Univ. of South Alabama Marks 50th Anniversary
The University of South Alabama is marking the 50th anniversary of its founding.
The school will hold a celebration on campus in Mobile on Friday night to commemorate its start in 1963.
Gov. Robert Bentley will attend, and officials are planning a special recognition for President Gordon Moulton, who is retiring on July 1.
State lawmakers approved legislation authorizing the school on May 3, 1963, and classes started the next year.
The university has since awarded more than 75,000 degrees, and it now has more than 15,000 students.

Help with Kitchen Floor!!
Hi. I am trying to decide between a dark or light floor for my kitchen. They are both resilient floors (yes, I know, not "in", but it's all I have to choose from). I have posted a photobucket list of pics (lots!). I hope someone out there can give me some advice because I am just completely confused. I live in Seattle and am worried the dark floor will make me suicidal during the dark days. The woman at the flooring store said the dark "could work". She doesn't want to tell me what to do. Hubby wants dark, but he has no taste! Any and all help would be appreciated! My main goal is just to have a "cozy" kitchen. Thank you! I hope these pics work! http://s1330.photobucket.com/user/herman2manny/library/"
I actually like the darker one and I don't think it is too dark. I find it warmer and I guess I equate warmth with coziness. I do think the light one also works- honestly I don't think you can go wrong with either. My only possible concern with the lighter one, is that sometimes that shade goes pink. I hate pink. I don't see that happening in your picture, but computer images of color are not accurate. You will have to be the final judge on undertones.
You do seem to have plenty of light in your kitchen, the picture is nice and bright. Can you pinpoint further why you are concerned about the dark color. Where I live in Maine in the winter it is full dark at 3PM so I get the need for light.
Decide whether you want cozy or airy. Either will work. Of course, online photos colors are not accurate! So with a grain of salt. Watch the undertones.
Does one look less faux tile/stone? Sometimes the way the colors play in a product will make one look a little better than the other.
Have you looked at Armstrong Alterna tiles? They're a glued-down limestone composite tile with a vinyl surface, and they come in many patterns and colors. We're using them in a guest bath. We were told that every 16th tile repeats, so you can have a more natural looking floor than sheet vinyl. It's groutable too, but you can install them without grout.
May_flowers, yeah, looked at Alterna, but my husband insisted if we went that direction, he would put them in himself. He is NOT a do-it-yourselfer and so that really scared me. He will let a vinyl guy do the work (thank heavens!). Localeater, I, too, equate darkness with coziness, but this floor will wrap around to the laundry and bath and I'm worried it might be a bit much. The light one does not seem to have any pink undertones. If anything, I would say they are more grayish. Also, my kitchen is sunny today which is why the pics are so bright. Normally, it's pretty gloomy in here! Thanks everyone! But, more opinions are always welcome. Does anyone else have a dark floor with my reddish maple cupboards?
I know someone with honey maple cabinets and a similar colored wood floor. I love it. It does have a rug that breaks it up. Are you planning on a rug?
A dark floor will pull a lot of light out of a room. That floor doesn't appear so dark that it will show every crumb. There are lighter colors running through it too.
My first thought was to go with the darker, but after seeing the photo that included your table and the whole kitchen, I think the darker would make everything the same color. The lighter still goes with everything and ties together the fridge and range, too. I'm voting light :-) (But you can't go wrong either way.)

