Farm system overview
The Orioles' system had dropped after a wave of promotions, including Matt Wieters and a passel of starting pitching prospects who have taken a few years to boost the big-league rotation. The 2012 season saw a big uptick in the value of what they had left in the minors --- Dylan Bundy emerged as the minors' best pitching prospect in 2012, while their first pick from last year's draft, Kevin Gausman, was one of the hottest names in Florida instructional league in September.
Several lower-round picks from 2012 also impressed in their pro debuts. They'd rank higher had Manny Machadonot lost his rookie eligibility in September, although it's a testament to how good he is that he could hold his own in the majors while learning a new position. Look for him to break out offensively in the next two seasons.
2013 impact
Bundy could help the team in long relief or in the rotation, depending on their long-term plan for him, which I hope involves letting him throw his wipeout cutter. LJ Hoes could surface in a bench role as a pinch hitter and reserve corner outfielder.
Nineteenth-rounder Josh Hader, a prep lefty out of a Maryland high school, added about 5 mph after signing, sitting 91-92 and touching 94 in two-inning stints in short-season ball, with a clean delivery from a low three-quarters slot and the ability to get to the breaking ball and changeup. Ninth-rounder Brady Wager, drafted out of Grand Canyon University, has a power sinker at 92-94 with a plus slider at 85-87 and could move very quickly as a reliever.

POTSDAM - The village has received a $126,000 grant from the state to pay for the installation of a jet fuel pump at the Potsdam Municipal Airport.
The airport already sells standard aviation fuel, but not the more costly jet fuel used by the Lifenet helicopters stationed there and other commercial aircraft.
The village plans to sell the fuel at a 15 percent markup. It will put the project out to bid soon.

The Target coupon matchups and deals on In Good Cents are good nationwide. Target releases a new Target ad each Sunday and sales are good through Saturday. In addition to the Target ad you may get to your home, make sure you vie the online Target ad for more items on sale in your area. Not everything on sale is included in the Target ad you receive at your home.
Target Coupon Policy
You can find the nationwide Target coupon policy online. Print an official copy of all of the Target Coupon Policies for your area to keep in your coupon holder to help you (and your cashier) when needed.
Coupons are a great way to save even more when shopping with us, and it's easy to use them at our stores. When accepting coupons, we follow the guidelines below.
Manufacturer and Target Coupons:
- Target accepts one Manufacturer Coupon and one Target Coupon for the same item (unless prohibited by either coupon).

Target Price Matching Policy
Target does match local compeititor prices as long as it's within the Target price match policy.
How does price matching work?
If you find an item in a competitor's printed ad that is priced lower than it is at your Target store, we will match the price. The competitor's ad must be local and current, and the product must be the identical item, brand name, quantity and model number. Target.com is excluded from our price matching policy. Competitor catalogs can also be ad matched as long as the catalog displays a valid date and meets all other qualifications.
What if I've already made the purchase at Target?
No problem. Within seven days of purchase, bring your Target receipt and the competitor 's current printed ad. We will reimburse the savings to you.
What qualifies as proof of a competitor's advertisement?
Please show us the entire printed advertisement. Photos, photocopies, or mobile phone versions of the ad cannot be accepted as verification of competitive pricing.
What does 'identical store item' mean?
The program covers items with the identical brand name, size, weight, quantity and model number of the item at Target stores. We reserve the right to verify a competitor's advertised price and the availability of the product.
Can I use coupons when price matching?
A guest can use coupons when price matching per Target's normal coupon policy. When the guests presents a coupon(s), these steps will be followed:
Manufacturer Coupons:
Manufacturer coupons will be applied after the price match is made.
Target Coupons:
Target coupons will be applied before the price match is made. If the competitor price is still lower than the price after the Target coupon has been deducted, the ad match can be adjusted to match the competitor's price.
Combining both a Target and Manufacturer Coupons:
The Target coupon will be applied before the price match is made. If the competitor price is still lower than the price after the Target coupon has been deducted, the ad match can be adjusted to match the competitor's price. Once the price match is made the manufacturer coupon will be applied.
Reminder: We accept one manufacturer coupon and one Target coupon for the same item unless either coupon prohibits it.
Target does not ad match a competitors coupon-required offers.
What do you mean by local retail competitors?
This refers to retail stores located within the same market area as a particular Target store. Examples of a market area can be a city, a metropolitan area or a specific rural region.
What about online price matching?
All online pricing, including Target.com, is excluded from our price matching policy, as well as online retail promotions or products advertised on another company's web or mobile sites.
Other price matching exclusions include:
Online prices, including Target.com
- Promotions or products advertised on another company's web or mobile sites, even those advertising in-store prices.
- Timed events (e.g., early bird, door busters)
- Items advertised as limited time/limited supply/limited quantity
- Membership club or loyalty programs (e.g. prices that require a club or loyalty card)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are the prices at my Target different from those listed on your site?
A: Target's sale prices are typically nationwide with a few exclusions, like soda Regular prices vary regionally and sometimes even from store-to-store within the same area. Generally prices are reasonably close, but some may vary greatly.
Q: Target refused to accept my Internet coupon. Why?
A: Target's nationwide coupon policy states that they do accept Internet coupons. If you have trouble with your local Target, contact headquarters or print the Target coupon policy to show in-store during purchases.
Target may still refuse Internet coupons if they do not scan. If this becomes a problem, try adjusting your coupon settings. Sometimes using Best can cause the ink to be runny and blur the barcode, while using Draft can cause the barcode to be unclear.
Q: Does Target offer rain checks? How do they work?
A: Target will issue rain checks on out-of-stock items, except gift card promotions. You can receive your rain check at customers service. Target rain checks expire 45 days after issue and are good on the item stated, unless otherwise noted.
Some rain checks are good on substitute items if you see the text choose a substitute at the bottom. With substitute item rain checks, you can select a similar, regular-priced item and get the same percent discount.
Sometimes, when an item is sold out, associates may place a tearpad or rain check notice where the item was on the shelf. Make sure to tear this tearpad slip off and take it to customer service to get your rain check. The tearpad slip is not a rain check!
Q: When does Target mark down products?
A: Target has a national markdown schedule. Watch the end caps of aisles for marked down, clearance, and discounted items. Mark downs take place every two weeks and items will continue to be marked down every two weeks until sold or reaches 75%. Target rarely marks non-holiday items lower than 75%.
Below is the full markdown schedule:
Monday: Electronics, Kids Clothing, & StationaryTuesday: Domestics, Women's Clothing, Pets, & GroceryWednesday: Men's Clothing, Toys, Health & Beauty, Lawn & GardenThursday: Housewares, Lingerie, Shoes, Sporting Goods, Movies, Music, Books, Decor, & Luggage
Friday: Auto, Cosmetics, Hardware, & Jewelry
Holiday are as follows (Christmas markdowns vary):Post Holiday Day 1-3: 50%Post Holiday Day 4-6: 75%
Post Holiday Day 7-8: 90%
Q: What if I find a damaged product in Target? Can I get a discount on it?

