The State Office of Administrative Hearings submitted four certified questions to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regarding the Brazos River Authority request for additional water rights.
"The Administrative Law Judges seek the Commission's answers to the following certified questions," the request read.
Basically, the questions concerned SB 3 which addresses flow standard deadlines established by the Environmental Flows Advisory Committee. Those questions concerned whether the deadlines are mandatory and can those deadlines be addressed at a later time under a reopened provision in the law if the BRA request is approved.
"Texas Water Code Section 11.147(e-3) requires that newly adopted environmental flow standards be applied immediately," TCEQ commissioners responded.
In a brief to commissioners from the office of Zak Cover, TCEQ executive director, the recommendation to TCEQ commissioners was that the provisions of SB 3 were binding. The brief also noted that the "reopen" provision was applicable to previously approved permits that could be adjusted to the provisions of SB 3, not a means to approve a pending request.
According to the brief, BRA officials had also proposed a transition clause to allow the application to move forward. Without the transition clause, BRA officials asserted that some 20 months of work and many thousands of dollars would be wasted.

SAHM to Ivan 6/10/05 who says and Matilda 1/31/08 who says :::
On page 68, DeBecker says "explicitness applied by women in this culture has a terrible reputation. A woman who is clear and precise is viewed as cold, or a bitch, or both." How have you seen that played out in your life?
I have friends who are not comfortable being direct with what they want or how they feel because they don't want people to think they are rude. Do you have trouble with that sort of thing? |
1.) she moved away from them both, 3.) she did not keep her son in her sight. |
I would like to say sometimes that wild brain doesn't kick all the way in when you're tired. The other night I was out late-ish 8pm w/my daughter at a wrap class. I left letting her walk and hold my hand (wiggly kid/me tired/icy sidewalks). The car was halfway down a half-lit street. I was looking around, and saw a man cutting across the school parking lot. I thought of the book and the guy following Kate, and didn't act in a hurry, but watched. I was trying to think ahead, but seriously, my brain was saying I had to get her in her carseat so she'd be safe. Later, I realized, I could have held her in my lap and driven even a couple blocks away from the guy to buckle her in, or closed the door behind me, she's in the middle in the backseat and locked the doors. Duh. my brain just focused on getting her in the carseat. And she wasn't cooperative. Fortunately, the guy went on down the block, but I watched to make sure he didn't double back.

HIPAA – Not a covered entity but compliant by choice
Get Them Coming Back to Your Website
Thursday, October 23, 2014
In 1996, President Clinton signed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act into law, establishing national standards for electronic health care transactions. The law sets very strict rules as to how medical records are to be handled to safeguard patients' privacy. This privacy rule applies to "covered entities"; these include:
While LegalVault is not a "covered entity", we've elected to be HIPAA-compliant, taking every precaution to ensure our users' stored healthcare information is secure. In addition to highly sophisticated architecture (including a HIPAA-Compliant Socket Layer (SSL) connection), the LegalVault team is well-versed in regulations and works collectively to keep your data private.
Contact us today to schedule your LegalVault demo, and see why hundreds of law firms have entrusted LegalVault with their clients' most important documents.
Tuesday, March 11, 2014
At LegalVault, we work with law firms to help them better serve their clients. Unlike many other advance directive storage systems, we don't "sell" this service to individuals. Instead, we've created a system where sponsoring law firms have the opportunity to enroll and provide this benefit to the individuals and families they serve.
We're often asked why we don't market the service directly to individuals. The answer is rather simple; we understand the unique relationship of trust and respect that exists between estate planning attorneys and their clients, and it seems only natural to us that the law firm that delivers peace of mind with the completion of an estate plan, also deliver this service which offers round the clock access to these important documents.
What does this mean for a law firm?It simply means that we're not competing against you to get your clients enrolled in the service. It also gives you ultimate flexibility when it comes to how you will bill for the service and incorporate it into your unique estate planning process. And since we do only allow law firms to enroll clients in LegalVault, it is a service that allows you to stand out in the community.
We also understand that the attorney-client relationship can change over the years, and often ends when a client moves away or seeks legal counsel with another firm. When it comes time to renew an account, the law firm can easily do so or for those clients who have moved on to another firm, they can renew directly through LegalVault. When a sponsoring firm no longer works with a former client, and the client elects to renew directly through LegalVault, the firm will no longer have access to the uploaded documents or data.
What does this mean for an individual user? As an individual, your trusted attorney will work with you to get your account all set up and make sure that your estate planning documents have been uploaded. You will then receive a secure user name and password from the firm allowing you to sign in 24/7/365. If you need help with your account, you can always call on your sponsoring law firm or the LegalVault technical support team.
If you are not yet working with an attorney who offers this great service, you can use our LegalVault locater tool to find a local law firm that provides this service to clients in your community.

The value of estate planning is largely intangible. After investing time and money in drafting healthcare directives and a comprehensive estate plan, clients don't walk away with a brand new car or fancy diamond ring. Sadly, most clients never fully recognize the value of an experienced attorney's advice or the impact of properly-crafted estate plans until they fall ill or experience the passing of a loved one. Many firms spend a great deal of time trying to educate clients, and the public, about the intangible benefits while others try to deliver some tangible value by providing their clients with a branded binder with the signed documents or, for the tech-savvy, a CD with the estate plan so clients can view and save the completed materials electronically. In addition to professionally packaged estate planning documents, attorneys can also deliver a tangible benefit by offering a service like LegalVault through which clients can store all of their most important legal documents, virtual passwords and healthcare directives. Once a client is enrolled in LegalVault, he or she will receive an Emergency Access Wallet Card which allows healthcare providers to access the client's advance directives 24/7/365. This card, which contains emergency medical information like allergies, contact information, etc, features your firm's branding so clients are reminded of the great value you offer every time they open their wallets. With a simple online enrollment process, your firm has ultimate flexibility when it comes to setting up a new account and uploading estate planning documents. Many firms we work with include the enrollment form as part of their intake forms, allowing them to get an account set up right after the initial consultation with the client. With the fastest turnaround time across the industry, firms receive the wallet cards in just a few days, allowing them to have this nice takeaway in time for the signing ceremony. In addition to leaving with their completed documents, clients walk away from the estate planning process with their LegalVault account information and peace of mind knowing that with this investment in the future, their wishes will be honored during their lifetime and beyond.