iMac 27 Late 2009; possible to solder&activate a third internal SATA?
the late 2009 Model doesn't have a 3rd SATA on board, though is has the corresponding solder pads on the PCB. When I look in System Profiler, there's no 3rd empty SATA port shown (unlike in this guide, which applies for newer models).
Thus is seems there's missing more than a connector and two resistors to get a 3rd port. On the other hand i'm feeling challenged to dig deeper ever since i disassembled my iMac in order to realize I'm missing the port.
Does anyone knows more about this?
Edited by: machead3 and oldturkey03 ( ) , David Hodson ( ) , ABCellars ( )
I already reassembled it before posting. If there're only two entries of Intel 5 Series Chipset in SP it looks like a two-port-only-Chip soldered or there must be some kind of hardwired jumpers to set this. Thus there must be more to add than just the plug and two resistors (which seem to directly lead to the plug). I remember some additional empty solder pads nearby which may also need to be filled with parts... also it could be a firmware thing as well...
The chances of a jumper to open more ports are slim to none. The DATA sheet to the controller chip will tell you what it was originally designed to do and provide a schematic of the required circuit. You need the information off the chip I had previously asked for to find the DATA sheet. The big hurdles most likely be: Did Apple modify the original firmware for the controller chip and does the firmware for the Southbridge allow/have channel(s) and interrupts for another device coming from the SATA controller. Keep in mind that Apple has on a regular basis limited the available addresses to the memory controllers on their systems. Thus the Apple Intel products tend to support less RAM than the PC world enjoys from the same Northbridge chip or on systems after the Penryn, same CPU.
Accepted Answer
While you might be able to connect another SATA device internally you still need some where to mount the device.
You risk interfering with the systems airflow causing the fan to kick in more often, besides the risk of causing something to short on the devices housing. And lastly, you void your warrantee or even a parts exchange (via Apple) if your logic bd. dies.
What are you planning to install? That you can't do externally? With a lot less hassle or risk. Just the fact you can doesn't make it smart to do.
Where one should dare to ask these kinds of questions other than at ifixit? This is not my work or only Mac, so it's more of a fun thing rather than a smart thing ;)
HA ! Is it me? Or are we starting to see more Mac system modeler junkies coming out of the woodwork ;-} Swapping like for like to get a working system is the safe thing for most of the people asking Q's here. When you start adding stuff within a system thats intended to be closed (unlike the Mac Pro tower) it can be very dicy if you've gone to far. And you do so at your own risk! That's not to say pushing the edge a little can't be beneficial. Even Apple gets some of it's ideas monitoring sites like this one to see what people are up to. Just look at the Mac Mini and the current iMacs and how they support a second HD (or SDD) internally. I'm sure feedback made it happen. I think your on the bleeding edge here, I doubt anyone has gone this far. Good Luck!
Any news about the possible upgrade?
I have also been very interested about enabling the 3rd port ever since I tried to install additional SSD drive only to find the port missing.
Picutre of my Late 2009 27" iMac and the empty place for the third SATA port:
Edited by: David Fiala ( )
The current iMac models offer two SATA ports (1-HD & 1-SSD). The older iMac systems did not offer a second SATA port (some people wired one to exit the case). As far as anyone going forward here I think people mostly upgraded to newer iMacs. If you are looking for a 3rd SATA port in a newer iMac thats a stretch as there just isn't any room to hold SSD, why don't you just put a larger SSD in instead.
Dan, thanks for the reply, but I am talking about the 2009 iMac and a third SATA port, exactly as the title of this topic says so. As far as I can tell, some 2009 iMacs were shipped with third SATA solder pads in place, but no actual port. For example the iMac iFixit tore down does not have this revision of the motherboard. Now the question is, are these 2009 iMac with the solder pads able to activate this port... Because that would be something! I am attaching a picture of my Late 2009 27" iMac to my original answer, so you could see yourselves.
As I stated in the original post reply I didn't think anyone had gone that far, and doing so would be risky. We are also assuming Apple even fully wired the PCB for this 3rd port. As others had commented besides the hardware aspect of the connector and some SMT chip capacitors which you can even see in your picture are missing there is firmware and the South Bridge logic that needs to support the 3rd port, and lets not forget the extra power and cooling the 3rd device would need.
So over a year has passed since this post has had any editing.
I recently lost the power supply on my 2009 iMac 27" BTO with i7 CPU.
I had ordered the parts mentioned in another internal dual hard drive upgrade article based on the 2010 iMac that DOES have the third port.
Once in the iMac, I ended up disconnecting the DVD drive Combined Power and Data cable. I used the purchased SATA dual drive power cable to power up the SDD, the and purchased Data cable plugged into the DVD Data connector and installed the SSD in the purchased replacement "Wall" component that Apple used for their dual-drive 2010 iMacs.
My motherboard also has the pads for another SATA Data connector and resistors exactly like the main Hard Drive SATA Port. I, too also considered finding the connector and chip resistors and soldering up the port.
The ultimate question is whether SATA follows the architecture of ATA where the basic controller could manage two drives, one being "Master" while the other being "Slave". With ATA, the Data was on a parallel ribbon cable and the drives needed address jumpers to work properly. With SATA, the Data lines are not shared meaning if SATA controllers intrinsically can handle two devices, it only means adding the second device and the chipset will "take care of the rest" (were it ONLY that easy). The answer lies within the details of the "5 Series" Chipset.
The "About this Mac" SATA Device Tree shows two independent chipsets. Under the chipsets, the drives are disk0s1, and disk1s1. A check of "About this Mac" on a later iMac with the third drive installed should tell definitively whether there is a third chipset or a second port to the original Hard Drive chipset.
Best regards,
John Pratchios

