I was very pleased when I heard about Oracle adding pivot functionality in select statements. Finally — we wouldn't have to copy the data to a spreadsheet or code a ton of
sum(case when col1 = 'X' then amount else 0 end) total_X for each column we would want to display.
I am basically looking for three things in a pivot-style query:
- the ability to specify which column will be pivoted as one or more columns in the resulting query
- row subtotals
- column subtotals
The first item is the only one that really matters. I can work around the other two, so let's get started.
Create a test table with a few rows:
create table bob_pivot_test( id number, cost number, tx_date date, product_type varchar2(50)); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,10.99,sysdate-10,'Toy'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,10.99,sysdate-9,'Toy'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,20.999,sysdate-9,'Toy'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,20.999,sysdate-9,'Tool'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,20.999,sysdate-9,'Furniture'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,20.999,sysdate-9,'Food'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,5.00,sysdate-8,'Toy'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,5.00,sysdate-8,'Tool'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,5.00,sysdate-8,'Furniture'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,5.00,sysdate-8,'Food'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,5.00,sysdate-7,'Toy'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,5.00,sysdate-7,'Tool'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,5.00,sysdate-7,'Furniture'); insert into bob_pivot_test values (1,5.00,sysdate-7,'Food');
I looked at the syntax diagram and came up with the following query to start:
SELECT * FROM (SELECT trunc(tx_date,'dd') day , product_type, cost FROM bob_pivot_test) PIVOT (SUM(cost) FOR product_type IN ('Toy','Food')); 2 3 4 DAY 'Toy' 'Food' --------- ---------- ---------- 08-SEP-07 31.989 20.999 09-SEP-07 10 10 07-SEP-07 10.99 10-SEP-07 10 10
It's a good start, but useful only if we don't have to specify the columns. I tried and tried, then read a little further in the documentation, and found that the
ANY or subquery that can be specified in the
IN clause for
product_type works only if you pivot for XML. What a disappointment!
This excerpt is straight from the documentation:
A subquery is used only in conjunction with the XML keyword. When you specify a subquery,
all values found by the subquery are used for pivoting. The output is not the same cross-tabular format returned by non-XML pivot queries. Instead of multiple columns specified in the pivot_in_clause, the subquery produces a single XML string column. The XML string for each row holds aggregated data corresponding to the implicit
GROUP BYvalue of that row. The XML string for each output row includes all pivot values found by the subquery, even if there are no corresponding rows in the input data.
The subquery must return a list of unique values at the execution time of the pivot query. If the subquery does not return a unique value, then Oracle Database raises a run-time error. Use the
DISTINCTkeyword in the subquery if you are not sure the query will return unique values.
ANYkeyword is used only in conjunction with the XML keyword. The
ANYkeyword acts as a wildcard and is similar in effect to subquery. The output is not the same cross-tabular format returned by non-XML pivot queries. Instead of multiple columns specified in the pivot_in_clause, the
ANYkeyword produces a single XML string column.
The XML string for each row holds aggregated data corresponding to the implicit
GROUP BYvalue of that row. However, in contrast to the behavior when you specify subquery, the ANY wildcard produces an XML string for each output row that includes only the pivot values found in the input data corresponding to that row.
Okay, so we move on. Let's see if the XML version of the query actually works. Here it is, along with its data:
SQL> set long 10000000 SQL> SELECT * FROM (SELECT trunc(tx_date,'dd') day , product_type, cost FROM bob_pivot_test) PIVOT XML(SUM(cost) as cost FOR product_type IN (ANY)); 2 3 DAY --------- PRODUCT_TYPE_XML -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 07-SEP-07 <PivotSet><item><column name = "PRODUCT_TYPE">Toy</column><column name = "COST">10.99</column></item></PivotSet> 08-SEP-07<PivotSet><item><column name = "PRODUCT_TYPE">Food</column><column name = "COST" >20.999</column></item><item><column name = "PRODUCT_TYPE">Furniture</column><column name = "COST">20.999</column></item><item><column name = "PRODUCT_TYPE">Tool</column><column name = "COST">20.999</column></item><item><column name = "PRODUCT_TYPE">Toy</column><column name = "COST">31.989</column></item></PivotSet> 09-SEP-07 <PivotSet><item><column name = "PRODUCT_TYPE">Food</column><column name = "COST">10</column></item><item><column name = "PRODUCT_TYPE">Furniture</column><column name = "COST">10</column></item><item><column name = "PRODUCT_TYPE">Tool</column><column name = "COST">10</column></item><item><column name = "PRODUCT_TYPE">Toy</column><column name = "COST">10</column></item></PivotSet>
Well it works, but it's not much of a breakthrough. You might as well create the columns with sums of case statements if you have to define them. But let's move on to the sums of rows and columns, starting with a grand total at the bottom:
select day, sum(toy), sum(food) from ( SELECT * FROM (SELECT trunc(tx_date,'dd') day , product_type, cost FROM bob_pivot_test) PIVOT (SUM(cost) FOR product_type IN ('Toy' ,'Food' )) ) group by cube(day); 2 3 4 5 6 7 select day, sum(toy), sum(food) from ( * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00904: "FOOD": invalid identifier
If we look at the last query that worked, we notice that the column names are the actual mixed-cased values in single quotes. We have to alias them, which would make sense for numeric values as well, so lets try that.
select day, sum(toy), sum(food) from ( 2 SELECT * FROM 3 (SELECT trunc(tx_date,'dd') day , product_type, cost FROM bob_pivot_test) 4 PIVOT 5 (SUM(cost) FOR product_type IN ('Toy' as "TOY",'Food' as "FOOD")) 6 ) 7 group by cube(day) 8 order by grouping(day), day; DAY SUM(TOY) SUM(FOOD) --------- ---------- ---------- 07-SEP-07 10.99 08-SEP-07 31.989 20.999 09-SEP-07 10 10 10-SEP-07 10 10 62.979 40.999
That wasn't so bad. Now onto row-totals on the right. You have to do it the old-fashioned way.
SQL> select day, sum(toy), sum(food),sum(nvl(toy,0)+nvl(food,0)) from ( 2 SELECT * FROM 3 (SELECT trunc(tx_date,'dd') day , product_type, cost FROM bob_pivot_test) 4 PIVOT 5 (SUM(cost) FOR product_type IN ('Toy' as "TOY",'Food' as "FOOD")) ) group by cube(day) 6 7 8 order by grouping(day), day; DAY SUM(TOY) SUM(FOOD) SUM(NVL(TOY,0)+NVL(FOOD,0)) --------- ---------- ---------- --------------------------- 07-SEP-07 10.99 10.99 08-SEP-07 31.989 20.999 52.988 09-SEP-07 10 10 20 10-SEP-07 10 10 20 62.979 40.999 103.978
So we were able to get the data out, but nonetheless, I feel that Oracle let us down by forcing us to specify columns. I know it's not easy to do, but that's why I was excited about the feature in the first place. I would give this feature a 2 out of 10. I hope that in the next release, Oracle will make available for regular SQL the clauses now available only for XML.