Many individuals use a small space heater if their main heating system is inadequate or if just one room of the home is cold. Space heaters have several fuel sources to choose from including electricity, propane, natural gas and kerosene. Their capacity usually ranges between 10,000 Btu to 40,000 Btu per hour.
Convection or Radiant Heat?
Wondering what the difference between a convection and radiant heat is? Convection heaters circulate the air in a room to raise the temperature. In other words, they heat the entire room.
Radiant heaters emit infrared radiation that heats up objects and people that are directly in front of it. Radiant heaters are a more efficient choice if you will only be in a room for a few hours and you can remain in front of it. Keep in mind that a radiant heater does not heat the entire room.
Vented and Unvented (Vent-free) Combustion Space Heaters
Unvented combustion units are not recommended for use inside your home. They introduce unwanted combustion products in the living area, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and water vapor. Keep in mind that most states have banned unvented kerosene heaters for use in homes and at least five have banned the use of unvented natural gas heaters.
Vented units are designed to have a flue gas vent permanently installed through a ceiling or directly through the wall to the outside. Look for sealed combustion or "100% outdoor air" units, which have a duct to bring outside air into the combustion chamber. Sealed combustion heaters are safer to operate than other types of space heaters and will operate more efficiently because they don't draw in the heated air from the room and exhaust it outdoors.
Less expensive and less efficient units use the room air for combustion. They do not have a sealed glass front to keep room air away from the fire and should not be confused with a sealed combustion heater.
In addition to the installation and operating instructions from the manufacturer, follow the general safety guidelines for operating any combustion space heater:
Electric Space Heaters
Electric space heaters are generally more expensive to operate than combustion space heaters, but they are the only unvented space heaters that are safe to operate inside your home. They don't have the indoor air quality concerns but there are other safety hazards to remember since they can cause burns and fires.
For convection (non-radiant) space heaters, the best types incorporate a heat transfer liquid, such as oil, that is heated by an electric element. The heat transfer fluid provides some heat storage, allowing the heater to cycle less and to provide a more constant heat source.
When buying and installing an electric space heater, you should follow these general guidelines:
When using a space heater it is important to remember safety. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that more than 25,000 residential fires every year are associated with the use of space heaters, causing more than 300 deaths.
When buying and installing a small space heater, follow the guidelines below:
For additional information on space heaters, contact Buncombe County Cooperative Extension at 255-5522.

This week 4 new phones have been announced by Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Nokia has announced the Nokia X3, Nokia X6 and the Nokia N97 Mini. Sony Ericsson on the other hand has announced the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 is going to be released similar to the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. The Xperia X2 is going to come in a X2 and X2a version. Basically one (X2a) will have 3G for North America and the other (X2) will have European 3G. The Xperia X2 is going to have Windows Mobile Professional 6.5, Wifi, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, and even an 8MP camera built in. All in all the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 does seem like a nice upgrade from the popular Xperia X1
Nokia's first phone is a follow up the the Nokia N97. The new phone is the Nokia N97 Mini. It is a strange release because the N97 Mini is pretty much the same as the N97. If you are wondering the difference one website saide the Nokia N97 Mini is the N97 at 90% the size. Basically it's not really that mini. It still has the 8GB of internal memory, the 5MP camera and the FM transmitter. If you found the N97 to be a little bulky then you should definitely give the Nokia N97 Mini smartphone a look
[image: Gsm Arena]
The second phone is the Nokia X3. This is rumored to be a lower budget phone. The rumor is that the Nokia X3 will cost around $150USD, but that has yet to be determined. The X3 looks to be a really nice phone. It's going to be a slider without 3G capabilities. It will have a 3.2MP camera, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, and will support up to a 16GB MicroSD card.
The last phone that Nokia accounced was the Nokia X6. This new phone will be a touch screen phone. It will have 32GB of internal storage, a 5MP camera, European 3G and up to 8h 30mins talk time. The Nokia X6 looks to be a really nice touch screen phone.
All these phones are expected to be out for Q4 2009. If they will be pushed back we can't say but for now we are eagerly awaiting all the new phones.

