One of my favorite customers had a problem. They had to load around 20G of data into a table on MySQL database. The data loaded fine, but when he tried to build few indexes on the database, he got a mysterious error: ERROR 1114 (HY000): The table 'really_big_table' is full. The error was mysterious because we had around 1.5T of free space on the disk. Also, if the customer created the indexes before loading the data there was no error. This gave them a work around, but one that slow and annoying. Later, I found out that we are not the first to run into this mystery.
Following up on my earlier webinar Implementing Oracle Exadata – Strategies for Success, I'll be giving another webinar to present the results of the Exadata implementation at LinKShare. I'll be talking about actual performance results, our zero-downtime go-live, compression experiences, and performance tuning in an Exadata environment.
ourSquare, the location based social network, suffered from extended outage yesterday. They explained the causes in a blog post, which caused much discussion around the web. Here's the gist of the analysis: FourSquare are using MongoDB, which is a sharded database. Data is split between nodes based on a shard key, usually the User ID or something similar. One of the shards became overly loaded. After failing to resolve the issue in other ways, FourSquare decided to add another shard to share the load. This caused the entire cluster to fail.

I wrote my very first Catalyst plugin, and it's going to be something useful for Galuga. As I don't have a lot of time, I'll be succint. As you've doubtlessly gathered by now, the name of the game is Catalyst::Plugin::Sitemap. It's on Github, but it's not CPANized yet. To use it, add the plugin to your Catalyst app main module
If you have tried to automate EBS cloning then you definitely know that you can't get through without hacking and customizing the Oracle-provided Rapid Clone utility. One of the areas we should "hack" the code to make it running in batch scripts is the services startup bit. The problem is that by default straight after Rapid Clone is completed Oracle starts all the services on the Apps node and until now there wasn't a way to change it.
The Oracle OpenWorld 2010 conference is over and life is getting back to normal. However, this is a traditional time for the OOW after-parties and local meetings to discuss the results of the biggest annual event in Oracle space. Our Sydney Oracle Meetup is not an exception.

The Russian National Ballet Theatre was founded in Moscow during the transitional period of Perestroika in the late 1980's. During this time many of the great dancers and choreographers of the Soviet Union's ballet institutions were exercising their new-found creative freedom by starting new, vibrant companies dedicated not only to the timeless tradition of classical Russian Ballet, but to invigorate this tradition as the Russians began to accept new developments in the dance from around the world.
The company, then titled the Soviet National Ballet, was founded by and incorporated graduates from the great Russian choreographic schools of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Perm. Today, the Russian National Ballet Theatre is its own institution, with over 50 dancers of singular instruction and vast experience, many of whom have been with the company since its inception.
In 1994, the legendary Bolshoi principal dancer Elena Radchenko was selected by Presidential decree to assume the first permanent artistic directorship of the company. Ms. Radchenko is the founder of the Russian National Ballet Theatre, and she has focused the Company on upholding the grand national tradition of the major Russian ballet works and developing new talents throughout Russia.

PFW: Project Runway Peeps
Posted Oct 9, 2011, 12:00pm
Thanks goodness for Saturday night's fashion week finale. After that many shows, people, photo editing, writing, elbow rubbing, etc. I was in such desperate need of pizazz I just kept coating on hot pink lipstick to try and rev up. But, thanks to a little show called Project Runway, we managed to get some pizazz out on the runway and I gave my clown lips a rest. Before the show, I popped backstage to take a minute to do some quick interviews in between the ...

River Falls police arrested a 44 year-old local man for shoplifting over the weekend at downtown's Foster Sports. The man was later picked up at EconoFoods with his five-year-old son. He was allegedly wearing a stolen Green Bay Packer T-shirt under his pullover.
Monique Squire had no idea what to expect. But judging by the early response, the new community education program she's to oversee is off to a flying start. "So far it's been fabulous," Squire said.
Hardy White III, 42, owner of Bubba's Fried Chicken, 109 1/2 S. Main St., was charged Monday with two felonies in the Oct.
MADISON -- A bipartisan group of sixteen Wisconsin legislators sent a letter to Gov.
River Falls firefighters were dispatched to a 1:30 a.m. Feb. 14 fire call at the Bettendorf Excavating property, 285 County Road SS. A building shed was ablaze. The first crews on the scene found flames and smoke coming from the building. Other firefighters responded from Hudson, Roberts, Hammond, Ellsworth and Lower St. Croix. It took about four hours to completely put out the blaze. High winds and the collapse of the shed's metal roof hampered firefighting efforts. The building sustained major damage. Some equipment inside on the north end appears salvageable. There were no injuries.
At its Feb. 7 meeting, the River Falls Town Board held off deciding whether to grant the Pierce County ATV Club a trail extension on 720th Street. The extension covers three-quarters of a mile and would hook up with the trail on 750th Street in the town of Trimbelle. For now the trail ends at that part of 720th Street that's in the town of Martell. Louis Suplick lives on 720th Street in River Falls and is against the ATV trail extension.
Associated Appraisal Consultants, Inc. the city's contracted assessor will be in the city of River Falls through Friday, Feb. 18. Mark Hafferman will be reviewing properties to make sure that all properties will be valued, for taxable purposes, on a fair and equitable basis. Properties with a completed building permit may require an interior inspection. Homeowners who have requested a Review of Assessment will also be asked to allow Hafferman access to the inside of the property. Most records can be updated with just an exterior inspection.
About 25 people came to Meyer Middle School's library Tuesday night to hear a presentation on the $39-million April referendum to upgrade all public schools in River Falls. Afterward audience members asked questions.
The first of five information forums on the $39-million River Falls School District referendum this spring will be held starting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 8, in the Meyer Middle School library. There are four more 7 p.m. information forums to follow: Feb. 22, Rocky Branch Elementary School ; Feb.