All estate planning attorneys know that effective estate plans aren't static. As circumstances change throughout an individual's lifetime so too must one's estate plan. Many firms offer maintenance programs to address the evolving needs of clients. Other firms may not have the time or resources needed to develop and implement a maintenance program but nevertheless aim to serve as a continuous resource for clients long after the signing of wills and trusts. LegalVault is a great way to continuously reconnect with past clients, regardless of whether your firm offers a maintenance program. Each time your client accesses his or her most important documents through your site, you can be certain that they're reminded of the great value that you provide to clients. The end of a LegalVault subscription also serves as a great opportunity for your firm to connect with clients regarding changes in the laws and an update that a client may not even know they need. For firms who require assistance reaching out to past clients, we're pleased to offer LegalVault ReConnect where we'll do the hard work of following up with past clients for you. Contact us today to learn more about how estate planning firms around the county are using LegalVault to better serve current clients and reconnect with past ones.

Over the course of a lifetime, people accumulate important documents and lots of them. Receipts for big sales, deeds, diplomas, contracts, licenses and as one's family grows, so too does the number of new documents. When children are born, there are a plethora of documents including birth vaccination information. As they enter school, there are school certificates and educational records. Most people store all of these important documents in a safe deposit box or a file cabinet at home but just finding a single file amongst one's sea of paper can be troublesome and time-consuming. Enter LegalVault. LegalVault allows you to store all of your documents, legal and none, securely online. You can access them in a matter of minutes 24/7 from anywhere in the world. It's safe, it's convenient and most importantly it gives you peace of mind. If you're unsure of what documents you might consider adding to your LegalVault account, review the list below for helpful suggestions.

It's an all too common scenario: a loved one passes away rather unexpectedly and the family is left to pick up the pieces. For many families, a time of mourning becomes a time of research and hunting as relatives try to locate important documents, instructions and account information. In the weeks ahead, credit card accounts will need to be closed, cell phone lines deactivated, assets transferred and virtual accounts dismantled. In an effort to help individuals ensure that their loved ones do not have to go on a document treasure-hunt, LegalVault is proud to offer post-mortem access for all accounts. Accounts holders have the option to add as many friends and relatives to their "Post-mortem Access List." Upon the death of the account holder, the sponsoring law firm will provide these individuals with all of the documents and information that had been stored in the account. login credentials for each individual listed. It's important to note that post-mortem access does not allow friends and relatives to remove documents, or edit information, but instead just view the information which had been virtually stored. By having all of your most important documents stored securely in one central location, you can breathe easier knowing that your loved ones won't spend the days after your death fretting over the location of your important documents and can instead spend time celebrating your life.

Most attorneys have had that moment of fear when they hear from a client or opposing counsel that sensitive information was not received. In the panic-stricken minutes that ensue, the attorney runs to check the fax number where the documents were sent or feverishly scrolls through his sent mailbox to ensure the correct email address was used. In the age of auto-fill and technology overload (How often have you chatted on the phone, composed an email and Skyped a colleague in the next room all in a five minute time frame?), mistakes are easily made but when it comes to confidential client information, there is no margin for error. If you follow trends in legal technology, you've undoubtedly heard about the "cloud" and how it is revolutionizing the way law firms store and access documents. Simply defined, cloud storage is a network of virtual pools of storage, generally hosted on a remote server. With the documents being located in the "cloud" as opposed to a local office drive, firms can access the documents at any time and from any location with internet connectivity. More and more firms are getting onboard with cloud storage systems because they allow attorneys to work remotely and even allow for easy access to a document from the courtroom. Cloud solutions are also being hailed as the perfect solution to securely exchange documents with clients since there is less room for human error (no fax number to dial or email address to type). LegalVault serves as the perfect cloud solution to meet your firm's document exchange needs. With each client account, the account holder and your firm will have the ability to add documents. Documents added by your firm are visible to the account holder and vice versa. When uploading a file, a client can elect to notify you of the addition so you are kept up-to-date on case files and can login to securely download the document and store it in the client's folder. Unlike many other cloud solutions, there is no storage limit when it comes to the number or size of files which can be added so LegalVault is the great solution for a simple estate plan or a complicated litigation matter with boxes of evidence. There's also no limitation on the type of file that can be stored so you (and your clients) can easily upload PDF files, Word Docs, Excel Spreadsheets and even videos or audio files. For estate planning firms who desire legal document storage as well as advance directive storage and emergency medical access, we offer LegalVault complete. For all other firms, we offer LegalVault Essentials which omits the healthcare component. Contact us today for a full tour of the feature and learn how you can eliminate the uncertainty and anxiety associated with emailing or faxing confidential documents.

We are often asked why LegalVault is needed. We could go on for hours detailing the necessity of keeping all documents in one secure central location but instead we've decided to present the perspectives of several firms that offer this great service to their clients. These pieces explain a few of the great benefits of secure document storage with LegalVault:

Over the past few months, we've seen several natural disasters strike various parts of the United States. These floods, tornados and hurricanes have caused mass destruction, damaging homes, cars and most devastatingly, family keepsakes and documents which cannot be replaced. While these disasters are unavoidable, there are simple steps that one can take today to preserve cherished possessions. With the advent of secure document storage systems like LegalVault, account holders can easily store legal documents along with valued family photos, home videos, copies of diplomas and so much more. Here's how it works: Once your firm creates an account for a client, they will be given a secure username and password. Your client can then log in 24/7 to upload documents, photos or videos which can be accessed at any time, from anywhere. If the account holder would like to preserve medical results or data, like immunization records, these can be uploaded to the designated medical section which can be accessed by a healthcare provider in the event of a medical emergency. As an attorney, providing peace of mind to clients is invaluable. In the event of an emergency, they will be able to turn to your firm for convenience and have many of their cherished keepsakes right at their fingertips. Contact us today to learn more about adding this valuable service to your client-centered offerings.

In the weeks following a federal judge's ruling that Proposition 8 violates the constitutional rights of California citizens, the issues of same sex marriage once again dominated headlines around the country. With already 18,000 marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples in the state, this ruling profoundly affects the legal and financial rights of many and, with an appeal already underway, may ultimately lead to an unprecedented Supreme Court hearing regarding the legality of same-sex unions. With uncertainty looming, estate planning for same-sex couples continues to be the only way to document preferences and make them legally enforceable. As an attorney, you make certain that your gay and lesbian clients are prepared so if they become disabled and unable to control their finances, they have say over who will step in and make these decisions for them. For most couples, you will prepare a durable (financial) power of attorney, health care power of attorney, living will, HIPAA release and wills and/or trusts. In some cases, you may even prepare a domestic -partner agreement, cohabitation agreements and custody agreement to complete the estate plan. Of these documents, clients are most likely to require emergency access to the healthcare directives (healthcare proxy, living will and HIPAA release). And while attorneys advise clients to keep such documents readily accessible at all times, the need for access to these documents is most acute among non-traditional couples. This is because unlike traditional unions where spouses are routinely bestowed certain rights when visiting each other in the hospital, same-sex couples are often required to produce a health care power of attorney and HIPPA release before they are given any information, access or right to make decisions on behalf of their loved ones. As such, it is important that documents be accessible 24/7. To ensure that your LGBT clients are protected amidst swirling controversy and volatile marriage laws, offer them secure online document storage. LegalVault allows your clients to store all of their healthcare and legal documents in one central location. By offering secure online document storage, you are continually providing your clients with an invaluable service—access to their documents when they need them most.