One, Another, Both, None- girls edition!
Sort of like This or That but you have the option to pick both or none. So I will start by posting two names. The next person can choose one name, the other, both names, or neither name. You can choose based on whether you just like it or whether you would actually use it. After you choose, you give the next person a pair of names (girls!) to pick from. They can be favorites of yours, random names, or the two worst names you can think of! Example:
Chloe Mae vs Lucy Mae
Olivia Renee vs Ava Paige
Freya Ann vs Kaiya Leigh

I have a Radian Pro that needs a new fuselage (my buddy gave it to me but is not air worthy without new fuse and wings) My question is;
Can I use all the components from the Radian Pro Including the motor on the Phoenix 2000? If so this might be a cheaper way to go since the radian parts are about $120.00. Thank you in advance for your help.
|Sep 21, 2012, 05:38 AM
You could do a lot worse Elbon65 ... Which includes the O.E. P2K's motor and ESC.
The motor and ESC from the RadPro would be a huge improvement.
Dump the rest of the RadPro's airframe but keep the servos as well to add to your spares box.

Hi everybody, Norway calling I found and joined this forum because of this thread, I think I´m in love with this glider! And all the useful information you all provide! Still haven´t got P2K… I have only read to page 53 so far, but I promise you I will read the next 100 as well.
I did fly a lot 20-30 years ago, even gliders, but mostly fuel sportplanes. Our options way back then was mainly balsa kits which we built from scratch. Electro planes were very rare, and foam planes were almost unheard of… EPO didn´t exist! And this 2,4 GHz thing is also maybe a revolution?
Well, as U probably can imagine, I´m back in school as far as RC-flying concerns, because a lot has happened since I flew…
I hope to get a P2K sometime, within half a year or so. I asked the norwegian company throttlestore.com if they have it in stock, but it seems they only have the Phoenix Evolution 1,6/2,6 m glider. Both to small and to big for me. The reason I asked them instead of HobbyKing is because Throttlestore is known to have a lot of spare parts etc, and very good customer service. Well, time will show.
My kind of flying with a electro glider will be soaring the slopes and search for those beloved thermals. And perhaps a little nice slo-mo acro. Though I must say I really don´t understand why somebody would want vertical climb performance from a glider…. That´s something we did with a Curare 40 with a .45 OS engine with 60% Nitro in the fuel… which I just raised in vertical position in my hands, pushed the throttle and went straight up for 200 metres followed by 20 spin turns… More like it, if you understand
Speaking of spins; has anyone tried to spin or snaproll the P2K? I love a good spin, and would really like to perform some stylish aerobatics with a glider.
Well, I just wanted to say hi and thank you all for good and useful posts, I´ll keep on reading…
By the way; some parts of the wing and tail structure seems a little thick and will maybe create unnecessary drag? I´m thinking of the leading edges, the wingtips, and not to mention the trailing edges of both the wing and tail. Anybody tried to make it more aerodynamic? Sanding paper? Or does the EPO material prohibit that for the sake of strength? Considering that the (fullsize) F-104 Starfighter jet of the 1950´s and 60´s had leading edges sharp enough to cut steaks with, and no much less on the trailing edges, a 2 meter RC glider should take that kind of aerodynamics into consideration It seems unnecessary thick in some parts.
|Sep 21, 2012, 10:39 PM
IMHO you should consider modifying the motor mount similar to what I did a few posts back, and also add a bottom rudder hinge, again similar to my mod posted a little later on.

Hi, Overvik.
At the speeds that a P2K flies the round leading edges are a good thing. To be brief; a round leading edge gives more gentle stall characteristics and greater low speed lift. The sharp leading edge of the F-104 was a big reason why a lot of young men died.
I started flying gliders more than 40 years ago, sport/scale/aerobatic glow planes 35 years ago, and gave them up when I moved away from my old flying field and I had neither the place nor the will to set up a high start. Then I started reading about the modern motors and batteries and found a great place to fly just a few blocks from my home. I started with a small Extra 330 but soon got bored with aerobatics and got a 2 meter foam ASW28.
Now? I have gone on to a Specter 1800 that will climb, vertically, to over 200meters in 10-12 seconds! Over the winter I plan on building a glider in the 2.5 to 3 meter class that will match that vertical performance. If one really wants to spend the maximum time soaring? A fast, vertical, climb is your best friend. It's better than a high start and can compete with a winch and a short burst uses less battery power than a long climb. That being said...
The P2K's power train is more than sufficient for someone who just wants to get into a modern electric sailplane. If the power train doesn't satisfy you? Then you can start upgrading. My first modern electric glider was decidedly underpowered but still bags of fun. Now I have a more powerful motor in it and some other mods and it's more fun! It took some work but now it does beautiful slow rolls.