A felony charge for injury by negligent handling of a dangerous weapon was filed against the 29-year-old plant manager of Best Maid Cookie in the River Falls industrial park.

A million times a lady
I never believed this day could exist,
The day i met an angel i couldn't resist.
She sat in front of me with that incredible beauty of hers,
That can heal even the deepest scars.
It's so amazing how we met,
That is why she is so impossible to forget.
She's the best gift one can ever have,
And the sweetest friend one can ever crave.
She's like a dream come true,
Her presence can put a broken heart together like a glue.
She's so indispensable and unforgettable,
And her friendship is irreplaceable.
She's blessed with a unique and amazing smile,
That can heal a broken heart from a thousand mile.
Every time i see her i get speechless,
And each time she is close to be i feel motionless.
She's a million times a lady,
And been around her makes me cosy.
She's a queen, an angel and a sweet heart,
That's why life will have no meaning when we are apart.
She's the perfect lady for me,
By your side is where i want to forever be.
For you were my legs when i couldn't walk,
And that voice when i couldn't talk.
She's the angel of my life,
My princess, my queen and my wife.
She's the source of my happiness,
And the root of my success.
She's the symbol of true love,
And a priceless gift from God above.
A unique friend that is worth more than gold,
And the sweetest treasure to behold.
I just want to tell her one thing,
That she is my everything.
Without her my world is incomplete,
Because she makes my world complete.
No matter the condition in any weather,
I'll be loving her forever.

Curse you Basculin!
So I'm playing White version and trying to get myself a Red Striped Basculin, which since this is a White version means I'm already having to do lots of pointless la-di-da-ing just to get the rippling water to pop up, but more specifically I'm trying to get one with Adaptability since I consider Reckless to be pretty useless for me. And for some reason even in the red while paralyzed, it still takes several Pokeballs to try and capture one. I've caught like 7 so far and they all have Reckless!
/rant over
Maybe I should just catch one in Black and trade it over.
Slightly off topic but does anyone know if Red Basculin can create Blue Basculin eggs? I've always been curious about that.
Don't forget to check out my MegaTen themed webcomics at http://www.drunkduck.com/user/Strain42/ (Currently Updating: Persona 4TW Add-On M-F)
First off basculin is probably the most underrated poke ever :p
B) wouldn't reckless be better for him? No damage from recoil moves is a bonus
3) I don't see why not, but I've never tried.
EDIT: sorry got rock head and reckless mixed up :p
Black 2 FC: 3569 1730 6208
I hate basculin. I'm pretty sure those things spawn more than tentacool. Plus, it's a generic fish Pokemon and not even originally so. It pretty much screams gimmick Pokemon. And I'm normally forgiving of gimmicks if they are interesting, but basculin's is just stupid.
/rant over
Any way, have you considered a using better fish poke like Magikarp or Feebas?
Not changing this sig until we get a new main series Tales game released on a Nintendo console in the US
Just send over a frillish.
I'm a jukebox hero.
Curse you, snacks!
I'm sorry but that was what I thought when I read the title
Anatidaephobia is the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you, staring into your soul, using its duckiness.
I use Pokemon I like, not Pokemon that are just considered good, and I happen to like Basculin quite a bit over the other Water types in Gen 5 (note I'm already using Caracosta and Jellicent in other versions)
Yeah, Rock Head wouldn't be bad, and I could easily get that if I picked the Blue one but...eh, I just don't really like the Blue one xD lol
Does Basculin even learn any worthwhile recoil moves for it to matter? I mean it gets Take Down and Double Edge but do those really matter that much? ...I guess Double Edge is pretty strong, and Reckless would only enhance that...
I dunno. I just don't usually use recoil moves.
Don't forget to check out my MegaTen themed webcomics at http://www.drunkduck.com/user/Strain42/ (Currently Updating: Persona 4TW Add-On M-F)
As much as I hate running into wild Basculin, ever since I saw the power of its Choice Band + Adaptability Waterfall, I have some respect for it.
If one has a problem with wild Basculin, Repel exists. Use it.

