Rescue Crews Dive For Hundreds Still Missing After Ferry Accident By Mark Memmott • Apr 16, 2014 This post is being updated as news comes in. Unsuccessful in their attempts to find the missing in a sunken ferry off the southern coast of South Korea overnight, rescue divers resumed their search at day break Thursday, Jason Strother reports from Seoul. A day after the boat began to sink, the cause of the accident is unclear and less than half of the passengers who were on board have been rescued, Strother tells NPR's Newscast Desk. Most of those unaccounted for are high school students who were on a trip to a resort island. Hitching A Ride On The World's Biggest Cargo Ship By Jackie Northam • Mar 13, 2014 I started my journey at the famed Gdansk Shipyard, home of Poland's solidarity movement in the 1980s. It was nearly midnight when I arrived and saw for the first time the Maersk McKinney Moller, the world's largest container ship. I simply wasn't prepared for just how massive it is. The whole ship really can't be taken in, even standing at a distance, so I gave my neck a good stretch by scanning this behemoth end to end, and up and down. After A Downturn, Global Shipping Bets Big On Everything By Jackie Northam • Mar 12, 2014 On a cold, blustery day at Port Elizabeth in New Jersey, one of several massive cranes whirs along a rail high above the pier, picks up a heavy container from a ship's deck and loads it on a waiting truck back on land. The truck drives away, another arrives, and the whole process starts again. It's a scene played out every day along America's coasts as massive container ships from across the globe pull into deep-water seaports, waiting to be unloaded. The ships are enormous — some 10 stories high and several football fields long. Fundraising Efforts Pick Up for National Coast Guard Museum By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Feb 5, 2014 National Coast Guard Museum Association Like many cities, New London has plans to revitalize its downtown.

Rat-Infested Ghost Ship Might Be Heading For U.K. By Scott Neuman • Jan 23, 2014 A ghost ship full of diseased, cannibalistic rats could be nearing landfall somewhere in the British Isles.

The end of the Management and Infrastructure SIG – What Next? October 10, 2011Posted by mwidlake in Meeting notes.
Tags: Meeting, MI SIG, user group
1 comment so far
The 27th September was in some ways a sad day for me. It was the last of the UKOUG Management and Infrastructure Special Interest Group meetings. This SIG was dedicated to looking at how you cope with Oracle as part of a large or complex organisation. The last audience was bijou and compact but the speakers were cracking, as is confirmed by the excellent feedback everyone received from the post event critique forms.
It's always been a SIG with a small crowd come that came along, but it was also a SIG that some of us were screaming out for. Those SIGs and meetings dedicated to the hard-core technical sides of the Oracle RDBMS are of course great and much appreciated. But for those of us trying to manage a couple of thousand instances of Oracle/application server, or trying to look after the database within the sort of corporate IT forest that FTSE 100 organisations have to have, some of us were really keen to better understand the rest of the IT infrastructure, methods to look after such large Oracle estates and also the human side of things – that word "management". I know that the word "management" in the title put a few people off the events, but for others it was the management side (human AND technical) we desperately wanted.
So, why has it ended? Well, it hasn't really – we are merging with the RAC&HA SIG, chaired by David Burnham and his deputies. There is a lot of crossover between our areas and we found we were often using the same speakers. You do not tend to have RAC if you are not a large oracle site and you tend to be very interested in High Availability if you have a lot of Oracle stuff to look after. So, from next year, we will be the AIM SIG – availability, Infrastructure and Management SIG. It might not be a snappy label but it describes what we will be about. Details of this new SIG will be discussed at the conference in December, anyone with any thoughts on the subject is more than welcome to contact me.
This leaves me with one important task and that is to note my thanks and indebtedness to some of those who helped with the SIG.
The UKOUG staff have been great at supporting the events, especially (during my stint) Michelle Ericsson (who is now doing funky DJ stuff in the USA) and Marisa Harris, who picked up our SIG for this last meeting and was great at hearding her errant Chair and Deputy Chair into doing what we needed to do.
We have had a succession of good guys from Oracle help us out. Tony Clements was our first and longest serving Oracle buddy and Simon Moreton took up the cause after Tony went to pastures new. Mike Edgington pitched in at short notice when Simon was not available to us for this last meeting, even presenting. Special thanks also go to Andrew Bulloch who has been fantastic at giving or organising talks for us by Oracle on Enterprise manager and Grid.
Finally and most importantly I'd like to thank Neil Chandler. Neil has been the deputy chair since the SIG started and is probably – no, IS – the person who has done the most to support the M&I SIG through it's life. Neil's one of those people who does not push himself to the fore as he should (except maybe in the pub), resisting presenting and firmly holding one step back from being the chair. I don't know why, he presents very well and he knows a lot of stuff.
To everyone who came to any of the meetings and especially those who allowed themselves to be drafted into presenting duties, thank you very much indeed.