Comments about NIKE Pitch Soccer Ball:
I was making an order for a school for playground equipment. In the past I have always ordered from the PE magazines. At SA, I needed to be recommended balls that were going to last with regular use year round. The kids absolutely love these. They say, "These are the best we have ever had." These are cool!" "This is just like the one I have at home." With all that in mind, even the club soccer players said it was about time we got some decent soccer balls. In addition to that, I was not charged any shipping and handling costs since I made my order 'in store'. The entire order to only 2 weeks and it was delivered right to our school.

|Maybin Sparks Padres In Season Opener
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Friday, 01 April 2011 07:22
Cameron Maybin may have finally found a home with a Major League team.
An All-State baseball player during his prep days at T.C. Roberson High School in Asheville, NC, Maybin, at least for now, seems to have found a possible dwelling with the San Diego Padres. He made his presence felt on opening day as he homered with two outs in the ninth inning that tied the game. He eventually knocked in the game-winning run with a single in the 11th as the Padres rallied to beat St. Louis 5-3 at Busch Stadium.

For the past two years the Energy Advisory Panel has been promoting the Weatherization Assistance Program. The mission of the program is to reduce the monthly energy burden on low-income households by improving the energy efficiency of their home. The program is funded by the U. S. Department of Energy and is administered by the Central Florida Community Action Agency, Inc. This is a really good program for several reasons; energy savings, pollution reduction and it helps our neighbors that are economically challenged.
H.W. of Cedar Key writes: "Last month, you told me that I have to share the road with bicyclists and pass them just like they were driving a car. If that's true, why can't somebody riding a bicycle while drunk be arrested for drunk driving?"
By TONI COLLINS
Some days back, not that many, the weather chilled off in North Central Florida. This chill followed a couple of showers on the Cedar Keys. Not only did it get cold, it became windy, quite windy here on the Gulf Coast.
Lows were around fifty degrees and mid-day highs were in the sixties for several days. Even though the sun shown through, the winds created a chill that made it unbearable without covering most of the body with layers of clothing.
Not that long past, a couple weeks or so back, Anne and I went to Omaha to visit family. Anne wanted to be there in the fall of the year. That was part of the plan, to see Omaha and the plains and farmland as winter approached.
At the recent Seafood Festival, 13 Cedar Key students volunteered to monitor the three recycling/trash sites that were set up in the city park to maximize the capture rate of all recyclables.
The thriving consignment store, Déjà Vu, on Second St. was started by Nancy Stephens in 2002 when she saw the need in the Cedar Key community for locally available and economically priced gently used clothing. Thus began one of Cedar Key's many contemporary efforts to recycle.
Even if you haven't yet had the opportunity to shop at Déjà Vu, you've probably been recycling your clothes for years, though you may not think of it that way.
It was early morning a couple or so days back. It was cool, crisp and dry. The sun had not yet shown.
Dawn was near. A bright planet was in the western sky setting ever so slowly, Jupiter I believe. The sky was clear of clouds, the stars remaining were dimming.
Somewhere near, a heron squawked three times decreasing in volume. The water was calm. Some terns had awakened and were working the water in the calmer places.
C. C. of Cedar Key writes: "I wrote to you last month about being able to drive my golf cart around the city of Cedar Key without a driver's license even though my license was suspended, and you told me I couldn't because it was a motor vehicle and I had to have a valid driver's license. If that's true, why do I see kids who don't have licenses driving golf carts all over the place? If they can do it, why can't I?"

