Understanding Shared Memory and SemaphoresSubmitted by Nidhi Jain on Mon, 2003-12-15 13:03
by Nidhi Jain
Shared memory and semaphores are two important resources for an Oracle instance on Unix. An instance cannot start if it is unable to allocate what it needs.

Oracle Database renamed to Oracle10GSubmitted by admin on Wed, 2003-09-10 18:28
Oracle Corporation renamed the latest version of their database management system from Oracle 10i to Oracle10G to illustrate their commitment to Grid computing and the GGG (Great Global Grid). Oracle's Chairman and CEO, Larry Ellison, will release Oracle10G at the OracleWorld conference in San Francisco on the 9th of September 2003.
Oracle9i New Feature: Oracle Managed FilesSubmitted by admin on Mon, 2003-09-01 15:58
Oracle Managed Files (OMF), a new feature introduced in Oracle9i, enables the Oracle Server to automatically create and delete database files using standard operating system interfaces. This
feature hugely simplifies the job of the DBA, as the DBA doesn't need to interact with the underlying operating system to create and delete files.
Initialization Parameter files: PFILEs vs. SPFILEsSubmitted by admin on Sun, 2003-08-03 19:29
When an Oracle Instance is started, the characteristics of the Instance are established by parameters specified within the initialization parameter file. These initialization parameters are either stored in a PFILE or SPFILE. SPFILEs are available in Oracle 9i and above. All prior releases of Oracle are using PFILEs.
On-line Table Reorganization and RedefinitionSubmitted by admin on Sat, 2003-08-02 14:21
Tables can be reorganized and redefined (evolved) on-line with the DBMS_REDEFINITION package. The process is similar to on-line rebuilds of indexes, in that the original table is left on-line, while a new copy of the table is built. However, an index index-rebuild is a singular operation, while table redefinition is a multi-step process.
Locally vs. Dictionary Managed TablespacesSubmitted by admin on Tue, 2003-07-01 12:31
When Oracle allocates space to a segment (like a table or index), a group of contiguous free blocks, called an extent, is added to the segment. Metadata regarding extent allocation and unallocated extents are either stored in the data dictionary, or in the tablespace itself. Tablespaces that record extent allocation in the dictionary, are called dictionary managed tablespaces, and tablespaces that record extent allocation in the tablespace header, are called locally managed tablespaces.
TEMPORARY Tablespaces and TEMPFILESSubmitted by admin on Thu, 2003-06-19 02:28
What are Temporary Tablespaces:
Temporary tablespaces are used to manage space for database sort operations and for storing global temporary tables. For example, if you join two large tables, and Oracle cannot do the sort in memory (see SORT_AREA_SIZE initialisation parameter), space will be allocated in a temporary tablespace for doing the sort operation. Other SQL operations that might require disk sorting are: CREATE INDEX, ANALYZE, Select DISTINCT, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, UNION, INTERSECT, MINUS, Sort-Merge joins, etc.
The DBA should assign a temporary tablespace to each user in the database to prevent them from allocating sort space in the SYSTEM tablespace. This can be done with one of the following commands:
Automatic Undo Management (AUM)Submitted by admin on Wed, 2003-05-14 21:24
In Oracle 8i and below, Rollback Segments provide read consistency and the ability to rollback transactions. In Oracle 9i, Undo segments can be used to provide this functionality. The advantage of using Automatic Undo Management is that it relieves the DBA of manually creating, sizing and monitoring the rollback segments in the database.
Difference between DBFile Sequential and Scattered ReadsSubmitted by admin on Wed, 2003-04-23 08:46
Both "db file sequential read" and "db file scattered read" events signify time waited for I/O read requests to complete. Time is reported in 100's of a second for Oracle 8i releases and below, and 1000's of a second for Oracle 9i and above. Most people confuse these events with each other as they think of how data is read from disk. Instead they should think of how data is read into the SGA buffer cache or user PGA memory.
db file sequential read:
A sequential read operation reads data into contiguous memory (usually a single-block read with p3=1, but can be multiple blocks). Single block I/Os are usually the result of using indexes. This event is also used for rebuilding the controlfile and reading datafile headers (P2=1). In general, this event is indicative of disk contention on index reads.
Protecting Oracle executables on UnixSubmitted by admin on Fri, 2003-03-21 09:30
Execute the following commands to protect Oracle executables on Unix from unauthorized access:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin chmod 750 lsnrctl chmod 750 svrmgrl chmod 750 orapwd chmod 750 tnslsnr chmod 750 dbshut chmod 750 dbstart chmod 750 tstshm chmod 750 runInsaller
Also, change file permissions for all you Oracle database files:
Controlfiles = chmod 640 rw-r