Storing health care directives for clients is not a new concept. For several years, various companies have provided this service to law firms, allowing them to fax in their clients' health care directives to be stored for access by medical personnel in emergency situations. This service is undoubtedly valuable but fails to provide the complete package to law firms…allowing them to upload, exchange and store health care and non-health care related documents with clients. LegalVault® has all of the perks of the traditional storage systems but can also house your clients' non-medical information. In just a few minutes, your clients can have access to their most important documents right from your firm's website. We are occasionally asked why this is necessary and we could go on for hours but here are just a few examples of when such technology might come in handy from your clients:
We can all think of situations where we needed a document that was not readily accessible. These situations are stressful but, with new technology, they can be easily avoided. With LegalVault®, you can make sure your clients are always prepared with all of their legal documents securely stored with a company they trust--your law firm.

I've got the scars on my skin,
Reminding what I've done,
Who I've been;
Never letting me forget
Everything that I regret
And making sure I know
That I am not Them.
When the moon is way up high,
And the world is in a dream,
I will cry
For all of the death
Within my breath
Whispering into my ear
That I am not Them.
They make me Their shallow joke,
The things They say and do,
Making me choke;
World wants me dead
I'm sick in the head
All because of the fact
That I am not Them.
If I could transform myself,
Make me rich in beauty,
'Cos that's their wealth
I'd rather just die
I want to remain I
Proud of all I am and
That I am not Them.
I think I pity all of the liars,
The way They act like
Sirs and sires.
They aren't truly alive
Just a drone in a hive
Making me thankful
That I am not Them.

I've created a simple on-line survey to gauge interest in OSGi within the enterprise. I appreciate anyone who can spare a few moments to provide their input. I plan to leave the survey open until May 30th, 2008. At some point, I hope to share the results.
It's time to move on and show the simple elegance Spring brings to OSGi development using the HelloWorldSpec sample from the OSGi & Modularity post. But first, a little primer on Spring Dynamic Modules. Spring DM is not an OSGi implementation. Instead, Spring DM aims to make working with OSGi easier just as Spring makes the world of Enterprise Java simpler. One of the more striking characteristics of Spring DM is that it removes most your code's dependencies on OSGi by taking care of the OSGi plumbing. To function in an OSGi runtime environment, the Spring .jars have been packaged as OSGi bundles.

Software failure statistics are abundant and serve as clear evidence that we must reform software development. While industry claims an IT labor shortage is the motivating force behind outsourcing, the greatest factor is directly related to our inability to deliver value-add software. As organizations continue to lose faith in IT as a trusted partner, the services we offer are little more than an ample commodity, and the search for cheaper labor will persist. But, there is no IT labor shortage.

When Privacy and Enhanced User Experience Collide Online
One person's creepy is another person's cool.
That's the thought I had when my friend Amber posted an article on Facebook about Disney World's new plan to track visitors with wireless bracelets. Long story short, Disney is going to distribute the wristbands to park goers.
With the ability to opt out, the wristbands will be encoded with names and ages of the wearer, as well as be linked to your credit card information. Users can also opt to provide more information. And the wristband not only acts as your pass to the Magic Kingdom, but functions as your hotel room key. And while it may cost Disney up to a billion dollars to implement, they clearly think it's worth it.
Imagine walking through Disney World, and Snow White walks up to you and wishes your child a happy birthday by name. Something like that could make an already memorable trip even more amazing. Or imagine booking your favorite ride before you even get to the park, so you don't have to wait in line. These are all a part of the benefits of such a program.
Some will think aspects of this are creepy, while others will think it's pretty cool and innovative. For me, within the confines of the park, I think it's pretty cool.
Is there potential for abuse? Certainly. But you can bet that Disney will be working carefully to make sure your private information is kept safe, both internally and externally.
It's a trade off: giving up some information in return for an improved user experience.
In fact, this is what grocery stores and other retailers do with rewards cards or frequent shopper cards. They have the ability to track our purchasing habits in return for discounts and rewards, and it's a trade off that many of us are willing to make.
Now take a look at your online habits. Every major site and social network does the same thing. While they don't charge you for using them, you do agree to their terms of service every time you sign up or log on, whether it's to Google something or post something on Facebook. The more information you enter, the more they know about you. They track your patterns of usage, and use that information for both marketing purposes, and to improve your user experience. Not only are they improving the experience across the board, they are customizing it for you based on your own habits and preferences.
It's a trade off: give up some privacy in return for a better experience.
Sometimes we think it's cool, and other times we think it's creepy. Or even both at the same time. Some of us are more private than others. Personally, I'm OK with most of what happens online. I'm very careful with the information I share, and I love when I'm presented with an online experience that is all my own.
This is where we are headed online. Search engines, social networks, and even shopping sites like Amazon are collecting our information and habits. In some cases we can opt in or opt out, but this is the future of the web. For instance, having a Facebook or Google account allows me to log into other sites much more easily. I like that, even though it means I'm ceding a measure of control to those sites.
It's a decision we all have to make for ourselves. Do we choose to visit Disney World/Facebook/Google/the grocery store, and give up some privacy? Or do we stay home and stay private, and miss out on all the fun?
It's a choice we all need to make, and it's not an easy one.

MADRID - Cristiano Ronaldo says he wants to stay with Real Madrid until the end of his contract with the club.
The 27-year-old Portuguese striker's contract with Real runs out in June 2015 but Spanish media have reported that he is unhappy at the club and may leave at the end of the season.
The player has been linked to a move to Paris Saint-Germain or back to Manchester United.
"I want to see out my contract at Real Madrid: I'm very clear about that. After that, well, I don't know what will happen in the future," he said in an interview published on Fifa.com.
Ronaldo, who joined Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2009, said he still believes it is possible for the club to win La Liga despite falling 18 points behind leaders and archrivals Barcelona.
"We haven't started the championship very well for sure. We know that La Liga's an uphill struggle for us now, but nothing is impossible in football," he said.

