The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the grizzly, the North American brown bear, or the silvertip bear, is one of many subspecies of the brown bear. It is typically found in upland areas of western North America. Its range once extended from Canada to Mexico and even into the western shores of the Hudson Bay in the east. Its range has been reduced to many areas of Canada, Alaska, and northwestern areas of the United States including Washington, Wyoming, Idaho, and...

2011 Fearless Predictions
Final Thoughts, Week
8, Part
By Matt Zemek
WEST VIRGINIA-SYRACUSE: Will Syracuse shut out West Virginia in the second half again? Is Bill Stewart still coaching the Mountaineers? Do the previous two questions merit opposite answers? Did that third question possess an answer which should have matched the answer to the first two questions? Did the fourth question possess an answer different from the proper (or anticipated) answer to the first three questions? You've finally figured it all out.
OKLAHOMA STATE-MISSOURI: This, not Bedlam, is Oklahoma State's biggest game of 2011. An 11-1 record with a loss to Oklahoma should still get the Cowboys to a BCS bowl. A 10-2 record won't. This is the ambush the Pokes must avoid.
NORTH CAROLINA-CLEMSON: If Clemson could avoid its historically bad juju against Maryland, it should be able to fend off the team that lost at home to Miami.
KANSAS STATE-KANSAS: Kansas State still hasn't been tested at an elite level, but does that take away at all from what Bill Snyder's doing in his second go-round with the Wildcats? Heck, no. Moreover, you know Snyder doesn't give a darn about other people's thoughts or feelings, anyway.
AUBURN-LSU: The suspensions won't matter. Not with Auburn's quarterback
situation in Tiger Stadium.
AIR FORCE-BOISE STATE: Chris Petersen continues to be a model college football citizen with his hospitality toward the Air Force Academy, but yeah, all y'all go on hating Boise State and everything it represents.
GEORGIA TECH-MIAMI: Hmmmm..... you think the running game will be important in this contest, Lamar Miller? Perry Jones certainly thinks so.
OREGON-COLORADO: The 2002 Fiesta Bowl wonders where the Buffaloes have roamed in recent years.
FRESNO STATE-NEVADA: Did you know this game is for undisputed possession of first place in the WAC?
PENN STATE-NORTHWESTERN: If Northwestern blows a halftime lead of at least 10 points to THIS Penn State offense, that will be more impressive than anything else the Wildcats have done this season.
TENNESSEE-ALABAMA: This should be a thermonuclear blowout, but remember the year 2009.
USC-NOTRE DAME: Right now, this rivalry fails to move the needle in college football. Pete Carroll and Charlie Weis briefly reignited this classic intersectional matchup. Under Lane Kiffin and Brian Kelly, it has lost its power to captivate. There will be other, better, more important games to watch in this time window on Saturday (and no, we're not talking about the World Series, either).
SMU-SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI: This is a sneaky good game - Conference USA is delivering the heavyweight matchups these days. The SMU-Central Florida game last week deserved far more attention than it received.
OREGON STATE-WASHINGTON STATE: If Washington State wants to win six games, it must pull through here.
WASHINGTON-STANFORD: Finally, Stanford gets tested... or at least, the Cardinal will face the prospect of a potential struggle. In week eight.
WISCONSIN-MICHIGAN STATE: Finally, Wisconsin gets tested... or at least, the Badgers will face the prospect of a potential struggle. In week eight.
Barrett Sallee
Follow me on Twitter:
- LSU's suspensions will not affect the outcome vs. Auburn. The Tigers from the Plains will hang around for a while, but the
atmosphere at Tiger Stadium will be too much for Clint Moseley in his first college start. Expect Auburn to have a drive late in the third or early in the fourth quarter where they can make a game of it; but this is Les Miles, and he gets all the breaks (even when he's left-of-center).
- Is this the week that Russell Mania comes to an end? Michigan State boasts the nation's second-best defense. The Badgers are giving 8.5 points on the road. That's too many. This one is ugly, and will come down to the final drive.
- Two seasons ago, a mediocre Tennessee team was one Mt. Cody blocked field goal away from derailing Alabama's dream season. Without quarterback Tyler Bray and wide receiver Justin Hunter, this Vols team doesn't stand much of a shot of repeating the feat. Tide rolls.
- Is this the week that Clemson remembers that it's Clemson and drops a game that it shouldn't? North Carolina is in turmoil, but the Heels have the talent. Look out, Tigers.
- Speaking of national title contenders, don't fall into the trap and think that Oklahoma State will fall to Missouri. Brandon Weeden, Justin Blackmon, and the high-octane Cowboys are every bit the contender as their state rivals in Norman. Missouri cools down, and Oklahoma State keeps livin' right.
- Maryland and Virginia showed how to beat Georgia Tech. Make Tevin Washington throw, and the Jackets will fall. Miami stays hot with a with a win in front of the home fans (yes, plural).

lifted from shawn's blog who lifted it from the reds....
"It goes: pitchers Matt Belisle, Bill Bray, Jared Burton, Todd Coffey, Rheal Cormier, Jon Coutlangus, Phil Dumatrait, Aaron Harang, Bobby Livingston, Kyle Lohse, Gary Majewski, Calvin Medlock, Eric Milton, Elizardo Ramirez, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Salmon, Brian Shackelford, and Mike Stanton.
No catchers.
Infield: Edwin Encarnacion, Jerry Gil, Alex Gonzalez, Jeff Keppinger, Joey Votto.
Outfield: Jeff Conine, Chris Denorfia, Chris Dickerson, Adam Dunn, Junior Griffey, Josh Hamilton, Norris Hopper."
I'm a bit shocked to see Ramirez on there. When he was sent down last year, did they manage to retroactivly claim is was injury rehab? The must have because that would have been his third season splitting time between the majors and minors. I was also fairly confident that Dumatrait has been on the 40 man roster in the minors for three years, but I've either been mistaken or some of that time must be considered injury rehab.
Of course the rule v guys are on there, but the reds can't send them down without either sending them back or offereing some other compensation.
It seems like Shackleford has been up and down forever, but it really has only been the last two years.