I ought to just mention that the UKOUG Management and Infrastructure SIG has moved from Tuesday September 20th to Tuesday September 27th (so two weeks from today). It had to be moved as we had a bit of a problem with the room booking. It will be in the usual venue of the Oracle City Office in London and is, of course, free to members of the UK Oracle User Group. {If you are not a member, you can come along for a fee – but if you are interested in coming along to see what a UKOUG Special Interest Group meeting is all about, send me a mail}.
So, if you fancy some free information about:
- Getting the best out of your intel hardware (and BIOS in general) {Steve Shaw from Intel}
- The latest on Oracle GRID and OEM {both presentations by customers not Oracle, one by Niall Litchfield and one by 'Morrisons',though Oracle supported us very well by finding one of the customers!)}
- A presentation and discussion on Outsourcing by Piet de Visser
- A consideration of how deep into the technology real-world DBAs need to go to solve issues (Neil Chandler and myself)
- An Oracle support update
Well, register for the event and I'll see you in two weeks!
UKOUG Oracle Conference agenda now out September 5, 2011Posted by mwidlake in Meeting notes.

I just wanted to drop a quick post to say that the agenda for the UKOUG annual conference is now out. You can check out the schedule here.
They seem to have dropped the TEBS (Technical and E-Buisiness Suite) out of the title, I think because last year the UKOUG staff kept getting asked if it was the annual Oracle conference they knew and loved from prior years. And of course it is. (Other "application" sides of the Oracle world, like JD Edwards and PeopleSoft, have their own dedicated, named UKOUG conferences).
There is also a return of the Sunday OakTable stream. For those who have not come across it before, it is a chance to see some presentations by members of the OakTable in a smaller and more accessible room. ie you feel better able to ask the presenters awkward questions.
I'm not sure of the exact details of registering for this part of the event but the agenda shows the talks that are happening (in fact, if you click on the "view the full 2011 agenda" icon on the agenda home page, it shows Sunday by default). I managed to get along to the OakTable Sunday a few years ago and loved it – I'll be on the opposite side this time, I'm priviledged to have been asked to fill one of the slots.
As ever, the conference has a massive and wide-ranging agenda, with mini-streams like EXA(data/logic) and MySQL on Monday,APEX on Wednesday… The number of papers and the general quality that are submitted to the conference goes up and up each year and a lot of effort goes into not just picking well know speakers but also a mix of new presenters and ensuring topics get covered. It's hard, but during the selection process sometimes there are 4 or 5 talks we know are going to be excellent but are all on the same or similar topic – some have to be dropped to ensure the breadth of topics is still covered. The number of slots a single person is allowed to have is also controlled, again to maintain space for a wide range of presenters and presentations. All in all, it is not a simple task and even now some tweaks are going on (to fill topic gaps, finalise the exact scope for a talk or to allow for people who suddenly find they cannot present anymore). You can rest assured though that, all in all, it will be an excellent conference.