Statement from Nationals Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo 06/23/2011 5:55 PM ETMLB.com
The Washington Nationals have announced the resignation of Manager Jim Riggleman effective immediately after today's 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners. "I learned of Jim's decision just prior to today's game. He told me that unless his current contract was extended for another season by the end of today's game he intended to immediately resign as manager and would not be accompanying the team on the scheduled road trip to play the Chicago White Sox. "I believe, and I told Jim, decisions as important as this must be made thoughtfully and methodically. I was not willing to make judgments of that magnitude in the course of a nine inning game. "I talked to Jim before the season and have emphasized since that no decision would be made on his extension until after the end of the season. I am surprised and disappointed, personally, and am even more disappointed for our players and fans. I was always taught that one of the cardinal rules of baseball was that no individual can put his interests before those of the team. "Obviously, his resignation comes when all our attentions should be directed toward the field and the impressive performances of our players over the past two weeks, winning 11 of the last 12 games. I met with players immediately after the game and asked that they not allow Jim's decision to distract them from goals we established before the season. "Given the short notice, final decisions about who will be interim field manager have not been made. I did assure our players those decisions would be made before they take the field in Chicago. "Again, I am disappointed in Jim's decision and its timing. I would like to assure all of our players and fans that we stand behind this team, are proud of its performance, and will act decisively to fill Jim's position as soon as possible. "We intend to build the Washington Nationals into a championship contender. Today's actions will not in any way deter us from those efforts."

Though it depicts the end of a relationship, a few things elevate "Don't Haunt This Place" out of any break-up song torpor. The first and most obvious of these is the phenomenal work by drummer Paul Banwatt, whose taut and frenetic playing provides the action with the heightened suspense of a jewel heist. But what truly changes the narrative's trajectory is the bracing vocal harmonies of Nils Edenhoff and Amy Cole on the song's choruses. When they sing, "We tremble in the night/ For the things we're wishing were right/ Because we need this oh so bad" the key words are the pronouns. This is not the sound of one person moping alone in a suddenly empty apartment, this is the sound of two people making the simultaneous realization that a real-world relationship means accepting some imperfections, a glimpse of maturity that signals that there might just be a future to this story yet.

Additional Meetings:
Developing and Publishing OER Resources with MERLOT Technologies
9:00 AM to 12:15 PM - Location: Chancellor's Office Conf Room 610
This workshop is designed for corporations, small businesses, academic entities and others that deliver Open Education Resources (OERs) to their target communities. Attendees will learn why and how to incorporate MERLOT technologies into their own applications, in either a standalone or integrated fashion. The sessions will: 1) describe MERLOT and MERLOT tools and web-services; 2) present how the technologies have been implemented by enterprise-wide academic institutions as well as corporations; and 3) provide hands on, "how-to" instruction in integrating MERLOT technologies in Web-based and desktop applications. There's something for everyone here - publishers, libraries, and instructional designers/developers, so register early as space is limited. To register, email MERLOT Webmaster @ email@example.com, to receive your confirmation. This workshop may be of particular interest to those attending the IMS Learning Impact event. MERLOT is a part of an educational ecosystem, as is IMS. MERLOT sees the value of IMS to make teaching and learning more effective through community and technical standards. MERLOT and IMS share many common connections among institutions, content providers / publishers, and technology vendors. MERLOT has found the strongest engagement to date with IMS Common Cartridge (CC). MERLOT has already added CC support to ContentBuilder, partnered with SoftChalk which publishes to MERLOT using web services and which supports CC, and includes CC as a Technical format type. MERLOT is focused on helping people find good content; IMS is focused on helping people integrate content with delivery. MERLOT is interested in the adoption of OERs throughout education. One motivation is to lower the cost, which will increase access to education. Another motivation is to allow for the greatest possible range of materials to be discovered, i.e. choice. Educational success depends on having the most appropriate material available to the instructor and learner, and MERLOT is the opposite of one-size-fits-all. MERLOT recognizes that discovering content is only part of the solution; content also must be easy to integrate into whichever delivery mechanisms are in place. This is a natural area for educational standards. MERLOT may develop support for IMS Basic Learning Tools Interoperability (BLTI). BLTI allows one to access one system (Provider) from another (Consumer), passing contextual information about the consumer. MERLOT could use this to serve different data based on different contexts, much as we hope to do with OER Finder. |

We are looking at VPI for Jessie. At first it was between Pets Best and VPI but after comparing the 2 VPI won out. Besides, VPI donates to our dog clubs responsible ownership day every year, Pets Best isn't nearly as large in this area (or affordable). The only thing left is to check out the AKC insurance and then for my parents to actually sign up. I'm guessing other than financial issues they want to see how WPKA goes this weekend to figure out if she will be spayed or not. After the litter of puppies I whelped this past month I will always encourage people to get insurance; It saved the owners a good chunk of change from the emergency C-section. Edit: Just checked AKC insurance and VPI still wins. |
| ||||
VPI only pays out on a schedule (ie you only get $X amount for Y issue, even if it cost a whole lot more). Many of the other insurances pay out a fixed percentage, so if the bill is high, you get paid more. I've had a handful of clients with VPI and very few are really satisfied with it.

Thank you for your research. I too was between Healthy Paws and Trupanion. I ended up choosing Trupanion because they offer "claims express" to our vet. This means that they will pay the claim directly to vet. Since I chose to have $0 deductible, I would only be paying the 10% and not the entire amount and then being reinbursed the 90%. If it hadn't been for this, I would have put more consideration into Healthy Paws. |
| ||||
I know this is an older thread, but it was a huge help in getting me to make a decision about which pet insurance to purchase (I ended up going with Healthy Paws, 90% reimbursement, $100 annual deductible for about 42 a month). Thank you SO MUCH to the OP. Also, in case any of you other new puppy owners out there are thinking about pet insurance, I found this site to be extremely helpful: Pet Insurance University - A Vet's Guide to Pet Insurance |

I know this is an older thread, but a. you left off one of the best around, Embrace and b. I personally wouldn't even consider Healthy Paws because THEY DO NOT PAY FOR THE VET EXAM! It's excluded, even if the vet is a specialist, and the exam can run into hundreds of dollars, just flat out excluded. NO THANKS.

Peter has heard the legend of the Selkie — a seal who can turn into a girl — but he cannot believe it when he rescues a real, live Selkie from a net in the sea. The two become firm friends and Selkie teaches him the secret language of the sea. But someone else has spotted the Selkie and Peter and his new friend are in great danger...
Illustrations in acrylic on CS Board.
Story and illustrations: Gillian McClure
U.K. Publisher: Plaister Press, 2010
Gillian McClure has gone to the islands off the Northern coast of Scotland for her inspiration, and in this powerful tale of the friendship between a boy and a Selkie, has found a magical subject for her considerable talents. This is a book to treasure and revisit.
We are told that Gillian McClure based her illustrations on the experience of visits to the island of Colonsay. Whatever spirit informs them, they seem full of the sense of another time and another place; an experience genuinely created and preserved.