Anyway...it's an intersting list to start spring training with. The 25 man roster is far less jammed than I thought it was going to be.

Feeding the God of War. (The Right Perspective).
"The Aztecs ... were the chosen people of the sun," writes historian Alfonso Casos in The Aztecs: People of the Sun. "They were charged with the duty of supplying him with food. For that reason war was a form of worship and a necessary activity that led them to establish the Xochiyaoyotl, or 'flower war.' Its purpose, unlike that of wars of conquest, was not to gain new territories nor to exact tribute from conquered peoples, but rather to take prisoners for sacrifice to the sun."
Aztec rulers would approach leaders of other tribes and arrange for wars to be fought in which few warriors would be killed, but thousands of prisoners would be taken. Concealing themselves behind a barricade of flowers, the treacherous leaders would witness the consummation of their betrayal as their armies were taken away to serve as fodder for Aztec altars.
The Flower War was devised by an Aztec warlord-priest named Tlacaelel, who for decades was the power behind the Aztec throne. He was also the chief architect of the Aztec kingdom's foreign policy, in which the Aztecs allied with the city-states of Texcoco and Tlacopan against Tiaxcala, Cholula, and Huexotzinco. One historian notes that following the creation of this grand alliance, "the Aztecs carried out these highly ritualized campaigns against their neighbors, especially the Tlaxcalans. Curiously, they refrained from conquering Tlaxcala because it provided a training ground for young Aztec warriors and a source of sacrificial victims." In short, the entire scheme devised by Tlacaelel was intended to bring about a state of perpetual warfare, with the Aztecs either preparing for war or fighting wars against enemies they would never entirely destroy.
Assuming that our own Power Elite pursues a variation of the Flower War strategy would explain a great many things. For instance: Why was our nation led into no-win wars in Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf? Why do our rulers persist in creating enemies and then wage inconclusive wars against them? Could it be that our own rulers, like those of the Aztec empire, seek to perpetuate war, rather than resorting to it reluctantly in the cause of national self-defense?
Some might object that while such conduct might be expected of superstitious, primitive people like the Aztecs, it is alien to the outlook of our own sophisticated political class. But while the Aztecs were indeed superstitious pagans, they were far from primitive, excelling at architecture, astronomy, and mathematics. They regarded the abominable practices of human sacrifice and cannibalism as practical necessities. Similarly, our own Power Elite considers perpetual war to be a practical necessity, as it supplies the fodder upon which its War God feeds: Debt.
In The Creature From Jekyll Island, the definitive study of the Federal Reserve System, G. Edward Griffin points out that a fiat money system such as ours is based entirely on debt. Absent debt, this paper money would effectively disappear. Federal Reserve Governor Marriner Eccles made this point explicitly in congressional testimony in 1941: "If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn't be any money." Charging interest on such debt has proven to be a singularly lucrative enterprise for those belonging to the Federal Reserve's banking cartel.
Nations, like individuals, are devoured by the banking cartel when they are driven into debt. This is the value of creating monsters like Saddam Hussein, whose military machine was generously underwritten with debt financed foreign aid subsidies from the U.S. government. Writes Griffin: "If an enemy does not exist at all, it will be necessary to create one by financing the rise of a hostile regime." It is also useful to ensure that neither side emerges as the unambiguous victor.
Griffin calls this framework for perpetual war the "Rothschild Formula," named after the banking dynasty that became notorious for underwriting both sides in various 19th-century wars. The political elitists who follow that formula, Griffin observes, display "cold objectivity, immunity to patriotism, and indifference to the human condition ... [in propelling] governments into war for the profits they yield.... As long as the mechanism of central banking exists, it will be to such men an irresistible temptation to convert debt into perpetual war and war into perpetual debt." In our parallel with the Aztecs, the banking cartel plays a role akin to that of the Aztec priests who supplied Huitzilopochtli with a steady diet of human victims.
Confronting the prospect of a pointless resumption of the UN-mandated war with Iraq, and an open-ended "war on terrorism," Americans must understand that these conflicts are fundamentally no different from the "Flower Wars" of Aztec antiquity: Ritualized bloodshed through which an embedded ruling elite retains its hold on power.

On today's Reel Rebel Stephen Schweickart of VScreen.com gives some simple video editing advice on one way (using a 'cut') to ensure your transitions don't make your video look like you are at amateur status or more closely resemble a Power Point Presentation then a professional, classy video.
There are a lot of stock transition animations out there that can be used for video, however while they are easy to use and look fun, in the end they often make your video look cheesy and highly distracting.
In most cases a simple cut is all you need to transition from one clip to the next. This will give your video a clean and professional look and this can be done in three easy steps.
How to Create a Basic 'Cut' to Transition Between Clips
- Select the clip from the bin.
- Use the handles on either side of the clip and trim it to the desired length.
- Drop the clip in the timeline and drag it up to the previous clip to ensure there is no gap in between.
- And that's it.
Again, a cut is the most basic transition you can do in video editing but it's the quickest, cleanest, and smoothest way to transition from one clip to another and it helps sometimes to avoid those more flashy transitions that can distract the viewer from what's most important in your video.
Stay tuned for more video editing tips and and advanced video editing series to come.
Question: What's your favorite video transition/swipe to use for patching together interview footage?

The single burner switches were exactly the same as the old switches, and only took 10-15 minutes to replace two of them, including the time to remove the twelve sheet metal screws holding the glass top in place. The dual burner switch, however, was a totally different switch, and none of the wire colors matched any of the instructions. One set of instructions said there was no need to separate the paired red wires, while the instructions with the switch said they must be separated...ignoring the color code, and going by terminal numbers only, the first set of instructions led to the point of separating the paired red wires and attaching a female connector (which was not included in the package)to the red wire from the burner assembly and connecting that wire to the #2 terminal on the new switch. When the remaing red wire was attached to P2, there was barely enough slack in the wire to install the switch in it's proper orientation. All of this required numerous trips to the circuit breaker panel to test the connection. One of the jumper wires had a female connector which didn't fit any of the terminals on the burners or the switch. The instructions with the switch could very well confuse even a licensed electrician, as none of the burner connections are labeled.