What's Wrong with my Tomato Plants Leaves?
Recently I planted Big Daddy Tomato Hybrid, I fed them tums water, and provided eggshells, but unfortunately I overwatered, so a few (4 or 5) caught the fungi known as drooping off. Luckily with the help of you guys I quickly threw out the "infected" ones, but suddenly the non-infected plants leaves looked different and curly ( picture provided ). I live in Zone 5 or 6 and they are currently indoors with fluorescent lights and sunlight. Nowadays I don't over water and feed them any supplements. They only have their cotyledons none have their "true leaves" yet. Could the leaves be a bad sighn or is just a healthy plant.
The leaf at the bottom of the photo might have gotten a bit pinched by the seed coat. No problem. I've seen much worse damage to cotyledons.
Of more concern is whether you planted in potting mix or dirt.

"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."
"Card will touch your heart! Perfect Sentiment and the affirmations on the reverse side are reminders to make everyday count! I loved the card and most of the recipients either texted or e-mailed they loved it too! :)"

We had a great stay. Beautiful unit. Beautiful location. Friendly and accomodating host. What more can you ask for!
The apartment was lovely and the pool was perfect for evening swims. David was very kind and helpful during our stay. I would definitely come back!
We had a great stay at the Hummingbird. The view was breathtaking, and the pool very amazing!!!! David and Renet were great hosts. Renet even helped us change a flat tire. The place was a bit tricky to find but David met us at a near by hotel and and showed up the way. We would definitely return to the Hummingbird.
Nous avons eu un super accueil chez David et René. Ils n'ont eu que de bons conseils pour nous guider. Quel bel endroit pour relaxer et profiter du coucher de soleil. L'emplacement est vraiment idéal, très calme, bien situé et on se sent en sécurité. La vue de la piscine est tout simplement magnifique.
N'hésitez pas à profiter de cet hébergement.
We had an amazing time in Manuel Antonio!! David & Renee are amazing hosts, extremely helpful, kind & just genuinely lovely people. The apartment was like a dream, so luxurious with a great balcony with lots of lush plants all around. The pool was also a highlight with amazing views and great loungers to sunbathe on. We really did not want to leave, thank you both so much for all your help, we hope to be back one day.
Este lugar es espectacular! Una casa preciosa en medio de la montaña, con piscina mirando al mar. Estuvimos 4 noches y nos habríamos quedado mucho más. Los dueños son encantadores; nos recomendaron restaurantes muy ricos de la zona, reservaron zipline para nosotros y estaban siempre disponibles. Te daban absoluta intimidad; de hecho, la mayor parte del tiempo tuvimos la piscina para nosotros solos.
La casa es nueva y limpia, diseñada con mucho gusto. La piscina de noche es increíble, también tiene barbacoa y nevera.
Para acceder a la casa recomiendo alquilar un 4x4, ya que las cuestas son bastante pronunciadas. Nosotros llevábamos un coche normalito (elentra) y no pasó nada, pero un coche con tracción sería mejor.
Además, la zona de Manuel Antonio está muy bien; yo le daría mínimo dos o tres días.
David & Renet are wonderful hosts! They are very sincere and kind people, and we're so happy we got to share time & conversation with them throughout our stay. They both were tremendously accommodating and helped plan a number of great activities during our stay. The property is simply amazing. My girlfriend and I enjoyed a week at the Hummingbird and we wish we could have spent another 7 days. The location is perfectly situated between Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. The view is simply stunning with acres of lush forest and a distant view of the ocean. The space is quiet for sleeping, comfortable bed, and modern amenities in the kitchen and bath. The Pool and sun deck were my favorite feature. We will certainly plan to book this property again during our next stay. We can't wait to get back.

Lilian Crum, Graduate Student at Cranbrook Academy of Art (Graphic Design)
Lillian describes her work as: "Traditionally, a graphic designer acts as a transparent vehicle to communicate a message from one end to another. My goal as a designer is alternatively to explore visual uncertainty. I investigate perception through a psychological lens by tapping into the phenomenological and experiential qualities that visual art can evoke. This process is often manifested as enigmatic, anthropomorphic forms that are impulsive yet considered, static yet animated, and physical yet abstract. My most recent work utilizes light and shadow as a raw material to transcend a merely visual experience. Instead, the senses and the psyche are stimulated according to conditions of light, shadow, solids, voids, and transparencies. The varying qualities of natural light acts as an ethereal measure of time and change, and heightens a phenomenological experience while simultaneously expressing metaphysical meaning."