Thanks, your reply makes sence to me! I guess I have been away for a long time, and I am not used to "think electric" Maybe there is a good thing getting to altitude in just a few seconds, even though I don´t feel the need for vertical performance.
Leading edges seems OK, and me comparing with a F-104 is way off maybe.
I would still try to eliminate more of the drag from the trailing edges, maybe smooth them a little bit to get an even better glide ratio. If the EPO can handle getting down to a thickness of let´s say 2 mm without getting very weak?
If i buy one I want this bird to sail as good as possible in light to moderate winds, meaning using the lighter battery packs and so on. I will definitely install the flaps, too.
Thanks again
|Sep 22, 2012, 09:22 AM
Well teh F-104 was dangerous because its extremely high wing loading and short wingspan..
it was optimized for supersonic flight but down at aproaach /landings it was quite hairy and wasnt any forgiving for errors or failures (engine failing during take off meant no chance of turn back without stalling)

A bit off-topic; but I know the F-104´s quite well, since the RNoAF had them until 1981. Those were Canadian built CF-104´s. I grew up with the beautiful howl from their J-79 engine which in Norway gave them the nickname Westfjord oxe

Robin Williams among list of entertainers who struggled behind the scenes with personal demons
Robin Williams' death on Monday from an apparent suicide shocked people. The 63-year-old comedian and actor was known for his roles in "Mork and Mindy," "Good Will Hunting," "The Fisher King," "Dead Poets Society" and "Good Morning Vietnam."
More recently Williams starred in "The Crazy Ones," but CBS canceled that show in May. Williams is among a number of successful entertainers who behind the lights and cameras of fame, battled their own personal demons of depression and other mental illness topped with self-medication.
Standup comic and satirist Lenny Bruce was among them. He struggled with drugs before dying of a morphine overdose in 1965.
Jazz singer Billie Holiday was another. Alcohol and drug use complicated her career. She died in 1959 from alcohol and drug related complications.
Richard Pryor, like Williams, enjoyed a fabulous career as a comedian and actor. But he also was troubled by drug abuse.
He set himself on fire while freebasing cocaine. Pryor recovered but was diagnosed a few years later with multiple sclerosis. He died in 2005.
Kurt Cobain was a talented grunge rock performer in the 1990s. He started the band Nirvana in that decade.
Cobain also struggled with drug use. He committed suicide in 1994.
The entertainment world and the people who adore the performers should do more to hear the cries for help, and then make sure the call is answered.

Obesity is common, SERIOUS… and costly.
You already know this, else you would have not opened this email, and you probably need to do something about it. The greatest enemy of the typical overweight person is the food industry. They make carb-rich foods cheap, and they hide them in almost everything.
Here is the scoop about the great food experiment: the food industry is producing great quantities of addictive foods, and we are seeing the results of it in the statistics. It is not your fault that they got you addicted, but you need to make the decision to change.
1. Obesity is Common
More than one-third American adults are obese. Are you there yet? The Journal of the American Medical Association
Wikipedia defines obesity as "a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems."
If you're at all typical, your belly is covered in fat, and no matter what you do, it is not budging. You walk past a bakery, and gain a pound. And by supper time there is no way you can resist the starchy snack.
2. Obesity is a Serious Health Threat
Obesity-related conditions are some of the leading causes of preventable death – heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, says National Hearth, Blood and Lung Institute
These serious conditions can kill you quickly, or knock you down for the rest of your life – and that is not a very good prospect, is it?
3. Obesity is Costly
In 2008, the estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion. And the medical costs for obese people were $1,429 higher than those of normal weigh, says Health Affairs
How long before health insurance premiums will go up based on Body Mass Index?
If you stop to ponder these three real-life statistics, they're quite scary!
Get the weight under control, and keep it off …
The Thyroid Dominant Body Type has been totally mistreated by the American Diet and Nutrition professionals. The ticket out of the big-belly-loop is in eating lots of healthy fats and light proteins, with vegetables – and not eating starchy foods. That's goodbye to bread, pasta, cake, cookie, fries, soda pop and fruit juice.
Here are some ideas for helping you make the switch.These products will help in three important ways…
A great colon cleanse to counteract the typical American diet which is severely lacking in fiber, due to high consumption of refined or processed foods.
Jump-start any new diet, exercise or supplement regimen with this natural herb and fiber blend. Many users have reported weight loss with regular use.
Improve elimination, stabilize transit time and reduce all colon functions. Regular bowel movements are critical for healthy digestive function, and overall health too. Aerobic Bulk Cleanse is an excellent way to detoxify and help meet your fiber needs.