Hey there, NCAA basketball fans from out of town, and welcome to Milwaukee. Let me tell you a little about this city we love.
We still get excited here when company comes over. You visit Milwaukee, you become family. In fact, we plan to claim you on our local U.S. census forms because, frankly, we need the federal dollars.
You'll notice how warm it is here in winter. To maintain this illusion, you'd have to leave like now before the next front blows in.
You Golden Gophers fans know you're not in Minnesota right now. Past experience tells us the rest of you may be unclear on that and you're wondering where Mall of America is.
Whatever you do, stay away from hospital water walls while you're in town. Long story. Just trust me on this one.
That carcinogenic odor you detect in restaurants and bars is indeed cigarette smoke. We still allow it, at least until July when a statewide ban kicks in. Concealed guns are still a no-go.
Don't go home without posing for a photo with Fonzie. He's the short bronze guy in turquoise pants alongside the Milwaukee River at Wells St. Alas, Richie moved away.
We don't brew as much beer here as we're famous for, but you'll have no trouble finding it for sale. Check every corner.
You may have heard that people drink a lot around here. This newspaper wrote a series called "Wasted in Wisconsin," which I'm surprised was not picked up as a tourism slogan. We're still not sure how many drunken-driving arrests it takes to get a state legislator expelled, but it's more than three.
Are you surprised we're not all wearing cheeseheads? We're weaning ourselves off wedges because, let's face it, they haven't made anyone laugh for a decade now.
Sorry about all the potholes. We locals are starting to get used to the fact that they're never going to be fixed. Ever.
We have a reputation for being tough on jaywalkers. That's loosened up in recent years, but don't do it right in front of a police officer directing traffic near the Bradley Center. At the very least, you'll get scolded.
We don't have subways, so if someone tells you to descend some darkened stairway to catch the L train uptown, you're probably about to get robbed.
I'm kidding. Our city, especially downtown, is relatively safe from crime. If you are menaced, there's a good chance our hero mayor will jump in to help.
Like everywhere, Milwaukee has struggled through the economic downturn. Feel free to buy lots of newspapers while you're here. If you have money left over, pick up a Harley-Davidson.
See that barren wilderness just north of the Bradley Center? A freeway spur was torn down. Some very exciting buildings may or may not go up there someday.
Let me know how the local hotels rate. If you stay two nights downtown, you will tie my lifetime number. One was my wedding night. The other was a snowstorm when I couldn't get home from work. Both at the Hyatt.
Today is Friday, so enjoy a fish fry. It's a Milwaukee tradition, especially in Lent. The cod and perch are delicious, but there's a shortage of giant leaping Asian carp because no one has been able to catch even one.
We're a big-league sports city, especially if you count our far northern suburb of Green Bay. That's why we share your appreciation for intense college matchups that are more than a business.
Enjoy, and c'mon back soon.
Call Jim Stingl at (414) 224-2017 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com

I'm lovin' the ride report! Jordan, do you know off-hand what the farthest distance was between gas stations? I've got an 1150GS and am wondering if I'll need to pack extra gas, or will my stock tank provide the range that I need.
The distances between gas stations supposedly changes every year due to new closing/possible re-openings. So keep that in mind. I think the longest we ever went between fuel stops was about 150 miles, and that was probably because we skipped one 30 miles or so after we filled up. It was never an issue, but the general rule of thumb once up in that area is to get fuel when you see it. I don't know if you plan on riding on the Cassier at all (we didn't), but the from what I've read, the fuel is definitely stretched out a bit more along it. We did carry 2 msr bottle for aux fuel (and cooking stove) but never touched them for the bike. FYI the tank on the V-strom holds 5.6 (?)ish gallons, and we averaged in the low 40's mpg. I think we encountered longer spacing between fuel coming through Nevada on Hwy 50.