Many people don't know what balance transfers are or how to use them, so they don't utilize this great credit card feature. That is unfortunate, since balance transfers can be a key tool in keeping your finances stable. Balance transfers are generally easy; credit card issuers can walk you through the process over the phone whether you are signing up for a new card or using a balance transfer credit card you already have. Some issuers even allow you to do a balance transfer online. If you ever find yourself in any of these situations, you should consider doing a balance transfer:
1. I normally pay in full but can't this month.
If you know that you can't pay your monthly credit card statement in full and will be carrying a balance, you should consider a balance transfer so you can avoid paying interest. Most of the top balance transfer cards offer a 0% intro APR for up to a year and half, which gives you plenty of time to pay off your balance without being charged interest. If you have good credit, there is no reason you should be paying interest on your credit card balance.
Which balance transfer credit card to use: Slate from Chase. This is the best balance transfer credit card around. It offers 0% APR for 15 months, which gives you plenty of time to pay off your balance, plus it has no balance transfer fee. So it costs you nothing to transfer your balance. It also has no annual fee, so you truly aren't paying anything extra for this card. If you need a little extra time to pay off your balance, you could try the Citi Simplicity Card, which offers a 0% intro APR for 18 months but does have a 3% balance transfer fee.
2. I always carry a balance.
If you are constantly carrying a balance on your credit card, it can feel like all you are doing is paying off the interest you are charged each month. You are basically putting tiny band-aids on a deep cut. What you need to do is find a credit card with a lower APR. While credit cards offer a 0% intro APR for up to a year and a half, that time frame is not enough for some. Even if you plan on carrying a balance for years, you can probably get a much lower APR.
Which balance transfer credit card to use: Barclaycard Ring Mastercard. This credit card has one of the lowest ongoing APR that we've seen, at 8%. It also has no balance transfer or annual fees, so you won't be charged anything for using the card. If you will be able to pay off your balance with a year or so, we recommend the Slate from Chase credit card, with a 0% intro APR for 15 months and no balance transfer fee, or the Citi Simplicity card, with a 0% intro APR for 18 months.
3. I carry a balance but also want to earn rewards for new purchases.
If you want to get the most out of your new balance transfer credit card, you should pick a credit card that also offers great rewards. In addition to a 0% intro APR for extended periods, many credit cards are also offering cash back and point intro bonuses, as well as ongoing rewards for your everyday purchases. If you are getting a new card to transfer your balance, why not also make a little extra money?
Which balance transfer credit card to use: Either Discover it or Blue Cash Everyday Card from American Express (a NextAdvisor advertiser). The Discover it card has a longer intro period, with a 0% intro APR for 18 months, although it does have a 3% balance transfer fee. With rewards, it offers 5% cash back on purchases within select categories and 1% on all other purchases. Blue Cash Everyday Card from American Express offers a 0% intro APR for 15 months on balance transfers, although they have a 3% balance transfer fee. As far as rewards, the card offers 3% cash back at US supermarkets, 2% cash back on US gas and select department stores and 1% cash back on other purchases. Neither card has an annual fee.
4. I carry a balance on multiple cards and pay interest on all of them.
Why go through the pain of paying a bunch of different bills each month? You can kill two birds with one stone by transferring all of your credit card balances to one credit card. Not only does it make life easier by cutting down on the amount of bills you get, but it can also cut out all of that extra interest you are paying if you find a card with a great 0% intro APR or a really low ongoing APR.
Which balance transfer credit card to use: Citi Simplicity Card. You aren't paying much of anything for this card. It has a 0% intro APR for 18 months, which is the longest intro period we've seen. Plus, there are no late fees, no penalty fees and no annual fees … ever. There is, however, a 3% balance transfer fee. If you have a large balance and don't want to pay a balance transfer fee, you could also try the Slate from Chase card.
5. My current credit card just upped my APR.
If you've got good credit, the credit card companies are falling over themselves to get your business. Don't be held hostage by your credit card. Get a new one. If you have a 0% intro APR that just expired, you may also be able to transfer to a new one. However, doing this over and over without making a dent in your balance may be a bad sign to lenders. Still, if you can do it, it will probably save you a lot in interest payments.
Which balance transfer credit card to use: Any balance transfer credit card. If you aren't carrying a large balance and all you wan to do is switch to a card with a lower APR, the world is your oyster when it comes to balance transfer cards. To pick the card that is right for you, check out our Balance Transfer Calculator to find the best credit card for your needs.

Enhanced benefits package now offers 175 MW of new generation, including 55 MW of renewables, creating more than 2,400 jobs
CHICAGO AND BALTIMORE – Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) and Constellation Energy Group (NYSE:CEG) today filed a brief with the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) that increases the companies' commitments related to the proposed merger, which is currently under review by the PSC, and offers an enhanced package of benefits, totaling a more than $445 million investment in Maryland, projected to create more than 2,400 jobs in the state.
"We listened carefully to questions posed by the Commissioners and input from interested parties, and we responded by enhancing the already robust package of benefits that the merger will provide to Maryland," said Exelon President and COO Christopher M. Crane. "We think we have brought forth a good package that will benefit BGE customers, result in a stronger, better-protected BGE, and provide an infusion of thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars into the Maryland economy."
In today's filing, Exelon and Constellation committed to:• Build 175 megawatts (MW) of new generation in Maryland, including 55 MW of wind or solar capacity, which would increase the state's total renewable capacity by more than 30 percent. The new generation projects will be built within the state, for a total projected investment of between $220-280 million. • Construct—not renovate—a brand-new Constellation headquarters building in Baltimore, adding more than 1,100 jobs into Maryland's economy through direct, indirect and induced effects, for a total projected investment of $95-120 million.• Allowing BGE to retain its capital in lieu of paying dividends to Exelon through 2014 to ensure BGE can continue to support its significant level of investment in key customer and reliability-related initiatives. • Ensuring a majority of BGE's board of directors reside or have a principal place of business in Maryland.• Enhancing ring-fencing by adding to what is already the gold standard in the industry as well as increased corporate governance measures.
The investment of more than $445 million in Maryland as a result of the merger also consists of the previously announced $112 million from a $100 one-time rate credit for BGE residential customers; $15 million for the Maryland PSC to use directly for the benefit of BGE customers; and $4 million to support the EmPower Maryland Energy Efficiency Act.
In addition, the companies have committed to maintain charitable giving at an average level of $7 million per year for at least 10 years, for a total of $70 million.
In addition to the companies' merger filing with the PSC, Exelon and Constellation made other regulatory filings in support of their proposed merger. On Aug. 3, the Public Utility Commission of Texas approved the merger. Other regulatory approvals required include the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the New York State Public Service Commission and the Department of Justice. Shareholders of both companies overwhelmingly approved the transaction on Nov. 17. Pending all required approvals, Exelon and Constellation expect to complete their merger in early 2012.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 490,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.
Constellation Energy is a leading competitive supplier of power, natural gas and energy products and services for homes and businesses across the continental United States. It owns a diversified fleet of generating units, totaling approximately 12,000 megawatts of generating capacity, and is a leading advocate for clean, environmentally sustainable energy sources, such as solar power and nuclear energy. The company delivers electricity and natural gas through the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE), its regulated utility in Central Maryland. A FORTUNE 500 company headquartered in Baltimore, Constellation Energy had revenues of $14.3 billion in 2010. Learn more online: www.constellation.com.