I've got a couple of presentations coming up.
The first is at the UKOUG Management and Infrastructure SIG on Tuesday 20th September. I chair this SIG and it is all about how to manage Oracle when you have lots of databases, very big databases or a particular need to know a bit more about the rest of the IT Infrastructure. You can find the schedule here. The aim is to talk at a technical level but not the deep-dive of some of the RDBMS or HA presentations as we want to cover a wider brief.
As I say, one thing we do is look at the hardware your Oracle databases and application servers need to run on. This meeting we have Steve Shaw from Intel talking about getting the most out of your Xeon-based servers, but the general concepts apply to other platforms. If you are old enough, you will remember how you used to set up "HIMEM.SYS", "EMM386.SYS and try to keep as much of the first 640K of your memory free. You might even have got down and dirty with you BIOS settings. We did it as the performance boosts were significant. Well, we don't do that sort of thing anymore and Steve's talk will probably make you want to! It still is a free way to get more out of your hardware.
Piet de Visser is also coming along and I always really enjoy his presentations. This time he is covering something of interest/concern to many of us – Outsourcing. I think that will be a pretty lively session.
I'm presenting as well, with Neil Chandler on the topic of how deep you should dive when solving technical issues. To 10046 trace or not.
We meet in Oracle's city office, so handy for anyone in or around London or for anyone coming in from North of London (the office is 5 minutes walk from Liverpool Street Station and three stops along the underground from King's Cross St Pancras). We've still got to finalise one or two agenda slots but they will be real-world talks about Enterprise Manager/GRID control. One fixed item on the agenda is that those who wish to retire to a pub afterwards to continue the discussions.
You may have noticed the little logo for the UKOUG TEBS conference appearing at the right of this blog. The agenda is not quite public yet so I cannot say too much, but I will be presenting at the event, on Index Organized Tables. I'll be showing demonstrations of some of the things I have been blogging about and expanding on areas, joining it all up into one session. I might also be presenting on database design but that talk is being discussed and finalised at present. The UKOUG team have a lot of things that they have to pull together and organise just for the presentations, never mind the rest of the conferences such as the exhibition hall, catering, registration etc. I've been involved in helping with the agenda organisation this year, in a minor way, so I've seen it all from the inside.
The TEBS conference is, for me, the meeting highlight of the year. I've been to Oracle Open World and, interesting though it is and with some fabulous presentations and events, it is just too big, corporate and company line for me. Oh, I'd go again when the opportunity arises, but for me the UKOUG TEBS conference has a much better feel to it, you still get a load of great talks from Oracle about the latest/greatest, but you also get loads and loads of talks by many of the best in the field and the talks are independent – no pressure to be upbeat about Oracle or avoid any negative messages. In fact, if you honestly feel something in Oracle is worth avoiding, you are free to present and say "Don't Do This!"
I had planned to go to more of the European conferences this year but it did not get myself organised. For me, as an Independent consultant, I need to present to justify the trip and I keep failing to get the submissions in on time.
Telling the Truth in IT March 17, 2011Posted by mwidlake in Meeting notes.

I've been doing presentations for many years, mostly on Oracle Technology, occasionally on management topics. However, my favorite presentation to give is one about when things go wrong.
The title is usually something like "Surviving Survivable Disasters" or "5 ways to Seriously Screw up a Project" and, though the specific examples and flow may vary, the general content is the same. I talk about IT situations that have gone wrong or things that strike me as daft/silly/mindless in IT. My aim is to be entertaining and have a laugh at the situations but I also want to explore what causes disasters and how we might go about avoiding at least some of them.
When doing the presentation I have a couple of ground rules:
- I must have witnessed the situation myself or know personally, and trust, the individual who is my source.
- I do not name organisations or individuals unless I am specifically given permission {by individuals that is, organisations never get named. Except one}.
- I try to resist the temptation to embellish. It's not hard to resists, a good disaster usually stands on it's own merits.
It's a great talk for introducing some light relief into a series of very technical presentations or for opening up a day of talks, to get people relaxed. It's also the only talk I get seriously nervous about doing – if you are aiming to be entertaining and you miss, you stand to die on stage. The first time I did the talk I was physically sweating. However, it went down a storm. I did it 4 or 5 more times over as many years and it always went down well.
However, about 4 years ago I did the presentation just as I was about to go back to being self employed. After the talk a very good friend came over and said something like "Really entertaining talk but…maybe you should tone it down? A lot. Potential employers are going to take a dim view of you doing this, they will worry they will appear in the next talk". I protested that I never mention companies or people and, surely, all organisations are able to admit that things go wrong and it is to everyone's benefit if we all learn from them? My friend was adamant that though companies want to benefit from other disasters, they never, ever want to in any way be the source of that benefit. He was sure it would be very damaging to my potential career. Hmmmm…. I could see his point.
I was already scheduled to do the talk again in a couple of months and I took heed of his advice for it. I toned down the material, I removed some of the best stories and I added several disclaimers. I also died on stage. It went from an amusing 45 minutes to a preachy and stodgy affair.
I have not done it since.
The question is, should I have pulled back from doing that talk? Is it really going to harm my potential employability? (After all, no work has ever come my way from presenting). Why can't we be honest that issues occur and that learning from them is far more valuable than covering them up? After all, do we believe a person who claims never to have made mistakes?
What prompted this thread is that I have been asked to do the talk again – and I have agreed to do so. I'll be doing it next week, with the title "5 ways to advance your career through IT Disasters" for the UK Oracle user group Back to Basics event. This is a day of introductory talks for people who are fairly new to Oracle, the brain-child of Lisa Dobson. Lisa realised a few years ago that there were not enough intro-type presentations, most technical talks are by experts for fellow experts {or, at least, people wanting to become experts}.
I'm very happy to support helping those who are new to Oracle and I think it is important that people who are new to IT are exposed to what can go wrong – and any advice that might help them avoid it. After all, it's better they learn from our mistakes than just repeat them again. OK, they'll just repeat them again anyway, but they might spot that they are doing so just in time
Is this a good idea? What the hell, I want more free time to do things like this blog – and get on top of the garden.
How NOT to present November 30, 2010Posted by mwidlake in Meeting notes.