Friday Philisophy – To Manage or to Not Manage March 26, 2010Posted by mwidlake in Friday Philosophy, Management, Uncategorized.
Tags: Management, rant
6 comments
Recently a friend of mine Graham Oaks blogged about his decision to step back from management and return to the Technical Coal Face.
I made a similar decision 3 or 4 years back, so I have a lot of empathy for his position and his decision. I found that to do the job of a manager takes up a lot more time, effort, patience and emotional effort than I had realised. Team leading is bad enough, having to coordinate the efforts of a half dozen people and sorting out the myriad issued they throw your way. Being in charge of multiple teams, responsible for strategy, dealing with staff development and moral, being a buffer against HR and having to deal with the politics created by people who WANT to be managers and wield power is more than a full-time job. Trying to hold onto a technical element as well, I found I could only manage it by doing the technical job as a "hobby", in my own time. It was just too much to keep going year after year.
I had to chose. Give up the technical to give me enough personal resource to remain a manager and get better at it, or stop being a manager and start re-gaining my technical skills. I chose the latter.
Since I made my decision 3 years ago, I have met several people who have made the same conscious decision to step away from management and return to a more technical role. You may stand to earn more as a manager {which is something I objected to before being a manager and I still object to having been one – it should be possible to earn the same doing either} but for some of us it is not enough to make losing the hands-on work a sacrifice worth making.
One of the points Graham makes in his blog is that his spell as a manager has given him an appreciation of the challenges of management and the particular hells and stresses of the role. I think this is something that people who have never been managers have trouble really understanding.
I was working with a guy a couple of years ago and he was telling me how much of "a Moron" his boss was. In fact, he felt his current boss was even more of a moron than his previous boss. He then confessed that all of his bosses had been morons. "What, every single one of them?" I asked. Yes, absolutely all of them. That struck me as incredibly unfortunate, that every single one of these managers (and he'd had a lot as he moved between teams and positions on a regular basis), most of whom had come up through the technical ranks, were all Morons. I pointed out this unfortunate coincidence and wondered if there might actually be a common factor with all of these managers. He told me there was; They were all Morons.
He himself had never been a manager. He said he was too smart. Not smart enough to get what I was hinting at with the common factor suggestion though.
Obviously, some managers are poor at what they do; there are poor people in every job. But something I took away from my time being a manager is a lack of empathy for anyone saying all managers are a waste of time when they have never done the job themselves.
After all, I doubt there is any job where just doing it means you are an idiot.
Except Sys Admins – They are all idiots :-) (ducks behind server).
Command Line or GUI – Which is Best? February 18, 2010Posted by mwidlake in performance.
Tags: perception, performance, rant
15 comments
At present I am suffering ever so slightly from "split personality disorder"* in respect of my liking for Command Line and GUI interfaces.
On the one hand, much to my colleagues mild reproach, I use SQL*PLus and not PL/SQL Developer for my day-to-day work. Even worse, I got sick of using notepad to hack around scripts {I am working in a windows client environment and you simply can't use MS Word with SQL files!} so I have retrograded recently and downloaded a windows-complient 'vi' interface and it is soooooo nice to be able to use powerful 'vi' commands on my files once more. ":.,$s/^ /,/". Ahhh, it is so much easier. I can do stuff in 3 seconds in 'vi' that would take me 10 minutes in Notepad in a large, complex file. That and, I'm sorry, but notepad seems to be unable to manage a 100MB file, despite me having 2GB of real memory and a decent machine, but 'vi' has no problem with it at all.
Even more retrograde, I have direct telnet access to my linux servers and I am getting back to that as it makes me so much more productive. "ls -alrt ^d" for all directories anyone? "df -k ." to see how many data files I can add? Yep, it's all arcane and means so little to many modern IT "Java/Struts/CDE" people but boy it is direct and fast. I might even dig out that book on SED and AWK.
On the other hand, I have finally (after much very painful discussions back and forth) got agreement that my site probably has access to AWR, ASH and all that good performance repository stuff. So I am hacking around with the OEM screens that focus on performance and snapshots and stuff. Now, I am traditionally not a big fan of GUI DBA tools. Partly it is because I am a bit old and stuck in my ways and partly it is because GUIs are really just "menus of options". You are limited to what options are available in your DBA GUI tool and you have a harder time learning all the options available or what is really going on "under the covers".
But with AWR and all those graphs, links and utilities, you can drill down into real problems real time or in the past so effectively that, well, once they start using this tool properly they will not need me at all. It is a fantastic boon to performance management and problem resolution, as well as proactive performance management.
So there you are, I am with Doug Burns on this one, in that I have Learned to Love Pictures. When the Pictures are well thought out and well connected and simple enough to help make sense of a complex system {and Oh Boy Oracle performance has become sooo Complex!!!!}
So right now, I spend half my day in vi/linux/command line world and half of it in pretty picture/GUI world. I think what really makes me happy is to leave behind the half-way-house of text-like Windows World {Windows SQL*Plus, Notepad}.
Just to finish, you can't mention AWR without someone raising the ugly issue of licence cost and how Evil Oracle Corp were to charge for it. Well, I think it has been established that the guys and gals who developed AWR/ASH did not expect it to become a cost option but it did. And I suspect that what kept it a cost option was the community's OutRage at it being a cost option. Anything that popular, hey, a commercial company is going to charge for. I still reckon Oracle Corp ballsed up as making it free and helping people use it a bit would have made 90% of customers' lives easier and would have translated into user happiness and a certain % of sales for training courses to learn more, but heck my day job is to make things work, not maintain sales percentages, so my opinion counts for nowt. *sigh*
(*apologies to real sufferers of Dissociative Identity Disorder, I am using the term in the loose, non-scientific, "common usage" term of "not sure of my opinion" rather than having truly disparate personalities and memories.** And note, I certainly do not mean schizophrenia which, despite the on-going public-opinion misunderstanding, is rarely anything to do with multiple personality disorders or "spit minds" AT ALL, and is more to do with a difficulty in determining between reality and hallucination. ).