Just read that Harden is signing a one year deal with Texas for $7.5M.
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
Our farm has producued a lot of talent in the last couple years. You can't build a team solely through the farm, you need trades and free agents too.
In the last few years the farm has produced:
Joey Votto
Jay Bruce
Johnny Cueto
Homer Bailey
Brandon Phillips (acquired for a prospect)
Ryan Hanigan
Drew Stubbs
Chris Dickerson
Carlos Fisher
And Zach Stewart was used to trade bait to acquire Scott Rolen.
With others like Juan Francisco, Todd Frazier, Yonder Alonso, Chris Heisey, Matt Maloney, Travis Wood, Enerio Del Rosario, and Logan Ondrusek only a phone call away from the majors.

It's incredibly unrealistic to expect every prospect to turn into a star immediately. Jay Bruce looks like a future superstar, and Bailey and Cueto also have star potential. Not everyone develops on the same timeline. Joey Votto was more advanced than the others.

Is there romance in your future? A job change? A financial windfall? What lies in store for you as autumn approaches?
Astrologer Susan Miller joined a live chat on ABCNEWS.com on Wednesday, August 30. Miller, who has over 25 years of experience as an astrologer, is the creator of the highly successful Astrology Zone®. She has appeared on ABC's 20/20 and The View, and is the author of Planets and Possibilities, scheduled for release in February 2001. Look below for a transcript of the chat.
Moderator at 4:06pm ET
Welcome Susan Miller! Thanks for joining us.
Susan Miller at 4:06pm ET
Hi, I'm so happy to be here!
Moderator at 4:07pm ET
Let's start with this questions from Annemarie:
Annemarie from mellon.com at 4:07pm ET
Hi, my name is Annemarie, I am an Aries born 3/25/69. Will there ever be the marriage and children in my future? I have had a tough two/three years of life lessons and feel that I should be moving on to more positive things. Thanks so much!
Susan Miller at 4:08pm ET
As of July 1st, thing started to turn around for Aries. Up until then, you had no help from either Jupiter or Saturn. Now you do. In effect, a whole new year started for you on July 1st. You have every reason to be hopeful that things will work out.
In order to find love, it would be best for you to travel short distances now and then — such as to a mountain or seaside resort. Good luck. Please keep checking my column as I will give all Aries the very best days for romance each month.
lisa from oh.us.prserv.net at 4:11pm ET
What's up with Leo/Virgo rising? The past two years have been VERY difficult with my boyfriend. I made a decision to move on last week. What's in my future concerning relationships?
Susan Miller at 4:12pm ET
Lisa, your difficulties were caused by the eclipses in Leo. But as of July 31st, those are finished, and you will not be feeling any of the effects of the eclipses for a long time. You had many unexpected developments come up that were probably unnerving.
Now, a much more steady future is in store. You have every reason to be optimistic!
Jack at 4:14pm ET
Hello, My name is Jack And I was born on 1/8/73. I am a Capricorn. Lately my mom and my roommate have had dreams about me dying. Can you tell me what this means?
Susan Miller at 4:16pm ET
Dear Jack, Capricorn, dreams are symbols, not reality. It sounds to me that both your roommate and your mom care about you very much and can't imagine being without you! My aunt always used to assure me that those kinds of dreams are actually good, not bad. It is funny that you should ask this question, as Capricorn is the sign that is said to be very interested in death and the cycles of life. Jack, the best news of all is that your sign has more people living over 100 than any other. I wrote that in my book, and Warner Books currently has that book on press. You see, I am not just saying this to cheer you up — it's true!
Tammy K. at 4:16pm ET
Hi Susan. I am a Libra, born 10/13/59 2:20 p.m. California time. I feel a bit in limbo right now, both personally and professionally. Do you see any major changes? Thank you.