2 out of 10. At this rate, it won't work properly until Oracle 13g Release 1.
Doing what you want will not be easy, not only for Oracle, but for the clients: Supporting the sub-query and ANY without XML implies that CBO not only parses the SQL, but also executes the sub-query (or the query if you use ANY) in order to find out how many columns this query returns (it has to know in order to tell the 'client' programs how many columns there are so that they allocate the buffers, ….). A way out would be to augment the SQL with the MAX number of columns the user expects, but this puts much burden on the user, and the system will have to decide what to do in case of ANY surpassing this MAX.
[…] difference between count(*) and count(1). Also here at home, Robert Hamel gives a bad rating to 11g's new pivot table feature. "I was very pleased when I heard about Oracle adding pivot functionality in select […]
excelent functionality but the usage is very limited with the restriction of variable value in the pivot section.I dont know why the Orcale more concentrated with XML intsted of providing the functionality in the base noraml SQL.
Hello, Can anyone help me? Ive been trying a simple pivot byt just cant get it to work.
* i need the below select statement to have an output as below:
There are many values for both values PP02D and PP05P.
Any help will be appreciated.
I'm currently writing some code that requires a pivot table. All I need to do is generate an output file with the pivoted data, and I'm doing it using SQL*Plus. In this case, I'm just going to generate the IN list using SQL-generating-SQL. I've got a variable list of values from 120-140 values going across the columns, so I can't make it static. The SQL-generating-SQL technique works fine for this case. Even if I was writing a C/C++ program, I'd still use dynamic SQL for this and allocate my return buffers in a variable sized array. I personally don't see this as a huge limitation of the pivot table feature in 11g. Relying on XML to make the columns variable was probably a good decision on Oracle's part. XML gives you an overall structure to handle the returning data rather than using an array like I would do. My approach works, but it's probably a little old-school. Using XML is more forward-thinking if you ask me.
I am using the Oracle Warehouse Builder 11G. I am having an issue with the pivot operator. IN my source database I have a table with around 200 columns, each having say 1000 rows. Now I want to make each of the column into multiple rows by pivoting it. IN the pivot operator provided I have to type in the name of the columns manually which is not feasible for such big tables. Any one have any suggestions??
[…] We have someone who needs to do something like this. Right now the plan is to create some dynamic SQL. You may find this page useful. Oracle 11g: New Pivot Table Feature | The Pythian Blog […]
Oracle has a limit of 1000 columns. So it may be another reason why Oracle forced to specify values for pivot. Pick only what you need.
XML does not have such a restriction.

"You can just imagine if everyone on earth did have one day where we just put all of our minds together regardless where the force is, as long as it's positive, and just meditate for even an hour that day. And just live nice with them nice meditation. I mean, now, the climate would be nice, the smog would a leave." – Bob Marley
Cannabis users love to quote Bob Marley, especially on social networks like Twitter and Facebook. Those who love Bob Marley quotes are going to love a new release from Tuff Gong Books and Harmony Books, The Future is The Beginning: The Words and Wisdom of Bob Marley.
The quotes themselves were gathered from the walls of Bob Marley's room at 56 Hope Road in Kingston, Jamaica, which is now the Bob Marley Museum and is where Bob worked during much of the 1970's. The walls are covered with newspaper clippings containing many interviews with Bob.
In the quotes, his overwhelming focus is God, as it was in his life. But God to Bob Marley was not a menacing presence to Bob Marley as religion tends to be to many in the U.S. To Bob Marley, God was about love and living a good life. God was about being a postive force in the world.
The book doesn't contain much about cannabis, which isn't surprising; Bob Marley did not see marijuana as an end in itself, but rather as a vessel through which God brought happiness.
It's a great book for those who love Bob Marley for the things he said and the things he stood for, instead of just his music.

Find new Delaware discoveries
In Delaware, anglers and boaters can take their choice of ocean, bays, canals, rivers and ponds. Stand-up paddleboarding is a growing pursuit in the beautiful Inland Bays, and canoeing trails abound along the waterways of the coastal areas near the Delaware Bay. Some serious fishing takes place on the headboats departing from southern beach towns, but there's plenty of less-complicated fun to be had by the side of a stream, off the end of a pier, or in a kayak.
For more watersport adventures, be sure to explore the Delaware Outdoor Trail.
Brandywine Creek: Meandering through the heart of Northern Delaware's mansion-filled "Chateau Country," the Brandywine offers a beautiful setting for freshwater fishing. At Brandywine Creek State Park, anglers can find smallmouth bass, bluegill and crappie, and trout in Wilson's Run, near the main entrance to the park. "Tubing" excursions and canoe trips down the river offer more immersive opportunities for fun.
Chesapeake & Delaware Canal: Delaware's biggest man-made waterway is a popular destination for all persuasions of boaters, and offers a system of canal-side roads and trails for further exploration. Kayakers and canoeists can launch at Fort DuPont State Park -- once an active military base from the Civil War through World War II, the park now offers picnicking, fishing, and hiking. From here, the broad Chesapeake & Delaware stretches 14 miles into Maryland, featuring restaurants and marinas along the way.
St. Jones River: This serpentine stream meanders from the downtown area of the state capital in Dover to Bowers Beach, a scenic and serene town tucked amid natural beauty along the Delaware Bay. Boats can be launched at the St. Jones River Boat Ramp, and as you paddle, you'll pass through the Little Creek and Ted Harvey Wildlife Areas, both scenic and natural settings. Other main access points allow trips of varying lengths: Lebanon Landing on Sorghum Mill Road in Dover; Ted Harvey Wildlife Area on Barkers Landing Road; and Bowers Beach's Beach Public Access or Boat Ramp. For lunch, head back to Dover, which boasts plentiful local favorites (consider 33 West Ale House & Grill, The Greene Turtle, or Rice).
Trap Pond State Park: Boating among the magnificent stands of bald cypress trees – the northernmost stand in the nation -- is an unforgettable experience. Rowboats, pedal boats, canoes and kayaks are available for rent during the summer season, and the park interpreter hosts narrated pontoon boat tours on weekends and holidays, from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. The launching ramp here can accommodate small motorized boats for scenic excursions or some fishing, which features largemouth bass, pickerel, crappie, and bluegills. One of the streams that flows into Trap Pond has been marked as a wilderness canoe trail, giving boaters a chance to explore the marshland's interior. For dinner, consider embracing some French flair at Bon Appetit in Seaford.
Lums Pond State Park: Boating and fishing are just the beginning at Lums Pond, which features affordable rentals of canoes, kayaks, sailboats, rowboats and paddle boats (available through Labor Day). There's also biking trails, horseback riding and camping, and outdoor thrillseekers have probably never experienced anything like Delaware's new Go Ape Treetop Adventure Course, a tarzan-esque climbing challenge that's the first of its kind in the region. The course features a series of zip lines, Tarzan swings, rope ladders, bridges, swings, and trapezes, which typically take 2-3 hours to complete, and are suited to all skill levels.