Elise Deringer, Graduate Student at Arizona State University (Fibers)
Elise describes her work as: "My work is a blending of sculpture and textile design. I work with a mix of surface design (dyes, printing, photographic processes) and non-traditional media (concrete, sand, salt, rocks) to create forms that consider ideas of transformation and time through the lens of landscape and the symbolic vessel. My background in functional sewing and tailoring plus an undergraduate degree in sculpture bring a heightened level of sensitivity to intentional craft and the potential for cloth to function on multiple levels – as metaphor to landscape, the body, and architecture – while retaining a sense of intimacy. Part of my internal process is an attempt to comprehend truths about continuity and transformation. Is the transformation of an object similar to transformation of the self, in both permanent and transitory ways? What truths does this yield? I want to understand simultaneous conflicting desires existing within the self. My recent works are constructed primarily of silk, juxtaposed against other materials such as sand, stones, and concrete. Silk embodies contradiction: it is carefully cultivated, delicate, and luminous in a way that belies the strength of each strand. The sand sifts through, the stones remain contained, and the concrete saturates, becoming both in and out of the form at once. In this way, the forms become like a shoreline – a transitory space that is neither in the sea nor on the earth. Time passes; erosion carves a line and sediment builds up. Photographic processes, stitching, dyeing, sifting – these all document time spent engaging with the cloth to develop its identity as a purposeful object. This work has developed from increasing awareness of change and shifting within myself. I see a connection between filters, containers, and the idea of a permeable, indefinable border as a place where opposing states (and states of mind) come together and become something new. These pieces are for preserving, discarding, seeking balance and finding a space where there is room for understanding. Uniqueness is an odd quality to characterize: is there anything new under the sun? I struggle with the same philosophical quandaries as many others, yet I find that the manifestation of that struggle is physically different in small ways. The repeated form, and the tension between weight/mass and perceived fragility or delicacy are explored in a way that are uniquely the product of my hand."

Marta Dlugolecka, Graduate Student at Royal College of Art (Illustration)
Marta describes her work as: "The main focus of my work is illustration, which I create using hand-made models. Through the process of photography and digital manipulation I am able to construct unique worlds that almost seem to have a life of their own. When creating work my aims are to produce an interesting, eye-catching imagery, expressive characters and most importantly to tell a story."

Jenny Kutnow, Graduate Student at MICA (Graphic Design)
Jenny describes her work as: "I use design as a forum for cross-disciplinary discourse. I believe graphic designers, architects, fashion designers, and other creative practitioners can find more innovative solutions to their work through open knowledge and collaborative experience; through my work, I am constantly seeking out ways to blur the lines across creative fields. As an undergraduate, I studied furniture design at RISD and learned fine woodworking and welding skills. After I graduated in 2001, I worked as a product, furniture, and graphic designer in various realms of architecture. As a second-year MFA candidate in graphic design at the Maryland Institute College of Art, I am currently writing and designing a book that explores the relationship between architecture and graphic design. Designers from varying disciplines are increasingly overlapping their areas of interest and practice and my book will highlight existing significant collaborative practitioners and their work, as well as empowers architects to better harness the tools of graphic design. My experience as an interdisciplinary designer not only gives me a unique perspective to graphic design, but also the ability to communicate easily with architects."

Eva-Lotta Mattsson, Graduate Student at University of Gothenburg (Graphic Design)
Eva describes her work as: "I work mainly with graphic design, typography and patterns, preferably in combination with each other. I enjoy working with an indirect way of expressing myself through my design, which is why I think I am drawn to pattern and type. In my design work I want to give depth to the surface, both figuratively and literally. I often work with layer upon layers and transparency, to hide and highlight and to try to give structure and order to what I create. What I am after is a kind of ambiguity, where something lurks under the surface, the elusiveness of remembrance and a cameras ability to shift its focus between landscape and detail. For my final project for my bachelor's degree I worked with the city of Berlin trying to convey the feeling of the city through abstract patterns. The outcome was a wallpaper collection called Großstadt consisting of three different patterns. I think this project is a very good example of how I work, where I have to be challenged intellectually as well as creatively."

Tim McMahon, Graduate Student at Cranbrook Academy of Art (Metalsmithing)
Tim describes his work as: "I consider my work contemporary jewelry while drawing on inspiration from traditional techniques, materials, and designs; as well as the concept of traditional jewelry. Within the context of jewelry I often use what would be considered low-value and unfinished materials, but with more care and attention than a bench jeweler would care use when setting a diamond. At first my work might seem excessive to some, but I focus on making jewelry objects that retain their function and are meant to be worn, used, and shared. I'm drawn to jewelry because it has a connection to the body and is meant to be worn; it has an active role in society rather than passive. I think my focus is unique in that I sincerely try to find the innate beauty of the materials I use, weather it's easily recognized or not. Shattered glass often wins against precious stones in my eyes, and a brightly colored plastic coating can be infinitely more complimentary than polished gold. "