I got the below email from a friend this evening. Said friend does not work in IT. He works in a large organisation with a large and active IT department that might just be forgetting they provide a service as opposed to laying down the law…
Hi Martin
For the last few weeks since {an edited out software virus disaster} we have been bombarded with unsolicited security policies from I.T. They pop up during the 10-15 minutes it takes to logon to our computers. You then have to download the policy and sign at the bottom to say whether you accept or decline the policy. When I scanned through the 10th policy I was struck by the fact that none of it applied to my area of responsibility except for one small part that had been covered in excruciating detail in one of their previous pathetic attempts at communicating what is expected of us. And all said missives using what looks like a variation of the english language. Having skipped the policy during a number of recent logons I was now being informed that it is "mandatory" to accept the policy or decline it giving a reason. I declined giving the above observation on the lack of relevance to my role as a reason.
I have now been informed that it is not possible to issue only the relevant policies to individuals (and presumably having identified this is not possible, have not bothered trying in the first place?) and in any case there might come a time when I "might" be given a task where the latest I.T policy applies and therefore I have to be aware of the existance of the policy. I think this latest one was something to do with purchasing software packages from suppliers -although this isn't entirely clear. There is no way that I would be allowed to purchase software packages, which is a shame as there are off the shelf products that do what we require, whereas the in-house system foisted upon us simply does not provide any reliable or useful information what-so-ever.
The following senario occurs to me. I write a policy on controlling legionella – not unreasonable given that we have swimming pools, showers, air con etc. in our premises. I then send a copy to every employee requiring them to open it — expect them to read it —- understand it —- and accept it, "just-in-case" they get asked to go and run a sports centre. What response do think I would get?
Although the risk of catching legionella is low, people have died as a result, but we do not require everyone to sign a policy for this or any of the other more serious hazards they face at work. I am not aware of any software-purchasing-related deaths of late. For dangerous stuff employees sign one policy when they join the organisation. If they have to deal with a hazard we make them aware by warning them about it and if necessary give them additional training, guidance and support so that they can manage the risk in accordance with the overall policy.
Perhaps we have got this wrong. Maybe we should require all computer users (just for example) to complete a workstation assessment online every day when they start work – and if they don't their computer should blow up in their face and a guilotine then drop from the ceiling removing their hands so they can't sue for RSI or eyestrain.
That'll teach them
I hope I have never been responsible for inflicting enough inconvenienve on my users to make them as aggrieved and angry as my friend.. Thing is, I now worry that I might have…
Buffer Cache Hit Ratio – my "guilty" Confession November 1, 2009Posted by mwidlake in Perceptions, performance.
Tags: knowledge, performance, rant
14 comments
My Friday Philosophy this week was on Rules of Thumb on buffer gets per row returned.
Piet de Visser responded with a nice posting of his own, confessing to using ratios to help tuning {We seem to be playing some sort of blog-comment tag team game at the moment}.
Well, I have a confession so "guilty" or "dirty" that I feel I cannot inflict it on someone else's blog as a comment.
I use the Buffer Cache Hit Ratio.
And the Library Cache Hit Ratio and the other Ratios.
As has been blogged and forum'd extensively, using these ratios is bad and stupid and anyone doing so does not know what they are doing as they do not help you solve performance problems. I mean, hell, you can download Connor McDonald's/Jonathan Lewis's script to set it to what you want so it must be rubbish {go to the link and chose "tuning" and pick "Custom Hit Ratio" – it's a rather neat little script}.
The point I am trying to make is that once the Buffer Cache Hit Ratio (BCHR) was wrongly elevated to the level of being regarded as a vital piece of key information but the reaction against this silly situation has been that it is now viewed by many (I feel) as the worst piece of misleading rubbish. Again a silly situation.
I think of the BCHR as similar to a heart rate. Is a heart rate of 120 good or bad? It's bad if it is an adult's resting heart rate, but pretty good if it is a kitten's resting heart rate. It's also probably pretty good if it is your heart rate as you walk briskly. Like the BCHR it can be fudged. I can go for a run to get mine higher, I can drain a couple of pints of my blood from my body and it will go up {I reserve the right not to prove that last one}. I can go to sleep and it will drop. Comparing my resting heart rate to yours (so like comparing BCHRs between systems) is pretty pointless, as I am a different size, age and metabolism to you {probably} but looking at mine over a year of dieting and exercising is very useful. If only I could keep up dieting and exercising for a year…
So what do I think the much-maligned Buffer Cache Hit Ratio gives me? It gives me what percentage of sql access, across the whole database activity, is satisfied from memory as opposed to disc. Or, put another way, the percentage of occurences a block has to be got from the I/O subsystem. Not how many blocks are read from storage or memory though, but you can get that information easily enough. As Physical IO is several orders of magnitude slower than memory access {ignoring I/O caches I should add} , it gives me an immediate feel for where I can and can't look for things to improve.
If I am looking at a system that is overall very slow (eg high process wait queues under l/unix, the client has said the system is generally slow) and I see that the BCHR is low, say below 90%, this tells me I probably can get some performance increase by reducing physical access. I'll go and look for those statements with the highest physical IO and the hottest tablespaces/objects in the DB.
If the BCHR is already up at the 99% level, I need to look at other things, such as tuning sort, looking at removing activity in the database, to be very mindful of nested loop access where maybe it is not the best access method (very likely due to old stats on tables).
When I have got to know a system and what it's BCHR generally sits at, a sudden change, especially a drop, means there is some unusual physical IO going on. If the phones start going and someone is complaining "it's all slow", the BCHR is one of the first things to look at – especially as it is available from so many places.
Another thing the BCHR gives me is, if I am looking at a given SQL statement or part of an application, it's specific BCHR can be compared to the system BCHR. this does not help me tune the statement itself, but I know if it's specific BCHR is low then it has unusually high IO demands compared to the rest of the system. Further, Reducing it might help the whole system, so I might want to keep an eye on overall system throughput. If I reduce the statement's execution time by 75% and the whole system IO by 1%, the client is likely to be more happy, especially if that 1% equates to other programs running a little faster "for free".