I'm at the UKOUOG this week and, as ever, the presentations vary in quality. Most are excellent {or even better than that}, some are not. I was in one first thing this morning and, I have to say, it was rushed, garbled, unclear and there was a definite air of unease and panic. I'm not even sure the guy got to his big point and I could think of at least three major things he did not mention at all.
I think his main problem was just starting off in a rush and never settling down. You see, I was stuck on the top floor of my Hotel and had to run to the venue. Yes, the poor presentation was by me😦.
I usually present well {modesty forbids me from saying I am a very good presenter – but modesty can take a hike, my ego knows I am capable of giving great presentations}. I am one of those lucky people for whom presenting has never been particularly frightening and, in fact, I find it easier to present to a group of people than talk with them.
But not today. I was already worried about the session, have been for weeks, as I was doing interactive demos. But last night I ran through it, wrote down the names of the scripts and the slide numbers so I could just bang through them and timed it all. 50 mins, I would skip one unneeded section. Calm. I got a reasonable night's sleep, got up early and ran through it all one more time, making sure my Big Point demo worked. And it did. Yes.
Went down to breakfast, had breakfast and back to the room to pick up my stuff. And realised I was late. Less than 10 minutes to do the 5 minutes over to the venue. So I fled the room, stuffing my laptop in my bag. But not my notes. Or my conference pass. I did not think of this as I stood on the top floor of the hotel, I just thought "where are the lifts?". They were all below me, ferrying hungry people to and from breakfast. After what seemed like an hour and was only 4 or 5 minutes I decided 16 flights of stairs was OK to go down and, to give me credit, I managed those stairs and the few hundred yards to the venue in pretty good time. I did pause for a few seconds at floor 7, I think, when I remembered my notes. Too late.
But I was now panicked and arrived as a dash. I had to mess about with the Audio Visual guy to get going and started 2 mins past my slot start – and then did the 5 minutes of non-relevant stuff I had decided to drop. It was game over from there, I was failing to find the correct scripts, I was skipping relevant sections and I was blathering instead of just taking a few seconds to calm down and concentrate.
Oh well, my first time in a large room at the UKOUG and I messed up. At least I had the key lesson drummed into me. TURN UP EARLY!!!!

The best Oracle event in the calendar (in my opinion) is only a month away now. From Monday 30th November to Wednesday 1st December the UK Oracle User group Technical and E-Business Suite (TEBS) conference is running. {Being old-school I still think of it as the UKOUG conference but the user group also run other conferences for eg Siebel, Peoplesoft and the up-coming JD Edwards event, dedicated to those segments of the constantly growing world of Oracle}.
I love the TEBS conference. I loved it when I knew almost nobody else attending it because of the breadth and quality of the technical presentations. When I was a manager I liked the fact I could mix going to the technical stuff to going around the demo booths and seeing if any of the services on offer were of interest. And now that I know more people who attend the event, I love catching up with them and also meeting new people who maybe I only knew before by name or reputation.
The social events around the conference are no where near in the same league as those at Oracle Open World – which means that the UKOUG ones are not massive and unfeeling, but of a size where you can bump into friends and be introduced to other people. {And, I should add, the UKOUG staff do an excellent job of organising them}. I'd say half the people I know in the Oracle world I met at the conference.
So having said how much I like the conference, the question is, am I presenting this year? There seems to be an inverse relationship to the number of years I have been attending and the number of talks I do. Back in 2004 I did 3, in 2005 and 06 it was 2, 2007 was 1. 2008 I had to skip the event and last year all my proposed talks were rejected. I blame the fact that the quality and number of abstracts submitted goes up each year.
The good news (or bad news, depending on your opinion) is that I am presenting again this year, first thing on Tuesday at 08:45
My SQL is suddenly performing badly and nothing has changed. Why?
I'm actually very nervous about this presentation as I want to not only describe why SQL might change how well it performs but also demonstrate the reasons – and how you detect them. Demonstrations take an age to prepare and, as fellow presenters know, have this nasty habit of dying under your feet. I've not got a lot of spare time at present so I already feel I am behind schedule!
I'll also be curious how many people from the MySQL field drift into the room thinking it is part of the MySQL stream {which runs on the Wednesday}. Sadly the talk will be of no use at all to them as it is very specific to Oracle!
Despite the presenting duties, I'm really looking forward to the event. I'd love to meet anyone who reads my blog, whether you like it or not. Just stop me and say "hi" if you see me around.