Kate Nartker, Graduate Student at CCA
Kate describes her work as: "I convert videos into cloth, and then back into videos. I am interested in the intersection of cinema and textiles, and how the two media can follow and reshape each other's logic and forms. The textile—which shares the Latin root texere ("to weave") with the word "text"—is, like cinema, a visual and spatial text. Both mediums are intrinsically given to narrative and both, whether I construct them frame-by-frame or stitch-by-stitch, tell stories through incremental and procedural processes. Using digital tools and cinematic methods, I introduce elements of time and movement to textile works. This produces various kinds of tension in each piece: between vision and touch, surface and depth, order and randomness, progress and stasis. As I examine these variations, I pull imagery that is dominated by the optic into a more tactile space where vision can operate as a form of contact. In the way that moving images use time and illusory depth, and the way textiles use surface, space, and texture, the potential for the two mediums to inform one another is great: physicality can be drawn out of the film image, and flux can be drawn from fabric. Recently I have begun to work with VHS home video footage. I am fascinated that family stories rest on fragile video signals, which encode information through horizontal and vertical lines. Just as a cloth is constructed by passing the weft thread through the warp, the actual video information is encoded in the scanning of lines from left to right. I believe this structural relationship underscores the materiality of the videotape, and speaks to the vulnerable character of human memory. By seeking out moments where the tape is degrading, I aim to draw a parallel to the disintegration of clarity, and also to shift identification from a recognizable scene to textures on the surface. I weave these images on a Jacquard loom, scan the cloth into digital format, and animate them. This process abstracts the image through texture and repetitious handling, just as videotape is degraded each time it is reproduced. I believe what makes my work unique is the way I integrate digital media with traditional craft processes. I am not aware of many other artists who animate textiles, and what drives much of my work is the wonderment viewers have regarding the process. More specifically, the intersection of photography and weaving is an area that places my work in a uniquely contemporary context. This fall, craft theorist Glenn Adamson invited me to be included in the exhibition Shot Through at the Hordaland Art Center in Bergen, Norway with six other artists, including Chuck Close. The theme of the exhibition was this crossover of the two mediums. As Adamson states: "Textile and photography: the two media seem, at first, to be antithetical. On the one hand we have a painstakingly slow craft, and on the other an immediate and automatic process. One is constructive, the other indexical. Weaving is rooted in the past, photography the ultimate medium of modernity. It was an incredible honor to be included in this exhibition and a testament to the unbounded possibilities when disparate realms are explored together. In addition to seeking out the historical, material, and technical similarities, I am inspired that both cinema and textiles are culturally situated on the threshold between the everyday and the symbolic. I strongly feel that each is an integral part of our shared experiences, and I look forward to continuing this cross-media examination and connecting traditional textile techniques with contemporary art practice."

Bethany Ng, Graduate Student at PSU (Graphic Design)
Bethany describes her work as: "My work has a very broad focus and I have been fortunate to work on many different projects with many different clients. I am primarily an illustrator, but also have a strong background in graphic design. For the past couple of years my primary focus has been on apparel graphics, product graphics and branding. I have worked with companies that are more technical and tight, companies that are fun and others that are open to just about anything. This variation has allowed me to push my style in places I have never imagined and has given me a portfolio of work which spans the breadth of my abilities. I think what is most unique about what I do is my approach to problem solving. Every project or client begins with a problem. This can be as simple as looking for a logo mark or as complex as branding a specific product to a hard to reach demographic. Problem solving is something I take great joy in and I love the process of initial concepts to the finished product. In every project I like to keep the client in mind and really try to identify the persona of the company or project. From there I try to implement their ideas with my vision and make the project into a reality."
See more of Bethany's work here.
Ashley Peifer, Graduate Student at MCAD (Painting)
Ashley describes her work as: "These paintings reflect my investigation into the materiality of paint and the discovery of what paint can do. The majority of my decisions are reactive and unconscious—I am thinking with my body. The paintings are constructed with multiple layers of oil and pencil markings. In my process, I save my favorite parts of each layer and cover up the parts that do not keep me interested. I am also experimenting with collage as a different way to explore the idea of layers. Each work develops within its own parameters but there are evident formal and tonal relationships between the pieces as I paint many at one time. I want my paintings to be ambiguous, with each existing in their own strange atmosphere."
See more of Ashley's work here.
Juan Soriano, Graduate Student at Scuola Politecnica di Design (Industrial Design)
Juan describes his work as: "I have a mind full of questions, curious by nature. As time passed i have gained more life experience, I have learned to move all these virtues to the design field. I have always been eclectic, I'm interested in creative subjects, such as design, photography, art, illustration and music. I always had the feeling that my point of view and criteria has been always different from the common view, with a particular way of looking at things. This attitude i gained with time, leaded me to develop and transform my thoughts into an applied value of design in real world, in everyday life. I defend the creative process, the function and the simplicity to develop relevant projects. I emphasize in the analysis, development, and communication stages although I always like to translate my concepts into objects that are charged with a twist, avoiding the obvious, questioning the archetype itself. For me is very important to create atemporal designs, but always preserving an universal language, and maintaining my personality in the way of doing. The esthetics are always a consequence of the form, and the concepts that i want to communicate. I like to work in objects, but as an output of a project i like to think about spaces, visual design, systems and strategy and mixed media. In the past I have gathered good communication skills and am able to present my ideas in a fluent and confident manner, in all the design process. From the creativity of generating new ideas, development, materialization and communication of the design."