- Remove toxins from your body

Quite an insult, if you are a dog
Was trimming sucker branches from maples in the front yard, Spook was with me of course. The neighbor has 2 cute little maltese dogs that weigh about 2 pounds each. They are happy friendly little dogs that seem to be on springs. They let them out 3 times a day and lke all dogs they have to sniff everything around. They spotted me and came running then the spotted Spook and they began barking at her, standing about 5' away. She stood up and turned her back on them and laid down and began washing a paw. Guess the dogs were beneath her dignity. They weren't too sure how to handle being completely ignored but they finally decided whats the point of barking when the cat ignores you.
Our neighbor's dachshund, Emmy, who may weigh 8 pounds, wants to be friends with Maggie, our cat, very much. Since Maggie is taller and weighs almost twice as much as Emmy, we were a little tentative about what might happen. We needn't have worried: Emmy comes bounding over to our yard, little body and tail both quivering with anticipation, and Maggie totally ignores her, walking to our neighbor to be petted.
Lilo, Jasmyn is so regal; she's truly beautiful.
George, I'll bet the Maltese aren't used to being ignored--even by a cat!

2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
I've owned a 2002 Eclipse RS for nearly 9 years. For the first 8 this car was perfect. Only scheduled maintenance, not a thing went wrong. In the last 10 months things have started to go. Oil pan rot. Never heard of it and could be due to living in New England. That was expensive. Air conditioner compressor, again expensive. Front struts, VERY expensive! Slave cylinder for the clutch, low cost to repair but was a major inconvenience. Rear gate lifters went the first winter in Maine. car was 5 years old at that time. I just use a stick to hold up the gate. The car has 88,000 on it and just had it's first brake job. Not bad. It's up for sale. Just bought a new Altima but will miss my Eclipse.

I have had my car for almost three
years, and until now I have had no
problems whatsoever. However, recently
I found that there was a problem with
the ignition switch that is prevalent
in all Eclipses. When it goes bad, the
clock, radio, and air conditioning
will sometimes not work. If I had not
purchased my extended warranty, it
would have cost $282 to have fixed.
Other than this, I have loved my car.

What Do Oracle Audit Vault Collection Agents Do?
The Oracle Audit Vault is installed on a server, and collector agents are installed on the hosts running the source databases. These collector agents communicate with the audit vault server.
If the collection agents are not active, no audit data is lost, as long as the source database continues to collect the audit data. When the collection agent is restarted, it will capture the audit data that the source database had collected during the time the collection agent was inactive.
There are three types of agent collectors for Oracle databases. There are other collectors for third-party database vendors such as SAP Sybase, Microsoft SQL-Server, and IBM DB2.
Audit Value Collectors for Oracle Databases*
Audit Trail Type
How Enabled
Collector Name
Database audit trail
For standard audit records:
AUDIT_TRAIL initialization parameter set to:
DB or
For fine-grained audit records: The
audit trail parameter of
DBMS_FGA.ADD_POLICY procedure is set to:
DBMS_FGA.DB or
Operating system audit trail
For standard audit records:
AUDIT_TRAIL initialization parameter is set to:

For syslog audit trails,
AUDIT_TRAIL is set to

AUDIT_SYSLOG_LEVEL parameter must be set.
For fine-grained audit records: The
audit_trail parameter of the