The next UK Oracle User Group (UKOUG) Management and Infrastructure SIG is coming up in a few weeks – 5th October in the Oracle City Office. You can find the latest agenda here. If you do not know what we (the MI SIG) cover, it is basically technical topics at a slightly broader level. So not so much example code but how feature X works or how to use Y over 100 databases plus. We also touch on management issues, which I always worry will put some potential attendees of,f but in fact nearly always goes down very well.
We have an excellent line up of topics and presenters for this meeting. Does Exadata work in the real world? Peter Scott will be presenting some of what he has learned doing this. Want to know about oracle's latest licensing options and how to save money? Alex Sandercock from Turnstone Services will be talking about that. Confused about how storage is changing and how the database interacts with it? James Moorle will cover that one.
It has been a real struggle getting the agenda together for this meeting, I can't believe we have ended up with such a strong one in the end. I mean, I am not even having to bore everyone with my voice again.
The first problem was I just failed to get the organising started. As the Chair, it is my main function to sort out the meetings. It was always "tomorrow" as I had so much on for every "today".
The second problem was we were up against Oracle Open World. We had a few people "in hand" who had indicated they would be happy to do a talk for us, but were scheduled to do OOW. I thought it was a bit mean to turn us down for some obscure vendor event in the US. So we moved our event by a month.
The final problem was that we still had trouble with speaker availability, as it was now so close (it might not seem close if you are considering going to a meeting, but if you are being asked to sign up to preparing and giving a presentation, 5 weeks is not a lot of notice).
It all came together in the end, with the help of the co-chairs, especially Neil Chandler.
I know I have said this before, but I struggle to understand why SIG meetings are not flooded with people coming to them. It is free training in effect (if your organisation is a member of the UKOUG – £80 otherwise, I think). All the presenters are experts, often presenting similar talks to those given at Oracle Open World or the UKOUG Conference. OK, it is a day not working in the office but as well as the "free training" you meet up with other people who have similar work issues as you. I find it invaluable to have a circle of external people I can occasionally say "What do you think of this" to. The meeting other people is aided by us retiring to a pub after the event, for those inclined to do so.
I try to get to SIGs when I can and in fact, if I was not at my own on the 5th, I'd like to be at the modelling and architecture one – I've been meaning to get to that one for ages.
Friday Philosophy – The Science of Oracle June 11, 2010Posted by mwidlake in Friday Philosophy, Meeting notes.

The title to this blog is very misleading. It is not about scientifically understanding how Oracle technologies work or even about the technology itself.
It is actually about the fact that a lot of scientific organisations, both academic and commercial, work with Oracle technology in ways to do directly with the science {as opposed to using it for CRM, HR or tracking students and results, which they also do but I'm not interested in that}.
If you have worked in Academia or charitable scientific organisations it can be a little suprising that Oracle is used so much, as it is expensive and corporate – there is a tendency to be poor and anti-corporate in such environments. But the thing is, Oracle is able to handle large amounts of complex data, in many formats, in many ways, and most programming languages can easily access the data in the database. You can achieve a lot with just PL/SQL and Java of course.
Commercial scientific organisations, like large Pharmaceuticals, use it for the same reasons of course, but for them the cost is not such an issues {I can imagine IT managers in such organisations going "It damn well IS an issue!" but trust me, not in the same critical way}.
What is the point of this blog? Well, it's about user communities. The scientific community have a tendency to push the Oracle database further than most Oracle users do. Take data volumes. I worked for many years for the UK-side of the Human Genome Project and part of what I did was create an Oracle database that scaled to 100TB. Even now that is pretty large but I was designing and implementing it back in 2004-2005. The data volumes CERN are going to have to handle for the Large Hadron Collider just dwarf that, and they only hold summarised data of summaries of the actual raw scientific data generated.
Another aspect is coping with very rapid change, for example systems to support lab processes. This is similar to your standard factory management system except that the level of change can be daunting. The process can change, well, weekly, as the science and techniques improve in the lab. Those scientist might even completely change what they are doing when some unexpected avenue opens up. I say "might", seemed to happen every month.
In scientific organisations there tends to be more openness about what and how they do things. Academic and charitable scientific organisations tend to put less barriers in the way of exchanging knowledge than corporations do and so that encourages more exchange of information. When I was working in the area I was positively encouraged to go to conferences and present. Obviously this is not always true and scientific corporations, like Pharmaceuticals, have gained {rightly or wrongly} a reputation for being very reticent about sharing any knowledge at all. But often the individuals involved will share.
So, the scientific community push areas of the technology very hard, they tend to be an open bunch of people, cost is often critical and, the final thing I have not mentioned, is that they often speak a language only vaguely recognisable as English, due to the jargon. Sounds like a community to me.
The real reason I mention all this is that it looks like, after about 4 years of considering and discussing having a science SIG {Special Interest Group} in the UKOUG, I will finally be putting together an agenda for an initial meeting for such a thing. I wonder if it will be a success?
Northern Server Technology Day – Advert April 22, 2010Posted by mwidlake in Meeting notes.
Tags: Meeting