Why iOS Apps Look Better Than Android Apps [Apps]
Monday, April 30th, 2012You might think app design is app design, whether the software is being developed for iOS or Android. But, in fact, creating highly polished, elegant-looking apps is simply easier to do when developing for iOS. That's the prevailing conventional wisdom among developers who code for both platforms.

Getting more bang from your fizz
May 9, 2011 - 8:34pm | by
Daniel Priseman
I like cocktails; that much should be clear from this blog. I also quite like the occasional glass of Champagne. The thing is I don't actually like Champagne cocktails all that much. There are exceptions to every rule of course and drinks such as the French 75 or even the classic Champagne Cocktail are fine drinks, but other than these two I generally find that most contain flavours that are too overpowering and leave me wishing that I'd simply had either a cocktail or a glass of fizz.
That being said, since a fantastic Champagne tasting hosted by Ruinart at London's Callooh Callay, I've had it at the back of my mind that I should really pay some attention to this category of drinks and try to get to grips with them. My first thought was that as with all cocktails you need to know and respect the base ingredient, usually a spirit, but in this case a sparkling wine, and as such, it seemed that a slightly more restrained approach would be needed for Champagne cocktails, than simply throwing ingredients at it.

Hello all
We had a great trip on the motorcycles up through Indiana, Michigan, three days in Canada then back down through Michigan and Wisconsin.
Miracle of miracles, I weighed in the same this morning as I did last Saturday morning when we left. We will see if the delayed reaction shows up at next week's weigh-in. That has happened to me in the past.
This vacation was a little different than others in the past. I did indulge in a few drinks and a few hamburgers with fries at local taverns. My idea of a vacation is going where the locals go, not the chain-type restaurants. We met some great people and had some great conversations. I wasn't obsessing about calories.
There were many breakfasts and lunches I kept it smart and healthy. We had lunch at Subway a couple days where I had a roasted chicken sandwich with veggies, no condiments, a bottle of water and a bag of apple slices.
Speaking of water, I drank boatloads! We rode five - six hours every day on motorcycles. Just about everywhere we traveled had heat warnings. We stopped every hour or so for a bottle of water. I may have sweated out every beer and French fry I had all week!
I brought a resistance band with me and got three good upper body workouts in during the trip. I hadn't used this band in quite a while. I'm now addicted to it.
We also walked, and walked and walked seeing the sites. Two nights we swam. I made good use of my time in the pool doing laps and working as many muscles as I could think of.
Speaking of sites, seeing Niagra Falls was more incredible than I thought it would be. I always thought of it as a cheesy tourist trap and in some ways it is but standing at the top of the falls on the Canadian side left me speechless.
The Maid of the Mist boat ride was SO much fun. Thank you to my yoga class since we did not get on in time to lean against anything. We were standing in the middle of the boat as it rocked it's way into the falls with nothing to hold on to.
Oh and I RODE MY MOTORCYCLE INTO ANOTHER COUNTRY!!! Jump back. Never thought I would ever say that sentence. I may have conquered my fear of bridges. I never like driving over a large bridge but I had to cross a MAJOR large bridge to get from Detroit into Canada then from Canada into Sioux St. Marie Michigan. I was TERRIFIED but once I was up there, It was beautiful and peaceful!
My husband is a great travel planner. It was an amazing week. I feel stronger than ever! Tomorrow I have one last day off of work. I'm going for a massage!
Below are some pics:
I rode across that bridge!!

Sounds like a great trip and you managed to keep it healthy.
Congrats on facing your fears and riding over the bridges. Nice pics!

Holiday sounds great! Know what you mean about Niagra Falls - I took my parents there many years ago for my dad's 70th birthday and expected I would find it a bit naff - but it's really quite impressive. They weren't up to walking under the falls or anything like that - so we took a helicopter ride over the falls to see them that way. Nice.
Well done you for keeping up the fitness and not putting on a single pound. I'm a bit nervous about how I'll be when I'm travelling again - not so worried about he holiday we have planned for September because that will involve lots of walking and swimming and scuba diving - but a bit worried about travelling for work again - which will start week of Aug 12. I like your idea about taking a resistance band for ST - much more practical than hand weights!

It sounds like you had a lot of fun! (I know I would.) We went into Canada once, for five minutes, just to say we'd been there.
I used to have a motorcycle and I hope to get another one someday! If I don't get another horse.
You look awesome by the way!

WooHoo for the trip and congratulations crossing an International Border twice. Did they do the fireworks over the Falls when you were there?
You visited two places near and dear to my heart, Ontario, Canada and the Upper Peninsula!

I am glad you had a great time. Are you not sore from those long hours in the saddle? I would love to visit the falls. Thanks for sharing a bit of your trip with us and great job on those healthy choices you made.
Report Inappropriate Comment
Sounds like an awesome vacation. A good swim - or working with resistance bands - is a great way to end a day of riding. Don't know about you, but I find there are only so many ways to sit and hang on that it feels really good to move the rest of the bod.
on a great job on good choices on your meals and water intake.
No doubt you will bask in the memories of your vacation . . . till the next one.
Report Inappropriate Comment
You must've had a blast! It's nice to be to the point when you can be less uptight about calories on vacation. Being sensible in choices, not depriving yourself, and then getting in some great activity sounds like the reasons you had a good weigh in. I'm sure the sweating helped!

Definition of CCD (Central core disease of muscle)CCD (Central core disease of muscle): One of the conditions that produces 'floppy baby' syndrome. CCD causes hypotonia (floppiness) in the newborn baby, slowly progressive muscle weakness, and muscle cramps after exercise. Muscle biopsy shows a key diagnostic finding (absent mitochondria in the center of many type I muscle fibers). CCD is inherited as a dominant trait. The CCD gene is on chromosome 19 (and involves ryanodine receptor-1).

