing...
I was reviewing some voice memos I made over the weekend and one from Saturday is labled September 16th... So I didn't notice it at the time but it is still changing on me
kf4usq Oct 9, 2012 10:21 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to hgottNot everyone's phone is reverting the date. For me it is a time factor of back 17 hours and 23 minutes at least for a singular change. For me I reset my time to automatic. It was fine while I was at home I traveled less than 5 miles from. My home. I know I changed towers at least once because I changed from lte to 3G at least once. Once I got to my destination my time had changed by the above amount. The previous night I had done the exact same trip with the same time differential. It is definitely an issue with the different Verizon towers in certain areas of the country. It also is an issue with this apple device on Verizon networks, because no one is saying they are having issues with non apple devices or with apple on other networks.
I have updated my network settings to no avail. Now Verizon is asking me to restore the device using iTunes and I don't think that a full restore will stop this from happening if the network reset did not fix it.
Builder1 Oct 9, 2012 10:23 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to HyperyellowMine keeps bouncing back and forth between accurate Central Time and some random time. It is not usually even hour shifts, for example: It is currently 12:17 PM Central time. My iPhone5 says it is 1:38 AM. I will notice it is wrong when I cannot send a text. It will not allow the text to be sent when the time is wrong for some reason. If I wait long enough the time will fix itself. I have switched to manual mode for now but that is not desireable since I travel between Illinois and Indaina (Central to Eastern time) frequently. Please fix this Apple/Verizon!! How is it my daughter's cheap-o 8 year old LG phone is able to keep proper time but not my $700 technilogically advanced iPhone?
Pancake Bill Oct 9, 2012 10:36 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to kf4usqA full restore will do nothing but waste your time. I've restored from iCloud, resorted from iTunes, erased and set it up as a brand new device without using a backup. NOTHING has worked. It will eventually go back in time 12hrs and 14 mins. exactly. Always. All 3 iPhone 5s. No amount of voodoo with settings is going to prevent this. And I'll add this caveat - you guys need to be careful about posting "and it seems to be fixed now" type messages because Verizon techs are reading this. I was on the phone with VZW yesterday and the person I spoke to was reading this thread. She tried to tell me that it looked like the issue was being solved based on these kinds of posts. Nothing will fix this until Apple/Verizon address the problem and either push out an update or physically fix the towers in our areas that are causing the trouble. Nothing needs to mitigate this problem in their eyes. They need to know that we are all still suffering from this problem and WE shouldn't be the ones to recite incantations or button mash the proper sequence of features to manifest a temporary fix. That's not our job. We did our job when we paid hard earned money for these devices and for Verizon service. We are not getting our money's worth out of this. The focus needs to be on applying pressure for the media to FINALLY report this issue and on the respective companies to actively solve this issue. Sorry about the soapbox, but after shelling out over $900 a piece for 3 64gb iPhone 5s that have been glitchy since Sept. 21st I'm more than a little ****** off and I'm ready for TimeZoneGate to be over with.
Rockyrikoko Oct 9, 2012 10:42 AM
Re: iPhone 5 time and date issues in response to HyperyellowHere is something that just occurred to me... When I'm home watching tv I have been playing with my new phone a lot so this is where I tend to notice the time changes most often.
On Friday I installed a VZW network extender and I feel this is why I haven't been seeing the time change... When I'm at home on the phone its connected to the extender and not the tower...
The way the network extender works is it bypasses VZW network and uses your ISP's infrastructure to get the call out so the problem for me is either with VZW towers or the VZW network in genral.