In the previous sections, you used mysql interactively to enter queries and view the results. You can also run mysql in batch mode. To do this, put the commands you want to run in a file, then tell mysql to read its input from the file:
mysql <
If you are running mysql under Windows and have some special characters in the file that cause problems, you can do this:
mysql -e "source
If you need to specify connection parameters on the command line, the command might look like this:
mysql -hEnter password:
user-p <
When you use mysql this way, you are creating a script file, then executing the script.
If you want the script to continue even if some of the statements
in it produce errors, you should use the
--force command-line option.
Why use a script? Here are a few reasons:
If you run a query repeatedly (say, every day or every week), making it a script enables you to avoid retyping it each time you execute it.
You can generate new queries from existing ones that are similar by copying and editing script files.
Batch mode can also be useful while you're developing a query, particularly for multiple-line commands or multiple-statement sequences of commands. If you make a mistake, you don't have to retype everything. Just edit your script to correct the error, then tell mysql to execute it again.
If you have a query that produces a lot of output, you can run the output through a pager rather than watching it scroll off the top of your screen:
mysql <
batch-file | more
You can catch the output in a file for further processing:
mysql <
batch-file > mysql.out
You can distribute your script to other people so that they can also run the commands.
Some situations do not allow for interactive use, for example, when you run a query from a cron job. In this case, you must use batch mode.
The default output format is different (more concise) when you run
mysql in batch mode than when you use it
interactively. For example, the output of
species FROM pet looks like this when
mysql is run interactively:
+---------+ | species | +---------+ | bird | | cat | | dog | | hamster | | snake | +---------+
In batch mode, the output looks like this instead:
species bird cat dog hamster snake
If you want to get the interactive output format in batch mode,
mysql -t. To echo to the output the
commands that are executed, use
mysql -vvv.
You can also use scripts from the mysql prompt
by using the
source command or
\. command:
See Section 184.108.40.206, "Executing SQL Statements from a Text File", for more information.

Example of a Korn Shell Script
mysql --user=<user> --password=<password> -h <host> <<!!
|Posted by Donald Axel on February 18 2004 2:52pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
Lines beginning with two dashes are comment lines. Inside a shell script you will use #comment lines in the shell part and if you use a here-document you must use --comment lines inside the here document. Example:
===file petquery.sh===
# This is a comment
mysql -t <<STOP
-- This is a comment inside an sql-command-stream.
use menagerie
select * from pet ;
test $? = 0 && echo "Your batch job terminated gracefully"
===end-of-file petquery.sh===
DO NOT cut/paste the === lines.
I don't know how to make source listings inside the example.

A more secure way to use the shell.
So that passwords are not embedded in the shell source file create a password file:
echo "batchpassword" > /etc/security/mysqlpassword
chmod 200 /etc/security/mysqlpassword
Then in your script:
echo "update tablex set x=1 where a=2;" | mysql mydb --user=batchdb --password=`cat /etc/security/mysqlpassword`
This assumes you have created a user called "batchdb" with that password and the correct access rights to the database called "mydb".

When using mysql in batch mode you can use pipes to write an interactive but pre-scripted shell script. Be aware that you need to use the "-n" command line option to flush the buffer otherwise your read will hang. Here is a code sample in ksh:
mysql -u username -ppassword -D dbname -ss -n -q |&
print -p -- "select count(*) from some_table;"
read -p get_row_count1
print -p -- "select count(*) from some_other_table;"
read -p get_row_count2
print -p exit ;
echo $get_row_count1
echo $get_row_count2
(The -q option is optional)
Note: If you dislike using "-n" then make sure all your read statements are after the exit.

N.B. On most Unix systems, by placing the password in the command line with --password (even the above method for using a password file) you are making the password visible to local users, who can see the command string with a "ps" or "w" command.
Whilst some systems can be set to block this, and others would let you wrap the command in something that would overwrite what users could see as your command, the best way to do any automations like this is to create a specific unix user for the job (or use a user that is already secure) and place the password in the .my.cnf file for that user - making sure the permissions are set so that only the owner can read it

For newbies like me: This exact command allowed me to run a script from outside MySQL (using the DOS command line in Win98):
C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>c:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root -p < "c:\mysql\scripts\20060416_ShowInnodbstatusscript.txt" | more
Note: My text file had two commands:
Use db_name;
Show InnoDB Status;
FYI: I had been plagued by a foreign key error, but was unable figure out how to see the result of my Show Innodb Status command due to my 50-line DOS screen limitation. To get around this problem I
a) created the simple script shown above
b) created a foreign key error while logged into my MySQL user account, then
c) opened an additional DOS window to execute the command shown above.
Running the command outside of MySQL essentially creates a way to view command results one page at a time for folks administering MySQL at the command line (using Windows).

Suppose you want to run script `test.sql' in batch mode.
The most straightforward way, as mentioned at the very
beginning, is to say:
shell> mysql < test.sql
In order to further reduce typing, one wish to invoke
shell> chmod a+x test.sql
and then run `test.sql' as a usual Unix script.
But it doesn`t work.
It is well known that so-called Sha-Bang (#!) symbol
is used in Unix world to specify where actual interpreter
lives. For example, #!/bin/bash
My objective is to create small and convenient wrapper
to run MySQL scripts in the same way as I run other scripts:
just typing `test.sql'.
Here is the program:
* MySQL Sha-Bang wrapper. Public domain.
* Alexander Simakov
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
char buf[512];
int i;
buf[0] = 0;
for (i = 1; i < argc; i++) {
if (i == 1) {
strncat(buf, "mysql ", sizeof(buf) - strlen(buf) - 1);
if (i == argc - 1) {
strncat(buf, "< ", sizeof(buf) - strlen(buf) - 1);
strncat(buf, argv[i], sizeof(buf) - strlen(buf) - 1);
if (i != argc - 1) {
strncat(buf, " ", sizeof(buf) - strlen(buf) - 1);

re:Using mysql in Batch Mode - Windows XP - Vista:
If you need to specify connection parameters on the command line for using a text file use forward slashes
and print the word source, not the url of your file.
Example:mysql> source C:/inetpub/wwwroot/your folder/sql.txt; unfortunately the reference manual does
not allude to this.