Lose Yourself in Tokyo
Tokyo was ranked the second most expensive city in the world this year following after oil-rich city, Luanda, Angola according to Mercer's cost of living research (http://www.mercer.com/costofliving). The recent upstream of the Japanese currency, Yen, is emphasizing the impression even more. Accordingly, trip to Tokyo "can" cost you a fortune. $300 per night for stay in a brand name hotel. You can easily spend $50 for a meal if you go out with your colleagues to a loud smokey places where portions of food are minimal. As a local resident of Tokyo who's been researching of how to maximize the utility of living in Tokyo, I can give some tips to those who are coming to the city on how you can spend less money, and still get the qualities that the city of Tokyo offers throughout this website. However, before you jump into conclusions, I think you should read what Tokyo is like, which makes the travel much more enjoyable.
Reading a travel book gives you a good description of what to do in Tokyo, but the experience you will have in Tokyo does not exactly match to your expectation. Every person has their own interpretation of Tokyo. "Lost in Translation" filmed in 2003 directed by Sofia Coppola have a great description of the city. Two people without any common besides being foreigners in Tokyo, a celebrity man in mid-life crisis and a pretty young woman whose boyfriend would rather spend time with his camera than her met each other in a stylish bar in Tokyo. They both don't speak Japanese. They both didn't know what to do in the city besides sleeping or exercising. They were both feeling lost in the city. But then they start exploring the city and at the same time discovering themselves. Also they share an "indefinable strange bonding" with each other. If you want much less complicated and PG-13 version, you should look for an Academy awarded animation movie "Spirited Away" by Hayao Miyazaki.
No matter how you expect what is like being in Tokyo, you will never know until you get here. Therefore, my recommendation for you is maybe just to jump in and lose yourself in Tokyo. Get yourself drawn in the culture of drinking and neon lights. You might see someone as lost as you are, and maybe he/she might be the one that you have an "indefinable strange bonding" with.
After being a Tokyo resident for almost two years, I concluded that Tokyo is composed of mixed contradicting characters. Traditional and new-age. Conservative and open-minded. Mass conformity and individualism. Quiet and loud. Rich and poor. Love and hate. S&M…etc. All the elements are intertwined and living together creating one unique giant city that you never see anywhere else in the world. Inside soulless forms of concrete apartment buildings closely standing next to each other, most of people are making their own living. Average 20~30 square meters space of one studio apartment, people are living by themselves or with their partners. Meanwhile, a handful percentage of people (expatriates, Japanese celebrities and etc…) are living in two bedrooms modern apartment in central part of Tokyo spending $5000 per month. (According to Mercer's cost of living research.)
If you go through the city along with the circle of Yamanote-line of train, you will already see different characteristics. East around Ueno / Asakusa is a zone of Japanese tradition and culture. Most of well-known Japanese museum can be found in this area. After your visit to this area, you may never go back to think that Japanese are quiet. At Ameyoko market street in Ueno, passing through the crowd being squeezed, you see people at each booth yelling to get attention from passengers. If you go to Asakusa at night, you see a street filled by outside pubs where people are sitting on a improvised chair in front of a barrel table talking loud, and of course mostly drunk. This is the traditional local culture of Japan. If you go down alittle bit on Yamanote-line, Akihabara's electric city is a well-known "Otaku" place where technology and anime fans gather up and geek themselves out with each other. Even more south, Ginza, located near financial districts around Tokyo station, is a place for high-end boutique stores, nice restaurants and high-class hostess clubs, which have remained since even before the Japanese booming economy in 80′s.
In west side, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku area, you will be soaked in the new-age Japanese contemporary culture. In Harajuku, you will see Goth and Lolita girls in their antique wicked clothes standing out and passing by through the popular fashionista street, Takeshita-dori. Between Harajuku and Shibuya, there is Yoyogi park where diverse people gather for common activities such as Guiter playing, Dram rythming and Techno dancing. You can also visit beautiful Meiji-shrine, and feel the scale of old Japanese temple. As you are walking through the big gateway Torii, and going deep in the gravel road surrounded by side trees, you are getting carried back to the world of Shinto. In Shinjuku, the most notorious place is a red-light district called Kabuki-cho. You see Japanese young men in suit with mismatchingly light brown-colored long hair. They are not Japanese business men. They are male hostess looking for girls who buy fantasies that is being surrounded by fine young men.
In northern part of Tokyo, Ikebukuro, Sugamo and Komagome, you might notice that they are more residential than any other locations. Many people who want to avoid high cost of living, but still want to be close to central part of the city live in this area. As this area grew into more residential, it developed local's most common interest: eating. Ikebukuro is often considered as a default gateway to suburbia as it is close to the next prefecture, Saitama. Sunshine-city mall has a "nanja-town" that constitutes from a few different food museums such as Gyoza (Potsticker) Stadium, Ice Cream museum and Dessert city where you can find more kinds of gyoza and sweets than you can ever imagine. Take a JR Yamanote-line and get off at Sugamo station. There's a street called "Jizo-dori Shotengai." This street is popular among older generation as they have good street food and a Koganji-shrine which is known to pray for good health and long life.
If you walk around southern part of Tokyo such as Roppongi, Ebisu, Akasaka and Omotesando, you can see the expatriates life of Tokyo. On the cleanest streets, modern glass-covered buildings are displaying Louis Vuitton, BMW and all other western luxury brands advertisements. Inside, they have stylish bars and lovely cafe with artistic design of cakes. Fancy restaurant has a selection of bottle wine which cost from $300 to unlimited price. You see the international crowds, but you may still not be sure if you are part of it or not. In Roppongi, Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown are well-known shopping centers where you can enjoy shopping overpriced chocolate or designer furniture and clothes.
Thus even by the locations, Tokyo has wild mixed characters. And there is no designated definition of Tokyoite because most of the people who claim themselves are originally from outside of Tokyo (I am the exhibit A). You will see from international people to conservative Japanese. Some people seem really cold-hearted and impolite. They might even carry out ignorant misbehavior, that leave you speechless such as pushing you on a crowded train and saying "your ass is interfering my mobile reception." But you also see the greatest people that may become love of your life. My friend said something heart-melting the other day when he seemed frozen outside without jacket and offered one from my another friend. "It's warmer not to be around heater, but to be around heart." That's the nature of this city. Moment to moment, you will never know what is going to happen. For those who are coming to Tokyo, I really wish that you have a great time in Tokyo. By great time, I mean extraordinary and surrealistic that brings new wind to your life. And when you leave the city, I hope that you realize yourself being different from who you were before. That's the beauty of being in Tokyo. By losing yourself, you may find something new about yourself.