I'm a bit late doing this, but next week is the UKOUG Northern Server Technology Day.
As the title suggests, this is a day of technical presentations for Oracle users in the North of England. Of course, it is open to any UKOUG member (and anyone else, for a small fee), but the idea behind it is to provide a user group event for those who are not based in the South of England and so might struggle to the usual events. This year the day is being held in Leeds, which is where I was at college, so I am more than happy to return to my old stomping ground and support the day with a presentation on Database Statistics.
There are other, probably much better, presentations by David Kurtz, John Hallas, John Scott, Piet de Visser and David Phizacklea too. I've seen them all do their stuff before and it should be a cracking day. Check out the agenda via the link at the top of this post.
If you are an Oracle user who is based up in the North and have an interest in the meeting, I would urge you to make the extra effort to attend. It is a constant complaint that the UKOUG is biased towards having events in Reading, London and the Midlands and not a lot elsewhere, but to have events further afield there needs to be an active and interested audience to justify the event. The better the event is supported, the more likely it is to continue and prosper and potentially attract other UKOUG SIG meetings North.
Actually, on that note, I will also mention the Scotland 2010 conference meeting, a must for Oracle users in Scotland or those who would like to mix a technical conference with visiting Scotland {and I have to say, I do enjoy visiting Scotland}. Not sure yet if I can get there myself this year😦

Wisconsin State Fair attendance tops a million, most since 1969
Beautiful weather drew record-breaking crowds of more than a million fairgoers to the Wisconsin State Fair this year, numbers that may be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, fair officials said.
The 11-day event attracted 1,012,552 attendees, and even weekdays saw as many as 122,000 guests. Total attendance was 10% higher than last year and the largest reported since 1969 — though the fair only started scanning tickets in 2002, which gives the most accurate numbers. »Read Full Article(14)
Even in pink, Miranda Lambert as fiery as she wants to be
For years, Miranda Lambert was country music's female underdog.
While Carrie Underwood was an "American Idol" champion and quickly became the genre's glamorous queen, Lambert was a third-place finisher on cable TV's "Nashville Star" who preferred faded jeans to flowing gowns. Taylor Swift was the sweetheart-next door-turned worldwide pop star, while Lambert was the rough-edged spitfire — famous in her small town for all the wrong reasons. »Read Full Article

APT's 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern' turns 'Hamlet' inside out
SpringGreen — Imagine having never heard of "Hamlet" and then unexpectedly becoming a small-time player in its tangled plot. Or, if you'd prefer, imagine a typical week in your own harried existence, in which you're constantly being made aware of how utterly random life can be — and how little control you really have.
It's all the same to Tom Stoppard, whose "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" fuses the Bard and Beckett in a comic and also moving commentary on modern life. Under James Bohnen's direction, we're being treated to the comedy and the pathos in a stellar production at American Players Theatre, with actors in the same roles they've assumed in APT's "Hamlet." »Read Full Article(3)