Tim's work is unlike anything I have seen before. His attention to detail is extraordinary and his overall design for the full piece is refreshing.

Old programmers never die, they just branch to a new address.

Re: Skilled helmsman steering downwind in 30-40 knots...
I don't see any problem in sailing downwind with a reefed main and a small jib or a reefed genoa, even with 30 or 35K wind and I think the boat will be better balanced.
But if you have already the main all reefed, the wind increases and you need to take sail out I think it is a mistake to take the front sail and go only with the main. That seems it was what that sailor in the video had done.
If you go only with the main you have a lateral component bigger and the boat tend to roll more and worse, if the wind continues to increase it will reach a point where that lateral component, even going as much downwind as you can, will be too much and will force a round up.
Then you have to turn the boat to the wind to take the main down and that is very very difficult without a front sail, specially if you are sailing alone or with an inexperienced crew, even with the help of the engine.

I've been making this recipe for years- think I got it out of a newspaper long ago and am glad to see it here. I made it last night per a request as I hadn't made it for ages. I'd forgotten how good it is! I use fresh lemon juice and find the amount of sauce is just right. The chicken is nice and tender as well. Thanks so much for posting this.
This is a good recipe, but I think as another reviewer mentioned using fresh lemon juice is the way to go. This was an easy recipe and my family enjoyed it. Thanks for the recipe
This is a perfect dish! I cannot believe how good this was! We served this up with fried rice, my BF used Chinese Fried Rice, which is so good aswel, Best to serve them beside each other than chicken on top because they both are pact with flavour. I also added babycorn, red and green capsican, and carrot into the sauce as chantel suggests. I do suggest adding a little more cornflour to the sauce to thicken it up a bit. This recipe i will keep by my side for years to come. Thank you! ... We also served The Most Awesome Apple Dumplings for dessert another recipe i would reccomend.

Space Mosaic Done!
Here are all three panels done ... 7 ft. x 2 ft.
Stained glass, vintage jewelry, amethyst, pearls, dichroic glass, beads, polished stones, black grout
Here is a link that might be useful: Silva's Flickr page
I sure thought I answered this thread, but it's not here now (?). I may have a buyer for the space mosaic, and if that doesn't work out, I plan to take it to a local gallery and see how that goes, and if that doesn't work out either, then I'll just keep it; I have one wall where it could go. Then my granddaughters will have to deal with it someday, hahaha. My next project is a large outdoor sign for a local business. You can see it on my blog. He is having the sign delivered to me on Tuesday (Nov. 22) and we will just prop it up on my back porch. I have already bought the glass (all black and white) and the Wedi board. So that's my next big project. Thank you all for looking and commenting and most of all, the encouragement.

Nicethyme and Calamity, thanks so much for your comments. EABdesign, that's the beauty of my substrate -- these pieces look heavy, but they're not. I took a stretched canvas, turned it over, cut a 1/8" piece of birch plywood to fit, then glued the plywood to the back of the piece, onto the wooden stretchers of the canvas, then screwed the plywood to the stretchers for additional stability, then mosaiced onto the plywood. So the pieces, while they look heavy, are actually hollow. If this does not make sense, come back here and I will try to explain further.

In response to inquiries made to the Consulate General of Ireland in Atlanta, under whose jurisdiction Florida falls, the DFA Press Office stated via email that the department is "offering full consular assistance to Mr. Michael Fitzpatrick and will continue to do so as required. . . . We have notified the relevant US authorities of our interest in the case, which is going through normal judicial procedure in the United States.
"Departmental representatives would not routinely attend such hearings, particularly when we are satisfied that the Irish citizen involved has full access to legal counsel. We do maintain contact with the citizen's lawyers to ensure that we are informed about proceedings, and we are also in contact with the NGO Reprieve on this case."
The email also noted that, although the Irish government is not automatically entitled to consular prison visits with American citizens being tried in a US court, they had "sought and were granted one, which was undertaken by the Consul General Paul Gleason based in Atlanta in October 2013."
Fitzpatrick's attorney confirmed this. "I've had contact with the Consulate General of Ireland [in Atlanta] and I think that they intend on appearing in future hearings. As far as the hearing on January 10, for some reason they weren't able to attend. I do know that [Atlanta Consul General] Paul Gleason, has been to the local jail and has met with Mr. Fitzpatrick. It was several months ago, but he has offered and is providing consular services, whatever that entails. . . so that's their role right now as far as their input and their participation in the trial."
The communications officers at Reprieve declined to provide further information as to what steps they would like to see the Irish government take on Fitzpatrick's behalf.
Fitzpatrick's retrial will begin on June 16.