Gear Review
good as ever, and customizable
these bars are great! I recommend buying them long if you're not sure on length, with an angle grinder, or sawsall, trimming an inch or two is easy, and if you start big, then get the rocketbox and bike mount up, then figure how much to trim. Remember, you only have to trim one end to get the desired length.

Bluesman Bobby 'Blue' Bland remembered by friends
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Full, sweet and melodious at one moment, powerful and primal in another, the iconic singing voice of the late Bobby "Blue" Bland was remembered by fans, friends and colleagues on Monday.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson told The Associated Press on Monday that he and his wife went to a Bland concert on the day they were married in 1962. Jackson called Bland a dear friend who was a "legendary, smooth balladeer."
"He found sweetness in bitter roots," Jackson said by telephone from Chicago. "He found good news in the blues and was the interpreter of pain. He turned pain and sorrow into joy."
Bland died Sunday in Memphis due to complications from an ongoing illness, according to his son. He was 83.
Described by friends and relatives as classy and compassionate, the tall, wide-shouldered Bland is in the Blues Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He blended Southern blues and soul in songs such as "Turn on Your Love Light" and "Further On Up the Road," notching more than 20 R&B hits in a career that lasted more than a half-century.
Though not as well-known as Ray Charles or B.B. King, he was an influence of scores of rock n' rollers, including Gregg Allman, David Bowie and Eric Clapton. Bland was one of the last of the living connections to the roots of the blues genre.
King was too saddened by Bland's death to comment publicly on Monday, spokeswoman Laverne Toney said.
"He's taking it very hard," she said
Bland was friends with King, having served as the blues guitarist's valet and chauffer at one point. They started the Beale Streeters, named after the thoroughfare and cradle of blues music in downtown Memphis. Upon his induction, the Rock Hall of Fame noted Bland was "second in stature only to B.B. King as a product of Memphis' Beale Street blues scene."
Bland scored his first No. 1 on the R&B charts with "Further On Up the Road" in 1957 and it was around this time he got his nickname, taken from his song "Little Boy Blue" because his repertoire focused so closely on lovelorn subject matter. He also had the nicknames "the Lion of the Blues" and "the Sinatra of the blues."
Beginning with "I'll Take Care of You" in early 1960, Bland released a dozen R&B hits. That string included "Turn On Your Love Light" in 1961.
Some of his best-known songs included "Call on Me" and "That's the Way Love Is," both released in 1963, and "Ain't Nothing You Can Do" in 1964.
Al Bell, the former producer and executive at the seminal Stax Records, said Bland's voice was versatile enough to handle non-blues classics such as "Somewhere over the Rainbow." Bell produced albums for Bland after his Stax days.
"Bobby Bland, I never heard another voice like his," said Bell, who has worked with singers like Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave and the Staple Sisters. "You're talking about one of a kind."
Jackson, who said he spoke with Bland last week by telephone, cited "Cry, cry, cry," as one of his favorites. In that song, Bland's voice emphatically makes a point: "I want you to cry, cry me a river/I want you to, yes I want you to cry me a sea/Yes, I know someone's going to hurt you/Just like you've been hurting me."
Bland's performance of "Stormy Monday Blues" was the highlight of the Memphis Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony last November.
In a written statement, The Recording Academy said the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner "seamlessly blended a mix of blues, country, gospel, jazz and pop music to create his unique sound."
"He was a stylistic pioneer who influenced countless musicians across many genres, with a career spanning nearly eight decades," said Neil Portnow, president and CEO of The Recording Academy.
Bland's funeral is scheduled Thursday in Memphis.

Calls seem to be slowly building for California to have a constitutional convention in order to fix what some see as problems in the state's current governing structure that cannot help but lead to financial difficulties. See, e.g., here.
That may ultimately be necessary, but Californians may want to bear in mind that such a convention could--and, given the likely membership of said convention, probably would--not only remove Prop 8 from the CA constitution; but also make it far more difficult for a similar amendment to be made in the future.
People with strong feelings about Prop 8--either positive or negative--will want to watch this one carefully.

It is a growing concerned for the 'ill willed' souls who voices are a minority one always seeking to push their own agenda vice the majority voice. As I do concur with President Packer outlook for the next few years, it will grow worse as the darkened clouds will surround this nation and the minions of Lucifer will reign over the lives of those who oppose the servants of the Lord. In the end, they will be removed for the good of the FATHER and HIS Son, in answering the prayers of the righteous.

I'm personally for this convention, even if it's made up of a lot of people I typically don't agree with. I've always been of the opinion that democracy doesn't make something automatically right, and I don't think the government should have anything to do with marriage nor should marriage come to a vote.
Posted 16 June 2009 - 06:56 AM
For Californians who may not know, this is where you will find personal agendas from those who are considered the minorities of the state, placed them before the attendees seeking a passage of such. Frightening as it is, I whole heartedly agree with your statement. '...democracy doesn't make something automatically right.' This maybe a convention where it will not serve the greater public. Nor being a politician, would always served the interest of the voters.

Yeah, I mean democracy is in much of the middle east, and see what happens with it there. Democracy needs to be built upon society that values well, freedom and individual dignity, or else its just going to produce a lot well, nasty stuff. There's parts in the US that would vote to re institute racial segregation if given the vote.