(Screen Play) You said that you are working on a lot of projects at the moment. Is that your preferred way to work now, or would you like the luxury of going back to work on one project at a time?
(Shigeru Miyamoto) It's fun to do it both ways. I think the one challenge is that ultimately I am responsible for all of the titles so it's probably ideal for me to know all that there is about each title from start to finish, but it is also a great deal of fun to be working on multiple titles at once. In fact with Wii Sports Report, Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario, we really are at a point where we are in the final stages and have got our ultimate goal and vision in mind. We're at the point where we're just finishing up with the polish. What's really difficult is when there's a lot of different projects at once and you don't know where they are leading. This really right now is a lot of fun.
(Other journalist) With things like Wii Fit and the Wii Vitality Sensor, it seems Nintendo is not just all about games anymore, but is more of a lifestyle company.
(Shigeru Miyamoto) I wouldn't say it's so much about lifestyle. I look at it as among the different things that a family would do together in the living room, what of those types of activities could be turned into some kind of video game or interactive experience. Or for example I have been thinking a lot about what if people had a DS and they carried it around town with them, what kind of benefits could they get with the DS that would make them happy. So for example with the Wii Vitality Sensor, its not a question of what can we do to measure or track different elements of the body, it's more of a question of what can a new type of interface do to create a new experience. If there was for example a way for your feelings to become some type of input rather than simply something that is being evaluated or tracked, what could be done with that to turn it into a video game? For example, if you were in an adventure game, maybe there was something where you had to tell the truth or lie (laughs) maybe it could tell if you were lying, who knows?
(Screen Play) You've announced a collaboration with Team Ninja for the next Metroid. It seems hardcore gamers are constantly demanding more content from Nintendo, should Nintendo be doing more regular outsourcing so that you can fill your release schedule?
(Shigeru Miyamoto) I think it's not really so much a question about whether we should do more outsourcing, but whether or not we can perhaps do a better job of creating opportunities for developers that are particularly talented creating that type of game to be interested in approaching us and working with us. What I think is very important though is for our internal designers to be playing an intergral role in the planning and design of the games we do. For example, in the past there was a period where we did a lot of collaboration on different titles like Star Fox or the Smash Bros series, and within that I think that what is important is for our own designers to be a key part of that and not simply outsource our titles to other people but really for us to remain a key player in the design and planning process in order to ensure it is something that meets our quality requirements. Right now we actually have what we call "second party" developers, which are development studios that develop games for us and we publish the titles. Right now we probably have in terms of development resources from second parties, it's probably about 1.5 or 2 times the development resources that we have internally right now.
(Other journalist) Is a high definition Wii something we can expect in the near future?
(Shigeru Miyamoto) Eventually at some point we will probably release a new system that takes advantage of HD technology, but when we designed the Wii and were looking at the balance of technology and how we were going to take advantage of this hardware system, one of the other things that we looked at was the actual penetration rate for HD television sets in the various markets. That was one factor that played into our ultimate decision to focus on standard definition video output for the Wii. But at some point in the future it's only going to be natural for us in a future hardware system to move into the HD area.
(Other journalist) It is something that hardcore gamers want, though.
(Shigeru Miyamoto) Yeah, but I think in essence what is more important is how fun is the game itself? As long as Nintendo continues to focus on creating experiences that feel fresh and our fun, then the hardware people will continue their work and eventually we will get into the HD era. I don't think HD is something that makes an interactive experience. Of course if you have a game and you have a HD version and you have an SD version, maybe the HD version might be more interesting. But the graphics themselves aren't going to make the game more fun, just cost more money for the developers (laughs).
(Screen Play) Just a few years ago you were often chastised for making "childish" games. Do you feel personally vindicated by Nintendo's recent success, particularly in attracting huge numbers of older players?
(Shigeru Miyamoto) I think the criticism of the things that I was creating were childish was really more of a PR strategy that other companies may have used. I don't think what I was creating was childish at all. I just make things that are very positive and bright. I think that creating something for children is different than creating something that has a bright and positive attitude.
(Other journalist) You have been able to successfully attract a lot of girls and women to gaming, was that something that you deliberately set out to do?
(Shigeru Miyamoto) We haven't looked specifically at a particular audience, what we have always been saying is that we are focused on a really broad audience and we're trying to make games that appeal to everyone. I think that is just one example of how we have been able to create experiences that appeal beyond traditional audiences that we've seen up until now.
(Other journalist) What are your thoughts on the motion controllers that Sony and Microsoft have unveiled?
(Shigeru Miyamoto) Our strategy is to make gameplay, then show the hardware. We ended up with Wii Sports taking a long time (in development). Something Nintendo does well is not only create this technology but implement it in a way that makes it really accessible. Until the technology (that Microsoft and Sony have shown) reaches that level, it's really impossible to make any judgment on it.
I don't know what the perfect approach is, but anything that gets gamers to use their whole body we are in favour of, it does nothing but expand the market for us. Taking this technology in a way that feels good and feels natural in the way that we have done with Wii Sports is something I feel very confident about.
Interfaces are something that have evolved, including buttons and scales... Some interfaces are controlled by the player, such as getting the player to touch buttons, and now getting the player to step on a board. But can you control what your pulse does? Can you control it of your own volition? I think something like that, that is hard to control, would take a lot of training.