So, I don't use the BCHR to tune individual statements but I feel confident using it to track the general health of my database, so long as I am mindful of the impact of new functionality or upgrades. It's a rule of thumb. It's a database heart rate. (and so is redo generation and half a dozen other things).
A Tale of Two Meetings – 11GR2 and MI SIG October 5, 2009Posted by mwidlake in Meeting notes, Perceptions.
Tags: knowledge, Meeting, rant
7 comments
Last week I attended two Oracle events, each very different from the other.
The first was an Oracle Corp event, giving details of the new 11GR2 release and what it was introducing. It was in a nice hotel in London with maybe 250, 300 attendees and all quite swish.
The other was a UK Oracle User Group meeting, the last Management and Infrastructure SIG for 2009. 30 people in the Oracle City office and far more unassuming {And note, as I chair the MI SIG, anything I say about the day is liable to bias…}.
Both events were useful to attend and I learnt things at both, but I also found the difference between the two quite interesting.
Oracle 11G Release 2
The official Oracle 11GR2 presentation was where you went for the definitive information on what Oracle Corp feel are the new features of 11G R2 that are of interest (though some of it was not R2-specific but general 11G).
Chris Baker started off by telling us "there has never been a better time" to move to the latest technology or a greater need to gain business advantage through using said latest technology. You know, it would be really nice, just once, to go to such a corporate event and not be given this same thread of pointless posturing? I know it is probably just me being old and grumpy and contrary, but after 20 years in the business I am sick to the hind teeth of Keynotes or Announcements that say the same empty "Raa-Raa" stuff as the previous 19 years – the need "now" to get the best out of your technology has been the same need since the first computers were sold to businesses, so give it a rest. Just tell us about the damned technology, we are smart enough to make our own decision as to whether it is a big enough improvement to warrant the investment in time and effort to take on. If we are not smart enough to know this, we will probably not be in business too long.
Sorry, I had not realised how much the Corporate Fluff about constantly claiming "Now is the time", "Now things are critical" gets to me these days. Anyway, after that there were some good overviews of the latest bits of technology and following form them some dedicated sessions in two streams on specific areas, split between semi-technical and management-oriented talks, which was nice.
There was plenty of talk about the Oracle Database Machine, which appears to be exadata version 2 and sits on top of Sun hardware, which is no surprise given the latest Oracle Acquisition. I have to say, it looks good, all the hardware components have taken a step up (so now 40Gb infiniband interconnect, more powerful processors, even more memory), plus a great chunk of memory as Sun's "FlashFire" technology to help cache data and thus help OLTP work. More importantly, you can get a 1/4 machine now, which will probably make it of interest to more sites with less money to splash out on a dedicated Oracle system. I'll save further details for another post, as this is getting too long.
The other interesting thing about the new Oracle Database Machine was the striking absence of the two letters 'P' and 'H'. HP was not mentioned once. I cannot but wonder how those who bought into the original exadata on HP hardware feel about their investment, given that V2 seems only available on Sun kit. If you wanted the latest V2 featries such as the much-touted two-level disc compression is Oracle porting that over to the older HP systems, are Oracle offering a mighty nice deal to upgrade to the Sun systems or are there some customers with the HP kit currently sticking needles into a clay model of top Oracle personnel?
The other new feature I'll mention is RAT – Real Application Testing. You can google for the details but, in a nutshell, you can record the activity on the live database and play it back against an 11g copy of the database. The target needs to be logically identical to the source {so same tables, data, users etc} but you can alter initialisation parameters, physical implementation, patch set, OS, RAC… RAT will tell you what will change.
For me as a tuning/architecture guy this is very, very interesting. I might want to see the impact of implementing a system-wide change but currently this would involve either only partial testing and releasing on a wing and a prayer or a full regression test on an expensive and invariably over-utilised full test stack , which often does not exist. There was no dedicated talk on it though, it was mentioned in parts of more general "all the great new stuff" presentations.
Management and Infrastructure SIG
RAT leads me on to the MI SIG meeting. We had a talk on RAT by Chris Jones from Oracle, which made it clearer that there are two elements to Real Application testing. One is the Database Replay and the other is SQL Performance Analyzer, SPA. Check out this oracle datasheet for details.
SPA captures the SQL from a source system but then simply replays the SELECT only statements, one by one, against a target database. The idea is that you can detect plan changes or performance variations in just the Select SQL. Obviously, if the SELECTS are against data created by other statements that are not replayed then the figures will be different, but I can see this being of use in regression testing and giving some level of assurance. SPA has another advantage in that it can be run against a 10g database, as opposed to RAT which can only be run against 11 (though captured from a terminal 10g or 9i system – that is a new trick).
There are no plans at all to backport RAT to 10, it just ain't gonna happen guys.
The SIG also had an excellent presentation on GRID for large sites (that is, many oracle instances) and how to manage it all. The presentation was as a result of requests for a talk on this topic by people who come to this SIG and Oracle {in the form of Andrew Bulloch} were good enough to oblige.
The two Oracle Corp talks were balanced by technical talks by James Ball and Doug Burns, on flexible GRID architectures and using OEM/ASH/AWR respectively. These were User presentations, mentioning warts as well as Wins. Not that many Warts though, some issues with licence daftness was about it as the technology had been found to work and do it's job well. Both talks were excellent.
The fifth talk was actually an open-forum discussion, on Hiring Staff, chaired by Gordon Brown {No, not THAT Gordon Brown, as Gordon points out}. Many people joined in and shared opinions on or methods used in getting new technical staff. I found it useful, as I think did many. These open sessions are not to everyone's taste and they can go wrong, but Gordon kept it flowing and all went very well.
The difference between the two meetings was striking. Both had strong support from Oracle {which I really appreciate}. Both included talks about the latest technology. However, the smaller, less swish event gave more information and better access to ask questions and get honest answers. There was also almost no Fluff at the SIG, it was all information or discussion, no "Raa-Raa". But then, the lunch was very nice and there were free drinks after the Corporate event {we shared rounds at a local pub after the SIG event – maybe one round too much}.