More Fed, from an interview with the Wall Street Journal:
How much does Mirka sacrifice to make all this happen?
Its all me for her. I admire her every day that she is willing to do this. I tell her, I think you should take a week here or a week there, take care of yourself a bit more, because you are putting in an incredible amount of work here. But she says, Look, Im not happy when youre not around. And thats as good as it gets for me, and Im obviously also not the same person when she and the kids are not around. So we try to manage it. Its good to have a balance. We try to make it work that we have time by ourselves, time with the family, time with our friends in this busy, busy life that we live.
How much have you been apart?
The last three years, maybe three weeks, maybe four? Really not much, so I consider myself so, so fortunate that thats the case. And of course that we have the means to make it work with the girls, so Im happy and feel fortunate.

Following an urgent question placed to the minister in the Assembly today on this issue, Mr Ó hOisín said:
"The jobs losses at the DVA office in Coleraine were a huge blow to local people who fought a long campaign to have the jobs retained at the site.
"This campaign was completely ignored by the British Roads Minister highlighting the value that Westminster places on job creation and retention within the north of Ireland.
"It reinforces the need for the Assembly to have financial powers.
"When pressed on this point and the nature of the discussions that the British Roads Minister had with both the current Minster of the Environment Mark Durkan, and his predecessor Alex Attwood, in relation to transferring the powers of DVA to the local Assembly, he was vague at the best.
"There was no acknowledgement by Mark Durkan of the loss of £22m from the local economy, or the costing of what it would take to control the DVA locally.
"There question remains on how much pressure was placed upon the British Roads Minister by the two successive SDLP ministers to transfer these powers to the Assembly, which would have protected these jobs into the future."

Dana White on Jon Fitch, Expects 100 More Fighter Cuts to Come Soon I UFC News
UFC president Dana White met with the media following today's UFC 157 pre-fight press conference and shared his thoughts on the release of welterweight contender Jon Fitch and why we should all expect many more cuts to come in the foreseeable future. Here's what he had to say:
"Jon Fitch is ranked number 9 right now. But he was ranked number one, fought for the title, then he was ranked #2, #3, #6, #7 and now he's #9. That's called the downside of your career. He's lost two fights, one draw and won 1 fight [in his last four bouts]. Jon Fitch can go out now and he can make some money. He gets paid a lot of money to be put on a prelim. He can get a couple more fights and come back to the UFC, it happens every day, all the time. It's not that he was on this incredible win streak. He has never won a title in his life. I don't have one ounce of hate for Jon Fitch, I don't even dislike him. I like Jon Fitch. He can go out on the free market and find out exactly what he's worth. He will end up somewhere else and if he keeps winning, he will come back. And if does land up somewhere else, he will become a champion, nobody will beat him in any other organization.
We have 470-something guys on contract, ok? We have over 100 guys too many on the roster right now. The blood has not all been spilled yet. There's more coming. There's 100 more guys that are going to go.
We are only as good as our last fight. All of us. Me, the UFC and the fighters, we all feel it, when you have a bad fight and you go on a skid, it's not good for any of us."