Oracle E-Business Suite Database 12c Upgrade Security Notes
When upgrading the Oracle E-Business Suite database to Oracle Database 12c (12.1), there are a number of security considerations and steps that should be included in the upgrade procedure. Oracle Support Note ID 1524398.1 Interoperability Notes EBS 12.0 or 12.1 with RDBMS 12cR1 details the upgrade steps. Here, we will document steps that should be included or modified to improve database security. All references to steps are the steps in Note ID 1524398.1.Step 8
"While not mandatory for the interoperability of Oracle E-Business Suite with the Oracle Database, customers may choose to apply Database Patch Set Updates (PSU) on their Oracle E-Business Suite Database ...".
After any database upgrade, the latest CPU patch (either PSU or SPU) should always be applied. The database upgrade only has the latest CPU patch available at the time of release of the database upgrade patch. In the case of 18.104.22.168, the database upgrade will be current as of July 2013 and be missing the latest five CPU patches. Database upgrade patches reset the CPU level - so even if you had applied the latest CPU patch prior to the upgrade, the upgrade will revert the CPU patch level to July 2013.
From a security perspective, the latest PSU patch should be considered mandatory.Step 11
It is important to note from a security perspective that Database Vault must be disable during the upgrade process. Any protections enabled in Database Vault intended for DBAs will be disabled during the upgrade.Step 15
The DMSYS schema is no longer used with Oracle E-Business Suite and can be safely dropped. We recommended you drop the schema as part of this step to reduce the attack surface of the database and remove unused components. Use the following SQL to remove the DMSYS user --
DROP USER DMSYS CASCADE;Step 16
As part of the upgrade, it is a good time to review security related initialization parameters are set correctly. Verify the following parameters are set -
o7_dictionary_accessibility = FALSE audit_trail = <set to a value other than none> sec_case_sensitive_logon = TRUE (patch 12964564 may have to be applied)Step 20
For Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1, the sqlnet_ifile.ora should contain the following parameter to correspond with the initialization parameter sec_case_sensitive_login = true -

What can the Oracle Audit Vault Protect?
For Oracle database customers the Oracle Audit Vault can protect the following:
- SQL statements logs – Data Manipulation Language (DML) statement auditing such as when users are attempting to query the database or modify data, using SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE.
- Database Schema Objects changes – Data Definition Language (DDL) statement auditing such as when users create or modify database structures such as tables or views.
- Database Privileges and Changes – Auditing can be defined for the granting of system privileges, such as SELECT ANY TABLE. With this kind of auditing, Oracle Audit Vault records SQL statements that require the audited privilege to succeed.
- Fine-grained audit logs – Fine Grained Auditing activities stored in SYS.FGA_LOG$ such as whether an IP address from outside the corporate network is being used or if specific table columns are being modified. For example, when the HR.SALARY table is SELECTED using direct database connection (not from the application), a condition could be to log the details of result sets where the PROPOSED_SALARY column is greater than $500,000 USD.
- Redo log data – Database redo log file data. The redo log files store all changes that occur in the database. Every instance of an Oracle database has an associated redo log to protect the database in case of an instance failure. In Oracle Audit Vault, the capture rule specifies DML and DDL changes that should be checked when Oracle Database scans the database redo log.
The Audit Vault also supports –
- Database Vault – Database Vault settings stored in DVSYS.AUDIT_TRAIL$ such as Realm audit, factor audit and Rule Audit.
- System and SYS – Core changes to the database by privileged users such as DBAs as recorded by AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS.
- Stored Procedure Auditing – Monitor any changes made to PL/SQL and stored procedures. Standard reports are provided to stored procedure operations, deleted and created procedures as well as modification history.

The mazda 6 bluetooth issues control structure is in most cases intuitive, with all major knobs and buttons naturally labeled and simply manipulated. it's sexy, too, with crimson backlighting for the gauges and a swish middle stack sweeping ahead towards the windshield, despite the fact that the atypical black-and-silver patterned plastic trim in journeying models and above is not going to strike everyone's fancy. materials high quality is hit-or-pass over, as the wealthy-feeling soft-contact subject material on the passenger side of the dashboard contrasts with low-cost arduous stuff on the driving force aspect.

in the audio department, the 6's usual stereo is just enough, and while the optional Bose gadget sounds markedly better, it lacks the clarity and wealthy bass response of the best stereos on this category. there may be better information on the cargo-carrying entrance, the place the sixteen.6-cubic-foot trunk units a new same old for domestic sedans. furthermore, it can be more desirable with the aid of upscale strut helps that do not impinge on the cargo area, and the 60/40-cut up-folding rear seats add to the 6's impressive hauling capabilities.

A awesome quantity of highway noise filters into the 6's cabin at velocity.