I guess I am saying that whilst I appreciate the Big Corporate event, I get a lot more out of the smaller, user group event. Less fluff, more info. Thankfully, Oracle support both, so I am not complaining {except about the "there has never been a better time" bit, I really AM sick of that :-( ).
So if you don't support your local Oracle user group, I'd suggest you consider doing so. And if, like so many sites seem to, you have membership but don't go along to the smaller events, heck get down there! There is some of the best stuff at these SIG meetings.
Friday Philosophy – Cats and Dogs October 2, 2009Posted by mwidlake in Perceptions.
Tags: behaviour, rant, zoology
2 comments
I like cats. Cats are great. I don't like dogs. I've been attacked by a nasty bitie dog and that is my reason. And dogs growl at you. And woof.
This is of course unfair, I have been bitten by cats lots more than dogs (seeing as I own cats and have never owned a dog, this is to be expected), cats scratch, cats hiss at you and yowl and they have been known to leave "presents" in my slippers.
My animal preference comes down to personal, even personality, reasons as opposed to logic. A dog needs attention, a walk twice a day, they follow you around and always want attention and tend to be unquestioning in their affection. Cats can often take you or leave you, will come when called only if they had already decide to come over and the issue of who owns who is certainly not clear. If you do not keep your cat happy, there is always Mrs Willams down the road who Tiddles can up and go and live with instead.
These same illogical preferences riddle IT I think. People make decisions for what I sometimes term "religious" reasons. As an example, I've worked with a lot of people who either are strongly for or against Open Source. There are logical and business reasons for and against Open Source, but it seems to me that many people have decided which they prefer for personal reasons {often, Open Source people tend towards anti-establishement and anti-corporation views, Open Source detractors tend towards supporting business and personal wealth}. They then will argue their corner with the various pros and cons but you know there is no swaying their opinion as it was not derived from logic.
In the same way I will not stop preferring cats to dogs. And I know I personally have a couple of Religious decisions about IT that are not based on cold logic {And I am not changing them, OK!}.
I think it helps to realise that people do make decisions this way (some make most of them this way, most make some decisions this way) and it's not worth getting that angry or annoyed when someone seems to be intractable in their stance against your ideas. After all, you might have made a "religious" decision which side you are on and they can't understand why you don't agree with them :-)
opinions formed in this manner are difficult to change. They can and do change, but usually only over time and in a gradual way, certainly not from someone saying to them they are an idiot for preferring Sybase to Ingress and verbally berating them with various arguments for and against.
So, if it is only a work thing {and heck, computers and software really are not that important} be passionate, but try and be a little flexible too.
This post was, of course, just a shallow excuse to include a link to a Cat thing – my favorite cat animation. Sorry Dog lovers {It's your own faulty for liking nasty, smelly dogs}.
Testing is Not Just for Code. September 16, 2009Posted by mwidlake in Architecture, VLDB.

Someone I am currently working with has a wonderful tag line in her emails:
Next time we want to release untested, why don't we just release undeveloped?
Testing is not limited to testing code of course. I have recently posted about how a backup is not a backup until you have tested it with a practice recovery. How you think the database will work by looking at the data dictionary is just a nice theory until you run some actual tests to see how the database responds, as I have been doing with Histograms lately. Sadly, you could even say an Oracle feature is not an Oracle feature until you have tested it.
In my experience, this is particularly true when you test the edges of Oracle, when you are working on VLDBs {Very Large DataBases}.
Last month Jonathan Lewis posted about a 2TB ASM disc size bug, where if you allocated a disc over 2TB to ASM, it would fill it up, wrap around and write over the begining of the file. This week I heard from some past colleagues of mine that they hit this very same bug.
With these very same colleagues we hit a big in 10.1 where you could not back up a tablespace over 8TB in size with RMAN {I can't give you a bug number for it as we were working with HP/Oracle direct at the time and they "handled it internally", But when I mentioned it to him, Jonathan found a similar one, bug 5448714 , which stated a 4TB limit on backups. It could be the same bug}.
Yet another VLDB issue was we wanted to move just under one thousand tablespaces from one database to another {again, 10.1}, using transportable tablespaces. We tried to use the utility for checking you are working on a consistent set of tablespaces, but it could not cope with that many. But to plug them into the new tablespace you have to export the metadata and we found a 4000 character limit on the variable stating the tablespaces to transport. That's 2.3 characters per tablespace, as you need comas to delimit them…Yes, you could manage if you renamed all tablespaces to AA, AB, AC…BA.,BB, BC etc. If memory servers, the problem was with data pump export and we reverted to old style export which did not have the problem.
Another limit I've blogged on is that the automated stats job chokes on very large objects.
Some Data dictionary views can become very slow if you have several tens of thousands of tables/extents/tablespace/indexes
I can appreciate the issues and problems Oracle has with testing their code base, it is vast and people use the software in odd ways and it has to run on many platforms. You might also feel I am being picky by saying Oracle breaks a little when you have 8TB tablespaces or a thousand tablespaces. But
- Oracle will say in big, glossy presentations, you can build Petabyte and Exabyte databases with Oracle {and have a product called Exadata, don't forget}.
- More and more customers are reaching these sizes as data continues to grow, for many site, faster than mores law.
- Some of these limits appear with databases well below a Petabyte (say a tiddly small 50TB one :-) ).
I've been running into these issues with VLDBs since Oracle 7 and they are often with pretty fundamental parts of the system, like creating and backing up tablespaces! I think it is poor show that it is so obvious that Oracle has been weak in testing with VLDB-sized database before release.
I wonder whether, with 11gR2, Oracle actually tested some petabyte data sizes to see if it all works? After all, as is often said, disk is cheap now, I'm sure they could knock one up quite quickly…
Friday Philosophy – What ever happened to System Design? September 14, 2009Posted by mwidlake in Architecture, performance.

{OK, so it is not Friday, I've got a lot on, OK?! Shesh…}
I'm a Contractor/Consultant. As a Contractor I am expected to arrive On Site and within a week be making progress. As a Consultant the week becomes a day.