The European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) is a think and do tank. Our main goal is to broker effective development partnerships between the EU and the Global South, particularly Africa.
The ECDPM Talking Points blog aims to deepen the dialogue on policy issues, and get to the heart of the matter in an honest and concise way.
GREAT insights is ECDPM's monthly magazine with a focus on issues related to Governance, Regional integration, Economics, Agriculture and Trade.
The Weekly Compass, ECDPM's weekly newsletter, is a rich source of information for policy makers, analysts, activists and the private sector.
The Filter gives you the most relevant international cooperation news – over 500 sources are scanned daily to help busy policy-makers stay up to date.
In his latest blog, San Bilal discusses the high cost that protectionist measures have on poor countries, following the publication of the report 'Throwing Sand in the Wheels: How Protectionism Slowed Export-Led Growth For The World's Poorest Countries'.
Rhys Williams reflects back on the 2015 European Development Days and asks some burning questions on its future role.
Isabelle Ramdoo argues that the question of anchoring mineral infrastructure in regional integration is important because on the African continent, the lack of infrastructure is still a significant barrier to mobility (of people, goods and services), productivity and economic development.
What are the different types, sources and volumes of finance that can help to address development challenges across countries and regions? And what are the implications of these different financing tools for policy makers? Find out in our dossier.
From July 2014 until December 2015, ECDPM and theIDLgroup will partner to produce a study on the drivers and obstacles to regional cooperation and integration in Africa. Find out more about this study in our dossier.

I thought that The Espressologist was such a cute book.
It was light, fun, humorous and romantic. I loved that
Jane was a modern day matchmaker, and matching people
based on their coffee preferences is a really smart idea.
Who doesn't want a little love with their coffee? The book
was short and interesting, so it read fast. The one thing
I didn't like that much was that the author was very
brief. Everytime something happened, the author could tell
it in five sentences. She really took efficiency to a new
extreme. It wasn't that big of a deal, but in my opinion
it prevented The Espressologist from flowing as well as it
could have. Despite that, I still think that The
Espressologist was hilarious and a fun read for the