The iBook G3/500 (Dual USB - Translucent White), features a 500 MHz PowerPC 750cx (G3) processor with a 256k "on chip" level 2 cache, 64 MB or 128 MB of RAM, a 10.0 GB Ultra ATA hard drive, a tray-loading CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD-ROM/CD-RW "Combo" drive, 2X AGP ATI Rage Mobility 128 graphics with 8 MB of VRAM, and optional AirPort (802.11b) packed into a compact translucent white case with a 12.1" TFT XGA active matrix display (1024x768 native resolution).
The iBook G3/500 (Dual USB - Translucent White) is quite different compared to the iBook models that preceded it. The "Dual USB" model includes two USB ports -- as one would expect given its informal name -- but also is equipped with a faster processor, faster memory, superior graphics, VGA out, an internal microphone, a higher resolution display, stereo speakers, and the option of more capable optical drives. It also uses a substantially smaller and more conservatively clad "translucent white" case compared to the more outlandishly colored cases previously offered.
There are at least four configurations of this model, varying by the amount of pre-installed RAM and optical drive. It was offered with 64 MB of RAM and a CD-ROM drive for US$1299 (M7698LL/A), 128 MB of RAM and a DVD-ROM drive for US$1499 (M7692LL/A), 128 MB of RAM and a CD-RW drive for US$1599 (M7699LL/A), and 128 MB of RAM and a DVD-ROM/CD-RW "Combo" drive -- only by build-to-order direct from Apple -- for US$1799 (M8520LL/A).

[video] Dicker: Trading the Shutdown
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I was talking to Stephanie Link, co-portfolio director of Action Alerts Plus, about the government shutdown and how to trade the stock market during its hopefully short duration.
Now that major government generated data points like the jobs report on Friday are not going to be reported, I wondered how Stephanie was going to position the AAP portfolio.
Stephanie's first thought was that cash was a reasonable answer, preferring to sell assets and keep trading at a minimum while the shutdown was in effect.
But if it lasts for a more significant amount of time, Stephanie thought earnings would again take center stage as the most important data point to trade against.
With a lack of fundamental information available, I thought that technical analyses of stocks would yield the likely winners and losers. With a possible loss of 1.5% of GDP growth in the event of a longer-term government stoppage, the bias of the stock market will be to the downside. It makes sense to look for technically bearish set-ups and trade mostly from the short side. The most government-dependent sectors, like health care and aerospace, would be the most likely to develop some of these profitable selling opportunities. I talk more about trading the shutdown with Stephanie in the video above. At the time of publication neither the author nor Action Alerts PLUS had positions in any of the stocks mentioned.

Jeffrey Gelinas, also known as "Jack the Snipper" appears at Strafford County Superior Court in Dover Wednesday. (John Huff/ Staff photographer)
DOVER — A Strafford County Superior Court judge denied a request by county attorney Tom Velardi to use other acts as evidence in the August trial of Jeffrey Gelinas, additionally known as "Jack the Snipper."According to court documents, Velardi requested during a hearing Wednesday that past alleged acts of similar behavior be used as evidence in this trial, scheduled to begin Aug. 21 at 10 a.m.The Honorable Judge John Lewis, however, denied the request.In March, Gelinas, 37, formerly of Manchester, was indicted on an alleged indecent exposure charge stemming form a February incident where it was reported to police he had exposed himself to a an 11-year-old girl as she shopped with her mother in Bed Bath & Beyond located on Central Avenue in the Shaw's Plaza.Court documents state that when the girl told her mother, Gelinas was spotted holding something over his groin.In 2008, Manchester police responded to a Hannaford's store in the Queen City where it was reported a man had engaged in voyeuristic activity looking at young children in the store. Gelinas, on parole out of Strafford County at the time on a charge of attempted burglary, was returned to prison.