Hot answers tagged degassing
The purpose of degassing in wine or mead is to benefit the yeast. CO2 is toxic to yeast and inhibits the yeast's ability to fully ferment the larger amount of sugars in wine/mead. Degassing mead is highly recommended during primary fermentation to help the yeast, even if you plan on making a sparkling mead. I'm curious about whether beer would benefit from ...
Wine is degassed because it is served still. "Still" is a term that means not-carbonated. Beer is carbonated, so there is no need to bother, since you are introducing CO2 to the beer anyway. Mind you, there are phases of beer production on certain styles where you are essentially degassing, (diacetyl rest) but that is for different reasons than why you ...
I haven't done a whole lot of degassing of wines myself, generally if you let them bulk age long enough they degas on their own (which is what I usually do). Here's an article on degassing that may be informative: http://homewinery.info/viewarticle.php?id=46 It sounds like you needed to do a lot more stirring to degas your wine. I've also heard of people ...
The oxidation in wine you get from vigorous degassing is minimal compared to beer, and those flavors are actually beneficial. The cardboard or paper flavors that brewers fear from post fermentation oxidation are a result melanoidin based molecules. Melanoidins are very low in wine. They sell those wine whips that attach to a drill for a reason. Whip away ...
I've made several batches of wine from kits and have always had at least a 2 week secondary followed by at least 6 months in the bottle for white, 12 months for red. I can't give you specific details of why this is necessary - just that time is a great healer. You could rack the wine now, but it will taste better if you wait a week.
You should be agitating the wine or mead without sloshing it. The agitation happens under the surface, which causes the co2 to be released. There should be little or no motion on the surface, and certainly no splashing. This next point is a bit controversial - for mead, don't worry about oxidization - the oxidization of honey is apparently actually ...
I'd say you might be fine. Since a carboy has a slim neck, you probably didn't get too much oxygen in while the CO2 escaped. Is there any reaon not to do the "puff" test now? If you were to bottle with a lot of gas in the bottles, you could get exploding bottles, corks shooting off or simply sparkling wine - depending on the amount of CO2 left.
I don't think that a bubbly surface and harsh taste is a signature or inadequate degassing. If the wine fermented out to a 12% alcohol product, then fermentation was pretty good. The yeast would have consumed much of the O2 in the wine after pitching. Perhaps some of the off flavors then is related to fermentation temp or the must itself. I don't know a ...
I don't make wine, but my understanding is that the purpose of degassing is to release the remnant CO2 still in solution at the completion of fermentation. CO2, of course, is desirable in beer, so one wouldn't want to expel that after fermentation. It's the opposite with wine.
One of the most simplest, inexpensive, and fast ways to degas wine is to buy a metal paint mixer at Home Depot for $16. Stick it in a battery drill and spin that wine, after racking to secondary of course, until it practically foams over. Takes about six seconds.
You probably have malolactic fermentation happening in the bottle. Apples are high in malic acid. If any oenococcus got in there-- it's ambient and lives in wood, often found in barns, garages, etc-- then it will eat the malic acid and produce lactic acid-- which is what makes Chardonnays buttery. The bacteria lives in oak, and is why we associate oak ...

Music stands are an invaluable piece of equipment for musicians from all walks of life. Whether you're a classically trained musician working on a piece, a busker with a book full of songs and chord changes, or a conductor leading an orchestra through a beautiful concerto, a music stand can keep your important charts and notes close at hand. When the time comes to pick out the music stand that is right for you, there are a few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, how many stands do you need? Are you purchasing for a large group, perhaps a school band or orchestra? If so, there are several bundles available to you for purchasing in bulk. If, on the other hand, you're looking for only one stand, there are more than enough options available to suit your needs. Many music stands also offer a folding feature that is great for rooms where space is at a premium. These stands can be set up when needed and quickly folded down when not in use for easy storage. If space is not necessarily an issue, then many stands actually offer additional space for your needs. Stands such as the M51 Fourscore or the M54 Regal Conductor's Music Stand, both from Manhasset, offer plenty of room to effectively layout your musical booklets and charts. With more space on your stand, you can look ahead while performing so you know what's coming up as you're playing. Whether you're looking for a special, vintage styled stand for yourself, or a large bundle of stands for a classroom or pit environment, there is a music stand or set of music stands that are perfect for your needs. From individual performers to larger groups, musical stand can help keep you aware and focused on your music so you can make the most of your performance.

Plaque is a buildup of cholesterol, white blood cells, calcium,
and other substances in the walls of arteries. Over time, plaque narrows the
artery, and the artery hardens (atherosclerosis).
Plaque sometimes
reduces blood flow to the heart muscle, which can cause angina symptoms, such as chest pain or pressure.
Plaque in the large artery in the neck (carotid artery stenosis) may reduce
blood flow to the brain.
Plaques are covered
with a fibrous cap, which may rupture if some trigger causes a surge in blood
pressure or causes the artery to constrict. A person may have a heart attack or stroke if
a plaque breaks open, creating a blood clot that completely blocks blood flow
through the artery.

Sip & Spin: DJ Terry Radjaw's Softer Side"/>
Sip & Spin is a new weekly feature on Reverb that asks local DJs what's in their crates and what's in their cup. For our inaugural edition, we caught up with DJ Terry Radjaw, best known for local hip-hop trouble/party-starters Mad Rad and Fresh Espresso, who has lately been indulging a more mellow and soulful side with a series of rooftop happy hours at the HG Lodge.
Where are you spinning?
Radjaw: Pinky's UP at the HG Lodge rooftop, 5-10pm on Tuesdays.
What's in your crates?
Currently I am feeling lots of '50s and '60s music--Chuck Berry to Terry Stafford to Diana Ross to the Animals to Jackie Wilson to all the classics. As well as Douster, Don't Talk to the Cops!, Weeknd, Millionyoung, Mr. HIll, Toro y Moi, Katie Kate, Metal Chocolates, & Fresh Espresso.
What's your drink of choice and where are you drinking it?
Pink Panthers [that's amaretto, vodka, pineapple, and grenadine], mojitos, and margaritas. It's summer, biatch, so anywhere outside. Captain Blacks, HG, or when I'm making them myself Wednesday nights at Moe Bar.
Tonight's Pinkys UP features guest DJ Jonathan Moore, lately manager of Shabazz Palaces and all-around 206 hip-hop mover from way back.