Its funny how this guy justifies the firing of so many people. Hardy 4 fight losing streak, and got finished to guys who weren't even top 10. Akiyama I cant even remember the last time he won a fight. Fucking lenord Garcia, I dont understand why they keep him either. Fitch loses to Hendricks, thats fair enough, but Hendricks has been recently knocking everyone out. He had a bad night against, Maia dominated him, but he still didnt deserve the cut. Dana is a dumbass he is arguing about how fitch is on the downside and is ranked #9 currently and all that but, UFC keeps guys who are on insane losing streaks that arnt even ranked. Yeh Fitch is lay and pray this and that but Chael sonnen is no different he does the same shit, he is just exciting cuz he has a big mouth. Fuck Dana White, he is a blatant piece of shit. I would rather have him say "yeh we fired Fitch cuz we dont like him", then make up excuses and justify the wrong they did to a guy who is 14-3-1 by stripping him of his job. No matter how boring Fitch maybe, he didnt deserve it. He also talks about Fitch never winning a title, WTF does that have to do with him being cut?? This bald headed mother fucking tyrant I dont know how he can sleep at nights knowing he and his company stripped so many people of their jobs. Yet this hypocrite piece of shit justifies his wrong doings.
He has to weigh the showmanship vs. the talent sometimes… to keep the business aspect going. It's a double edged sword though, I would pay to watch some fighters regardless of their technical rank… like Chris Leban, but I can't stand watching other fighters despite their high ranking. It has to have a business side, after all it's sold on entertainment… and because of that true fans like you and I get to see these events on the big screens… in our living rooms or our favorite hang outs.
Jake Shields is another wrestler who is extremely boring. Shields vs GSP, Shields vs Herman, and Shields vs Kampmann were all extremely boring fights. Shields is also 2-3 in his last 5 fights. He still isnt cut, im not saying he should be but u get the point im saying. I think Dana white plays favoritism with alot of fighters, its very apperant with giving title shots to people who are undeserving and as of most recent now playing favoritism with cutting people. I use to be a huge fan of Dana White until I learned his ass kissing favoritism towards certain fighters.
Couldn't agree more. Shields is boring as hell to watch. I'm with you on the favoritism too. Maybe he is looking ahead for the female MMA boom that's happening as well. Still… 470 current fighters is a LOT, and UFC has to be feeling the economy crunch like most other companies. Entertainment industries are often the first to feel pain in tough times.
He talked about Viacom having so much money and they should pay their fighters this and that. But this mother fucker owns the most hottest MMA organization and can't pay Fitch his maybe 100k salary?? I think UFC has plenty of money they bought strike force for $40 million, and they can't pay Fitch his 100k that is so weird. Brandon Vera had one exciting fight with shogun and thats it, rest of his fights as of late he got dominated and destroyed like none other. They still keep him around. But its dissapointing to me cuz I use to be a huge fan of Dana and now I learned how much of a prick he is. Freaken Brandon Vera has a bigger salary then Fitch I looked it up on fighter pay thing he made 120k from his fight with elliot marshall. Yet they think Fitch is expensive, he is boring, but lets be honest it is a pretty unfair scummy dirty move.
Call it what you want but Jon Fitch cut was undeserving.
Perhaps… But personally I never liked watching Fitch fight. That's just my opinion though.
Was never really a Fitch fan, although his Silva fight was pretty good, but I gotta agree with you. Dana can kick out all the bs excuses he wants, but this was undeserving. I feel like he's trying to insult my intelligence by trying to make me believe otherwise
Fitch wasn't earning his keep no asses in the seat for what they pay him im pretty sure all the people keep talking about who haven't yet will in the future
Lets get a cut chael sonnen petition going talk about lay n pray get him out the door!!!!!!! Even Fitch would whoop his ass.
let's cut you instead, out of this conversation. Sonnen's fighting style is alot more entertaining then fitch, also he is funny as hell when interviewed and he promotes fights like a prize fighter. For sure he couldn't "whoop his ass"
Theres a huge difference between Fitch and Sonnen. Yes Sonnen is widely more marketable but lay and pray? He at least has some offense on the ground and standing up. You did watch Chael knockdown Anderson with boxing multiple times right? Now Fitch, how do you start a fight and less then 30 seconds in have your back taken while standing? Also with all of the wrestling credentials he's attained youd think he'd be able to actually defend a double leg from a non wrestler. His skills are declining and when on top on the ground the guy doesnt even try to advance into better position. How can you sell fights or if you're Fitch, win fights, when you're the one trick pony in the continuously growing talent pool of the UFC?
It must be hard for Dana to have to look some of his best fighters in the eye and say "thanks for coming out but your services are no longer required". On the other hand why do fans watch UFC?? Because they want to see the best of the best not some lame ass excuse for a fighter. Nobody want to pay to see the worst of the worlds fighters least of all fans at home who order the events on Pay Per View. I say if you are sliding in the game either leave of your own free will or expect to have the axe come down on you cause you take the energy and excitement out of the UFC by letting not only the fans but others who would kill to be in your position down.
We can say all we want about who deserves to be cut and who doesn't, based on their skill. As others have commented, it's just not all about that. I daresay, it's not even what's most important. The draw is. If you put on boring fights, which almost every single Fitch fight is, you lose the draw. I would be fine if I never saw Fitch fight again. On the other hand, I'm always excited to see Dan Hardy fight. I like GSP, because he's just so damn good. He's pretty boring too, but he's just so damn good, it makes up for it.
At the end of the day, this is a business. Corporations have to do what's best for the corporation. That's actually a part of corporate law. John Fitch fights do not put asses in seats. They put people to sleep. If you're going to put people to sleep, you need to be undefeated. Have an exciting fighting style, be interesting out of the ring, but don't be a dud in both areas. I'm happy to see him go from an entertainment perspective, but it's a shame for him.
The only time I enjoyed a Fitch fight was when he fought Penn and GSP. I will not miss him in the UFC. 100 fighters… I wonder who…
Bottom line, who's the boss? Finally the UFC is realizing who sells fights..Stay tuned cause a lot more cuts are coming soon, lot of UFC fighters in vegas are squeezing their butt cheeks right now, anyways farewell & best of luck Jon (smoke break) Fitch…
Never thought I'd say this, but I'm kind of "UFC'd out."
I work nights on some nights, days on others. I came home, and while surfing I caught a Bellator fight.
Bellator is not the giant UFC is,probably never will be. But I have to say I was entertained watching an MMA fight. I enjoyed the simple fight. Not once did I think, "Why is this guy fighting that guy? He hasn't earned it?"
I haven't enjoyed a UFC fight in a long time (that didn't include BJ Penn.
Oh well.
I just ran into this on cagepotato.com
"You're telling me that Fitch, who's already had a better career than 90 percent of active welterweights, and who's been with the same organization for more than seven years, has priced himself out of a job with $66,000 in show money? Seriously? Take away taxes, training expenses, his management's cut, and all the other miscellaneous stuff that eats into a fighter's pay, and that's not a ton of take-home cash for a night of professional cage fighting. If that's too much for a guy like Fitch, most other fighters should go ahead and start working on that law school application right now because the future is grim."
WOW! Good points from Ben Fowlkes at mma junkie
Nobody wants to watch fitch. His style is boring. That is what it comes down to. His draw is weak and he does not bring in as much money.
Ben Fowlkes telling people to go to law school? I mean telling fighters to go to law school? What a dumbass…
Fitch has done this to himself. Big deal, he can whine and cry but in the end he is no better than the man who makes $40,000 a year and supports his family with that.
Bet a union is looking pretty good about now.

Bacchae (tour)
Editorial Staff • West End • 4 Oct 2004
This new version, by writers Carl Grose and Anna Maria Murphy, is stuffed with resonances. Some are unlooked-for and puzzlingly a little unwelcome. The design, by Bill Mitchell - a tall, scaffolding cube with ladders, ropes and pulleys laying bare and celebrating the theatre as a tool of story-telling - recalls the (admittedly more elaborate but similarly celebratory) set of Improbable Theatre's Hanging Man; as does the tentative, embarrassed entry of the weird chorus to start the play, and later the hanging figure of Dionysus upstage centre.
Other resonances, though, are entirely welcome and are rooted deep in the long and fertile culture of pan-European theatre. As befits a company from Cornwall, where the UK's two oldest theatrical sites are to be found, the production is grounded in rough theatre and much by-play with the audience (Kneehigh has become what its Cornish predecessor, Footsbarn, ought to have become but was too intellectually lazy). Most exciting, however, it shows the clear influence - perhaps for the first time in the British theatre - of Wlodzimierz Staniewski's Gardzienice theatre company in Poland with its often violently exciting physicality, its use of ritual and music and, at one point, hand-held lighting. Director Emma Rice's time in Poland was clearly a seminal experience.
Ah yes, the plot. As the Bacchae - here a camp sextet of topless chaps in rehearsal frocks, full of merry japes and generally more recognisable as a chorus to Ivor Novello than to Euripides, one would think - explain, with the help of blackboard and chalk diagrams, it's all a bit complicated. Suffice it to say that Dionysus, son of Zeus but with a human mother (so not generally recognised as a god), returns to Thebes to avenge the murder of his mother that took place at the time of his birth. To do this he gets all the townswomen partying and seduces the mother of King Pentheus, one of the murderesses, to such ecstasy that she kills her own son. Dionysus sends her in torment on her way with "It would have been better if you had never been born" echoing in her ears. It inevitably loses something in the foreshortening.
We are left guessing by a less than informative (but disgracefully expensive) programme as to individual performances, but it seems clear that the manic, menacingly laconic Dionysus of Robert Lucskay and the superbly controlled queen mother of Eva Magyar - from frosty queen mother to abandoned whore - head an excellent ensemble production. Precisely why the ladies of The Bacchae are played as a bunch of effeminates remains a mystery; but they are very entertaining. And the whole is a glorious celebration of the European tradition of theatre in all its depth.
- Ian Watson (reviewed at West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds)

Lawrence County Sheriff Jeff Lawless was awaiting an autopsy report from the Franklin County Coroner's Office Monday.
Lawless said his office is continuing an investigation into the death of an inmate that occurred on Saturday.
Steven J. Conley, 23, of Kitts Hill, Ohio, had complained of an illness early Saturday morning and the Lawrence County EMS was contacted. The squad transported the inmate to St. Mary's Hospital in Ironton where he was pronounced dead.
Lawrence County Coroner Dr. Kurt Hofmann sent Conley's body to Franklin County for an autopsy around 4 p.m. Saturday. That autopsy was expected to be conducted on Monday.
"We hope to have some preliminary results from the autopsy within a few days," Lawless said. "However, a complete autopsy will not be ready for several weeks."
Lawless said, as in all cases, such as this one, he has requested an independent investigation to be conducted by the Buckeye State Sheriff's Association.