The 5-pace automated is much less engaging but offers remarkably refined shifts. the large 3.7-liter V6 feels and sounds muscular, but it's a clean operator, even at greater engine speeds. unluckily, the six-pace computerized is not tuned for enthusiastic using -- downshifts are delayed, even in guide mode. handling is spectacular for a big household sedan, however the 6 would not really feel as tossable in corners as the Altima, and its guidance is lighter and looser than the nimble Nissan's. there may be most likely sufficient zoom on this chassis to placate folks that like to pressure, whereas the average client will relish the 6's reasonably compliant journey.
2013 Chevrolet Spark lt for sale
The minimal 5-entryway hatchback contends with a climbing workforce of minicars that gimmicks the MINI Cooper that dispatched the stage inside the U.s., the new Fiat 500, the Mitsubishi i electrical auto, and a couple of two-seat passages, the developing old savvy Fortwo and the new Scion iq.
actually assuming its 12-foot-1-inch length is unequivocally three toes shorter than a Chevrolet Cruze smaller 4-entryway vehicle, the Spark does not so much show up as little as it seems to be. best in scale- -stopped beside an amusement utility auto, as a sample -is its fitting measurement prominent.
The creators have accomplished all that they may to blanket the Spark's extents. its a tall auto roosted on little 15-inch wheels, however stress strains, dark plastic boards that proceed with the window line, and a vast Chevy twin-opening grille help to conceal the chunk sided, scorn nosed field-on-wheels show up.
The handles for the back entryways are stowed away operating at a profit plastic trim, which Chevy says gives the auto a "roadster like" appear. we don't in all actuality buy that, however outwardly the back entryways don't fundamentally learn as entryways on first look. while the back completion is everything except vertical, a long top spoiler stretches out to edge the back window opening, offering profundity to the back and bettering the Spark's aeromechanics too.
inside, the textured hard-plastic dash makes no attempt and camouflage what its through copying another topic. so also, the seats are unashamedly manufactured material. however constitution color embeds on the entryway trim, inside the entryway boxes, and on the dashboard include a sprightly stress. They take notice the painted inside steel found in economy autos of the Sixties, despite the fact that inside the Spark they may be all body-color plastic presented for effect.
Like its vast sibling the Sonic, the Spark has a "motorbike model" instrument case mounted on the direction section. It suits a speedometer and a little auto learning show. the base Spark has a little monochrome center showcase, yet all LT trim levels work a 7-inch coloration touchscreen show inside the heart stack.
there is only one motor in the Spark, a 84-pull 1.2-liter four-barrel Ecotec that puts out eighty three lb-toes of torque. The Spark comes same old with a five-velocity handbook gearbox, and a four-pace automated transmission will likewise be requested for an extra $925. Forceful driving with the aide can hustle the little Spark by means of town acceptably, however the robotized is, honestly, a puppy. Its first gear is inordinate sufficient that quickening a long way from stoplights shows up excruciatingly steady, and it would not appear to offer such a great amount of punch at any velocity or in any apparatuses. this is one auto for which the handbook gearbox may be the main conceivable choice.
The 2013 Chevrolet Spark lt for sale with the aide transmission is EPA-evaluated at 32 mpg city, 38 mpg thruway, for a blended score of 34 mpg- -comparable to the rest inside the class, however sensibly lower than a considerable amount of bigger reduced vehicles, which benefit from higher the study of air. the programmed model is accessible in lower, at a consolidated 32 mpg (28 mpg city, 37 mpg road). The Spark runs on consistent evaluation gas, in spite of the fact that; the Fiat 500 prescribes top rate gas.
The Spark's ride is somewhat firm, by and by it dealt with broken NY city roads with aplomb- -despite the fact that riders had been mindful of each knock, pothole, edge, and swell. its tall enough that travelers will truly feel the Spark inclining toward difficult corners, nonetheless its reasonably little wheels and tires toiled grave to convey the road. the electric force direction deals some interstate feel, and though its barely ever as charming to throw round as the MINI Cooper, the Spark can trade paths into spaces diverse autos couldn't fit into, and it is a delight to stop. Our starting force provided for us no probability to test the Spark at 75-mph turnpike speeds.
within, the Spark's seats are physically movable yet agreeable -if a tad bit thin for broad channeled American travelers. The back seatback is upright, yet with to some degree arrangement between front- and once more seat riders, four adult male people can possess the Spark and go in reasonable house. that is more than can additionally be expressed for the MINI Cooper or Fiat 500, actually assuming the Mitsubishi i electric auto -the main other 5-entryway hatchback on this arrangement -bargains also shocking back seat space too.
With the back seat up, the Spark has 11.four cubic feet of load territory -enough to hold 10 to 12 full paper staple gear without issues -which grows to 31.2 cubic toes when the 60/40 part back seat is flipped and collapsed down. A payload net is close by as a feature of the higher trim levels, as are rails to mount baggage bearers on the top.
The 2013 Chevrolet Spark lt for sale has been intended to satisfy all present and future U.s. security necessities, and springs ordinary and not utilizing a less than 10 airbags. It has now not yet been appraised for accident wellbeing by method for either the NHTSA or IIHS. The Spark has not least complex electronic dependability keep watch over and electronically monitored slowing mechanisms, yet moreover doorway seat-cinch pretensioners and same old Hill start help- -a decent trademark for youthful drivers. Outward innovative and insightful is great, together with respectable back three-quarter perceivability over the intention energy's shoulder for switching (no back creative and judicious Polaroid is possible). All Sparks come standard with GM's Onstar gadget and 6 free months of bearer.
quickly for a minicar, all Sparks come typical with air-con, vitality windows, a back window wiper, and a drive pc. Furthermore Chevy contemplated that one methodology to make the Spark appear to be considerably less machine like