Historical Traveler Reviews Residence Inn Santa Fe
Great place to stay in Santa Fe!
Awww... the Santa Fe Residence in is an absolute charming hotel. Santa Fe is a beautiful little city any way...and the hotel (like all Residence Inns) offers a kitchen and sitting area with a fireplace and couch. The hotel also offers free breakfast to it's guests and it was good - a total step above the medicore free breakfasts one sometimes encounters at hotels. There is a pool, jacuzzi, basketball court and laundry room.
We were in Santa Fe on tour and we found the bed comfortable, the rooms were a bit dated but clean...(for the most part, I am a bit neurotic and I would say our room wasn't vaccumed well, there were long white pet hairs all over our floor and my yoga matt still smells a bit like someone spilled fritos!).
I would say the hotel is very retreat-like, really relaxing, beautiful and comfortable. Overall we had a really wonderful and positive experience and we would definately reccomend the hotel to friends and stay at the Residence Inn Santa Fe over and over again.
Great Experience
We are traveling with our two adult children, a son and a daughter. I booked a penthouse suite which had an upstairs bedroom and bath, a hideabed in the living room and a queen-sized murphy bed which could be separated from the living room space by a curtain. There was a bathroom, living room with fireplace, and kitchen on the first floor as well. The unit was clean and nicely decorated. I think that Marriott has recently upgraded their linens. The pillow were not down, but they were comfortable. The complimentary breakfast included eggs, waffles, sausage, potatoes, oatmeal, biscuits, English muffins, cereal, granola, yogurt and fruit - quite a spread. I booked on Marriot's website and with a AAA discount, paid $207 plus taxes. Considering that breakfast itself could have cost $30-40 and that we were staying in a pricey town, I didn't think it was bad. The hotel is not within walking distance to the downtown area, but it is only a 5 minute drive to get there. I would definitely recommend the hotel.
Great family set up!!
I'm SO GLAD to have read the previous reviews which helped me decide to pick this location for our stay in Santa Fe. Our family (me and hubby, two girls, 10 & 13) really enjoyed our 3 night stay in late June. I got a good deal on the website - $150/nite for a penthouse which gave us a king and full bathroom upstairs with a murphy bed and complete bathroom downstairs plus a pull out couch, living room and complete kitchen. Since we were here Tues - Thurs we were able to eat each evening, a really nice, adequate free meal in the lobby. One night we had spaghetti, another nite they grilled burgers and hot dogs (another night we went out to Maria's, famous for their fabulous margaritas, which was right up the road.) Now, it's no full service restaurant, but after a long day of sightseeing we welcomed this light dinner and it sure helped with our travel budget! Breakfasts were great as well. The pool area and spa were very clean and beautiful. The kids enjoyed playing on the basketball court right outside our room, where there were other kids enjoying themselves as well. There are a few outdoor grills which some guests were using to grill steaks and eating al fresco. The grounds of this property were park-like, and there were so many sweet birds chirping we really felt we were in a special place. The staff were very courteous and helpful. I also enjoy being so close to our car - no hassles checking in and out, lots of parking, etc. We were very close to shopping - just 5 minutes up St. Francis Drive and there was a Wild Oats Market right next to a Walgreens. This hotel is also very close to museum hill - a beautiful part of town. This experience hooked us on the Residence Inn!!
Stayed for two months with 2 children and loved it
We travel very frequently, and this hotel has been the best we've ever stayed at. The staff is ultra-attentive and really goes out of their way to make you feel at home. The rooms were very large (we stayed in both the studio and penthouse suite and had more than enough space for four) and were impressed with the comfortable furnishings. The kitchen has a full refridgerator/freezer, stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, and toaster and more cabinet space than you can possibly use. They even provide dishwashing detergent!! The free breakfast is outstanding and includes hot items (eggs, country fries, sausage, pancakes, oatmeal) , cold items (yogurt, fruit, cereals), a bread area (assorted muffins, tortillas, toast, bagels), a beverage station (cofee, assorted teas and juices), and an area to make your own Belgian waffles. There is a light dinner served from Monday through Wednesday (Green chili stew, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken wings, tacos etc.). During the summer there is a Thursday cookout with hot dogs, burgers, veggie burgers and all the sides.) If you need a snack, there is popcorn provided in each room. The closets and bathrooms are very large. There is a very reasonably priced (75 cents a load) laundry room with three washers and four dryers. If you need soap or fabric softener there is a vending machine in the laundry room. There are three spas and a very nice pool with a grape covered patio next to it where you can relax while the kids swim. The grounds are so peaceful and pretty. Unlike most of Santa Fe, this hotel has nice landscaping with tall pines, lush grass, flowers, and fruit trees (If you have your window open, you can really hear the birds). There are mountain views from some rooms. Each room has a fireplace and a little balcony. The location is especially great if you want to see more than just the Plaza as it is close to everything. I had no trouble at all reaching the nearby grocery store, malls, and outlet center. They go all out to make your stay enjoyable; I even received flowers from the hotel staff on my birthday! Pets are welcome.
Nice Room, a little far.
The staff is great! The breakfast one of the best, even make your own waffles. It was just hard because we like walking, but it was over a mile and a half to the plaza and when we got there we didnt feel like walking around with purchases, so one will definately want to drive. The rooms are quite spacious and the staff friendly, I would recommend it, but only if you dont mind driving to the plaza. If you want to simply walk out of your hotel and be in the plaza this isnt the place for you. But if you want to explore all of santa Fe it is a nice home base, especially since there is a kitchen. It is ideal for families.
Very nice place to stay
We just returned from our stay at the Residence Inn and were very pleased with every aspect of the stay. It is conveniently located. We had a studio which was very spacious and nicely equiped kitchen. The staff was pleasant and accomodating. Both an ample breakfast and light snack in the evening were served. We can enthusiastically recommend this hotel!
A little tired, perhaps?
Great, friendly staff, the rooms are a bit threadbare and worn and we found ourselves chuckling at the towels and bedding. This property is ready for some spit and polish. Other than that, they took our pets with a smile and helped us out in other ways too. Near the hospital and close to town, it will probably suit you fine if you can't get into one of the downtown inns.
Great Place for Families
We've stayed in the SF Res Inn several times & it's a great deal for families. There were lots of happy families this weekend appearing to have a blast at the pool, hot tub, tennis courts & hoops. The breakfast was darn good; nice selection, too.
Our rooms are dependably clean, the staff is GREAT, and we meet such nice folks each time. Yes, I remember the days before kids when we insisted on staying by the Plaza. But you know, SF is not just an adult paradise. Kids deserve to experience how great SF is, too!
Nice, comfortable room
My husband and I stayed at the Residence Inn during a ten-day trip to Santa Fe. The room, a large studio type room was spacious, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the fireplace nightly. It was also nice to have a kitchen as we were able to eat a meal or two in, which was nice after long days of walking the city all day. The staff was very nice and helpfull. Our room was very quiet even though it faced the parking lot. We had only two problems, the first, the shower head could have blasted paint off a wall, the hotel replaced it immediately. The second problem which they were unable to fix was the hot water situation. The hot water in the shower quickly became cold. It did not stay hot/warm for even one of us to get a quick shower. My husband and I took turns so one of us would get a partial hot water shower. Obviously this wasn't ideal. Other than that, the property is a bit off the Plaza, about a five minute drive. Since we had a car this was not a problem.
Good family hotel
My family of five has stayed several times at the Residence Inn while visiting relatives in Santa Fe, both summer and winter, usually taking two large rooms. The rooms are modern and spacious, if not elegant, each with a kitchen. A very adequate breakfast is included, with afternoon activities and treats. The Inn is built around a courtyard with a nice pool, jacuzzi, and paddle tennis court. The price is moderate for a very convenient and comfortable base for exploring Santa Fe.