Acustic Celler Acustic Montsant 2007
Other Red Blends from Jumilla, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
This acoustic ( unplugged ) wine is based on the wisdom of the ancient vineyards of Garnacha and Samsó (Carinena) and the old tradition of winemaking from the ancient vine growers.
It is an acoustic wine, sensitive from the roots of these ancient vineyards. A wine that wants to express and emphasize the quality and singularity of these wonderful old native vineyards most of them from 40 to 65 years old.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2007 Acústic is a blend of 55% Samso (Carinena) and 45% Garnacha aged for 10 to 11 months in seasoned French oak. Purple-colored, it offers up an alluring perfume of smoke, mineral, underbrush, blueberry, and black cherry. This is followed by a full-bodied wine with tons of blue and black fruit, spice and mineral notes, and enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years. It should be at its best from 2010 to 2018. It is an excellent introduction to the style of the region."

About Jumilla(hue-MILL-ah)
Notable FactsThe grape Monestrell (known as Mourvedre in France) is making an impact here, taking up over 80% of the vineyard land and producing wines of dense fruit and spice character. It snagged the common partner syrah for blending, as well as the international grape, Merlot. Monestrell takes well to the flat vineyards and rocky soils that retain heat. The red wines from Jumilla are full-bodied wines with flavors of black fruits and plums. Rosés of the Monestrell grape are refreshing and fruity.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Why Conserve?
Keep in mind that the water supplies we depend on are not an endless resource. For one thing, drought conditions are a part of life here in North Texas. And the number of people living in our region is expected to double in the next 50 years. That means the demand for water will certainly rise. But meeting those new demands will be a challenge.
That's why water conservation is becoming so important. In fact, plans call for 28 percent of our future water supplies to come from conservation and water reuse. That's smart—because the alternatives are limited and expensive. If you and your family make a real effort to save water that will help us all stretch our water resources—and our dollars—as far as possible. It's a simple choice. Why not start today?
Amazing water facts:
In the United States, a typical American uses an average of 101 gallons of water per day; the average European uses 53 gallons. (Source: EPA)
The average American annual household water use is 127,400 gallons, which is about 350 gallons per day. H2O ouch! (Source: EPA)
It takes about 2,500 gallons to put an inch of water on a 4,000 square-foot yard. Doing that every five to seven days from June through September adds another 40,000-60,000 gallons to your water bill, at a cost of about $30-$45 a month.
Letting your faucet run for five minutes uses about as much electricity as a 60-watt light bulb does in 14 hours.
Of the 345 billion gallons Americans use daily less than 3 percent is used for drinking; 41 percent is devoted to agriculture; 39 percent is consumed by power plants. (Source: EPA)

Dr. Parker (Associate Professor, Latin American History) began his term as the new department chair in July. Dr. Parker's research specialty is urban social history. During the summer months, he continued his research on culture of dueling in Latin America, and gave a talk in Argentina at the Institute of Economic and Social Development on the history of the Latin American middle class.
Dr. Parker succeeds Dr. Richard Greenfield after a long and successful stewardship of the department. Professor Greenfield is on leave in 2009-10 but continues to supervise MA students working on Byzantine history and to prepare an edition and translation of the Greek Life of St. Symeon the Theologian. He and his wife, Dr. Anne M. Foley (Classics), have recently returned from Istanbul, Turkey, where they had been invited to give a talk at Bogazici University concerning their new archeological project on Mt.

Emirates has warned that its appetite for further new aircraft orders depends on long-term infrastructure constraints being overcome, following its order for 30 Boeing 777s.
The Farnborough order takes the airline's firm 777-300ER commitments to 71 aircraft, and comes on top of a contract agreed with Airbus last month to increase its A380 orders by 32 aircraft to 90.
These aircraft will be used for growth and to replace the 68 older A330/A340s and 777s that the airline is to start phasing out next year. Delivery of the newly ordered -300ERs will be interspersed with the remaining 18 777s on backlog, with deliveries due to begin in September next year.
However, Emirates Airline boss Tim Clark says that the new A380 and 777 orders, combined with the airline's existing 777 commitments and 70 A350-900/1000s, effectively brings the current fleet expansion and replacement plan to a close.
"Physical constraints are the single largest inhibitors to Emirates' growth - these include what airports can take the A380, how quickly the Dubai hub can be built to match our expansion, and airspace management issues," says Clark. "If it hadn't been for those inhibitors we would have made much larger orders for expansion over the next 10 years."
Clark says that an immediate benefit of Emirates' huge June A380 deal has prompted "around 20 airports to contact us and say, 'We now realise you are absolutely serious about what you are doing, we'll make our airfields compliant. Will you come here?' Some of these are in the UK and some in continental Europe - so in some respects that part of the jigsaw is being sorted out".

My post looking for cranberry couscous recipes has disappeared, and I didn't print out all the recipes :(
Would everyone who posted recipes for me mind posting them again??
Next time, I'll print out the recipes right away!!
If you like pine nuts, try throwing some of those in as well.
I made the cranberry couscous again. I cut back on the honey (about 2 tbsp instead of 3), and added the juice of one lime, as well as the juice of one lemon and the orange juice concentrate. I didn't have any chick peas, so I put in chopped green peppers (as well as the red peppers the recipe calls for) and chopped cucumber instead. It came out really good -- I prefer the tangier dressing.
I wonder how mandarin oranges would work in the couscous....
jenjen, next time I'm going to try adding some raisins and cinnamon, from the recipe that you posted.
Whew!! I thought it was bad enough that the latest board renovations made my second star go away -- but losing the cranberry couscous recipes is unacceptable!!!!
Thank you both!!