Suicide prompts action to dismiss chargesDecember 14,2012
ANCHORAGE, Alaska A serial killers recent suicide has prompted federal prosecutors to seek dismissal of charges in the slaying of an Alaska barista.
Prosecutors in Anchorage said in a motion filed this week that the indictment against Israel Keyes is abated by his death by law.
A federal magistrate recommends granting the motion and has forwarded it to the judge assigned to the case against Keyes, who confessed to the February murder of 18-year-old barista Samantha Koenig in Anchorage, as well as others across the country.
Keyes confessed to the 2011 murders of Bill and Lorraine Currier of Essex, Vt., and as many as five unnamed victims, four in Washington state and one on the East Coast, the body dumped in New York. Investigators believe there could be more victims as well.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe Department of Health could lose its funding from Entergy next year, ending more than 42 years...

Not much has changed from recent reports except: East gate on Cahaba Valley DR is now open in the winter until five PM and that is good news. New Park management has decided on 4PM check-in time. Something we have not experienced in almost 50,000 miles of camping. Planning and driving a big rig to meet 4PM arrival time in Birmingham rush hour traffic! Been coming here once or twice a year for over five years and will come again. Price is with water, electric, sewer and 15% senior discount. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Motorhome.

This park is a great place to visit! So many activities to enjoy here such as horseback riding, fishing, canoeing, hiking, a waterfall, etc. There is no weekly rate, only monthly during their off-season. The daily rate increases over the weekend, $28 is the average we're paying for water/elec only. Sewer is $3 extra, but there is a dump station if you don't need FHU. Electric is 30 amp. There are many volunteers who live here and they keep the place immaculately clean, and have been very friendly and helpful (had a couple of issues happen in our RV). Every site has a picnic table and metal firepit with grill cover, sites are pretty level and most are paved. There is lots of shade parking and plenty of bath houses so no one is walking too far to use one. Only 2 of the houses on the B campground has coin-operated laundry, this is the only area I noticed that doesn't get cleaned often. The layout of the campsites allow you to feel more private - not too cramped. We parked in B19 which is at the very end of the row, with a short walk to the bath house w/ laundry and the lake. We can actually see the water through the trees from this spot. For those with Verizon, I can't seem to get service anywhere in the park except for the campground - I get 2-3 signal bars and actually get LTE data here! The website says there is wifi but it hasn't been working for months - the only place with working free wifi is the Snack Bar next to the golf course. We love it here so we extended our stay for a few more days. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: September, 2014 - $30.00
Beautiful park, lots of amenities and very pet friendly with lots of nice dog walking spaces. Super friendly and helpful staff. Clean and well maintained. Get there before dark, as there is five miles of winding road from the park gate to the campground. Road is paved and wide and easy to navigate, but signs are hard to see in the dark. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2014 - $32.00
The roads into this campground are paved and as are the full-hookup sites in the park. The sites are fairly level. Although you can make reservations through Reserve America, those reservations are only for the tent sites and the electric water sites. If you wish to have full hookup, you need to call the office for reservations. The ranger running the office wasn't sure why they still haven't been able to straighten this out. Additionally, they reserve sites not by number, but by first-come--first-come. You reserve the right for a site, just not a particular site, which doesn't appear to be problematic. There are several bath houses; however, there was only one shower in each house and the bath areas are quite aged. The laundry facility only has one working washing machine and two dryers, but due to the large nature of this campground, it was impossible for me to get a turn to do the laundry. This park is a great destination campground. There is a golf course, several swimming areas, numerous hiking and biking paths, fishing, a petting zoo, horse back riding, cabins, and a wildlife rehabilitation area open for visits. We would definitely stay at this park again. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2014 - $25.00
It's a little drive to get here from I-65 but worth it. This is a beautiful park. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice shady and fairly level sites but were still able to use our satellite. Wi-Fi didn't work for us and very weak phone signal. If I lived in this area, I would come here a lot. Would definitely stay here again. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2014 - $32.00
This was our first visit to Oak Mountain State Park, definitely a great family park. There are tons of hiking/biking trails, horse back riding, golf, fishing, kayaking and swimming the lakes. Plenty of activities for all ages to enjoy. The sites are paved, however, some have the fire pits and picnic tables down a hill or on a ledge, the park does have a few hills. My only complaint would be the posted speed limit within the campgrounds is 15 mph, most private parks are 5-10 mph, and having smaller children, the speed limit seemed high... 5 or 10 mph would be perfect. Friendly staff and the park seemed clean. We will visit Oak Mountain State Park again. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: April, 2014 - $28.00