Batches in Linux are ok but, running batches in Windows via a DOS box (cmd line) causes a lot of problems if other tasks are running.
I have a large file of SQL (1000 lines, 38Kb) that is generated nightly and run as a batch. For about 10 minutes the CPU utilisation is 100% and other programs slow to a crawl.
Sadly we have no nice for cmd.exe so cannot change it. We fixed the problem by using another program to execute the file as a series of SQL statements. As the program is a proper windows program (Delphi) then it yields from time to time and the CPU utilisation drops back. Ok, the SQL takes longer to run, but it run at 2am, so no one is waiting for it.

on windows, there's difference in batch mode(see example):
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>mysql -u me -p enagerie < batch.sql
Enter password: *****
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>mysql -u me -p enagerie -e "source batch.sql"
Enter password: *****

If you're trying to restore or create a database through mysql.exe using NSIS, this is the line you need
ExecWait 'cmd /C "C:\mysql.exe" -h localhost -u root -pMypassword < c:/MyFile.sql'
You got to put the 'cmd /C', without this it will not work. I've coped with grief

Note that Alexander Simakov's example (above) of using "Sha-Bang" to execute sql as a script from the command line does not handle shell command-line expansion of filenames.
For example, the given "test.sql" file attempted to be run as so:
shell> ./t*t.sql
results in:
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' to database './test.sql'

Type below two lines into Windows Command Line:
FTYPE sqlfile=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysql.exe -u %2 -p -e "source %1"
ASSOC .sql=sqlfile
In .bat files, use %%1、%%2 instead of %1、%2
Then, you can run .sql files directly by typing command in Windows Command Line using below format:
filename.sql username
例如:abc.sql root
C:\WINDOWS\system32>test.sql root
Enter password: ******************

When runnning on Windows and using the
-e "source filePath"
method ...
* filePath seems to need forward slash directory separator chars
* spaces in the filePath seem OK if the entire option is in quotes, as shown above
* not OK are any characters not included in the current non-unicode code page.

Can cut to size for different pots/pans. I will be ordering an additional set. I no longer have to use towels or other items to protect my high-end cookware bottoms and insides.
Great Idea, but. . . .
By cooklady
from U. S. Virgin Islands
I love the idea behind these pads, and use them to protect my expensive non-stick cookware, but the construction leaves something to be desired. I have re-glued the layers of three of the pads, and have cut down a couple of them for smaller pans. All of the pads are the same size and the edges come apart too easily, but aside from these minor flaws, I would recommend their use to protect your good pans.