I want to buy flask large enough to produce huge starters that I can both heat directly and crash cool without risk of breaking. I'm thinking the 5L flask is great for that. What I'm wondering though is whether or not that actually be too large for making normal sized starters. Anybody use a 5L erlenmeyer flask for their standard starters? Also, would a stir plate have much of a chance of stirring a starter in one of these even if it was only about 2L full?
5L? wow. haven't seen one bigger than 2L. you could kill a man with that. Big vessels on a stir plate tend to send the sediment to the edges and don't stay stirred. you might consider a smaller one.
Wow a 5 L erlenmeyer is pretty dang big... in my old research lab we had 4 L erlenmeyers and they were large and quite cumbersome. I don't think a stir plate would have any trouble stirring 2 L in a 5 L flask, however I would recommend getting a larger stir bar, that will help at least partially prevent the problem that PintOfBitter mentioned. I know they are available in up to 3 inches long, but you'll probably have to go through a scientific distributor like Fisher Scientific - Welcome or something similar to find something that big.
Hmm, perhaps I should just stick to a 2L flask if 5L's are so large. Maybe just have a gallon jug on standby if I need to step up to a huge starter. Although I am tempted to try making mead in a 5L flask.
I wouldnt directly heat a flask, if I must, I always put it in a pot of water, and heat the other pot.. it takes a while to boil that way... I have a 5L, but I havent figured out what to do with it...
you can directly heat a borosilicate flask by flame without any problems. wouldn't wan't to try using it on an electric stove, though.
There are only 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary, and those that don't.
go big or go home
I have a 6 liter - make 4 liter starters in it - works fine on my old worn out surplus stirplate. Go for it.
You might want to buy both a 2L and a 5L flask. The 2L flask will be good for normal size starters since a 5L flask will be really unwieldy for normal everyday use. If you are planning on doing large quantities or big beers than you will need the 5L flask.

- Orange-Curd Filling, (see below)
- 1 cup(s) (2 sticks) margarine or butter, softened
- Sugar
- 3 cup(s) cake flour, (not self-rising)
- 1.25 cup(s) milk
- 1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
- 1 tablespoon(s) grated orange peel
- 2 teaspoon(s) orange extract
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can(s) (11-ounce) mandarin-orange sections, drained
- 1.5 pint(s) heavy or whipping cream
- Lemon leaves, orange-peel rose and strips for garnish
- Prepare Orange-Curd Filling (see below). Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat margarine or butter and 2 cups sugar until just blended. Increase speed to high; beat 8 to 10 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping bowl often with rubber spatula.
- Reduce speed to low; add flour, milk, baking powder, grated orange peel, orange extract, salt, and eggs; beat until well mixed, constantly scraping bowl. Increase speed to high; beat 2 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl.
- Pour batter into pans. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool cake layers in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. With spatula, loosen cake layers from edge of pans; invert onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Chop mandarin-orange sections; place on paper towels to drain. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat heavy or whipping cream and 3 tablespoons sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold chopped oranges and 1/4 cup whipped cream into Orange-Curd Filling, reserving remaining whipped cream for frosting cake.
- To assemble cake, place 1 cake layer on cake plate; spread with half of orange curd. Repeat layering, ending with a cake layer. Spoon 1 1/2 cups reserved whipped cream into decorating bag with medium-size rosette tube; set aside. Frost side and top of cake with remaining whipped cream. Use whipped cream in decorating bag to pipe pretty border around top and bottom of cake. Garnish with lemon leaves, orange-peel rose and strips.
- Orange-Curd Filling: From 2 large oranges, grate 1 tablespoon peel and squeeze 2/3 cup juice. In heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, heat orange peel, orange juice, 1/2 cup sugar, 6 tablespoons margarine or butter (3/4 stick), and 1 tablespoon cornstarch to boiling; boil 1 minute. In small bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks slightly. Into yolks, beat a small amount of orange mixture; pour egg mixture back into orange mixture in saucepan. Reduce heat to low; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is very thick, about 5 minutes. Pour orange curd into medium bowl; cover surface with plastic wrap.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 13 Quotes
There is good and there is evil. Right and wrong. Heroes and villains. And if we're blessed with wisdom, then there are glimpses between the cracks of each where light streams through. We wait in silence for these times when sense can be made, when meaningless existence comes into focus, and our purpose presents itself. And if we have the strength to be honest, then what we find there, staring back at us, is our own reflection, bearing witness to the duality of life. And each one of us is capable of both the dark and the light, of good and evil, of either, of all. And destiny, while marching ever in our direction, can be rerouted by the choices we make. By the love we hold onto, and the promises we keep.