Travel Blogs from Santa Fe
... did have to stop off before getting there though and did so at the Welcome Center at the New Mexico Border. The lady in there was really helpful and gave us lots of advice on things to see along our route which we took under advisement. One in particular is a national monument we will drive near when we leave Santa Fe so hopefully we will get to see that. We also had to stop for fuel (I keep switching between calling it fuel, gas and petrol by the way. ...
Santa Fe
... Fe retains it's historical and authentic feel. We started off in the main square and typically we headed towards the nearest bar to chill out before we went out for some typical southwestern food. We sat on the rooftop of The Draft Station on the main square. A really pretty spot. While taking some photos a couple on the next table offered to take a photo of all of us. Not so unusual....but 10 minutes later they got up to leave and paid out drinks tab!! That kind of thing ...
Culture Days
... We walked through a few art galleries on Canyon Road, Deb went crazy photographing doors, and we even made a few small purchases at a yard sale! Ended the day by visiting the oldest church in the US, San Miguel, with its beautiful wooden ceiling. Some rain chased us back home early as we are exhausted and have a big outdoor day tomorrow.

text: Media Will a new, simplified Slacker Radio be able to take on Spotify, Pandora & Rdio? February 13, 2013 11:50 AM Tom Cheredar 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Slacker Radio rolled out a pretty drastic makeover today aimed at making its streaming music service seem fresh in the face of heavy competition from the likes of Pandora, Spotify, Rdio, and others. Despite offering a combination of music, news programming, and OnDemand tracks, Slacker has always lagged behind those competitors (Spotify, Pandora, and XM Radio) in terms of both paying customers and listeners. (Spotify has over 5 million paying subscribers to Slacker's 500,000.) Slacker Radio currently has a larger library of music than Pandora, news/sports/talk stations from ABC and ESPN, and over 200 curated smart radio stations. But being a more complete streaming music service may have contributed to Slacker's obscurity. People like simple, straightforward services that perform a few tasks and then build on those tasks. Slacker's new design zeros in on this logic, offering a much cleaner user interface that strips out a lot of the clutter found in the previous version. Gone is the heavy black and gold interface, which has been replaced with mostly whites, grays, and lots of light blue. The U.I. also seems to keep a forward approach in terms of how it could translate to mobile devices, which is a big area of growth for streaming music services. However, Slacker's new interface will also appear on native apps for Android, iOS, and Xbox Live. Admittedly, I haven't spent much time using Slacker's service, but the revamped interface does make me want to give it a second chance. Check out some screenshots of the new site below.