Can I send a CD from MasterLink to a duplication plant?Yes. In fact you'd be hard-pressed to find a mastering facility that doesn't employ at least one Masterlink. If you send them a Red Book CD made by MasterLink, most are able to extract the P and Q codes from the CD's Table of Contents (TOC) and make a "glass master" and make thousands of copies from that master. Some plants are better than others in preserving the spacing and other data, so ask for a reference CD.
How long does it take to make CD copies?It's pretty fast, but it depends on what your playlist is like. If you have high-resolution files with lots of DSP, the MasterLink takes anywhere from slightly less than real time to 2x-4x speed to either burn a CD24 or, if you are making a Red Book CD, to process the files back to a rendered image on the hard disk. Once this rendered image is on the disk, the process is very fast: a 45-minute Red Book CD can be "burned" about every ten minutes.
Does MasterLink always need to render an image before burning the CD?No, rendering is only necessary when you are going to burn a Red Book CD, and you are using DSP and/or sample rate conversion and/or bit reduction. If your tracks are 44.1 kHz/16 bit, with no DSP applied other than Track Gain, no rendering is necessary, and MasterLink will burn the CD directly.
Can I record at high resolution and still make standard CDs to send out?Yes, you can make 24-bit/96 kHz mixes that are DVD ready, and still create standard Red Book CDs from that playlist. MasterLink will use its state-of-the-art internal sampling rate converter and dithering algorithm to make a standard audio CD that sounds almost as good as the high-resolution originals, even though it's 16-bit/44.1 kHz.
What if I'm using a professional mastering house?Most professional mastering engineers want to receive your material in the highest possible resolution, and many of them now have a MasterLink or a digital workstation that can read CD24 disks directly. If they're using analog processing, send your material as 24-bit, 96 kHz files. If they're using digital processing, they'd prefer 24/88.2 files (because then there will be a simpler sample-rate conversion to make a 44.1 kHz CD). For a complete album, you'll send several discs, since at these high rates a blank CD holds no more than 19 to 21 minutes of audio. To show the mastering engineer how you want to assemble the CD master, send written notes and a Red Book version of the CD sequenced the way you envision it.
What kind of blank discs does MasterLink use?It uses the same low-cost blank CD-Rs that can be found at any computer or office supply store, often costing less than $1 a piece (in quantity). All major brands are compatible and work satisfactorily. It is NOT necessary to purchase the "CD-R Audio" discs required by consumer CD recorders. It does not use "CD-RW" (rewritable) discs.
Can I slow down the CD recording to 2x or 1x?Some people want to do this, under the impression that there will be fewer errors in the disc at slower speed. That may have been true several years ago, but with today's generation of CD-Rs, 4x is just as reliable as slower speeds. In fact, the wow and flutter is less and the drive is more stable at higher speeds.
Can I quickly get my DSP values back to their default setting?Yes, just set the cursor under the value and press the and buttons simultaneously.
Can I rearrange sections within a song?If your MasterLink has Version 2.18 software you can make copies of any audio file in the "file pile" on the hard disk. You can then "cut up" the copy without changing the original. The Track Split feature allows you to divide a track at precise points. You can then take the segments and place them as elements in a playlist (they will play seamlessly with no space between them), and then, if you wish, use the Track Join feature to "glue" the elements back into a single, new track.
Does it have a multiband compressor?No, the compressor and limiter in MasterLink are the standard fullband type.
Can it use the extended-length 80-minute CDs?MasterLink does support 80-minute (700 MB) CDs but be aware that many consumer CD players may not handle playback of the last couple of tracks of a full 80-minute CD. Some players may not even recognize the 80-minute CD when you insert it.
My MasterLink keeps telling me to press the HD/CD button, but it never does anything?Please re-initialize the MasterLink by powering it up while holding in both and for just a few seconds. This is 100% safe, and can not in any way attach itself to any previously recorded audio. Also, which software is currently installed? You can find this out by repeatedly pressing the button until you get the "Sys Info" page. The newest version 2.18, can be downloaded here: Version 2.18 software as well as a document entitled "How to create a MasterLink OS disc". You might also want to download the "MasterLink Release Notes" as this will let you in on new features and bug fixes. If you do not have the ability to burn an OS disc, please forward your entire shipping address to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will be more than happy to get one out to you.
How can I tell what version software is currently installed?By repeatedly pressing the "UTILITY" button until you get to the "SYS INFO" page, you can tell what software is currently installed, what file system it's using, the EPROM version installed, and the model of the CD writer and hard drive installed.
My playlist is too big, how can I move a few tracks to a separate playlist?The MasterLink has two sections to it. The Playlist section, where you put together up to 16 CD playlists, and the Audio file section, where every audio file is stored. If you exceed the capacity of a CD in any playlist, you're going to have to delete songs until your playlist is within this capacity. But you're only deleting the reference to that song in said playlist, not the actual audio itself, thus the non-destructive nature of the MasterLink. To make a playlist of audio that has already been recorded to the MasterLink: 1.) Start from an empty playlist, or an existing playlist that you want to add audio files to. 2.) Press "PlayList Edit" and the "Skip" right/forward until you reach the (Audio File) section. If you are in the habit of naming your songs, your life will be much easier right about now, if not, you'll have to preview each audio file until you find the one you want to move. 3.) Once said audio track is found, press the "Track Move" button. You will then need to decide which track to put the file into, if you have started from an empty playlist, it will automatically ask if you want to move it to Track 1. 4.) Press "Track Move" again, and then cursor "Up/Yes" to answer the famous "Are you sure?" question. 5.) Repeat for each audio file you want to move. The key is to start from the Playlist that you want to manipulate. This allows you to have a playlist of 10 different mastered versions of the same song, without requiring you to have the audio track on the MasterLinks hard drive 10 times.
What is this "Offset St Offset" in my menu?Consumer Compact Disc player design can vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer,and across a wide price/features range. All CD players have output mute circuitry that activates when the player is searching for a track, such as after the skip forward button is pressed. Once a track is located, the player unmutes its outputs and begins to play audio. However, because of the widely varying designs of consumer CD players, this muting circuitry can be relatively slow (or fast) when muting or unmuting. This can cause a track to be slightly cut off at the beginning or end of the audio. MasterLink Version 2.18 software gives you the ability to add an offset to the track start ID of a RedBook CD either at the beginning or at the end (or both) of a track so that variances between CD players will not affect a CD created in a MasterLink. These offsets are typically measured in "CD frames", a frame being equal to 1/75th of a second. To edit Start and End Time offsets in version 2.18, press the button repeatedly until Utility Page 6 is displayed.