Is anyone actually using this database? - How to tell whether or not you can delete an old database
When you log into a database server that has been running for several years, you will often find lots of files from databases that may not have been used for some time.
The people who created them probably left the company long ago and there is little documentation on the databases. Nobody is certain whether or not they are still being used, so they just sit around using up disk space. If the databases are started up, then they're also using memory, even though they may not be doing anything productive.
Rather than prolonging this situation, it's a good idea to remove these databases - once you've confirmed that no-one uses them anymore. Unfortunately, within a large business it may not be easy finding out who within the company is using which databases, if documentation has not been kept up to date.
As a starting point you can look in the following places:
(i) Database alert log
If the database is currently shut down, then what date was it shut down? If this was a long-time ago (i.e. more than 1 year), then the chances are that the database is no longer used, or is so out of date with current business data that it would need to be refreshed/updated before it could be of any use.
Note: Just because things such as configuration changes (i.e. extending datafiles) are shown in the alert log, it doesn't mean to say that it's actually in use. A DBA can carry out maintenance tasks on a database, whether or not there are any business users carrying out work.
Similarly, you may find that a backup tool such as RMAN regularly connects to the database. This also doesn't mean to say that the database is being used by the business - just that it's being backed up.
(ii) Listener log
Search in the listener log for the last entries for that database. Even if the database is shutdown, this will let you know the last time that anyone was using it. Be careful that you don't think that someone is using the database just because there is an automated application process or reporting tool that connects to the database regularly. If individual users are not connecting to the database, then it may not be in use anymore.
Note: Double-check with any reports or application support teams as well, because the database may just be a repository, in which case individual user connections could be rare.
(iii) Datafile timestamps
If the database is shutdown, What is the last modified date shown in the filesystem for the datafiles? I've come across situations where you can't find any entries for the SID in the listener log and the alert log for the database has been removed, so this is a good way to find out when the database was last open.
Note: This is assuming that someone hasn't just copied the files from another location, without preserving the original file timestamps.
(iv) Run AWR/ASH or Statspack reports
These will let you know if anyone has been using the database within the last week or longer - depending on the retention period configured for the database. (If performance snapshots are not configured, then you may also find useful information on long-running transactions in V$SESSION_LONGOPS).
Note: Just because a database hasn't been used in the last week, doesn't mean to say it's not required anymore. It could be used for monthly, weekly or annual reporting, so you may not see regular activity.
(v) Database Auditing
If database auditing has been enabled, it will give you an idea who has been accessing the database. (e.g. query views such as DBA_AUDIT_SESSION and DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL).
(vi) Standby databases
It's worth running the query SELECT DATABASE_ROLE FROM V$DATABASE; If this returns "PHYSICAL STANDBY" or "LOGICAL STANDBY", then it could mean that someone has deleted a primary database in the past, but neglected to remove the associated standby database.
Before deleting any databases, it would be advisable to email anyone that may have an interest in the database and then ensure that a copy of the database files and configuration information is archived to tape or other storage for a pre-defined period of time. Ensure that you have approval from all interested parties before carrying out any work like this, which could have an impact on the business.

A +20 and +40 switch selects its gain. The discreet amplifier is only 15.3 cm long (XLR-M XLR-F tube) and consumes 3mA or less currency; the amplifier is driven by normal 48v phantom power.