30 year old man | Franklin, PA, USA | Seeking women 18-26
Active within 24 hours
I love to hangout with friends and have a good time, but I would also be fine with just relaxing and watching movies.
Hi, my name is Brady, I live in a small town in PA called Franklin and its awesome lol I guess my closest friends would probably describe me by saying that I am a good guy who just needs to find some confidence to meet a good girl, which to me is much easier said then done. I am very thankful for my friends and family because without them I probably wouldn't be the person I am today, they have always been there for me through everything to keep me sane and on the right path. I would like to meet a girl that I can actually take home to meet my family and a girl that can deal with me being a little immature at times, I am very responsible but I love to have a good time and sometimes sarcasm is a must lol I love music, pretty much any type, but I really like hardcore bands like Underoath, As I Lay Dying, Killswitch, Five Finger Death Punch, All That Remains, Emery and others but I can listen to anything. If you wanna know more just ask! I'll eventually pay to have this online dating thing but I just don't have the money right now, so hopefully if my dream girl is on here she can wait till I can subscribe! ;)
Camping , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Religion/Spiritual
Auto racing / Motorcross, Weights / Machines

Middle of the Road
Franklin, Pennsylvania! Other then that I'd say anywhere in Virginia, the beach or the Mountains. I love Off Roading so being in the woods with the top off the Jeep getting muddy is definitely my favorite.
Anything that goes fast and is loud enough to disturb the next county over... O and baby kittens ;)
I guess the things I like to do the most for fun would be hanging out with friends.. and family to I guess lol anything outdoors I love but being inside relaxing and watching a good movie would be great to.

The primary job of a stock broker is to help a client develop an investment plan based on the client's specific needs. A stock broker advises a client and gives recommendations on stocks and other financial instruments, monitors and keeps a record of the client's investments transactions, buys and sells shares of stocks, mutual funds and similar instruments, evaluates and interprets financial reports, and keeps track of the stock market movement at all times. A stock broker works for large financial houses, brokers and banks such as JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Edward Jones, Scottrade, and the like. His place of work is either on the trading floor of his company or in the stock exchange itself, surrounded by his fellow stock traders. He may be constantly on the phone dealing with his clients and with the specialists on the trading floor. He reports to a manager of the specific trading department where he works. There are usually more than one stock broker in a large financial firm, and they are often supervised by a principal or senior stock broker or manager. Typically, a stock broker must have a bachelor's degree, preferably in business, finance, management or marketing. An MBA degree would be a major advantage. The key skills for this position are: keen analytical ability, high tolerance to stress, strong drive and ambition, competitiveness, and computer skills. The hours of a stock broker follow the stock trading hours, including the morning and evening extended hours.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
In general, experience and pay appear to be strongly linked; those with more experience usually bring in higher incomes. Stock Brokers in the early stages of their careers take home approximately $47K on average. The average for people in the five-to-10 year group is only a little larger at $54K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Stock Brokers make a median salary of $73K. Stock Brokers who have acquired more than 20 years of relevant experience earn significantly more than folks with fewer years on their resumes; the average income in this veteran group is $122K.
For Stock Brokers, working in the bustling city of New York has its advantages, including an above-average pay rate. The smallest paychecks in the market, 17 percent south of the national average, can be found in Denver.

YIELD: Serves 6 to 8
In a large heavy skillet cook the leeks and 4 tablespoons of the butter, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are very tender, and keep them warm. In a kettle combine the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, the garlic, and enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain the potatoes and garlic in a large colander, return the potatoes to the kettle, reserving the garlic, and cook them over moderate heat, shaking the kettle, for 30 seconds to let any excess liquid evaporate. Peel the reserved garlic, force the garlic and the potatoes through a ricer or the medium disk of a food mill into a bowl, and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the leeks, the milk, and the salt and pepper to taste.

The American Legion told a judge yesterday that Prudential Financial Inc.'s practice of collecting interest on unpaid veterans' life-insurance benefits is "unlawful and dishonest," according to Bloomberg Business Week.
The American Legion asked permission to file a legal brief supporting a pending case in Springfield, Massachusetts, against Prudential Insurance Co. of America, a unit of Newark, New Jersey-based Prudential Financial.
The pending lawsuit by the families of deceased veterans accuses the insurer of failing to pay beneficiaries in a lump sum as required by U.S. law and the language of the policies. Instead, the lawsuit says that Prudential strongly encourages beneficiaries to keep the money in accounts with the company, which pays them a small amount of interest.
The "practice is unlawful and dishonest," the American Legion said in its court filing. "It is especially objectionable because sophisticated money managers are making an unwarranted and unlawful profit from the deaths of those who have given the most to preserve our nation's way of life."
The Legion feels that beneficiaries should be paid in a lump sum when requested initially – and should be paid immediately, not issued a money-market checkbook – and that no company should be able to retain the earnings on the withheld money while paying the beneficiaries the "going rate" only. In the 1960s, the Legion testified that all death benefits should be handled directly by the government and not by any private insurer.