That's fine, it's the territory. However, there is a question I always ask and I know other people ask it when they arrive on site:-
"Can I please have a look at the database design".
We normally mean an Entertity Relationship diagram or at least a schema design by this. The usual answer these days?
" We keep meaning to do one, but it never seems to quite get done – here are some misleading and poor notes on a few of the the schemas, if you get an ER diagram together, we would love to see it".
Why does no one do an ER diagram these days and why is there never a picture of the tables and relationships that you can look at for a system? Despite the fact that anyone new to the system hopes one will exist? What Happened to the skill of logical design?!
When did the ethos of having an overall schema layout just go out of the window??? And how in hell do You (yes, You, the system owner) expect to have a clue about the overall system without one?
Oh, and what is that I hear? You want me to improve the performance of your system without having a description of said system!? You have no clue of the overall database design but you want it to run faster?!? I better set the hidden "_RUN_DATABASE_FASTER" parameter to TRUE immediately then.
Is this just me or WHAT?
Another Day, Another Obscure Oracle Error September 11, 2009Posted by mwidlake in internals, performance.

I seem to be spending my life hitting odd bugs or errors in Oracle's performance-related areas at the moment. I guess part of it is because I am using features not widely touched, part is I'm not working as the SYS or SYSTEM user {in my experience a lot of people working on such things do it when connected as sysdba or at least as SYSTEM} and part is that Larry Ellisson personally hates me {he fills in for God when it comes to Oracle}.
I'm seeing this a lot today,and it seems virtually unknown:-
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20003: Unable to gather system statistics
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 15882
ORA-06512: at line 1
I'm also seeing this, but this error is documented:-
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20000: Unable to gather system statistics : insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 15822
ORA-06512: at line 1
The rest of this post will explain my path to only partial enlightenment. If you have hit the above errors and found this page via Google, this might help you out and you might like to skip towards the end.
If you just read my blog, regard this as a very long "tweet" or whatever the hell they are. Again, feel free to skip to the end. Or just skip.
The task I'm doing which is causing me to hit these issues is that I'm trying to assure myself of the ability to role back gathering system statistics before getting the DBA team to do it on a production system. {I am not in the DBA team on this one}.
No system statistics have been gathered yet so I have the default set, I'm sure many of you will recognise them:
I decided to pull the current system statistics into a statistics table:-
exec dbms_stats.create_stat_table('DWPERF','AD_BF_STATS','DW_COMMON_MG')
10 4096 1567.79852
Two records created, first is the header record about what this statid is all about, the second contains the stored info. I've highlighted the relevant records.
All well and good, I can save my stats. Why do I want to? Because we may gather system statistics on an infrequent but regular basis, and I want a record of them. The automtically stored history only goes back a month {by default}.
Of course, there is no need for me to explicitly export the stats to the table, it can be done as part of the gathering process, by stating the statistics table, owner and an ID when I do the gather, so I did:-
exec dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'INTERVAL',interval => 15,stattab=> '
AD_BF_STATS',statown=> 'DWPERF' ,statid=>'SYSSTAT'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYMMDDHH24MI'))
I went off for a cup of coffee, came back, checked my system stats.
Oh. No change. No system stats gathered. Damn.
Well, it's a test box, there may be too little worload to detect anything – like none! I checked the SGA for recent code and the only SQL was that for recording the stats gathering :-).
So, repeated with me running some workload in another window for 15 minutes.
Still no change, still no system stats. Double Damn!
I remembered from reading around that if MREADTIME is less than SREADTIME the stats gathered could be ignored so I tried again.
And again.
And then decided it would not magically work, there was a problem.
I'll gather the system stats with START and STOP and really hammer the box for a while, ensuring with autotrace
exec dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'START',stattab=>'AD_BF_STATS',statown
=> 'DWPERF' ,statid=>'SYSSTAT'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYMMDDHH24MI'))
exec dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'STOP');
BEGIN dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'STOP'); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20003: Unable to gather system statistics
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 15882
ORA-06512: at line 1
Oh Hell. Well, at least I now know that the chances are my interval systenm stats collection failed with this, but silently.
I bet if I dug around I would find a few failed jobs recorded where the INTERVAL version of the stats collection failed with this. I have not checked, I am just up to my eyes right now.
I found nothing at all via Google or Metalink about this exact error for gathering system stats. BUT maybe I lacked the correct priveleges on my non-SYS account. So I granted ANALYZE AND DICTIONARY and ANALYZE ANY to my user, as those or the priveleges mentioned for many of the DBMS_STATS management procedures.
Nope, did not help.
Blow it, If DBMS_STATS won't let me keep the stats in my table, I'll just rely on the default store of them, and not state my stats table in the call:
DWD2_DWPERF> exec dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'START')
BEGIN dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'START'); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20000: Unable to gather system statistics : insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 15822
ORA-06512: at line 1
Oh. Well, that's interesting.
If I don't state a stats table the gather fails when initiated.
If I state a stats table the gather fails when I stop.
How frustrating.
I decided to give up. Then I decided I won't be beaten and to grant myself DBA role and see if it works.
DWDEV2> exec dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'START')
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
But will it now error when I stop the gather…
DWDEV2> exec dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'STOP')
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Deep Joy.
And it gathered stats.
{ignore the lack of mreadtime and sreadtime, nothing happend on the box in the few seconds I was collecting for}
SO, the lack of DBA role was a problem but had been hidden by my attempts to use a stats table. Now surely I can do what I wanted to and store the stats in my stats table…
exec dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'START',stattab=>'AD_BF_STATS',statown
=> 'DWPERF' ,statid=>'SYSSTAT'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYMMDDHH24MI'))
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
exec dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'STOP')
BEGIN dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'STOP'); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20003: Unable to gather system statistics
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 15882
ORA-06512: at line 1
Let's check back.
exec dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'START')
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
exec dbms_stats.gather_system_stats(gathering_mode => 'STOP')
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
That works, because I am not involving a stats table. If you look back at the two errors, they come from different (but very similar) line numbers. I'd missed that for a couple of hours, I blame dyslexia.