ORA-04031 Errors and Monitoring ... Posted by Barb Matthews
in 11g at
Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) ORA-04031 Errors and Monitoring Shared Pool Subpool Memory Utilization with sgastatx.sql by Tanel PoderDon't miss Tanel Poder's upcoming seminar Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting Seminar, to be held in Denver June 15-17. If you're on the fence about whether to take this intensive class, take a look at some class feedback. Since Oracle 9.2 the shared pool can be "partitioned" into multiple parts. This was probably done for relieving shared pool latch contention for crappy applications (which use shared pool latches too much due bad cursor or connection management). The "partitions" are called shared pool subpools and there can be up to 7 subpools. Each subpool is protected by a separate shared pool latch and each subpool has its own freelists and LRU list. If you are interested in more details, a good starting point is this whitepaper by Oracle. There are a few different ways for detecting how many subpools you have in use. The more convenient ones are here: You could query X$KGHLU which has a line for each shared pool subpool and (from 10g) also java pool if it's defined: SQL> select count(distinct kghluidx) num_subpools 2 from x$kghlu 3 where kghlushrpool = 1; NUM_SUBPOOLS ------------ 7 The "kghlushrpool" column, which is 1 for shared pool subheaps and 0 for java pool, isn't there in 9i (and in 9i the java pool apparently is not reported in x$kghlu anyway). The reason I don't just count all matching lines from x$kghlu but use count distinct instead is that in Oracle 10.2.0.1 there are 4x more lines reported in this x$table. There's an additional concept called sub-sub-pool starting from 10.2 where each shared pool sub-pool is split futher into 4 areas (allocations with different expected lifetime/durations go into different sub-sub-pools, but the same sub-pool latch protects all activity in sub-sub pools too). But in 10.2.0.1 the x$kghlu reports all sub-sub-pools too for some reason. The whitepaper from Oracle mentioned above explains this in more detail. So from above output I see that in my instance all 7 shared pool subpools are in use. Oracle determines the number of needed subpools (during instance startup) based on your shared pool size and cpu_count. IIRC in 9.2 if you had 4 CPUs or more AND the shared_pool_size was bigger than 256 MB then 2 subpools were used, in 10g shared_pool_size had to be bigger for that, 512 MB I think and in 11g its 1GB. I don't recall the exact threshold values and that's not really important as you can see yourself how many subpools are in use with the above query. For the sake of this experiment, I set the _kghdsidx_count variable to 7, this parameter can be used to force the number of subpools you want. In 9.2 days it was actually quite common to set this back to 1 IF you had ORA-4031 errors AND the reason was diagnosed to be free space imbalance between subpools. However since 10g this has been almost unnecessary as Oracle has improved their heap management algorithms. SQL> @pd kghdsidx NAME VALUE DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ ------------------ _kghdsidx_count 7 max kghdsidx count
So far the two above approaches have required access to X$ tables which usually means you need to be logged on as SYSDBA. What if you don't have such access? In such case you can work this out pretty reliably by looking into how many of the shared pool latches are actually in use. All 7 latches are always there, even if you have less subpools in use, that number is hardcoded into Oracle. But you can see how many latches have a significant number of gets against them. In my case it's evident that all latches are in use; they all have a significant number of gets against them: SQL> select child#, gets 2 from v$latch_children 3 where name = 'shared pool' 4 order by child#; CHILD# GETS ---------- ---------- 1 765883 2 3560835 3 101684 4 98391 5 86481 6 6130039 7 82593 7 rows selected. It's ok to see some latch gets against the latches of unused subheaps, but this number should be much much smaller than others. The reason appears to be that all subheap latches are taken when shared pool is allocated and when shared pool resize operations are done. For example, this is what I see after setting the number of shared pool subpools to 2 in my test database (and running some hard parsing workload): And now to the troubleshooting part! Note that this article doesn't aim to explain all the basics of ORA-4031 troubleshooting, I'll talk about the subpool utilization imbalance problem only. If you haven't read MetaLink Note 396940.1 - "Troubleshooting and Diagnosing ORA-4031 Error" yet, I recommend to do this first and then read my comments here. As you know, ORA-4031 errors look like this: ORA-04031: "unable to allocate n bytes of shared memory ("shared pool", "object_name", "alloc type(2,0)" ...) "n" shows how many bytes we tried to allocate when ended up with the failure. Italic strings can show various different values but essentially they're just some metadata describing for what did we try to allocate that memory. Note the two bold pieces. The "shared pool" means that we tried to make the allocation from shared pool (if you have problems with other pools you can see there "large pool", "streams pool", "java pool" as well). The "2″ in "(2,0)" means that the failure happened in shared pool sub pool number 2 and the "0″ shows sub-sub-pool number 0. Sometimes the error happens just due heavily undersized shared pool (combined bad cursor management or some incorrect parameter values). In such cases you would see the shared pool free memory drop to near-zero in V$SGASTAT. However, sometimes you can have ORA-4031's even when you see plenty of free space available in V$SGASTAT. What's the issue with that? This case happens mainly for two reasons: 1) Shared pool free memory fragmentation There is no big enough free chunk available even after flushing out unpinned chunks from LRU list. In other words, you have a lot of small free chunks scattered around in different places in shared pool but there is no single big enough chunk available for acommodating our allocation. I will talk about troubleshooting this problem in a separate post. 2) Unbalanced memory usage / free memory in different shared pool subpools This is what I'm explaining in this post. So, how to monitor which subpool has how much free memory available? V$SGASTAT unfortunately just shows a sum of all subpools: SQL> select from v$sgastat 2 where pool = 'shared pool' 3 and name = 'free memory'; POOL NAME BYTES ------------ -------------------------- ---------- shared pool free memory 188017360 However, when we look into the source code of GV$SGASTAT we see this (output edited for readability): SQL> @v gv$sgastat SQL> desc x$ksmss
There's an interesting column, KSMDSIDX column - and it's also what I was looking for! This column contains the subpool number in it! Before I query by that column, remember that I had set the number of subpools back to 2 in my test instance: SQL> @pd kghdsidx Ok, lets see what values we have in that column:SQL> select distinct ksmdsidx from x$ksmss; KSMDSIDX ---------- 1 2 0 Hmm… 1 and 2 look ok as I have subpool 1 and 2 defined in the instance, but why is there a subpool 0 also reported? (from 10g anyway). This is due to a little feature in Oracle. When you start the instance in 10g, then not all memory reserved for shared pool is immediately given to subpool heaps. Some memory is reserved for individual subpool growth. This allows some subpools to grab more memory than others if they have more allocations after instance startup. This may be useful in cases where due some specific issue some subpool always needs much more memory than others. On the other hand, I have not seen a subpool heap give memory back to some other subpool so if one subpool allocates all of the reserved memory after instance start due some application startup activity, then the other pools may remain too small for the whole lifetime of the instance. So, if you have ORA-4031 out of shared pool memory errors or suspect that shared pool memory pressure is the cause of some performance problem (like shared pool latch contention and excessive library cache evictions/reloads) then you'd want to monitor shared pool memory breakdown at the subheap level. And (finally) I can introduce a little script sgastatx.sql which queries X$KSMSS and formats the output for better readability. The script takes one parameter, what memory allocation reasons to report (% would report all): I will start with "total" which just reports me the shared pool totals and doesn't break down by allocation reason. SQL> @sgastatx total The bold part above is the total memory reserved for shared pool. The "0 - unused" is the not-yet-used-for-any-subheap part of the memory. And 1 & 2 are the allocations to subheap 1 and 2. By the way I can confirm these numbers by querying v$sgainfo: SQL> select from v$sgainfo; ….or V$SGA_DYNAMIC_COMPONENTS: SQL> select current_size from v$sga_dynamic_components where component = 'shared pool'; Continuing with the examples, usually I would be interested in seeing how much free memory each subpool has in it: SQL> @sgastatx "free memory" And when there's not enough free memory in some subpool then you can run sgastatx with % parameter to report all memory users in that subpool. I removed some lines from output for brevity:SQL> @sgastatx % Of course sometimes you'd want to know how the memory usage breakdown changes over time, for that you'd need to write a little collector script which dumps the data into some table and visualize it later on, like I have done for regular V$SGASTAT data with my PerfSheet tool Friday, April 3. 2009