Season finale review: 'Sherlock' - 'His Last Vow': Mind palace or yours?
"Sherlock" season 3 just concluded airing on PBS, and I have a few thoughts on the finale coming up just as soon as I lick your face...
In my advance review of the season, I noted that the premiere spent too much effort trying to outdo two years of speculation about how Sherlock survived the fall, that the new season as a whole was more self-aware (or perhaps, more overtly comic) than previous ones, and that this concluding episode was by far the most satisfying of the three.
That said, I still had some issues with "His Last Vow, particularly the resolution of it. (Earlier, I had been annoyed with the whole fake engagement gambit, which seemed too casually cruel even for Sherlock, though the notion that his girlfriend didn't care — and that he, as Sherlock Holmes, understood her well enough to know that she wouldn't — mostly waved that away.) That Holmes is placed against an opponent he can't outwit, in a circumstance where deadly force is the only solution, is the entire point of the story. But it seems incredibly foolish of Magnussen to put himself in a position where a bullet to the head would solve all of Sherlock and John's problems. Yes, he's incredibly arrogant, but if the idea is that he's an example of what happens when Sherlock's specific gifts are used for evil rather than good, than he still wouldn't be dumb enough to let that happen.
And beyond that, it all felt a bit like the climax of "Man of Steel," in which a situation is contrived in which our hero has no choice but to take deadly action that goes against the things that have defined the character for decades. When "Sherlock" is at its best, you can't see the hands of Moffat or Gatiss manipulating people and events to get the desired result. Here, I could, even as I found Magnussen (played by Mads Mikkelsen's brother Lars) a very compelling villain to that point, and as I enjoyed the great new complexities of the Watson marriage now that we know Mary's true identity.
But Magnussen's dispensed with, and the apparent return from the dead of Moriarty (which I assume will be much more complicated than that, and hope will involve the return of Irene Adler) lets Sherlock off the hook for his murder. And now we wait to see how long it'll be before the schedules of Cumberbatch, Freeman and the creators can line up again long enough to make three more episodes. I found this season more disappointing than not, and yet the talent on hand, and the great bond between our two heroes, remains so strong that I'll still be happy to return to 221B Baker Street whenever the next opportunity presents itself.
What did everybody else think, of both "His Last Vow" and season 3 as a whole?

continued "It's really artistic and very scary," said Sova.
Since she's the reason for the haunted house turned charity, Chloe helps as much as she can.
"I help staple wood to the floor of the barn and the ceiling of the barn and put up smoke machines and hang up things and zombies and stuff," said Chloe. "It's fun to do because when I get home from the bus sometimes my dad is already out there working on it so I just bring my stuff in and go help."
Her sisters, Haley, 10, and Marie, 8, also help out each night.
And though she's not actually in the haunted house, just ushering tour groups back and forth, Chloe has a frightening costume of her own planned for trick or treating.
"I'm going to be a dead princess. … Last year I was a princess but not dead and this year I wanted to be scary," said Chloe. "I have a big red dress and I'm going to have a pretty bracelet that's red. My face will be painted white and [I'll] put black scars on my face."
The event has grown each year and in about five Halloweens has raised nearly $2,300.
This year, local businesses got involved and donated coffee, donuts, candy and cider for people to enjoy while they wait for a turn through the house. There will also be a bucket raffle with donated gift certificates and gifts and old fashioned horror movies will be projected in a tent.
Chloe said she likes using a fun holiday event to give back.
"I think that it's good for the people that need the money that we get," said Chloe. "They saved me so I want to save some more people."
Kim Sova said she's worked hard to instill the value of saying "thank you" and paying it forward in all three of her daughters.
"That's the most important thing we wanted to instill in them, infinite gratitude," she said.
People can brave the haunted house on Oct. 28 and 29 from 6 to 10 p.m. at 199 Young Road in Middle Grove.