Gathering and storing System Stats is as buggy and random as the rest of the dbms_stats functionality. {yes, I am peeved about this}. It Seems..
- If you gather system stats with the interval method, it can silently fail. This might only be if you involve a stats table.
- You need the DBA role to gather system stats, otherwise you get ORA-20000, via ORA-06512 at line 15822
- analyze and dictionary and analyze any are not enough to allow a non DBA account to gather system stats.
- If you try and store the previous system stats in your stats table as part of the gather you get ORA-20003, via ORA-06512 at line 15882 {different line}, even if you have DBA role.
- If you just rely on Oracle preserving the previous version of the stats, you can gather system stats fine.
- You can work around the issue by exporting the system stats to your stats table as a single step first, then gathering system stats without involving your stats table.
There is no metalink for the ORA-20003 via line 15882 in metalink and no google hit for it, so I reckon it is a damned rare event. And since the last time I blogged about a damned rare error, I see 1 or 2 hits on that blog page every day since :-).
When a Backup is Not a Backup September 8, 2009Posted by mwidlake in Architecture.
Tags: rant, system development
13 comments
I had a call from an old client today who had found themselves in a bit of a pickle. They were facing what I'd judge is the third most common "avoidable disaster" for Oracle databases. And probably the most devastating.
They had a damaged database, just one of those things. Media failure had corrupted a couple of datafiles. This is notthe disaster, most DBAs who have been around for a few years have experienced this. Disks are mechanical devices, they go wrong, controllers develop faults, people accidentally pull the plugs out of switches.
The disaster was that they had never tested their backup. Guess what? It turned out that their backup was not be a valid backup. It was just a bunch of data on tape {or disk or wherever they had put the backup}.
A backup is not a backup until you have proven you can recover from it.
If your backup has not been tested, and by that I mean used to recreate the working system which you then test, then it is just a bunch of data and a hopeful wish. You will not know if it works until you are forced to resort to it, and that means (a) you already have a broken system and an impact on your business (b) time is going to be short and pressure is high and (c) if you are the DBA, you could be about to fail in your job in a most visible and spectacular way.
Oddly enough, only two or three weeks ago I had another client in exactly the same position. Database is corrupted, the backup had not been tested, the backup turned out to be a waste of storage. In fact, in this case, I think the backup had not been taken for a considerable period of time as a standby database was being relied on as the backup. Which would have been fine if the Standby had been tested as fulfilling the purpose of "working backup".
The standby had not, as far as I could deduce, ever been opened and tested as a working and complete database since the last major upgrade to the host system. When tested for real, It proved not to be a working and complete database. It was an expensive "hopeful wish".
The client from a few weeks ago finally got their system back, but it took a lot of effort for the DBAs and the developers to sort it out and they were a tad lucky. The jury is out on the client who called me today.
I can't think of anything at all that the DBA function does that is more important than ensuring backups are taken and work. {Maybe an argument could be made that creating the system is more important as nothing can be done about that, but then you could argue that the most important thing you do in the morning is get out of bed}. Admittedly, setting up, running and testing backups is not a very exciting job. In fact it often seems to be a task passed on to a less experienced member of the team {just like creating databases in the first place}. But most of us are not paid to have fun, we are paid to do a job.
I'll just make a handful more comments before giving up for today.
- The database backup nearly always needs to be part of a more comprehensive backup solution. You need a way to recreate the oracle install, either a backup of the binaries and auxiliary files (sql*net, initialization files, password files etc) or at least installation media and all patches so you can recreate the installation. You need a method to recover or recreate your application and also your monitoring. You might need to be able to recreate your batch control. O/S? Have you covered all components of your system, can you delete any given file off your system and fix it?
- Despite the potential complexity resulting from the previous point, you should keep your backup as simple as you can. For example, if you only have a handful of small databases, you might just need old-style hot backups via a shell script, rather than RMAN. Only get complex {like backing up from a standby} if you have a very, very compelling business need to do so.
- Testing the backup once is a whole world better then never testing it. However, regular, repeated recovery tests not only allow the DBA/Sys Admin teams to become very comfortable with the recovery process and help ensure it is swift and painless, but by trying different scenarios, you may well discover issues that come under the first two points.
I've not even touched on the whole nightmare of Disaster Recovery :-)

103 9th grader - Jimmy Gulibon from Derry is raising a lot of eyebrows. Maybe PA's next 4Xer?
119 Sr. - Shane Young hasn't lost a folkstyle match since freshman year.
Jimmy Gulibon is pretty good, but still too early to tell, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of returning 103s so who knows really.
Shane Young actually has taken one loss since his freshman year, it was a week ago in a tournament final to Mitchelle Port 6-2 (who he beat in this tournament's semis 4-2).
And who else can't wait for a Megaludis vs Horan match?

Re: We did it! We took our 3 week old sailing today!
Well 3peas when we first went crusing with our son he was 6 months old and it was quite an event. We secured his car seat to binncal with some rope the old fashion way. We built a lee cloth to keep him foward in the v berth when he slept. We would arange pillows around him to keep him in the centre of the berth. As for the car seat it was a god send when traveling by cab we did have a minor incident with another car thank god every one was ok including Josh in his car seat. As for the baby pen it woud be easier just to sleep with your little in your berth at anchor. By the way keep it simple is the best method for every one on the boat. As for life jackets every one wears one under way, in the **** pit at anchor the boys are ok under supervision but never alone. Enjoy your holiday and keep in touch, Rember it goes fast just a blink and their 6 and 4 next they are in their teens ask cruising dad he will tell you lol.

Article Summary
Over the course of a year, NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) scans the entire sky. During February, its instruments are aligned in the correct direction to intercept atoms that have crossed the boundary from interstellar space into our solar system, become caught by the Sun's gravity and slung around the star. This has now allowed IBEX to capture the most complete glimpse of the material that travels in the galactic wind in the space between star systems. The results indicate this material doesn't look like the same material that makes up our solar system.