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Oracle 11g: Reading alert log via SQL by Tanel Poder
Oracle has done some major improvements in the diagnosability infrastructure in version 11g. Here's one little detail.
Before Oracle 11g it is possible to access the alert log via SQL using an external table or a pipelined function which in turn uses utl_file. After reading the text you need to parse it to extract the information you need from there. Starting from 11g Oracle does all this work for you. There is a fixed table X$DBGALERTEXT, when you query it, Oracle reads the log.xml from alert directory (which contains all the data what alert.log does), parses it and returns the details back as rows: SQL> select message_text from X$DBGALERTEXT where rownum <= 20; MESSAGE_TEXT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting ORACLE instance (normal) LICENSE_MAX_SESSION = 0 LICENSE_SESSIONS_WARNING = 0 Shared memory segment for instance monitoring created Picked latch-free SCN scheme 2 Using LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_10 parameter default value as USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST Autotune of undo retention is turned on. IMODE=BR ILAT =18 LICENSE_MAX_USERS = 0 SYS auditing is disabled Starting up ORACLE RDBMS Version: 126.96.36.199.0. Using parameter settings in client-side pfile /u01/app/oracle/admin/LIN11G/pfile/init.ora on machine linux03 System parameters with non-default values: processes = 150 memory_target = 404M control_files = "/u01/oradata/LIN11G/control01.ctl" control_files = "/u01/oradata/LIN11G/control02.ctl" control_files = "/u01/oradata/LIN11G/control03.ctl" db_block_size = 8192 20 rows selected. This is the text representation, but you can get individual details from other columns as listed below: SQL> desc X$DBGALERTEXT Name Null? Type ------------------------------- -------- ---------------------------- 1 ADDR RAW(4) 2 INDX NUMBER 3 INST_ID NUMBER 4 ORIGINATING_TIMESTAMP TIMESTAMP(3) WITH TIME ZONE 5 NORMALIZED_TIMESTAMP TIMESTAMP(3) WITH TIME ZONE 6 ORGANIZATION_ID VARCHAR2(64) 7 COMPONENT_ID VARCHAR2(64) 8 HOST_ID VARCHAR2(64) 9 HOST_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(16) 10 MESSAGE_TYPE NUMBER 11 MESSAGE_LEVEL NUMBER 12 MESSAGE_ID VARCHAR2(64) 13 MESSAGE_GROUP VARCHAR2(64) 14 CLIENT_ID VARCHAR2(64) 15 MODULE_ID VARCHAR2(64) 16 PROCESS_ID VARCHAR2(32) 17 THREAD_ID VARCHAR2(64) 18 USER_ID VARCHAR2(64) 19 INSTANCE_ID VARCHAR2(64) 20 DETAILED_LOCATION VARCHAR2(160) 21 PROBLEM_KEY VARCHAR2(64) 22 UPSTREAM_COMP_ID VARCHAR2(100) 23 DOWNSTREAM_COMP_ID VARCHAR2(100) 24 EXECUTION_CONTEXT_ID VARCHAR2(100) 25 EXECUTION_CONTEXT_SEQUENCE NUMBER 26 ERROR_INSTANCE_ID NUMBER 27 ERROR_INSTANCE_SEQUENCE NUMBER 28 VERSION NUMBER 29 MESSAGE_TEXT VARCHAR2(2048) 30 MESSAGE_ARGUMENTS VARCHAR2(128) 31 SUPPLEMENTAL_ATTRIBUTES VARCHAR2(128) 32 SUPPLEMENTAL_DETAILS VARCHAR2(128) 33 PARTITION NUMBER 34 RECORD_ID NUMBER There's also a fixed table X$DBGDIREXT, which returns all file and directory names under [diagnostic_dest]/diag directory: SQL> select lpad(' ',lvl,' ')||logical_file file_name 2 from X$DBGDIREXT 3 where rownum <=20; FILE_NAME -------------------------------------------------------- asm lsnrctl diagtool rdbms lin11g lin11g ir recovery_history.ir incident incdir_33815 lin11g_ora_10330_i33815.trc lin11g_ora_10330_i33815.trm incdir_25347 lin11g_ora_32614_i25347.trc lin11g_ora_32614_i25347.trm incdir_25417 lin11g_ora_1225_i25417.trm lin11g_ora_1225_i25417.trc incdir_43459 lin11g_ora_9467_i43459.trm 20 rows selected. If you're building some custom alert log monitoring, then starting from 11g these x$ tables can help you. On the other hand, I would prefer to monitor logfiles using plain and simple scripts as accessing this X$ table requires the instance to be up and operational. The better use case I see is that if you don't have access to OS filesystem and nevertheless want to see alert log contents, that can be the easiest option in 11g… Thursday, November 6. 2008

You've missed the chance to take Robert Freeman's Advanced Backup and Recovery Using Oracle 10g RMAN (for now, anyway). The good news is, Robert will be teaching again, this time on a topic that folks are finally ready to sink their teeth into - Oracle Database 11g New Features. If you've been debating whether you should migrate to RDBMS 11g, take Robert's class and find out all the new features that make it worth the upgrade effort.
Robert will teach this class in Salt Lake City from February 23-27, and in Denver from March 2-5, so check out the training schedule and sign up before the classes fill! Students will receive a complimentary copy of Robert's book Oracle Database 11g New Features. Classes that Robert teaches include: Backup & Recovery Using Oracle 10g RMAN, Oracle 10gR2 DBA New Features, Oracle 10gR2 Database Administration I, and Oracle Database 11g New Features. Robert has a new book coming out! Check out OCP: Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional Study Guide You can pre-order it on Amazon for a reduced price. And while we're at it, here's some insight from Robert about what it's like to write a book. Since Robert has written 13 books, he ought to know! Writing books is a love hate affair for me. Sometimes I love the work, sometimes I hate the work. For 3-4 months it's deadline, schedule, write, deadline, write, deadline, etc... then, there are the edits. Every chapter you write goes to a technical editor and then a copy editor. These folks take your hard work and turn it on its ear. In the end, it makes a much better product, but it also tends to make authors sick (at least it does me sometimes). Once these daemons of the dark have done their work, you have to go back through, review their changes and questions and fix any mistakes. There is more to the process, but maybe I'll comment on later processes as we get on down the line. Book writing is an amazing process, and it's a wonder, but mistakes do still get though, sometimes big ones. Nothing makes me sicker than to pull a brand spanking new book out of the box, open it up and then find the first mistake. Ackkkkkk!!!! Then, there are the reviews. Oh man, maybe that's a whole different discussion too. Suffice to say, your first sweet review makes for a great day. The first sour review makes you swear you will never write another word. They can be painful. For those of you who think that those of us who write get rich off of the deal, please think again. I've written 13 books now (I think).... for the first 4 I didn't see any royalties. Yes, I did get some advances, but if you figure out how many hours you write and divide it by the advances... well, I just calculated it out and it comes to maybe 15 to 20 dollars an hour (and thats being very liberal with how much time I spend per chapter). I can tell you that if you have a popular book, you can make more than that, but you don't sell books in the millions like Steven King. Royalty checks are nice, but there is never any guarentee. So, why do I write? One, I like it. Two, I have to admit that the emails I get on a regular basis about my RMAN book in particualr are very motivating. I've had people tell me that my book pulled their database from certain death. That is very motivating. I also find it keeps me up on the latest and greatest. I think it's too easy to be complacent in our DBA jobs. Doing what we do, the normal way we do it. Well, the technology and the job is a-changin'... I want to be there as it does and be a part of it. Finally, lest you think writing is easy work, I can probably find a writing project for you if you are glutting for punishment and can write. You will hate me after six months probably. |