A busy buzzing bee
Does your little one want to buzz around like a busy bee? If so, then your little bee will also need the Buzzy Bee Wand to complete his or her stripy costume. The Buzzy Bee Wand has a stuffed bumble bee on the end with shimmering black and gold wings that will sparkle by Jack-o-Lantern light for Halloween. The cute, friendly bumble bee is also beautifully striped in big and bold black and yellow stripes. For a little more magic, the wand also has black and yellow ribbon streamers that will trail behind them as they buzz around trick or treating of visiting friends and flowers alike at any costume party. The Buzzy Bee Wand is great fun for your little one and their imagination will soar even when watching the bundle of ribbons soar and fly, thinking about everything they learned at school about bees and their role in our planet's ecosystem. The Buzzy Bee Wand is a wonderful companion to a whole bumblebee costume for Halloween, birthday parties, a costume party, a school play, or just pretend and imaginative play that kids love so much.

You've got 4.5 shopping days until xmas, and though it's been said that it's better to give than receive; giving and then receiving a little something yourself has its good points too. Like for instance, I happen to know that if I shell out for a large flat-screen, it'll be hump-city at my house. But dick for tat isn't always so simple. After the jump, I'll show you how to transform your beliked into your completely besotted, with one simple package. . . .
Buy for the person they are, not for the person you'd like them to be.
Buy for the person they are, not for the person you'd like them to be.Your tomboy girlfriend isn't going to find her inner Dita Von Teese just because you sprang for a pair of scratchy see-thru nylon drawers and a peek-a-boo bra from Victoria's Secret. Nor is your t-shirt-wearing little drummer boy going to quit the band and enroll in biz school because you buy him a suit. Buying aspirational (when they're your aspirations) gifts is insulting and off-putting and will not get you laid. In fact, it may even get you dumped.
While you're at it--buy for them, not for you.
While you're at it--buy for them, not for you.My boyfriend thinks we have far too many books in the house, so he keeps threatening to buy me a Kindle for Christmas. I adamantly do not want a Kindle and have said so several dozen times. You can bet there'll be zero in the way of xmas nookie if I wake up to one of those. (However, if he springs for an iPad, there'll be blowjobs a-poppin'.)
Say NO to the Snuggie and/or the Slanket.
Say NO to the Snuggie and/or the Slanket.Even if your man has hinted that he'd really love to eat nachos and watch the game in one of these things, jam your fingers in your ears and ignore. If he wants one so bad, he can shell out the fifteen bucks or whatever they cost. These polyester atrocities are boner killers and Dutch Oven incubators. You may as well purchase 500 cats and a housedress.
Unless specifically requested, stay away from "helpful" hinting. Self-help books, gym memberships, fat-free candy, home waxing kits, Rogaine, and/or anything produced by the Spanx company are all very bad ideas unless you're a glutton for punishment, because you will be punished (and not in a fun way). And you will deserve it.
Pay attention.
Pay attention.Most (not all) women like jewelry, but the thoughtfulness of the gesture will be negated if you buy gold when she exclusively wears silver, or pearls when she's a nut for amber. And while to me, the NFL and the NHL are the same thing with a one-letter difference, apparently to a football or hockey fan, they're two totally different sports and so ticket and/or jersey purchases should not be confused. You get Triple Boner Bonus Points if you think back and then buy something your Special Naked Friend had mentioned wanting weeks or months earlier.
Keep the "ho" outta "ho, ho, ho." Finally, while it may sound counter-intuitive, that in a list of strategies designed to get you laid under the mistletoe, I'm advising you to dial down the naughty, but trust me. Supplementing their regular gift with edible body paint or nipple clamps is fine, but wrapping up a giant box of vibrating cocks and a gallon of lube tells them that you only think of them as a pole or a hole. Which, depending on what kind of relationship you have, could be cool. However, for most folks this is a risky proposition and you should only go down this route if you're certain it will end well for you.

Corinth IV was the fourth planet of the Corinth system.
In 2266, Space Commander José Dominguez was commanding a Federation starship base on Corinth IV. He sent a message to James Kirk, captain of the USS Enterprise, reminding Kirk that he was in possession of supplies which he "urgently needed." Kirk sent a message back informing Dominguez that the prime Mexican red chili peppers, which he had hand-picked, would be arriving in a matter of days. (TOS: "The Man Trap")