Mac Pro 1.1 Upgrading
I've recently purchased a Mac Pro 1.1, one of the Xeon 64-bit workstations. First Macintosh I've personally owned and it's a beauty.
I'm already planning on boosting the processors from the Intel Xeon 2.66Ghz dual cores to the 3Ghz quad core counterparts.
I'm having some trouble finding a suitable graphics card though, the information I've found online is pretty convoluted. Can anyone suggest a graphics upgrade that would speed up 3D rendering in programs such as After Effects and MaxMSP please?
Currently running 2x NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256mb
G'day and welcome to the forums felix.
The 7300GT's were a beast of a card with a high failure rate. Best I found in Mac Pro days was either a flashed ATI Radeon HD4870 with 1GB memory or the later 5700/5800 series. Not too cheap though.
The best CPU upgrade for your Mac Pro is the Bloomfield 5500 series 2.66GHz. If you Google replace Mac Pro CPU's you will find directions at sites such as MacRumours. Do not worry about the original 3GHz CPU's as the upgrade is not noticeable.
Sufficient memory is next, suggest with what you want to do 12/16GB, and an SSD will be the biggest bang for your buck.
Remember whilst your Mac Pro may be 64bit, the EFI is 32 bit, so Lion OS X.7 is the final operating system you can install natively with making your Mac Pro a Hackintosh.
Thanks for the advice!
Yeah I've noticed that, even if I have it running with the 64bit kernel extensions it still doesn't want to update
Would a processor upgrade (a drastic one) change that?
what is considered a "mackintosh?
I've own a mac pro 1.1.I've upgraded the memory to 18 gb.have a matching pair of 5160's at 3.0 ghz. and have a sapphire ati radeon 5770 hd on the way.I've read a lot on this beast,and bought it for an audio only computer for my recording hobby.If I put the ati radeon card in is it a Hackintosh?Not that I'm worried about updates,because I'm at lion 7.5.Thats as far as this machine will go with out hacking.I've read about people getting maverics to work on it,and this interests me because I'd love to get logic pro 10,but the transport won't work properly in lion.I've given up on pc's after my vista,and windows 7 were destroyed by viruses even with good antivirus protection.This computer will not be online once I get it finished and working the way I want it.Without buying a new mac pro am I spinning my wheels?Or will it be what I want?It already blows the doors of my 3.0 ghz amd dual core pc running cakewalk.
If you don't need to get on the internet…if you don't need any further updated apps that require more than OS 10.7.5…and if you don't need apps that need newer hardware…then you can run this computer forever!:)
But if (at some point in the future) you do need a newer OS version…do need newer apps…want to use newer peripherals…or you want to sync an iPhone or iPad with the computer…then you may run into some hurdles.
- Nick
Just remember not all hacks to make the Mac Pros 1.1 and 2.1 models work with OS X.8 and later are successful. There is a risk involved of making a kellick!
Yes I agree.Thats why 10.7.5 is as far as my mac pro will go.That being said it still kicks the *** off any PC I ever owned.It will work for the next couple of years.

This tea is no longer available and has been archived. There are no current plans to offer it again in the future.
Pictured above, Mrs. He and David Duckler holding fresh-picked Laoshan tea
It is exciting to offer this freshly-picked autumn harvest of Mr and Mrs He's flat-pressed Laoshan Green. Last year's picking had a unique taste that could only be described as bananas foster or butter rum Lifesavers. If you have enjoyed any other Laoshan teas, this one is worth picking up. The flat-pressing dramatically changes the flavor of Laoshan green, bringing out more juicy sweetness, and mineral notes.
Steeped up, the beautiful fresh leaves dance in the cup, and release a rich, potent citrus sweetness. The texture is crisp like the mineral note sof Dragonwell, but moves quickly into grassy green bean flavor and mouth watering texture. This innovative tea from the He family is absolutely worth picking up to compare to traditional Shi Feng Dragonwell.
The He family tea fields in Laoshan Village, autumn 2012
We work to get our fresh green teas and Tieguanyins on a plane as soon after picking as we can and spare no expense in our rush air shipping so that you can experience teas like this one at the peak of their potency.
Date of Picking:Mid-Autumn 2012
Location of Picking:Ocean-facing slope of Laoshan Mountain in Laoshan Village, Shandong Province He Family Farm 15-20 acre plot fed by the mountain spring running down from the rock face of Laoshan.
What Was Picked:Young leaf material with buds wilted in bamboo baskets, dried over a carefully trended wood fire and pressed flat.
Quantity Acquired:We only acquired twelve pounds of this harvest
Sourcing Agent(s):David Duckler, after spending months in Laoshan Village on a tea research grant.
Brewing Dragonwell Style Laoshan Green
Western Brewing: Use one teaspoon of leaves per cup of water. If possible, use a glass tea pot or brewing pitcher to enjoy the performance of the leaves as they unfurl and begin to dance around. Steep for 1.5 minutes with 175 degree water, or until most of the leaves have sunk to the bottom of the vessel. If you don't have a thermometer, just wait for the smallest bubbles to start coming up, and the water will be ready. Enjoy at least 3 infusions
Gongfu Brewing: Do not heat your gaiwan. Add 3 grams of leaves for a medium gaiwan. Use 175 degree water. No need for a rinse. Steep for 4 seconds. Increase steep time after the third steeping by 3 seconds or to taste. Enjoy at least 6 infusions. Try to leave a bit of water in the gaiwan to cover the leaves between each steeping.
Laoshan Style: Cover the bottom of a tempered glass tumbler with leaves. Pour 175 degree water along the edge of the glass so that it does not splash over the leaves, but slowly submerges them. Drink as soon as you can handle the hot cup. Refill with boiling water throughout the day.
Jingshan Style: Boil water to 175 degrees, or until the smallest bubbles start rising to the surface. Fill a tempered glass cup or teapot 2/3 full with the water. Sprinkle 1TB of leaves per 8oz of water used in the vessel. Swirl lightly and watch the leaves slowly unfurl and sink. Drink right out of the cup, blowing the leaves to the side, and experience the tea first very light, and then stronger as it continues to steep.
For green tea, filtered water is preferred. Being lighter, and also more grassy, the tea has a tendency to get overwhelmed by hard water taste, or have bitter notes brought out.
"Those who approach high quality tea from a business perspective first will forever have doors closed to them. Those whose relationships are based on an equal cultural exchange are welcomed...
"Tea is first and foremost a humbling experience in China. Even the particularities of the tea ceremony itself are meant to preserve not obscure this humble quality...
"I love preparing any green tea this way as it shows off the beauty of the leaves by keeping them in motion throughout the steeping process...