Stayed for an overnight stop-over. Very scenic. Long drive into the campground, signs are hard to read. Thankfully, the gal at the tollbooth entrance told us it's a five mile drive into the park to reach the campground. Interesting layout. They have parallel spots along the campground roads. We stayed in a large back-in with only water/elec. Pretty and quiet. We'd definitely come back, looks like there's plenty to do there. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: March, 2014 - $30.00
Sites were paved and nice and level. Park staff was the greatest. Showers/baths/laundry facilities were really in desperate need of updating. Really a scenic park and loved the people we met, facilities are my only complaint! We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: March, 2014 - $25.00
What a beautiful park! The campground in this park is a bit difficult to find and about 5 miles from the entrance gate, but what a pretty drive through the grounds. There is a lake close by the campground, but didn't have time to drive to there. We spent one night on our travels through the area and found the park quiet and very pretty. The layout is quite different, but there is ample space between sites, It is nice for privacy and maneuvering. The big "downside" was the toilet/bath facility. It's definitely past due for an upgrade or fixing up. I'd love to stop here again when I have time to hike, bike, fish, golf, etc. Very nice! We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: March, 2014 - $23.00
This is a huge park with nearly 10,000 acres close to Birmingham but you'd never know you are near a big city. There's a lake, a golf course, RV camping, day use facilities, etc. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. The A-area sites are large and private. Satellite TV is possible from some sites. The Verizon 4G signal was adequate. The campground is a 5-mile drive from the main park entrance but the road is wide and well-paved. All the campground roads and sites are paved. There is a small general store at the campground entrance so you don't have to go back out in order to buy milk or eggs. Some pull-through sites are a bit odd in that your door ends up being on the street side away from your wooded area, but we didn't think think was a problem and we were invited to pull in the other way if we wanted to. There is a 15% senior discount during the week which, in addition to lower weekday rates, made this into a delightful bargain. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: January, 2014 - $24.00
Simply a beautiful, well maintained state park with miles and miles of hiking/biking trails. Beautiful lake, fall colors are spectacular and in the spring the trees bust out with flowers and more color. Friendly staff goes out of their way to take care of guests. One of my favorite parks to stay at. Over the years I've grown very fond of this park and look forward to every future visit. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: November, 2013 - $27.00
In the short time we were there I really enjoyed the park. We didn't get to spend too much time enjoying the different amenities as we were searching for a new home in the area. However, the park had numerous trails and water available along with a golf course. The roads in the campground were in great condition. We stayed in a pull through which was basically a paved area adjacent to the road. You had the option of facing your RV in either direction as there were no posted signs on which direction to travel on the roads in the campground. Most people had their doors facing the road. We chose the opposite and of course had to run our water and electric under the RV as a result, but no problems there. There was plenty of space between campers. Each site had a picnic table and fire ring. The picnic tables need upgrading, but it was still a great atmosphere. We will definitely camp here again when we have more time. The only negative is the distance from the front of the park to the campground and the early closing of the back entrance at 5 o'clock. It is over five miles from the front entrance to the campground. If you miss the cutoff time for the back entrance, plan to add 20-25 minutes to your drive to get back to your site. Also, internet service was supposed to be available, but it was not working. The office indicated this problem was being worked on. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Fifth Wheel.Undo

This State Park is huge! The roads are paved leading in. The bath houses are old and dated along with the washer & dryers. We stayed here one night as a stop over. Ample room for big rigs. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: October, 2013 - $27.00
Husband and I stayed here for three nights in October. As others stated, the layout of the sites is very odd, particularly in the "A" section; however, I'm assuming it is because of the area's topography. We did stay in section A, and yes, the sites are at the edge of the road, but we got used to it and the trees were beautiful in this section. We also appreciated the fact that this being a state park there are full hookups, unlike our state parks in Texas. The streets appeared to be recently re-topped--not sure but they were in great shape and our site was level. I could see where a larger motor home would have to be familiar with the sites but there were several in section A. No TV cable but we received several area stations using our antenna. The WIFI was not great, but we were under the trees and there were rain showers in the area for a day or so. Our Verizon MIFI worked great though. Don't know if we'll ever be back to the area but it was a pretty park at a great nightly rate and a reasonable drive into Birmingham via 65. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2013 - $26.00
We love our Alabama State Parks and so this one was on our list to visit. We loved it. Very quiet, lots of woods and hiking trails. We geocached and all around a very relaxing campground. Only complaint was the trash dumpsters were almost a mile away from the campground which meant for a long walk, but we understand the idea behind it..no loud trash trucks at 5am to hear. We would come back. We camped at Oak Mountain State Park in a Motorhome.Undo