Is there a re-initialization procedure for the Masterlink?Yes! Simply power up while holding in both PLAY and RECORD for just a few seconds. The display will briefly read "Restoring defaults..." if it has been properly reinitialized. This is completely safe as it cannot attach itself in any way to any previously recorded audio.
How do I update the Operating System on the Masterlink?Please refer to the following guide for a detailed walkthrough:
Updating the Operating System on the Masterlink
Is the DSP destructive?No. Normally, the audio is played "through" the DSP on its way to the CD-R, just as if it were a signal processor patched between two recorders. In Version 2.18 software , you are able to render your DSP and make it part of the actual audio file, if you so choose. The only editing features that are destructive to the basic audio file are Cropping and Splitting (and the latter can be "undone" by Joining).
The Red Book CD I create on the ML-9600 plays fine on other CD players but won't play on my consumer DVD player, Why?Because of the difference in DVD laser operation, most consumer DVD players can not read CD-R disks, no matter what drive recorded them. Check you DVD player's documentation for compatibility information.
I burned a Red Book CD, but when I tried to burn a CD24 as a backup, MasterLink tells me that the Playlist exceeds the disc capacity. Whats up?If the playlist files are high-resolution, they may exceed the 650 MB capacity of a CD-R even though the total playing time of the playlist is less than the 72 minutes of a standard CD. In addition, CD24 discs are ISO9660 discs that incorporate better error correction than a standard Red Book audio disc. The error correction data takes up some space on the disc, so what fits on a Red Book CD may not fit onto a CD24. Please check the Owners Manual for a comparison of Red Book vs. CD24 disc capacities.
When I am burning or test burning a CD, my remote control does not work. Why?In order to ensure a perfect "burn", all resources are reserved for the burn process. The remote is therefore disabled during the burn process. However, you can still use the front panel buttons, e.g. for changing the .
When I use the Limiter, I get the levels right up to 0 dBfs. In my Rendered Image, however, I am getting occasional MAX LEDs. Why? Am I distorting?No, your audio is not affected. This is a display-only issue. The Playlist metering works from the 24-bit processing in MasterLink. The Rendered Image is always a 16-bit file. The difference in bit resolution is what is causing the false "Over" displays on the meter.
Is it possible to take a CD mastered on the unit at 24/96 and download it back on the internal hard drive? Then turn around and cut another CD at 16/44.1?Yes, you can perform a Move CD operation from the 24/96 CD-24 disk and burn a Red Book 16/44.1 CD. The unit will Render the image to the drive then burn the CD.
When I am burning a CD24, it seems to be slower than real time, although it is supposed to burn at 4X. Why?This is due to a common misconception. "4X, 8X," etc. in CD drive specs refer to the data transfer rate of a drive that is spinning at the same speed as a Red Book CD (this is because CD-ROMs are an offshoot of CD-Audio technology). It does not refer to "clock on the wall" time. If you're burning high-resolution files to a CD24, they take longer; for example, a 1-minute standard 16/44.1 file will burn in about 15 seconds, but a 1-minute long 16/88.2 file will take about 30 seconds to burn. The rate of data transfer in each case is in fact 4X, but the larger amount of data will make the second burn appear slower by the counter. For a more detailed explanation of this, please refer to the Owners Manual section on "Creating a CD".
Is the Rendered Image saved?The Rendered Image is saved into a 17th Playlist. This means you can make multiple CD copies of a playlist at 4x speed, without having to wait for the processing. It is then overwritten the next time you need to render a different Playlist. This rendered image cannot be deleted.
Do I need to purchase an external converter box to record or play back at high sample rates?No. The MasterLink has extremely high-quality internal A/D and D/A converters (the AKM 5393 and 4393) that can sample at 96 kHz and have 24-bit resolution. In the opinion of many professionals, these converters and the circuitry around them sound as good as some external converters costing as much as the MasterLink itself.
What sample rates and word lengths are available on MasterLink?Sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz are available. Word lengths of 16, 20, and 24 bits are available. Any combination of sample rate and word length can be used.
What is a "Red Book" CD?A standard audio Compact Disc, meeting the standard set by Sony and Phillips, that can be played in any consumer CD player. Red Book CDs feature 16-bit audio at the 44.1 kHz sampling rate only.
Can I record directly to CD?No, MasterLink always records to its built-in hard drive first. This allows you to do all the things you couldn't do if you went straight to CD, such as set precise start and end times, add space between songs, and adjust levels and signal processing for each song (not to mention cutting off the noises before and after songs).
Can you have songs of different resolutions in the same playlist?Yes.
What is a Playlist?Playlists are the basic structures that the ML-9600 uses to organize tracks before creating CDs. Each of the sixteen playlists is like a "CD in waiting" on the hard drive: a list of the songs that you want to have on your CD plus instructions for how each song should be processed. Within a playlist, you choose the order you want your songs to appear on the final CD, the amount of time between songs, the relative volume between the songs, what kind of DSP (compression, EQ, limiting) each track should have, and how long fade-ins and fade-outs will be. Playlists allow you to be in charge of exactly how your CD will sound. Each Playlist can contain up to 99 tracks, which is the Redbook spec. Keep in mind that the tracks in a Playlist are merely pointers that point to the Audio File stack on the hard drive. This is why you can change the order of songs and add DSP, etc. without affecting the Audio File itself.
What does Version 2.0 add to the features?Primarily, it makes editing more versatile. You can now: - Split a single track into several tracks, or join multiple tracks into one - Make a copy of an audio file (so you can "chop up" the copy without affecting the original file) - Quickly import an entire CD to the hard drive, in one operation - Copy and paste DSP settings from track to track - Copy playlist information and DSP information to a CD24 - Set start and end points more easily - Render the DSP to the audio file, making it permanent if desired - Add a start and end offset time, to keep sections of a track from being "cut off" when played in slow-access CD players - Loop a song, CD, or playlist for continuous playback.
I heard that there's a new version of software for MasterLink. Does it cost anything? How do I get it?New Version 2.18 operating system (OS) software for the Alesis MasterLink is now available at no charge. The MasterLink's internal software is in Flash RAM, so you don't need to take your unit to a service center or install a chip to upgrade your unit. You simply obtain a CD with the new system on it (from your Alesis dealer, Alesis Parts Department, or by download to a computer with CD burning capability) and place it into the MasterLink's CD tray. If your OS is pre-v2.00 it will reformat the hard drive on your MasterLink, so backup all important data by making CDs of all your playlists before upgrading your unit.
What are the correct settings for compression and limiting?That's a matter of artistic choicethere is no "correct" setting. But most professional mastering engineers use very subtle amounts of compression, sometimes taking only 1 or 2 dB off the peaks. To find out what you prefer, you can put the same songs into different playlists with different DSP settings, and listen to the resulting CDs for a few days through different systems. It's a great evaluation tool.
Can it crossfade between two songs?No.
Is there DSP (Digital Signal Processing) on board?Yes. There is 40-bit floating pointDSP. EQ (3 bands, all 20-20kHz, with Hi- and Lo-Shelving), Compression, look-ahead Peak Limiting, Normalizing, Fade In, Fade Out, and Track Gain are available.
